WEBVTT - Tony Katz Today Full Show - 08/12/26 0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:10.760 Live from ball Hartland and the Crossroads of America. It's 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:40.920 Tony Katz Today. I'm taking a look at these primaries. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:44.080 I'm taking a look. 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:52.040 At what happened in Wisconsin, and I am saying to myself, 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.720 my gosh, can. 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.320 Nobody get any polling right? Now? It wasn't true in 0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:59.080 all places. 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:04.600 They certainly got pulling right in for example, wisconsint No, 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:12.920 I'm sorry Minnesota, but they absolutely got it wrong, horrifically, 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:18.760 horrifically wrong in Wisconsin, so much so that we have 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.280 to ask ourselves if we're gonna believe anything they have 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.840 to say. Tony Katz, Tony Katz Today and absolute pleasure, guys, 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.720 glad that you are here live streaming as we do 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.880 on the YouTube's and on Rumble. Just go to Tony 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.280 Kat's look for the channel Tony Kats Today and make 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.840 it happen on the Twitter ex Tony Katz and Facebook 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:43.240 Tony Kats Radio. Now, some things weren't a surprise, right, 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.520 Peggy Flanagan winning the Senate primary for the Democrats in 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.560 Minnesota or Andrey Craig is not a surprise. They went 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.440 with the lieutenant governor. She had name recognition. Of course, 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.520 this is the one who says, protect trans kids. We're 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.840 wearing a T shirt that has a knife on it, right, 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.040 says protect trans kids, and it's got the knife on it, 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.360 because she's going to be really tough. If you don't 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.040 protect those trans kids. My gosh, if you don't let 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:08.040 us mutilate children, I'm going to be so angry with you. Meanwhile, 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.800 in Connecticut, they just stopped allowing that procedure to take place. 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:18.280 They said, no more mutilating children, which is of course 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.720 the right response. And we should go a step further 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.440 that the doctors who engage in child mutilation should be questioned. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.840 No, no, no, no, no no. This isn't a. 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:34.280 Medical practice we find okay, top surgery, bottom surgery, chemical castration, 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.440 all of it has to go. Children are not adults 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.320 and we don't allow them to define themselves in this 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.640 way or mutilate themselves this way. And anybody who wants 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.000 to give children agency is out of their heads and 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.280 is a danger to those children. Show me the person 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.919 who wants to give a child agency, and I will 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.079 show you the person who wants to abuse that child. 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.560 I said it, I meant it, you can quote me. 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:03.720 I'm cool with it. Peggy flying again wins that. But 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.000 this is this is Minnesota. This is the land of 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:14.040 the DFL. And with the DFL in Minnesota, being radically 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:19.679 left is part of their charm. And when I say charm, 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:24.640 I'm not referring to any kind of charm whatsoever whatsoever. DFL, 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:29.079 Democratic Farmer Labor, this is their party. They've always been 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:34.120 more left. That's that's who they are. I mean, this 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:38.200 is the place that elects Tim Walls. And if Tim 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.600 Walls hadn't been basically thrown to the side by videos 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.080 by Nick Shirley and reporting by City Journal and others, 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:47.640 well then he'd be running. 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.120 But he knew it was gonna be too much because 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.880 you know, he knew about the fraud and didn't tell nobody. 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.840 Wait, that's just me, that's my That's what I suspect. 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:04.480 Innocent until proven guilty. So she wins, and Amy Klobachar 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.040 is now the Democrats nominee to be governor. 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:12.400 Amy Klobachar, you know who never found a staple. She 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.240 didn't love. She's an odd bird. 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.000 Something about her. I've always like, I think I've met 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:23.120 her once. I forget where we were where, I some 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.480 some caucus, maybe we were in Iowa, and I thought 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.119 she was mostly lovely. You know, I met w Washerman Schultz. 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.280 I thought she was mostly lovely. Her politics are sinning 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.880 against nature, but her I thought she was lovely. Clobachar 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.080 I always thought somewhere in her was the capacity to 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:43.160 be normal, and she just never just never embraced that 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:48.000 that idea. That's Minnesota. Then you had South Carolina. South 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:52.640 Carolina was interesting. South Carolina was interesting because this was 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:58.280 the special right, this was about replacing the late Senator 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.400 Lindsey Graham. So you take a look at the data, 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.080 and you take a look at the map, and the 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:08.240 map is interesting. So you had Darlene Graham Nardonne, who's 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.400 the sister. You had Ralph Norman. You have Russell Fry 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.520 Russell Norman, I'm sorry, Ralph Norman, the Congressman. We know 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:23.040 that Darlene, she was picked to replace Lindsey Graham to 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:27.719 finish out his term. Right, so she's the Senator, But 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:32.640 we also know that Lindsay Graham was on the ballot 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.839 for re election. So they're having a special election to 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.400 determine who will be on the ballot for the reelection 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:45.440 for November. Right, The midterm. In this special election, Darlene 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.400 Graham comes in first, but she only gets thirty two 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.480 point seven percent of the vote. Ralph Norman comes in 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.159 second with twenty four point six percent. 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.760 Russell fry in third with nineteen point six percent. 0:05:56.240 --> 0:06:00.159 Top two vote getters Graham and Norman, they move on 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.520 to a runoff on August twenty fifth to determine who 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:09.320 will be on the ballot November three. That's that has 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:13.720 not much time to run for office. They both at least. 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.400 Can say that they have some name. 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:16.640 I D. 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:21.120 Graham as a congressman, I'm sorry, Norman as a congressman, 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.080 Graham as Graham. 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:27.479 You take a look. 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:31.480 At the map and you see green, red, and kind 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:36.360 of purple blue. The green was Ralph Norman, the red 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.360 is Darlene Graham, and the blue is Russell Frye, and 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:45.040 it segments out to where they're located. Ralph Norman wins 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:50.040 the north, Russell Frye wins the east, and Darlene Graham 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:54.480 wins the rest. So Columbia and Charleston go for Graham. 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.159 Now the question before us is going to be what 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:04.240 happens to Russell fry Voters sixty five seven and fourteen 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.640 of them who absolutely could tip the scales in this election. 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.480 What we know about them is that they definitely didn't 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.920 vote for Darlen Graham. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.120 So does that mean that they are opposed to Darlene Graham? 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.800 To see this, Ah, I'm not a South Carolina expert, 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:22.400 and neither of you. 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.160 This gets really interesting. 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:29.840 A special election in two weeks, This to me is 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.679 absolutely a bourbon and popcorn event. Just don't get yourself 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.000 too wrapped up in it. Just watch it and see 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:42.680 what happens. This is really interesting. I mean, the circumstance 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.600 is odd. A senator dies, a sister is filling the term, 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.840 the sisters running to replace him on the ballot, and 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.840 does not get the overwhelming support, and there is a 0:07:52.960 --> 0:08:00.760 spoiler section of the state at play. Honestly, I'm just 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.960 that's my own kind of curios I'm very interested in 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:10.840 what happens here. But the story, kids, the story is Wisconsin. 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:17.800 The Wisconsin primary is the most surreal thing in the world. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:19.840 We're talking about the Democrats here. We already knew that 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.160 Tom Tiffany was going to be the Republican and he 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:28.000 will go up against David Crowley, And you're like, excuse me, Tony, Tony, Tony, 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:32.040 mister Katz, sir you with the hair and the great stuff. 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:33.160 Excuse me. 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:37.600 That's supposed to be Francesca Hung, right, the crazed socialist, 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.679 the one who wants to cancel Thanksgiving. She's supposed to 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.000 be the winner here. Everybody knows that. The poll said, so, 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:48.240 that's right. The poll said, so you bet your sweet 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.200 but bippi, the poll said so. 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:55.079 Check out these numbers. This was the polling. 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.240 This is from RealClearPolitics, realclearpolling dot com. 0:08:58.679 --> 0:08:59.840 These were the numbers. 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:06.920 If you take a look at the last five polls 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.920 now where it says current results, that's the win for Crowley. 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:17.199 The last five has Francesca Hung, this commy weirdo freak 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:23.320 show up by double digits plus eleven plus thirteen plus 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:27.520 twenty plus twenty two plus eighteen. 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:36.000 Plus twenty two. Holy crop. That should be a blowout. 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:42.200 That should be remarkable. She should have walked away with 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:50.440 this with everything in her Nope. David Crowley gets three 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:54.400 hundred and fifteen two hundred and thirty five votes. Francesca 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.160 Hung gets three hundred and eleven four hundred and seventy 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:01.760 five votes, thirty nine point eight one percent versus thirty 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:03.560 nine point thirty three percent. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.520 He wins by half a percent. 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:12.400 Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to ask you a very 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:21.559 specific question. The question goes as follows, How in the world, 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.600 How in the world am I supposed to in any 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:32.040 way trust polling? If they can say someone is leading 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:36.719 by twenty two points and then they lose by half a. 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:43.800 Point, how do I do that? Can someone work me 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:45.040 through that? As I light my cigar? 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:50.880 Here, how do you lead by twenty two points and 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:55.800 then lose by half a point? I put forth to 0:10:55.840 --> 0:11:01.800 you that that's impossible. That can't happen. Something has to 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:06.000 be wrong. Now you say to me, Tony, it's possible 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:07.320 for posters to make a mistake. 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:09.120 I wholeheartedly agree. 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.440 It is not an exact science, and it is possible 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:21.160 for polsters to make a mistake. One thousand percent true, 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:26.600 ten thousand percent true. Can I take a look for 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:31.880 a moment at the race between abdul elsa Ed and 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.800 what's her name? Oh, the one who sounds like Marge Simpson. Oh, 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:43.640 you know her, you know her. You know who I'm 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:48.800 talking about. Everybody knows who I'm talking about. She's a 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:50.120 Oh that's right. 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:50.880 It's her. 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.840 A little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy, 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:55.200 and a little bit. 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:56.679 Of sicket to them. 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:01.320 Haley Stevens, Haley, steph I forgot Stevens, but we're never 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:02.360 gonna forget this. 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.160 A little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy, 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.160 and a little bit of sicket to them. 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:13.760 Good lord, that's so good. If I take a look 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:22.560 at the polling from that race, you know what I get. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:30.760 I get Abdullah al saiaed up by double digits. That's 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.520 what I get. I get Elsai ed up by double digits. 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.000 He was up, if my math is correct, thirteen and 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:41.680 a half points in the overall. He won by a percent. 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:47.240 He won by one percent. He was up by thirteen 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:53.600 point five. Now I have Francesca Hong up twenty two 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.600 points in some polls. If I average it all together, 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.680 could we at least say she's up fifteen double digits, 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.559 clear double digits, fifteen points. 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:04.560 Look at the dang numbers. 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:11.079 She loses by half a point. How do you miss 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:17.960 that greatly? This is my question, What the hell is 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:23.240 going on? I don't believe it is possible to miss 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.680 this greatly. I've been trying to figure out where the 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.200 issue is. There could be an issue in methodology, for sure, 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:31.880 there could be an issue in methodology. 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.320 But now there's an issue in Michigan, and now there's 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:43.679 an issue in Wisconsin. Huh okay, all same polling outfits, 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.920 they could have the same methodology methodology issue. 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:55.880 Absolutely, it could be that the pollsters. It could be 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:02.880 that the pollsters they yeah, they're asking the wrong questions 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.000 because they don't quite understand. 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.480 What this new voter is like. 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.400 They don't understand this party, they don't understand how they 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:19.160 act and interact. Could be that they're asking the wrong 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:26.520 people methodology, wrong questions, ask to the wrong people. It's 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:31.640 all possible. Or all of these outfits are putting their 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.600 thumb on the scale to try and create a certain advantage. 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:40.080 Now that one is the most conspiratorial. That's a hard 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.880 one for me to buy into. Although everything is possible, 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.600 hard one for me to buy into. I'm not saying 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.240 it couldn't happen. I'm just saying it's a hard one 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:54.520 for me to buy into. Seriously, that's I'm not I'm 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:59.880 not I'm not there for that. What I can tell 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:04.160 you you guys, is, as we go forward into the midterms. 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:09.760 I will not believe a single pole out of Michigan 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:14.560 or Wisconsin, not a one. Won't believe it for a second, 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.680 Absolutely not. They could talk to me. 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.880 About how well Abdul say Ed is doing. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.640 In Michigan and I will say, I'm sorry. They had 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.360 him up by thirteen and a half points and he 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:27.600 won by a percent. Nope, not buying it. Not buying it. 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:29.880 And I don't think you should buy it either. 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.080 Well, Tony, doesn't this fit into your theory that you 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:36.080 should never believe any pole. My theory for years is 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:40.000 never believed just one pole. Never look at one pole 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.840 and say, well that's fact. It's not fact. It's a 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.840 snapshot in time that doesn't tell any story outside of it. 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:50.960 It has zero bearing on reality, the fact of politicos 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.080 and people desperate to fill colum inches will talk about 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.680 it at nauseum on cable news and other places. Well, 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.440 that's because they have nothing else to say. They have 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.640 nothing in their minds. They are empty vessels. But that's 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:07.200 enough about Jim Acosta. Never believe just one poll. What 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.800 these poles have shown me is that I can't trust anything. 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:16.800 Some people want to argue that what happened in in 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:25.320 Wisconsin was actually a snowjob. What happened there is that 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:29.720 they knew that Francesca Hang was going to get ripped apart, 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:35.320 so the Democratic Party did some finagling and some flubbing 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:40.680 to make sure that she lost. Great conspiracy theory, Democrats 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.760 going after Democrats to keep Democrats from getting the person 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.200 they voted for. I mean, that's how we got Kamala 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:47.320 Harris as a nominee. 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:54.120 We've seen this before. The story here isn't even who won, 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:54.760 you know, So I'm. 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:56.960 Not talking about David Crowley and Wisconsin at all in 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.280 that race against Tom Tiffany. I'm talking about what they 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.159 told us. None of it makes sense and none of 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:07.720 it lines up. And that's the whole story, and we 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.680 got to find out why. That's my plan. 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:11.919 Keep it here. 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.240 I'm Tony Katz and this is Tony Katz Today. There 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:15.080 was a question the. 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.720 Other day of where the heck has Mark Rubio been? 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.520 And the answer is Mark Rubio is doing a podcast. 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.320 Then he's not hosting a podcast. He was on Katie 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.200 Miller's show, Tony Katz, Tony Katz Today, Good to be 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:34.119 with you. Katie Miller is the lovely person. She was 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.520 doing work in the first Trump administration. I got to 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.040 talk to her then and at an event at the 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:43.119 White House. She was beyond lovely. She is the wife 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.199 of Stephen Miller. I think they were just dating at 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.280 the time. Absolutely lovely person. 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:49.320 When I learned that. 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:53.400 Katie Miller had dated Eric Swallwell back in the day, 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.320 I was like, I don't even know how to process that. 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:57.639 And I learned that the other day, I was like, 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:01.520 my gosh, who knew. So he does this this podcast 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:05.119 and because of connection, she gets access to everybody. One 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:09.359 of the people she gets access to is the Secretary 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.400 of State, Marco Rubio and his wife. 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.000 And this is the. 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.520 Conversation I did. Hold on a second, let me make 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:18.919 sure that you get the conversation. 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:19.919 Listen. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.200 I did at one time, maybe four or five years ago, 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.320 I tried this thing called keto. You've heard of it, yes, 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.520 And you just eat all this protein and so you 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:34.000 go through this massive withdrawal from sugar and carbohydrates for 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.320 the first seventy two hours. It was a near psychotic event. 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.639 This. I did this in this job. I would mean 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:41.840 the mister president, we must. 