1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: We're back on Tony Katz today. I am not Tony Katz. 2 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: I am Mike Coolidge. And this is one of my 3 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: former bumper songs, bumper music songs on my old radio show. 4 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: Been off the air for about three years now. It's 5 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: so very involved in politics behind the scenes. But I 6 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: do miss radio coming on every day. I do some 7 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: filling work here and there in Chicago and elsewhere, but 8 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: honored to be on filling in for Tony Katz again 9 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: here in the great Midwest, United States of America. And 10 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: before the break we were talking about affordability and how 11 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: if the Republicans are not smart, if they're not. 12 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 2: On the ball, if. 13 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: They don't counter this leftist move to make our country 14 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: communist Marxist, socialist, which seems to be resonating. That viewpoint 15 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: is definitely resonating in some of these big cities New 16 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: York City. Just last night in Seattle, they crowned a 17 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: socialist Marxist out there, the new mayor there. She barely 18 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: squeaked by the opponent, who was a Democrat, by like 19 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: half a percentage point or something. So they have a Mumdannie, 20 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: a female Mamdanni in Seattle. Now beautiful city. It loves Seattle, 21 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: New York City, the biggest city in the country. Marxist 22 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: socialist and the people that voted for them are wrong, 23 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: But they and are they being at least exposed to 24 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: the alternative viewpoint, which is that capitalism and conservative policy 25 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: leads to less people being poor, you being able to 26 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: afford groceries, you having a better paying job, you being 27 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: able to afford healthcare, you being able to afford a 28 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: new home. At viewpoint on our side quote unquote is 29 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: not being articulated enough. And Eddie Scary from the Federalist 30 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: who's to come on my old radio show regularly, wrote 31 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: a great piece in it about that. 32 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: Today. 33 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: I think it's a little a little harsh on on 34 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: President Trump, but but he thinks Jady Vance is good 35 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: at expressing this anyway. Eddie Scary joins us right now. Eddie, 36 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: welcome on to Tony Katz today. 37 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: Hello, happy to be with you again. Mike. 38 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a while. I still read your stuff, 39 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: still a big fan. I want to get into your 40 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: book later too, which is a very you know, nice 41 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: calm title talking about the Democrats. But firstly, let's get 42 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: into this affordability thing you have this piece of the 43 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: Federals today. Trump should learn from JD. Vance when it 44 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: comes to talking about prices and affordability, make make make 45 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: your argument. 46 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 3: Well. I, like a lot of right wingers, over the 47 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: past week and in recent days, was pretty appalled to 48 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 3: see the President saying publicly things that sounded a lot 49 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 3: like the last administration and what the media was saying 50 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 3: last time around under Joe Biden, which is just lying 51 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 3: to the American public with their face, telling them that 52 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 3: everything's fine when everything is not fine. And obviously we're 53 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 3: still this administration is still young if he's his second term, 54 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: but he's still not too far in it. 55 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: We're not even really a year into it. And yet 56 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: still now is not the. 57 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 3: Time to do a victory laugh, which is what it 58 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 3: has felt a lot like the President has been doing. 59 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: And as I write my piece, I don't think any 60 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: of his voters but grudge him indulging in the trappings 61 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 3: of his position. You know, the stuff he's doing with 62 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 3: the White House, the renovations, it's really not a big deal. 63 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 3: In fact, I think that a lot of people would 64 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: agree with him that the White House needed these renovations, 65 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 3: the ballroom, the Rose Garden, all those types of things, 66 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: and yet we expect to return also on our investment 67 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 3: the last election, which was giving him the keys, giving 68 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 3: him the keys again. 69 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: And what we. 70 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 3: Expect is to hear day in and day out, what 71 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 3: you are going to do to fix this mess that 72 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: we found ourselves in over the previous four years. 73 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: It's not over. 74 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 3: And if you want, if you you know, again, he's 75 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 3: the president of the United States. 76 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: He does need to be meeting with world leaders again. 77 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 3: This preoccupation with this ballroom and meeting with his billionaire 78 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 3: donors who are funding this ballroom. 79 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: That's all fine and good, but we should you should 80 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 2: be able to do both things at the same time. 81 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 3: And not only that, but when you're asked about it, 82 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 3: don't say I don't want to hear about affordability. Don't say, actually, 83 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: the prices on everything are down, when that is not true. 84 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 3: And he likes talking a lot about these about the 85 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 3: gas prices dropping, which is that is true, and I 86 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 3: think everyone's grateful for that. And yet at the same 87 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 3: time home energy prices are going up, so it pretty 88 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 3: much nullifies any any benefit we're getting there. But at 89 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 3: least we did have JD. Vance, who only just about 90 00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: two weeks ago. 91 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 2: Two weeks ago, who's an interview. 92 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 3: With the New York Post Miranda Levigne or divine, Divine, divine, 93 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 3: and he said all the right things, which is, yeah, 94 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 3: we knew that this is going to be hard. Everything 95 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 3: isn't great. We're still working on it. We have chipped 96 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 3: away on it, which is true. Again, it is true. 97 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 3: Certain prices have fallen, and certain prices have fallen in 98 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 3: at a very least certain price on things have stalled 99 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 3: that they're at least not going any higher. But he said, 100 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 3: we still have a lot of work to do and 101 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 3: we're going to keep going. Okay, that's a good start. 102 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 3: And yet we also expect the president to be telling 103 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 3: us what are we going to be doing about car insurance, 104 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 3: because a lot of this does there are government solutions 105 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 3: to these things. 106 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: There's all these. 