Speaker 1: Live from vall Hartbeiner and the Crossroads of America. It's
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. So her name is Jessica, and she's
Speaker 1: just your friendly neighborhood. ISIS inspired terrorist? I mean, that's
Speaker 1: who she is. That's what happened. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today,
Speaker 1: Good to be here, Good to be with you. Her
Speaker 1: name is Jessica Bowie. She's thirty five years old, charged
Speaker 1: in a criminal complaint that was followed in the Northern
Speaker 1: District of New York for attempting to provide material support
Speaker 1: or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization. Here's the
Speaker 1: story she plotted after repeatedly pledging allegiance to ISIS and
Speaker 1: started communicating with an FBI confidential source posing as an
Speaker 1: ISIS facilitator. Now, I want to make sure this connects
Speaker 1: to something we discussed yesterday with Noah Rothmann of National Review.
Speaker 1: The amount of things that are interdicted, plots damaged, that
Speaker 1: is trying to be done to the United States by
Speaker 1: the Iranians. That number is overwhelming. He is correct, and
Speaker 1: it was a solid point. Is a very very large number. Constantly,
Speaker 1: the Iranians are trying to do damage to us, So
Speaker 1: are others, and so are those who are aligned with
Speaker 1: the others because they've decided we're evil. This is not
Speaker 1: something new. It's that the ability to radicalize and doctor
Speaker 1: and pick your word has become so much easier, as
Speaker 1: you know, because of social media. It's so much easier
Speaker 1: to target people, isolate people, and make them come over
Speaker 1: to this evil and to this hatred. So here you
Speaker 1: have this woman who reached out, How can I do this?
Speaker 1: How can I do this? America is so terrible? So
Speaker 1: an FBI, I mean, this is what they do. We
Speaker 1: always talk about when they get it wrong. Sometimes they
Speaker 1: get it right, and they deserve our respect. Posing as
Speaker 1: the source, posing as an ISIS facilitator, does this FBI
Speaker 1: confidential source. So Bowie starts discussing attacking the capital in
Speaker 1: Albany and asked for assistance making explosives. Here's the quote.
Speaker 1: I would like to target the state capital and do
Speaker 1: something to benefit the UMAH and harm the enemies of God.
Speaker 1: Now you understand that Jessica Bowie, in my view of her,
Speaker 1: looking at her photo as a white woman who converted,
Speaker 1: she decided this is where the future is. How any
Speaker 1: woman could make this move to a conversion to Islam.
Speaker 1: It's something I cannot fathom nor understand. Now you can
Speaker 1: argue me it's none of my concern. I guess you
Speaker 1: could argue that radical Islam is my concern, considering it's
Speaker 1: a political system and it is not a religion, and
Speaker 1: it radicalizes people, and it believes it. Everybody in every
Speaker 1: part of society has to live under their rules. Yes,
Speaker 1: that part concerns me. Someone making a conversion, I can't
Speaker 1: say I can stop them. I can argue that I
Speaker 1: don't understand it. And I admit to you clearly without
Speaker 1: any reservation, that I women, especially in a society under
Speaker 1: a scheme that is absolutely oppressive of women. And no
Speaker 1: one can deny nor debate. You want to say the
Speaker 1: United States is appressive of pressive of women, stop that
Speaker 1: the United States is not oppressive of women in the
Speaker 1: slightest cannot say the same thing about Islam. It is
Speaker 1: oppressive of women, and women voluntarily going that way. There's
Speaker 1: a whole there's an issue there, which is to say,
Speaker 1: what actually drives someone to that? Is it the idea
Speaker 1: of why does anybody join the gang to begin with?
Speaker 1: It's a concept of purpose, it's a concept of loneliness.
Speaker 1: And in this case, I won't be a I mean sure,
Speaker 1: I'll have to do this, that and that. I'll lose this,
Speaker 1: this and this, and I won't have this freedom, I
Speaker 1: won't have this life, but I won't be alone anymore.
Speaker 1: Let us not pretend that the mind is an easy
Speaker 1: thing to understand. We are people who support freedom, and
Speaker 1: we are people who support concepts of liberty. Right, which
Speaker 1: is the idea of certain basic guardrails. Because the freedom
Speaker 1: society in Toto, that becomes pretty rough. Having rules of
Speaker 1: the road that everybody understands. Right, here's the world in
Speaker 1: which we live. These are the guidelines of this rule
Speaker 1: that allows everybody to operate freely. But it still has
Speaker 1: a set of rules. If we were to have total freedom,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have the set of rules. Then there are
Speaker 1: sets of rules that are oppressive. Some people, I guess
Speaker 1: like more oppression than others. So she wants to target
Speaker 1: the state capital. Her plan was to go after state
Speaker 1: senators in New York and then try and catch carry
Speaker 1: out future attack against the White House and Times Square.