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.199 Bomb you know, you know Paraguay, and it's like why, 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:45.480 I don't know, I'm just really mad. 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:45.800 At having it. 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.720 Okay, he's sitting next to his wife having this conversation 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:50.280 about Keto. 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.800 You might look at that and say whatever, I don't care. 0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:03.760 Every time there is another photo of Marco Rubio sitting 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:05.920 there in the ovo, and it gets AI manipulated to 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:07.880 put him into some kind of costume or some kind 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.120 of thing like, Oh, he's gonna have to go run 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.159 this country today. Oh, he's gonna have to take on 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:12.960 that job today. 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:14.399 Everything like this. 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.760 Builds him as a presidential candidate you can connect with 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:23.760 in ways that jd Vance does not come close to. 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.400 Now. You might disagree on that, you may want Jadvance 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:27.639 or Marco Rubio we get. 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.240 A degree or disagree about that, but when it comes 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:34.920 to the presentation, the likability, the connection. 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:40.119 He's off with charts. This is Tony Katz today. 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:44.800 I despise a flock camera as much as anybody. 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:49.440 The flock cameras are a problem. 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:52.000 And even if they're not flock and they belong to 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.640 another company, all of. 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.080 This is a problem. Tony Katz. 0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:59.320 Tony Katz today, so good to be with you, guys, 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:00.800 Live streaming YouTube Rumble. 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:02.120 Come check it out. 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:06.200 Look for Tony Kats Today and on Twitter x Tony Kats, Facebook, 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:07.520 Tonycats Radio. 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:12.840 What's happening is that cities are. 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:17.440 Saying we need to protect the people dun du dum, 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.359 and so they get these cameras from a company called 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:26.520 flock Flock. And what these cameras do is you can 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:28.639 go to flocksafety dot com and learn about them. 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:31.560 I own no part of this, and I would say 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:32.520 right now. 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.600 To my financial people who I know are listening, if 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:39.679 I am anywhere in a fund that is even close 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:41.960 to owning anything owned. 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.920 By flock, get me out of it right now. I am. 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:49.479 I don't care, don't care, don't care, don't care. Not 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:55.919 supporting this nonsense. The Flock cameras connect communities, businesses, and 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.200 public safety so incidents can be understood clearly in decisions 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:04.000 can be made on acts. Flock cameras surveil your every 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.680 movement in a city so the police can monitor you. Now, 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:13.000 police will disagree with my assessment. I can appreciate that 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:16.280 they may disagree. It doesn't change the fact that I'm right, 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:18.920 and I will debate this with any police officer anywhere, 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:23.760 any sheriff anywhere, any law enforcement anywhere, any elected official anywhere. 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:28.960 This is about surveillance of the people, and government has 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:31.960 no right to do that. The argument will come back 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.440 that Tony, you know you are not guaranteed privacy in 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:41.040 public spaces. I accept this. I absolutely agree with you. You 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:44.560 are ten bajillion percent correct. When you are in a 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:48.359 public space, when you're walking down the street, you don't 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:52.400 have any expectation of privacy. 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:57.840 I agree. I don't have privacy from the public. 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:02.720 That is not an invitation for the government to track 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:07.159 my whereabouts, track my car, track where I drive to, 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:09.600 track where I walk into, track, where I walk out 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:12.000 of track, who I talk to. You want to track me, 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:16.639 you get a warrants kitten. I am not interested in 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:19.240 what you're trying to get done. I'm interested in my 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:22.399 ability to move about my city, my community, my town, 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:28.159 my neighborhood, my state, my country free of government surveillance. 0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:34.280 So it can be said clearly, I don't care if 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:38.040 your job is made easier by the flock camera. Your 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:41.400 problem is yours. You chose to be in law enforcement. 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:47.679 It's not easy. I respect it. I don't respect it 0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:50.679 enough to give up my rights for it, though absolutely not. 0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:55.719 I won't give up a single right to make your 0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:56.480 job easier. 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:02.760 I could right now without any hesitation, ladies and gentlemen, 0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:08.720 I could end all crime in America after six pm 0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:09.760 Monday through Sunday. 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:10.960 I could end it. 0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:15.000 By telling Americans they're not allowed to leave their house 0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:19.600 after six pm Monday through Sunday, six pm to six am. 0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:22.600 That's the curfew. You have to be inside your home. 0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:26.440 You're not even allowed to utilize. 0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:28.600 The land of your home. You just got to be inside. 0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:31.400 And I can end crime after six pm. I could 0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:37.399 end it. Easies can be to the irrational thought. 0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:43.600 Though irrational thought, the idea that you could be ordered 0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:44.760 inside your home. 0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:48.640 Police are out of their minds. And we have seen 0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:51.480 some videos like this wasn't it Minnesota where. 0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:54.680 Police and they were well armed. We're going down the 0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:56.880 street where they was this about COVID stuff. They're looking 0:23:56.880 --> 0:23:58.280 for stuff and people are on their porch and they're 0:23:58.320 --> 0:23:59.800 screaming get in your house, and people like I don't 0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:02.959 think at my house. They shot bean bags at citizens. 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:07.400 You think Derek Shalvin should be in jail. Throw all 0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:13.439 those guys in jail. Oh, zero respect for any of 0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:19.399 that government has no right to surveil me, none, zero. 0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:22.080 The flock camera is about surveillance, and there's another one 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:26.960 is alone along a lon I think it is. It's 0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:32.439 all the same stuff. They have no rights to surveil 0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:35.640 you whatsoever. And you're hearing more and more about this, 0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:39.159 and people are more and more disgusted by it. The 0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:43.679 problem is some of them are taking things into their 0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:50.639 own hands and they're doing things like cutting down the cameras. 0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:53.240 This happened, This has happened a couple places, most recently 0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:59.359 at Ball State University, which is in Munsey, Indiana. You 0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:03.720 had Ball State University police officers notified that a flock 0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:07.080 camera had been cut down. They found the camera lying 0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:10.280 on the ground, the solar panels shattered, power cables cut, 0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:13.760 and then they found the video of a white Chevy 0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:17.239 pulling up to the flock camera. Two men dressed in 0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:20.200 black exiting the truck, walked up to the flock cameras 0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:23.840 with a reciprocating saw and cut down the camera's mounting pole. 0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:32.119 You can't do that. You can't do that. You can't 0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:34.880 get me to sit here and say I understand it. 0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:40.120 I can't be the guy who says oh, vandalism, that's 0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:44.480 the way. What you're supposed to do is vote everybody out. 0:25:45.760 --> 0:25:47.320 What you're supposed to do is not give them a 0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.480 moment's worth of rest. What you're supposed to do is 0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:52.840 every time they are in the public street, you're supposed 0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:57.159 to videotape them and post it. Make them feel the 0:25:57.200 --> 0:26:02.080 heat in all the ways that are legal rational. Now, 0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:04.440 I must admit I've never been a guy who likes 0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:07.680 the idea of the tracker. Do you know the trackers? 0:26:08.359 --> 0:26:11.159 They follow candidates everywhere, They follow politicos everywhere. 0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:16.440 This is their job. It's disturbing and it's ugly and. 0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:22.920 It's it's gross. But if the city and the state 0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:25.240 are saying we have the right to availue, well you're 0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:28.680 the elected official. You ever notice that the elected official things, 0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:30.600 They can do anything. But if you want to discuss 0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:32.960 things at the elected official in the public setting, well. 0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:34.360 You have to use a certain set of decorum. 0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:36.160 You're not allowed to raise your voice, You're not allowed 0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:37.640 to say this, You're not allowed to do that. They've 0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:43.159 got rules of plenty. It's like the TSA. When the 0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:47.320 TSA you're heading to the airport, you're there at the airport, 0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:51.240 and the TSA has signs if you're rude, if you're abusive, 0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:53.600 if you're this, if you're that, well, then you're gonna 0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:57.240 get arrested. And the TSA is screaming at you about 0:26:57.320 --> 0:26:59.639 whether your laptops in and your laptops out, and you 0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:01.840 app this, you have to do that. No one's ever 0:27:01.920 --> 0:27:05.960 being polite or respectful, decent or kind, but they're letting 0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:08.679 you know right off the bat that you are just 0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:11.800 lucky to be there, and anytime they feel you're getting 0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:13.880 just to weep it up and you're going to jail. 0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:16.640 You're certainly missing your flight, and they're gonna wear five 0:27:16.680 --> 0:27:18.919 blue gloves at once, but you are going to get 0:27:18.920 --> 0:27:21.680 yourself in cavity search and not the fun kind. 0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:25.560 There are fun kinds. I leave that for others. 0:27:27.440 --> 0:27:30.480 This is a gross way for things to act, for 0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:34.280 people to act with things to be. You can't engage 0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:38.280 in the vandalism. You can't get me to condone that stuff. 0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:43.520 But if these cities don't understand that the flock cameras 0:27:43.560 --> 0:27:46.480 are wrong, the whole concept is wrong, and people will 0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:50.359 send me an email, they'll still send me a message. 0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:52.600 We were able to find the person who attacked my wife. 0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:55.080 We're able to find this person. We were able to 0:27:55.080 --> 0:27:58.679 find these people who are in the country illegally, not 0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:08.080 at my expense, Not at my expense, port those who 0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:11.480 are in the country illegally. Look at the prosecutors that 0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:13.919 don't prosecute criminals and allow them on the street and 0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:18.840 vote them out of office or charge them. The people 0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:22.280 have to make aggressive demands, and I think they should 0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:25.119 make them loudly. I think there should be protests in 0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:27.080 the street. I think they should be protesting front of 0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:30.119 the city hall. I don't think these elected officials should 0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:34.120 get rest from the protests. Take down all the flock cameras. 0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:38.360 The elected officials are wrong, and someone's going to say 0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:42.480 to me, Tony, if you don't take an action, how 0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:47.480 will they know that they're wrong, Because in that conversation 0:28:48.040 --> 0:28:52.000 you're four steps away from being Luigi MANGIONI don't ask 0:28:52.040 --> 0:28:55.080 me to be a part of that. Don't ask me 0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:58.720 to be a part of that. But for these elected officials, 0:28:58.760 --> 0:29:03.000 including my own mayor, who I like, by the way, 0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:04.160 defending flock. 0:29:03.960 --> 0:29:07.160 Cameras, you're out of your head. I don't elect people 0:29:07.360 --> 0:29:11.600 who defend flock cameras. You're gonna have to go. This 0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:12.840 thing is not okay. 0:29:12.880 --> 0:29:18.160 I don't care if the police like it. 0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:21.239 It doesn't matter if they like it. It's inconsequential. 0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:26.760 And oddly enough, this is not the most maddening thing 0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:29.600 I came across yesterday that I wanted to bring to 0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:35.360 you today. The most maddening thing was this headline. It's 0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:40.640 an actual headline over at Newsmax about the Air Force 0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:43.880 Secretary of the former Air Force secretary who lost their 0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:52.160 security clearance lost the security clearance because they leaked information 0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:55.880 about Air Force one, which is a whole story that's 0:29:55.880 --> 0:30:00.080 still going on. The former Air Force Secretary of Frank 0:30:01.240 --> 0:30:04.560 now says he's going to sue the Trump administration after 0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:12.720 the Pentagon revoked his security clearance, saying that he learned 0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:17.360 about it and through a decision on social media, and 0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:19.880 he's saying, I couldn't think of anything I'd ever said 0:30:19.880 --> 0:30:22.040 that was classified, and I have tried very hard not 0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:25.560 to say anything classified and was quite sure I had not. 0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:30.200 Allow me. 0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:34.520 You are not owed to security clearance. I don't care 0:30:34.560 --> 0:30:36.440 how you served, I thank you for the service. You 0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:39.880 are not owned a security clearance. If the White House 0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:42.080 decides to pull it. If the Pentagon decides to pull it, 0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:43.080 that's the ballgame. 0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:47.640 That's it. What are you going to sue for? 0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:52.880 You demand access to security clearance when you are not 0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:54.000 in the position. 0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:02.760 When asked about the plans, when asked. 0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:04.560 About whether or not you are a target of criticism, 0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:06.040 he said, I'm gonna sue them. 0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:13.280 That's what's next for me. That's that's insane right. 0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:15.080 Now. 0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:19.240 I don't know much about Kendall's history. I don't I 0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:22.320 don't recall him during the Biden administration. Nothing comes to. 0:31:22.320 --> 0:31:23.000 Mind for me. 0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:25.560 Other people could be like, oh, I know his history 0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:30.880 and boom. Maybe true. But the overarching is, who said 0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:32.080 you're entitled to anything? 0:31:32.800 --> 0:31:33.000 Why? 0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:38.760 Why do they act like they're entitled. That's the connective 0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:41.920 between these two stories. I we're entitled to keep an 0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:45.560 eye on things for safety. You're entitled to classified information 0:31:45.880 --> 0:31:51.160 for your career. No, you're not not at all. Joe 0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:55.680 Biden shouldn't have access to classified information either, By the way, Sorry, 0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:57.760 I know we usually do that for former presidents, and 0:31:57.800 --> 0:31:59.920 sometimes you need them based on conversations they had had 0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:04.320 and you're still engaged in further investigations and negotiations et cetera. 0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:06.840 But Joe Biden can't be trusted. So the answers, no, 0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:10.880 he's not aware of where he is. So the answers no. 0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:15.080 Like you have a right to the classified info. It's 0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:19.280 a best of luck in the lawsuit. And any judge 0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:21.280 who says, do you have a right to classified information? 0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:28.240 Well, here I go, oh, I definitely deserve classified information. 0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:33.720 No one deserves classified information more than me, because that 0:32:34.280 --> 0:32:36.400 I mean, it's basically the same argument that this guy's 0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:41.000 making that the Warmer secretary is making. People are nutty. 0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:44.320 I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today. So Josh 0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:50.440 Kushner and Bob Iger are going to purchase the Los 0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:55.360 Angeles Lakers. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, My oh my, 0:32:55.680 --> 0:33:03.800 oh my, twelve billion dollars. 0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:06.440 That is. 0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:09.440 Something else. 0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:13.720 They had been working on the idea of getting a 0:33:13.760 --> 0:33:19.200 team in Las Vegas because now that gambling is so prolific, 0:33:19.560 --> 0:33:21.200 everyone's like, yeah, you can have a team in Vegas. 0:33:21.240 --> 0:33:21.640 It's fine. 0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:23.360 And so you've got the Raiders in Vegas, got the 0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:25.640 A's movement in Vegas. Might as well have some basketball 0:33:26.400 --> 0:33:29.600 as well. You've got UFC in Vegas. Vegas is going 0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:31.440 to make its play to look at Miami and say, 0:33:31.600 --> 0:33:39.600 watch how we work. Pretty impressive number, by the way, 0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:43.480 what this is here? And they do a lot of 0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:47.440 other stuff in other places in terms of ownership. But 0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:49.480 the big sports story right now is that there's something 0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:53.960 called the Patriot Games and it's about youth in sports 0:33:54.000 --> 0:33:58.320 and it was in Ohio and Pat McAfee was invited 0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:02.440 to it and President Trump was there, and so McAfee 0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:06.920 actually met President Trump on the tarmac while it's raining 0:34:07.560 --> 0:34:11.040 and McAfee is wearing a T shirt and a hat backwards, 0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:15.000 and there they are at the games together. They're sitting 0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:18.160 next to each other, and producer land And is like, 0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:20.840 you know, people are his whole feed is filled with 0:34:20.920 --> 0:34:23.320 people who are angry at Pat McAfee. 0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:25.520 What's wrong with everybody? Why would you be angry at 0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:26.320 Pat McAfee. 0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:28.920 He got invited to be the thing. The president got 0:34:28.960 --> 0:34:32.280 invited to be at the thing. It's about kids in sports, 0:34:32.280 --> 0:34:38.160 and so they're sitting there. What a weird, nutty thing 0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:43.480 to be upset with. He didn't do anything wrong. There 0:34:43.480 --> 0:34:45.600 are times you can argue that you don't like something 0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:48.160 he says. There are times you can argue that he's 0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:50.319 gotten out over his skis. I think he would tell 0:34:50.360 --> 0:34:52.040 you that. I don't know the man personally. I've never 0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:55.520 met him. We're both in India. I've never met the guy. 0:34:55.600 --> 0:34:59.240 It's quite all right, by the way, but he's sitting 0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:03.120 next to the president and I'm supposed to be How 0:35:03.239 --> 0:35:07.640 dare you these people really think that Pat MacFee should 0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:09.560 have just turned around and punched the president in the face. 0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:16.160 That's their argument. It is a weird argument to be 0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:19.400 that filled with hate. If I'm invited to an event 0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:24.920 for a name that for cigars, and Barack Obama is 0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:26.239 there and they seat me next to them. 0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:28.080 Sitting next to Barack Obama. 0:35:28.880 --> 0:35:33.480 I don't think we're gonna talk about anything politics, but 0:35:33.600 --> 0:35:34.800 we're gonna talk cigars. 0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:38.600 I would talk cigars with Barack Obama right now. 0:35:40.160 --> 0:35:45.239 I don't think he's much of a cigar guy. But 0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:48.440 be angry at Pat mcabee is just it's just silly. 0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:51.320 And you're right, Chatroom, you are right. The Trump's arrangement 0:35:51.360 --> 0:35:57.040 syndrome is out of control. It has become religion, well cults. 0:35:57.080 --> 0:35:57.360 Really. 0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:07.600 This is Tony Katz Today live from Vaal Hartbiner and 0:36:07.680 --> 0:36:16.000 the crossroads of America.

