Goodbye Hollywood · David Pollack Primetime

0:10
Speaker 1: It seems companies cannot get out of California fast enough
0:15
Speaker 1: under Gavin Newsom. The list of businesses that have fled
0:18
Speaker 1: the state, it reads like a stock ticker. Tesla, gone
0:22
Speaker 1: to Texas. SpaceX, gone. Chevron, after 150 years in California,
0:26
Speaker 1: gone to Houston. Oracle, Palantir, Charles Schwab, Hewlett-Packard, Enterprise, McKayson,
0:31
Speaker 1: I mean, more company after company. Hundreds of billions of dollars, jobs,
0:38
Speaker 1: packing up and leaving the highest taxes and the heaviest
0:42
Speaker 1: regulations anywhere in the entire country. And now and now
0:46
Speaker 1: the biggest name of them all, a name synonymous with California. Well,
0:52
Speaker 1: they're putting a deposit down on a new place to
0:54
Speaker 1: live in a moving truck. Paramount Pictures. That's right. 114
0:59
Speaker 1: years in Hollywood. The mountain, the stars, the studio that
1:03
Speaker 1: helped build the American film industry. Well, they're getting ready
1:07
Speaker 1: to leave California. So why would a company walk away
1:11
Speaker 1: from Hollywood itself, especially a film company? Well, here's why.
1:16
Speaker 1: California's Democrat Attorney General Rob Bonta, along with 11 other
1:21
Speaker 1: Democrat Attorneys General, decided to sue to block Paramount's merger.
1:27
Speaker 1: WITH WONDER BROTHERS. THAT LAWSUIT IS COSTING PARAMOUNT A FORTUNE,
1:30
Speaker 1: $ 7 BILLION BREAKUP FEE IF THE DEAL DIES AND A
1:34
Speaker 1: TICKING PENALTY THAT PILES UP TO MORE THAN A BILLION
1:38
Speaker 1: DOLLARS BY THE TIME THIS THING GETS TO TRIAL. SO
1:41
Speaker 1: THE CEO, DAVID ELLISON, DID THE MATH. HE LOOKED AT
1:45
Speaker 1: A STATE SUING TO KILL HIS BUSINESS DEAL STACKED ON
1:48
Speaker 1: TOP OF THE NATION'S HIGHEST TAXES AND HE DECIDED, YOU
1:51
Speaker 1: KNOW WHAT, I'D RATHER LEAVE THAN KEEP GETTING PUNISHED FOR
1:55
Speaker 1: TRYING TO DO A DEAL IN THIS STATE. And Bonta
1:57
Speaker 1: canceled a settlement meeting last month and tried to call
2:01
Speaker 1: his bluff. Well, it turns out he went bluffing. And
2:05
Speaker 1: the price California will pay for Bonta's crusade is staggering
2:08
Speaker 1: by Paramount's own analysis. Losing the studio could cost the
2:11
Speaker 1: state up to $ 21 billion in economic output and nearly 60,000 jobs, 60,000
2:17
Speaker 1: families affected. And get this, even the Democrats' own nominee
2:23
Speaker 1: for governor, Xavier Becerra, supported the merger. Newsom supported it.
2:29
Speaker 1: The union supported it. And Bonta sued to kill it anyway.
2:33
Speaker 1: And in doing so, he may have just run Hollywood
2:35
Speaker 1: out of Hollywood. And this is what happens when you
2:39
Speaker 1: elect Democrats. They lose opportunities and jobs because they make
2:45
Speaker 1: things impossible for the people in their states. My next
2:50
Speaker 1: guest is the man running to replace Rob Bonta as
2:53
Speaker 1: Attorney General of California. He'll do a much better job,
2:56
Speaker 1: and he will bring Hollywood back, Michael Gates. Welcome back,
3:00
Speaker 1: David Pollak, primetime. What an insane decision by the Attorney
3:05
Speaker 1: General of California to chase away, really, something that is
3:09
Speaker 1: so California. I mean, what do you make of this?
3:13
Speaker 2: Well, just so the audience knows, too, oftentimes I think
3:16
Speaker 2: people who don't know how these complex mergers and the
3:22
Speaker 2: antitrust issues, I think they think, well, we'll just trust
3:27
Speaker 2: the government or we'll trust our Attorney General. What they
3:30
Speaker 2: need to know is that the paramount Warner Brothers merger
3:34
Speaker 2: has already been vetted, not only by our federal government,
3:37
Speaker 2: but the FCC just came out in support of it, again,
3:40
Speaker 2: with a recent announcement. It has been vetted by every
3:43
Speaker 2: other interested stakeholder, whether it's the European Union or any
3:47
Speaker 2: other country. They have all blessed it, supported it, and
3:50
Speaker 2: that's because it's going to make the entertainment industry better.
3:53
Speaker 2: It's actually going to stimulate the economies and it's going
3:56
Speaker 2: to create jobs.
3:57
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, this is a scam.
3:59
Speaker 2: It is a sham, politically charged lawsuit by Rob Bonta
4:03
Speaker 2: against Paramount and Warner Brothers. And many say it is
4:07
Speaker 2: a political favor to Netflix. Rob Bonta's buddy Netflix, who
4:12
Speaker 2: has funneled, allegedly funneled nearly a million dollars Netflix has
4:17
Speaker 2: towards Bonta and his interests over.
4:19
Speaker 3: The past few years.
4:21
Speaker 2: And so people see this as a political favor to Netflix.
4:24
Speaker 2: Netflix actually tried to merge with Warner Brothers once upon
4:27
Speaker 2: a time, and Rob Bonta didn't have any concerns about
4:30
Speaker 2: that proposed merger. But now that it's Paramount, he's throwing
4:33
Speaker 2: the flag. And so he's causing a lot of trouble.
4:35
Speaker 2: He's out there saying it's because he cares about consumers
4:39
Speaker 2: and he's trying to make sure that people can still
4:42
Speaker 2: afford to go to the movies and afford entertainment. And
4:45
Speaker 2: so he's trying to tap into this affordability concern, excuse me,
4:49
Speaker 2: in California.
4:50
Speaker 3: But what he's missing is that's not it at all.
4:52
Speaker 2: He's actually driving big business, big employers out of the
4:55
Speaker 2: state by doing this. If Paramount leaves, which it looks
4:58
Speaker 2: like they are, that's nearly 60,000 jobs are going to
5:01
Speaker 2: be lost, not only in the entertainment industry, but all
5:05
Speaker 2: of the supporting businesses that surround the entertainment industry. So
5:09
Speaker 2: we're talking Nearly 60,000 jobs, excuse me, lost if Paramount leaves.
5:15
Speaker 2: So Rob Bonta, for pure political gain to scratch the
5:20
Speaker 2: back of Netflix, he's literally suing big business, big employers
5:25
Speaker 2: out of the state of California. And like you said
5:27
Speaker 2: in your opening, these are like, this is part of
5:30
Speaker 2: California's history, California's culture. Paramount's here over 100 years, been
5:35
Speaker 2: here in California building the entertainment industry. And yet we've got,
5:39
Speaker 2: these radicals, these elitists in Sacramento driving big business and
5:42
Speaker 2: big employers, by the way, these are jobs, 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000,
5:47
Speaker 2: up to 60,000 jobs lost when these businesses leave. So
5:52
Speaker 2: we're in crisis in California and our elitists in Sacramento,
5:55
Speaker 2: like Rob Bonta, are not doing us any favors.
5:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, it is 60,000 jobs and 60,000
6:01
Speaker 1: families that would be affected and probably a lot more
6:04
Speaker 1: when you start to consider all the other things that
6:06
Speaker 1: are affiliated with that studio. But It's also, like you mentioned,
6:11
Speaker 1: it's California. It's the history, it's Hollywood. It is such a...
6:17
Speaker 1: I THINK IT'S A GREAT POINT. I THINK IT'S AN
6:19
Speaker 1: INSULT TO THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA, THE PRIDE. WHEN YOU
6:20
Speaker 1: THINK OF LOS ANGELES, YOU THINK OF HOLLYWOOD, AND THAT
6:23
Speaker 1: IS THE COMPANY THEY'RE CHASING OUT OF THE STATE. YOU
6:25
Speaker 1: WOULD FIGURE A STATE WOULD BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO MAKE
6:28
Speaker 1: PARAMOUNT STUDIOS HAPPY TO STAY IN THAT STATE BECAUSE SO
6:31
Speaker 1: MUCH OF CALIFORNIA'S IDENTITY IS TIED UP IN THAT STUDIO.
