1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: The Indiana State Senate is debating redistricting it right now. 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: It is ground zero in the in the fight. I mean, 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: this is where it's taking place. You've got forty members, 4 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: and you have the opportunity. I'm sorry. You have forty 5 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: Republicans in the Senate, fifty total, fifty total. I've got 6 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: that right, and you have all the possibility in the world, 7 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: all the possibility in the world of this happening. Except 8 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure that it's going to happen. I 9 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: have no reason to think, no reason to believe that 10 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: redistricting will be successful none. I just cannot give you 11 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: a good read on what it is these Republicans are 12 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: going to do. I hope my desire is for redistricting. 13 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: I just can't find anything. I cannot find a read 14 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: that can make me feel definitive in their actions. Meanwhile, 15 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: this was set to be on c SPAN, right, it 16 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: was going to be for the world to see, and 17 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: then it went away. I do not know what happened, 18 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: but it absolutely went away, like you can't watch it now, 19 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: So I guess we'll find out. Like everybody else, I 20 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: do have three more things for you, three or more 21 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: stories that not everybody is talking about, but everybody clearly 22 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: should be talking about because it's important. First things, first, 23 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: President Trump banning trans troops. Three judge panel clearing the 24 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: Trump administration to resume discharging transgender service members. They have 25 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: instituted PETE access policy, while the case heads to a 26 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: full pullot argument next month. Now in it's not that 27 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: I've had many conversations about this. In conversations I have 28 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: had about it, the argument has been that it is 29 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: not trans troops that affect unit readiness, it is troops 30 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: of different sexes because those people end up having sex together. 31 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: I swear to you that has been the conversation. The 32 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: only thing I care about is true readiness, whether or 33 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: not they are prepared to fight. The very concept of 34 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: trans is far different than any other, because we can 35 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: state clearly through the DSM five, the diagnostic manual there 36 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: for the American Psychiatric Association, that it is a mental disorder. 37 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: I know that's somehow offensive to a lot of people, 38 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: but I can't concern myself with their offense. I can 39 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: only concern myself with the facts, and is that somebody 40 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: you want in the unit to begin with. No part 41 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: of the military should be about social change or social justice. 42 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: The military should be about what is best to execute 43 00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: the mission of destroying the enemy. That is it. So 44 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: with this it will now get another review. I think 45 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: the lawsuits will continue. I think you'll see this in 46 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. And I think what the answer is 47 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: is that the military is allowed to decide its standard. 48 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: People get told they can't be in the military because 49 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: they have poor eyesight. Now, maybe one could make a 50 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: joke here about eyesight. If you can't see what's under 51 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: your belt line and recognize it for what it is, 52 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: you probably can't be in the military. I clean that 53 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: joke up for radio. I feel good about it do. 54 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: But this this is a far from done battle, very 55 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: very far from done. Well a story you should be 56 00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: paying attention to. Your pasta is safe or now, and 57 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: it's safe from tariffs because pasta, along with a whole 58 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: bunch of other stuff, was set to deal with the 59 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: tariffs and therefore the price going up on imported Italian 60 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: pasta would have doubled. So the government shut down, as 61 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: reported by the Washington Times, has kind of put a 62 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: kibosh on the tariff, possibly until February and maybe going 63 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: into the full on Spring. I'm going to assume that 64 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: Georgia Maloney, when asked about this, is going to give 65 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: an eye roll, as she oft does and says, seriously, 66 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: what are you doing? It's pasta. This is what the 67 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,119 Speaker 1: people want. Your people wanted to You think they actually 68 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: want to eat that American cramp. They want the good wheat, 69 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: the good flour. Don't get silly. There's a little bit 70 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: of a deeper story here. There was in the Biden 71 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: administration was a conversation about dumping, whether or not Italian 72 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: pasta was being dumped on the American market because they 73 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: make too much of it. They weren't able to sell 74 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: it elsewhere, so they've sent it here to discounts, and 75 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: therefore they were engaging in an unsavory trade practice. Well, 76 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: if you're engaged in an unsavory trade practice, okay, we 77 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: can have ourselves a conversation about that. Otherwise, leave the 78 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: pasta be. Then there is the special security review of 79 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: Nvidia chips. I am not buying into this at all 80 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: in any way, not one ounce, not one bit. This 81 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: started as a story yesterday about how President Trump was 82 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: going to be okay with selling chips, these AI chips 83 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: to the Chinese and somehow it's okay because we the 84 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: United States, are going to end up with twenty five percent. 85 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: With all due respect, the only thing worse than no 86 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: deal is a bad deal. And sometimes it's okay to 87 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: say to another nation, no deal. You just can't have them. 88 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: That's where I stand with these ships from in Vidia, 89 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: you can't have them. Now. They're saying in a report 90 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: by the Wall Street Journal that the AI chips from 91 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: in Vidia are going to go through an unusual that's 92 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: the headlined US security review. These are the Nvidia H 93 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: two hundred AI chips. They would be mainly manufactured in Taiwan. 94 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: From there followed US. They would travel to the US 95 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: for a national security review, and then we'll be sent 96 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: on to China and we get twenty five percent from 97 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: the sales. Now, I do not quite know how the 98 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: United States gets money from the sale from this organization 99 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: in Nvidia. We're not partners with companies because that's not 100 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: going to work out. Well, that's a bad precedent. The 101 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: government does not get into bed with companies. We have 102 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: names for those things. We have historical examples of the 103 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: problems there. The United States government is the way for 104 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: businesses like this to thrive, and sometimes it tells businesses 105 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: like this, you don't get to sell to China. It's 106 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: a national security issue. We don't care how much money 107 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna make. It's a national security issue. Don't make 108 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: us remind you you don't sell to China. It's a 109 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: national security issue. That of course should be the conversation. 110 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: So with this move, I am not a happy man. 111 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: The idea that we think that there needs to be 112 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: a level of competition that is enhanced, or there is 113 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: a level of competition that's enhanced by selling these ships 114 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: to China, well, we got to be able to compete 115 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: with groups like Huawei Technologies. We prevented Huawei, and so 116 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: did the Canadians, and so did the Brits from Huawei, 117 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,359 Speaker 1: which is spelled h u a w e I pronounced Huawei. 118 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: We prevented them from being the people who set the 119 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: five G protocols which will run the Internet of Things. 120 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: We quite literally stated we won't buy your stuff and 121 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: we will not let you operate here. You are not 122 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: this stuff is not welcome. Now we're saying no. Now 123 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: we're saying it's okay to sell them chips. That's insane 124 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: as for this special review, unless you're gonna tell me 125 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: that the chips are going to be reviewed by the 126 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: same as Raelis that reviewed the pagers. No, it's ridiculous. 127 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: It's a ridiculous, terrible, awful, very very bad idea. We 128 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: should want no part of this less than zero. That's 129 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: three more stories that you should know about. Keep it here. 130 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: This is Tony Katz today.
