1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: Live from Vall Hartbeyer and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: Tony Katz Today. 3 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody too, our three of Tony Kats Today. 4 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 2: Tony is out. I am Kira Davis's filling in for 5 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 2: Tony Kats. Go buy my book Drawing Lines, Why Conservatives 6 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: must be in a battle fiercely in the arena of ideas. 7 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 2: It almost sounds quaint now. I wrote the book in 8 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. It's almost quaint because at that time 9 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 2: we had no idea what was on the horizon for 10 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. We hoped, but we had no idea. 11 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: And at the time I said, look, this is like 12 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: it's now, We're never time. If you're a conservative that's 13 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: sitting back going Look, I don't like getting uncomfortable, and 14 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: I don't like making people mad, and I just want 15 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: to love everyone, and I want to leave space, you know, 16 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 2: for people to work through their ideas. Like these are 17 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: the conversations I'm having with other mothers in my school 18 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 2: district when I was running for school board about the 19 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 2: trans issue. They didn't want to be mean, you know, 20 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: because their friend had a trans kid and they know 21 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: it's hard and you want to be mean, and the 22 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: book is really it is saying, look, if we don't 23 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: stand up for what is true and what is real 24 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 2: right now, we're going to lose. We're going to lose 25 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: our kids, We're going to lose this country, We're going 26 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: to lose the battle, and we will never get it back. 27 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: So that was twenty twenty two that I wrote that book, 28 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: and I think that a lot of the advice I 29 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: gave in that book has been taken. I'm not crediting 30 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: myself with the culture Shift. It's not a best selling 31 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: book yet, but you could make it a best selling book. 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: But I do think it's predictive. I'm very proud of 33 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: what I wrote in there because I think I was 34 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: giving a warning that was desperately needed, which is, if 35 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: we don't stand up now and start fighting for what's 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: right and what's true now, then we will lose forever. 37 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: I think I wanted to talk about, Oh, here we go, Yeah, 38 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: let's do this. I want to play this clip, this 39 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: from Secretary Sean Duffy, our Transportation Secretary. I would like 40 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 2: to take a moment to say this, Thank God for 41 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: Sean Duffy. I have had the extreme pleasure of appearing 42 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 2: on many shows over the years with him and with 43 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: his wife Rachel Campos Duffy, And it was a thrill 44 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 2: the first time I got to meet Sean Duffy when 45 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: he was Representative Duffy. That was a thrill because you know, 46 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: I'm gen X. How do I know Sean? I know 47 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 2: him from real world, same with his wife Rachel, that's 48 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 2: where they met. I know him from real world. So 49 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: it was so cool to meet a fellow gen xer 50 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: who went on to have a grown up job. You know, 51 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 2: nice guy. I mean, obviously we're not like best friends 52 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: or anything. We just worked together. But from what I 53 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: was able to tell, nice guy and I have been following. 54 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: I am signed up for the Department of Transportation email lists. 55 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: I don't know why. I think it was a Buddha 56 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: Judge thing when he first came in, and I just 57 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: never took myself off the list, so I get their 58 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: communications every day. It's been interesting because I can see 59 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 2: the difference between the Buddha Judge dot and the Duffy dot, 60 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 2: even in just the email, so you can see it. 61 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: All of Buddha Judge's emails, it was so insane. They 62 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: were all about trains and climate change. I swear to 63 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: you every email was about trains and climate change. It 64 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 2: was absolutely insane. And Duffy's emails are informative. A lot 65 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: of them are recruitment emails. By the way, if you 66 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: have a young person, a young adult who is maybe directionless, 67 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: not sure what they want to do, they are hiring 68 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: at the Department of Transportation. They are hiring. They are 69 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: actively advocating to train air traffic controllers, and ICE is 70 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: doing the same. There's a lot of opportunities to fill 71 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: these positions. So if you have young ones, younger ones, 72 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: maybe you look into those things. But Duffy showed up 73 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 2: at pen station to talk about not just making the 74 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: trains run on time, but making the clocks run on time, 75 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 2: and he spoke about why this was a problem. Let's 76 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 2: play this clip, Secretary Duffy, we spent the. 77 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 3: Trade ride up here, by the way, and he's walking 78 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 