WEBVTT - Episode 4661: Tony Katz Today Hour 1 - 08/11/26 0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:10.200 Why from Vall, Heartbland and the Crossroads of America. 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:17.360 It's Tony Katz today. 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:24.160 Yes, Jake Tapper, the president's life is going to get 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:28.240 protected more than your life. Now, you'll note that I 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:32.240 didn't say that his life means more than yours. Right 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:35.479 for a life to mean more than another would be 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.320 very very personal as a concept, and I would never 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:42.040 say that to your family, your life doesn't mean more 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:43.599 than now of the president of the United States. I 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.199 certainly believe in a night shouldn't say that. I know 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.920 to be fact that my life matters more to my 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:51.920 wife than the president's life. 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:54.400 I get that she gets that. 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.720 I'm thrilled by that, actually, But to the Secret Service, 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:04.720 your life and the media's life, while important, isn't their job. 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:06.800 Isn't their focus? 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:12.319 And when there is a threat of assassination against the 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.960 President of the United States, they might make moves that 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:17.199 they don't tell you about. 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.840 You put in harm's way, but not the president. 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:24.880 You want to talk about living in the real world, Jake, 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.440 or do you want to pretend that somehow you're special? 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.360 Tony Katz, Tony kats today, great to be with you guys, 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.520 fighting everything I do over at tony kats dot com 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.440 and don't forget live streaming, YouTube and rumble. You should 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.759 check it out for yourself. Just look for Tony Katz 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.520 on the Twitter which is known as x Tony Kats 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:45.960 and Facebook Tony Kats Radio. 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.640 The story is ugly. 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:55.280 That that whole conversation that was had when President Trump 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.720 was in anchor in Turkey for the NATO summit, all 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.960 those questions from the New York Times reporters about Air 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.840 Force one, where we asked the question here we watched 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:08.840 it happen in real time, and I asked what you 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:09.440 would have been. 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:13.400 Asking, are you trying to get him killed? Because that's 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:14.560 how it looked. 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:19.480 They were absolutely proactively trying to get him killed. Oh, 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.520 there's something wrong with Air Force one. Ooh, there's an 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.680 issue with Air Force one. Hey, enemies of Trump, there's 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.760 a problem with his plane. Go at it. That's what 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.600 it sounded like from two different New York Times reporters. 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:36.919 And then we learn that you have the Secretary of 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:43.480 the Air Force who no longer can get access to 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:49.440 classified information because the former Secretary of the Air Force, 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:56.639 that's Frank Kendall, may have leaked information to the New 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.639 York times. This is the second chair of Air Force 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.640 under the Biden administration. No more classified info for you, 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.320 no more stuff for you. 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:06.120 You leaked. 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.360 See, it's not enough. Leakers have to go to jail. 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.800 Leakers have to go to jail immediately. And I don't 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:19.119 know what the hell we're waiting for. So maybe that's 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.919 how they knew, and that's why they were asking. Meanwhile, 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:27.840 the President is in Turkey and there's a threat. According 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.520 to the reporting. This was the Washington Post that had 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:36.840 the first reporting. President Trump was seen boarding Air Force 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:45.080 one publicly publicly got on the plane. But what happened 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:49.920 next was he walked through the plane into a catering truck, 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.760 you know those they brought the food and they kind 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.920 of like they could be elevated up and they are 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.120 usually I like, you enter this door and that it's 0:03:59.200 --> 0:03:59.920 usually on the other side of. 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:01.960 The are where the galley is for those of us. 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:08.360 Who fly commercial like morons, He walked right through, got 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:12.320 on that truck where he was then transported to another 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:16.040 plane that was to an Air Force C thirty two, 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:22.120 a military aircraft, and they hid Trump's location for several 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:26.920 hours because strikes were going on against Iran and there 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:28.839 was a concern that they may. 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.200 Target Air Force One. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.800 Now, before we get deeper into the story, let us 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.479 be clear that anybody who thought it was okay for 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.680 him to ride this new Air Force one that was 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.120 donated by the qataris which we never should have accepted. 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.400 His argument is, they want to give me a four 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.720 hundred million dollar plane. I'm taking a four hundred million 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:54.000 dollar plane. I've seen people give up more for free fries. 