107 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 3: Regulations, all this money that's just going just being pushed 108 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 3: out the door from the government to all these people, 109 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 3: all these industries and regulators in places that don't need it, 110 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 3: and there are things that can be done about that. 111 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: At least tell us what's the plan, what's the plan. 112 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 3: For what you're going to do with car insurance? 113 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: Which is up I. 114 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 3: Think it's like fifty percent since twenty nineteen, twelve thirteen 115 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 3: percent since just last year. 116 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 2: These are real problems that's just squeezing everyone. 117 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 3: I don't know about you, Mike, but I was thinking 118 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 3: this morning, does it not feel like you're hearing about 119 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 3: all these people that are getting money and they're not 120 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 3: providing any kind of real, real service for you, And 121 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: yet it just seems as if money is just being 122 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 3: taken out of your pocket and going to certain people, 123 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 3: and yet everyone still feels like they're getting squeezed and 124 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 3: they're getting poor. 125 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: So that's the case. I'm making this peace. 126 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 3: You know, at a minimum, we don't want the president 127 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 3: going on TV and saying I don't want to hear 128 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: about that. 129 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a very crude line, but I think it's 130 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: appropriate here about you know, don't pee on my leg 131 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: and tell me that it's raining. And that's been one 132 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: of the things that you know, Biden was rightfully criticized 133 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: for and I think one of the reasons he lost 134 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: various other ones. But you know why he didn't run 135 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: for reelection blah blah blah, was that, Yeah, don't say 136 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: things are hunky dory when they're not. And Trump has 137 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: been good about, for example, with tariffs, especially early on 138 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: saying and being you know, leveling with the American people, saying, look, yeah, 139 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: prices on some of this stuff might go up a 140 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: little bit before they get better. Advance had a great line, 141 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: I think it was on Hannity last night where he said, 142 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: you know, we've planted the crops, we got to wait 143 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: a little bit for them to grow. So I think 144 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: your criticism is valid on Trump. If I were to 145 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: defend him, I would say he might be in the 146 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, he's always a cheerleader for 147 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: the president and his own administration, and it's you know, 148 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: it's him. He's cheerleading for himself, which is you know, 149 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: he's always been really really good at and I think 150 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: it's almost like a reflex for him to do that 151 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: and say, yeah, you know, things are are really great. 152 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: But but you're right there, this this affordability thing, and 153 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,679 Speaker 1: this is where I think we really need to dial 154 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: into this. For this coming year, I mean less than 155 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: a year, people are going to go to the polls 156 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: to either keep Republicans in power in DC or put 157 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: the Democrats back in charge. And if Republicans aren't making 158 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,679 Speaker 1: the sort of arguments like jd Vance is explaining how 159 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: insanely stupid it is to have the government be the 160 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: solution for every problem, just throwing money at things, and 161 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: that is going to lead to prices going up, not down. 162 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: We are going to lose. 163 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that to your to the point, 164 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 3: I didn't see the interview with Jade Vance, but this 165 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 3: this quote of him where he says, we planted the cross, 166 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: we're just waiting for them to grow. 167 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 2: Okay, keep going. You can, you can.

Instead, 262 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 3: I've read the initial New York Times story about it, 263 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 3: and you get around like I think, like five or. 264 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 2: Six paragraphs in where. 265 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 3: Where I guess it's Epstein messaging Galaine and says Glenn 266 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 3: Maxwell and says, yeah, he wanted, he knew he want 267 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 3: He told me to stop with the girls. And I'm like, okay, 268 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 3: that seems like that's kind of the important part here 269 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 3: if we're trying to implicate Trump in some way, and 270 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 3: that it seems like that would maybe be the headline. 271 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 3: And also it fits exactly with what what Trump has 272 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 3: already said publicly. But I there was a separate New 273 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: York Times story I was reading just a little bit 274 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 3: before we got on the phone here. Uh, there was 275 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 3: about the right wing media's response to this and how 276 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 3: they've collectively shrugged and they've kind of like seized on 277 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 3: the one detail that it was the victim had actually 278 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 3: said already that Trump was only kind to her, never 279 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 3: didn't and she never saw anything untoward. And I'm like, yeah, 280 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 3: because that's the truth is this is not interesting. I'm 281 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 3: sorry that I wasn't exercised enough about this. I didn't write, 282 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: you know, a million pieces, and you know you're probably 283 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 3: not doing segments about it because it's just really not 284 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 3: that interesting. 285 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, completely quick break here, can you come back for 286 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: like three minutes?

What is this about, Eddie? 291 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 3: Well, it's about a lot of things. Mostly in the 292 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 3: titles explains it all. But what I really wanted to 293 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: do with this book is make sure that they're a 294 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 3: real chronicle depiction of what happened in twenty twenty four. Specifically, 295 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 3: we go over a lot of material, but especially as 296 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 3: it relates to the twenty twenty four campaign could because 297 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 3: that's when it became just so clear that the Democrat 298 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 3: Party is not even just super liberal. It's not like 299 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 3: we've grown overly partisan. The Democrat Party the simplest answer 300 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 3: that it has just become truly and fundamentally anti American. 301 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: And they showed it so vividly through the election. 302 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 3: And with what they tried to do, first with denying 303 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 3: Trump from the ballot, trying to take away people's choice, 304 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 3: then of course using the law fair trying to put 305 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 3: h to zero out his finances, put him in prison, 306 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 3: and then ultimately what happens, he's almost assassinated. So that 307 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 3: those are the things that I really really want nobody 308 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 3: to ever forget and remember just how anti America the 309 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 3: Democrat Party is.
