What 31 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: exactly in all the good holy hell is going on? 32 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: John Thune runs the Senate. John Thune is the Senate 33 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: majority leader. He took over for Mitch McConnell, and he 34 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: is supposed to be a guy who's all about it, 35 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 2: getting things done, getting things accomplished. Why in the world 36 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: do you have ambassadors and cabinet secretary level positions not 37 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: being confirmed. Two hundred and fifty five people have been 38 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: voted out of committee to be voted on by the 39 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: full Senate. One hundred and seven have been confirmed. What 40 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: about the rest? Why isn't this done? Why isn't this 41 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: moving with speed and alacrity? For what reason are we 42 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: slow rolling? I don't have an answer. My problem is 43 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 2: I don't think they have an answer either, because what 44 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 2: they're putting out there daily signal with the reporting Jacob 45 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: Adams reporting there. Republicans say it's democratic instructionism, with Schumer 46 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: throwing up procedural hurdles that have led to Democrats of 47 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: preventing confirmations being passed by unanimous consent. Okay, where is 48 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: the conversation happening from the Republicans that, Hey, these low 49 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: lifes over here are preventing us from getting people confirmed 50 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: in a speedy way. We should be putting pressure on 51 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: them to get him to stop. At least we should 52 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: publicly shame them, or maybe call Chuck Schumer a punk 53 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: loser every now and again. 54 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: Why isn't there at least I gave you a whole 55 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: bunch of options, you could pick anyone you like. 56 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: Why is there nothing?

They should call him 74 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 2: a low life, you know what, every name in the book, 75 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 2: and then make fun of his sister and then walk out. 76 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: The only way you make this stop is if you 77 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 2: make it stop. And right now, Republicans ain't making it stop. 78 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 2: What exactly are you doing? Procedural hurdles from Democrats? Don't 79 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: go home, don't sleep, go vote rama, go twenty four 80 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 2: to seven for a week. That old man can't keep 81 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 2: up with you, and by the way, call him an 82 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: old man. Chuck Schumer makes Joe Biden look adept. Chuck 83 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 2: Schumer makes Joe Biden look like a competent leader. Chuck 84 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: Schumer makes Kamala Harris look like a class act. It 85 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: doesn't matter what you say, just keep at it. Make 86 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 2: this stop, because what we see from the Republican Party 87 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: is acquiesced, like. 88 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 4: Somehow there's a there's a plan at play. 89 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 2: You don't understand the plan, Tony, there's a system, and 90 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 2: we're gonna do this, and if we wait a little bit, 91 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: we do that and then what we'll get done over here? 92 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: Would you stop it? This is about not having a stomach. 93 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: You have got an entire press corps screaming about Jeffrey 94 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 2: Epstein when you know they don't give a dam about 95 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein. They don't care about children being sex trafficked 96 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 2: or sexually abused. They care about whether or not they 97 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 2: can hurt Trump. Where the Republicans saying that end mass 98 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: It should be a constant refrain. It should be press 99 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: conferences on Capitol Hill. You should be interrupting Democrats when 100 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: they're appearing on MSNBC to call them lying lowlife frauds 101 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: when they're engaged in activity that is worthy. 102 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 3: Than being called lying lowlife frauds. 103 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 2: They don't care about who got hurt by Jeffrey Epstein 104 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 2: and his sexual predilections. They don't care that children were abused. 105 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 2: They only care because they want Trump. They only care 106 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: for their political purposes. Tell us, tell the world, tell 107 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 2: the name that Democrats don't care about children based on 108 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: their actions. There's a fight in the Republican Party, although 109 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: it's not a rift. 110 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 3: These people are still behind President Trump. 111 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: That hasn't changed because some of us demand the release 112 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: of these things about I've seen, and some say it 113 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. Why are we focusing on it? This is 114 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 2: all just about the Democrats. It's no big deal. Of course, 115 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: it's a big deal, and we were right all along, 116 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: and the people who said don't focus about it, including 117 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: President Trump. 118 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: We're wrong on this one. That's all. 119 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: We're not mortal enemies. I think Megan Kelly is wrong 120 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: about Israel. I don't think we're mortal enemies. I'll get 121 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 2: into that coming up. We have the ability to disagree 122 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: without somehow everybody. 123 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 3: Losing their damn mind. 124 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: We can do this, but it's very difficult when we 125 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: won't look at the Democratic Party and the media apparatus 126 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 2: that controls them, supports them, lives for them, and dies 127 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: for them, and say, you don't know that that Democrat 128 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 2: doesn't care about children. You're ridiculous. What's wrong with you? 129 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: That Democrat doesn't care about kids. I've been saying this 130 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: about a Cassio Cortes for years now. She doesn't care 131 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: about black and brown children being trafficked across the border. 132 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: She doesn't give a damn. Four years of Joe Biden, 133 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 2: she never showed up on the border to cry. If 134 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 2: you don't show up at the border to cry at 135 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: least every four and a half months, you don't care 136 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: about children. Acossio Cortez Alexandria Cassio Cortez does not care 137 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: about black and brown children being shepherded across the border 138 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: for sex trafficking or anything else. She doesn't care, not 139 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: because I say so, but because she said so. Democrats 140 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: do not care about children being sex trafficked by by 141 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 2: Jeffrey fsc and Jelaye and Maxwell, what Prince Andrew was 142 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 2: involved with, and doesn't care that anybody else within their 143 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 2: ranks may have been involved, which is why, of course 144 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 2: we want the data. 145 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: They care that it can hurt Trump. 146 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 2: They want political power more than they want safe children. 147 00:08:52,720 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: Say so, They're disrupting confirmation. They're putting out procedural hurdles. 148 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: My god, I'll say it to engage it rhetorically, would 149 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 2: you just punch somebody in the neck already? 150 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 3: What does it take? You're just gonna lay back and 151 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 3: take this. 152 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I don't know how this isn't a bigger story. 153 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 2: I am actually shocked that we're not getting it. The 154 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 2: Daily Signal has a nice write up here, and if 155 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 2: you take a look, it says at the end of 156 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: President Joe Biden's first eight months in all office August 157 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, one hundred and fifty of his civilian. 158 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 3: Nominees were confirmed seventy four percent. 159 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: So in Trump's first term, you've got one hundred and 160 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: thirty civilian nominees. Now they say that's about seventy six 161 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: percent of those reported. So you argue the same percentage 162 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: but not the same number of people. And these are 163 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: civilian nominees. But if you tell me that it's Democrat 164 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 2: obstructionism and you aren't focused on ending me obstructionism through 165 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 2: just full on embarrassment, shaming them and utilizing what exists 166 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: out there to try and get movement, I don't know 167 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: what you're doing. What are you waiting for? Slowly this 168 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 2: will get done? And what is this that we hear 169 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: about the idea of keeping the Senate open? 170 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 3: Follow me on this. 171 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: There's this, we can call it a rumor, this concept 172 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 2: going around that somehow to avoid Senate recess appointments to 173 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: which the President has power to do the senators and recess. Okay, 174 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 2: you work in this posison, You work in that position 175 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: and appointed your recess appointments done. There's this idea that 176 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 2: the Senate will remain open and every third day they'll 177 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 2: be gabbled into session for an hour. So therefore there 178 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 2: is no recess, so therefore no recess appointments. 179 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 3: What are you doing? 180 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,239 Speaker 2: What is this now? I could use a little confirmation 181 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 2: on that. I have heard this now a couple times 182 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 2: and I'm like, that doesn't make any sense to me 183 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 2: at all. Well, neither does not confirming these nominees. Mike 184 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: Lee send here from Utah saying, at the current pace, 185 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 2: it'll be April twenty twenty six before we confirm the 186 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty five Trump nominees now pending in 187 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 2: the Senate. What are we waiting for? What possibly are 188 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 2: we waiting for? Democrats have power when they're in the minority, know, 189 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: crush them. The best Chuck Schumer can do to try 190 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: and rally the troops is say Republicans want Jim Crow 191 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: laws when it comes to voting, because we demand they 192 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 2: don't want poor people and black people to vote. 193 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 3: This is the best he can do. 194 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 2: A conversation that he cribbed from Stacy Abrams in twenty 195 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: twenty two. Yeah, I think this guy is soft. I 196 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: think he's weak. I think he's a punk. And I 197 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 2: am not gonna even talk about what I think about 198 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 2: his mother. When a guy is that much of an 199 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 2: obstructionist in calling you a racist, I think you could 200 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 2: talk about his mother when they call you a racist, 201 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: you could talk about their memh. 202 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 3: I think that's very, very loud. I know the memah 203 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 3: is the grandma. But go with me. 204 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 2: Take him out now. That's considered violent, and I don't 205 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 2: want that. Politically, take his legs out from under him. Yeah, 206 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 2: I'm allowed to say that, So I'll say that. Politically, 207 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 2: take his legs out from under him. Start throwing it 208 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 2: right at him, overwhelm him, don't stop. But this being 209 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 2: silent stuff and this delay stuff. My god, Republicans, I 210 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 2: thought you had learned something already. I'm Tony Katz. This 211 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: is Tony Kats today. Well, based on the midday numbers, 212 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: it's not like the the GDP is making the markets 213 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: just catch fire. That is not what we're seeing. But 214 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: three percent. That is something else, man, I'm sorry, that's 215 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 2: an outrageously good number, Tony Katz, Tony kats today, good 216 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: to be with you. Three percent growth because that is 217 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 2: fully involved in the tariffs, right, even with the tariffs 218 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 2: and everything else here we are, I think that today's numbers. 219 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: And certainly by the time. 220 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 2: You know, if you've got the podcast version of this, 221 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 2: we already know whether drum Powell has lowered interest rates, 222 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 2: which which these numbers kind of play in too, which 223 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 2: is to say, we're cooking with gas. 224 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 3: Things are happening, and. 225 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 2: There is something here to to grow and to capitalize. 226 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 3: On, and the movement of capital is the way to 227 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: make that happen. You know. 228 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: There's the argument I think originally is well, maybe the 229 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 2: interest rates stay up because the economy is too hot. 230 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 3: That's I think. I think even I have been disabused 231 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 3: of that idea. 232 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: No, No, there's a there's a way to make things 233 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 2: move with this. The question though, is why tariffs, and 234 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 2: we've got this that's that is very much something else. 235 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: So I'm going to have much more on that on 236 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 2: that subject to get to much more on the numbers. 237 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: But man, Jerome Powl is taking hit after hit after 238 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: hit on not lowering interest rates, as that decision will 239 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 2: will come today. 240 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 5: The FED will make its interest rate decision today. Nobody 241 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 5: expects them to cut rates today. Everybody thinks they're going 242 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 5: to leave them unchanged. The chief executive, Azaria, that's James fishback, 243 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 5: James joins me. Now, James, you say Powell is disconnected 244 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 5: from reality and the confidence in the FED is crumbling. 245 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 5: Those are strong words. 246 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 4: Make your case, young man. 247 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 3: Well, good morning, Stuart. 248 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 7: It turns out that Jerome Powell is simply the Anthony 249 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 7: Fauci of economics, so wrong, smug, and completely unaccountable. He's wrong, Stuart, 250 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 7: because just last month he told us it is official 251 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 7: projections that GDP was going to come in at one 252 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 7: point four percent. It came in at three percent, more 253 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 7: than double his expectations. 254 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is that is that is wrong. That is 255 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: absolute wrong. But calling a guy the Anthony Fauci, that's 256 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: just that. I once referred to who's the guy in 257 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: the sports guy Skip Bayless, producer landing Skip Baylett. I 258 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 2: refer to Skip Bayless as the Jim Kramer of sports, 259 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: which I thought was a pretty pretty good dig. But 260 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: Jerome Powell is the Anthony Fauci of economics. 261 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 3: There's a guy who has to know the writings on 262 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 3: the wall. 263 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 2: It's every gun is out from the Wall Street Journal 264 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: with a story today about how federal Reserve governors are 265 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: starting to speak out and depending on what happens, will 266 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 2: speak out regarding rates. You know, if you had asked 267 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 2: me before the GDP of three percent, what do I 268 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: think Jerome Powell is going to do? 269 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 3: I think you keep trades right where they are. I do. 270 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: After the three percent GDP, I'm not one hundred percent sure. 271 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 3: I will tell you. I will tell you that. 272 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 2: It's it's certainly possible that he doesn't do anything, and 273 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 2: and I won't be surprised by it. But I'm telling 274 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: you the three percent number is something else here. Tariffs 275 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 2: included three percent, and an economy the size of ours 276 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: that is solid movement. 277 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 3: And while we're gonna bring. 278 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 2: It up a couple times today, it's worthy of bringing 279 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 2: up in the future. I am starting to as I 280 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,959 Speaker 2: discussed yesterday, I think China is in worse shape than 281 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 2: we know. I think there's an economic reality as companies 282 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: have moved out and moved manufacturing specifically, it's Indian and 283 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 2: there's an India story to get to. I think they're 284 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 2: starting to see a level of unrest within the country 285 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 2: with a population that's like there are no jobs, there 286 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: are no future, there is no future. Why am I 287 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 2: even trying? I just want to paint and be silly 288 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 2: all day. The dream of communism is an absolute nightmare. 289 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 2: As we know, there's absolutely a continued crackdown on free 290 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 2: speech and a people who want to engage information, share information, 291 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 2: and that is in a constant level of tension. And 292 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 2: then of course there's the population bust as we know 293 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 2: it is coming. Based on the data, they're going to 294 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 2: lose hundreds of millions of citizens. They one point three 295 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 2: billion people. But what if that is already happening. They 296 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 2: built ghost cities because they wanted to give people jobs, 297 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 2: but now they don't have anybody in the ghost cities. 298 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 3: Have they gone the way of Japan? 299 00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 2: And now they're going to engage decades long stagflation and 300 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 2: then well the very concepts of deflation if that should 301 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 2: come around. I think China's in a heap of trouble. 302 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 2: And now you take a look at how the US 303 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: is growing. I think it's just pressure on pressure. It's 304 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: three percent with tariffs. It's pretty and good keep it here. 305 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 3: It's Tony Kats Today. 306 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 2: So the tsunami did not do damage in the United States, 307 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 2: but holy cow eight point eight on the Richter This 308 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 2: was off the eastern coast of Russia and led to 309 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: tsunami warnings across the Hawaiian Islands, pushing people to search 310 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 2: for higher ground. And then these waves hit the western 311 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 2: coast of the United States, California all the way up 312 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 2: through Oregon, Washington, through British Columbia.

