1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Line from Vaal Hartbiner and the Crossroads of America. It's

2
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today.

3
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: Welcome everybody, Day twenty one of the Democrats shutdown. It's

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 2: now three weeks, three weeks since the Democrats have decided

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: to close the entire federal government.

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: It is amazing that this is still going on, that

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 3: we're still talking about the shutdown. I'm telling you, the

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 3: sequel to Groundhog Day has just sucked.

9
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: Low. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be with you.

10
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: Find everything I do over at Tony Katz dot com.

11
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: You should do that. You should do that immediately right there.

12
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 3: But Speaker Johnson taking to the podium again saying, hey,

13
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 3: you know what day twenty one, it's you know, we

14
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 3: got a we got still the same old, same old problems.

15
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: Let me share this with you right here.

16
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: I mentioned yesterday and we were gathered that this is

17
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: now the longest full shut down in American history. And

18
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 2: yet again Senate Democrats voted for the eleventh time twelve

19
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: times overall when you count House and Senate Democrats to

20
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: prolong the pain and keep the government closed. So we

21
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: want to talk very briefly with you this morning about

22
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 2: what that means, and then we're going to give you

23
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: a little update on the Epstein matter.

24
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: So far.

25
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: This is what it means so far, with this shutdown

26
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: has caused to the economy and to the people of

27
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: this country is really unconscionable. The US economy has now

28
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: lost hundreds of billions of dollars. We have federal workers

29
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: who are desperate for pay and uncertain when they will

30
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: get their next paycheck. Families wondering if they'll go without

31
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: food assistance next month because many people rely upon that.

32
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: New federal loans and disaster aid have come to a

33
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 2: complete halt, and the stewards of our nuclear defense stockpile

34
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 2: are being sent home on furlough.

35
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: Think of the implications of all this.

36
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: All of it hurts the economy, it hurts our national security,

37
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: and it hurts the American people, and the Democrats seem

38
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 2: not to care. I was watching Republican Senate majority Whip

39
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: Buraso this morning on an interview and he said it,

40
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: I think very succinctly, he said, the Democrats are practicing

41
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: the politics of pain. I'm not sure I could say

42
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: that any better. That's exactly what it is. And you

43
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: think of what's happening right now. Think of what they

44
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: have demanded in exchange as a ransom, the hostage they've

45
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: taken to reopen the government. They're demanding tax payer funded

46
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: health benefits be restored to illegal aliens.

47
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 4: They're demanding that we spend billions of.

48
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: Dollars overseas for ridiculous programs that the American people do

49
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: not support. They want to claw back the fifty billion

50
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: dollars that we just got signed in a law on

51
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: July fourth to support our rural hospitals and all sorts

52
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: of other crazy things. Their demanding taxpayer funded health benefits

53
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: for illegal aliens instead of agreeing to pay our men

54
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: and women in uniform and provide vital health services and

55
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: all the things that our most vulnerable Americans depend upon.

56
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: It is unforgivable. And this is an indisputable fact. Everybody

57
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: can see this, and everybody in this room knows what

58
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: I'm about to say is true. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem

59
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: Jeffries are terrified of their far less left base in

60
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: New York and around the country, so they have given

61
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: in to their demands to shut down the government so

62
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: that they themselves can get the left's approval and somehow

63
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: salvage their political careers. That is the whole story in

64
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: one sentence. Okay, that's why Schumer said shamelessly that every

65
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: day of the shutdown gets better for us.

66
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 4: Who's the us.

67
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: He's talking about, He and Hakim and the Democrats who

68
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: are afraid of the far left base. So today I

69
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: want to put a finer point on some of the

70
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: very real consequences we're seeing and what they mean for

71
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: Americans around the country. And I'll zoom in on some

72
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: of these key Democrat states where the senators continue to

73
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: dig their heels in and vote against opening the government.

74
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 4: Yesterday, from NBC News, here's the headline.

75
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: Air Traffic Controls staffing issues caused flight delays across the country.

