1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Live from Vall Hartbeiner and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. 3 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: Welcome back everybody to Tony Kats Today, Monday, August twenty fifth, 4 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: Tony Kats is out. I'm your guest host, Kira David's, 5 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 2: author of Drawing Lines, Why Conservatives must begin to battle 6 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: fiercely in the Arena of Ideas. You can find that 7 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 2: book on Amazon, endorsed by our great have you bought 8 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 2: FBIWD director Dan Bongino when he was just a humble 9 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 2: radio host like me, But yeah, go find that. Well. 10 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: We've been talking about the flag burning executive order, the 11 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: ban on that it's not a full ban. I've been 12 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: breaking it down and I promise you'll get to some 13 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 2: California stuff and I'm going too. But I've been perusing 14 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: social media in the breaks, and I think we're going 15 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 2: to be talking about this flag burning thing for a 16 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: minute now. The news cycle moves quickly, so who knows 17 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 2: how long it'll last. Thank god, the Sydney Sweeney thing 18 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 2: is over. We were a week into that and I 19 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: was like, look, I'm having a as good a time 20 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: talking about this as anyone, but come on, we need 21 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: to move on. But I think the reason why that 22 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: stayed so long, relatively speaking, in the cultural news cycle 23 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: is is it's a sign of something bigger. All of 24 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 2: this is a sign of something bigger. So a lot 25 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 2: of people are bad, mostly conservatives, batting this flag burning band. 26 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: I'm using that in air quotes. It's not a ban 27 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: back and forth. But there are a lot of people 28 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: pointing out, you know what, there are folks who are 29 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: in prison right now for quote desecrating LGBTQ pride flags 30 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: or crosswalks in Long Beach. Long Beach is really gay 31 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: city here in California. Like I mean that literally, it's 32 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: a gay city. They pride themselves in that, and they 33 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: have prosecuted people for just screeching their tires over those things. 34 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 2: So here's a post from Sean Davis of the Federalists. 35 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 2: He says, when every single city, state, and federal jurisdiction 36 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: which investigated or charged or imprisoned someone for burning or 37 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: defacing or giving a dirty look to a rainbow flag 38 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: amidst wrongdoing and pays restitution to its victims, we can 39 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: have a discussion about whether burning an American flag is 40 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: quote free speech. You know what. Maybe the reason why 41 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 2: This isn't just going away, as we do need to 42 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: have this discussion. We do need to talk about it. 43 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: I give a speech. I talk to local Republican clubs 44 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: all up and down the state of California. It's one 45 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: of my side gigs, and the speech that I'm currently 46 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 2: giving right now is on the important of the education 47 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: battle and how I think that the smaller Republican clubs 48 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 2: and organizations, not necessarily the party, although they could, but 49 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: everybody need people where they are and their local politics 50 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 2: should be focusing on education. You should be adopting candidates 51 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: for school board. You should be grooming them. You should 52 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: be grooming them years in advance. A lot of those 53 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: people will go on to become bigger political leaders in 54 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 2: bigger positions, so we should be grooming them. The unions 55 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: already do this. We should be doing it. But one 56 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: of the things I say is we need if we're 57 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: not going to destroy the public school system, and I 58 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: don't think that's going to happen anytime soon, then we 59 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: need to wrestle it back. We need to control it 60 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 2: because the Left has been educating our students for fifty years, 61 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: and they have been educating them in anti American sediment. 62 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: So when you see anti semitism on our college campuses, 63 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: when you see these ridiculous protests and all of this 64 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: insanity going on in our city, is a large chunk 65 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: of that is due to the fact that we have 66 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: not been educating patriots. We do not have an electorate 67 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: that has been raised to honor and value America above 68 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 2: all other nations. That isn't It's lunacy to educate your 69 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: population to hate your own country. Do you understand that's lunacy. 70 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 2: We have been educating lunatics for fifty years and we 71 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 2: are paying the price for it now. So now we 72 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: have to re educate. And I think, look, making burning 73 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: flags distasteful and possibly punishable by law isn't just about 74 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: just like sticking it to the Libs. That's not what 75 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: it's about. It's about creating an atmosphere that creates patriots. 