WEBVTT - Episode 4687: Tony Katz Today Hour 3 - 08/21/26 0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:10.800 Live from vall Hartbeiner and the Crossroads of America. It's 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:15.520 Tony Katz today. So her name is Jessica, and she's 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:20.200 just your friendly neighborhood. ISIS inspired terrorist? I mean, that's 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:24.560 who she is. That's what happened. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:26.840 Good to be here, Good to be with you. Her 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:30.760 name is Jessica Bowie. She's thirty five years old, charged 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.120 in a criminal complaint that was followed in the Northern 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.839 District of New York for attempting to provide material support 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:43.040 or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization. Here's the 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:52.080 story she plotted after repeatedly pledging allegiance to ISIS and 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:56.360 started communicating with an FBI confidential source posing as an 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.560 ISIS facilitator. Now, I want to make sure this connects 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.800 to something we discussed yesterday with Noah Rothmann of National Review. 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:09.200 The amount of things that are interdicted, plots damaged, that 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.280 is trying to be done to the United States by 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:15.000 the Iranians. That number is overwhelming. He is correct, and 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.560 it was a solid point. Is a very very large number. Constantly, 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:23.320 the Iranians are trying to do damage to us, So 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:27.440 are others, and so are those who are aligned with 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.039 the others because they've decided we're evil. This is not 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:36.080 something new. It's that the ability to radicalize and doctor 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.200 and pick your word has become so much easier, as 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.120 you know, because of social media. It's so much easier 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.200 to target people, isolate people, and make them come over 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:49.160 to this evil and to this hatred. So here you 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:54.240 have this woman who reached out, How can I do this? 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.920 How can I do this? America is so terrible? So 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.280 an FBI, I mean, this is what they do. We 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.160 always talk about when they get it wrong. Sometimes they 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.760 get it right, and they deserve our respect. Posing as 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.960 the source, posing as an ISIS facilitator, does this FBI 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:15.240 confidential source. So Bowie starts discussing attacking the capital in 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:20.359 Albany and asked for assistance making explosives. Here's the quote. 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.600 I would like to target the state capital and do 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:28.560 something to benefit the UMAH and harm the enemies of God. 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.200 Now you understand that Jessica Bowie, in my view of her, 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.359 looking at her photo as a white woman who converted, 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.960 she decided this is where the future is. How any 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:45.080 woman could make this move to a conversion to Islam. 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.280 It's something I cannot fathom nor understand. Now you can 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.280 argue me it's none of my concern. I guess you 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.960 could argue that radical Islam is my concern, considering it's 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.760 a political system and it is not a religion, and 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.799 it radicalizes people, and it believes it. Everybody in every 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.440 part of society has to live under their rules. Yes, 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:08.280 that part concerns me. Someone making a conversion, I can't 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.480 say I can stop them. I can argue that I 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.720 don't understand it. And I admit to you clearly without 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:20.240 any reservation, that I women, especially in a society under 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.320 a scheme that is absolutely oppressive of women. And no 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.519 one can deny nor debate. You want to say the 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.360 United States is appressive of pressive of women, stop that 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.440 the United States is not oppressive of women in the 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.880 slightest cannot say the same thing about Islam. It is 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:44.120 oppressive of women, and women voluntarily going that way. There's 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.560 a whole there's an issue there, which is to say, 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.640 what actually drives someone to that? Is it the idea 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.720 of why does anybody join the gang to begin with? 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:58.640 It's a concept of purpose, it's a concept of loneliness. 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.360 And in this case, I won't be a I mean sure, 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.120 I'll have to do this, that and that. I'll lose this, 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:04.920 this and this, and I won't have this freedom, I 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.840 won't have this life, but I won't be alone anymore. 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.360 Let us not pretend that the mind is an easy 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:16.960 thing to understand. We are people who support freedom, and 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.080 we are people who support concepts of liberty. Right, which 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:24.120 is the idea of certain basic guardrails. Because the freedom 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:28.760 society in Toto, that becomes pretty rough. Having rules of 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.600 the road that everybody understands. Right, here's the world in 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.520 which we live. These are the guidelines of this rule 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.360 that allows everybody to operate freely. But it still has 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.400 a set of rules. If we were to have total freedom, 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.560 you wouldn't have the set of rules. Then there are 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.119 sets of rules that are oppressive. Some people, I guess 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.960 like more oppression than others. So she wants to target 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:54.440 the state capital. Her plan was to go after state 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:59.200 senators in New York and then try and catch carry 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.240 out future attack against the White House and Times Square. 