1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: Lie from ball Heartland and the crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. 3 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 2: I know that everybody's talking about Maduro and the arrest, 4 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 2: the madness of the political left and how they've responded 5 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,919 Speaker 2: so much so that even Democrats are saying, what are 6 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 2: you doing? He was a thug? We're all better off 7 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 2: that he's gone. What are you? What are you doing? 8 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 2: Being angry? But being angry at Trump is what they do. 9 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 2: They don't know how to do anything else. And I'll 10 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: go about proving that in a little bit. Tony Katz, 11 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: Tony Katz today, Good to be here, Good to be 12 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: with you. Find everything I do over Tony Katz dot com. 13 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: Allow me to change the gears completely and discuss the 14 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: story that well is certainly being discussed, but I think 15 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:19,839 Speaker 2: requires a little more of our attention. PBS the Corporation 16 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 2: for Public Broadcasting. They have decided to dissolve. 17 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 3: A stunningly fast end of an era for public media. 18 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 3: After nearly sixty years, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has 19 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 3: voted to dissolve itself. Force to take the drastic measure 20 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 3: after the Republican held Congress voted to defund it at 21 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 3: the behest of Donald Trump. The private agency has steered 22 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 3: federal funding to PBS, NPR and hundreds of public television 23 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 3: and radio stations across the country. 24 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: Good now, I know I'm gonna take hits from people. 25 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 2: Say what you got a problem with Sesame Street. I 26 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: have no problem with Sesame Street. I may have a 27 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: problem with specific characters on Sesame Street, but that could 28 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: also be said of any television show out there. I 29 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: had problems with Harold Wallowitz on The Big Bang Theory. 30 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: What was the problem with Harold Walowitz? Howard not Harold 31 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: Howard Wallowitz. First of all, I should get his name right. Secondly, 32 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: how much more stereotypical Jewish were you gonna make a 33 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: guy I'm not supposed to be insulted. He's an absolute 34 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: Nevish who lives with his mother. I didn't notice, Chuck 35 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: Lorie that it was an absolute stereotype. I noticed it 36 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: was an absolute stereotype. You know what I did. I 37 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: moved on with my day. I was aware of it. 38 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: I didn't let it affect my everyday life. But the 39 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: show was geared towards adults. When you want to have 40 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: a series of characters that are geared towards children. I 41 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 2: think that it's quite okay to say, hmmm, so were 42 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 2: about this, But that's not even the story either. There 43 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: are shows where I've had issues with the characters. No, no, no, no. 44 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: My issue is not was Sesame Street or a whole 45 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: host of things put forward by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. 46 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: It's that I had to pay for it. Same thing 47 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: is true with NPR. The fundamental problem is that I 48 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: had to pay for it, and I don't want to 49 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: pay for it. That's not the programming I want to 50 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: spend my money on. They don't deserve my money. We 51 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: do not need PBS to survive and thrive. And the 52 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: people who have made this argument and ignorantly have made 53 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: this argument, people like Ken Burns, the documentarian who knows 54 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: how to make a documentary, but was fundamentally flawed in 55 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: his argument regarding the very idea of PBS. He wanted 56 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: to make the argument that there were people all across 57 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: America who get their news, actually get their news from PBS, 58 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 2: and no part of that, in any single way was 59 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 2: ever true. It's a big deal. 60 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 4: They killed the Corporation for Public Broadcasting incredibly short sighted. 61 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 4: It'll hurt mostly rural communities. 62 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 2: Maybe that's their invention. 63 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 4: There'll be news deserts. Nobody will be covering the school 64 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 4: board or the city council meeting. They'll miss not only 65 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 4: the children's and prime time programming, but they'll miss, you know, 66 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 4: homeland security stuff, continuing education, classrooms, of the air. 67 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 2: No part of that is true. We live in the 68 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 2: world of the Internet, and yes, those areas can get 69 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: Internet via things like Starlink, although I do think we 70 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 2: should be much more aggressive ensuring up rural areas a broadband. 