1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: Live from ball Heartland and the Crossroads of America. It's

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. Would you be surprised to learn that

3
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: the Canadians shockingly have strong objection strong objection to a

4
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: deal for Greenland, only opposes tariffs over Greenland and calls

5
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: for focused talks to achieve our.

6
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: Shared objectives of security and prosperity in the Art.

7
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: Oh, so you don't object to the United States controlling Greenland,

8
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: you object to the idea that Trump has said, Well,

9
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: if these European nations don't come around, I'll start charge

10
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: them a ten percent tariff, and then if they still

11
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: don't come around, I'll charge the a twenty five percent tariff. Yeah,

12
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: and we welcome to what everybody knew was coming. I

13
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: have an impossible time believing that no one understands what's

14
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: going on here. Guys, we're smart, We're not that smart.

15
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: All we are is more honest, and by being more honest,

16
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: we know exactly what is happening here. Tony Katz, Tony

17
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: Kats today, good to be with you, Good to be here.

18
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: And as a guy who sits right now just outside

19
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: of Indianapolis, Indiana, home of the national champion IU Hoosiers.

20
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm gonna be impossible. And I'm not I'm

21
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: not a giant fan. I'm just thrilled for Indiana. But

22
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: it's annoying so many people that I say that. I'm

23
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: gonna say that for about the next month. So so

24
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, did we just lose the Miami affiliate?

25
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: They are gone. There, they're out, They're gone. Okay, bye,

26
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: it was it was nice. It was nice knowing you

27
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: see you later. We're still on in Orlando, right good? Yes,

28
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: weekends fantastic. Uh yeah, yeah, we're on in Orlando WDBO. Yeah. No,

29
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: I love a great station. I love those people. Let's

30
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: get back to Greenland. Here's the play. A deal will

31
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: be made. Do you know how I know this. I

32
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: know this because the first rule of trump Ism is

33
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: that Trump wins, and the second rule of trump Ism

34
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: is that a deal can always be made as long

35
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: as it adheres to the first rule of trump Ism.

36
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, everything with Greenland is going to end

37
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: in a deal that gives us some level of control.

38
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: This is what's happening because it's in Europe's best interest.

39
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: Oh no, one's talking about that. Let's start where we

40
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: start from the beginning. Greenland is a very large hunk

41
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: of land. It's a giant and since the United States

42
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: has been in existence, there has been an attempt to

43
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: own Greenland. Greenland has certainly minerals, and that provides a value.

44
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: But what Greenland really offers is opportunity. Now, a couple

45
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: of things to note tier As a matter of geography,

46
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: Greenland is closer to the United States than it is

47
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: to Denmark. I'm staring at a map right here. I'm

48
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: looking at Denmark's here, and then is slaying, and then Greenland,

49
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: which is we because Greenland is icy and Iceland very green,

50
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: and then here's the United States. We just think of

51
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: it as so far away because we think of everything

52
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: north as not things we look at. Because of our

53
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: own biases and how we view maps and how we

54
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: view globes. Everything is east west. We rarely think of

55
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: things north south. There's Canada and then there's South America.

56
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: It's almost like this amorphic blobbed us. You gotta look

57
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: at a map. We've been saying this, We always talk

58
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: about this. You got to actually see what's going on.

59
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: Greenland has long had geopolitical implications. It is strategic because

60
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: if you're looking at the globe, you realize how close

61
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: you are and how capable it is to keep an

62
00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: eye on Russia. Russia is our geopolitical foe. Now Russia

63
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: Uhia is not necessarily the geopolitical foe that China is.

64
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: But since Russia is falling further and further down the

65
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: slide of economic insanity, of failing in Ukraine and certainly

66
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: incapable of keeping the Chinese at bay on its eastern front,

67
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: every day they get closer and closer to becoming a

68
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: vassal state of China. Which is to say, Russia still exists,

69
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: but it only exists because China allows it to exist.

