Speaker 1: Live from ball Hartbliner and the Crossroads of America. It's
Speaker 1: Tony Katz Today.
Speaker 2: I admit to you that I don't know anything about
Speaker 2: dj A Carrington. What I know is she had the
Speaker 2: flagrant fowl against Sophie Cunningham in that WNBA game and
Speaker 2: she got ejected from the game, right And I know
Speaker 2: that people said, well, Sophie Cunningham, she did exactly the
Speaker 2: same thing last year and she got ejected.
Speaker 3: What's the big deal. Here's no big deal. It was
Speaker 3: a foul, it was a flagrant fowl and she got ejected.
Speaker 2: When Sophie Cunningham did it, it was a flagrant fowl
Speaker 2: and she got ejected.
Speaker 3: Makes perfect sense. The difference is.
Speaker 2: That Sophie Cunningham didn't then go to social media and
Speaker 2: claim white privilege. The racism and bigotry of the WNBA
Speaker 2: on full display, which has always been there, and they
Speaker 2: have not come to a reckoning too. That's all right,
Speaker 2: that's fine. The reckoning has come to them. It's time
Speaker 2: for the ladies to have to deal with that reality.
Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz Today, guys, great to be with You.

Speaker 2: Ian As Canter and Royce White have declared for the
Speaker 2: WNBA draft. These are men who have taken a look
Speaker 2: at the rules and said, well, there's there's nothing here
Speaker 2: that says I can't declare for the WNBA draft. So
Speaker 2: I'm going to declare for the WNBA draft. I'm going
Speaker 2: to say, hey, I am I am of the lady folk, and.
Speaker 3: That's that.
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm not even of the lady folks.
Speaker 2: I just identify and you don't get to ask me.
Speaker 3: What that means. You don't get to have any rules
Speaker 3: about this.
Speaker 2: It's absolutely joyous that this is happening. Allow me to
Speaker 2: further define joyous. Everything involving the idea that men think
Speaker 2: that they could be women is sick, is ugly, is
Speaker 2: meant to illness on display, and is horrifyingly bad. I
Speaker 2: don't believe in attacking the mentally ill. I also do
Speaker 2: not believe in buying into their nonsense. The political left
Speaker 2: did this. Not only did they believe in buying into
Speaker 2: the mental illness, they demanded that you bought into the
Speaker 2: mental illness as well, which is why everybody now has
Speaker 2: their pronouns on LinkedIn. I had somebody try to connect
Speaker 2: with me today on LinkedIn, and they have pronouns, and
Speaker 2: I said, no, thank you. I won't take anybody new.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I ssh you go through,
Speaker 2: and I should get rid of everybody I'm connected to
Speaker 2: who uses pronouns. If you share your pronouns with me,
Speaker 2: why in the world would I want to be connected
Speaker 2: to you on LinkedIn. You're not interested in the work.
Speaker 2: You're not interested in working for me. You're not interested
Speaker 2: in working with me. You're not interested in what you
Speaker 2: actually do. You're interested in posturing. I don't need anybody
Speaker 2: who postures. I can find somebody who postures everywhere. I
Speaker 2: need people who could do the work. I need people
Speaker 2: who know how to work with content creators. I need
Speaker 2: to work with people who know how to get better
Speaker 2: results via social media. I don't need somebody who says
Speaker 2: my pronouns are they them?
Speaker 3: No? I don't want you. I don't want to work
Speaker 3: with you.
Speaker 2: You're not good enough to work with me because you're
Speaker 2: not focused on the right things.
Speaker 3: Not in the slightest The.
Speaker 2: WNBA should have dealt with this, just like they should
Speaker 2: have dealt with.
Speaker 3: The racism of their league. They didn't.
Speaker 2: In the Sophie Cunningham story, where she writes, Dejene Carrington
Speaker 2: writes white privilege, Well, this is a league that sees
Speaker 2: itself as a league for black women and gay women.
Speaker 3: It always has, it always has. I'll say it again,
Speaker 3: it always has. And they don't like the fact that
Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark has come to town. And they don't like
Speaker 3: the fact that Caitlyn Clark is popular.