71 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: It's better for all of us, and therefore they can 72 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: access anything. Not specifically the government paid for a thing, 73 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: but the idea that people were looking to PBS for 74 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 2: their local news. What local radio doesn't exist. We exist, 75 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: We're everywhere. We're kind of awesome. The Corporation for Public 76 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: Broadcasting and NPR did not deserve your money and did 77 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: not deserve my money. They didn't deserve it, and they 78 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: acted like they deserved it. And the Left wants to 79 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: go about saying that they know best how to provide 80 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: for your family entertainment and information, And I say to you, 81 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 2: do they do they really know what's best? Shouldn't I 82 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: be able to make that determination. I do believe I 83 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 2: can and I should. And the determination that I come 84 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 2: to is that they don't know what's best. The determination 85 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: I come to is that PBS is not well suited 86 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: for my family nor for my children. They don't actually 87 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: have good information and they don't provide it in a good, smart, rational, 88 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: reasonable way, and I shouldn't have to pay for it. 89 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: And that the corporation dissolved because the corporation can't raise 90 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: more dollars because nobody wants to fund it, nobody wants 91 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: to support it. Well, that is what I want. I 92 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: want things that people see value in to thrive. Now 93 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: I may not agree with the thing, but the thing 94 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: can get dollars and the thing can get supporters, well, 95 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 2: then go do it. You'll know it. In all my 96 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 2: conversations of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, who Candace Owens yesterday, 97 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: I someone sent over a clip or posted a clip 98 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 2: where she was saying that he believes that the people 99 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 2: are robots. It was listen at this stage of the game, 100 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: if you're following Candace Owens, you just want to be 101 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: dumb and I can't help you, and I don't know 102 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: what to do. I would desperately like to be your friend, 103 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 2: but maybe maybe this is a sign that nah. People 104 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: who still think Candace is serious. People who do meth. 105 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: These are two types of people where I'm like, I 106 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 2: don't think we could do this. I don't think the 107 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: friendship is gonna last. But I don't think she should 108 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 2: be deplatformed. I think she's a fool. I think if 109 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 2: you listen to five minutes of her show, you go 110 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: out of your mind. If Tucker's lost his head, he's 111 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: lost the plot. I don't know what he's doing. I 112 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: don't think he should be deplatformed. That's crazed. I don't 113 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 2: think PBS should be deplatformed. If there's an audience that 114 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: exists out there for sas same set and all the rest, 115 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: my gosh, go to it. I'm not stopping you. I 116 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: don't want to stop you. I don't want to prevent 117 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 2: you from existing. I don't think Nick Flint should be 118 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: the platformed. I think Nick flintas is a cartoon. By 119 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: the way, anybody noticed that ever since he went on 120 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 2: with Tucker and he went on these couple of larger 121 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: platforms or quasi more mainstream platforms, no one's heard from him. 122 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: Life has been like radio silence. I don't know if 123 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 2: the groupers are having a convention, just you know, sitting 124 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: there in their mom's basement, pleasuring themselves hoping he comes back. 125 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 2: I'm not sure how this works, but I no one's 126 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 2: heard a word I interesting. People finally saw him as 127 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 2: opposed to this myth of him when they were like, 128 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: wait a second, this guy has a following, that guy 129 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: stopping it, stop being ridiculous. All right, all right, now, 130 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 2: I know what that is. I'm done here. I don't 131 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 2: have to pay any attention to it anymore. I'm good. 132 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 2: I can't. I don't want to deplatform American citizens, no 133 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: matter how gross and ugly and despicable and detestable their 134 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: commentary are their thoughts, and now they're saying to do 135 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 2: harm to other people. It's a fundamentally different thing. But 136 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: I don't want to pay for it. I wouldn't give 137 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: them a dollar. I don't want to give a dollar 138 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 2: to PBS. I don't want to give a dollar to NPR. 139 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 2: I don't want to give a dollar to any so 140 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: called news organization that said we're not going to cover 141 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden's laptop because we've determined that's not news. I 142 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 2: don't want to give a dollar attending so called news 143 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: organization that views the First Amendment as a problem, which, 144 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 2: by the way, goes in line with something that Barack 145 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 2: Obama said years ago. He said, the p problem with 146 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: our democracy is that we have too much information. Too 147 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 2: much information. Do you know how much? How insane that is. 148 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 2: That's where these people get into the conversation about disinformation 149 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 2: and misinformation. We have to do something about this, and 150 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: we have to stop this, and that's about silencing people. 