A lot of people don't know this about 16 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: southern California, but oftentimes where I live by the beach, 17 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: it starts out gray and cool and gets sunnier through 18 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: the day. And also if you come here in December 19 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: or January, you're going. 20 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 2: To be cold. 21 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: You're not going to be cold like you are in 22 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: Indianapolis in December or January, but it's not as warm 23 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: here as people think it. 24 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: Is, so always exercise caution, check the weather. 25 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: We have so much news to get to today. 26 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: I can't I barely know where to start. 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: I mean, let me just run down a number of 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: the I mean news is going on right now while 29 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: I'm on this mic, and let me just run down 30 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: what we've got to go over today. Trump stop by 31 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: the UN this morning or this afternoon and ripped it up. 32 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: We are going to be talking about some of the 33 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: things he said at the UN. He definitely looks like 34 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: a different man to me. I think we're all different. 35 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: After laying Charlie to rest over the weekend, and yeah, 36 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: I think we're all different. And I think Trump definitely 37 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: reflected that. So we also have autism. Trump made announcement 38 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: about autism yesterday. We'll talk about that. Jimmy Kimmel, what else? 39 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: Secret Services has floiled a plot. They found thousands of 40 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: tech devices of devices, that's what they said, bones and 41 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: devices in and around the UN last night. 42 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 2: We'll talk about that. 43 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is on the book tour, y'all. I ordered 44 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: this book. It hasn't come yet. I didn't ask for 45 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: a press copy ahead of time. I probably should have 46 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: done that. I'm dying to read this thing. Don't judge me. 47 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: Yes, I bought it. It's a book. 48 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: I love books, and I want to read every horrible word. 49 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that, and then we'll talk about 50 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: Antifa and the President designating Antifa and as os. We're 51 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: going to talk about just the absolute meltdowns that are 52 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: going on on the left, about all of it. 53 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: And I want to. 54 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: Say this that when when Charlie was murdered, I spent 55 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: two a couple of days, two or three days even 56 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: watching CNN and MSNBC. Those are always the two channels 57 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: I turned to when there's crisis because I want to 58 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: know how they're reporting. When I want information, I go 59 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: to X or I go to news Max, or I 60 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: go to Fox, or I go to other channels when 61 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: I want real information. But when I want to know 62 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: what the left is saying, and I always do in 63 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: really extreme crises like losing Charlie, I go to CNNNMSNBC. 64 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: So I sat on those channels for two days. 65 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: I just watched them, and I was really impressed with 66 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: how seriously they were taking the whole thing. And as 67 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, they aired the entire Memorial Service 68 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 1: on Sunday start to finish with no interruptions, and they 69 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: really were. You could see that the anchors were affected. 70 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: I definitely believed that. And they talked a lot, and 71 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: you know, they were still being liberals. Don't get me wrong, 72 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: they were still being liberals about it. But they talked 73 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: a lot about lowering the rhetoric, the temperature, the heat, YadA, YadA, YadA. 74 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: And I thought, for one second, I thought to myself, 75 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: maybe this is it, Maybe this is where they get 76 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: it now. I don't expect them to become Republicans, and 77 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: I don't even expect them to suddenly go, we've been 78 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: wrong this whole time. 79 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: You guys are right. I don't expect that. But I thought, 80 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: maybe they are. 81 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: Really they're going to honor their observation, which is we're 82 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: just too heat it. And that lasted about twenty four hours, 83 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: and then the gloves came off. 84 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: And this all connects to. 85 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: This Kimmel thing, and we're going to talk about there's 86 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: been a new development in the Kimmel story. It all 87 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: connects to the Kimmel thing because what happened on the. 88 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: Heels of their melted by the way, I want to 89 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 2: say this. 90 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: I keep thinking the left has a bottom, keep thinking 91 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: that this is the time where we have reached the bottom, 92 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: and they keep proving to me that they have no bottom. 