Speaker 2: They absolutely cannot stand that it is popular, that she
Speaker 2: is popular. They can't stand that Sophie Cunningham would now
Speaker 2: be popular. Don't you know that that's not supposed to be.
Speaker 2: This is a league for this group and that group,
Speaker 2: but not those girls. The bigotry on full display and
Speaker 2: display from players and coaches and the league and the media, etc.
Speaker 3: Put that all to the side.
Speaker 2: Anybody who would say hashtag white privilege to fouling Sophie
Speaker 2: Cunningham and getting thrown out of the game. Is a fool,
Speaker 2: is someone not worth knowing, no leadership skills.
Speaker 3: No value to the league, no value to young women.
Speaker 2: And so I'm perfectly clear if you're a black woman
Speaker 2: who looks at that and says, yeah, good on her,
Speaker 2: My god, are you wrong? You just want the racial divide,
Speaker 2: you want it, And I think that's pretty weird. That's
Speaker 2: pretty ugly stuff. Now we get into the part two
Speaker 2: of the WNBA. They already have a bigotry problem, they've
Speaker 2: had one for years. The part two is this story
Speaker 2: that they can't define what a woman is and they've
Speaker 2: had two men declare for the WNBA draft. This also
Speaker 2: a Sophie Cunningham story, because this Sophie Cunningham story goes
Speaker 2: back to February when she was asked a question and
Speaker 2: she said, I think girls sports should be for girls,
Speaker 2: which is the most normal thing to say in the world.
Speaker 2: And it just got re released a couple weeks ago
Speaker 2: and everybody's been talking about it, losing their minds over it.
Speaker 3: What did we say right from the beginning.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm on the record. She did not say. Sophie
Speaker 2: Cunningham did not say anything remarkable. She said something normal.
Speaker 2: She said something rational. There was no need to comment
Speaker 2: on it other than that, And yet the left one
Speaker 2: to attack her and the right wanted to glorify her,
Speaker 2: and both were wrong. Girls sports should be for girl
Speaker 2: girls is the most normal thing ever. There's nothing new
Speaker 2: to it, nothing at all. But people decide to.
Speaker 3: Lose their minds, and then people want.
Speaker 2: To go out there and protest, like you're mad at
Speaker 2: Sophie Cunningham.
Speaker 3: What you're mad at?
Speaker 2: And it seems very obvious And if the league doesn't
Speaker 2: want to address this, this is no concern of mine.
Speaker 2: You are upset that straight white women who are attractive
Speaker 2: to a lot of people are being noticed because you
Speaker 2: don't want the league to be about that.
Speaker 3: You can't stand that the league has any of that.
Speaker 2: You can't handle the fact you hate the fact that
Speaker 2: there might be attractive people in the league. Well, why
Speaker 2: didn't they notice these attracted people? Are that attractive people?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's because everybody's a racist. Fine, great, everybody's a racist.
Speaker 2: Do you feel better? Did that get you anywhere? Screaming
Speaker 2: that everybody is a racist did not get you charter flights?
Speaker 2: You were flying commercial screaming that everybody was a racist,
Speaker 2: didn't get you sponsors. Now you've got sponsors. Screaming everybody
Speaker 2: was a racist. Didn't get you sold out arenas. Now
Speaker 2: you have sold out arenas. When the Indiana Fever and
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham come to town, oh in
Speaker 2: a whole host of other players, I will keep saying
Speaker 2: it for as long as I can. Eliah Boston has
Speaker 2: been fantastic for that team in a lot of ways,
Speaker 2: A great pickup in the draft, and dear Lord, get
Speaker 2: her the ball more often I'm in Indiana, I pay
Speaker 2: a little bit of attention to the Fever. I can't
Speaker 2: say this about other teams. You can't. You don't accept
Speaker 2: the fact that somebody doesn't.
Speaker 3: Look like you is popular. Maybe those people being.
Speaker 2: Popped will get other people to notice the people you
Speaker 2: want them to notice. Great, terrific, wonderful, But now you
Speaker 2: can't even describe what a woman is.
Speaker 3: Your rules WNBA.
Speaker 2: When Sophie Cunningham said this and the league decided to
Speaker 2: get split on this, and coaches like from the Minnesota
Speaker 2: Links decided to wear shirts that say trans kids belong?
