Speaker 1: Welcome to the five o'clock show. It's time for common sense.
Speaker 1: Now it's Kats and Gosby with John Katsimatids and Rita
Speaker 1: Gosby standing for truth, justice and the American Way bringing
Speaker 1: common sense to the world. Now here's John Katsimatids and
Speaker 1: Rita Gosby breaking news WABC.
Speaker 2: And there is some big news here on Kats and
Speaker 2: Cosby John. President Trump making some big news moments ago
Speaker 2: with birthright.
Speaker 3: Tourism executive order.
Speaker 2: Executive order from the Oval Office, and who better. We've
Speaker 2: got Judge Weinberg with us. Obviously we also have Ed Cox,
Speaker 2: and we also have Governor Patterson and Judge Weinberg. Give
Speaker 2: us the sense of what it means and why he
Speaker 2: did it.
Speaker 4: You can do an executive order without legislation. This is
Speaker 4: narrowly tailored. He's going after people. For example, if you
Speaker 4: came here with a deliver intent to get citizenship and
Speaker 4: you didn't have a reasonable basis for being here, it's fraudulent.
Speaker 4: You don't get citizenship for your children. That's one the
Speaker 4: diplomats don't get citizenship for their kids.
Speaker 3: Number two.
Speaker 4: Number three, if you're the child of a foreign enemy citizen,
Speaker 4: you don't get citizenship, so all narrowly tell it.
Speaker 3: How about what my son's wife sore in California where
Speaker 3: they have I guess, homes with forty pregnant women that would.
Speaker 4: Fall within this executive good point, John, They would fall
Speaker 4: within this executive order.
Speaker 2: What about these birthright tourism companies like you know, like
Speaker 2: you see people from Russia, Ukraine, Mexico saying forty thousand dollars,
Speaker 2: I'm nine and a half months pregnant. I'm gonna come
Speaker 2: over and have a baby and then go back, and
Speaker 2: I'm paying forty fifty thousand.
Speaker 4: Let me add another dimension. I would prosecute those people
Speaker 4: for fraud.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're already doing it, so.
Speaker 4: Do that criminally. I proscuted them for fraud, put them
Speaker 4: out of business. And who have been doing this? Chinese?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chinese? You also hear Mexico. They have those big
Speaker 2: signs in Mexico, Russia, Ukraine. I mean you see these
Speaker 2: women saying, yeah, I paid X amount and now I
Speaker 2: have an American child.
Speaker 3: I have an American citizen in eighteen years. Now he'll
Speaker 3: bring me back and act in security. Yeah, I get bootstraps.
Speaker 3: They bootstrapped.
Speaker 4: They used the kids to bootstrap themselves and the rest
Speaker 4: of the family.
Speaker 2: You know, one of the things, guys, and that really
Speaker 2: resonates what you just said about countries that are enemies
Speaker 2: to us. I mean, by the.
Speaker 3: Way, the other big story Trump nuked El said.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He said that last night at
Speaker 2: the rally, and he said, this guy is making all
Speaker 2: these false promises. He's full of blank. Yeah that John.
Speaker 3: You I heard it someplace full of crap.
Speaker 2: There it is. That was the toned down version of it.
Speaker 3: So, I mean, hopefully the last time we all common
Speaker 3: and then commented on that that the Supreme Court shot
Speaker 3: him down because he was over was overbroad, his lawyers
Speaker 3: were not that smart and he was overbrought.
Speaker 4: Okay, right, and Professor John casimtit's the honorary lawyer, lawyer,
Speaker 4: but an excellent one, pointed out they should have narrowly
Speaker 4: tailor of that, which is good because the fat, you.
Speaker 3: Know, looks like fraud. You can't even say if you
Speaker 3: stopped the next hundred people walk by and ask him,
Speaker 3: does this sound like fraud? If they said yes, then
Speaker 3: it looks like.
Speaker 2: Frud Well, and the thing to you, guys, President Trump
Speaker 2: was saying that it's hundreds of thousands of people. This
Speaker 2: is not like a one off and the other thing.
Speaker 2: If you look at the list, like there's not that
Speaker 2: many countries that allowed birthright, citizenship a handful right, only
Speaker 2: a handful. So I mean we've been extremely generous, well
Speaker 2: beyond that at this point. And fraud, and.
Speaker 4: Let's go back to fundamentally, this argument is totally entrary
Speaker 4: to the legislative history of the fourteenth Amendment. This was
Speaker 4: to protect the African Americans who have been victims of slavery,
Speaker 4: to protect them. It was a limited application for a
Speaker 4: particular class. It wasn't a come on in for the
Speaker 4: whole world.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of come on in, I guess what's happening
Speaker 2: with the Democratic Party. They're all coming on in for
Speaker 2: l s. I ed you guys, the guy who won
Speaker 2: in Michigan.
Speaker 3: I can't believe it. I just you know, when Senator
Speaker 3: Schumer and I love the guy, he's a friend of
Speaker 3: mine for forty years.
Speaker 2: I can't believe he puts out a statement saying he
Speaker 2: has our full support. And Gretchen Whitmer, who was running
Speaker 2: supporting the woman Hailey Stevens, who was running a big
Speaker 2: supporter the current governor of Michigan said, oh, I'd never
Speaker 2: well within me. He is a great guy.
Speaker 3: I had Vice President pens On on Monday. What did
Speaker 3: he say? Us Republicans might have a few flaws, But
Speaker 3: the Democrats have lost their mind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think they have. And that's what want
Speaker 2: to say. It's a nice way they're doing.
Speaker 4: They're putting party over country. That's exactly they're saying it.
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting, Ed Cox to the judges point,
Speaker 2: they're coming right out like they're asked now in the
Speaker 2: hallways of Congress, what do you think about some of
Speaker 2: the horrible things this guy has said. He's hanging around
Speaker 2: with Hassan Piker, who says some even more vile things.
Speaker 2: Nine eleven was deserved, right, And and now they're saying, well,
Speaker 2: we want to have a majority, we would like to
Speaker 2: win the majority. They're they're they just say it.
Speaker 5: Ed Yeah, well, I'll say it's very careful. He didn't
Speaker 5: say that. Someone with him said that. But he's never
Speaker 5: he's gonna maneuver. He's very bright, guy is very he.
Speaker 4: Has to repudiate that. He has to say I denounced
Speaker 4: the DSA platform.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's and he's not. He's embracing it. He
Speaker 2: is embracing it, and many of them are coming out.
Speaker 2: You know, the only one who's had a spine, you guys,
Speaker 2: is Fetterman. Fetterman has been out there and he said
Speaker 2: nobody should be embracing That would be great. I can't
Speaker 2: wait because that guy has been really I just think
Speaker 2: a hero in the Democratic Party and in America. So hopefully,
Speaker 2: hopefully he is here so we can say bravo to him,
Speaker 2: right John, because boy, he really is. He's been taking
Speaker 2: some incoming. He and ELSI ed are fighting very publicly fighting.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, let them fight amongst themselves.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. There's also a new group, did you say?
Speaker 2: This is a new group called the Third Way that
Speaker 2: is spending fifteen million dollars. That sounds like a lot,
Speaker 2: but it's not a lot, obviously when you hear how
Speaker 2: much they yeah, that's not a lot. But at least
Speaker 2: they're trying to show that they're doing something within the
Speaker 2: Democratic Party to say we don't want socialism. What do
Speaker 2: you think of Patterson?
Speaker 6: I think it's a very good idea, and it gives
Speaker 6: people who are put in that position of being a
Speaker 6: Democrat and being pressured to support the winner of the primary.
Speaker 6: El said, it gives you another way to go, But
Speaker 6: I don't think that the Democratic Party is going to
Speaker 6: get anywhere until we stop as at times the Republican
Speaker 6: Party had to do and think about who's really helping
Speaker 6: us and who's really not. And the Socialists are not
Speaker 6: helping the Democratic Party even if they elected fifty of them.
Speaker 6: So the whole idea is just too Where there's a
Speaker 6: candidate who espouses what L. Sae does, don't endorse him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that would be the easiest thing, but you
Speaker 2: got to grow a spine first. I'm not talking about you,
Speaker 2: I'm talking about others in the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3: But who knows what a third way means? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, good point, Good point.
Speaker 4: Talk with the chairman about a better title after the show.
