It's Tony Katz today. Oh, you got to love a good cabinet meeting. We've got war with a ran, you've got Democrats not funding the Department of Homeland Security, the everyday stuff, and a cabinet meeting on top of it. This is going to be a joy and a treat. Or maybe we'll learn something. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today. Guys, good to be with you. Thanks for being here. I

1:04greatly appreciate it. I don't know what kind of deal we think we have with the Iranians. I don't know why anybody would think we have a deal with the Iranians. Well, they rejected the 15-point plan and then it was Caroline Lovex saying, what 15-point plan? And then it was, oh, there might be a 15-point plan. I don't know. And part of the issue is, is that you've got everybody in their influencer, you know, with their influencer hats and the influencer classic. And I know what's happening. And here's what's going on, guys. Everything right now is a massive amount of this direction. I'm still trying to get an answer to a basic question. What is the desire here? A deal or the end of the regime? Because I'm interested in the end of the regime. So therefore any deal could actually stick. No support of terrorism, no creation of nuclear weapons, the Iranians become Persians again. And everybody decides, hey, let's go to Iran on vacation,

2:06which there could definitely be some tourism going on. Anything without the Islamic Revolution and a guard corps, anything where it's not an Islamic regime, that's what's solid. That's what's good. This is what I favor. The end of terrorism is what I favor. But I don't know if that's what Trump favors. Now, it's for clarity. I'm not saying that President Trump's okay with terrorism. It's not my argument. His goal may very well be no more nuclear weapons. We're done here. No nuclear capability whatsoever. We're done. We're finished with complete. Goodbye. Next. Get the straight back open. The oil prices come down. Everybody's happy. Look at me. Look what I did. Exactly what I said I was going to do. No forever wars, no matter what people like Marjorie Taylor Green, that magnificent loser go about claiming all of the Tucker puppets were totally wrong and absolute fools done. Maybe that's his goal. The first rule of Trumpism is Trump wins. The

3:06second rule of Trumpism is that a deal can always be made as long as it adheres to the first rule of Trumpism. I knew what I was voting for when I voted for him three times. I'm aware. No one I should only hope by now, guys. None of us are playing pretend. None of us are playing make believe. We know what's what. We know what it is that we voted for. We know his own personal issues. We don't know his own personal limitations. But we also know the successes that we can get. In I weigh the successes against the insanity and I take the successes and I don't let the insanity drive me crazy. I push back on them. But it's still better than anything the progressives are giving us by multitudes. It's better than anything the progressives are giving us. That, you know, we're into the real politic here. Was it real politic? This is the way things are. Not necessarily what we want, but the way they are and how do we work

4:13within that and how do we strive to make it just a little bit better? Actually, everything about this really brings me back to my, I won't say it's my original thesis, but for me in terms of guiding principles, the idea of incrementalism, there are indeed places and moments where I'm in all or nothing guy. And I think that if we're all honest about our personal lives or professional lives, we have that moment where we are all or nothing. In the main, I'll take a little bit here and a little bit there and just try and grow it a little bit the next day and a little bit more the next day, bit by bit and piece by piece, getting to where we want to be, heading in that direction. Because I think that is, you know, some people may call that the pragmatic course. I think that's actually conservatism. I think that's the rational play. Not, hey, this is the world I dream of, this the world as it is and how do we get it a little bit better and how do we get it a little

5:16bit better? Do I think I could take 39 trillion dollars worth of debt and reduce it to zero overnight? No, but can we take 39 and make a 30? Can we take 39 and make a 30? Yes, I know I'm talking about trillions. Can I make up 35 at least? Can we drop it by four trillion dollars? Can we just start? That's really where I'm at. Here are the guiding principles, right? That's the conservatism. You can say that I'm a small L liberal, like a classical liberal. I could go with that as well. And now, how do I get people to come with me on this journey, this adventure, this philosophy, and get a little bit better each time? With Trump, I get a little bit better than anything the political left can give me, anything the political left can give me. That doesn't mean I agree with everything and it doesn't mean you agree with everything. And it sure as hell means that when I think he's

