WEBVTT - Episode 4656: Tony Katz Today Hour 2 - 08/07/26

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Live from Vall Heartbyer and the Crossroads of America. It's

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Tony Katz Today.

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 2>There's something about the political right in Mexican food that

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 2>really my people, my people conservatives, well maybe it's Republicans.

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm a conservative. They are not a function.

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Because it was about Trump and well this was the

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 2>left naming it taco. Trump always chickens out, which is

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 2>not true at all.

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 3>Or in any way.

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 2>So there was the taco thing, and now it's about

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 2>the burrito. And I cannot describe to you how wrong

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>everyone is, or I should say many people are on

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 2>the political right about this story. You're missing the point.

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 2>You sound ridiculous, out of touch, lost, disconnected.

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 3>If you want to lose elections.

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 2>You keep talking the way you talk, or you can

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 2>listen to me Tony Katz. Tony Katz Today, an absolute

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 2>pleasure to be with you live streaming on YouTube and rumble.

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Just look for Tony Katz on Twitter also known as

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 2>ex Tony Katz and Facebook Tony Katz Radio. It starts

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 2>with a post from Matt wallsho I've disagreed with on things.

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 3>Over there at Daily Wire, and.

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 2>He wrote that grocery prices are insane they're still rising.

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Addressing this problem should be the number one priority of

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 2>every elected leader, and the stupid foreign wars and focus

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 2>on this issue. It's one of the main reasons socialists

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>are gaining power. Well, he's wrong. One of the main

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 2>reasons socialists are gaining power is because we gave up

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>control and observation of education for forty years, fifty years.

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, let's speak clear about it. It's origins, Matt.

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Foreign wars and saying and stupid foreign wars is a

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 2>talking point. Stopping the Iranian regime is smart, is conservative,

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>is strong, is pro America, and is America first.

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:25.360
<v Speaker 3>No one who.

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Would allow RAND to remain as they were before was

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 2>actually in any way ever America first. That includes Tucker

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Tucker Carlson, that includes Marjorie Taylor Green, that includes Thomas Massey.

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 2>There is nothing that is America first about leaving a

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 2>terrorist regime to do harm to the United States and

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:51.639
<v Speaker 2>United States interest just not real. But absolutely, grocery prices

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 2>are too high. Yes, egg prices are down and other

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 2>things have come down. Beef prices are down, but they're

0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 2>still too high. And what we're really talking about when

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 2>people utilize the term affordability is the idea that the

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 2>basic has become costly. We should note these things. We've

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 2>discussed it here. In the terms of going out to eat,

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 2>there was a moment that that fast food quick serve

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 2>and the prices have gotten so high that people had

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 2>moved to places like Texas Roadhouse. If I'm going to

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 2>go to a Chipotle, never mind the salmonilla from the Halopanos,

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 2>which they pulled the Holopanos, And I hope they come

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 2>out of this, you know, I don't want them to

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 2>get destroyed.

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 3>By this issue.

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 2>But if I get the family of four, everyone gets

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>a burrito, speaking of burritos, and they get a drink,

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>and we get some extra trips.

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, oh yeah, the little one wants to guacamole.

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 2>That bill could be sixty dollars, right, well, one, I'm

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 2>at sixty dollars. Can I be at seventy three dollars

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 2>and get myself an eight ounce steak, sit in a booth,

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 2>get my refills where someone brings them to me. Oh,

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I get the rolls, and I get to feel like

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 2>a person. When a family cannot go out to eat

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>to the most basic of places, the Texas Roadhouse, the Applebee's.

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not mocking these places. I'm discussing them as they are.

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 2>People start asking themselves, what are we working so hard for?

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>The going out to eat, the going to one of

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 2>these places and being served is the way to feel normal.

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 2>It's the way to feel like my work is worth it.

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 2>I can afford to provide for my family this little luxury.

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 2>In this way, the misses didn't have to cook being stereotypical.

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Everybody's out, it's a little relaxing. We'll actually look at

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.600
<v Speaker 2>each other. No, no, no, everybody off the phones. We're

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 2>hanging out. Come on, you're in a restaurant. Don't be

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.040
<v Speaker 2>on your phone. Don't be see those people look ridiculous.

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Don't do that.

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 3>And it connects.

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 2>That is good and that is where a sense of

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 2>normalcy comes from. When people can't afford to do that,

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 2>or feel that they can't afford to do that, they

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>ask themselves, what am I working this hard for?

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 4>Is?