Speaker 1: During an August fifth meeting with FBI sources she believed
Speaker 1: were connected to ISIS, she said the most important part
Speaker 1: was ensuring that the senators were killed. Then talked about
Speaker 1: going after the president, saying it could be pursued in
Speaker 1: the future. Not only did she convert to Islam, she
Speaker 1: worked to promote Islam on social media. And then the
Speaker 1: investigators say she bought the material she believed would be
Speaker 1: used for an explosive device, and then wanted to buy
Speaker 1: a concealed handgun so she could shoot back if police
Speaker 1: approached during the operation. For the record, this is a
Speaker 1: very heavy set woman with what I would assume are
Speaker 1: zero physical capabilities whatsoever. I think if she tried to
Speaker 1: reach for the gun, she would fall down and not
Speaker 1: be able to get up. On August nineteenth, she paid
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars for an inert firearm, magazine
Speaker 1: and ammunition and was shown an inert explosive device. Right
Speaker 1: they fed all this to her. Now, one could argue,
Speaker 1: so did they set her up? No, that does not
Speaker 1: seem to be the case whatsoever. She was an isis
Speaker 1: devote because she is lost and she reached out. And
Speaker 1: who was there for the reaching out? These informants, these sources.
Speaker 1: It part of it does play I guess a little
Speaker 1: bit sick like, my gosh, you gotta play along with
Speaker 1: these people, and then you gotta gotta bring them in.
Speaker 1: They're already started in this direction. Hey, how do I
Speaker 1: kill state senators in New York? Was the question this
Speaker 1: woman was asking. That's clearly where she wanted to go.
Speaker 1: Those are the conversations she had. Now, if you argue
Speaker 1: that there are people within a law enforcement who are
Speaker 1: engaged in trying to rope people in, well we've heard
Speaker 1: those stories before, and I would favor going after those
Speaker 1: people in trapping people. That's something that we deal with.
Speaker 1: This is not that this is exactly what we know
Speaker 1: to be. This is a group of people. It's certainly
Speaker 1: always liberal white women. Don't get me wrong. Liberal white
Speaker 1: women are a problem. But unhappy people, dangerously sad people,
Speaker 1: people who are easily manipulated, people who believe that somehow
Speaker 1: things could be better if they just murder all of
Speaker 1: these people. And this is where the Islamist lives and breathes.
Speaker 1: Because the Islamist believes this. Do we need to look
Speaker 1: any further than what we see out of the Iranian regime?
Speaker 1: The answer is no, not in the slightest. We don't
Speaker 1: need to look any further than this. We simply have
Speaker 1: to say to ourselves that we are amongst dangerous people,
Speaker 1: people who can be indoctrinated, people who can be swayed,
Speaker 1: people who can be mentally what's the word manipulated, destroyed, ripped,
Speaker 1: apart used, however you want to describe it. We have
Speaker 1: that all over and this isn't going to end quickly.
Speaker 1: It's not going to end overnight. One of the things
Speaker 1: that this shows us is that the only way ounce
Speaker 1: is through. We have said this before on many different occasions.
Speaker 1: This doesn't end with a snap of the fingers. Hey, everybody,
Speaker 1: stop being a moron. Isis is evil. It doesn't stop
Speaker 1: with that. This only stops over time if we make
Speaker 1: it stop, if we are clear in our assessments of
Speaker 1: who is in the wrong, and Islamist are always in
Speaker 1: the wrong because what they desire is wrong for Western civilis.
Speaker 1: They want us destroyed. How many more ways do you
Speaker 1: have to see it? We have to fight them with
Speaker 1: everything in us, where they are, wherever they are, and
Speaker 1: we have to win. When we talk about where you
Speaker 1: send your kids to school, when we talk about indoctrination
Speaker 1: stuff and culture stuff, this is what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: This is what we have to combat. This is what
Speaker 1: we have to fight, and it's going to mean a
Speaker 1: little bit of fighting ourselves, but that's what it's going
Speaker 1: to take. It's the only way out. The only way
Speaker 1: out is through. Keep it here. This is Tony Kats today,
Speaker 1: Freedom two fifty. Because the celebration of America is not over.
Speaker 1: I don't know how this happened. It's like everybody's got
Speaker 1: to Independence Day and said, okay, the celebration of two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years of America is over. No no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. The signing of the declaration was only part
Speaker 1: of it. It's all the work we did afterwards deserving
Speaker 1: a celebration as well. And this is still the celebration year.