Speaker 3: What do you mean belong?
Speaker 2: The coach of the Golden State Valkyries. Sports is about belonging.
Speaker 3: No it's not.
Speaker 2: Jennifer Say of XXXY Athletics said it correct. This is
Speaker 2: about the elites. This is about the elites. The last
Speaker 2: thing about this is not inclusive at all. It's totally exclusive.
Speaker 2: This is a very special club. But they wouldn't say
Speaker 2: that this is a league for women. They wouldn't stand
Speaker 2: up for women. You didn't like what Sophie Cunningham said, Okay, fine,
Speaker 2: I don't know what she said is weird, odd or strange.
Speaker 3: It was totally normal.
Speaker 2: But now, when confronted with this, you won't even say, look,
Speaker 2: this is a women's league and there's a difference between
Speaker 2: women and men.
Speaker 3: You won't say it. So don't blame this on Sophie Cunningham.
Speaker 2: Blame this on the coach of the Lynx, Sashryl Reeves,
Speaker 2: and blame this.
Speaker 3: On the coach of the Golden State Valkyrie Nicasi.
Speaker 2: They're the ones who did this, and all of those
Speaker 2: people who decide to scream and yell about Sophie Cunningham,
Speaker 2: they created this situation. And so you've got enes Canter
Speaker 2: also known as enes Canter Freedom and Roy Swhite, who
Speaker 2: I know nothing about saying they're going to enter the draft.
Speaker 3: Because there's nothing that.
Speaker 2: Is in there that can be utilized to question him
Speaker 2: him understanding he's a man.
Speaker 3: Please accept This formal.
Speaker 2: Document is my official written notification to the Women's National
Speaker 2: Basketball Association my voluntary decision to enter the player pool
Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty seven and WNBA Draft consistent with
Speaker 2: the current league collective Bargaining Agreement. I am submitting this
Speaker 2: notice to exercise my draft rights and to affirm that
Speaker 2: I at least at twenty two years old and I
Speaker 2: have no remaining intercollegiate eligibility. As required, I request that
Speaker 2: the WNBA League Office verify I receipt of this document
Speaker 2: and direct any future communication to my personal email address
Speaker 2: listed above. Thank you for your official processing and my
Speaker 2: registration into the twenty twenty seven draft pool. Respectfully submitted
Speaker 2: this sixth day of August twenty twenty six. They can't
Speaker 2: explain what a woman is in the WNBA, and now
Speaker 2: they're having a meeting to do just that. WNBA Commissioner
Speaker 2: Kathy Ingelbert, is it Ingelbert Ingelbrecht, isn't it Inglebrecht?
Speaker 3: So what I thought it was? The commissioner, Yeah, it's ingobrect.
Speaker 3: Thank you. The commissioner puts out a memo that says,
Speaker 3: I wanted to.
Speaker 2: Reach out to share how we are approaching these conversations
Speaker 2: at the league office, and to thank those of you
Speaker 2: who have responded to questions from the media with thoughtfulness
Speaker 2: and professionalism. We recognize that this is a complex and
Speaker 2: nuanced topic, and we will continue to have important conversations
Speaker 2: with all of you and the Players Association in the
Speaker 2: weeks and months ahead. We also plan to givene additional
Speaker 2: discussions and offer listening sessions for any team leaders who
Speaker 2: would like to participate. Your perspectives and feedback are invaluable,
Speaker 2: and I appreciate those who have already reached out to
Speaker 2: share their thoughts. It's not nuanced and it's not complex.
Speaker 2: Djna Carrington is a bigot, and the league is chock
Speaker 2: full of bigots who hate the fact that white women
Speaker 2: are seeing success. They hate it. That's on them, not
Speaker 2: on me for noticing. You can send me any email
Speaker 2: you want, Go right ahead, knock yourselves out. You want
Speaker 2: to send me some hate mail, feel free. Let's send
Speaker 2: it to Mark Levin at yahoo dot com. Don't want
Speaker 2: to hear your crap blame her for being a bigot.