If there's a guy who's like, I need 419 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 2: to know where you are, yet to tell me where 420 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 2: you are every second of the day, you have to do. 421 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 3: There are other guys out there, Yes, there are there 422 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 3: are other guys out there, But this kind of stuff 423 00:26:59,200 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: leads to. 424 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 2: Men not having the same relationships with other men that 425 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 2: they used to add on to this, all the feminist 426 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 2: low lifes out there, Oh see that one. I'm not 427 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 2: apologizing for at all. I meant that every bit of that. 428 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 2: You can quote me on that. The last name is 429 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 2: spelled katz. Go get them all these feminists who said, well, 430 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 2: it's not okay to have men only spaces, and you 431 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 2: eliminated the ability to men, for men to be around 432 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 2: other men and speak like men do, and we do, 433 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 2: and we speak differently than when we're around women. I 434 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: have had to teach this to my kids. The things 435 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 2: you say to your buddies is different than the things 436 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 2: you say to your mother. And if you don't understand 437 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 2: it at first, that's okay. You just have to do it. 438 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 2: You will learn to understand it. Will walk ourselves through it. 439 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 2: But if you take away the spaces for men to 440 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 2: engage with other men, engage with other men, but they 441 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 2: still have certain levels of need. And now, yes, it 442 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 2: goes to their spouse because societally, you took them away 443 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 2: from everybody who was a man who they could then 444 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 2: engage with, share ideas with, you have conversations with, to have 445 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 2: moments with what this doesn't happen. Of course, this happens. 446 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 2: Of course this happens. And the women who are in 447 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 2: the happier relationships, the happiest of relationships, the happiest of marriages, 448 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 2: are women who absolutely understand that the men in their 449 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 2: lives need their own time to do their own thing. 450 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 2: Very often the women need to as well. Now maybe 451 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 2: it comes to different levels of degrees different people. 452 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 3: But they absolutely need their own time with their own 453 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 3: friends to do their own thing. 454 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 2: And if the trust isn't there, that doesn't happen. So therefore, 455 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 2: if there's no trust, there is no happiness. You cannot 456 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 2: have happiness without trust. It doesn't exist. Why are you 457 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 2: unhappy with your government taxes? Okay, okay, get the taxes 458 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 2: to the side. You don't trust the government, that's why 459 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 2: there's no happiness with the government and taxes are of 460 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 2: course a reason. How can you trust somebody who keeps 461 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 2: thinking they're allowed to steal from you? 462 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 3: Without trust, you cannot have. 463 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 2: Happiness, can't be done, cannot be accomplished. And look at 464 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 2: all the work that the feminists and others have done 465 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: to say you can't have trust. Guys are guilty of 466 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 2: this as well. And then oh, you can't go out 467 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 2: with the guys here. You can't do this with the 468 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 2: guys there, toxic masculinity here. 469 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 3: What do you think is going to happen? 470 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,479 Speaker 2: A twenty twenty one survey says fifteen percent of men 471 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 2: said they didn't have any close friends, up from three 472 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 2: percent in nineteen ninety. 473 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 3: The same report showed. 474 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 2: That in nineteen ninety, nearly half of young men said 475 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 2: they would reach out to friends when facing a personal issue, 476 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 2: and then two days two decades later, just over twenty 477 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 2: percent said the same. They don't have men in their lives. 478 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 2: And by the way, young men don't have men in 479 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 2: their lives who show them how to have conversations, how 480 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 2: to engage debate, how to bring ideas forward, to be 481 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 2: able to understand what criticism is, to learn, how to 482 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 2: accept that criticism and grow from it. They aren't taught 483 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 2: how to be men, and so what happens They become 484 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 2: more and more feminized because they're only around women. You 485 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 2: know who has this conversation better than anybody? Quite literally 486 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 2: better than anybody Black men. There are some really incredible 487 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 2: talks going on on social media. We should find someone 488 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 2: and bring them on the show. If there's no male 489 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 2: figure in your life, and you are a man and 490 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 2: you have only been raised by women, you're aunt this, 491 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 2: and your grandmother this, and your cousin, and if. 492 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 4: You only have women around you, how do you learn 493 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 4: tackling to men? 494 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 3: How does that happen? 495 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 2: And you could argue, well, Tony, yes, you're bringing this 496 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 2: up culturally about black men. What I'm saying to you 497 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 2: is that this story, what it says to me, is 498 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 2: about all men. 499 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 3: They don't have other men in their life. 500 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 2: So therefore young men don't have other men because dad 501 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,239 Speaker 2: doesn't have friends over so they can speak to other 502 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 2: men and learn how other men talk and engage. And 503 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 2: men are different than women, and men also can never 504 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 2: be women. That's a unique thing. I bet you didn't know. 505 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 2: Men cannot be women and women cannot be men, and 506 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 2: people who say so are wrong, and they're wrong, and 507 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 2: they're wrong, and they should be told that they're wrong. 508 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 3: Interesting story. 509 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 2: I've got it there on the show sheet over at 510 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 2: Tony kats dot com from hot Air, which goes to 511 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 2: a real kind of detailed conversation of this. It's interesting, 512 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 2: it's interesting. But all of this, all of this is 513 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 2: what feminism brings. Feminism is trash, and so are feminists. 514 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 3: Quote me, I'm Tony Katz. 515 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 2: According to the studies, if you take the ozembic, if 516 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 2: you take the Goovi, it can increase testosterone levels and 517 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 2: help your sex life. 518 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yes, oh god. 519 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 2: Yep, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, how you doing excuse. 520 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 3: Me while I take my injection. Well, that could be. 521 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 3: That's a story. 522 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 2: It is weird at this stage of the game, the 523 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 2: number of things that they say, these GLP one type 524 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 2: drugs are helping with and certainly we're going to see 525 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 2: in the years ahead people who have taken these things regularly, 526 00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 2: and these people are studied what level of side effect exists. 527 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 3: I won't be surprised. I don't think anybody should be 528 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 3: surprised if that should come. 529 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 2: To be, Like Hey, we learned this happens. I'm not 530 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 2: gonna be surprised by that. But when you take a 531 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 2: study of one hundred and ten men with obeseity or 532 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 2: type two diabetes, they're taking GLP one medications like ozepi wigov. 533 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 3: Is that zep bound as well or is it wunjaro. 534 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 2: I don't know which one is which in that one, 535 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 2: and they take a look at them taking these GLP 536 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:34,959 Speaker 2: one medications but not taking testosterone. Eighteen months of treatment, 537 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 2: the average age of fifty four. What they saw was that, 538 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 2: in addition to weight loss, the proportion of men with 539 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 2: normal levels of both total and free testosterone rose from 540 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 2: fifty three percent to seventy seven percent. So is the 541 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 2: GLP one itself helping with that or is the weight 542 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 2: loss helping with that? That's so the argument is from 543 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 2: Saint Luisent University Hospital. Our studies, among the first, provide 544 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 2: compelling evidence that low testosterone can be reversed with the 545 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 2: use of commonly prescribed anti obesity medications. 546 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 3: The real story in this is all the insurance. 547 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 2: Companies who are like, no, no, we're not gonna We're 548 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 2: not gonna cover that. No, no, no, I don't care 549 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 2: if it's been you know, uh, prescribed by your doctor. 550 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 3: I don't know. It doesn't matter that they've called in 551 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 3: seven times. 552 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 2: No, we're not gonna We're not gonna cover that. That's 553 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 2: that's the probably the biggest thing right now. And for 554 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,919 Speaker 2: all these companies, you've got people who are willing to pay. 555 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, but there's you're gonna have to 556 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 2: ask yourself. We have this many people willing to pay 557 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 2: the top dollar, but we've got this many people willing 558 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 2: to pay the smaller dollar. 559 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 3: Maybe it makes more sense. 560 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,959 Speaker 2: But also there's gonna be a real pushback on insuran 561 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 2: as companies. Why aren't you covering this? My doctor says, 562 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 2: who are you? That's gonna come. But I mean, at 563 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 2: this stage of the game, there doesn't seem to be 564 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 2: anything that these drugs aren't doing to be helpful. The 565 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 2: only thing they're really doing that you know, that I 566 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 2: know of, to harm is the bourbon industry is down. 567 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 2: People drink less when they're on these medications, and sony 568 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 2: people are on these medications. It's a drinking less and 569 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 2: so yes, the bourbon industry has been affected by other things, 570 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 2: but by this as well. If he's sure your head 571 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 2: over to Tony kats dot com and subscribe and like and 572 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 2: do all the things. 573 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 3: More is coming up. This is Tony Katz today. 574 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: Why from dall Hertbiner and the Crossroads of America. 575 00:35:52,960 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 4: It's Tony Katz today. 576 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:14,359 Speaker 2: Trusting the New York Times is a mistake, one could argue, impossible, 577 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz Today. I'm going to walk you 578 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 2: through a couple of pieces here in regards to Israel. Now, 579 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 2: I should be full disclosure and I am. I am 580 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 2: absolutely a Zionist. I apologize for absolutely nothing. Israel's right 581 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 2: to exist, Israel's right to defend itself, that it is 582 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 2: and always has been, Israel unquestionable. I have no issue 583 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,879 Speaker 2: with Palestinians have a place, having a place to call 584 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 2: their own. I have an issue with Palestinians supporting terrorists, 585 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 2: quote unquote, electing terrorists and being part of the October 586 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 2: seventh attacks that murder twelve hundred people and set babies 587 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 2: on fire. 588 00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 3: I don't forgive it. 589 00:36:59,280 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 8: Now. 590 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,879 Speaker 2: Maybe it's not for me to forgive, but I don't 591 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 2: forgive it, and I don't forget it. And I understand 592 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 2: who is responsible, and that is Hamas and they are guilty, 593 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 2: and the world will be better off when every member 594 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 2: of Hamas is dead. Not because I want to go 595 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 2: on the attack. I want to be left alone. I've 596 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 2: often made the statement that I want to have a steak, 597 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 2: smoke a cigar, and have sex with my wife, and 598 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 2: sometimes I don't even want steak. In every way, I 599 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 2: just want to be left alone. Yet I've got these 600 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 2: Islamists who don't want to leave anybody alone, who couldn't 601 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 2: accept the peace deal in forty eight, who couldn't accept 602 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 2: losing the Six Day War, who couldn't accept losing yum 603 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 2: kipor war, who can't accept the fact that they are 604 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 2: the impediments to peace time and time and time again. 605 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 2: And yet somehow, in a world filled with bigots, it's 606 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 2: always Israel that's the problem. With all due respect, that 607 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 2: isn't the case. This is the lie that gets told 608 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 2: and repeated again and again and again. And you see 609 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 2: the support that Hamasque gets, which brings us to the 610 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 2: New York Times where I started. The New York Times 611 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 2: cannot be trusted. They put on the cover of the 612 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 2: New York Times as if it's somehow all the news 613 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 2: that's fit to print, they put a picture of a very, 614 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 2: very sickly boy. They said that this was the situation 615 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 2: in Gaza, starvation everywhere, the picture of this boy, and 616 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 2: this boy looks sick, and this boy looks emaciated, and 617 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 2: this boy you could see his. 618 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,479 Speaker 3: Ribs through his skin, and it is. 619 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 2: Absolutely horrific, and they said, this is what Israel is doing. 620 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 3: To the people of Gaza. This photo. 621 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 2: Then got a correction, and The New York Times on 622 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 2: their social media feed wrote, we recently ran a story 623 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:18,800 Speaker 2: about Gaza's most vulnerable civilians, including this boy, who is 624 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 2: about eighteen months old and suffers from severe malnutrition. They continued, 625 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 2: we have since learned new information, including from the hospital 626 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 2: that treated him and his medical records, and we have 627 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 2: updated our story to add context about his pre existing 628 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 2: health problems. 629 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 3: Oh so he isn't being starved. 630 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 2: There are a series of issues with this boy that 631 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 2: are leading to this moment. 632 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 3: Huh. 633 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 2: I mean, that's terrible for the boy, But but why 634 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 2: didn't you do this investigation before you posted the photo? 635 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 3: Why didn't the New York Times. 636 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 2: Check before they posted the photo? And maybe maybe you 637 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 2: could have looked at one of the photos that shows 638 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 2: another boy next to him. 639 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 3: As this boy is. 640 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 2: In what would obstensibly would be his mother's arms, there's 641 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 2: another boy there could be his brother. And that boy 642 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 2: looks perfectly fine, totally healthy, not emaciated, strong. 643 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 3: Like a young boy. How is he fed? 644 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 2: And yet this boy in the mother's arms totally emaciated. 645 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 2: Why would the New York Times. 646 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:46,280 Speaker 3: Allow this to happen? 647 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 2: Well, the only reason to allow this to happen is 648 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 2: because you are absolutely taking the side of Hamas and 649 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 2: that is unacceptable, indecent, disgusting and despicable. And if you 650 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 2: trust the New York Times, there is there's no possible 651 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 2: way for you to get an honest. 652 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 3: Clear story. 653 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 2: To support the New York Times is to say, I'll 654 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 2: throw in with the worst of the worst, the most dangerous, 655 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 2: the most awful, the most manipulative. 