76 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 2: You have to foster that. That's not automatic. It doesn't 77 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: happen on its own. As we have found out the 78 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: very hard way. Freedom doesn't sell itself. It needs salesman, 79 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 2: and we have had no one on the field to 80 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: bix metaphors. We've had no one on the field for 81 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 2: years and years and years, so we I think we 82 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: do need to have a discussion to but I frankly 83 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: think it should be illegal. I'll just say I think 84 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: it should be illegal to burn the flag. I don't 85 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: see it as protected speech, just the same way as 86 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: Sean Davis points out it's been made illegal to desecrate 87 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 2: other types of symbols in public. I think those things 88 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 2: should be illegal because it says something about us when 89 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: we value the symbols of our nation. And I don't 90 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: think that it I think the original decision was wrong. 91 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: If you ask me, I think it was wrong. So 92 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 2: this is about this is a broken windows thing. We 93 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 2: talked about it last hour, and we've been under assault 94 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 2: in so many different ways. I do want to talk 95 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: about the American cities and what's going on around the nation, 96 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 2: but I also want to let you know what's going 97 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: on here in California. But I think i'll do that 98 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 2: in the next half hour because right now I want 99 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 2: to play for you a clip. This is al al Sharpton. 100 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: I almost called him Al Trump. I want to play 101 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 2: this clip, Al Sharpton. He's talking about Donald Trump. I 102 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: got something to say about this. He's talking about Donald 103 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: Trump and this push to wrestle back our American cities, 104 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: and he's doing the Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson also pointed 105 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: this out, Brandon Johnson, that's quite an American name for 106 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 2: such a communist. Brandon Johnson has also said the same thing. 107 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: A black mayor, and he's got a problem with the 108 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: types of cities Trump is going after. Let's play this 109 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 2: clip from Al Sharpton. 110 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: It's got a lot talking about how I've condemned the 111 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 3: out of what was going on in Chicago back in 112 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 3: the day and other points. It's not about crime. But 113 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 3: when you have this consistent pattern that you're only going 114 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: after black mans, now you're going to fight Wes Moore. 115 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 3: I mean, the pattern here is clear, particularly when the 116 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: data shows that crime is down in these cities, and 117 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: you should be saying, why can't I work with the mess? 118 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 3: The wise political strategy is to start picking off some 119 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 3: of these mans that can say Trump's not that bad, 120 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: We're working together. He doesn't want that, and it's clear he's. 121 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: Doing that at the expensive people. All Right, So Al 122 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: Sharpton thinks that there's a pattern here developing with who 123 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: Trump's going after, going after the black mayors now He's 124 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 2: going after the black governor, Wes Moore, the governor of Maryland. 125 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: And he says, there's a pattern here of who Trump's 126 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: going against. And I agree. I agree with the esteemed 127 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: ry friend Al Sharpton, there is a pattern here, Reverend Sharpton. 128 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: I'm wondering why you refuse to see it. I guess 129 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 2: you're right. It's not a mistake. It's not an accident 130 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 2: that Trump is going after cities that have black mayors. 131 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: A there's a disproportionate number of black mayors in America, 132 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: so already that number is skewed. There's a pattern there, 133 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: so we have an outsized demographic in this office. Yeah, 134 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 2: all of their cities are terrible, Baltimore, Detroit, DC, Chicago, 135 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: trying to think of where I know the other black 136 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 2: mayors are, New Orleans. Take your pick. Maybe the pattern 137 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 2: isn't Trump pattern. Maybe it's hours and I'm using hour 138 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: because I'm black, But I don't really count myself with 139 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 2: these people. But maybe, just speaking as a black American, 140 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 2: this is an US problem. It blows my mind that 141 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 2: Sharpton would not think for one second to ask what's 142 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: wrong with us? What is wrong with us? He knows 143 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: better than anyone. He's in those communities. He's always marching 144 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: and doing some activism work, but he doesn't do anything 145 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 2: that's worth anything. But he's always there, isn't he Wherever 146 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 2: there's a camera and wherever there's quote oppressed people, Al 147 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: Sharpton is there. He's marching in the streets against crime, 148 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 2: you know, but usually he's always tying it to white folks. 