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 Kassimatids 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 for freaking News WABC.
Speaker 2: And there is some big news here on Katz and
Speaker 2: Cosby John. President Trump making some big news moments ago
Speaker 2: with birthright tourism executive order executive order from the Oval Office,
Speaker 2: and who better. We've got Judge Weinberg with us. Obviously
Speaker 2: we also have Ed Cox and we also have Governor
Speaker 2: Patterson and Judge Weinberg. Give us the sense of what
Speaker 2: it means and why he did it.
Speaker 3: You can do an executive order without legislation. This is
Speaker 3: narrowly tailored. He's going after people. For example, if you
Speaker 3: came here with a deliverate intent to get citizenship and
Speaker 3: you didn't have a reasonable basis for being here, it's fraudulent.
Speaker 3: You don't get citizenship for your children. That's one the
Speaker 3: diplomats don't get citizenship for their kids.
Speaker 4: Number two.
Speaker 3: Number three, if you're the child of a foreign enemy, citizen.
Speaker 3: You don't get citizenship, so or narrowly tell it.
Speaker 4: How about what my son's wife sore in California where
Speaker 4: they have I guess, homes with forty pregnant women.
Speaker 3: That would fall within this executive good point, John, They
Speaker 3: would fall 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 3: Let me add another dimension. I would prosecute those people
Speaker 3: for fraud.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're already doing it, so.
Speaker 3: I do that criminally. I proscute them for fraud, put
Speaker 3: them 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 4: I have an American citizen in eighteen years now, he'll
Speaker 4: bring me back at self security. Yeah, I get bootstraps.
Speaker 3: They bootstrapped they used the kids to bootstrap themselves and
Speaker 3: the rest 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.
Speaker 4: I mean, by the way, the other big story Trump
Speaker 4: nuked El.
Speaker 2: Said, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he said that last night
Speaker 2: at the rally, and he said, this guy is making
Speaker 2: all these false promises. He's full of blank.
Speaker 4: Yeah that John, I heard it someplace, full of crap.
Speaker 2: There it is. That was the toned down version of it.
Speaker 4: So, I mean, hopefully the last time we all comme
Speaker 4: then commented on that that the Supreme Court shot him
Speaker 4: down because he was over was overbroad, his lawyers were
Speaker 4: not that smart and he was overbrought.
Speaker 3: Okay, right, and Professor John casmtit's the honor lawyer. Lawyer,
Speaker 3: but an excellent one, pointed out, they should have narrowly
Speaker 3: tail of that, which is good.
Speaker 4: You know, looks like fraud. You can't even say if
Speaker 4: you stop the next hundred people walk by and ask him,
Speaker 4: does this sound like fraud? If they said yes, that
Speaker 4: it looks like fraud.
Speaker 2: Well, and the thing to you, guys, President Trump was
Speaker 2: saying that it's hundreds of thousands of people. This is
Speaker 2: not like a one off and the other thing. If
Speaker 2: you look at the list, like there's not that many
Speaker 2: countries that allowed birthright, citizenship a handful right, only a handful.
Speaker 2: So I mean we've been extremely generous, well beyond that
Speaker 2: at this point.
Speaker 3: And fraud, and let's go back to fundamentally, this argument
Speaker 3: is totally contrary to the legislative history of the fourteenth Amendment.
Speaker 3: This was to protect the African Americans who have been
Speaker 3: victims of slavery, to protect them. It was a limited
Speaker 3: application for a particular class. It wasn't a come on
Speaker 3: in for the 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 si ed you guys, the guy who won in Michigan.
Speaker 4: I can't believe it. I just you know when Senator
Speaker 4: Schumer and I love the guy, he's a friend of
Speaker 4: mine for forty years.
Speaker 2: I can't believe he he puts out a statement saying
Speaker 2: he has our full support. And Gretchen Whitmer, who was
Speaker 2: running supporting the woman, Hail Stevens, who was running a
Speaker 2: big supporter the current governor of Michigan said, oh, I'd
Speaker 2: never well within medic he is a great guy.
Speaker 4: I had Vice President pens On on Monday. What did
Speaker 4: he say? Us Republicans might have a few flaws, but
Speaker 4: the Democrats have lost their mind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think they have. And that's what I
Speaker 2: want to say. It's a nice way they're doing.
Speaker 3: Is they're putting putting party over country.
Speaker 2: That's exactly they're saying it. You know, it's interesting, Ed
Speaker 2: Cox to the judges point, they're coming right out like
Speaker 2: they're asked now in the hallways of Congress, what do
Speaker 2: you think about some of the horrible things this guy
Speaker 2: has said. He's hanging around with Hassan Piker, who says
Speaker 2: some even more vile things.
Speaker 3: Nine eleven was deserved.
Speaker 2: Right, And and now they're saying, well, we want to
Speaker 2: have a majority, we would like to win the majority.
Speaker 2: 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 going to maneuver.
Speaker 4: He's very bright, guy.
Speaker 3: Is very he has to repudiate that. He has to
Speaker 3: say I denounced 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 has been really I just
Speaker 2: think a hero in the Democratic Party and in America.
Speaker 2: So hopefully, hopefully he is here so we can say
Speaker 2: bravo to him, right John, because boy, he really is.
Speaker 2: He's been taking some incoming. He and ELSI ed are
Speaker 2: fighting very publicly fighting.
Speaker 4: 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 got, Yeah, that's not a lot. But at
Speaker 2: least they're trying to show that they're doing something within
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party to say we don't want socialism. What
Speaker 2: do 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 Socialist are not
Speaker 6: helping the Democratic Party, even if they elected fifty of them.
Speaker 6: So the whole idea is just to 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 4: But who knows what a third way means?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, good point. Good point.
Speaker 5: 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 LSIED guy, and already the great
Speaker 2: philosopher Hassan Piker, who seems to be hanging around with
Speaker 2: all these people. He came out and said this is
Speaker 2: going to be part of a national trend that if
Speaker 2: you're not with us, you're against us. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: 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 elect
Speaker 7: somebody who was as radical as Sayid, And I want
Speaker 7: you to understand just how bad he is. Not only
Speaker 7: does he support people who say that America deserves nine
Speaker 7: to eleven, this guy has expressed his allegiance to the
Speaker 7: Muslim Brotherhood. In an op ed that he wrote, he
Speaker 7: called Israel bloodthirsty. He doesn't want illegals to be denied
Speaker 7: driver's licenses. He argued for illegal people to come to
Speaker 7: America to get driver's licenses, and he criticized Oklahoma because
Speaker 7: they banned Sharia law. At it all up, we have
Speaker 7: never had an Islamist candidate like this run for office
Speaker 7: and be this blunt about it in the United States
Speaker 7: of America. He doesn't fit and he's going to lose.
