Speaker 1: Live from ball Hartland and the Crossroads of America. It's
Speaker 1: Tony Katz Today. I'm taking a look at these primaries.
Speaker 1: I'm taking a look.
Speaker 2: At what happened in Wisconsin, and I am saying to myself,
Speaker 2: my gosh, can.
Speaker 3: Nobody get any polling right? Now? It wasn't true in
Speaker 3: all places.
Speaker 2: They certainly got pulling right in for example, wisconsint No,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry Minnesota, but they absolutely got it wrong, horrifically,
Speaker 2: horrifically wrong in Wisconsin, so much so that we have
Speaker 2: to ask ourselves if we're gonna believe anything they have
Speaker 2: to say. Tony Katz, Tony Katz Today and absolute pleasure, guys,
Speaker 2: glad that you are here live streaming as we do
Speaker 2: on the YouTube's and on Rumble. Just go to Tony
Speaker 2: Kat's look for the channel Tony Kats Today and make
Speaker 2: it happen on the Twitter ex Tony Katz and Facebook
Speaker 2: Tony Kats Radio. Now, some things weren't a surprise, right,
Speaker 2: Peggy Flanagan winning the Senate primary for the Democrats in
Speaker 2: Minnesota or Andrey Craig is not a surprise. They went
Speaker 2: with the lieutenant governor. She had name recognition. Of course,
Speaker 2: this is the one who says, protect trans kids. We're
Speaker 2: wearing a T shirt that has a knife on it, right,
Speaker 2: says protect trans kids, and it's got the knife on it,
Speaker 2: because she's going to be really tough. If you don't
Speaker 2: protect those trans kids. My gosh, if you don't let
Speaker 2: us mutilate children, I'm going to be so angry with you. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: in Connecticut, they just stopped allowing that procedure to take place.
Speaker 2: They said, no more mutilating children, which is of course
Speaker 2: the right response. And we should go a step further
Speaker 2: that the doctors who engage in child mutilation should be questioned.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no no. This isn't a.
Speaker 2: Medical practice we find okay, top surgery, bottom surgery, chemical castration,
Speaker 2: all of it has to go. Children are not adults
Speaker 2: and we don't allow them to define themselves in this
Speaker 2: way or mutilate themselves this way. And anybody who wants
Speaker 2: to give children agency is out of their heads and
Speaker 2: is a danger to those children. Show me the person
Speaker 2: who wants to give a child agency, and I will
Speaker 2: show you the person who wants to abuse that child.
Speaker 2: I said it, I meant it, you can quote me.
Speaker 2: I'm cool with it. Peggy flying again wins that. But
Speaker 2: this is this is Minnesota. This is the land of
Speaker 2: the DFL. And with the DFL in Minnesota, being radically
Speaker 2: left is part of their charm. And when I say charm,
Speaker 2: I'm not referring to any kind of charm whatsoever whatsoever. DFL,
Speaker 2: Democratic Farmer Labor, this is their party. They've always been
Speaker 2: more left. That's that's who they are. I mean, this
Speaker 2: is the place that elects Tim Walls. And if Tim
Speaker 2: Walls hadn't been basically thrown to the side by videos
Speaker 2: by Nick Shirley and reporting by City Journal and others,
Speaker 2: well then he'd be running.
Speaker 3: But he knew it was gonna be too much because
Speaker 3: you know, he knew about the fraud and didn't tell nobody.
Speaker 2: Wait, that's just me, that's my That's what I suspect.
Speaker 2: Innocent until proven guilty. So she wins, and Amy Klobachar
Speaker 2: is now the Democrats nominee to be governor.
Speaker 3: Amy Klobachar, you know who never found a staple. She
Speaker 3: didn't love. She's an odd bird.
Speaker 2: Something about her. I've always like, I think I've met
Speaker 2: her once. I forget where we were where, I some
Speaker 2: some caucus, maybe we were in Iowa, and I thought
Speaker 2: she was mostly lovely. You know, I met w Washerman Schultz.
Speaker 2: I thought she was mostly lovely. Her politics are sinning
Speaker 2: against nature, but her I thought she was lovely. Clobachar
Speaker 2: I always thought somewhere in her was the capacity to
Speaker 2: be normal, and she just never just never embraced that
Speaker 2: that idea. That's Minnesota. Then you had South Carolina. South
Speaker 2: Carolina was interesting. South Carolina was interesting because this was
Speaker 2: the special right, this was about replacing the late Senator
Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham. So you take a look at the data,
Speaker 2: and you take a look at the map, and the
Speaker 2: map is interesting. So you had Darlene Graham Nardonne, who's
Speaker 2: the sister. You had Ralph Norman. You have Russell Fry
Speaker 2: Russell Norman, I'm sorry, Ralph Norman, the Congressman. We know
Speaker 2: that Darlene, she was picked to replace Lindsey Graham to
Speaker 2: finish out his term. Right, so she's the Senator, But
Speaker 2: we also know that Lindsay Graham was on the ballot
Speaker 2: for re election. So they're having a special election to
Speaker 2: determine who will be on the ballot for the reelection
Speaker 2: for November. Right, The midterm. In this special election, Darlene
Speaker 2: Graham comes in first, but she only gets thirty two
Speaker 2: point seven percent of the vote. Ralph Norman comes in
Speaker 2: second with twenty four point six percent.
Speaker 3: Russell fry in third with nineteen point six percent.
Speaker 2: Top two vote getters Graham and Norman, they move on
Speaker 2: to a runoff on August twenty fifth to determine who
Speaker 2: will be on the ballot November three. That's that has
Speaker 2: not much time to run for office. They both at least.
Speaker 3: Can say that they have some name.
Speaker 4: I D.
Speaker 2: Graham as a congressman, I'm sorry, Norman as a congressman,
Speaker 2: Graham as Graham.
Speaker 3: You take a look.
Speaker 2: At the map and you see green, red, and kind
Speaker 2: of purple blue. The green was Ralph Norman, the red
Speaker 2: is Darlene Graham, and the blue is Russell Frye, and
Speaker 2: it segments out to where they're located. Ralph Norman wins
Speaker 2: the north, Russell Frye wins the east, and Darlene Graham
Speaker 2: wins the rest. So Columbia and Charleston go for Graham.
Speaker 2: Now the question before us is going to be what
Speaker 2: happens to Russell fry Voters sixty five seven and fourteen
Speaker 2: of them who absolutely could tip the scales in this election.
Speaker 2: What we know about them is that they definitely didn't
Speaker 2: vote for Darlen Graham.
Speaker 3: So does that mean that they are opposed to Darlene Graham?
Speaker 2: To see this, Ah, I'm not a South Carolina expert,
Speaker 2: and neither of you.
Speaker 3: This gets really interesting.
Speaker 2: A special election in two weeks, This to me is
Speaker 2: absolutely a bourbon and popcorn event. Just don't get yourself
Speaker 2: too wrapped up in it. Just watch it and see
Speaker 2: what happens. This is really interesting. I mean, the circumstance
Speaker 2: is odd. A senator dies, a sister is filling the term,
Speaker 2: the sisters running to replace him on the ballot, and
Speaker 2: does not get the overwhelming support, and there is a
Speaker 2: spoiler section of the state at play. Honestly, I'm just
Speaker 2: that's my own kind of curios I'm very interested in
Speaker 2: what happens here. But the story, kids, the story is Wisconsin.
Speaker 2: The Wisconsin primary is the most surreal thing in the world.
Speaker 2: We're talking about the Democrats here. We already knew that
Speaker 2: Tom Tiffany was going to be the Republican and he
Speaker 2: will go up against David Crowley, And you're like, excuse me, Tony, Tony, Tony,
Speaker 2: mister Katz, sir you with the hair and the great stuff.
Speaker 3: Excuse me.
Speaker 2: That's supposed to be Francesca Hung, right, the crazed socialist,
Speaker 2: the one who wants to cancel Thanksgiving. She's supposed to
Speaker 2: be the winner here. Everybody knows that. The poll said, so,
Speaker 2: that's right. The poll said, so you bet your sweet
Speaker 2: but bippi, the poll said so.
Speaker 3: Check out these numbers. This was the polling.
Speaker 2: This is from RealClearPolitics, realclearpolling dot com.
Speaker 3: These were the numbers.
Speaker 2: If you take a look at the last five polls
Speaker 2: now where it says current results, that's the win for Crowley.
Speaker 2: The last five has Francesca Hung, this commy weirdo freak
Speaker 2: show up by double digits plus eleven plus thirteen plus
Speaker 2: twenty plus twenty two plus eighteen.
Speaker 5: Plus twenty two. Holy crop. That should be a blowout.
Speaker 5: That should be remarkable. She should have walked away with
Speaker 5: this with everything in her Nope. David Crowley gets three
Speaker 5: hundred and fifteen two hundred and thirty five votes. Francesca
Speaker 5: Hung gets three hundred and eleven four hundred and seventy
Speaker 5: five votes, thirty nine point eight one percent versus thirty
Speaker 5: nine point thirty three percent.
Speaker 3: He wins by half a percent.
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to ask you a very
Speaker 2: specific question. The question goes as follows, How in the world,
Speaker 2: How in the world am I supposed to in any
Speaker 2: way trust polling? If they can say someone is leading
Speaker 2: by twenty two points and then they lose by half a.
Speaker 3: Point, how do I do that? Can someone work me
Speaker 3: through that? As I light my cigar?
Speaker 2: Here, how do you lead by twenty two points and
Speaker 2: then lose by half a point? I put forth to
Speaker 2: you that that's impossible. That can't happen. Something has to
Speaker 2: be wrong. Now you say to me, Tony, it's possible
Speaker 2: for posters to make a mistake.
Speaker 3: I wholeheartedly agree.
Speaker 2: It is not an exact science, and it is possible
Speaker 2: for polsters to make a mistake. One thousand percent true,
Speaker 2: ten thousand percent true. Can I take a look for
Speaker 2: a moment at the race between abdul elsa Ed and
Speaker 2: what's her name? Oh, the one who sounds like Marge Simpson. Oh,
Speaker 2: you know her, you know her. You know who I'm
Speaker 2: talking about. Everybody knows who I'm talking about. She's a
Speaker 2: Oh that's right.
Speaker 3: It's her.
Speaker 6: A little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy,
Speaker 6: and a little bit.
Speaker 3: Of sicket to them.
Speaker 2: Haley Stevens, Haley, steph I forgot Stevens, but we're never
Speaker 2: gonna forget this.
Speaker 6: A little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy,
Speaker 6: and a little bit of sicket to them.