6:18wrong, I say so. What is it? What is it? He's got to call me a name. Somebody else is going to be mad at me. So what? That is inconsequential to what it is we're trying to do and what it is we're trying to get done. So when it comes to Iran, I want to get rid of the regime completely. I want the IRGC broken into never to reconstitute recover. I want a free Iran, which means no supportive terrorism and no nuclear weapons. Better for me, better for you and we get to stop talking about the Middle East, which would be awesome. So I'd be overjoyed. We got a lot of places to talk about starting with the United States. Let's do that. Trump, different. Trump sees it differently and maybe his philosophy is what we are what we can do is is just get rid of the nuclear weapons program. They're not going to be able to reconstitute that. That's what we said we were going in for

7:19that's what we got done. That's it. Goodbye. And when you see oil prices as you see them where the West Texas crude is back over $90 a barrel. The Brent crude is well over $100, $105, $106. And it could end differently. Like when you see it right now as you're hearing this, it could be in a much different place. Trump wants that at least back down in the 80s and back to the 70s and gas that's at an average $4.7. Well, no, it's 398 across the country on average. So $4. Gas back down to $3. Well, it's a lot easier to win reelection. I should say win the midterms. That way a lot, lot easier. And maybe that's enough for him. But the president held the cabinet meaning I'm going to share with you as much of the cabinet meaning as I can. I don't know what's going to get said. I'm going to do this with you. But you've got so many people and so

8:20many ways engaged. What how does Marco Rubio see it? What's going on with Secretary Kennedy, Health and Human Services? What are we going to hear from the Department of War? What are we going to hear from the DOJ in Pambondi? And by the way, Pambondi is still there? Is Laurie Sabez-Deremer who is accused of getting on with a staffer? Secretary of Labor, is she showing up? What is Chris Wright, the Secretary of Energy, have to say? Do they have anything interesting to say? Or is it everything's going great, Mr. President? You're doing a great job, Mr. President. Well done, Mr. President. All that crap that I hate. The sick offense stuff is the worst part of this administration. It's the worst. Don't blow smoke. Tell us what's going on. Give the update. Give the advice. Move on. Less blowing smoke. More blowing up the regime until they're gone. I mean, we're there. You decided to go in. I just believe in ending the job. Finishing the job. Ending the regime. I think it's better for everybody. And I kind of am stunned

9:25by the people who don't see that. I wonder what they think is better. Or is it just in that influencer class, just complaining is better. Yeah, that probably gets you more clicks. Keep it here.

Oh, everybody so happy around the table. Tony Katz. Tony Katz today. Good to be with you. There's Pete Hegseth. There's a good Suzy Wiles. Oh, there's Howard Lutnik. I was surprised to let Lutnik at the table after some of those Jeffrey Epstein conversations. I'm not kidding about that. Oh, Mark Wade Mullins, Secretary of Homeland Security, his first cabinet meeting. It's cabinet meeting in the middle of a war in the middle of a DHS shutdown. There is a lot that can get mentioned. So President Trump has them assembled. I want to bring you as much of this as possible because and you guys know that I'm a fan of this and the reason is is that very often what we get are curated clips from influencers news media, et cetera. I want to bring as much of what really

11:31happens to you because very often within that you get to hear things and I get to hear things that other people aren't sharing and we might find that actually more important more telling about what's going on. Meanwhile, the president is there. Everybody's assembled. Oh, there Scott Bessent Hare is looking perfect and let the games begin. Are you all ready? A lot of media is usual. So thank you to the incredible members of my cabinet. They're doing a phenomenal job. Everybody pretty much agrees to that. Including our newest members, Secretary of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne Mullin. Thank you, Mark. We all know very well and he was a very popular senator, a very effective senator. Effective probably being the more important to work, J.D. Do you think? Yes, sir. And we wish you a lot of luck. Thank you. I think you can do fantastically well. Congratulations to you. An amazing family that we're here yesterday in

12:36the awful morning. His family is amazing. Thank you very much. We're now on day 41 of the disgraceful Democrat shutdown of Mark Wayne's Department. Congratulations. You can't be doing the Department shutdown by the radical Democrats. But Democrats are really punishing the American people. So today on one of the shows when they were interviewing people at the airport and they're all angry at the Democrats. They're saying they're actually angry. Schumer, I don't think anyone knew his name. One woman said that Schumer is disgraceful. He's a disgrace to our country. But they're angry at the Democrats. They know what's happening. But they're punishing the American people, including travelers at airports all and the quest to return to open borders and give amnesty to illegal alien criminals. They want to give amnesty to some of the criminals that came into our country. Just about all of them. Actually, if you look at, they love sanctuary cities, which is a sanctuary for criminals.