Speaker 2: You know, I agree, John, don't you?
Speaker 4: It's crazy, who has the courage, who has the courage
Speaker 4: and the Democratic Party to really take hold and Young scream.
Speaker 7: There's there's nobody other than Senator Fetterman. 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 heaths 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 on the video,
Speaker 2: remember he was speaking, and the whole crowd famously started
Speaker 2: chanting at him, your next, your next, your next. I mean,
Speaker 2: and if you listen to l Sied, what I found
Speaker 2: really frightening with his sort of his rhetoric. He really
Speaker 2: was like even today, so nasty about Fetterman. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's like, my first target is Fetterman, My next is Schumer,
Speaker 2: my next. He's got like this list of people that
Speaker 2: he wants to take out politically, you know, push them
Speaker 2: out of office for a people that he thinks espouse
Speaker 2: 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 caring on betterment. 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 a 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. So
Speaker 2: Partie over country, right, CLARIEA right. And she's been very
Speaker 2: pro Israel, decently pro Israel. She took money from APEX,
Speaker 2: said I have no problem. I'm a supporter of Israel,
Speaker 2: but yet she's folding like a cheap suit. 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, a former head of
Speaker 7: the KKK Republicans abandoned him. They said we will never
Speaker 7: support you. They supported the Democrat instead. 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 3: 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
Speaker 2: it because everyone's playing the same thing. You just said,
Speaker 2: Judge over and over again. America deserved nine to eleven.
Speaker 2: Also defending the rapes on October. So, I mean, he
Speaker 2: said the worst of the worst. He's trying to spend
Speaker 2: it like I just want to make the country better.
Speaker 2: It's not that he's trying to back the.
Speaker 4: Maya. A lot of people very angry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't that interesting You guys did 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 sim historic.
Speaker 3: He's trying to rewrite the historical record.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The problem is, as you guys know, it's all
Speaker 2: on tape. I mean it's over and over again where
Speaker 2: he's saying 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 have won. He's seeing himself as
Speaker 7: bigger than life, and he seeing 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 you fly closer to the sun. This is the
Speaker 7: risk when people like him get political roles, and then
Speaker 7: he encourages is his candidates, in the case of Abdul
Speaker 7: said not to tone it down, to tone it up.
Speaker 7: And that does not fit the state of Michigan. So
Speaker 7: back to where we started this, can he win? What's
Speaker 7: the future of Michigan. I think the Democrats has just
Speaker 7: blown it. They blew it in Maine with Graham Platner,
Speaker 7: and they have probably blown it for the general and
Speaker 7: it looks like to make they've also blown it here
Speaker 7: in Michigan. This is probably the week. If we go
Speaker 7: back in November and look backwards, we're going to be
Speaker 7: able to say this is the week Republicans were able
Speaker 7: to keep the 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 he 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
Speaker 7: goodness says you can't make districts based on race, Republicans
Speaker 7: got a boost. The other factor is because Republicans did
Speaker 7: not have a big wave in twenty twenty two. They
Speaker 7: had a small wave. They just aren't as many marginal
Speaker 7: Republicans in office who typically do lose in the first
Speaker 7: term midterm like that, second term midterm like this, So
Speaker 7: it's a much smaller battlefield. And that's why I come
Speaker 7: out it's a fifty to fifty race in the House.
Speaker 7: I think the edge went to Republicans this week in
Speaker 7: the Senate. But it's going to it's nobody knows. It's
Speaker 7: all going to be closed. It's up to the voter,
Speaker 7: it's not 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 4: Did Democrats have to lose forty nine states to really
Speaker 4: 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. All right,
Speaker 2: thank you, Thank you guys, thank you. And John, I
Speaker 2: understand we have calling in now Joe Gruders of course
Speaker 2: the RNC chair.
Speaker 4: Right yes, Thursday. Well, calling in right now is Chairman
Speaker 4: Joe Crude from the GOP. And well, there's so many
Speaker 4: things happening in this country, in Washington and the world,
Speaker 4: mister chairman, where do we start?
Speaker 8: Hey, listen, the Tuesday was a big night for America
Speaker 8: and everybody should be alert to what's happening with these
Speaker 8: radical leftists that are winning all across this country. But
Speaker 8: it should be highlighted that the guy in Michigan, this
Speaker 8: l Sie guy, is as bad as it comes. I
Speaker 8: call him the Michigan Mundami, but he's much worse. I
Speaker 8: mean this is a guy who's best friends with Piker,
Speaker 8: who basically said we deserve nine to eleven. And that's
Speaker 8: just the beginning of it. I mean, we're in the
Speaker 8: fight for our lives. We gotta make sure people know
Speaker 8: what this DSA group and what these candidates are all about,
Speaker 8: and what they're trying to do. They're trying to fundamentally
Speaker 8: change America.
Speaker 7: We have to stop them.
Speaker 8: And in this Lsie character is, like I said, is
Speaker 8: as bad as they come. He's a Hamad supporter. He's
Speaker 8: for I would say, he's going to go up there
Speaker 8: and represent the best interests of Palestine, not Michiganders. And
Speaker 8: we got to, like I said, we got to expose
Speaker 8: him for what he is. And we've got a lot
Speaker 8: of work to do.
Speaker 4: I can't understand how the American people can just vote
Speaker 4: for a guy that's so into the American I don't understand.
Speaker 4: Is it a result of all the migrants that he
Speaker 4: came in in the last five years ten years?
Speaker 9: Yeah, listen, well that's what their policies.
Speaker 8: They don't want any boarders at all, They don't want
Speaker 8: to get rid of vice and any type of enforcement.
Speaker 8: They want amnesty for all. And listen, when you talk
Speaker 8: about jobs, you talk about the economy, you talk about housing.
Speaker 8: Every one of these families needs a place to stay,
Speaker 8: so it increases the demand. The supply is limited, and
Speaker 8: it makes it more expensive for everybody it goes.
Speaker 7: It's so much worse.
Speaker 8: I think we failed as a country over the last
Speaker 8: twenty five years in terms of educating the young about
Speaker 8: the results of socialism. I mean, it didn't work in Havana,
Speaker 8: it didn't work in Crackets, it didn't work in Moscow.