Speaker 4: We've got a lot going on, ed, we might need
Speaker 4: your help.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right. Well, you guys, let's go. Who better
Speaker 2: than Ari Fleischer, former White House Press secretary to talk
Speaker 2: about all of this? Ari, this is really really scary
Speaker 2: when you see this L. Sied guy, and already the
Speaker 2: great philosopher Hassan Piker, who seems to be hanging around
Speaker 2: with all these people. He came out and said this
Speaker 2: is going to be part of a national trend that
Speaker 2: if you're not with us, you're against us. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's like he's laying down the gauntlet in the Democratic Party.
Speaker 7: Oh I hope, So, I hope this is a national
Speaker 7: trend because I've got a feeling that Michigan is about
Speaker 7: to elect a Republican senator. I mean, you cannot have
Speaker 7: left somebody who was as radical as Sayid, And I
Speaker 7: want you to understand just how bad he is. Not
Speaker 7: only does he support people who say that America deserves
Speaker 7: nine to eleven, this guy has expressed his allegiance to
Speaker 7: the Muslim Brotherhood. In an op ed that he wrote,
Speaker 7: he called Israel bloodthirsty. He doesn't want illegals to be
Speaker 7: denied drivers' licenses. He argued for illegal people to come
Speaker 7: to America to get driver's licenses, and he criticized Oklahoma
Speaker 7: because they banned Sharia law. At it all up, we
Speaker 7: have never had an Islamist candidate like this run for
Speaker 7: office and be this blunt about it in the United
Speaker 7: States of America. He doesn't fit and he's going to lose.
Speaker 2: You know, I agree, John, don't you?
Speaker 3: It's crazy who has the courage, who has the courage
Speaker 3: and the Democratic Party to really take hold, and Young scream.
Speaker 7: There's there's nobody other than Senator Feedterman. You know, Senator
Speaker 7: Schumer just showed just how he has no courage, no backrade,
Speaker 7: and what he doesn't realize. And Hakim Jeffreys, the Democratic
Speaker 7: leader in the House, also that the outside yaths of
Speaker 7: the world, the Mondamis of the world, the Aosc's of
Speaker 7: the world, are coming to burn their big tent. They
Speaker 7: have a socialist tent that they want to put up
Speaker 7: in place of this previous democratic big tent. But Schumer
Speaker 7: and Jeffries are too blind to see what is coming
Speaker 7: to replace them. And that is exactly what the socialist
Speaker 7: movement is. And that's why that's why Elsayid was saying,
Speaker 7: this is the beginning of a national movement. That's why
Speaker 7: Piker is saying the same thing. There is a national
Speaker 7: movement underway, and it's up to good people, good independence,
Speaker 7: good Republicans. Some Democrats are wont to do so, to
Speaker 7: stand up, fight and defeat it.
Speaker 2: You know what I think of Ari when Chevalier, I
Speaker 2: believe one that's the woman in New York when she
Speaker 2: won the primary, and she's in a pretty safe, obviously
Speaker 2: blue district, and you look at at that party. I'll
Speaker 2: never forget. Hakim Jeffries came up on the pit on
Speaker 2: the video, remember he was speaking, and the whole crowd
Speaker 2: famously started chanting at him, your next, your next, your next.
Speaker 2: I mean, and if you listen to l Sied what
Speaker 2: I found really frightening with his sort of his rhetoric.
Speaker 2: He really was like even today, so nasty about Fetterman.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's like, my first target is Fetterman, My
Speaker 2: next is Schumer, my next. He's got like this list
Speaker 2: of people that he wants to take out politically, you know,
Speaker 2: push them out of office for people that he thinks
Speaker 2: espouse his views. That's dangerous.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you listen to his success rhetoric when he says
Speaker 7: Israel is blood thirsty. You know, somebody's blood thirsty. You
Speaker 7: need to stop them, right and need to engage in violence,
Speaker 7: stop somebody who's blood thirsty. He's calling on Fetterment. He's
Speaker 7: basically saying he wants to take Betterman's head off. Now
Speaker 7: I would imagine he's talking rhetorically, but you know, when
Speaker 7: I hear in islamis talk like that, it gives me pause.
Speaker 7: And the Muslim Brotherhood talks like that, it gives me pause.
Speaker 7: And so his language is really excessive in American politics.
Speaker 7: And this is why I said, just don't think he fits.
Speaker 7: He's going to have a very hard time. He barely
Speaker 7: won in Michigan after all those polls came out showing
Speaker 7: you how to commanding lead. The fact that the Democrat
Speaker 7: Party has split so deeply over him, and his base
Speaker 7: support is basically Columbia University. That's about it. He won
Speaker 7: the campuses in Michigan, he won the upper educated areas,
Speaker 7: the younger people areas, but working class people, blacks, they
Speaker 7: all voted for the opposition of the Democratic primary, prime
Speaker 7: pick up place for Republicans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is why it's interesting because right away Haley
Speaker 2: Stevens and Judge, you and I were talking about this,
Speaker 2: even before the primary happened. She said, I'm going to
Speaker 2: support if he wins, I'm going to support him.
Speaker 3: So Pari overcountry, right, Clonia right.
Speaker 2: And she's been very pro Israel, decently pro Israel. She
Speaker 2: took money from APEX, said I have no problem, I'm
Speaker 2: a supporter of Israel. But yet she's folding like a
Speaker 2: cheap suit.
Speaker 8: Ari.
Speaker 7: Yep, no, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were addressing
Speaker 7: that today. Yeah, this is the issue about politics, of course,
Speaker 7: is people want their team to win, they want their
Speaker 7: team to get the majority, and I can respect that
Speaker 7: up to a point. But the difference here is when
Speaker 7: David Duke was going to become the Republican nominee in
Speaker 7: Louisiana to become governor years ago, former head of the
Speaker 7: KKK Republicans abandoned him. They said we will never support you.
Speaker 7: They supported the Democrat ins dead principal thing to do.
Speaker 7: There's got to be more Democrats of principle here who
Speaker 7: are willing to say absolutely no, I will never support Abdulsie.
Speaker 7: He is too radical, he is too extreme, he is
Speaker 7: too anti Jewish, anti Israel. We will never support him.
Speaker 4: He's anti Western civilization.
Speaker 7: Democrat Party is not like that anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really By the way, did you guys see
Speaker 2: what Hassan Piker, who is now sort of like seems
Speaker 2: to be running the Democratic Party. According to a lot
Speaker 2: of people, you know, he came out and he said that,
Speaker 2: oh no, I don't dislike this country. I'm here, I'm
Speaker 2: staying here because I love it. That's why I'm criticizing it,
Speaker 2: because everyone's playing the same thing. You just said, Judge
Speaker 2: over and over again. America deserved nine to eleven, also
Speaker 2: defending the rapes on October. So, I mean he said
Speaker 2: the worst of the worst. He's trying to spin it
Speaker 2: like I just want to make the country better. It's
Speaker 2: not that.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to track the may A lot of people
Speaker 3: very angry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't that interesting, you guys? The language now after
Speaker 2: this because he knows now he's in general election mode.
Speaker 2: You know, he's trying to get l sil historical.
Speaker 4: He's trying to rewrite the historical record.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The problem is, as you guys know, it's all on tape.
Speaker 2: I mean it's over and over again where he's saying
Speaker 2: these things are right.
Speaker 7: Well, he's also enjoying his first of his fifteen minutes
Speaker 7: of fame. It was a nobody and all of a sudden,
Speaker 7: because he's got a couple of wins. Now the people
Speaker 7: that he's endorsed have had won. He's seeing himself as
Speaker 7: bigger than life, and he seeings kind of the way
Speaker 7: doctor Fauci saw himself is so famous. He sees himself
Speaker 7: as famous now inside the Democratic Party, I've got news
Speaker 7: for people like that. It's the lesson of Icarus. Your
Speaker 7: wings are going to get burnt the closer you get
Speaker 7: to the sun, especially when you have the radical views
Speaker 7: that he had, especially when you have two left wings
Speaker 7: that's fly closer to the sun. This is the risk
Speaker 7: when people like him get political roles, and then he
Speaker 7: encourages his candidates, in the case of Abdul said not
Speaker 7: to tone it down, to tone it up. And that
Speaker 7: does not fit the state of Michigan. So back to
Speaker 7: where we started this, can he win? What's the future
Speaker 7: of Michigan. I think the Democrats has just blown it.