Speaker 1: Tony Kats. Tony Kats today. Great to be with you.
Speaker 1: And one of the cool things going on is Freedom
Speaker 1: two fifty the Grand Prix in the streets of DC.
Speaker 1: This is an IndyCar race. And if you've never seen
Speaker 1: an IndyCar race, all right, I'm biased because not only
Speaker 1: am I in Indianapolis, the home of the Indianapolis five hundred.
Speaker 1: For the last ten years I've been the I've been
Speaker 1: able to do the pre race coverage I do five
Speaker 1: hours of pre race coverage here. It is one of
Speaker 1: the coolest things I get to do. You do it
Speaker 1: from the track, And one of the great things I
Speaker 1: get to do is you know things are getting set
Speaker 1: up and you're there early. Because this is a broadcast.
Speaker 1: It starts at five or six am, depending on the year,
Speaker 1: and so I'm there at like like three thirty in
Speaker 1: the morning and everything's just starting to get set up
Speaker 1: and I get to have a cigar right next to
Speaker 1: the track. Every year, Oh I get I won't even
Speaker 1: tell you the places I get to have a cigar from.
Speaker 1: It is so cool. And then like a few hours later,
Speaker 1: it's got three hundred plus thousand people in it. It's
Speaker 1: a small city, it's it's a large city. It's incredible
Speaker 1: how cool it is. An Indy Car is very cool.
Speaker 1: And this year, because well, Trump and Roger Penske, who
Speaker 1: owns the series, very very close. Penske also owns the
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which is a site to behold, and
Speaker 1: they decided to do an IndyCar race in DC and
Speaker 1: they are doing this with a Freedom two fifty. They're
Speaker 1: calling it the Grand Prix. Incredible. Doug Bowls. I spoke
Speaker 1: with him earlier. He's the president of not only the
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which is an incredible task in and
Speaker 1: of itself, he's the president of IndyCar, great and illustrious
Speaker 1: history in IndyCar, all sorts of ways. He's a great mind,
Speaker 1: and so I caught him as they're gearing up for things.
Speaker 1: He was there with the President and the first Lady
Speaker 1: just yesterday, and he called me today and he's standing
Speaker 1: there right there in turn one of this road course.
Speaker 2: Standing at turn one on the racetrack, looking at our
Speaker 2: nation's capital and then down the long front straight away.
Speaker 2: It's just going to be an amazing event to see
Speaker 2: the twenty five IndyCars out here running for two hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty miles to celebrate our two hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: anniversary country.
Speaker 1: I ever done anything like this before.
Speaker 2: Obviously we've done street.
Speaker 1: Races, but this one has been a bit of a.
Speaker 2: Challenge, just trying to put everything together, so many agencies
Speaker 2: to work with. But I think people will love the imagery.
Speaker 2: I think the racing is going to be fantastic, and
Speaker 2: I know all.
Speaker 1: Of our drivers can't wait.
Speaker 2: We've got a beautiful seventy five pound trophy that's outstanding
Speaker 2: that somebody, somebody is going to come it almost like
Speaker 2: a Border Warner.
Speaker 1: Trophy at some level. Yeah, we're going to say almost
Speaker 1: We're going to keep that at it Almost there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, that's why. That's why I put almost there.
Speaker 1: You had an Indie car on the metro system, it
Speaker 1: was put on a train, it was driving through and
Speaker 1: you had posted about it. Like, if you had told me,
Speaker 1: as a kid, I would see this moment, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have believed you. This is a surreal kind of thing
Speaker 1: that's taking place. It's really surreal.
Speaker 2: You know, all of the when we made the announcement
Speaker 2: and we kind of talked about it and had some
Speaker 2: images of what it might look like, and even seeing
Speaker 2: the track being built over the last few weeks until
Speaker 2: I got here and you walk around. It really is
Speaker 2: a surreal moment to think that we've got a racetrack
Speaker 2: just in the shadow of the Capitol and the Washington
Speaker 2: Monument on the other side. It's Yeah, as a kid
Speaker 2: who's grown up loving in our history of our country
Speaker 2: and all of those pieces and actually working a part
Speaker 2: time out here at some point in my career, Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's no way I would have ever believed this was
Speaker 2: going to happen.