Hold on a second, I'm 0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:11.319 going to back that up a little bit. Did he 0:37:11.520 --> 0:37:13.560 say a thousand. 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:17.400 Marriage fraud scheme involving more than one thousand sham marriages 0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:21.960 between Chinese nationals and United States citizens and then the 0:37:22.000 --> 0:37:27.040 submission of fraudulent applications for green cards. This is one 0:37:27.040 --> 0:37:31.240 of the largest marriage frauds prosecutions in the United States history. 0:37:31.360 --> 0:37:35.400 This scheme was not a quick fly by night operation, 0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:39.680 but rather a years long, multimillion dollar cottage industry to 0:37:39.760 --> 0:37:42.520 criminally assist people who would not or legally could not 0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:46.840 otherwise become citizens of the United States. 0:37:47.760 --> 0:37:50.960 Right now, I'm willing to bet you any amount of 0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:52.680 money that you and I are actually having the same 0:37:52.719 --> 0:37:57.520 conversation in our heads, and that conversation is well. Of 0:37:57.640 --> 0:38:00.800 course people were doing this. We knew people were. Of course, 0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:03.160 people get married to get somebody a Green card. We 0:38:03.239 --> 0:38:06.040 one thousand percent knew this was happening. You have had 0:38:06.080 --> 0:38:09.600 this conversation over Thanksgiving dinner, you had it with your uncle, 0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:11.600 You've had it at work, you've had it with friends 0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:16.160 over beer. Absolutely, you knew this was happening. Yet somehow 0:38:16.600 --> 0:38:20.160 when you hear it, you still say, what the hell? 0:38:21.520 --> 0:38:25.759 Because we think of it as a one off. We 0:38:25.800 --> 0:38:27.960 think of it as somebody doing something illicted over there. 0:38:28.000 --> 0:38:30.920 We think of it as Ilhanomh and her brother, which 0:38:31.360 --> 0:38:34.799 I believe happened organized. 0:38:36.040 --> 0:38:38.920 That's the part that really blows us away. 0:38:39.880 --> 0:38:42.839 The men and women who facilitated this scheme were all 0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:47.360 naturalized citizens originally from China, and one Green card holder. 0:38:48.080 --> 0:38:51.880 Under President Trump's leadership, the Department of Justice is working 0:38:51.880 --> 0:38:55.920 alongside our partners at DHS to secure the border and 0:38:55.960 --> 0:38:57.640 protect American communities. 0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:02.200 Let's go back over that, because that's the line. 0:39:03.440 --> 0:39:06.200 Let's make sure everybody heard it exactly the way the 0:39:06.200 --> 0:39:07.840 Attorney General Todd Blanche said it. 0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:08.600 United States. 0:39:09.520 --> 0:39:12.480 The men and women who facilitated this scheme were all 0:39:13.160 --> 0:39:17.000 naturalized citizens originally from China, and one Green card holder. 0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:21.520 Under President Trump's leadership, the Department of Justice is working 0:39:21.520 --> 0:39:25.520 alongside our partners at DHS to secure the border and 0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:27.279 protect American communities. 0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:31.600 The only answer I'm going to accept from Todd Blanche 0:39:31.840 --> 0:39:35.520 is to denaturalize those people and deport those people. And 0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:41.360 then I want to find China twenty billion dollars do 0:39:41.520 --> 0:39:43.759 me a favorite producer land. Will you look up what 0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:49.239 our debt is to China right now? Yeah, look, look 0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:54.120 look that up. China must pay the price for doing this. 0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:59.880 Tell me more about how a birthright citizenship isn't an issue. 0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:02.799 Tell me more that this is. Oh, you're just you're 0:40:02.880 --> 0:40:08.080 just being a racist towards Chinese nationals, Kitten. 0:40:09.000 --> 0:40:12.040 When I see Chinese nationals grown. 0:40:11.800 --> 0:40:14.319 Men, single men, able bodied men trying to get into 0:40:14.360 --> 0:40:17.040 the United States, if you admit them into the United States, 0:40:17.200 --> 0:40:21.440 you are for cocta crazy.

That's what we 0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:40.040 owe China. Did I say twenty billion? I'm sorry, I'm 0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:44.439 meant two hundred billion, thirty percent off the top, that's 0:40:44.480 --> 0:40:48.120 what it costs you. It's paid. No, no, no, no, don't 0:40:48.120 --> 0:40:49.680 care if you like it or you don't like it. It 0:40:49.640 --> 0:40:51.799 means absolutely nothing China. You want to fight about it, 0:40:51.840 --> 0:40:58.919 I say, we fight about it. Of course, you don't 0:40:58.960 --> 0:41:03.160 think that this constitute it's invasion, honey, pooky boo boo 0:41:03.400 --> 0:41:08.720 kitten shmoo. Chinese nationals cannot be allowed to be US citizens. 0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:09.120 Nope. 0:41:11.760 --> 0:41:14.120 Now you say to me, Tony, that's a You might 0:41:14.120 --> 0:41:17.920 be going a little bit overboard right there. We have 0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:22.600 to be able to prove hardships, real hardships, because there 0:41:22.600 --> 0:41:28.640 are plenty of Hong Kongers who got absolutely abused, abused. 0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:29.120 By the Chinese government. 0:41:29.400 --> 0:41:31.920 Remember when they were fighting for their freedom and we 0:41:32.080 --> 0:41:34.160 just let China put their boot on. 0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:36.640 Their neck, and everybody in the NBA said. 0:41:36.440 --> 0:41:40.360 Hey, when's our next game in China? Love that money, right, Lebron. 0:41:44.160 --> 0:41:46.520 Of course it's an invasion. Of course it's an attack. 0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:49.080 Of course it's a threat, and we should deal with 0:41:49.120 --> 0:41:52.960 it accordingly. Back to the Attorney General Todd Blanche, with 0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:57.799 this announcement an arrest of a ring to coordinate and 0:41:57.840 --> 0:42:04.040 facilitate sham marriages, people could become citizens, involving naturalized citizens 0:42:04.080 --> 0:42:08.920 from China, over one thousand sham marriages. And I'd like 0:42:08.960 --> 0:42:12.000 to know of those one thousand sham marriages, plus how 0:42:12.000 --> 0:42:16.239 many of them applied for some kind of welfare or 0:42:16.320 --> 0:42:19.240 other benefit from the United States. 0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:24.200 Something that was ignored during the last administration. Not only 0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:28.000 are we protecting our physical borders from unlawful crossings, but 0:42:28.040 --> 0:42:31.319 we are also preventing immigration fraud schemes that are just 0:42:31.400 --> 0:42:35.000 another way to skirt the immigration laws of the United States. 0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:40.640 As alleged, some of the charge defendants acted as facilitators 0:42:41.160 --> 0:42:45.720 who orchestrated the marriage fraud scheme, pairing foreign nationals seeking 0:42:45.719 --> 0:42:51.480 immigration status with United States citizens willing to participate and 0:42:51.560 --> 0:42:58.759 engage in a sham marriage. These facilitators employed attorneys tax 0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:03.799 preparers and marriage officiants. Some of the other charge defendants 0:43:03.920 --> 0:43:08.200 acted as recruiters by finding and recruiting United States citizens 0:43:08.239 --> 0:43:12.600 to participate in the scheme, and other defendants acted as officiants, 0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:17.880 officiating dozens of these alleged fake marriages. 0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:22.279 Now, the way that this scheme allegedly. 0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:26.040 Worked is the facilitators used social media and other forms 0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:30.600 of advertising to market fraudulent immigration services to foreign nationals, 0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:35.000 primarily from China, and Chinese nationals would pay these facilitators 0:43:35.000 --> 0:43:38.520 as much as one hundred thousand dollars for assistance in 0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:42.000 obtaining a marriage, which then allowed them to apply for 0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:46.080 a green card. The facilitators also paid willing US citizens 0:43:46.080 --> 0:43:49.239 as much as thirty thousand dollars to engage in the 0:43:49.280 --> 0:43:53.640 sham marriage with the foreign national. Now, often after these 0:43:54.360 --> 0:43:59.440 phony ceremonies, defendants would stage images of families at restaurants 0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:03.319 to create the appearance of a legitimate wedding, and some 0:44:03.360 --> 0:44:07.880 of the defendants also facilitated sham marriages overseas in China. 0:44:08.960 --> 0:44:12.839 After the marriages took place, the actual ceremony that then 0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:16.840 married couples would visit a local office affiliated with the 0:44:16.880 --> 0:44:21.160 scheme sign forms for submission to the US Citizen and 0:44:21.200 --> 0:44:26.240 Immigration Services, learn about the USCIS interview process to apply 0:44:26.320 --> 0:44:31.680 for a green card, and then execute prenuptial agreements, which, 0:44:32.600 --> 0:44:36.800 not surprisingly given the allegation these were sham marriages, waived 0:44:36.800 --> 0:44:39.440 their rights to share in the others a state upon death, 0:44:40.120 --> 0:44:42.360 child support and other. 0:44:42.200 --> 0:44:43.800 Claims and marital property. 0:44:44.840 --> 0:44:49.560 At this moment, I people ask me why I drink bourbon. 0:44:52.800 --> 0:44:59.759 This is ugly. This is ugly. I this I was 0:44:59.920 --> 0:45:00.480 a expect him. 0:45:00.480 --> 0:45:04.360 He wasn't actually on the system today to give any presser. 0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:07.799 So this was a bit of a surprise. Over one 0:45:07.880 --> 0:45:13.280 thousand sham marriages busted. The purpose to allow Chinese nationals 0:45:13.320 --> 0:45:19.160 to become citizens. Money paid over in cases one hundred 0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:26.160 thousand dollars, and Americans who are implicated may have gotten 0:45:26.160 --> 0:45:28.520 paid thirty thousand dollars. All those people have to go 0:45:28.600 --> 0:45:32.760 to jail who are Americans, and all those naturalized citizens 0:45:32.760 --> 0:45:39.120 have to be denaturalized and deported today in any lower 0:45:39.200 --> 0:45:45.600 court that wants to get involved, those activist judges need 0:45:45.640 --> 0:45:47.120 to be thrown off the bench. 0:45:49.000 --> 0:45:50.360 Innocent until proven guilty. 0:45:50.480 --> 0:45:58.839 Sure, absolutely, when they're proven guilty, goodbye. And with all 0:45:58.880 --> 0:46:03.920 of this, Stephanie White, Coach of the Indiana Fever. Her 0:46:04.040 --> 0:46:08.239 presser is even crazier. I've got that story coming up. 0:46:08.360 --> 0:46:08.799 Keep it here. 0:46:09.040 --> 0:46:10.240 This is Tony Katz today. 0:46:10.360 --> 0:46:14.279 Stephanie White is the coach of the Indiana Fever and 0:46:14.360 --> 0:46:18.360 she made a statement before the game that the Fever 0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:22.920 played against the New York Liberty. That did not help her, 0:46:23.360 --> 0:46:26.160 did not help the Indiana Fever, did not help the WNBA. 0:46:27.040 --> 0:46:31.520 If anything, it made her look weak, It made the 0:46:31.600 --> 0:46:35.160 team look weak, and it made the WNBA look like 0:46:35.200 --> 0:46:35.760 they don't. 0:46:35.600 --> 0:46:37.319 Quite understand what the issue is. 0:46:37.440 --> 0:46:40.640 Tony Katz, Tony Katz today and for the Jamel Hills 0:46:40.680 --> 0:46:44.160 and everybody else who wants to say that we don't 0:46:44.200 --> 0:46:46.200 have the right to talk about this and we're just 0:46:46.239 --> 0:46:53.360 obsessing over this because of race. The WNBA has a 0:46:53.480 --> 0:46:59.160 choice to make. The WNBA can decide that they are 0:46:59.239 --> 0:47:02.799 in the business of being a league, or the WNBA 0:47:03.000 --> 0:47:05.279 can decide that they are in the business of being 0:47:05.320 --> 0:47:11.520 a welfare recipient. For years, the WNBA was a welfare recipient. 0:47:12.320 --> 0:47:17.400 The NBA wanted to create a league for women. The 0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:20.720 league never made any money, the league never got any traction, 0:47:22.160 --> 0:47:27.719 and yet it's still got funded. Now living in Indiana 0:47:28.120 --> 0:47:31.840 might be different our team than other teams because this 0:47:31.960 --> 0:47:33.360 is a basketball state. 0:47:34.120 --> 0:47:34.319 Right. 0:47:35.719 --> 0:47:39.719 The expression here is in forty nine other states, it's 0:47:39.920 --> 0:47:44.480 just basketball, but this is Indiana. They take it at 0:47:44.480 --> 0:47:46.359 a level I cannot describe to you. 0:47:46.920 --> 0:47:49.759 It's unbelievable. Right. 0:47:49.800 --> 0:47:54.000 It's in the same way this state views the month 0:47:54.000 --> 0:47:56.520 of May because that's when the Indianapols five hundred happens. Now, 0:47:56.520 --> 0:47:59.839 every state has something that connects for the people who 0:47:59.880 --> 0:48:05.840 live there. It is a thing for them. Basketball for sure, 0:48:06.880 --> 0:48:10.920 for sure. And so we did pay attention to the 0:48:10.960 --> 0:48:14.560 Indiana fever and we had great Tamika Catchings was a 0:48:14.600 --> 0:48:17.839 great ambassador for the league and was a star of 0:48:17.880 --> 0:48:18.400 her time. 0:48:20.400 --> 0:48:21.839 And then Caitlyn Clark came to town. 0:48:21.920 --> 0:48:23.640 Well the rest is history, as you know, and more 0:48:23.680 --> 0:48:26.719 people paid attention, and that upsets some people because this 0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:29.239 girl was getting attention and these weren't getting attention. And 0:48:29.280 --> 0:48:32.640 this was big a tree, and that's when the crazy 0:48:32.640 --> 0:48:35.320 fouls would start. Some things I think Caitlyn Clark complained 0:48:35.320 --> 0:48:37.600 about that weren't worth complaining about, and some things she 0:48:37.719 --> 0:48:42.560 was absolutely right and everybody saw it. But with Caitlyn 0:48:42.640 --> 0:48:46.959 Clark came the opportunity to become a league that could 0:48:47.000 --> 0:48:47.880 be self sufficient. 