76
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: Secretary of Transportation said fifty three percent of flight delays

77
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: are now due to staffing issues, and usually that number

78
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: is five percent. From Colorado, food banks are faced growing

79
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: crises as shut down impacts become a reality. That's the

80
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: headline from sky High News. What are Colorado's two Democrat

81
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,119
Speaker 2: senators doing. You've got hicken Looper and Bennett. They both

82
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: now voted eleven times to keep the government close. Virginia,

83
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: here's the headline yesterday, KSL Virginia employees fear shutdowns impact

84
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: on veterans' medical care. Meanwhile, two Democrat Senators Tim Kaine

85
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 2: and Mark Warner have voted repeatedly to put their thumb

86
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: in the eye of those veterans and they won't end

87
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: this pain. From Hawaii, Hawaiian News Now says headline, government

88
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: shutdown impacts telehealth for seniors in Hawaii. Seniors in Hawaii

89
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: rely upon telehealth. Guess who's shutting it down. They're two

90
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: Democrat senators Brian Schatz and Mazie Herono, voted again and

91
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 2: again to keep the government closed and disrupt the health services.

92
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: For seniors in their own state. They've got a lot

93
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 4: to answer to.

94
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: From California, here's a headline, ABC seven News, I'll meet

95
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: up food banks step in to help TSA workers families

96
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: impacted by government shutdown. That is disgusting and both of

97
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: California Senators Padella and Schiff have voted eleven times to

98
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: block the pay of those TSA agents and their families

99
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: the paychecks they rely upon. From Illinois, WIFR yesterday, federal

100
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: courts in northern Illinois reduce operations due to government shutdown,

101
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: the courts are reducing operations, and you've got Illinois Democrats

102
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: Senators Duckworth and Durban have voted to keep the government closed.

103
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: We could do this all day long. That's a sample.

104
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: Democrats used to care about the harm that shut downs

105
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: caused hard working Americans, but now we can all see

106
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: very clearly that was always based on politics and not principle,

107
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: because they have thrown the principle out the window. And

108
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: yesterday there was an article from the Hill that laid

109
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 2: bare that very fact. A Democrat senator was speaking anonymously,

110
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: an admitted quote, people are going to get hammered as

111
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: they vote.

112
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 4: For the House passed.

113
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: Bill to reopen the government, the clean non PARTI, since

114
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: the are they're going to get hammered. Another insider said

115
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: in that same story, quote, we would have enough votes

116
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 2: to reopen the government if people were not terrified of

117
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: getting the guillotine. Okay, they made it metaphorically, but in

118
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: a political sense, that's exactly what they're concerned about. And

119
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: think about the fact that we're just laying out here.

120
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: These are simple facts. We come out here every morning

121
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: and remind American people of what's going on.

122
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: Do not let them distract you from the facts.

123
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: The American people would have an open government if Democrats

124
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: were not terrified of their radical base.

125
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: That is the headline, and I think that's a factual headline.

126
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: That is exactly where it is.

127
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: I know we just played a lot of that there

128
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: where I didn't interrupt, But I don't think that Speaker

129
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 3: Johnson is saying anything that we don't already know to

130
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: be true. And the reason I share this day after

131
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: day after day is because the message of the Republicans

132
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: has not changed, as in, look at what these people

133
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: are doing. Why I should say, I should actually say,

134
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: there's been a slight change. It went from you're supposed

135
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 3: to pass a clean resolution and then we can work

136
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: on these things, and it's gone to look at how

137
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: much they're enjoying the shutdown. They don't care who gets hurt.

138
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 3: And that's not Republicans just saying it. It's based on

139
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 3: what Democrats have said and done. Chuck Schumer is so

140
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: bad at this, and it's a constant reminder every day

141
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: this goes on. It's worse for the political left, except

142
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: they don't play that way. Independence will say, my god,

143
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: these people are dopey progressives will say Trump bad, and

144
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: it's okay to kill anybody who supports them. See that,

145
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: and you're like, Tony, that's terrible. They're saying it. They're

146
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: saying it everywhere, so good. They're not about to somehow

147
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 3: come to some new revelation. That's just not the way

148
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: it's going to go. Democrats will be upset if the

149
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: government gets back open and they don't get their Obamacare subsidies,

150
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: which right now I'm not even interested in giving them

151
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: at all, even though I think Trump will. But they

152
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: won't get upset by any of this. They'll go on

153
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 3: to say Trump bad, Trump det to economy. We have

154
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: to stop Trump, and we have to stop the people

155
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: support them, and it's okay we engage in violent and

156
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: it's okay to assassinate Charlie Kirk or anybody else on radio,

157
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: or anybody who writes anything I don't like, or says

158
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 3: anything I don't like, or looks at me in the

159
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: wrong way. That's where the progressive left is right now.

