My god, our country works like this. 185 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 4: It's unbelievable. It is the most unbelievable feeling in the universe. 186 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 3: Holy cow, is that amazing. It's like later that evening, 187 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 3: it's close. 188 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 4: I don't even know what time it was, and I'm outside, 189 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 4: I'm waiting for my ride, and there's the capital just 190 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 4: shimmering there, It's like, this is how can you not 191 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 4: be romantic about it? I'm driving back afterwards. The Capitol 192 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 4: is to my left ord ve I forget the street 193 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 4: right now there's the Supreme Court on the right. 194 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 3: It's just like awesome, it's unbelievable, it's amazing.

And the 200 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 4: acoustics were not perfect. It's better when you watch it 201 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 4: on TV. You care more when you're on TV. The 202 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 4: acoustics are not great. I miss some things, but I 203 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 4: the way the the the chamber split the Republicans. 204 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 3: If you're staring at the president, the Republicans are. 205 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 4: On the right and the Progressives are on the left, 206 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 4: which means the Progressives were right in front of me. 207 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 3: And I was able to get. 208 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 4: A bird's eye view of speaking of facial expressions of 209 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 4: motions from today's Democratic Party, complete view who was directly 210 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 4: in my line of sight? I mean, if you were 211 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 4: if you don't think you're looking straight down, you're looking 212 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 4: you're looking out. 213 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: Right, You're looking out like over a view or over 214 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 3: a over a vista.

And who is in my line 216 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 3: of sight? 217 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 4: Ilhano mar and Rashida talib Bam right there they are 218 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 4: directly like like nobody else. Eric Swalwan wasn't there. Bernie 219 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 4: Sanders wasn't there. I did with the guy next to me. 220 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 4: He was from Virginia. 221 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: Nice dude. We we did play arousing round of Where's Waldo? 222 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 3: The John Fetterman edition and we did find him, but 223 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 3: he was in a suit, so it was a little difficult. 224 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 4: It was a little difficult. There was no hoodie. Then 225 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 4: we also spy. I did see Michael Knowles. I didn't 226 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 4: get to say hi.

This guy next to me didn't know. We 231 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 3: don't know each other. 232 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 4: Like that's the guy from Shark Tank, isn't it. He 233 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 4: was a He had better seats than me. I don't 234 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 4: know what that's all about. Do I start wearing two watches. 235 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 3: Now ridiculous. But I have this like, all right, I'm. 236 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 4: Sad that I can't see the facial expressions the Trump 237 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 4: and everything else and see how he's he's you know, 238 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 4: gearing up for things and ramping up for things. But 239 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 4: I'm like, this is this is what Trump sees. This 240 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 4: is what he's looking at. This is a very cool 241 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 4: way to see the speech. Now, if you're not somebody 242 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 4: who does what I do for a living, I think 243 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 4: you're infuriated. 244 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 3: I get invited to the State of the Union and 245 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 3: what's this. I can't see anything and this is ridiculous. 246 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 3: I am there. 247 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 4: There's this brass rail, right, There's this brass rail there, 248 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 4: and I'm trying to like a giant bottle of water, 249 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,719 Speaker 4: I'll pretend it's the brass rail, and I'm like this, 250 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 4: I am delighted. I am tickled by what I am 251 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 4: seeing until I start seeing what I'm seeing. 252 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 5: Now. 253 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 4: I'm going to start somewhere in the middle because I 254 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 4: want to be clear that Representative Ilhan Omar called President 255 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 4: Trump a sick blank. 256 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 3: It starts with the letter F on the floor. 257 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 4: While he was speaking, I think he was talking about 258 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 4: the Somalis and fraud in Minneapolis. I think that was 259 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 4: the moment she called him a sick blank. She did 260 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 4: what she did. It happened. Everyone's talking about the yelling out, 261 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 4: everyone's talking about how they were shouting out and the rest. 262 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 4: So we are clear she called him a sick blank. 263 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 4: And those two did not stop squawking. They didn't stop, 264 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 4: they didn't get close to stopping. 265 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 3: It was nuts. 266 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 4: And for some things, they weren't the only ones. But 267 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 4: if any Democrat was trying to listen, you couldn't. And 268 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 4: there was there was one moment where some member the 269 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 4: Democratic part I. 270 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 3: Don't I don't know her, I don't know her name. 271 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 3: She's turned. 272 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 4: So let let's say she's facing this way, right, facing 273 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 4: this way right here, she's turned to face the Republicans 274 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 4: to her, to her right, and she is yelling. 275 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: She's in a full yell. 276 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 4: And all I hear is Anna Paulina Luna, who's sitting 277 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 4: next to Tim Burchett, and and and Lauren Bobert. 278 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 3: So for Congressman Tim. 279 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 4: Burchett, nice seating, nice nice way, producier landing a little 280 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 4: something please for a representative Burchette rovit simo well done, 281 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 4: well well played. 282 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 3: All I hear her say is turn around, turn around. 283 00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 3: It got loud, loud, It was. 284 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 4: As much as one should be in this place and 285 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 4: be like, I can't believe this is this is These 286 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 4: people are so fortunate they get to do what they 287 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 4: do in this place that we are, in this nation 288 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 4: that we have.

I'm not 324 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 4: saying that every state should be a state that is 325 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 4: supportive of data centers. I am saying that the mom 326 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 4: mentality against data centers is ridiculous. 327 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 3: It's ridiculous, and it's. 328 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 4: On the right as well as it's on the left, 329 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 4: and it is it's nonsense. 330 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 3: It is all nimby. 331 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 4: Get off my lawn, everybody who is the anti data 332 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 4: center and this mob mentality is nothing more than a 333 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 4: Karen upset that they didn't get a second scoop of 334 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 4: ice cream or big enough second scoop. If Basket Robinson 335 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 4: wants to speak to a manager, that's my concern. I'll 336 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 4: talk more about it. Because it's Tonycot's toy. 337 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 6: They never had to prove that problem, to prove that 338 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 6: point here with us tonight. It's a group of winners 339 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 6: who just made the entire nation crowd, the men's gold 340 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 6: medal Olympic. 341 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 3: Hockey team come on here and the doors open up 342 00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,959 Speaker 3: in their USA sweaters. 343 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 4: And Trump looking over at the Democrats saying, I need 344 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 4: nothing you could do to stop me kitting. 345 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 3: I let you out of your mind. This was some 346 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 3: seriously loud cheering in the room. 347 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 6: It was. 348 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 3: It was very cool. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good 349 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 3: to be here, Good to be with you. 350 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 4: If you ask, you know, like I could say. His 351 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 4: speech went an hour forty seven minutes. I would have 352 00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 4: liked for it to been shorter. But the purpose and 353 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 4: the point of it all was these moments. The Medal 354 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 4: of Honor recipients, the Medal of Freedom recipients. Look at 355 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 4: these people who have fought for us and got wounded 356 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 4: for us. Look at the let us notice them. The 357 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 4: mother of Irina Serutska, Arina Rutska, who was stabbed to 358 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 4: death on that light rail in Charlotte, the parents of 359 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 4: National Guard troops who were shot and killed while patrolling Washington, 360 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 4: d C. And awarding them possimously the purple heart. Trump 361 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 4: does an extremely good job of We never forget. But 362 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 4: what we are discussing is the idea of rallying around us, 363 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 4: that we are good, that we do things that are good, 364 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 4: that we remember those who do good, That we celebrate victory, 365 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 4: we celebrate strength, we celebrate dominance, we celebrate power, we 366 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 4: celebrate decency, We celebrate this American experience and these Americans, 367 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 4: and so we should. And what it creates is the 368 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 4: massive contrast to a left that despises all these things, 369 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 4: that never wants to celebrate, always wants to denigrate these things. 370 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 3: This was about uplift, This wasn't. 371 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 4: Just about, Hey, come to the White House and bring 372 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 4: me a hockey sweater and we'll we'll and we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll. 373 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 3: Take a photo. Would be great. Now, this. 374 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 4: This was about this is American awesome. You know how 375 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 4: good America is doing. Gold medal against Canada and overtime. 