Speaker 2: That's on the racism side, not complex, not nuanced, on
Speaker 2: the side of what makes a woman, not complex and
Speaker 2: not nuanced. That you say it's a complex and nuanced topic,
Speaker 2: Kathin Ingelbrecht, makes you the problem commissioner because you can't
Speaker 2: say what is so obvious.
Speaker 3: There's a difference between women and men. Men not women,
Speaker 3: and men are not welcome in this league.
Speaker 2: Can't say the words. You can't say the words. You're
Speaker 2: so afraid of the players. You're so afraid of the coaches.
Speaker 2: You're so afraid, afraid, seemingly of the ownership. You're so
Speaker 2: afraid of the fans. You're so afraid to not be
Speaker 2: invited to the Christmas party that you can't say there's
Speaker 2: a difference between women and men. You can't speak the truth.
Speaker 2: You have been broken.
Speaker 4: They control your speech, they control your honesty, they control
Speaker 4: your decency. You're so afraid of them, you are so afraid.
Speaker 4: You can't say no inenus canter. You can't join because
Speaker 4: you're a man, and this is the league for women.
Speaker 4: Have a nice day. The W stands for women. There's
Speaker 4: a difference between men and women.
Speaker 2: And just because Katanji Brown Jackson, Supreme Court justice is
Speaker 2: too stupid to note the difference. Doesn't mean we are
Speaker 2: of course we're smarter. Then it's Supreme Court justice.
Speaker 3: You can't do it.
Speaker 2: Leftist women can't stand up for women. Neither can leftist men.
Speaker 2: They can't stand up for women. And when they do,
Speaker 2: they get ostracized, they get pushed to the side, they
Speaker 2: get called turfs or whatever bloody heck term they want
Speaker 2: to put out there.
Speaker 3: For JK.
Speaker 2: Rowling and Martina and to Rachelovo, who's wrong in a
Speaker 2: bunch of things, but not on this.
Speaker 3: I don't care how much pain, how much pain.
Speaker 2: They feel. I don't care how upset they get. By
Speaker 2: the way, it's Engelbert, not engel Brecked. I don't know
Speaker 2: why I get that, and I apologize. Kathy Engelbert's b
Speaker 2: e r T. Kathy engel Breckt is someone completely different.
Speaker 2: She's the commissioner. She can't say this, she cannot say
Speaker 2: the basics. The control the left has over these people,
Speaker 2: control their thoughts, control their speech, so much so that
Speaker 2: they can't say the basic truths.
Speaker 3: And at that moment you.
Speaker 2: Realize that Atlas Shrugged was a really good book. I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna sit back, eat some popcorn and watch. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna watch them just absolutely destroy themselves, just absolutely devour themselves.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: It is shameful. We'll see if they figure it out.
Speaker 2: But two guys declaring for the w n B A
Speaker 2: because you know the w NBA wants this and now
Speaker 2: they've got it. Oh oh, those must be some great meetings.
Speaker 2: This is Tony Kats today. I was discussing the DSA
Speaker 2: earlier and I think, I mean, I part of me
Speaker 2: thinks I should save this for for three more things.
Speaker 2: But it's gonna all lead into a conversation about what exactly.
Speaker 3: Is happening in the mid terms. I mean, I hate
Speaker 3: to to break this to people. I don't mean to scare.
Speaker 2: Anybody with with with this kind of commentary, but you all,
Speaker 2: you all understand that we are officially in midterm election season.
Speaker 2: What don't boom me. I didn't do anything wrong. Don't
Speaker 2: get upset with me. It's August. The election is November third.
Speaker 2: We are in it. The kids went back to school.
Speaker 2: That is the firing pistol. We are in election season,
Speaker 2: and how is it that they see victory? Where do
Speaker 2: their victories come from. If this is the kind of
Speaker 2: stuff that the leader of the Democratic Socialists, which is
Speaker 2: now controlling the party, is putting out into the world.
Speaker 5: Tended on October eighth pro Palestinian Prohamas rally, which many
Speaker 5: people saw as a justification of the October seventh attack,
Speaker 5: and some of her tweets have been extremely ugly on
Speaker 5: this score. A do you fully support her in all
Speaker 5: these activities and what she said to say?