151 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 2: The answer is no. The answer is no. If Sesame 152 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 2: Street can get on the air, on Netflix or anywhere else, 153 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 2: go right ahead, go right ahead. The story here is 154 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 2: that we have done the right thing by saying we 155 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 2: don't spend our money on this. That isn't the role 156 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: of government provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare. Yes, 157 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: we should have a military that is lethal and giant 158 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: and ready to destroy the enemy at a moment's notice, 159 00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: promote the general welfare. Hey to make good choices, but 160 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 2: leaving the decisions of people up to them. Government should 161 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: not be in the news business. I live in the 162 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: state of Indiana. If he did not know and years ago, 163 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 2: I was doing I still do mornings in Indianapolis. I 164 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: was doing mornings in Indianapolis, and there was a discussion 165 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: of a program being put forth by the then Pence administration, 166 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 2: and the program was to put government officials in newsrooms 167 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 2: to be able to answer questions. Now, quickly the Pence 168 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 2: team came out and said, this was an idea, this 169 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: is not what we're doing. This is absolutely not happening. 170 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: I set that idea on fire in ways that I 171 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 2: cannot properly describe. I am amazed. First, I'm amazed I 172 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 2: never got suspended from it. I was always shocked because 173 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 2: I was very direct, very focused, very uncaring about anybody's feelings. 174 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: Government has no role in news and content none. I 175 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 2: oppose FCC regulations. I want very little government involvement in 176 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 2: the ability of the American people to speak, paying for it, 177 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 2: so subsidizing it, that's just the opposite of what I want. 178 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 2: So there will be people on the left to lament this. 179 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: Those people I think are holy misguided, and what they 180 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 2: are saying out loud is we should decide what people hear. 181 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: And I think you've you've got a dial on your radio, 182 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 2: and I think that you've got the ability to catch 183 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: the live stream and you can watch, and you can 184 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 2: turn it off. You decide. My job is to be 185 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 2: as honest as I can, to have as much data 186 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 2: as I can, and to be as humorous as I can, 187 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: to keep you right where you are, competing in a 188 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 2: marketplace against all other types of radio hosts and all 189 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 2: other types of content. I accept the competition is good 190 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 2: and it makes me better. PBS at NPR said, how 191 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 2: dare you make us compete? Maybe people will realize how 192 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: bad we are. I will not shed a tear, and 193 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Elmo will shed no tear for me. 194 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 2: Let Elmo and Sesame Street go survive on its own, 195 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 2: which I believe it could. Let them go out there 196 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 2: and make that case. That's how America should work. I'm 197 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: Tony Katz, and this is Tony Katz today. So the 198 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: guy who broke the windows at JD Vance's home. First, 199 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: this wasn't the observatory where the Vice president's residence is 200 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, This was his home in Cincinnati. 201 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: Someone took a hammer and broke out windows. The suspect 202 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 2: is a twenty six year old named William de four 203 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: d E foo r d E capital FR. Now, maybe 204 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 2: I'm shame on me because I don't usually use names here, 205 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: but it usually has to deal when I'm talking about 206 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: a shooting. But let me let me continue the story. 