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:34.840
<v Speaker 2>What is this? You cannot cannot deny that, You should

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 2>not deny that. Do not deny where people are, where

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:42.359
<v Speaker 2>they exist, and what it is that moves them. I

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 2>would argue that there is a great amount of America

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 2>that isn't looking for millions and billions. They're looking for happy,

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.040
<v Speaker 2>They're looking for you know what.

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 3>This is good.

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 2>And I have zero issue with that.

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:01.480
<v Speaker 3>To respond to.

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Matt Walsh, comes Andrew COVID. Andrew was, of course the

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.919
<v Speaker 2>producer and the right hand of the late Charlie Kirk.

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 3>And I believe he still runs that show.

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 2>He's still doing that show. It's on the same time.

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 2>I am so I never listened. I've never met Andrew.

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:25.839
<v Speaker 2>And Andrew posted. And what Andrew posted was this right here.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 2>He posted that one of our TPUSA college students, meaning

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Turning Point USA, gave me his take on affordability. Quote

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:42.359
<v Speaker 2>A burrito shouldn't cost twenty dollars, he continues, Yeah, a

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of this is a hangover from COVID and Biden

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 2>error inflation. But the lived experience is the same. It

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.119
<v Speaker 2>just feels like basic things cost too much.

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 3>That is.

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>A very normal thing to say. That's very, very true.

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>The idea that a burrito may not cost twenty dollars

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 2>is not the story. It's that the experience the basics

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>are just too high. It is it's the rent is

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 2>too m high. It's that feeling. The responses to this

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 2>have been ridiculous. One of those ridiculous responses was from

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Mark Theesson, who does a lot of writing Fox Washington Post.

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.239
<v Speaker 2>I follow some of his work. I like the guy,

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 2>but he made a mistake and he wrote crimea River.

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 2>The burritos in the college cafeteria are included in your

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 2>meal plan.

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh, we really don't want to win elects.

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Doing the political right has no interest reading winning elections.

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:15.680
<v Speaker 2>They don't everything that said. Oh you're just complaining. Oh

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 2>you're just ridiculous as opposed to listening to what's being said.

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Not only is this said by Mark Pierson, but Ben

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Shapiro jumps in and says that if young people were

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 2>paying twenty dollars for a burrito, they are quote doing

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:40.679
<v Speaker 2>life wrong. I said earlier this week that when it

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 2>came to Sophie Cunningham, Matt Walsh had a swing and

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 2>a miss. This is a swing and a miss from

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Ben Shapiro.

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Jide. Now all I have is that quote.

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Producer land, and if you want to go find the

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 2>post from Ben you can.

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 3>That is a mistake.

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 2>The argumentier is not that a turning point USA member

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 2>should be should not be buying twenty dollars burritos. The

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 2>argumentier is the idea of cost, the idea that the

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:22.800
<v Speaker 2>basics are high, and that is not solely represented by

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 2>the college student. It's represented by anybody who buys groceries.

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 2>It's represented by anybody who pays car insurance or any

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 2>other shirts, homeowners inshurts. Can we discuss the rising costs

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 2>here buying an airline ticket and you get less service,

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 2>less care?

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 3>And what do you do? You pay more and more

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 3>and more.

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.679
<v Speaker 2>I was discussing yesterday that there is this budget airline

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.680
<v Speaker 2>out of Australia that now wants to charge you if

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 2>you put your carry on in the overhead bin.

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 3>If that holds, what happens.

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 2>When they bring that to United and Delta and Jet Blue, etc.

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Now some people responded to these things with just ridiculousness.

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 2>One of those people was the vice president. The vice

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 2>president stated, I'm surprised talking about Mark Theesen, I'm surprised

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.679
<v Speaker 2>to hear Mark say this. If you've ever met him

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>in person, it's quite obvious. The man who has never

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 2>missed a burrito, that's just dumb. What are you doing? Congratulations,

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 2>you got in the dig terrific, You're now an influencer

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 2>on social media. You might as well just be a podcaster,

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:53.560
<v Speaker 2>not the vice president of the United States, unless, of course,

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 2>this is all part of your economic nationalism.

0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:57.439
<v Speaker 3>That you're just thrilled by.

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.199
<v Speaker 2>Can we discuss winning elections for half a second? Could

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 2>you listen to what is being said. There is a

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 2>cost issue, and it's real, and it has a great

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:20.679
<v Speaker 2>number of places that we can look to. And yes, absolutely,

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Biden level inflation is a part of it.

