1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Live from vall Hartber and the Crossroads of America. It's

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today.

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: So earlier today, Secretary Hegseth and General Cain, the Chairman

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: of the Joint Chiefs, held a press confidence. They've been

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 2: doing this now in the mornings. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good.

6
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: To be with you.

7
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: Updates and what's going on with the actions in Iran.

8
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: And you know, on that.

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 2: First day, it was okay, here's what we did, here's

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: why we did it, and Hegseth being Hegseeth, everything was

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: very Trump did this and Trump did that.

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of that kind of presser.

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: What I'm a fan of is the troops did this,

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: and the troops did that. President Trump gave the order

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: and here's what we did. When you put it all

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: on Trump, Trump did this, and Trump's leadership and Trump,

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: I often wont under whether or not military guys, never

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: mind the American populace as a whole look at that

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 2: and say it's not about you, it's about the people

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: who are doing the fighting. We get that President Trump

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: made the decision, and I don't think there's anything wrong

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: in saying that. But there's a lot of repetition to

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: Trump this and Trump that. And I don't like it

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: when heg Seth plays the part of Pam BONDI. It's

25
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: a bad, bad look. But today was different, right. I

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: don't mind the statements. We're doing this, we're doing that.

27
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: Here's why we're doing it. And you know, you have

28
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,639
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, saying that his words

29
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: got taken out of context because people didn't play the

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: whole clip as he was talking.

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: About why we are involved in this and it wasn't

32
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: Israel dragging us into it.

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: This is what President Trump seemed to correct yesterday in

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: some of his statements. And as I've looked at it,

35
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: I think that whole concept is bunk. It's what it's

36
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: what the woke right and the left desperately wants. It's

37
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: not reality. Do I think that they saw that Iran

38
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: was looking to make moves, that Israel was absolutely ready

39
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: to respond. Did the United States possibly say to itself

40
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 2: after hearing all this and seeing all this, you know what.

41
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: Guys, We're in this.

42
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: This is happening, and now is the moment, and that's

43
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: all there is to it. When you take a look

44
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: at the scope, you have to believe that we were prepared.

45
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: And one of the ways we know we were prepared

46
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: is that we had already moved the gerald from the

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: Abraham Lincoln into the area. We moved the drail forward

48
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: into the area. We have the nimits in the area.

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: We were already setting things up. So the idea that

50
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: somehow we were dragged into it last second doesn't comport

51
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 2: with the facts on the ground. And so I never

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: really gave that any credence, just that the left was

53
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: going to go wild with that story. The woke right,

54
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 2: the Tuckers of the world are going to go wild

55
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: with that story. But today, and I want you to

56
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: hear it for yourself, you had Pete Hegseth, the Secretary

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: of War, a Secretary of Defense.

58
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: However you want to refer to him.

59
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: Now these days, and he was making a much much

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: different statement. And this has started what is quite clearly

61
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 2: the propaganda war.

62
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: No no, not for the American press in Iran. Listen, well,

63
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: good morning.

64
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: I stand before you today with one unmistakable message about

65
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: Operation Epic Fury. America is winning decisively, devastatingly, and without mercy,

66
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: under the direct command of President Trump.

67
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: The war Department unleashed this operation early Saturday.

68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: Morning, just four days ago, which means we need to

69
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: remember two things.

70
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 4: First, we are only four days into this.

71
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: Metrics are shifting, dust is settling, and more forces are arriving.

72
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: It's very early, and as President Trump has said, we

73
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: will take all the time.

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: We need to make sure that we succeeded. Second, we are.

75
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: Only four days into this, and the results have been

76
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 3: incredible historic. Really, only the United States of America could

77
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: lead this, only US, but when you add the Israeli

78
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 3: Defense Forces, a devastatingly capable force, the combination is sheer

79
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: destruction for our radical Islamist Iranian adversaries. They are toast

80
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: and they know it, or at least soon enough they

81
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 3: will know it. And we have only just begun to hunt, dismantle, demoralize,

82
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: destroy and defeat their capabilities. Just four days in, starting

83
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: last night and to be completed in a few days

84
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: and under a week, the two most powerful air force

85
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: vers is in the world will have complete control of

86
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: Iranian skies, uncontested airspace. I hope all the folks watching

87
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 3: understand what uncontested airspace and complete control means. It means

88
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: we will fly all day, all night, day and night, finding,

89
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: fixing and finishing the missiles and defense industrial base of

90
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 3: the Iranian military, finding and fixing their.