Speaker 8: As a matter of fact, what happens in these places
Speaker 8: is it creates misery. Government's not the solution. Everything is
Speaker 8: not equal in the world of socialism. People that are
Speaker 8: on top are still on top. You just have no
Speaker 8: ability to ever get to where they are. And we
Speaker 8: have to communicate that. That's the message I'm telling my team,
Speaker 8: the fact that we failed the schools that failed our kids,
Speaker 8: and people think socialism is the way to go. I said,
Speaker 8: we have to do a all out, you know war
Speaker 8: in terms of a campaign to let people know the
Speaker 8: impact of socialism communism. I talked to people who've escaped Cuba,
Speaker 8: and I talked to somebody who escaped Vietnam as a kid,
Speaker 8: and escaping to communism and escaping these disaster policies that
Speaker 8: leads rampant, like I said, misery amongst the people.
Speaker 7: It's never worked.
Speaker 8: But the fact that over fifty percent of the Democrats
Speaker 8: are in favor of it, in our positive opinion on
Speaker 8: socialism and are voting for These leftist radicals who basically
Speaker 8: are doing a coup from within, want to get rid
Speaker 8: of the presidency. They want to get rid of Thanksgiving,
Speaker 8: I said, I said the commercials we should be airing
Speaker 8: is I wish the campaign was right. Thanksgiving was right
Speaker 8: before the campaign, and I would say, if you're sitting
Speaker 8: at home enjoying, you know, turkey and watching football, these
Speaker 8: guys want to take Thanksgiving away.
Speaker 4: It's really unbelievable and it's hard to believe that the
Speaker 4: American people are going to go for that. Is it
Speaker 4: going to take losing forty nine states like they did
Speaker 4: in nineteen eighty four to make a change and rub
Speaker 4: out the Socialist Party? I mean the Socialist Party by themselves,
Speaker 4: they only get two percent of the vote, but they
Speaker 4: have taken over the Democratic Party and it doesn't look
Speaker 4: like anybody has the courage to take it back.
Speaker 8: It just seems like people have given up and they
Speaker 8: have given up hope for themselves on achieving the American dream.
Speaker 8: And I think that they've given up hope that their
Speaker 8: kids can achieve the American dream. The only place in
Speaker 8: the world where you can go from nothing to something
Speaker 8: is America. We have the greatest yests here in our country.
Speaker 8: If you work hard and lot bit of luck, you
Speaker 8: could go anywhere you want. You don't have to be
Speaker 8: born with a silver spoon in your mouth. That's the
Speaker 8: message we have to deliver dommy in your city. New
Speaker 8: York City alone, the grocery stores, the relentless attack on
Speaker 8: the wealthy, it's a it's resonating with like I said,
Speaker 8: people who have lost open. We have to somehow restore
Speaker 8: that hope and let people know that this president is
Speaker 8: going to bat for them and is trying to do
Speaker 8: everything he can't go in to fight for the American worker.
Speaker 4: President Trump being president mayor Mundami is better off having
Speaker 4: the president like him than not. I mean, because the
Speaker 4: federal money is where the money ready is, whether it's
Speaker 4: for housing or whether it's for transit or whatever. The
Speaker 4: money is in Washington right now, New York City is
Speaker 4: short money. New York State is short money. He would
Speaker 4: pay for Mayor Mundami to be nice to the president.
Speaker 8: Yes, and listen, the President loves New York City. I
Speaker 8: talked to him about it all the time. But the
Speaker 8: President is concerned about the rise of these commies and
Speaker 8: these socialists. He's worried about the direction that they want
Speaker 8: to take the country forget, you know, And that's why
Speaker 8: we have to expose them and let people know what
Speaker 8: these guys are really about. Government is not the answer.
Speaker 8: Government's not the answer. We could do better, you know.
Speaker 8: We we have the ability to, and so we got
Speaker 8: to work hard.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for coming on this Thursday evening,
Speaker 4: and let's catch up again real soon.
Speaker 8: Thanks John.
Speaker 2: Great discussion, John, really really important one. And I like
Speaker 2: you the Michigan Donn that's what it's calling.
Speaker 4: He's been with the President for the last forty eight hours. Wow.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's right, because he went out to Vegasson. 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: Our common Sense recap of a day's biggest stories. It's
Speaker 1: John Kasimedi and Rita Gosby, Katz and Cosby on seventy
Speaker 1: seven WABC Freaking 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 10: Us right And you could see this coming. Unlike Trump's
Speaker 10: original order when he took office, Today's executive orders, and
Speaker 10: there are two of them, are fairly limited in scope.
Speaker 10: The first one ban's birth tourism and it's based on
Speaker 10: an ex VISTEEM federal regulation from twenty twenty that prohibits
Speaker 10: tourism and business visas for the purpose of obtaining US
Speaker 10: citizenship for a newborn. Anybody who does that can now
Speaker 10: be criminally prosecuted for fraud. And you know that's a
Speaker 10: huge number. You're talking about twenty to twenty five thousand
Speaker 10: birth tourists each year. And I think that order does
Speaker 10: fall squarely within the executive branch authority over immigration and visas. However,
Speaker 10: the second order is more difficult because it denies citizenship
Speaker 10: to those newborns. It would contradict the recent Supreme Court decision,
Speaker 10: which you and I have discussed. So you know that
Speaker 10: particular order will almost certainly be challenged right away in
Speaker 10: federal court. Trump knows that, but he wants the Supreme
Speaker 10: Court to revisit the issue on a narrower basis because
Speaker 10: the justice is you'll recalled, did, in fact, seem deeply
Speaker 10: concerned about the birth tourism problem. And Trump is right,
Speaker 10: it's smacks of fraud. These birth tourists are scamming the
Speaker 10: fourteenth Amendment. They don't hold any allegiance to the sovereign
Speaker 10: of the US. They just want their kids to have citizenships.
Speaker 10: 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 10: Yeah, and one of the justices during oral argument raised
Speaker 10: the alarm bells on exactly what you're talking about, birth
Speaker 10: tourism from enemy states that jeopardizes America's national security. And
Speaker 10: so you know Trump is responding very directly to that
Speaker 10: 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. Right, Fauci who took invoked
Speaker 2: the Fifth one hundred and eleven times, and now they're
Speaker 2: sending it over to doj He says, you know what,
Speaker 2: I don't think He came right out and said, I
Speaker 2: don't think we have the votes in a full Senate
Speaker 2: to get the sixty votes because of the makeup, but
Speaker 2: I'm going to send it over to the DOJ and
Speaker 2: see what they will do. Maybe they might prosecute him.