13:39They want to make sure they're taken care of. That's what we're fighting about. That's really what they're fighting about. They don't talk about that, but that's what they're fighting about. They want to protect criminals. In many cases, 11,888 murders. Many of them, I will say, are gone now because of us. We got them out. But still have some left. Should have never happened. Should have never been allowed to come into our country. But we're not going to let it happen. We're not going to let the Democrats get away with this stuff. And people are wise to them. So they need to end the shutdown immediately or we'll have to take some very drastic measures. I have to assume that's what Senator Kennedy wants. John Kennedy, I don't lose the always a catchphrase to make you smile. His argument is, what are we doing with these people? These people are crazy. Forget them. Let's go do this whole thing via reconciliation. So real quick, the process in the Senate is you have to open debate and you have to close debate before you get to a vote. The vote can be 51, right? Simple majority. But to open debate and to close debate,

14:45you need 60 votes, cloture, C-L-O-T-U-R-E. That's what it is. Parliamentary procedure aimed to bring a debate to an end. Since you can't get over that 60 vote threshold because Democrats won't come on board to be rational people, you can utilize reconciliation. Reconciliation refers to budget items. It can only be utilized when talking about dollars. When it is reconciliation, the 60 vote threshold disappears and you only need the simple majority, 50 plus one. Now if Mark Wayne Mullen can get confirmed with 54 votes, two Democrats coming across, by the way. Well then, it is fair to say you will have enough Republican votes and even if you get to a 50-50 tie, you have the tie break with the vice president, JD Vance, the vice president, being the president of the Senate. So you either have president Trump saying the more drastic

15:49thing is the removal of the filibuster or I think you go to the Senate or Kennedy way, do the whole thing via reconciliation assuming that you can and that he's correct about this and just move past these absolutely pathetic Democrats in the Senate. Fury, which is an appropriate name because we are absolutely obliterating them. Over the past three weeks, we've been hitting a ranch military capabilities at a level that few people have ever seen before. People never knew there was such a capability. We're the strongest military anywhere in the world before. I built it during my first administration and I used it during my second administration. Unfortunately, because I'd rather not have to use it, but it's a display of force and precision and skill like nothing the world has really witnessed, although you get a pretty good witnessing of it in Venezuela also.

16:49That was a smaller version of what we're doing now. We're crushing their missiles and drone stockpiles destroying the defense industrial base. We've wiped out their navy completely. Their Air Force completely. We've wiped out a large percentage of their missiles and the missile launchers, without the launchers, you can't. The missiles don't do any good and we've knocked out probably close to 90% of the launchers. Probably more than 90% of the missiles themselves between some of they fired and more than they fired we knocked out. We've also destroyed a lot of the factories. We're continuing to do that, but a lot of the factories where they manufacture the drones and the missiles. The drones do are way down, but the reason they're down is they go one way. They don't come back because for the most part we're shooting them down, but we also are able to we've really done tremendous damage to the places where they make them.

17:52And just so we set the record straight because I've been watching the Wall Street Journal's fake news and all these stories that get printed like oh I want to make a deal. They are begging to make a deal. They're not me. They're begging to make a deal. And anybody that saw what was happening over there would understand why they want to make a deal. But they say oh we're not talking to them. Anybody would know that. It's only a total fun. They're not fools. They're very smart actually in a certain way. And they're great negotiators. I say they're lousy fighters but they're great negotiators. And they are begging to work out a deal. I don't know if we'll be able to do that. I don't know if we're willing to do that. They should have done that four weeks ago. They should have done it two years ago. Or they should have done it where we first came into office because two years ago that free reign under Biden's sleepy Joe. Where's President in the history of our country when he allowed to happen to our country at the borders. And even rather than the thing

18:53like this. But not just him. Every president for 47 years every president should have done this. They should have done it a long time ago because you cannot give lunatics a nuclear weapon. And you correct. You cannot give lunatics a nuclear weapon. You cannot allow terrorism to fester. You can't. Now as for this idea of we're trying to make a deal and we present them deals and all. There is no knowing what's really going on behind the scenes. They know and we don't. Now I think that this bothers a great number of people. I'm not someone bothered by it. I've always accepted the idea that part of the electing of leaders is that their job is to handle the thing. And you don't always get to know everything. Now when secrets are kept from Americans because things are being utilized against Americans, well, that's a different conversation. But I don't need to know everything. I accept the fact that misdirection takes place. And I think