Speaker 2: Good lord, that's so good. If I take a look
Speaker 2: at the polling from that race, you know what I get.
Speaker 2: I get Abdullah al saiaed up by double digits. That's
Speaker 2: what I get. I get Elsai ed up by double digits.
Speaker 2: He was up, if my math is correct, thirteen and
Speaker 2: a half points in the overall. He won by a percent.
Speaker 2: He won by one percent. He was up by thirteen
Speaker 2: point five. Now I have Francesca Hong up twenty two
Speaker 2: points in some polls. If I average it all together,
Speaker 2: could we at least say she's up fifteen double digits,
Speaker 2: clear double digits, fifteen points.
Speaker 3: Look at the dang numbers.
Speaker 2: She loses by half a point. How do you miss
Speaker 2: that greatly? This is my question, What the hell is
Speaker 2: going on? I don't believe it is possible to miss
Speaker 2: this greatly. I've been trying to figure out where the
Speaker 2: issue is. There could be an issue in methodology, for sure,
Speaker 2: there could be an issue in methodology.
Speaker 3: But now there's an issue in Michigan, and now there's
Speaker 3: an issue in Wisconsin. Huh okay, all same polling outfits,
Speaker 3: they could have the same methodology methodology issue.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it could be that the pollsters. It could be
Speaker 2: that the pollsters they yeah, they're asking the wrong questions
Speaker 2: because they don't quite understand.
Speaker 3: What this new voter is like.
Speaker 2: They don't understand this party, they don't understand how they
Speaker 2: act and interact. Could be that they're asking the wrong
Speaker 2: people methodology, wrong questions, ask to the wrong people. It's
Speaker 2: all possible. Or all of these outfits are putting their
Speaker 2: thumb on the scale to try and create a certain advantage.
Speaker 2: Now that one is the most conspiratorial. That's a hard
Speaker 2: one for me to buy into. Although everything is possible,
Speaker 2: hard one for me to buy into. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: it couldn't happen. I'm just saying it's a hard one
Speaker 2: for me to buy into. Seriously, that's I'm not I'm
Speaker 2: not I'm not there for that. What I can tell
Speaker 2: you you guys, is, as we go forward into the midterms.
Speaker 2: I will not believe a single pole out of Michigan
Speaker 2: or Wisconsin, not a one. Won't believe it for a second,
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. They could talk to me.
Speaker 3: About how well Abdul say Ed is doing.
Speaker 2: In Michigan and I will say, I'm sorry. They had
Speaker 2: him up by thirteen and a half points and he
Speaker 2: won by a percent. Nope, not buying it. Not buying it.
Speaker 3: And I don't think you should buy it either.
Speaker 2: Well, Tony, doesn't this fit into your theory that you
Speaker 2: should never believe any pole. My theory for years is
Speaker 2: never believed just one pole. Never look at one pole
Speaker 2: and say, well that's fact. It's not fact. It's a
Speaker 2: snapshot in time that doesn't tell any story outside of it.
Speaker 2: It has zero bearing on reality, the fact of politicos
Speaker 2: and people desperate to fill colum inches will talk about
Speaker 2: it at nauseum on cable news and other places. Well,
Speaker 2: that's because they have nothing else to say. They have
Speaker 2: nothing in their minds. They are empty vessels. But that's
Speaker 2: enough about Jim Acosta. Never believe just one poll. What
Speaker 2: these poles have shown me is that I can't trust anything.
Speaker 2: Some people want to argue that what happened in in
Speaker 2: Wisconsin was actually a snowjob. What happened there is that
Speaker 2: they knew that Francesca Hang was going to get ripped apart,
Speaker 2: so the Democratic Party did some finagling and some flubbing
Speaker 2: to make sure that she lost. Great conspiracy theory, Democrats
Speaker 2: going after Democrats to keep Democrats from getting the person
Speaker 2: they voted for. I mean, that's how we got Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris as a nominee.
Speaker 3: We've seen this before. The story here isn't even who won,
Speaker 3: you know, So I'm.
Speaker 2: Not talking about David Crowley and Wisconsin at all in
Speaker 2: that race against Tom Tiffany. I'm talking about what they
Speaker 2: told us. None of it makes sense and none of
Speaker 2: it lines up. And that's the whole story, and we
Speaker 2: got to find out why. That's my plan.
Speaker 3: Keep it here.
Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz and this is Tony Katz Today. There
Speaker 2: was a question the.
Speaker 3: Other day of where the heck has Mark Rubio been?
Speaker 2: And the answer is Mark Rubio is doing a podcast.
Speaker 2: Then he's not hosting a podcast. He was on Katie
Speaker 2: Miller's show, Tony Katz, Tony Katz Today, Good to be
Speaker 2: with you. Katie Miller is the lovely person. She was
Speaker 2: doing work in the first Trump administration. I got to
Speaker 2: talk to her then and at an event at the
Speaker 2: White House. She was beyond lovely. She is the wife
Speaker 2: of Stephen Miller. I think they were just dating at
Speaker 2: the time. Absolutely lovely person.
Speaker 3: When I learned that.
Speaker 2: Katie Miller had dated Eric Swallwell back in the day,
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't even know how to process that.
Speaker 2: And I learned that the other day, I was like,
Speaker 2: my gosh, who knew. So he does this this podcast
Speaker 2: and because of connection, she gets access to everybody. One
Speaker 2: of the people she gets access to is the Secretary
Speaker 2: of State, Marco Rubio and his wife.
Speaker 3: And this is the.
Speaker 2: Conversation I did. Hold on a second, let me make
Speaker 2: sure that you get the conversation.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 7: I did at one time, maybe four or five years ago,
Speaker 7: I tried this thing called keto. You've heard of it, yes,
Speaker 7: And you just eat all this protein and so you
Speaker 7: go through this massive withdrawal from sugar and carbohydrates for
Speaker 7: the first seventy two hours. It was a near psychotic event.
Speaker 3: This. I did this in this job. I would mean
Speaker 3: the mister president, we must.
Speaker 7: Bomb you know, you know Paraguay, and it's like why,
Speaker 7: I don't know, I'm just really mad.
Speaker 3: At having it.
Speaker 2: Okay, he's sitting next to his wife having this conversation
Speaker 2: about Keto.
Speaker 3: You might look at that and say whatever, I don't care.
Speaker 2: Every time there is another photo of Marco Rubio sitting
Speaker 2: there in the ovo, and it gets AI manipulated to
Speaker 2: put him into some kind of costume or some kind
Speaker 2: of thing like, Oh, he's gonna have to go run
Speaker 2: this country today. Oh, he's gonna have to take on
Speaker 2: that job today.
Speaker 3: Everything like this.
Speaker 2: Builds him as a presidential candidate you can connect with
Speaker 2: in ways that jd Vance does not come close to.
Speaker 3: Now. You might disagree on that, you may want Jadvance
Speaker 3: or Marco Rubio we get.
Speaker 2: A degree or disagree about that, but when it comes
Speaker 2: to the presentation, the likability, the connection.
Speaker 3: He's off with charts. This is Tony Katz today.
Speaker 2: I despise a flock camera as much as anybody.
Speaker 3: The flock cameras are a problem.
Speaker 2: And even if they're not flock and they belong to
Speaker 2: another company, all of.
Speaker 3: This is a problem. Tony Katz.
Speaker 2: Tony Katz today, so good to be with you, guys,
Speaker 2: Live streaming YouTube Rumble.
Speaker 3: Come check it out.
Speaker 2: Look for Tony Kats Today and on Twitter x Tony Kats, Facebook,
Speaker 2: Tonycats Radio.
Speaker 3: What's happening is that cities are.
Speaker 2: Saying we need to protect the people dun du dum,
Speaker 2: and so they get these cameras from a company called
Speaker 2: flock Flock. And what these cameras do is you can
Speaker 2: go to flocksafety dot com and learn about them.
Speaker 3: I own no part of this, and I would say
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 2: To my financial people who I know are listening, if
Speaker 2: I am anywhere in a fund that is even close
Speaker 2: to owning anything owned.
Speaker 3: By flock, get me out of it right now. I am.
Speaker 2: I don't care, don't care, don't care, don't care. Not
Speaker 2: supporting this nonsense. The Flock cameras connect communities, businesses, and
Speaker 2: public safety so incidents can be understood clearly in decisions
Speaker 2: can be made on acts. Flock cameras surveil your every
Speaker 2: movement in a city so the police can monitor you. Now,
Speaker 2: police will disagree with my assessment. I can appreciate that
Speaker 2: they may disagree. It doesn't change the fact that I'm right,
Speaker 2: and I will debate this with any police officer anywhere,
Speaker 2: any sheriff anywhere, any law enforcement anywhere, any elected official anywhere.
Speaker 2: This is about surveillance of the people, and government has
Speaker 2: no right to do that. The argument will come back
Speaker 2: that Tony, you know you are not guaranteed privacy in
Speaker 2: public spaces. I accept this. I absolutely agree with you. You
Speaker 2: are ten bajillion percent correct. When you are in a
Speaker 2: public space, when you're walking down the street, you don't
Speaker 2: have any expectation of privacy.
Speaker 3: I agree. I don't have privacy from the public.
Speaker 2: That is not an invitation for the government to track
Speaker 2: my whereabouts, track my car, track where I drive to,
Speaker 2: track where I walk into, track, where I walk out
Speaker 2: of track, who I talk to. You want to track me,
Speaker 2: you get a warrants kitten. I am not interested in
Speaker 2: what you're trying to get done. I'm interested in my
Speaker 2: ability to move about my city, my community, my town,
Speaker 2: my neighborhood, my state, my country free of government surveillance.
Speaker 2: So it can be said clearly, I don't care if
Speaker 2: your job is made easier by the flock camera. Your
Speaker 2: problem is yours. You chose to be in law enforcement.
Speaker 2: It's not easy. I respect it. I don't respect it
Speaker 2: enough to give up my rights for it, though absolutely not.
Speaker 3: I won't give up a single right to make your
Speaker 3: job easier.
Speaker 2: I could right now without any hesitation, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 2: I could end all crime in America after six pm
Speaker 2: Monday through Sunday.
Speaker 3: I could end it.
Speaker 2: By telling Americans they're not allowed to leave their house
Speaker 2: after six pm Monday through Sunday, six pm to six am.
Speaker 2: That's the curfew. You have to be inside your home.
Speaker 2: You're not even allowed to utilize.
Speaker 3: The land of your home. You just got to be inside.
Speaker 3: And I can end crime after six pm. I could
Speaker 3: end it. Easies can be to the irrational thought.
