1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: So I'm out for one day and next thing you know, 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: President Trump completely loses his mind. I swear to you, 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: if I wasn't here, that man would go totally over 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: the edge. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be 5 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: with you. Find everything at Tony kats dot com. What 6 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: did he do? An executive order on flag burning? Gosh, 7 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: nobody asked for this. Nobody wants us well, Tony, was 8 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: a campaign promise. Listen to me carefully. Flag burning is 9 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: protected by the Constitution and people who burn the flag 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: are morons. Two things true. At the same time. We 11 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: allow people to be morons in the United States. This 12 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: is a mistake from the Trump White House. They're all wrong. 13 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't care what Caroline Levitt says about it, she's wrong. 14 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: I don't care what Stephen Chunk says about it. He's wrong. 15 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: I don't care what Jade Van says about it. He's wrong. 16 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: If you say to me, they all say you shouldn't 17 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: burn the American flag, it's disgusting and despicable. All wholeheartedly 18 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: agree they're right. That would be accurate. It should be 19 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: against the law to burn the flag. What are we doing? 20 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: What are we doing? President Trump is wrong, and the 21 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: problem is no one will say so, well, at least 22 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: in his circle, because to my to my joy, actually, 23 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: I saw a lot of radio people saying this, this 24 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: is crazy. I voted for Trump, I would vote for 25 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: Trump again. He's wrong here. I saw some of my 26 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: fellow host that I saw, Jesse Kelly saying, I fought 27 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: for the flag. I love the flag. This is as 28 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: close as I've ever gotten to wanting to burn the flag, 29 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: just to explain that, of course someone could do this, 30 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: What the hell is wrong with us? It's true. I saw, 31 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: I saw him, I saw Dana Lash, of course Kira Davis, 32 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: who filled in for me just yesterday. Guys, there is 33 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: a right side and a wrong side to this subject. 34 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: This is not about whether or not you think that 35 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: that flag burning is gross. I agree it's gross. I 36 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: agree that it's obscene. But dear Lord, we're going to 37 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna put out executive orders. We're wasting time, and 38 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: I am not interested in time being wasted. What I 39 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: am looking for is focus the border, the economy, the military. 40 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: I want the Epstein files. I want to know why 41 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: Adam Schiff is allowed to walk as a freeman if 42 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: he did indeed on a mortgage application, say he's a 43 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: resident of Maryland to get a better rate. Because he's 44 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: not a resident of Maryland, he's a resident of California, 45 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: where he is the Senator. And if he did it, 46 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: I want him throw it out of the Senate. I 47 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: want to know why Representative mcgiver of New Jersey who 48 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: attacked ice agents, it's still a member of the House 49 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: of Representatives. Why hasn't she been expelled? Oh got a list. 50 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: You know what's not on my list? Criminalizing burning the 51 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: American flag because that's a waste of time. Respect for 52 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: the flag comes when the nation starts to respect itself, 53 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: and over the years, the nation hasn't respected itself, and 54 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: thus we've seen increases of insanity and ridiculousness. Of course, 55 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: this was a big anti war thing done in the 56 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: sixties by the Abby Hoffman freak set. Oh, I can't 57 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: talk bad about Abbi Hoffman. Watch me. This is just 58 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: a throwback to people pretending they're in the sixties because 59 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: they're all play acting, except of course for the Prohamaque set, 60 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: who really want to destroy Western civilization. And we shouldn't 61 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: be letting those people into the country. Anyway, I'll get 62 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: to that. But the President is wasting his time and 63 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: is looking the part of the fool ib He's going 64 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: to be engaging executive orders stating that you can't burn 65 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: the flag. He's just wrong and should be told so. 66 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: When I was a fool, when I first start at 67 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: Tony Katz dot com as a website years ago, years ago, 68 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 1: I had the humorist to think that I could just 69 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: start a career I had on there. It's a true story, 70 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: a flag burning kit. It was meant to be satirical 71 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: and it was meant to be shocking. I never actually 72 00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: sold anything. I wasn't about to sell lighter fluid. It's 73 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: a flag burning kit, because you know, I was dumb 74 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: and I was making the point that you could do this, 75 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: and I'm a believer in free speech. I think I 76 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: can make a much more compelling argument about how I'm 77 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: a believer of free speech then setting a flag on fire. 78 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: I've gotten better at this, but as a matter of concept, well, yeah, 79 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: it was something you're allowed to do in the United States. 