19:58that that has been brought back into the fold of our presentation of our policies in a good smart and valuable way. It has been important that this take place. Should we have dealt with the Iranian threat before this? Absolutely. No question that we should have. I should, however, give it the caveat that I think, I don't know if the president certainly won't. I don't know if he knows he even think that he has to, but I give it. It is possible to say that when we were talking about Iran in the 80s and the 90s, maybe though we were massively strong, maybe we were concerned about other things about what the Iranians could do in their possibilities, where the capabilities were that we didn't know, because we didn't have that level of advancement and the technology to know everything. It's possible, possible to give a grace there. But as a concept,

20:58the Iranians had to be dealt with. This regime had to be dealt with. Now it's getting dealt with. Let's get into this cabinet meeting and hear what some of the other cabinet officials have to say. More is coming up. This is Tony Katz today. So the cabinet meeting continued and I'm bringing it to you because when Trump gets on a role, I don't know, it's just such a joy. And sometimes in those stream of consciousness moments, you actually learned something about the man. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be with you. And so as he's talking, making the opening statement about what's going on with Iran, he gets into NATO and the UK. Yeah, he's strong punches as he does.

22:03But I was always involved in politics and understood politics. I said 25 years ago that NATO is a paper tiger, but more importantly, that we'll come to their rescue, but they will never come to ours. And I want you to remember that we said this. They didn't come to our rescue. Now they all want to help when they're annihilated. The other side is annihilated. They said, we'd love to send ships. They actually made a statement. A couple of them that we want to get involved when the war's over. No, it's supposed to get involved with the war's beginning or even before it begins. We had the UK say that we'll send, this is three weeks ago, we'll send our aircraft carriers, which aren't the best aircraft carriers, by the way. It toys compared to what we have, but we'll send our aircraft carrier when the war's over. I said, oh, that's wonderful. Thank you very much. We don't bother. We don't need it. And we don't need it. And we don't need them. We estimated it would take approximately four to six weeks to achieve our mission. And we're

23:07way ahead of schedule. If you look at what we've done in terms of the destruction of that country, I mean, we're way ahead. Think of it. They have no navy. And they had good ships. 154 ships have been shot down and are resting very nicely at the bottom of the sea. And we did that in a matter of less than a week because we have the greatest military in the world by far, nobody even close. So we estimated it would take approximately four to six weeks. We're not going to stop him here just for a second. I know four to six weeks and all this jazz. And then you tell us you're ahead of schedule, but we don't know the schedule. The schedule means in the end of this time frame, we will have done X. And the question, of course, is what is X? This is the key question, the fundamental. Is this about the end of the regime or is this just about eliminating nuclear capability? Which one is it? That's the question. And then he got into,

24:14of course, markets, what's going on with oil and how things are affecting Americans and trade and farmers? 50,000 during the four-year period because it was too high a number. Well, we hit it in our first year. And I said, well, now we have to take an excursion to Iran and we have to stop this maniac who's no longer with us. The Supreme Leader, who wasn't so supreme, no longer with us. Very sad. But we have to stop him from blowing up the world, blowing up the Middle East and blowing up our country. And we did that. And I thought, frankly, I thought the oil prices would go up more. And I thought the stock market would go down more. It hasn't been nearly as severe as I thought. I think they have confidence in maybe the American president and maybe the people sitting around this table. But Americans, finally, their taxes this year are receiving record-setting refunds. It's been a very big story. Well, it should be a big story. I don't think you're right

25:15about it that much. I speak about it. You know, I speak about it because if I speak about it, at least people here, you don't write about it. You don't write about the drug prices going down. It'll be going down 30, 40, 50, 60 percent, 70 percent favorite nations. Called most favorite nations, we're going to be paying the lowest price anywhere in the world before we paid the highest price in the world, Bobby, right? And now we're going to pay the lowest price in the world. That's quite a difference. It's a difference of from 40 to 70 and 80 and even 90 percent. That's a pretty big difference. But with slashing regulations and investment is boring in from all over the world. We have the most investment of any country in history has been put into our country in the last year. And again, we had to take a little detour. Won't be long. Can I answer? We had to take a little detour, go to a rent, and we had to put out a

26:16fire. Very dangerous fire that could have blown up. Big portions of the world, if not the whole thing. You can't call it an excursion. You can't call it a detour when you have dead soldiers and you're putting people on the line. You have to present it better than that. It's just it's going to help him. Don't get mad at me. It's going to help him if he just does it if you would just listen. You can argue Tony, that's just a personal thing with you. It drives you nuts. You're the only person it's driving nuts. I doubt that, but sure. And then the president started to move it around the horn. I believe it started with Vice President Vance. Hey, please. Yes, sir. Well, thank you. It's good to see everybody proud to be part of this scene, proud to be serving the president of the country. I'll just say a couple things. The first of all is the president summarized this very ably. But look, the Iranian conventional military is effectively destroyed. They don't have a navy. They don't have the ability to hit us like they could have hit a few weeks ago. What that does is that gives us options, Mr. President.

