Okay, we got all 14 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: the housekeeping out of the way. I can't believe it's 15 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: Friday already, guys. I'm really struggling with the pace of 16 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: how this holiday season is moving. I'm sure you are too. 17 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: It feels like it's mirroring the pace of how the 18 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: political cycle is moving. Just everything's been moving at breakneck 19 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: speed this year. I feel like I just got used 20 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: to writing twenty twenty five on my checks and all 21 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: the dates, and now we're getting ready to move into 22 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, and twenty twenty six is going to 23 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: be a huge year for us. So we got to 24 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: do a few things as we wrap up this holiday season. 25 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: We need to tie up some of the loose ends 26 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: politically that we're dealing with. But then we need to 27 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: get on the same page about how we're going to 28 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: attack twenty twenty six, because I think what is I 29 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: believe what is going to happen. I believe the administration 30 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: when they say that a lot of things are going 31 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: to kick in in twenty six. The tariffs, lower taxes, 32 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: the big beautiful bill. We'll start to see some of 33 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: the cascading effects from the deportations, that kind of stuff. 34 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: I believe that. And yesterday Trump did something which I 35 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: think Tony's listeners in the Midwest and Indianapolis area particularly 36 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: will find interesting. But he released the auto industry from 37 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: the cafe standards. So they've taken the guard rails or 38 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: the handcuffs, I think that's a better word for it, 39 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: off of the auto industry. President Trump has and he said, 40 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: go make those cars. Go make all the cars you want, 41 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: Make the electric cars, make the diesel cars, make the 42 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: tiny cars. I didn't know we weren't even allowed to 43 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: build the tiny cars here. I thought that would have 44 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: been a Democrat fantasy. But for some reason, we couldn't 45 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: build the tiny, little pansy cars that have usefulness in 46 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: areas like let's say New York City or LA I 47 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't get in one, but they have a usefulness. We 48 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: weren't allowed to sell them here. I didn't know that 49 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: until President Trump said something. So we've released those cap 50 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: based standards. This means the auto industry not only are 51 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: they going to be able to increase production, but they're 52 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: also going to be able to offer vehicles at a 53 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: lower price. I saw the President Afford on the Fox 54 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: Business last night, and he said he predicts car prices 55 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: could drop as early as the beginning of next year. 56 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 1: He's feeling good about it. I think things like that 57 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: are going to shift the mood of the American electorate. 58 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: But if the Republican Party isn't prepared to catch up 59 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: to it, it'll be all for not. If they're not 60 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: prepared with the messaging, it's not going to make a difference, 61 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: It won't matter you and I know that the Republican 62 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: Party is the best at snatching defeat out of the 63 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: jaws of victory. And by the way we have we 64 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: have no assured victories in twenty twenty six. I'm afraid 65 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: we're going to have to scrape all the way to 66 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. Everybody. No one's going to get to 67 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: rest on their laurels. No one's gonna get to relax. 68 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: And we had some fun post election night in twenty 69 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: twenty four. We had some fun with the media. We 70 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: had some fun watching the meltdowns. It got a little 71 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: less fun after they took Charlie from us. It got 72 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: a little less fun. So now what we have to 73 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: do is buckle down. And I think I know a 74 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: lot of you out there have felt that perhaps we 75 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: did the hard work in November of twenty twenty four, 76 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: and then some of these other people, like the Charlie 77 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: Kirks or like the people that he worked with, his colleagues, 78 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: and maybe even people like Tony or myself. You might 79 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: look to those people and say, Okay, they've got it. 80 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: The talkers, the influencers, and some of the bigger politicians 81 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: I can go back to my normal life. But I'm 82 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: afraid it's not time yet. It's not time yet. Maybe 83 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: you can do it if we can pull out a 84 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: victory in twenty six, but I don't think we're going 85 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: to pull out any victories in twenty six if we 86 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: don't knew the filibuster. We need to do it. And 87 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: this is how crazy the news cycle is. This is 88 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: how crazy of a time it is. Because Kia Davis 89 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: three years ago, four years ago, you can go listen 90 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: to my podcast, my old podcast, just listen to yourself. 