Speaker 7: They blew it in Maine with Graham Platner, and they're
Speaker 7: probably blown it for the general and it looks look
Speaker 7: to make they've also blown it here in Michigan. This
Speaker 7: is probably the week. If we go back in November
Speaker 7: and look backwards, we're going to be able to say
Speaker 7: this is the week Republicans were able to keep the
Speaker 7: majority in the Senate.
Speaker 2: I mean, I agree, that's why it is such a pivotal,
Speaker 2: pivotal seat. I mean, if they can flip because Gary
Speaker 2: Peters is retiring, so it's an open seat. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's a big I'm looking at it, ed Cox.
Speaker 5: I don't think there's ever a question that the Republicans
Speaker 5: would hold on to the majority in the Senate. We're
Speaker 5: working through that now. The question is do we hold
Speaker 5: a majority in the House.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think are.
Speaker 7: Fifty to fifty? It's such a small, narrow margin that
Speaker 7: Republicans have, and tough year for Republicans going into it
Speaker 7: because history and the party in power always loses. On
Speaker 7: the other hand, because of redistrict and Republicans gave themselves
Speaker 7: a big boost because of Supreme Court ruling that, thank goodness,
Speaker 7: says you can't make districts based on race, Republicans got
Speaker 7: a boost. The other factor is because Republicans did not
Speaker 7: have a big wave in twenty twenty two. They had
Speaker 7: a small wave. They just aren't as many marginal Republicans
Speaker 7: in office who typically do lose in the first term,
Speaker 7: midterm like that, second term midterm like this, So it's
Speaker 7: a much smaller battlefield. And that's where I come out.
Speaker 7: It's a fifty to fifty race in the House. I
Speaker 7: think the edge went to Republicans this week in the Senate.
Speaker 7: But it's going to it's nobody knows. It's all going
Speaker 7: to be closed. It's up to the voter, it's not
Speaker 7: the pundits.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, well, Ari, thank you so much. We always
Speaker 2: love having you on. Ari. It's really happy.
Speaker 3: Did Democrats have to lose forty nine states to really
Speaker 3: get the message.
Speaker 2: Well, this might be the time. Maybe if a San
Speaker 2: Biker is the committee chair, it might happen.
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, Thank you, guys.
Speaker 2: Thank you, and John, I understand we have calling in
Speaker 2: now Joe Gruders.
Speaker 3: Of course I'll take this one. The RNC chair right yes, Thursday. Well,
Speaker 3: calling in right now is Chairman Joe Crude from the GOP.
Speaker 3: And well, there's so many things happening in this country,
Speaker 3: in Washington and the world, mister chairman, where do we start?
Speaker 9: Hey, listen, the Tuesday was a big night for America
Speaker 9: and everybody should be alert to what's happening with these
Speaker 9: radical leftists that are winning all across this country. But
Speaker 9: it should be highlighted that the guy in Michigan, this
Speaker 9: l Sie guy, is as bad as it comes. I
Speaker 9: call him the Michigan Mundami, but he's much worse. I mean,
Speaker 9: this is a guy who's best friends with Piker, who
Speaker 9: basically said we deserve nine to eleven. And that's just
Speaker 9: the beginning of it. I mean, we're in the fight
Speaker 9: for our lives. We gotta make sure people know what
Speaker 9: this DSA group and what these candidates are all about,
Speaker 9: and what they're trying to do. They're trying to fundamentally
Speaker 9: change America. We have to stop them. And in this
Speaker 9: Lsie character is, like I said, is as bad as
Speaker 9: they come. He's a Hamad supporter. He's for I would say,
Speaker 9: he's going to go up there and represent the best
Speaker 9: interests of Palestine, not Michiganders. And we got to, like
Speaker 9: I said, we got to expose him for what he is.
Speaker 9: And we got a lot of work to do.
Speaker 3: I can't understand how the American people can just vote
Speaker 3: for a guy that's so into the American I don't understand.
Speaker 3: Is it a result of all the migrants that he
Speaker 3: came in in the last five years ten years?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Listen, well that's what their policies. They don't want any
Speaker 9: boarders at all, They don't want to get rid of
Speaker 9: vice and any type of enforcement. They want amnesty for all.
Speaker 9: And listen, when you talk about jobs, you talk about
Speaker 9: the economy, you talk about housing. Every one of these
Speaker 9: families needs a place to stay, so it increases the demand.
Speaker 9: The supply is limited, and it makes it more expensive
Speaker 9: for everybody it goes.
Speaker 11: It's so much worse.
Speaker 9: I think we've failed as a country over the last
Speaker 9: twenty five years in terms of educating the young about
Speaker 9: the results of socialism. I mean, it didn't work in Havana,
Speaker 9: it didn't work in Crackets, it didn't work in Moscow.
Speaker 9: As a matter of fact, what happens in these places
Speaker 9: is it creates misery. Government's not the solution. Everything is
Speaker 9: not equal in the world of socialism. People that are
Speaker 9: on top are still on top. You just have no
Speaker 9: ability to ever get to where they are. And we
Speaker 9: have to communicate that. That's the message I'm telling my team,
Speaker 9: the fact that we failed the schools, that failed our kids,
Speaker 9: and people think socialism is the way to go. I said,
Speaker 9: we have to do a all out, you know war
Speaker 9: in terms of a campaign to let people know the
Speaker 9: impact of socialism communism. I talked to people who've escaped Cuba,
Speaker 9: and I talked to somebody who escaped Vietnam as a kid,
Speaker 9: and escaping the communism and escaping these disaster policies that
Speaker 9: leads rampant, like I said, misery amongst the people. It's
Speaker 9: never worked. But the fact that over fifty percent of
Speaker 9: the Democrats are in favor of it and are the
Speaker 9: positive opinion on socialism and are voting for these leftist
Speaker 9: radicals who basically are doing a coup from within, want
Speaker 9: to get rid of the presidency. If they want to
Speaker 9: get rid of Thanksgiving, I said, I said the commercials
Speaker 9: we should be airing is I wish the campaign was right.
Speaker 9: Thanksgiving was right before the campaign, and I would say,
Speaker 9: if you're sitting at a home enjoying, you know, turkey
Speaker 9: and watching football, these guys want to take Thanksgiving away.
Speaker 3: It's really unbelievable and it's hard to believe that the
Speaker 3: American people are going to go for that. Is it
Speaker 3: going to take losing forty nine states like they did
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty four to make a change and rub
Speaker 3: out the Socialist Party? I mean the Socialist Party by themselves,
Speaker 3: they only get two percent of the vote, but they
Speaker 3: have taken over the Democratic Party and it doesn't look
Speaker 3: like anybody has the courage to take it back.
Speaker 12: It just seems like people have given up and they
Speaker 12: have given up hope for themselves on achieving the American dream.
Speaker 12: And I think that they've given up hope that their
Speaker 12: kids can achieve the American dream. The only place in
Speaker 12: the world where you can go from nothing to something
Speaker 12: is America. We have the greatest gifts here in our country.
Speaker 12: If you work hard and bit of luck, you could
Speaker 12: go anywhere you want. You don't have to be born
Speaker 12: with a silver spoon in your mouth. That's the message
Speaker 12: we have to deliver, mar Domi in your city, New
Speaker 12: York City alone, with the grocery stores, the relentless attack
Speaker 12: on the wealthy, it's a it's resonating with.
Speaker 9: Like I said, people who have lost open. We have
Speaker 9: to somehow restore that hope and let people know that
Speaker 9: this president is going to bat for them and is
Speaker 9: trying to do everything he can't go in to fight
Speaker 9: for the American worker.
Speaker 3: President Trump being president. Mayor Mundami is better off having
Speaker 3: the president like him than not. I mean, because the
Speaker 3: federal money is where the money ready is, whether it's
Speaker 3: for housing or whether it's for transit or whatever. The
Speaker 3: money is in Washington right now, New York City is
Speaker 3: short money. New York State is short money. He would
Speaker 3: pay for Mayor Mundami to be nice to the President.
Speaker 9: Yes, and listen, the President loves New York City. I
Speaker 9: talked to him about it all the time. But the
Speaker 9: President is concerned about the rise of these commies and
Speaker 9: these socialists. He's worried about the direction that they want
Speaker 9: to take the country forget, you know, And that's why
Speaker 9: we have to expose them and let people know what
Speaker 9: these guys are really about. Government is not the answer.