376 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 4: That's how we're doing. And not just the men, the 377 00:22:50,880 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 4: women first. Huge celebrate victory, all right ahead. The left 378 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 4: doesn't celebrate victory. The left doesn't celebrate strength. So that 379 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 4: was a huge part of this. Here is a US 380 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 4: I believe it was an army captain. I don't want 381 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 4: to get the branch wrong. He's one hundred years old 382 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 4: and for his service in lasting in Vietnam, he's now 383 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 4: going to get the Medal of Freedom. The place went nuts. 384 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 4: The place went out of its mind when that took place. 385 00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 4: There were these two different moments where Trump presented the 386 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 4: Medal of Honor. The Medal of Honor honors to the military, 387 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 4: freedom is to civilians. And two people got a Medal 388 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 4: of Honor last night, Army Chief Warrant Officer Eric Slover. 389 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 4: He got the decoration for how he handled and dealt 390 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,479 Speaker 4: with things in the capture of Nicholas Maduro. I did 391 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 4: not know that helicopters were shot at to the point 392 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 4: where people were hit repeatedly. And let me tell you 393 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 4: where I was sitting at the State of the Union. 394 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 4: This guy was not there near where the First Lady is, 395 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 4: where they usually received guests and notice people and mentioned people. No, no, no, 396 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 4: he was straight ahead of me because he couldn't get 397 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 4: through those doors and down those stairs. He needed the 398 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 4: landing because he's got the boot. He's in a walker. 399 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 4: What you didn't see is you didn't see two generals. 400 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 4: Generals helped this guy down from the walker to sit 401 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 4: down into his wheelchair where he was wincing in pain, 402 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 4: real pain. 403 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 3: It must have been a. 404 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 4: Real pain to stand there on the walker. We have 405 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 4: no idea how much he was clearly injured. It was 406 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 4: President Trump told us the story last night. That guy 407 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 4: got some applause, but Navy captain. It was Navy, not Army. 408 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 4: Navy Captain Elmer Royce Williams receiving the Medal of Honor 409 00:25:54,800 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 4: on I don't think I I heard more applause than that. 410 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 3: I don't think there was more. 411 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 4: Applause for anything than that guy who was smiling. 412 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 3: I don't know if you can go beyond ear to ear. 413 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 4: He's one hundred right, it's one hundred years old, and 414 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 4: here he is with his country saying we see you 415 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 4: and thank you. It's it was a moment, and it 416 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 4: was if we're going to engage this politically, which we do, 417 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 4: an absolute win on every level for Trump, for Republicans, 418 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 4: for America. The left has no way to counter what 419 00:26:54,040 --> 00:27:00,479 Speaker 4: our actual joy and vibes. You know, we're in the narrative, right, 420 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 4: we are in the silly narrative season where the left 421 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 4: ones and tell us what it is. We're thinking, try 422 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 4: and try all you want. We've been through this. We're 423 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 4: not buying into this anymore. You know what we saw. 424 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 4: We saw a US hockey team, guys just starting their lives, 425 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 4: celebrating like guys do. And then we saw a guy 426 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 4: who could be close to the same age. We took 427 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 4: a different path, didn't play hockey, but put on a uniform, 428 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 4: served his country and almost lost his life. Still can't 429 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 4: stand without the use of a walker, received the honor 430 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 4: for putting himself on the line for us. And then 431 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 4: we saw that America doesn't forget with a retired Navy 432 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 4: captain who's. 433 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 3: One hundred years old. 434 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 4: If you can't understand those visuals and recognize that those 435 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 4: visuals connect and recognize that Democrats don't have anything. 436 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 3: What are they going to show us? 437 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 4: They going to show us another member of Congress who's 438 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 4: a man who claims to be a woman. What possibly 439 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 4: are they going to show us? You know, they had 440 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 4: counterprogram programming of the State of the Union. They had 441 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 4: a guy in a giraffe costume screaming at everybody. 442 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 3: What you think are gonna make that up? 443 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 4: You think I could ever possibly come up with the 444 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 4: words of my own? Yeah, so this guy's wearing a 445 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 4: giraffe costume. No, no, no, no, that doesn't happen. If 446 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 4: you ever hear me say so there's this guy in 447 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 4: a giraffe costume, you could be rest assured that my 448 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 4: next line is, hey, well, bring the bomb back over here. 449 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 3: That's what's happening. So we're all clear. 450 00:28:55,320 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 4: The uh messaging was knockout stuff, knockout stuff. 451 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 3: And that was the points. 452 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 4: Why bring in the family of Areno Zarutska because this 453 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 4: woman was killed because Democrats won't do anything about crime. 454 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 4: Why bring us young girls who were transitioned by schools 455 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 4: and then put into a kind of a prison esque 456 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 4: system where she was housed with boys that she was 457 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 4: physically abused because adults did this to her. 458 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 3: And Democrats support it because as we are. 459 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 4: Going to get into, wait till you see what they 460 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 4: cheered and what they didn't cheer. It was good messaging, 461 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,479 Speaker 4: but nothing beat the messaging of you know, things are 462 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,959 Speaker 4: going well right now. I will argue that things are 463 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 4: not going perfect. I will argue when the president says 464 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 4: inflation's down to one point seven percent, big mistake, don't 465 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 4: do that first. Inflation's not down to one point seven percent. 466 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 4: I don't care what Scott Besson says. And by the way, 467 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 4: in every single conversation I have with anyone who has 468 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 4: ever been connected to Besson's, they say what I absolutely 469 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 4: believe to be true. Scott Besson is the adult in 470 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 4: the room. That guy is spectacular. I wholeheartedly agree. But 471 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 4: don't tell me inflations under control? Why because it's a 472 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 4: dumb thing to say when inflation goes up next month. 473 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 4: Now you're stuck with those words. We're working every day 474 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 4: to bring inflation down, to keep inflation under control. Really focused. 475 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 4: Now we think that interest rate should be lower, and 476 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 4: shame on Jerome Powell for not helping to spur more economy, 477 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 4: and shame on democrats. And Trump did say this, why 478 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 4: do they shut down the government? They cost us two 479 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 4: points of GDP? Two points of GDP they cost us. 480 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 4: Why do you think they're shutting things down with the 481 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 4: Department of Homeland Security? They want to hurt the country, 482 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 4: perfectly said, line perfectly said. But you bring all these people. 483 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 3: Up to show the divide first. 484 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 4: You bring people up to show America's might, America's success, 485 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 4: and America supporting and cheering the might and success. We're 486 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 4: not embarrassed by it. We think it's freaking awesome. We 487 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 4: like the success. We want the success. We want more success. 488 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 4: Go get success.

Really, 614 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 2: it's plundering America. There's been no more stunning example than Minnesota, 615 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 2: where members of the Somali community have pillaged and estimated 616 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 2: nineteen billion dollars from the America taxpayer. 617 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 3: We have all the information. 618 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 2: And in actuality the number is much higher than that. 619 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 2: In California, Massachusetts, Maine, and many other states are even worse. 620 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,800 Speaker 2: This is the kind of corruption that shreads the fabric 621 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 2: of a nation, and we are working on it like 622 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 2: you wouldn't believe. 623 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 4: Work faster.

Importing these cultures through unrestricted 644 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 2: immigration and open borders brings those problems right here to 645 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 2: the USA. And it is the American people who pay 646 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 2: the price in higher medical bills, car insurance rates, rent taxes, 647 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 2: and perhaps most importantly crime. 648 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,240 Speaker 4: Now let's go back to Chuck Schumer saying that President 649 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,800 Speaker 4: Trump didn't address these things. 650 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:42,439 Speaker 3: He just did. 651 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,879 Speaker 4: Now, if you want to argue that he's wrong about 652 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 4: the data. Go right ahead, But that isn't what Chuck 653 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 4: Schumer said. What Chuck Schumer said is this is not 654 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 4: the speech you're looking for. As if in any way 655 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:04,240 Speaker 4: he could be a Jedi, that's Chuck Schumer in this story. 656 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,280 Speaker 4: If we're doing Star Wars comparisons, is Jar Jar Binks 657 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 4: just making sure we all understand what's going on here, 658 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 4: or or he's that that general who gets choked to 659 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 4: death by Vader. I don't know who that guy was, 660 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 4: but he's one of those two.

He wants to change the subject, but 664 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 4: it is. 665 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 3: A very hard thing to do. It's very difficult to 666 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 3: change the subject. 667 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 4: And as you heard as President Trump was speaking, you 668 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 4: heard this, these these voices in the in the background. 669 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:50,319 Speaker 3: That was. 670 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,799 Speaker 4: The Democrats screaming at Trump.