149 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 2: So he's seen it. He doesn't live there, or he 150 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 2: lives in a fancy Manhattan penthouse pai paid for by 151 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 2: the donors of people who think he's actually fighting injustice, 152 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 2: but he still goes those communities, soe he sees it, 153 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: and he meets those families, those black families who have 154 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 2: lost loved ones to violent crime in our own streets. 155 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 2: He knows that it's there, he knows it's bad, he 156 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 2: knows people don't like it, and yet he is not 157 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 2: even for one second willing to connect the fact that 158 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 2: these places are run by black mayors. And that's the problem. 159 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: That's the problem. We're the problem. It's us h Taylor Swift. 160 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 2: This is a hard thing to say out loud, and 161 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: it's a hard thing for a lot of people to hear. 162 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: But The reason why it seems like Trump is targeting 163 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 2: black marrors is because almost every black mirror in America 164 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: is grossly incompetent and criminal. And that's the truth. Why 165 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: are we like this? That's what I want to know. 166 00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: Why are we like this? It's something thing that does 167 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: need to be talked about. So, yeah, I wouldn't expect 168 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 2: anything else from Al Sharpton. I wouldn't expect any other 169 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 2: I wouldn't expect for him to say anything else. But 170 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: on Tony Katz today, I am saying this to you today. 171 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 2: This is not a Donald Trump problem. This is a 172 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: US problem. Maybe we should get our cities cleaned up. 173 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 2: Don't you dare sit there and say crime is down 174 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 2: in DC, crime is down in Chicago? And you know 175 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 2: damn well, you're in those streets every month, marching with 176 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 2: families who have lost people. How dare you are you 177 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: going to talk to those people? You're gonna tell them 178 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: that crime is down. I know you're sad, but crime 179 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: is down. It is a It's not. Those numbers are bunk. 180 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 2: We know this, but be if you're living on the street. 181 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 2: This has been the Democrat's old problem for a year now, 182 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: and it's going to continue for the next three Their 183 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 2: only strategy is, don't believe you're lyon eyes. But Americans 184 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 2: still have ice, We still have eyes to see those 185 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: haven't been made illegal yet. Don't believe you're lying. Eyes 186 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 2: you tell, you tell the very black people you're marching 187 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 2: within the streets that the crime is not a problem 188 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 2: for them. Screw you. You're vile and disgusting. It is 189 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: a problem. It's a problem for us. It's a problem 190 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 2: in our communities, and black mayors are a problem. There. 191 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: I said it, Clip it up, send it everywhere. Let's 192 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 2: take a break. I'm Kia Davis filling it for Tony Katz, 193 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 2: and you're listening to Tony Katz today. Welcome back, everybody 194 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 2: to Tony Katz Today. Tony Katz is out. I'm your 195 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 2: guest host, Kira Davis. We've been talking about Trump. I've 196 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 2: just been doing stuff all morning, you guys, he is 197 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: he's still talking now. He has moved to the couch 198 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: in the Oval office and he's holding a bilateral meeting 199 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 2: with South Korea. And who's the other entity there? Nobody 200 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: that I care about. I didn't remember. But this is 201 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: something very interesting that you just said, so again, this 202 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 2: is why it's great if you sign up for the 203 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: White House emails. They'll even email you train scripts of 204 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: what's being said in the Oval Office as it's happening. 205 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 2: So here's a little nugget that they emailed out. In 206 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 2: the break A reporter asked President Trump about his truth 207 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 2: social posts on South Korea, and I didn't know what 208 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 2: was going on, but this is what he said. Well, 209 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 2: I heard there were raids on churches over the last 210 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: few days, very vicious raids on churches by the new 211 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 2: government in South Korea. That they even went into our 212 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 2: military base and got information. They probably shouldn't have done that, 213 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 2: but I heard bad things. I don't know if it's 214 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 2: true or not. I'll be finding out. As you know, 215 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 2: your new president is coming in just a couple of hours. 