Speaker 9: Government's not the answer. We could do better, you know,
Speaker 9: we we have the ability to, and so we got
Speaker 9: to work hard.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for coming on this Thursday evening,
Speaker 3: and let's catch up again real soon.
Speaker 9: Thanks John.
Speaker 2: Great discussion, John, really really important one.
Speaker 8: And I like you.
Speaker 2: The Michigan on Donnie.
Speaker 3: That's what it's called. He's been with the President for
Speaker 3: the last forty eight hours. Wow.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's right, because he went out to Vegas. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Very interesting. So you guys coming up, we're going to
Speaker 2: be talking to Greg Jared John about this big breaking
Speaker 2: news on the birthright tourism and also what happened in
Speaker 2: the Senate today in one of the panels with doctor Fauci.
Speaker 2: Could he be on the hot seat soon? We'll talk
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 1: Sense recap of a day's biggest stories. It's John Katzimadidi's
Speaker 1: and Rita Gosby Katz and Cosby on seventy seven WABC's
Speaker 1: Breaking News WABC, and.
Speaker 2: We are back here John on Katz and Cosby and
Speaker 2: President Trump signing two big executive orders tied to birthright
Speaker 2: citizenship just a little bit ago, and also what's next
Speaker 2: for doctor Fauci. Well on all of this, let's go
Speaker 2: to Greg Jarrett, great Fox News legal analyst and big
Speaker 2: best selling author, Greg, did you see this with the
Speaker 2: birthright tourism saying, you know, really putting the sort of
Speaker 2: screws and narrow casting so people can't just come here
Speaker 2: and have a baby and take advantage of.
Speaker 13: Us right And you could see this coming. Unlike Trump's
Speaker 13: original order when he took office, Today's executive orders, and
Speaker 13: there are two of them, are fairly limited in scope.
Speaker 13: The first one bans birth tourism and it's based on
Speaker 13: an existing federal regulation from twenty twenty that prohibits tourism
Speaker 13: and business visas for the purpose of obtaining US citizenship
Speaker 13: for a newborn. Anybody who does that can now be
Speaker 13: criminally prosecuted for fraud. And you know that's a huge number.
Speaker 13: You're talking about twenty to twenty five thousand birth tourists
Speaker 13: each year. And I think that order does fall squarely
Speaker 13: within the executive branch authority over immigration and visas. However,
Speaker 13: the second order is more difficult because it denies citizenship
Speaker 13: to those newborns. It would contradict the recent Supreme Court decision,
Speaker 13: which you and I have discussed. So you know that
Speaker 13: particular order will almost certainly be challenged right away in
Speaker 13: federal court. Trump knows that, but he wants the Supreme
Speaker 13: Court to re is it the issue on a narrower
Speaker 13: basis because the justices you'll recalled did, in fact, seem
Speaker 13: deeply concerned about the birth tourism problem. And Trump is right,
Speaker 13: it's smacks of fraud. These birth tourists are scamming the
Speaker 13: fourteenth Amendment. They don't hold any allegiance to the sovereign
Speaker 13: of the US. They just want their kids to have citizenships.
Speaker 13: So we'll see where this goes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you don't want to have a country that,
Speaker 2: you know, quote is an enemy of America. I mean
Speaker 2: you want to have, you know, maybe irodient IRGC kids
Speaker 2: coming over. I mean, I'm sorry that this is exactly
Speaker 2: what you don't want think about. During Afghanistan, some people
Speaker 2: tied to the Taliban got over on the planes. What
Speaker 2: if they're pregnant, they have an American child, then they
Speaker 2: have access to our country and our resources.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and one of the justices during oral argument raised
Speaker 13: the alarm bells on exactly what you're talking about birth
Speaker 13: tourism from enemy states. You know that jeopardizes America's national security.
Speaker 13: And so you know Trump is responding very directly to
Speaker 13: that concern with these two executive orders.
Speaker 2: And you know, other big deal is on Fauci today.
Speaker 2: This is wild that Ran Paul. They had the vote
Speaker 2: in the committee. It was party line, but it passed
Speaker 2: because of the Republican majority.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 2: Fauci who took invoked the Fifth one hundred and eleven times,
Speaker 2: and now they're sending it over to doj He says,
Speaker 2: you know what, I don't think He came right out
Speaker 2: and said, I don't think we have the votes in
Speaker 2: a full Senate to get the sixty votes because of
Speaker 2: the makeup, but I'm going to send it over to
Speaker 2: the DOJ and see what they will do. Maybe they
Speaker 2: might prosecute him. What do you think legally it's an
Speaker 2: interesting case.
Speaker 13: Yeah, if charges are brought, Fauci's lawyers will argue in
Speaker 13: federal court that is preemptive. Pardon, which was signed by
Speaker 13: Biden's auto pen, did not protect him last week when
Speaker 13: he was supposed to testify, since the pardon actually expired
Speaker 13: the day was signed January twenty, twenty twenty five, and
Speaker 13: therefore Fauci had a constitutional right to invoke the Fifth Amendment.
Speaker 13: And look, I'm no fan of Fauci. I agree with
Speaker 13: Senator Paul. I think he's long been lying to Congress
Speaker 13: about his funding of the Wuhan lab with a deadly
Speaker 13: virus I think escaped. But having said all of that,
Speaker 13: you know, his Fifth Amendment legal argument is valid in
Speaker 13: my judgment because at that moment last week, he was
Speaker 13: in legal jeopardy in two ways. If he lied, he
Speaker 13: could face federal charges for perjury and false statements. And second,
Speaker 13: his pardon doesn't protect him from any future state charges
Speaker 13: arising from that testimony last week. Already there are four
Speaker 13: states who have launched active investigations into Fauci that could
Speaker 13: result in charges. And look, even Ran Paul admits that
Speaker 13: the issue will end up being decided in the courts.
Speaker 13: You know, he argued last week that the pardon meant
Speaker 13: Fauci had to testify. I think he's wrong. The only
Speaker 13: way the committee can force Fauchi to talk is to
Speaker 13: grant him immunity, and that would give him immunity both
Speaker 13: federal and state. But Senator Paul I want to do
Speaker 13: that because it would allow Fauci to escape all culpability.
Speaker 9: For everything he did.
Speaker 13: So you know, the bottom line is it'll go to court.
Speaker 13: Fauci will probably win on the issue of the Fifth Amendment.
Speaker 2: Did you see today it came out that they have
Speaker 2: his cell phone. Now, I remember the diaries came out,
Speaker 2: but because it was a work phone and it was
Speaker 2: given to him for his work capacity, they have his
Speaker 2: now his work phone, so who knows what who Fauci
Speaker 2: was texting.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, look, if you read through the diary,
Speaker 13: I haven't gotten through all of it, but I've read
Speaker 13: some salient portions of it. It's self incriminating. I mean,
Speaker 13: you know, here he is publicly saying, oh, the virus
Speaker 13: came from nature in a wet market in you know, China. Privately,
Speaker 13: he's conceding in his diary, you know it probably came
Speaker 13: from the Wuhan Lab. So and then, of course, if
Speaker 13: you look at his testimony in years past under questioning
Speaker 13: by Center Rampaul, it seems to me that Fauci is
Speaker 13: clearly lying about his gain of function support for that
Speaker 13: particular Wuhan lab. And by the way, if you're going
Speaker 13: to get money to a lab, that Wuhan Lab is
Speaker 13: the last place on Earth you should give money to.
Speaker 13: It had an abysmal track record for safety. You know,
Speaker 13: it was a recipe for leaking a deadly virus. That
Speaker 13: this gain of function insanity. It takes a virus and
Speaker 13: turns it into this sort of supersized Frankenstein deadly monster.
Speaker 13: There's no way that you can morally or even scientifically
Speaker 13: justify doing that, given the incredible risk that you could
Speaker 13: end up killing tens of millions of people worldwide, which
Speaker 13: is what happened Fauchi.
Speaker 3: I think he knew a lot more than he was saying,
Speaker 3: and I think he lied to a lot of people,
Speaker 3: and he knew the truth, and he didn't tell us
Speaker 3: the truth.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you're absolutely right. And the other aspect of this
Speaker 13: thing is that when you read his diary, what a
Speaker 13: narcissistic you know, a vain, glorious person, you know, marinating
Speaker 13: in his own fame. He's the kind of guy who
Speaker 13: fell in love every time he passed by a mirror.