So we'll 833 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 4: find out what we find out. I'm Tony knts three 834 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,320 Speaker 4: more things I need to get to. These are stories 835 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 4: that should be front page news that are not necessarily 836 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,880 Speaker 4: although I think they could be. First, let me go 837 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,319 Speaker 4: back to the State of the Union, because Preacher land 838 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 4: And asked me to get into this. What in the 839 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:31,040 Speaker 4: world is with Representative al Green? Al Green is disgusting 840 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 4: and al Green is proof that people don't pay attention 841 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,799 Speaker 4: to candidates. They just take a look at identifying characteristics 842 00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,120 Speaker 4: and vote. You can say this anywhere. You can say 843 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,720 Speaker 4: this about a lot of people. It's absolutely true about 844 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:50,000 Speaker 4: al Green. Al Green as President Trump walks by, unfurls 845 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,240 Speaker 4: a sign. Now you got to understand that Representative Algreen 846 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,200 Speaker 4: is the guy who got thrown out of the House 847 00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 4: chamber last year during the State of the Union. He 848 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,239 Speaker 4: thinks he's smart, he thinks he's tough, he's a he's 849 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:06,799 Speaker 4: a he's a he's gross. It's not that he disagrees, 850 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:19,520 Speaker 4: disagreement is fine. It's that he likes spectacle. He likes spectacle. 851 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,279 Speaker 4: He wants a spectacle. And that's why I say this 852 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:28,040 Speaker 4: about Representative ilhan ohmar ilhan Oh Maar screamed out at 853 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,600 Speaker 4: the State of the Union, upset with Donald Trump and 854 00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 4: called him a sick blank starts with the letter F. 855 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:40,359 Speaker 4: She said the words, I am surprised you to get 856 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 4: kicked out. I saw it. I heard it. 857 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:49,080 Speaker 3: I was there. She can deny it all she wants. 858 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,480 Speaker 3: It happened. I'm gonna go to my grave with that. 859 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 3: I saw her do it. 860 00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:04,400 Speaker 4: Al Green unfurls a sign group like a scroll, and 861 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:10,320 Speaker 4: the sign reads black people aren't apes, say reference to 862 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 4: a video posted by President Trump on his social media 863 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:17,000 Speaker 4: feed a Truth Social And as the video ends, it 864 00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,320 Speaker 4: rolls into another video and what you see is Baraka 865 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:26,439 Speaker 4: Michelle Obama being depicted as cartoon apes. Now, anybody who 866 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:33,320 Speaker 4: had done any looking into this knows that there's a 867 00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:42,360 Speaker 4: video out there. There's a video out there of politicians 868 00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,680 Speaker 4: as members of the jungle, the jungle community. 869 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 3: And then Trump is the lion, He's the king of 870 00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:50,080 Speaker 3: the jungle. 871 00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:55,400 Speaker 4: And as the king of the jungle, everybody's bowing down. 872 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,080 Speaker 3: Tom That's what the video is from. 873 00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,680 Speaker 4: It's like it's just rolling into another video, so really 874 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:04,800 Speaker 4: having nothing to do with President Trump. The video he posted, 875 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 4: which was about elections and machines having issues, I. 876 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:09,520 Speaker 3: Thought it was ridiculous. 877 00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,960 Speaker 4: You think he decided to post a video where he's 878 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,040 Speaker 4: going to compare the only black president and his wife 879 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:21,560 Speaker 4: to apes. Everybody's insane. I have nothing left to say. 880 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,160 Speaker 4: It was a dumb video that he posted. It is 881 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:29,600 Speaker 4: ridiculous and unfortunate and gross that happens. And most importantly, 882 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 4: anybody who then took a look at what's happening here, 883 00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 4: we it's over Al Green holds up a sign black 884 00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:43,880 Speaker 4: people aren't apes. He should have been physically tossed from 885 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 4: the chamber. And I will tell you that some people 886 00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 4: tried to grab the sign. Steve Scalise tried to grab 887 00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 4: the sign from him as he's walking behind President Trump 888 00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:56,720 Speaker 4: because President Trump just dismissed him, walked right by him, 889 00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:00,520 Speaker 4: and Scalise wasn't able to grab it. Center Mark Wayne 890 00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 4: Mullin walked over to Al Green. Mark Wayne Mullin's not 891 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:08,160 Speaker 4: a small cat, right For those of you who listened 892 00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,320 Speaker 4: to the show on KRMG, he did it, and he 893 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,000 Speaker 4: tried to grab the sign. 894 00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:14,840 Speaker 3: Oh, I want to know. 895 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,680 Speaker 4: The words that were said. And then after a while 896 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:23,960 Speaker 4: there were seats in front of al Green and Senator 897 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,400 Speaker 4: of Mullins, I forget the other senator moved their seats 898 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,200 Speaker 4: to stand in front of him. They're gonna stand in 899 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 4: front of him the whole time. At that moment, somebody 900 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,040 Speaker 4: else came over and told al Green that he has 901 00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 4: to leave. Al Green should have been removed from the 902 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,680 Speaker 4: chamber by the speaker. It was a miss from the 903 00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,440 Speaker 4: Speaker of the House. He should have done that. He 904 00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,640 Speaker 4: should have done it immediately and set the tone. Well, 905 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,040 Speaker 4: if you do that, Tony here bringing more attention to it, 906 00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,120 Speaker 4: with all due respect, I live in the world of 907 00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:59,080 Speaker 4: social media. There's already attention to it. That's al Green. 908 01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 4: All this talk Trump, racist Trump, sexist Trump, Nazi Trump, 909 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:10,880 Speaker 4: destroying democracy, a third assassination attempt. The desire is more 910 01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:15,320 Speaker 4: assassination attempts. That's their desire. This only goes in one direction. 911 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:17,960 Speaker 4: How many more ways do we have to see that 912 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:19,920 Speaker 4: these people are desperate to call out a lone wolf. 913 01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:26,720 Speaker 4: It is what it is. What it is. That's not 914 01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 4: the only story out there. There is pressure on Representative 915 01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:36,800 Speaker 4: Tony Gonzalez to resign because the story is Representative Gonzales 916 01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:40,080 Speaker 4: of Texas, who I know very little about, had an 917 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 4: affair with a staffer who later killed herself. So there 918 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 4: are Republicans who want him to resign or at least 919 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,520 Speaker 4: to end his reelection campaign. The resign is a tough 920 01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:55,560 Speaker 4: one because now Republicans don't have controlled the House. There 921 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:57,800 Speaker 4: are people who can have a campaign for him now 922 01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:01,880 Speaker 4: distancing themselves. So it's NBC News with the reporting in 923 01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:05,480 Speaker 4: this one said the Office of Congressional Conduct is going 924 01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:11,240 Speaker 4: to send a report to the House of Ethics Committee. 925 01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,000 Speaker 4: It's against House's Code of conduct for members to have 926 01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:21,600 Speaker 4: sexual relations with staff members. So that's the story that 927 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:26,760 Speaker 4: there may have been a relationship, an affair that he 928 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:41,360 Speaker 4: had with a staffer. And then that woman did she 929 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:43,080 Speaker 4: set herself on fire? 930 01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:45,680 Speaker 3: Is she that woman? 931 01:01:48,840 --> 01:02:01,000 Speaker 4: I think she's that woman, Regina santos Ovolis. She was 932 01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:06,680 Speaker 4: a staffer of Tony Gonzalez and she set herself on 933 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:16,440 Speaker 4: fire in her backyard this September twenty twenty five. Now, 934 01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,720 Speaker 4: she says she discovered that her Australian husband was romantically 935 01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 4: involved with her best friend. She died the following morning. 936 01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:35,080 Speaker 4: Medical examiner rules her death of suicide. The husband blames 937 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,760 Speaker 4: Gonzales for contributing to the collapse of their marriage and 938 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:40,720 Speaker 4: accused him of an abusive power. 939 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:47,000 Speaker 3: It's really a story here. 940 01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,680 Speaker 4: I'm going to make the assumption that political reality is 941 01:02:51,720 --> 01:03:02,160 Speaker 4: going to win out, at least right now, that they 942 01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:03,960 Speaker 4: need to hold onto the house, and they're not going 943 01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,400 Speaker 4: to try and move him out. Maybe try and get 944 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:14,040 Speaker 4: him to not run for reelection. Maybe then there's a 945 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:20,120 Speaker 4: story that you can't sue the post office. And I 946 01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,560 Speaker 4: did not know that this was a thing. This is 947 01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:27,800 Speaker 4: codis blog. Court holds that the US Postal Service can't 948 01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:32,640 Speaker 4: be sued over intentionally misdelivered mail. Now, wait a second, 949 01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:40,720 Speaker 4: we're not talking about when they accidentally put my catalog 950 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,840 Speaker 4: in the neighbor's mailbox. And I know what you're saying 951 01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:48,800 Speaker 4: to me, Tony who still gets catalogs? And I will 952 01:03:48,800 --> 01:04:02,040 Speaker 4: say to you, I like the Adam and Eve Winter collection. No, yes, Wait, 953 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,560 Speaker 4: is this why we don't have more syndicated stations? 