27:18Now, there's been a lot of reporting about diplomatic options, about negotiations. There's of course Pete and his team. There are further military options. But what we have now that we didn't have when the president took over just a little over a year ago is the ability to use every tool that our disposal to ensure that Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon. Because when I say options, I think it's important the American people know options for what. And it's options to ensure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon. You talk about people who walk into a crowded supermarket and have a vest on and they blow up the vest and a couple of people get killed and that's a terrible tragedy. What happens when what's on the vest is not something that can kill a couple of people but can kill many, many tens of thousands of people. That is the most important American national security objective that exists for any administration at any time is you don't want the worst people in the world to have a nuclear weapon. That's why the president is doing this. That's why the president cares so much about this particular issue. Let's see if talk a little bit about the details of the negotiation. But the last thing I'll say before I turn it over

28:21to Marco is I'm very mindful of course that we have a lot of folks overseas fighting very ably for the United States of America and the Pete and the whole team were very proud of them. But they're fighting at a time where we're about to enter as Christians the most important week of the Christian calendar. The Holy Week that celebrates the return of Jesus Christ to Jerusalem and so I want to say to all of my fellow American Christians but particularly those serving in the Gulf that I wish you all very blessed Easter, very blessed Holy Week and we continue to stand behind you and continue to support you every step the way. Thank you sir. Now we could actually break down for a while how intentional that was from the vice president, how purposeful people are going to weed into this level of coded right because that's what they're going to do. Can can I just take a moment? Very nice gesture. Very nice gesture. Good reminder, good recognition,

29:24zero issue with it whatsoever because I'm not going to read into it. Other people are going to do that and I say, oh, bless your heart. Me it's Easter and it is for a lot of people very important. It is the basis of their entire belief system. I think noting that, recognizing that, wanting to be engaged with that. That's worthwhile from any elected official. Do I think there was purpose to it? Absolutely. Do I think people are going to read into it into the code? Sure. Me now. I've no issue with that message whatsoever. Keep it here. This is Tony Katz today. The Toyota Tundra and Tacoma are built to keep going backed by Toyota's reputation for legendary reliability. Step into a Tundra with the available I force max hybrid engine, delivering impressive torque and serious towing power or take a look at Tacoma with an available power liftgate. So gear goes in fast and the adventure keeps moving. Toyota trucks are built to

30:26last year after year, mile after mile. So drive one home today. Visit toyota.com for more Toyota. Let's go places. So we've been following the cabinet meeting that happened today. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, an absolute pleasure. And the president shared his thoughts, his very often stream of consciousness kind of thoughts. And then it went to the vice president, JD Vance and very specific about how we degraded Iranian leadership, destroyed their leadership, degraded their navy, gave a message of happy Easter. And when I say coded, by the way, people are going to look at that. Oh, it's a coded message. This was an anti-Israel message. It was a pro-Israel message. I think he wished the troops a very happy Easter and reminded people that for a lot of people in the United States around the globe, Easter is everything. It's the foundation of their religious beliefs and zero issue with it. I'm going to let other people read into whatever it is they want. It doesn't move me at all. To think that I should dig into,

31:29what is this political meaning here? Can't something just, sometimes the cigar is just the cigar. Can it just be a happy Easter message? That's what I choose. And you heard president Trump say, I'm very disappointed with NATO. And then all of a sudden, here's the chief of NATO, Mark Root. Are you TTE talking Trump up? We have seen with North Korea, if we negotiate for too long, you might pass the moment when you can still get this thing down. And North Korea now has the nuclear capability. If Iran would have the nuclear capability, including together with the missile capability, it would be a direct threat, an existential threat to Israel, to the region, to Europe, to the stability in the world. So the president doing this is crucial. And I've seen the polling, but I really hope the American people will be with him because he is doing this to make the whole world safer. That's the way it has to be focused. It's not that I don't want Israel to be safe. I do. I need to be safe. America needs to be safe. I only move from, is it an America's