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Inflation is not down to where we need it to be.

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 2>It isn't We had a whole conversation about two Fed

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 2>governors talking about the need for rate hikes, increased interest

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.320
<v Speaker 2>rates to keep dollars from getting into the system. Inflation

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 2>is too much cash, not enough stuff, and therefore you

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 2>increase the interest rates. Let's cash into the system and

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.480
<v Speaker 2>inflation comes down. I saw somebody in the chat talk

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 2>about deflation. Deflation can be a problem if it comes

0:11:54.200 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 2>too quickly. Stagflation is super ugly. Just ask Japan over

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 2>the last thirty plus years, and ask China as they

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 2>are now slowly realizing they are in the grips of it.

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 2>It is obvious to all of us that the daily

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:24.079
<v Speaker 2>costs have gotten into an obscenity. It simply is a problem.

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Why not address that problem from all of the angles

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.800
<v Speaker 2>of which it is a problem. Inflation is a part

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 2>of the problem. If President Trump would remove a bunch

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 2>of tariffs, you would see things get easier. My take

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.360
<v Speaker 2>if we took a look at the regulatory environment and

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 2>talked about how less government is a clear place that

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 2>we can engage to reduce cash in the system, to

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 2>where President Trump is having great effect and result. We

0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.440
<v Speaker 2>take a look at the jobs numbers that just came out,

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 2>and I'll talk to doctor Matt Will economists at the

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:06.080
<v Speaker 2>University of Indianapolis coming up in a little bit. The

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 2>jobs numbers. My gosh, you lost twenty three thousand jobs.

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.680
<v Speaker 2>This is terrible, But we actually had sectors that we

0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:17.959
<v Speaker 2>gained private jobs. The private sector gained thirty thousand jobs

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:24.240
<v Speaker 2>in the month of July. Government lost fifty three thousand jobs.

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Losing government jobs is good. We don't need this big

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 2>bloated government. But you lost more government than you picked

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 2>up private sector. Thus the negative number. So the negative

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.079
<v Speaker 2>number top line tells a story of things still having

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 2>an issue, but there are things within it that explain

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:53.440
<v Speaker 2>why it's happening, lowering government smart, getting what Kevin Walsh,

0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 2>the FED chair, is trying to do, getting things off

0:13:55.480 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 2>the balance sheet, smart, changing the regulatory environments. When it

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:04.080
<v Speaker 2>comes to the very idea of costs smart, how about

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.079
<v Speaker 2>we discuss the idea of a twenty dollars burrito and

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 2>those states that want to push twenty dollars an hour

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 2>minimum wages, of course the cost of a burrito or

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 2>anything else is going to go up. Do we not

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 2>understand how this works? We have a thousand ways to

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 2>address what's happening, and go and speak to gen Z

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 2>and speak to all of America and say there is

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 2>a path out of this, and it involves fiscal policy.

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:44.239
<v Speaker 2>We're the ones with the fiscal policy. Vote for us. Instead,

0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I've got Mark Feeson and Ben Shapiro dismissing it with

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 2>non with non intellectual commentary. This is baseline garbage that

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 2>they just put out, and I've got the Vice president

0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 2>making fat jokes. This is why people drink bourbon, and

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 2>this is why people hate politics and Republicans.

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 3>This is why people hate you. What are you doing?

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 2>You have an opportunity here? Why not take the damn opportunity?

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 2>You can argue, well, you see, this is just a

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 2>populist message and what the populast would do. America has

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.240
<v Speaker 2>to protect itself more and they have to implement this,

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:36.479
<v Speaker 2>and you can't be allowed.

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 3>To charge that. No, that stuff is wrong.

0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 2>And Trump has some of those inclinations because he's not

0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 2>a conservative.

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 3>I understand this, and that's not correct.

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:49.120
<v Speaker 2>It has to be a policy prescription that takes government

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.520
<v Speaker 2>out of these things, that puts an end to this

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.240
<v Speaker 2>maddening idea that it is on the back of the

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 2>employer to pay what somebody who has never employed an

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 2>anybody has decided as a living wage. We have to

0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:08.400
<v Speaker 2>address these things honestly and clearly and show gen Z

0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 2>that they could be active participants in making things better.

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 3>All they have to do.

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Is act, and instead listening to a real concern from

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Covid, it gets dismissed. It is the dumbest thing

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I have seen the political right do in a good

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 2>long time. And that includes nominating Carrie Lake in Arizona

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 2>when you knew she was gonna lose. Tired like you,

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 2>exhausted of people just not being normal, when that's all

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 2>it takes. I'm Tony Katz, This is Tony Katz today.