91 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: My new podcast is just Kira Davis, and I can 92 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: get a little more salty on that one. But in 93 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: my old podcast, just listen to yourself, you will hear 94 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: episodes of old Kia Davis admonishing Democrats, telling them don't 95 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: don't nuke this tradition. Now, the filibuster isn't necessarily built 96 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: into the Constitution, but it is a congressional tradition and 97 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: it has a good purpose, and it was instituted for 98 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: a good purpose during during the Civil War era, and so, uh, 99 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: you know, I would if you would have heard me saying, 100 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: don't do it because you're gonna you're gonna wish you 101 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: had it. You're gonna wish you had it. And we 102 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: did nuke the Philip Uster in Trump one point zero 103 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: so we could get his appointees across. For for some reason, 104 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: the Republican controlled Congress thinks that nuking at this time 105 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: would be a bad idea because if Democrats come back 106 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: into power, they'll just they'll, you know, they'll use the 107 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: same thing, but they're gonna nuke it anyway. There is 108 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: no scenario, there is none in which the Democrat Party 109 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: takes control of Congress in twenty twenty six and does 110 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: not permanently nix the Philibuster. There's no scenario. This is war, 111 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: and so whatever tools we have in our belt to use, 112 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: we have to use them. And the thing is, we're 113 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: not gonna win twenty twenty six and twenty twenty eight. 114 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: I'm telling you this. We're not gonna win those things 115 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: if we can't fix this rigged electoral system. I'm telling 116 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: you this as I sit here in southern California, a 117 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: state that is solely and completely corrupted electorally speaking. You 118 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: know this, I know this. We're battling. We've got a 119 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: gubernatorial battle next year and we could use the help 120 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: of Congress. We could use a federal ID, you know, 121 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: we could use some national voter ID. We could use 122 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: some juice here. We're trying to get a state voter 123 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: ID past here. We might be able to get it 124 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: on the ballot. We may be able to do it. 125 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: Looks like we're collecting the signatures. Carl de Miles out 126 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: there working hard. Benny Johnson has come in, and TPUSA 127 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: has come in. I'm not a person who really you know, 128 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: as an activist, it is it does make you a 129 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: little salty when the Johnny cum Lately's come in, you know, 130 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: at the last second, and then they get to have 131 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: all the credit for quote saving things. But at this 132 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: point I really don't care. We just we just need 133 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: to win. So bring all the Johnny cum latelies, bring 134 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: all the influencers. Candice is not welcome. Everybody else is welcome, though, 135 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, bring them all and let's get this done. 136 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: I we know here in California what we're up against. 137 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: We understand that the system is rigged. What we cannot 138 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: do is quit because it's rigged. That doesn't feel right. 139 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: A lot of people have already dropped out of the system. 140 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: Because of that. I understand that, but that doesn't it's 141 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: not right. It doesn't feel right, and we've got to 142 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: fight and we need help from the Feds. So we 143 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: need to nuke the filibuster because we need to be 144 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: really serious about what has to happen. You got to 145 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: nuke the filibuster, and then you pass all that stuff, 146 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: you pass everything, you know what? You know what, people, 147 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: if Republicans really wanted to get serious about changing America 148 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: for the good and for forever, eliminate the income text, 149 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: like just be bold, do you know what I mean? 150 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: We all have this mindset that just things can't change, 151 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: that this is just the way things are. But I 152 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: feel like when Trump got elected last year and then 153 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: he brought in and Doge, you know before they're big 154 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: blow up, watching the stuff that Elon was was uncovering 155 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: and then watching him provide solutions. We didn't necessarily take 156 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: all those solutions, but watching him say, hey, here are 157 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: ways we can improve this or we can stop this fraud, 158 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: it made you realize that we absolutely do not have 159 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: to live like this in any capacity, in any aspect 160 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: of your life. You don't have to live like this. 161 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: All that traffic that suddenly popped up in the last 162 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: decade in your city, in town. You don't have to 163 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: live like that. Half of it is illegal aliens, And 164 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: that's the truth they try to tell They try to 165 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: lie to us all the time out. No, it doesn't 166 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: matter if the population is growing, but population is not growing. 