1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Line from Baal Hartbiner and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. There are going to be more updates 3 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: on the strike against Hamas, just like the strike against Qatar. 4 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: But here's what we've got for now, Tony Katz, Tony 5 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: Katz today, Good to be with You find everything over 6 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: at Tony Katz dot com. The IDF and the ISA, 7 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: also known as Shinbet, which is kind of like they're 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: caught like their FBI, conducted a precise strike targeting the 9 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization. You understand that 10 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: the people who control the money, they're worth billions of Hamas. 11 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: They live in Guitar. That's where they live. That's where 12 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: they reside, and from there that's where they set up 13 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: all the operations that lead to destruct and depth. They 14 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: don't deal with it. No, no, no no, They always 15 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: have fresh fruit for years, writes the IDF. These members 16 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: of the Hamas leadership have led the terrorist organization's operations 17 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: and are directly responsible for the brutal October seventh massacre 18 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: and have been orchestrating and managing the war against the 19 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 1: State of Israel. Prior to the strike, measures were taken 20 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: in order to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use 21 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: of precise munitions and additional intelligence. The IDF and ISA 22 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: will continue to operate with determination in order to defeat 23 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: the Hamas terrorist organization responsible for the October seventh massacre. Good, 24 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: And the more upset Tucker Carlson is, the more I 25 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: know this is the right thing to do. The more 26 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: Candae Sons is screaming about the Jews, Good, the more 27 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: I know this is the right thing to do. Those 28 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: two a whole bunch of people. You got to decide 29 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: whether you want them in your life or not. I've 30 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: made my decision, and then is off they go. Disagreement 31 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: is valuable, and seriousness is not not clear as of 32 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: when I'm discussing this, although there are reports of how 33 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: the attack was carried out. We've seen what the Israelis 34 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: are capable of, whether it be pagers, whether it be drones, 35 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: whether it be this that a whole bunch of things. 36 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: An Israeli military spokesperson referred to Israel's air force carrying 37 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: out the strike. Right, You've got still you've got at 38 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: the airport working. You have Katari Airways or Qatar Airways 39 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: landing in Doha. The Qatari Air Force was able to 40 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: still take off. Qatar refers to it as a cowardly 41 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: Israeli attack on Hamas's political headquarters in Doa, and the 42 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: Foreign minister called it a quote flavored violation of all 43 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: international laws and norms. Don't harbor terrorists. What do you 44 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: want from me? It's the The argument here is that 45 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: it is very very clear that the Israelis are going 46 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: to go forward with destroying Hamas and destroying any terrorist 47 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: group and destroying the Iranian regime. They're not stopping. And 48 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: you could decide to be in favor of that or 49 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: not in favor of that. Then you could have an 50 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: honest conversation of whether the United States should be engaged 51 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: with that, involved with that in any way or not. 52 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: Those are all legitimate conversations. It is I think an 53 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: argument to say the United States should not be involved. 54 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: I may not think it's a good argument, but you 55 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: could say, here's my reason. Boom, boom, boom and boom. 56 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: You can decide that it's economic. You can decide that 57 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: it might create other enemies for us if we don't 58 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: need that. You can decide that you think that this 59 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: is too much you would rather something else. You can 60 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: say all those things, and those things are not particularly 61 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: we think Israel should be destroyed, or we think jew 62 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: should be destroyed. Maybe it's calling my naivete. I think 63 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: that is possible in today's world. What is not possible 64 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: is look at how Israel is attacking these poor Palestinians. 65 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: That is aid and comfort to Hamas. I the Hamas 66 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: is a political organization. I don't think they're Jahati organization. 67 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: No one's ever proven to me there a Jahati organization. 68 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: That's my Tucker Carlson impression. Not bad, not bad. That 69 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: is aid and comfort to Hamas. That's the support of terrorists. 70 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: That's wanting the destruction of Israel. That's nuts. That is 71 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: not an argument when you see what the Jews really did. 72 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: That's the candae Owens impression. My Tucker is better than 73 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: my candass Owens. I admit that's true. That's a nonsense argument. 74 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: It's why with Thomas Massey, if the argument was just economic, 75 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: I could handle it. His argument has gotten personal, So 76 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: I think he's got a real issue. The congressman, Republican 77 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: from Kentucky, and I don't know why he has an issue. 