Speaker 14: I mean, that's love naunciating, you know, and it's.
Speaker 2: Just love is blind, right, Love is blind.
Speaker 13: Yeah, Well, he didn't care about the people who were dying,
Speaker 13: according to his his diary, he only cared about the
Speaker 13: number of times he was on TV and all the
Speaker 13: adoration he was getting on the most famous man in
Speaker 13: the world. It truly is sickening and shameful.
Speaker 2: By the way, one of the things in the Florida case,
Speaker 2: I was seeing, you guys, the Attorney general there is
Speaker 2: saying that Fauchi was having his staff apply for awards.
Speaker 2: And one of the things they're investigating in the Florida case,
Speaker 2: it was a million dollar award and maybe like only
Speaker 2: a portion had to go back into research, and it
Speaker 2: meant that he would have had nine hundred and they're
Speaker 2: investing in them. He might have got nine hundred thousand,
Speaker 2: you know, some personal money that much for some more
Speaker 2: than he was pushing them over and over again apply
Speaker 2: for these and obviously that's unseemly at a time where
Speaker 2: he's clearly telling different stories to the public like capitalizing.
Speaker 13: You know, and the law also calls that fraud, so,
Speaker 13: you know, for money and pressuring you know, colleagues and
Speaker 13: people under him to promote him for these awards so
Speaker 13: he could reap the financial benefits. You know that. Give
Speaker 13: me some time and I could probably come up with
Speaker 13: three or four more other crimes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, keep us boasted, Greg, Thank you so much
Speaker 2: for Greg. You're terrific. Thank you, Greg.
Speaker 3: And how about the top news of the day that's
Speaker 3: sponsored by Goya Foods.
Speaker 1: It's the Tough News of the Day sponsored by Goya.
Speaker 1: Here's Rina Cosby.
Speaker 2: And we love those healthy Goya beans. They are the
Speaker 2: best guys. And here are some of the big headlines. Well,
Speaker 2: tonight it is primary night in Tennessee. The top race
Speaker 2: is the Republican primary for governor, where Senator Marshall Blackburn,
Speaker 2: Congressman John Rose, and state Representative Monte Fritz are competing
Speaker 2: to replace term limited Governor Bill Lee. Marshall Blackburn very
Speaker 2: handily ahead in that race according to the polls, and
Speaker 2: also Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell has been discharged from the
Speaker 2: rehab center where he had been recovering after a fall
Speaker 2: in June. In a statement released by his office today,
Speaker 2: he says he continued to engage with his staff and
Speaker 2: will with his colleagues on important Senate business while he
Speaker 2: is recovering from home and hopes to be back soon.
Speaker 2: We'll find out all the latest on that, and coming up,
Speaker 2: we're going to be talking about the midterms and Democratic Socialists,
Speaker 2: what's going on in the Democratic Party, and what's going
Speaker 2: on in the GOP with the former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Speaker 2: Right after the break.
Speaker 1: Yourk commuting home with Kats and Cosby. Now here's John
Speaker 1: katsimds and Rita Gosby on seventy seven wa DC.
Speaker 3: Well let's go to Washington the former Speaker Kevin McCarthy
Speaker 3: is where they said, well, so many things to talk about, Rita.
Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, they're sure is. And obviously everyone's looking at
Speaker 2: this winn in Michigan. Also next week is a primary
Speaker 2: in Wisconsin with another and tonight Yessay Tennessee with Marshall Blackburn,
Speaker 2: who we love.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how well, she's only gonna wain by twenty points.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Right, that's that's called a win win win trounce win. Right. Well,
Speaker 2: joining us now is the former Speaker we love him,
Speaker 2: Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Kevin Where do you think this
Speaker 2: is going? First of all, with the DSA, I mean,
Speaker 2: this is a this is an opportunity. President Trump said
Speaker 2: last night, this is a great opportunity for the Republicans because, boy,
Speaker 2: the battle lines are drawn and the quality can't be
Speaker 2: more of a contrast.
Speaker 8: It truly is. I mean it's the DSA, the Democrats
Speaker 8: socialist organization. They don't even want to be Democrats, but
Speaker 8: they're because they're truly socialists. And it's Bernie Sanders feeling
Speaker 8: because of the weak leadership of currently and the Democrats
Speaker 8: by Jakim and Schumer, that he's trying to take over
Speaker 8: the Democratic Party and he's being very successful. I mean,
Speaker 8: at first the Democrats would just throw it off. Oh
Speaker 8: it's because it's New York. Well, now they won in Colorado,
Speaker 8: took out incumbents, and now they want Michigan, which is
Speaker 8: a swing state. So they have now decided their party
Speaker 8: that they are socialists. I mean Bernie Sanders and Mandanni
Speaker 8: are running the head of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't that amazing when you look at it. We
Speaker 2: had on them earlier. We had Joe Gruder's on with
Speaker 2: the RNC and he called LSI ed the Michigan Mundani
Speaker 2: and there's a real, like, you know, what's interesting, Kevin,
Speaker 2: there is such a like almost a nastiness to him.
Speaker 2: Mundanni had seemed to smile a lot more and uh,
Speaker 2: not that the messaging was different, but this one is like,
Speaker 2: you know, saying, he uses the i'm here, I'm here.
Speaker 2: We're coming like Muhammad Ali for the fight, slamming anybody
Speaker 2: who's not pronouncing his name right. If you're not with us,
Speaker 2: you're against us. It's very very provocative, divisive language.
Speaker 8: Yes, very negative, I mean coming at you now. Republicans
Speaker 8: people would say, oh, do we have a better chance
Speaker 8: of winning? It's still a very difficult. We can't take
Speaker 8: anything for granted. Everybody's got to get out and run.
Speaker 8: But there's a real contrast between Mike Rodgers, who was
Speaker 8: an FBI agent, who was a head of Intel Committee
Speaker 8: in Congress, came very very close to winning last time,
Speaker 8: less than twenty thousand votes against Senator Slotkin, and I
Speaker 8: feel as though, listening to a lot of Democrats in
Speaker 8: Michigan telling me they will not vote for the Democrat
Speaker 8: nominee because he is not just left. He is a
Speaker 8: socialist that goes to a point that's beyond of what
Speaker 8: you think in America. And it's a real scare for
Speaker 8: a lot of people.
Speaker 2: So what do you think is going to happen, Kevin?
Speaker 2: To those people who viscerally can't stand what elseiad stands for?
Speaker 2: Will they go to the Republican and Mike Rodgers? Will
Speaker 2: they stay home? What do you think?
Speaker 8: Well, I think if you follow Mike Rodgers, especially in
Speaker 8: his time in Congress and others, he's one that worked
Speaker 8: with both sides of the aisle. He was what I
Speaker 8: always call the common sense Republican. He listened to all
Speaker 8: and he was a true leader. I think given the opportunity,
Speaker 8: the first thing they're going to do there is going
Speaker 8: to be open to be looking at Mike Rogers, uh
Speaker 8: to see where both candidates stand. But the last thing
Speaker 8: we want is people not to participate. If you don't participate,
Speaker 8: you could end up with the socialist in the Senate.
Speaker 8: You've got to think about this first. It was AOC
Speaker 8: and if you didn't have AO. If you didn't if
Speaker 8: you didn't have Bernie Sanders, you never got AOC. And
Speaker 8: without AOC, you would have never got Mendannie. And now
Speaker 8: what has Ben Donnie been able to do? Electing more
Speaker 8: to the to the Congress now and now you want
Speaker 8: to take over the Senate. This is scary because you
Speaker 8: want to you want to go deeper than just say
Speaker 8: they're socialists. What do they what is their platform? What
Speaker 8: do they believe? Well, first of all, they believe that
Speaker 8: the president shouldn't be elected, Okay, but that should be
Speaker 8: an executive that the Congress. Why do they want the
Speaker 8: Congress because they couldn't win nationwide? But what if they
Speaker 8: want enough seats? What if they were able to decide?
Speaker 8: It is scary. The positions that they have go against
Speaker 8: the core, especially when we're celebrating two hundred and fifty
Speaker 8: years of America and what our founders truly believed in
Speaker 8: this republic that you wanted to put together.