Speaker 6: I think dari Alisa can speak for herself, certainly, and
Speaker 6: I think she's apologized for some pieces of that and
Speaker 6: not forth sending that really unapologetic about other pieces of that.
Speaker 3: And do you support her yourself in that? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I do you support the murder of twelve hundred, the
Speaker 2: rape of women, the women, the setting of children on fire.
Speaker 3: That's the dsay. I'm Tony Katz.
Speaker 2: Three more things, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, guys, it's
Speaker 2: great to be with you.
Speaker 3: So here's how we work. Three more things.
Speaker 2: These are things that should be front page news, but
Speaker 2: because of all the things on the front page, doesn't
Speaker 2: make the front pages. So I bring these things to you.
Speaker 2: These are stories that you should know. Of course, we've
Speaker 2: got a ran on the front page and President Trump
Speaker 2: is we're in a low key now, we're in the
Speaker 2: low key war with Iran. I don't know what that's
Speaker 2: supposed to mean at all. I don't know what I'm
Speaker 2: supposed to do with that information.
Speaker 3: Low key. I'm we're just gonna.
Speaker 2: Keep up the the sanctions and we're gonna keep the
Speaker 2: economic pressure on. But that's it. See, this is in
Speaker 2: the hope that we've got some good solid oil prices
Speaker 2: going on. They're all up today. All the barrel price
Speaker 2: stuff is up today, having right, you know, at least
Speaker 2: in the midday, being.
Speaker 3: Up over eighty dollars a barrel.
Speaker 2: But if that's that's why the President wants to play it, fine,
Speaker 2: Just don't tell me that a deal is coming, because
Speaker 2: a deal is never coming.
Speaker 3: There's no one to make a deal with.
Speaker 2: Then you have Columbia with a seven point four magnitude quake.
Speaker 2: The early estimates has seventy three people dead, and I
Speaker 2: think that that's going to be a number based on
Speaker 2: what they're already showing in the imagery, some churches collapsing
Speaker 2: in on themselves right there. It could be that it
Speaker 2: avoided really populous areas. But this number can grow forty
Speaker 2: eight hundred people in this community where the epicenter was,
Speaker 2: but seven point four is going to be felt across.
Speaker 3: The region for sure. While more on that tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Todd Blanche confirmed as the Attorney General. The vote was
Speaker 2: fifty to forty nine. As we discussed it would be
Speaker 2: right here, fifty to forty nine is the vote. Why
Speaker 2: because you had Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski vote no.
Speaker 2: That would have made it fifty one forty nine. Then
Speaker 2: you had Mitch McConnell, who has not been in the Senate.
Speaker 2: He is now at home recovering after being in a
Speaker 2: rehab center from I don't actually know what.
Speaker 3: He did not vote.
Speaker 2: Therefore, no tiebreaker was needed from the Vice President of The
Speaker 2: vote was fifty to forty nine, and Todd Blanche is
Speaker 2: the attorney general. There should have been no one, no
Speaker 2: one at all who voted against.
Speaker 3: Todd Blanche. There was just no need for it, no
Speaker 3: reason for it.
Speaker 2: If Merrick Garland can be confirmed, Todd Blanche could be confirmed,
Speaker 2: then you have the Senate of voting to not shut
Speaker 2: down the government. They voted to have a continuing resolution
Speaker 2: through December, going past the midterms. Avoiding us all together
Speaker 2: now sending it to the House for their vote. I
Speaker 2: guess Democrats decided that there was going to be no
Speaker 2: value in a shutdown. Maybe they saw that the shutdown
Speaker 2: didn't really do them, didn't do them well, didn't make
Speaker 2: their life worthwhile or valuable, didn't give them a good
Speaker 2: bit of a political life. I mean, I'm happy. I'm
Speaker 2: happy that the shutdown is going to be avoided. Then
Speaker 2: you have an interesting note about a billboard in New York.
Speaker 3: There's this billboard that.
Speaker 2: Is in New York and if you see it, you'll
Speaker 2: note that the billboard is an Arabic but the billboard
Speaker 2: is put up by the city.
Speaker 3: Of New York. Why in the world would there be
Speaker 3: this billboard.