6:35
Speaker 1: AND YET BONT, AS YOU'RE SAYING, BONT IS MORE CONCERNED
6:39
Speaker 1: WITH HIS FRIENDSHIPS AND DONORS THAN HE IS WITH THE
6:41
Speaker 1: PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA. about whether they want that sort of
6:48
Speaker 1: person in charge of some of these decisions that affect
6:52
Speaker 1: their state. So what can you do when you're elected
6:55
Speaker 1: to keep Paramount from leaving? Do you have a choice
6:57
Speaker 1: at this point?
6:58
Speaker 3: Well, yeah.
6:59
Speaker 2: So everything that Rob Bonta seems to be doing is
7:01
Speaker 2: very un-American, whether it's driving big businesses out of California
7:05
Speaker 2: like Paramount, which is part of our California history.
7:09
Speaker 3: Or the Stop Nick Shirley Act.
7:10
Speaker 2: He did not throw the flag and say that that
7:12
Speaker 2: is a violation of our First Amendment rights. Even our
7:14
Speaker 2: Second Amendment rights are constantly under attack by Rob Bonta
7:17
Speaker 2: and his lawsuits. He's very un-American. Everything he does is un-American.
7:21
Speaker 2: I think he, frankly, he hates us everyday Californians. When
7:24
Speaker 2: I'm Attorney General, I'm going to fight to keep business here.
7:27
Speaker 2: The Stop Nick Shirley Act is going to be stopped
7:29
Speaker 2: on day one. I'm not going to enforce it because
7:31
Speaker 2: doing so would violate the First Amendment rights of everyday Californians.
7:34
Speaker 2: I'm going to fight to restore Second Amendment rights and
7:37
Speaker 2: I'm going.
7:37
Speaker 3: To fight to keep businesses here.
7:38
Speaker 2: I can dismiss this lawsuit and I can come out
7:41
Speaker 2: with a strongly worded opinion which will be backed by
7:43
Speaker 2: credibility and experience. I actually had antitrust cases when I
7:47
Speaker 2: was the city attorney of Huntington Beach. I was in
7:49
Speaker 2: court at the federal district court and the Ninth Circuit
7:51
Speaker 2: Court of Appeals arguing antitrust.
7:54
Speaker 3: I know antitrust law. I know this.
7:56
Speaker 2: Paramount and Warner Brothers merger is not an antitrust violation.
7:59
Speaker 2: And so I will be leading the charge to dismiss
8:01
Speaker 2: this lawsuit entirely in order to try to get Paramount to.
8:05
Speaker 3: Stay in California.
8:06
Speaker 2: We need these businesses here and why I'm not going
8:09
Speaker 2: to use the law to be weaponized against our employers
8:13
Speaker 2: and everyday Californians here in California.
8:15
Speaker 1: Now, can the governor do it? Can Gavin Newsom, apparently
8:18
Speaker 1: he supported the merger. Can he do anything to.
8:20
Speaker 3: This attorney general?
8:22
Speaker 2: Newsom has already come out admonishing Rob Bonta, our attorney general.
8:27
Speaker 2: And it seems like you said every high-profile Democrat, even
8:30
Speaker 2: Karen Bass of LA, has been coming out against Rob
8:33
Speaker 2: Bonta on this lawsuit against this merger. So the Attorney
8:36
Speaker 2: General has a lot of independent authority that's not dependent
8:39
Speaker 2: on the governor, the legislature, or even local authorities.
8:42
Speaker 3: And so Rob Bonta has this ability.
8:45
Speaker 2: He has this authority, which is why it's so crucial
8:47
Speaker 2: in this election that we elect responsible adults who will
8:51
Speaker 2: not politicize their authority and abuse their authority and their
8:55
Speaker 2: departments like Rob Bonta is with the Attorney General's office.
8:59
Speaker 2: And we have somebody who's actually going to be there
9:02
Speaker 2: abiding by the law, upholding and defending the rule of
9:04
Speaker 2: law and looking out for everyday Californians and our businesses here.
9:07
Speaker 2: So Rob Bonta unfortunately can be doing this and it
9:10
Speaker 2: doesn't really frankly matter what Newsom says or what Karen
9:13
Speaker 2: Bass says, unfortunately.
9:16
Speaker 3: But that's why it's so important.
9:17
Speaker 2: People need to know how high stakes the Attorney General's
9:20
Speaker 2: race is here in November. I'm going to return law
9:23
Speaker 2: and order to the state of California when I'm AG.
9:25
Speaker 2: I'm going to stop these political lawsuits and I'm going
9:28
Speaker 2: to be fighting for everyday Californians and not against them.
9:30
Speaker 2: Rob Bonta is highly destructive to California, our way of
9:33
Speaker 2: living and our future.
9:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, you said something really important here. Now, look, I'm
9:38
Speaker 1: sure this entire audience is going to vote for Hilton
9:40
Speaker 1: and supports Hilton. But for anybody that may be not
9:44
Speaker 1: supporting Hilton, like I said, I think everybody should. But
9:47
Speaker 1: they do have a choice. They can still elect an
9:49
Speaker 1: attorney general that better represents their interests. This isn't a
9:53
Speaker 1: one size fits all ticket. And if you're upset with
9:56
Speaker 1: what Rob Bonta is doing, even over the objections of
9:58
Speaker 1: the Democrat governor. and even if Hilton isn't successful and
10:03
Speaker 1: Bonta keeps his seat, he'll defy whatever Democrat wins this race.
10:08
Speaker 1: And so that's why it's vital that they look at
10:09
Speaker 1: these races separately, too, and look at you as an
10:12
Speaker 1: attorney general and look what you've done in Huntington Beach
10:14
Speaker 1: to protect voters' rights. And now look what you're going
10:16
Speaker 1: to do to save Hollywood in California, right?
10:20
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
10:20
Speaker 2: There's a tremendous amount of independent authority that the attorney
10:23
Speaker 2: general has, and I can do everything that I want
10:26
Speaker 2: to do to restore law and order to California with
10:28
Speaker 2: or without the governor. So even if Becerra becomes governor,
10:31
Speaker 2: I am going to work day in and day out
10:34
Speaker 2: 24 seven to restore law and order to the state
10:36
Speaker 2: of California and to protect our jobs here and to
10:40
Speaker 2: make sure that we keep Paramount here. I want, when
10:42
Speaker 2: I'm in office, I hope Paramount, they may be planning
10:45
Speaker 2: to leave, but I hope they give it two more
10:46
Speaker 2: months because when I win, They will have every reason
10:49
Speaker 2: to stay in California. And that's what the Attorney General
10:52
Speaker 2: can do. So I know the governor's race is important,
10:55
Speaker 2: but with or without a supportive governor, I can work
10:58
Speaker 2: day in and day out on a daily basis without
11:00
Speaker 2: the permission of the governor or a grant of authority
11:03
Speaker 2: from the governor to restore California to a law and
11:06
Speaker 2: order state, to fight for constitutional rights, to fight for
11:08
Speaker 2: our businesses, to drop political lawsuits. The list goes on
11:11
Speaker 2: and on and on. And so I assure you, I
11:13
Speaker 2: will fight for everyday Californians, but Californians have to put
11:17
Speaker 2: me into office. If Bonta gets reelected, things are only
11:20
Speaker 2: going to get worse in his second term. Imagine the
11:22
Speaker 2: destruction that he has reaped in the first, the destruction
11:27
Speaker 2: he has sowed in the first term. Imagine what he's
11:29
Speaker 2: going to do in the second term if he gets reelected.
11:32
Speaker 2: It's going to be far worse. We need a change
11:33
Speaker 2: in California. Now is the time to rescue California. I'm
11:36
Speaker 2: the man to do it. I just need the people
11:38
Speaker 2: to put me there.
11:40
Speaker 1: Michael Gates, I wish you the best of luck to
11:42
Speaker 1: do it. Good luck in saving the California film industry.
11:46
Speaker 1: It's now up to the voters in just a few
11:48
Speaker 1: weeks to save the film industry in California by electing you.
11:52
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here. I look forward
11:54
Speaker 1: to talking to you throughout this election process. And good luck,
11:56
Speaker 1: my friend. Thank you. Still ahead, Canada spent a year
12:02
Speaker 1: offended that President Trump called it the 51st state election.
12:08
Speaker 1: So why is it now throwing itself at the feet
12:11
Speaker 1: of the European Union? Then the Kennedy Center is literally
12:16
Speaker 1: rotting behind a tarp and the left would rather watch
12:19
Speaker 1: it crumble than let Trump save it. And a stolen Tesla,
12:24
Speaker 1: a packed boardwalk and a good Samaritan who caught the
12:27
Speaker 1: entire takedown on his own smart glasses. It's a story
12:31
Speaker 1: you're not going to believe. Stick around.
12:37

13:13
Speaker 1: For the better part of a year, President Trump has
13:15
Speaker 1: floated an idea, it's half a joke, half a jab,
13:19
Speaker 1: that Canada should just go ahead and become the 51st state.