0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:05.479 We never, never, ever should have taken that plane. But 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.719 that plane allegedly didn't have all of the safety capabilities 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:14.440 that a plane like that is supposed to have, countermeasures, 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.359 a whole host of things. It's got to be a 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.279 well armed thing. Why anybody was allowed to fly it 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.919 is beyond me. We will leave that to the side. 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.880 That you and I, regardless of our politics, could agree 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.040 wholeheartedly that a plane that isn't prepared to protect the 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.479 president of the United States cannot be flown, can't be 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.720 We should also be clear that if there's a thread 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:39.560 against the president of the United States, and I don't 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.560 care who the president of the United States. 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.880 Is, we make moves to protect the president. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.880 In this case, he was moved off of air Force 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.440 one onto the Air Force C thirty two A, which 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.360 with him on it would be the new Air Force one. 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.640 But that's call signals, and let's just keep it straight 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:54.000 for now. 0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:01.320 The plane that took off didn't have the President on it, 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.960 even though they thought he was on it had the 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:04.840 Press Corps on it. 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:13.600 The Press Corps was on this plane, and. 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:19.680 That seems to have a whole bunch of people outraged. 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:29.320 One of those people is Jake Tapper, he writes. 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:34.479 So the US Secret Service thought the threat against the 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:39.640 President was strong enough to surreptitiously remove him, surreptitiously remove 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.320 him from Air Force one, and then proceeded to let 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.960 the plane full of White House staffers and reporters take 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:50.479 off and fly back to the United States. If the 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.640 question is is Jake Tapper stupid? 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:56.039 The answer is yes. 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.080 We live in the real world in his fantasy world, 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.599 and I'm not about to pretend that Jake Tapper is 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:04.279 on my level. 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:04.640 He's not. 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:10.360 For personal reasons, I have a disdain of Jake Tapper 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.280 helping to build a pylon against me on social media. 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.440 That didn't mean anything, but it showed what cheap of 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.280 a human being he is. How cheap of a human 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:26.040 being he is what cheap human being he is? Then, 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.920 of course, Jake Tapper showed by his politics that outside 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.720 of being able to note that Lewis Farricott is a 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:36.800 Jew hating bigot, he has done nothing but celebrate progressivism 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:43.520 and engage in absolute failures as a journalist, being highlighted 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.240 by writing a book saying, Oh my gosh, can you 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:50.160 believe Joe Biden didn't have all his mental faculties. He 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:51.960 wasn't really up to the task. There was a question 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:56.240 about his mental acuity. I, for one, am shocked he 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:01.360 profited off a book where he and his at work clearly, 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.400 in my view, lied to the American people repeatedly, if 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:12.840 not daily, about Joe Biden's condition, and then he profited. 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:16.800 I think he's a bad person. 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.080 I think he is like all these people become like 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:26.680 Scott Pelly became over at CBS, so believers in their 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:27.400 own hype. 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.160 I must be important. I'm on CNN. You're not important. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.160 Somebody else will be on CNN and they won't be 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:38.920 important either. What's wrong with you? Never believe your own hype? 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:44.200 What are you nuts? You know who believed their own hype? 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:51.760 Shelley Long, who's Shelley Long? Correct? You know who believe 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:52.560 their own hype? 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:59.960 David Caruso, Who's David Caruso correct? History has got examples, 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:08.440 you just don't remember them. Jake Tapper can't believe that 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:14.240 this plane with staffers and with journalists was allowed to 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:15.199 fly under threat. 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:18.959 We live in the real world. 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:24.360 We don't live as children, even though progressives often live 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:30.160 that way. Everything is a danger, and the story here 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.280 is that Iran is a danger and Iran should be 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:36.520 dealt with. Marjorie Taylor Green can't do the job. These 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.280 pseudo intellectuals can't do the job. The leftists can't do 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.360 the job. And I want the president to do the 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.720 job again. Just the threat that's threatening him and threatening 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.360 all of us not to play this game of well, 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.719 we'll wait them out. Oh now, Iran won't do any 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:55.120 negotiating whatsoever. Okay, Fine, we'll just keep the bombings going, 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.040 small bombings, big bombings. We'll wait three days, we'll do 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.280 another bombing, and of course we'll keep the e gnomic 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.960 sanctions on and of course will continue to make things 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:04.200 rougher and rougher and rougher. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.920 The Iranians believe that they can. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.680 Wait this out to the midterms and get him to 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.000 lose the midterms and go after him and destroy him. 