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.000 During an August fifth meeting with FBI sources she believed 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.640 were connected to ISIS, she said the most important part 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.599 was ensuring that the senators were killed. Then talked about 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.040 going after the president, saying it could be pursued in 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:23.200 the future. Not only did she convert to Islam, she 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.920 worked to promote Islam on social media. And then the 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.320 investigators say she bought the material she believed would be 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.600 used for an explosive device, and then wanted to buy 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:39.040 a concealed handgun so she could shoot back if police 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:43.080 approached during the operation. For the record, this is a 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.560 very heavy set woman with what I would assume are 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.039 zero physical capabilities whatsoever. I think if she tried to 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:52.800 reach for the gun, she would fall down and not 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:57.799 be able to get up. On August nineteenth, she paid 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.120 one hundred and fifty dollars for an inert firearm, magazine 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:05.960 and ammunition and was shown an inert explosive device. Right 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:10.200 they fed all this to her. Now, one could argue, 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.800 so did they set her up? No, that does not 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.920 seem to be the case whatsoever. She was an isis 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:23.880 devote because she is lost and she reached out. And 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:29.320 who was there for the reaching out? These informants, these sources. 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.200 It part of it does play I guess a little 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.560 bit sick like, my gosh, you gotta play along with 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.160 these people, and then you gotta gotta bring them in. 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.200 They're already started in this direction. Hey, how do I 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.120 kill state senators in New York? Was the question this 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.800 woman was asking. That's clearly where she wanted to go. 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:54.520 Those are the conversations she had. Now, if you argue 0:06:54.880 --> 0:07:01.160 that there are people within a law enforcement who are 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.000 engaged in trying to rope people in, well we've heard 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.520 those stories before, and I would favor going after those 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:12.000 people in trapping people. That's something that we deal with. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:17.680 This is not that this is exactly what we know 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:23.160 to be. This is a group of people. It's certainly 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.920 always liberal white women. Don't get me wrong. Liberal white 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:33.600 women are a problem. But unhappy people, dangerously sad people, 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.400 people who are easily manipulated, people who believe that somehow 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.120 things could be better if they just murder all of 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:45.800 these people. And this is where the Islamist lives and breathes. 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:50.640 Because the Islamist believes this. Do we need to look 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.520 any further than what we see out of the Iranian regime? 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.640 The answer is no, not in the slightest. We don't 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.640 need to look any further than this. We simply have 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:08.000 to say to ourselves that we are amongst dangerous people, 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.960 people who can be indoctrinated, people who can be swayed, 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:20.520 people who can be mentally what's the word manipulated, destroyed, ripped, 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:26.000 apart used, however you want to describe it. We have 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:30.920 that all over and this isn't going to end quickly. 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.480 It's not going to end overnight. One of the things 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.680 that this shows us is that the only way ounce 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.839 is through. We have said this before on many different occasions. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.440 This doesn't end with a snap of the fingers. Hey, everybody, 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:47.640 stop being a moron. Isis is evil. It doesn't stop 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:51.000 with that. This only stops over time if we make 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.920 it stop, if we are clear in our assessments of 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.200 who is in the wrong, and Islamist are always in 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.440 the wrong because what they desire is wrong for Western civilis. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.200 They want us destroyed. How many more ways do you 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.600 have to see it? We have to fight them with 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.640 everything in us, where they are, wherever they are, and 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.520 we have to win. When we talk about where you 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.560 send your kids to school, when we talk about indoctrination 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:16.520 stuff and culture stuff, this is what we're talking about. 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.560 This is what we have to combat. This is what 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.920 we have to fight, and it's going to mean a 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:25.480 little bit of fighting ourselves, but that's what it's going 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:29.360 to take. It's the only way out. The only way 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.559 out is through. Keep it here. This is Tony Kats today, 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:37.240 Freedom two fifty. Because the celebration of America is not over. 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.360 I don't know how this happened. It's like everybody's got 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.880 to Independence Day and said, okay, the celebration of two 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.040 hundred and fifty years of America is over. No no, no, no, 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.079 no no. The signing of the declaration was only part 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.040 of it. It's all the work we did afterwards deserving 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.760 a celebration as well. And this is still the celebration year. 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.360 Tony Kats. Tony Kats today. Great to be with you. 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:02.200 And one of the cool things going on is Freedom 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.319 two fifty the Grand Prix in the streets of DC. 