954 01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 3: Is this what? 955 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:05,800 Speaker 2: Now? 956 01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,960 Speaker 3: You get a rolling Screw it, guys, this is the 957 01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,600 Speaker 3: show we do. This is this is it? 958 01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:12,840 Speaker 4: You know? 959 01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:13,480 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? 960 01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:13,800 Speaker 5: I don't know. 961 01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:16,200 Speaker 3: I don't know what to tell you. I don't I 962 01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:25,720 Speaker 3: don't know what this is. This is it, enjoy It's 963 01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:27,120 Speaker 3: a five to four decision. 964 01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,560 Speaker 4: So a law that protects the US Postal Service from 965 01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:36,000 Speaker 4: lawsuits over miscarried, lost or miscarried mail bars lawsuits over 966 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:41,720 Speaker 4: mail that was intentionally misdelivered. And there's a descent written 967 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:45,960 Speaker 4: by sod mao Or Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Neil Gorsuch. 968 01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:54,080 Speaker 4: She argues that the majority opinion provides the Postal Service 969 01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,440 Speaker 4: more protection from lawsuits than Congress and intended to give 970 01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,720 Speaker 4: it quote. It is not the role of the judiciary. 971 01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,080 Speaker 4: It's I had the choice Congress made because it would 972 01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:03,000 Speaker 4: have chosen differently. 973 01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:07,440 Speaker 3: Well, I would like to see the court live up 974 01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,760 Speaker 3: to that one. But I did not. 975 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,240 Speaker 4: Know that there was a law that protects the Postal 976 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,640 Speaker 4: Service from lawsuits over lost from it's carried mail. 977 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:19,120 Speaker 3: But this is. 978 01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:27,080 Speaker 4: Different intentionally intentionally misdelivered. What is this to is this 979 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:34,120 Speaker 4: the I'm assuming this is the original script to Goodfellas 980 01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:43,600 Speaker 4: they stopped sending the mail altogether. I I do love 981 01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:52,160 Speaker 4: the arcane, and that is pretty dang arcane. Then there's this, 982 01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:56,440 Speaker 4: This is a bit of polling and what does the 983 01:05:56,440 --> 01:06:00,040 Speaker 4: polling tell us? The polling tells us that we go 984 01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,400 Speaker 4: back to two thousand and one and we take a 985 01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:04,640 Speaker 4: look at the question how proud are you to be 986 01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:08,280 Speaker 4: an American? Extremely proud, very proud, moderately proud, only a 987 01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:12,040 Speaker 4: little proud, or not proud at all? It has three lines, 988 01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:15,760 Speaker 4: a red line for Republican, a kind of greenish grayish 989 01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:21,800 Speaker 4: line for independence, and a blue line for Democrats. And 990 01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:25,240 Speaker 4: what you will see is something we talk about all 991 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:31,000 Speaker 4: the time. What you will see is that the Republican 992 01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 4: Party has basically stayed constant somewhere between eighty seven somewhere 993 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:45,680 Speaker 4: between eighty and one hundred percent since two thousand and one, 994 01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:51,600 Speaker 4: past twenty five years. Mostly proud to be an American? 995 01:06:53,760 --> 01:07:00,600 Speaker 4: Independence went from the eighties down to the Fiftiescrats went 996 01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:10,200 Speaker 4: from eighty seven percent down to thirty six percent. Why 997 01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:14,680 Speaker 4: is this graph important, Well, Tony, it tells us exactly 998 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,320 Speaker 4: the kind of horrible things that are taught in school 999 01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:18,720 Speaker 4: that make people. 1000 01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:19,200 Speaker 3: Be an American. 1001 01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:24,640 Speaker 4: Yes, I will agree with that, But also what it 1002 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 4: tells us is everything we've said about the right not 1003 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 4: changing its position the left has just gotten further left 1004 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,640 Speaker 4: is true. There's a right, and there's a left, and 1005 01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,880 Speaker 4: then there's the center. What has happened is the right 1006 01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:37,920 Speaker 4: hasn't gone far right. The right has been and the 1007 01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:40,960 Speaker 4: polling shows it, the data shows it exactly where it's been. 1008 01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:43,880 Speaker 4: The left has gone further left, so the center has 1009 01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:45,960 Speaker 4: seemed more right. So the center has to now come 1010 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,000 Speaker 4: to the center, which has moved more to the left. 1011 01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,560 Speaker 4: And therefore people who have stayed right where they are 1012 01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,080 Speaker 4: are now called the far right because look how far 1013 01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:54,800 Speaker 4: the left has moved the center. 1014 01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:02,360 Speaker 3: That'll blow your mind. That's exactly what's happened. 1015 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,120 Speaker 4: Let me answer a question about whether or not Democrats 1016 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:08,840 Speaker 4: were right not to show up to the State of 1017 01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,600 Speaker 4: the Union. That comes up next. Keep it here. 1018 01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,040 Speaker 3: I'm Tony Katz, and this is Tony Katz. 1019 01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,920 Speaker 4: Today, President Trump wanted to do away with insider trading 1020 01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:23,000 Speaker 4: for members of Congress, and what uh yead screaming from 1021 01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,880 Speaker 4: Ilhana mar and Rachida to leave in a bunch of democrats. 1022 01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:26,439 Speaker 3: You do that too? 1023 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 4: Well, how about nobody do that? How about we cheer 1024 01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:37,240 Speaker 4: it and say nobody do that. No insider trading. That's 1025 01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:41,360 Speaker 4: that's a great idea. Let's let's get that done. Tony Katz, 1026 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,040 Speaker 4: Tony Katz today, good to be with you. I was 1027 01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:50,280 Speaker 4: asked a question, and it was a question about the 1028 01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:55,760 Speaker 4: Democrats who didn't show up. Right, a bunch of Democrats 1029 01:08:55,760 --> 01:09:03,240 Speaker 4: decided that they were going to boycott the State of 1030 01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:09,040 Speaker 4: the Union. They look pathetic, weak said pathetic. These are 1031 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:16,920 Speaker 4: are truly truly some beta male people. But someone said, 1032 01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:23,280 Speaker 4: it seems to them that here it is, Jeffrey. It 1033 01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:26,439 Speaker 4: looked to me the Democrats who didn't show up made 1034 01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:30,519 Speaker 4: the correct move. And my point to you is, I 1035 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:36,639 Speaker 4: understand that as a immediate response, right, almost a reflexive response, 1036 01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:40,360 Speaker 4: better not be there at all. Let me give you 1037 01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:42,640 Speaker 4: a counter and just see whether you agree with it 1038 01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:47,599 Speaker 4: or disagree with it. The counter is, by not being there, 1039 01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:56,000 Speaker 4: you made the Democratic Party look weak because they couldn't 1040 01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,479 Speaker 4: mount to any defense. They had no strength in voice. 1041 01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 4: They only had ha after their voice. They were missing 1042 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:08,559 Speaker 4: seventy people. By not being there, President Trump was able 1043 01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:16,000 Speaker 4: to truly overwhelm. They sounded like petulant little children. They 1044 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,479 Speaker 4: sounded like teenage girls upset that they didn't make the 1045 01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:23,960 Speaker 4: cheerleading squad. It's what they sounded like. And that's not 1046 01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:28,559 Speaker 4: a look that as a political party you want. You 1047 01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,880 Speaker 4: don't seem like a strong opposition when you do that, 1048 01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:37,600 Speaker 4: so you can argue they shouldn't have shown up. It 1049 01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,679 Speaker 4: was probably better they didn't show up. What happened there 1050 01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:45,360 Speaker 4: for is that the ground and the landscape was ceded 1051 01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:49,160 Speaker 4: to President Trump to do with what he chose, and 1052 01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:54,200 Speaker 4: he did with it. That's my I was not the 1053 01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:57,840 Speaker 4: first person to make to bring up that take, but 1054 01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:04,800 Speaker 4: I think that take is is accurate, really really is. 1055 01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:10,360 Speaker 4: And there is much more to break down from this 1056 01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:13,280 Speaker 4: State of the Union, and I'm gonna share more stories 1057 01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:15,280 Speaker 4: from what I saw. 1058 01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:19,120 Speaker 3: I gave you some of it as we continue from 1059 01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,040 Speaker 3: d C.