167 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: The immigration population is growing. Our birth rates are dropping 168 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: exponentially because not enough of y'all are having babies out there, 169 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: particularly white people. The birth rate are among white Americans 170 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: has crater. So you guys need, really, you guys need 171 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: to catch up to the rest of us out here. 172 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: I have I only have I'm supposed to have two 173 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: point three. I only have two, So I also have 174 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: failed in that aspect. But I have made it my 175 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: mission to encourage other people to have lots and lots 176 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: of kids, including my own. But we don't have to 177 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: live like that. You don't have to live with the 178 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: idea that going to the emergency room is going to 179 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: be a twelve hour, twelve thousand dollars proposal. You don't 180 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: have to live like that. That's because of all the illegals, 181 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: that's because of Obamacare. But it doesn't have to be 182 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: like that. It doesn't have to take your city government 183 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: eight weeks to approve a patch for a pothole. It 184 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: really really doesn't You know what the difference is, folks, 185 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: it's me and you and I know we don't want 186 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: that to be the difference. We want the leaders to 187 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: be the difference. We want the people we elected to 188 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: be the difference. Isn't that what we went to the 189 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: ballot box for. But the whole system's corrupted top to bottom, 190 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: even the way we recruit candidates. So it's really hard 191 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: to get strong candidates who stay strong when they get 192 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: the job. That means it's your job to make sure 193 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: they're doing their job. And I know it sucks, and 194 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: I know you hate it, but this is where we are. 195 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: We're at war and there are no everybody's got a 196 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: uniform on everybody does you're in it? You don't, We're not. 197 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: It's it's no longer in a situation where we're sending 198 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: our boys to the front lines. Front lines are in 199 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: our front yards. That means you can't relax right now. 200 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: It means you got to be vigilant and you've got 201 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: to be on the battlefront. And part of being on 202 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: the battlefront without necessarily being you know a big player 203 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: in the game, part of you, of you doing your 204 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: part where you are. It's pointing out what's wrong and saying, no, 205 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: we don't have to tolerate this. No, you don't have 206 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: to tolerate that mess that's going on on your city council. 207 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: You really don't. You don't. You don't have to accept 208 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: that all this fraud is happening. We need to change 209 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: our mindset. When we come back for break, I want 210 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: to talk about this. I think I talked about it 211 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: even a little bit the last time I was on 212 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: with you when I filled in for TONI, but I 213 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: want to talk a bit more about this new campaign 214 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: from the Department of Transportation under Secretary Duffy Fly Classy. 215 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: You know the idea of classing up travel, and I 216 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: know it seems ridiculous and it is on one level, 217 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: but I'm going to explain why it matters on another level. 218 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: So let's take a break. Don't go anywhere. I'm Cura 219 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: Davis filling in for Tony Kats and this is Tony 220 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: Katz Today. Welcome back, everybody, Happy Friday, Welcome back. You're 221 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: listening to Tony Katz Today. I'm your guest host Kira 222 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: Davis coming into Live from southern California. There's still some 223 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: decent people left behind the iron curtain here in California. 224 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: We were talking before the break about how we all 225 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: need to work together to change things. This is a 226 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: top two bottom approach. I actually spoke about it on 227 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: Fox News last week at the privilege of joining Handan 228 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: with guest host Jason Chaffitts, who's actually one of my 229 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: favorite guest hosts over there, and I told him, look, 230 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: we're talking about the autopen really, but what I said 231 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: was all of this has to happen at the same time. 232 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: Does everybody understand the extraordinary moment we are in history. 