656 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 3: And I'll do it with a smile. And then you'll 657 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 3: take the New York Times and. 658 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 2: You'll look at this and say, that terrible story, how 659 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 2: dare you write that story or read that story or 660 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 2: print that story, and shame on you. 661 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 3: And then you'll read the next story and you'll believe it. All. 662 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,240 Speaker 3: That's called the gell Man effect. 663 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 2: You read a story, you know that it's false, it's 664 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,479 Speaker 2: proven false, it's proven a lie. But the next story 665 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 2: you read in the same exact publication, you're like, oh, well, 666 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 2: that's very interesting, Like it's believable. Everything that you have 667 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 2: heard regarding the starvation. 668 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:55,919 Speaker 3: In Gaza is the fault of Hamas, every last bit 669 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 3: of it. 670 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 2: I don't say to you that the Israeli military does 671 00:41:59,000 --> 00:41:59,760 Speaker 2: everything perfectly. 672 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 3: This is not my argument. 673 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 2: The IDF is far from perfect. The IDF, howeever, is 674 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 2: pushing out video showing how the UN is not getting 675 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 2: the foods people. How Hamas this terrorist organization where every 676 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 2: member needs to be killed. Sorry, if you got some 677 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 2: kind of problem with that. I don't think I'm the 678 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 2: show for you. But I'm pretty sure that Candice Owens 679 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 2: is doing something you would love to listen to. Hamas 680 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 2: steals the food. Hamas doesn't care if its people starve. 681 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 2: They don't care. And yet all this blame to Israel. 682 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,720 Speaker 2: I've got Mike Huckabee, who is the US and master 683 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 2: to Israel, saying the UN is to blame for Gaza hunger, 684 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 2: not Israel. 685 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 9: Well, attest to the fact that there is a humanitarian 686 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,399 Speaker 9: food efforts going on. You recently had Ken Isaac's from 687 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 9: Samaritans Personal. I watched the interview that you did with him. 688 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 9: It was wonderful. Ken actually went into and embedded for 689 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,319 Speaker 9: three days with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and found that 690 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:11,440 Speaker 9: there were people being fed. The UN unfortunately wouldn't help GHF. 691 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 9: They had nine hundred trucks full of food sitting on 692 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 9: delivered sitting in the sun, rotting. Other so called humanitarian 693 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,839 Speaker 9: organizations had palets of food thousands that would have fed 694 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,920 Speaker 9: people for two years. The problem has been that the 695 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,280 Speaker 9: UN has been sitting on its hands rather than using 696 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 9: its hands to pass out the food. 697 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 2: That's the US ambassador to Israel explaining the situation as 698 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 2: it is. 699 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 3: But this doesn't change the minds. 700 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 2: Facts don't change the minds of ideologues. If you don't 701 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 2: know what Pod Save America is, it is a podcast 702 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 2: and it is a popular podcast, and it's run by 703 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,720 Speaker 2: the guys who were all there with Obama, all these 704 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 2: Obama bros, Tommy vived Or who I think is despicable 705 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 2: in a host of others. 706 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:04,760 Speaker 3: It's not that they're not allowed to have a different 707 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:05,920 Speaker 3: opinion than me. 708 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 2: It's that their opinions are very often of a radical nature. 709 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,920 Speaker 2: These are the people who I find view as anti 710 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:19,879 Speaker 2: American and the subject of Israel and on Democrats, they 711 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 2: think that they're being intellectual. 712 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 8: And I don't think Democratic candidates should take money from 713 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 8: APEX or vote to fund to military support for Israel anymore. 714 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 8: Like I really don't this government, absolutely not, and that 715 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 8: especially includes I think the next Democratic nominee for president. 716 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 10: Things I want to see Democrats at least calling for 717 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,439 Speaker 10: is cutting off military says into Israel. It's a rich country. 718 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 10: By the way, they don't need our three billion a 719 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 10: year and hands out right back. Obama signed a ten 720 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,719 Speaker 10: year MoU for three point three billion a year. Like 721 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 10: so weird part of the problem here, let's correct it. 722 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 10: I would like to see talk about sanctioning Israeli government 723 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,720 Speaker 10: officials who use genocidal rhetoric or who talk about ethnic 724 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 10: cleansing openly. We should support a ceasefire resolution at the UN. 725 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 10: We should demand that international press be allowed into the 726 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 10: Gaza strip to report on what's happening without an IDF minder. 727 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,160 Speaker 10: It's insane. Press still can't go with the guys that 728 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:02,839 Speaker 10: and cover what's happening. And I also think like there 729 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,240 Speaker 10: has to be a total mindset change in the Democratic 730 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 10: Party when the war ends. We are not going back 731 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,759 Speaker 10: to the pre October seventh status quo because where the 732 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:10,239 Speaker 10: party is. 733 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 3: We know that's not where the party is. 734 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 2: We understand that the Democratic Party, Tommy, is an anti Semitic, 735 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 2: anti Western civilization party. You may disagree with me and 736 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 2: be like, my gosh, that's a level of overkill. 737 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:27,320 Speaker 3: Noticed. 738 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,840 Speaker 2: You don't have any argument for me if you aren't 739 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,799 Speaker 2: interested in giving financial aid to Israel, and a lot 740 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,840 Speaker 2: of people not interested in giving financial aid to Israel, 741 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 2: and now. 742 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 3: A lot of people not insitud of giving financial aid. 743 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 2: Okay, I don't fault you for thinking that that shouldn't happen. 744 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 4: That can be part of a much larger conversation. 745 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,920 Speaker 2: But we're not going back to an October seventh, of 746 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 2: pre October se What does that even mean. The bigotry 747 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 2: of the left is a mainstream bigotry. 748 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 3: We talk about this the other day with the chicks 749 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:01,959 Speaker 3: on the right. 750 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 2: When you look at candas Ow and Ja Tucker, Dave Smith, 751 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 2: these people get pushback from the political right. The pushback 752 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 2: from the left is zero. It's mainstream to the bigotry. 753 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,719 Speaker 2: This is an argument about whether or not Israel can 754 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 2: even defend itself, and this argument wouldn't hold for any 755 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,439 Speaker 2: other country, doesn't hold in any other capacity or any 756 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 2: other context. And their like minded fellow travelers, the New 757 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 2: York Times are willing to lie and manipulate and edit photos, imagery, 758 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:39,399 Speaker 2: iconography to push this idea. So the Democratic Party isn't 759 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:44,400 Speaker 2: going back, no kidding, boo boo, you are here. 760 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,359 Speaker 3: You are right where you are in the. 761 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,840 Speaker 2: Loving embrace of Rashida talib Ilhan Omar and Lewis Farakhan. 762 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:58,960 Speaker 2: We see you, we know what you're about. But I 763 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:04,760 Speaker 2: will tell you that I was most disappointed to see 764 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 2: this from Megan Kelly. 765 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 3: I don't like or not like Megan Kelly. I've never 766 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 3: met Meghan Kelly. 767 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,440 Speaker 2: I go back to the first run for president by 768 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,760 Speaker 2: Trump and the debate from Megan where. 769 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:21,840 Speaker 3: Megan Kelly was the bait moderator. 770 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 2: I thought she was terrible, did a fine show, she 771 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 2: was terrible, terrible, absolutely terrible. 772 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:31,920 Speaker 3: Then you take a look at. 773 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 2: What happened to her at NBC, and NBC was abusive 774 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 2: to Megan Kelly. And I don't think Megan Kelly got 775 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 2: enough support from the rest of us regarding what was 776 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 2: happening there. We took a look at what had happened 777 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:44,319 Speaker 2: in that. 778 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,440 Speaker 3: Debate, and she left Fox, it goes to NBC. We 779 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 3: were like, well, now you deserve what you get. 780 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,400 Speaker 2: I don't think she deserved everything she got over at NBC, 781 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 2: not at all, not by any stretch of the imagination. 782 00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:00,399 Speaker 2: Now she's got the podcast and now she's she's on 783 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 2: I think it's serious satellite and she's building this. She 784 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:07,279 Speaker 2: has hired Hope Hicks. That's right from Trump one, that 785 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 2: Hope Hicks. But she goes on Piers Morgan's show and well, 786 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 2: this is the conversation. 787 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 11: I'm always reluctant to put too much stock any images 788 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,880 Speaker 11: coming out of Gaza that phrase, because they're manipulated and 789 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 11: their masters of propaganda, and they're fine having their own 790 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 11: children starve just as long as they can put them 791 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,000 Speaker 11: on camera and show them off to the world. That's 792 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 11: humus And frankly, it's a lot of Palestinians. 793 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:39,319 Speaker 2: So now that's absolutely correct. The people of Hamas, these despicable, 794 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 2: low life terrorists who should be destroyed, don't care if 795 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 2: their own people die. If Israelis die, they win if 796 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 2: their own people die. 797 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 3: They win. 798 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 2: They are sick, they are dangerous, they are awful for 799 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 2: all of humanity, and the rational person wants doesn't want 800 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:55,640 Speaker 2: them to be like this. But they're going to keep 801 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,360 Speaker 2: being like this, Well, then they have to lose, and we, 802 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,960 Speaker 2: the rational people, have to win. Megan now makes a turn. 803 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 11: So I'm very skeptical of taking those images at face 804 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,520 Speaker 11: value and saying it's Israel's fault. Having said that it's time, 805 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 11: It's time now. Israel, whether it realizes it or not, 806 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:18,680 Speaker 11: has made itself the villain of the world in letting 807 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,360 Speaker 11: this thing go on so long. They have lost support 808 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,840 Speaker 11: amongst their dearest friends, and even the entire Democrat Party 809 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 11: here in the United States has turned against them, and 810 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 11: they're losing Republicans by the day here in America, which 811 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,280 Speaker 11: is their most important ally. So whether the fight continues 812 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,360 Speaker 11: to be just or not is almost irrelevant. As Trump 813 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 11: said when he was running this time last year, not 814 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 11: yet elected, time to wrap it up. And that's how 815 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 11: I feel too. And I've given Israel a long berth 816 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 11: I fully understand as an American who was attacked on 817 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 11: nine to eleven in my country, was that when you 818 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,360 Speaker 11: attack the United States and you kill thousands of our citizens, 819 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,400 Speaker 11: and Israel was in this position on ten to seven. 820 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 11: It's fine to respond, and it doesn't have to be proportionate. 821 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,759 Speaker 11: Whoever said has to be proportionate. It can be overwhelming 822 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 11: force to teach a lesson to any enemy you mess 823 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 11: with us, It's going to be extremely painful, disproportionately painful 824 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,880 Speaker 11: for you. I have no problem with that. But what 825 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 11: Israel's doing now is losing its standing with the rest 826 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:15,400 Speaker 11: of the world. 827 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,280 Speaker 2: It sounds like you do have a problem with it, Megan, 828 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 2: But let's start where we start. What makes you think 829 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,840 Speaker 2: they had a standing before? No, no, no, they didn't 830 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:29,960 Speaker 2: have a standing before. They were hated before. They were 831 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 2: hated before, and they're hated now. You're losing what the 832 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 2: support of Marjorie Taylor Green. Marjorie Taylor Green is wrong. 833 00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 3: Man. 834 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,840 Speaker 2: If Israel only had those space lasers, everything would be okay. 835 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 2: Loss of support of Thomas Massey, losing the support of 836 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:54,279 Speaker 2: whom and for what reason? For what purpose? Because of 837 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 2: the lives of the New York Times discussing starvation. At 838 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 2: least President Trump understands that you can't let hamas you know, 839 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 2: through all this and then say there should be a 840 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 2: Palestinian homeland. You can't let Hamas win like that. You 841 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 2: can't give them that victory. It will tell them to 842 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,720 Speaker 2: commit more acts of terrorism, which is true. Israel already 843 00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,320 Speaker 2: knows they don't have friends and that the friendship of 844 00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 2: the United States is tenuous at best, not because they 845 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 2: don't want it to not because they want it to be, 846 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 2: but because progressives have moved more and more to the 847 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,719 Speaker 2: Rashiitas leave Ilhan o mar Lewis Farakhan camp, like the 848 00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 2: Obama bros. There pod Save America, wrap it up. I 849 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:40,879 Speaker 2: don't think you get to decide that, Megan. I think 850 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,839 Speaker 2: you're making a very very large mistake. I think it 851 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 2: is up to us, the rational people, are free and 852 00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 2: thinking people, to be far more in favor of Israel's Endingnes. 853 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 2: I think you got to understand that what the world 854 00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 2: may be saying, but you got to understand that you 855 00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 2: can't survive of these people survive. You still have your 856 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,919 Speaker 2: people being held hostage. And this because Marjorie Taylor Green 857 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:10,319 Speaker 2: is upset. Megan, that's that is not a rational point 858 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:15,320 Speaker 2: of view. That's not even an argument. That's you're tired 859 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,880 Speaker 2: of seeing something. I think these Railers are more tired, 860 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 2: and I think the Israelis should decide when this is done. 861 00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 2: And in the paraphrase of knocka Megan, they're really clear 862 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,799 Speaker 2: they're not going to bend an They if they have 863 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 2: to go at alone, they will. But I think you're 864 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,880 Speaker 2: making a very big mistake, Meghan, and I think you 865 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:41,560 Speaker 2: have really a bad argument and a weak argument. We'll 866 00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,880 Speaker 2: discuss it more in the future. I'm Tony Katz. 867 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:45,319 Speaker 3: A quick follow up. 868 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 2: The quick follow up is this, uh, this this post. 869 00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:01,440 Speaker 2: Who is Elijah Schaeffer on the Twitter act?

Previously, the company was founded 886 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:09,080 Speaker 2: by Mark and Jerry Silverman. American Eagle has focused on 887 00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 2: supporting Israeli holidays, including giving free adspace to Kabad, which 888 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,600 Speaker 2: is an organization of Jews trying to get. 889 00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 3: People to be more Jewish. I guess the best way 890 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,919 Speaker 3: to put it, so you telling me. 891 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 2: That first it was Sidney Sweeney, the actress engaging in 892 00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:35,040 Speaker 2: Nazi propaganda for saying my family gave me great jeans 893 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 2: when they're talking about jeans like what she's wearing. So 894 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 2: first was Nazi propaganda, and next this is really all 895 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,440 Speaker 2: just some kind of unique cabal put forth by the Jews. 896 00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,480 Speaker 3: And he spelled Jews was seventeen.