3: through all the things we're. 79 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: Gonna do and how we're gonna do it, and how 80 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna get. 81 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 3: Early deliverables, and then even on the way up, I'm 82 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,799 Speaker 3: sorry and I'm gonna give it to you in a second, 83 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,239 Speaker 3: or like, could we use some new paints even before 84 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 3: we get this new build going. Some new pain might 85 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 3: be nice. We're going up the escalator and he made 86 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 3: the point, He's like, are we late. It's like the 87 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: clock doesn't work as we're coming up the escalator. There's 88 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 3: some simple things we can do to serve people a 89 00:04:53,320 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 3: little bit better. Quick wins, make the clocks work, Make. 90 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: The clocks work. It's broken windows theory, right, And this 91 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: is what the Democrats is. Another lie, another crazy lie 92 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: that we've been baking in for years now. We know 93 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 2: it's crazy, but they keep saying it like it makes sense. 94 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: But their idea is like, no, if you prosecute smaller crimes, 95 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 2: you're making more crime. Right, the ideas you don't prosecute 96 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 2: the broken windows, and then people don't feel so scared 97 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 2: by the police, and then they don't commit crime. I 98 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 2: don't know, that's what I think. That's I think that's 99 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: their logic. And of course we know that's not true. 100 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: And if you've ever lived in a hood, as you 101 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 2: just heard me say, I lived in Gary, Indiana for 102 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 2: a decade, you know that's not true. 103 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 4: Right. 104 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: If a place looks clean and well kept and it 105 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: looks like people care about their neighborhood. You're less likely 106 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: to have people in there who don't care about your neighborhood. 107 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: You're less likely to have people less likely, not at 108 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: all likely, but less likely to have major crime game, 109 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: all of the same stuff that you might see in 110 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: other neighborhoods. And this is what I love about President Trump. 111 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,119 Speaker 2: He's a builder, right, he creates things. I've been reading 112 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: the Artic of the Deal. I finish it and if 113 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 2: you have not read it, please read it. If you 114 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 2: have any questions about how Trump does things, please read it. 115 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 2: It will explain everything. But the whole book it's just 116 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: basically a diary, and he talks about, you know, a 117 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: year in business for Donald Trump. He even goes through 118 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 2: a week of what my days are look like. At 119 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, I called this person. He makes a 120 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 2: lot of phone calls. By the way, this guy calls 121 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 2: a lot of people, and he has a lot of 122 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: stuff in his head. He'll call people just to say 123 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 2: happy birthday. It's good business. But in that in his 124 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 2: memoir he does talk about wanting to make things better, 125 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 2: wanting to His dad was in His dad built low 126 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 2: income housing. That's what his dad did. And he went 127 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 2: he learned from his dad, but he didn't want to 128 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: do low income housing and didn't like the way it looked, 129 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: you know, like that you had to do you had 130 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: to really stick to very low budget for aesthetics. He 131 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: thought that that was not how people should live. He 132 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: didn't like it. He thought people should live in dignity, 133 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: and the home that they live in should reflect their dignity. 134 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: His dad was the opposite. His dad was like, no, 135 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 2: you get it built, you get it done. It's for efficiency. 136 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: And Trump didn't like that. I think that's a very 137 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 2: humane way to look at it, actually, And so that's 138 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: why you see he's so audacious with his aesthetics. It's 139 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: not for me. I think it's you know, it's a 140 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: bit gaudy for my taste. But I understand what the robberies. 141 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: His idea is. I sorry about that. His idea is saying, look, 142 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 2: if it looks good, people will care about it. People 143 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 2: will care for it. And when you do the little things, 144 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: you show people that you care about. The big things, 145 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 2: you show people that they matter. Look, this happens in marriage, 146 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: right if you men, If you know, men are always wondering, 147 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: how do I, you know, make my wife feel better 148 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 2: or make her feel more romantic in the mood. In 149 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: any counsel or any therapist, any pastor will tell you 150 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: it's the little things. It's not the big things. The women, 151 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 2: you know, they might like a diamond ring. I like 152 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 2: a diamond ring, and they might like a diamond ring 153 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 2: or a new car. They might like the big fancy stuff, 154 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: but that is not what gets them excited for you. 155 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: It's the little things. Did you you know my father 156 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: in law when he's out, he'll stop by the side 157 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: of the road to pick wildflowers for his wife of 158 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: sixty five years. He does it often. It's the little things. 