233 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: It's very risky. We are on a razor's edge right now, 234 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: and it really could go either way. But the flip 235 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: side of that is a really exciting time to be 236 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: alive because we're in a live We're alive at a 237 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: juncture right We're alive at a moment of fruition. It's 238 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: very rare that people get to live through that moment 239 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: where you see the effects of years and decades of 240 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: policy and direction and cultural influence all culminate into something 241 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: so drastic and so important here. But here we are, 242 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: and in this moment we can tip over either way. 243 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: And so the battle is not over yet. Where we're 244 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: all in it together, We've all got to do our part. 245 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: So that's what I was telling Jason Chaffits. It's top 246 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: to bottom. It's not just prosecuting the autopen absolutely has 247 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: to be investigated and prosecuted. People need to go to 248 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: jail for what they did to us. Americans need to 249 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: see some Democrats go to jail. We do, and we 250 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: need some big names. We need to see it. It's 251 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: not just that we want to see it, mister President, 252 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: we need to see it. If you're going to get 253 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: us across the line in twenty twenty six, we need 254 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: to see it top to bottom. It's got to happen. 255 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: It can't just be at the auto pen. It's got 256 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: to be the border. It's got to be the tariffs, 257 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: it's got to be the economy. But it's got to 258 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: be all the cultural stuff. We talked on the last 259 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: show that I hosted about the movies that Trump is promoting. 260 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: He's trying to get the Kennedy Center. He understands the 261 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: value of the culture. Well, the Department of Insportation has 262 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: launched this fly classic campaign, the idea of let's get 263 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: dressed up to travel, let's put a little more effort 264 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: into it. And Sean Duffy, Department of Transportation Secretary, somebody 265 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: who I've had the privilege of working with on Fox 266 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: News from time to time, and his wife as well, 267 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: And of course that was awesome because they're MTV royalty, 268 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: which is how I know them as a gen xer. 269 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: So I flipped out the first time I met Sean. 270 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: I really didn't have nothing to do with his politics, 271 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: but that's either here to ignore there. He's actually as 272 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: lovely in person as you would imagine him to be, 273 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: and he has been criss crossing the country promoting this. 274 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: He's been catching a lot of flat from Democrats saying, oh, 275 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: look at this problem going over here. But he wants 276 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: you to dress up. But there's a method to the madness. 277 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: It matters. I want to just play you this little 278 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: clips as we wrap up this half hour. But I 279 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: wanted to play this little clip. I might cut it 280 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: short of a comedian that our Department of Transportation Secretary 281 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: Sean Duffy posted today from the dot account, which I 282 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: think is really cute. But he says you know, listen 283 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: to this comedian no more Jammy's on the airplane. 284 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: Listen what is going on at the airport? Could we 285 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: put a dress code at the airport? It looks like 286 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 2: a slumber party. Do people care. 287 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 3: What they look like anymore? They just come out now 288 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 3: as is, they must roll out of bed and then 289 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 3: they're at United What. I'm not into this. I'm not 290 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 3: into casual. 291 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 2: I like the fifties, sixties people dressed up right. I'm 292 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 2: not into this whole casual. If you meet these people, 293 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 2: I'm comfortable and care what people think of me as 294 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 2: long as I'm comfortable. Yeah, I'm uncomfortable to air com shower. 295 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: I'm not into this. It's got to stop. When you 296 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,359 Speaker 2: go to the airport, when you see. 297 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: The world, the world sees you. 298 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 2: And now what we do. We sit down in the 299 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 2: plane and now we look to see what could astrophe 300 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 2: that's going to be sitting next to us for a fire. 301 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: But it's true, think about that, don't you do that? 302 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: When you're sitting on a plane, you're like, oh, I 303 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: hope the middle seat's open, but people keep coming and 304 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: maybe you know someone who's weighs a bit too much, 305 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: or someone who is sloppy or is eating smelly food. 306 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: You're wishing, you're hoping that person doesn't sit next to you. 307 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: But think about how that affects your mood though, right 308 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: the unkempt person who ends up plopping themselves next to 309 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: you makes you feel out of sorts and annoyed, even 310 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: if they might be very pleasant and nice personal personally, 311 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: and maybe you get to know them and then you 312 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: have a