93 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: And I can't believe that I am naive enough at 94 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: fifty one years old to keep falling for this. But 95 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: I just to keep using this term. I can't believe 96 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: that people would be so obtuse. I'm just really struggling 97 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: with it. I have a lot of things to say 98 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: about the degradation of the left, but they really are 99 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: surprising me. But in the follow up following in the 100 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: aftermath of Charlie's death, the Kimmel thing popped up and 101 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: they did what the left this is their only playbook. 102 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: Now I'm writing a series on it on my substack. 103 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: By the way, you can go to just Kia Davis 104 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: doffsubsec dot com. Did I say my name at the 105 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: top of the show, I don't know. It's Kia Davis. Everybody. 106 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: You can go to just Kira Davis and you can 107 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: see a series I've written. It's called the Beyonce Campaign. 108 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: I actually started it during Kamala's campaign and I was 109 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: talking about how fake it was, and there was even 110 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: this fake idea that Beyonce was going to show up 111 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: at the DNC and give Kamela this little. 112 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: Boost, and she never showed up. It was all rumor 113 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 2: and innuendo. 114 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: And I wrote an article about how that's that symbolic 115 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: of Camela's entire campaign. It is all rumor and innuendo. 116 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: It turns out that that has become a little bit 117 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: of a series. Megan Markle released her Weird lifestyle show 118 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: and I felt like that was another stab at authenticity 119 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: that just looked fake. And then the Gap ad came out. 120 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: The Gap Ad, the Gap Jeans ad. If you haven't 121 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: seen it, it's a response to the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad. 122 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: It's good enough, it's nice, lots of pretty girls in 123 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: it again, but it's just fake. It's a it's just 124 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: a cheap fake, a cheap version of the original. 125 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 2: And that's all the left has now. You'll know. 126 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: Last time I was on the show, I Know, I 127 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: talked about Gavin Newsom in California, what he's doing with 128 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: his press accounts aping Trump. He's trying to copy Trump, 129 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: he's trying to like Trump. It's a strategy, but it's 130 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: a cheap fake. That's what this whole Kimmel thing is 131 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: we lost Charlie. It was a huge loss that changed 132 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: the world. I believe we're only in the beginning the 133 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: nascence of this martyrdom. 134 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: We really are. 135 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: It's going to be decades before we see how this 136 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: has really affected us. 137 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 2: But they noticed, right. 138 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: Obviously, they saw that as a sea change moment. And 139 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: they're all scared because they are all losing their grip 140 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: on the culture. And what does the left do. They 141 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: can't create, they can only copy, they can only imitate. 142 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: They need a sacrifice. We have Charlie. They need a sacrifice. 143 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: So when Jimmy Kimmel got let go, that was their sacrifice. 144 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: But because democrats have no depth and because progressives have 145 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: no souls, they don't know how to pick a leader, right, 146 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: they don't know how to pick a martyr. 147 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: They don't understand it. 148 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: So the martyr is not the millionaire television host who 149 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: you know has to stay home for five days in 150 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: his mansion. 151 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: That that's not the martyr. The martyr is the man who. 152 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: Got shot and killed for standing up for his civil 153 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: rights and your civil rights. But they nonetheless they made 154 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: Jimmy their martyr. That okay, that's the hill they're going 155 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: to die on. And they and they, they protested. Right 156 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: while we were gathering having vigils for Charlie, praying for Charlie, 157 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: praising God, expressing our faith, they were protesting. 158 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: They were organizing. 159 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: They were stealing our gospel songs and twisting the words 160 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: of them to fit whatever their stupid narrative. 161 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 3: Was. 162 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: Is that's what they were doing while we were while 163 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: we were donating money to TPUSA, sixty two thousand new chapters, 164 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: opening people being organized and motivated to not only pray 165 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: with each other, but to go to church and to 166 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: organize for a political action at the ballot box. That's 167 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: what we were doing. What were they doing. 168 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: They were tearing down Charlie Kirk memorials. 169 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: They were posting horrible, nasty comments, they were making up cartoons, 170 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: they were saying the most horrible things about him. 171 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: That's their cheap fake of our authentic movement. Jimmy Kimmel 172 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 2: is their sacrifice and ABC is the cross that they 173 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: pinned him to. And it's absolutely absurd how seriously they 174 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: are taking this. 175 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: But this is what they do. They have no bottom. 