159 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 2: You do the dishes when you got home instead of 160 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 2: waiting for her to do it. Or did you remember 161 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 2: that she loves caramels. You put a caramel under her 162 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 2: pillow like it's the little things. You fixed the patio 163 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: door without having to be asked. It's the little things 164 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 2: that make a solid marriage. And it's the same way 165 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 2: when it comes to our communities and our government. When 166 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: the government's saying we don't care about what your communities 167 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 2: look like, we just want you to confirm these eighty genders. 168 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,719 Speaker 2: It says something when a president this is why he's 169 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: cleaning up DC. This is why he's fixing up the 170 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 2: White House. It says something to people. What your house 171 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: looks like. What your home looks like speaks about who 172 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: you are and the dignity that you should be represented 173 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 2: with and spoken to with. It represents the respect that 174 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 2: you command. George Washington wrote a book when he was fourteen. 175 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 2: It's I think it's called Rules for Living Right. I 176 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 2: can't think of it up the top of my head. 177 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 2: I'm not sitting in front of my bookshelf. I have 178 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 2: a copy, and it's really great. It's just almost like 179 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,599 Speaker 2: a pamphlet. It's basically just rules for civility. That's what 180 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 2: it's called, Rules for Civility. I think it's one hundred 181 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 2: and one rules. It's well worth the read. I love it. 182 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 2: I give it away. I buy it and give it 183 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: away a lot. But at fourteen he recognized the importance 184 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: of stack and spectacle, and he talks a lot about 185 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: how you conduct yourself. How does a respectful man dress, 186 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 2: how does he sit? How does he arrange the buttons 187 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 2: on his coat or his metals? How does he communicate? 188 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: You know, you don't speak over another, or you wait 189 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 2: until your guest is seated before you sit. These are 190 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 2: all things that are their signals. They're signals you're signaling 191 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 2: to people how to treat you. And unfortunately, in a 192 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 2: lot of America, the Democrats have condemned us to signal 193 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 2: to the rest of the world that we don't respect ourselves, 194 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 2: we don't respect our country, we don't have standards or values, 195 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 2: and we're not brave enough to defend our culture. And 196 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: that is what we have been putting out into the world. 197 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 2: So when President Trump says the clocks are not on time, 198 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 2: he's not saying I don't like it when the clocks 199 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 2: don't tell you what time it is. What he's saying 200 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 2: is we're better than this. And this is a country 201 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: where you should be able to walk through a place 202 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 2: like Penn Station. Have you ever been there? It's beautiful. 203 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 2: A historical place like Penn Station should look as grand 204 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 2: as it sounds, and you should be able to look 205 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: up and see the proper time when you're at a 206 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: freaking train station. It's the bare minimum of civility. But 207 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 2: if you start with the bare minimum of civility, you 208 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: will climb the ladder to true civility. We used to 209 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 2: here's another example. I'll give you this and then we'll 210 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: take it break real quick when we're flying, right. We 211 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: used to dress up to fly. It was a big deal. 212 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: I'm gen x, I'm fifty one. So when I was flying, 213 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: I used to fly alone a lot. My grand my 214 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 2: grandfather was a pilot, a commercial pilot. They lived in 215 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 2: a different I'm Canadian, they lived in a different province, 216 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: and I was the child of a single mom, so 217 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: she would always ship me there to you know, for 218 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: breaks and summer breaks and everything. So I flew a 219 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: lot alone. I did on a company minor starting from 220 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 2: the age of five, and then when I met my 221 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 2: father at the age of eleven and I started traveling 222 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: to the US. I also traveled on my own, so 223 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 2: have a lot of experience with flying in the eighties 224 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 2: and nineties, and I'm sure a lot of you remember. 225 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 2: We used to dress up. It was a special occasion. 