Speaker 1: Talking to Doug Bowles, the president of Indy Car, You've
Speaker 1: got the Freedom two fifty coming up in DC. Now,
Speaker 1: I love this course. There's seven turns. I think it's
Speaker 1: seven right, Yes, okay. It isn't the most intense road
Speaker 1: course that you've got out there, but how it travels,
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like there's a bad seat in the house,
Speaker 1: and that's straightaway that heads down towards the Capitol. It's
Speaker 1: a remarkable, remarkable visual as a part of the race, right,
Speaker 1: as a part of the whole series. What is it
Speaker 1: that the drivers are saying about this course.
Speaker 2: I think really what they're saying about the course itself
Speaker 2: is just really the location. So it is a little
Speaker 2: bit unique in the sense that it's really a bunch
Speaker 2: of ninety degree corps with a little sweeper, like a
Speaker 2: little left right as you come out onto the short
Speaker 2: main straight away that we have here. So in terms
Speaker 2: of technically, it's not the most technical road course, but
Speaker 2: to fit something in Washington, DC, this is really the
Speaker 2: only way we had it. What the drivers are saying
Speaker 2: is it's going to be so quick one point seven
Speaker 2: mile circuits. It's going to be physically taxing.
Speaker 1: It's going to have a lot of high speeds.
Speaker 2: So I think they're excited about it and that they're
Speaker 2: all trying to figure out where it's going to be
Speaker 2: the best place of the past and are what's the
Speaker 2: strategy going to be for a long street race like
Speaker 2: this the longest street race in our history at two
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty miles.
Speaker 1: So and it does it does look like there's a
Speaker 1: real chance for speed. Some of these straightways are fantastic
Speaker 1: with turns, as you said, not too brutal. There also
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house
Speaker 1: if you're coming to watch this race from wherever you
Speaker 1: are around the mall, you've got a vantage point for
Speaker 1: Indy Car and for introducing the sport maybe to people
Speaker 1: who aren't used to the sport, and certainly in DC
Speaker 1: they've never seen anything like this. What has that opportunity
Speaker 1: been Like, Yeah.
Speaker 2: The best part is just the opportunity for people to
Speaker 2: be here and be part of it. And because the
Speaker 2: racetrack goes around the National Mall, and you think about
Speaker 2: the trees in the mall where we were unable to
Speaker 2: put up.
Speaker 1: A lot of grand stands.
Speaker 2: You've got about six thousand grand stand seats, and then
Speaker 2: people are going to have to move around and be able.
Speaker 1: To see from different aspects.
Speaker 2: But we have a ton of massive video boards throughout
Speaker 2: the facility, so as people are here, they can also
Speaker 2: keep up with the race through the video boards that
Speaker 2: are going on. I think it's just going to be
Speaker 2: one of those when you see those images of events
Speaker 2: on the National Mall with people just crammed together, just
Speaker 2: enjoying whatever it is that's going on. I think that's
Speaker 2: the feeling that people are going to get and just
Speaker 2: really looking forward to, looking forward to celebrating with all
Speaker 2: the people that are here.
Speaker 1: Talking to Doug Bowles, the president of IndyCar and the
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and of course you were there yesterday
Speaker 1: the First Lady, Malania Trump announcing two million dollars for
Speaker 1: her Foster Youth program from Fox from IndyCar. Are you
Speaker 1: and Purdue getting those dollars? Walk me through that project?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a really cool project. Fostering the Future is
Speaker 2: a program that the First Lady is really involved with
Speaker 2: that really helps foster care kids through their whole journey,
Speaker 2: but mostly focuses on when kids age out, when they
Speaker 2: get emancipated at eighteen. And so for those kids, roughly
Speaker 2: twenty thousand of them a year who don't who aren't
Speaker 2: adopted right and then they just they time out of
Speaker 2: the system and then there's nobody really there to help them, so,
Speaker 2: especially education wise, and so one of the things that
Speaker 2: Fostering the Future does is help transition to education. So
Speaker 2: IndyCar and Fox we gave two million dollars to Fostering
Speaker 2: the Future. Those scholarships will be used those two million
Speaker 2: dollars at Indiana University in Purdue University to help foster kids.
Speaker 2: So we announced that yesterday in the Rose Garden, which
Speaker 2: was pretty cool. I had an opportunity to speak there
Speaker 2: in the Rose garden. Kind of it's a little intimidating
Speaker 2: when you're standing at the podium and the rose garden
Speaker 2: and then the front row looking and staring at you
Speaker 2: as the President of the United States from the First
Speaker 2: Lady and Roger Pinsk. But it was a pretty cool moment.
Speaker 2: Certainly a cool project for.
Speaker 1: Us to be involved in.