91
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 4: Leaders and their military leaders.

92
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 3: Flying over Tehran, flying over Iran, flying over their capital,

93
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: flying over the IRGC, Iranian leaders looking up and seeing

94
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: only US and Israeli airpower, every minute of every day

95
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: until we decide it's over.

96
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: That is not bragging. That is the propaganda war.

97
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: Letting the IRGC know these Revolutionary Guard core no, it's

98
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: over and they have lost.

99
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: That's what that is.

100
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: It's not even close to anything else. It is so

101
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: easy and clear to understand.

102
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: That this is what he's saying.

103
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: Now there are reports that Trump is looking to higher

104
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: forces to knock out the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Court, which

105
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: would would make sense in that you can't win this

106
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: if the IRGC is still in any way, shape or

107
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: form in power.

108
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: You can't win this. If they are.

109
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: Somehow still able to exist, they have to be broken.

110
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: It has to happen. If it does not happen, then

111
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: you aren't going to be able to win this. You

112
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: can take out the Iranian leadership and they elected a

113
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: I at all the sun of Iatola Kamane and he

114
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: is dead.

115
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the Israelis are just.

116
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: Knocking, knocking this out of the park, just absolute destruction,

117
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: time and time and time again. The United States and

118
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: the Israelis are doing an incredible job. But in order

119
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: to have victory on the ground, you have to have

120
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: the people on the ground being able to rise up.

121
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: Right now, there are people chanting resistance songs and the

122
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: IRGC is shooting at them. So you have to break,

123
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: you have to crack the IRGC. If you can't do that,

124
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: you won't have it, you will not get the success.

125
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: Now the US is claiming the destruction of an IRGC

126
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: command center, and so what are we hearing next? That

127
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: the IRGC is reconstant shooting in hospitals and schools. Not

128
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: a surprise if that is indeed the case. Not a

129
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: surprise if we are to find that they pull the

130
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: same stuff that Hamas pulls, hiding behind children and the

131
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: sick and the elderly, because well that's what terrorists do.

132
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: So this statement from Hegsath is absolutely a propaganda move

133
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: to be played in Iran to break the will of

134
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 2: the IRGC.

135
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 4: In Iran. We'll be able to do nothing about it.

136
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 4: B Two's B fifty two s.

137
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: B ones, predator drones, fighters controlling the skies, picking targets,

138
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 3: death and destruction from the sky all day long.

139
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: We're playing for keeps.

140
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: Our war fighters have maximum authorities granted personally by the

141
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: President and yours truly. Our rules of engagement are bold, precise,

142
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: and designed to unleash American power, not shackle it. This

143
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: was never meant to be a fair fight, and it

144
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 3: is not a fair fight.

145
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: And if you ask me, I approve of everything that

146
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: just got said there, every last thing that was said.

147
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: Then you have General Kine who first addressed those who

148
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: were killed in combat. Four names have been released thus far.

149
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: Of those who were killed, you have Captain Cody cork

150
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 2: kho r K of Florida, Sergeant first Class Noah Tegians

151
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: of Nebraska, Sergeant first Class Nicole Ahmer or is it

152
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: a more of Minnesota? And Sergeant decland Cody of Iowa.

153
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: That is for the sixth that we know of who

154
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: have been killed in this attack. And so General Cain

155
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: started with mentioning and remembering them.

156
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 5: We members home at Dover in the coming days, out

157
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 5: of respect for the other families, will withhold the release

158
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 5: of their names until next of kin notification is complete,

159
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 5: and either myself or Admiral Cooper will release those names

160
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 5: as soon as we can ensure that all of those

161
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 5: families have been properly notified. To our gold Star families,

162
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 5: to our wounded warriors and their loved ones, we will

163
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 5: never forget your sacrifice. Our nation stands with you, and

164
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 5: we are eternally grateful for your courage, your resiliency, your

165
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 5: devotion to this mission and to our nation. As the

166
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 5: Secretary said, we're four days in one hundred and three

167
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 5: hours into this campaign. The operation was again launched with

168
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 5: clear military objectives designed to dismantle Iron's ability to project

169
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 5: power outside out of its borders, both today and in

170
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 5: the future. First, we are targeting and eliminating Iran's ballistic

171
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 5: missile systems to prevent them from threatening the US forces, partners,

172
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 5: and interests in the region. Second, we are destroying the

173
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 5: Iranian Navy, degrading its capacity, capability, and ability to conduct

174
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 5: operations not just in the Central Command ao R, but

175
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 5: as the Secretary showed in the video, around the world. Third,

176
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 5: we're ensuring Iran cannot rapidly rebuild or reconstitute its combat

177
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 5: capability or combat power, and those phases will begin as

178
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,239
Speaker 5: the campaign continues.