Speaker 2: Though irrational thought, the idea that you could be ordered
Speaker 2: inside your home.
Speaker 3: Police are out of their minds. And we have seen
Speaker 3: some videos like this wasn't it Minnesota where.
Speaker 2: Police and they were well armed. We're going down the
Speaker 2: street where they was this about COVID stuff. They're looking
Speaker 2: for stuff and people are on their porch and they're
Speaker 2: screaming get in your house, and people like I don't
Speaker 2: think at my house. They shot bean bags at citizens.
Speaker 2: You think Derek Shalvin should be in jail. Throw all
Speaker 2: those guys in jail. Oh, zero respect for any of
Speaker 2: that government has no right to surveil me, none, zero.
Speaker 2: The flock camera is about surveillance, and there's another one
Speaker 2: is alone along a lon I think it is. It's
Speaker 2: all the same stuff. They have no rights to surveil
Speaker 2: you whatsoever. And you're hearing more and more about this,
Speaker 2: and people are more and more disgusted by it. The
Speaker 2: problem is some of them are taking things into their
Speaker 2: own hands and they're doing things like cutting down the cameras.
Speaker 2: This happened, This has happened a couple places, most recently
Speaker 2: at Ball State University, which is in Munsey, Indiana. You
Speaker 2: had Ball State University police officers notified that a flock
Speaker 2: camera had been cut down. They found the camera lying
Speaker 2: on the ground, the solar panels shattered, power cables cut,
Speaker 2: and then they found the video of a white Chevy
Speaker 2: pulling up to the flock camera. Two men dressed in
Speaker 2: black exiting the truck, walked up to the flock cameras
Speaker 2: with a reciprocating saw and cut down the camera's mounting pole.
Speaker 2: You can't do that. You can't do that. You can't
Speaker 2: get me to sit here and say I understand it.
Speaker 2: I can't be the guy who says oh, vandalism, that's
Speaker 2: the way. What you're supposed to do is vote everybody out.
Speaker 2: What you're supposed to do is not give them a
Speaker 2: moment's worth of rest. What you're supposed to do is
Speaker 2: every time they are in the public street, you're supposed
Speaker 2: to videotape them and post it. Make them feel the
Speaker 2: heat in all the ways that are legal rational. Now,
Speaker 2: I must admit I've never been a guy who likes
Speaker 2: the idea of the tracker. Do you know the trackers?
Speaker 2: They follow candidates everywhere, They follow politicos everywhere.
Speaker 3: This is their job. It's disturbing and it's ugly and.
Speaker 2: It's it's gross. But if the city and the state
Speaker 2: are saying we have the right to availue, well you're
Speaker 2: the elected official. You ever notice that the elected official things,
Speaker 2: They can do anything. But if you want to discuss
Speaker 2: things at the elected official in the public setting, well.
Speaker 3: You have to use a certain set of decorum.
Speaker 2: You're not allowed to raise your voice, You're not allowed
Speaker 2: to say this, You're not allowed to do that. They've
Speaker 2: got rules of plenty. It's like the TSA. When the
Speaker 2: TSA you're heading to the airport, you're there at the airport,
Speaker 2: and the TSA has signs if you're rude, if you're abusive,
Speaker 2: if you're this, if you're that, well, then you're gonna
Speaker 2: get arrested. And the TSA is screaming at you about
Speaker 2: whether your laptops in and your laptops out, and you
Speaker 2: app this, you have to do that. No one's ever
Speaker 2: being polite or respectful, decent or kind, but they're letting
Speaker 2: you know right off the bat that you are just
Speaker 2: lucky to be there, and anytime they feel you're getting
Speaker 2: just to weep it up and you're going to jail.
Speaker 2: You're certainly missing your flight, and they're gonna wear five
Speaker 2: blue gloves at once, but you are going to get
Speaker 2: yourself in cavity search and not the fun kind.
Speaker 3: There are fun kinds. I leave that for others.
Speaker 2: This is a gross way for things to act, for
Speaker 2: people to act with things to be. You can't engage
Speaker 2: in the vandalism. You can't get me to condone that stuff.
Speaker 2: But if these cities don't understand that the flock cameras
Speaker 2: are wrong, the whole concept is wrong, and people will
Speaker 2: send me an email, they'll still send me a message.
Speaker 2: We were able to find the person who attacked my wife.
Speaker 2: We're able to find this person. We were able to
Speaker 2: find these people who are in the country illegally, not
Speaker 2: at my expense, Not at my expense, port those who
Speaker 2: are in the country illegally. Look at the prosecutors that
Speaker 2: don't prosecute criminals and allow them on the street and
Speaker 2: vote them out of office or charge them. The people
Speaker 2: have to make aggressive demands, and I think they should
Speaker 2: make them loudly. I think there should be protests in
Speaker 2: the street. I think they should be protesting front of
Speaker 2: the city hall. I don't think these elected officials should
Speaker 2: get rest from the protests. Take down all the flock cameras.
Speaker 2: The elected officials are wrong, and someone's going to say
Speaker 2: to me, Tony, if you don't take an action, how
Speaker 2: will they know that they're wrong, Because in that conversation
Speaker 2: you're four steps away from being Luigi MANGIONI don't ask
Speaker 2: me to be a part of that. Don't ask me
Speaker 2: to be a part of that. But for these elected officials,
Speaker 2: including my own mayor, who I like, by the way,
Speaker 2: defending flock.
Speaker 3: Cameras, you're out of your head. I don't elect people
Speaker 3: who defend flock cameras. You're gonna have to go. This
Speaker 3: thing is not okay.
Speaker 2: I don't care if the police like it.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if they like it. It's inconsequential.
Speaker 2: And oddly enough, this is not the most maddening thing
Speaker 2: I came across yesterday that I wanted to bring to
Speaker 2: you today. The most maddening thing was this headline. It's
Speaker 2: an actual headline over at Newsmax about the Air Force
Speaker 2: Secretary of the former Air Force secretary who lost their
Speaker 2: security clearance lost the security clearance because they leaked information
Speaker 2: about Air Force one, which is a whole story that's
Speaker 2: still going on. The former Air Force Secretary of Frank
Speaker 2: now says he's going to sue the Trump administration after
Speaker 2: the Pentagon revoked his security clearance, saying that he learned
Speaker 2: about it and through a decision on social media, and
Speaker 2: he's saying, I couldn't think of anything I'd ever said
Speaker 2: that was classified, and I have tried very hard not
Speaker 2: to say anything classified and was quite sure I had not.
Speaker 3: Allow me.
Speaker 2: You are not owed to security clearance. I don't care
Speaker 2: how you served, I thank you for the service. You
Speaker 2: are not owned a security clearance. If the White House
Speaker 2: decides to pull it. If the Pentagon decides to pull it,
Speaker 2: that's the ballgame.
Speaker 3: That's it. What are you going to sue for?
Speaker 2: You demand access to security clearance when you are not
Speaker 2: in the position.
Speaker 3: When asked about the plans, when asked.
Speaker 2: About whether or not you are a target of criticism,
Speaker 2: he said, I'm gonna sue them.
Speaker 3: That's what's next for me. That's that's insane right.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know much about Kendall's history. I don't I
Speaker 2: don't recall him during the Biden administration. Nothing comes to.
Speaker 3: Mind for me.
Speaker 2: Other people could be like, oh, I know his history
Speaker 2: and boom. Maybe true. But the overarching is, who said
Speaker 2: you're entitled to anything?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 2: Why do they act like they're entitled. That's the connective
Speaker 2: between these two stories. I we're entitled to keep an
Speaker 2: eye on things for safety. You're entitled to classified information
Speaker 2: for your career. No, you're not not at all. Joe
Speaker 2: Biden shouldn't have access to classified information either, By the way, Sorry,
Speaker 2: I know we usually do that for former presidents, and
Speaker 2: sometimes you need them based on conversations they had had
Speaker 2: and you're still engaged in further investigations and negotiations et cetera.
Speaker 2: But Joe Biden can't be trusted. So the answers, no,
Speaker 2: he's not aware of where he is. So the answers no.
Speaker 3: Like you have a right to the classified info. It's
Speaker 3: a best of luck in the lawsuit. And any judge
Speaker 3: who says, do you have a right to classified information?
Speaker 2: Well, here I go, oh, I definitely deserve classified information.
Speaker 2: No one deserves classified information more than me, because that
Speaker 2: I mean, it's basically the same argument that this guy's
Speaker 2: making that the Warmer secretary is making. People are nutty.
Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today. So Josh
Speaker 2: Kushner and Bob Iger are going to purchase the Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Lakers. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, My oh my,
Speaker 2: oh my, twelve billion dollars.
Speaker 4: That is.
Speaker 3: Something else.
Speaker 2: They had been working on the idea of getting a
Speaker 2: team in Las Vegas because now that gambling is so prolific,
Speaker 2: everyone's like, yeah, you can have a team in Vegas.
Speaker 3: It's fine.
Speaker 2: And so you've got the Raiders in Vegas, got the
Speaker 2: A's movement in Vegas. Might as well have some basketball
Speaker 2: as well. You've got UFC in Vegas. Vegas is going
Speaker 2: to make its play to look at Miami and say,
Speaker 2: watch how we work. Pretty impressive number, by the way,
Speaker 2: what this is here? And they do a lot of
Speaker 2: other stuff in other places in terms of ownership. But
Speaker 2: the big sports story right now is that there's something
Speaker 2: called the Patriot Games and it's about youth in sports
Speaker 2: and it was in Ohio and Pat McAfee was invited
Speaker 2: to it and President Trump was there, and so McAfee
Speaker 2: actually met President Trump on the tarmac while it's raining
Speaker 2: and McAfee is wearing a T shirt and a hat backwards,
Speaker 2: and there they are at the games together. They're sitting
Speaker 2: next to each other, and producer land And is like,
Speaker 2: you know, people are his whole feed is filled with
Speaker 2: people who are angry at Pat McAfee.
Speaker 3: What's wrong with everybody? Why would you be angry at
Speaker 3: Pat McAfee.
Speaker 2: He got invited to be the thing. The president got
Speaker 2: invited to be at the thing. It's about kids in sports,
Speaker 2: and so they're sitting there. What a weird, nutty thing
Speaker 2: to be upset with. He didn't do anything wrong. There
Speaker 2: are times you can argue that you don't like something
Speaker 2: he says. There are times you can argue that he's
Speaker 2: gotten out over his skis. I think he would tell
Speaker 2: you that. I don't know the man personally. I've never
Speaker 2: met him. We're both in India. I've never met the guy.