78 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: And the whole thing is absolutely disappointing as can be. 79 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: But it's clear that he's got issue. But Israel is 80 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: not stopping. They have no plans whatsoever of stopping. What 81 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,559 Speaker 1: they're going to do is they're going to keep going. 82 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: Israel is going to make every move it can, as 83 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: many moves as it takes in order to take out 84 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 1: this terrorist threat, including destroying Hamas where they live, which 85 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: was in Doha. Cutter, or at least in Cutter. They 86 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: don't live any longer. I'm not a guy who celebrates 87 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: the dead, but don't ask me to somehow hold these 88 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: loser terrorists, low life scumbag sons and you know what, 89 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 1: in any level of high regard, that's not happening. Don't 90 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: tell me I have to speak about them. Well, screw that, 91 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: and screw their family members. Your family were terrorists and 92 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: you knew it and you were cool with it. The 93 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: reporting from the Jerusalem Post via Reuters say that senior 94 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: Hamas officials were killed in the strike in Doha. Now 95 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: I've already seen social media putting up photos this one, 96 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: this one, this one, this one, all dead, all gone. 97 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: You had Senator John Fetterman, the Democrat from Pennsylvania, replying 98 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: to the story with a give of Winnie the Pooh 99 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: kind of dancing in his chair waiting for honey. That's 100 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: that's that's messed up. That is something else, for sure. 101 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: I favor these moves made by Israel, and I favor 102 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: the moves made by Israel because I do not want 103 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: them living under terrorist threat, as I don't want anybody 104 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: living under terrorist threat. I want the Islamist to lose. 105 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: Every time the Islamist loses, society as a whole has 106 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: a better chance of survival. The Islamist is the enemy 107 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: of all free and thinking people. The Islamist is the 108 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: enemy of all people who do not want to live 109 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: under servitude. Therefore, anytime the Islamist or anybody connected to 110 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: the Islamist loses, we are all better off. I support 111 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: Israel in this regard, and I always support the idea 112 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: that a nation can exist and that the terrorist is 113 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: the enemy, because the terrorist is the enemy, and Hamas 114 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: has proven it, like Hesbo has proven it. The Iranian 115 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: regime has proven it time and again and again and again. 116 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: What do I think the United States should do at 117 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: this stage? I don't think anything. I don't think the 118 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: United States has to do anything right now, I don't 119 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: think they have to make a statement about it. I 120 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: don't think they have to respond in any way. I 121 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: don't think they have to give any level of support 122 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: more to Israel, nor take away any support. This was 123 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: a move done by the Israelis. To the extent that 124 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: the United States was notified, I would argue they were notified. Also, 125 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: I'd be curious to know if the Kataris were notified, 126 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: because I wouldn't be surprised if that took place as well, 127 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: because very rarely do these things happen in a vacuum. 128 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, as the story is now 129 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: coming out, US officials green lit the guitar operation. That, 130 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: coming from an Israeli official to the Jerusalem Post, today's 131 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: action against the top terrorist chieftains of Hamas was a 132 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: wholly independent Israeli operation. Israel initiated it, Israel conducted it, 133 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: and Israel takes full responsibility. So we were just discussing 134 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: it in then boom the story comes out and now 135 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: we've got it. The US knew about it. We're not surprised, right, 136 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: And then Israel's like, no, oh, this was all lost 137 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: one and fifty percent, which is the cover of the 138 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: United States. Wanted to make sure it had for other 139 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: things that it's doing around the globe, whether it be 140 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: investment or deals, et cetera. A diplomatic source a telling 141 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: the Post Hamas received the new proposal from the Kataris, 142 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: which we obtained from Whipcoff last week in Paris. The 143 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: Prime Minister met with AMAS leadership yesterday and they were 144 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: decided to meet again today to discuss the proposal. Arriving 145 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: from Turkey, and then the Kataris come out to say, 146 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 1: as it happened before, the Israelis undermined hopes for peace, 147 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: further prolonging the war and complicating efforts to bring back 148 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: the hostages. Oh stop at Katar. You're just upset you're 149 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: not getting any more cash. We know you're full of crap. 150 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: Hostages could have been brought back anytime. They're not bringing 151 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: back the hostages. They like hostages, they like torturing people, 152 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: they like starving people, and you're