176 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: We should stop treating them. Maybe this is a message 177 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: to me. I bet a lot of you and the 178 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: audience have already gotten here. Forgive me for being slow 179 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: on the uptake. Maybe it's time for us to stop 180 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: treating these people like their bottom that they're gonna get to. 181 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: We're just waiting to hit this bottom. We've been doing 182 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: it and maybe that's the theme for today's show. There 183 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: is no bottom and we're done looking for it, so 184 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: we keep thinking. You know, if they hit the bottom, 185 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: we'll stop and then we can start the rise back up. 186 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what, We're gonna go to a break. 187 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 2: But when we come back, I'm gonna I'll tell you 188 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: what Trump went to the UN today, and basically what 189 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 2: he said is screw. 190 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: The bottom, We'll do it ourselves. That's basically what he said. 191 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: And I think that that's a message for America. Let's 192 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: take a break. I'm Kia Davis feeling in for Tony 193 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: Katz and you're listening to Tony Katz Today. Welcome back 194 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: everybody to Tony Katz Today. I am your guest host, 195 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: Kia Davis filling in for Tony Kats. I just got 196 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: right off to a start at the top of the show. 197 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: Didn't give you any of my info case you want 198 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: to go find out who I am. 199 00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 2: Sorry about that. 200 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: I got excited. There's so much used to talk about today. 201 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: Go find me on x at real Kira Davis. That's 202 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: k Find me on Instagram at just Kira Davis, just 203 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: Kia Davis. You'll find me on Facebook if you just 204 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: search my name, it'll pop up. There's a lot of 205 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: Kia Davis is out there, surprisingly, but anyways, that's where 206 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: you can find me. Go to my substat by my 207 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: book drawing lines why Conservatives must begin to battle fiercely 208 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: in the arena of ideas. It's actually more relevant than 209 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: ever I wrote it in twenty twenty two. 210 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 2: It's predictive, it's prescient. 211 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: It's about getting off your butt and getting in the 212 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: game because we're losing the culture there and we're not 213 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: going to be able to negotiate our way out of it. 214 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 2: We just got a battle. I wasn't as hardcore then, right, 215 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 2: I got radicalized that day Charlie got shot. 216 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: Now I'm hopeless. But I was a little softer then, 217 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: so it might be a little more enjoyable read. If 218 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: I wrote that book today, it would probably sound a 219 00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: bit more vengeful. We're taught speaking Avengeful where I wanted 220 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: just to drill down on the Jimmy Kimmel situation just 221 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: a few more minutes, and then. 222 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 2: I want to move. 223 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: This is all connected, but I want to move to 224 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: Trump at the un But the Jimmy Kimmel thing is interesting, 225 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: as I was saying before the break, because it's like 226 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: a cheap fake of what we're doing on our side. 227 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: They need a savior to rally behind, but because they're 228 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: also shallow, the only savior they can find is a 229 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 1: millionaire talk show host who has done nothing, who has 230 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: done nothing. 231 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: But in the. 232 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: Break, I was reading a little blurb someone posted on Substack. 233 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: By the way, if you're not on the substack app, 234 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: it's a great app. 235 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 2: If you're just. 236 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: Tired of the entire mainstream news complex and you want 237 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: to go find news and opinion or opinion or news 238 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: that has opinion in it from a variety of perspectives 239 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: on a variety of topics. 240 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 2: Substack is the place to be. 241 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: It really really is, and their social media app is 242 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: really getting good. 243 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 2: So I just found this one. 244 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting in light of what we 245 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: heard from Brendan Carr the FCC chairman. That caused all 246 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 1: this confusion. I didn't think it was that confusion confusing. 247 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: What he said was just to recap quickly. I know 248 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: Tony's already talked about this, so you are already educated, 249 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: but just to recap quickly. Basically, what he said is 250 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: it's right, it's okay to take Jimmy Kimmel or shows 251 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: like that off the air if they're breaking the public interest. 252 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: There's a public interest clause in FCC bylaws and FCC rules. 