70
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: It is an effect controlled by China. It's foreign policy

71
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: controlled by China, it's oil production and supply controlled by China.

72
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: It's saber rattling and abuse of other nations controlled by China.

73
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: This is the growing reality of Russia. And while Russia

74
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: may still have an upper hand vis a v Ukraine,

75
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: Russia has no upper hand visa vi itself. Russia is

76
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: still a right to European nations because, of course, Vladimir

77
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: Putin does have expansionist desires which have already been proven,

78
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: only reminding everybody how wrong Tucker Carlson really is on

79
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: the subject. Keeping an eye on Russia is a good idea.

80
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: Keeping an eye on their nuclear arsenal, specifically submarines, is

81
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: a good idea. It was Mitt Romney who discussed in

82
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: the debate with Barack Obama twenty twelve that Russia was

83
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: our biggest geopolitical foe. And it was Barack Obama who,

84
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: with all of the ego and elitism and snobbery one

85
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: like Barack Obama could muster stated the nineteen fifties called

86
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: and they want their foreign policy back. He's so witty,

87
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: how wrong he was. Greenland offers the opportunity for quick launch,

88
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: for being able to counter any attacks or assaults, and

89
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: in the maybe the most overarching allows for over the horizon.

90
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: Capability over the horizon refers to how we keep an

91
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,679
Speaker 1: eye on our enemies. Now, you could say to me, well, Tony,

92
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: we've got satellites for that. Sure, and they've got satellites

93
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: for that. But it ain't nothing like being able to

94
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: just look out over a hill top and go, I

95
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: see you, I see you.

96
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: Hello.

97
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: Nothing. There's nothing like being able to launch a counter

98
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: offensive where you've got I don't know, three thousand miles

99
00:07:54,320 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 1: of a head start than what you would have without Greenland.

100
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: The Russians are more and more of a threat because

101
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: they are more and more unstable. Putin is unstable, and

102
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: you have the Chinese influence. There is not a rational

103
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: mind that thinks that Greenland shouldn't be protected by the

104
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: United States. There is, I want to say it again,

105
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: there is not a rational mind that does not think

106
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: that Greenland should not be protected by the United States.

107
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: Well then why are these European nations causing such a scene. Well,

108
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: they can't be seen as just dequiescing to the United States.

109
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: All politics are local, I swear guys, it's something. There

110
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: are times where I think nobody is listening. All politics

111
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: are local. And if you allow the United States to

112
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: move in ways that are unfettered, well then how do

113
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: you have any strength at all? How do you look

114
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: at you, your people, your electricate, your constituents. Remember there

115
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: are many people in France and many people in the

116
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: UK who are in Islamists who hate the United States.

117
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: We call them schmucks. They'd be dead if it wasn't

118
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: for the US. And let's bring that into play for

119
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: a moment. Why is President Trump acting the way he does,

120
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: acting the way he is, Why is he pushing so

121
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: hard on this? Well, Trump is a guy who believes

122
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: in the maximum leverage. He works from a position of destabilization.

123
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna burn this building to the grounds. Wait wait, wait,

124
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: we could talk. Okay, I just want to rent reduction

125
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: like it's that. It started, the most insane thing you

126
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: can and then these people say, well oh, and then

127
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, we'll do this, and this is so

128
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: much better than the first thing in comparison that that's

129
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: where the deal gets made. The first rule of trump

130
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: Ism is what Trump wins. The second rule trump Ism.

131
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: A deal can always be made as long as it

132
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: adheres to the first rule of trump Ism. Every single

133
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: bit of saber rattling, the tariffs on this, the tariffs

134
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: on that, we're gonna use the military, this has to

135
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: be all of that is to get to the deal.

136
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: The deal has to be made. And the Europeans know this,

137
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: and the deal is in their favor. The deal benefits

138
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: them because it puts Russia on further notice that they

139
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: are being watched and they are being kept in check,

140
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: and they will not be able to advance in the

141
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: Arctic or anywhere else with impunity. If on the Danes,

142
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: Thank goodness, you didn't just say, hey, make a deal.