160
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: But for people who are rational, Republicans are making an

161
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 3: argument that at least they can tolerate these lefties moving goalposts.

162
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: These lefties like the shutdown and all this is political.

163
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 3: The question is why do other senators want to support

164
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer's folly. Now that's a real interesting question. Why

165
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: support the folly? And the answer is because it's not

166
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 3: just Chuck Schumer's folly. Obviously, they see their base as

167
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: wanting this, and they don't want to have to confront

168
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 3: their rabid base, their angry, vicious bass, with capitulation and

169
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: signing and voting for the Continuing Resolution, which only gets

170
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: us through to November twenty first, it's a month from now,

171
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: that's it. They don't want to have to go against

172
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 3: those people, they don't have to look them in the eye.

173
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: They're scared of those people.

174
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 3: And Chuck Schumer is scared of those people and is

175
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: trying to ensure that Casia Cortez doesn't run against him

176
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,119
Speaker 3: for Senate. But Mike Johnson said, there was a conversation

177
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 3: about the Epstein files. Let's hear about that.

178
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: Let me say this now, while congressional Democrats continue their

179
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: dangerous political games, the Bipartisan House Committee on Oversight is

180
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: conducting its investigation into the heinous crimes of Jeffrey Epstein,

181
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: and it has continued, it.

182
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 4: Has not stopped during the government shutdown.

183
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: You have some of the as i'd like to say,

184
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,119
Speaker 2: some of the toughest bulldogs in Congress on the Republican

185
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: and Democrat side, who are united in this cause for

186
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: maximum transparency of the Epstein files. I'm for that. Chairman

187
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: Comer is for that. The Oversight Committee chair you'll hear

188
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: from in a moment. All these leaderships team are all

189
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: the Republicans in the House or for maximum transparency and

190
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: always have been.

191
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 4: My good friend. Chairman James Comer is going to.

192
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: Get update on that shortly, but I just want to

193
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: make a couple of key points very clearly before I

194
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: bring them up here. Congressional Democrats are rudderless right now.

195
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: I don't know how else to describe it. They don't

196
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: have a message, they don't have a leader, they don't

197
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: have any identifiable set of policy solutions for the problems

198
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: facing the American people. Their party continues to hit all

199
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: time historic lows and poll after poll after poll, and

200
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: many of you have reported on that these are objective facts.

201
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: They're utterly lost as a party and everybody can see it.

202
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 4: So what are they doing? They see a shiny object

203
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 4: and they latch onto it.

204
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: Democrats did not say one word about the Epstein files

205
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: for the entire Biden presidency. They had all the files

206
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: and the Biden doj they didn't.

207
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 4: Say a word about it. Four years, not a word.

208
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 2: And suddenly now they somehow convince themselves that the Epstein

209
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in

210
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: some way that they've imagined, and so they feign outrage.

211
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: Let me be very clear about this. Met with some

212
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: of the Epstein victims. Some of these brave women have

213
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 2: come forward. They were here on Capitol Hill, as you

214
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: all know, we heard their stories. It's gut wrenching, it's

215
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: disgusting what they've been made to go through, and they

216
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 2: bravely came forward. We're working around the clock to ensure

217
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: the justices served and also as part of the oversight

218
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: to figure out why justice has been delayed for so long.

219
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 2: All credible information we will ensure is released to the public,

220
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: and we also at the same time or fulfilling our

221
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: responsibility to protect the innocent victims. By the witness's own testimony,

222
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: these ladies who've come forward, they estimate there may be

223
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 2: as many of a thousand young women who were subjected

224
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: to these heinous crimes, and many of them have chosen

225
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: not to come forward and show their faces and reveal

226
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 2: their names because it would compound the harm that they've

227
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: already suffered. And so we want to protect those people.

228
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: That's the sum total of all of this. That's our responsibility,

229
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: and short of that, we want maximum transparency and that

230
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: is exactly what the American people are right now that

231
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: oversight investigation.

232
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 4: They're working around the clot and.

233
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: Here's what the latest the latest update if you're not

234
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: keeping track. They have now subpoenaed and released forty three

235
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: thousand pages of documents. They have subpoenaed and released DOJ

236
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: and Epstein estate documents, with more to come. They've issued

237
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: eleven deposition subpoenas, and they've released Bill Barr's deposition transcript.