Speaker 2: It is one of the things we love to do
Speaker 2: in IndyCars is continue to give back and invest in
Speaker 2: our youth.
Speaker 1: Doug Bowles is his name, President of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway,
Speaker 1: a president of IndyCar. The race is Sunday. What time
Speaker 1: does this thing start?
Speaker 2: You know, we will pre race on Fox will be early.
Speaker 2: I think we started like ten o'clock. Is almost treating
Speaker 2: it like an Indy five hundred pre race. And the
Speaker 2: green flag will be shortly shortly right around twelve thirty.
Speaker 1: And is there a possibility this race comes back to DC?
Speaker 1: Is this something we can see more often?
Speaker 2: What I love about this race is is as much
Speaker 2: as people want to talk about this as President Trump's event,
Speaker 2: and it really is, he allowed us to get this done.
Speaker 2: But the Democrat mayor of DC loves us and she'd
Speaker 2: love to come back. We'll just see how this thing goes.
Speaker 2: It's a pretty expensive proposition. It's a five on one
Speaker 2: C three charity we set up, so.
Speaker 1: We're not making money on it.
Speaker 2: In fact, we're investing dozens of millions dollars to make
Speaker 2: this happen to celebrate our country's birthday. So we just
Speaker 2: need to look at it afterwards to make a decision.
Speaker 1: The mayor of d C, Muriel Bowser, and on this
Speaker 1: she's been proactive. It's been kind of interesting to watch.
Speaker 1: This is good for any city. Doug Bowles, president of
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and of Indy CAR. I appreciate
Speaker 1: you taking the time to be with us. This is
Speaker 1: good for DC. And yeah, I think there's an excitement
Speaker 1: that's it's not getting super reported on. I think there's
Speaker 1: an excitement that's absolutely growing here in a big way,
Speaker 1: that this is a cool event. It's gonna be a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I didn't know that about the grand
Speaker 1: stands though. I thought, you know, I was looking at
Speaker 1: the track and looking at the map, like there's a
Speaker 1: lot of cool places to see this race from only
Speaker 1: six thousand in grand stands. It's gonna be mostly down
Speaker 1: the straight away. The straightaway is awesome because, as I
Speaker 1: understand it, the straightaway heads them down Pennsylvania. It's directly
Speaker 1: towards the Capitol. That's the site in front of them,
Speaker 1: and that's super groovy. Oh and I'm sure that none
Speaker 1: of these drivers ever thought they'd get a chance to row.
Speaker 1: Of course DC. I think it's going to be something
Speaker 1: that appears on the schedule. It could be a time
Speaker 1: to time one right, They're gonna have to work out,
Speaker 1: as he's talking about the economics with DC to make
Speaker 1: this happen. DC should want to make this happen. And
Speaker 1: this shouldn't be political. We have a Democrat as president.
Speaker 1: They should also want to see this happen. One thousand percent.
Speaker 1: This is a lot of fun looking forward to the
Speaker 1: race on Sunday. Check it out before yourself. Much more
Speaker 1: to get to on Tony Katz and this is Tony
Speaker 1: Katz Today. Find everything at Tony kats dot com. It
Speaker 1: is pretty exceptional when they prove your point, isn't it
Speaker 1: Like you're saying something about the people you disagree with
Speaker 1: politically or culturally, or some thought that you have, and
Speaker 1: then someone comes from out of nowhere and improves your
Speaker 1: point and you're like, ha ah, that's the best. That
Speaker 1: is the best. When all the planets are aligned and
Speaker 1: everything's with you. Well, this is the case with the
Speaker 1: communists in a progressive and a democratic party. Everything is
Speaker 1: aligned that what they are has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: what they say they are. Tony Katz, Tony Katz Today
Speaker 1: an absolute pleasure. We're the party of working people. We're
Speaker 1: the ones who really care. It's those evil Republicans who
Speaker 1: are trying to destroy democracy. They embrace communists, but we're
Speaker 1: the ones who want to destroy the constitution. We want
Speaker 1: to destroy democracy. They have embraced a group of people,
Speaker 1: these communists, known as the DSA Democratic Socialists of America,
Speaker 1: which is of course a lie. It's just a name
Speaker 1: they call themselves. It forces you to call them socialists
Speaker 1: as if there's a difference, and there's not. There's not.