32:33interest? And the Angela's, of course, it's an America's interest to take out the Iranian regime. I find it weird that there are people who say, no, it's not an imminent threat. I categorize those people as children. They shouldn't be allowed to operate heavy machinery. They should get a snack and then nap time because they clearly need it. They're not yet adult enough to handle what it is is going on out there. This terrorist threat, that is a threat to every American, to how Americans move around the globe. It's removal, the removal of the regime. Never mind what we're talking about about eliminating any nuclear possibility. All good. Massive wins for all of us. And that's the way it should be phrased. That's good for Israel. Well, great. They're beneficiaries. Are we the beneficiaries? That's step one. That is step one. Meanwhile, the president moves things over to the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. This is the most important job any president has is to keep

33:34the American people safe. And every president says it, but we have a president that means it and does something about it. As the president outlined very clearly to the world on the night this operation began, Iran has been at war with the United States for 47 years. For 47 years, Iran has been killing Americans and attacking Americans across this planet. And other presidents had an opportunity to do something about it. And they all warned about how Iran was dangerous, but they refused to act. And this president's not someone that's going to refuse to act. He's not going to leave a danger like this in place. He's going to address it. And that is what he is doing. From the very first night of this operation, the president made it very clear, people like this. And now, what I'm talking about is not the people of Iran. The people that run this country are radical Shia clerics. These are religious fanatics. Look what they are doing now at their weakest point. This is the weakest Iran has ever been. And look at what they're doing. They're attacking embassies. They're embassies. They're attacking hotels. They imagine what these people would do if they had a nuclear weapon. That is an unacceptable risk for the world. By the way, the president's not

34:34just doing a favor to the United States and to our people. This is for the world. He defined very clearly on the first night of this operation what the goal was. We were going to destroy Iran's navy and that is happening. We were going to, if it hasn't already happened, I'll let Pete speak to the specifics of it. We were going to destroy their missile launching capabilities. We're well under way to achieving that goal. We were going to destroy the factory so they couldn't make more missiles and more drums. And that is moving forward. Every single objective, the president, clearly laid out on the first night of this operation is being effectuated. Again, Pete will speak to the specifics of it. This has been an incredibly successful operation. Every day, it may not get covered because, you know, we're unlike them. We're not bombing embassies in hotels. We're hitting military targets. But every day, the Department of War lets the drummer get wicked over every portion of Iran that has these military capabilities and the results are going to bear fruit for the world. The world is going to be a safer and a better place when President Trump's mission here is achieved. And frankly, I think countries around the world,

35:35even those that are out there complaining about this a little bit, should actually be grateful that the United States has a president that's willing to confront a threat like this and not allow it to continue to persist. Because these people will kill as many Americans as they have a chance to do. And if they have a nuclear weapon, as the Vice President pointed out, they could kill millions of Americans in the future. And not as a risk that was not going to continue to exist as long as we had this president. Now, I did start by saying I don't like the overlautatory stuff, the brown nosing stuff of the president. But did Marco Rubio just listen to us? That's how you present it. It is. Because when he's talking about the president, you can clearly make the line that he's talking about you and me and everyone who voted for him. We made the change. We wanted somebody who would lead. We wanted someone who would take on the threat. We wanted someone who would be the size of we wanted someone who would engage in overwhelming force. Because this is about America. This is for America for America. Safety for America's security. And we're doing the job. We're hitting the targets of where the guy is

36:38nearly unrivaled in his capability to explain. And I will admit, I think that Trump has come to the realization that Marco is so good at this, that even if he feels that Marco might sometimes steal his thunder in the presentation, it's worth it. It's better than going, than creating a rift or creating any tension. Will he keep up with that? I don't know because I really do think he thought JD Vance was the future. We are so far away from 2020, 28 is to be believed. But Marco has been a win for him, a win in the press, a win with voters all the way around a win. And he did that very well. That's how you address it. What is it that we need to do? Why is it that it needs to be done? And how does it benefit us the American people? That's the message. I can't

37:40believe we actually have to explain this to people. It blows my mind. Look at us. We have to explain to people why you have to discuss how it helps Americans first and foremost. Crazy town. Crazy. Remember, Democrats are interested in helping Americans at all. Another story for another day. Find everything at TonyCats.com tomorrow, everyone. Take care.