253 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: Excuse me, and you know, maybe we need to take 254 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: a look at what other stations or what other shows 255 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: are doing in the name of or or against the name. 256 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: Of pu of the public interest. That's what he said. 257 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: So that caused a lot of confusion. Now, the reason 258 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: why it caused confusion is that. 259 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 2: Nothing he said is a lie. Everything he said is true. 260 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 2: Why it causes. 261 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: Confusion is because we simply don't talk about it, we 262 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: simply don't enforce it. 263 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,359 Speaker 2: So we have trained ourselves as a society to believe. 264 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: That some of these rules are antiquated or some of 265 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: these things are just notions. And as conservatives, we were 266 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: guilty of that too. Not because we don't care or 267 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: believe in those things. But A because liberals have told us, 268 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: you know that you're just being silly, you're just being crazy, 269 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: You're just being you're bringing up ridiculous things, that censorship 270 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: that you know, accused of all kinds of things. 271 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: So we've backed off from the public square. 272 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: In more ways than one. That's what my book Drawing 273 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: Lines is about. And that's something we're facing right now, 274 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: isn't it. So we've backed out of the public square 275 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: on that issue. But then, of course the other thing 276 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: is we want to be careful with it because the 277 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: FCC had been used against guys like Rush Limbaugh and 278 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: other conservative broadcasters over the years and had basically killed 279 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: conservative media until Russhi Lundba came along. So we've got 280 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: all kinds of reasons for sort of just looking away 281 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: and not insisting on this sort of is a regular 282 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: part of public conversation and a regular part of the 283 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: public consciousness. 284 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 2: For instance, you know that when you. 285 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: Turn on one of your three letter general broadcast stations 286 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: like NBC or ABC, you're not going to hear cousting 287 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: in it. 288 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 2: You're not gonna hear f bombs in it. 289 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: Right, FCC regulates that, and because they regulate it, and 290 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: because they enforce that rule. You you may not have 291 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: ever heard of the FCC, but you know that you 292 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: can't say the F word on normal TV. 293 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: You know that it's part of the public consciousness. 294 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: So we need to get this idea of the public 295 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: interest back in the cycle. Okay, So all that said, 296 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: I read this great little blurb from Jonathan Leaf l EAF. 297 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: Kimmel is neither the looks and charm of Jimmy Fallon 298 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: nor the comedic chops of Stephen Colebay. His self righteous 299 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: political stances are just another reason why audiences have abandoned him. 300 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: This brings us back to his nineteen member writing staff. 301 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: In order to make a statement that was both so 302 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: hypocritical and so dumb, it stands to reason that everyone 303 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: on the staff must have believed in what he was saying. 304 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: In a high stake situation like the aftermath of the 305 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: Kirk assassination, the whole staff was being called upon to 306 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: assist in crafting the best monologue possible by contributing whatever 307 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: they could. Then no one spoke up and said that 308 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: Kirk wasn't killed by a conservative, but by a crazed leftist. 309 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: Tells us that no one, not a single person around 310 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: Kimmel knew this. Kimmel's staff of nineteen writers is it 311 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: seems exclusively made up of MSNBC viewers and Nation magazine readers, 312 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: leftists living in an echo chamber. 313 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 2: And that is the problem. 314 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: And when Brendan Carr is talking about the public interest, 315 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: what he is saying is, yes, you're just a late 316 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: night show. Yes you're just the Daily Show or whatever, 317 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: the Emmys broadcast, whatever, You're just those. But if you lie, 318 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: if you are so insulated that you don't have any 319 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: semblance of fact checking, and that you openly lie, and 320 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: the lies you tell aren't just about oh, this celebrity 321 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: wore a green dress when she wore. 322 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: A blue dress. 323 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: But the lies you tell are about the American people, 324 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: and they are the kind of lies that make people 325 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: scared and fearful of each other. 326 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 2: That is incitement. That is not in the public interest. 327 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: So Trump, awkwardly, in his Trump style, says, I've never 328 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: had no president has ever had more bad publicity than me. 329 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: Maybe we need to look at the networks. That's not 330 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: Trump going. I don't like it when people say mean 331 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: things about me. 332 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 2: That's him going. 