207 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: William goes by the name Julia. That's the story. Now, 208 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 2: some people want to make the story that he comes 209 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 2: from a very wealthy family and the dad is a 210 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 2: very wealthy doctor. Not the story. Not the story. We 211 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: don't know anything about the home life. And I'm not 212 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 2: going to sit here and you know, make a claim 213 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 2: that the parents said this, as the parents said that 214 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 2: as a twenty six year old. This is an adult 215 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: and clearly an issue. And there are people with money 216 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 2: and without money who deal with issues all the time, 217 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 2: and my sympathies in many many ways are with them 218 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 2: because none of that could be easy for anything I 219 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 2: have said, or about what's his name, the movie director 220 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 2: Rob Reiner. I didn't like Rob Reiner's politics at all, 221 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 2: and I thought he was an abhorrence person in his politics. 222 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: I don't know what he was like as a father. 223 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 2: How would I know. There are people who comment on 224 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 2: my stuff, I'm videos, social media posts. They're professional trolls. 225 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 2: I can't imagine they get paid for it. They're just 226 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 2: angry and bitter and lost. Right, It's just it's can 227 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 2: you imagine being so obsessed with me, with you, and 228 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 2: they like you spend your days on comments. It's just 229 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 2: super weird. And haven't they learned after all these years, 230 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 2: it hasn't changed anything. I'm still talking, I'm still getting 231 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 2: my contracts signed, I'm still getting paid. We're growing in 232 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: every way. No, they don't, so they get something out 233 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 2: of it. I assume it's a sexual thrill. I don't 234 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 2: know what else I'm supposed to assume they get out 235 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 2: of it, But I don't know what they're like in 236 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 2: their everyday life. It's like yesterday I spoke very directly 237 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 2: about Congressman Jason Crowe. I mean, I was angry and 238 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 2: I shouldn't be. I should never be angry on air. 239 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't. I don't think that that that's helpful. 240 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 2: And I use some lines that are actually a little 241 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 2: bit unlike me in and out of that segment which 242 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 2: we have up on on the YouTube channel YouTube dot com, 243 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 2: slash turn accounts, and it's okay. I mean I said 244 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: what I said. You gotta live with your words. But 245 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 2: it's just it's just not like me to say because 246 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 2: everybody's up for a butt kick, and that's just that's 247 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 2: not my normal type of talk. Although yeah, but usually 248 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: at the at the ballot box. I would have no 249 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: idea if Congressman Crow, who I think in his conversations 250 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: about telling the military not to uh listen to the 251 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 2: commander in chief, is going after a Trump uh and 252 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 2: and his lack of service uh and then sending other kids, uh, 253 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 2: other people's kids to war and what happened in in Venezuela. 254 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 2: He's angry that Maduro has been captured and maybe there's 255 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: a better life ahead for Venezuelans. I have no idea 256 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 2: how he is as a husband, or a father, or friend, 257 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 2: or a son or anything else. I would never have 258 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 2: a commentary to that. How would I know. I have 259 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: no idea how Rob Reiner was to his son who 260 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 2: eventually killed him. I have no idea how the parents 261 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 2: of this guy William who referred to himself as Julia. 262 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 2: I have no idea how they were. And that's why 263 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 2: I don't think they're the story. I think that this 264 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 2: guy William who called himself Julia is the story because 265 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 2: if he thought he was a she, that's mental illness. 266 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 2: And shame on everybody in American society who not only 267 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 2: thinks that you should buy into mental illness, you should 268 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 2: supple all those on the left who believe in this 269 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 2: nonsense garbage of so called gender affirming care, which is 270 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 2: a shield by which adults get to abuse children. This 271 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 2: is a societal issue should be looked at as such, 272 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: and at twenty six it's on him, not her, him, 273 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 2: and he should go to jail. This one man's take. 274 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today.