nice flight together, but still it sets everybody 313 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: on edge. The idea of dressing up to fly, which 314 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: is a horrible experience these days. I don't blame anyone 315 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: for wanting to be comfortable, but the idea of dressing 316 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: up to fly isn't just about changing how you think 317 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: about yourself, but it's how other people respond to you. 318 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: It It creates a chain of events. Does everyone understand 319 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: what I'm saying? I actually I had my daughter dress 320 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: up for Thanksgiving. I said, dress up to get on 321 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: the flight today. It's going to be really busy, it's 322 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 1: holiday season. You need every advantage you can't get through 323 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: the airports. And so she did. And when she got 324 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: home she was so surprised, she said, I couldn't believe 325 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: how much better I was treated going through the airport. 326 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: She's eighteen years old, she's young, she's cute, she's like, 327 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: got the whole package right, Just put on a cute 328 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: output and watch the doors open for you. And it did. 329 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: And you know what, this whole body positivity movement that 330 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: we've been doing, I'm not opposed to that. My family 331 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: isn't a bunch of stick fin figures. We're not models. 332 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to the idea of being comfortable in 333 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: how you look. But I think we have gotten away 334 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: from the idea of being proud of how you look too. 335 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: With the body positive movement, just trying to teach you 336 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: to be proud with whatever slop you've got going on. 337 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: And that's not pride, that's resignation, that's acceptance. And I think, 338 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: just to look back to how I started this segment, 339 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: you know, we cannot be resigned. We cannot be resigned Americans. 340 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: And that goes from top to bottom, whether we're talking 341 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,479 Speaker 1: about our border patrol policy or whether we're talking about 342 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: how you treat yourself and others when you get on 343 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: an airplane. You cannot be resigned to mediocrity. Now is 344 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: the time for greatness.

We've been talking so far this 363 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: morning about how everyone's got to do their part. Everyone's 364 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: got to get in the game here. This is a 365 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: war and twenty twenty six. You know, we're pulling up 366 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: on the end of this year. I don't mean to 367 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: bring everyone down in the holiday season, but twenty six 368 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: is coming up, and we need to start thinking about it. 369 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: We need to start thinking about what it means to 370 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: win America, that this isn't just about elections. Everybody's got 371 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: a job to do, everybody's got a part to play. 372 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: I want to ask you guys about this, this story 373 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: that I found, I followed this. I followed this saloon 374 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: on on X It's Idaho Saloon. It's the Old State Saloon. 375 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: They've been actually been getting into trouble for years on 376 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,479 Speaker 1: X when it was Twitter, I think they had their 377 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: accounts suspended. They're very vocal about the well, they were 378 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: very vocal about COVID. I think they stayed open through COVID, 379 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: and then they were very vocal about the illegal immigrant issue. 380 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: And I don't know who owns it, but they're definitely 381 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: like hard to the right, and they've been protested by locals, 382 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: they've been docked, they've been sued, they've been and they 383 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: just it's just pushed them further and further to the right. 384 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: They've just dug in well, one of the things they 385 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: are doing now is offering a program where they offer 386 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: free beer, free beer to anyone who reports on illegals 387 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: and who informs ICE of any illegals in the area. 388 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: I got this little report from Lives of TikTok. Let's 389 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: just play that. 390 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 4: Ryan Spoon, the so called first winner of Old State 391 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 4: saloons a month of free beer promotion, told Idaho New 392 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 4: six he filed that tip believing the man he reported 393 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 4: worked for Michelson's farms. 394 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 5: Basically, I repeated Representative Stephanie Mickelson's state House Representative Mickelson, 395 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 5: she gave public floor testimony on the floor of the 396 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 5: Idaho State House in twenty twenty four. I believe it 397 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 5: was where, in her own words, she said that quote 398 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 5: every food processor in the state unquote hires illegals. 399 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 4: Michelson, whose family employs hundreds of workers, says she decided 400 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 4: to speak now to let others know she thinks the 401 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 4: saloon's promotion is despicable. 