Speaker 2: It's quite all right, by the way, but he's sitting
Speaker 2: next to the president and I'm supposed to be How
Speaker 2: dare you these people really think that Pat MacFee should
Speaker 2: have just turned around and punched the president in the face.
Speaker 2: That's their argument. It is a weird argument to be
Speaker 2: that filled with hate. If I'm invited to an event
Speaker 2: for a name that for cigars, and Barack Obama is
Speaker 2: there and they seat me next to them.
Speaker 3: Sitting next to Barack Obama.
Speaker 2: I don't think we're gonna talk about anything politics, but
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk cigars.
Speaker 3: I would talk cigars with Barack Obama right now.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's much of a cigar guy. But
Speaker 2: be angry at Pat mcabee is just it's just silly.
Speaker 2: And you're right, Chatroom, you are right. The Trump's arrangement
Speaker 2: syndrome is out of control. It has become religion, well cults.
Speaker 3: Really.
Speaker 1: This is Tony Katz Today live from Vaal Hartbiner and
Speaker 1: the crossroads of America. It's Tony Katz today.
Speaker 2: It's a press conference from the newly minted Attorney General,
Speaker 2: Todd blanche.
Speaker 3: He is there with some of his people.
Speaker 9: Me.
Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz. The show is Tony Katz today. Good
Speaker 2: to be here, Good to be with you. Let's take
Speaker 2: it to the Attorney general.
Speaker 10: We are announcing the arrests and unseiling of an indictment
Speaker 10: out of the Southern District of New York charging eleven
Speaker 10: individuals for allegedly overseeing an extensive, decade long marriage fraud
Speaker 10: scheme involving more than one thousand sham marriages between Chinese
Speaker 10: nationals and United States citizens.
Speaker 2: And holy crap, guys, was not expecting this sham marriages?
Speaker 3: Did he say a thousand? Hold on a second, I'm
Speaker 3: going to back that up a little bit. Did he
Speaker 3: say a thousand.
Speaker 10: Marriage fraud scheme involving more than one thousand sham marriages
Speaker 10: between Chinese nationals and United States citizens and then the
Speaker 10: submission of fraudulent applications for green cards. This is one
Speaker 10: of the largest marriage frauds prosecutions in the United States history.
Speaker 10: This scheme was not a quick fly by night operation,
Speaker 10: but rather a years long, multimillion dollar cottage industry to
Speaker 10: criminally assist people who would not or legally could not
Speaker 10: otherwise become citizens of the United States.
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm willing to bet you any amount of
Speaker 2: money that you and I are actually having the same
Speaker 2: conversation in our heads, and that conversation is well. Of
Speaker 2: course people were doing this. We knew people were. Of course,
Speaker 2: people get married to get somebody a Green card. We
Speaker 2: one thousand percent knew this was happening. You have had
Speaker 2: this conversation over Thanksgiving dinner, you had it with your uncle,
Speaker 2: You've had it at work, you've had it with friends
Speaker 2: over beer. Absolutely, you knew this was happening. Yet somehow
Speaker 2: when you hear it, you still say, what the hell?
Speaker 2: Because we think of it as a one off. We
Speaker 2: think of it as somebody doing something illicted over there.
Speaker 2: We think of it as Ilhanomh and her brother, which
Speaker 2: I believe happened organized.
Speaker 3: That's the part that really blows us away.
Speaker 10: The men and women who facilitated this scheme were all
Speaker 10: naturalized citizens originally from China, and one Green card holder.
Speaker 10: Under President Trump's leadership, the Department of Justice is working
Speaker 10: alongside our partners at DHS to secure the border and
Speaker 10: protect American communities.
Speaker 3: Let's go back over that, because that's the line.
Speaker 2: Let's make sure everybody heard it exactly the way the
Speaker 2: Attorney General Todd Blanche said it.
Speaker 3: United States.
Speaker 10: The men and women who facilitated this scheme were all
Speaker 10: naturalized citizens originally from China, and one Green card holder.
Speaker 10: Under President Trump's leadership, the Department of Justice is working
Speaker 10: alongside our partners at DHS to secure the border and
Speaker 10: protect American communities.
Speaker 2: The only answer I'm going to accept from Todd Blanche
Speaker 2: is to denaturalize those people and deport those people. And
Speaker 2: then I want to find China twenty billion dollars do
Speaker 2: me a favorite producer land. Will you look up what
Speaker 2: our debt is to China right now? Yeah, look, look
Speaker 2: look that up. China must pay the price for doing this.
Speaker 2: Tell me more about how a birthright citizenship isn't an issue.
Speaker 2: Tell me more that this is. Oh, you're just you're
Speaker 2: just being a racist towards Chinese nationals, Kitten.
Speaker 3: When I see Chinese nationals grown.
Speaker 2: Men, single men, able bodied men trying to get into
Speaker 2: the United States, if you admit them into the United States,
Speaker 2: you are for cocta crazy. You are out of your
Speaker 2: mind nuts. You're deranged. You know I'm saying you and
Speaker 2: I apologize. They're deranged. They're deranged, and they can't be
Speaker 2: allowed power. By the way, the number is six hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty three point nine billion dollars. That's what we
Speaker 2: owe China. Did I say twenty billion? I'm sorry, I'm
Speaker 2: meant two hundred billion, thirty percent off the top, that's
Speaker 2: what it costs you. It's paid. No, no, no, no, don't
Speaker 2: care if you like it or you don't like it. It
Speaker 2: means absolutely nothing China. You want to fight about it,
Speaker 2: I say, we fight about it. Of course, you don't
Speaker 2: think that this constitute it's invasion, honey, pooky boo boo
Speaker 2: kitten shmoo. Chinese nationals cannot be allowed to be US citizens.
Speaker 3: Nope.
Speaker 2: Now you say to me, Tony, that's a You might
Speaker 2: be going a little bit overboard right there. We have
Speaker 2: to be able to prove hardships, real hardships, because there
Speaker 2: are plenty of Hong Kongers who got absolutely abused, abused.
Speaker 3: By the Chinese government.
Speaker 2: Remember when they were fighting for their freedom and we
Speaker 2: just let China put their boot on.
Speaker 3: Their neck, and everybody in the NBA said.
Speaker 2: Hey, when's our next game in China? Love that money, right, Lebron.
Speaker 2: Of course it's an invasion. Of course it's an attack.
Speaker 2: Of course it's a threat, and we should deal with
Speaker 2: it accordingly. Back to the Attorney General Todd Blanche, with
Speaker 2: this announcement an arrest of a ring to coordinate and
Speaker 2: facilitate sham marriages, people could become citizens, involving naturalized citizens
Speaker 2: from China, over one thousand sham marriages. And I'd like
Speaker 2: to know of those one thousand sham marriages, plus how
Speaker 2: many of them applied for some kind of welfare or
Speaker 2: other benefit from the United States.
Speaker 10: Something that was ignored during the last administration. Not only
Speaker 10: are we protecting our physical borders from unlawful crossings, but
Speaker 10: we are also preventing immigration fraud schemes that are just
Speaker 10: another way to skirt the immigration laws of the United States.
Speaker 10: As alleged, some of the charge defendants acted as facilitators
Speaker 10: who orchestrated the marriage fraud scheme, pairing foreign nationals seeking
Speaker 10: immigration status with United States citizens willing to participate and
Speaker 10: engage in a sham marriage. These facilitators employed attorneys tax
Speaker 10: preparers and marriage officiants. Some of the other charge defendants
Speaker 10: acted as recruiters by finding and recruiting United States citizens
Speaker 10: to participate in the scheme, and other defendants acted as officiants,
Speaker 10: officiating dozens of these alleged fake marriages.
Speaker 3: Now, the way that this scheme allegedly.
Speaker 10: Worked is the facilitators used social media and other forms
Speaker 10: of advertising to market fraudulent immigration services to foreign nationals,
Speaker 10: primarily from China, and Chinese nationals would pay these facilitators
Speaker 10: as much as one hundred thousand dollars for assistance in
Speaker 10: obtaining a marriage, which then allowed them to apply for
Speaker 10: a green card. The facilitators also paid willing US citizens
Speaker 10: as much as thirty thousand dollars to engage in the
Speaker 10: sham marriage with the foreign national. Now, often after these
Speaker 10: phony ceremonies, defendants would stage images of families at restaurants
Speaker 10: to create the appearance of a legitimate wedding, and some
Speaker 10: of the defendants also facilitated sham marriages overseas in China.
Speaker 10: After the marriages took place, the actual ceremony that then
Speaker 10: married couples would visit a local office affiliated with the
Speaker 10: scheme sign forms for submission to the US Citizen and
Speaker 10: Immigration Services, learn about the USCIS interview process to apply
Speaker 10: for a green card, and then execute prenuptial agreements, which,
Speaker 10: not surprisingly given the allegation these were sham marriages, waived
Speaker 10: their rights to share in the others a state upon death,
Speaker 10: child support and other.
Speaker 3: Claims and marital property.
Speaker 2: At this moment, I people ask me why I drink bourbon.
Speaker 3: This is ugly. This is ugly. I this I was
Speaker 3: a expect him.
Speaker 2: He wasn't actually on the system today to give any presser.
Speaker 2: So this was a bit of a surprise. Over one
Speaker 2: thousand sham marriages busted. The purpose to allow Chinese nationals
Speaker 2: to become citizens. Money paid over in cases one hundred
Speaker 2: thousand dollars, and Americans who are implicated may have gotten
Speaker 2: paid thirty thousand dollars. All those people have to go
Speaker 2: to jail who are Americans, and all those naturalized citizens
Speaker 2: have to be denaturalized and deported today in any lower
Speaker 2: court that wants to get involved, those activist judges need
Speaker 2: to be thrown off the bench.
Speaker 3: Innocent until proven guilty.
Speaker 2: Sure, absolutely, when they're proven guilty, goodbye. And with all
Speaker 2: of this, Stephanie White, Coach of the Indiana Fever. Her
Speaker 2: presser is even crazier. I've got that story coming up.
Speaker 2: Keep it here.
Speaker 3: This is Tony Katz today.
Speaker 2: Stephanie White is the coach of the Indiana Fever and
Speaker 2: she made a statement before the game that the Fever
Speaker 2: played against the New York Liberty. That did not help her,
Speaker 2: did not help the Indiana Fever, did not help the WNBA.
Speaker 2: If anything, it made her look weak, It made the
Speaker 2: team look weak, and it made the WNBA look like
Speaker 2: they don't.