Speaker 2: I think also Kevin in terms of the borders too.
Speaker 2: One of the other things is open borders. You just
Speaker 2: show that footage of what happened in Spain and say
Speaker 2: you want this back on our American borders, I mean
Speaker 2: to me, I mean, that's what they're talking about. They're
Speaker 2: wide open borders. They think even those who've committed heinous
Speaker 2: crimes should not be deported. I mean, ask anybody Republican Democrat.
Speaker 2: That is stunning.
Speaker 8: That is stunning, and you and I believe that same way.
Speaker 8: But you know what, you could reverse that. That was
Speaker 8: happening in America under Joe Biden. And I remember going,
Speaker 8: why is into America? Waking up at that moment? I mean,
Speaker 8: President Trump has done an excellent job securing our border,
Speaker 8: but what was transforming in there? And get to the
Speaker 8: country even to wake up. There's many times that the
Speaker 8: networks would not even cover what was going on down there.
Speaker 8: And then Joe Biden put Kamala Harris in charge, she
Speaker 8: would ever even go visit it. So if not like
Speaker 8: that's a far fetched idea that could happen in America,
Speaker 8: it was happening in America, and look at the damage
Speaker 8: that it did. Just think back a little ways in
Speaker 8: New York. What were the streets looking like, people being
Speaker 8: put up in those hotels, people not feeling safe?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're right, you're right. It sadly was America
Speaker 2: and the question is you want to go back there again?
Speaker 2: And I think even the common sense Democrat.
Speaker 3: Says no, well, we never want to go back down.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, but if Republicans stay home, that very well could
Speaker 8: be the case.
Speaker 3: Well I have to stay home.
Speaker 8: Yeah, But I'm telling you when I look at polling
Speaker 8: right now, the Democrats are enthusiastic. And I know a
Speaker 8: lot of them say, oh, they won't vote for the socialists,
Speaker 8: but they just want to win. Look how many Democrats
Speaker 8: who are prior that are elected to say they would
Speaker 8: never support this position, but now they're saying, okay, hey,
Speaker 8: won we're there that they would allow that to happen.
Speaker 8: And remember the Democrats, he said that allowed those borders
Speaker 8: to happen. So what I'm finding is the Democrats have
Speaker 8: more enthusiasm to vote than Republicans. Republicans cannot sit back
Speaker 8: and take this for granted, and we really have to
Speaker 8: be talking to the independents and others of what does
Speaker 8: a social democratic socialist believe in and what would their policies.
Speaker 2: Be exactly, because you know, it's interesting. Even in that
Speaker 2: Michigan primary, it was historic numbers for an election. As
Speaker 2: you know it, I think it was like five hundred
Speaker 2: thousand more than they typically have. So there is an
Speaker 2: enthusiasm at least getting out to vote for these individuals,
Speaker 2: and in both cases on this one because it was
Speaker 2: such a narrow race, but still to your point, it's
Speaker 2: an enthusiasm. You don't have Trump on the top of
Speaker 2: the ticket this time in the midterms, Kevin.
Speaker 8: No, And remember when Trump was on the ticket, we
Speaker 8: got a better turnout. Trump won the popular vote, which
Speaker 8: is a very very big deal. He won every swing state,
Speaker 8: Michigan and the others. But at the same time, Trump
Speaker 8: won Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and the Republicans didn't
Speaker 8: win it for the Senate there and here you are,
Speaker 8: President Trump not only wins and wins the popular vote,
Speaker 8: we lost seats in Congress, but four years prior, not
Speaker 8: one Republican lost income it. We actually beat fifteen Democrats.
Speaker 8: And so that's why I get concerned. When Trump's there,
Speaker 8: he helps everybody. But Trump's not on the ticket this time,
Speaker 8: and they can't just always rely that the president has
Speaker 8: to do everything. They've got to work hard themselves.
Speaker 3: Trump is going to go out and campaign as if
Speaker 3: he is on the ticket. Yes, I know, that for sure.
Speaker 8: I mean, well, we know.
Speaker 3: How much he knows, how much is at stake it this.
Speaker 8: Election, but I want people to help him. At the
Speaker 8: same time, we can't always just make the president do everything.
Speaker 8: He's raised so much money for the party. The party
Speaker 8: is never it's never been this disproportionate where Republicans have
Speaker 8: more money than the Democrats. And that's really all the
Speaker 8: thanks to President Trump.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, the money game. If you look at it,
Speaker 2: they're you know, they're having problems even like keeping the
Speaker 2: lights on in the headquarter buildings. Hellow, Kevin McCarthy. We
Speaker 2: love you, mister speaker. It's always so great to have
Speaker 2: you on.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
Speaker 8: All right, thank you guys, Thank.
Speaker 2: You very much. Thank you, and you guys. We have
Speaker 2: now calling in Senator Eric Schmidt from the great state
Speaker 2: of Missouri.
Speaker 3: I'll take them quolling in right now is Senator Eric Schmidt,
Speaker 3: and it's been a very interesting day in Washington. Well, Senator,
Speaker 3: tell us what the heck is going on? And we
Speaker 3: got the migians and listeners that are waiting for you
Speaker 3: to say it.
Speaker 11: Well, we got a lot going on right now in
Speaker 11: the Senate. We're here we're dealing with, you know, funding
Speaker 11: the government. That's an issue. We've got this college sports
Speaker 11: legislation that I've been working on with the President. Randy
Speaker 11: Levine hometown New Yorker, has been on the President's Council.
Speaker 11: We're trying to address some of the issues we've seen
Speaker 11: in college sports with you know, kind of unlimited transfers,
Speaker 11: no eligibility requirements. We've got twenty seven year olds competing
Speaker 11: with seventeen year olds. It's just been kind of this chaos,
Speaker 11: and so you know, we're trying to provide some limited
Speaker 11: anti trust exemption status for the NCAA to set rules,
Speaker 11: to enforce rules that will protect women's sports, protect our
Speaker 11: Olympic sports. So there's a lot going on with that,
Speaker 11: but I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful we can get to a
Speaker 11: bipartisan way of addressing this so that you know, college sports.
Speaker 11: College football is uniquely American institution, right, It's something that
Speaker 11: brings us together, and we're really at risk of losing
Speaker 11: a lot of that because it's cools like Rutgers, for example,
Speaker 11: they're losing over one hundred million dollars a year with
Speaker 11: their athletic department. They're just not going to be able
Speaker 11: to offer women's sports, Olympic sports, and we don't want
Speaker 11: that to happen, so we've got to provide some stability.
Speaker 11: So that's one of the things we're working on, in
Speaker 11: addition to some other things here in the Senate sender.
Speaker 3: Not everybody understands what's going on with college football, and
Speaker 3: no Randy Levine, a hometown guy president of the Yankees,
Speaker 3: is on that committee. Tell us the big differences between
Speaker 3: both sides.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so right now, and by the way, I did
Speaker 11: give Randy a little trouble my Cardinals beat the Yankees
Speaker 11: two out of three. But having said that, there's a
Speaker 11: lot of issues going on right now. Where it used
Speaker 11: to be right, players could never ever leave a school
Speaker 11: if a coach left, They could never really transfer without
Speaker 11: a penalty. Athletes were never compensated at all, even though
Speaker 11: their name and their image and their like likeness was
Speaker 11: up on a video game. And so over the course
Speaker 11: of the last decade, there have been some positive changes.
Speaker 11: Athletes can now actually be compensated for that, and I
Speaker 11: support that. But the problem now is John, is that
Speaker 11: it's so out of whack. There are no rules. So
Speaker 11: when you see in the news a twenty seven year
Speaker 11: old who played in a professional basketball league is now
Speaker 11: being able to come back and play in college against
Speaker 11: a seventeen year old. That's crazy. Being able to transfer
Speaker 11: every year and graduation rates are plummeting, that's crazy. So
Speaker 11: really what we're trying to do. If you would have
Speaker 11: asked me a couple of years ago, John, if this
Speaker 11: was something that Congress should get involved in, I've been
Speaker 11: very skeptical. But the truth is, because of all this litigation,
Speaker 11: there's only one entity on the planet that can give
Speaker 11: legal protection to a governing body to set and enforce rules,
Speaker 11: and that's Congress. And so that's why we're working on
Speaker 11: this because we want to provide that stability for things
Speaker 11: that on Saturdays people love coming together and Washington Football,
Speaker 11: and we want to protect that because at the rate
Speaker 11: we're going right now, you're gonna have a lot of
Speaker 11: universities that are gonna drop it.