333 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: There's something really wrong with the coverage. It is completely 334 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: one sided. And if you're a new pro especially, you're 335 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: supposed to be giving Americans information to educate and inform them, 336 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: because information is knowledge, information is key, information is power. 337 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 1: You're supposed to be empowering the American people. But when 338 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: you deliberately obscure fifty to seventy five percent of every story, 339 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: deliberately obscure the facts to drive people to the conclusion 340 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: you want, that absolutely is not in. 341 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 2: The public interest. 342 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: And therefore, I believe rending car is right and President 343 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: Trump is right. Kimmel does fall under FCC rules if 344 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: they so chose to exercise those. Of course, that's not 345 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,239 Speaker 1: what happened. ABC was the one that yangd Tim and 346 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: we were another evidence of another lie from the lying 347 00:18:55,040 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: left because Jimmy Kimmel is back on and so apparently 348 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: the FCC doesn't have the power to pull him. Next 349 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: Star Sinclair Media's you Know, the partner company in airing 350 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: shows like Kimmel, has also come out and said they 351 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: are preempting Kimmel. They will not air him on their stations. 352 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: They'll be playing local news programs as well. ABC is 353 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: airing Kimmel, but the affiliates are starting to drop out. 354 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: We'll talk more about it when we get back. I'm 355 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: Kira Davis filling in for Tony Katz, and this is 356 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: Tony Katz Today. Welcome back, everybody to Tony Katz Today. 357 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: I'm your guest host, Kira Davis filling in for my 358 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: good friend Tony Katz. Go find me on exit Real 359 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: Curate and Davis. We've been talking about Jimmy Kimmel and 360 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: the fake outrage of the left. 361 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 2: Here's the statement from Next Star Now. 362 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: I said at the end of the segment, as we're leaving, 363 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: case you missed it. Next Star is another distribution company 364 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: like Sinclair Media likes in Clare Media. They have said 365 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: they are not going to carry Kimmel's show, even though 366 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: Disney is bringing it back. Here's their statement. We made 367 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: a decision last week to preep Jimmy Kimmel Alive, following 368 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: what ABC referred to as mister Kimmel's ill timed and 369 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: in sensitive comments at a critical time in our nation's discourse. 370 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: We stand by that decision pending assurance that all party 371 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: this isn't important. This tells you exactly what Jimmy's going 372 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 1: to do. 373 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 3: Tonight. 374 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: We stand by the decision pending assurance that all parties 375 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: are committed to fostering an environment of respectful, constructive dialogue 376 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: in the markets we serve. In the meantime, we note 377 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: that Jimmy Kimmel Alive will be available nationwide on multiple 378 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: Disney owned streaming products, while our stations will focus on 379 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: continuing to produce local news and other programming relevant to 380 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: their respective markets. So it's clear to me that Jimmy 381 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: and this should be no surprise to any of us 382 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: at this point, as I just talked about it in 383 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: the first segment, that Jimmy is going to double down, 384 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: that he's going to double down. 385 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 2: Now, there's always room. I talk for a living. 386 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: When you talk every day, your guy like Tony Katz, 387 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: who talks for six hours a day, I don't know 388 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: how he does it. 389 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 2: I'm just a girl. 390 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: Can't do it, but he You know, you talk every 391 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: day for hours on end. 392 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 2: It's just a numbers game. 393 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: At some point, something weird is going to come out 394 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: of your mouth or not very well expressed or awkwardly expressed, 395 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: or even just playing wrong. 396 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 2: You know that happens, and you got to deal with it. 397 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 2: So I'm willing to make room for that. But we 398 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 2: all saw the comments. 399 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: We all saw the comments, and you can go back 400 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: and replay them. And it wasn't just that it wasn't 401 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: a joke. There was no there was no room for 402 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: sort of like I'm setting a joke up and maybe 403 00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: I've got these facts wrong. 404 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 2: But it wasn't like that. 405 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: It was it was just this declarative I've read that 406 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: thing to you before from Jonathan heat Leaf. 407 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 2: It's just this declarative thing. 