143
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: You called us names, you insulted us. We've got an

144
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: elector too. Who do you think you are? What made

145
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: you think, President Trump, that you could talk to us

146
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: like that? Are you out of your mind? There is

147
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't know this happened the European I think it

148
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: was in the EU, the EU Parliament. There was a

149
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: Danish member and he's like, here, let me tell you

150
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: what I think.

151
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: Let me put this in words you might understand, mister president.

152
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: He said it, and he had got admonished on the floor.

153
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: Of course he said it. Of course, what you think?

154
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: Trump's the only guy who knows how to talk like this.

155
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: This guy's got voters. Can we all act like we're adults? Now?

156
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: How dare he say that to the President of the

157
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: United States? He doesn't know. All politics are local. I

158
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: don't care how Maggie are. Sit down. It's the most

159
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: normal thing in the world, because everybody knows what's gonna

160
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: happen next. Greenland cannot fall into the hands of China

161
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: or its vassal State Russia. Greenland cannot be allowed to

162
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: be in the hands of China and Russia. In conversations

163
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: that happen outside of the public square, where the voter

164
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: is not consulted, every single European leader would agree that

165
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: Greenland cannot be in the hands of China and Russia.

166
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: Simply can't happen. It's simply an untenable situation. So President

167
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: Trump has decided to make this job number one because

168
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: for the United States, Greenland cannot end up in the

169
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: hands of China or Russia. It is too dangerous. So,

170
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: by chance or perchance, there were some European nation that

171
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: wasn't fully where of their own safety, security, and sovereignty.

172
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: The United States has made them realize that if it's

173
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: not us, it's them, and if it's them, you're screwed.

174
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: You're dead. You will have no capacity to stop these people,

175
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: you will be quite literally surrounded. You're a fool, and

176
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: certainly these are Europeans, and they are European fools. Trump

177
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: is not a fool. So Trump does what Trump does.

178
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: Trump engages this destabilization, this maximum leverage push, this getting loud,

179
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: this saber rattling, sending out Scott Bessett. They can't stop

180
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: us economically, they can't stop us militarily. We'll take what

181
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: we want. Did we actually take anything? All will say it,

182
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: All will talk about tariffs. Have we actually levied any tariffs?

183
00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 2: Hit?

184
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: Then President Trump puts out a series of texts that

185
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: he got from Emmanuel Macron and Mark Root, saying that

186
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: they want to have dinner. Mark Root is the Secretary

187
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: General of the UN. Macron wants to have dinner. Trump

188
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: releasing texts is one heck of a thing, but his

189
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: point is. See, now we're having a conversation, a conversation

190
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: that everybody knew was going to happen. A deal's going

191
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: to get made because that's how Trump works. And there's

192
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: going to be an area of Greenland that's going to

193
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: remain as a protectorate of Denmark. It's going to be

194
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: part of the Danish Kingdom. And then there's going to

195
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: be a very large land mass that is protected by

196
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: the United States. Is it annexed, is it a province?

197
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: Is it like way we think of Puerto Rico. I

198
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: don't know how what that official language is going to

199
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: look like, but this is done. The Europeans are feigning anger.

200
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: This is all a story for the sake of saying

201
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: to their people, we force the Americans to create the

202
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: right deal. We know how to deal with Trump because

203
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: all politics are local. Now you could tell me I'm wrong.

204
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: You can tell me they're really angry and they really

205
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: don't want the United States to control Greenlands. Maybe I

206
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: would consider that a very very remote possibility in the

207
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: single digital percentages of possibility. This is written on the wind.