You 983 01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 2: don't know why it's happening to you, and of course 984 01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,720 Speaker 2: you never played pro football. But then again, this is 985 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:43,880 Speaker 2: mental illness we could be talking about. So this happens, what, 986 01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,320 Speaker 2: of course, is the most predictable thing to come from this, 987 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:52,800 Speaker 2: Correct Governor of New York, Kathy Hulkel now wants to 988 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:57,040 Speaker 2: move to remove guns. That's what this all means. This 989 01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:02,080 Speaker 2: all means we have to do away with the Kathy 990 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:06,640 Speaker 2: Holk calling for a nationwide ban on assault weapons making 991 01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 2: the argument that stricter federal gun laws are necessary to 992 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:17,200 Speaker 2: prevent future tragedies. Allow me, you already had strict gun laws, 993 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,880 Speaker 2: didn't do anything. Nevada has laws. They knew a guy 994 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:26,320 Speaker 2: was mentally ill. You know what it meant nothing? I 995 01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:30,120 Speaker 2: would argue, and I will argue this anywhere. If more 996 01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 2: people had guns on the thirty third floor, they could 997 01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:39,680 Speaker 2: have stopped the shooting. They could have stopped the shooting. 998 01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,240 Speaker 2: Could they have stopped the first shot, I doubt it, 999 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 2: the second shot, probably not, the third shot, maybe the 1000 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:49,480 Speaker 2: fourth shot. I'm starting to say yes, could they have 1001 01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,160 Speaker 2: saved lives? This is, by the way, the exact argument 1002 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 2: I made regarding Arizona when a Giffords, Gabrielle Gifford's was shot, 1003 01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,560 Speaker 2: that she survived that still, I mean, we're going back 1004 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:08,680 Speaker 2: fifteen years that she survived. That is unbelievable. By the way, 1005 01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,960 Speaker 2: what strength and also what medical prowess we have that 1006 01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,520 Speaker 2: her life was able to be saved. But people want 1007 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:21,760 Speaker 2: to argue, well, if we didn't allow guns, that this 1008 01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,520 Speaker 2: wouldn't have happened. But the guns are already there, and 1009 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,560 Speaker 2: the guns are in the hands of some really, really 1010 01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:34,600 Speaker 2: bad people. And there's a whole conversation about this gunman 1011 01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:41,600 Speaker 2: and whether or not he was getting help getting specific parts. 1012 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,720 Speaker 2: Was he getting help getting parts to be able to 1013 01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,840 Speaker 2: utilize his weapons? And so there are other people being 1014 01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,080 Speaker 2: spoken to, and I'm gonna let more of that investigation 1015 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:52,640 Speaker 2: take place. 1016 01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:55,920 Speaker 3: The problem with the argument if we should get rid 1017 01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 3: of all the guns? Is that you won't. 1018 01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:02,120 Speaker 2: Their argument is we shouldn't allow the guns. The reality 1019 01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,040 Speaker 2: is the guns already exists. Now what, well we should 1020 01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 2: go get them. You're gonna go house to house and 1021 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,080 Speaker 2: get the guns. Best of luck with that. And do 1022 01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:12,840 Speaker 2: you think you're gonna get the guns from the bad guys? 1023 01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,040 Speaker 2: Do you think they're just gonna willingly give up their guns? 1024 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:16,720 Speaker 2: You don't think they're gonna hide things? 1025 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:17,400 Speaker 11: Are? 1026 01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:22,680 Speaker 2: How lost are we as a society that we think 1027 01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,120 Speaker 2: that that's going to happen? Do you know what kind 1028 01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:29,680 Speaker 2: of child you have to be in order to believe that? 1029 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:34,120 Speaker 2: You have to be one heck of a child in 1030 01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:39,800 Speaker 2: order to believe that possible. No, here we are, and 1031 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,320 Speaker 2: the vast majority of gun owners. When I say the 1032 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:46,200 Speaker 2: vast majority, the very obvious vast majority, are doing no harm, 1033 01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,240 Speaker 2: Some people are doing harm. Why would we put everybody 1034 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,880 Speaker 2: else in harm's way? What if everybody knew that everybody 1035 01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:57,240 Speaker 2: was ready to go at a moment's notice. You can 1036 01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:01,880 Speaker 2: tell me from now until the end of time that 1037 01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:08,000 Speaker 2: everybody in Gaza is prepared to die so they can 1038 01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:12,080 Speaker 2: get their virgins and have their reward in heaven. But 1039 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,000 Speaker 2: they all hide in tunnels and they throw rocks from 1040 01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,600 Speaker 2: behind cars. If you remember the early days of the Intifada, 1041 01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,360 Speaker 2: Why does that happen? Why do they hide when they fire? 1042 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:26,520 Speaker 2: Why do they put themselves under schools and hospitals. If, 1043 01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:30,480 Speaker 2: of course, meeting their end means such a great reward, 1044 01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:35,600 Speaker 2: maybe they're not interested in the reward. Maybe that isn't 1045 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:38,880 Speaker 2: what it is that they're looking for. Maybe that's all 1046 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,160 Speaker 2: just a ruse. Maybe it's a giant bunch of bullcraft. 1047 01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:46,360 Speaker 2: And maybe you would find with a lot of people, 1048 01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:49,600 Speaker 2: possibly not all people, that if they thought there was 1049 01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:52,280 Speaker 2: going to be some kind of violence waiting for them, 1050 01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:54,600 Speaker 2: they would think twice before committing. 1051 01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:55,120 Speaker 3: The act of violence. 1052 01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:59,160 Speaker 2: I argue this, of course, with your synagogue, with your church, 1053 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:00,960 Speaker 2: you have to be be armed. When you're at your 1054 01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,120 Speaker 2: synagogua or your church, you have to be you're a 1055 01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,520 Speaker 2: soft target. But let everybody know that this place of 1056 01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:10,200 Speaker 2: worship is armed, and we're gonna finish our prayer service. 1057 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:11,200 Speaker 3: You might not. 1058 01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:16,760 Speaker 2: Don't bother us. Don't bother us. You'll find that you 1059 01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,080 Speaker 2: won't be bothered. Now, a crazy person will do a 1060 01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 2: crazy thing, which of course leads us to the reality 1061 01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:25,880 Speaker 2: that there are indeed crazy people, there are people who 1062 01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:29,840 Speaker 2: are not okay, even more of a reason for us 1063 01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:31,800 Speaker 2: to be able to protect and defend ourselves and the 1064 01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:35,240 Speaker 2: ones we love against those people, whether they're mentally ill, 1065 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,400 Speaker 2: whether they're part of a cult, whether they are part 1066 01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 2: of a radicalized ideology. Radical ideology, that's what decided to 1067 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,400 Speaker 2: try and kill President Trump, that's what tried to kill 1068 01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:48,480 Speaker 2: Congressman Steve's Caalise, radicalized ideology. 1069 01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 3: I think we should be able to protect ourselves from that. 1070 01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:54,760 Speaker 3: Kathy Hulkel utilizes this as an opportunity to say guns 1071 01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:55,320 Speaker 3: are bad. 1072 01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 2: She doesn't have the argument, she doesn't have the intellect, 1073 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:04,520 Speaker 2: actual argument, she doesn't have a rational argument, she has nothing. 1074 01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:10,640 Speaker 3: I'm sitting in midtown right now, she stated. My office 1075 01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:11,040 Speaker 3: is just a. 1076 01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 2: Few blocks away and walking in this morning, and you 1077 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,600 Speaker 2: see the security guards down there, and everyone is just wondering, 1078 01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,160 Speaker 2: you know, is this a one off? Could this happen again? 1079 01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 2: She says? 1080 01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:21,439 Speaker 3: She continued, did the Governor of New York? 1081 01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,680 Speaker 2: That sense of security is shattered when someone comes from 1082 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:28,080 Speaker 2: another state carrying an assault weapon designed only for battlefields, 1083 01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,600 Speaker 2: but using it, intending to use at the commit of mayhem. 1084 01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,000 Speaker 2: And mass murder in our cities. Ar fifteens are not 1085 01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 2: used on the battlefield. That isn't what they are. But 1086 01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,640 Speaker 2: the whole argument is bunk. Oh, this is the fault 1087 01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:43,760 Speaker 2: of other states for allowing people to utilize their Second 1088 01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,440 Speaker 2: Amendment rights. This happens. You know, you guys know, I 1089 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:49,520 Speaker 2: live in Indiana. Illinois likes to blame Indiana all the 1090 01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,360 Speaker 2: time for the gun issues in Chicago, as opposed to 1091 01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:57,680 Speaker 2: the fantastic world they've created in Chicago. Laurie Lightfoot, Brandon Johnson, 1092 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:01,480 Speaker 2: the hatred of police, the apps, coddling of criminals. 1093 01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:03,160 Speaker 4: But somehow it's Indiana's fault. 1094 01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:04,080 Speaker 3: Boo boo. 1095 01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:07,960 Speaker 2: Indiana has its own issues. Indianapolis has been a real problem. 1096 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,200 Speaker 2: It's because we have progressive democratic leadership and we don't 1097 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:13,680 Speaker 2: have anybody willing to say to people stop shooting each 1098 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:16,720 Speaker 2: other in the streets. It isn't the way you solve problems. 1099 01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:18,600 Speaker 2: It isn't the way you settle things. It isn't what 1100 01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:21,320 Speaker 2: men do. It isn't tough. And oh, by the way, 1101 01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,960 Speaker 2: we're gonna prosecute you in such a way that your 1102 01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:26,200 Speaker 2: grandma is gonna go to jail. 1103 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:28,720 Speaker 3: Don't do it. Don't do it. 1104 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 2: But we have a prosecutor by the name of Ryan 1105 01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,160 Speaker 2: Meres who won't prosecute anything. And we have a mayor 1106 01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,360 Speaker 2: by the name of Joe hog Set who is not 1107 01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:41,520 Speaker 2: interested in anything except when he can smile and maybe 1108 01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,520 Speaker 2: get a free dinner. And this is also a guy 1109 01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:48,400 Speaker 2: who had serious sexual impropriety happening in his office. Hired 1110 01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,160 Speaker 2: a guy named Thomas carl Cook, his deputy chief of 1111 01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,840 Speaker 2: staff to run his campaign for a third term, who 1112 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,840 Speaker 2: was involved in inappropriate relations with women in the office, 1113 01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:00,560 Speaker 2: and investigation wasn't really done, and then a second instigation 1114 01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:03,200 Speaker 2: kind of glossed over what happened to these women and 1115 01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:04,040 Speaker 2: what these women. 1116 01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,200 Speaker 3: Said, Ah, it has been scandalous. 1117 01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:09,880 Speaker 2: That's right in a Midwest city. But just like all 1118 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:14,240 Speaker 2: these capital cities, blue cities. And what do the Democrats say, Oh, 1119 01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,479 Speaker 2: those Republicans, they never once to look at the issue. 1120 01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:22,120 Speaker 2: The issue here is about culture, about mental illness, and 1121 01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,519 Speaker 2: about whether or not we should be people who protect ourselves. 1122 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,080 Speaker 2: And what does the left say, all those terrible guns. 1123 01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:30,439 Speaker 2: That's why they're on serious people. They don't deserve to 1124 01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:34,599 Speaker 2: win elections. They're not good enough because they won't address 1125 01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:37,760 Speaker 2: the issue the way it is. They address only their 1126 01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 2: radical ideology, and their radical ideology leaves you at risk 1127 01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,400 Speaker 2: every time. Keep it here, it's Tony Katz today. 1128 01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,800 Speaker 12: And people that don't like the president and don't want 1129 01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:51,479 Speaker 12: things to work, and you know, like I'll consenter, and 1130 01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:53,640 Speaker 12: Elizabeth Warre will come on and say, inflation's out of 1131 01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:57,519 Speaker 12: control and the economy is getting killed by what's happening 1132 01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,800 Speaker 12: by these tariffs, this three percent with the market at 1133 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:05,360 Speaker 12: new highs, and really we haven't seen inflation go up 1134 01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:07,559 Speaker 12: to practicee for maybe it will this week, maybe we'll 1135 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,760 Speaker 12: see it. But none of these things, none of these 1136 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:13,240 Speaker 12: horrible things have happened, but they still talk like it's happening. 1137 01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:14,160 Speaker 4: It's amazing. 1138 01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:17,559 Speaker 6: Well, the important there's an important lesson there. Don't pick 1139 01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:20,479 Speaker 6: a congressman to be your money manager. At That's what 1140 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,400 Speaker 6: I would say. But in the end, Congress has their 1141 01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:27,720 Speaker 6: own reasons to point out certain things. And the Democrats, 1142 01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:29,880 Speaker 6: of course, as you pointed out, really don't want to 1143 01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,440 Speaker 6: see the current administration have some success. 1144 01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,320 Speaker 4: But there's no doubt that this is some success. 1145 01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:39,240 Speaker 6: We're seeing more horse power, we're seeing better equities. Inflation, 1146 01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:43,080 Speaker 6: Inflation really hasn't changed much in the last years. 