Mark Kelly is lucky, lucky. The only thing 283 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 2: being discussed here is him being demoted. Mark Kelly is 284 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 2: the Senator from Arizona and Mark Kelly was the one 285 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 2: who was in the video with Elisa Slutkin and Congressman 286 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 2: Crowe and a host of others saying you should not 287 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,959 Speaker 2: accept orders from Donald Trump. Well, now, Tony, what they 288 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 2: said is, hey, here's a reminder to all those in 289 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:55,239 Speaker 2: the military, you shouldn't listen to illegal orders. Well, if 290 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 2: we're gonna go chapter and verse, yes, that's what they said. 291 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 2: If we're gonna be honest, what they said is Donald 292 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 2: Trump is an illegitimate president. Don't listen to him. And 293 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 2: for that for trying to usurp the commander in chief, 294 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 2: for trying to instruct members of the military not to 295 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 2: listen to the chain of command, jail worse, that's up 296 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 2: to the Senate and up to a judge to the side. 297 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 2: What they did is indefensible and they deserve all the 298 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 2: derision and all the hate that they got. It's not 299 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 2: actually considered treason, okay, but the layman calls it treason? 300 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 2: Is it seditious behavior? Well, I guess it depends on 301 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 2: who you ask. Does everybody know what they said? Yes, 302 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 2: here are the words they used, but we know what 303 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: they said, right, that's how that plays out. Well, Mark 304 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 2: Kelly is now outraged. Outraged, I tell you, because the 305 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 2: Pentagon is taking a look at demoting him. 306 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 5: Well, I'm surprised that they're continuing down this path and 307 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 5: taking these steps to try to silence me, silence other 308 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 5: members of Congress, silence retired members of the military, former 309 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 5: service members, really silenced the American people. I mean, this 310 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 5: isn't totally only about me. 311 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 2: I'm not silenced. You're terrible and you're not a tough guy. 312 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 2: Could you stop it? I think that I was going 313 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 2: over this and I think this is what got me 314 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 2: regarding Congsman Jason Crow yesterday. And I'll state it for 315 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 2: the record. I can be as disgusted with him as 316 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 2: I want, and I am, and I think that he's wrong, 317 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 2: and I do think that his argument is garbage nonsense. 318 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 2: And I said it then, I'll say it now now 319 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 2: I will speak to that man knows to nose and 320 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 2: say at point blank. The infuriating part is when these 321 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 2: guys act tough that somehow their service gives them carte 322 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 2: blanche on everything, and you can't say anything about it 323 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 2: because well, you didn't serve. Just because they didn't serve 324 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 2: doesn't mean I can't say things there's the weird thing 325 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 2: that happens where a false belief comes across people and 326 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 2: comes over people that somehow an expertise exists because of experience. 327 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: A when it's not true that Mark Kelly served in 328 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 2: the military does not make him an expert on how 329 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 2: the military should function. Lloyd Austin served in the military. 330 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 2: He was the Secretary of Defense under Joe Biden and 331 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 2: that guy way it's a wall and didn't inform his superiors, 332 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 2: which well were the President of the United States. Am 333 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 2: I supposed to believe that he's somebody I should be 334 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 2: following and paying attention to, Not in the slightest and 335 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 2: not for a second. No, I reject the premise that 336 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 2: he's somebody I should be listening to, this idea that 337 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 2: the generals know best. But we were engaging woke policy 338 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 2: and not creating war fighters. That's the wrong approach and 339 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 2: I'm glad we don't have that approach anymore. But they 340 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 2: were in the military. They are the experts. No no, no, no, 341 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 2: no no. They can be questioned, and I find it ugly, 342 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 2: this tough guy approach. And that's what I think you 343 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: get a lot from Mark Kelly, A tough guy approach. 344 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 2: He thinks it's wrong and despicable, and how dare the 345 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 2: Pentagon try and silence him. That's not what's happening. No 346 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: one said he couldn't speak out about President Trump, or 347 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: about Republicans, or about policy. No one said this, You, senator, 348 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 2: tried to usurp the duly elected president of the United States, 349 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 2: and you were pushing members of the military not to 350 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: listen to the commander in chief. We wouldn't accept it 351 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 2: from a Chinese bot on TikTok. Why in the world 352 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 2: did we accept it from a sitting US senator. You 353 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 2: did what you did, and as far as I'm concerned, 354 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: you should be tried. As far as I'm concerned, you 355 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 2: should be kicked out of the Senate. If all you 356 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 2: get is demoted, you lose some pension. I think you 357 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 2: should lose every bit of your pension if all you 358 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 2: get is to moted. Sir, my god, you got off easy, 359 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 2: and I will state for the record, too easy. The 360 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 2: idea that you're being silenced, No you're not. I'm not 361 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 2: being silenced either. I think when people engage in cancel culture, 362 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 2: there are trying to silence people. But you just heard 363 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,479 Speaker 2: me say I oppose the platforming. Candice Owens is a fool. 364 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson is a fool. Nick flight Das is a cartoon. 