13:24
Speaker 1: Every single time he says it, the Canadian political class, well,
13:27
Speaker 1: they kind of lose their minds, right? Outrage, offense, how
13:31
Speaker 1: dare he threaten our sovereignty, pride. Well, a very funny
13:36
Speaker 1: thing happened this week. Canada found itself Another suitor. So
13:42
Speaker 1: apparently they wanted to be a state, just not ours.
13:46
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, the head of the European Union, Ursula von
13:49
Speaker 1: der Leyen, she stood up and offered to make Canada
13:54
Speaker 1: EU's first ever associate member. It doesn't even exist. It's
13:59
Speaker 1: a brand new category. She just made it up. And somehow,
14:04
Speaker 1: that's less offensive than offering somebody something that actually exists. No,
14:08
Speaker 1: they're just going to make up a class to basically
14:11
Speaker 1: make Canada inferior to the European Union. And they're fine
14:14
Speaker 1: with it. Not only are they fine with it. Canada's
14:17
Speaker 1: Prime Minister, Mark Carney, he went and hopped on a
14:21
Speaker 1: plane immediately after he heard it. He flew to Strasbourg,
14:24
Speaker 1: and he gave a swooning speech to the European Parliament.
14:28
Speaker 1: Y'all but leapt. into von der Leyen's arms to a
14:32
Speaker 1: standing ovation. Loves the Europeans. So let me make sure
14:37
Speaker 1: I have all this right. Joining the United States, your
14:40
Speaker 1: next-door neighbor, your biggest single trading partner, the nation that
14:43
Speaker 1: has defended your skies for the better part of a century. Well,
14:46
Speaker 1: that's an insult to Canadian dignity, but being folded into
14:51
Speaker 1: a sprawling, faceless, failing bureaucracy 4,000 miles across the ocean,
14:56
Speaker 1: one that can't even tell what associate member would mean,
15:00
Speaker 1: whether Canada gets into the single market, whose rules, we
15:04
Speaker 1: don't have to follow any of it. That's a great honor.
15:08
Speaker 1: Worth flying across the country for. And why is Carney
15:12
Speaker 1: even doing this? It's because he's mad at Trump. He
15:16
Speaker 1: didn't like Trump. He's mad at the tariffs. And the
15:19
Speaker 1: 51st state talk and the memes, he wants to show
15:23
Speaker 1: Trump that he can run into the arms of Europe instead.
15:27
Speaker 1: It's a tantrum dressed up as a foreign policy decision.
15:30
Speaker 1: And President Trump, he thinks the whole thing's hilarious. He
15:34
Speaker 1: said it's laughable. He warned that if EU is doing
15:37
Speaker 1: this as a hostile act to the United States, he'll
15:39
Speaker 1: put very heavy tariffs on Europe. He even floated cutting
15:45
Speaker 1: back trade with Europe altogether. In other words, go ahead, Canada.
15:51
Speaker 1: Go run off to Brussels. And we're going to see
15:53
Speaker 1: how well that works out for you and the rest
15:55
Speaker 1: of the EU. Now, my next guest is a Canadian
15:58
Speaker 1: journalist who has been sounding the alarm about exactly where
16:00
Speaker 1: Carney is taking Canada. I'm excited to welcome back Dimpy Brar. Dimpy,
16:06
Speaker 1: welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time. And how's Avatar doing?
16:10
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for having me, Mr.
16:12
Speaker 6: Pollock.
16:13
Speaker 5: And Aftar is going to be doing much better once
16:15
Speaker 5: he hears the fact that he.
16:16
Speaker 7: Got a shout out.
16:18
Speaker 1: So tell me what's going on in Canada.
16:21
Speaker 5: Well, essentially what we've had here is actually a much
16:23
Speaker 5: bigger story. You see, Mr. Carney initially went on the
16:27
Speaker 5: record as did other government sources and denied that he
16:30
Speaker 5: was even looking into associate membership status. You see, our
16:34
Speaker 5: parliament isn't even open right now. So he's doing all
16:37
Speaker 5: of this without any kind of approval from not just
16:40
Speaker 5: from the people, but from Parliament itself. His own members
16:43
Speaker 5: are unaware of his plans and actions right now. So
16:47
Speaker 5: the issue is this. We already have a free trade
16:51
Speaker 5: agreement with the EU called the CETA. So this must
16:55
Speaker 5: be something more than free trade. And what does associate
16:58
Speaker 5: membership even mean? Like you said, it doesn't exist. Well,
17:01
Speaker 5: I have a thought about what he might have in mind.
17:05
Speaker 5: You see, Mr. Carney is a true believer, a man
17:08
Speaker 5: of his word. His argument in his Davos speech is
17:12
Speaker 5: exactly what he's been articulating and pushing towards this entire time. Unfortunately,
17:17
Speaker 5: it's become clear now that he used the anti-Americanism and
17:20
Speaker 5: the anti-Trumpism to consolidate public opinion behind him in Canada
17:25
Speaker 5: so he could pivot to Brussels and Beijing. And by
17:28
Speaker 5: the way, the line is very thin between those two.
17:31
Speaker 5: To pivot to Brussels and Beijing over and against the
17:35
Speaker 5: will of what would initially be the Canadian people. What
17:38
Speaker 5: he's doing right now or attempting to do right now
17:41
Speaker 5: is to start an anti-Trump resistance movement, a global movement.
17:46
Speaker 5: But let's be honest, this only serves one person's purpose,
17:49
Speaker 5: and that's Xi Jinping. That's who benefits from all of this. Mr.
17:53
Speaker 5: Carney is the globalist in quotes, but he's really just
17:57
Speaker 5: a face for Chinese nationalism.
17:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this whole global coalition to oppose Trump, You know,
18:03
Speaker 1: that's like totally 2016. That has been tried. It's been done.
18:08
Speaker 1: The world leaders, every time Trump shows up just about anywhere,
18:12
Speaker 1: they couldn't be more than excited to have him there.
18:14
Speaker 1: And clearly, Trump has made it clear that trying to
18:19
Speaker 1: oppose him just for the sake of whatever reason somebody
18:21
Speaker 1: want to oppose him, it has detrimental consequences to your
18:24
Speaker 1: economy and other strategic partnerships. Now, I don't know why
18:27
Speaker 1: Carney thinks he can cozy up to China when China
18:30
Speaker 1: is You know, Xi Jinping is going to be in
18:32
Speaker 1: the United States next week. Trump is going to meet him.
18:34
Speaker 1: It was reported that Trump's going to meet him at
18:37
Speaker 1: Joint Base Andrews here in the United States. Clearly, Trump
18:41
Speaker 1: and China have a much bigger opportunity for trade deals
18:45
Speaker 1: than Carney could ever hope to have with China. So
18:47
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, this whole temper tantrum,
18:49
Speaker 1: this whole trying to push back against Trump to make
18:52
Speaker 1: a name for himself, going to cozy up, to Europe
18:54
Speaker 1: and become this associate member, whatever. It doesn't even exist, status.
18:58
Speaker 1: And somehow that's going to make Canadians more proud. The
19:01
Speaker 1: only thing that's going to make Canadians proud is a
19:03
Speaker 1: better trade deal with their closest trading partner. So all
19:06
Speaker 1: the rest of this is all ego. So how do
19:08
Speaker 1: the Canadian people feel about their prime minister flying around
19:12
Speaker 1: the world to boost his ego rather than making practical
19:16
Speaker 1: trade deals with the United States?
19:19
Speaker 5: Well, this is the worrying thing, Mr.
19:21
Speaker 6: Pollack.
19:21
Speaker 5: Last I checked with public opinion polling, 75% of Canadians
19:26
Speaker 5: want to do this.
19:27
Speaker 1: Again, why? Because Mr.
19:29
Speaker 5: Carney is someone who gained electoral success and became prime
19:33
Speaker 5: minister through anti-Trumpism and anti-Americanism. That's the excuse, the rhetorical
19:38
Speaker 5: excuse he's been using to push us towards China. And
19:41
Speaker 5: again- It's not even an economic issue. It's laughable for
19:45
Speaker 5: this very reason. Our friendship with the United States is
19:49
Speaker 5: a trillion dollars. friendship. Our friendship, in quotes, with the
19:53
Speaker 5: EU is a meager $ 100 million US. They are hardly comparable.
19:59
Speaker 5: But again, what is this really about?
20:02
Speaker 7: Well, the EU.
20:02
Speaker 5: Happens to have been identified by Mr. Peter Navarro as
20:06
Speaker 5: one of the greatest culprits of transshipment. So what we're
20:10
Speaker 5: seeing here is a kind of alliance of a Chinese
20:13
Speaker 5: black market in order to subvert and penetrate the American market.