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 2>So Presier Landon, as we were talking about the cost

0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 2>of burritos in this story about.

0:16:58.200 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Someone saying that.

0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 2>If they can't afford the basic things, it was Andrew

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Covit saying that people at Turning Point USA are like,

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, a burrito shouldn't cost twenty dollars, the point

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:17.440
<v Speaker 2>being that the costs of the everyday things are too high.

0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not suggesting buying twenty dollars burritos Tony Katz

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Tony kats today, but to mock these people are supposed

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 2>to recognize that there are increased costs and there are

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 2>things we can do about this, and these are policy prescriptions,

0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 2>and why not go sell those and show people how

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.199
<v Speaker 2>they can be active participants in making things better in

0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:38.240
<v Speaker 2>their own life. Instead they're getting mocked. And Ben Shapiro

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 2>didn't and he was wrong. Mark Theson did it.

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 3>He's wrong. They're just wrong.

0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:46.880
<v Speaker 2>And producer Landen said, does this apply to door dash?

0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Allow me, No, it does not. Door dash is about

0:17:55.200 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 2>you being outrageously lazy. It's not about the cost of

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.720
<v Speaker 2>the item. You are now paying for an added luxury.

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 2>And there are people who DoorDash four times a week

0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:09.679
<v Speaker 2>producer land and true or false.

0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 3>That's true. Those people are insane.

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Those people need to have Dave Ramsey come hit them

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:19.360
<v Speaker 2>about the head with a stick.

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:24.800
<v Speaker 3>You can't afford door dash? What are you out of

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:25.479
<v Speaker 3>your mind?

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:31.520
<v Speaker 2>That is about being foolhardy with your economics. That's a

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:35.920
<v Speaker 2>different conversation than the cost of simple basic things.

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 3>That's the difference.

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 2>If you are somebody just starting out in life, or

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:43.720
<v Speaker 2>you're a college student and you're door dashing four days

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 2>a week, you are indeed doing it wrong. If you're

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.119
<v Speaker 2>talking about wanting to go out and a burrito is

0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:57.040
<v Speaker 2>really expensive Chipotle, what have you? Yeah, that is an issue,

0:18:57.440 --> 0:18:59.640
<v Speaker 2>and that issue comes from a lot of other places.

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 2>You deciding you need the luxury of someone driving it

0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 2>to you because you just won't get your ass off

0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 2>a couch.

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't feel anything for you now.

0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:15.640
<v Speaker 2>In all of this, we should be clear. If you're

0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:19.160
<v Speaker 2>just starting out, pack your lunch at home. It's better economics.

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 2>If you have a kitchen, you need to cook, You

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 2>need to handle your economic realities. Well, doesn't change the

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.360
<v Speaker 2>point that's being made about our economics as a nation.

0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:38.600
<v Speaker 2>This is Tony Kats today three more things, Tony Kats

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Tony Katz today, guys, glad that you are here live

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.159
<v Speaker 2>streaming on YouTube and rumble. Just look for Tony Katz,

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 2>come join the fun.

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:48.240
<v Speaker 3>Three more things.

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 2>These are stories that should be front page news, but

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:56.240
<v Speaker 2>because of all of the news on the front pages,

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:58.399
<v Speaker 2>and they get moved off the front pages. So I

0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:03.359
<v Speaker 2>bring them too, as we said, live streaming smoking a

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Crux marble head as we do the show. It's turned

0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 2>out to be a lovely cigar and can work as

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 2>a daily smoke, A nice piece Crux. Crux. They have

0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.560
<v Speaker 2>a whole line of cigars. This is the marble head

0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.120
<v Speaker 2>right here. Did I pay this ten eleven dollars a stick?

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Something like that?

0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:24.160
<v Speaker 3>I get it, Tony.

0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 2>How can you talk about affordability when you're talking about

0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:30.399
<v Speaker 2>spending eleven dollars on a cigar? Well, I can afford

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:34.639
<v Speaker 2>the eleven dollars cigar. I can afford the eleven dollars cigar.

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 2>And I've set up my life to be able to

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 2>do this every day.

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:41.240
<v Speaker 3>If you can't, and when I couldn't, I didn't.