365 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 2: I don't think there should be the platforms. I never 366 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 2: once said Lewis Farakhon should be the platformed. I said 367 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 2: congressmen like Andre Carson should be ashamed of themselves for 368 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 2: calling him a friend, and he shouldn't win reelection. Toda, 369 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 2: defending what it is you did here ridiculous. We shouldn't 370 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 2: defend what was done. We shouldn't defend how this went down. 371 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 2: The tough guy routine can be seen from Governor Tim Walls, 372 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 2: who dropped out of his race to run for reelection. 373 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: The people of Minnesota now spared a third term of 374 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 2: this madness. This was him. Ah, the audio is not working. 375 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 2: See it's not coming through for me? Is it coming 376 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 2: through view? 377 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 4: No? 378 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it is. That's too bad. He's 379 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 2: blaming Republicans. There was never a moment where Tim Walls 380 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 2: wasn't tough. There was never a moment where Tim Walls 381 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 2: wasn't the guy on the full on attack. And it 382 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: was Tim Walls who made the statement that you know, 383 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 2: I know, we haven't seen a lot of Donald Trump 384 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 2: and and maybe and maybe that's some good news. Do 385 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 2: you remember that story when Trump was like radio silent 386 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,479 Speaker 2: for like a day and a half and then the 387 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: internet was like, ah ah, Trump's dead. Trump's dead. He's 388 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 2: clearly dead. And who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and 389 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 2: that'll be true one day. You don't, you don't remember 390 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 2: that happening. Oh, because I remember that happening. Let's let's 391 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 2: see if if this one's working right here. 392 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 4: You get up in the morning and you doom scroll 393 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 4: through things. 394 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 2: And although I will say this, the last few days 395 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 2: you woke up thinking there might be news. You're saying, 396 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 2: you're saying there will be news sometimes just so you know, 397 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 2: that's a governor wishing death on the president of the 398 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: United States. But look how tough he is. Look at 399 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 2: what these Republicans have done. They've weaponized this and weaponized that, 400 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 2: possibly billions of dollars with the fraud of Minnesota under 401 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 2: your watch. And you're angry that we noticed. You're angry 402 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 2: that we noticed because you expected and you got you're 403 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 2: Democrat minded or Democrat aligned colleagues in the media not 404 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 2: to report on this guy ran for Vice president of 405 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 2: the United States. No one from CNN and MSNBC reported 406 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 2: on it. Nothing from the Times, nothing from the Post. Now, 407 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 2: if there was a story, I should have to give 408 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 2: credit where it's due. If indeed there was a story, 409 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 2: but there wasn't a front page story every day. Hey, guys, 410 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 2: look at this. If they had treated this scandal like Russia, Russia, Russia, 411 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 2: we all would have known about it years ago. But 412 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 2: we didn't. We didn't get to really know about it 413 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 2: until the City Journal piece from Manhattan Institute. We didn't 414 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 2: even pay attention to the local reporting from people like 415 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 2: Jay Calls and others. They're in Minneapolis, and then we 416 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 2: saw the video from Nick Shirley, and that was the 417 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 2: end of that. They can joke about Trump dying in 418 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 2: hopes that he's dead. They can sit there and say, 419 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 2: don't listen to the commander in chief. But when anybody responds, 420 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 2: look what they're doing to me. We'd all be better 421 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: off if there was a standard, and the standard was 422 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 2: we disagree with the guy who won, let's talk about 423 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 2: the disagreements, as opposed to we disagree with the guy 424 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 2: who won, so let's work desperately to destroy him. Let's lie, 425 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 2: cheat and steal our way to some level of victory, 426 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 2: and make sure we keep destroying our political opponents, dehumanizing 427 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 2: our political opponents, and pushing people to kill our political 428 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 2: opponents every day of the week. Oh does that come 429 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 2: more from the left and from the right? One thousand percent. 