I can read in 1154 01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:48,360 Speaker 4: my eyes closed, I can read. 1155 01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:50,120 Speaker 3: I don't even have to know there's a book. Boom, 1156 01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:51,280 Speaker 3: just read that book right there. 1157 01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,439 Speaker 4: And then he goes about telling people I can't read 1158 01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:56,880 Speaker 4: because of my dyslexia. I'd never heard him discuss having 1159 01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:58,439 Speaker 4: dyslexia a day in his life. 1160 01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:02,559 Speaker 3: Does he actually have dyslexia? I don't know. I have 1161 01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:03,240 Speaker 3: no idea. 1162 01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:06,439 Speaker 4: But he wants to really connect with black voters, even 1163 01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 4: though there weren't black voters in the room. 1164 01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,479 Speaker 3: I can't read, I don't read. You never see me read. 1165 01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,160 Speaker 3: There are pictures of him pretending to read books. 1166 01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:15,760 Speaker 4: I don't know if he's reading it or not, but 1167 01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:17,599 Speaker 4: I think it's pretend, but what does that matter? 1168 01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:21,440 Speaker 3: But it's. 1169 01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,880 Speaker 4: It's David Mammott wrote in the book The Secret Knowledge 1170 01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:29,599 Speaker 4: that if you were to tell the most virulent leftist 1171 01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:35,120 Speaker 4: there is where you're standing, the country you're standing in 1172 01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:36,799 Speaker 4: is going to end in five minutes. 1173 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:38,080 Speaker 3: There is no debate. 1174 01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,240 Speaker 4: The country you're you're standing and is going to end 1175 01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:42,200 Speaker 4: in five minutes. And there are two planes, and so 1176 01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,840 Speaker 4: he wrote this book a few years ago. One plane 1177 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:46,960 Speaker 4: goes to Syria, the other plane goes to Israel. 1178 01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:50,320 Speaker 3: Which plane you're getting on? Now? 1179 01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:54,360 Speaker 4: You know, like I know, like every rational person knows 1180 01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:58,080 Speaker 4: that everybody's getting on the plane to Israel. We're gonna 1181 01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:02,240 Speaker 4: land in Tel Aviv. We're all eating homicid falafel. Everything's 1182 01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:04,920 Speaker 4: gonna be great, and we are gonna party twenty four 1183 01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 4: hours a day, six days a week. 1184 01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,240 Speaker 3: It's gonna be fantastic in Israel. 1185 01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:11,639 Speaker 4: Saturday it's gonna be a little quiet, but Sunday nights 1186 01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:14,800 Speaker 4: are gonna be out rager. It's gonna be amazing, it's 1187 01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:17,960 Speaker 4: gonna be terrific. No one's going to Syria, no one's 1188 01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,479 Speaker 4: going to Iran. Would you go to Israel? Would you 1189 01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:23,720 Speaker 4: go to Iran. No one's going to Iran. The progressive 1190 01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:29,879 Speaker 4: can't say it. I'll give you another example. Ben Affleck 1191 01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:32,639 Speaker 4: was on Bill Maher's show. This was quite a few 1192 01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:37,439 Speaker 4: years ago. This might be a decade or so ago now, No, 1193 01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:39,599 Speaker 4: maybe longer, maybe longer. 1194 01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:41,960 Speaker 3: And Bill Maher. 1195 01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:46,599 Speaker 4: Asked the panel and Ben Affleck, the actor, was on 1196 01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:50,839 Speaker 4: the panel, is capitalism better than communism? Is the American 1197 01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:55,599 Speaker 4: way better than the communist way? And he couldn't answer 1198 01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:58,840 Speaker 4: the question. Take that back. He wouldn't answer the question. 1199 01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,040 Speaker 4: And he wouldn't answer the actually because you couln't answer 1200 01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:02,840 Speaker 4: the question, because to answer the question, well, of course 1201 01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:07,400 Speaker 4: capitalism is better than communism would be bigoted. And even 1202 01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:10,120 Speaker 4: Bill Mahr's like, what's wrong with you? There's only one 1203 01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:14,280 Speaker 4: answer here. But when you are raised not to be bigoted, 1204 01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,599 Speaker 4: that being bigoted is the worst possible thing, you don't 1205 01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:20,519 Speaker 4: say anything it's bigoted. You issue you attack people who 1206 01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:23,040 Speaker 4: engage things that are bigoted, and what happens in that 1207 01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:27,280 Speaker 4: case you make yourself and everyone else stupid. 1208 01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:29,280 Speaker 3: That is the answer. 1209 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,080 Speaker 4: If you are to believe that you can't rank things, 1210 01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:35,920 Speaker 4: that you can't notice that one thing is better than 1211 01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:39,679 Speaker 4: another thing. If that the being bigoted is the greatest 1212 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:44,040 Speaker 4: sin in civilization. How can you possibly be smart because 1213 01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:47,120 Speaker 4: there are no right answers. There's only what feels good, 1214 01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:49,680 Speaker 4: and that's not anything you can build a society with. 1215 01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 4: Can't build a bridge with good feelings, You have to 1216 01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:55,600 Speaker 4: build it with math. There have to be proper answers 1217 01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:58,840 Speaker 4: for how much concrete you pour, how much rebar you need, 1218 01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:03,200 Speaker 4: and how much weight the suspension can hold. Good feelings 1219 01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:10,320 Speaker 4: don't hold cars over water. They just don't. But the 1220 01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:13,880 Speaker 4: left can't bring themselves to do it. They can't bring 1221 01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:17,639 Speaker 4: themselves to say one thing is better than another thing. 1222 01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:22,800 Speaker 4: Everything has to engage moral equivocation. Oh sure they're bad, 1223 01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:28,519 Speaker 4: but look what we did or everything everything has to. 1224 01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:34,880 Speaker 3: Have a connection with something that is wrong. 1225 01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:45,720 Speaker 4: This you may have heard differently in your life intersectionality. 1226 01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:52,519 Speaker 4: When you hear intersectionality like as connected to critical social theory, 1227 01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:57,760 Speaker 4: critical race theory, these things like that, it's the idea that, oh, 1228 01:20:57,760 --> 01:20:59,519 Speaker 4: sure we all do this thing, but you see how 1229 01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:03,920 Speaker 4: it means this thing over here. You're always a racist, 1230 01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:07,639 Speaker 4: You're always a biggot. Everything's always racist, and everything's always bigoted. 1231 01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:11,000 Speaker 4: This brings us to the milk I've got the New 1232 01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:12,479 Speaker 4: York Post story, but you can find the story in 1233 01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:19,639 Speaker 4: a bunch of places. Arthur Kaplan, he teaches bioethics at NYU, 1234 01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:26,040 Speaker 4: New York University. He is going on about the Whole 1235 01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:30,320 Speaker 4: Milk for Healthy Kids Act. It's a bit of congressional 1236 01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:34,080 Speaker 4: legislation signed into law. This goes back to January of 1237 01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:37,320 Speaker 4: twenty twenty sixth. And what it does. It modifies the 1238 01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:41,160 Speaker 4: requirements for milk provided by schools participating in the National 1239 01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:49,240 Speaker 4: School Lunch Program. It's whole milk goes along with conversations 1240 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:54,000 Speaker 4: of Secretary of Robert F. Kennedy about nutrient rich foods 1241 01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,840 Speaker 4: and eating things that are actually valuable for you and 1242 01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:01,720 Speaker 4: good for you and create a value for you. And 1243 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:04,920 Speaker 4: what does he write in his blog that whole milk 1244 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:09,080 Speaker 4: has become a symbol for white supremacists quote Nazis were 1245 01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:14,559 Speaker 4: enamored of whole milk as well. Now at this moment, 1246 01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:17,280 Speaker 4: I realize I should have given you some fair warning 1247 01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:20,000 Speaker 4: because you could be driving your car and right now 1248 01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:23,040 Speaker 4: you've hit directly into a telephone pole. I cannot be 1249 01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:27,040 Speaker 4: held liable, clearly, it's all your fault. I said that 1250 01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:32,320 Speaker 4: for the lawyers the lawyers were pretty insistent that I 1251 01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:34,080 Speaker 4: claim no culpability whatsoever. 1252 01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,160 Speaker 3: The milk is political. 1253 01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:44,880 Speaker 4: He even writes, I am suspicious milk drinking is political. 1254 01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:46,680 Speaker 3: Drinking whole white milk. 1255 01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,599 Speaker 4: Has played a big role in racist and far right 1256 01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:52,320 Speaker 4: thinking in America. Drinking whole milk has for years been 1257 01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:55,479 Speaker 4: a part of alt right white nationalists messaging and tweets, memes, 1258 01:22:55,479 --> 01:23:01,200 Speaker 4: and videos. Arthur Kaplan, Now, I would take this moment 1259 01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:08,599 Speaker 4: to note that my oldest is crazy about cereal and 1260 01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:12,720 Speaker 4: growing up before the college days. And I assume now, 1261 01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:15,280 Speaker 4: I don't think I have asked my oldest, hey, what 1262 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:17,120 Speaker 4: do you need for breakfast? Like like every day can 1263 01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:22,160 Speaker 4: a running log. I figure that kid knows what to 1264 01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:24,320 Speaker 4: eat and what not to eat, and what makes. 1265 01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:25,960 Speaker 3: Them feel good and what makes them feel terrible. 1266 01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:31,240 Speaker 4: And if I have to micromanage adult children on what 1267 01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:33,800 Speaker 4: they're having for breakfast, I've done a terrible job as 1268 01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:39,759 Speaker 4: a father. Last I checked my kid's crazy about the cereal, 1269 01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:44,799 Speaker 4: crazy cuckoo nuts for the cocoa puffs. Loves the cereal. 1270 01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,400 Speaker 4: Now it does any cocoa puffs, but loves the cereal. 1271 01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:54,040 Speaker 4: Uses whole milk. Arthur Kaplan thinks that my son, my 1272 01:23:54,240 --> 01:24:01,559 Speaker 4: Jewish son, is somehow supporting the white nationalists of the 1273 01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:04,479 Speaker 4: neo Nazis. I'd like to have a word with Arthur Kaplan. 1274 01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:08,440 Speaker 4: That isn't going to be kind. Doesn't he know he's stupid? 1275 01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:12,400 Speaker 4: Doesn't he know that's the dumbest thing ever said that 1276 01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:15,400 Speaker 4: There is no intellectual prowess connected with that. 1277 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:16,880 Speaker 3: It's stupid. 1278 01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:21,080 Speaker 4: And you're calling my kid a Nazi, and for that, 1279 01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:25,040 Speaker 4: I think you and I should fight. Oh if you 1280 01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:26,760 Speaker 4: call my kid a Nazi, I think you and I 1281 01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,960 Speaker 4: should fight. I think it should really get rough and tumble. 