Speaker 1: It's just a question of how far down the road
Speaker 1: you've gone. Whether you're at the first mile or you're
Speaker 1: at the twentieth mile, you're still on the road. You're
Speaker 1: still a communist. That's the end goal. That's where the
Speaker 1: socialist goes. Always, always, always, always, always, Now, if you
Speaker 1: want to argue with the Europeans, Sis and the Europeans
Speaker 1: that none of these people are Europeans, boo boo, they
Speaker 1: want Castro, they don't want Macron. Come on, let's at
Speaker 1: least approach the subject with honesty and clarity. They are
Speaker 1: big tent on the communists, and we have said so,
Speaker 1: we have discussed this clearly, and every time you turn
Speaker 1: around they prove it to you. Maybe it is the
Speaker 1: actual communist. Angie Nixon who's won the Democratic nomination for
Speaker 1: Senate in Florida. Maybe it's her talking about prisons, and also.
Speaker 3: Like that, like's not radical, it's not extreme to want
Speaker 3: to make sure that we in for profit prisons. What's
Speaker 3: wrong with that?
Speaker 1: Because all they want is cheap labor or free labor.
Speaker 3: Modern day slavery, right, Like, there's nothing wrong with wanting
Speaker 3: to end those There is no wrong with wanting to
Speaker 3: make sure that people have the things that they need
Speaker 3: to live a decent, high quality life.
Speaker 1: To go from for profit prisons to free healthcare, free this,
Speaker 1: free that, free the other. See how they connect these things.
Speaker 1: These things are very different things. One could argue about
Speaker 1: whether or not we should have for profit prisons while
Speaker 1: still recognizing the importance of needing prisons because there are
Speaker 1: people who have broken the law, but they can't say
Speaker 1: that because they don't believe in breaking the law. They
Speaker 1: are the ones who want to defund the police, and
Speaker 1: the big ten Democrats say, come on in, So every
Speaker 1: conversation they have about prisons is actually part of a
Speaker 1: larger conversation, and every conversation they have leads to a
Speaker 1: conversation about why somebody else should give to you somebody
Speaker 1: else has to care for you, somebody else has to
Speaker 1: provide for you. This is who they are. This is
Speaker 1: exactly the conversation that takes place from Ed Markey, who
Speaker 1: is the Democrat senator from Massachusetts. He's running in the
Speaker 1: primary against Democrat Congressman Seth Moulton, also a wild leftist,
Speaker 1: a wild wild leftist, and Ed Markey, who is the
Speaker 1: guy who brought you the Green New Deal. His argument is,
Speaker 1: we're not going left enough. We have to be more progressive.
Speaker 4: Senator Marky, it is clear the Democratic Party is at
Speaker 4: an inflection point right now. What's one way your party
Speaker 4: needs to course correct in the next Congress.
Speaker 5: Our party has to become more progressive. We have to
Speaker 5: stand up for what the people are talking about. Pat
Speaker 5: the grassroots, especially young people, they support Medicare for all.
Speaker 5: They know the healthcare system in our country is a
Speaker 5: sick care system.
Speaker 1: They want to fix up. They want a Green New Deal.
Speaker 1: They want to take but I've.
Speaker 6: Already let on and they want to build it even
Speaker 6: bigger because they know we can reduce greenhouse gases, lower prices,
Speaker 6: and employee union workers. All at the same time they
Speaker 6: want their free transit.
Speaker 1: So now we need free buses as well. You need
Speaker 1: universal health care, which means you lose all control over
Speaker 1: your medical future. Doctors become slaves. It's exactly what it means.
Speaker 1: And also free buses. Catch what he did, just like
Speaker 1: you heard the communist Angie Nixon discussing that the candidate
Speaker 1: from Florida, she started with for profit prisons. It ends
Speaker 1: with everybody deserves free stuff. He starts with green new deal,
Speaker 1: does the Senator, and he ends with free buses. It's
Speaker 1: never about the subject, it's about all of it. The
Speaker 1: objective is you pay for them. You don't control you.
Speaker 1: They control you. It's not because I say so, it's
Speaker 1: because they say so, and they've said it twice. And
Speaker 1: what do I say about it? You gotta love it
Speaker 1: when that happens. I mean, you don't love them. They're
Speaker 1: all just backcraft crazy. But how easy it is to
Speaker 1: take a look at what they're saying, listen to what
Speaker 1: they're saying, and then share it with friends and say,
Speaker 1: good lord, look how easy that is. Look what they're about.
Speaker 1: And while that's happening. Chuck Schumer, the leader of the
Speaker 1: Senate Democrats, he's all sorts of welcoming. I wonder if
Speaker 1: you know what your take is. You know, you have a.
Speaker 7: Sort of surprising offset in Florida right with the candidate
Speaker 7: who certainly more to the left of you know, the
Speaker 7: pundit it back by you know, folks like you, What
Speaker 7: do you make of this rise in DSA and with
Speaker 7: then what that can mean for.