supportive of it. Maybe 153 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: our friendship with Qatar needs to be rethought. And oh, 154 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: this idea that the Qataris or anybody else is allowed 155 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: to invest so much in US universities in US Land. 156 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: Forget that. All that money's got to go back. I 157 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: don't care if universities fold. Screw off. You don't get 158 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: to buy our universities, buy our people. We fire those professors, 159 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: We'll start anew We've got a broken system, and we 160 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: have allowed these people, just like the Chinese, to infiltrate 161 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: in a lot of places. Can't have it, can't have it. 162 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: But also, I mean that part is true, but part 163 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: of Qatar's you know, response is I would argue a 164 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: little bit performance art. They know, they know that it's coming, 165 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: they know that it's happening. The UAE calls the attack 166 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: blaytant and cowardly. Don't care. It's not going to end 167 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: relationship between the nations as it has come about over 168 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: the last few years. So this is what we have. 169 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: This is what we have. Israel is getting rid of 170 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: the terrorist threat. We're all better off because of it. 171 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: The US knew about the attack. The US did not 172 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: was not involved in the actual physical attack. Katar is upset, Well, 173 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: let them be upset. I think we'll be more upset 174 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: when we throw them out of the United States. By 175 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: preventing them from having these investments in universities and other places. Oh, 176 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: we could sell a relationship, you just can't have any control. 177 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: We simply don't allow that. And if universities can't handle 178 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: living and surviving without Quitar's money, let them fold. We 179 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: don't need them. Keep it here. I'm Tony Katz, and 180 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: this is Tony Katz today. 181 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 2: Well, we've been bringing in staffers in the Biden administration, 182 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: key staffers. We started at the bottom. We've been working 183 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: our way up to the chiefs of staff, trying to 184 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: determine the process for how President Biden's administration used the Autopen. 185 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: One thing I can say with confidence right now is 186 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 2: that the testimony we received versus what the Axeo story 187 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: and the other emails that have surfaced in the last 188 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 2: two weeks have said, are completely inconsistent with each other. 189 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 2: And I think what's safe to say is based also 190 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 2: on Joe Biden's interview with The New York Times. He 191 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 2: wasn't vetting those and I don't think it's a stretch 192 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 2: to say that Joe Biden wasn't aware of the majority 193 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 2: of pardons that we're being signed with the AUTOPEN. 194 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: I don't think Joe. 195 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 2: Biden was aware of what was going on with the 196 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 2: meaning of the executive order. 197 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: So what we have here now, with the evidence that's. 198 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: Emerged in addition to our trenscribe interviews and depositions, is 199 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: the fact that even Biden's own administration said, wait a minute, 200 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 2: you can't do all these legal documents. 201 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: And that's the reality. The autopen scandal is a real scandal. 202 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: It has always been a real scandal from the moment 203 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: it broke that the autopen was used for legislation, that 204 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: the autopen was used for the pardons. The pardons, by 205 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: the way, to which Joe Biden didn't say specific people. 206 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: He gave parameters, and everybody in those parameters got a pardon. 207 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: And then it seems that the cabal that was running 208 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: the White House instead of him, because he was impaired, 209 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: they expanded the parameters without either without him knowing or 210 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: with some kind of grunt of okay, that's fine. Had 211 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: the pardon signed by auto pen and those pardons should 212 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: not count. They should not count. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, 213 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: good to be with you. That was James Comer. He 214 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: heads up the Oversight Committee and he's the chairman there. 215 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: Keep at it, Do not stop, Do not stop. Do 216 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: not stop. But there is another story that is getting 217 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: zero attention that I think should get absolutely huge attention, 218 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: and that's a story about President Trump and the European Union. 219 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: I had this on the show sheet yesterday and didn't 220 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: get to it, so you can find it over Tony 221 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 1: kats dot com. Every day we post the show Sheet 222 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: things I'm going to be talking about or might be 223 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: talking about today. Trump might force Europe to pay back 224 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: billions in big tech fines. I love this. So as 225 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: we know, the European Union does not see free speech 226 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: the way we do, and they are draconian in their oppressiveness. 227 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: They are radical in what it is they go after. 