238
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 2: Just a few days ago, they released the transcript from

239
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: the interview with Alexander Acosta. They requested and begun to

240
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: serve to receive sorry suspicious activity reports from the Treasury Department,

241
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 2: and the department is fully cooperated in that. And they

242
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: published letters from Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, and James Comey

243
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: stating they had no knowledge or information related to the

244
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: committee's investigation. Those documents include the ones that were released

245
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: on Friday of last week. Okay, the Epstein estate documents

246
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 2: include his personal phone logs, his travel logs, his financial records,

247
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: the ledgers that many people have been wanting to see,

248
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: and even his daily calendar. The investigation and continued document

249
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: releases ongoing even as we speak.

250
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 4: And let me say this clearly as well, the.

251
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: Bipartisan House Oversight Committee is already accomplishing what the discharge

252
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: petition that Gambit sought and much more. The Epstein estate

253
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: files that have been this new treasure trove. The third

254
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: batch of information released right now was not even included

255
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: in the discharge petition.

256
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 4: Didn't even think of it.

257
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: And again, the investigation is bipartisan, it's NonStop, and it's

258
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: far broader in scope than what is covered by the

259
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: discharge petition and has already yielded significant results. Unfortunately, some

260
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: Democrats and sadly even a couple of Republicans have tried

261
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: to make this a political issue.

262
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 4: They seem to be more interested.

263
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: In trying somehow to lay glove on the president than

264
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: in securing justice for these victims.

265
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 4: And I think that is shameful.

266
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 3: What does Chairman Comer have to say. I'll bring that

267
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: to you after the break.

268
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: Keep it here. This is Tony Katz Today.

269
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: I'll get into what James Comer, Chairman of House Oversight,

270
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: had to say regarding Epstein in a bit Tony Katz,

271
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: Tony Katz today.

272
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: Good to be with you.

273
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: I just I was sharing this story about Nicaragua on

274
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: my social media feeds. I am an unhappy man because

275
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: the Trump administration is now saying that there's a consideration on.

276
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: The table.

277
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 3: For putting a one hundred percent tariff on all products

278
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: out of Nicaragua. This is a problem. Did I say

279
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: a lot? I did? Tony Kat's good to be with you.

280
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 3: Find everything at Tony kats dot com. This is a

281
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: serious issue now. The argument is that Nicaragua's labor and

282
00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 3: human rights policies are unreasonable and impeding US commerce. But

283
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: the results of a Section three oh one Unfair Trade

284
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: Practices probe. This was launched during the final days the

285
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 3: Biden administration. The USTR that's the US Trade representative said

286
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: it proposed Harris is up to one on all or

287
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 3: some of Nicaragua's goods. There are two things here. First,

288
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 3: why am I bothered? You know the answer, it's cigars.

289
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 3: And you say to me, Tony, that's so selfish of you.

290
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: Human rights violations. Dear lord, why do we buy any

291
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 3: product from China? Why do we buy as many projects

292
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 3: as we do from India? Dear Lord, what about Mexico?

293
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: We want to talk about where there are violations, We're

294
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,119
Speaker 3: going to find them easily.

295
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I support the violations.

296
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I support the way these these countries

297
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: abuse people. I don't support their systems of government. I

298
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 3: support very little about them. But the cigar industry, to Nicaragua,

299
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: is what feeds people. It's what feeds people. And you

300
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: are I'm not going to solve some of the horror

301
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 3: shows in Central America by starving the people because their

302
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 3: product now becomes something that cannot be afforded. Guys, I

303
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: smoke a cigar every day. I do, at least one.

304
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: Now.

305
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong. There are days where I don't

306
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: smoke anything because I'm just at in time, I'm just

307
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 3: you know, I'm not feeling well, whatever the case may be.

308
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 3: But every day, on average, I'm smoking a cigar. Everybody

309
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 3: I know, and I hang out with some people who

310
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: are not afraid to spend a dollar, and you know,

311
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 3: on certain things, I'm not afraid to spend a dollar.

312
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 3: Everybody's looking at the price of cigars right now, going, man,

313
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if that one's worth it. That's happening

314
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 3: all over the place. This can end this part of

315
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 3: the business for a lot of people. That affects the

316
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 3: rollers in Nicaragua, that affects the manufacturers or right here

317
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 3: in the US, and that affects the shops which are

318
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: all mom and pop. These aren't massive, massive concerns, these

319
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 3: cigar lounges. They're small businesses run by small business owners,

320
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 3: quite literally mom and pomps.