208
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: The deal will be made and there will be parts

209
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: of Greenland that will be under our protection, which is

210
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: better for the world. And yet there are some in

211
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: the world too stupid to know it. I'm Tony Katz,

212
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: and this is Tony Katz today. Over there in Davos

213
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: are tripping over themselves to want to be able to

214
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: go after President Trump, who will be there tomorrow. So

215
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: Trump was there to watch the Indiana University Hoosiers defeat

216
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: the Miami Hurricanes and win a national championship and go

217
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: sixteen to o oh. We'll be talking about that event,

218
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good to be with you,

219
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: and then he's off to Davos. Then he's off to

220
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: Davos right there, and he's going to talk to these

221
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: people who have a very serious inability to deal with

222
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: the world. A great point.

223
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, clap if you want to go, go ahead, And

224
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: I know we're running from the time, but I have

225
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: to follow up on this because you just mentioned the

226
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: authoritarism in the United States and the cruel regime in Iran. Well,

227
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: what do you make of Donald Trump threatening stroke? He

228
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: doesn't like Iran? Right, So that's one authoritarian figure taken

229
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: on another regime.

230
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: And then with so here at Davos, the pseudo intellectuals

231
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: refer to U Trumps as a what do you call him?

232
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: A despot?

233
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: Or Trump's threatening strike he doesn't like you're on, right,

234
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: So that's one authoritarian figure taken on another regime.

235
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: And then with a Trump is the authoritarian. Got it?

236
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: Got it? I believe that when Trump is engaged in

237
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: not being nice to these people, it's fine. I think

238
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: when Trump engages the idea of trying to be a

239
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: tough guy, I think it fails. This guy is trying

240
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: to be a tough guy, and that's how I know

241
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: it fails. I think it always fails. There's a difference

242
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: in knowing how Trump is going to handle something versus

243
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: whether or not Trump is handling something well when we

244
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: put a lot of it on Trump. Let's take a

245
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: look at all these people who consider themselves our leaders.

246
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 2: What happened in Venezuela. Can you does that muddle things up? Whens?

247
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 5: And of course, I mean, if you know everything is muddy,

248
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 5: everything is great. I can fully understand why many of

249
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 5: my friends and colleagues from Venezuela have a lot of

250
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 5: reluctance to denounce what was an act of aggression against Venezuela,

251
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 5: and maybe taking.

252
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: Out Maduro is now an act of aggression against Venezuela.

253
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: Not all the people you see cheering for Venezuela. No no, no, no, no,

254
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: no no. This is exactly the backwards of our society.

255
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: This is quite literally what we're up against. And the

256
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: reason I shared some of it with you and I

257
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: will over the next few days, is that we have

258
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: the world over allowed people to be in places of

259
00:18:54,600 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: power and prestige where they are showing every every hour,

260
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: every minute of every hour of every day that they

261
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: don't like the fact that you have a say, and

262
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: they don't like the fact that you have a voice,

263
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: and they don't like the fact that America has a voice.

264
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: And they don't like America's strength, and they don't like

265
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: America's success, and they don't like Western civilization. And they

266
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: are still, after all this time and all its failure,

267
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: pushing the concepts of one world order, one world government.

268
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: Anybody who thinks that Venezuela is not better off than

269
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: Maduro out likes the idea of communists and control soun

270
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: gots today ready to take the staff. He takes it.

271
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: He looks, he looks, He throws the football, and he

272
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: runs it.

273
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 3: Penny time for the heads out does he get it

274
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 3: in touch?

275
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: Runs the football at score. A play that will exist

276
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: amongst the IU faithful. Forever fans of the Indiana University

277
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 1: Hoosiers will be thinking about that play on their deathbeds.

278
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be with you.

279
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: I you twenty seven the Miami Hurricanes twenty one. Listen,

280
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: as a guy who lives in Indianapolis, You're just gonna

281
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: have to suffer through this. It's just the way it goes.

282
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: This state is out of its mind. This is the

283
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: hardest game one could argue that they played all year.