1147 01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:47,840 Speaker 2: Now you can argue that but the inflation has ticked 1148 01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,479 Speaker 2: up a little, but not to where it was. That 1149 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,840 Speaker 2: much is true and compared to where we thought it 1150 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:58,080 Speaker 2: would go with tariffs, agreed CNBC, Rick Santelly, nowhere near 1151 01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:00,559 Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good. 1152 01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:04,479 Speaker 3: To be with you. But GDP at three percent, man, 1153 01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,360 Speaker 3: oh man, oh. 1154 01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:13,960 Speaker 2: Man, that's kind of incredible. Tariffs are here. Everything would 1155 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:20,320 Speaker 2: include tariff costing three percent, way bigger than I ever imagined, 1156 01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:26,840 Speaker 2: way bigger. I would only disagree with CNBC in that 1157 01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:29,360 Speaker 2: I want this all to work. 1158 01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:31,439 Speaker 4: I want it all to work. 1159 01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 2: But there are still numbers that I look at to 1160 01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:36,240 Speaker 2: bother the daylights out of me, that don't seem to 1161 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:40,760 Speaker 2: jib that don't seem to make sense. They don't specifically, 1162 01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,280 Speaker 2: when we take a look at some of those inflation numbers, 1163 01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:48,360 Speaker 2: when we take a look at the numbers on auto 1164 01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:51,920 Speaker 2: loans and on credit card payments, and when you dig 1165 01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:55,160 Speaker 2: into the numbers here specifically on the concepts of manufacturing, 1166 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,200 Speaker 2: what are we actually sending out, what are we exporting, 1167 01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:01,280 Speaker 2: are people buying what it is that we're selling, and 1168 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,400 Speaker 2: if not to any of the deals that have come 1169 01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:08,360 Speaker 2: through with the UK. Not yeah, the UK and the 1170 01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,160 Speaker 2: European Union. I think we have a deal with Japan. 1171 01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:12,040 Speaker 3: Now does it matter? 1172 01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:18,120 Speaker 2: Does it matter if they're not buying? These are the questions. 1173 01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:24,120 Speaker 2: So the three percent number is nuts. I still have questions. 1174 01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:28,240 Speaker 2: Happy to be proven wrong, but there are still some 1175 01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,799 Speaker 2: indicators worthy of discussing. Doctor Mattwell, economists at the University 1176 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:35,320 Speaker 2: of Indianapolis. If the avatar a conversation, stick around, because 1177 01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,360 Speaker 2: we are going to dig in. 1178 01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:38,280 Speaker 3: Keep it here. 1179 01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:54,240 Speaker 1: It's Tony Kats Today, Live from the Heartland and the 1180 01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:58,559 Speaker 1: Crossroads of America. It's Tony Katz today. 1181 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:06,120 Speaker 2: The third suspect has been arrested in this attack in Cincinnati. 1182 01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:08,880 Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Kats Today, Good to be with you. 1183 01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,720 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get in deep with doctor Matt Will, economists 1184 01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:15,160 Speaker 2: at the University of Indianapolis. We spoke before anything happened 1185 01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,519 Speaker 2: with the federal reserve rates, whether or not things were 1186 01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:22,040 Speaker 2: lowered by Jerome Powell. But after we see that GDP 1187 01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:25,599 Speaker 2: was at three percent, which is a it's an incredible number, 1188 01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,760 Speaker 2: and so we break it down, gets deep. You're not 1189 01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,200 Speaker 2: gonna want to miss any part of that. But you 1190 01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:35,439 Speaker 2: now have another arrest with this assault on two people, 1191 01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:38,879 Speaker 2: a white man and a white woman. Woman was knocked unconscious, 1192 01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:42,000 Speaker 2: the man was savagely beaten, kicked in the face repeatedly. 1193 01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:44,320 Speaker 3: The mob attacking him was black. 1194 01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:47,000 Speaker 2: Now, the people who don't want to make this Rachel, 1195 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:48,720 Speaker 2: you're more than welcome to I never want to make 1196 01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:50,479 Speaker 2: it Rachel. But since if it was the other way, 1197 01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:53,000 Speaker 2: it's only Rachel. And everybody's working so hard not to 1198 01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:54,760 Speaker 2: make this Rachel, as if somehow. 1199 01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:56,400 Speaker 3: We can't see what's happening. I think that's weird. 1200 01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,240 Speaker 4: But there is context, a story. 1201 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,600 Speaker 2: This was the point of the police chief, although she 1202 01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:05,240 Speaker 2: made it outrageously poorly, that there was I guess a 1203 01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:08,120 Speaker 2: verbal back and forth between this guy, maybe this woman, 1204 01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,400 Speaker 2: and some of these other guys who are black. 1205 01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:14,639 Speaker 3: The person who got beat was white. 1206 01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:19,080 Speaker 2: That led to getting physical and this white guy I 1207 01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:21,080 Speaker 2: think hit. I don't know if he slapped or punched 1208 01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,280 Speaker 2: one of the other guys. Right, this all happened. Now, 1209 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:28,320 Speaker 2: what led up to that hit and that initial thing? 1210 01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:31,840 Speaker 2: That's a great question. Was somebody bothered at him? Nowhere 1211 01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:34,240 Speaker 2: would there was something brewing for a while as things 1212 01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:35,400 Speaker 2: were walking with. 1213 01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,160 Speaker 3: What caused all that to happen. 1214 01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:39,880 Speaker 2: I don't have any problem with that being investigated at all, 1215 01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:44,559 Speaker 2: and nothing is stopping the Cincinnati police from investigating it. 1216 01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:49,320 Speaker 2: Absolutely nothing. The story here is that people want to say, well, 1217 01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:52,559 Speaker 2: you see, he started it. He started to having nine 1218 01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:54,599 Speaker 2: guys punching at him and getting kicked in the face 1219 01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:58,360 Speaker 2: four time and four times in the woman being knocked unconscious. 1220 01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:02,960 Speaker 2: Now that's the That's not what happened. However it started. 1221 01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:07,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. What you see clearly is about an 1222 01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:11,160 Speaker 2: attack and clearly is a problem. And you're seeing Cincinnati 1223 01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:13,680 Speaker 2: businesses now speaking about this and rightfully so. 1224 01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,120 Speaker 3: You know how many businesses in cities. 1225 01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:18,240 Speaker 2: Are just absolute cowards and they won't speak oud about 1226 01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,320 Speaker 2: what's going on, and they won't address what's happening with 1227 01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:22,479 Speaker 2: their city council or their mayor or everything. Got so 1228 01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,640 Speaker 2: many cowards out there. Cincinnati businesses are like, no, no, no, 1229 01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:27,960 Speaker 2: we're not putting up with this. We have lives to 1230 01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:31,759 Speaker 2: lead and we don't want this. Good on them, very 1231 01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:35,360 Speaker 2: good on them. What's going on with the economy. Our 1232 01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,240 Speaker 2: rate's going to go down and if tariffs have really 1233 01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:42,200 Speaker 2: had no effect. Doctor Matt Will, Economist, University of Indianapolis, 1234 01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:42,760 Speaker 2: is up next. 1235 01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:47,120 Speaker 3: Keep it here. This is Tony kats today GDP three percent. 1236 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:53,400 Speaker 2: Oh dang, that's a that's a nicely moving economy right there. 1237 01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:57,800 Speaker 2: That's things happening, that's money getting spent. That should mean 1238 01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:02,120 Speaker 2: creation three percent for an like ours with the level 1239 01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:04,880 Speaker 2: of output that we have. Three percent is a nice, 1240 01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:09,880 Speaker 2: nice number. But we got to three percent with tariffs 1241 01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:14,200 Speaker 2: when the expectation from the economists was two point three percent. 1242 01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:19,280 Speaker 2: We're beating the expectations. Yet I could show you other 1243 01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:21,760 Speaker 2: spots of this economy that don't seem to drive up 1244 01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:24,840 Speaker 2: to that. When I tell you that I spend the 1245 01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:28,200 Speaker 2: time trying to understand, I spend the time digging in 1246 01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:30,000 Speaker 2: nothing makes sense. 1247 01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:31,719 Speaker 3: Trump is a genius. 1248 01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:34,800 Speaker 2: Well that could very well be it, or maybe some 1249 01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,720 Speaker 2: things haven't yet happened. That will then give us a 1250 01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:40,960 Speaker 2: more honest estimate of what's happening. But how do you 1251 01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,840 Speaker 2: argue with a three percent GDP? I mean, how do 1252 01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:47,040 Speaker 2: you do this? Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good to 1253 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,640 Speaker 2: be with you. Doctor Matt Will joins me, economist at 1254 01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:52,320 Speaker 2: the University of Indianapolis. I know we just spoke the 1255 01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:56,240 Speaker 2: other day about some of the things that are going on, 1256 01:15:56,280 --> 01:16:02,960 Speaker 2: specifically the trade deal with the European Union, which has in. 1257 01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,160 Speaker 3: It some things that make you say fantastic. 1258 01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,240 Speaker 2: But if we're talking about the buying of energy from 1259 01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:09,519 Speaker 2: the United States, where else they can buy energy from 1260 01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:13,000 Speaker 2: when they clearly can't buy energy from the Russians. Even 1261 01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,200 Speaker 2: India is now getting a hit from the United States. 1262 01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:17,960 Speaker 2: I'm buying oil from the Russians. We'll get into it. 1263 01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:21,960 Speaker 2: But GDP at three percent, the estimate from the the 1264 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,920 Speaker 2: Economist was two point three percent. 1265 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:26,599 Speaker 3: Break down the numbers. What is it that you see? 1266 01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:29,840 Speaker 4: Well, let me serve first of all, start by saying 1267 01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:33,840 Speaker 4: not all GDPs are created equal sot. 1268 01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:34,880 Speaker 3: A GDP of animal farm. 1269 01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:39,200 Speaker 4: I'll talk a GDP of Trump versus GDP of Biden, 1270 01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:42,760 Speaker 4: and let me explain what I mean by that. You know, yes, 1271 01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:45,639 Speaker 4: it's a three percent increase, which is better than expected. 1272 01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:48,560 Speaker 4: So that's good news. But someone in the Biden administration 1273 01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:51,599 Speaker 4: will say, well, we had two quarters of positive three percent, 1274 01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:54,760 Speaker 4: which is true, but their three percent was driven by 1275 01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:58,479 Speaker 4: government spending. That is not the same as GDP driven 1276 01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:04,240 Speaker 4: by consumer spending and private companies and shrinking government. We 1277 01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:08,360 Speaker 4: got a three percent GDP growth and the government shrink. 1278 01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:13,600 Speaker 4: Biden's GDP was driven entirely by government. Talk to me 1279 01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:14,560 Speaker 4: about the shrink. 1280 01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:16,880 Speaker 2: Let's get into I mean, I can't believe I'm going 1281 01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:18,040 Speaker 2: to talk to you about shrinkage. 1282 01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,439 Speaker 3: We're going full George here, But. 1283 01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,559 Speaker 2: Talk to me about the shrink right, So this is 1284 01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 2: really about Oh my gosh, doge worked. I mean, that 1285 01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:27,800 Speaker 2: is I think one way to look at this. But 1286 01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:31,080 Speaker 2: give me some specifics. Dig in if you can. What 1287 01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:36,320 Speaker 2: is it that shrink that is truly attributable to the 1288 01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:37,240 Speaker 2: Trump White House? 1289 01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:40,280 Speaker 4: Okay, The GDP is a formula. We all learned it 1290 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:43,799 Speaker 4: back in high school. You know, consumer spending plus government 1291 01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:47,840 Speaker 4: spending plus investment plus net imports exports. So government is 1292 01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:51,800 Speaker 4: a major part of the GDP formula. Under the Biden administration, 1293 01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:55,920 Speaker 4: there was massive amounts of government spending. So we all 1294 01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,800 Speaker 4: know about the deficits that were created under Biden that 1295 01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:02,559 Speaker 4: resulted in the inflation we're still dealing with. So they 1296 01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:05,759 Speaker 4: increased the GDP and they bragged about it, but Wall Street, 1297 01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:09,439 Speaker 4: Main Street hated it because it wasn't driven by a 1298 01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:12,960 Speaker 4: growing private economy. We've spoken before on the show about 1299 01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:16,400 Speaker 4: the shrinking manufacturing base in the United States. That it 1300 01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:20,720 Speaker 4: was happening for three years under Biden. That's not what's 1301 01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:24,679 Speaker 4: happening now under Trump. The government has shrunk. The portion 1302 01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:28,800 Speaker 4: of the GDP attributable to government is actually negative. So 1303 01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,400 Speaker 4: how do you get three percent if the g part 1304 01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:35,679 Speaker 4: is negative because the consumer spart, because the investment part, 1305 01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:39,040 Speaker 4: because of the net import exports. All the parts that 1306 01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,160 Speaker 4: you want to grow are growing and the part you 1307 01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,320 Speaker 4: want to shrink is shrinking. So this is a good 1308 01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:47,240 Speaker 4: three percent, where under Biden it was a bad three percent. 1309 01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:51,360 Speaker 2: Talking to doctor Matt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis, 1310 01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,280 Speaker 2: Now let's talk about manufacturing. As we have noted on 1311 01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:59,879 Speaker 2: this show, manufacturing has been down for the past four months. 1312 01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:03,040 Speaker 2: It has been one of your alarms. It has been 1313 01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:05,720 Speaker 2: something that you have been focused on, concentrating on, and 1314 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:09,400 Speaker 2: concerned with. Did this GDP report just make all that disappear? 1315 01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:11,240 Speaker 3: No, not at all. 1316 01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,720 Speaker 4: That concern is very real, and I think that the 1317 01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,000 Speaker 4: biggest information for the week is not going to be 1318 01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:21,439 Speaker 4: this report, although this was a huge surprise. Friday Friday, 1319 01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:25,120 Speaker 4: when the ISM, the Institute for Supply Management, comes out 1320 01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,000 Speaker 4: with their Purchasing Manager's Index. That's the thing that says, 1321 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:33,680 Speaker 4: is manufacturing shrinking or growing? It shrunk last month for 1322 01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:36,439 Speaker 4: the last two months. What will that look like? 1323 01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:36,639 Speaker 3: Now? 1324 01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:38,720 Speaker 4: I guess probably this next one may not be the 1325 01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,960 Speaker 4: best one to look at because we still have the 1326 01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,080 Speaker 4: tariff impact. But I'm telling you I predict, and I 1327 01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 4: don't make many predictions, that when the tariff doest settles, 1328 01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:52,040 Speaker 4: and it is settling, I believe that the manufacturing will 1329 01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:55,639 Speaker 4: grow because what we saw also in this GDP report, 1330 01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:59,320 Speaker 4: here's at a little nerdy tidbit. The United States consumer 1331 01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:05,280 Speaker 4: significant only increase their purchase of domestic goods versus imported goods. Now, 1332 01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:07,519 Speaker 4: I'm not saying that's good or bad. I like buying 1333 01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:10,200 Speaker 4: imported goods. I want to buy the highest quality, cheapest 1334 01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:13,360 Speaker 4: good I can get. That's me and I strongly believe that. 1335 01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:18,080 Speaker 4: But the data says that US citizens bought more domestic 1336 01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:18,919 Speaker 4: made products. 