228 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: If you are an Islamist, well we don't prosecute that. 229 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: If you say, hey, well we've got a problem with Islamists, 230 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: they prosecute for that. For jokes, for people feeling anxiety 231 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: because of your social media post. It's madness what is 232 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: taking place in Europe? And the UK will fall because 233 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: of this. In France, it has we already discussed. France 234 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: is such a big hot mess right now. They had 235 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: a vote of no confidence on the on the on 236 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: the Prime Minister, and well book he's gone, gone, so 237 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: Macron now has to have a new prime minister, his 238 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: seventh prime minister. And then and then you've got the 239 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: people marching in the streets because they want Macron gun. 240 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: And oh they also want out of the European Union. 241 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: So I will I will find out more about about that. 242 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: So the European Union is not us right. When we 243 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,359 Speaker 1: see a problem with Islamist we say so, like Texas, 244 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: Texas having Muslims walk into shops and saying you should 245 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: stop selling alcohol. There's a story out of is it 246 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: Minnesota or is it Michigan, where a mosque bought a 247 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: piece of property and because the property had a bar 248 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: on it, the bar is now out of business. That's 249 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: how the story went. You can double check it on me. 250 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: This is kind of stuff simply can't fly. I have 251 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: no interest in living under Shria law. Shria law is 252 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: purely evil. The people who practice real law are evil. 253 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: They aren't American in any sense of actually believing in 254 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: free speech and free minds and free thoughts. They are 255 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: absolutely opposed to the Constitution. The Constitution comes first. We 256 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: need to fight, and we need to fight aggressively. Sorry, 257 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: you can't have that way of life here. We're just 258 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: not that into you. Oh. I don't care if I 259 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: get called in Islama phoe. But this or that or 260 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: the other. We have to fight and they have to lose. 261 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: If you think that the Islamist way, a Sharia lawway, 262 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: should exist in the United States, you have to lose. 263 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: But that's not the story that I want to get into. 264 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: The story I get into is that we can talk 265 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: about these things here and in the European Union in 266 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: many many places that you can't. And so what they've 267 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: done is they don't want Google or Apple or anybody 268 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: else being able to have a say, being able to 269 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: engage a conversation, and they go about finding the tech companies, 270 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: the Apples and the Googles, etc. For things that happen. 271 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: So Trump posted the other day that Europe today hit 272 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: another great American company, Google, with a three point five 273 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: billion dollar fine, effectively taking money that would otherwise go 274 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: to American investments in jobs. This, on top of the 275 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: many other fines and taxes that have been issued against 276 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: Google and other American tech companies in particular, very unfair, 277 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: and the American taxpayer will not stand for it. Good good, good, 278 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: and good. Now, one of the things that the Trump 279 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: administration and all Americans will have to realize is that 280 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: if you are an American and you travel to Europe 281 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: and anybody in that country, any official, gives you a 282 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: hassle for things you said while you're in the United States, 283 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: the United States has to respond with such overwhelming force 284 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: to that moment that no European nation ever thinks of 285 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: trying it again. What's happening with this This Irish comic 286 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: who got arrested in the UK. He lands in the 287 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: UK for things that he said while he was in 288 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: the United States. Graham Linehan got arrested because the things 289 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: he said about transgender people. He's in the US now, 290 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: He's not a US citizen, so one could argue maybe 291 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 1: that changes things, but it's still all obscene and ugly. 292 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: But a US citizen, I can discuss the fact that 293 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: the UK will fall if they don't get rid of Islamists. Today, 294 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: Prince William as King William will be the last king 295 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: of England. These are the fans if I go visit London, 296 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: if somebody wants to arrest me for that, I believe 297 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: we have to come down so hard on the royal 298 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: family and on the Prime minister that they beg forgiveness 299 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: while they escort me to the airport. I assume it 300 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: would be a land rover. So these this move from 301 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 1: Trump on the tech attack is very important. It's a 302 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: part of this. We simply can't have a US companies 303 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: being attacked by foreign governments because what they're trying to 304 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: do is enact policy that goes against well, things that 305 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: we believe in. They're protected by American laws. Now if 306 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: it means that they can't operate in those countries, well 307 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: this can be a conversation. But these fines, these fines 308 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: are passive, aggressive nonsense, and I like to push back 309 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: against them. Keep it here. I'm Tony Katz. This is 310 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. I hate self inflicted wounds, and this 311 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: story is maybe the granddaddy of self inflicted wounds.