402 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 5: If we start targeting people based upon the color of 403 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 5: their skin, that we really have a big problem here. 404 00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 4: Immigration attorneys warned that programs like this hamley to false accusations, 405 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 4: targeting of Hispanic workers, and misuse of federal agencies. 406 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: Tell me what you guys think, Go hit me up 407 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: on xach Kara Davis. But I I'm on the fence 408 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: about this. It seems a little mean spirited. But I'm 409 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: going to tell you what I think. Americans are all 410 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: out of compassion. I think we're spent. I say this 411 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: as a dedicated, committed Christian who understands that as a 412 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: part of our faith we are tasked to care for 413 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: the wary and the needy, the poor and the widowed. 414 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: So for someone like me to say this, you must 415 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: know that we are at the end of our ropes. 416 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: And it's not about cruelty. It really isn't, although it's 417 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: tempting to be cruel and to sound cruel, and sometimes 418 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: I do, and sometimes the people I talk to and 419 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: hear talk about this do. But again, I just think 420 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: we're all out of compassion. I actually a podcast on it. 421 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: You go over the check that out at Joskira Davis 422 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: or go to my subsec. That's the best way. My 423 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: subsec is just Cure Davis dot com. And it's like 424 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: all of my articles, all of my recordings, media appearances, 425 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: just everything in one place. But I talked about this, 426 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: and I said, look, I do I think Americans are done. 427 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: Every story that you see about in illegal you know, 428 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: getting arrested at the airport because I have the audacity 429 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: to travel by air in the era of real ID 430 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: knowing you're illegal. Okay, but whatever, you know, we see 431 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: stories about them getting picked up at the airport or 432 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: separated from their families, and they don't resonate anymore. Maybe 433 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: the true blue, sold out progressives are weeping over, but 434 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: the rest of us are going no, we don't want 435 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: to live like this anymore. I told the story about 436 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: my my friend, my lovely friend, who got red pilled 437 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: through COVID. I'm starting to call it COVID pilled because 438 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people got there. Here in California, a 439 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,239 Speaker 1: young mom in her thirties. She's very conservative and very 440 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: much a Republican now, but she was telling me, look, 441 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: I have I have reservations about the way Trump is 442 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: attacking immigration. I do think we need the importations, but 443 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: it's unrealistic to think we can deport everybody. And what 444 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: about people like my housekeeper, whom I love, who is 445 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: a wonderful person. She's not legal, but she's been here 446 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: for thirty years, raised her son here, he's actually in 447 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: the military, and they're both huge Trump supporters. And I 448 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,239 Speaker 1: love her, you know, and she's a great American. She 449 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: loves this country and she loves the President. I feel 450 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: like there's got to be a path for those people. 451 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: And I heard what she was saying. I did. I 452 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: heard it, But as she is speaking, as her thirty 453 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: something south was speaking to my fifty world self, I 454 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: was thinking, honey, you just got here, and you don't 455 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,959 Speaker 1: know that We've already had this conversation a dozen or 456 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: more times, and we've acted on it. We've passed act 457 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: after act and after Amnesty, the Dreamers Act. We've done everything, 458 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: and every time they swear this is it, We're gonna 459 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: make this path, and then it's solved. We're never worrying 460 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: about this again, and it doesn't happen. So while I 461 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: feel while her maid, her housekeeper, sounds like a lovely 462 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: person and has done everything that we would hope an 463 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: immigrant would do, assimilate or raise a good, productive citizen 464 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: who serves as country. While she's done all of that, 465 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 1: she still is here illegally, and thirty years is a 466 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: long time to never work it out. At what point 467 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: are we responsible for the decisions that other people make? 468 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And that's where Americans are. Yes, 469 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: we feel for everybody else in the world. We're deeply 470 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: grateful to be Americans. We're not idiots. You know the 471 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: blessings we have here in our country. If I didn't 472 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: live here, I would be doing everything I can to 473 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: get here. I did do everything I could to get here. Thankfully, 474 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: I immigrated from a country that wasn't too difficult to 475 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: immigrate from or to live in Canada, so it wasn't 476 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 1: that difficult, and I had an American father that helps, right, 477 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: But I wanted to be here, and I led a 478 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: pretty decent life comparatively speaking to the rest of the world. 