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.240 This is an IndyCar race. And if you've never seen 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.680 an IndyCar race, all right, I'm biased because not only 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.880 am I in Indianapolis, the home of the Indianapolis five hundred. 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.600 For the last ten years I've been the I've been 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.880 able to do the pre race coverage I do five 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.839 hours of pre race coverage here. It is one of 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.600 the coolest things I get to do. You do it 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.240 from the track, And one of the great things I 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.559 get to do is you know things are getting set 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.560 up and you're there early. Because this is a broadcast. 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.560 It starts at five or six am, depending on the year, 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.360 and so I'm there at like like three thirty in 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.439 the morning and everything's just starting to get set up 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.520 and I get to have a cigar right next to 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:46.120 the track. Every year, Oh I get I won't even 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.240 tell you the places I get to have a cigar from. 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.920 It is so cool. And then like a few hours later, 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.480 it's got three hundred plus thousand people in it. It's 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.600 a small city, it's it's a large city. It's incredible 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:58.880 how cool it is. An Indy Car is very cool. 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.320 And this year, because well, Trump and Roger Penske, who 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:06.440 owns the series, very very close. Penske also owns the 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.360 Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which is a site to behold, and 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.360 they decided to do an IndyCar race in DC and 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:16.280 they are doing this with a Freedom two fifty. They're 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.720 calling it the Grand Prix. Incredible. Doug Bowls. I spoke 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.800 with him earlier. He's the president of not only the 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.920 Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which is an incredible task in and 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.640 of itself, he's the president of IndyCar, great and illustrious 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:34.160 history in IndyCar, all sorts of ways. He's a great mind, 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.679 and so I caught him as they're gearing up for things. 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.960 He was there with the President and the first Lady 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.000 just yesterday, and he called me today and he's standing 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.479 there right there in turn one of this road course. 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.120 Standing at turn one on the racetrack, looking at our 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.640 nation's capital and then down the long front straight away. 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:53.760 It's just going to be an amazing event to see 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.120 the twenty five IndyCars out here running for two hundred 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.000 and fifty miles to celebrate our two hundred and fifty 0:11:59.040 --> 0:11:59.880 anniversary country. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.520 I ever done anything like this before. 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:02.800 Obviously we've done street. 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.839 Races, but this one has been a bit of a. 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.200 Challenge, just trying to put everything together, so many agencies 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.080 to work with. But I think people will love the imagery. 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:11.840 I think the racing is going to be fantastic, and 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:12.440 I know all. 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:13.280 Of our drivers can't wait. 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.760 We've got a beautiful seventy five pound trophy that's outstanding 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.280 that somebody, somebody is going to come it almost like 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:19.160 a Border Warner. 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.360 Trophy at some level. Yeah, we're going to say almost 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.280 We're going to keep that at it Almost there. 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.440 Yeah, for sure, that's why. That's why I put almost there. 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.679 You had an Indie car on the metro system, it 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.560 was put on a train, it was driving through and 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.720 you had posted about it. Like, if you had told me, 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.240 as a kid, I would see this moment, I wouldn't 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.000 have believed you. This is a surreal kind of thing 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.560 that's taking place. It's really surreal. 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.880 You know, all of the when we made the announcement 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.400 and we kind of talked about it and had some 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.440 images of what it might look like, and even seeing 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.360 the track being built over the last few weeks until 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.160 I got here and you walk around. It really is 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.640 a surreal moment to think that we've got a racetrack 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.040 just in the shadow of the Capitol and the Washington 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.880 Monument on the other side. It's Yeah, as a kid 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.240 who's grown up loving in our history of our country 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.800 and all of those pieces and actually working a part 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.280 time out here at some point in my career, Yeah, 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.120 there's no way I would have ever believed this was 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:08.640 going to happen. 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.320 Talking to Doug Bowles, the president of Indy Car, You've 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:16.319 got the Freedom two fifty coming up in DC. Now, 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:21.400 I love this course. There's seven turns. I think it's 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:26.480 seven right, Yes, okay. It isn't the most intense road 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:31.199 course that you've got out there, but how it travels, 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.720 it doesn't seem like there's a bad seat in the house, 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:38.280 and that's straightaway that heads down towards the Capitol. It's 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:45.199 a remarkable, remarkable visual as a part of the race, right, 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.920 as a part of the whole series. What is it 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.840 that the drivers are saying about this course. 