321
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: So a move like this.

322
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 3: Has an unbelievably detrimental effect, and it doesn't solve your

323
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: big problem, which is you or you're saying, are the

324
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: abuses of the people. I'm not saying we should applaud

325
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: the abuses of the people. I'm not saying we should

326
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: engage action regarding abuses of the people. I am saying

327
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: that you cannot engage in a full on economic assault

328
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: and then expect something better in the long run.

329
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: Because there will be no long run.

330
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 3: There won't be you're a manufacturer of cigars and you're like, well,

331
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 3: I can't get tobacco from Nicaragua anymore. Well, that's where

332
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: my factory is. Oh well, I guess I'm not gonna

333
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 3: sell anything for a while because I can't make this work.

334
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 3: I'm gonna end up putting it at a price that

335
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 3: we no one is going to buy at. And the

336
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 3: answer is, well, Tony, that's just the way it is.

337
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 3: So because of issues that are happening in countries all

338
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 3: around the globe, we decide Nika Rogua is the issue

339
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 3: to the point of putting out of business the only

340
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 3: industry that has a left stability, and we engage all

341
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: this other problematic response from it, this problematic cause and effect.

342
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: I don't think that's smart. Engaging on the issue smart.

343
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 3: This one hundred percent tariff not smart.

344
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: I'll discuss more of it. This is Tony Kats Today.

345
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 3: So Speaker Johnson once again took to the podium to

346
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 3: discuss what is going on with the shutdown, Day twenty

347
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 3: one of the shutdown. Tony Katz, Tony Kats today, good

348
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 3: to be with you. And then he's say, is not

349
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 3: only a we're going to talk shutdown, we are going

350
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: to discuss Epstein and releasing of files and.

351
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: The amount of women, as you heard.

352
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: Him discuss over a thousand women who may have some

353
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: connection here and some women who don't want to be out,

354
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 3: and so the releasing of this information is got to

355
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 3: be done in a very very calm and.

356
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: Controlled kind of way.

357
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 3: But he then said, here, let me hand it over

358
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 3: to James Comer, who's the chairman of the House Oversight Committee.

359
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: We've been releasing information.

360
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 3: They most recently released some flight logs, and people like

361
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 3: Prince Andrew were on the flight logs with Jeffrey Epstein.

362
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 3: You guys know the Jeffrey Epstein story. Of course, the

363
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 3: trafficking of young women, the sex trafficking, utilizing Julane Maxwell

364
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 3: to make that happen. The question we've been asking is

365
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 3: who was on the plane, who was on the island,

366
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: who was involved in having sex with these girls? And

367
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 3: they have to go to jail. I don't care about

368
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: their last name. I don't care if they were a

369
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: president or a CEO. I don't care about how much

370
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: money they have. If you were abusing sexually, abusing young women,

371
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 3: young men, doesn't matter. You go to jail. That's if

372
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: we're going to be a society that matters. I can't

373
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 3: even say the word society. If we're going to be

374
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: a society that matters, we have to protect children. We

375
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 3: have to say this, we don't allow this. We have

376
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: to be proactive. And it doesn't matter how rich. We

377
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 3: will not have two sets of rules here.

378
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: We won't.

379
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 3: But Mike Johnson, speaker, Johnson was correct. Democrats care because

380
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 3: oh it lets them attack Trump. You should care because

381
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: the abuse of children is wrong. And yes, they had

382
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: all the access they wanted, and when Biden was president,

383
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 3: they didn't care. They didn't care. They only care because

384
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 3: it's a political tool. I disagree with President Trump. I

385
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: think this is very important and I want to know

386
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: who was involved so they can see justice, so we

387
00:21:59,200 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 3: can get justice.

388
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: Are these kids? It is a big deal.

389
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 3: And the people who immediately agreed with President trumpa why

390
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 3: are you paying attention to this? This doesn't matter.

391
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: They were wrong. They were always wrong. They will always

392
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: be wrong.

393
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 3: If they're still discussing it that way, of course, it matters.