Speaker 3: Quite understand what the issue is.
Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today and for the Jamel Hills
Speaker 2: and everybody else who wants to say that we don't
Speaker 2: have the right to talk about this and we're just
Speaker 2: obsessing over this because of race. The WNBA has a
Speaker 2: choice to make. The WNBA can decide that they are
Speaker 2: in the business of being a league, or the WNBA
Speaker 2: can decide that they are in the business of being
Speaker 2: a welfare recipient. For years, the WNBA was a welfare recipient.
Speaker 2: The NBA wanted to create a league for women. The
Speaker 2: league never made any money, the league never got any traction,
Speaker 2: and yet it's still got funded. Now living in Indiana
Speaker 2: might be different our team than other teams because this
Speaker 2: is a basketball state.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: The expression here is in forty nine other states, it's
Speaker 2: just basketball, but this is Indiana. They take it at
Speaker 2: a level I cannot describe to you.
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. Right.
Speaker 2: It's in the same way this state views the month
Speaker 2: of May because that's when the Indianapols five hundred happens. Now,
Speaker 2: every state has something that connects for the people who
Speaker 2: live there. It is a thing for them. Basketball for sure,
Speaker 2: for sure. And so we did pay attention to the
Speaker 2: Indiana fever and we had great Tamika Catchings was a
Speaker 2: great ambassador for the league and was a star of
Speaker 2: her time.
Speaker 3: And then Caitlyn Clark came to town.
Speaker 2: Well the rest is history, as you know, and more
Speaker 2: people paid attention, and that upsets some people because this
Speaker 2: girl was getting attention and these weren't getting attention. And
Speaker 2: this was big a tree, and that's when the crazy
Speaker 2: fouls would start. Some things I think Caitlyn Clark complained
Speaker 2: about that weren't worth complaining about, and some things she
Speaker 2: was absolutely right and everybody saw it. But with Caitlyn
Speaker 2: Clark came the opportunity to become a league that could
Speaker 2: be self sufficient.
Speaker 3: They went from commercial.
Speaker 2: Flights to charter flights, private, better hotels, They started to
Speaker 2: play in real arenas, they moved games, and people were like, well,
Speaker 2: if you're gonna put on a show, we want to
Speaker 2: see it.
Speaker 3: If it's gonna be entertaining, we want to see it.
Speaker 3: My daughters now want.
Speaker 2: To go absolutely, I'm taking them fantastic. And the w
Speaker 2: NBA has on every level shown that they were not
Speaker 2: up to the moment because it's not that they could
Speaker 2: control the criticism criticisms from without. It has nothing to
Speaker 2: do with the criticisms from without. They could not handle
Speaker 2: the criticisms from within the players, the coaches and the media.
Speaker 3: That clearly didn't want this for their little league. And
Speaker 3: so there's been a.
Speaker 2: Lot of talk and with the Sophie Cunningham conversations about
Speaker 2: how girls sports would be for girls, they don't like
Speaker 2: that either. And now going after Sophie Cunningham and the clothesline.
Speaker 3: Tackle if you will from.
Speaker 11: Uh De Johnny uh dejohn De Janna is a Dijana
Speaker 11: jen a djon a thank you Dja Carrington and people
Speaker 11: have been talking about this more.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: This became a thing because it was a clothesline. By
Speaker 2: the way, Sophie Cunningham has done this before. She's tackled
Speaker 2: people on court before she got thrown out of the game.
Speaker 2: Carrington got thrown out of the game, and then she immediately.
Speaker 3: Put White privilege.
Speaker 2: Good lord, she's trying to backtrack that a lot of criticism.
Speaker 2: That brings us to the coach of the Indiana Fever,
Speaker 2: Stephanie White, who, when first asked about the foul against
Speaker 2: her player Sophie Cunningham, was like, listen, these girls are
Speaker 2: going to play hard. And now she comes to have
Speaker 2: a presser where she is going after the detractors and
Speaker 2: claiming she never saw the play.
Speaker 12: You know, this isn't necessarily for those people that are
Speaker 12: in this room. This is more for an online community
Speaker 12: that's trying to create narratives that simply don't exist, create
Speaker 12: a fabrication or disortion of who I am.
Speaker 3: What I'm about our.
Speaker 12: Players, success, our players, health and wellness, our players safety
Speaker 12: is always a top priority for me.
Speaker 3: One of the things I pride myself on is my
Speaker 3: relationships with players.
Speaker 12: For those who have anything to say about the play
Speaker 12: in the last game, I didn't see the play in
Speaker 12: real time I went straight to a press conference. I
Speaker 12: thought the play got called right, thankfully Sophie's Okay. Was
Speaker 12: it egregious?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 12: When you have a chance to watch that over and
Speaker 12: over and over on replay, you can see that I
Speaker 12: didn't have that in real time.
Speaker 2: I take personally.
Speaker 4: Any suggestions that I don't one hundred always have my
Speaker 4: players bad.
Speaker 3: I ride with them ten toes down all the time,
Speaker 3: all of the time.
Speaker 12: They know that it's a shame that we can't have
Speaker 12: an opportunity to talk about what great basketball they're playing
Speaker 12: because they are being playing.
Speaker 4: The reality is with me, I will always lead with love,
Speaker 4: I will always lead with grace, I will always lead
Speaker 4: with humility, and I will always lead with integrity.
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean I'll always get it right. I'm also human.
Speaker 12: The hate, the fear mongering, the divisiveness, the stuff that's
Speaker 12: trying to hijack our league will not win.
Speaker 3: It won't win.
Speaker 12: We are united, we are connected, We will not be divided.
Speaker 9: Every day.
Speaker 4: These women put their ass on the line every day.
Speaker 3: When they go low, we go high. Love go win.
Speaker 12: Grace will win, Humility will win, and kindness will win.
Speaker 3: I stand by them. I will always stand by them.
Speaker 3: Everybody else.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, I'm going to start where I start. That
Speaker 2: was poorly done, That was poorly advised. She embarrassed herself,
Speaker 2: She embarrassed a fever organization. She embarrassed the WNBA. If
Speaker 2: you allow your emotions to control you, there is nothing
Speaker 2: else that can happen. Now, it's possible that men see
Speaker 2: this differently than women looking at my chat room.
Speaker 3: No, we all see it the same way.
Speaker 2: But I want to break down a couple of things
Speaker 2: she said, just to show how disconnected it is from reality.
Speaker 2: The online community has an issue. You mean the fan
Speaker 2: You mean the people who want to show up and
Speaker 2: want to pay you. They want to give you their money.
Speaker 2: And you're making it more and more difficult because you
Speaker 2: won't admit that they targeted Caitlin Clark, and you won't
Speaker 2: admit that there's a real racism within the WNBA.
Speaker 3: And you won't say the W stands for women.
Speaker 2: If you did not see the foul in real time,
Speaker 2: Coach White, why did you comment on it?
Speaker 3: I think that's a very legitimate criticism.
Speaker 2: Why'd you comment on it? Why not say I didn't
Speaker 2: see it. I need to go back and watch it.
Speaker 2: You defended Carrington. You defended DJNA. Shouldn't have.
Speaker 3: You should have admitted to that.
Speaker 2: You're going to lead with love, grace, humility, and integrity
Speaker 2: and hate. Fear mongering and divisiveness will not win. Tell
Speaker 2: that to the players in the WNBA, Tell that to
Speaker 2: the coaches in the WNBA.
Speaker 3: Tell that to the media in the WNBA.
Speaker 5: Not me.
Speaker 3: Win.
Speaker 2: Grace and kindness will win, and everybody else can go
Speaker 2: to hell. Well, if you wanted to take a big,
Speaker 2: giant crap on your own message, Coach White, bravo.
Speaker 3: You did no favors here for yourself, for your team,
Speaker 3: or the league.
Speaker 2: And I think there should be a conversation about whether
Speaker 2: or not you have the temperament to be a coach,
Speaker 2: because as a fan, you just told them to go
Speaker 2: to help.
Speaker 3: I'm Tony Katts.
Speaker 2: Three more things Tony Kats Tony Katz Today, Guys, thank
Speaker 2: you for being here. Really do appreciate it. Tony Kats
Speaker 2: Today is the name of the show. Find everything I
Speaker 2: do at Tony Katz dot com. I hope you'll head
Speaker 2: over there. I hope you will subscribe and be a
Speaker 2: part of what it is we're building. Can't thank you,
Speaker 2: guys enough for showing up today three more things. So
Speaker 2: these are stories that should be front page news, but
Speaker 2: because of everything on the front page doesn't make the pages.
Speaker 3: Of course, we still have a war going with Iran.
Speaker 2: I'll get to updates coming up in a little bit.
Speaker 3: And we just heard from.
Speaker 2: The Attorney General, that is Todd Blanche talking about charges
Speaker 2: that have come in a Chinese national marriage fraud screen.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to say this again, Chinese national marriage
Speaker 2: fraud scheme.
Speaker 3: That ain't easy.
Speaker 2: Over a thousand plus sham marriages that the Department of
Speaker 2: Justice has identified where people spent one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 2: to be able to get a green card here in
Speaker 2: the United States, involving mainly a Chinese nationals.
Speaker 3: This is massive.
Speaker 2: This has to change who we allow into the country.
Speaker 3: We have to start saying no.
Speaker 2: This plays in the conversation of what Senator Jim Banks
Speaker 2: discusses as invasion, as he wants to change the laws
Speaker 2: and better define what.
Speaker 3: It is to be an invader.
Speaker 2: Therefore to work within the Supreme Court decision on birthright citizenship.
Speaker 3: Everybody, when I talk about this, everyone says, Tony.
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court already rules if you're born in the
Speaker 2: United States or a United States citizen.
Speaker 3: Why don't you understand this?
Speaker 2: I understand what it is that Justice Kavanaugh said, the
Speaker 2: Fourteenth Amendment born in the United States and subjects of
Speaker 2: the jurisdiction thereof the Court, I think improperly ruled.
Speaker 3: Improperly ruled that to be born here is enough.
Speaker 2: But there was no conversation about whether or not Congress can,
Speaker 2: through legislation make the determination of who is an invader,
Speaker 2: because the Court was did not make any chans to
Speaker 2: what we already know to be factual that if someone
Speaker 2: is considered a threat invader, they cannot be a citizen.
Speaker 2: They do not fall into that category. Aren't regarding being
Speaker 2: born in the United States? You can change this. People
Speaker 2: don't like hearing the word invader. A thousand plus sham marriages.