0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Right, this whole conversation about economics a never ever excludes

0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.359
<v Speaker 2>the idea of being somebody who is aware of your

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:53.640
<v Speaker 2>economic situation and being focused on it. I was being

0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:57.720
<v Speaker 2>asked in the chat room about a car issue I have,

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:03.359
<v Speaker 2>and it's a differential went never I've never never had

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 2>a rear differential go And so I was like, well,

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 2>do you fix it? Does that mean you should sell

0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:08.640
<v Speaker 2>the car? What do you do?

0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.679
<v Speaker 3>And in speaking to some people who know better than I,

0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:12.560
<v Speaker 3>the answer.

0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:15.119
<v Speaker 2>Was, oh, gosh, no, no, no, no, everything else about the

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:16.680
<v Speaker 2>car works. You're not going to sell anything.

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:21.240
<v Speaker 3>Used cars are unbelievably high. Why are used cars high?

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Because new car prices are criminally insane, criminally insane. The

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:33.400
<v Speaker 2>average car payment in America is seven hundred and seventy

0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.760
<v Speaker 2>five dollars for a new car, and there are definitely

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.040
<v Speaker 2>people who are well over one thousand dollars in new

0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 2>car payment. That's crazed. Now, my issue there is certainly,

0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 2>if you can afford it, you do what you will.

0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:49.240
<v Speaker 2>If you're like, oh, I gotta have a new car, no,

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to have a new car, grow up

0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:55.440
<v Speaker 2>and handle yourself. There's a difference between being smart about

0:21:55.440 --> 0:22:06.639
<v Speaker 2>your economics and the economics of things we have when

0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:09.199
<v Speaker 2>it comes to new cars. A problem by which we

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:12.320
<v Speaker 2>loaded up with crap. Oh, this safety feature, that feature,

0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 2>the other feature. Nobody wants the features. Nobody cares about

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:20.439
<v Speaker 2>the features, and they all increase the cost of the vehicle.

0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.880
<v Speaker 2>We're forced into these things. Somebody in the chat room wrote,

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.879
<v Speaker 2>that's the capitalism you guys wanted. Damn straight, it's the

0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:32.520
<v Speaker 2>capitalism I want. You think, I want what the communists

0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:38.240
<v Speaker 2>have to offer. No choices and breadlines, pooky, Nobody wants that.

0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:40.919
<v Speaker 3>No one who's normal wants that.

0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:45.760
<v Speaker 2>But the government interference that causes the price increases have

0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:46.240
<v Speaker 2>to go.

0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:48.080
<v Speaker 3>Watch the prices come down.

0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 2>You can actually draw a direct line, in my view,

0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:57.200
<v Speaker 2>between this and things like rent control. Of course.

0:22:58.720 --> 0:22:59.719
<v Speaker 3>You have rent control.

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:02.640
<v Speaker 2>The rent's too high, and we have to stop these

0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:06.360
<v Speaker 2>high prices of rent. If you have rent control, you're

0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 2>stopping the landlord from being able to charge a market rate.

0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:13.440
<v Speaker 2>But the landlord still has to deal with the market

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.359
<v Speaker 2>rate for all the repairs. Then the landlord can't afford

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 2>to make the repairs, and so what does the state

0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:21.320
<v Speaker 2>come and do they take the property? Because somebody has

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 2>to manage this, and you are being a slum lord.

0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Rent control is the maneuver to the expropriation of property.

0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Argentina had rent control for years. Javier Malay gets elected,

0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 2>the rent controls. End prices dropped immediately, and then apartments

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 2>became available because landlords started renting again. But what do

0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:45.200
<v Speaker 2>the communists want? They want to do away with rent.

0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:52.040
<v Speaker 2>They hold symposiums, they write books about abolishing rent. How

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:54.160
<v Speaker 2>does that work? Well, it works when you don't believe

0:23:54.160 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 2>in private property. So yeah, capitalism good. Communism sucks. But

0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 2>when we talk about cars, we're talking about all the

0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 2>things that are forced into it by a government. I

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 2>didn't realize we would.

0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:13.159
<v Speaker 3>Get on a whole thing here about the dollars.

0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:17.720
<v Speaker 2>But I'm happy to do it this way, get rid

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:18.520
<v Speaker 2>of the things.

0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 3>That are you know, I don't want.

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:24.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't want my car, Ford, GM, Stilantis, whomever. Stop

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:27.119
<v Speaker 2>sending me a notification that I should look in the

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:31.720
<v Speaker 2>back seat to see if my kid is there. First,

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.280
<v Speaker 2>what about the people who can't have kids? Thanks for

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:39.080
<v Speaker 2>reminding them every day that they're unable to have children.