284
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: Sure you've got the win of they squeaked out against

285
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: Penn State. You've got the Iowa victory, but Miami came

286
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: to play. Even Coogan, who is the center for the Hoosiers,

287
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: was like, holy blank, this defense was nuts. He said that,

288
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: he was very clear, this is the toughest team they've

289
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: ever played, and it showed, by the way. But sixteen

290
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: to zero and to win it on the interception, here's

291
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: the statback Beclurk throws it down the field and it

292
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: is intercepted. WHOA, what a play? And it is Jamari's

293
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: shirt who comes up for the big and he runs

294
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: into the end zone. They're gonna call penalty, Yeah, because

295
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: Sharpa took off his helmet and that's a no no.

296
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: That voice, by the way, Don Fisher the legendary voice

297
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: of i U sports. He has been calling basketball and

298
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: football for a producer land in nine thousand years. Yeah,

299
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, it's unbelievable. There are some of

300
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: these people who who become part of the fabric of society.

301
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: And when that guy retires, I don't know when that

302
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: will be. It will be, it might rival this story

303
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: in terms of popularity, in terms of attention. Here's the

304
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: staff and this time there's just gonna go down with

305
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: the ground and that will do it.

306
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 3: And the rights the ritz A story for ending in

00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 3: champions of two thousand and twenty six.

309
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: What a football team. Yeah, un unbelievable. And I know

310
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: that there will be a parade, because there's always a parade,

311
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be It's gonna be nuts, to say

312
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: the least. It is a fantastic story. And yes it

313
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: is huge because of the turnaround a program that was

314
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: a losing program for its entire life. But they only

315
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: have like three winning seaton. No, they had more than that.

316
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: They had Bowl game appearances. But the idea of winning

317
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: ten games in a season and now they did it

318
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: twice in a row. They did not lose this year.

319
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: Incredible stuff. And there's a story here about coach Kurt Signetti.

320
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: And I have no expertise on Signetti, and I have

321
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: never met the man. I assume I will one day,

322
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: but I listen. I listened to him in press conferences.

323
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: I listened to him talk about the game. And Signetti

324
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: is a story of two things. Outrageous preparation in the head.

325
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: He is sometimes talking about the game that happened and

326
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: then what's going to come up next to what someone

327
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: did three weeks ago and what someone did two months ago.

328
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: When you take a look at that call from the

329
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: game last from the game last night, are you winning

330
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: the national championship? It's fourth and five. They'd already called

331
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: the timeout on this series, and they're gonna send up

332
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: the field goal unit, and all of a sudden, he's like, no,

333
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: no time out. Well, and people are like, what's going on?

334
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: What's happening. You could see Signetti, coach Signeta like everything's

335
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: calm down, calm down. And that's when he called the

336
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: play for the design quarterback draw and he explained the

337
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: play and he said, I saw the defense that they

338
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: had dialed up. We knew that defense existed. We had

339
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: developed a blocking scheme specifically for that defense. Now at

340
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: that moment, you gotta stop.

341
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 2: This.

342
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: The level of study involves knowing every defensive scheme. Not well,

343
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: they like to like have a they like to play zone?

344
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: Are they like to lay man to man?

345
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 2: No?

346
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: No, no, knowing every individual scheme and he watching it

347
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: knew the scheme, well, Tony, any coach could do that,

348
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: any any good coach could do that. Yeah, But do

349
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: they their study, and then there's intensity. You know, we

350
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: can talk about Tom Brady all we want, and and

351
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: and we we should, but Cheeter the flake Kate was real,

352
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: the preparation, the sacrifice. Go back in football history. Raymond

353
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: Berry wide receiver. Raymond Berry wasn't a physical specimen. He

354
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: wasn't particularly the finest receiver out there. He was a

355
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: route runner of perfection. And these things involve relentlessness, staying

356
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: at it, and staying at it and staying at it.

357
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: Signetti's entire point of view about coaching, about how you win,

358
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: play your game and break the other team's will, which

359
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: involves understanding the game and certainly in all its facets,

360
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: but being unbelievably disciplined. He talks about being fast and relentless.