1282 01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:32,960 Speaker 4: My kid would look at me and say, what do 1283 01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:35,360 Speaker 4: you get into a fight with this loser? For this 1284 01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:38,640 Speaker 4: guy thinks that milk is racist, and then therefore there 1285 01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:40,960 Speaker 4: is no fight, because anybody who thinks milk who's racist 1286 01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:42,080 Speaker 4: is insane. 1287 01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:51,560 Speaker 3: But they never stop. And what happens is. 1288 01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:52,280 Speaker 4: Is that they keep throwing things out into the world 1289 01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:54,040 Speaker 4: and throwing things out into the world, and they keep 1290 01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:58,200 Speaker 4: pushing things out into the world like this, this absolute 1291 01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:01,160 Speaker 4: hateful non sense sense clap. 1292 01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:04,160 Speaker 3: Trap bs kids. 1293 01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:09,639 Speaker 4: They younger people, I'm talking about your young teenagers. They 1294 01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:14,599 Speaker 4: buy in, which brings us to the next story. Tying 1295 01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:20,519 Speaker 4: this all together about the milk. I was talking with 1296 01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:25,920 Speaker 4: some people about AI, artificial intelligence, and I have seen 1297 01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,360 Speaker 4: now this this sweeping thing across the country. I've seen 1298 01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 4: it from the left, like Bernie Sanders is leading the 1299 01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:34,960 Speaker 4: charge for the communists, and he's a communist. Don't say 1300 01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:38,639 Speaker 4: democratic socialist to me again. Just just next thing you're 1301 01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:42,879 Speaker 4: gonna tell me, gender affirming care is reel. It's it's enough. Sure, 1302 01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:49,920 Speaker 4: this anti data center push now, I think there are 1303 01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:53,000 Speaker 4: questions to ask about data centers, right, these massive farms 1304 01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:54,960 Speaker 4: where the AI gets I'm. 1305 01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:55,800 Speaker 3: Gonna say processed. 1306 01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:57,640 Speaker 4: Maybe that's not the best way, but I think it 1307 01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:00,320 Speaker 4: makes it the most digestible, easy to understand what I'm 1308 01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:03,680 Speaker 4: trying to say. And the data farms take a lot 1309 01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:06,920 Speaker 4: of energy, and data farms take water, right, the cooling 1310 01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:09,400 Speaker 4: and everything else. Now it's closed loop system. It's only 1311 01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:11,639 Speaker 4: so much water and it keeps working through and it's 1312 01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:13,519 Speaker 4: only a little bit of ad every now and again. 1313 01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:18,920 Speaker 4: But the very idea that, oh my gosh, these data centers, 1314 01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,960 Speaker 4: they take so much power. We can't have data centers. 1315 01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:25,000 Speaker 4: We need data centers. We live in the world of AI. 1316 01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:26,639 Speaker 4: We need to live in the world of advanced computing. 1317 01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:29,880 Speaker 4: We live in the world of five G. We need 1318 01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:32,760 Speaker 4: data centers. What are we pretending now? If you don't 1319 01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:34,519 Speaker 4: want to be a state that has data centers, Well, 1320 01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:36,760 Speaker 4: what do you want? Is the question I always ask. 1321 01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:38,800 Speaker 4: But I don't know if I'm opposed to data centers 1322 01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:41,719 Speaker 4: just because some mob mentality freak shows opposed to data centers. 1323 01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:44,760 Speaker 4: I don't follow mobs. I don't pay attention to them, 1324 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:46,400 Speaker 4: and yet I see people on the political right in 1325 01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:50,479 Speaker 4: these mobs. I haven't come to a conclusion whether data 1326 01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:53,560 Speaker 4: center is a real problem. I have come to the 1327 01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:58,200 Speaker 4: conclusion that we need the data centers. So with that, 1328 01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:03,960 Speaker 4: this woman recounts the story that her daughter, like one 1329 01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:08,600 Speaker 4: kid is is doing a search or doing looking something 1330 01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,920 Speaker 4: up with it with AI, will like chat GPT, and 1331 01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:17,719 Speaker 4: their other kid says, why are you using chat GPT? 1332 01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:19,000 Speaker 4: You know you're wasting water? 1333 01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:20,880 Speaker 3: What? 1334 01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:21,720 Speaker 5: Oh? 1335 01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:23,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, you use so much water every time you do 1336 01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:29,120 Speaker 4: a search, as if somehow the utilities are utilized only 1337 01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,519 Speaker 4: when you're using AI and not what you're doing just 1338 01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:35,479 Speaker 4: a search on Google and going through the quarry. The 1339 01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:38,080 Speaker 4: real story here is that this kid is like nine 1340 01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:42,120 Speaker 4: or ten, maybe maybe they're they're if I remember at 1341 01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:46,479 Speaker 4: a young teen and they're already being taught that if 1342 01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:53,960 Speaker 4: you utilize AI, you're destroying the planet. The point is 1343 01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,840 Speaker 4: when they bring up, you know, milk is racist, some 1344 01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:04,160 Speaker 4: child believes it, and that is the danger. It is 1345 01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:08,840 Speaker 4: imperative for us to fight these narratives at all moments 1346 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:11,800 Speaker 4: because these people never stop. And it's why you got 1347 01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:13,320 Speaker 4: to keep an eye your kids. It's why you got 1348 01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:14,960 Speaker 4: to determine where they go to school. It's why you 1349 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:16,960 Speaker 4: got to tell them to social media, and you can't 1350 01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:20,200 Speaker 4: send them to NYU. They'll end up stupid and with 1351 01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:23,000 Speaker 4: a calcium deficiency. 1352 01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:25,000 Speaker 3: But how many more ways do you need to see? 1353 01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:28,000 Speaker 4: All the ways they're coming after you, with their hate 1354 01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:30,200 Speaker 4: and with their vitual, not coming after you, coming after 1355 01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:32,519 Speaker 4: your kids, and therefore coming after you with the hate 1356 01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:37,680 Speaker 4: and the vitual and the violence and just the sheer anger. Yeah, 1357 01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:40,920 Speaker 4: it's frightening, isn't it. I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony 1358 01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:45,120 Speaker 4: Kats today. So Republicans are now out there post State 1359 01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,360 Speaker 4: of the Union and they're talking to the press and 1360 01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:50,720 Speaker 4: they have to, you know, digest what President Trump said, 1361 01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:52,360 Speaker 4: and they have to be able to show whether they're 1362 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:54,559 Speaker 4: in line or whether they're gonna step out of line 1363 01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,240 Speaker 4: on these subjects. Tony Kats, Tony Kats today, good to 1364 01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:00,320 Speaker 4: be with you well. Senator John Thune sent a majority Later, 1365 01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:03,680 Speaker 4: he's on Fox News talking to Aijah Hasni and the 1366 01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:06,120 Speaker 4: question is about the Save Acts, which got huge applause, 1367 01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:08,799 Speaker 4: and Trump's like, get this passed right now? 1368 01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:10,479 Speaker 3: Well, are we going. 1369 01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:12,960 Speaker 4: To get voter ID, which is the Save Acts passed 1370 01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:13,479 Speaker 4: right now? 1371 01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:16,960 Speaker 5: This seems like a no brainer. Are you going to 1372 01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:19,960 Speaker 5: put this bill on the floor, even though you won't 1373 01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:22,240 Speaker 5: have the votes to pass it, just to get Democrats 1374 01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:22,799 Speaker 5: on the record. 1375 01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:26,480 Speaker 3: And if so, when, well. 1376 01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:28,559 Speaker 8: We will, We'll put the Democrats on the record. 1377 01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:29,679 Speaker 3: And it's a star contrast. 1378 01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,800 Speaker 8: I should the Democrats, even in the Chamber last night, 1379 01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:34,880 Speaker 8: having to sit there and try and defend allowing non 1380 01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:37,320 Speaker 8: citizens to vote in American elections. That is a losing 1381 01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:38,400 Speaker 8: proposition for them. 1382 01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:39,719 Speaker 3: So we will. 1383 01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:41,400 Speaker 8: Get a vote on it. And we are right now 1384 01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:42,880 Speaker 8: in the middle of a government shut down, so we've 1385 01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:45,280 Speaker 8: got to try and get the government opened up first. 1386 01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:49,080 Speaker 8: But in due time we will get that up on 1387 01:29:49,160 --> 01:29:50,720 Speaker 8: the floor. We will have a vote on it. We 1388 01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:53,320 Speaker 8: will make sure that the Democrats are on the record. 1389 01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:57,120 Speaker 8: It is a stark contrast between Republicans and Democrats about 1390 01:29:57,120 --> 01:30:00,120 Speaker 8: how they want to handle elections in this country, and 1391 01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:01,519 Speaker 8: and this is going to put them, I think in 1392 01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:03,760 Speaker 8: a very difficult position. It's an issue if I were 1393 01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:06,639 Speaker 8: running as a Democrat in the midterm elections in November, 1394 01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:07,799 Speaker 8: I wouldn't want to have to defend. 1395 01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:12,200 Speaker 4: So he's telling you something here that's very important. We 1396 01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:14,920 Speaker 4: absolutely will not able to get this pass. We will 1397 01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:16,880 Speaker 4: not be able to get it past. It isn't going 1398 01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:19,439 Speaker 4: to pass. We do not have what it takes to 1399 01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:22,040 Speaker 4: get it passed. We aren't going to blow up the filibuster. 