20:18
Speaker 5: So what Mr. Carney, I believe, is up to is
20:21
Speaker 5: going through Europe and going through the EU and helping China, again, relabel, repackage,
20:27
Speaker 5: rename their goods and attempt to get them into the
20:30
Speaker 5: United States. We must remember, which Canadians love to forget,
20:34
Speaker 5: 80% of goods under China the USMCA or KUSMA, as
20:39
Speaker 5: we call it in Canada, are not tariffed. This is
20:42
Speaker 5: all an argument over 20% of goods. But if you
20:45
Speaker 5: were to ask Canadians, because of our state media firewall,
20:49
Speaker 5: they would be under the impression that we're being tariffed
20:52
Speaker 5: on 100% of our goods. So again, the most dangerous
20:56
Speaker 5: part about Mr. Carney is this. He is a true
20:59
Speaker 5: believer in the China project. He believes that the future
21:03
Speaker 5: belongs to Beijing. and he is actively betting against Western
21:07
Speaker 5: civilization and serving Canada on a platter to the CCP.
21:11
Speaker 5: He is nothing if not Canada last, and that's who's
21:14
Speaker 5: going to suffer.
21:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's, you know, socialists stick together, I guess,
21:19
Speaker 1: and China being the biggest socialist in the room. Why,
21:21
Speaker 1: you know, have a good relationship with your friends in
21:25
Speaker 1: the South that's democratic when you could just go make
21:27
Speaker 1: friends with socialists in China? So, look, it scares me
21:31
Speaker 1: that 75% of Canadians think this is a good idea.
21:34
Speaker 1: The spread of socialism is a dangerous thing. Dimpy, thank
21:37
Speaker 1: you so much for being here, as always. And I
21:39
Speaker 1: look forward to talking to you again real soon. Good
21:41
Speaker 1: luck north of the border.
21:42
Speaker 7: Thank you so much.
21:44
Speaker 5: Have a great day.
21:45
Speaker 1: You too. Coming up, the Kennedy Center, well, it's falling apart.
21:51
Speaker 1: President Trump has the money to fix it and a plan,
21:56
Speaker 1: and the left is fighting him at every step. Why
21:59
Speaker 1: they would rather let the Kennedy Center rot than let
22:02
Speaker 1: Trump get any credit. That's coming up next.
22:10
Speaker 4: For all of our viewers out there asking where to
22:12
Speaker 4: watch One America News, we'd like to introduce you to
22:15
Speaker 4: OAN Live. OAN Live is the best way to stay
22:18
Speaker 4: up to date on the hardest hitting news and our
22:20
Speaker 4: talk shows. And the best part is OAN Live is
22:23
Speaker 4: only $ 4. 99 per month. Credible, honest, and unbiased reporting at
22:28
Speaker 4: a fraction of the cost of cable. So just click

22:34
Speaker 4: to easily sign up for the news and conservative talk
22:37
Speaker 4: you can't get anywhere else.
22:46
Speaker 1: The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, one
22:49
Speaker 1: of the crown jewels of our nation's capital, well, it's
22:52
Speaker 1: falling apart, and that's not an opinion. It's the actual
22:57
Speaker 1: finding of the center's own board, which just voted unanimously
23:00
Speaker 1: to shut the building down, calling its financial and physical condition,
23:04
Speaker 1: in their word, dire. The place is literally crumbling. Now,
23:08
Speaker 1: there is a man with a plan to fix it,
23:11
Speaker 1: a builder named Donald Trump, As chairman of the Kennedy Center,
23:15
Speaker 1: the president has a nearly $ 300 million restoration on the
23:19
Speaker 1: table with $ 257 million of it already appropriated by Congress
23:24
Speaker 1: to rebuild the center into a world-class venue that it's
23:27
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Money is there. The plan is there.
23:30
Speaker 1: So why is the Kennedy Center sitting closed and dark
23:34
Speaker 1: with the ceiling crumbling down with a tarp hanging over
23:38
Speaker 1: its facade instead of being rebuilt? Well... That's because at
23:43
Speaker 1: every single turn, this president is being fought. A coalition
23:47
Speaker 1: of activist groups hauled the entire project into federal court,
23:51
Speaker 1: tying the renovation up in litigation in the name of preservation.
23:55
Speaker 1: And a federal judge has now ruled twice that the
23:57
Speaker 1: board is not even allowed to put the president's name
24:01
Speaker 1: on the building to recognize the man leading its restoration.
24:05
Speaker 1: They say Congress named it for John F. Kennedy, the
24:08
Speaker 1: judge says, and no one else. may be honored there,
24:12
Speaker 1: not even the person restoring it. And the president, well,
24:16
Speaker 1: he's drawn a line. He said plainly that he is
24:19
Speaker 1: not going to pour a monumental restoration into that building
24:23
Speaker 1: only to have a hostile court strip his name off
24:26
Speaker 1: of it. He's right. And this moves forward when the
24:30
Speaker 1: fight is settled. That's his position. And underneath all of this,
24:34
Speaker 1: The very same people who have spent years lecturing you
24:37
Speaker 1: that they are the great guardians of the arts, the
24:40
Speaker 1: protectors of our cultural institutions. Well, they'd rather watch the
24:45
Speaker 1: Kennedy Center crumble into the Potomac than let Donald Trump
24:49
Speaker 1: be the one who saves it. Because if he rebuilds it,
24:52
Speaker 1: he gets the credit. If he puts his name on it, well,
24:55
Speaker 1: to them, that is worse than letting it fall down.
24:59
Speaker 1: And my next guest has been watching this whole fight. Close-up.
25:02
Speaker 1: Bill Walton, thank you so much for being here, my friend.
25:05
Speaker 8: Um....
25:08
Speaker 1: We've seen this every time the president tries to restore something,
25:11
Speaker 1: do something, the left blocks it. They try to block
25:13
Speaker 1: the East wing renovation. They try to, they, they vandalize
25:17
Speaker 1: the reflection pool. I mean, literally everything they could do
25:20
Speaker 1: to stop the beautification of DC. And this is just
25:23
Speaker 1: the latest step now using the courts. What do you
25:25
Speaker 1: make of this?
25:27
Speaker 8: Well, you know, it's not about a renovation fight. It's
25:30
Speaker 8: about a name. And, and the name is Donald John Trump. And, uh,
25:37
Speaker 8: I voted for Donald three times and would vote for
25:39
Speaker 8: him again, but I don't think he's really handled this
25:42
Speaker 8: with kid gloves. I was president of the National Symphony
25:47
Speaker 8: Orchestra at the Kennedy Center and know a lot about
25:50
Speaker 8: the inside of the building and know a lot about
25:52
Speaker 8: the finances and know what kind of shape it's in.
25:54
Speaker 8: I also know who the donors are. And the donors
25:57
Speaker 8: to the Kennedy Center, when you get a Republican administration,
26:00
Speaker 8: you get some more Republicans. But generally speaking, it reflects
26:04
Speaker 8: the fact that Ninety five percent of D.C. voted for
26:08
Speaker 8: somebody else besides Donald Trump. And that's those are really
26:11
Speaker 8: the people who are insiders there. And then also, you know,
26:16
Speaker 8: the artist community, for all the reasons we know, they're
26:19
Speaker 8: not going to not going to come to a center
26:21
Speaker 8: named Trump because of blah, blah, blah. We've heard that
26:23
Speaker 8: that tired old thing. But it's it's it's an impasse
26:27
Speaker 8: that unfortunately is personal. And as a former M &
26:30
Speaker 8: A guy, I don't know quite how they resolve it.
26:33
Speaker 8: I mean, he's taken his position that unless his name
26:36
Speaker 8: is on it, he's not going to start the renovation.
26:40
Speaker 8: And they're taking the position that they're not going to
26:43
Speaker 8: do it. It would take a 60 vote majority in
26:46
Speaker 8: the Senate to get that done through Congress. That's not
26:50
Speaker 8: going to happen. So it's a standoff right now. And
26:54
Speaker 8: I'm not quite sure who's going to blink. I mean,
26:57
Speaker 8: for me, it's a very This is a tough one,
27:00
Speaker 8: because I fear, and if I were a betting man,
27:05
Speaker 8: I would think that the National Symphony Orchestra is going
27:08
Speaker 8: to disappear when they lose the Kennedy Center home, and
27:12
Speaker 8: also they're going on the road to smaller, to other theaters.
27:16
Speaker 8: But Kennedy Center provided about $ 10 million a year to
27:19
Speaker 8: the symphony, and without that subsidy, they can't meet payroll.
27:24
Speaker 8: And Basically, all a symphony orchestra is is musicians with
27:27
Speaker 8: a contract. And if you can't meet the terms of
27:30
Speaker 8: the contract, then I think we're going to see that go.
27:35
Speaker 8: Not only the Kennedy Center building is a problem, but
27:38
Speaker 8: that institution is in danger.