430 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 2: There's not even a question. Does this still lead us 431 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 2: down a bad road? You bet? I'm Tony Katz. This 432 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 2: is Tony Katz today and the answer to a question 433 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 2: in the chat room. No, Tehran has not fallen yet. 434 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today. Good to be here, Good 435 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 2: to be with you find everything at tonycats dot com. 436 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 2: But keeping an eye on Aran. Now you've heard President 437 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 2: Trump also speak very strongly about the leader of Colombia, 438 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 2: not the university, the nation and that he should watch 439 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 2: out and the Columbian leaders saying come and get mean. 440 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 2: We know how that story ends. The story is is 441 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 2: that the Ayahtola is preparing in case the Iyatola has 442 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 2: to leave. There are massive demonstrations happening or have been 443 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 2: happening in Iran. The living has become untenable. You've got 444 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 2: massive sanctions. The country just was ripped asunder by these 445 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: hits on their nuclear facility, which leads them to recognize 446 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 2: that the old days of them being somehow isolated and 447 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 2: safe or over and even the back and forth they 448 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 2: had with the Israelis didn't stop. The Israelis okay, you 449 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 2: do this, we do that. Okay, everything's done, and they 450 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 2: realized that it wasn't going to be that way anymore. 451 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 2: Then the US got involved in a bombing raid that 452 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 2: I think we should be clear at this moment. Either 453 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 2: the Iranians never saw, or they saw and they knew 454 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 2: there was nothing they could do about it, zero that 455 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 2: they could do about it. The people, realizing that maybe 456 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: there's a weakness and an opportunity, are trying to take 457 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 2: advantage of the opportunity. I'm thrilled for them, and I 458 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 2: want this for them very very badly. But as of yet, 459 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 2: the Iyatola is not out of power. And you would 460 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,479 Speaker 2: need more than the iatola out of power. You need 461 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 2: that hardliner system toppled. And I do, indeed hope that 462 00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 2: it comes. I want to see that just like everybody 463 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 2: else does, or I would have I would assume everybody 464 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 2: not named Tucker Carlson does. All right, that's the last one. 465 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 2: That's the last reference. I promise there's only there's only 466 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 2: so much of that one person should do an interesting 467 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 2: story Over to the Wall Street Journal, what happened to 468 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 2: happy Hour? Turns out that after work people are not 469 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 2: going out for a beer, which would make sense because 470 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 2: nobody's at the office. You still have people working at home. 471 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 2: Who's gonna go to the office after after work? And 472 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 2: you have generational shifts in drinking where they're not drinking beer. 473 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 2: They're not drinking alcohol. Over on the on My Cigar 474 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 2: and Bourbon show, Eat Drink Smoke, which has heard across 475 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 2: the country, Eat Drink Smoke Show dot com. We have 476 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 2: been talking about this and the shifts in drinking and 477 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 2: how what the Ozembic Society has done to drinking and 478 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 2: gen z et cetera. And people started screaming at us, No, 479 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 2: this is all about tariffs and Canada. You're just not 480 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 2: to go after Trump. With all due respect, tariffs have 481 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 2: had an effect on bourbon sold in Canada and certainly 482 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 2: is part of the reason that groups like Jim Beam 483 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 2: aren't going to be producing from certain facilities for a year. 484 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 2: But it is not the totality of the conversation. The 485 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 2: totality is there have been cultural shifts, and the more 486 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 2: and more stories are coming out about this something we've 487 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,919 Speaker 2: been talking about for months. And here's another story. How 488 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 2: do you expect people to go to a happy hour 489 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 2: when people don't happy hour? They just don't. They don't 490 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 2: mind being social. Well, I guess maybe they do a 491 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 2: little bit mind being social, but going out after work 492 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 2: for a beer is just they're not in the office 493 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 2: and they're not drinking beer. That's what happened to the 494 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 2: happy hour, and bars are going to have to figure 495 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 2: it out with I'm not sure what, but it probably 496 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 2: won't be as enjoyable as a beer is Tony Katz 497 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 2: Today