Speaker 7: You're gonna have.
Speaker 11: This constant conference movement, and you're just gonna have a
Speaker 11: lot of these other non revenue sports like women's tennis
Speaker 11: or even baseball men's baseball be dropped because I can't
Speaker 11: afford to offer those sports that are lose money for them.
Speaker 11: If football then is losing money. So that's really the
Speaker 11: problem we're trying to get at. The President, good friend
Speaker 11: of yours, good friend of mine, is working very very
Speaker 11: hard on this, and he wants to see He's a
Speaker 11: sports guy, he loves sports. He sees what's happened in
Speaker 11: college sports, and he wants to be part of the solution.
Speaker 11: And that's why I'm involved to So.
Speaker 3: You think we're in the right direction.
Speaker 7: I do. I do.
Speaker 11: I'm hopeful we can get something done out of the
Speaker 11: Senate here in the next few days and then they'll
Speaker 11: go to the House when they come back in September,
Speaker 11: and maybe we can get the President to sign it
Speaker 11: on a college game day or something in the fall.
Speaker 11: That'd be a good result.
Speaker 3: Understood well, Thursday night before summer weekend. Anything else you
Speaker 3: want to tell the American people, I just.
Speaker 11: Think you know you're in the middle of it. I
Speaker 11: think we've got to have eyes wide open here about
Speaker 11: what we're facing on the other side, getting into more
Speaker 11: political realm with what's happened with the Democrat Party. I mean, look,
Speaker 11: it's not just this hammer and sickle wave we saw
Speaker 11: in New York with Mandami and then the city council.
Speaker 11: People that won that want to dismantle Western civilization, that
Speaker 11: want to defund the police, that want to defund ice,
Speaker 11: that want to get rid of the Senate, want to
Speaker 11: get rid of the presidency, want to get rid of
Speaker 11: the Supreme Court. I mean, these are radical ideas. It's
Speaker 11: happening also in places like Michigan, where this elsi ed
Speaker 11: guy just won the Democrat primary. So I think as
Speaker 11: a Republican myself, from an electoral perspective, maybe you would say, hey,
Speaker 11: that makes it easier for us to win. But as
Speaker 11: an American, I think it's a disaster. I just think
Speaker 11: in this country, the things that we know and love
Speaker 11: about this country will want to preserve, we want to protect.
Speaker 11: But this is what happens when you have an education
Speaker 11: system that sort of prioritizes curriculum that teaches young people
Speaker 11: to hate America and divides the room by race all
Speaker 11: the time. So we got a lot of challenges in
Speaker 11: front of us. You know, the President's doing a good job,
Speaker 11: and I think as Republicans, we have to make sure
Speaker 11: we offer a competing vision here that allows people to
Speaker 11: be more prosperous and it doesn't divide people, but bring
Speaker 11: industry back, this reindustrialization of America, the investment we can
Speaker 11: have getting people, you know, back to work with real jobs,
Speaker 11: with those wages growing. That's an important thing I think
Speaker 11: we've got to focus on.
Speaker 3: I had former Vice President Penson in the office the
Speaker 3: other day and he said it perfectly. He says, US
Speaker 3: Republicans might have a few differences amongst ourselves, but the
Speaker 3: Democrats have completely lost their minds.
Speaker 11: Yeah, the Democrat Party at this point is almost sort
Speaker 11: of post American.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 11: You look at the polling numbers, John, of the number
Speaker 11: of Democrats who say they're proud to be an American,
Speaker 11: it's like one in three. You compare that with Republicans,
Speaker 11: it's you know, obviously sky high, like ninety percent. And
Speaker 11: by the way, that ninety percent never wavered even when
Speaker 11: we had a disaster in the White House with Joe Biden. Republicans.
Speaker 11: You know, I just don't understand what's happening with Democrats.
Speaker 11: This is not your your grandfather's Democrat Party. They just
Speaker 11: sort of, you know, it's just kind of wild.
Speaker 3: Santa Schmid, thank you so much for coming on this
Speaker 3: Thursday evening, and we'll catch up with you again thanks Jean.
Speaker 2: Wow, very interesting discussion there with Eric Schmid. I love Eric.
Speaker 2: He's such a great.
Speaker 3: Guy, and he was an attorney general before he was
Speaker 3: a senator, and and he knows about what the heck
Speaker 3: is going.
Speaker 2: On, he sure does. Yeah, all there's a lot of it.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, John, I mean it's just been incredible,
Speaker 2: even doctor Oz what he was talking about the other
Speaker 2: day on that area too.
Speaker 3: Wow. And JD.
Speaker 2: Van's at the Helm and you guys, speaking of who
Speaker 2: knows what's going on, let's go to Brigadier General John Tigert. Uh,
Speaker 2: what are you hearing is the latest with Iron Brigadier General?
Speaker 2: Because it's interesting. There's a lot of stuff heating up
Speaker 2: all so with the Red Sea. The Saudis are saying
Speaker 2: some of their tankers were fired on by the Hootsies.
Speaker 2: And now this is saying that the Utsis attacked ye
Speaker 2: many government forces and that the Utsis killed several dozen people.
Speaker 2: So the Utsies are getting pretty anxious, it.
Speaker 14: Seems, John, and Rita, thanks for having me in the
Speaker 14: thing that I'm watching most closely.
Speaker 3: Though.
Speaker 14: It does matter a lot what's going on in Yemen
Speaker 14: and the Housies is whether this deal that we've heard
Speaker 14: about that's brewing between Iran and Oman is actually going
Speaker 14: to play out. And I'm worried that if there's any
Speaker 14: tolls associated with this, then it means that the United
Speaker 14: States is just buying into something that weakens our position
Speaker 14: around the world by allowing Iran to make money off
Speaker 14: of tolls through the straight up her moves. And I
Speaker 14: want to make sure we get back to what the
Speaker 14: Vice President promised us, which is if there is a deal,
Speaker 14: it must be performance based, which means Iran does not
Speaker 14: get the major benefits of the deal if they do
Speaker 14: not demonstrate compliance to the deal.
Speaker 2: I don't think Trump would ever agree to a deal
Speaker 2: where you know, Iran would get some sort of toll
Speaker 2: or some benefit. Then it's not free and fair passage.
Speaker 2: And who would ever hand over the straits to, you know,
Speaker 2: to Iran in any capacity.
Speaker 4: And give and good to talk to again Genera and
Speaker 4: give them more money for more wages of terrorism. I mean,
Speaker 4: how does that make any sense?
Speaker 14: No, it doesn't make sense at all. And I'll tell
Speaker 14: you I think the President's instincts keep being right when
Speaker 14: he makes these threats about bombing power and energy sites,
Speaker 14: especially carg Island. I think those are his instincts, and
Speaker 14: I don't know why he's backing off of those instincts,
Speaker 14: but those things would help us regain the initiative. It
Speaker 14: would neuter and strangle the regime. And I wish he
Speaker 14: carried out some of those threats instead of backing off
Speaker 14: and considering making a deal.
Speaker 4: And the problem is based on reporting he did so
Speaker 4: at the urging of the Saudis. But where the Saudis
Speaker 4: in this issue stepping up and doing what they have.
Speaker 2: Which is why the HUTSI it's so interesting because they're
Speaker 2: going after the Saudis at a time where they know
Speaker 2: the Saudis are trying to talk to President Trump.
Speaker 3: It's an interesting I can't have it both ways.
Speaker 4: I either want to win and take care of the
Speaker 4: Iranian threat, where they're going to have to deal with
Speaker 4: an Iranian threat that go on for decades.
Speaker 14: General, It's true, and the only reason the Husis are
Speaker 14: starting to raise up is because their Iranian masters are
Speaker 14: seeing weakness, either by the United States or by the Saudis.
Speaker 14: And we've got to demonstrate strength because I know for
Speaker 14: sure the only language the regime understands and Iran is
Speaker 14: strengths capability will and resolve, and we must get back
Speaker 14: to that instead of trying to find a weak deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the question is when too, because President Trump was
Speaker 2: saying he thinks something's imminent. Look and I he came
Speaker 2: out last night actually with a very powerful line. And John,
Speaker 2: you've said this before too. We said, you know, I
Speaker 2: would like a deal. I don't want to kill people.