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that's rude and disgusting. Secondly, I do not

0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:46.640
<v Speaker 2>want to spend extra for the reminder. I can put

0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:51.040
<v Speaker 2>a post it note right there on the dash or

0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 2>I can remember that I have my kid in the car.

0:24:55.680 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Don't take away personal responsibility. Stop it with that stupid

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:02.359
<v Speaker 2>been dinging that happens when I don't put on my

0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:05.720
<v Speaker 2>seat belt. I wear my seat belts. I think wearing

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:09.760
<v Speaker 2>a seat belt makes sense. But if someone doesn't want

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:11.399
<v Speaker 2>to wear seat belts, I don't want a law that

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:14.000
<v Speaker 2>says they have to wear a seat belt if they

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 2>fly through the window in a car accident.

0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:20.440
<v Speaker 3>They fly through the window, it's no skin off my nose.

0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:23.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean it'll be skinned off their nose because they

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 2>just flew through the window.

0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:27.920
<v Speaker 3>But don't bother me about it, and I don't have

0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:28.640
<v Speaker 3>to pay for it.

0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:34.359
<v Speaker 2>So the new car prices are so dang high because

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 2>of a lot of this nonsense. It's regulatory insanity. Therefore

0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 2>the used car prices go up and there would be

0:25:40.320 --> 0:25:43.360
<v Speaker 2>no real replacing of this car. So get it fixed.

0:25:44.240 --> 0:25:47.159
<v Speaker 2>It's just a reird differential. I didn't know.

0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 3>I now know. It is a crappy thing to have

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:50.120
<v Speaker 3>to replace.

0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 2>It is a crappy thing to have to replace if

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:57.200
<v Speaker 2>it can't be fixed. And yes, the auto shut off

0:25:57.240 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 2>is nonsense, but the EPA under lee'sz Elton has moved

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:02.960
<v Speaker 2>to remove the auto shutoff and to that.

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:12.719
<v Speaker 3>Excellent work, absolutely terrific. I could not be more happy.

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 2>But let me get to the three more things, and

0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:19.119
<v Speaker 2>I will get to one more financial thing. This was

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Duke University, where the Justice Department says that Duke University's

0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:27.520
<v Speaker 2>law school discriminates against white and Asian students.

0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 3>You can apply that anywhere, of course it does.

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:36.639
<v Speaker 2>I would say this about Duke, I would say this

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:41.680
<v Speaker 2>about universities, not even just law schools, medical schools, everything.

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Of course they do.

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:49.240
<v Speaker 2>The Department, meaning the Justice Department, says that they're utilizing

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:54.680
<v Speaker 2>racial references and admissions, violating civil rights laws. So that's

0:26:54.760 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 2>number one. They give a preferential treatment to black and

0:27:00.920 --> 0:27:05.479
<v Speaker 2>Hispanic applicants, right because they want to say, look how

0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:07.320
<v Speaker 2>many of this group, but look how many of that group.

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:09.600
<v Speaker 3>This is what happened with Harvard.

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:14.480
<v Speaker 2>They absolutely were discriminating against Asian students.

0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:19.119
<v Speaker 3>Why we've got enough of those? You've got enough of those?

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's the That is an absolutely horrifying thing

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:34.160
<v Speaker 2>to be said. That is pure, raw, unadulterated bigotry, complete bigotry.

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:37.399
<v Speaker 2>So they said that the black Livespanic students get a

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:41.600
<v Speaker 2>leg up in white and Asian applicants and the media.

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:44.919
<v Speaker 2>LSAT scores for white and Asian applicants who were rejected

0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:47.560
<v Speaker 2>were higher than those of black students who were admitted.

0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:53.200
<v Speaker 2>And this after the Supreme Court three years ago explicit

0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:59.120
<v Speaker 2>said explicit racial preferences are illegal in college admissions. We've

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:03.160
<v Speaker 2>already seen that so many of these universities have done

0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:10.760
<v Speaker 2>workarounds to try and continue this road because they all

0:28:10.760 --> 0:28:16.160
<v Speaker 2>believe in the bigotry. They are are well wrapped into

0:28:16.160 --> 0:28:19.359
<v Speaker 2>the idea that no, this one deserves it and this

0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 2>one doesn't. They don't believe in the very concept of merit. Oh,

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 2>if you don't think, I'm not worried about my medical

0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:33.680
<v Speaker 2>future and doctors and nurses and whether or not we

0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 2>brought in the best of the brightest. Tony, you're saying

0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:37.959
<v Speaker 2>a black Rispanic nurse can't be the best of the brightest.