Speaker 2: That is in Arabic from the city and that has
Speaker 2: something to do with some I don't know, like a
Speaker 2: subway card or something like that. But as got noted,
Speaker 2: twenty two point seven percent of New Yorker speaks Spanish,
Speaker 2: Chinese is five point four percent, Russia is two and
Speaker 2: a half, and Golli is two point one. Yiddish is
Speaker 2: one point one, Hebrews point six, and Korean point five
Speaker 2: Arabic point four.
Speaker 3: Why is the billboard in Arabic going up. Why why
Speaker 3: is this happening? Why is this happening?
Speaker 2: From Zaron Mamdani, I I think people have ideas and
Speaker 2: thoughts and concepts on conquering and and and I must
Speaker 2: really uh push back against those people who want to
Speaker 2: pretend that somehow it's wrong to notice society, it's wrong
Speaker 2: to notice Islamic history. It's not wrong to notice. Christopher
Speaker 2: Hitchens was talking about this stuff years ago regarding Islam,
Speaker 2: that this is not a religion, it's a political system
Speaker 2: and it is meant for conquest. And I'm sorry if
Speaker 2: anybody who is Muslim is offended. The reality is reality,
Speaker 2: history is there. You can scream about apak in Israel
Speaker 2: all you want. Wars got started with Israel. Israel won them,
Speaker 2: took some of the land, then gave the land back.
Speaker 2: You don't have an argument. Islamists take land and believe
Speaker 2: it's their land for forever, and walk through society's engaging
Speaker 2: in the desire of conquest.
Speaker 3: This is not new, this is what they are moved
Speaker 3: to do. So thus the reality.
Speaker 2: And when the conquest comes, of course, everybody has to
Speaker 2: do what they say, and you have to live by
Speaker 2: their rules, otherwise you get taxed something called the jizya.
Speaker 3: J i z ya. It's a political system. It's not
Speaker 3: a religion. You have to stop thinking of it like
Speaker 3: a religion. Not angry.
Speaker 2: Just stating a fact that it is incompatible with Western
Speaker 2: civilization is a fact. It's not even a surprising fact.
Speaker 2: There's nothing new about it. There's no like, I didn't
Speaker 2: say anything shocking.
Speaker 3: It just is.
Speaker 2: And so when Nancy Mace puts out that Muslim shouldn't
Speaker 2: be elected, people are so absolutely offended.
Speaker 3: Nancy Mace doesn't do a good job of explaining anything.
Speaker 3: She doesn't. I think that she's a woman who had opportunities.
Speaker 2: And she let the opportunities slip her by and decides
Speaker 2: to be just a little too nutty. Margie Taylor Green
Speaker 2: exactly the same, just a different kind of nutty. Are
Speaker 2: we going to pretend that there isn't an issue taking place,
Speaker 2: that we're not seeing the Islamist desire to do away
Speaker 2: with Western civilization and somehow there should be changes to this.
Speaker 2: We have seen this in spots of Michigan, We've seen
Speaker 2: this in spots in Texas. It is a political system
Speaker 2: that simply cannot be trusted is incompatible with the Republic,
Speaker 2: so therefore it can't be.
Speaker 3: That's that is it.
Speaker 2: You can't tell me that the Islamist is not an issue,
Speaker 2: but Waco was.
Speaker 3: Those people were just living their lives, dude.
Speaker 2: We can have a deep conversation about Waco, like we
Speaker 2: gotta have a deep conversation about Ruby Ridge. But they
Speaker 2: were Americans and they just didn't want to participate in
Speaker 2: what the rest.
Speaker 3: Of us were doing.
Speaker 2: I have noticed that the Islamist also does not want
Speaker 2: to participate in what we're doing, but somehow we can't notice.
Speaker 3: That's that's pretty mad, that's pretty nutty. But it isn't
Speaker 3: the only thing that I've got.
Speaker 2: There is a fascinating story about gen Z and in
Speaker 2: New York, The New York Post went and talked to
Speaker 2: some twenty somethings about cigarettes, and it turns out that
Speaker 2: cigarettes are considered cool.
Speaker 3: By gen Z. Why is that?