1400 01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:24,200 Speaker 4: We will not pass this. I want to make sure 1401 01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:29,000 Speaker 4: you understand that that's what he said. But my gosh, 1402 01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:34,280 Speaker 4: finally we're seeing a bit of fight. And what's the fight. 1403 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:37,960 Speaker 4: We'll put him on the record. We will force them 1404 01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:41,240 Speaker 4: to say that they don't want voter ID laws, and 1405 01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:43,360 Speaker 4: we're going to use it against him in the midterms. 1406 01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:48,080 Speaker 4: That is some Democrat stuff right there. Publicans don't usually 1407 01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:51,200 Speaker 4: do that. Reublicans don't usually have the stomach for that. 1408 01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:54,840 Speaker 4: I have been wondering, I've been asking, where's the fight. 1409 01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:57,479 Speaker 4: I've got a whole event I'm doing this weekend about 1410 01:30:57,479 --> 01:30:59,160 Speaker 4: where is the fight? And all of a sudden, lo 1411 01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:04,840 Speaker 4: and behold you see a little something something something like that. 1412 01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:08,519 Speaker 3: I like that a lot. I'm Tony Kats. It's a 1413 01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:09,479 Speaker 3: Tony Kats. Today. 1414 01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:20,479 Speaker 2: All Democrats, every single one of them, voted against these 1415 01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:32,360 Speaker 2: really important and very necessary, massive tax cuts, and that's 1416 01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:37,519 Speaker 2: they wanted, cheering, large scale tax increases to hurt the 1417 01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:38,679 Speaker 2: people instead. 1418 01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:44,760 Speaker 3: But we held strong and with the great, big, beautiful. 1419 01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:48,040 Speaker 2: Bill, we gave you no tax on tips, no tax 1420 01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:52,080 Speaker 2: on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our grates. 1421 01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:55,479 Speaker 3: That was Trump doing it right. 1422 01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:58,920 Speaker 4: Here are our successes, something we've been talking about now 1423 01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,479 Speaker 4: for a couple of months, and they're now doing in earnest. 1424 01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:04,880 Speaker 3: It was just bestn't and now you're seeing it all 1425 01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:06,960 Speaker 3: over the place. And that's what the state of the 1426 01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:07,519 Speaker 3: Union was. 1427 01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:10,400 Speaker 4: Here's what we're doing, and here's why we did it, 1428 01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:13,240 Speaker 4: and here's why it's good for you, and not enough 1429 01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:14,360 Speaker 4: people are talking about it. 1430 01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:17,240 Speaker 3: Look at these successes. Boom boom boom, boom boom. 1431 01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:22,920 Speaker 4: The Republicans have done the worst mesting job I've ever seen. Awful, horrible, despicable, 1432 01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:27,160 Speaker 4: and I'm happy to see them at long last, listening 1433 01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:31,040 Speaker 4: to us and turning that around Tony Katz, Tony kats today. 1434 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:33,240 Speaker 4: Good to be here, good to be with you. That 1435 01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:36,559 Speaker 4: was part of the State of the Union. Democrats cheering 1436 01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:40,080 Speaker 4: for tax increases not usually the thing you want to do. 1437 01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:42,840 Speaker 4: But Democrats screwed it up so much. 1438 01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:45,880 Speaker 3: They screwed up the visuals, they screwed up everything. 1439 01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:49,240 Speaker 4: It's kind of what they do well. It matter for 1440 01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:51,360 Speaker 4: their base. No, wi't matter for their base because they 1441 01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:53,160 Speaker 4: think that, you know, not showing up for the State 1442 01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:56,400 Speaker 4: of the Union or something it's brave or some silliness 1443 01:32:56,560 --> 01:33:00,479 Speaker 4: like that. These aren't really the brightest people in the world. 1444 01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:05,880 Speaker 4: They are certainly dangerous. Sadly people vote for it, but 1445 01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:09,320 Speaker 4: they show up, not in masks. You have like seventy 1446 01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:12,479 Speaker 4: people stay away and they look ineffective. And then when 1447 01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:15,400 Speaker 4: they do respond, they're cheering for tax increases. 1448 01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:17,679 Speaker 3: Very very odd. 1449 01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:17,840 Speaker 4: You know. 1450 01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:18,360 Speaker 3: I was there. 1451 01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:21,719 Speaker 4: I was at the State of the un I watched 1452 01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:23,880 Speaker 4: this thing happen, and I watched these Democrats because where 1453 01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:28,600 Speaker 4: I was, where I was situated, I was behind the president. No, no, 1454 01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:32,160 Speaker 4: that was Jade Vance. I was higher up and over 1455 01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:34,559 Speaker 4: to the left. As you're looking at your television screen. 1456 01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:36,479 Speaker 4: But I was in that part of the gallery. I've 1457 01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:38,960 Speaker 4: been in the gallery now three times for some major events, 1458 01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:41,519 Speaker 4: and it's the first time I've ever been situated behind 1459 01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:44,439 Speaker 4: the president. Hey, I was appreciative of the ticket, and 1460 01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:47,200 Speaker 4: Senator Todd Young of Indiana got me the ticket. I 1461 01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:52,439 Speaker 4: greatly appreciated. It was a fantastic experience. But I was 1462 01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:56,320 Speaker 4: looking down directly at the Democratic Party. There was the 1463 01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:59,880 Speaker 4: Keem Jeffries, I mean right rarely, like right in front 1464 01:33:59,880 --> 01:34:04,800 Speaker 4: of me was Ilhana Marmahida Talib.

And there's a moment that they're steaming and 1468 01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:19,240 Speaker 4: the crowd is cheering on Trump, and I think we 1469 01:34:19,760 --> 01:34:20,360 Speaker 4: locked eyes. 1470 01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:22,880 Speaker 3: I am convinced we locked eyes, and. 1471 01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:25,639 Speaker 4: I gave her this kind of look of not my problem, 1472 01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:29,280 Speaker 4: you know, like I'm applauding, I'm going along with it. 1473 01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:32,400 Speaker 3: I see her and she she's looking up and I 1474 01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:36,439 Speaker 3: just go, eh.

They were 1482 01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:10,160 Speaker 4: so awful and the Democratic Party there was this list 1483 01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:13,560 Speaker 4: of things. Caroline Levitt had this list of things that 1484 01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:17,360 Speaker 4: they did not stand for or cheer for. Putting American 1485 01:35:17,439 --> 01:35:20,479 Speaker 4: citizens over illegal aliens, voter ID laws, the murder rate 1486 01:35:20,479 --> 01:35:24,360 Speaker 4: at its lowest point since nineteen hundred, keeping violent criminals 1487 01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:28,800 Speaker 4: locked up, protecting parental rights, stopping fraud angel families, price transparency, 1488 01:35:29,120 --> 01:35:31,840 Speaker 4: taking on drug cartels, no tax on tips, over time, 1489 01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:34,679 Speaker 4: and social security, the most secure border in history. 1490 01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:36,960 Speaker 3: They don't care. 1491 01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:39,800 Speaker 4: About any of this stuff. They don't give a dang 1492 01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:46,680 Speaker 4: about any of this stuff. They're upset with these things. Upset. 1493 01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:50,920 Speaker 4: That's a weird thing to be upset with. It's a 1494 01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:54,599 Speaker 4: weird thing to be bothered with. That's who they are. 1495 01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:58,599 Speaker 4: And they looked bad last night. Oh they look bad, 1496 01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:01,200 Speaker 4: and they'll look bad from now and a month from now, 1497 01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:07,680 Speaker 4: they really really will. So I got my view and 1498 01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:09,920 Speaker 4: I've got, you know, a bunch. I've been talking about 1499 01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:12,320 Speaker 4: my experiences at the State of the Union, but someone 1500 01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:14,720 Speaker 4: who has had the opportunity to hit a couple more 1501 01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:17,360 Speaker 4: States of the Union than me, including the Biden States 1502 01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:21,960 Speaker 4: of the Union, Congresswoman Aaron Houchin from the Indiana ninth District. 1503 01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:25,639 Speaker 4: I was able to catch up with her yesterday as well, 1504 01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:29,320 Speaker 4: and she was there. She's on the House Energy Energy 1505 01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:34,639 Speaker 4: Committee and a whole bunch of work within the caucus, 1506 01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:37,600 Speaker 4: and I caught up with her and got with her 1507 01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:40,960 Speaker 4: about her thoughts on the State of the Union and 1508 01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:45,599 Speaker 4: the message that Trump gave to Republicans and congress Woman Houchen. 1509 01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:47,280 Speaker 3: Good to have you with us. 1510 01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:50,639 Speaker 4: Your vantage point was different from mine, if only because 1511 01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:53,479 Speaker 4: you actually gotten to see the President as he was talking, 1512 01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:55,680 Speaker 4: and I only had the back of his head when 1513 01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:56,879 Speaker 4: he turned at certain angles. 1514 01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:00,679 Speaker 3: Your take on the State of the un last. 1515 01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:02,639 Speaker 5: Night, Tony. 1516 01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:03,400 Speaker 3: Great to be with you. 1517 01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:06,080 Speaker 5: We are tired this morning. It was a late night, 1518 01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:09,439 Speaker 5: a record setting State of the Union. But it's you know, 1519 01:37:09,479 --> 01:37:13,879 Speaker 5: after President Trump declared last night America is safer, stronger, 1520 01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:15,040 Speaker 5: and more affordable. 