394
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 3: You're right and they were wrong. And sometimes it is

395
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 3: that simple. It doesn't mean that they're your enemy. They

396
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 3: were wrong on this, they'll be right on something else

397
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: you'd be like great, fantastic, and sometimes we could be

398
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 3: wrong about something.

399
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: We're just not wrong about this. This matters.

400
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 3: So Comer James Gummer, Kentucky takes to the podium to

401
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 3: talk about Jeffrey Epstein.

402
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 5: Well, thank you as your speaker. As Speaker Johnson already said,

403
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 5: today marks the twenty first day of the Schumer shutdown.

404
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 5: Democrats political games are hurting hardworking Americans. This week, essential

405
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 5: federal workers won't receive their paychecks because Democrats voted against

406
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 5: paying them. That includes Border Patrol CBP agents, TSA, FAA staff,

407
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 5: DoD civilians, FEMA respond and Capitol police officers. The overwhelming

408
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 5: majority of Americans oppose this Democrat shut down. Democrats know it,

409
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 5: so they're trying to distract from the fact that they

410
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 5: shut down the government. A boy pushing a false narrative

411
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 5: about President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

412
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 3: Now that is true, that is true, that there is

413
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: an absolute false narrative happening. They're assuming that because there's

414
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 3: any level of connection, there is guilt. As we've said before,

415
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: like in this last batch of information, Walter Cronkite was

416
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 3: on the plane. I have no idea Walter Cronkite was

417
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: involved in the exploitation of young women, but being connected

418
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 3: to Jeffrey Epstein is not an immediate proof of guilt.

419
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 3: This guy had a lot of money and purported to

420
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: have a lot of money and was sharing money, and

421
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 3: so people were connected to me. He was in the

422
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 3: orbit of a lot of places. It doesn't mean because

423
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: you had dinner with the man you're guilty of anything.

424
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: That's not true anything.

425
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 3: But since the objective is, you know, attack Trump all

426
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 3: the time, as you well know, look at what they're in,

427
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 3: look at what they're creating. Let's see what else Representative

428
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: Comer is going to say.

429
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 5: Let me be clear, no one, no one is protecting

430
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 5: Epstein or his associates. The House Oversight Committee is conducting

431
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 5: a thorough review of the federal government's handling of the

432
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 5: Epstein investigation, one that goes far beyond the discharge petition

433
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 5: the legacy media is obsessed with. To date, the oversc

434
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 5: Committee is released over forty three thousand pages of documents

435
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 5: and issued thirteen subpoenas. We've conducted a deposition with former

436
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 5: US Attorney General Bill Barr and a transcribed interview with

437
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 5: former US Labor Secretary Alex Acosta. I don't think I

438
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 5: need to remind anyone in here that they are both

439
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 5: Republicans and both former cabinet secretaries and the Trump administration.

440
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: And guess what.

441
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 5: Those interviews completely debunked the Democrat smear against President Trump.

442
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 5: Bar stated that there was no evidence that President Trump

443
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 5: was involved in Epstein's criminal activity. Acosta confirmed there was

444
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 5: no contact with President Trump during the Florida case, no link,

445
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 5: no conversations, nothing. Despite these facts, Democrats, especially ranking member Garcia,

446
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 5: continue to spread lies about President Trump, and they are lies.

447
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 5: They're infected with an incurable case of Trump derangement syndrome.

448
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 5: Oversaicked Committee Democrats post daily about Epstein. In fact, they've

449
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 5: posted or reposted about Epstein nearly sixty times on x

450
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 5: since the shutdown began. You know how many times they

451
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 5: posted about essential federal workers not receiving paychecks because they

452
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 5: voted against funding the government once they posted about that

453
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 5: once on the Democrat OVERSAC Committee, and over sixty times

454
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 5: about Epstein.

455
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 4: You see where their priorities are.

456
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 5: Let's be clear, Democrats don't care about transparency or accountability

457
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 5: in this matter. The evidence we've gathered does not implicate

458
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 5: President Trump in any way. Public reporting, survivor testimony, and

459
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 5: official documents show that Bill Clinton had far closer ties

460
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 5: to Epstein. We're working to bring former President Clinton in

461
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 5: for a deposition, but the Democrats aren't helping. One bet

462
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 5: you would think so if we've already brought two former

463
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 5: Trump cabinet secretaries, and they would be willing to bring

464
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 5: in a Democrat who's had publicly a far closer relationship

465
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 5: with especially Maxwell and Epstein.