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.360 Why would they want to destroy him, because they want 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:21.800 to destroy anybody who might destroy them. It's only a 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.400 reason to get rid of the regime and not put 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.680 up with this nonsense. But Jake Tapper seems to miss 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.080 the moment that it is the regime that tried to 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:35.600 kill our president. Doesn't matter who the president is, because 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.920 if it does, that's the sign of somebody who isn't 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.520 actually a good American. That's the sign of a partisan, 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:49.120 scumbag Democrat or Republican. You come at our president, we 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:53.280 come at you, and we come at you at one thousandfold. 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.680 If this is not our philosophy, we really are a 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:58.360 broken nation. 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.720 The job of the Secret Service is to protect the protectee, 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:05.559 and that's the President of the United States. 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:07.440 That's the job. 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:13.079 And anybody who is flying with, traveling with, or maneuvering 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:17.679 with the President understands that they are an afterthought. 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.760 Anybody who doesn't understand this needs to understand this. 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:28.680 If the President were to be killed and you got 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:33.120 killed in the fifty first paragraph of the story, it 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:39.240 would read also killed that guy. You understand that, right. 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.400 Every member of the Press Corps doesn't understand this. Every 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:47.280 member of the White House staff doesn't understand this. I 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:52.840 didn't say that you should be canon fodder. I didn't 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:57.000 say violence should come upon you. I am saying that 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:02.120 the job of the Secret Service is to protect the 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:03.520 President of the United States. 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:05.520 So you right. 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.800 So the US Secret Service thought the threat against the 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.520 President was strong enough to serve titiously remove him from 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.120 Air Force one and then proceeded to let the plane 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.320 full of White House staffers and reporters. 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.520 Take off and fly back to the US. 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:28.040 And the answer, Jake Tapper, you child, is yes, that's 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:33.000 exactly what happened, because we live in the real world. 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:41.440 The problem, Jake, you child, is that you think the 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:45.200 story here is about Trump and the Secret Service, and 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:50.440 every rational person understands it's about the Islamists and the 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:57.040 Islamic regime in Iran. Maybe this is where you're having 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:01.520 the great break because you believe yourself important. Not only yourself, 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:05.720 you believe that journalists are the most important thing. I 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.079 will tell you that they're not the most important thing, 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:14.439 mainly because the vast majority of them haven't acted as journalists. 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:18.520 In decades, I know how that upsets you. 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.680 Obviously, we now have a couple of moments here where 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:27.280 I've shown where the truth really upsets you. Nobody wants 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.880 these people to be hurt. Nobody wants these people to 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.680 be harmed. I think the way to stop the harm 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.800 where the opportunity for harm is to get rid of 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.400 the Islamist regime and don't allow them in the country. 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:46.200 And don't allow Islamists who have pledged themselves to undo 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.560 the United States of America, to undo Western civilization. Don't 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.920 allow these people in the country, don't allow them power, 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.800 don't allow them to get office, don't vote for them, 0:13:55.200 --> 0:14:02.360 push them out. You're an obvious answer. And when I 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:06.920 give that answer, I get told onmin is islamophobe or 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:12.960 some other line of crap. I understand what's happening around me. 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.400 I am playing in the real politique, not you, Jake. 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:22.400 The choice was the president or the journalist, and they chose. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.040 To protect the president. That was the right choice. 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.680 As upsetting as it may be for you, but no 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:29.960 one should give a damn if. 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.000 You're upset, what were the options? 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.960 Let everybody know that the president wasn't on the plane, 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.040 announced that the president was already back and let the 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:46.240 press fly back later. Which member of the press would 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.160 have kept it quiet. Hey, there's a real threat against 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.080 the president. We had to put him on another plane. 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.400 You show me every member of the press who would 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:54.680 have said, hey, we're not going to say a word. 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.880 We got to make sure the president's safe. They would 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.000 have tweeted, they would have posted, they would have got 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.960 on to their substacks, all of it. And you know it, Jake, 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.440 because not a one of them would say, wait a second, 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.400 we got to make sure he's okay and then we 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:15.600 can report the story. Nope, they would all say, I'm 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.000 reporting the story because I'm a journalist. 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:25.360 And if I can do some harm. Oh oopsie, you 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:26.480 think I'm making that up. 