0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Of course not. But everything has to be on merit

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 2>and not based on this group and that group and

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:46.200
<v Speaker 2>a great number here and a good number here, and

0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:48.120
<v Speaker 2>does it balance out? And how does it all look

0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:49.920
<v Speaker 2>and the pie charts totally equal.

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 3>That's not the way it works. That can't be the

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:53.160
<v Speaker 3>way it works.

0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:58.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't want my doctor or my nurse getting into

0:28:58.240 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 2>being a doctor or nurse because well, well we had

0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 2>to do that. I want the best of the best

0:29:05.760 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 2>of the best of the best. That's what I want.

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:13.720
<v Speaker 2>And I can't imagine that there's somebody out there who

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 2>wants anything else. Then there is President Trump denying a

0:29:18.720 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 2>rift with Pete Hegseth regarding munitions. Right, this reporting that

0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 2>somehow we're low on weaponry, which is indeed a firing offense.

0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:33.560
<v Speaker 2>I would take every general who was responsible over the

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:36.400
<v Speaker 2>last years and I would bust them down. I had

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 2>said I would bust them down to corporal, and someone

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:41.400
<v Speaker 2>reminded me, you can only bust them down to second lieutenant.

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Don't tell me how to live. But I get your point.

0:29:44.400 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Get rid of pensions, you get nothing. Low on munitions.

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 2>It's an insane idea. Now President Trump says we're not

0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 2>and I didn't believe the reporting. And look that you

0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:59.800
<v Speaker 2>can argue in a whole series of ways that this

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:02.240
<v Speaker 2>a story that got leaked, and you know it's sun

0:30:02.360 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 2>sou And when you're strong, make your enemy think you're weak.

0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 3>On all these kinds of things.

0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:08.960
<v Speaker 2>You can argue it was done to make the administration

0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:11.160
<v Speaker 2>look bad and put pressure on them to stop being

0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:17.160
<v Speaker 2>engaged with Iran. It also could be true again the firings.

0:30:18.280 --> 0:30:20.840
<v Speaker 2>But Trump's point is no, no, no, no, there's no issue

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 2>at all with Hegseth. There are a lot of people

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:31.400
<v Speaker 2>on the left who want to say all the nasty

0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:32.760
<v Speaker 2>things in the world about Pete hag Seth.

0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:33.680
<v Speaker 3>They're more than welcome to.

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 2>I think Pete hag Seth has done an incredibly good job.

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:40.480
<v Speaker 3>The recruitment rates are up.

0:30:42.000 --> 0:30:46.520
<v Speaker 2>The focus of the military is clear that we are

0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:49.600
<v Speaker 2>indeed about lethality in the military, and we are not

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:53.040
<v Speaker 2>going to stop that. We are going to push that.

0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:59.280
<v Speaker 2>We want a fighting force that can fight. I love

0:30:59.320 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 2>every bit of it. This is absolutely what I want,

0:31:04.280 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 2>and I think Hegseth has been very good at It

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:10.360
<v Speaker 2>has been a breadth of fresh air on the subject.

0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:15.800
<v Speaker 2>And I think the recruitment goals tell the story. And

0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:23.560
<v Speaker 2>if we are paying attention, the recruitment goals are being

0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:26.840
<v Speaker 2>achieved and they're being exceeded. But yet we are saying

0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:29.720
<v Speaker 2>that the military is becoming a more strict place and

0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:33.640
<v Speaker 2>a more disciplined place, more focused on the physical fitness, harder.

0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:38.880
<v Speaker 2>How do those two things jive. It is because what

0:31:38.960 --> 0:31:44.400
<v Speaker 2>people want is a standard, and when you beat the

0:31:44.440 --> 0:31:50.720
<v Speaker 2>standard out of them through outrageous policy, through welfare, through

0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:54.440
<v Speaker 2>telling people that the system is terrible and rigged and

0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:56.760
<v Speaker 2>can't help them, but here will provide for you. Because

0:31:56.800 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 2>you can't do for yourself, you create a despondence society.

0:32:02.160 --> 0:32:05.880
<v Speaker 2>You create a society that doesn't believe they can, and

0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:10.880
<v Speaker 2>that society becomes weak. And what people crave is structure

0:32:11.400 --> 0:32:14.560
<v Speaker 2>and order and the recognition that they are strong and

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 2>they can be strong and they can do this for themselves.