179
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: As of this.

180
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 5: Morning, US Central Command is making steady progress a rans theater.

181
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 5: Ballistic missile shots fired are down eighty six percent from

182
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 5: the first day of fighting, with a twenty three percent

183
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 5: decrease just in the last twenty four hours, and they're

184
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 5: one way attack own shots are down seventy three percent

185
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 5: from the opening days. This progress has allowed Sentcom to

186
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 5: establish localized air superiority across the southern flank of the

187
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 5: Iranian coast and penetrate their defenses with overwhelming precision and firepower.

188
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 5: We will now begin to expand inland, striking progressively deeper

189
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 5: into Iranian territory and creating additional freedom of maneuver for

190
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 5: US forces. Let me explain a little bit about how.

191
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: We're thinking about staying ahead.

192
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 5: Of the enemy first. Over the past several weeks, Admiral

193
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 5: Cooper and the Sentcom team have refined their operational approach

194
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 5: to the region. Their planners identified key centers of gravity

195
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 5: that would allow a RAND to project power outside of

196
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 5: its borders. They thought about how to isolate critical vulnerabilities

197
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 5: and determined where, with precision, the greatest strategic effect could

198
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 5: be achieved. As a result of this, SENTCOM is now

199
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 5: shifting in day four already from large deliberate strike packages

200
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 5: using standoff munitions at range outside an enemy's ability to

201
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 5: shoot at us now and to stand in precision strikes overhead.

202
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 5: Aaron as the Secretary said, this is a point of

203
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 5: munitions transition from standoff munitions to stand in munitions like

204
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 5: joint direct attack munitions, which are GPS aided free fall

205
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 5: weapons and other things like hell fires, etc.

206
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got a lot of firepower. Was there some

207
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 2: Democrat who said they were worried we were going to

208
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 2: run out of bullets, we were going to run out

209
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: of ammunition. It is such an insane thought. But they're

210
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: throwing anything. They're throwing anything they can at the idea

211
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: of oh this is also terrible. Oh we shouldn't be

212
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: doing this.

213
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: Oh this is the worst thing ever.

214
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: I think that if we're going to discuss whether or

215
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: not we should be doing this, we discuss it like adults.

216
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: Do we want to be engaged like this? Yes or no?

217
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: I say yes.

218
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: Other people might disagree, but you don't say, well, we

219
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: can't do this because we don't have the bullets.

220
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

221
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: And if we don't have the bullets, what we should

222
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: do is defund planned parenthood. So we have all the bullets,

223
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: because what's imperative, what is most important is that we

224
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: have all the damn bullets. There's the idea that we

225
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: would actually spend our money on anything else in any

226
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: other way. The only thing that matters is that we

227
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: have the bullets. And if we don't have the bullets,

228
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: we got to put an end to every social program

229
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: democrats are in favor of to make sure we have

230
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: the bullets. Good gosh, you see, that's an example of

231
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: non sense, sense, ignorance, stupidity, and just full on Trump

232
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: arrangement syndrome hate. We should address this like the grownups

233
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: that we are. What is valuable here? What is the

234
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: win here? What do we want.

235
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: Out of this?

236
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: What are the next steps out of this? What is

237
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: an exit strategy? All good questions. By the way, some

238
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: things are unknown. You have the president saying five weeks,

239
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: we'll be there for five weeks. I think that's about

240
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: setting an improper standard and you can be done in

241
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: two And then you say, look, how well we did.

242
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: We were only done. We were done in two weeks.

243
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: We said five weeks. My gosh, see the setup. And

244
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: then if it lasts five weeks, well we told you

245
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: it was gonna last five weeks. Right, that's the idea

246
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: of the buffer. But also you can argue that's giving

247
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: a timeline to it is a problem. We don't want

248
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: to give timelines to it. It's done when it's done.