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.760 I think I'm doing a pretty damn good rendition and 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:33.160 impersonation of a lot of the people in your press corps. 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:41.200 And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But the Secret Service wasn't. 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.440 The job is to protect the president and we should 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.200 all be focused on the threat, which is the Eranium 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:53.440 Islamic Islamist regime. That's the threat. That's who we should 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.000 be dealing with. You want to get angry at the 0:15:56.000 --> 0:16:01.720 Secret Service or Trump for protecting him. Jake Tapper, screw you, 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:06.960 you unbelievable child. I swear to you, I'm challenging my 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:10.040 inner Philip Seymour Hoffman when I say that from Charlie 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:16.120 Wilson's War. You child, You're not a man for this world. 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.720 You're not capable of dealing with the threats or even 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.760 understanding the threats. You're so internalizing your emotion and you're 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:27.960 angst you can't accept that the real world requires real choices. 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:32.680 There are no solutions, as Thomas Sowell explains, just trade offs. 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.160 And you may not like the trade off as sure 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:38.920 as I wouldn't like the trade off if it was me. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.280 But I walked in wide eyed, and I knew that 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:45.040 was the case. 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:52.360 Seems that the journalist Jake Tapper forgot what the Secret 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:53.040 Service does. 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.080 I'm Tony Katz, and this is Tony Katz. 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.000 Today the next president, because remember we have right now 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.280 thousands of factories being built. They're being built and they'll 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.320 be opening over the next year, year and a half, 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.720 and whoever the next president is, they'll be. 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.320 Standing up taking credit for what I accomplished. 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.560 So people like you will remember we have more auto 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.480 plans being built right now than in the heyday of 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:17.320 the automobile. 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.920 We hadn't had an auto plant built in forty years. 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.320 Forty years, but many, many years. 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:27.119 We hadn't had one auto plan. Now we haven't built for. 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:32.720 Numbers during the heyday, they couldn't compete with these numbers. 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:34.199 Many other plans too. 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.760 They're all coming in and that's because of a few things. 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.720 It's because of the cut in taxes, but it's really 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.199 because of tariffs. If you want to sell automobiles, you 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.400 have to build the automobile in America. 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.720 If you want to build, if you want to sell automobiles, 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:51.080 you have to build them in America. I don't have 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:55.240 an issue with building automobiles in America, mister President. I'm 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.960 down with building automobiles in America. I'm downing more people 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:05.360 building autobiles in America. But don't ask me to love 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.760 on tariffs. Don't ask me to love on tariffs when 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:12.199 they've also created issues. Tony Katz Tony Kats today an 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:16.240 absolute pleasure. That was the President on with Wayne Allen Root. 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:21.840 I've got the story. What's his name, Kevin O'Leary fish tank? 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:23.280 What's a shark tank? 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:29.440 And fish tank. I'll be getting emails. 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:36.560 And he is saying, you know, if it wasn't for AI, economically, 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:37.480 the country. 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:42.480 Would be schoo It is the. 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:51.160 AI investments that are keeping the tariff issues at bay. 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:54.399 That's why the tariffs haven't been more destructive. I am 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:58.240 absolutely a believer in this. The President's argument is the 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:01.040 tariffs forced people to bring things here and look what 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:06.880 we're building. But my argument has been where are the dollars? 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:17.320 Where are the dollars that show this? When do we see. 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:20.560 The building of more plants, of more everything and mass 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.160 and not just in automotive. This is what people want 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.480 to see see the results of the tariff stall. 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.240 I'll be okay, keep it here. I'm Tony Katz. 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:34.600 Bit of good news in a sea of total insanity. 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:43.080 Tony Katz, Tony Katz. Today, Robert Gilman, military veteran, has 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:54.000 been detained or was detained by Russia in twenty twenty two, 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:00.199 convicted of beating a police officer after being taken off 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:03.920 a train for causing a disturbance, and then got convicted 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:07.760 of attacking a prisoner inspector during a cel check, beating 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:13.800 an investigator and an assault guard. His sentence was extended 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:22.720 to last ten years after he was found guilty. He 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.719 has been released and for the last forty seven days 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:30.439 hasn't been in what is being described reported by Newsmax 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:35.320 as a disassociative stupor because of the abuse of the 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:36.560 abuse he suffered in prison. 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:40.960 He's from Massachusetts. 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:48.120 I there's a lot here and we're gonna learn more 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:57.119 about him. The last time we saw somebody in this 0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:07.240 kind of shape was the guy who was released from 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:13.240 North Korea. North Korea. Auto Wumber never regained consciousness after 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.920 his return to the US, never once. 