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.280 I think really what they're saying about the course itself 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.680 is just really the location. So it is a little 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:59.120 bit unique in the sense that it's really a bunch 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.160 of ninety degree corps with a little sweeper, like a 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.079 little left right as you come out onto the short 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.440 main straight away that we have here. So in terms 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:11.400 of technically, it's not the most technical road course, but 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.760 to fit something in Washington, DC, this is really the 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.079 only way we had it. What the drivers are saying 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:19.080 is it's going to be so quick one point seven 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.080 mile circuits. It's going to be physically taxing. 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.480 It's going to have a lot of high speeds. 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.720 So I think they're excited about it and that they're 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.200 all trying to figure out where it's going to be 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:28.960 the best place of the past and are what's the 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.360 strategy going to be for a long street race like 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.000 this the longest street race in our history at two 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:35.840 hundred and fifty miles. 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.760 So and it does it does look like there's a 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.520 real chance for speed. Some of these straightways are fantastic 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.880 with turns, as you said, not too brutal. There also 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.760 doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.880 if you're coming to watch this race from wherever you 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.840 are around the mall, you've got a vantage point for 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.960 Indy Car and for introducing the sport maybe to people 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.880 who aren't used to the sport, and certainly in DC 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:05.400 they've never seen anything like this. What has that opportunity 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.280 been Like, Yeah. 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.320 The best part is just the opportunity for people to 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.240 be here and be part of it. And because the 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.600 racetrack goes around the National Mall, and you think about 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.840 the trees in the mall where we were unable to 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:17.200 put up. 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:17.920 A lot of grand stands. 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.240 You've got about six thousand grand stand seats, and then 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.000 people are going to have to move around and be able. 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.200 To see from different aspects. 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.080 But we have a ton of massive video boards throughout 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.600 the facility, so as people are here, they can also 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.080 keep up with the race through the video boards that 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.440 are going on. I think it's just going to be 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.480 one of those when you see those images of events 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.120 on the National Mall with people just crammed together, just 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.400 enjoying whatever it is that's going on. I think that's 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.880 the feeling that people are going to get and just 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:45.520 really looking forward to, looking forward to celebrating with all 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:46.360 the people that are here. 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.560 Talking to Doug Bowles, the president of IndyCar and the 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.200 Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and of course you were there yesterday 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:56.360 the First Lady, Malania Trump announcing two million dollars for 0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:00.680 her Foster Youth program from Fox from IndyCar. Are you 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.680 and Purdue getting those dollars? Walk me through that project? 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.480 Yeah, it's a really cool project. Fostering the Future is 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.280 a program that the First Lady is really involved with 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.640 that really helps foster care kids through their whole journey, 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.080 but mostly focuses on when kids age out, when they 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.960 get emancipated at eighteen. And so for those kids, roughly 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.240 twenty thousand of them a year who don't who aren't 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.920 adopted right and then they just they time out of 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.400 the system and then there's nobody really there to help them, so, 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.480 especially education wise, and so one of the things that 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.320 Fostering the Future does is help transition to education. So 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:40.040 IndyCar and Fox we gave two million dollars to Fostering 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.320 the Future. Those scholarships will be used those two million 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.520 dollars at Indiana University in Purdue University to help foster kids. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.440 So we announced that yesterday in the Rose Garden, which 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.080 was pretty cool. I had an opportunity to speak there 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:54.280 in the Rose garden. Kind of it's a little intimidating 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.520 when you're standing at the podium and the rose garden 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:58.800 and then the front row looking and staring at you 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:00.440 as the President of the United States from the First 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.400 Lady and Roger Pinsk. But it was a pretty cool moment. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:05.720 Certainly a cool project for. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:06.440 Us to be involved in. 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:07.480 It is one of the things we love to do 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.879 in IndyCars is continue to give back and invest in 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:10.680 our youth. 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:15.560 Doug Bowles is his name, President of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.640 a president of IndyCar. The race is Sunday. What time 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:19.520 does this thing start? 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.480 You know, we will pre race on Fox will be early. 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.639 I think we started like ten o'clock. Is almost treating 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.159 it like an Indy five hundred pre race. And the 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.240 green flag will be shortly shortly right around twelve thirty. 