Speaker 2: What do you think legally it's an interesting case.
Speaker 10: Yeah, if charges are brought, Fauci's lawyers will argue in
Speaker 10: federal court that his preemptive pardon, which was you know,
Speaker 10: signed by Biden's auto and did not protect him last
Speaker 10: week when he was supposed to testify, since the pardon
Speaker 10: actually expired the day was signed January twenty, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 10: and therefore Fauci had a constitutional right to invoke the
Speaker 10: Fifth Amendment. And look, I'm no fan of Fauci. I
Speaker 10: agree with Senator Paul. I think he's long been lying
Speaker 10: to Congress about his funding of the Wuhan lab with
Speaker 10: a deadly virus I think escaped. But having said all
Speaker 10: of that, you know, his Fifth Amendment legal argument is
Speaker 10: valid in my judgment, because at that moment last week,
Speaker 10: he was in legal jeopardy in two ways. If he lied,
Speaker 10: he could face federal charges for perjury and false statements.
Speaker 10: And second, his pardon doesn't protect him from any future
Speaker 10: state charges arising from that testimony last week. Already there
Speaker 10: are four states who have launched active investigations into Fauci
Speaker 10: that could result in charges. And look, even Ran Paul
Speaker 10: admits that the issue will end up being decided in
Speaker 10: the courts. You know, he argued last week that the
Speaker 10: pardon meant Fauci had to testify. I think he's wrong.
Speaker 10: The only way the committee can force Fauchi to talk
Speaker 10: is to grant him immunity, and that would give him
Speaker 10: immunity both federal and state. But Senator Paul I want
Speaker 10: to do that because it would allow Fauci to escape
Speaker 10: all culpability for everything he did. So you know, the
Speaker 10: bottom line is it'll go to court. Fauci will probably
Speaker 10: 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 who Vauchi was texting?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, look, if you read through the diary,
Speaker 10: I haven't gotten through all of it, but I've read
Speaker 10: some salient portions of it. It's self incriminating. I mean,
Speaker 10: you know, here he is publicly saying, oh, the virus
Speaker 10: came from nature in a wet market in you know, China. Privately,
Speaker 10: he's conceding in his diary, you know it probably came
Speaker 10: from the Wuhan Lab. So and then, of course, if
Speaker 10: you look at his testimony in years past under questioning
Speaker 10: by Center Ram Paul, it seems to me that Fauci
Speaker 10: is clearly lying about his gain of function support for
Speaker 10: that particular Wuhan lab. And by the way, if you're
Speaker 10: going to get money to a lab, that Wuhan Lab
Speaker 10: is the last place on Earth you should give money to.
Speaker 10: It had a dismal track record for safety. You know,
Speaker 10: it was a recipe for leaking a deadly virus. That
Speaker 10: this gain of function insanity. It takes a virus and
Speaker 10: turns it into this sort of supersized Frankenstein deadly monster.
Speaker 10: There's no way that you can morally or even scientifically
Speaker 10: justify doing that, given the incredible risk that you could
Speaker 10: end up killing tens of millions of people worldwide, which
Speaker 10: is what happened Fauchi.
Speaker 4: I think he knew a lot more than he was saying,
Speaker 4: and I think he lied to a lot of people,
Speaker 4: and he knew the truth, and he didn't tell us
Speaker 4: the truth.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you're absolutely right. And the other aspect of this
Speaker 10: thing is that when you read his diary, what a narcissistic,
Speaker 10: you know, vainglorious person, you know, marinating in his own fame.
Speaker 10: He's the kind of guy who fell in love every
Speaker 10: time he passed by a mirror.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's love, love.
Speaker 10: Nunciating, you know, and it's.
Speaker 2: Just love is blind, right, Love is blind.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, he didn't care about the people who were dying,
Speaker 10: according to his his diary, he only cared about the
Speaker 10: number of times he was on TV and all the
Speaker 10: adoration he was getting on the most famous man in
Speaker 10: 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 thousand, and
Speaker 2: they're investing in them. He might have gotten 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 10: You know, and the law also calls that fraud, so,
Speaker 10: you know, for money and pressuring you know, colleagues and
Speaker 10: people under him to promote him for these awards so
Speaker 10: he could reap the financial benefits. Uh, you know that.
Speaker 10: Give me some time and I could probably come up
Speaker 10: with 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 4: And how about the top news of the day that's
Speaker 4: 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, and to see the top
Speaker 2: race 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.
Speaker 1: Break, your commuting home, Kats and Cosby. Now here's John
Speaker 1: Katsimatids and Rita Gosby on seventy seven wa DC.
Speaker 4: Well, let's go to Washington. The former Speaker Kevin McCarthy
Speaker 4: is where this and well, so many things to talk about.
Speaker 2: Rita, Yeah boy, they're sure is. And obviously everyone's looking
Speaker 2: at this win in Michigan. Also next week is a
Speaker 2: primary in Wisconsin with another and tonight Yessac Tennessee with
Speaker 2: Marshall Blackburn, who we love.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well she's only gonna win by twenty points.
Speaker 2: Yeah at least, right that's that's called a win win win,
Speaker 2: trounce win.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 2: Well, 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 truly.
Speaker 11: I mean it's the DSA, the Democrats socialist organization. They
Speaker 11: don't even want to be Democrats, but they're because they're
Speaker 11: truly socialists. And it's Bernie Sanders feeling because of the
Speaker 11: weak leadership of currently and the Democrats by Jakim and Schumer,
Speaker 11: that he's trying to take over the Democratic Party and
Speaker 11: he's being very successful. I mean, at first the Democrats
Speaker 11: would just throw it off. Oh it's because it's New York. Well,
Speaker 11: now they won in Colorado, took out incumbents, and now
Speaker 11: they won Michigan, which is a swing state. So they
Speaker 11: have now decided their party that they are socialists. I
Speaker 11: mean Bernie Sanders and Mandannie are running the head of
Speaker 11: 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 Gruders 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 a nastiness to him. Mundani had
Speaker 2: seemed to smile a lot more, and not that the
Speaker 2: messaging was different, but this one is like, you know, saying,
Speaker 2: he uses the I'm here, I'm here, We're coming like
Speaker 2: Muhammad Ali for the fight, slamming anybody who's not pronouncing
Speaker 2: his name right. If you're not with us, you're against us.