27:42
Speaker 1: Well, look, there's a group, an activist group. I think
27:45
Speaker 1: it's Tonight. They're going to form a human chain around
27:48
Speaker 1: the Kennedy Center. Have you seen this? I forget what
27:51
Speaker 1: the name of the group is. Yes. So now they're
27:53
Speaker 1: going to they're going to come out and they're going
27:55
Speaker 1: to put their hands around the Kennedy Center. They're basically
28:00
Speaker 1: saying that this is this is president can't do anything
28:02
Speaker 1: about it. And they're going to protest. I'll tell you
28:04
Speaker 1: what's interesting about this bill. It's that President Trump was
28:08
Speaker 1: seen on Air Force One. With a picture.
28:13
Speaker 8: I saw that.
28:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, you saw that in that picture. He was seen
28:16
Speaker 1: with that picture and it said the demolition of the
28:20
Speaker 1: Kennedy Center. This is an actually interesting twist. And of course,
28:24
Speaker 1: that wasn't leaked unintentionally because the Kennedy Center, if it
28:28
Speaker 1: can't be renamed and it's held up in court and
28:31
Speaker 1: it would take 60 votes, like you mentioned, in the
28:33
Speaker 1: Senate to get it renamed. Well, what's really interesting is
28:36
Speaker 1: what if the Kennedy Center has to be demolished because
28:38
Speaker 1: it can't be renovated and there's no money to restore it?
28:41
Speaker 1: What you rebuild in the footprint of the Kennedy Center
28:45
Speaker 1: can certainly be named the Trump Center. So what is
28:48
Speaker 1: the outcome if this thing ends up in a stalemate
28:51
Speaker 1: in court?
28:52
Speaker 3: Well, you could name it the Trump Library.
28:56
Speaker 8: Or you could put up something, you know, something even
28:59
Speaker 8: bigger than that.
28:59
Speaker 7: I don't know.
29:00
Speaker 3: It's really this is about ego.
29:03
Speaker 8: This is about Trump hatred. This is about Trump correctly
29:07
Speaker 8: assessing that the arts community has been absolutely hostile to
29:11
Speaker 8: him in every possible way. And so, you know, for him,
29:15
Speaker 8: it was payback time. He did this in the first
29:17
Speaker 8: month after he was inaugurated and removed the entire board,
29:22
Speaker 8: not the entire board, but most all the Democrats that
29:26
Speaker 8: weren't required to be on by, I think, a congressional mandate.
29:32
Speaker 8: So he's got a friendly board there, but they don't.
29:35
Speaker 8: They've been unable to get somebody to be executive director
29:38
Speaker 8: who knows much about the performing arts. arts, and the
29:42
Speaker 8: board doesn't. So maybe I'd be looking for a job.
29:47
Speaker 8: I think they need somebody who knows how to run
29:50
Speaker 8: a performing arts organization, because right now I don't see
29:55
Speaker 8: a line of action, and I fear that the symphony...
29:58
Speaker 8: without the subsidy from the Kennedy Center, won't be able
30:02
Speaker 8: to meet payroll. I think we're going to see a
30:06
Speaker 8: lot of violinists with their resumes on the street. This
30:13
Speaker 8: is one where I like lines of action. I say, okay,
30:18
Speaker 8: we can do this, that, and the other. About the
30:20
Speaker 8: only thing that I think might work is if Donald
30:24
Speaker 8: Trump makes a wise decision that maybe he doesn't need
30:28
Speaker 8: his name on the building. Maybe he needs his name
30:31
Speaker 8: someplace else, on a donor's wall, on a display that
30:36
Speaker 8: then thanks him for the work he's done in fixing it.
30:39
Speaker 8: And by the way, there was some stuff. There were
30:41
Speaker 8: a couple of additions to the Kennedy Center during Biden's
30:44
Speaker 8: administration that were terrible, terrible architecture. They're unusable spaces. So
30:50
Speaker 8: it's not exactly like the Kennedy Center was well run
30:52
Speaker 8: when he came in. It was just the opposite.
30:55
Speaker 1: Bill Walton, thank you so much for being here as always.
30:57
Speaker 1: Great takes on this.
30:58
Speaker 8: Great, thanks.
31:00
Speaker 1: When we come back, a story to restore your faith
31:06
Speaker 1: in humanity. A stolen Tesla barrels down a San Diego boardwalk,
31:12
Speaker 1: hits a woman, and one man chases the driver down,
31:16
Speaker 1: pins him down, holds him there for the police, and
31:19
Speaker 1: he captures the entire thing on his metaglasses. I have
31:23
Speaker 1: the Good Samaritan himself joining me right after this.

32:07
Speaker 1: Now I got a story for you tonight that's going
32:08
Speaker 1: to restore a little of your faith in people. Earlier
32:11
Speaker 1: this week, on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach in San Diego,
32:16
Speaker 1: a place packed with families, joggers, kids on bikes, people
32:19
Speaker 1: just ENJOYING A BEAUTIFUL DAY BY THE OCEAN, A MAN
32:23
Speaker 1: IN A STOLEN TESLA CAME BARRELING DOWN THE BOARDWALK AT
32:28
Speaker 1: HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HE HAD ALREADY RUN FROM THE POLICE. HE
32:32
Speaker 1: HAD ALREADY SMASHED HIS WAY THROUGH TRAFFIC AND SLAMMED INTO
32:36
Speaker 1: A POWER TRANSFORMER. AND THEN HE WAS TEARING DOWN A
32:40
Speaker 1: PEDESTRIAN BOARDWALK, STRIKING A 25-YEAR-OLD WOMAN, LEAVING HER CRITICALLY INJURED
32:44
Speaker 1: AND JUST BARELY MISSING HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEDESTRIANS AS THEY
32:48
Speaker 1: JUMPED OUT OF HIS WAY. Then he stopped the car,
32:52
Speaker 1: jumped out and ran. But he picked the wrong boardwalk
32:55
Speaker 1: because a man named Alex Rohr, who had just been
32:59
Speaker 1: nearly run down by that same Tesla himself. Well, he
33:03
Speaker 1: didn't look away. Instead, he took off after him. And
33:07
Speaker 1: here's the part that makes this story the perfect story.
33:10
Speaker 1: For the age we live in, Alex was wearing a
33:13
Speaker 1: pair of MetaSmart glasses with a camera built right into them.
33:17
Speaker 1: So as he chased this suspect down, tackled him, and
33:20
Speaker 1: pinned him to the ground until the police could get there,
33:23
Speaker 1: he captured the entire thing start to finish through his
33:25
Speaker 1: own eyes. Take a look. What the f * * *? Yo,
33:36
Speaker 1: get him! Get him! Get this f * * *
33:37

34:22
Speaker 7: STAY ON THE GROUND!
34:24
Speaker 1: NO! NO! A CITIZEN, JUST A GUY OUT FOR THE
34:29
Speaker 1: DAY WHO SAW SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENING AND HE DECIDED HE
34:32
Speaker 1: WASN'T GOING TO LET IT STAND. A CULTURE THAT CONSTANTLY
34:35
Speaker 1: TELLS YOU MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS TO KEEP PEOPLE'S HEADS DOWN.
34:38
Speaker 1: WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME. EVERYONE JUST STARING AT
34:40
Speaker 1: THEIR PHONE AND LOOKING ANOTHER WAY OR JUST WORSE RECORDING
34:42
Speaker 1: IT WHILE NOBODY DOES ANYTHING. This guy ran towards the danger,
34:47
Speaker 1: apprehended the man that critically injured a woman and almost
34:49
Speaker 1: killed hundreds of others. This is how heroes are born,
34:53
Speaker 1: and he joins me now with the story. So, Alex,
34:56
Speaker 1: what a story, because I live right near where this
34:59
Speaker 1: incident happened. I hang out at that bar sometimes where
35:03
Speaker 1: that car stopped, and I saw the video, and we
35:07
Speaker 1: were like, that's right there. So compelling to see what
35:09
Speaker 1: you did. Walk me through what happened, because... I mean,
35:13
Speaker 1: that's something that I just, you just don't see every day.
35:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, man.
35:16
Speaker 6: So like I was, you know, normal day after work,
35:20
Speaker 6: I was going on my bike ride, you know, to
35:23
Speaker 6: the beach on the boardwalk. And I'm like, just going
35:27
Speaker 6: my normal route. It's like my third time up and down.
35:30
Speaker 6: And I hear somebody behind me scream, watch out. And
35:33
Speaker 6: I hear a bunch of police sirens. So I'm like,
35:34
Speaker 6: what's going on? So I look behind me and there's
35:36
Speaker 6: just a Tesla just like flying on the boardwalk, like
35:40
Speaker 6: where cars are not even supposed to, you know, be at.