0:48:48.840 --> 0:48:50.280 They went from commercial. 0:48:49.800 --> 0:48:54.759 Flights to charter flights, private, better hotels, They started to 0:48:54.760 --> 0:49:01.279 play in real arenas, they moved games, and people were like, well, 0:49:01.280 --> 0:49:02.840 if you're gonna put on a show, we want to 0:49:02.840 --> 0:49:03.200 see it. 0:49:03.600 --> 0:49:05.560 If it's gonna be entertaining, we want to see it. 0:49:05.800 --> 0:49:07.000 My daughters now want. 0:49:06.800 --> 0:49:10.960 To go absolutely, I'm taking them fantastic. And the w 0:49:11.239 --> 0:49:16.520 NBA has on every level shown that they were not 0:49:16.680 --> 0:49:19.560 up to the moment because it's not that they could 0:49:19.680 --> 0:49:23.560 control the criticism criticisms from without. It has nothing to 0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:26.400 do with the criticisms from without. They could not handle 0:49:26.440 --> 0:49:29.960 the criticisms from within the players, the coaches and the media. 0:49:30.920 --> 0:49:34.560 That clearly didn't want this for their little league. And 0:49:34.600 --> 0:49:35.279 so there's been a. 0:49:35.200 --> 0:49:38.240 Lot of talk and with the Sophie Cunningham conversations about 0:49:38.239 --> 0:49:43.239 how girls sports would be for girls, they don't like 0:49:43.320 --> 0:49:47.560 that either. And now going after Sophie Cunningham and the clothesline. 0:49:48.520 --> 0:49:51.440 Tackle if you will from. 0:49:51.360 --> 0:49:55.200 Uh De Johnny uh dejohn De Janna is a Dijana 0:49:56.480 --> 0:50:02.160 jen a djon a thank you Dja Carrington and people 0:50:02.200 --> 0:50:03.360 have been talking about this more. 0:50:04.840 --> 0:50:05.000 Well. 0:50:05.040 --> 0:50:08.560 This became a thing because it was a clothesline. By 0:50:08.600 --> 0:50:11.960 the way, Sophie Cunningham has done this before. She's tackled 0:50:11.960 --> 0:50:15.279 people on court before she got thrown out of the game. 0:50:15.920 --> 0:50:18.360 Carrington got thrown out of the game, and then she immediately. 0:50:18.040 --> 0:50:19.080 Put White privilege. 0:50:19.280 --> 0:50:25.239 Good lord, she's trying to backtrack that a lot of criticism. 0:50:25.400 --> 0:50:29.200 That brings us to the coach of the Indiana Fever, 0:50:29.280 --> 0:50:33.160 Stephanie White, who, when first asked about the foul against 0:50:33.160 --> 0:50:36.000 her player Sophie Cunningham, was like, listen, these girls are 0:50:36.000 --> 0:50:39.480 going to play hard. And now she comes to have 0:50:39.520 --> 0:50:44.279 a presser where she is going after the detractors and 0:50:44.360 --> 0:50:46.280 claiming she never saw the play. 0:50:46.680 --> 0:50:49.480 You know, this isn't necessarily for those people that are 0:50:49.480 --> 0:50:53.799 in this room. This is more for an online community 0:50:54.040 --> 0:51:00.360 that's trying to create narratives that simply don't exist, create 0:51:00.360 --> 0:51:03.080 a fabrication or disortion of who I am. 0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:05.600 What I'm about our. 0:51:05.480 --> 0:51:09.000 Players, success, our players, health and wellness, our players safety 0:51:09.040 --> 0:51:10.480 is always a top priority for me. 0:51:10.560 --> 0:51:12.200 One of the things I pride myself on is my 0:51:12.280 --> 0:51:13.400 relationships with players. 0:51:14.600 --> 0:51:17.319 For those who have anything to say about the play 0:51:17.360 --> 0:51:19.000 in the last game, I didn't see the play in 0:51:19.000 --> 0:51:21.520 real time I went straight to a press conference. I 0:51:21.560 --> 0:51:25.080 thought the play got called right, thankfully Sophie's Okay. Was 0:51:25.080 --> 0:51:25.719 it egregious? 0:51:25.920 --> 0:51:26.560 Absolutely? 0:51:27.200 --> 0:51:29.520 When you have a chance to watch that over and 0:51:29.560 --> 0:51:32.880 over and over on replay, you can see that I 0:51:32.920 --> 0:51:34.040 didn't have that in real time. 0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:39.320 I take personally. 0:51:38.960 --> 0:51:43.319 Any suggestions that I don't one hundred always have my 0:51:43.360 --> 0:51:43.920 players bad. 0:51:44.400 --> 0:51:46.400 I ride with them ten toes down all the time, 0:51:46.800 --> 0:51:47.680 all of the time. 0:51:48.560 --> 0:51:51.919 They know that it's a shame that we can't have 0:51:52.040 --> 0:51:55.160 an opportunity to talk about what great basketball they're playing 0:51:56.600 --> 0:51:58.160 because they are being playing. 0:52:02.040 --> 0:52:05.759 The reality is with me, I will always lead with love, 0:52:07.200 --> 0:52:10.799 I will always lead with grace, I will always lead 0:52:10.880 --> 0:52:14.640 with humility, and I will always lead with integrity. 0:52:15.120 --> 0:52:18.680 Doesn't mean I'll always get it right. I'm also human. 0:52:20.160 --> 0:52:23.960 The hate, the fear mongering, the divisiveness, the stuff that's 0:52:23.960 --> 0:52:26.759 trying to hijack our league will not win. 0:52:29.760 --> 0:52:30.319 It won't win. 0:52:32.600 --> 0:52:37.400 We are united, we are connected, We will not be divided. 0:52:39.320 --> 0:52:39.839 Every day. 0:52:39.880 --> 0:52:46.480 These women put their ass on the line every day. 0:52:47.040 --> 0:52:49.239 When they go low, we go high. Love go win. 0:52:50.239 --> 0:52:54.839 Grace will win, Humility will win, and kindness will win. 0:52:56.200 --> 0:52:59.040 I stand by them. I will always stand by them. 0:52:59.239 --> 0:52:59.879 Everybody else. 0:53:03.840 --> 0:53:13.399 Oh, okay, I'm going to start where I start. That 0:53:13.520 --> 0:53:19.000 was poorly done, That was poorly advised. She embarrassed herself, 0:53:19.640 --> 0:53:25.960 She embarrassed a fever organization. She embarrassed the WNBA. If 0:53:26.000 --> 0:53:29.800 you allow your emotions to control you, there is nothing 0:53:29.800 --> 0:53:34.640 else that can happen. Now, it's possible that men see 0:53:34.640 --> 0:53:37.680 this differently than women looking at my chat room. 0:53:37.840 --> 0:53:40.080 No, we all see it the same way. 0:53:40.719 --> 0:53:42.359 But I want to break down a couple of things 0:53:42.360 --> 0:53:46.600 she said, just to show how disconnected it is from reality. 0:53:47.760 --> 0:53:50.959 The online community has an issue. You mean the fan 0:53:51.719 --> 0:53:53.359 You mean the people who want to show up and 0:53:53.400 --> 0:53:56.640 want to pay you. They want to give you their money. 0:53:57.000 --> 0:54:01.160 And you're making it more and more difficult because you 0:54:01.200 --> 0:54:04.880 won't admit that they targeted Caitlin Clark, and you won't 0:54:04.920 --> 0:54:09.000 admit that there's a real racism within the WNBA. 0:54:08.840 --> 0:54:10.800 And you won't say the W stands for women. 0:54:12.520 --> 0:54:15.080 If you did not see the foul in real time, 0:54:15.239 --> 0:54:17.120 Coach White, why did you comment on it? 0:54:18.600 --> 0:54:21.200 I think that's a very legitimate criticism. 0:54:22.160 --> 0:54:25.000 Why'd you comment on it? Why not say I didn't 0:54:25.040 --> 0:54:26.920 see it. I need to go back and watch it. 0:54:27.640 --> 0:54:33.600 You defended Carrington. You defended DJNA. Shouldn't have. 0:54:34.440 --> 0:54:35.760 You should have admitted to that. 0:54:38.520 --> 0:54:41.759 You're going to lead with love, grace, humility, and integrity 0:54:41.840 --> 0:54:47.880 and hate.

So 0:55:52.320 --> 0:55:55.120 these are stories that should be front page news, but 0:55:55.160 --> 0:56:00.520 because of everything on the front page doesn't make the pages. 0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:04.400 Of course, we still have a war going with Iran. 0:56:06.440 --> 0:56:12.000 I'll get to updates coming up in a little bit. 0:56:12.480 --> 0:56:14.560 And we just heard from. 0:56:14.560 --> 0:56:21.360 The Attorney General, that is Todd Blanche talking about charges 0:56:21.600 --> 0:56:25.120 that have come in a Chinese national marriage fraud screen. 0:56:25.920 --> 0:56:29.240 I'm gonna try to say this again, Chinese national marriage 0:56:29.280 --> 0:56:30.040 fraud scheme. 0:56:31.719 --> 0:56:32.400 That ain't easy. 0:56:32.800 --> 0:56:36.560 Over a thousand plus sham marriages that the Department of 0:56:36.640 --> 0:56:39.960 Justice has identified where people spent one hundred thousand dollars 0:56:40.160 --> 0:56:43.640 to be able to get a green card here in 0:56:43.680 --> 0:56:48.680 the United States, involving mainly a Chinese nationals. 0:56:49.040 --> 0:56:51.120 This is massive. 0:56:53.680 --> 0:56:57.640 This has to change who we allow into the country. 0:56:58.360 --> 0:57:00.040 We have to start saying no. 0:57:00.719 --> 0:57:04.360 This plays in the conversation of what Senator Jim Banks 0:57:04.360 --> 0:57:07.720 discusses as invasion, as he wants to change the laws 0:57:07.760 --> 0:57:09.800 and better define what. 0:57:09.640 --> 0:57:11.320 It is to be an invader. 0:57:12.040 --> 0:57:15.640 Therefore to work within the Supreme Court decision on birthright citizenship. 0:57:15.880 --> 0:57:18.400 Everybody, when I talk about this, everyone says, Tony. 0:57:18.200 --> 0:57:19.920 The Supreme Court already rules if you're born in the 0:57:19.960 --> 0:57:21.240 United States or a United States citizen. 0:57:21.320 --> 0:57:22.320 Why don't you understand this? 0:57:23.800 --> 0:57:28.360 I understand what it is that Justice Kavanaugh said, the 0:57:28.360 --> 0:57:32.400 Fourteenth Amendment born in the United States and subjects of 0:57:32.440 --> 0:57:36.640 the jurisdiction thereof the Court, I think improperly ruled. 0:57:38.840 --> 0:57:44.440 Improperly ruled that to be born here is enough. 0:57:45.960 --> 0:57:50.640 But there was no conversation about whether or not Congress can, 0:57:50.880 --> 0:57:56.440 through legislation make the determination of who is an invader, 0:57:56.920 --> 0:58:00.440 because the Court was did not make any chans to 0:58:00.440 --> 0:58:03.000 what we already know to be factual that if someone 0:58:03.080 --> 0:58:05.440 is considered a threat invader, they cannot be a citizen. 0:58:05.480 --> 0:58:09.320 They do not fall into that category. Aren't regarding being 0:58:09.320 --> 0:58:13.720 born in the United States? You can change this. People 0:58:13.760 --> 0:58:16.880 don't like hearing the word invader. A thousand plus sham marriages. 0:58:17.240 --> 0:58:20.720 Is there anything else we have to discuss? Could we 0:58:20.800 --> 0:58:24.000 all just be rational for five minutes? It's all I ask. 0:58:24.480 --> 0:58:29.680 It's a simple request. Normal, normal, normal for five minutes. 0:58:30.880 --> 0:58:34.160 If we had normal in the United States for five minutes, 0:58:34.320 --> 0:58:36.800 people would actually not know what to do with themselves. 0:58:37.240 --> 0:58:39.840 They'd completely lose their minds. 0:58:41.000 --> 0:58:43.800 So while this is going on, and that all just 0:58:43.840 --> 0:58:47.520 got released today, Todd blanche I wasn't expecting the presser. 0:58:47.560 --> 0:58:50.960 All of a sudden, he comes to the microphone and man, 0:58:52.160 --> 0:58:56.280 this for cable news outside of MS. Now, this is 0:58:56.320 --> 0:58:58.560 going to be the top story tonight. Oh, this is 0:58:58.560 --> 0:59:02.080 going to be This is a big one. But there 0:59:02.160 --> 0:59:07.040 are other stories, and I absolutely want to get to 0:59:07.080 --> 0:59:11.120 them because they are very, very big stories, but they 0:59:11.240 --> 0:59:13.600 just aren't going to make the front page. And we 0:59:13.680 --> 0:59:19.160 start with the Michigan The University of Michigan. Did I 0:59:19.200 --> 0:59:22.600 mention I am not a fan of blue? It's the 0:59:22.680 --> 0:59:24.680 radicalness of the politics. They can't be denied. 0:59:24.800 --> 0:59:28.320 Not a fan in any way, shape or form. 0:59:29.840 --> 0:59:32.560 The University of Michigan is going to eliminate traditional letter 0:59:32.600 --> 0:59:35.040 grades for first semester freshmen beginning in the fall of 0:59:35.080 --> 0:59:40.400 twenty twenty seven. It's going to address what is described 0:59:40.480 --> 0:59:45.040 as a growing mental health crisis among college students. So 0:59:45.160 --> 0:59:48.520 what's going to happen is that students in the university's 0:59:48.560 --> 0:59:52.280 College of Literature, Science and the Arts will get pass or. 0:59:52.200 --> 0:59:54.280 No credit on transcripts. 0:59:58.640 --> 1:00:05.200 That college enroll about four thousand students every year. It 1:00:05.240 --> 1:00:08.440 will help the freshmen quote acclimate to the demands of 1:00:08.480 --> 1:00:13.760 college and allow intrinsic motivations to guide personally meaningful academic journeys. 1:00:15.520 --> 1:00:21.120 I'm not quite sure what that means, but after reading it, 1:00:21.320 --> 1:00:28.600 I need a shower acclimate to the demands of college 1:00:28.640 --> 1:00:40.000 and allow intrinsic motivations to guide personally meaningful academic journeys. Now, 1:00:40.120 --> 1:00:43.520 the grades will not be on transcripts, they will not 1:00:43.560 --> 1:00:48.000 be utilized in calculating grade point averages, but professors will 1:00:48.040 --> 1:00:50.600 still give the grades and those will be used to 1:00:50.600 --> 1:00:54.080 determine scholarship eligibility other academic awards. 1:00:56.160 --> 1:00:58.040 So the issue here, as we. 1:00:58.080 --> 1:01:02.919 Understand it, is that kids get to college, they are 1:01:02.960 --> 1:01:07.040 not prepared for the riggers, and they collapse because it's 1:01:07.040 --> 1:01:09.120 the first time in their life they've ever been told no, 1:01:12.200 --> 1:01:15.720 we have a problem, and the problem has to be fixed. 1:01:16.840 --> 1:01:19.360 And we if we want to argue. 1:01:20.720 --> 1:01:26.680 That the problem is lower education, well that's absolutely correct. 1:01:28.000 --> 1:01:28.400 You see. 1:01:28.440 --> 1:01:31.320 I see the comments, Mike, I see your comment translation 1:01:31.440 --> 1:01:34.520 the kids are weak. I am not actually saying no. 1:01:34.880 --> 1:01:37.680 I'll agree with you there, but I like to take 1:01:38.040 --> 1:01:42.919 a different approach, in a different tact, which is the 1:01:43.080 --> 1:01:47.400 education system has failed to do its job, and that's 1:01:47.400 --> 1:01:50.040 why we need to break the Teachers' Union into and 1:01:50.240 --> 1:01:54.040 end public education as we know it. It does not 1:01:54.880 --> 1:02:01.200 create good students, It does not prepare students for the future. 1:02:01.800 --> 1:02:04.600 Now we can argue as well that this is also 1:02:04.720 --> 1:02:08.840 a cultural problem where parents have failed to provide for 1:02:08.920 --> 1:02:09.600 their children. 