Speaker 2: It's very very provocative, divisive language.
Speaker 11: Yes, very negative, I mean coming at you now. As
Speaker 11: Republicans people would say, oh, do we have a better
Speaker 11: chance of winning? It's still a very difficult. We can't
Speaker 11: take anything for granted. Everybody's got to get out and run.
Speaker 11: But there's a real contrast between Mike Rodgers, who was
Speaker 11: an FBI agent who was ahead of Intel Committee in Congress,
Speaker 11: came very very close to winning last time, less than
Speaker 11: twenty thousand votes against Senator Slatkin, and I feel as
Speaker 11: though listening to a lot of Democrats in Missigain telling
Speaker 11: me they will not vote for the Democrat nominee because
Speaker 11: he is not just left. He is a socialist that
Speaker 11: goes to a point that's beyond of what you think
Speaker 11: in America. And it's a real scare for a lot
Speaker 11: 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 else I
Speaker 2: had stands for? Will they go to the Republican of
Speaker 2: Mike Rodgers? Will they stay home? What do you think?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 11: I think if you followed Mike Rogers, especially in his
Speaker 11: time in Congress and others, he's one that worked with
Speaker 11: both sides of the eyehole. He was what I always
Speaker 11: call the common sense Republican. He listened to all and
Speaker 11: he was a true leader. I think given the opportunity,
Speaker 11: the first thing they're going to do there is going
Speaker 11: to be open to be looking at Mike Rogers to
Speaker 11: see where both candidates stand. But the last thing we
Speaker 11: want is people not to participate. If you don't participate,
Speaker 11: you could end up with the socialist in the Senate.
Speaker 11: You've got to think about this. There was AOC and
Speaker 11: if you didn't have AO. If you didn't, if you
Speaker 11: didn't have Bernie Sanders, you never got AOC. And without AOC,
Speaker 11: you would have never got Mendannie. And now what has
Speaker 11: Ben Donnie been able to do? Electing more to the
Speaker 11: to the Congress now and now you want to take
Speaker 11: over the Senate. This is scary because you want to
Speaker 11: you want to go deeper than just say they're socialists.
Speaker 11: What is their platform? What do they believe? Well, first
Speaker 11: of all, they believed that the president shouldn't be elected, Okay,
Speaker 11: that that should be an executive that the Congress elects.
Speaker 11: Why do they want the Congress because they couldn't win nationwide?
Speaker 11: But what if they want enough seats? What if they
Speaker 11: were able to decide? It is scary. The positions that
Speaker 11: they have go against the core, especially when we're celebrating
Speaker 11: two hundred and fifty years of America and what our
Speaker 11: founders truly believed in this republic that you wanted to
Speaker 11: 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 a
Speaker 2: Republican Democrat. That is stunning.
Speaker 11: That is stunning, and you and I believe that same way.
Speaker 11: But you know what, you could reverse that. That was
Speaker 11: happening in America under Joe Biden. And I remember going,
Speaker 11: why is into America? Waking up at that moment. I mean,
Speaker 11: President Trump has done an excellent job of securing our border,
Speaker 11: but what was transforming in there? And get to the
Speaker 11: country even to wake up. There's many times that the
Speaker 11: networks would not even cover what was going on down there.
Speaker 11: And then Joe Biden put Kamala Harris in charge, she
Speaker 11: would ever even go visit it. So it's not like
Speaker 11: that's a far fetched idea that could happen in America.
Speaker 11: It was happening in America, and look at the damage
Speaker 11: that it did. Just think back a little ways in
Speaker 11: New York. What were the streets looking like, people being
Speaker 11: 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 Democrats says no,
Speaker 2: well we never want to go back then yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 11: But if Republicans stay home, that very well could be
Speaker 11: the case.
Speaker 4: Well it's the Democrats I have to stay home.
Speaker 11: Yeah, But I'm telling you when I look at polling
Speaker 11: right now, the Democrats are enthusiastic. And I know a
Speaker 11: lot of them say, oh, they won't vote for the socialists,
Speaker 11: but they just want to win. Look how many Democrats
Speaker 11: who are prior that are elected to say they would
Speaker 11: never support this position, but now they're saying, Okay, hey,
Speaker 11: won we're there that they would allow that to happen.
Speaker 11: And remember the Democrats who said that allowed those borders
Speaker 11: to happen. So what I'm finding is the Democrats have
Speaker 11: more enthusiasm to vote than Republicans. Republicans cannot sit back
Speaker 11: and take this for granted. And we really have to
Speaker 11: be talking to the independence and others of what does
Speaker 11: a social democratic socialists 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 was I think it was like five
Speaker 2: hundred thousand more than they typically have. So there is
Speaker 2: an 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, No.
Speaker 11: And remember when Trump was on the ticket, we got
Speaker 11: a better turnout. Trump won the popular vote, which is
Speaker 11: a very very big deal. He won every swing state,
Speaker 11: Michigan and the others. But at the same time, Trump
Speaker 11: won Arizona, Nevada, and Michigan and Wisconsin, and the Republicans
Speaker 11: didn't win it for the Senate there and here you are,
Speaker 11: Republic of President Trump. Not only wins and wins the
Speaker 11: popular vote. We lost seats in Congress, but four years prior,
Speaker 11: not one Republican lost income. It actually beat fifteen Democrats.
Speaker 11: And so that's why I get concerned. When Trump's there,
Speaker 11: he helps everybody. But Trump's not on the ticket this time,
Speaker 11: and they can't just always rely that the president has
Speaker 11: to do everything. They've got to work hard themselves.
Speaker 4: Trump is going to go out and campaign as if
Speaker 4: he is on the ticket. Yes, I know that for sure.
Speaker 4: I mean, well, he knows how much is he knows
Speaker 4: how much is at stake it this election.
Speaker 11: But I want people to help him. At the same time,
Speaker 11: we can't always just make the president do everything. He's
Speaker 11: raised so much money for the party. The party is
Speaker 11: never it's never been this disproportionate where Republicans have more
Speaker 11: money than the Democrats. And that's really all the thanks
Speaker 11: to President Trump.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, the money game. If you're 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. Kevin McCarthy, We love you,
Speaker 2: mister speaker. It's always so great to have you on.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
Speaker 11: All right, thank you, guys.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Thank you, and you guys. We
Speaker 2: have now calling in Senator Eric Schmidt from the great
Speaker 2: state of Missouri.