Speaker 8: This Well, we're a big ten party and you know,
Speaker 8: not everyone has the same exact view on every single issue.
Speaker 8: But if you look at the overall issues, the costs
Speaker 8: that people pay, the chaos in the Trump administration, you
Speaker 8: see it daily.
Speaker 1: This is not the story. This is what he wants
Speaker 1: to be the story. The story is here is the
Speaker 1: leader of the Democrats saying, we embrace this communism, we
Speaker 1: embrace this radicalness. It's not that they want to do
Speaker 1: away with for profit prisons. Is that they want to
Speaker 1: do away with prisons and cops. It's not that they
Speaker 1: want a green new deal. It's that they want total
Speaker 1: control over your life, including your air conditioning, how much
Speaker 1: you drive. And also that's why you get the free bus,
Speaker 1: free buses, you don't have to drive. Every time you
Speaker 1: see a conversation about road diets and they're taking away lanes.
Speaker 1: We need more bike lanes, We need more of this.
Speaker 1: This is about trying to get less cars on the
Speaker 1: road every single time. That's the way it works. In
Speaker 1: their world. They have more control and you have less choices.
Speaker 1: Every single time. The answer is why aren't you doing
Speaker 1: more for them as opposed to them doing more for themselves.
Speaker 1: Thereto who was describing this, oh, I forget her name.
Speaker 1: She was talking about locus of control. Have you ever
Speaker 1: heard the expression before? Locus of control? So, locus of
Speaker 1: control is the idea of whether or not you think
Speaker 1: you have control over your own life. Right, So it
Speaker 1: goes back to the fifties, right, locus your place. It
Speaker 1: comes out of the Latin. Do you believe that you
Speaker 1: have an internal capability to control your life or do
Speaker 1: you believe that it is external forces that control your life.
Speaker 1: It's a good question. And actually this this is a
Speaker 1: it could be seen and I've been it's it's been
Speaker 1: well over a year now. I have been stuck in
Speaker 1: a struggle about nature versus nurture. And you say to me, Tony,
Speaker 1: you're weird. I admittedly true, right, fact, if you've met me,
Speaker 1: I am I'm I'm not a bro and I have
Speaker 1: a hard time browing out. The other last weekend I
Speaker 1: actually spent I like UFC. My kids crazy about UFC,
Speaker 1: so I definitely watch UFC. And I did you know
Speaker 1: or in the early days, and I do now. But
Speaker 1: I'm not somebody who hangs out with a group of
Speaker 1: guys and does this. And I've tried this a couple
Speaker 1: of times. It's not. I am hard in that way,
Speaker 1: Like I don't. I have a hard time just relaxing
Speaker 1: out and growing out. I did it this past weekend.
Speaker 1: I was very impressed. I was very impressed on this album.
Speaker 1: Like I can brow out. I was still wearing a
Speaker 1: button down shirt, but I can brow out. Dang it.
Speaker 1: I this nature versus nurture thing I get. Maybe not
Speaker 1: everybody thinks about this stuff. I do get that, but
Speaker 1: I think I think maybe secretly more people do than
Speaker 1: they realize. When I look at my own kids, when
Speaker 1: I look at myself, am I a product of the
Speaker 1: nurturing I got? Or am I born in this way?
Speaker 1: How do these things move? And a lot of this
Speaker 1: has come from my kids, and you know, my kids
Speaker 1: are pretty solid, well adjusted kids. I'm very thankful. I'm
Speaker 1: fortunate in that way and very often when you discuss
Speaker 1: things they're doing and what's going on, people will say, what,
Speaker 1: it's because you raised them?
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't take that like it just it
Speaker 1: doesn't hit me right because to take that, I mean
Speaker 1: they mean it as a confid It's a kind thing
Speaker 1: to say. I get it, but I can't tell you
Speaker 1: it was me, And I can't even tell you it
Speaker 1: was my wife, although she's pretty fantastic. Don't I give
Speaker 1: the credit to them? And am? I am? I really
Speaker 1: focused on giving the credit to them because I didn't
Speaker 1: necessari come from a place where the credit was given
Speaker 1: to me. They there was a desire to sometimes take
Speaker 1: credit for things. So I've heard other people say, well,
Speaker 1: that's the way we raised them, and that's what about them.
Speaker 1: I automatically gravitate to that. But I am curious, is
Speaker 1: it nature? Is it nurture? What is the mix? This
Speaker 1: locus of controlled conversation is in that same mix, in
Speaker 1: that same vein what is happening in your life? Is
Speaker 1: that your responsibility? Or is that because of external forces?