216 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 2: Looking forward to meeting him. But we won't stand for that. 217 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 2: We just won't stand for that. This is a story 218 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 2: that we have not really paid very close attention to 219 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 2: here in the US because we have been obviously going 220 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: through a lot by ourselves. But South Korea has just 221 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: suffered a Chinese coup. The Chinese took over the country. 222 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: You might recall about six months ago the president of 223 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 2: South Korea shut down the elections, and Americans immediately when 224 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 2: we hear elections shut down, we were like, oh no, 225 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 2: we don't like that. But as it turns out, what 226 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 2: he understood what was happening, which we did not, was 227 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 2: a Chinese coup. They cheated their way into the leadership 228 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: of South Korea. It's very concerning, and I thought, Okay, well, 229 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: maybe nothing will happen. But the fact that South Korea, 230 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 2: one of our greatest Asian allies, South Korea, which is 231 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: very Americanized, by the way, extremely Americanized, so much so 232 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 2: that we are now trading culture ka pop cultures come 233 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: to America. South Korea is now invading churches. That's China people. 234 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 2: So when you see Trump out there doing crazy stuff 235 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: like talking about buying Greenland, closing the border, even this 236 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: intel chip thing again something I'm going to look at. 237 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: I don't know enough about it to have a real 238 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 2: informed opinion on it, but I am cautious about it. 239 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: But even all of that, it is designed to combat 240 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: and combat the Chinese incursion. That is exactly what's happening 241 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: in our American cities. Have you seen the mayor of Boston, 242 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 2: I will bet every cent in my innemic savings account 243 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: that she is owned by the Chinese government. I have 244 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: no doubt here in California. If you ever wonder why 245 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: our politics are so insane, it's because this state is 246 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: owned by the Chinese government. We are at critical mass. 247 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom is owned by the Chinese government. Case in point, 248 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 2: San Francisco. Last year, before President Trump took office. Last year, 249 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: the commie leader g came in to San Francisco. Now 250 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 2: you know San Francisco, it's so bad. They have poop maps. 251 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 2: They have to layout maps of human feces in San 252 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 2: Francisco to help people get around the literal crap that's 253 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 2: laying in the streets. Homelessness, crime, you've seen. You've seen 254 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: it all by now, you've seen all the videos by now. 255 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 2: It's insane for a city as wealthy, expensive and beautiful 256 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: as that. And when President g came in, they cleaned 257 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 2: the whole place up pristine, not a single homeless person 258 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 2: on the street. I still don't know where they all went. 259 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 2: They came back, picked up all the trash, cleaned up 260 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 2: all the poop. It was pristine. That's what you do 261 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 2: for your leader. You lay out the red carpet for 262 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 2: your leader. This problem is so much bigger than just 263 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: individual policies and individual cities. We have been taken over 264 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 2: by a foreign entity. It's in every city. That's why 265 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: your cities look the way they look. That's why here 266 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 2: in California we have a high speed high speed rail 267 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 2: to nowhere that has been in construction since twenty and ten, 268 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 2: was supposed to be finished by two thousand and sixteen, 269 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 2: delayed till twenty and twenty five, and now until two 270 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: thousand and thirty five, and now is in I think 271 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 2: forty billion dollar overrun and on a single mile of 272 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: track has been laid. Where do you think the money 273 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 2: is going? The Chinese? Why do you think the Democrats 274 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 2: want us all on wind and solar power because we 275 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 2: buy those things from the Chinese. This is this is 276 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 2: not just one thing or the other. This is a 277 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 2: holistic approach to repairing the incredible damage that has been 278 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 2: done to America. By the way, here in California, I 279 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 2: know a lot of you out there. You always ask me, Kira, 280 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: why don't you just move, just get out of there. 281 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: Tony was here, he did He found greater, greater pastures 282 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 2: in Indianapolis. I'm happy for him, and I'm a little 283 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 2: bit jealous. No hard feelings. But let me tell you something. 284 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 2: You America better hope that people like me stay here 285 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 2: in California. I'm the last thing standing between you and 286 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 2: a President Newsom, between you and San Francisco, between you 287 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 2: and this madness. It's coming to you, and people like 288 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: me are the last line of defense. It's already come 289 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 2: to you. It's already in your city. It's already in 290 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: Indianapolis and Boston and Dallas and Austin. They went for 291 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 2: the cities first. The country, folks are a little bit tougher, right. 