249
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: And now we have to ask ourselves what is done

250
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: to me? What is done is the not only the

251
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: Iatola dead, but the regime completely gone, not coming back,

252
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: and the people establishing a government for themselves with some

253
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: help from the United States and other nations, but not

254
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: in a conversation of rebuilding, but in a conversation of

255
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: getting things situated that Arab nations and other partners in

256
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: the region will agree to, and then letting them go

257
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: to work, and it might be different than this nation

258
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 2: or that nation, but it'll be their nation. And as

259
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: long as you're keeping them away from anything nuclear, you're

260
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: allowing them to live their lives good. And they'll be

261
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: squabbles and they'll be other things with other nations. That's

262
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: going to happen, because these things do happen. But you

263
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: want the end to the torture, the end to the murders,

264
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: the end to the sponsorship of terrorism, and there are

265
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: a lot of other forms of government that can do

266
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: just to that. That's what I'm looking for, and then

267
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: we go home. That's my plan. Who discusses adults what

268
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: our plan is. But I tell you I favor the

269
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 2: taking out of the regime for America's future, and I'm

270
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: very glad that it happened. But what Secretary Hegzeth was

271
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: doing today, that was propaganda pushed onto the IRGC to

272
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 2: get them to break.

273
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: You can't stop us. It's already over. It's all over,

274
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: and you lost surrender. Now. I'm Tony Katz. This is

275
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today.

276
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 2: The Texas primaries is where all the eyes were at

277
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: last night. And Jasmine Crockett, how we will miss thee

278
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: losing the primary to James tall Rico.

279
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today. This guy, by the way,

280
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: is a peach. I mean, this is James Talerrico.

281
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 4: Our southern border should be like our front course. There

282
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 4: should be a giant welcome matt out front.

283
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 2: And some people are saying, oh, this is taken out

284
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: of context. He was saying that we should only be

285
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: well welcoming to legal immigration. All I know is I

286
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: went to his website, Jamestolrico dot com. Most of us

287
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: agree on what should happen. Our borders should be like

288
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: a front porch. It should have a welcome at outfront

289
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: and a lock on the door. We can both welcome

290
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 2: the stranger, refugees, asylum secrets, and folks who want to

291
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 2: contribute to our economy and pursue the American dream, and

292
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: we can keep people out who mean to do us harm. Now,

293
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: when you say welcome the stranger, and you're echoing the

294
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: words of Mamdani, I have a hard time believing that

295
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: you are serious about border security. I think it's something

296
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 2: you say. We should be hunting down human traffickers, not

297
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: moms and babies. We should be stopping a legal immigration,

298
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: not curtailing avenues for immigrants to legally migrate to America

299
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 2: and make our country richer and stronger. I don't think

300
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 2: that it's he's taken out of context here.

301
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: We should not have a giant welcome at outfront.

302
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 2: We should favor legal immigration and not favor illegal immigration.

303
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 2: So why not say the words? But you'll note he

304
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: doesn't say that he does not say legal and illegal.

305
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: And when you are not willing to say things clearly

306
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: and you're willing to attack Ice constantly and consistently, no

307
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: one should believe you on the border.

308
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: But yet this guy is the nominee.

309
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: The Republicans will have a runoff between the current Senator

310
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 2: John Cornyn and the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton because

311
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: neither one of.

312
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: Them got fifty percent of the vote.

313
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 2: No, Jasmine Crockett, Gosh, congratulations representative on your new show

314
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 2: on MS now or CNN. This is Tony Katz Today.

315
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: So it was a busy morning on the hill. The

316
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 2: Supreme Court is hearing a case on transportation law, and

317
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out the case they heard yesterday

318
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: on guns and weed.

319
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: I cannot make hide nor hair of it. So I've

320
00:19:59,240 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: got a little more re.

321
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: Search to do before I bring in some people to

322
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: be able to ask the right questions. Tony Katz, Tony

323
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: Katz Today, good to be with you. I've got the story.

324
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 2: If you are part of tonykats dot com and you

325
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: get the show sheet every single day Monday through Friday,

326
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: Shooting Newsweekly has it. It appears the Supreme Court is

327
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 2: likely to let marijuana users own guns. I'm telling you,

328
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: I need the background. That's the problem here. I don't

329
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 2: have the background on this to be able to kind

330
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 2: of play how this should go forward. And the conversation is,

331
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: you're somebody who's smoking weed at home, and are you

332
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: somehow do you give up your first year I'm sorry,

333
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: your Second Amendment rights? Is this the argument? So what's

334
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 2: interesting is that these guys see it as it seemed

335
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: like the court was leaning.