80 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: You're allowed to do this. And the President engaging this 81 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: way is engaging a conversation of the executive thinking of 82 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: ways to curtail free speech, and that is wrong. And 83 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: if Caroline Levitt wants to argue it, she would be wrong. 84 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: If Stephen Chung wants to argue it, he would be wrong. 85 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: And name the person, name the pro Trump person, they 86 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: would be wrong. This is one of to me, one 87 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: of the horrors of populism in that it says we 88 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: don't like this, everyone says yeah, that's a idea, And 89 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: emotions win the day and not rationality, and people think 90 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: their emotional argument gives them some kind of credibility, and 91 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: then people utilize an emotional argument to engage aggressively against 92 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: those who disagree with them. It's a leftist tactic. I 93 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: don't think the people who support Trump, who support the 94 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: populism see themselves as leftists, but then again, I don't 95 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: know if they ever take the time to really see themselves. 96 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: I voted for Trump three times. I was right. I 97 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: was right all three times. And as a follow up, 98 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: I'm better off with Donald Trump in office than Joe 99 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: Biden any day of the week and twice on Sunday. 100 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: And one of the reasons I'm better off is that 101 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: having this conversation, if there's enough of us President Trump 102 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: might realize the mistake. It might quietly disappear in a month. 103 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: Not Joe Biden, not Kamala Harris. This is a stake 104 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: because first, it is the executive branch stepping on free speech. 105 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: That is not the job of the executive branch. It 106 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: is to enforce the laws on the books which ensure 107 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: free speech, and to take those people who try to 108 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: deny it, like on college campuses, and tell them goodbye. 109 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,559 Speaker 1: Not the citizen, the people who are trying to stop 110 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: other citizens from being able to express themselves or walk 111 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: across college campus, whatever the case may be. So to 112 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: that level it is a failure of duty. I don't 113 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: want them to fail. The other part of this taking 114 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: your eye off the ball? What are you doing? The 115 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: hell are you focusing on this for? I didn't pay 116 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: you for this. I don't pay you for this, Well, Tony, 117 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't take a salary. I didn't vote for this 118 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: deportation of illegal immigrants. I voted for this, creating a 119 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: navy of three hundred and forty ships that scares the 120 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: Chinese out of their own skin. I paid for that. 121 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: I'm sorry I've voted for that. I would also pay 122 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: for that. I voted for that. I didn't vote for silliness. 123 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: I didn't vote to take my eye off the ball. 124 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: I voted to see things move fast, to move fast 125 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: and break things, I think is a fine approach. This 126 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: wasn't broken. This is a mistake. Telling people to stop 127 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: thinking about Jeffrey Epstein and stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein. 128 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: Why is everything about Jeffrey Epstein was a mistake? Says this, 129 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: And I argued that this was not as egregious as 130 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. When I think about it, it's more egregious. 131 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: As much as I am disgusted by anybody who is 132 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: abusing children, I want those people in jail. I can't 133 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: have that conversation in my First Amendment rights are bridge. No, 134 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: this executive order isn't stopped me from speaking today. You're 135 00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 1: absolutely correct about that. Anything that would lead down the road, 136 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: I think we should stop before it ever gets a 137 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: chance to touch the pavement. This executive order is a terrible, 138 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: terrible idea. Rescind it immediately and don't burn the flat. 139 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: Don't be a bove. This is Tony KapS today.