Hopefully the Academy 320 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: Awards and other fake award shows will review their standards 321 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: and practices in the name of fairness and justice. Okay, 322 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: what in the world's happened the West Point?

That's according to the West Point Association of Graduates. 332 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: And you had the association board chairman saying in a 333 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: press release back in June, tom Hanks has done more 334 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: for the positive portrayal of the American service member, more 335 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: for the caring of the American veteran. Their caregivers and 336 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 1: their family and more than a more for the American 337 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: space program and all branches of government than many other Americans. Now, 338 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: there is undoubtedly truth to this, a lot of truth. 339 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: Maybe the only guy you could point to more is Garrisonese. 340 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: Garrisonese just nuts and of course they came together in 341 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: Forrest Gump. But if you take a look at the 342 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: career of Tom Hanks, if you take a look at 343 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: what he has done just as a producer, I mean, 344 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: and it starts and it ends. I mean, You've got, 345 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: of course the mini series The Pacific, which I know 346 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people do not discuss. But you go 347 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: to Band of Brothers two thousand and one. Band of 348 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: Brothers is unbelievable television. It is a must see mini series. 349 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: It was spectacularly done, absolutely positively spectacular. That's a Tom 350 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 1: Hanks production. It's fantastic work. You look at Saving Private 351 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: Ryan is a filmography. You take a look at Apollo. 352 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: We talk about the space program. He has he's created 353 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: the stuff, and he's created some very good stuff, and 354 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: he has been supportive the fact that he is. If 355 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: I was asked what do I think of Tom Hanks, 356 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: to the extent that I ever think of the actor 357 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks, I'll say, based on clips I've seen of 358 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: him and little interviews of him, I think he's an 359 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: egomaniacal freak jerk. He's an egomaniacal jerk. I believe this 360 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: without question based on the little bits I have seen 361 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: of him. I don't care if he's telling the real, 362 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: accurate story of American service members, of those who went 363 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: to space in pursuit of the better America. My gosh, No, 364 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: he's telling stories of heroism, of resolve, of standing strong 365 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: in the face of danger. Sure, the horror, and yet 366 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: the skill of these Americans in overcoming. Sorry, those are 367 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: great things. You want to honor. That fine by me. 368 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: Is he a guy who supports progressives? Absolutely? Could he 369 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: have gone and gone about going after Donald Trump and 370 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: ruined himself that way, Absolutely possible. But he's done the thing, man, 371 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: don't deny it. People are going to take a look 372 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: at what Trump said said, Yeah, he just woke, forget him. 373 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: Can I tell you that Trump did the pylon here? 374 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: And I don't think he should have important move. We 375 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: don't need destructive recipients getting our cherished awards. He did 376 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: good stuff. It's been helpful. It's not a deniable thing there. 377 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: I wish Tom Hanks wasn't so, but he has made 378 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: some great projects supporting the American soldier. He should continue 379 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: to do so and stop being so woke like that's 380 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: the answer. Now Trump doesn't do it that way. We 381 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: know this, and it's and yeah, of course I think 382 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: it's wrong. There's not even a question about that. Of 383 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: course I think that's wrong ten percent that I do. 384 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: I don't think it's helpful. I don't think it's valuable. 385 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: I don't think it's good. But you know, Trump's not 386 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: the story here, right, Why in the world did West 387 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: Point cancel the event? Now that part is not getting discussed. 388 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: Trump is is celebrating it. Our great west Point getting 389 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: greater all the time. Has smartly canceled the awards ceremony 390 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: for actor Tom Hanks. That was the part of the post. 391 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: Why cancel the event? You had? Retired Colonel Mark Bieger 392 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: b I E. G. E Are said the cancelation would 393 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: allow the institution quote to continue its focus on its 394 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: core mission of preparing cadets to lead, fight and win 395 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: as officers in the world's most lethal force. The United 396 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: States Army. How are those things connected? The argument here, 397 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: the story here has got to be what happened in 398 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: the dead of night, What happened that allowed for West 399 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: Point to say, oh, we got to stop this from happening. 