336
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: In that direction. And then you even have which is

337
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: left leaning.

338
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court appears likely to let Stoner's own guns.

339
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: I got to understand the story before I am able

340
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: to ask the right questions to get the right people

341
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: in here to be able to explain to us what

342
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: exactly just happened here. So have you got any thoughts?

343
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 2: I'll take them. Tony at Tony kats dot com love

344
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 2: to hear what you have to say. Remember, I'm a

345
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 2: Second Amendment guy, not a gun guy. So in this conversation,

346
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 2: I'm very focused on how we view the rights of

347
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 2: the Second Amendment and are they ever impeded by other activities.

348
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: That we have deemed to be illegal activities?

349
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: Is the action of X changing the right of why

350
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: if one could ask the question if you are defending

351
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 2: your home or defending your loved ones, and in that

352
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 2: defense you shoot and kill somebody, that is seen differently.

353
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: One would assume then if you were defending your loved

354
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: ones or defending yourself and you were drunk and killed somebody.

355
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: So that's my question, what already exists on the books?

356
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 2: What is it that we're actually asking here? And I've

357
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: got a cup people that I'm gonna bring to you

358
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 2: guys to be able to kind of break that down further.

359
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 2: So that happened yesterday. And then you have Christy Nome testifying.

360
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: She's testifying in front of the House, I believe, a

361
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: House Judiciary committee about oversight of Homeland Security. So you

362
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: know that's going to be a very contested and angry

363
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 2: kind of event with leftists trying to get in all

364
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: the talking points they can about ice. Then you have

365
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: what we talked about earlier regarding the press conference from

366
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Tim Walls, the governor

367
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: of Minnesota.

368
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: He's talking in.

369
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 2: Front of Congress about the misuse of federal funds, the fraud.

370
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: Can I tell you.

371
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 2: I had the most retweeted or most liked tweet post

372
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 2: of my life the other day.

373
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: It is weird how things hit. It is very very strange.

374
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: And I saw that Tim Walls he had posted.

375
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: After it was announced that you know, we had engaged

376
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 2: these hits on on Iran.

377
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: He wrote, no new Wars, right, so brave, so brave

378
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: that he wrote no new Wars.

379
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 2: I responded with what's called the quote tweet, and I

380
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 2: responded with no new fraud.

381
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: No new fraud. I thought it was a good.

382
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 2: Remark, and it's absolutely something that I favored. I think

383
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: you favor twelve thousand likes that that is the most.

384
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: Of my career.

385
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 2: I don't I don't understand how the social media works.

386
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: I really am bamboozled by all of it.

387
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: How does that connect?

388
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 2: I have written things that I think are pure genius.

389
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 2: Quite literally Shakespeare would say, bravo, sir, just just goal poetry,

390
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 2: summit worthy.

391
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: Five likes.

392
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 2: I swear to you, I have no idea why these

393
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: things connect as they do. So Walls is engaged there

394
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: and I'll share that more with you tomorrow. But the

395
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: House Republicans held a news conference, and of course there's

396
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 2: a lot to talk about because within everything we just mentioned, Warren,

397
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: Iran fraud in Minnesota, Ice, everything leads.

398
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: To the midterms. These people have to win the midterms.

399
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 2: So when they're now engaged in these conversations and speaking

400
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: in front of the press and in front of America,

401
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 2: everything has to be midterm directed.

402
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: And you know that.

403
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 2: I'm a guy who sees the path if they fight,

404
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: prove a couple of their economic policies accurate, actually lower

405
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: some costs they have on gas, and they will again

406
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: gas prices are going to go up. It was up

407
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: eleven cents nationwide because of what's happening in Iran. You're

408
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: already seeing a little bit of stabilization in the oil prices.

409
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: The big jumps went down a little bit. Then I've

410
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: done much right.

411
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 2: You do have West Texas crude that for the majority

412
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 2: of the day was under seventy five dollars a barrel.

413
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: The Brent crud, which is out of the oceans was

414
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: under eighty five dollars a barrel. These days it was

415
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 2: over eighty seven. So everything's calmed.

416
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: A little bit. The futures market this morning had was positive.