35:43
Speaker 6: And so like he, he, he hits my bike and
35:48
Speaker 6: it caused me to like fall to the side of
35:50
Speaker 6: the boardwalk.
35:52
Speaker 7: And then I'm like shocked.
35:54
Speaker 6: Like I'm thinking like, well, my mind's like full of
35:57
Speaker 6: a lot of stuff, but I was thinking like, do
35:59
Speaker 6: I chase this guy or do I not chase this guy?
36:02
Speaker 6: And then I guess, you know, I was scared and angry.
36:04
Speaker 6: So I started chasing him and thank God I had some,
36:06
Speaker 6: you know, really great people with me that came and
36:09
Speaker 6: chased him with me.
36:10
Speaker 3: And we went all the way.
36:13
Speaker 6: You know, probably like a quarter mile to like a
36:14
Speaker 6: parking lot, and that's where I pushed him, and then
36:16
Speaker 6: he fell to the ground. And that's where we held
36:19
Speaker 6: him down for three or four minutes until the police came,
36:23
Speaker 6: and that's where I was screaming at him the whole time.
36:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what's so compelling about that video, not only
36:29
Speaker 1: when you saw that Tesla fly by at the rate
36:30
Speaker 1: of speed, and it did, because there's a video from,
36:32
Speaker 1: I think, the ice cream shop when you see the
36:34
Speaker 1: Tesla just flying by, and you see people jumping out
36:37
Speaker 1: of the way. And for people who don't have never
36:39
Speaker 1: been on that boardwalk there in San Diego, that is
36:42
Speaker 1: it's always has people walking or biking, kids with strollers,
36:46
Speaker 1: people with dogs. I mean, and one woman was hit
36:49
Speaker 1: a 25 year old in critical condition. I don't know
36:50
Speaker 1: what her condition is now, but I can't believe for
36:54
Speaker 1: even a second that more people weren't struck by this vehicle.
36:57
Speaker 1: Thank God it was a Monday afternoon. Maybe it was
36:59
Speaker 1: a little bit slower. But when I saw you run
37:01
Speaker 1: after him and we first of all, I mean, it
37:04
Speaker 1: was just shocking to see it, but he ran fast.
37:06
Speaker 1: I see you run after him. And in my mind
37:08
Speaker 1: the whole time, I'm like, this guy just stole a car.
37:10
Speaker 1: What if he's armed? You didn't even flinch for a second.
37:12
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm chasing this guy down. I'm going to
37:14
Speaker 1: hold him down. And you told him, he's like, let
37:16
Speaker 1: me leave. I don't want to get arrested. And you're like,
37:17
Speaker 1: you're not going anywhere. My heart was racing watching that.
37:21
Speaker 1: Were you even thinking about the consequences of it? Or
37:23
Speaker 1: were you just so caught up in the moment, you're like,
37:26
Speaker 1: this guy is not leaving. I want this guy to
37:28
Speaker 1: pay for what he did.
37:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, I definitely thought he could have a gun or
37:33
Speaker 6: he was armed. But I saw him get out the
37:35
Speaker 6: car and he kind of just looked like... I don't know, he.
37:38
Speaker 1: Just didn't... He didn't look armed?
37:40
Speaker 6: He didn't look like he was armed or anything like that.
37:43
Speaker 6: And I guess I was just thinking in my head,
37:45
Speaker 6: I need to get this guy. He almost killed me.
37:47
Speaker 6: I was so angry and my adrenaline was pumping through me.
37:51
Speaker 6: I was saying stuff that I... Never really say, like,
37:54
Speaker 6: repeating the same stuff, but, like, hopefully people understand that, like,
37:57
Speaker 6: repeating the same stuff, that's because it's adrenaline, but.
38:01
Speaker 1: I mean, clearly, you were in the... I mean, you
38:03
Speaker 1: almost got run over. Then you chased the guy who
38:05
Speaker 1: could have been armed. So, yeah, I can understand you
38:07
Speaker 1: dropping a few F-bombs. I would have done the same thing.
38:11
Speaker 1: There's two really interesting things here, and you can see him.
38:13
Speaker 1: He was wearing an F-around-and-find-out shirt. Did you notice that?
38:16
Speaker 4: No.
38:17
Speaker 6: No, I didn't notice it until after the fact. It's
38:21
Speaker 6: the most ironic thing ever that he's wearing that shirt and.
38:23
Speaker 8: He did what he did.
38:24
Speaker 1: Well, and he found out.
38:25
Speaker 7: Oh, he definitely found out.
38:28
Speaker 3: He could have found out more.
38:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was actually surprising. A lot of people commented,
38:32
Speaker 1: I can't believe, People didn't jump on him, start hitting
38:35
Speaker 1: him or kicking him or assault him because he almost
38:38
Speaker 1: killed a lot of people. There were a lot of
38:39
Speaker 1: people upset. And yet everybody sort of came together and
38:43
Speaker 1: held and made sure he stayed. But now you held
38:44
Speaker 1: on top of him. He didn't try to leave. Did
38:46
Speaker 1: you get the sense at that point? He just kind
38:48
Speaker 1: of gave up and he said, I'm caught. And he
38:50
Speaker 1: didn't try to fight you because he didn't like he'd
38:52
Speaker 1: even try to get up. He just kind of laid there.
38:53
Speaker 7: Yeah. For sure.
38:55
Speaker 6: Like, maybe at the first minute he was trying to
38:57
Speaker 6: get up, but then after he noticed that, like, there
38:59
Speaker 6: was me and other people around me, too, he just
39:01
Speaker 6: didn't even try anymore. And I also was, like, I
39:03
Speaker 6: was putting a lot of pressure on his stomach the
39:04
Speaker 6: whole time with my knees, so he couldn't really move.
39:07
Speaker 1: Now, you know, you see stories like this all the time.
39:11
Speaker 1: I mean, people on trains or people in different places
39:13
Speaker 1: where they step up and they try to be a
39:16
Speaker 1: hero to really save some people. Did it go through
39:18
Speaker 1: your mind at any moment when you were holding him
39:20
Speaker 1: down that you can get in trouble for it, as
39:22
Speaker 1: ridiculous as that might sound, or it didn't matter?
39:25
Speaker 6: That's why i didn't hit him that's why i didn't
39:26
Speaker 6: hit him because like i was scared that i could
39:28
Speaker 6: get in trouble if i even slapped him like i
39:30
Speaker 6: wanted to slap him at least but i i didn't
39:33
Speaker 6: even want to touch him besides holding him down you know.
39:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that is why so many people are afraid
39:39
Speaker 1: to get involved these days because you hear stories about
39:41
Speaker 1: people stepping up and instead, you know, they're prosecuted for it.
39:47
Speaker 1: And so I'm glad you said, you know what, it
39:50
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I'm going to catch this guy because, you know,
39:52
Speaker 1: he could have got away. Three minutes, almost four minutes,
39:54
Speaker 1: you're holding him down. That must have seemed like an eternity, right?
39:57
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
39:58
Speaker 6: It felt so long, but I'm so glad that I
40:00
Speaker 6: have people with me because if it wasn't, if it
40:02
Speaker 6: was just me, I think he would have tried to
40:04
Speaker 6: fight his way out of it.
40:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was incredible. What has happened in the aftermath
40:10
Speaker 1: of that? Because I see that he was apprehended. He
40:11
Speaker 1: got arrested and all of that. But as far as you,
40:13
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen you on a couple of news
40:15
Speaker 1: networks now. I mean, what's happened to your life after
40:17
Speaker 1: becoming the hero of Pacific Beach and apprehending a fleeing felon?
40:23
Speaker 6: It's so weird because I'm getting so many messages and stuff,
40:27
Speaker 6: and I'm also getting noticed. I just went to the
40:29
Speaker 6: beach yesterday and the day before after. I still bike
40:33
Speaker 6: that path still to this day, and I'm still going.
40:36
Speaker 7: And people notice me.
40:37
Speaker 6: People recognize me, and it's.
40:38
Speaker 7: Kind of cool.
40:38
Speaker 6: I mean, I've gotten a lot of attention from this.
40:41
Speaker 6: I noticed that it's even going around the world. Other
40:44
Speaker 6: countries are even broadcasting it on their stations, so it's
40:47
Speaker 6: pretty cool.
40:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, you did a brave and heroic
40:51
Speaker 1: and incredible thing I hope people in Washington see what
40:55
Speaker 1: you did. And look, California is making a lot of news.
40:58
Speaker 1: There was those two lifeguards who rescued that boy. They
41:01
Speaker 1: were invited to the White House. Now you're chasing down
41:03
Speaker 1: felons and holding them down for police. I'm telling you,
41:06
Speaker 1: California is really becoming a state of heroes and certainly
41:10
Speaker 1: one of them. Alex, great job. Thank you for apprehending
41:13
Speaker 1: that guy so he couldn't go out and hurt more people.