400 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: Who called whom? Who said what? Who said what? You're 401 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: not gonna get me to disagree about what an elite 402 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: a snob I think Tom Hanks is. The award ceremony 403 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: is not the worst thing in the world. And if 404 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: it had happened, it really would have gone by without 405 00:26:54,840 --> 00:27:01,719 Speaker 1: much fanfare. Ban the Brothers, the Pacific, you know, the 406 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: portrayal of Lieutenant Dan and him coming back a farrest 407 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: company and serving his country, all these things like it 408 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: would have just coming gone. Now. Someone would have said, 409 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: you couldn't honor somebody better, But he's not a bad choice. 410 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if they've already honored Gary Sinise says, 411 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: I brought him up earlier. I don't have the answer 412 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: to that. But why cancel it? Canceling it brings attention 413 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: to it. So did someone call? So let's now say 414 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: that what if that happened, someone called you say no, 415 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: you say we're going through with this. Just from a 416 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: pr standpoint, it's worse the other way, because I gotta 417 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: believe over there at West Point there is a pr 418 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: headache going on, the likes of which they didn't ask for, 419 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: they didn't want all because they just couldn't figure out 420 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: how to just eat some rubber chicken. Let this guy 421 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: speak for fifteen minutes and then move on. This is 422 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: a self inflicted wound that has no value. And so 423 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: now it looks like Trump or one a member of 424 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: his team made a middle of the night phone call. 425 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: I don't want Donald Trump worrying about who gets awards, 426 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: although I do want us to focus on giving out 427 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 1: different awards. See, don't confuse the issue. The issue is 428 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: not West Point giving Tom Hanks this award. The issue 429 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: is when we take a look at the Oscars and 430 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: this and that and the other and all these awards 431 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: shows that are decidedly radically left. Let's create our own awards. 432 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: What Fox does with the Fox I think they call 433 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: him the Fox Nation awards smart. I think Heritage Heritage Group, 434 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: which isn't the group I remember coming into my own politically, 435 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: but they do awards. Smart. We need to do more awards, 436 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: because you're right, the awards are all ridiculous and they're 437 00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: all silly and etc. Except that they matter. And you 438 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: want to pad resumes and you're like, Tonya, what are 439 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: you talking about? What do you think these awards are? 440 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: If the awards are indeed congratulatory to fellow travelers, then 441 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: you have to create opportunities for fellow travelers to have 442 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: awards so they could say, oh, he's this and he's that, 443 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: and he's won this and he's won that, and therefore 444 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: you build them up. That's what the awards do. That's 445 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: what they do. You don't go about asking for it. 446 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: But if you're going to if you're going to have 447 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: them utilized against you, well they're award winning this, and 448 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: they're top rated this, and they've got this degree after 449 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: their name. You got to start giving out awards. This 450 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: is about how you set a story. Is it nonsense? 451 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: Oh yes, it's nonsense. We're not arguing this. Do the 452 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: Nobel Prizes matter? Does the Nobel Peace Prize matter? If 453 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: Yasir Arafat can win one? The answer is no. But 454 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,959 Speaker 1: look how many people have nominated Donald Trump to win 455 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: a Nobel Peace Prize? Proving the point. It is not 456 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: that you're gonna get rid of the Oscars. They're not 457 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,479 Speaker 1: going to change. The Emmys are not going to change. 458 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: The Tony Awards are not going to change. I would 459 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: be curious, though, if you had conservatives creating plays, which 460 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: you should. I wonder how they would react to that 461 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: getting some critical success or would they attack it. Now, 462 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about creating a conservative play. I'm talking 463 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: about conservatives creating plays. Right if David Mamott put on 464 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: a new show, I wonder how it would be reacted to. 465 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: Not that he's necessarily a conservative, but certainly he has 466 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: plenty to say about the political left and how damaging 467 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: they are to the minds, never mind to society. But 468 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: the awards do matter, and I do agree in creating 469 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: more of that. West Point should have just given Tom 470 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: Hanks the award and then there were one hundred ways 471 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: to play it. So if indeed there was a late 472 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: night call, that would mean that the West Point alumni 473 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: what gave in coowtout bend to the knee, whatever you 474 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: want to call it. That is not a good look 475 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: for the most lethal fighting force. It's not a good look. 476 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: It's an ugly look. Did I mention pr disaster? Oh, 477 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: a guy can be an absolute jerk, but every down 478 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: and again get it right. And that's my take on 479 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:50,719 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks. Absolutely absolutely smug and arrogant. What a career, 480 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: what a life? You shouldn't be this smug and arrogant. 