361
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: He isn't just talking about it. They aren't buzzwords. He's

362
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: doing it. Any parents, after the first couple of years,

363
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: learned something I think if they're in any way in

364
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: aware of parents, kids don't so much do what you say.

365
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: They do what you do. They model themselves after how

366
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: you act and how you handle yourself. One of the

367
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: things that not being somebody who ever got a divorce,

368
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: I never had to deal with this. But I have

369
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: some friends who have been divorced, and I have heard

370
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: other people talk about this, and I always thought it

371
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: was so so valuable as to be believed. And one

372
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: of the things they state is is that I never

373
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: speak ill talking about the guys here. I never speak

374
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: ill of my ex wife. I am always a gentleman

375
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: to my ex wife, and I want my kids to

376
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: see that. So they treat women properly. Holy cow, that

377
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: is like, that's that is an unbelievable thought. And because

378
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: that had never happened in my life that I have

379
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: no experience connection to that. My parents were married to

380
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: my father passed away, my in laws were married until

381
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: my father in law passed away, so I have no

382
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: basis for being around those kinds of things. But of course,

383
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: absolutely positively, of course that's what you do. You want

384
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: to be able to show the behavior that you're trying

385
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: to get out of the people you're teaching, being the

386
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: most prepared guy in the room. That's the life lesson.

387
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: When you take a look at debates between the political

388
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: right and the political left. When you take a look

389
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: at these debates, these debates are often just radically one sided,

390
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,719
Speaker 1: where the left gets eaten alive. You're like, why does

391
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: that happen? Why are they so unbelievably foolish. Part of

392
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: the issue is they've never once tried to sharpen the iron.

393
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: Every day I do a show and people can call

394
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,640

00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: a post a comment on Facebook as if anybody gives

400
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: a good holy dang about Facebook anymore. Tony Kats Radio,

401
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: and we engage in these conversations, and you have had

402
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: heard me engage and pushback with with friends like Ed

403
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: Marssey and friends like like like Noah Rothman. It's a

404
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: disagreement in how we go about doing something. I've done

405
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: this numerous times with all sorts people. But one of

406
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: the things that we do is we go into the

407
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: public square and we say, hey, push back, what's wrong

408
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: with my opinion? Because we're trying to make our opinion

409
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: smarter and better. We're trying to learn how to better

410
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: deal with it. Was anybody more emblematic of this than

411
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: the late Charlie Kirk. I will sit in a college

412
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: campus and just say here's the mic, come at me, bro.

413
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: The left doesn't do this. The Left stays in its very,

414
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: very cloistered circles. And that's how you end up with

415
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: a guy by the name of Cameron Caski going up

416
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: against Scott Jennings on CNN. Caski is not famous for

417
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: being part of the shooting of Marjorie Stumm in Douglas

418
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: High School, Parkland, and became a somebody of notes, if

419
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: you will. And I think I had a back and

420
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: forth with him on social media once once, but he

421
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: was still not eighteen. I wasn't gonna I wasn't gonna

422
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: do that. Maybe he was eighteen at the time, because

423
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't think I would have spoken to somebody who wasn't.

424
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: And he has now positioned himself as some kind of

425
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: genius for the left. And where they're talking about the

426
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: Board of Peace and what's going on in Gaza and

427
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: Trump is leading the Board of Piece and how they're

428
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: gonna rebuild Gaza and if you want on the board,

429
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: it'll cost you a billion dollars, a billion dollars, and

430
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: you're on the board, and you can have a say

431
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: what goes on in Gaza, and we'll use that money

432
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: to rebuild Gaza, and then there won't be wars anymore,

433
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,239
Speaker 1: because we'll get rid of the terraces, and Hamas will

434
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: be gone and the weapons be gone, and that'll be it,

435
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: and we'll flood the tunnels. He'll be fine. And CASKI

436
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: gets up there with Scott Jennings, who's a real professional,

437
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: and wants to make this claim of well, you know

438
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: what the problem is.