41:15
Speaker 1: You saved lives that day and- It was really brave.
41:18
Speaker 1: And I'm glad you're wearing those meta glasses. What a
41:20
Speaker 1: world we live in. Congratulations on an incredible apprehension. And
41:24
Speaker 1: thanks again for your heroic work stopping that guy.
41:27
Speaker 3: Of course, man.
41:29
Speaker 7: Thank you.
41:30
Speaker 1: Thank you. Still ahead, it's Fired Up Friday. Mitch McConnell,
41:35
Speaker 1: he's back. But this week, fellow senators had to lean
41:38
Speaker 1: in and tell him how to vote. It's on tape.
41:42
Speaker 1: It really actually happened. And there's really, has there ever
41:44
Speaker 1: been a stronger case for term limits? I have Chad
41:47
Speaker 1: Caton on to talk about that right after this. Don't
41:49
Speaker 1: go anywhere.

42:21
Speaker 1: Talk you can't get anywhere else. Well, it is the
42:34
Speaker 1: end of a very interesting Newsweek, and One of the
42:37
Speaker 1: wildest stories of the week was the return of Mitch McConnell.
42:42
Speaker 1: For three months, Senator Mitch McConnell vanished, 92 days gone,
42:47
Speaker 1: after a fall at his home in June. His office
42:51
Speaker 1: said almost nothing and the country was left to wonder
42:53
Speaker 1: if he was even alive. Then on Monday, they wheeled
42:57
Speaker 1: him back onto the Senate floor, frail in a wheelchair,
43:00
Speaker 1: speaking slowly, if at all, very audible. TO THE REPORTERS
43:05
Speaker 1: WHO WERE CONVENIENTLY NOT ALLOWED TO FILM HIM. AND THEN,
43:07
Speaker 1: BY THE WAY, CAME WEDNESDAY. AND WEDNESDAY WE GOT TO
43:12
Speaker 1: SEE IT FOR OURSELVES IN A COMMITTEE HEARING ON THE
43:14
Speaker 1: FARM BILL. THEY WHEELED SENATOR MCCONNELL IN. AND WHEN THEY
43:18
Speaker 1: CALLED HIS NAME TO VOTE, HE FROZE. HE APPEARED CONFUSED.
43:23
Speaker 1: HE STARTED TO VOTE NO, WHICH WOULD HAVE HANDED THE
43:25
Speaker 1: WIND TO THE DEMOCRATS. AND THEN YOU COULD WATCH AS
43:29
Speaker 1: HIS PEOPLE RUN OVER AND KIND OF TELL A BIZARRE SCENE.
43:35
Speaker 1: REPUBLICAN SENATORS IN HIS OWN STEP, THEY LEANED IN AND
43:38
Speaker 1: WHISPERED TO CORRECT HIM. HOW IS THAT OKAY? THEY CALLED
43:42
Speaker 1: HIS NAME TWICE, BY THE WAY, AND FINALLY HE LIFTED
43:45
Speaker 1: THE FINGER AND SAID, AYE. HAD TO SHOW A SITTING
43:50
Speaker 1: SENATOR HOW TO VOTE. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW.
43:52
Speaker 1: AND THIS IS A MAN WHO HAS BEEN IN THE
43:54
Speaker 1: UNITED STATES SENATE FOR OVER 40 YEARS. HE SAT ON
43:57
Speaker 1: THE VERY COMMITTEE SINCE 1985, LONGER THAN SOME OF YOU
43:59
Speaker 1: HAVE BEEN ALIVE. And now he has to be told
44:03
Speaker 1: which way to push the button? Seriously? An 84-year-old man
44:07
Speaker 1: who disappeared for three months, who had to be prompted
44:10
Speaker 1: through a committee? HE'S HOLDING ONE OF A HUNDRED SEATS
44:14
Speaker 1: IN THE MOST POWERFUL LEGISLATIVE BODY ON EARTH. IT BEGS
44:17
Speaker 1: THE QUESTION, HAS THERE EVER BEEN A STRONGER CASE FOR
44:20
Speaker 1: TERM LIMITS THAN THIS? NOBODY I KNOW IS MORE FIRED
44:24
Speaker 1: UP ABOUT THIS THAN MY NEXT GUEST. This has been
44:34
Speaker 1: a weird week, right? McConnell's back good. He's voting Republican good.
44:37
Speaker 1: But it's not good that he actually doesn't know that
44:40
Speaker 1: he's voting. And how is this even OK? I don't know.
44:43
Speaker 7: This has been a weird year.
44:45
Speaker 9: I mean, at this point, I wake up every day
44:47
Speaker 9: and say, I wonder which stupid is going to slap
44:49
Speaker 9: me in the face today.
44:51
Speaker 7: Well, here we have it.
44:52
Speaker 9: And we have the Washington, D.C. pasture, as we're calling it,
44:56
Speaker 9: rolling out with nursemaids in hand. Here's a man that's
45:00
Speaker 9: been in Congress Senate for 41 years.
45:03
Speaker 1: Bummer. He's old.
45:04
Speaker 9: His teeth are gone. He can't walk. He doesn't hear anything.
45:08
Speaker 9: He doesn't even hear his name. And at the end
45:10
Speaker 9: of the day, we expect him to have some kind
45:11
Speaker 9: of virtuoso kind of vote in some concept of, of anything.
45:16
Speaker 7: It's really sad that we actually think this will happen.
45:19
Speaker 7: What's sadder.
45:20
Speaker 9: And you brought it up in your, in your open
45:22
Speaker 9: here is that we think we need term limits. I'm
45:27
Speaker 9: against term limits. And let me tell you why. We
45:30
Speaker 9: the people need to get off of our proverbial ass
45:33
Speaker 9: and do something. It's our fault that we have a
45:36
Speaker 9: Mitch McConnell sitting in the Senate right now. It's our
45:39
Speaker 9: fault that we have a feckless Republican Party. It's our
45:43
Speaker 9: fault that we don't play in the primaries. And what
45:45
Speaker 9: do we want to do because we've become millennials? Move
45:49
Speaker 9: the goalpost?
45:51
Speaker 7: No, sir.
45:52
Speaker 9: That's not something I'm for. At the end of the day,
45:55
Speaker 9: the American people need to do something. The American people
45:58
Speaker 9: need to take over their GOP. The American people need
46:01
Speaker 9: to go out and get behind a candidate.
46:04
Speaker 7: They need to be poll watchers.
46:06
Speaker 9: They need to go to holding their state election officials accountable.
46:12
Speaker 9: We want some arbitrary whip of a new law that says, okay, you.
46:17
Speaker 7: Can only do it for five years. This is the
46:19
Speaker 7: deep state.
46:20
Speaker 1: If you put.
46:21
Speaker 9: Whatever term limits you want in there, you basically turn
46:24
Speaker 9: the House into the Bush League and the Senate will
46:27
Speaker 9: be the kings of K Street.
46:29
Speaker 7: That's where the lobbyists live for those of you who
46:31
Speaker 7: aren't familiar with D.C.
46:33
Speaker 9: So at the end of the day, Mitch McConnell rolling
46:36
Speaker 9: around there in his Hot Wheels is a bad look.
46:39
Speaker 9: But you don't even know where Maxine Waters is. We
46:41
Speaker 9: hear she's got a bit of dementia. So I'm not
46:44
Speaker 9: even sure how many more Congress people or Senate that
46:47
Speaker 9: we have out there with the.
46:49
Speaker 7: Nursemaid in their office. But nonetheless, it's an ugly look.
46:52
Speaker 9: And it's an ugly look because the American people are
46:55
Speaker 9: apathetic to their politics, period.
46:57
Speaker 1: So you've said a lot, and there's a lot I
46:59
Speaker 1: want to break down with what you said. And I'm
47:03
Speaker 1: glad you laughed there because I never know if you're
47:05
Speaker 1: going to laugh or be angrier. So I'm glad laughter
47:08
Speaker 1: was the next emotion after that. So let's talk about
47:13
Speaker 1: term limits, right? Because I agree apathy is a problem.
47:16
Speaker 1: And if we had people less apathetic, it might be
47:19
Speaker 1: easier to replace some of these people when they disappoint us.
47:23
Speaker 1: And we wouldn't need the term limits, right, if people
47:25
Speaker 1: just showed up. But my counterargument to that would be this.
47:28
Speaker 1: Without term limits— These institutions of the politician, right, the
47:33
Speaker 1: enterprise of the politician, and that's what they're wheeling around
47:36
Speaker 1: in the Hot Wheels, as you refer to it as.
47:38
Speaker 1: It's not Mitch McConnell. He don't even know what he's voting.