226 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 2: My grandmother used to scold me if I wanted to 227 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 2: wear something comfortable on the plane, I had to wear 228 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: my Sunday best. That's how you looked, because it was 229 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: a privilege. It was a special occasion. Over the years, 230 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 2: flying has become horrible. I believe it started when Bush 231 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: forty three gave all the bailouts after nine to eleven 232 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: to the airlines, and we never stopped. We never stopped 233 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 2: doing bailouts, so they never had to please their customers. 234 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 2: Seats got smaller, flights got overbooked. It was just it. 235 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: You see the you know, God forbid you fly Spirit 236 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: or Frontier Airlines or something like that. You see the 237 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 2: spectacle that it's becommeon and people know it's horrible to fly. 238 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 2: It's not comfortable. It's expensive in the airlines to treat 239 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: you like crap, and that's how people dress. I don't 240 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 2: think it's our fault. I don't think is there I 241 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 2: try to dress up these days to fly. But I 242 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 2: don't blame anyone for being comfortable. It's a crappy experience 243 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 2: to fly unless you're privileged enough to fly first class. 244 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 2: So the way we were treated, right, we were not 245 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 2: treated with respect as consumers, and our government allowed that. 246 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: And so the response is to not treat ourselves with respect. 247 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 2: Does that make sense? So flying has become a complete 248 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: exercise in disrespect to ourselves to travel, you know, to 249 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 2: the national notion of having a functioning transportation system, because 250 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: we let go of the little things that showed the 251 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: customer that their respect, your meals, your free bag, your 252 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: overhead space, the reclining, whatever it is. You know, we 253 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 2: have we have removed all of the little things, or 254 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 2: they have removed all the little things that made the 255 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 2: consumer feel appreciated and wanted, and the consumer and respect it, 256 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 2: and the consumer responds with a lack of respect. If 257 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: we want to create a population of respectful Americans, we 258 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 2: must give them something to respect. I'm Kia Davis sitting 259 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 2: in for Tony Kats and you're listening to Tony Kats Today. 260 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: Welcome back everybody too, Tony Kats Today.

You've seen this, all right. Let me 276 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: break it down. Winsome Sears is black Republican. She's the 277 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: current Lieutenant governor of Virginia's very quickly ran alongside Glenn 278 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 2: Younkin and just really a great woman. And isn't that 279 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 2: the best name you've ever heard in your life for 280 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 2: a politician? Winsome Sears. My goodness, I wish I had 281 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: heard of her when I was pregnant with my daughter. 282 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: She would be Winsome, not Ruby, just beautiful like a 283 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 2: pr machine's dream. Anyway, as you well know, there's a 284 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: transgender battle still going on in where else, Loudon County, 285 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 2: and so she showed up at the school board meeting 286 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: the other night to speak on behalf of women and 287 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 2: children and reality and of course the godless hippie lonely 288 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 2: boomers who have nothing better to do than to try 289 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 2: to relive their glory years back when they actually did 290 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 2: things that had meaning. They they show up to protest 291 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 2: the black woman there to protect children, and some white 292 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 2: lady genius comes with her sign that this holding it 293 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: up proudly in rainbow colors, just astounding, holding it up proudly. 294 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 2: She holds up this sign that says, hey, Winsome. 295 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: If. 296 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 2: Trans can't use your bathrooms, then blacks can't drink at 297 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 2: my water fountains. This is a liberal woman who thought 298 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 2: this was like a very clever thing to put on 299 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 2: a sign and take to a protest against a black woman. 300 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 2: And there's even more delicious juicy footage. I hope you've 301 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 2: seen that where at some point a gentleman and another 302 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 2: older gentleman, because these are all boomers, another older gentleman 303 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: comes up to her and says, your sign is making 304 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 2: a lot of noise on social media. And for a 305 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 2: split second, you know, she grins like she's like, oh, 306 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 2: you know, like, yes, I did it, and then he goes, no, 307 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,239 Speaker 2: not in a good way. It's negative. She just and 308 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 2: she sheepishly folds the sign like, oh, I didn't think 309 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 2: about that. Of course, these people never think about it. 310 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 2: It's all projection and they are so convinced. This is 311 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 2: what happens when you don't allow healthy discourse, which is 312 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 2: not been allowed in this country for the last four 313 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 2: to five years. They become these people become so convinced 314 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 2: of the truth and so convinced of the righteousness of 315 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 2: their true that they all bets are off. It's okay 316 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 2: for them to be racist. It's okay for them to 317 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 