479 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: So I can't imagine living in the third world country 480 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: and seeing the jewel that is America, and I can't 481 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 1: imagine what that's like. Of course, you would want to 482 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: get there. We understand. It doesn't mean we have to 483 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: let everybody in here. We cannot sustain it. We can't 484 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: be who we need to be for the rest of 485 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 1: the world with them here, and they don't want to 486 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: be who they need to be in order for America 487 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: to be good for the rest of the world. So 488 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: they're not welcome anymore. None of them are welcome. And 489 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: so while I think the saloon it may feel means 490 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: spirited what they're doing, and maybe it is mean spirited. 491 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: I don't know these guys. They might be mean spirited 492 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: men and women. I have no idea. I do think 493 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: that the larger issue here is that everybody's got to 494 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: get in the game, and we need to stop tolerating 495 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: the degradation of our day to day lives here in America. 496 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: It's okay to stand up and say this is not okay, 497 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: and you could do that without being a Karen, because 498 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: now we're all scared of being Karens after shaming the 499 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: Karens for so long, and those the Karens are liberals, 500 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: by the way, the Karens are liberals, and they all 501 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: deserve to be shamed. Yes, because they point out the 502 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: ridiculousness of bureaucratic red tape and what we lived through. 503 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: They served a purpose. But now we're all scared to 504 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: be Karens, and so we don't want to say anything. 505 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: And also we're scared of each other. That's the other 506 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: result of this unchecked immigration. We don't live in a 507 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,239 Speaker 1: high trust society anymore, so you don't know who's going 508 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: to pop off on you and maybe rape you, kill 509 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: you and then get let out of jail. In a 510 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: city like New York City or Los Angeles, we don't 511 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: have to live like this. And it starts right where 512 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: you are. This is the thing everybody wants us to 513 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: be national, and it can't be. It's got to be 514 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: top to bottom, and top to bottom means all the 515 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: way to the bottom. That means you're freaking library board 516 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: in your town. You know your town has a library board, 517 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: It has a library board. Who's on it? You should 518 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: go look. Those are the people who decide what programs 519 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: go into your public library and what books are there. 520 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: And you may think that means nothing because nobody uses 521 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: the library anymore, Well nobody, that is true. No one 522 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: uses the library anymore except for children. They go there 523 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: during school hours because even schools take their kids to 524 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: the library. Still a matter of fact, in my town, 525 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: my suburb here southern California, the library is in the school. 526 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: The public library is attached to the local middle school. 527 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,239 Speaker 1: So it matters what's in your libraries and what kind 528 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: of programs are going on there. Do you even know 529 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: the people that are on your library board? I'm going 530 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: to challenge you to go look and come back and 531 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: tell me, because I bet you you're going to find 532 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: that the majority of them are avowed, publicly proud socialists. 533 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: The socialists have taken over the library boards of America. Yes, 534 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: it's true. It starts all the way at the bottom, 535 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: starts right where you are. And so this saloon, you know, 536 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: that's what they're doing right in their community. My friend said, 537 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: it's not realistic to deport twenty million people in four years? Perhaps, 538 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: but what if it but doesn't become more realistic if 539 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: every American becomes a de facto ice agent. There's ways 540 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: to do this, everybody. We need to start thinking outside 541 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: the box here, stop thinking like an establishment republican, and 542 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: start thinking like a revolutionary because that's the time we're 543 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: in right now. These are revolutionary times. Which side of 544 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: the revolution is gonna win? You're going to leave it 545 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: to the crazy progressive lunatics. You're going to let their 546 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: revolution win. Are you going to get in this game 547 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: and go storm the castle and go win this country 548 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: back for good? Let our revolution be the last Revolution. 549 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: We got to take a break. I'm Cia Davis filling 550 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: it for Tony Katz, and this is Tony Kats Today. 