47:40
Speaker 1: It's his people. It's his enterprise saying, no, no, we,
47:44
Speaker 1: this enterprise, vote yes here, Mitch. Whatever, I'm just here
47:48
Speaker 1: to vote. He is a vote. They're wheeling around a vote.
47:51
Speaker 1: But that vote is powerful because it's the deciding vote
47:55
Speaker 1: in some very close votes, right? But that's what they're
47:58
Speaker 1: wheeling around. And if he doesn't have the cognition to
48:01
Speaker 1: actually analyze what he's voting for, right, I mean, that
48:04
Speaker 1: shows a serious problem. But now Mitch McConnell is going
48:07
Speaker 1: to be gone anyway. He's not seeking reelection. That just
48:09
Speaker 1: doesn't apply here. But the way the enterprise of Mitch
48:12
Speaker 1: McConnell came to be, the power that that vote holds,
48:15
Speaker 1: when there's no term limit, what happens is, PEOPLE DON'T
48:19
Speaker 1: WANT TO VOTE AGAINST THEIR INTERESTS AND WE'VE SEEN THIS
48:21
Speaker 1: BEFORE IN CAMPAIGNS WHEN YOU'VE GOT A REALLY GOOD CHALLENGER
48:23
Speaker 1: TO A BOZO WHO SHOULDN'T BE IN OFFICE, EVERYBODY HOLDS
48:27
Speaker 1: THEIR SCARED MONEY AND SAYS, WELL, I'D LOVE TO HELP
48:29
Speaker 1: YOU HERE AND I REALLY DON'T LIKE THIS GUY BUT
48:31
Speaker 1: THE ODDS ARE HE'S GOING TO WIN AND I DON'T
48:33
Speaker 1: WANT TO RAISE MONEY AND VOTE AND ORGANIZE AGAINST A
48:36
Speaker 1: GUY WHO'S A SITTING CONGRESSMAN OR A SITTING SENATOR who
48:38
Speaker 1: can ruin my political life and my businesses and vote
48:41
Speaker 1: against me and just make my life difficult. And that's
48:43
Speaker 1: what the lack of term limits does. It creates these
48:46
Speaker 1: institutions and without the ability to say, okay, it's over
48:49
Speaker 1: after this, they can use all that power. And it
48:51
Speaker 1: really makes people afraid to run against these guys because
48:54
Speaker 1: we've seen, we've seen the PACs put in millions of
48:57
Speaker 1: dollars to support the candidates that are already in office.
48:59
Speaker 1: So wouldn't term limits fix this? No.
49:04
Speaker 7: Want me to go into soliloquy as to.
49:06
Speaker 9: Why all you're doing is moving the goalposts. You don't
49:12
Speaker 9: think that the deep state or whatever cool name you
49:15
Speaker 9: want to call them.
49:15
Speaker 7: Isn't going to figure out a way to Josh, the rules.
49:18
Speaker 1: They don't lose.
49:21
Speaker 9: The only way they lose is in our founding fathers
49:24
Speaker 9: had the foresight to understand it because they wrote it
49:26
Speaker 9: big damn letters at the top of the Constitution.
49:28
Speaker 1: We the people.
49:30
Speaker 7: And guess what?
49:31
Speaker 9: Everybody's losing their mind about Maria Salazar right now because
49:34
Speaker 9: she's a Republican saying that she wants illegal immigrants to
49:37
Speaker 9: become citizens.
49:38
Speaker 7: You know why she's doing that?
49:39
Speaker 9: She's in the most Hispanic district in the state. She's
49:44
Speaker 9: also got no fans behind that. And at the end
49:47
Speaker 9: of the day, the rest of the world's going out
49:49
Speaker 9: there saying, we've got to get rid of her.
49:50
Speaker 7: This is geopolitical politics. She has to say those things.
49:55
Speaker 9: Or maybe, just maybe, the Democratic Socialist, former CBS reporter,
50:01
Speaker 9: ends up becoming that congressperson. We don't pay attention to
50:05
Speaker 9: our politics, and we want to move the goalposts because we.
50:08
Speaker 7: Want to stay lazy. I'm tired of patting people on
50:11
Speaker 7: the head.
50:11
Speaker 9: Frankly, and that Maria Salazar, 8%.
50:15
Speaker 7: Of the Republicans in that district voted.
50:18
Speaker 1: 8%.
50:20
Speaker 7: And now that she's going out.
50:21
Speaker 9: There trying to pander to the left or the center
50:23
Speaker 9: or the Hispanics, we all want to burn her to
50:26
Speaker 9: the ground, and she votes 97% with Republicans. We have
50:33
Speaker 9: a math problem and a lazy problem. And basically all
50:37
Speaker 9: you have to do is find somebody to do some
50:40
Speaker 9: dirt and you have the one issue voter that will
50:43
Speaker 9: lose their mind and hand it over to the DSA.
50:47
Speaker 7: Term limits isn't the answer. Until we, the Republic, actually
50:51
Speaker 7: do our job... then I'll talk to you about term limits.
50:55
Speaker 7: And how are you going to do that?
50:56
Speaker 9: You're going to do COS and send these same feckless
50:58
Speaker 9: people and lock them in a room and say, change
51:00
Speaker 9: the constitution?
51:02
Speaker 1: Are you losing your mind, people? We're crying about how.
51:06
Speaker 7: These people act and now you want to go put
51:08
Speaker 7: them in a convention?
51:09
Speaker 1: Brilliant. So if I understand you correctly, what you're suggesting.
51:14
Speaker 7: I am fired up today.
51:16
Speaker 1: So if I understand you correctly, what you're saying is
51:18
Speaker 1: it wouldn't make a difference because, well, one, we wouldn't
51:21
Speaker 1: be able to get it done. But even if we
51:22
Speaker 1: could get it done, they'd come up with some way
51:24
Speaker 1: to rig the system where you still wouldn't be voted.
51:26
Speaker 1: That enterprise would still just pass on the torch to
51:29
Speaker 1: the next person they selected. And you're not going to
51:31
Speaker 1: have the power you want unless you actually get up
51:33
Speaker 1: and organize. And I think that's what I pulled away
51:35
Speaker 1: from you without a vein coming out of my own head.
51:38
Speaker 1: So let me.
51:39
Speaker 9: Last I heard it was 12 and 12 years in
51:42
Speaker 9: the House and eight years in the Senate and all
51:46
Speaker 9: those all those poor fellers down there in the Congress
51:49
Speaker 9: are going to be like, well, I guess I'm the
51:51
Speaker 9: heir apparent to the Senate.
51:53
Speaker 1: So and then I see how you would where that
51:56
Speaker 1: would occur. So last question in about a minute I
51:58
Speaker 1: have left is how do we fight this apathy, Chad? Because, look,
52:02
Speaker 1: you've seen it all over social media. People are like, oh, Republicans,
52:05
Speaker 1: by the way, are taking pictures of how much it
52:07
Speaker 1: costs to fill up their truck. They're like, this is awful.
52:10
Speaker 1: And you're like, what are you doing? So we should
52:12
Speaker 1: vote for Democrats. What is the point of you telling
52:15
Speaker 1: everybody how much you're paying for gas? Tell everybody how
52:17
Speaker 1: much you spend on going out and drinking or the
52:19
Speaker 1: fancy dinners or the iPhone 18 that people are lined
52:22
Speaker 1: up to buy. No, the only people want to tell
52:25
Speaker 1: everybody about is how much they're paying for gas. And
52:28
Speaker 1: I don't understand the logic behind that. And besides the
52:31
Speaker 1: people complaining about the war, people complaining about Epstein, people
52:33
Speaker 1: complaining about Tucker, people complaining about Kirk. I mean, our
52:36
Speaker 1: side can't get out of our own way about poking
52:38
Speaker 1: at each other about all the things we want to
52:39
Speaker 1: disagree about. So how do you fight this apathy when
52:42
Speaker 1: this is the world we live in, Chad?
52:44
Speaker 9: Well, the Republican Party has a message and a brand problem.
52:47
Speaker 9: Let's call a spade a spade, okay? You know, maybe
52:49
Speaker 9: they don't want to sit out there and have events
52:52
Speaker 9: where we have 30 different pastors from all over the
52:55
Speaker 9: world coming there and tell us where we're not doing
52:57
Speaker 9: our due diligence when evangelicals vote at 14%.
53:01
Speaker 7: I'm not patting anybody on the head anymore. You want
53:04
Speaker 7: to go out there, get involved in your GOP.
53:06
Speaker 9: You don't like your conservative or Republican Party, change your GOP.
53:10
Speaker 7: Do it at the local level.
53:12
Speaker 1: That's what a fired up Chad Caton will bring you, everybody.
53:14
Speaker 1: Chad Caton, thank you for bringing the heat on a Friday.
53:18
Speaker 1: And thank you for all the work you do out there.

53:23