466
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 3: Julane Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein talking about Bill Clinton there who

467
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 3: of course, you know, Jeffrey Epstein had that painting of

468
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 3: Bill Clinton wearing the blue dress, the Monica Lewinsky blue

469
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 3: dress on his wall, and pictures of one of these

470
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 3: children giving Bill Clinton a back massage or neck massage.

471
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: He was fully clothed at the time. But this is

472
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 3: now the real first turn that we are seeing to

473
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 3: the Democrats of what the hell are you all talking about?

474
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: We see you, we know you're full of it, and

475
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 3: so now you're starting to see or hopefully what we're

476
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: really going to start seeing is the release of information,

477
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: which is what we want.

478
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: If the argument is you.

479
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 3: Can't share all of it, I get it as much

480
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 3: as It infuriates me if we agree with Edmarssey off

481
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 3: hotair dot com, if you were to name somebody in

482
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 3: these files and all of a sudden they become de

483
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 3: facto guilty. Where do they go to follow their grievance

484
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 3: against this allegation, this slander against them right there? Where

485
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 3: do they go after they have been harmed and they've

486
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 3: been wrong, which is a legit argument. In conversation, with

487
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 3: all of that said, I still want the information.

488
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: I want to know who is abusing children. I want

489
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: them stopped. I want them in jail. I'm real.

490
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: I admit to you. I have no quarter on this stuff.

491
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 3: I have no capacity. I may have told you this

492
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 3: just in passing and some other conversation. You guys know,

493
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 3: I do a morning show in Indianapolis and WIBC, and

494
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 3: then I do this show and I do eat, drink, smoke,

495
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 3: this gar and bourbon show, and there's there's talk of

496
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 3: something else. But I'm not prepared. There's been talk, no talk.

497
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: The talk is back. I have a lot to say,

498
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: it turns out.

499
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 3: But in Indy they had the case of Jared Fogel

500
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 3: the Subway, a spokesperson who lost.

501
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: All the weight.

502
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 3: Well, that was all in Indiana story and then him

503
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 3: and some other guy and the child porn.

504
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember the story or not.

505
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: And it was happening.

506
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 3: So I used to work downtown in our studios at

507
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 3: that time, and now you know, worked from.

508
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: Home, and so was it. The courtroom wasn't too far away.

509
00:28:54,560 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 3: I told my program director and my executive producer. I said,

510
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 3: I can't cover this story. News is gonna have to

511
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 3: do it. I can't talk about it because true, I

512
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: absolutely could not get myself to talk about this subject.

513
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: It was too gross, it was too disgusting, it was

514
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 3: too vile. I would not be able to properly contain myself.

515
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: I would be saying things that would get the station

516
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 3: in trouble. Nope, never mind that. I just I couldn't

517
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: handle it. I couldn't, absolutely not. I have no quarter

518
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 3: on the subject of the abuse of kids. This stuff

519
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: has to be met with a resounding no. And if

520
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 3: we're in any society that people are like, well, I'm sorry,

521
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: I can't handle those people. And so when you see

522
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 3: when you see the Democratic Party talking about the Epstein

523
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 3: files only for the sake of their politics and not

524
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 3: for the sake of the kids. Well, just chalk that down,

525
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 3: write that up. Is another reason why I'm not a Democrat,

526
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 3: why I'm not a leftist, why I'm not a progressive,

527
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 3: Because that's just too ugly for words, way too gross.

528
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 3: Let's head back to Representative Comer.

529
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: So why is that?

530
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 5: That's a question every reporter should be asking Ranking Member

531
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 5: Garcia and every Democrat on the committee. Why are you

532
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 5: helping to bring Bill Clinton in for an interview and deposition,

533
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 5: just like we brought in barn Acosta. The Oversight Committee

534
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 5: remains committed to accountability and transparency for the American people

535
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 5: and for Epstein's victims. Our investigation has not stopped during

536
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 5: the shutdown. We release more documents just this past Friday.

537
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 5: Democrats need to stop playing games and vote to reopen

538
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 5: the government.

539
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 4: With that, you'll back to this section.

540
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: Well, it's a press conference, you don't actually yield back

541
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 3: to the speaker. But there's no doubt that Democrats are

542
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 3: playing games regarding Epstein.