2: be violent. It's okay for them to key your tesla 318 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: or bomb your church. It's okay. It's okay for them 319 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 2: to deface government property, to deface historical statues, because it's 320 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 2: in the name of justice. This righteousness, well, this late 321 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 2: it causes splash. And now comes the news that the 322 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 2: co founder of Black Entertainment Television b ET, Robert Johnson, 323 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 2: has donated five hundred thousand dollars to the Winsome Seres 324 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 2: campaign for governor. He said, he was so appalled by 325 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 2: that racist Dya tribe that I choose to show the 326 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 2: voters in Virginia how black brothers stand up to defend 327 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 2: and support their black sisters. So that idiot white lady 328 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 2: who who is so emotionally unstable, who has so little 329 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 2: control over her emotions, or her expressions. She couldn't help herself. 330 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 2: She had to post that sign that progressive white racist 331 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 2: just earned win some seers a half a million dollars 332 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 2: and maybe the governorship of Virginia. We're winning, don't you 333 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: think otherwise. I'm Kia Davis sitting here for Tony Katz, 334 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 2: and this is Tony Katz Today. Welcome everybody, Welcome back 335 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 2: to Tony Katz. Today is the drum beat of revolution. 336 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 2: Do you feel it? 337 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: Man? 338 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 2: Listen, I'm in California and it is still crazy here. 339 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 2: It is still very painful living here. I'm not gonna lie, 340 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 2: but I have never felt more hopeful about the future ever. 341 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 2: And if we end up losing it all, you know, 342 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: after Donald Trump goes away, then hell, I am going 343 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 2: to live every moment of this for as long as 344 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 2: I can. I feel very strongly that this is the 345 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 2: golden age of America and common sense is going to 346 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 2: make a return. But it's going to have to include you. 347 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 2: We're going to have to say the things that we 348 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 2: haven't been allowed to say. We're gonna have to be 349 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 2: brave enough to say them in the spaces where they're 350 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 2: not necessarily welcome. We were talking during the break Land 351 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 2: and was saying about that lady, that white lady with 352 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 2: the sign, like did not of all the people that 353 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 2: that sign went through right like as she she had 354 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 2: to make it. She clearly it was a handmade sign. 355 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: It was one of those Antifa prefat signs. She had 356 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 2: to make it. Somebody helped her. She probably rode to 357 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 2: the event with multiple people. She was organized, so she 358 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 2: was in a group. So dozens, if not hundreds of 359 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 2: people saw this sign before she even got to the cameras, 360 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 2: and not a single person said maybe maybe you should 361 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 2: think about this. He said, that's what I can't believe. 362 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 2: And I said, yeah, I've been thinking a lot about this, 363 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 2: and I think the reason is for kind of what 364 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 2: I was saying before the break which is like these 365 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 2: people believe they're on the side of righteousness. No one 366 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: thought that sign was a bad idea, because no one 367 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 2: thinks the ideas are bad. They swear they're on the 368 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 2: side of the angels. They think they're the righteous ones 369 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 2: and everything they does do has good intentions, so it 370 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 2: justifies whatever they This is what I would saying. If 371 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 2: you go back and listen to my podcast, just listen 372 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 2: to yourself, which is on hiatus right now. But I 373 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: think it's a very fascinating. It would be a very 374 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: fascinating experiment for you to go through the archives because 375 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 2: I was podcasting all through Black Lives Matter and COVID, 376 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 2: and that was a time when when conservatives were grossly 377 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 2: out of power. We had no voices, we were getting censored. 378 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 2: A lot of those shows are censored still. But I 379 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 2: talked about how I was. I was telling people like, 380 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 2: you have to this is I was. I really addressed 381 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 2: it to liberals, and I was saying, liberals, listen to me. 382 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 2: If you go down this road, then it's going to 383 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 2: justify all manner of violence because you're you're saying, if 384 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 2: you call us Nazis and you say we're evil, then 385 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 2: of course you should. You should do everything you can 386 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 2: to get rid of evil. And we saw that during 387 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 2: the Tesla melt down. Remember that that was like five 388 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 2: crisises ago. But the Tesla melt downs where we would 389 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 2: see these boomer weirdos, there are always the same people 390 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 2: that look like my mom. To be honest, my mom's 391 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 2: a white liberal boomer. People look like