1:02:10.720 --> 1:02:12.320 Part of what that issue. 1:02:12.000 --> 1:02:15.760 Is is that we have parents, in large measure, in 1:02:15.920 --> 1:02:19.640 large swaths, who are trying to be friends with their children. 1:02:20.880 --> 1:02:23.920 Your child is not your friends. You love your child, 1:02:24.880 --> 1:02:28.360 not your friends. You are mom or you are dad. 1:02:28.640 --> 1:02:30.360 You are not the friend, and you are never going 1:02:30.400 --> 1:02:33.000 to be their friend. You can have a great relationship 1:02:33.000 --> 1:02:35.760 with your kid, you can hang with your kid. As 1:02:35.840 --> 1:02:38.120 you get older, you can have a different relationship with 1:02:38.200 --> 1:02:42.160 your kid, but in those formative years, in those growth years, 1:02:42.240 --> 1:02:47.160 you're not their friend. The role is that of parent. 1:02:48.080 --> 1:02:51.760 It's a different role, and it is thankless at times, 1:02:52.040 --> 1:02:58.160 and it is tough often it's absolutely rewarding. I have 1:02:58.240 --> 1:03:00.400 explained to my children more than once that I am 1:03:00.440 --> 1:03:02.160 not your friend. I am your father, and there is 1:03:02.200 --> 1:03:04.280 a difference. And I take it seriously and I love 1:03:04.360 --> 1:03:04.720 doing it. 1:03:05.200 --> 1:03:07.880 Love doing it. I didn't know I was gonna love 1:03:07.960 --> 1:03:08.520 doing it. 1:03:09.080 --> 1:03:12.480 But I do because I take the responsibility seriously. It's 1:03:12.480 --> 1:03:17.440 a pleasure to have this opportunity. Your friend will tell 1:03:17.480 --> 1:03:21.040 you everything will be okay. I'm your father. Sometimes this 1:03:21.120 --> 1:03:23.160 crap won't be okay, and you're gonna have to figure 1:03:23.200 --> 1:03:26.280 out how to handle that. You're gonna have to get 1:03:26.280 --> 1:03:30.880 your emotions in check and deal with it. You have 1:03:30.960 --> 1:03:36.720 to be stronger than the moment. That's part of the deal. 1:03:38.880 --> 1:03:43.840 That is the deal. The schools are failing the kids. 1:03:43.920 --> 1:03:47.360 The parents are failing the kids because we don't push 1:03:47.480 --> 1:03:51.680 for the strength. Which is why when Pete Hegsat the 1:03:51.720 --> 1:03:57.160 Secretary of Defense talks about lethality, talks about physical fitness, 1:03:58.160 --> 1:04:01.080 talks about the strength of mine one needs to be 1:04:01.120 --> 1:04:03.919 in the military, people are flocking to it because they 1:04:04.000 --> 1:04:10.120 want it. The standard is good, the standard is valuable, 1:04:10.120 --> 1:04:15.479 the standard is necessary, The standard is everything. We don't 1:04:15.480 --> 1:04:17.960 hold the kids to the standards that they are craving. 1:04:18.280 --> 1:04:21.520 We don't hold them to responsibility that they are craving. 1:04:21.760 --> 1:04:23.960 They want to prove that they are worthy because they 1:04:23.960 --> 1:04:26.520 are alive, because that is the human condition, and we 1:04:26.560 --> 1:04:31.920 don't give them the opportunity. It is parents and teachers 1:04:32.000 --> 1:04:35.720 and these unions and culture ripping it from them. And 1:04:35.760 --> 1:04:39.440 then they look for something, and then the state steps 1:04:39.480 --> 1:04:42.720 in and says, we've got this. You should be part 1:04:43.000 --> 1:04:46.280 of the revolution because look at all this system that 1:04:46.360 --> 1:04:52.400 fails you. You don't think that all connects, all connects. 1:04:52.800 --> 1:04:56.840 It's all right there, it's all played out right in 1:04:56.960 --> 1:04:57.560 front of you. 1:04:59.200 --> 1:05:00.920 All you have to do be willing to. 1:05:00.880 --> 1:05:03.880 Put those pieces together, and it will set a course. 1:05:05.120 --> 1:05:06.680 It will show you what we have done wrong, and 1:05:06.720 --> 1:05:08.520 it will show you a way to do it better. 1:05:11.040 --> 1:05:13.640 This we could talk about the kids being weak, and 1:05:13.680 --> 1:05:16.000 the kids being this, that and the other. It is 1:05:16.040 --> 1:05:19.560 the parents, It is the teachers, It is the teachers' unions. 1:05:19.680 --> 1:05:20.520 It is the culture. 1:05:20.800 --> 1:05:24.280 It is what we have allowed to happen, what we 1:05:24.400 --> 1:05:29.080 have put upon, forced upon, abused our kids. 1:05:28.840 --> 1:05:31.120 With, and it's what we have to undo. 1:05:32.800 --> 1:05:35.960 And when parents started undoing that, trying to undo that, 1:05:36.200 --> 1:05:39.520 seeing the insanity of COVID, seeing what was actually being taught, 1:05:40.000 --> 1:05:43.320 that Merrick Garland and that Attorney General under Joe Biden, 1:05:43.360 --> 1:05:47.240 who actually maybe never was president, was a cabal, designated 1:05:47.240 --> 1:05:53.200 those parents as what domestic terrorists to keep them, to 1:05:53.400 --> 1:05:56.360 try and stifle them and keep them from being the 1:05:56.400 --> 1:05:58.200 people who could make the changes. 1:06:00.080 --> 1:06:01.960 You have to break the teachers union too. You have 1:06:02.080 --> 1:06:05.120 to break these people in half. 1:06:07.920 --> 1:06:12.160 One of the other stories, headline stories, is that Samuel 1:06:12.160 --> 1:06:18.480 Alito has stated that he is sticking around. President Trump 1:06:18.560 --> 1:06:22.560 thrilled that Alito has said he's going to remain for 1:06:22.600 --> 1:06:26.840 another term. He's not going to retire. Now, I wonder 1:06:26.880 --> 1:06:32.080 if that means that Justice Alito sees that the opportunity 1:06:32.080 --> 1:06:35.920 for the Republicans to be victorious in the midterms is real, 1:06:38.560 --> 1:06:44.240 because if the Senate is controlled by Democrats, President Trump's 1:06:44.240 --> 1:06:48.720 gonna have a hard time replacing anybody on the Court 1:06:49.560 --> 1:06:52.760 if Todd Blanche cannot get a single Democrat to vote 1:06:52.760 --> 1:06:59.680 for him, when Todd Blanche is of no issue, zero issue, if. 1:06:59.560 --> 1:07:03.480 You can vote for Merrick Garland, you could vote for 1:07:05.080 --> 1:07:07.720 Todd blansh. I mean, it's just. 1:07:09.160 --> 1:07:12.280 Merck Garland was a far worse choice, a far more 1:07:12.880 --> 1:07:17.400 a political choice, a far more rabid choice than Todd Blanche. 1:07:19.000 --> 1:07:21.520 So I'm wondering if this is Aledo signaling something here, 1:07:24.080 --> 1:07:28.240 because President Trump said, great news for our country. Supreme 1:07:28.240 --> 1:07:30.600 Court Justice Samuel Alito has announced that he is staying 1:07:30.600 --> 1:07:32.800 on for another term. He is one of the greatest 1:07:32.840 --> 1:07:37.560 of all time. We are all lucky. We're definitely lucky, 1:07:38.560 --> 1:07:43.680 one thousand percent lucky that he's sticking around. You're lucky 1:07:44.160 --> 1:07:48.360 that you haven't had your information taken from the net 1:07:48.400 --> 1:07:49.760 yet and utilized against you. 1:07:49.840 --> 1:07:51.160 But man, it's happening. 1:07:51.400 --> 1:07:54.520 These data brokers, it's multi billion dollar industry, and they 1:07:54.560 --> 1:07:57.120 get all your information, not just your home address, not 1:07:57.160 --> 1:08:00.000 just your email address, but your medical conditions.

Tony Katz today. 1:09:19.439 --> 1:09:23.720 This over seat belts. This is the twenty twenty three 1:09:23.760 --> 1:09:27.599 to twenty twenty five Dodge Hornet, the twenty twenty three 1:09:27.720 --> 1:09:31.400 and through twenty twenty six Alfa Romeo Tanal tn Ali 1:09:31.520 --> 1:09:34.400 is a pronounced Tonal. By the way, this happens to 1:09:34.439 --> 1:09:37.320 me a lot with pronunciations. It's not that I don't 1:09:37.360 --> 1:09:40.840 know how to speak. It's that I read and I'm 1:09:40.840 --> 1:09:46.640 not watching videos and clips and everything else. And what 1:09:46.840 --> 1:09:52.240 happens is I sometimes mispronounce because I haven't heard it 1:09:52.240 --> 1:09:52.920 said before. 1:09:55.120 --> 1:09:56.600 I do feel bad about it. 1:09:56.640 --> 1:10:00.519 I have to now put it upon myself to to 1:10:00.600 --> 1:10:03.679 make sure I check, double check, and recheck. So sometimes 1:10:03.680 --> 1:10:06.960 I mispronounced and I apologize for that not trying to. 1:10:09.200 --> 1:10:17.080 So the recall is about a seat belt defect that 1:10:17.400 --> 1:10:23.040 could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Approximately 1:10:23.080 --> 1:10:28.120 one point six percent of the vehicles have the defect. 1:10:28.439 --> 1:10:32.439 The rear outboard seat belts may become twisted and failed 1:10:32.479 --> 1:10:33.719 to retract properly. 1:10:35.160 --> 1:10:36.840 So therefore it's not gonna hold you in. 1:10:36.880 --> 1:10:39.759 If there's an accent that breaks, get hit hard and whoop, 1:10:39.880 --> 1:10:40.479 you go flying. 1:10:42.720 --> 1:10:43.760 So there's the recall there. 1:10:44.280 --> 1:10:47.639 I have a larger question for Chrysler and Stillantis, which 1:10:47.720 --> 1:10:52.880 is how are they doing as a company. There were 1:10:52.920 --> 1:10:57.200 some years there, COVID years, et cetera, where they weren't 1:10:57.200 --> 1:11:01.719 building a vehicle that was working, weren't building a vehicle 1:11:01.800 --> 1:11:05.880 that was connecting, and they were just the quality had 1:11:05.920 --> 1:11:07.640 gone down. Then they got rid of the CEO. The 1:11:07.640 --> 1:11:09.640 CEO is actually like, well the problem isn't me, The 1:11:09.680 --> 1:11:13.040 problem is with you at the dealerships, and the dealers. 1:11:12.680 --> 1:11:14.240 Were like, are you out of your skull? And then 1:11:14.280 --> 1:11:18.160 the next thing you know, the CEO was gone. And 1:11:18.200 --> 1:11:21.120 so I think there is this rebuild at play. But 1:11:22.320 --> 1:11:23.920 I've not really heard anything about them. 1:11:24.120 --> 1:11:27.400 I hear about moves from GM, really interesting move for 1:11:27.439 --> 1:11:30.160 their supply chains, four and a half billion dollars moves 1:11:30.200 --> 1:11:33.200 from Ford as they're betting again on electric vehicles, but 1:11:33.200 --> 1:11:37.000 at thirty thousand dollars price point, I don't. 1:11:36.840 --> 1:11:40.800 Hear about Storantis. I don't hear about Chrysler. This is 1:11:40.800 --> 1:11:41.680 Tony Katz. 1:11:41.400 --> 1:11:53.400 Today Live from Dall, Hartland and the Crossroads of America. 1:11:53.680 --> 1:11:56.960 It's Tony Katz Today. The update with the RN is 1:11:57.000 --> 1:11:58.160 that we're still a war. 1:11:57.960 --> 1:11:58.759 Of some kinds. 1:11:59.120 --> 1:12:03.280 I mean, that's really all there is to say, Tony Katz. 1:12:03.360 --> 1:12:06.559 Tony Katz today. Good to be here, Good to be 1:12:06.760 --> 1:12:11.320 with you. President Trump. He doesn't seem concerned, doesn't seem worried, 1:12:11.439 --> 1:12:15.400 doesn't seem to have a care in the world about it, 1:12:15.439 --> 1:12:18.160 and still wants to push the idea that, of course 1:12:19.080 --> 1:12:24.759 we control the Strait of Hormuz, and prices are dropping fast. 1:12:24.880 --> 1:12:26.040 The country is doing well. 1:12:26.120 --> 1:12:30.519 The sock mark is fantastic record. We have seventy nine 1:12:30.600 --> 1:12:32.479 records so far in a short period of time. 1:12:33.360 --> 1:12:34.760 Four people are working. 1:12:34.560 --> 1:12:37.479 Right now in the United States and ever before, and 1:12:37.640 --> 1:12:42.280 prices are dropping fast. Iran is going fine, going just 1:12:42.439 --> 1:12:46.680 absolutely fine. We totally control the Strait of Hormos. We 1:12:46.720 --> 1:12:50.400 have control over it, nobody else, only US. Our navy 1:12:50.439 --> 1:12:53.800 is unbelievable, and things are going great for our country. 1:12:54.080 --> 1:12:58.639 I don't know how I'm supposed to respond to that, Sir. 1:13:00.080 --> 1:13:02.400 I don't know how so to respond. When we're still 1:13:02.400 --> 1:13:05.960 over eighty dollars a barrel on oil and it went 1:13:06.040 --> 1:13:10.320 up down a little bit from yesterday. I like that, 1:13:10.560 --> 1:13:14.679 but still above the seventy five number, which I'm supposed 1:13:14.720 --> 1:13:19.360 to believe is some kind of really important number to cost. 1:13:20.640 --> 1:13:23.200 And then you have the Wall Street Journal story about 1:13:23.200 --> 1:13:24.679 Iran and the survival economy. 1:13:24.680 --> 1:13:26.479 This goes to something we discussed yesterday. 1:13:27.320 --> 1:13:31.600 I believe in total honesty, and I believe in approaching 1:13:31.720 --> 1:13:37.639 everything with that, regardless of who gets upset. I believe 1:13:37.680 --> 1:13:42.040 that everything with Iran is winnable. You just have to 1:13:42.120 --> 1:13:45.040 be willing to do it. The conversation with Leland Viddert 1:13:45.080 --> 1:13:47.000 of News Nation yesterday, it was about whether or not 1:13:47.040 --> 1:13:50.200 there's the will, and his argument was Iran has the 1:13:50.240 --> 1:13:54.000 will and we don't. I don't believe that part to 1:13:54.040 --> 1:13:57.920 be true. I understand that that's what it looks like 1:13:58.040 --> 1:14:00.280 right now, but I've spent a lot of time thinking 1:14:00.320 --> 1:14:03.760 about that and going over that conversation. Am I to 1:14:03.800 --> 1:14:06.760 believe that President Trump doesn't have the will to end 1:14:07.160 --> 1:14:11.320 the Islamic regime. I believe that it is not his 1:14:11.520 --> 1:14:14.439 first choice. His first choice is to get the win. 1:14:14.520 --> 1:14:18.519 We've talked about this a million times, a million times 1:14:19.160 --> 1:14:22.280 that for Trump, the first rule of trumpsm is Trump wins. 1:14:22.280 --> 1:14:23.880 The second rule of trump Ism is that a deal 1:14:23.880 --> 1:14:25.559 can always be made as long as it adheres to 1:14:25.560 --> 1:14:28.519 the first rule of trump Ism. That is true, and 1:14:28.560 --> 1:14:32.880 he can declare victory anytime, and he could say, Okay, 1:14:32.720 --> 1:14:36.559 they're not having a nuclear weapon and control of the 1:14:36.600 --> 1:14:37.320 Strait is done. 1:14:37.320 --> 1:14:41.080 We want, We're done. He could do that anytime he wants. 1:14:41.280 --> 1:14:46.839 He always leaves himself that opportunity, always, always, always, always, 1:14:46.960 --> 1:14:51.280 always leaves himself that opportunity. But the question before us 1:14:51.400 --> 1:14:57.559 is if he doesn't get those things with clarity, then 1:14:58.240 --> 1:15:01.120 he's got a legacy issue. This was my argument that 1:15:01.240 --> 1:15:06.559 if you have the Iranians enriching uranium at all, one 1:15:06.680 --> 1:15:12.080 centrifuge spins legacy shattered. That's reality. That's the harsh reality. 1:15:12.080 --> 1:15:14.360 And certainly that had to be known going into all 1:15:14.400 --> 1:15:17.599 of this. And I'll say it again, I support ending 1:15:17.680 --> 1:15:21.320 the regime. I support ending these terrorists so we don't 1:15:21.320 --> 1:15:25.760 have to put up with these terrorists anymore. I absolutely 1:15:25.800 --> 1:15:30.160 support ending them. The President was okay with the idea 1:15:30.240 --> 1:15:33.639 of behavior change. I think this was a mistake, an 1:15:33.640 --> 1:15:36.360 incredible mistake on his part. You had to know that 1:15:36.479 --> 1:15:38.280 you're going to do the thing, you have to do 1:15:38.400 --> 1:15:40.280 the thing in totality. 