439
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 6: You know, it sounds like it should be in the

440
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 6: top ten choices as a Palestinian person, which does not

441
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 6: appear on this piece. And that's how we know that

442
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 6: Donald Trump's alleged ceasefire, which the State of Israel's violated

443
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 6: countless times, by the way, is just a facade. And

444
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 6: you're gonna you're gonna let the aggressors in this war

445
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 6: onto the peace board.

446
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Who are the aggressors in this war? Hamas?

447
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 4: The Palestinians, Hamas that invaded Israel, that raped, murdered, kidnapped

448
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 4: and tortured the Israelis.

449
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,959
Speaker 6: Coming right now that the State of Israel has never

450
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 6: committed red torture or against in Palastinians game.

451
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: He has never once asked himselves whether those who started

452
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: the war should be able to have a say in

453
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: what happens after the war. He only knows how to

454
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: go after Israel. He's never once confronted the reality that

455
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: Scot Jennings just put right in front of him so easily.

456
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: Because you must go out there and push your ideas,

457
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: you must go out there and hear the feedback. You

458
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: must learn, you have to be prepared, You have to

459
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: have thought about what the others are going to say

460
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: and how you're going to deal with it. Signetti is

461
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: a guy who plays it out and lives it and

462

Speaker 1: is Tony Katz today.

464
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 4: Is that the party that does have a motivation from

465
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 4: is the Republican Party. Okay, you know this, I think

466
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 4: sort of tells the story. Extremely motivated to vote this

467
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 4: election cycle. You go back to October of twenty twenty four,

468
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 4: just before Donald Trump was reelected. Hello, Republicans led on

469
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 4: this measure, sixty seven percent of Republicans are those who

470
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 4: lean Republicans said they were extremely motivated to vote in

471
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four, compared to just sixty two percent of Democrats,

472
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 4: Republicans felt like, Hey, we're going out for ice cream,

473
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 4: like a child going out for ice cream. You come

474
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 4: over to this side of the scream. Republican enthusiasm down

475
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 4: now that they feel like they're going to the dentist.

476
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 4: Just fifty percent of Republicans say they're.

477
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: Extremely harry, I gotta disagree. Now the polling says. What

478
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: the polling says. This is a CNN poll January ninth

479
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: through twelfth.

480
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:54,560

Speaker 1: tickets still on sale. I can get you tickets tickets

Speaker 1: dot tonycots dot com. Trump one year later, The highs,

486
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: the lows, and how we win the midterms. That's happening

487
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: downtown Indianapolis on January twenty fourth. Yeah, I've got it,

488
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: and I'm going to be discussing exactly this, this idea

489
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: that enthusiasm is down.

490
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 4: Just fifty percent of Republicans say they're extremely motivated to

491
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 4: vote in twenty twenty six compared to sixty six percent

492
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 4: of Democrats.

493
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: That's actually up a little bit.

494
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 4: So Republicans are depressed in terms of their motivation compared

495
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 4: to Democrats. Wait, and very much so compared to Republicans

496
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 4: back during the twenty twenty four cycle.

497
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: You're comparing a mid term to a general election, which

498
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: is an outrageously unfair thing to do. Then you're discussing

499
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: the party out of trying to get power, which is

500
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: a motivating factor in and of itself. You also don't

501
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: mention the fact that the margin Vetera on this poll

502
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: is five point four percent. Now you can say to me,

503
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: Republicans need to show up to vote, and if this

504
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: motivates Republicans to show up to vote, well, then I'm

505
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: all in favor of this data. But the data is

506
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: incomplete because all of this does not take into effect

507
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: what the month of January has already looked like, and

508
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: people have not come to a place where they have

509
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: put together all the information. This was an economic mid term,

510
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: as one could argue most of them are. That's not

511
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: the case anymore. This is the argument that I'm gonna

512
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: make on January twenty fourth, Tickets Dot Tony kats dot com.