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:20.760 It is not U. 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:26.120 It is not for us to take these things as if, oh, well, 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:29.439 there's nothing we can do, Tony. Can you turn around 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:33.639 and can you fight everybody the way they need to 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:37.119 be fought? Can you really handle all of this? Let 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:39.640 me let me get to that first. I'm glad this 0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:43.280 guy has been released. I hope he will. 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.080 Be well. I really do. 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:54.960 But I I I shared as good news because released 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:59.040 is better. Now let's see what his real condition is 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:07.120 and we can go from there. Iran believes they can 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:10.439 wait out the president, wait out America, and they believe 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:15.560 they control the entire situation. You have a US military 0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:18.040 helicopter that fired at the rudder of a Panama flag 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:21.560 ship because the crew ignored warnings from personnel enforcing the 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:27.960 naval blockade. This, according to the Wall Street Journal, Iran 0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:32.480 has said, we're not negotiating with the US anymore. We're done. 0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.800 We've done everything we're going to do. You're the ones 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.800 who have the problem. We don't have the problem. We're 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.320 just going to keep the straight closed. We're going to 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:44.520 make your life very very difficult. Oil prices right now 0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:47.720 at eighty three dollars and five cents a barrel over eighty, 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:50.879 the president cannot say everything's going well. 0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:58.359 Far from it. And just earlier, just earlier, when I 0:22:58.400 --> 0:22:59.280 say earlier, just. 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:05.160 Yesterday, the president is out there saying that we are 0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:09.960 full control of the Strait of Hormos. We control it 0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:12.959 one hundred percent. This is the president from the oval. 0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.040 The only one that has control of the strait of 0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:18.840 her moves right now is the United States Navy. We 0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:22.520 have a blockade that's been infallible. It's a steel wall, 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:25.000 and we let people in that we want to let in, 0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:28.000 and those people come in and they've been coming in 0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:30.320 and they're going out. So it's actually open. 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:30.560 Now. 0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:33.399 We do not let them go into Iran, they not 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:36.240 admit it into the strait to go to a run, 0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:42.600 but it's open for others. Now a little bit complex 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.520 because they will on occasion drop a mind and we 0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:46.280 find the minds. 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:49.720 You know, we've mind swept the entire strait, as you. 0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:54.920 Probably maybe heard, maybe you didn't hear, but we control 0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:59.160 the straight one hundred percent. Now, can they make trouble, yeah, 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:02.520 they can make trouble, but they're broke. They have no money. 0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:07.000 You know, Oran has broke, totally broke, and they're not 0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:11.160 paying their soldiers. They have inflation of three hundred percent 0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:13.879 of last night, I had three hundred, three hundred and 0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:14.600 nine percent. 0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:16.840 So we'll see what happens. 0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:20.480 But they've been bad for it. They say forty seven 0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:23.399 is actually fifty Now forty seven they've been saying it 0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:26.800 for three years. But for fifty years they've been the 0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:27.800 bully of the Middle East. 0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:28.800 What they've done is terrible. 0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:33.119 They've killed hundreds of thousands of people. They've killed people, 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:35.760 they've wounded and named people with the legs of the arms, 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:39.280 you know, with the roadside bombers, their momb they're very 0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:42.040 proud of it and now. 0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:42.800 They're paying a price. 0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:45.399 Thank you very much, everybody. 0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:50.400 Well, thank you, mister President. How do we control the Strait? 0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:59.400 How possibly do we control the Strait when oil prices 0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:04.240 are this high. It's a very very hard thing to 0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:08.840 put together. It's a hard thing to try and understand. 0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:16.320 And you don't have the people believing you, sir, that's 0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:26.440 the problem. They do not believe you. The Iranians have decided, 0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:33.520 this regime has decided that they can wait us out. 0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:37.640 They have decided that they can. 0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:40.680 Last and last and last, and that. 0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:44.080 The pressure is too much and too great for the 0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:52.679 United States to bear because we won't handle high oil prices. Well, 0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:57.040 I'm not somebody who buys into that or believes that 0:25:57.119 --> 0:26:00.600 at all. I believe that the story has to be 0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:03.080 told and the story has to be sold, and I 0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:05.560 believe that the President has not done a good job 0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:12.760 of this. I believe that the President has missed, He 0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:23.440 has missed greatly in doing so, and that has been 0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:26.879 a problem for him. But I also allow me to 0:26:26.880 --> 0:26:33.800 say that the idea that we would have Iran thinking 0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:41.040