1:15:40.960 --> 1:15:42.240 But there was this story as I. 1:15:42.200 --> 1:15:45.960 Was talking about from the Wall Street Journal about the 1:15:46.040 --> 1:15:51.920 survival economy, and I said, this falls into the conversation 1:15:51.960 --> 1:15:56.519 we had yesterday. And I am not somebody who buys 1:15:56.560 --> 1:16:00.160 into this. Iran is defying US pressure by becoming a 1:16:00.200 --> 1:16:06.479 survival economy. Who in Iran is becoming the survival economy? 1:16:06.560 --> 1:16:08.160 That's the question before US. 1:16:08.560 --> 1:16:12.240 Tehran's leaders focus on subsistence in bid to outlass sanctions 1:16:12.280 --> 1:16:16.519 in a naval blockade. So the people aren't in on this, 1:16:16.640 --> 1:16:21.400 The people aren't down for this. The IRGC is saying 1:16:21.479 --> 1:16:24.880 that we're okay living on rice and water. We are 1:16:25.000 --> 1:16:31.320 absolutely going to outlast because you can't handle high gas prices. 1:16:31.640 --> 1:16:35.519 That's now, so we have the argument here. 1:16:35.560 --> 1:16:37.840 We have what it is, and we can keep this 1:16:37.920 --> 1:16:40.160 is Iran speaking of the Ranium regime. We can keep 1:16:40.200 --> 1:16:43.200 throwing bombs and drones at US bases, and we can 1:16:43.280 --> 1:16:45.200 kill a soldier here and kill a soldier there, and 1:16:45.240 --> 1:16:48.680 you guys can't take it. Well, this would tell me 1:16:49.080 --> 1:16:52.559 certainly that you don't stop the bombings. And certainly, as 1:16:52.600 --> 1:16:54.760 we've discussed, a deal has to be made with the 1:16:54.880 --> 1:16:57.720 other nations in the Gulf, and they're gonna have to 1:16:57.720 --> 1:16:59.880 be the ones who go in, or you're gonna have 1:16:59.880 --> 1:17:03.360 to arm the Kurds. There are a lot of options. 1:17:03.400 --> 1:17:08.440 The question is will they be taken? But the idea 1:17:08.600 --> 1:17:16.400 that Iran is this defiant power. The problem with this story, 1:17:16.400 --> 1:17:18.680 it's the same story with the people who utilize the 1:17:18.760 --> 1:17:24.120 term for forever wars. It doesn't mean anything. That's what 1:17:24.200 --> 1:17:27.080 they're doing today after what we already did to them. 1:17:27.400 --> 1:17:29.400 What if what we did to them we keep doing 1:17:29.400 --> 1:17:32.759 to them. Exactly how long does their survival economy last? 1:17:34.000 --> 1:17:38.519 How long does it last? And the answer is can't 1:17:38.520 --> 1:17:39.160 be very long. 1:17:40.720 --> 1:17:46.599 They this is an admission of their issues, rationing scarce goods, 1:17:46.600 --> 1:17:51.000 limiting access to foreign currency, slashing investment, putting the burden 1:17:51.040 --> 1:17:56.160 onto households, preserving imports, trying to keep safe machinery of 1:17:56.200 --> 1:18:02.200 the state, rising poverty, get dysfunction. But it allows them 1:18:02.240 --> 1:18:05.160 to stall the talks with the United States. I would 1:18:05.160 --> 1:18:07.760 look at that as opportunity, and I would look at 1:18:07.800 --> 1:18:11.160 that and say, this means that there's an opportunity for 1:18:11.240 --> 1:18:14.599 further and further unrest amongst the Iranian people to happen, 1:18:14.920 --> 1:18:18.200 to allow them to further and further rise up against 1:18:18.439 --> 1:18:20.639 the regime. Now, the regime are a bunch of murderers. 1:18:21.479 --> 1:18:26.160 They've murdered sixty seventy thousand people. To be clear, they 1:18:26.320 --> 1:18:29.400 the Iranian regime, have murdered more of their citizens than 1:18:29.479 --> 1:18:33.599 Hamas fighting terrorist lowlifes were killed by the Israelis. Yet 1:18:33.680 --> 1:18:37.960 somehow Israel is the group guilty of genocide. Stop it 1:18:38.040 --> 1:18:40.800 right there. We could just end that whole conversation, as 1:18:40.840 --> 1:18:45.200 that conversation has well been ended. It's said, it's noise, 1:18:45.280 --> 1:18:51.200 it's pablem said in a regurgitated Pavlovian response by nonsense merchants. 1:18:52.560 --> 1:18:55.880 Of course everybody knows this, and of course everybody knows 1:18:56.000 --> 1:18:58.519 that Hamas is a terrorist organization that started this fight, 1:18:58.920 --> 1:19:02.240 and that the quote unquot Palestinian people in the main 1:19:02.720 --> 1:19:06.720 supported Hamas and didn't do anything to help free those hostages. 1:19:07.120 --> 1:19:09.920 Hostages held and people knew where they were and no 1:19:09.960 --> 1:19:10.479 one did a thing. 1:19:10.520 --> 1:19:12.080 They were fine with it. They were good with it. 1:19:12.680 --> 1:19:15.640 Let's not think that we're dealing with the poor downtrodden 1:19:15.720 --> 1:19:19.200 people there. These are people abused by Hamas. These are 1:19:19.240 --> 1:19:23.479 people who abused the Israelis, these Jews and Americans and others, 1:19:23.520 --> 1:19:24.840 by the way, and they. 1:19:24.760 --> 1:19:25.800 Were thrilled to do it. 1:19:26.240 --> 1:19:29.600 No one wants to discuss this reality, but it is 1:19:29.680 --> 1:19:31.760 indeed a reality. 1:19:31.800 --> 1:19:32.559 It is the. 1:19:32.479 --> 1:19:38.639 Factual situation on the ground. Iran has murdered more people. 1:19:38.800 --> 1:19:42.559 No one calls them genocidal. It seems pretty genocidal to 1:19:42.600 --> 1:19:47.679 anybody who has a brain and who is thinking. If 1:19:47.680 --> 1:19:49.760 you want the people to rise up, you have to 1:19:49.840 --> 1:19:52.519 give them the skills set by which to rise up, 1:19:52.640 --> 1:19:55.960 which means you have to arm them one way or another. 1:19:56.680 --> 1:19:57.800 Now, how do you arm the people? 1:19:57.880 --> 1:20:00.559 Well, this is the conversation about the Kurds, and how 1:20:00.560 --> 1:20:02.800 do you arm the Kurds, which is this ethnic group 1:20:02.840 --> 1:20:06.240 that comes from the region. There's a tremendous, tremendous population, 1:20:07.200 --> 1:20:10.120 and you can do that and they will do the work. 1:20:10.160 --> 1:20:13.240 They've stated through reporting that they will do the work. 1:20:13.880 --> 1:20:16.760 And if they will do the work, why aren't we 1:20:16.840 --> 1:20:18.719 doing it. Well, one of the reasons we're not doing 1:20:18.760 --> 1:20:21.320 it is because this was a plan from the Israelis, 1:20:22.560 --> 1:20:25.760 and it was jd Vance who got wind of it 1:20:26.320 --> 1:20:30.320 and said now let's not do this. Hey, let's leak this, 1:20:30.439 --> 1:20:32.680 let's not get this out there, let's not do this thing. 1:20:34.040 --> 1:20:38.120 And that was the end of that. A mistake in 1:20:38.160 --> 1:20:43.200 my view, a massive mistake in my view. Now, one 1:20:43.240 --> 1:20:45.519 could have argued that, hey, maybe this plan isn't the 1:20:45.520 --> 1:20:49.880 best plan. That's at least a conversation amongst military experts, 1:20:49.920 --> 1:20:52.040 people in the know. People have an idea. Okay, if 1:20:52.080 --> 1:20:54.479 you do this, here's the reaction to this, and here's 1:20:54.520 --> 1:20:56.360 how this group is going to respond, here's how this 1:20:56.400 --> 1:20:58.200 other group is going to do things right. 1:20:58.479 --> 1:20:59.920 You could have all of that. 1:21:01.479 --> 1:21:03.559 But to say, hey, let me leak this so nothing 1:21:03.560 --> 1:21:07.080 happens whatsoever and eliminate the possibility. I think that's an 1:21:07.160 --> 1:21:12.840 absolutely massive mistake, a serious, serious error. But it goes 1:21:12.880 --> 1:21:16.040 along with jd Vance's view of this, and Jade Vance's 1:21:16.120 --> 1:21:20.880 view of this is not a good view. You either 1:21:21.080 --> 1:21:24.880 end the regime or we stay in this place. President 1:21:24.880 --> 1:21:27.920 Trump seems okay to stay in this place where the 1:21:27.960 --> 1:21:31.400 blockade is there. You keep saying that the strait is 1:21:31.760 --> 1:21:34.400 in our control, but nothing shows that it's in our control, 1:21:35.439 --> 1:21:38.559 and you weight them out the siege mentality I don't 1:21:38.600 --> 1:21:41.280 think you have a siege mentality without continued bombings. I 1:21:41.280 --> 1:21:43.640 think that's a big mistake. I think you have to 1:21:43.680 --> 1:21:48.040 make things uncomfortable for the IRGC, and the way you 1:21:48.040 --> 1:21:52.000 make things uncomfortable for the IRGC is they have to die. 1:21:53.200 --> 1:21:55.120 There's ways to do that. You could do it from 1:21:55.160 --> 1:21:56.759 the air, but I think you're going to need people. 1:21:57.680 --> 1:22:01.960 You're going to need people on the ground. I want 1:22:01.960 --> 1:22:04.599 to hear more from the President about the pressure put 1:22:04.640 --> 1:22:09.040 on these Gulf nations. And you'll note you still haven't 1:22:09.040 --> 1:22:14.760 seen any movement from the Israelis. Absolutely nothing still on 1:22:14.880 --> 1:22:16.599 the Sidelast. The only thing you've heard from the Israelis 1:22:16.640 --> 1:22:20.000 recently is that they looked at the deal regarding Hamas 1:22:20.080 --> 1:22:22.160 surrender and they're like, Nah, that's not going to work. 1:22:22.360 --> 1:22:23.280 We're not pulling a. 1:22:23.200 --> 1:22:28.519 Single troop out of Gaza until every Hamas fighter has 1:22:28.520 --> 1:22:30.719 surrendered and we have every single weapon. 1:22:31.680 --> 1:22:33.200 Well, I don't know how you're going to prove that. 1:22:33.479 --> 1:22:35.400 So there we are there. 1:22:36.200 --> 1:22:38.160 I mean, I like this idea of the border peace, 1:22:38.160 --> 1:22:39.840 although I think it's a terrible name, and I like 1:22:39.880 --> 1:22:43.240 the idea of other nations investing in Gaza, therefore having 1:22:43.240 --> 1:22:44.040 some skin in the game. 1:22:44.439 --> 1:22:45.320 I like all of that. 1:22:46.320 --> 1:22:50.160 The whole rethink of the Middle East, I like, But 1:22:50.200 --> 1:22:53.000 that rethink is coming from the president, and it has 1:22:53.000 --> 1:22:55.640 had levels of success. Why isn't that rethink coming from 1:22:55.680 --> 1:22:58.960 the other Middle East nations saying if a Ram's gone, 1:22:59.000 --> 1:23:01.439 our life is easy, If this regime is gone, our 1:23:01.520 --> 1:23:02.120 life was better. 1:23:02.160 --> 1:23:03.840 What are we doing? What are we waiting for? 1:23:04.640 --> 1:23:08.000 They've never been this week. Let's go to work, Tony, 1:23:08.040 --> 1:23:09.880 their week. But they're still able to do this, this, this, this, 1:23:09.920 --> 1:23:12.599 and this, Yes, and imagine what happens, and they could 1:23:12.600 --> 1:23:14.880 have a nuclear weapon. So I'm glad we took out 1:23:14.880 --> 1:23:17.840 those facilities. I am Tony. They were never close to 1:23:17.840 --> 1:23:18.599 a nuclear weapon. 1:23:18.640 --> 1:23:19.479 It was all a lie. 1:23:19.640 --> 1:23:22.320 I don't believe any of that, Like I don't believe 1:23:22.479 --> 1:23:25.200 that the US was forced into this, manipulated by Israel. 1:23:25.240 --> 1:23:27.920 I don't believe in any of that either, Not for 1:23:28.000 --> 1:23:31.479 a second do I buy into any of that. The 1:23:31.520 --> 1:23:33.559 threat is the threat, and they've always shown themselves to 1:23:33.560 --> 1:23:35.640 be the threat, and they're still showing themselves to be 1:23:35.680 --> 1:23:38.160 the threat. So I don't know why anybody would think 1:23:38.200 --> 1:23:40.200 that somehow you had to be drawn into something when 1:23:40.200 --> 1:23:44.040 it was clear and obvious. But there's a reason that 1:23:44.120 --> 1:23:45.960 Israel right now is on the sidelines. There's a reason 1:23:46.000 --> 1:23:49.280 that being kept on the sidelines that much is crystal crystal, 1:23:49.320 --> 1:23:53.599 crystal clear. And I don't know why at this moment 1:23:53.680 --> 1:23:56.960 they aren't being unleashed to do more of what they 1:23:56.960 --> 1:24:00.120 can do, which is this precision attack, precision fighting, and 1:24:00.200 --> 1:24:03.920 maybe further crack the IRGC, which would create opportunities for us. 1:24:04.000 --> 1:24:09.000 Maybe that's coming. But the idea of Iran. 1:24:08.720 --> 1:24:13.680 Is able to wait us out because they are in 1:24:13.720 --> 1:24:19.280 a survival economy. That's now, when the water runs out, 1:24:19.280 --> 1:24:20.760 when the beans run out, when you know, you know 1:24:20.800 --> 1:24:23.360 what I mean, there comes a moment where this becomes 1:24:23.400 --> 1:24:28.040 more and more untenable for the people, and they are 1:24:28.320 --> 1:24:30.680 something you have to contend with. Now, the world's going 1:24:30.720 --> 1:24:33.200 to watch these people get murdered by the Iranian regime. Well, 1:24:33.280 --> 1:24:37.760 so far they have, world's done absolutely nothing. How long 1:24:37.800 --> 1:24:38.559 does that last? 1:24:39.280 --> 1:24:39.400 Oh? 1:24:39.479 --> 1:24:43.040 Yeah, this is a high stakes game, no question, this 1:24:43.200 --> 1:24:47.439 is a serious high stakes game. If we're going to 1:24:47.520 --> 1:24:51.200 go the siege route, I don't have a choice. That's 1:24:51.200 --> 1:24:55.360 the update we go the siege route. Does Iran have 1:24:55.400 --> 1:24:58.280 the desire to wait us out? Absolutely? Right? Now do 1:24:58.320 --> 1:25:02.200 they have will absolutely do we? I would hope so. 1:25:03.520 --> 1:25:06.679 And do I think that President Trump has wholly given 1:25:06.760 --> 1:25:09.880 up on this? He actually don't. Maybe you can call 1:25:09.880 --> 1:25:11.599 it naive te, maybe you can call it hope. It's 1:25:11.680 --> 1:25:15.280 just I think he's trying different tactics in all the 1:25:15.360 --> 1:25:18.880 ways he tries different things, and if it's come to 1:25:18.920 --> 1:25:20.439 a place of weigh him out, he's going to try 1:25:20.479 --> 1:25:23.760 it to weigh him out, especially if he doesn't think 1:25:23.760 --> 1:25:24.280 it hurts. 1:25:24.120 --> 1:25:25.439 Him too bad. 1:25:26.360 --> 1:25:30.160 Just stop saying that the strait is open, we have control. 1:25:31.280 --> 1:25:34.360 If we had control, oil would be below eighty dollars 1:25:34.439 --> 1:25:39.639 a barrel. We don't yet, So get it or stop 1:25:39.720 --> 1:25:43.519 saying it's that is it at the very least would 1:25:43.600 --> 1:25:47.000 make us all happy because we're tired of hearing the 1:25:47.040 --> 1:25:48.800 nonsense about this. 1:25:49.439 --> 1:25:49.880 Keep it here. 1:25:49.920 --> 1:25:52.599 I'm Tony Katz. Find everything at tonycats dot com. This 1:25:52.680 --> 1:25:53.759 is Tony Kats Today. 1:25:54.280 --> 1:25:57.679 We've got twelve and a half billion dollars a little 1:25:57.760 --> 1:26:00.240 less than a year ago, about ten months ago, and 1:26:00.280 --> 1:26:03.559 we have been working over time to deliver for the 1:26:03.560 --> 1:26:08.519 American people. So thus far we have changed out sixty 1:26:08.600 --> 1:26:13.240 percent of the copper to fiber. Once we get done 1:26:13.240 --> 1:26:16.320 switching over to fiber where they're gonna have to take 1:26:16.360 --> 1:26:20.519 our network from analog to digital. Don't laugh at us. 1:26:21.280 --> 1:26:24.360 Most companies have done this years ago. We are about 1:26:24.400 --> 1:26:25.799 to do that here at the FAA. 1:26:26.920 --> 1:26:32.639 Yeah, it's embarrassing this modernization that's only happening now at 1:26:32.680 --> 1:26:33.560 our airport. 