Speaker 4: I'll take that quolling in right now is Senator Eric Schmidt,
Speaker 4: and it's been a very interesting day in Washington. Well, Senator,
Speaker 4: tell us what the heck is going on? And we
Speaker 4: got the millions and listeners that are waiting for you
Speaker 4: to say it.
Speaker 7: Well, we got a lot going on right now in
Speaker 7: the Senate. We're here. We're dealing with you know, funding
Speaker 7: the government. That's an issue. We've got this college sports
Speaker 7: legislation that I've been working on with the President. Randy
Speaker 7: Levine hometown New Yorker, has been on the President's Council.
Speaker 7: We're trying to address some of the issues we've seen
Speaker 7: in college sports with you know, kind of unlimited transfers,
Speaker 7: no eligibility requirements. We got twenty seven year olds competing
Speaker 7: with seventeen year olds. It's just been kind of this chaos,
Speaker 7: and so you know, we're trying to provide some limited
Speaker 7: anti trust exemption status for the NCAA to set rules,
Speaker 7: to enforce rules that will protect women's sports, protect our
Speaker 7: Olympic sports. So there's a lot going on with that,
Speaker 7: but I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful we can get to a
Speaker 7: bipartisan way of addressing this so that you know, college sports.
Speaker 7: College football is uniquely American institution, right, It's something that
Speaker 7: brings us together and really at risk of losing a
Speaker 7: lot of that because it's schools like Rutgers, for example,
Speaker 7: they're losing over one hundred million dollars a year with
Speaker 7: their athletic department. They're just not going to be able
Speaker 7: to offer women's sports, Olympic sports, and we don't want
Speaker 7: that to happen, so we got to provide some stability.
Speaker 7: So that's one of the things we're working on, in
Speaker 7: addition to some other things here in the Senate sender.
Speaker 4: Not everybody understands what's going on with college football, and
Speaker 4: Randy Levine, our hometown guy, president of the Yankees, is
Speaker 4: on that committee. Tell us the big differences between both sides.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so right now, and by the way, I did
Speaker 7: give Randy a little trouble my Cardinals beat the Yankees
Speaker 7: two out of three. But having said that, there's a
Speaker 7: lot of issues going on right now. Where it used
Speaker 7: to be right, players could never ever leave a school
Speaker 7: if a coach left, They could never really transfer without
Speaker 7: a penalty. Athletes were never compensated at all, even though
Speaker 7: their name and their image and their like likeness was
Speaker 7: up on a video game. And so over the course
Speaker 7: of the last decade, there have been some positive changes.
Speaker 7: Athletes can now actually be compensated for that, and I
Speaker 7: support that. But the problem now is John, is that
Speaker 7: it's so out of whack. There are no rules. So
Speaker 7: when you see in the news a twenty seven year
Speaker 7: old who played in a professional basketball league is now
Speaker 7: being able to come back and play in college against
Speaker 7: a seventeen year old. That's crazy. Being able to transfer
Speaker 7: every year and graduation rates are plumbting, that's crazy. So
Speaker 7: really what we're trying to do. If you would have
Speaker 7: asked me a couple of years ago, John, if this
Speaker 7: was something that Congress should get involved in, I've been
Speaker 7: very skeptical. But the truth is, because of all this litigation,
Speaker 7: there's only one entity on the planet that can give
Speaker 7: legal protection to a governing body to set and enforce rules,
Speaker 7: and that's Congress. And so that's why we're working on
Speaker 7: this because we want to provide that stability for things
Speaker 7: that on Saturdays people love coming together in Washington football,
Speaker 7: and we want to protect that because at the rate
Speaker 7: we're going right now, you're going to have a lot
Speaker 7: of universities that are going to drop it. You're going
Speaker 7: to have this constant conference movement, and you're just going
Speaker 7: to have a lot of these other non revenue sports
Speaker 7: like women's tennis or even baseball men's baseball be dropped
Speaker 7: because it can't afford to offer those sports that lose
Speaker 7: money for them if football then is losing money. So
Speaker 7: that's really the problem we're trying to get at. The president,
Speaker 7: good friend of yours, good friend of mine, is working
Speaker 7: very very hard on this, and he wants to see
Speaker 7: He's a sports guy, he loves sports. He sees what's
Speaker 7: happened in college sports, and he wants to be part
Speaker 7: of the solution. And that's why I'm involved to.
Speaker 4: So you think we're in the right direction.
Speaker 7: I do. I do. I'm hopeful we can get something
Speaker 7: done out of the Senate here in the next few
Speaker 7: days and then they'll go to the House when they
Speaker 7: come back in September, and maybe we can get the
Speaker 7: President to sign it on a college game day or
Speaker 7: something in the fall. That'd be a good result.
Speaker 4: Understood well, Thursday night before summer weekend. Anything else you
Speaker 4: want to tell the American.
Speaker 7: People, I just think you know you're in the middle
Speaker 7: of it. I think we've got to have eyes wide
Speaker 7: open here about what we're facing on the other side,
Speaker 7: getting in the more political realm with what's happened with
Speaker 7: the Democrat Party. I mean, look, it's not just this
Speaker 7: hammer and sickle wave we saw in New York with
Speaker 7: Mandami and then the city council. People that one that
Speaker 7: want to dismantle Western civilization, that want to defund the police,
Speaker 7: that want to defund ice, that want to get rid
Speaker 7: of the Senate, want to get rid of the presidency,
Speaker 7: want to get rid of the Supreme Court. I mean,
Speaker 7: these are radical ideas. It's happening also in places like Michigan,
Speaker 7: where this LSI ed guy just won the Democrat primary.
Speaker 7: So I think as a Republican myself, from an electoral perspective,
Speaker 7: maybe you would say, hey, that makes it easier for
Speaker 7: us to win. But as an American, I think it's
Speaker 7: a disaster. I just think in this country, the things
Speaker 7: that we know and love about this country will want
Speaker 7: to preserve, we want to protect. But this is what
Speaker 7: happens when you have an education system that sort of
Speaker 7: prioritizes curriculum that teaches young people to hate America and
Speaker 7: divides the room by race all the time. So we
Speaker 7: got a lot of challenges in front of us. You know,
Speaker 7: the President's doing a good job, and I think as Republicans,
Speaker 7: we have to make sure we offer a competing vision
Speaker 7: here that allows people to be more prosperous and it
Speaker 7: doesn't divide people but bring industry back, this reindustrialization of America,
Speaker 7: the investment we can have getting people, you know, back
Speaker 7: to work with real jobs, with those wages growing. That's
Speaker 7: an important thing I think we've got to focus on.