417
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: The market were up, Yes, they were down four hundred

418
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,239
Speaker 2: yesterday agreed, but they were down twelve hundred yesterday and

419
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: they only closed down four hundred, Which is to say

420
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: that everybody has calmed down a little bit and they're

421
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: taking a look at what's happening and they're absorbing it.

422
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 2: And then you've got Bessent saying there's going to be

423
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 2: a global fifteen percent tariff that's going to go into

424
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: effect this week, even with.

425
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: Everything else going on.

426
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: And I will tell you, and I haven't spoken to

427
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 2: any of my economics people yet, haven't spoken to doctor

428
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: Wills or Charles Payin or some of the other people

429
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: that I chat with, I think that people are going

430
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: to very much like this idea of okay, it's fifteen

431
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: percent across the board. Now we still have different tariffs

432
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: on automotive and some other things, but there's certainty in

433
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: that number. And I think one of the things the

434
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 2: market and I shouldn't say, I think I think we

435
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 2: would all agree one of the things that the market

436
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: likes is certainty, so they know how to act, they

437
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 2: know what's coming, they can work within it. So all

438
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 2: of this is still backdrop. And you know, I hate tarriffs,

439
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: I do do. All this is backdrop for everything Republicans

440
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: say between now November three, because everything plays into the

441
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 2: reelection game, plays into the midterms. So when they gather

442
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: as they did with the Speaker of the House, Brian

443
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: mast is there, Tom Emmer, you've got the majority leader

444
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 2: in Steve Scalise, you have the majority whip, Tom Emmer,

445
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: and oh, I forget her name right there, I'm gonna

446
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: get yelled at for forgetting her name. They have to

447
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 2: be addressing the war, the economy, all of it, to say,

448
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: our policies are working and our strength is working.

449
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: Everything is a midterm conversation.

450
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 6: Well, our brave men and women are risking their lives

451
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 6: overseas to keep America safe. Democrats here are tearing down

452
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 6: our defense. Nearly every single Democrat voted to shut down

453
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 6: the Department of Homeland Security. This wasn't a messaging mistake.

454
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 6: It was a deliberate policy choice, and a very dangerous

455
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 6: one in that.

456
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: I love this. I love everything about this right here.

457
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 2: Because I talk about the lack of fight and Republicans

458
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 2: and how it's supposed to work, and fighting is not about,

459
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 2: you know, worrying about civility. People get civility. All sorts

460
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: of wrong. Civility is not the absence of fighting. You

461
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: have to go at these people who are endangering the

462
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 2: lives of Americans with everything in you. You still haven't

463
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: funded the Department of Homeland Security. Well, that means that

464
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: Fentanel can get into the country. That means we don't

465
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 2: have the Coastguard doing its job properly because people aren't

466
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 2: getting paid and Lord only knows what as cells are

467
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: trying to make their way our way. This is dangerous

468
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 2: stuff that the Democrats are allowing to happen. These Democrats

469
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 2: are going to get people killed. These Democrats have blood

470
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 2: on their hands. These Democrats aren't serious about America safety

471
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: and security. These are democrats don't even care about the country.

472
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 2: They don't care about your kids, they don't care about

473
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: your wife, they don't care about your Memhile, these Democrats

474
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: cannot be in power. They're too dangerous. I want more

475
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: of that talk. I want them on defense. I want

476
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 2: them explaining. As the old adage goes, if you're in politics,

477
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 2: if you're.

478
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: Explaining, you're losing. So I like this approach very much.

479
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 6: Between twenty and twenty one and twenty and twenty four,

480
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 6: the Biden administration's open border borders allowed more than three

481
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 6: hundred and eighty individuals i'm the terrorist watch list to

482
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 6: be apprehended attempting to cross.

483
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: Our borders illegally.

484
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 6: We also know that Biden released more than seven hundred

485
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 6: Iranians into the interior of our country after crossing our

486
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 6: border illegally.

487
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: Now that's just what we know.

488
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 6: President Trump didn't waste one second cleaning up that mess.

489
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 6: Within days of taking office, President Trump got to work

490
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 6: deporting Iranian terrorists who had entered under Biden. They weren't overseas,

491
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 6: they were here on American soil. The job isn't finished.

492
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 6: The threat is real, and when the world's leading sponsor

493
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 6: of terrorism is promising retaliation, this is the moment Democrats

494
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 6: decide to shut down the very agency created after nine

495
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 6: to eleven to prevent another attack.