1:26:35.120 --> 1:26:38.000 But it's like the Cobbler's kids. 1:26:38.040 --> 1:26:41.679 You know, everybody has shoes, and the cobblers kids doesn't 1:26:41.720 --> 1:26:44.160 because the Cobbler's too busy making shoes for the other people. 1:26:45.600 --> 1:26:48.880 It's kind of that, it's kind of, you know, just 1:26:48.960 --> 1:26:52.200 a whole bunch of ignorance until now. Tony Katz. Tony 1:26:52.280 --> 1:26:55.519 Kats today a pleasure to be here, guys. Thanks for you, 1:26:55.880 --> 1:26:57.720 Thanks to you for being here. If I could talk, 1:26:57.800 --> 1:27:01.440 I'd be a great radio host. Is the Secretary of Transportation, 1:27:01.640 --> 1:27:05.880 Sean Duffy, saying, we're modernizing, We're getting things on track, 1:27:06.240 --> 1:27:09.599 We're working on getting things done. This is the press 1:27:09.600 --> 1:27:10.559 conference yesterday. 1:27:12.000 --> 1:27:15.200 We have installed ninety six surface awareness systems like the 1:27:15.280 --> 1:27:18.360 one we are going to deploy today here at Newark. 1:27:19.280 --> 1:27:23.080 We have deployed nine new radar systems, three hundred and 1:27:23.080 --> 1:27:27.400 sixty three analog radios that we use between air traffic 1:27:27.400 --> 1:27:30.160 controllers and our pilots and airplanes. 1:27:30.600 --> 1:27:32.400 That's going from analog to digital. 1:27:33.200 --> 1:27:38.280 Nineteen towers have been converted to electronic flight strips. We 1:27:38.320 --> 1:27:41.160 have one hundred and fifty one new voice switch systems 1:27:41.800 --> 1:27:42.799 across America. 1:27:44.400 --> 1:27:46.040 They are making moves. 1:27:46.080 --> 1:27:49.200 I'm thrilled to see it, and I'm I'm a fan 1:27:49.280 --> 1:27:53.960 of Sean Duffies. I think he has been outrageously impressive. 1:27:55.000 --> 1:27:57.080 You go back to his first day on the job, 1:27:57.960 --> 1:28:01.080 he gets sworn in, and then that evening you have 1:28:01.200 --> 1:28:05.560 the Regional American Airlines jet hitting the helicopter outside of 1:28:05.680 --> 1:28:09.000 DC on approach. 1:28:08.520 --> 1:28:11.280 Into Reagan National helicopter shouldn't have been. 1:28:11.120 --> 1:28:14.599 There, or a pilot error, as at least was reported, 1:28:14.920 --> 1:28:18.880 horrifying people dead, awful, awful. 1:28:18.640 --> 1:28:21.360 Terrible, And there he was less than a day. 1:28:21.200 --> 1:28:24.880 On the job doing this, and he has been on 1:28:25.000 --> 1:28:28.240 top of it and professional ever since. 1:28:29.000 --> 1:28:31.040 And it is not glamorous. 1:28:31.120 --> 1:28:33.880 It's not Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of 1:28:33.920 --> 1:28:39.599 the Treasury. It's not glamorous. It's just getting done day 1:28:39.680 --> 1:28:44.240 by day. This isn't Pete Buda Judge's Department of Transportation, 1:28:44.760 --> 1:28:47.400 where there's talk of choo choo trains and look at me. 1:28:47.439 --> 1:28:49.000 I'm riding my bike to work. 1:28:49.080 --> 1:28:52.559 After the suv drops me off two blocks from the office. 1:28:52.840 --> 1:28:53.559 That happened. 1:28:54.400 --> 1:28:56.280 You saw it, and I, oh, yeah, if you didn't 1:28:56.320 --> 1:29:00.000 know that, actually that actually was a thing that happened. 1:29:01.240 --> 1:29:06.600 No work's getting done, the systems are getting upgraded. 1:29:07.200 --> 1:29:08.320 This is good. 1:29:09.280 --> 1:29:12.360 This is I can't even believe I'm saying this regarding 1:29:12.400 --> 1:29:17.680 government but efficient. I'm thrilled by what I'm seeing, and 1:29:17.760 --> 1:29:21.760 I'm thrilled to have somebody who is focused on not 1:29:21.880 --> 1:29:27.200 pretending to breastfeed, but is focused on the job. These 1:29:27.200 --> 1:29:31.479 things matter, and they are indeed unglamorous, but they do 1:29:31.560 --> 1:29:32.840 require our time. 1:29:33.680 --> 1:29:36.120 You know. I am a believer that we should end 1:29:36.160 --> 1:29:37.840 the income tax. Oh. 1:29:37.880 --> 1:29:40.880 I wholeheartedly believe that the income tax is a sin. 1:29:41.640 --> 1:29:44.880 The idea that government has any connection to my labor, 1:29:45.800 --> 1:29:49.040 has any right to my labor, is nonsense. I also 1:29:49.160 --> 1:29:51.519 argue that no good has ever come from the income tax. 1:29:52.280 --> 1:29:54.640 I feel differently on a state level, although when it 1:29:54.640 --> 1:29:56.960 comes to income taxes, I'm always the same. But states 1:29:56.960 --> 1:29:58.639 can do things that I believe the federal government should 1:29:58.640 --> 1:30:00.280 not be allowed to do. We should absolutely rid of 1:30:00.280 --> 1:30:02.720 the income tax. That is different than whether or not 1:30:02.720 --> 1:30:05.880 I believe they can collect taxes. It's different than whether 1:30:05.960 --> 1:30:08.240 or not I believe that there is a price to 1:30:08.400 --> 1:30:12.719 pay for the liberty society and keeping these things going 1:30:12.760 --> 1:30:16.000 and flowing and working. Now we can argue that's not 1:30:16.080 --> 1:30:18.519 the role of government, that's actually the role of the 1:30:18.600 --> 1:30:22.640 airport itself. Well, we can discuss an idea of standards. 1:30:23.680 --> 1:30:26.639 We can discuss that we may not want big government, 1:30:27.000 --> 1:30:29.360 but we can at least agree an article on section eight. 1:30:29.400 --> 1:30:32.800 We can agree on some basic skills things. And if 1:30:32.800 --> 1:30:35.000 this is going to be one of the basic things 1:30:35.000 --> 1:30:37.200 we agree on, I don't mind it being funded. 1:30:37.560 --> 1:30:39.360 What I want is professionalism. 1:30:39.720 --> 1:30:41.880 I want to focus on making sure the dollar is 1:30:41.920 --> 1:30:47.400 not misspent or mismanaged, and I want results to that end. 1:30:49.320 --> 1:30:55.320 I like seeing this. Sean Duffy is getting results, and 1:30:55.439 --> 1:30:56.880 this is good. 1:30:57.880 --> 1:31:03.880 This is very, very very good. I want to see 1:31:03.920 --> 1:31:04.360 more of it. 1:31:04.760 --> 1:31:07.479 I'm not one hundred percent sure in what other capacity 1:31:07.520 --> 1:31:09.519 we're gonna see what Department of Transportation. There could be 1:31:09.520 --> 1:31:11.200 some things, but this is what we want to see 1:31:11.240 --> 1:31:13.720 across the board. If we're gonna spend our money, we 1:31:13.800 --> 1:31:17.719 want success. We want to see rational people, professional people 1:31:17.760 --> 1:31:20.280 doing a professional job and getting it done quickly and clear. 1:31:21.360 --> 1:31:27.479 It's good on Sean Duffy. This is Tony Katx today. 1:31:28.600 --> 1:31:31.839 So the numbers come in on the consumer price index, 1:31:31.960 --> 1:31:36.760 an inflation conversation, and they're up point one point one. 1:31:37.760 --> 1:31:42.639 Huh that ain't that ain't bad at all. The annual 1:31:42.720 --> 1:31:46.639 rates three point four, Well, that's not great, but it's 1:31:46.720 --> 1:31:49.040 not going up. And if inflation is not going up, 1:31:49.080 --> 1:31:51.080 it's gonna tell the Federal Reserve don't do any rate 1:31:51.120 --> 1:31:55.560 hikes because they want to because inflation is still too high. 1:31:55.640 --> 1:31:57.519 But the measure doesn't make any sense when you get 1:31:57.560 --> 1:32:02.040 rid of food and energy, volatile energy and it goes 1:32:02.200 --> 1:32:06.680 up to point two. I don't understand what's happening here, 1:32:06.720 --> 1:32:09.479 Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be with you. 1:32:09.560 --> 1:32:13.320 Doctor Batt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis, is 1:32:13.360 --> 1:32:17.720 here to make it all make sense. This is peculiar, right, 1:32:17.760 --> 1:32:21.040 because there's a lot of conversation about that the Fed 1:32:21.160 --> 1:32:23.360 was going to raise rates in September. You have two 1:32:23.360 --> 1:32:25.640 Federal Reserve governors who wanted to do that because the 1:32:25.640 --> 1:32:29.000 inflation is still too high. Tariffs are causing that. Tarots 1:32:29.000 --> 1:32:31.920 did not create an explosion of inflation. It's just keeping 1:32:31.920 --> 1:32:35.600 it higher than we want it to be. But you 1:32:35.720 --> 1:32:38.120 also have this madness of oil prices because of what's 1:32:38.120 --> 1:32:41.599 going on in Iran that's having an effect. Yet somehow, 1:32:41.600 --> 1:32:45.240 if I take energy out, the measure of inflation goes up, 1:32:45.520 --> 1:32:47.920 and that doesn't make any sense at all. So let's 1:32:47.920 --> 1:32:50.519 start where we start, doctor Matt Will. What does this 1:32:50.560 --> 1:32:51.320 report say to you? 1:32:52.640 --> 1:32:54.280 Well, first of all, you got to remember that this 1:32:54.320 --> 1:32:56.080 is not the report that the FED is going to 1:32:56.120 --> 1:32:58.839 use to make decisions, but it does give Kevin Walsh 1:32:58.920 --> 1:33:01.680 Cover spoke of that just about that just a few 1:33:01.720 --> 1:33:04.920 days ago. Kevin now has more time. This is a 1:33:04.960 --> 1:33:06.880 good enough report that it's going to give him some 1:33:06.960 --> 1:33:09.879 breathing room again to not have to make a decision 1:33:09.920 --> 1:33:13.479 to increase rates to control inflation, because this isn't the 1:33:13.840 --> 1:33:16.320 measure that they use to make their decisions. But here's 1:33:16.320 --> 1:33:19.479 the good news. So the report point one for the months, 1:33:19.640 --> 1:33:22.639 it's now a trend. Last month it was down point 1:33:22.720 --> 1:33:26.120 four down. So we now have a two month decent 1:33:26.240 --> 1:33:28.559 trend in the CPI, which is what you and I 1:33:28.640 --> 1:33:30.880 pay when we go to the grocery store. Core you 1:33:30.960 --> 1:33:34.480 mentioned at point two point two. That's two point four annualized. 1:33:34.800 --> 1:33:38.559 That's still too high, but the rest of the report 1:33:38.600 --> 1:33:40.960 gives him cover. In fact, when you dig down into 1:33:41.000 --> 1:33:44.519 the details, almost every category is in good shape. The 1:33:44.600 --> 1:33:47.920 only two that are not are airline tickets, which are 1:33:47.960 --> 1:33:51.559 two point two percent for the month, and healthcare, which 1:33:51.600 --> 1:33:55.720 is point six. The healthcare is persistent. We continue to 1:33:55.720 --> 1:33:59.639 see an incre in healthcare inflation. That is the big 1:33:59.760 --> 1:34:03.080 red flag in this report. If there is one, the airlines, 1:34:03.240 --> 1:34:06.000 I'm not worried about. That's a blip because they have 1:34:06.160 --> 1:34:10.960 contracted inventory during the whole situation with Iran. They're going 1:34:11.000 --> 1:34:15.240 to expand their inventory once things stabilize. It's a good report. 1:34:15.439 --> 1:34:17.920 It's not a decision report. But the bottom line for 1:34:18.000 --> 1:34:21.200 me is it gives Kevin wash more time to make 1:34:21.240 --> 1:34:24.679 the right decisions. So he should be happy, and quite honestly, 1:34:24.680 --> 1:34:26.439 we should be happy because he'll probably end up doing 1:34:26.479 --> 1:34:27.519 the right thing on inflation. 1:34:27.880 --> 1:34:30.439 Now let me you said trend. Now, let me go 1:34:30.520 --> 1:34:32.240 through a couple numbers with you. If I take a 1:34:32.240 --> 1:34:36.400 look at all items from May, June and July, all 1:34:36.400 --> 1:34:40.280 items was point five negative point four and last month 1:34:40.320 --> 1:34:43.439 point one that we're discussing. If I take out food 1:34:43.479 --> 1:34:47.840 and energy, it goes point two zero point zero and 1:34:47.880 --> 1:34:48.639 then point two. 1:34:48.760 --> 1:34:51.360 What we just saw in the month of July. What 1:34:51.400 --> 1:34:52.720 the hell kind of trend does that? 1:34:54.240 --> 1:34:58.439 Well, okay, it's not a uniform trend, but they're all 1:34:58.560 --> 1:35:00.320 low when you take with you, when you look at 1:35:00.320 --> 1:35:02.920 the core, which you did, and those numbers you just listed, 1:35:03.200 --> 1:35:07.240 those are consistently low. Now I know I'm saying low. 1:35:07.520 --> 1:35:10.240 You and I don't agree. Two point four percent inflation 1:35:10.439 --> 1:35:13.439 is not low, but it's lower than it was, and 1:35:13.479 --> 1:35:16.320 it's low enough that it's going to allow him to 1:35:16.360 --> 1:35:21.599 not have to take inflation reactions quickly. And again, I've 1:35:21.600 --> 1:35:23.840 told you before and I'll say it again. I don't 1:35:23.880 --> 1:35:26.320 think the way you fight inflation right now is by 1:35:26.360 --> 1:35:28.759 increasing the Fed Funds rate. I think the Fed Funds 1:35:28.800 --> 1:35:31.320 rate is stable. It should stay stable. I like where 1:35:31.360 --> 1:35:33.559 it's at the way that he wants to fight it, 1:35:33.600 --> 1:35:35.680 and the way I also want to fight it is 1:35:35.720 --> 1:35:39.599 to begin to sell assets off the balance sheet. 1:35:39.680 --> 1:35:44.920 Talking to doctor Matt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis, 1:35:45.360 --> 1:35:49.719 we'll save that conversation for another day. Annual inflation rate 1:35:50.080 --> 1:35:54.120 at three point four percent, we look at this. The 1:35:54.160 --> 1:35:56.840 market looks at this and says, we don't care. 1:35:58.520 --> 1:36:01.080 Well, okay again, it's looking at it like I do. 1:36:01.280 --> 1:36:03.519 That three point four percent is a government number that's 1:36:03.600 --> 1:36:07.479 twelve months old. They're not looking twelve months old. The 1:36:07.520 --> 1:36:10.280 market is looking at this month and last month, and 1:36:10.400 --> 1:36:12.280 both of these months. If you look at the headline 1:36:12.320 --> 1:36:16.080 number negative point four and point one. The market likes it. 1:36:16.160 --> 1:36:19.839 So immediately when this report was released, four things happened. 1:36:20.200 --> 1:36:23.120 We saw that the Nasdaq went up. We saw that 1:36:23.160 --> 1:36:26.720 the Dow went up. We saw that interest rates went 1:36:26.760 --> 1:36:29.120 down in both the ten year and the two year, 1:36:29.520 --> 1:36:32.120 so we saw a decrease in rates. We saw an 1:36:32.200 --> 1:36:35.879 increase in the stock market. The market likes this report 1:36:35.920 --> 1:36:39.679 because they see the same thing I see. Kevin Walsh 1:36:39.800 --> 1:36:42.639 gets breathing room, and that's what they want him to have. 1:36:43.040 --> 1:36:45.560 All Right, you're going to drag me into this conversation 1:36:45.760 --> 1:36:51.200 because your argument, sir, is that the removing of things 1:36:51.200 --> 1:36:55.960 from the balance sheet is the golden goose. Once that 1:36:56.120 --> 1:37:02.000 starts happening, everybody does better. The tariffs won't matter, oil 1:37:02.120 --> 1:37:05.000 prices won't matter. Your pain in the ass brother in 1:37:05.080 --> 1:37:08.920 law won't matter. Nothing matters. If we take things off 1:37:08.960 --> 1:37:12.320 the balance sheet. First, describe what it means to take 1:37:12.360 --> 1:37:15.000 things off the balance sheet. What is Kevin Walsh, the 1:37:15.040 --> 1:37:18.400 new chair of the Federal Reserve, believes in. And then 1:37:18.920 --> 1:37:22.120 is it indeed the panacea we've all been hoping for? 1:37:23.320 --> 1:37:25.799 Well, I'm going to answer your first your second question. First, 1:37:25.960 --> 1:37:28.840 it's not the panacea, but it's one of the pieces. 