1337 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,320 Speaker 3: So that to hold you right there, write down a 1338 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:22,719 Speaker 3: note so you don't lose your spot. 1339 01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:28,120 Speaker 2: You're saying that the American consumer recognize the price shifts 1340 01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:31,920 Speaker 2: because of tariffs and made spending habit shifts. That that 1341 01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:35,439 Speaker 2: wasn't a debate that actually happened. 1342 01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:38,719 Speaker 4: Yes, that's what we see in this report. We see 1343 01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:44,880 Speaker 4: more consumer spending from domestic sources versus imported sources. That 1344 01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:48,479 Speaker 4: is in this report, and that was a goal of Trump. 1345 01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:51,519 Speaker 4: Trump wanted us to buy domestic. Now I've said it, 1346 01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:54,280 Speaker 4: and I'll continue to say. We can't buy everything domestic. 1347 01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:56,920 Speaker 4: About eighty to ninety percent of everything in the world 1348 01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:00,000 Speaker 4: is on a container ship. So we would go back 1349 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,519 Speaker 4: to the Stone Age if we didn't buy imports. But 1350 01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:07,200 Speaker 4: the shift, the shift grew the domestic economy GDP grew 1351 01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:10,040 Speaker 4: because we're buying more domestic. By the way, is that 1352 01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:14,639 Speaker 4: a surprise Imports cost war. If imports cost war, you're 1353 01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,240 Speaker 4: gonna buy less of them. That's exactly what happened here. 1354 01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:20,040 Speaker 2: What this does tie into it, I don't mean to 1355 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,040 Speaker 2: kind of meander to get back to me in subjects 1356 01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:25,640 Speaker 2: talking to doctor Matt Will, economists at the University of Indianapolis. 1357 01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:32,120 Speaker 2: This gets into the idea that tariff costs are being 1358 01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:36,320 Speaker 2: absorbed and not being passed along to the consumer. Right, 1359 01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:38,519 Speaker 2: We've been hearing you at this with Toyota and with others. 1360 01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:42,759 Speaker 2: They're absorbing the tariff costs. This report says the tariff 1361 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,720 Speaker 2: cost has not necessarily been absorbed by the company by 1362 01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:50,240 Speaker 2: the manufacturer. It is being passed along when people are 1363 01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:53,320 Speaker 2: seeing it and they're making a shift in their choices, 1364 01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:55,280 Speaker 2: which would make one think. 1365 01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:57,800 Speaker 4: That, you know, to how you brought this subject up. 1366 01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:03,080 Speaker 2: The tariff dust settling means people have made their decisions 1367 01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,600 Speaker 2: and everybody can go now from this new level of 1368 01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:09,280 Speaker 2: certitude that seems to be where this data tells us 1369 01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:10,120 Speaker 2: things are going. 1370 01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:13,799 Speaker 4: No, no, let me say, it's not all or nothing. 1371 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:19,200 Speaker 4: There's a mixture. So they have absorbed most of the costs. 1372 01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,080 Speaker 4: I mean we saw it in Toyota, We saw it 1373 01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:25,160 Speaker 4: in Nissan's announcement today, a significant drop. We saw you know, 1374 01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:29,360 Speaker 4: General Motors announce that significant drop. So no, we've seen 1375 01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:35,120 Speaker 4: a huge absorbing. I mean Whirlpool. Whirlpool a massive loss 1376 01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:38,559 Speaker 4: reported yesterday. I mean, it's it's unfathomable. They cut their dividend. 1377 01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:42,799 Speaker 4: Never happens. So it is true that companies have absorbed 1378 01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:45,320 Speaker 4: the losses, but some of them have been passed along, 1379 01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:47,360 Speaker 4: some of the terrafts have been passed along. I mean, 1380 01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:50,040 Speaker 4: just look at the Amazon report that came out a 1381 01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:52,400 Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago from the Wall Street Journal. I 1382 01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,240 Speaker 4: mean they had prices increasing across the board, one hundred 1383 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,960 Speaker 4: and thirty six percent and fifteen percent, thirty four percent. 1384 01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,080 Speaker 4: I'm looking at the list right now. So no, there 1385 01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:04,560 Speaker 4: have been some cost that we have absorbed as consumers. 1386 01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:09,000 Speaker 4: Most of them have been absorbed by businesses. So when you, 1387 01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:13,240 Speaker 4: when you as a consumer, have an increase in your costs, 1388 01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:16,559 Speaker 4: you will switch your behavior. And they did. They switched 1389 01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:20,519 Speaker 4: their behavior to find more domestic products. And Procter and 1390 01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:23,160 Speaker 4: Gamble has even said that, but they also issued a 1391 01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:26,920 Speaker 4: warning just this week on what looks not too good 1392 01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:28,840 Speaker 4: for the future of consumer spending. 1393 01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:32,240 Speaker 2: Talking to doctor Matt Will, economists at the University of Indianapolis. 1394 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,559 Speaker 2: And this is where it gets all like you're saying 1395 01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:37,519 Speaker 2: two things at once. You're saying it's good, but it's not. 1396 01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:39,400 Speaker 3: It's bad, but it's not. 1397 01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:42,120 Speaker 2: Stick with the first part here before we get into 1398 01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:43,400 Speaker 2: the Procter and Gamble warning. 1399 01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:46,799 Speaker 3: You have people who have made these shifts. 1400 01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:52,280 Speaker 2: You have these companies that understand that the tariffs are here, 1401 01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:56,520 Speaker 2: and they understand that it's going to create new prices consumers, 1402 01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:59,920 Speaker 2: as we said, making their decisions based on it. 1403 01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:02,240 Speaker 3: But you you also. 1404 01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:09,000 Speaker 2: Say that we're the manufacturing numbers which have been down, 1405 01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:13,960 Speaker 2: aren't necessarily a serious problem. If I understood you, right, 1406 01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:16,760 Speaker 2: that's what you were you were discussing there on the 1407 01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:20,280 Speaker 2: manufacturing numbers, because when we take a look at inventories 1408 01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:23,920 Speaker 2: and investment, in quarter one, inventories were up. 1409 01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:25,680 Speaker 3: In quarter two, inventories. 1410 01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:28,720 Speaker 2: Were down, and as you note, not only inventories, but 1411 01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:29,800 Speaker 2: investment is. 1412 01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:31,639 Speaker 3: Down in the US. 1413 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,839 Speaker 2: That would tell me that tariffs are having a negative 1414 01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:36,960 Speaker 2: effect on American business. 1415 01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:41,120 Speaker 4: Yes, that is correct, and that's what I observed. But 1416 01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:44,000 Speaker 4: then when I looked at the numbers, this shocked me. 1417 01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:47,440 Speaker 4: This was very fascinating to me. The decrease in investment 1418 01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:53,320 Speaker 4: was one hundred percent, a decrease in inventory investment. Because 1419 01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,600 Speaker 4: you can invest in inventory or you can invest in 1420 01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:59,720 Speaker 4: building a machine, they're in the same number. So the 1421 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:03,160 Speaker 4: decrease that we saw in investments was one hundred and 1422 01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:06,800 Speaker 4: eighty nine billion. The decrease in inventories was one hundred 1423 01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:10,479 Speaker 4: and ninety billion, So one hundred percent of the drop 1424 01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:13,719 Speaker 4: in investments was due to inventory, which we talked about 1425 01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:17,920 Speaker 4: on your show. It was front running companies bought inventory 1426 01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:21,600 Speaker 4: in anticipation of the tariffs in Q one, So investments 1427 01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:23,799 Speaker 4: were through the roof one hundred and fifty five billion 1428 01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:28,439 Speaker 4: up this quarter, they're down one hundred and eighty nine billion. 1429 01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,760 Speaker 4: Why because they've already bought their inventory from overseas in 1430 01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:32,439 Speaker 4: the first quarter. 1431 01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:34,439 Speaker 2: So how does that play in the crystal ball world? 1432 01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:37,440 Speaker 2: What does that mean for quarter three? That means fantastic, 1433 01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:40,920 Speaker 2: This means really good. Think of the remember the bounce 1434 01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,439 Speaker 2: back during COVID. You know, we forced everyone into a 1435 01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:45,720 Speaker 2: recession and to stay home, and then we let them 1436 01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:46,960 Speaker 2: loose and things came back. 1437 01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:50,800 Speaker 4: Same thing. We front loaded our purchasing of inventory in 1438 01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:54,000 Speaker 4: Q one. In Q two we didn't buy any inventory. 1439 01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:58,080 Speaker 4: So Q three should be back to normal. And here's 1440 01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:00,200 Speaker 4: what's good about the normal. When I look at to 1441 01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:06,360 Speaker 4: the data, other than this anomaly of inventory switching, it's good. 1442 01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:10,839 Speaker 4: Investments were up. Investments are positive, and it's not government investing, 1443 01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:15,200 Speaker 4: it's private investing. I really see positive news in the 1444 01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:17,439 Speaker 4: third quarter. Now, I gotta tell you, I saw Kevin 1445 01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:21,439 Speaker 4: Hassett in an interview just a few moments ago. He 1446 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:25,799 Speaker 4: actually made a prediction which I'm shocked. He said, GDP 1447 01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:29,280 Speaker 4: at least four percent growth next quarter. That's a pretty 1448 01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:31,920 Speaker 4: bold statement, but of course I think we're used to 1449 01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:33,440 Speaker 4: bold statements. From this administration. 1450 01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:37,640 Speaker 2: Talking to doctor Matt Well, economists at the University of Indianapolis. 1451 01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:41,240 Speaker 2: Kevin Howsett leads the White House Council of Economic Advisors, 1452 01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:45,960 Speaker 2: and four percent GDP in a nation like ours is 1453 01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:49,519 Speaker 2: beyond growth. Four percent might be too dang big. And 1454 01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:51,519 Speaker 2: if you get to which don't get me wrong, I'm 1455 01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:53,559 Speaker 2: not opposed to the growth. I'm just playing in economic 1456 01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,000 Speaker 2: reality here. This all is going to play into a 1457 01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:59,439 Speaker 2: Derme Powell conversation, which as we're talking, he hasn't made 1458 01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:02,439 Speaker 2: the decision yet on rates. I'm betting on he's holding firm. 1459 01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,000 Speaker 2: I'm betting on no cuts whatsoever. I'll listen to what 1460 01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:07,639 Speaker 2: your bet is. But if you get four percent, there's 1461 01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:09,280 Speaker 2: going to be a worry that the economy is going 1462 01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:12,280 Speaker 2: too fast. Inflation might return, and this is going to 1463 01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:16,280 Speaker 2: keep the rates higher, which Trump doesn't want. What is 1464 01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:19,080 Speaker 2: your take on a four percent GDP and where inflation is. 1465 01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:22,280 Speaker 4: If we have a four percent GDP growth that's not 1466 01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:27,120 Speaker 4: government based, it's private company based, then we need more 1467 01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:29,880 Speaker 4: cash in the economy. We need more cash because we 1468 01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:32,920 Speaker 4: have more stuff. So that means he needs to cut rates. 1469 01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:36,000 Speaker 4: He has to cut rates. I know you know, I've 1470 01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:39,679 Speaker 4: been an anti rate cutting guy, but now the data says, 1471 01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,000 Speaker 4: and I said, this is a last few times we spoke, 1472 01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:44,360 Speaker 4: data is indicating rate cuts. 1473 01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:47,439 Speaker 2: So I'm on the opposite side. Well, I'm not on 1474 01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:49,760 Speaker 2: the opposite side of it, but I see it incorrectly. 1475 01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:52,840 Speaker 2: Is what you're saying that if indeed we get to 1476 01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:55,519 Speaker 2: a level of four percent, if indeed we have the 1477 01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:58,439 Speaker 2: speed in this economy, we have to cut rates to 1478 01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:01,360 Speaker 2: ensure more cash can get into this so the products 1479 01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:04,360 Speaker 2: can be purchased or the investments can be utilized, because 1480 01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:06,880 Speaker 2: if not not cutting the rates is going to keep 1481 01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:07,679 Speaker 2: inflation high. 1482 01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:12,599 Speaker 4: Yes, no, well actually you know what. Okay, ready, are 1483 01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:15,080 Speaker 4: you sitting down? I'm always am I sitting down. I 1484 01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:17,120 Speaker 4: have a very comfy chair. Look at this setup. This 1485 01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:20,440 Speaker 4: is gold deflation. 1486 01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:25,519 Speaker 2: Well, now you have if you have so much growth 1487 01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:29,160 Speaker 2: in the economy, not government growth, because government growth is 1488 01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:33,120 Speaker 2: different than private industry growth. Government growth is another juice 1489 01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:36,320 Speaker 2: to the economy. It just causes the inflation. Private industry 1490 01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:40,080 Speaker 2: growth is legitimate stuff, and if you have more stuff, 1491 01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:44,719 Speaker 2: you need more cash. And so this report says stuff 1492 01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:48,360 Speaker 2: is growing, so we now need more cash. And I 1493 01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:50,360 Speaker 2: think that they need to cut their rates. And I 1494 01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,000 Speaker 2: said this before, I'm going to say it again. They 1495 01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:54,280 Speaker 2: need to cut their balance sheet at the same time. 1496 01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:57,479 Speaker 2: They've got to cut their balance sheet while they're cutting rates. 