292 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 2: COVID was designed to get to the rest of us. Now. Thankfully, 293 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 2: the American spirit wasn't quite dead, and we were able 294 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 2: to beat that back. But it took us far too long, 295 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 2: if you ask me so, California is ground zero for 296 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 2: what's going on in the rest of the country. Not 297 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: because we're so great, but because what we do here 298 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 2: has a significant impact on what is going to happen 299 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 2: in the rest of the country. We are exporting Chinese 300 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 2: values because that's what has bought California. All right, more 301 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 2: on that when we come back. I'm Kia Davis filling 302 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: it for Tony Kats. You're listening to Tony Kats Today. 303 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 2: Welcome back everybody too, Tony Kats Today. I am your 304 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 2: guest host, Kira Davis. You can find me on x 305 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: at Real Kia Davis.

Coming to 307 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 2: you live from Southern California is my good friend. Tony 308 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 2: is out today, but I'm going to get you through 309 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 2: the rest of this Monday. No worries. We've been talking 310 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 2: all things Trump. I'm trying to move on a little bit. 311 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 2: Or we're in California News now. I'm here in southern California, 312 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: and as I was saying before the break, look, we've 313 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 2: got a Chinese problem. That's a bigger problem than just 314 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 2: rogue mayors or rogue cities or even crime. I did 315 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: a big rant about our responsibilities as Black Americans for 316 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 2: our own communities, but it's even bigger than that. We 317 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 2: actually have a Chinese incursion into most American cities and 318 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: most of American politics, and in particular here in California. 319 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: It's a big problem. That's why there's two issues here. 320 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 2: It's the Chinese we have a lot of Chinese illegal immigrants. 321 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 2: That's they don't really get reported. But ICE has been 322 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 2: parked here in California for two months now and they've 323 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 2: been posting up in Asian communities. We have a huge 324 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 2: Chinese immigrant problem here, illegal immigrant problem here. But also 325 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 2: here's the other thing that people don't understand about California. 326 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 2: We're a border state and so we obviously we have 327 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 2: horrible immigration issues, illegal immigration issues. But because the way 328 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: that our local laws are set up, those people can 329 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 2: get on their city councils, they can run for office. 330 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 2: Some of those people are in California government and they 331 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 2: come from Latino South American communist countries. So communism is 332 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 2: a very South American value really, and so they come 333 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 2: and they and a lot of them don't even they 334 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 2: aren't even here legally. I bet if I'm hoping DJ 335 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 2: is already doing this. But I bet if Ice and 336 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: DJ really looked into the papers of a lot of 337 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: the people serving in California government, they'd find a lot 338 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 2: of non citizens, a lot. It's a big problem here. 339 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 2: So if you're wondering, why is there anything so cammy 340 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 2: coming out of California, we literally have communists running the 341 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 2: system here, which means the system is broken. Right, So 342 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: a lot of you ask me all the time, Kiera, 343 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 2: how you keep you keep voting for this the poland 344 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 2: keeps showing this. No, I we are not voting for this. 345 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 2: We are not. There are crazy Californians. There are weirdos 346 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: in San Francisco, in LA you know, the true blue 347 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 2: They're everywhere. They're in your city too, right. You can't 348 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 2: convince them. They're gonna vote no matter what. But we 349 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 2: have a system here that is rigged. So not only 350 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 2: are we battling information distribution, which is also rigged here 351 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 2: in California because we have a communist media, they are 352 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 2: just lapdogs. They are like the national media was until 353 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: eight months ago. So it's hard to get information out, 354 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 2: true information. It's my goal to set up a California 355 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 2: network here in Orange County because we don't even get 356 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,479 Speaker 2: our information out properly here. We have to rely on 357 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 2: LA media to do that for us. Can imagine how 358 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 2: that goes. Some of you in the area where Tony lives, 359 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 2: you might know what I'm talking about. We're from We 360 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 2: came here from Gary, Indiana. Now Gary is twenty five 361 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 2: thirty miles south of the south side Chicago, and it's 362 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 2: treated like it doesn't belong to Indiana. It's Lake County. 