1:37:29.200 --> 1:37:31.799 Tariffs are the other piece, and that is a big, 1:37:32.120 --> 1:37:35.240 big problem. And I will refer people to an article 1:37:35.280 --> 1:37:38.679 that you send me about, you know, mister wonderful Kevin 1:37:38.720 --> 1:37:42.120 m'leary talking about how bad the tariffs are and how 1:37:42.200 --> 1:37:45.559 the AI is covering up the damage done by those. So, no, 1:37:45.600 --> 1:37:48.360 it's not the panacea. But the way it works is 1:37:48.479 --> 1:37:51.200 very simple. The Fed and anybody should look this up. 1:37:51.280 --> 1:37:54.240 Just go to Google and look up FED balance sheet 1:37:54.360 --> 1:37:56.519 and look at the image. Look up images. You'll see 1:37:56.560 --> 1:37:59.120 this massive balance sheet that they have. They own all 1:37:59.160 --> 1:38:04.080 these assets, mortgages, treasury bills. They need to sell those. 1:38:04.360 --> 1:38:07.360 They've been buying them to juice the economy that was wrong. 1:38:07.880 --> 1:38:10.679 They need to sell them because here's what happens. They 1:38:10.720 --> 1:38:13.599 sell a bond because the government owns it. They sell 1:38:13.600 --> 1:38:16.000 a mortgage because the government owns it. As soon as 1:38:16.040 --> 1:38:19.640 they sell those they receive cash, and that cash is 1:38:19.720 --> 1:38:23.439 removed from the economy. That is the key. When they 1:38:23.479 --> 1:38:27.960 remove the cash from the economy, inflation goes down. They 1:38:28.000 --> 1:38:31.240 need to sell these assets. They need to take cash 1:38:31.360 --> 1:38:34.720 out of the economy. Kevin Walsh knows that's the way 1:38:34.760 --> 1:38:38.519 to do it. Not by increasing interest rates. That is 1:38:38.560 --> 1:38:40.880 not the right solution. Interest rates are now in a 1:38:41.000 --> 1:38:45.040 very good equilibrium location. Now they need to sell assets 1:38:45.280 --> 1:38:47.920 and pull that cash out of the economy. But there 1:38:47.920 --> 1:38:51.799 are other parts, like we mentioned, like tariffs, like federal 1:38:51.840 --> 1:38:52.920 government deficits. 1:38:53.880 --> 1:38:58.160 Talking to doctor Matt Well, economists at the University of Indianapolis. 1:38:57.520 --> 1:39:00.479 Let me throw a curve your way. Want to talk 1:39:00.479 --> 1:39:01.400 to you about the report. 1:39:01.439 --> 1:39:05.479 But in the world of AI as you know that 1:39:05.600 --> 1:39:07.640 what I had sent you regarding Kevin O'Leary is that 1:39:07.720 --> 1:39:11.439 Kevin O'Leary's point is that we're spending so much money 1:39:11.439 --> 1:39:16.040 investing in AI it is booying the economy. And if 1:39:16.040 --> 1:39:19.040 it wasn't for that, the tariffs would knock the snot 1:39:19.080 --> 1:39:21.000 out of this economy and break it in two. And 1:39:21.040 --> 1:39:22.960 I sent that to you and your response to me 1:39:23.200 --> 1:39:26.800 was where I was at. He clearly listens to our conversations. 1:39:26.840 --> 1:39:29.960 He's listening to the show every single day. We've been 1:39:29.960 --> 1:39:33.759 having this conversation for over a year now in different ways. 1:39:34.240 --> 1:39:39.120 But on the AI tip, Brad Lightcamp, who was the 1:39:39.240 --> 1:39:43.719 chief operating officer for open Ai, has left the company. 1:39:43.760 --> 1:39:47.920 He's going to start something new. The question before us 1:39:48.040 --> 1:39:52.679 is is this a sign of something bad that at 1:39:53.160 --> 1:39:57.280 one of the bigger AI groups that you're starting to 1:39:57.320 --> 1:39:58.519 see it's not just him. 1:39:58.920 --> 1:40:00.959 You're seeing people for the exits. 1:40:03.200 --> 1:40:06.200 Wait, wait, are they heading for the exits or are 1:40:06.200 --> 1:40:09.920 they heading for new opportunities? I mean, think about it. 1:40:10.120 --> 1:40:12.639 If you were a big shot in one of these companies, 1:40:12.680 --> 1:40:14.880 You've got your stock options, you've got your pay that 1:40:14.920 --> 1:40:18.360 you've made over the years. You cashed in. But wait, 1:40:18.400 --> 1:40:20.280 we're at the beginning of this boom, and I believe 1:40:20.280 --> 1:40:22.720 we're at the beginning of this boom. Wouldn't you go 1:40:22.840 --> 1:40:25.120 off and be you know, the next stew jobs the 1:40:25.200 --> 1:40:27.240 next and Bill Gates? Wouldn't you want to start your own? 1:40:28.360 --> 1:40:32.000 I really believe that these people know there's a golden 1:40:32.080 --> 1:40:33.760 goose out there and they're going to go get their own. 1:40:35.800 --> 1:40:38.320 When you say get their own that is to believe 1:40:40.120 --> 1:40:41.719 that is to believe that. 1:40:43.160 --> 1:40:48.559 There's more investment to come. We're already into the We're 1:40:48.560 --> 1:40:52.559 over a trillion dollars in the investments, and you're. 1:40:52.400 --> 1:40:54.760 Telling me that there's more to come. Now. 1:40:54.800 --> 1:40:57.320 I'm not a believer that the pie is finite, right, 1:40:57.360 --> 1:41:00.360 I'm not a player in that, But even I have 1:41:00.439 --> 1:41:04.519 to ask the question, exactly how much more investment can 1:41:04.560 --> 1:41:05.720 there possibly be? 1:41:07.479 --> 1:41:10.240 Okay, I don't have the number in front of me 1:41:10.320 --> 1:41:12.960 at my fingertips, but just go look at what Meta 1:41:13.040 --> 1:41:18.040 did last two weeks. They announced massive bond issues for 1:41:18.120 --> 1:41:20.599 the purposes of getting so much cash that could dump 1:41:20.640 --> 1:41:24.519 into data centers and AI development. Apple, which is way 1:41:24.600 --> 1:41:26.479 behind the curve on this. They aren't even in the 1:41:26.560 --> 1:41:29.400 game yet. Wait till they get into the AI game. 1:41:29.760 --> 1:41:33.000 Apple has a history. I'm not a fan of Apple's 1:41:33.160 --> 1:41:36.160 r indeed since Steve Jobs passed, But I got to 1:41:36.200 --> 1:41:39.080 tell you they's nothing to be sneezed at. This company 1:41:39.120 --> 1:41:42.720 knows what they're doing. This. People are going to look 1:41:42.760 --> 1:41:45.439 back and think, oh, you're kidding me. I should have 1:41:45.439 --> 1:41:49.280 gotten into the AI early. Yeah, yeah, it's not too 1:41:49.360 --> 1:41:51.840 late to get in on AI. This thing is just 1:41:51.920 --> 1:41:54.200 beginning to take off. I mean, I could give you 1:41:54.920 --> 1:41:59.120 this week of people entrepreneurs I've had conversations with who 1:41:59.160 --> 1:42:07.440 are saying, revolutionize their business across the World's. 1:42:05.160 --> 1:42:08.680 Great, it's revolutionizing their business across the world. And there 1:42:08.720 --> 1:42:11.120 are going to be plenty of places that there's pushback on, 1:42:11.240 --> 1:42:12.880 like you know what, we tried to say, I crap 1:42:13.200 --> 1:42:14.800 and it doesn't work. 1:42:14.840 --> 1:42:15.920 We tried to say I stuff. 1:42:15.920 --> 1:42:18.200 You know what, we actually need people again these things 1:42:18.280 --> 1:42:19.240 EBB and flow. 1:42:19.960 --> 1:42:21.080 My question was to. 1:42:21.040 --> 1:42:24.160 The idea of is there a moment where markets say 1:42:24.439 --> 1:42:27.439 that's too much investment, that you guys are spending in 1:42:27.439 --> 1:42:30.080 the wrong places. We need to self correct on all 1:42:30.120 --> 1:42:32.000 of this because you're all being ridiculous. 1:42:33.800 --> 1:42:36.640 You know what. The answer is, yes, but this is 1:42:36.680 --> 1:42:38.760 not that situation. This is not a bubble like two 1:42:38.840 --> 1:42:41.800 thousand and one, because these companies have earnings. These companies 1:42:41.840 --> 1:42:46.000 have profits. Another reason that we see CPI being moderated 1:42:46.040 --> 1:42:48.639 and not let's go back to the original topic and 1:42:48.680 --> 1:42:52.360 not the producer prices. Those things are still inflated is 1:42:52.400 --> 1:42:56.680 because the profits are so huge. These profits are justified. 1:42:57.600 --> 1:43:00.280 These prices are justified. When you see the ice of 1:43:00.280 --> 1:43:02.880 a stop going up. This is not you know, a 1:43:02.920 --> 1:43:07.799 one hundred times earnings with no earnings. Sometimes these are earnings, 1:43:07.800 --> 1:43:10.840 these are profits, and the prices are reasonable given the 1:43:10.880 --> 1:43:14.200 growth in these companies. There is no bubble here. There 1:43:14.240 --> 1:43:16.479 is will the market go down at some point, of course, 1:43:16.720 --> 1:43:18.479 but there is no bubble that we're looking at in 1:43:18.479 --> 1:43:19.200 the near future. 1:43:19.960 --> 1:43:23.519 Doctor Matt Well, economist at the University of Indianapolis. I 1:43:23.560 --> 1:43:25.640 appreciate you taking the time to be with us. 1:43:25.720 --> 1:43:26.479 Keep it right here. 1:43:26.560 --> 1:43:30.800 This is Tony Katz today. So those primary results, yeah, sure, 1:43:30.960 --> 1:43:34.519 the progressive wins in Minnesota in that center right for 1:43:34.560 --> 1:43:37.400 the Democrats. But it's not like Angie Craig wasn't also 1:43:37.479 --> 1:43:41.360 going to be a leftist. It's that Peggy Flanagan is 1:43:41.479 --> 1:43:46.160 a ridiculous leftist. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, these are 1:43:46.160 --> 1:43:48.800 the people who else who decided that Amy Klobachar should 1:43:48.800 --> 1:43:50.800 be the nominee for governor. I mean, she's going to 1:43:50.840 --> 1:43:56.920 get elected governor. It's it's unbelievable to witness. I've always argued, though, 1:43:56.960 --> 1:44:01.120 that Klobachar has something in her that has the capacity 1:44:01.160 --> 1:44:04.840 to be normal. I believe that she has it in her. 1:44:05.400 --> 1:44:07.639 The question is will she do it, and more often 1:44:07.640 --> 1:44:10.519 than not she chooses no. She'd rather just you know, 1:44:11.439 --> 1:44:13.720 throw a stapler at you or use it to eat 1:44:13.760 --> 1:44:14.280 a salad. 1:44:15.000 --> 1:44:17.559 She's an odd, odd bird. 1:44:17.840 --> 1:44:21.280 And then in Wisconsin, the big one, Francesca Hung loses 1:44:21.360 --> 1:44:27.639 the primary. She loses the primary when she was twenty 1:44:27.760 --> 1:44:33.080 two points ahead, twenty two points in some poles she 1:44:33.320 --> 1:44:37.080 was double digits ahead. And in the end she loses 1:44:37.760 --> 1:44:40.320 the primary to David Crowley. 1:44:39.840 --> 1:44:44.040 Whose name you never heard in Wisconsin. How does that happen? 1:44:44.920 --> 1:44:47.679 How did they get the polling so wrong? 1:44:49.880 --> 1:44:52.960 Listen, the socialist, which is to say, the communist doesn't care. 1:44:53.600 --> 1:44:56.120 They're moving forward. They're moving forward a pace because they've 1:44:56.160 --> 1:44:58.480 got a plan, they've got a strategy, they've got a philosophy. 1:44:59.320 --> 1:45:03.400 And this is Zaron Mamdani before he was mayor, when 1:45:03.439 --> 1:45:07.560 he was community organizer. Are just you know, lamean kami Islamist, 1:45:08.120 --> 1:45:11.600 a living example the Right Green Alliance, and this was 1:45:11.760 --> 1:45:13.320 his plan and strategy. 1:45:15.000 --> 1:45:18.000 I think that with the interesting thing about our communities 1:45:18.040 --> 1:45:20.720 here is I think that minority communities, because we have 1:45:20.840 --> 1:45:25.120 never had representation, we are tied much more to identity. 1:45:25.840 --> 1:45:29.840 White communities they've had representation forever, and so for them, 1:45:30.120 --> 1:45:33.360 their tie is a little less identity and a little 1:45:33.360 --> 1:45:36.040 more ideology. And so what I mean by that is, 1:45:36.040 --> 1:45:37.600 we have a lot of voters here who think of 1:45:37.640 --> 1:45:41.800 themselves first as progressive voters, and so we reach out 1:45:41.840 --> 1:45:45.760 to them speaking about our platform, our progressive platform. And 1:45:46.160 --> 1:45:48.360 you're very right that you need someone in the middle 1:45:48.560 --> 1:45:51.280 to be a validator, someone to tell them to trust us, 1:45:51.320 --> 1:45:54.760 believe in us. We've had that with Tiffany Kaban and 1:45:54.840 --> 1:45:55.679 Cynthia Nixon. 1:45:56.200 --> 1:46:01.479 So the plan is to use liberal white like Cynthia Nixon, 1:46:01.600 --> 1:46:07.280 or just liberal women in general, to get yourself into white. 1:46:07.080 --> 1:46:10.960 Communities to get them to vote for you. I will 1:46:11.000 --> 1:46:12.280 say liberal women. 1:46:12.360 --> 1:46:15.040 I've always said this, liberal white women most dangerous people 1:46:15.040 --> 1:46:18.760 in America because they'll allow anything. They will allow anything. 1:46:18.840 --> 1:46:22.680 But it's an interesting point about identity versus ideology. This 1:46:22.720 --> 1:46:25.640 is black people voting for black candidates, Muslims voting for 1:46:25.720 --> 1:46:28.080 Muslim candidates, so that we don't care about anything else, 1:46:28.160 --> 1:46:29.960 just muslim click check. 1:46:31.000 --> 1:46:32.639 No, no, no. 1:46:32.560 --> 1:46:38.120 We can't, we can't have this. They're the ones screaming racism. 1:46:38.160 --> 1:46:42.640 They're the ones screaming all sorts of xenophobic this and. 1:46:44.600 --> 1:46:47.080 Whiteness is the problem. Look at what they're doing. They're 1:46:47.120 --> 1:46:49.160 admitted to who they are and how they work and 1:46:49.240 --> 1:46:49.880 all the rest. 1:46:50.960 --> 1:46:53.040 We could get these people to vote as this block 1:46:53.080 --> 1:46:54.720 because the only thing that will matter is that we 1:46:54.760 --> 1:46:59.840 share this skin color or this identity, and we'll use 1:47:00.000 --> 1:47:02.479 seral white women to get white women to come for us, 1:47:02.560 --> 1:47:09.560 to come to our side, to vote for us. That's 1:47:09.760 --> 1:47:13.880 very telling. That's a plan, that's a strategy. Before you 1:47:13.960 --> 1:47:17.800 knew his name, he was working the game. He was 1:47:17.880 --> 1:47:21.760 working the strategy. Do we understand what it is that 1:47:21.800 --> 1:47:26.120 we're up against when we talk about these communists? 1:47:26.120 --> 1:47:27.200 How long it's been happening. 1:47:27.240 --> 1:47:30.719 This goes back to the Secretary of State's report on Cuba. 1:47:31.240 --> 1:47:35.760 This has been the effort and it's getting results. And 1:47:35.800 --> 1:47:38.679 they don't care if they lose some primary Wisconsin. They'll 1:47:38.720 --> 1:47:41.000 be back at it two years, and you better damn 1:47:41.040 --> 1:47:44.000 we'll be ready for it. Find everything at Tony Kotts 1:47:44.040 --> 1:47:44.479 dot com. 1:47:44.479 --> 1:47:46.200 I'll catch you tomorrow. Everybody, take care