1497 01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:01,799 Speaker 2: And the perfect indication is that yield curve, the yield 1498 01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:04,679 Speaker 2: curve is telling us to do this. The yield curve, 1499 01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:07,519 Speaker 2: long term rates have been slightly increasing and short term 1500 01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:11,880 Speaker 2: rates are still high. That's an artificial increase. Jerome Powell 1501 01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:14,880 Speaker 2: is artificially keeping short term rates low when all the 1502 01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:19,320 Speaker 2: data now says cut. And I think, this is my opinion, 1503 01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:22,200 Speaker 2: I think it's personal. I think he's no longer looking 1504 01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:23,880 Speaker 2: at the data. I gave him a lot of credit 1505 01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 2: in the last two years, but now I think it's 1506 01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,960 Speaker 2: become personal. And I think we're going to see Fed 1507 01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:34,000 Speaker 2: governors diverge and defect and not agree with his decisions. 1508 01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:37,200 Speaker 2: This is already happen. Oh my god, this is already happening. 1509 01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:41,080 Speaker 2: You already have the rumormill going that federal Reserve governors 1510 01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:43,120 Speaker 2: are going to come out and say this isn't right, 1511 01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:44,560 Speaker 2: this is wrong, and this is going to be the 1512 01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:48,759 Speaker 2: pressure point that might very well lead Jerome Powell to resigning. 1513 01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:51,320 Speaker 4: I think you're one thousand percent right on that part 1514 01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:51,559 Speaker 4: of it. 1515 01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:54,759 Speaker 2: But just to get back to this really quick, because 1516 01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:59,360 Speaker 2: maybe it's important that everybody understands how the economics plays. 1517 01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:03,000 Speaker 2: You're saying that without a rate cut in an advancing, 1518 01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:07,120 Speaker 2: growing economy, I should say we would see deflation. Now, 1519 01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:09,240 Speaker 2: deflation is going to be the lowering of the prices, 1520 01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:11,680 Speaker 2: the increasing a purchase power, So I don't know if 1521 01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:15,320 Speaker 2: everybody is going to be upset by deflation. Is the 1522 01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:19,240 Speaker 2: argument that this should be measured and not allowed to 1523 01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:24,360 Speaker 2: be a part of a wild gesticulation of market forces, 1524 01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:28,080 Speaker 2: that we should have government intervention to lessen that blow, 1525 01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:28,639 Speaker 2: if you will. 1526 01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:31,760 Speaker 4: Okay, well, I don't know what gesticulation means. I'm just 1527 01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:32,879 Speaker 4: a university professor. 1528 01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:33,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, but. 1529 01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:39,920 Speaker 4: No, deflation is actually bad, and we've seen this in Japan, 1530 01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:45,000 Speaker 4: and Japan had a forever depression because of deflation, not inflation, 1531 01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:48,679 Speaker 4: Because what happens in deflation. If you have some money, 1532 01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:51,360 Speaker 4: it's better to put it in your mattress under your 1533 01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:54,040 Speaker 4: bed than to invest it in building a factory. Because 1534 01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:58,680 Speaker 4: in deflation, your dollar gains value over time by just 1535 01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:03,519 Speaker 4: sitting there doing nothing, So you're competing against putting money 1536 01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:07,920 Speaker 4: under your pillow versus building a factory and growing the economy. 1537 01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:11,680 Speaker 4: Deflation is worse than inflation because it's harder to get 1538 01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:14,439 Speaker 4: out of deflation. Japan has not succeeded in. 1539 01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:19,600 Speaker 2: Doing so into a Deflation is a killer of investments. 1540 01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:23,360 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, deflation is a killer of investment. 1541 01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:28,200 Speaker 2: Stay right there, doctor Mattwell, economist at the University of Indianapolis. 1542 01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:31,320 Speaker 3: Keep it here. This is Tony Katz today. 1543 01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:36,840 Speaker 2: So let's pick up where we left off as we 1544 01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:40,640 Speaker 2: were discussing deflation. Tony Katz, Tony Kats today, Good to 1545 01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:43,760 Speaker 2: be with you talking to doctor Matt Wheale, economist at 1546 01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:48,760 Speaker 2: the University of Indianapolis, and how the moment may very 1547 01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:52,160 Speaker 2: well be here to cut rates because the cutting of 1548 01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:54,759 Speaker 2: rates it we're seeing the economy now with a GDP 1549 01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:58,160 Speaker 2: of three percent, which I agree is an unbelievable number 1550 01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:01,080 Speaker 2: for the last quarter, Doctor will Well, it is an 1551 01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:06,519 Speaker 2: absolutely amazing number. And that number, when properly digested, might 1552 01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:09,920 Speaker 2: very well be what President Trump needs to share with 1553 01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:14,000 Speaker 2: the rest of the country economists, others, others on his 1554 01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:17,200 Speaker 2: economic team to say, now we've got the data, now 1555 01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:19,880 Speaker 2: we can cut the rates, and maybe Jerome Powell, Chairman 1556 01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:22,080 Speaker 2: of the Federal Reserve is taking all the attacks on 1557 01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:24,639 Speaker 2: him personally. Of course that walk through the building where 1558 01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:26,960 Speaker 2: they're wearing the hard hats, and he's like, Trump's like, 1559 01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:30,080 Speaker 2: you see he spent three billion here, and Powell's looking 1560 01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:32,519 Speaker 2: at it like it's hieroglyphics. He doesn't know which end 1561 01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:35,040 Speaker 2: is up. He might be taking it personally not want 1562 01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:38,519 Speaker 2: to cut rates. We do have Federal Reserve governors who 1563 01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:41,080 Speaker 2: are going to apply pressure, but for a lot of 1564 01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:43,400 Speaker 2: people like myself who have said, I don't know if 1565 01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:46,240 Speaker 2: we're in a place to cut rates. Yet you're telling 1566 01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:52,160 Speaker 2: us that this data set says, okay, cut Trump wants 1567 01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:55,960 Speaker 2: one two percent to take whatever he can get. What 1568 01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:59,559 Speaker 2: is the number here that you would advise, Jerome Powell? 1569 01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:02,640 Speaker 2: Because we're speaking now before the rate cuts, what's the 1570 01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:04,479 Speaker 2: number you would suggest, Jerome Powell? 1571 01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:04,880 Speaker 3: Cut pie. 1572 01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:08,360 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm sorry, but I refuse to answer your question 1573 01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:10,639 Speaker 4: the way that you asked it. I have to answer 1574 01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:13,599 Speaker 4: it a different way. Okay, Wait, what's wrong with how 1575 01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:16,439 Speaker 4: I asked it? There's nothing wrong with the way you 1576 01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:18,479 Speaker 4: ask asked it, but I'm going to answer it a 1577 01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:22,840 Speaker 4: different way. Sure, I believe that it's a he must 1578 01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:27,960 Speaker 4: announce a combination of rate cut and shedding the balance sheet, 1579 01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:32,040 Speaker 4: getting rid of in the assets that the Federal Reserve owns, 1580 01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:35,280 Speaker 4: because that's how you need to control inflation. He's controlling 1581 01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:39,040 Speaker 4: it improperly, he's controlling it. He's got to reverse all 1582 01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:42,679 Speaker 4: this quantitative easing that occurred. It's massive. It's still over 1583 01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:46,559 Speaker 4: seven trillion dollars on the Fed's balance sheet. So they 1584 01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:49,720 Speaker 4: need to We talked about this in a previous show, dislocation. 1585 01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:54,080 Speaker 4: The Fed has to get their butt out of the markets. 1586 01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:56,719 Speaker 4: They need to step on the sidelines, which means and okay, 1587 01:33:56,920 --> 01:34:00,320 Speaker 4: I'll tell you to answer your question. Now, combination cut 1588 01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:04,760 Speaker 4: rates one percent plus and I would begin selling at 1589 01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:08,080 Speaker 4: least at least ninety billion dollars a month off the 1590 01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:08,760 Speaker 4: Fed balance chie. 1591 01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:09,760 Speaker 3: Now stop break there. 1592 01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:12,320 Speaker 2: When you talk about selling off the balance you're talking 1593 01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:13,120 Speaker 2: about selling debt. 1594 01:34:13,160 --> 01:34:13,519 Speaker 3: Correct. 1595 01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:18,320 Speaker 4: No, No, the the Federal Reserve bonds. Okay, yeah, you 1596 01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:22,080 Speaker 4: could say that, but not government bonds. It's not selling 1597 01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:25,040 Speaker 4: for the federal government. The Federal Reserve Board actually is 1598 01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:28,680 Speaker 4: an investor. They own mortgages. Is a big thing that 1599 01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:31,760 Speaker 4: they bought, so they are an investor. They buy these 1600 01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:34,799 Speaker 4: mortgages that was the quantitative easing that we remember occurred 1601 01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:37,840 Speaker 4: in two thousand and eight and nine. They bought mortgages 1602 01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:41,680 Speaker 4: which printed money and put cash into the economy. They 1603 01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:45,759 Speaker 4: need to now sell those mortgages and take the cash 1604 01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:49,120 Speaker 4: out of the economy to control inflation. That's how they 1605 01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:51,920 Speaker 4: need to control inflation. They needed not be the investor. 1606 01:34:52,400 --> 01:34:55,519 Speaker 4: They're missing up the markets by being an investor. So 1607 01:34:55,800 --> 01:35:00,799 Speaker 4: again my statement, if they sell their investments, which brings 1608 01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:03,879 Speaker 4: cash out of the economy, then they can cut rates, 1609 01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:08,040 Speaker 4: which puts cash back in the economy, and that will 1610 01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:11,960 Speaker 4: fix the yield curve. The yield curve is dislocated, it's 1611 01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:15,479 Speaker 4: messed up, it's dysfunctional, and Jerome pal can fix it. 1612 01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:17,799 Speaker 4: It's an easy fix if he just has the guts 1613 01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:18,280 Speaker 4: to do it. 1614 01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:21,519 Speaker 2: So I think that is a bit confusing, and I 1615 01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:24,120 Speaker 2: want to go back to it, no, in terms of 1616 01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:26,519 Speaker 2: what it is that the FED owns, and how does 1617 01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:31,840 Speaker 2: selling these things get cash out of the system or 1618 01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:32,759 Speaker 2: is it out of the system? 1619 01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:35,040 Speaker 3: Is it in the system? Go back, start from the 1620 01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:37,719 Speaker 3: beginning of what it is they own, why. 1621 01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:39,479 Speaker 2: You think they have to sell it, and what it's 1622 01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:41,080 Speaker 2: actually going to do to the economy. 1623 01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:44,040 Speaker 4: Let me explain what the FED does they print money? 1624 01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:48,240 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not joking. They literally they have printing presses. 1625 01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:51,120 Speaker 4: The Treasury owns the printing presses, but the FED says 1626 01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:53,920 Speaker 4: turn them on. It's a big red building south of 1627 01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:57,839 Speaker 4: the Washington Monument in Washington, DC. They physically have printing presses. 1628 01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:01,400 Speaker 4: And the way they get cash into the economy is 1629 01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:04,280 Speaker 4: many ways, but the one that we're focusing on is 1630 01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:08,280 Speaker 4: they would buy bonds. So say Tony, you own a bond, 1631 01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:11,679 Speaker 4: a mortgage, an investment, they would buy it from you. 1632 01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:14,320 Speaker 4: They would then print the money to give to you. 1633 01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:16,280 Speaker 4: So that's how they would get cash in the economy. 1634 01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:19,520 Speaker 4: They would print cash and give it to you in exchange. 1635 01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:22,519 Speaker 4: So they now own all these investments. They're the largest 1636 01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:25,519 Speaker 4: investor in the country. Well, they need to not be 1637 01:36:25,560 --> 01:36:28,719 Speaker 4: the largest investor. They need to start selling that mortgage 1638 01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:31,960 Speaker 4: back to you, selling a bond, selling any investments they have. 1639 01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:34,200 Speaker 4: They need to sell them and then take the cash 1640 01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:36,519 Speaker 4: back and just throw it in the trash can. That 1641 01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:39,519 Speaker 4: gets cash out of the economy. That reduces inflation. 1642 01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:42,160 Speaker 2: Cash doesn't go in a trash can. What does that 1643 01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:45,400 Speaker 2: actually mean? No, it does, it does, No, it does 1644 01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,920 Speaker 2: they don't. It doesn't go circulating around the economy. They 1645 01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:53,519 Speaker 2: print money literally, print money electronically or physically, and they 1646 01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:54,679 Speaker 2: also destroy money. 1647 01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:57,599 Speaker 4: They do both. They're the only entity in the country 1648 01:36:57,479 --> 01:36:59,439 Speaker 4: that can. That's the problem with digital currency, which we 1649 01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:01,760 Speaker 4: won't get into, is they can print money that we 1650 01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:05,800 Speaker 4: don't want them printing. So this is exactly what they do. 1651 01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:09,559 Speaker 4: They physically are the ones the FED interest rate. That's 1652 01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:11,559 Speaker 4: just another way to get cash in the economy. If 1653 01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:14,760 Speaker 4: you're a bank and I charge you zero percent, and 1654 01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:16,560 Speaker 4: I'm the Federal Reserve Board, you're gonna say, hey, I 1655 01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:18,880 Speaker 4: like to borrow a lot of money from you. Well 1656 01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:20,560 Speaker 4: they charge four and a half percent. Now you're not 1657 01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:23,120 Speaker 4: gonna borrow as much. So guess what, there's not as 1658 01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:26,360 Speaker 4: much cash. So there's many ways they control the cash 1659 01:37:26,439 --> 01:37:30,560 Speaker 4: in the economy, and they need to sell their investments 1660 01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:34,040 Speaker 4: to pull that cash out of the economy and cut 1661 01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:37,639 Speaker 4: rates that will get them on the sidelines. We don't 1662 01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:40,800 Speaker 4: want them competing with you and me and Chase and 1663 01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:43,760 Speaker 4: Bank of America, But how are they competing with me 1664 01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:49,240 Speaker 4: if they own mortgages? Because as an investor, again not homeowner, 1665 01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:51,160 Speaker 4: don't think of yourself as a homeowner, think of yourself 1666 01:37:51,160 --> 01:37:53,599 Speaker 4: as an investor. You could buy a mortgage. You can 1667 01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:56,479 Speaker 4: buy a mortgage backed security. Can you can? You know 1668 01:37:56,520 --> 01:37:59,040 Speaker 4: banks do this is the big The biggest asset that 1669 01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:01,920 Speaker 4: banks have is OANs. They make loans. A big loan 1670 01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:03,000 Speaker 4: they make is mortgages. 