481 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: But he's done some work that we're all better off for. 482 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: It's not the worst thing in the world to say, hey, 483 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: thanks for that. You know, more of that and less 484 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: of your smug crap. Notice you never get any wards 485 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: of thanks for your smug crap. You just do that 486 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: so these people will keep liking you. We like it 487 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: when you tell good stories. Tell more good stories, please. 488 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: But now it's a thing, an unnecessary self inflicted thing, 489 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: so dumb. I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today. 490 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 3: Is it is Trump aligned influencers who are posting up 491 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 3: a storm about this case on social media? Really over 492 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 3: the weekend, Elon Musk, Charlie Kirk, other Trump aligned figures 493 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 3: succeeded in making this senseless death a symbol of big 494 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 3: city crime. We heard President Trump asked about it yesterday 495 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 3: when he was heading home from New York City. He 496 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 3: didn't see them, know much about it. He said he 497 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 3: would get briefed and then today Trump did know all 498 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 3: about it. That's exactly what has happened here. This story 499 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 3: has trickled up from from local news to social media 500 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 3: and now to the President's attention, and it's being used, 501 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 3: as he said, Brian, as a political symbol. 502 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: With that's Brian Stelter of CNN, the news being used 503 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: as a political symbol. I wonder if that's ever happened before. I, 504 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: for one, am shocked. What I'm not shocked by is 505 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: Brian Stelter giving cover to the mainstream media for not 506 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: covering the murder of a white woman by a black man, 507 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: which is exactly how it would have been covered if 508 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: it had been a white man who killed a black woman. 509 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: That's the story we're not even talking about. Arena Zarutzka, 510 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: who got murdered twenty three years old, sat down on 511 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: a Charlotte light rail behind her a black man. She 512 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: didn't say, oh, I'm not sitting there, She sat down 513 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: and he stabbed her to death. And then later in 514 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: the security camera video you hear him saying I got 515 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: that white girl. Yes, he had been arrested over a 516 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: dozen times, Yes he had mental illness, and he should 517 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: not have been allowed out on the streets. He should 518 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: not have been allowed out on the streets. And we 519 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: can have all the arguments you want to have about 520 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: what the Supreme Court has stated regarding asylums. I am 521 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: saying people need to be adjudicated mentally unfit when they are, 522 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: and we need to reopen the asylums. We are losing 523 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: this battle. Some people are not meant for society. That's 524 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: the way it is. It's not because I want it 525 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: this way. It's because it is. And if there had 526 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: been a judge or anybody who had actually done their job, 527 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: is we all see it anywhere along the line with 528 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: this murderous bastard, maybe a Reno Zurutzka would still be alive. 529 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: But CNN doesn't want you talking about you see, it's 530 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: because those right wing guys they made it a story. 531 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: And Van Jones, oh, you see those right wing guys. 532 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: They're just trying to stir up racial animosity. That is 533 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: some fresh stuff right there from the left. Get it clear, 534 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:02,760 Speaker 1: Your biggest problem is we we see you. Your biggest 535 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: problem with all of us in America is that we 536 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: see you leftists in media. We know how you play 537 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:15,280 Speaker 1: the game, and we're stopping it. We're exposing it by 538 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: telling these stories. And this isn't the only woman who 539 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: got killed over the weekend. By the way, the story 540 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: here is a failure of not law enforcement, a failure 541 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: of the courts, a failure of the system, and then 542 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: a failure of the media to refuse to cover a 543 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: story that doesn't fit their narrative. It fits in multiple places, 544 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: and all the while, a twenty three year old loses 545 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: their life and she wasn't the only one this weekend. 546 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: We can either be honest about what's going on, or 547 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: we can allow those people who think they could dictate 548 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: to us the terms of the coverage we see and 549 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: speak about win. And I don't think we should let 550 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: these people win a damn thing. Find everything at Tony 551 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,720 Speaker 1: Katz dot com.