0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I think it's been terrific. The one thing you have

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:25.120
<v Speaker 2>to do for yourself is protect your data online. You

0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:29.000
<v Speaker 2>have to do it because these data brokers they've got

0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:31.040
<v Speaker 2>these files on you, and they've got your home address,

0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:33.560
<v Speaker 2>they've got your email address, they have your medical records.

0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:35.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, they have the name of your kids, they

0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:39.320
<v Speaker 2>have the names of your kids, and that file gets

0:32:39.320 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 2>sold to scammers. People are losing, is it Americans losing

0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:46.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty billion dollars plus each and every year to these

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:50.600
<v Speaker 2>fraudsters and the scammers. They're not getting lucky, they're getting

0:32:50.680 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 2>prepared because your file is collected and packaged and sold,

0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:58.120
<v Speaker 2>and it's done legally. You have to fight back. Use

0:32:58.360 --> 0:33:02.240
<v Speaker 2>incognitive do something about your file. I ncog n I

0:33:02.680 --> 0:33:06.240
<v Speaker 2>in Cogni dot com, going broker by broker, forcing each

0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:08.200
<v Speaker 2>one to delete your file.

0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:11.120
<v Speaker 3>And in Cogni they're keeping an eye on things.

0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:14.120
<v Speaker 2>So if everything starts coming back boom, they knock it

0:33:14.200 --> 0:33:17.400
<v Speaker 2>right out again. They do this all legally. In Cogny

<v Speaker 2>athletic director at Purdue University, Tommy McClelland, who's taking it

0:33:47.680 --> 0:33:52.080
<v Speaker 2>on the chin, and he's handling it pretty well. He's

0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:55.360
<v Speaker 2>been doing some interviews about.

0:33:54.960 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 3>A really really.

0:33:57.920 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Really big foot in the mouth moment as he was

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:04.720
<v Speaker 2>making his announcement. Right, Hey, it's a pleasure to be here.

0:34:04.720 --> 0:34:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait to get started for Purdue University. Tony Katz,

0:34:08.080 --> 0:34:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Tony Katz today Big ten And of course you're talking

0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:16.880
<v Speaker 2>about the rivalry with Indiana University, which just won the

0:34:16.960 --> 0:34:20.920
<v Speaker 2>national championship. Coach Kurt Signetti going undefeated, Vananda Mendoza, the

0:34:20.960 --> 0:34:25.000
<v Speaker 2>whole story. Everybody knows that, it's an amazing story.

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:29.080
<v Speaker 3>This is what he said.

0:34:31.160 --> 0:34:33.759
<v Speaker 2>As he was being welcomed, as as he was introducing

0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:37.480
<v Speaker 2>himself to the university into America.

0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:40.799
<v Speaker 4>Every recruit and every current student athlete will hear this

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:45.640
<v Speaker 4>message repeatedly. We are here to win championships. If you

0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:48.480
<v Speaker 4>don't want to win championships, go to Indiana.

0:34:51.280 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 2>They are coming off the biggest national championship victory ever,

0:34:59.520 --> 0:35:02.400
<v Speaker 2>why would you tell them to go to Indiana? Also,

0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:06.160
<v Speaker 2>they have many more championships than Purdue. Not good.

0:35:07.239 --> 0:35:08.279
<v Speaker 3>Now, he has been on.

0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:11.680
<v Speaker 2>The circuit today a local stuff, national stuff on with

0:35:11.719 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Pat McAfee as well, and in my neck of the

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:18.280
<v Speaker 2>woods in Indianapolis, he was on with a great sports

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:23.439
<v Speaker 2>host by name of Jay Querry and he's like, He's like, look, yeah,

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:25.040
<v Speaker 2>I stuck my foot and I believe one of the

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:27.399
<v Speaker 2>lines he used is I play a lot of golf

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:29.359
<v Speaker 2>and I hit that one directly in the water. There's

0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:32.839
<v Speaker 2>still a lot of holes left to play. I'm telling you,

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:34.960
<v Speaker 2>there had to have been a conversation somewhere about whether

0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:38.480
<v Speaker 2>or not you fire him. That's how insane that statement

0:35:38.560 --> 0:35:45.799
<v Speaker 2>is insane. I don't think it's gonna happen, but it

0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:46.960
<v Speaker 2>had to have been discussed.

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Just wow, I was a miss. This is Tony Katz today.