1671 01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:05,800 Speaker 3: Yeah you are. 1672 01:38:06,600 --> 01:38:09,639 Speaker 2: I'm going to do this one more time because I'm 1673 01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:11,880 Speaker 2: going to get you to the place that I need 1674 01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:15,280 Speaker 2: to be. You're making the argument that what has to 1675 01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:17,760 Speaker 2: happen is the Fed has to get out of being 1676 01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:20,400 Speaker 2: in competition with me. But I don't understand how them 1677 01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:23,519 Speaker 2: owning mortgages is in competition with me. It's never mind 1678 01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:26,360 Speaker 2: the whole idea of they pull cash out when they 1679 01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:29,200 Speaker 2: go about selling the mortgage. Somebody put cash in to 1680 01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:33,880 Speaker 2: buy the mortgage. So it's not yet clear how that 1681 01:38:33,920 --> 01:38:34,960 Speaker 2: this part of it works. 1682 01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:40,639 Speaker 4: You have investments, you probably have stocks, and you have bonds, right, okay, 1683 01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:44,679 Speaker 4: the federal government, the Federal Reserve Board, they also have bonds. 1684 01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:47,639 Speaker 4: So if you're a bond investor and they're a bond investor, 1685 01:38:47,640 --> 01:38:53,599 Speaker 4: they're competing with you for bonds. And if you tony, 1686 01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:57,000 Speaker 4: you want to buy a bond. A mortgage is a 1687 01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,400 Speaker 4: bond by the way, it's an investment, so you, as 1688 01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:02,400 Speaker 4: an investor, you can go into that market. Well what 1689 01:39:02,479 --> 01:39:06,200 Speaker 4: if again, this is crazy, but suppose there's only one 1690 01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:09,639 Speaker 4: bond in the entire market to buy and you don't 1691 01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:12,800 Speaker 4: buy it, the Federal Reserve Board buys it. Well, then 1692 01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:15,960 Speaker 4: what do you have in your portfolio? Cash? They buy 1693 01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,320 Speaker 4: the bond from you. You're an investor, you're a big 1694 01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:21,720 Speaker 4: shot Wall Street investor. They give you cash. They take 1695 01:39:21,760 --> 01:39:23,280 Speaker 4: the bond out of the market and put it in 1696 01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:26,800 Speaker 4: their pocket. So now there's extra cash floating around. What 1697 01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:28,519 Speaker 4: they need to do is they need to sell that 1698 01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:32,080 Speaker 4: bond back to you and take the cash out of 1699 01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:34,400 Speaker 4: your pocket, put it in their pocket, take it out 1700 01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:36,120 Speaker 4: of the market, so it's not causing inflation. 1701 01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:38,040 Speaker 2: So the cash that I use to buy the bond 1702 01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:41,599 Speaker 2: from the Federal Reserve is going to lower the amount 1703 01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:43,360 Speaker 2: of cash that's out there circulating. 1704 01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:46,720 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I just need a clarity on that one. 1705 01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:51,320 Speaker 2: I ain't shy that we're playing in four hundred level 1706 01:39:51,600 --> 01:39:54,439 Speaker 2: classes here with doctor Matt Will economists at the University 1707 01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:57,320 Speaker 2: of Indianapolis. Did that bother you? Was that like one 1708 01:39:57,360 --> 01:39:59,599 Speaker 2: of your students saying you're not making any sense. Why 1709 01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:00,639 Speaker 2: did I go to this school? 1710 01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:03,679 Speaker 4: Love? I actually love this because I know that I've 1711 01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:05,760 Speaker 4: got to learn to be able to explain something in 1712 01:40:05,800 --> 01:40:08,240 Speaker 4: three or four or five different ways because each person 1713 01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:10,400 Speaker 4: absorbs it differently. That's my job. 1714 01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:13,200 Speaker 2: Now let's go back to the rate cut, the one 1715 01:40:13,280 --> 01:40:17,800 Speaker 2: percent concept of the rate cut. Is there such a 1716 01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:22,480 Speaker 2: thing as cutting too much too fast? Because every conversation, 1717 01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:25,840 Speaker 2: until now I know what Trump wants, every conversation has been. 1718 01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:28,559 Speaker 3: Slowly go and slowly go and slowly go. 1719 01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:31,240 Speaker 2: And I had made the argument that if you saw 1720 01:40:31,280 --> 01:40:34,240 Speaker 2: that Joan Bow was gonna cut a quarter point, that 1721 01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:36,880 Speaker 2: would be worse for him than if he didn't cut 1722 01:40:36,880 --> 01:40:38,559 Speaker 2: at all, because people be like, what do you do 1723 01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:41,479 Speaker 2: with you playing around the edges? But one percent is 1724 01:40:41,479 --> 01:40:44,439 Speaker 2: a very very big number when we're talking about these things. 1725 01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:47,160 Speaker 2: Why do you say one percent and not let's say 1726 01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:47,719 Speaker 2: two percent? 1727 01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:52,439 Speaker 4: Maybe I exaggerated, Maybe I should say half a percent 1728 01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:55,840 Speaker 4: this month and half a percent next month. Because when 1729 01:40:55,880 --> 01:40:57,800 Speaker 4: you combine it with this what we just talked about 1730 01:40:57,800 --> 01:41:01,320 Speaker 4: the buying and selling of bonds, you could cause disruption. 1731 01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:04,320 Speaker 4: I mean, this is what China did just a couple 1732 01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:07,320 Speaker 4: months ago. They threatened to dump eight hundred billion dollars 1733 01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:10,559 Speaker 4: of US treasuries into the market, which has destroyed the 1734 01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:14,000 Speaker 4: bond market and caused rates to go through the roof. 1735 01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:16,840 Speaker 4: So you have to do it gingerly. You don't want 1736 01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:19,720 Speaker 4: to come in and be, you know, fifty percent of 1737 01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:21,559 Speaker 4: the bond market today. Hey, I would like to sell 1738 01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:23,920 Speaker 4: some bonds, and I'm fifty percent of all bonds sold 1739 01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:27,200 Speaker 4: in one day. That's a little disruptive. So you want 1740 01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:29,519 Speaker 4: to do it, you know, so you don't disrupt the markets. 1741 01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:31,719 Speaker 4: And so maybe half of a percent would be better 1742 01:41:31,720 --> 01:41:34,080 Speaker 4: this month, and half a percent next month, and start 1743 01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:36,360 Speaker 4: selling your bonds at a nice gingerly pace. 1744 01:41:36,760 --> 01:41:40,040 Speaker 2: So let's say it's a one percent cut that gets 1745 01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:45,479 Speaker 2: more people investing, more people borrowing money to make capital investments, machinery, this, 1746 01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:48,120 Speaker 2: that and the other, and that is going to help 1747 01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:50,920 Speaker 2: speed along economic growth. 1748 01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:58,280 Speaker 4: Okay, yes, if yes, If the growth that's occurring is 1749 01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:02,439 Speaker 4: private companies nice as you discussed earlier, this can't be 1750 01:42:02,560 --> 01:42:05,840 Speaker 4: government growth that defeats the purpose. Yeah, but that's an 1751 01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:08,000 Speaker 4: important thing to distinguish, because let me give you some 1752 01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:12,240 Speaker 4: more and more nerdy data. Under Biden, the federal government 1753 01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:15,080 Speaker 4: grew in the last four quarters zero percent plus four 1754 01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:19,960 Speaker 4: plus nine plus four. Under Trump, it's shrunk by four 1755 01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:23,240 Speaker 4: point seven and shrunk by three point seven. That is 1756 01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:26,880 Speaker 4: such good news to me a capitalist. I love seeing 1757 01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:31,599 Speaker 4: that the GDP is not government based. So now remember 1758 01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:33,880 Speaker 4: back to this nerdy discussion we had. You can start 1759 01:42:33,880 --> 01:42:37,080 Speaker 4: cutting those short term rates and that will start investing. 1760 01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:40,280 Speaker 4: It will encourage people to invest because, let me, you're 1761 01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:42,760 Speaker 4: an investor. Let's say you're a big shot entrepreneur, which 1762 01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:45,880 Speaker 4: you are with your radio empire here, thank you very much, 1763 01:42:46,160 --> 01:42:48,919 Speaker 4: and you make you know, eight percent on your investment. 1764 01:42:48,960 --> 01:42:51,360 Speaker 4: But you're barr and money at nine. You're not going 1765 01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:53,720 Speaker 4: to make an eight percent investment when you're borrowing money 1766 01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:56,400 Speaker 4: at nine. But if you're barring money at four or three, oh, 1767 01:42:56,479 --> 01:43:00,000 Speaker 4: you'll definitely make that investment. So we need to start 1768 01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:03,240 Speaker 4: cutting short term rates to make it cheaper for someone 1769 01:43:03,320 --> 01:43:07,679 Speaker 4: to borrow. Residential residential construction the big okay, the piece 1770 01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:11,599 Speaker 4: of bad news in this GDP report was construction down 1771 01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:14,639 Speaker 4: ten point three percent, residential down four point six percent. 1772 01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:17,519 Speaker 4: You know what, they live on short term rates. This 1773 01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:20,200 Speaker 4: is Trump's world. When you're a construction guy and you're 1774 01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:22,280 Speaker 4: putting up a building, you're getting a construction loan for 1775 01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:25,479 Speaker 4: twelve to eighteen months. Well, short term rates are high, 1776 01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:28,519 Speaker 4: right now, cut short term rates. You're going to duce construction. 1777 01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:32,040 Speaker 2: Before I let you go, doctor Matt Will, economist, University 1778 01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:36,679 Speaker 2: of Indianapolis. Let me get into Indian and the tariffs. Certainly, 1779 01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:42,160 Speaker 2: the effect of tariffs, it leads one to question whether 1780 01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:46,240 Speaker 2: economists ever understood tariffs and whether or not the absorption 1781 01:43:46,600 --> 01:43:51,120 Speaker 2: of businesses, etc. Have allowed for enough cushion to make 1782 01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:56,559 Speaker 2: the effect negligible to allow other things to occur. But 1783 01:43:56,680 --> 01:44:00,880 Speaker 2: the what we're seeing now is that President Trump is 1784 01:44:00,920 --> 01:44:03,719 Speaker 2: saying to India, you get a twenty five percent tariff 1785 01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:07,200 Speaker 2: and a penalty because you have traded with Russia specifically 1786 01:44:07,200 --> 01:44:11,320 Speaker 2: buying oil, buying energy, and we're here to strangle Russia 1787 01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:15,000 Speaker 2: on the energy side. A lah Ronald Reagan and Garbachev 1788 01:44:15,240 --> 01:44:18,880 Speaker 2: back to ending the colds war twenty five percent tariff 1789 01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:21,479 Speaker 2: on India. When you said on this show just to 1790 01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:25,160 Speaker 2: day ago that India is eating China's lunch in specific 1791 01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:30,000 Speaker 2: iPhones and other technology that Americans are buying, this doesn't 1792 01:44:30,040 --> 01:44:31,719 Speaker 2: have an effect on the American consumer. 1793 01:44:33,200 --> 01:44:34,880 Speaker 4: It does. But let me go, I take a little 1794 01:44:34,880 --> 01:44:38,000 Speaker 4: exception to the premise when you started saying the impact 1795 01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:41,080 Speaker 4: has been negligible for the tariffs. No, I can show 1796 01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:43,160 Speaker 4: you a list of companies that have lost money, that 1797 01:44:43,200 --> 01:44:46,720 Speaker 4: have cut dividends, that are laying people off. There's a 1798 01:44:46,800 --> 01:44:49,160 Speaker 4: huge impact that we've seen in the wholesale that we 1799 01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:51,400 Speaker 4: will see in the retail. So I think there is 1800 01:44:51,439 --> 01:44:57,880 Speaker 4: an impact from the terriffs. Concerning India, you know, that's 1801 01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:03,200 Speaker 4: that's Trump's next nemesis, which I don't understand. Okay, I 1802 01:45:03,280 --> 01:45:05,760 Speaker 4: understand the political angle, and I will defer to you 1803 01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:10,160 Speaker 4: on that that's not my area whatsoever. But from the 1804 01:45:10,200 --> 01:45:13,599 Speaker 4: economic side, it makes me nervous because they've done what 1805 01:45:13,640 --> 01:45:17,840 Speaker 4: we've asked. They've shifted production away from China. India is 1806 01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:20,880 Speaker 4: becoming the new China for US. So why do I 1807 01:45:20,880 --> 01:45:22,760 Speaker 4: want to start a war with them when they've done 1808 01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:26,160 Speaker 4: exactly what we asked. Apple has done exactly what we 1809 01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:27,800 Speaker 4: asked as far as manufacturing. 1810 01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:29,840 Speaker 2: I can answer the question by saying, it's not the 1811 01:45:29,880 --> 01:45:32,960 Speaker 2: objectives to start the war, it's to put it out 1812 01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:35,400 Speaker 2: there to allow for the deal to be hastened happened 1813 01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:37,720 Speaker 2: a little bit faster, which is all about putting the 1814 01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:39,000 Speaker 2: pressure on China. 1815 01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:40,759 Speaker 3: I stick with my original thesis. 1816 01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:44,200 Speaker 2: It's Japan, it's Vietnam, it's South Korea, it's India. Never 1817 01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:47,280 Speaker 2: mind the EU deal, which is certainly interesting. But once 1818 01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:50,519 Speaker 2: those four deals are made, the pressure point on China 1819 01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:54,960 Speaker 2: is now full on and full strength against these major competitors. 1820 01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:57,480 Speaker 2: And I think that's all this is. This is standard 1821 01:45:57,479 --> 01:46:00,320 Speaker 2: Trump tactic to a thing. These twists may never actually 1822 01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:03,760 Speaker 2: get fully implemented. Knowing the way Trump does things. 1823 01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:04,280 Speaker 3: Walls. 1824 01:46:04,280 --> 01:46:07,000 Speaker 2: She may call it taco, he calls its strategy. And 1825 01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:11,520 Speaker 2: right now he's winning that debate. Doctor Matt Will, economist 1826 01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:13,840 Speaker 2: at the University of Indianapolis. I appreciate you taking the 1827 01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:15,840 Speaker 2: time to be with us more to get to I'm 1828 01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:18,719 Speaker 2: Tony Katz. This is Tony Kats today. So we've reached 1829 01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:22,760 Speaker 2: the Everybody a Stupid portion of our show where Congressman 1830 01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:29,160 Speaker 2: Eric Swalwell Democrat Fang Fang California is challenging Greg Guttfeld 1831 01:46:29,320 --> 01:46:34,040 Speaker 2: of Fox to see how many bench presses he can do. Guys, 1832 01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:38,000 Speaker 2: there's no shot, there's no future. Just start drinking bourbon. Now, 1833 01:46:38,400 --> 01:46:40,000 Speaker 2: this guy's a member of Congress. 1834 01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:42,360 Speaker 3: How dumb can one be? 1835 01:46:42,880 --> 01:46:47,800 Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today. I guess Swawall is doing 1836 01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:49,880 Speaker 2: all these videos. So look at me, I'm bench pressing. 1837 01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:51,920 Speaker 2: Look at me, I'm doing this. Oh my gosh, look 1838 01:46:51,960 --> 01:46:53,679 Speaker 2: at the price of beef. And he thinks he's funny 1839 01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:56,599 Speaker 2: and whatever. It's nonsense. But I guess Guttfeld was talking 1840 01:46:56,600 --> 01:46:59,120 Speaker 2: about it on a show last night, and Swalwell writes, 1841 01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:02,719 Speaker 2: here's a deal for great Gutfeld and then says never 1842 01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:06,080 Speaker 2: heard of him till he spends eight minutes criticizing what 1843 01:47:06,160 --> 01:47:06,920 Speaker 2: I bench press. 1844 01:47:07,640 --> 01:47:08,360 Speaker 3: Bull crap. 1845 01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:12,000 Speaker 2: You never heard of Greg Guttfeld as a Democrat member 1846 01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:13,080 Speaker 2: of Congress. 1847 01:47:13,120 --> 01:47:16,800 Speaker 3: Never stop, just stop it. 1848 01:47:16,800 --> 01:47:19,639 Speaker 2: It's all a lie at that moment, and he says, 1849 01:47:19,760 --> 01:47:22,760 Speaker 2: here's the deal. If tough guy benches more than me 1850 01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:26,120 Speaker 2: for ten reps, I'll leave Congress. If not, he leaves 1851 01:47:26,160 --> 01:47:29,280 Speaker 2: Fox News. I'll give Greg forty eight hours to accept. 1852 01:47:29,560 --> 01:47:32,800 Speaker 2: Then I'm calling him gutlass Feld.