408 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: All the writers he has, nineteen writers, every one of 409 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: them believed the story that it must have been a 410 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: MAGA shooter so wholly and completely that not a single 411 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: person stopped to say, maybe we should massage this quote 412 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: unquote joke. 413 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 2: It was absolutely insane. 414 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: It was an accusation, right, and an accusation that was 415 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: already known to be wrong at the time he said it. 416 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: But it is certainly wrong now, very wrong. So at 417 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: least at this point he could. 418 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 2: Say, hey, I messed up. 419 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: I wasn't checking the news cycle before I did my monologue, 420 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: and I didn't have the fact checkers on it, and 421 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: so the joke was bad. But he's not going to 422 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: do that. He's going to double down. So these people 423 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: are getting everything they deserve. It doesn't matter if Jimmy's back. 424 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: I wrote about this on my sub sec It really 425 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. The damage is done. I mean, somebody's got 426 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: to do it right. We need somebody to make fun of. 427 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: So fine, bring Jimmy back. But he's still a loser. 428 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: Trump is right, he's right about everything. He's right about that. 429 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: He's still a loser. He's lost his entire audience. Usaidea 430 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: has been propping up the late night market for god 431 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: knows how long, and it's collapsing. Because that money has 432 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: collapsed people, it's not relevant anymore. It doesn't speak to 433 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: people where they are. Authenticity is the currency of this 434 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: current culture and celebrity Hollywood culture is super super fake. 435 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 2: That's the name of that game. He has nothing. 436 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: They have nothing, as evidenced by their weak attempt to 437 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: make Jimmy Kimmel their crucified savior. Let's move on to 438 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. He showed up at the UN today. All right, 439 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: this man, maybe we should have dressed to his speech 440 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: on Sunday. And I'll talk a little bit about that, 441 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: because it's six and one half a dozen of the 442 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: other for people off the top. I'll tell you I 443 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: didn't mind it. I didn't mind it. 444 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 2: Anyways, that was a long day. I can't imagine what 445 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: it was like to be there. 446 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: I know a lot of you made the checkout to 447 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: Arizona to share in that. And I have heard from 448 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: people that I've known personally who are there as invited guests, 449 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: and they said that they were just overwhelmed by the 450 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: number of people and the support, and they were so 451 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: happy to see everybody sacrifice to come out like that 452 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: just to pass that along. But there was emotional weekend, 453 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to say. And I think I 454 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: think that plays into a little bit of the muddiness 455 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: of Trump's autism announcement, which we're going to talk about 456 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: next hour. 457 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 2: But also I just think he is raw. He's raw. 458 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: You know, Charlie was his friend. He wasn't just a supporter. 459 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: Charlie was his friend. And all of this is because 460 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: of this of the Trump era. And it's not Trump's fault, 461 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: because he's right. You know, the bullets are for us. 462 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: They're not for them, they're for us. They're standing in 463 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: the way. But even still a man like that will 464 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: take that as a burden. So he all that to 465 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: say he's done everybody, He's finished. So he decided he 466 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: was going to show up to the UN today and 467 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: give everybody what for. I watched as much as the 468 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: speech as it could before I had to come and 469 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: get ready for the radio show. So I asked our 470 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: producer to pull whatever clips he could find. I have 471 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: not listened to these clips by It doesn't matter what 472 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: clip it is. He was burning it up, So just 473 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: give me a clip. 474 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 2: Land on whatever you got. 475 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 3: In Western countries and their borders. In twenty twenty four, 476 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 3: the UN budgeted three hundred and seventy two million dollars 477 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 3: in cash assistance to support and estimated six hundred and 478 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 3: twenty four thousand migrants churning into the United States. Think 479 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 3: of that, the UN is supporting people that are illegally 480 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 3: coming into the United States and then we have to 481 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 3: get them out. The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation, 482 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 3: and debit cards to illegal aliens. Can you believe that 483 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 3: on the way to infiltrate our southern border? Millions of 484 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 3: people came through that southern border. Just a year ago, 485 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 3: Millions and millions of people were pouring in twenty five 486 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 3: million altogether over the four years of the incompetent Biden administration, 487 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 3: and now we have it stopped, totally stopped. In fact, 488 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 3: they're not even coming anymore because they know they can't 489 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 3: get through. But what took place is totally unacceptable. The 490 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 3: UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them, and 491 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 3: not finance them. In the United States, we reject the 492 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 3: idea that mass numbers of people from foreign lands can 493 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 3: be permitted to travel halfway around the world, trample our orders, 494 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 3: violate our sovereignty because unmitigated crime, and deplete our social 495 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 3: safety net. We have reasserted that America belongs to the 496 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 3: American people, and I encourage all countries to take their 497 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 3: own stand in defense of their citizens as well. You 498 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 3: have to do that because I see it. I'm not 499 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 3: mentioning names. I see it, and I can call every 500 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 3: single one of them. You're destroying your countries. They're being destroyed. 501 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 3: Europe is in serious trouble. They've been invaded by a 502 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 3: force of illegal aliens like nobody's ever seen before. 503 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: If you could just see the faces of that star 504 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: Wars Cantina set up there while he was talking, Sour 505 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: doesn't even begin to describe it furious, embarrassed, angry, indignant, 506 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: and of course. 507 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 2: He's absolutely right, and they know he's right. They know 508 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 2: he's right. These people are completely captured. 509 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: They know what they're doing is wrong, but they are 510 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: helpless to free themselves from the chains of wealth and 511 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: bribery and influence. 512 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 2: And they're just in so deep. 513 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: I honestly believe they want a guy like Trump to 514 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: pull some strings and throw his muscle around and force 515 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: them to do some things. They are so weak, empathetic. 516 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: He's absolutely right. This is a breaking point. When I 517 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: first started in this job, that would have been during 518 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: the Obama administration in about twenty ten. 519 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 2: When I first started doing this work, we. 520 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: Were talking about immigration, how bad it was, and the 521 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: conversation really was revolving around racism and bigotry. And that's 522 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: been the conversation. And we are longer in a space 523 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: where we're having that conversation. 524 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 2: The left keeps trying to have it. 525 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: The rest of us are done, even Europeans are done, 526 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: and Trump is getting that. He's done too. We're all done. 527 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: Why do we have Why do we have the un 528 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: on our shores? Let's talk about that when we get back. 529 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: I'm Cura Davis filling in for Tony Katz and you're 530 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: listening to Tony Kats today. Welcome back, everybody to Tony 531 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: Katz Today, Tuesday, September twenty third, twenty is out. I'm 532 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: your guest host, Kira Davis, coming across the wires in 533 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: the break. Jimmy Kimmel's first guest tonight was rumored to 534 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: be in California. Governor California, my home state where I'm 535 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: coming to you from Gavin Newsom. That was supposed to 536 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: be his friend. Now, that would have been very appropriate 537 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: because of all the things I've been talked about today. 538 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is doing his Trump light routine, and they're 539 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: pretending that Jimmy is some sacrifice on the left. The 540 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: way that we have our sacrifices on the right would 541 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: make total sense. But just now, Ashley Zavala, who is. 542 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: One of the only honest reporters mainstream reporters in California, 543 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 2: posted that Gavin is not indeed, he is not going 544 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 2: on Kimmel. He's actually going. 545 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: To appear on the Colbert Show tonight on Colbert's Show, 546 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: and so she said, it's been reported as Kimmel but no, 547 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: it's Colbert. 548 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 2: Now, that's what Ashley is saying. 549 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: I guarantee you that he was going on Kimmel, he 550 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: would have squashed that rumor. Yet those rumors have been 551 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: flying around since yesterday morning. His office would have corrected 552 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,959 Speaker 1: that if it weren't true he was going on Kimmel. 553 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: But Kimmel, as we've talked about, this show is not 554 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: coming back to Sinclair Media stations or now to next 555 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: Our stations. 556 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 2: This basically means there might be a few. 557 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: Stations out there, but this basically means that Kimmel's show, yeah, 558 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: is getting reinstated, but it's only going to be streaming 559 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: on Disney services, and we know the numbers for Disney 560 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: streaming it's not great. So guarantee, I guarantee you that 561 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: Newsom got the news and switch targets because yeah, he 562 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: has no no moral backbone. And I also think that 563 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: his I believe his press secretary is going to be 564 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: on Meet the Press this week. 565 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 2: She's doing some big show that she absolutely should not 566 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 2: be doing. 