my mom. Sorry, Mom, 392 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 2: it's true. She's got the hair cut and everything. You 393 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 2: know they're they're keying teslas, they're lighting them on fire. 394 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 2: But it was always interesting to see when they would 395 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 2: get caught, right, either the cops would come arrest them 396 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 2: or someone was there with a camera. And when they 397 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 2: would get caught, they would turn into children, Like they 398 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 2: would turn into five year olds, would look like my 399 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: children when I caught them eating cookies before dinner. Right, 400 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 2: you guys know what I'm talking about. I know you 401 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 2: can envision it in your mind. I'm thinking of one 402 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 2: guy in particular, suit. He was really brave when he 403 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 2: was keying the tesla, like screw Lelon and screw the Nazis. 404 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 2: And as soon as he got caught, and now, sir, 405 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 2: you're getting charged with vandalism. I didn't, that wasn't I 406 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 2: just I didn't mean to cause trouble. I wasn't hurting anyone. 407 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 2: I just want to make a point. Right, all of 408 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 2: a sudden, they're like, but I didn't meet mom. I didn't. 409 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 2: I was just hungry. I didn't mean to take the cookie, 410 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 2: even no, you told me not to take the cookie. 411 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 2: That's how they that they turn into children because they 412 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 2: are children. Do you understand what we have done to 413 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 2: multiple generations in this country. Let me tell you something. 414 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: And I'm not just saying this because I'm gen X, because, 415 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: honest to God, before this moment in time, I'm I 416 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 2: never understood the gen X commentary. Gen X is the 417 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: is the generation of leave us alone. To me, I 418 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: was always like, what whatever, I don't care? Who cares? 419 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 2: I didn't. I'm not understanding that that is a gen 420 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 2: X response. And you can tell it's different because I 421 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 2: always expect that from the boomers when I talk about boomers, 422 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 2: I always expect that the boomers understand who I'm talking about, right, 423 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 2: the progressive lunatics. But no, every boomer, like you can 424 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 2: go to my timeline right now and there's friendlies on 425 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: there going. It's not all boomers, Kira, Like boomers take 426 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 2: offense at everything that's their culture, right, I didn't understand 427 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 2: that this is my culture. So I'm not just saying 428 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 2: this because I'm gen X. I'm saying this because I 429 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 2: think it's the truth. Thank God, the boomers are so 430 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 2: mean to us. We're going to be the people that 431 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 2: save this country. Not because we're better than everyone and 432 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 2: smarter than everyone. We might be, but that's not why. 433 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 2: It's because we had to raise ourselves. So we've been 434 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 2: they called They also call us the Sandwich generation. Right 435 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 2: where sandwich in between these very needy millennials and these 436 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 2: very needy boomers, and then the millennials have created gen Z, 437 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 2: the millennials and the liberal gen xers. Let's put blame 438 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 2: where blame is due. The hallmark of all those generations 439 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 2: is childishness. It's second childhood. That's the hallmark of it. 440 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 2: That's why everything seems so crazy, That's why everything seems 441 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 2: to be evolving into childish levels of expression. What that 442 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 2: LGBTQ plus all the other letters flag It used to 443 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 2: be just a rainbow. Well that was just a direct 444 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 2: poke in the eye to God. All right, fine, Christians 445 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 2: took it, We ate it. We know the truth is 446 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 2: the truth. But then it evolved into this mess, this 447 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 2: chaotic mess of symbols and colors and characters, and it's ridiculous. 448 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: They're still adding to it. I think there's a circle 449 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 2: on there now, and then I saw trying and they've 450 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 2: added some new different shades of brown. It's it's absolute chaos. 451 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 2: It's absolute insanity. It's what a child would draw if 452 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 2: you said, draw me a flag that represents all your 453 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 2: favorite people. It's what a child would draw. I saw 454 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 2: a video yesterday of the boomer set in Michigan, or 455 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 2: Michigan or Massachusetts, lying over a rainbow crosswalk they're trying 456 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: to get rid of. I think maybe it was in Florida. 457 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 2: They were taking out the rainbow crosswalks. You're not supposed 458 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 2: to have rainbow crosswalks. They're taking them out lying down. 459 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 2: God knows how long it took them to get on 460 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 2: the ground, let alone how long it's going to take 461 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 2: them to get off. There were literally people with walkers here, 462 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 2: lying on the ground like children having a tantrum. You 463 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 2: see the same people in the climate protest where you 464 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: saw them even in the ice protests. Right, they sit 465 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 2: in front of the cars. The car runs them over 466 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 2: and they go, oh my god, how could you do that? Childish? 