363 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 2: Lake County politics are the same on the Indiana side 364 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 2: as they are on the Chicago side, and so Gary. 365 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 2: There's a lot of crappy stuff going on in that city, 366 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 2: a lot of really dastardly stuff. It never gets reported 367 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 2: because the only news they have to rely on is 368 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 2: Chicago news, and then the rest of Indiana ignores them. 369 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 2: We have the same problem here, so it's an information 370 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 2: blackout as well. But California, this is not just about 371 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 2: bad politicians, but the system is rotted from the inside out. 372 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 2: So that's what we're working to do. We're doing the 373 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 2: typical things that you see. We're filing lawsuits and fighting 374 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 2: the bad legislation. I'm going to talk about some of 375 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 2: it in just a second here just for poops and giggles. 376 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: You can see how crazy it is here. But it's 377 00:23:53,640 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 2: not just that. It is also that we the system 378 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 2: is owned by unions. So for instance, let's talk about 379 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 2: this jerry mandering thing. I know y'all want to know 380 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 2: about this jerry mandering. The response that NEWSOM is giving 381 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 2: to Texas. Now, my sense this is based on nothing, 382 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 2: but my sense this is totally anecdotal. My sense about 383 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 2: California voters is we are over it. We are over 384 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom. We hate him. He's pretty much universally hated 385 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: after the LA fires because the fires burned down the 386 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: last of his donors' mansions. So now even they hate him. 387 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 2: We all hate him, even seeing what he's been doing 388 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 2: with his social media account. He's hired a new team, 389 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 2: this new gen Z team, and they're I'm convinced they're 390 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 2: buying bots and likes, and they're aping Trump and they're 391 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 2: I guess they're saying, it's really it's it's not parody 392 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 2: people if you can't understand it. But anyway, the left 393 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 2: can't mean. But I guess their point is, oh, we're 394 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 2: driving the right crazy. We're pointing out how dumb Trump 395 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 2: sounds by making Gavin sound this dumb. But they don't 396 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 2: understand that Gavin just sounds dumb. Trump doesn't sound Dumby 397 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 2: only sounds dumb to them because they don't understand them 398 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 2: and they don't understand what's going on. It only sounds 399 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 2: dumb to them. So now they're making Gavin sound doubly dumb. 400 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 2: It's all they have. But the idea here is that 401 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 2: they think that they they think that it's a messaging problem, right, 402 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 2: and we just figure out the right way to message 403 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 2: to the voters and then they'll get it. Now, the 404 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 2: voters here in California, I have every confidence get it. 405 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 2: But here is what is happening with the jerry manderin 406 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 2: It's a special election. We might call it a snap 407 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 2: in Canada, it's a special election. It's been called We've 408 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 2: never done anything so fast in California in my entire 409 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 2: life here, never not want nothing moves this fast. And 410 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 2: suddenly in four days we've got a special election on 411 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 2: the ballot. That so, in special elections it's only the 412 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 2: very politically that the very politically engaged that go to 413 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 2: the ballot box. Period. Already, you're dealing with a limited 414 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 2: number of voters California special election voters, right. The politically 415 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 2: engaged that would go to the polls. On the left 416 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 2: are the unions. And that's where the problem is. The 417 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 2: unions have the numbers. They can just send a memo 418 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 2: around and go, you're going to the ballot box on 419 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 2: this day and you're going to vote yes for this, 420 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 2: and because special elections have such an anemic turnout, it's 421 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 2: enough them. Just activating the Union base is enough to 422 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 2: pass certain things. So it's not that in general Californians 423 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: are voting on it. It's the robots. It's the zombie 424 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 2: voters that are voting on it, and the rest of 425 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 2: us have to depend on getting out and getting the 426 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 2: base activated to get involved in a special election. Gavin 427 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 2: Newsom would not have put this on the ballot if 428 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 2: he didn't think he could win. But I promise you 429 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 2: he's not gonna win because of organic voters. It won't 430 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 2: win because it's the truth and it's what we want. 431 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 2: This jerrymandering is polling at forty one percent here. We 432 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 2: don't want it. We're jerrymandered out the wazoo. Here we've 433 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 2: got forty nine Republican representatives in a body of one 434 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty in Sacramento. Jerrymandering is aimed at Orange County, 435 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 2: where I'm sitting right now as I talk to you. 436 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 2: You may know about us. We're the last red wall 437 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 2: in the state. The governor came for us through COVID 438 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 2: and he hasn't stopped Huntington Beach. Anyone Huntington Beach will 439 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: get carved up, and half that beautiful city, that beautiful 440 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 2: surfing conservative red city, half that city will go to 441 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 2: Long Beach in representation. There's almost nothing left to jerrymander. 