Speaker 1: The conservative sees their locus of control internally and the
Speaker 1: liberal sees the locus of control externally. And there was
Speaker 1: an argument being made that when it comes to concepts
Speaker 1: of happiness, those with an internal locus of control, they
Speaker 1: are happier people. I believe that to be true. We
Speaker 1: have had this exact conversation when it comes to transgender madness. Well,
Speaker 1: you have to let them do this. You have to
Speaker 1: let them take drugs, you have to let them get
Speaker 1: chemically castrated, you have to let them have these these
Speaker 1: disgusting mutilation surgeries. And you have to buy into pronouns
Speaker 1: and do this, otherwise they're going to do self harm.
Speaker 1: All this will not bring them happiness. Happiness comes from within,
Speaker 1: not from without. I have said that on the show
Speaker 1: a million times, being a guy who has battled depression
Speaker 1: and was suicidal for swassa of my twenties. It comes
Speaker 1: from within. One thousands percent resolve these things, being resilient,
Speaker 1: being able to persevere. These are good things, right. This
Speaker 1: is a bit of stoicism for sure, but that's where
Speaker 1: it comes from. By the way, nine eight eight, that's
Speaker 1: the suicide hotline now, nine eight eight. I never had
Speaker 1: to call. I never did call, and maybe I should
Speaker 1: have at the time. But if you need to call,
Speaker 1: do that. You're absolutely worth it. You are you are
Speaker 1: in control of your life and you can control it.
Speaker 1: Go do that. Eight is the number. Happiness comes from within.
Speaker 1: We've discussed this a million times. That isn't the way
Speaker 1: the left works. Their entire philosophy is that it must
Speaker 1: come from others, it must be provided to you. Therefore
Speaker 1: you are dependent. Now, the thing about dependence. Oh and
Speaker 1: I've got more proof of the madness of the party
Speaker 1: because the thing that kicked me off was Rokana. But
Speaker 1: I'll get to that another time. The thing about dependence
Speaker 1: is that once you put yourself as dependent, you no
Speaker 1: longer have the ability to change what it is you
Speaker 1: are dependent on. It can change, you cannot change it.
Speaker 1: You would have to break away, and that's outrageously difficult.
Speaker 1: That's the horror show of dependency. If you are dependent
Speaker 1: on government for food, right, free this and free that,
Speaker 1: and then the ration become smaller and smaller. What are
Speaker 1: you supposed to do if you complain, Well, you're the
Speaker 1: problem that everybody is. This is what everybody gets. Why
Speaker 1: do you think you're special? Oh, you want to go
Speaker 1: out and create and do that on the backs of
Speaker 1: other people and exploit them. What kind of person are you?
Speaker 1: That's what happens. They don't create a world where things grow.
Speaker 1: They create a world where things shrink. They create a
Speaker 1: less then, and the most, the thing that most is
Speaker 1: created less than is the most the shrinks is your
Speaker 1: own soul, your own capability, your own capacity, your own desires,
Speaker 1: your own wants, your own inner strength gets reduced to nothingness.
Speaker 1: And now you're totally dependent, and now you can't think.
Speaker 1: And that's when you realize that Atlas Shrug is a
Speaker 1: very good book. This is where they're going. This is
Speaker 1: who they are. I shouldn't say this is where they're going,
Speaker 1: This is where they want us to go. This is
Speaker 1: who they are. They admit it, they're clear about it.
Speaker 1: Their own words show it. This is what the communism is.
Speaker 1: Do you want to be dependent on others or do
Speaker 1: you want to depend on yourself? Faith in others is
Speaker 1: one thing? Dependent on yourself is everything? You are the
Speaker 1: capable one. That's the message. It's a better message for
Speaker 1: young people, it's a better message for old people. It's
Speaker 1: a better message for America. You are capable, and these
Speaker 1: communists don't think you are. Don't give them any power.
Speaker 1: Whatever you do. This is Tony Kats today. Find everything
Speaker 1: I do over at Tonykats dot com. So the Iranian president,
Speaker 1: that's Pozzeshkian. I haven't heard his name in a while.

Speaker 1: saying so. It was a speech in front of the

Speaker 1: That's a translation of the text. And he took a
Speaker 1: look at hardliners and criticized people quote sitting outside the
Speaker 1: circle because they do not know the state of the government,
Speaker 1: the state of the parliament, and the state of the commanders.
Speaker 1: They make commitments and analysis even though they have not
Speaker 1: experienced an He's suffering our hardship and then they talk