Speaker 4: I had former Vice President Penson in the office the
Speaker 4: other day and he said it perfectly. He says, US
Speaker 4: Republicans might have a few differences amongst ourselves, but the
Speaker 4: Democrats have completely lost their minds.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the Democrat Party at this point is almost sort
Speaker 7: of post American.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 7: You look at the polling numbers, John, of the number
Speaker 7: of Democrats who say they're proud to be an American,
Speaker 7: it's like one in three. You compare that with Republicans,
Speaker 7: it's you know, obviously sky high, like ninety percent. And
Speaker 7: by the way, that ninety percent never wavered even when
Speaker 7: we had a disaster in the White House with Joe Biden. Republicans.
Speaker 7: You know, I just don't understand what's happening with Democrats.
Speaker 7: This is not your your grandfather's Democrat Party. They just
Speaker 7: sort of, you know, it's just kind of wild.
Speaker 4: Centator Schmid, thank you so much for coming on this
Speaker 4: Thursday evening, and we'll catch up with you again sir.
Speaker 7: Thanks John.
Speaker 2: Wow, very interesting discussion there with Eric Schmid. I love Eric.
Speaker 4: She's such a great guy. And he was an attorney
Speaker 4: general before he was a senator, and and he knows
Speaker 4: about what the heck is.
Speaker 2: Going on, he sure does. Yeah, there's a lot of it.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, John, I mean, it's just been incredible.
Speaker 2: Even doctor Oswood he was talking about the other day
Speaker 2: on that area too.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 2: And jd Vance at the Helm and you guys, speaking
Speaker 2: of who knows what's going on, let's go to Brigadier
Speaker 2: General John Tigert. What are you hearing is the latest
Speaker 2: with Iran brigadier general? Because it's interesting. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff heating up also with the Red Sea. The
Speaker 2: Saudis are saying some of their tankers were fired on
Speaker 2: by the Hootsies. And now this is saying that the
Speaker 2: Hootsies attacked Yeviny government forces and that the Hootsies killed
Speaker 2: several dozen people. So the Hootsies are getting pretty anxious, it.
Speaker 12: Seems, John, and Rita, thanks for having me in the
Speaker 12: thing that I'm watching most closely.
Speaker 4: Though.
Speaker 12: It does matter a lot what's going on in Yemen
Speaker 12: and the Hooties is whether this deal that we've heard
Speaker 12: about that's brewing between Iran and Oman is actually going
Speaker 12: to play out. And I'm worried that if there's any
Speaker 12: tolls associated with this, then it means that the United
Speaker 12: States is just buying into something that weakens our position
Speaker 12: around the world by allowing Iran to make money off
Speaker 12: of tolls through the straight up her moves. And I
Speaker 12: want to make sure we get back to what the
Speaker 12: Vice President promised us, which is if there is a deal,
Speaker 12: it must be performance based, which means Iran does not
Speaker 12: get the major benefits of the deal if they do
Speaker 12: not demonstrate compliance to the deal.
Speaker 2: I don't think Trump would ever agree to a deal
Speaker 2: where uh, you know, Iran would get some sort of
Speaker 2: toll 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 3: And give and good to talk to again John and
Speaker 3: give them more money for more wages of terrorism. I mean,
Speaker 3: how does that make any sense?
Speaker 12: No, it doesn't make sense at all. And I'll tell
Speaker 12: you I think the President's instincts keep being right when
Speaker 12: he makes these threats about bombing power and energy sites,
Speaker 12: especially carg Island. I think those are his instincts, and
Speaker 12: I don't know why he's backing off of those instincts,
Speaker 12: but those things would help us regain the initiative. It
Speaker 12: would neuter and strangle the regime. And I wish he
Speaker 12: carried out some of those threats instead of backing off
Speaker 12: and considering making a deal.
Speaker 3: And the problem is based on reporting he did so
Speaker 3: at the urging of the Saudis. But where the Saudis
Speaker 3: in this issue stepping up and doing what they have which.
Speaker 2: Is why the hootsies. It's so interesting because they're going
Speaker 2: after the Saudis at a time where they know the
Speaker 2: Saudis are trying to talk to President Trump. It's an
Speaker 2: interesting I.
Speaker 3: Can't have it both ways. I either want to win
Speaker 3: and take care of the Iranian threat, where they're going
Speaker 3: to have to deal with an Iranian threat that go
Speaker 3: on for decades.
Speaker 12: General, It's true, and the only reason the Husis are
Speaker 12: starting to raise up is because their Iranian masters are
Speaker 12: seeing weakness either by the United States or by the Saudis.
Speaker 12: And we've got to demonstrate strengths because I know for
Speaker 12: sure the only language the regime understands and Iran is strengths, capability,
Speaker 12: will and resolve, and we must get back to that
Speaker 12: 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. He 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 don't
Speaker 2: said that he doesn't want to kill admirable.
Speaker 4: But but and he doesn't want to take down bridges
Speaker 4: and doesn't want to take down the electric grid. But
Speaker 4: you know who is really running Iran? I don't know.
Speaker 12: Well, the reason why I keep going back to carg Island,
Speaker 12: John and Rita is because all of the financing to
Speaker 12: the regime depends on their ability to export oil through card.
Speaker 8: You don't have to kill people, You just have.
Speaker 12: To strangle the regime by cutting off their ability to
Speaker 12: export oil. And that makes the strongest statement possible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it'll be just like my friend said with
Speaker 4: the breakfast last week, one hundred and fifty dollars oil.
Speaker 12: I think that that's already factored in because the strait
Speaker 12: has been cut off for the last six months. I
Speaker 12: don't think cutting off Iron's oil exports is actually going
Speaker 12: to do anything substantial to the price of oil.
Speaker 4: I hope so, thank you, I.
Speaker 2: Hope so too.
Speaker 4: Wow, Well keep us dragon Dragon as his nickname is, yeah,
Speaker 4: we hope.
Speaker 2: Wait did we ever find out why they call him dragon?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 4: We know he keeps had a secret?
Speaker 12: How did we get that held secret? Even to my
Speaker 12: good friends like you all?
Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, top secret, top secret mission. All right, thank
Speaker 2: you general, Thank you, general, Thank y'all, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: And you guys were going to go to Tennessee because
Speaker 2: there's a big primary there tonight, lots of races. We're
Speaker 2: going to do that after the break.
Speaker 1: It's our common sense recap of the big stories. It's
Speaker 1: Cat Sammy Cosby on seventy seven w WABC.
Speaker 13: Born on the mountain top of tennis See Green Estate
Speaker 13: in the Land of the Free. Raised in the woods,
Speaker 13: Sosi knew every tree killed him a bar when he
Speaker 13: was only three.
Speaker 2: Baby, Well, John, we're playing tenn You love that song, right,
Speaker 2: that's great love, that's great. Well. We're playing that song
Speaker 2: because in about two hours or so, the polls are
Speaker 2: going to be closing in the great state of Tennessee.
Speaker 2: And who better to tell us about the big primaries
Speaker 2: tonight than Gopachair Scott Golden Scott fill us in on
Speaker 2: the big races. Obviously, Governor is one of the biggies.
Speaker 9: Well, thank you for playing the Davy Crockett song. That's
Speaker 9: you know, his famous speech if y'all can go to
Speaker 9: Hell and I'm going to Texas was in my hometown.
Speaker 9: So let's hope it's not going to be that bad
Speaker 9: for everybody tonight. But we do got a great gubernatorial primary.
Speaker 9: Obviously Senator Marshall Blackburn, Congressman John Rose, and State Representative
Speaker 9: Fritz of the three Republican candidates, Uh, polls have been
Speaker 9: all over the place. I think what what I hear
Speaker 9: most often is it's probably going to be a close
Speaker 9: election tonight. Oh wow, where a couple yeah, a couple
Speaker 9: of votes one way or the other poles of it.
Speaker 9: You know, it started obviously Senator Blackburn had had tremendous
Speaker 9: name id and and it and you know, as it's
Speaker 9: developed over the over the course of the of the months,
Speaker 9: it's it's you know, as other candidates have gotten in
Speaker 9: there and spoken the polls have tightened, and uh so
Speaker 9: some will say it, I've seen some that are statistical ties,
Speaker 9: and I save others that has Senator Blackburn with a
Speaker 9: small lead. So we'll see what it ultimately what the
Speaker 9: voters 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.
Speaker 7: There there are.
Speaker 9: So you know, we were one of the states that,
Speaker 9: following the Supreme Court decision, read through our maps, uh
Speaker 9: to comply with the Supreme Court law. And uh so
Speaker 9: that created one open seat the ninth Congressional district that
Speaker 9: is currently represented by Steve Cohen, Democrat of Memphis. That
Speaker 9: district has been drawn to kind of the even south
Speaker 9: of Nashville, and so that created an open seat. Congressman
Speaker 9: Cohen isn't running again. There's a Democrat primary. We've got
Speaker 9: a very contested Republican primary there with four candidates. Congressman
Speaker 9: John Roses district that he's stepping down to run for governor.
Speaker 9: That seat is open. Three great candidates in that one.
Speaker 9: And then our former Commissioner of Agriculture challenged Andy Congressman
Speaker 9: Andy Ogles in the fifth district, which was a Nashville
Speaker 9: district in May, and by June it went from the
Speaker 9: suburbs of Nashville all the way to Memphis, so brand
Speaker 9: new district. They had sixty seven days to get known
Speaker 9: in it. And by all accounts that race is pretty
Speaker 9: close as well.
Speaker 2: Wow, Ed Cox, New York GOP chairman, and all these chairmen, Chairman.
Speaker 7: Taman, how you doing, How we're doing fine?
Speaker 4: We're doing fine.
Speaker 5: I'm assuming you're neutral and all these and all these races,
Speaker 5: is that right, sir?
Speaker 9: As you know, our by laws require us to be neutral,
Speaker 9: and you know, as when you're chairman, it's almost like
Speaker 9: picking among your kids, right which and uh and more
Speaker 9: often than not they give you more headaches like your
Speaker 9: real kids than they than there is a favorite. So
Speaker 9: so we're you know, we I have a doore them all.
Speaker 9: I appreciate them running. You guys know, chairman, certainly you
Speaker 9: know how how tough politics can be, and the fact
Speaker 9: that we've got great people willing to offer themselves to
Speaker 9: the public square. I'm just in all of what they
Speaker 9: put themselves through in order to try to serve the
Speaker 9: people of whatever district.
Speaker 7: They're running in.
Speaker 5: Well, you do very well in Tennessee you got some
Speaker 5: great candidates there.
Speaker 9: Well, so this is a big one for us obviously
Speaker 9: after you know, we we were eight to one prior
Speaker 9: to the Supreme Court decision, and so we're going or
Speaker 9: nine and oh and I and I think by my math,
Speaker 9: that would make kind of see the largest unified Republican
Speaker 9: state of any state in the nation at nine and
Speaker 9: oh wow.
Speaker 2: That would make you guys superstars if you have nine and.
Speaker 5: Oh wow, and the majority Congress, yes.
Speaker 9: I think Louisiana, if they pull theirs off, they would
Speaker 9: be five and oh. And of course you've got the
Speaker 9: smaller states that are one or two and oh, but
Speaker 9: we would be nine and oh if we can and
Speaker 9: pull this off. But by doing that, you know, obviously
Speaker 9: every all of the congressional districts went from very safe
Speaker 9: to somewhat safe. And so for my next eighty nine days,
Speaker 9: it's going to be a lot of general election work.
Speaker 9: So I think the Republicans that I know that are
Speaker 9: in those districts are really up for the fight. So
Speaker 9: we're just kind of waiting for the primaries to get
Speaker 9: over with. We'll have a unity weekend this weekend, and
Speaker 9: then then we're off to the races.
Speaker 7: For November.
Speaker 2: Wow, well fantastic. Well we can't wait to see what
Speaker 2: happens tonight. Pole's close there in a little less than
Speaker 2: two hours, and we'll definitely be covering it. Uh, mister chairman,
Speaker 2: really great to have you.
Speaker 9: Well, thank you anytime, Miss Cox. Appreciate all that you
Speaker 9: do and all your leadership that you've shown me over
Speaker 9: the here, so.
Speaker 5: You're setting the example forrest chairman.
Speaker 9: Thank you' all. I have a wonderful eving.
Speaker 4: Thank you Tennessee.
Speaker 2: We love Tennessee boy. Anytime we can also play that Danna.