Speaker 2: I don't want to do this. I mean, he denly
Speaker 2: said that, right, admirable.
Speaker 3: But but and he doesn't want to take down bridges
Speaker 3: and doesn't want to take down the electric grid. But uh,
Speaker 3: you know who is really running Iran? I don't know. Well.
Speaker 14: The reason why I keep going back to carg Island,
Speaker 14: John and Rita is because all of the financing to
Speaker 14: the regime depends on their ability to export oil through CARG.
Speaker 14: You don't have to kill people, You just have to
Speaker 14: strangle the regime by cutting off their ability to export oil.
Speaker 14: And that makes the strongest statement possible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it'll be just like my friends scheduled the
Speaker 3: breakfast last week, It'll be one hundred and fifty dollars oil.
Speaker 14: I think that that's already factored in because the strait
Speaker 14: has been cut off for the last six months. I
Speaker 14: don't think cutting off Iran's oil exports is actually going
Speaker 14: to do anything substantial.
Speaker 7: To the price of oil.
Speaker 3: I hope so, thank you.
Speaker 2: I hope so too.
Speaker 3: Wow, Well keep us dragon Dragon as his nickname is, Yeah,
Speaker 3: we hope.
Speaker 2: Wait, did we ever find out why they call him dragon?
Speaker 3: No? We know he keeps out a secret.
Speaker 14: How did they get that held secret even to my
Speaker 14: good friends like you all?
Speaker 8: Ah?
Speaker 2: Okay, top secret, top secret mission? All right, thank you, general,
Speaker 2: thank you very much. And you guys were going to
Speaker 2: go to Tennessee because there's a big primary there tonight,
Speaker 2: lots of races. We're going to do that after the
Speaker 2: break us.
Speaker 1: It's a common sense recap of the big stories. It's
Speaker 1: Cats and Cosby on seventy seven WABC.
Speaker 15: Born on the mountaintop of tennis See Green Estate in
Speaker 15: the Land of the Free, raised in the woods, so's
Speaker 15: he knew every tree killed him a bar when he
Speaker 15: was only three.
Speaker 2: Baby, Well, John, we're playing me Tenny problem. You love
Speaker 2: that song, right, that's great, love it, it's great. Well,
Speaker 2: we're playing that song because in about two hours or so,
Speaker 2: the polls are going to be closing in the Great
Speaker 2: state of Tennessee. And who better to tell us about
Speaker 2: the big primaries tonight then g O Pachair Scott Golden
Speaker 2: Scott fill us in on the big races. Obviously, Governor
Speaker 2: is one of the biggies.
Speaker 10: Well, thank you for playing the Davy Crockett song. That's uh.
Speaker 10: You know, his famous speech if y'all can go to
Speaker 10: Hell and I'm going to Texas was in my hometown.
Speaker 10: So let's hope it's not going to be that bad
Speaker 10: for everybody tonight. But we do got a great goubernatorial primary. Obviously.
Speaker 10: Senator Marshall Blackburn, Congressman John Rose, and State Representative Monte
Speaker 10: Fritz are the three Republican candidates. Polls have been all
Speaker 10: over the place. I think what what I hear most
Speaker 10: often is it's probably going to be a close election tonight.
Speaker 10: Oh wow, where a couple yeah, a couple of votes
Speaker 10: one way or the other. Poles of it. You know,
Speaker 10: it started obviously Senator Blackburn had had tremendous name id
Speaker 10: and and it and you know, as it's developed over
Speaker 10: the over the course of the of the months, it's
Speaker 10: it's you know, it's other candidates have gotten in there
Speaker 10: and spoken the polls have titened, and uh so some
Speaker 10: will say it. I've seen some that are statistical ties,
Speaker 10: and I save others that has Senator Blackburn with a
Speaker 10: small lead. So we'll see what ultimately what the voters
Speaker 10: decide tonight.
Speaker 2: Wow, what about some of the other races there too,
Speaker 2: because there's some others, right, there's some House ones there are.
Speaker 10: So you know, we were one of the states that,
Speaker 10: following the Supreme Court decision, readdrew our maps to comply
Speaker 10: with the Supreme Court law, and so that created one
Speaker 10: open seat the ninth Congressional district that is currently represented
Speaker 10: by Steve Cohen, Democrat of Memphis. That district has been
Speaker 10: drawn to kind of the even south of Nashville, and
Speaker 10: so that created an open seat. Congressman Cohen isn't running again.
Speaker 10: There's a Democrat primary. We've got a very contested Republican
Speaker 10: primary there with four candidates. Congressman John Ross district that
Speaker 10: he's stepping down to run for governor. That seat is open.
Speaker 10: Three great candidates in that one. And then our former
Speaker 10: Commissioner of Agriculture Talent and Andy Congressman Andy Ogles in
Speaker 10: the fifth district, which was a Nashville district in May,
Speaker 10: and by June it went from the suburbs of Nashville
Speaker 10: all the way to Memphis, so brand new district. They
Speaker 10: had sixty seven days to get known in it. And
Speaker 10: and by all accounts that race is pretty close as well.
Speaker 2: Wow, Ed Cox, New York GOP chairman, and all these chairmen, chairman, chairman,
Speaker 2: how you doing.
Speaker 5: We're doing fine, We're doing fine. I'm assuming you're neutral
Speaker 5: and all these and all these races, is that right, sir?
Speaker 10: As you know, our by laws require us to be neutral.
Speaker 10: And you know, as when you're chairman, it's almost like
Speaker 10: picking among your kids, right which ones?
Speaker 8: And uh?
Speaker 10: And more often than not they give you more headaches,
Speaker 10: like your real kids than they than there is a favorite.
Speaker 10: So so we're you know, we I have a door
Speaker 10: them all. I appreciate them running. You guys know, chairman,
Speaker 10: certainly you know how how tough politics can be, and
Speaker 10: the fact that we've got great people willing to offer
Speaker 10: themselves to the public square. I'm just in all of
Speaker 10: what they put themselves through in order to try to
Speaker 10: serve the people of whatever district they're running in.
Speaker 5: Well, you do very well in Tennessee. You got some
Speaker 5: great candidates there.
Speaker 10: Well, so this is a big one for us obviously,
Speaker 10: after you know, we we were eight to one prior
Speaker 10: to the Supreme Court decision, and so we're going for
Speaker 10: nine and oh and I and I think by my math,
Speaker 10: that would make Tennessee the largest unified Republican state of
Speaker 10: any state in the nation at nine and oh.
Speaker 2: Wow, that would make you guys superstars if you have
Speaker 2: nine and oh.
Speaker 5: Wow, and the majority Congress, yes.
Speaker 10: I think Louisiana, if they pull theirs off, they would
Speaker 10: be five and oh. And of course you've got the
Speaker 10: smaller states that are one or two and oh, but
Speaker 10: we would be nine and oh if we can pull
Speaker 10: this off. But by doing that, you know, obviously every
Speaker 10: all of the congressional just went from very safe to
Speaker 10: somewhat safe. And so for my next eighty nine days,
Speaker 10: it's going to be a lot of general election work.
Speaker 10: So I think the Republicans that I know that are
Speaker 10: in those districts are really up for the fight. We're
Speaker 10: just kind of waiting for the primaries to get over with.
Speaker 10: We'll have a unity weekend this weekend, and then then
Speaker 10: we're off to the races for November.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 2: Well, fantastic. Well, we can't wait to see what happens tonight.
Speaker 2: Polls closed there in a little less than two hours
Speaker 2: and we'll definitely be covering it, mister chairman. Really great
Speaker 2: to have you.
Speaker 10: Well, thank you anytime.
Speaker 7: Ms Cox.
Speaker 10: Appreciate all that you do and all your leadership that
Speaker 10: you've shown me over the year.
Speaker 5: So you're setting the example forrest chairman.
Speaker 10: Thank you all. I have a wonderful evening.
Speaker 3: Thank you Tennessee.
Speaker 2: We love Tennessee boy. Anytime we can also play that day.
Speaker 2: That's right, you did, lucky you, Yeah, lucky you.
Speaker 3: I know what do we all stand for?
Speaker 8: Truth?
Speaker 3: An way? No, that was a lot.
Speaker 13: Now one