496
00:30:58,960 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: I like this approach.

497
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 2: I like it a lot. Now I'm a guy who

498
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: would be very okay if this part of my homeland

499
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: security was gone. I think we could do this all

500
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: under defense. I absolutely do. Then speaking was Representative Brian

501
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 2: mast who, as you know, lost his legs, a man

502
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: who served in the military.

503
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: They bring him up next.

504
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 7: Let's start by speaking about our fallen service members as well.

505
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 7: Representative Zinki and myself, we were discussing this literally heartbreaking

506
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 7: to us, and I mean that it's something that can

507
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 7: bring us to tears as we think about taps and

508
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 7: we think about that crack of a twenty one gun salute,

509
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 7: and you think about seeing our friends, spouses, families handed flags.

510
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 7: You know, when you think about those things, it literally

511
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 7: it brings you to tears when you think about old

512
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 7: friends and we have families that are about to go

513
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 7: through that. It's a very serious thing for our country.

514
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 7: But what our reflection is also about that is that

515
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 7: we can't even count the number of friends that we

516
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 7: have buried because of the hand of Iran.

517
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: Year after year.

518
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 7: There's an estimate that one in six service members that

519
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 7: were killed from roughly two thousand and three to thirteen

520
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 7: fourteen that window.

521
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: Killed by the hand of Iran.

522
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 7: Those were our friends. And Finally, and that's why the

523
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 7: thanks goes to President Trump. Finally we have a commander

524
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,239
Speaker 7: in chief that's willing to say that that comes to

525
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 7: an end. We're no longer going to face this imminent

526
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 7: threat year after year after year.

527
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: What does that imminent threat look like?

528
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 7: What has it been beyond just the last four days,

529
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 7: What has it been for the last forty years or

530
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 7: the last couple of years that President Trump decided he

531
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 7: needed to act against it. Almost every member of Congress

532
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 7: has voted to say that Iran is the largest state

533
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 7: sponsor of terror because they're an imminent threat. Almost unanimous

534
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 7: votes condemning their continuous support for proxies that are attacking America,

535
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 7: our people, our merchant marine fleets, our navy vessels. Almost

536
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 7: unanimous votes condemning that, almost unanimous votes calling their nuclear

537
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 7: program a massive threat to the United States of America.

538
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 7: Almost unanimous votes designating the Iran Revolutionary Guard as a

539
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 7: terrorist organization. All of those votes, they weren't almost unanimous

540
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 7: for no reason at all. They paint a clear picture

541
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 7: of what everybody has concluded to be an imminent threat

542
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 7: against the United States of America.

543
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: Year in, year out.

544
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 7: Iran has been an imminent threat against US because they

545
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 7: have never faced in imminent response until President Trump.

546
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: What did they face?

547
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 7: Instead, they faced negotiations that told them how much uranium

548
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 7: they could enrich when they could reach their nuclear weapon,

549
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 7: instead of never literally received palettes of cash.

550
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 2: That's what Obama did, and I like this too. Brian

551
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 2: mast is making the clear distinction between the weakness of

552
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 2: the old and the strength of the new. That the

553
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: weakness failed and led us into more danger, but this

554
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 2: strength will prevail and lead us to more peace.

555
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: It's a good message that can resonate. This is Tony

556
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: Katz today.

557
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: So all this talk about the tours of Taylor Swift,

558
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 2: all this talk about how popular Bad Bunny was or

559
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 2: wasn't at the at the Super Bowl, Shakira had a

560
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 2: concert in Mexico City. It was a free concert, which

561
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: you could argue changes things. Around four hundred thousand people

562
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: showed up. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be

563
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: with you. All I'm saying is, yes, if it's free,

564
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 2: more people are going to show up. If I see

565
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 2: fifty people in a crowd, I'm like, you know what,

566
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 2: maybe this isn't for me. Four hundred thousand people showed

567
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: up at this concert in Mexico City. That is crazy.

568
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 2: I also did not know Shakira was so popular. I

569
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: know the hips don't lie. I just didn't know they

570
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 2: brought so many people out to the party. But I

571
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: am reminded of this by this that in the end,

572
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 2: people do not want solitary lives. They want human connection,

573
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 2: they want experiences. There is life outside your apartment and

574
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 2: there is life outside your phone screen.

575
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: It is true and real. Find everything at Tony kats