Speaker 2: Is there anything else we have to discuss? Could we
Speaker 2: all just be rational for five minutes? It's all I ask.
Speaker 2: It's a simple request. Normal, normal, normal for five minutes.
Speaker 2: If we had normal in the United States for five minutes,
Speaker 2: people would actually not know what to do with themselves.
Speaker 3: They'd completely lose their minds.
Speaker 2: So while this is going on, and that all just
Speaker 2: got released today, Todd blanche I wasn't expecting the presser.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, he comes to the microphone and man,
Speaker 2: this for cable news outside of MS. Now, this is
Speaker 2: going to be the top story tonight. Oh, this is
Speaker 2: going to be This is a big one. But there
Speaker 2: are other stories, and I absolutely want to get to
Speaker 2: them because they are very, very big stories, but they
Speaker 2: just aren't going to make the front page. And we
Speaker 2: start with the Michigan The University of Michigan. Did I
Speaker 2: mention I am not a fan of blue? It's the
Speaker 2: radicalness of the politics. They can't be denied.
Speaker 3: Not a fan in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 2: The University of Michigan is going to eliminate traditional letter
Speaker 2: grades for first semester freshmen beginning in the fall of
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven. It's going to address what is described
Speaker 2: as a growing mental health crisis among college students. So
Speaker 2: what's going to happen is that students in the university's
Speaker 2: College of Literature, Science and the Arts will get pass or.
Speaker 3: No credit on transcripts.
Speaker 2: That college enroll about four thousand students every year. It
Speaker 2: will help the freshmen quote acclimate to the demands of
Speaker 2: college and allow intrinsic motivations to guide personally meaningful academic journeys.
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure what that means, but after reading it,
Speaker 2: I need a shower acclimate to the demands of college
Speaker 2: and allow intrinsic motivations to guide personally meaningful academic journeys. Now,
Speaker 2: the grades will not be on transcripts, they will not
Speaker 2: be utilized in calculating grade point averages, but professors will
Speaker 2: still give the grades and those will be used to
Speaker 2: determine scholarship eligibility other academic awards.
Speaker 3: So the issue here, as we.
Speaker 2: Understand it, is that kids get to college, they are
Speaker 2: not prepared for the riggers, and they collapse because it's
Speaker 2: the first time in their life they've ever been told no,
Speaker 2: we have a problem, and the problem has to be fixed.
Speaker 3: And we if we want to argue.
Speaker 2: That the problem is lower education, well that's absolutely correct.
Speaker 3: You see.
Speaker 2: I see the comments, Mike, I see your comment translation
Speaker 2: the kids are weak. I am not actually saying no.
Speaker 2: I'll agree with you there, but I like to take
Speaker 2: a different approach, in a different tact, which is the
Speaker 2: education system has failed to do its job, and that's
Speaker 2: why we need to break the Teachers' Union into and
Speaker 2: end public education as we know it. It does not
Speaker 2: create good students, It does not prepare students for the future.
Speaker 2: Now we can argue as well that this is also
Speaker 2: a cultural problem where parents have failed to provide for
Speaker 2: their children.
Speaker 3: Part of what that issue.
Speaker 2: Is is that we have parents, in large measure, in
Speaker 2: large swaths, who are trying to be friends with their children.
Speaker 2: Your child is not your friends. You love your child,
Speaker 2: not your friends. You are mom or you are dad.
Speaker 2: You are not the friend, and you are never going
Speaker 2: to be their friend. You can have a great relationship
Speaker 2: with your kid, you can hang with your kid. As
Speaker 2: you get older, you can have a different relationship with
Speaker 2: your kid, but in those formative years, in those growth years,
Speaker 2: you're not their friend. The role is that of parent.
Speaker 2: It's a different role, and it is thankless at times,
Speaker 2: and it is tough often it's absolutely rewarding. I have
Speaker 2: explained to my children more than once that I am
Speaker 2: not your friend. I am your father, and there is
Speaker 2: a difference. And I take it seriously and I love
Speaker 2: doing it.
Speaker 3: Love doing it. I didn't know I was gonna love
Speaker 3: doing it.
Speaker 2: But I do because I take the responsibility seriously. It's
Speaker 2: a pleasure to have this opportunity. Your friend will tell
Speaker 2: you everything will be okay. I'm your father. Sometimes this
Speaker 2: crap won't be okay, and you're gonna have to figure
Speaker 2: out how to handle that. You're gonna have to get
Speaker 2: your emotions in check and deal with it. You have
Speaker 2: to be stronger than the moment. That's part of the deal.
Speaker 2: That is the deal. The schools are failing the kids.
Speaker 2: The parents are failing the kids because we don't push
Speaker 2: for the strength. Which is why when Pete Hegsat the
Speaker 2: Secretary of Defense talks about lethality, talks about physical fitness,
Speaker 2: talks about the strength of mine one needs to be
Speaker 2: in the military, people are flocking to it because they
Speaker 2: want it. The standard is good, the standard is valuable,
Speaker 2: the standard is necessary, The standard is everything. We don't
Speaker 2: hold the kids to the standards that they are craving.
Speaker 2: We don't hold them to responsibility that they are craving.
Speaker 2: They want to prove that they are worthy because they
Speaker 2: are alive, because that is the human condition, and we
Speaker 2: don't give them the opportunity. It is parents and teachers
Speaker 2: and these unions and culture ripping it from them. And
Speaker 2: then they look for something, and then the state steps
Speaker 2: in and says, we've got this. You should be part
Speaker 2: of the revolution because look at all this system that
Speaker 2: fails you. You don't think that all connects, all connects.
Speaker 2: It's all right there, it's all played out right in
Speaker 2: front of you.
Speaker 3: All you have to do be willing to.
Speaker 2: Put those pieces together, and it will set a course.
Speaker 2: It will show you what we have done wrong, and
Speaker 2: it will show you a way to do it better.
Speaker 2: This we could talk about the kids being weak, and
Speaker 2: the kids being this, that and the other. It is
Speaker 2: the parents, It is the teachers, It is the teachers' unions.
Speaker 3: It is the culture.
Speaker 2: It is what we have allowed to happen, what we
Speaker 2: have put upon, forced upon, abused our kids.
Speaker 3: With, and it's what we have to undo.
Speaker 2: And when parents started undoing that, trying to undo that,
Speaker 2: seeing the insanity of COVID, seeing what was actually being taught,
Speaker 2: that Merrick Garland and that Attorney General under Joe Biden,
Speaker 2: who actually maybe never was president, was a cabal, designated
Speaker 2: those parents as what domestic terrorists to keep them, to
Speaker 2: try and stifle them and keep them from being the
Speaker 2: people who could make the changes.
Speaker 3: You have to break the teachers union too. You have
Speaker 3: to break these people in half.
Speaker 2: One of the other stories, headline stories, is that Samuel
Speaker 2: Alito has stated that he is sticking around. President Trump
Speaker 2: thrilled that Alito has said he's going to remain for
Speaker 2: another term. He's not going to retire. Now, I wonder
Speaker 2: if that means that Justice Alito sees that the opportunity
Speaker 2: for the Republicans to be victorious in the midterms is real,
Speaker 2: because if the Senate is controlled by Democrats, President Trump's
Speaker 2: gonna have a hard time replacing anybody on the Court
Speaker 2: if Todd Blanche cannot get a single Democrat to vote
Speaker 2: for him, when Todd Blanche is of no issue, zero issue, if.
Speaker 3: You can vote for Merrick Garland, you could vote for
Speaker 3: Todd blansh. I mean, it's just.
Speaker 2: Merck Garland was a far worse choice, a far more
Speaker 2: a political choice, a far more rabid choice than Todd Blanche.
Speaker 2: So I'm wondering if this is Aledo signaling something here,
Speaker 2: because President Trump said, great news for our country. Supreme
Speaker 2: Court Justice Samuel Alito has announced that he is staying
Speaker 2: on for another term. He is one of the greatest
Speaker 2: of all time. We are all lucky. We're definitely lucky,
Speaker 2: one thousand percent lucky that he's sticking around. You're lucky
Speaker 2: that you haven't had your information taken from the net
Speaker 2: yet and utilized against you.
Speaker 3: But man, it's happening.
Speaker 2: These data brokers, it's multi billion dollar industry, and they
Speaker 2: get all your information, not just your home address, not
Speaker 2: just your email address, but your medical conditions. They've got
Speaker 2: voting records, they've got your kids' names, and people are
Speaker 2: able to buy that file and use it against you.
Speaker 2: They do the phishing text, they do the scam calls, everything.
Speaker 2: Americans lost twenty billion dollars to fraud just last year,
Speaker 2: maybe more. Those scammers are not lucky. They're prepared. You
Speaker 2: need to get prepared. You do that with incognity I
Speaker 2: ncog n I in cogni dot com, slash cats use

Speaker 3: It's a recall from Chrysler.
Speaker 2: Fifty thousand vehicles are being recalled Tony Katz. Tony Katz today.
Speaker 2: This over seat belts. This is the twenty twenty three
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty five Dodge Hornet, the twenty twenty three
Speaker 2: and through twenty twenty six Alfa Romeo Tanal tn Ali
Speaker 2: is a pronounced Tonal. By the way, this happens to
Speaker 2: me a lot with pronunciations. It's not that I don't
Speaker 2: know how to speak. It's that I read and I'm
Speaker 2: not watching videos and clips and everything else. And what
Speaker 2: happens is I sometimes mispronounce because I haven't heard it
Speaker 2: said before.
Speaker 3: I do feel bad about it.
Speaker 2: I have to now put it upon myself to to
Speaker 2: make sure I check, double check, and recheck. So sometimes
Speaker 2: I mispronounced and I apologize for that not trying to.
Speaker 2: So the recall is about a seat belt defect that
Speaker 2: could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Approximately
Speaker 2: one point six percent of the vehicles have the defect.
Speaker 2: The rear outboard seat belts may become twisted and failed
Speaker 2: to retract properly.
Speaker 3: So therefore it's not gonna hold you in.
Speaker 2: If there's an accent that breaks, get hit hard and whoop,
Speaker 2: you go flying.
Speaker 3: So there's the recall there.
Speaker 2: I have a larger question for Chrysler and Stillantis, which
Speaker 2: is how are they doing as a company. There were
Speaker 2: some years there, COVID years, et cetera, where they weren't
Speaker 2: building a vehicle that was working, weren't building a vehicle
Speaker 2: that was connecting, and they were just the quality had
Speaker 2: gone down. Then they got rid of the CEO. The
Speaker 2: CEO is actually like, well the problem isn't me, The
Speaker 2: problem is with you at the dealerships, and the dealers.