551 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: Welcome back to everybody, to Tony Katz today, Friday, December fifth. 552 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: I hope you're getting your Christmas shopping done this weekend. 553 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: I just realized, Oh, I don't have a stitch of 554 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: shopping done. I don't know what I'm going to do. Everybody, 555 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: I know we can order online, and I guess that's 556 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: what I'll be relegated to. I confess I am not 557 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: great at Christmas. I'm not great at it. But you 558 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: know I'm sitting on Tony Katz's show. He's not great 559 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: at Christmas either, you know, being Jewish and all. So 560 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: I guess I'm fitting right in anyway. Get out there 561 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: this weekend, y'all, get your Christmas shopping done. Before the break, 562 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: we're talking about how this is a top to bottom 563 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: solution for America. What's coming up? I want to read 564 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: you really quickly before we head into the next hour. 565 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: This story out of Texas from the Texas Tribune. I 566 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: think this is important. Texas removes women and minorities from 567 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: historically underutilized business program for state contracts. That's what the 568 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: program is called. Historically Underutilized Business, all right, the State 569 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: Controller's Office. Comptroller's Office announced Tuesdays that it's removing women 570 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: and minority owned businesses from the state program intended to 571 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: give additional exposure to businesses owned by economically disadvantaged groups. 572 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: The Historically Underutilized Business Program What a name? What a name? 573 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: It almost sounds insulting, almost like like you're just historically underutilized. 574 00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: HUB will now focus on businesses owned by disabled veterans 575 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: and be renamed the Veteran Heroes United in Business Program 576 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: or VET HUB. Only veterans with a twenty percent or 577 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: higher service connected disability will be eligible. According to a 578 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: news release, Businesses that have a HUB certification connected to 579 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: their owner's race, ethnicity, or sets will have their certification 580 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: revoked under the new rules. According to the Office, the 581 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: excuse me, the HUB program was created with the intention 582 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: of giving minority and women owned businesses a leg up 583 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: when seeking state contracts. On Tuesday, Comptroller Kelly Hancock released 584 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: a statement, our nation's veterans have always stepped up for US. 585 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: VET HUB is Texas's way of stepping up for them. 586 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: Cutting red tape, restoring constitutional integrity and opening doors for 587 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: the men and women who are who wore our nation's uniform. 588 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: These emergency rules ensure Texas's state contracting is free from 589 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: gender or race discrimination and keeps the program centered on 590 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: those who earned this support through their service. You'll be 591 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: unsurprised to hear that a non HUB certified company has 592 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 1: filed a lawsuit. Very upset, But this goes on all 593 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: over a lot of people don't know this. I know 594 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: this because I'm black and I have a business in California. 595 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: But you can get a little sticker if you're placked 596 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 1: just for the you know, melanin count and you can 597 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: get a little sticker and it goes on your business, 598 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 1: and then people get tax incentives to hire your business 599 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: through the state. I don't have one, by the way. 600 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: I think they're absurd, And in California. Other states offer 601 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: them for free or even thirty or forty dollars. In 602 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: California it's like thousands. Absolutely not, but I would if 603 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: it would give me a leg up here in this 604 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: ridiculous state. But it's a ridiculous program, right I would 605 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,320 Speaker 1: be I would be knowingly taking advantage of a ridiculous program. 606 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: You have one in your state. And here's the thing, 607 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: we don't understand how much that affects where you live, 608 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: where you are, because this is diluting the quality of 609 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 1: the contracts to get proposed to fix the things in 610 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 1: your community. It's diluting the quality of the contractors. That's 611 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: the whole problem with DEI and CRT. This is DEI, 612 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: this is DEI. That's a whole problem with it. So 613 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: your roads aren't getting fixed the way they should be, 614 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: your buildings aren't getting inspected the way they should be. 615 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: Traffic doesn't flow the way it should be because you 616 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,879 Speaker 1: don't have the proper contractors. Because your whole pool has 617 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: been diluted by things like this, All of it matters, folks, 618 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 1: top to bottom. Catch you next hour. I'm Kira Davis 619 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,280 Speaker 1: billing in for Tony Katz, and you're listening to Tony 620 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: Kats today.