467 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,239 Speaker 2: Why do all their uniforms look so childish? Right? They 468 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 2: got crazy color hair, the blues, the purples, the greens. 469 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 2: They got septum rings, they're decorating their faces, they've got 470 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 2: weird makeup. My son's got his best friend whom I 471 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 2: loved to death. I love you so much, girl, but 472 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 2: she does this right. It's this clown makeup. But it's childish, 473 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 2: it's childish expression. Doctor Jordan Peterson addresses this in a 474 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 2: lot of his commentary, but what he says is that 475 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 2: imagination is the playground of childhood, and so that's why 476 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 2: when you were a kid, gen X, I know I did. 477 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 2: I had a dress up box, right. It was all 478 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 2: like crazy fun silly dresses and hats my mom might 479 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 2: pick up at the thrift shop, or old cast offs 480 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 2: for my grandma, or boys. You went out and played 481 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: cops and robbers. We didn't have social media, we didn't 482 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 2: even barely have TV. So you went out and did 483 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 2: stuff and you made your own fun, You played your 484 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 2: own games. That is the necessity of boredom. It creates imagination, 485 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 2: and imagination is what you need to push you through 486 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 2: your childhood, and then imagination develops into ideas. Well, we've 487 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 2: now raised, we're going on multiple generations. We've raised with 488 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 2: no imagination because they have not had to form anything 489 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 2: in their own minds. They have social media to replace 490 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 2: every second of boredom. They have parents who have become 491 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: entertainment managers instead of disciplinarians, and parents multiple formats of 492 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: entertainment TV movies, streaming, audio, video podcasts. There is one 493 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 2: second of their day that isn't filled with stimulation. They 494 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 2: have not been forced to develop their imaginations. So what 495 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 2: do they do when they get to adulthood. They live 496 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 2: their second childhood. And that's what you're seeing, That's what 497 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 2: gen Z is doing. That's what you're seeing in the boomers. 498 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 2: And I can't speak to why their imaginations were lost. 499 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 2: I don't know what that's about. I'm going to write 500 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 2: a book about it and I'll explore it. But even 501 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 2: to a certain extent among millennials, although they had the 502 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 2: privilege of being on the cusp of that social media 503 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: revolution and so but even still, there were a lot 504 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: of those kids whose spare time was filled with activity, sports, 505 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 2: extracurricular activities, making them the smartest smart person of all 506 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 2: the smart people in the world, so that they can 507 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 2: go to Harvard, Stanford, play on their travel teams. So 508 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: it was the same result, you know, anxiety, inflated egos, 509 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff, and needing a second childhood, 510 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 2: which is why a lot of millennial branding seem so immature. 511 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 2: That's my take on it. I don't know. Hit me 512 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: on up on ax or Facebook and let me know 513 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 2: how you feel about it. Let's take a break. When 514 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 2: we come back, well, we'll talk about more stuff. I've 515 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 2: got a couple of stories I want to tell you about, 516 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 2: including an interesting report by one of our nemesis on 517 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 2: the left, Taylor Lorenz. But it is an interesting report 518 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 2: on how Democrats are paying influencers. Don't go anywhere. I'm 519 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 2: Cura Davis sitting up for Tony Kats and you're listening 520 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 2: to Tony Kats today. Oh yeah, I'm glad you guys 521 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 2: can't see me. I glad you guys cannot see me. 522 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 2: I'm rocking and I got my my mean mug rock 523 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 2: face on this song still slaps. Let me tell you 524 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 2: a little story real quick. When I first moved to California, 525 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 2: I got in with the Hollywood Republican Group and that 526 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 2: got me an invitation along with others. I think even 527 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 2: Tony may have done this to the annual holiday party 528 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 2: for Happy Madison, which is Adam Sandler's production company. It's 529 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 2: complicated story as to how people like me got there, 530 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 2: but we were invited and it was a closed party, no 531 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 2: cell phone, so it was always really fun and I 532 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: just I didn't really know anyone there and just do 533 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 2: a lot of people watching. And Adam did not mingle. 534 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 2: He would play on the stage with his band. He 535 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 2: plays bass. He's want to be rock star and he 536 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 2: doesn't want to socialize, so he just bites random rock 537 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,719 Speaker 2: stars and artists up and the most random people come 538 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 2: up and that's all. They stay up there all night. 