442 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 2: This is the problem that the that the Democrats are 443 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 2: going to run up against. They're going to do it 444 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 2: in Maryland, They're going to do it. They're threatening to 445 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 2: do this everywhere. This is the and this is the 446 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 2: genius of Trump. He knew that Texas had the legal 447 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 2: standing for those jerrymandered seats. So conservatives again I call 448 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 2: them the professional contrarian class. They call themselves conservatives, but 449 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 2: they're always like making sure I'm not you know, I'm 450 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 2: not like those other conservatives, and so they like to say, well, 451 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 2: maybe we just shouldn't be doing this at all. Maybe not. 452 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,959 Speaker 2: But Trump made very sure that when he made that 453 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 2: request at Texas, that he was making a request which 454 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 2: was well within his legal right. So none of these 455 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 2: other cities and excuse me, states have legal standing. And 456 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 2: the cherry on top, although it's going to hurt while 457 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 2: we're going through this, it's hurting right now in California. 458 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 2: The cherry on top is that they've got almost nothing 459 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 2: left to Jerrymander the old I will never forget. I'm 460 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 2: going to go to break here just a second, but 461 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 2: let me end this segment with this. I will never 462 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 2: ever forget the opening weeks of this administration, when Elon 463 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 2: was still doing Doge and he sat down for an 464 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 2: interview on Fox and they said, what are the one 465 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 2: of the things that surprised you the most, or that 466 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 2: you want Americans to know that should be surprising to them. 467 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 2: I will never forget it, he said, Americans are about 468 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 2: to find out that they've been living in the Truman Show. 469 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 2: Nothing is real. And he didn't go further than that, 470 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 2: but I have always thought about that, and I've always 471 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 2: wondered exactly what he meant by that. And this is 472 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 2: one of those things, everybody, that we're about to find out. 473 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 2: All of this bitching and moaning that you're doing about 474 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 2: California voters, it's not real. We're not voting for this. 475 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 2: Our elections are fake. They're rigged, and I think most 476 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 2: elections have been rigged for a very long time in 477 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 2: this country. And we're going to find out. We're finding 478 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 2: out the hard way. And yeahd it's going to be uncomfortable, 479 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,239 Speaker 2: but I need you guys to understand that once we 480 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 2: do get this rooted out, and I think we can. 481 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 2: Once we do, Democrats are going to lose for a 482 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 2: very very long time. And that's why they're doing everything 483 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 2: they're doing right now. They know that this is ending 484 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 2: and they are in big, big trouble. I'm Kia Davis 485 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 2: filling in for Tony Katz and you're listening to Tony 486 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 2: Kats today. Well got back everybody too, Tony Katz today, 487 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging out with me.

He'll 489 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 2: be back tomorrow, but in the meantime, I am coming 490 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 2: to you live from southern California. Former Indiana resident myself 491 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 2: though so always have had great ties to Indiana, Gary, 492 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 2: Indiana specifically. Yes, that was my home for ten years. 