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:36.120 And is there a possibility this race comes back to DC? 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:37.840 Is this something we can see more often? 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.240 What I love about this race is is as much 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.000 as people want to talk about this as President Trump's event, 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:45.880 and it really is, he allowed us to get this done. 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.400 But the Democrat mayor of DC loves us and she'd 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.000 love to come back. We'll just see how this thing goes. 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.240 It's a pretty expensive proposition. It's a five on one 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.160 C three charity we set up, so. 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:57.040 We're not making money on it. 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:00.720 In fact, we're investing dozens of millions dollars to make 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:02.680 this happen to celebrate our country's birthday. So we just 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:04.440 need to look at it afterwards to make a decision. 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.200 The mayor of d C, Muriel Bowser, and on this 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.000 she's been proactive. It's been kind of interesting to watch. 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:13.439 This is good for any city. Doug Bowles, president of 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.200 the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and of Indy CAR. I appreciate 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.159 you taking the time to be with us. This is 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.480 good for DC. And yeah, I think there's an excitement 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:25.080 that's it's not getting super reported on. I think there's 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.640 an excitement that's absolutely growing here in a big way, 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:31.119 that this is a cool event. It's gonna be a 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.040 lot of fun. I didn't know that about the grand 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:34.879 stands though. I thought, you know, I was looking at 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.080 the track and looking at the map, like there's a 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.480 lot of cool places to see this race from only 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.240 six thousand in grand stands. It's gonna be mostly down 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:45.879 the straight away. The straightaway is awesome because, as I 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:50.639 understand it, the straightaway heads them down Pennsylvania. It's directly 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.040 towards the Capitol. That's the site in front of them, 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.880 and that's super groovy. Oh and I'm sure that none 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.960 of these drivers ever thought they'd get a chance to row. 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:04.200 Of course DC. I think it's going to be something 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.880 that appears on the schedule. It could be a time 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.280 to time one right, They're gonna have to work out, 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:14.800 as he's talking about the economics with DC to make 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:18.520 this happen. DC should want to make this happen. And 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.800 this shouldn't be political. We have a Democrat as president. 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:25.400 They should also want to see this happen. One thousand percent. 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:28.840 This is a lot of fun looking forward to the 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:32.480 race on Sunday. Check it out before yourself. Much more 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.280 to get to on Tony Katz and this is Tony 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:39.760 Katz Today. Find everything at Tony kats dot com. It 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.280 is pretty exceptional when they prove your point, isn't it 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:45.520 Like you're saying something about the people you disagree with 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:49.040 politically or culturally, or some thought that you have, and 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.240 then someone comes from out of nowhere and improves your 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:56.840 point and you're like, ha ah, that's the best. That 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.280 is the best. When all the planets are aligned and 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:03.439 everything's with you. Well, this is the case with the 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:09.439 communists in a progressive and a democratic party. Everything is 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:13.119 aligned that what they are has nothing to do with 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.680 what they say they are. Tony Katz, Tony Katz Today 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.399 an absolute pleasure. We're the party of working people. We're 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.320 the ones who really care. It's those evil Republicans who 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:28.639 are trying to destroy democracy. They embrace communists, but we're 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.760 the ones who want to destroy the constitution. We want 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.520 to destroy democracy. They have embraced a group of people, 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:39.719 these communists, known as the DSA Democratic Socialists of America, 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:41.240 which is of course a lie. It's just a name 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:44.280 they call themselves. It forces you to call them socialists 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.680 as if there's a difference, and there's not. There's not. 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:49.720 It's just a question of how far down the road 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.560 you've gone. Whether you're at the first mile or you're 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.160 at the twentieth mile, you're still on the road. You're 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.600 still a communist. That's the end goal. That's where the 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.879 socialist goes. Always, always, always, always, always, Now, if you 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.200 want to argue with the Europeans, Sis and the Europeans 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.600 that none of these people are Europeans, boo boo, they 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:15.520 want Castro, they don't want Macron. Come on, let's at 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:19.959 least approach the subject with honesty and clarity. They are 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:23.639 big tent on the communists, and we have said so, 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:27.200 we have discussed this clearly, and every time you turn 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:29.919 around they prove it to you. Maybe it is the 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:35.520 actual communist. Angie Nixon who's won the Democratic nomination for 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:41.960 Senate in Florida. Maybe it's her talking about prisons, and also. 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:46.480 Like that, like's not radical, it's not extreme to want 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:50.760