539 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 2: I mean the place he used to have it at 540 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 2: was like it was a compound. There were multiple places 541 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 2: to go, a skating rink, a roller rink, arcade, tons 542 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 2: of stuff to do. And this guy, Adam Sandler, you know, 543 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 2: I go to the stage to see what's up, and 544 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 2: who does he bring up but lover Boy, the lead 545 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 2: singer I can't remember his name, Mike something brings them 546 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 2: up and they sing this song, and let me tell you, 547 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 2: he sounded amazing, like he hadn't lost his step. He 548 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 2: looked different, he looked like an aging rock star from 549 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 2: the eighties, but he sounded so smooth. I'll never forget 550 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 2: that performance. They rocked the house. And also Vanilla Ice 551 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 2: showed up to that party as well, and he did 552 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 2: he was great. He was great. Flavor Flave actually came 553 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 2: out randomly. I didn't even know that guy was at 554 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 2: the party, came out and start playing drums for Vanilla Ice. 555 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 2: My life is so crazy. All right, let's I don't 556 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 2: want to let you guys go without playing this monologue 557 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 2: from Greg guttfeld on the shooting. I think it's a 558 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 2: great way to end the show, and I think it 559 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 2: is a great I think it encapsulates everything we've been 560 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 2: talking about about how this Minnesota shooting is really laying 561 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 2: bare the real problems that America is dealing with and 562 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 2: why we are here and it's not the guns. Go 563 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 2: ahead and play the Gutfeldt monologue last night. 564 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 4: Yes, this is why none of these a holes can 565 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 4: lecture anyone on compassion. 566 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 2: The most compassionate. 567 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 4: People on this planet are trying to stop the trans delusion. 568 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 4: The least compassionate are the people in the media, academia, 569 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 4: and politicians who enabled this hysteria of horror. What is 570 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 4: so glaring about the trans cult? Apparently your identity is 571 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 4: the only thing that matters until you do something awful. 572 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 4: Then it's the least important variable. Then you look at 573 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 4: everything else. You talk about guns, but you suddenly it's 574 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, like, oh, we can't talk about that. 575 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: What was it the. 576 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 4: Other trans shooter that. 577 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 2: They actually hid her identity. 578 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 4: In this manifesto that this creep wrote, he said he 579 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 4: was tired of being trans and that he had wished 580 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 4: he had never brainwashed himself. 581 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 2: What more do you need? 582 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 4: Straight from the monster's mouth, Politicians, activists, teachers, you built this. 583 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 2: You could have listened to. 584 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 4: The warnings we were talking about this on this show 585 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 4: for years. You amplify to hysterical, a hysterical literally hysterical 586 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 4: phenomenon that was going no place good. You created a 587 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 4: poisonous program that twisted young minds for destruction, a nihilistic 588 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 4: place to be when you deny biology, and they have 589 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 4: nowhere to go. So all of these media arguments, what 590 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,719 Speaker 4: you're seeing there among those people is to escape their 591 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 4: own culpability and the reality that they created. 592 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 2: So forget the layer of mental illness and gun control. 593 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 2: The origin of the evil. 594 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 4: The evil lies in the creation of a mindset that 595 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 4: indulged a delusional self ruining connections with fellow human beings, 596 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:17,280 Speaker 4: so that trans by ascribing extreme aggrieved mentality, then gets 597 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 4: directed against society. So this person feels justified in killing children. 598 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 4: His killing resulted from that ideology. 599 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 2: I couldn't have said it better myself, although I did try. 600 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 2: If you go over to my Instagram, you'll you'll see 601 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 2: I'm not going to play the audio for you, but 602 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 2: if you go over to my Instagram, it's just here 603 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:43,359 Speaker 2: Davis Jost here Davis, you'll see I did a video. 604 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 2: I was on my walk yesterday and I did a 605 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 2: video and that's kind of the same thing I said. 606 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 2: I didn't have time because of social media to expound 607 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 2: on the idea. Yeah. The idea is that when we 608 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 2: allow people to live in their delusions, and we encourage 609 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 2: those delusions, then we encourage them acting out when the 610 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 2: rest of the world can't confirm those delusions. Well, I 611 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 2: hope you have a great weekend. Thanks for hanging out 612 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 2: with me today, Tony, be back next week.