567 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: I want to pivot again back to the UN discussion 568 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: and the United Nations and should we have the United. 569 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 2: Nations on our shores? 570 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: And we've had this discussion off and on over the years, 571 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: and one argument for keeping them on our shores, it's 572 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: also an argument I happen to agree with, is that 573 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: it's it's better to, you know, keep your enemies close 574 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: kind of thing. If we don't fund and host the UN, 575 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: they'll go somewhere else, and then we really won't have 576 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: much control over the things they do. And say, we're 577 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: going to have a lot, a lot less influence, I guess, 578 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: less power. 579 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 2: It does put us in a position of authority to 580 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 2: be the seat of global governance. So I get that. 581 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 2: But just in keeping of the theme of. 582 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: Today, which there is no bottom, they're never going to change, 583 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: and the inn keeping. 584 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 2: With Trump's I think slight attitude shift. I mean, man 585 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 2: never changes that much, but you could see today is 586 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 2: just absolutely all the way done. 587 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: I think that maybe it's time to consider kicking the 588 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: UN out. 589 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 2: I know, I agree that there are some downsides to that. 590 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: I definitely agree to that it is helpful to have 591 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: this global body housed in our country because it gives 592 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: us some measure of authority. But as president, as you 593 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: heard from Trump speaking, excuse me, we have no authority 594 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:57,959 Speaker 1: at the UN. 595 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 2: They do nothing for us. 596 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: In fact, the UN is basically a giant spy agency. 597 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: All those people have diplomatic credentials, they spy, they commit 598 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: crimes here, They bring in family members that commit crimes. 599 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: They abuse that UN system so much the UN itself. 600 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: Removing the UN from New York City, I believe would 601 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: remove a lot of crime that we have going on, 602 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: both at the petty level and at the white collar level. 603 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: I truly believe that. But we've got another clip of 604 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: Trump here. Let's play this one real quick. We're talking 605 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: about the wars that he's ended, and just what the 606 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: hell has the UN done for us? 607 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 2: Anyway, go ahead. 608 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 3: I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of each 609 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 3: and every one of these countries, and never even received 610 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 3: a phone call from the United Nations offering to help 611 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 3: in finalizing the deal. All I got from the United 612 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 3: Nations was an escalator that on the way up, stopped 613 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 3: right in the middle. If the first lady wasn't in 614 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 3: great shape, she would have fallen. But she's in great shape. 615 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 3: We're both in good shape. We've both stood. And then 616 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 3: a teleprompter that didn't work. This is These are the 617 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 3: two things I got from the United nations, a bad 618 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 3: escalator and a bad teleprompter, thank you very much. 619 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 2: He's a builder, like the escalator better be working, y'all. 620 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: This guy built half of New York City and then 621 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: the teleproperter doesn't work. He doesn't like things that don't work. 622 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: He is a very particular man. Have you ever seen 623 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: him set himself up for an interview? There's some fascinating 624 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: video out there of him and just like, no, the 625 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: glass goes here. Maybe we need the coaster under the 626 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 1: water glass. Maybe not, maybe this, maybe that. You can 627 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: look at that and see it as shallow, or you 628 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 1: can look at it as a man who pays attention 629 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: to detail and wants everything perfect because he believes that's 630 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: what he deserves. 631 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,760 Speaker 2: But also that's what he believes the America people deserve. 632 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 2: We don't deserve whatever slop the UN is giving us. 633 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 2: They just take advantage of us. They take advantage of. 634 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: Their ability to come and park it in our country 635 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: and enjoy the wonderful benefits of capitalism, and then they 636 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: do nothing but past resolution after resolution against Israel and 637 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: sometimes America. I think it's time for the UN to go. 638 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: We're done with all of this. We're not negotiating anymore, 639 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,479 Speaker 1: and they do us no good. I'm Kira Davis filling 640 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: in for Tony Katz, and this is Tony Kats Today