Speaker 2: It's because they want to be connected to something. They
Speaker 2: want an actual experience, They want to be a part
Speaker 2: of something. I was telling the story earlier that my
Speaker 2: oldest we were in a thrift store and there was
Speaker 2: a stereo system didn't have the individual components where all
Speaker 2: the components were put together, the old Sony ones, you know,
Speaker 2: and you couldn't afford the individual components, so you got
Speaker 2: this and it had the five CD carousel and had
Speaker 2: the two cassette players that had a small equalizer. He
Speaker 2: was mesmerized, couldn't figure out how the cassettes worked. So
Speaker 2: I hit eject into the slow open and he was like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's amazing, and then he went he plugged it in
Speaker 2: and was able to open the carousel. He's like, the
Speaker 2: thing spins and it's you can put all the distance up.
Speaker 3: And why were we in the thrift story? He was
Speaker 3: buying CDs.
Speaker 2: Because it's tactile and it's connected, and this generation is
Speaker 2: exhausted by all things digital in all places. They want
Speaker 2: that connection. We've talked about it before. Smoking. Now my
Speaker 2: oldest has said, I have no interest in smoking, but
Speaker 2: admittedly it looks cool. And I said, if you're smoking cigars, yes,
Speaker 2: everything else can't.
Speaker 3: I'm not down with that. And also if I said
Speaker 3: this earlier too, give me ten gen.
Speaker 2: Zers who want to have a cigar one on one
Speaker 2: class and I will host it.
Speaker 3: I will take care of it.
Speaker 2: I will do cigars one on one with gen Z
Speaker 2: happy to put that together. They want connection. I think
Speaker 2: it's great. No, I don't think smoking cigarettes is great.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be the guy who's down for that.
Speaker 3: But I think that.

Speaker 2: Lot that can be discussed with them. I think they

Speaker 2: a right back. We really do think there is something
Speaker 2: to this idea of as we're in midterm season. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is it. Primaries are basically Dyna mean, you've still
Speaker 2: got Wisconsin this week, a couple of small things, but.
Speaker 3: Everybody's in it. We're in midterm season.
Speaker 2: The midterms are November three, Tony Katz, Tony Kats today,
Speaker 2: and I take a look at generic balloting. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: get more into this. Democrats are up a little bit
Speaker 2: plus seventh the generic ballot.
Speaker 3: Then again, they.
Speaker 2: Told us that Abduel say Ed was up like thirteen
Speaker 2: against Haley Stevens.
Speaker 3: He won by one. So maybe the posters are wrong,
Speaker 3: And maybe the.
Speaker 2: Reason they're wrong is because there's madness like this, this
Speaker 2: conversation that ross doubt that had.
Speaker 7: Are you listening or overweighting the votes of younger people
Speaker 7: or assigning the youngest eligible voters proxy votes for the
Speaker 7: unrepresented children of our country? So those are edg why
Speaker 7: not assign them to those children's parents? Well, because there's
Speaker 7: a divergence of interest between parents and children, and I
Speaker 7: think it's likelier that young people, not people who are
Speaker 7: raising families will have the best insight into the interests
Speaker 7: of children, whereas you, if you were awarded five I
Speaker 7: think that as I think it's absurd to imagine that
Speaker 7: a twenty four year old recent college graduate has a
Speaker 7: better assessment of the interests of my own children than
Speaker 7: I do. And I say this with all due respect
Speaker 7: to twenty four year old recent college graduates of.
Speaker 3: Whom I hope to be the parent of in nine
Speaker 3: years or so.
Speaker 7: I think parents generally confuse the interests of their family
Speaker 7: with the interests of their children.
Speaker 2: That's the left, the person saying that's deaf, that's Roth
Speaker 2: Dathat formerly The New York Times, now with sixty minutes.
Speaker 3: But that's the left.
Speaker 2: You don't have your children's best interest at heart, So
Speaker 2: therefore we.
Speaker 3: Have to take it away from the parent, because we
Speaker 3: have to have the children's best interest at heart.
Speaker 2: Who's we people you want to let near your children?
Speaker 3: How do you expect to win elections like this? That's
Speaker 3: the question. I'm Tony kat