Speaker 3: Were like, are you out of your skull? And then
Speaker 3: the next thing you know, the CEO was gone. And
Speaker 3: so I think there is this rebuild at play. But
Speaker 3: I've not really heard anything about them.
Speaker 2: I hear about moves from GM, really interesting move for
Speaker 2: their supply chains, four and a half billion dollars moves
Speaker 2: from Ford as they're betting again on electric vehicles, but
Speaker 2: at thirty thousand dollars price point, I don't.
Speaker 3: Hear about Storantis. I don't hear about Chrysler. This is
Speaker 3: Tony Katz.
Speaker 1: Today Live from Dall, Hartland and the Crossroads of America.
Speaker 1: It's Tony Katz Today. The update with the RN is
Speaker 1: that we're still a war.
Speaker 3: Of some kinds.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's really all there is to say, Tony Katz.
Speaker 2: Tony Katz today. Good to be here, Good to be
Speaker 2: with you. President Trump. He doesn't seem concerned, doesn't seem worried,
Speaker 2: doesn't seem to have a care in the world about it,
Speaker 2: and still wants to push the idea that, of course
Speaker 2: we control the Strait of Hormuz, and prices are dropping fast.
Speaker 3: The country is doing well.
Speaker 8: The sock mark is fantastic record. We have seventy nine
Speaker 8: records so far in a short period of time.
Speaker 3: Four people are working.
Speaker 8: Right now in the United States and ever before, and
Speaker 8: prices are dropping fast. Iran is going fine, going just
Speaker 8: absolutely fine. We totally control the Strait of Hormos. We
Speaker 8: have control over it, nobody else, only US. Our navy
Speaker 8: is unbelievable, and things are going great for our country.
Speaker 2: I don't know how I'm supposed to respond to that, Sir.
Speaker 2: I don't know how so to respond. When we're still
Speaker 2: over eighty dollars a barrel on oil and it went
Speaker 2: up down a little bit from yesterday. I like that,
Speaker 2: but still above the seventy five number, which I'm supposed
Speaker 2: to believe is some kind of really important number to cost.
Speaker 2: And then you have the Wall Street Journal story about
Speaker 2: Iran and the survival economy.
Speaker 3: This goes to something we discussed yesterday.
Speaker 2: I believe in total honesty, and I believe in approaching
Speaker 2: everything with that, regardless of who gets upset. I believe
Speaker 2: that everything with Iran is winnable. You just have to
Speaker 2: be willing to do it. The conversation with Leland Viddert
Speaker 2: of News Nation yesterday, it was about whether or not
Speaker 2: there's the will, and his argument was Iran has the
Speaker 2: will and we don't. I don't believe that part to
Speaker 2: be true. I understand that that's what it looks like
Speaker 2: right now, but I've spent a lot of time thinking
Speaker 2: about that and going over that conversation. Am I to
Speaker 2: believe that President Trump doesn't have the will to end
Speaker 2: the Islamic regime. I believe that it is not his
Speaker 2: first choice. His first choice is to get the win.
Speaker 2: We've talked about this a million times, a million times
Speaker 2: that for Trump, the first rule of trumpsm is Trump wins.
Speaker 2: The second rule of trump Ism is that a deal
Speaker 2: can always be made as long as it adheres to
Speaker 2: the first rule of trump Ism. That is true, and
Speaker 2: he can declare victory anytime, and he could say, Okay,
Speaker 2: they're not having a nuclear weapon and control of the
Speaker 2: Strait is done.
Speaker 3: We want, We're done. He could do that anytime he wants.
Speaker 2: He always leaves himself that opportunity, always, always, always, always,
Speaker 2: always leaves himself that opportunity. But the question before us
Speaker 2: is if he doesn't get those things with clarity, then
Speaker 2: he's got a legacy issue. This was my argument that
Speaker 2: if you have the Iranians enriching uranium at all, one
Speaker 2: centrifuge spins legacy shattered. That's reality. That's the harsh reality.
Speaker 2: And certainly that had to be known going into all
Speaker 2: of this. And I'll say it again, I support ending
Speaker 2: the regime. I support ending these terrorists so we don't
Speaker 2: have to put up with these terrorists anymore. I absolutely
Speaker 2: support ending them. The President was okay with the idea
Speaker 2: of behavior change. I think this was a mistake, an
Speaker 2: incredible mistake on his part. You had to know that
Speaker 2: you're going to do the thing, you have to do
Speaker 2: the thing in totality.
Speaker 3: But there was this story as I.
Speaker 2: Was talking about from the Wall Street Journal about the
Speaker 2: survival economy, and I said, this falls into the conversation
Speaker 2: we had yesterday. And I am not somebody who buys
Speaker 2: into this. Iran is defying US pressure by becoming a
Speaker 2: survival economy. Who in Iran is becoming the survival economy?
Speaker 3: That's the question before US.
Speaker 2: Tehran's leaders focus on subsistence in bid to outlass sanctions
Speaker 2: in a naval blockade. So the people aren't in on this,
Speaker 2: The people aren't down for this. The IRGC is saying
Speaker 2: that we're okay living on rice and water. We are
Speaker 2: absolutely going to outlast because you can't handle high gas prices.
Speaker 3: That's now, so we have the argument here.
Speaker 2: We have what it is, and we can keep this
Speaker 2: is Iran speaking of the Ranium regime. We can keep
Speaker 2: throwing bombs and drones at US bases, and we can
Speaker 2: kill a soldier here and kill a soldier there, and
Speaker 2: you guys can't take it. Well, this would tell me
Speaker 2: certainly that you don't stop the bombings. And certainly, as
Speaker 2: we've discussed, a deal has to be made with the
Speaker 2: other nations in the Gulf, and they're gonna have to
Speaker 2: be the ones who go in, or you're gonna have
Speaker 2: to arm the Kurds. There are a lot of options.
Speaker 2: The question is will they be taken? But the idea
Speaker 2: that Iran is this defiant power. The problem with this story,
Speaker 2: it's the same story with the people who utilize the
Speaker 2: term for forever wars. It doesn't mean anything. That's what
Speaker 2: they're doing today after what we already did to them.
Speaker 2: What if what we did to them we keep doing
Speaker 2: to them. Exactly how long does their survival economy last?
Speaker 3: How long does it last? And the answer is can't
Speaker 3: be very long.
Speaker 2: They this is an admission of their issues, rationing scarce goods,
Speaker 2: limiting access to foreign currency, slashing investment, putting the burden
Speaker 2: onto households, preserving imports, trying to keep safe machinery of
Speaker 2: the state, rising poverty, get dysfunction. But it allows them
Speaker 2: to stall the talks with the United States. I would
Speaker 2: look at that as opportunity, and I would look at
Speaker 2: that and say, this means that there's an opportunity for
Speaker 2: further and further unrest amongst the Iranian people to happen,
Speaker 2: to allow them to further and further rise up against
Speaker 2: the regime. Now, the regime are a bunch of murderers.
Speaker 2: They've murdered sixty seventy thousand people. To be clear, they
Speaker 2: the Iranian regime, have murdered more of their citizens than
Speaker 2: Hamas fighting terrorist lowlifes were killed by the Israelis. Yet
Speaker 2: somehow Israel is the group guilty of genocide. Stop it
Speaker 2: right there. We could just end that whole conversation, as
Speaker 2: that conversation has well been ended. It's said, it's noise,
Speaker 2: it's pablem said in a regurgitated Pavlovian response by nonsense merchants.
Speaker 2: Of course everybody knows this, and of course everybody knows
Speaker 2: that Hamas is a terrorist organization that started this fight,
Speaker 2: and that the quote unquot Palestinian people in the main
Speaker 2: supported Hamas and didn't do anything to help free those hostages.
Speaker 2: Hostages held and people knew where they were and no
Speaker 2: one did a thing.
Speaker 3: They were fine with it. They were good with it.
Speaker 2: Let's not think that we're dealing with the poor downtrodden
Speaker 2: people there. These are people abused by Hamas. These are
Speaker 2: people who abused the Israelis, these Jews and Americans and others,
Speaker 2: by the way, and they.
Speaker 3: Were thrilled to do it.
Speaker 2: No one wants to discuss this reality, but it is
Speaker 2: indeed a reality.
Speaker 3: It is the.
Speaker 2: Factual situation on the ground. Iran has murdered more people.
Speaker 2: No one calls them genocidal. It seems pretty genocidal to
Speaker 2: anybody who has a brain and who is thinking. If
Speaker 2: you want the people to rise up, you have to
Speaker 2: give them the skills set by which to rise up,
Speaker 2: which means you have to arm them one way or another.
Speaker 3: Now, how do you arm the people?
Speaker 2: Well, this is the conversation about the Kurds, and how
Speaker 2: do you arm the Kurds, which is this ethnic group
Speaker 2: that comes from the region. There's a tremendous, tremendous population,
Speaker 2: and you can do that and they will do the work.
Speaker 2: They've stated through reporting that they will do the work.
Speaker 2: And if they will do the work, why aren't we
Speaker 2: doing it. Well, one of the reasons we're not doing
Speaker 2: it is because this was a plan from the Israelis,
Speaker 2: and it was jd Vance who got wind of it
Speaker 2: and said now let's not do this. Hey, let's leak this,
Speaker 2: let's not get this out there, let's not do this thing.
Speaker 2: And that was the end of that. A mistake in
Speaker 2: my view, a massive mistake in my view. Now, one
Speaker 2: could have argued that, hey, maybe this plan isn't the
Speaker 2: best plan. That's at least a conversation amongst military experts,
Speaker 2: people in the know. People have an idea. Okay, if
Speaker 2: you do this, here's the reaction to this, and here's
Speaker 2: how this group is going to respond, here's how this
Speaker 2: other group is going to do things right.
Speaker 3: You could have all of that.
Speaker 2: But to say, hey, let me leak this so nothing
Speaker 2: happens whatsoever and eliminate the possibility. I think that's an
Speaker 2: absolutely massive mistake, a serious, serious error. But it goes
Speaker 2: along with jd Vance's view of this, and Jade Vance's
Speaker 2: view of this is not a good view. You either
Speaker 2: end the regime or we stay in this place. President
Speaker 2: Trump seems okay to stay in this place where the
Speaker 2: blockade is there. You keep saying that the strait is
Speaker 2: in our control, but nothing shows that it's in our control,
Speaker 2: and you weight them out the siege mentality I don't
Speaker 2: think you have a siege mentality without continued bombings. I
Speaker 2: think that's a big mistake. I think you have to
Speaker 2: make things uncomfortable for the IRGC, and the way you
Speaker 2: make things uncomfortable for the IRGC is they have to die.