543
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: I want the information. I have said so from the beginning.

544
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 3: I took the slings and arrows of other radio hosts

545
00:30:58,720 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 3: and other personalities.

546
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Trump doesn't care about this. Why do

547
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: you care about this?

548
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 3: Because we were right and they were wrong, and now

549
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 3: we're here, get the information who was involved in abusing children.

550
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 3: Throw them in jail. If we can't get America to

551
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: agree on that, we are way more broken than I

552
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 3: ever thought. On Tony Katz, this is Tony Katz today,

553
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 3: Cringejohn Pierre continues to try and sell her book, and

554
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,239
Speaker 3: by doing so, goes on so called friendly outlets and

555
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 3: ends up running into the same question.

556
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: You saw how old and decrepit he was.

557
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 3: Why didn't you say anything, Tony Katz, Tony Katz.

558
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: Today, good to be with you, And yet once again, former.

559
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: White House Press Secretary under Joe Biden cringeh On Pierre says,

560
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 3: you don't understand here she is with Stephen Colbert.

561
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: Name and expanding healthcare.

562
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, there was really personal to those of us who

563
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 6: watched it too. There was a shock to our system

564
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 6: to see that, because I mean, you're talking to a

565
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 6: guy who helped raise twenty five million dollars for Joe

566
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 6: Biden in March of that same year, and thank you

567
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 6: for that, Thank you very much. Later that I saw

568
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 6: a guy who I had not seen backstage at the

569
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 6: benefit that I did it seemed like a dramatically different person,

570
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 6: and at eighty one years old, that's not entirely unexpected.

571
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: You can imagine why people got so worried.

572
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: First things, first, no one believes you, Stephen Colbert, that

573
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 3: you didn't see it earlier.

574
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: I certainly don't.

575
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 3: Secondly, twenty five million dollars Stephen Colbert raised that, so

576
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 3: we can be clear that these late night shows are

577
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 3: nothing more than arms of the Democratic Party. So maybe

578
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 3: we should be having a conversation about whether or not

579
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 3: hosts like that should get access to the public airwaves.

580
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: What they're they're admitting, what they do. How can you

581
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: ever expect a fair shot, a fair.

582
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 3: Shape, an honest moment from them raising twenty five million dollars,

583
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,959
Speaker 3: not that they wrote a check of their own raised

584
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 3: twenty five million dollars. I mean, it kind of kind

585
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 3: of tells itself right there what the story is. But

586
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 3: here's Colbert saying he got old and he had this

587
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 3: issue and listened to cringe John Pierre try and deflect.

588
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: So a couple of things.

589
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 7: I got to see Joe Biden almost every day, And

590
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 7: this is a question that I take very seriously. I

591
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 7: never no one has ever said he hasn't aged. No

592
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 7: one ever said that. He would make jokes about it.

593
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 7: He would acknowledge it, and he would say, yes, I know.

594
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 7: I don't speak this as well as I used to.

595
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 7: I don't walk as well as I used to. No

596
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 7: one is saying that he didn't age.

597
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: You did.

598
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 3: You said he was so on top of things, he

599
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 3: was so fast, he was running circles around the staff.

600
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 3: You and Jensaki said this, this is a lie.

601
00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking about.

602
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 7: Was he did he have the question that I was

603
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 7: getting the mental acuity?

604
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: Was he able to govern?

605
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 7: And the man that I saw nearly every day was

606
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 7: someone who was engaging, understood policy, and was always putting

607
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 7: the American people first.

608
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: And it showed.

609
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 7: It showed in what we were able to get done.

610
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: I remember I saw questioned.

611
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 6: His heart or his policy. It takes more than that

612
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 6: to be the president of United States. And in a

613
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 6: moment of great pressure on stage, we saw someone shock

614
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 6: us and worry us, and nothing could assuage that worry.

615
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 6: So I don't think it was necessarily a betrayal of

616
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 6: Joe Biden, as other people saying, we don't think we

617
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 6: were shown Joe Biden.

618
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 7: You saw I saw every day, a really ugly assault

619
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 7: on someone who had fifty plus years of experience.

620
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 3: My gosh, there's no no defense for the indefensible. A

621
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 3: cabal ran the country auto pen signed pardons, and very

622
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 3: possibly legislation. We were right, and you are still wrong

623
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 3: in this. You think it's an assault to say we

624