1521 01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:16,840 Speaker 4: This is. 1522 01:37:18,720 --> 01:37:22,439 Speaker 5: You know, we are just getting started law and orders back, 1523 01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:27,080 Speaker 5: crushing inflation is over. Everything that we have endured under 1524 01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:32,800 Speaker 5: Democrats leadership is starting to wane in America is back. 1525 01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:36,879 Speaker 5: There's no question about that. It was exciting to be there, obviously, 1526 01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:39,439 Speaker 5: an I skipped leg day at the gym right because 1527 01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:40,639 Speaker 5: it was going to be a lot of I knew 1528 01:37:40,640 --> 01:37:41,840 Speaker 5: it was going to be a lot of up and down, 1529 01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:45,960 Speaker 5: but there was a lot of reasons to stand in applaud. Unfortunately, 1530 01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:51,960 Speaker 5: the Democrats in probably the most the most jarring part 1531 01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:54,000 Speaker 5: of the night. I'd be interested to get your take. 1532 01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:57,280 Speaker 5: When the President said the first duty of the American 1533 01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:03,760 Speaker 5: government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. Democrats 1534 01:38:03,880 --> 01:38:07,000 Speaker 5: did not stand for that. He said, stand if you agree. 1535 01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:11,040 Speaker 5: They did not stand. And there were many other moments 1536 01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:15,760 Speaker 5: that I was surprised by. When the victim of the 1537 01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:21,160 Speaker 5: Charlotte train stabbing her mother, Anna Arenas Arenas Ariska. 1538 01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:26,720 Speaker 3: Is her name, and her mother and father were there, yes, and. 1539 01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:30,000 Speaker 5: The Democrats did not stand. They didn't stand for law 1540 01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:33,760 Speaker 5: and order. They didn't stand for protecting American citizens over 1541 01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:37,759 Speaker 5: illegal aliens. They didn't stand for brand spanning transition surgery 1542 01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:41,360 Speaker 5: for minors. They didn't stand for tax cuts. In fact, 1543 01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:45,320 Speaker 5: they stood for tax increases. It's really remarkable. 1544 01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:47,519 Speaker 2: I was. 1545 01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:50,120 Speaker 5: I thought the President did a great job last night 1546 01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:54,360 Speaker 5: laying out the case for why the voters should choose 1547 01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:58,840 Speaker 5: the Republican Party and our perspective and policies over the Democrats. 1548 01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:02,920 Speaker 3: You know, I've said this. I've actually said this to 1549 01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:04,080 Speaker 3: you before. 1550 01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:07,599 Speaker 4: Even if I sometimes consider in my head I think 1551 01:39:07,640 --> 01:39:10,880 Speaker 4: it'd be interesting to run for Congress, it's the idea 1552 01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:13,760 Speaker 4: of having to. I don't know how you get the 1553 01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:17,400 Speaker 4: work done, how much you bite your tongue, because there 1554 01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:19,840 Speaker 4: are these moments that even if you disagree on policy, 1555 01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:22,880 Speaker 4: there are things, as you're bringing up that I don't 1556 01:39:22,880 --> 01:39:24,640 Speaker 4: know how one disagrees on. 1557 01:39:24,840 --> 01:39:28,120 Speaker 3: There was a young girl in the gallery who had been. 1558 01:39:28,080 --> 01:39:32,840 Speaker 4: Injured, seriously injured by somebody with who didn't have a 1559 01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:36,200 Speaker 4: commercial driver's license illegally was here. I did not have 1560 01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:39,519 Speaker 4: a commercial driver's license or legally obtained one, and caused 1561 01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:40,960 Speaker 4: this great damage to this girl. 1562 01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:43,600 Speaker 3: And Democrats did not stand up for that. 1563 01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:46,720 Speaker 4: And I asked myself, very honestly, I don't know how, 1564 01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:50,040 Speaker 4: you know, can I coexist in that way to be 1565 01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:51,360 Speaker 4: able to work on policy? 1566 01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:53,080 Speaker 3: If I was ever a member of Congress. 1567 01:39:53,120 --> 01:39:55,160 Speaker 4: But I thought there was a lot of talk about 1568 01:39:55,160 --> 01:39:58,360 Speaker 4: commercial driver's licenses, and for those of us who are Hoosiers, 1569 01:39:58,880 --> 01:40:01,639 Speaker 4: this is our story, this is I think. I think 1570 01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:06,040 Speaker 4: we are really ground zero for this conversation. Have you 1571 01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:09,439 Speaker 4: been a part or privy to conversations about I know 1572 01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:11,280 Speaker 4: Senator Banks has talked about some of these things. 1573 01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:13,280 Speaker 3: How we engage. 1574 01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:17,000 Speaker 4: Legislatively or in other ways to ensure that our roads 1575 01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:20,120 Speaker 4: are safe and that truckers are not hiring people here 1576 01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:24,880 Speaker 4: illegally and trucking companies are actually following whatever laws we 1577 01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:27,640 Speaker 4: have on the books, and do we actually need more 1578 01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:27,960 Speaker 4: of them? 1579 01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:32,760 Speaker 5: Well, yes, the answer is yes. We've been engaged in 1580 01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:35,600 Speaker 5: this issue, but we've actually been fighting it since we 1581 01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:37,680 Speaker 5: were in the state House. We had Republicans in the 1582 01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:41,080 Speaker 5: state House that wanted to grant driver's licenses to illegal 1583 01:40:41,120 --> 01:40:44,280 Speaker 5: immigrants back when I was in the state Senate, which 1584 01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:48,160 Speaker 5: we fought successfully killed it in the Transportation Committee. But 1585 01:40:48,600 --> 01:40:51,960 Speaker 5: there have been pieces of legislation that have been heard 1586 01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:57,160 Speaker 5: that have been brought up by Republicans to grant license 1587 01:40:57,240 --> 01:40:59,760 Speaker 5: driver's licenses. I went through this when my own daughter 1588 01:40:59,880 --> 01:41:02,040 Speaker 5: was what's getting your driver's license? And it was easier 1589 01:41:02,120 --> 01:41:04,800 Speaker 5: for an illegal immigrant to get a driver's license and 1590 01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:09,080 Speaker 5: it was my, you know, American teenagers. So this has 1591 01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:11,439 Speaker 5: been an issue that's been around. Even in the state 1592 01:41:11,479 --> 01:41:16,240 Speaker 5: of Indiana. It's harder for a military veteran with a 1593 01:41:16,360 --> 01:41:20,920 Speaker 5: military CDL to get a CDL as a civilian Senate 1594 01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:23,439 Speaker 5: is for an illegal immigrant to get a CDL and 1595 01:41:23,560 --> 01:41:27,600 Speaker 5: transfer it to Indiana. We got to crack down on this. 1596 01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:32,360 Speaker 5: It is simply not safe. They're driving these massive trucks 1597 01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:37,840 Speaker 5: that are killing American citizens in these terrific accidents. Unbelievable 1598 01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:42,080 Speaker 5: yet again that the Democrats are choosing illegal immigrants over 1599 01:41:42,640 --> 01:41:46,639 Speaker 5: American citizens again and again and again. I hope if 1600 01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:49,439 Speaker 5: nothing else is remembered from last night, and there's a 1601 01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:52,320 Speaker 5: lot to celebrate, but I hope that the American people 1602 01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:57,280 Speaker 5: will realize that the Democratic Party is not the party 1603 01:41:57,520 --> 01:42:01,320 Speaker 5: of not America. For a certain but it's not even 1604 01:42:01,320 --> 01:42:03,840 Speaker 5: American citizens first, it's illegal immigrants first. 1605 01:42:04,760 --> 01:42:07,479 Speaker 4: Before we go on, you are on the House Energy 1606 01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:11,240 Speaker 4: and Commerce Committee. You serve in the Subcommittee of Commerce, Manufacturing, 1607 01:42:11,520 --> 01:42:15,240 Speaker 4: and Trade. Are there things that you're looking at in committee? 1608 01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:19,520 Speaker 4: Things you'd like to bring to committee regarding trucking commerces 1609 01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:24,000 Speaker 4: is the reason. Are there things you are considering or 1610 01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:26,639 Speaker 4: discussions that you could share with us on this subject. 1611 01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:32,519 Speaker 5: Yeah, we are certainly considering legislation for the CDL issue. 1612 01:42:32,680 --> 01:42:35,719 Speaker 5: I've been trying for many years to get the military 1613 01:42:35,800 --> 01:42:38,960 Speaker 5: CDLs to be able to transfers. We do need truck drivers, 1614 01:42:39,040 --> 01:42:42,120 Speaker 5: but we don't need unsafe truck drivers who are not 1615 01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:46,200 Speaker 5: trained to do so and are driving our semis across 1616 01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:51,080 Speaker 5: the country. So yes, we're looking at many options for 1617 01:42:52,479 --> 01:42:55,840 Speaker 5: cracking down on this issue. In particular, I will be 1618 01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:58,960 Speaker 5: following the President's lead. He mentioned last night he wants 1619 01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:02,439 Speaker 5: Congress toor on this, and we would be certainly honored 1620 01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:04,320 Speaker 5: to work with the President and the White House on 1621 01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:07,400 Speaker 5: finding a way through this so it's safe for America. 1622 01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:11,200 Speaker 4: Talking to Congresswoman Aaron Houchen from the ninth District of Indiana, 1623 01:43:12,120 --> 01:43:13,960 Speaker 4: let's get back to the. 1624 01:43:15,880 --> 01:43:18,920 Speaker 3: The state of the Union last night. We could talk 1625 01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:19,960 Speaker 3: for forever on. 1626 01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:22,240 Speaker 4: The insanity that we saw from the political left and 1627 01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:24,720 Speaker 4: falling for some of these clear traps, falling for some 1628 01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:30,080 Speaker 4: of these clear uh one liners that they they bought into. 1629 01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:34,640 Speaker 4: They're applauding for tax increases, they're not applauding for for 1630 01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:39,160 Speaker 4: victims there they they're barely applauding for the US hockey team. 1631 01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:43,479 Speaker 3: But turn it to President Trump's side. So much of 1632 01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:46,479 Speaker 3: a of a State of the Union in a time 1633 01:43:46,560 --> 01:43:49,000 Speaker 3: like this is to prepare and gear up for the midterms. 1634 01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:52,479 Speaker 3: What did you take as the message there? What did 1635 01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:55,000 Speaker 3: you take as the talking points from the State of 1636 01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:58,000 Speaker 3: the Union that Republicans should be taking back to their districts, 1637 01:43:58,040 --> 01:44:00,920 Speaker 3: to their constituents about how you should vote in November. 1638 01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:06,240 Speaker 5: Right, I think this is the biggest point I think 1639 01:44:06,280 --> 01:44:08,880 Speaker 5: to take home is that we're approaching America's two hundred 1640 01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:13,320 Speaker 5: and fiftieth birthday and President Trump outlined a bold vision 1641 01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:17,640 Speaker 5: to make the American dream more attainable and affordable for 1642 01:44:18,160 --> 01:44:23,080 Speaker 5: every working family. We are the Party of the American citizen. 1643 01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:28,759 Speaker 5: This economy is coming back. We are just getting started. 1644 01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:31,760 Speaker 5: This is one year of the Trump administration Trump two 1645 01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:34,879 Speaker 5: point zero.