493 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 2: My husband was born and raised there and still have 494 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 2: a footprint in the community. Actually, it's crazy. I went 495 00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 2: back recently. We went back last year and you just 496 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,719 Speaker 2: think like it's been a while. You know, we've been 497 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 2: here in California for fifteen almost twenty years, but the 498 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 2: family's still there. You know, we still have property there, 499 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,719 Speaker 2: we still have investments there, and we went back. You 500 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 2: just think, yeah, we're gonna see something different, and this 501 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 2: is worse. This is worse. It's worse every time you 502 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 2: go there. It's just incredible. I'm just reading this tweet 503 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 2: from Gavin Newsom's gen Z Press team. Well they posted 504 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 2: under his account, but this is not him. Real. Donald 505 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 2: Trump turned a booming economy into a stagnant one in 506 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 2: record time. His war on affordability and small business are 507 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 2: having real impacts, from his chaotic tariffs to his jobs 508 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 2: and economy killing immigration ray and excuse me and economy 509 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 2: killing immigration rays. California will continue to fight back. There 510 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 2: is so much in here. I might have to go 511 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 2: do a substack commentary on this so I can expand 512 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 2: expound to some video. I love substack. By the way, 513 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 2: you should go look at my substack. I love it. 514 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 2: It's totally made for a gen xer like me. It's 515 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 2: like user friendly. I just hate all of the different 516 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 2: types of social media. You have to know and be 517 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 2: into to be seen and heard. Go find me over there. 518 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 2: If you find me, great. If you don't owe out, 519 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 2: you know I still got someone paying my bills. Over 520 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 2: here anyway, So don't panic. I'm not a prostitute. I'm 521 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 2: just a wife. I don't know. Some liberals might argue 522 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 2: it's the same thing, but there's just so much jump 523 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 2: back here, he says. First, he says he's turned a 524 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 2: booming economy into a stagment, a stagnant, a stagnant one 525 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 2: excuse me, now, you guys, remember what I said at 526 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: the break, that this is the Democrat playbook and it's 527 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 2: been this way for a year to two years. Now. 528 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 2: Don't believe you're lyon eyes. It's mostly peaceful protest the border. 529 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 2: There's no problem at the border. These are fine, upstanding 530 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 2: American citizens and not gangbanger. You know it just don't 531 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 2: move is going down. We don't have an illegal alien 532 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 2: criminal problem. The economy is fine, The price of eggs 533 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 2: are just fine. Look at this decimal point and moved over. 534 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 2: Why are you so dumb that you can't see it? 535 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 2: That's been their whole strategy. Again, This is why I'm 536 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 2: not worried about this. I know it looks like Newsom 537 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 2: is surgeon right now. He's just surging and being spoken about. Right, 538 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 2: So congratulations for that. We're talking about you. But there's 539 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 2: nobody that's talking about this in a context that is Wow, 540 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 2: he's got some great ideas, like they get it. He 541 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 2: is going to lead the No, they don't get it. 542 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 2: I would be worried if he was tweeting out these 543 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 2: like solid ideas that we're going to solve our problems. 544 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 2: But this guy's gen Z team. But by the way, 545 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 2: these are the San Francisco limo limousine liberal set that 546 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 2: he's hired. None of them live, all of them have 547 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 2: their bills paid by daddy. They're all interns that their 548 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 2: dad's got them these jobs. Like none of them have 549 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 2: paid rent or lived a real life for one second 550 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 2: in the state. And it's obvious when you watch them tweet. 551 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,879 Speaker 2: But not only are they saying that, are they saying, well, 552 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 2: this economy has been a stagnant one. Then they're telling 553 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 2: us not to believe our lying eye. They're not saying, 554 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 2: here's what Newsom is going to do to lead us out. 555 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 2: Their entire response is, do not believe your lying eyes. 556 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 2: Was the economy forget about California, by the way, we 557 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 2: are not booming. It has never been. We are not 558 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 2: riding this great golden age. Yet we're about a year 559 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 2: or two behind the rest of the country. Was the 560 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 2: economy booming in December of twenty twenty four. Not a 561 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 2: single person, not a single living American who doesn't work 562 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 2: for Gavin Newsom, would tell you that who was living 563 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 2: in real America. So already that's crazy that he called. 564 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 2: Then he says, he accuses Trump of having a war 565 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 2: on affordability and small business in California. Imagine being the 566 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 2: governor of California and having the nerve to accuse the 567 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 2: president of waging a war on affordability. You have to 568 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 2: have a million dollars in the bank to buy a modest, 569 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 2: two bedroom home here in California, almost anywhere. That is 570 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,280 Speaker 2: no joke. And everyone knows that we are hemorrhaging businesses, 571 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,399 Speaker 2: bed bath and beyond. Gave using the middle finger last week. 572 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 2: We'll talk about it more when we get back. Don't 573 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 2: leave us to start accounts today.