Speaker 2: There's ways to do that. You could do it from
Speaker 2: the air, but I think you're going to need people.
Speaker 2: You're going to need people on the ground. I want
Speaker 2: to hear more from the President about the pressure put
Speaker 2: on these Gulf nations. And you'll note you still haven't
Speaker 2: seen any movement from the Israelis. Absolutely nothing still on
Speaker 2: the Sidelast. The only thing you've heard from the Israelis
Speaker 2: recently is that they looked at the deal regarding Hamas
Speaker 2: surrender and they're like, Nah, that's not going to work.
Speaker 3: We're not pulling a.
Speaker 2: Single troop out of Gaza until every Hamas fighter has
Speaker 2: surrendered and we have every single weapon.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know how you're going to prove that.
Speaker 3: So there we are there.
Speaker 2: I mean, I like this idea of the border peace,
Speaker 2: although I think it's a terrible name, and I like
Speaker 2: the idea of other nations investing in Gaza, therefore having
Speaker 2: some skin in the game.
Speaker 3: I like all of that.
Speaker 2: The whole rethink of the Middle East, I like, But
Speaker 2: that rethink is coming from the president, and it has
Speaker 2: had levels of success. Why isn't that rethink coming from
Speaker 2: the other Middle East nations saying if a Ram's gone,
Speaker 2: our life is easy, If this regime is gone, our
Speaker 2: life was better.
Speaker 3: What are we doing? What are we waiting for?
Speaker 2: They've never been this week. Let's go to work, Tony,
Speaker 2: their week. But they're still able to do this, this, this, this,
Speaker 2: and this, Yes, and imagine what happens, and they could
Speaker 2: have a nuclear weapon. So I'm glad we took out
Speaker 2: those facilities. I am Tony. They were never close to
Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 3: It was all a lie.
Speaker 2: I don't believe any of that, Like I don't believe
Speaker 2: that the US was forced into this, manipulated by Israel.
Speaker 2: I don't believe in any of that either, Not for
Speaker 2: a second do I buy into any of that. The
Speaker 2: threat is the threat, and they've always shown themselves to
Speaker 2: be the threat, and they're still showing themselves to be
Speaker 2: the threat. So I don't know why anybody would think
Speaker 2: that somehow you had to be drawn into something when
Speaker 2: it was clear and obvious. But there's a reason that
Speaker 2: Israel right now is on the sidelines. There's a reason
Speaker 2: that being kept on the sidelines that much is crystal crystal,
Speaker 2: crystal clear. And I don't know why at this moment
Speaker 2: they aren't being unleashed to do more of what they
Speaker 2: can do, which is this precision attack, precision fighting, and
Speaker 2: maybe further crack the IRGC, which would create opportunities for us.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's coming. But the idea of Iran.
Speaker 2: Is able to wait us out because they are in
Speaker 2: a survival economy. That's now, when the water runs out,
Speaker 2: when the beans run out, when you know, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, there comes a moment where this becomes
Speaker 2: more and more untenable for the people, and they are
Speaker 2: something you have to contend with. Now, the world's going
Speaker 2: to watch these people get murdered by the Iranian regime. Well,
Speaker 2: so far they have, world's done absolutely nothing. How long
Speaker 2: does that last?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a high stakes game, no question, this
Speaker 2: is a serious high stakes game. If we're going to
Speaker 2: go the siege route, I don't have a choice. That's
Speaker 2: the update we go the siege route. Does Iran have
Speaker 2: the desire to wait us out? Absolutely? Right? Now do
Speaker 2: they have will absolutely do we? I would hope so.
Speaker 2: And do I think that President Trump has wholly given
Speaker 2: up on this? He actually don't. Maybe you can call
Speaker 2: it naive te, maybe you can call it hope. It's
Speaker 2: just I think he's trying different tactics in all the
Speaker 2: ways he tries different things, and if it's come to
Speaker 2: a place of weigh him out, he's going to try
Speaker 2: it to weigh him out, especially if he doesn't think
Speaker 2: it hurts.
Speaker 3: Him too bad.
Speaker 2: Just stop saying that the strait is open, we have control.
Speaker 2: If we had control, oil would be below eighty dollars
Speaker 2: a barrel. We don't yet, So get it or stop
Speaker 2: saying it's that is it at the very least would
Speaker 2: make us all happy because we're tired of hearing the
Speaker 2: nonsense about this.
Speaker 3: Keep it here.
Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz. Find everything at tonycats dot com. This
Speaker 2: is Tony Kats Today.
Speaker 13: We've got twelve and a half billion dollars a little
Speaker 13: less than a year ago, about ten months ago, and
Speaker 13: we have been working over time to deliver for the
Speaker 13: American people. So thus far we have changed out sixty
Speaker 13: percent of the copper to fiber. Once we get done
Speaker 13: switching over to fiber where they're gonna have to take
Speaker 13: our network from analog to digital. Don't laugh at us.
Speaker 13: Most companies have done this years ago. We are about
Speaker 13: to do that here at the FAA.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's embarrassing this modernization that's only happening now at
Speaker 2: our airport.
Speaker 3: But it's like the Cobbler's kids.
Speaker 2: You know, everybody has shoes, and the cobblers kids doesn't
Speaker 2: because the Cobbler's too busy making shoes for the other people.
Speaker 2: It's kind of that, it's kind of, you know, just
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of ignorance until now. Tony Katz. Tony
Speaker 2: Kats today a pleasure to be here, guys. Thanks for you,
Speaker 2: Thanks to you for being here. If I could talk,
Speaker 2: I'd be a great radio host. Is the Secretary of Transportation,
Speaker 2: Sean Duffy, saying, we're modernizing, We're getting things on track,
Speaker 2: We're working on getting things done. This is the press
Speaker 2: conference yesterday.
Speaker 13: We have installed ninety six surface awareness systems like the
Speaker 13: one we are going to deploy today here at Newark.
Speaker 13: We have deployed nine new radar systems, three hundred and
Speaker 13: sixty three analog radios that we use between air traffic
Speaker 13: controllers and our pilots and airplanes.
Speaker 3: That's going from analog to digital.
Speaker 13: Nineteen towers have been converted to electronic flight strips. We
Speaker 13: have one hundred and fifty one new voice switch systems
Speaker 13: across America.
Speaker 3: They are making moves.
Speaker 2: I'm thrilled to see it, and I'm I'm a fan
Speaker 2: of Sean Duffies. I think he has been outrageously impressive.
Speaker 2: You go back to his first day on the job,
Speaker 2: he gets sworn in, and then that evening you have
Speaker 2: the Regional American Airlines jet hitting the helicopter outside of
Speaker 2: DC on approach.
Speaker 3: Into Reagan National helicopter shouldn't have been.
Speaker 2: There, or a pilot error, as at least was reported,
Speaker 2: horrifying people dead, awful, awful.
Speaker 3: Terrible, And there he was less than a day.
Speaker 2: On the job doing this, and he has been on
Speaker 2: top of it and professional ever since.
Speaker 3: And it is not glamorous.
Speaker 2: It's not Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of
Speaker 2: the Treasury. It's not glamorous. It's just getting done day
Speaker 2: by day. This isn't Pete Buda Judge's Department of Transportation,
Speaker 2: where there's talk of choo choo trains and look at me.
Speaker 3: I'm riding my bike to work.
Speaker 2: After the suv drops me off two blocks from the office.
Speaker 3: That happened.
Speaker 2: You saw it, and I, oh, yeah, if you didn't
Speaker 2: know that, actually that actually was a thing that happened.
Speaker 2: No work's getting done, the systems are getting upgraded.
Speaker 3: This is good.
Speaker 2: This is I can't even believe I'm saying this regarding
Speaker 2: government but efficient. I'm thrilled by what I'm seeing, and
Speaker 2: I'm thrilled to have somebody who is focused on not
Speaker 2: pretending to breastfeed, but is focused on the job. These
Speaker 2: things matter, and they are indeed unglamorous, but they do
Speaker 2: require our time.
Speaker 3: You know. I am a believer that we should end
Speaker 3: the income tax. Oh.
Speaker 2: I wholeheartedly believe that the income tax is a sin.
Speaker 2: The idea that government has any connection to my labor,
Speaker 2: has any right to my labor, is nonsense. I also
Speaker 2: argue that no good has ever come from the income tax.
Speaker 2: I feel differently on a state level, although when it
Speaker 2: comes to income taxes, I'm always the same. But states
Speaker 2: can do things that I believe the federal government should
Speaker 2: not be allowed to do. We should absolutely rid of
Speaker 2: the income tax. That is different than whether or not
Speaker 2: I believe they can collect taxes. It's different than whether
Speaker 2: or not I believe that there is a price to
Speaker 2: pay for the liberty society and keeping these things going
Speaker 2: and flowing and working. Now we can argue that's not
Speaker 2: the role of government, that's actually the role of the
Speaker 2: airport itself. Well, we can discuss an idea of standards.
Speaker 2: We can discuss that we may not want big government,
Speaker 2: but we can at least agree an article on section eight.
Speaker 2: We can agree on some basic skills things. And if
Speaker 2: this is going to be one of the basic things
Speaker 2: we agree on, I don't mind it being funded.
Speaker 3: What I want is professionalism.
Speaker 2: I want to focus on making sure the dollar is
Speaker 2: not misspent or mismanaged, and I want results to that end.
Speaker 2: I like seeing this. Sean Duffy is getting results, and
Speaker 2: this is good.
Speaker 3: This is very, very very good. I want to see
Speaker 3: more of it.
Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent sure in what other capacity
Speaker 2: we're gonna see what Department of Transportation. There could be
Speaker 2: some things, but this is what we want to see
Speaker 2: across the board. If we're gonna spend our money, we
Speaker 2: want success. We want to see rational people, professional people
Speaker 2: doing a professional job and getting it done quickly and clear.
Speaker 3: It's good on Sean Duffy. This is Tony Katx today.
Speaker 2: So the numbers come in on the consumer price index,
Speaker 2: an inflation conversation, and they're up point one point one.
Speaker 2: Huh that ain't that ain't bad at all. The annual
Speaker 2: rates three point four, Well, that's not great, but it's
Speaker 2: not going up. And if inflation is not going up,
Speaker 2: it's gonna tell the Federal Reserve don't do any rate
Speaker 2: hikes because they want to because inflation is still too high.
Speaker 2: But the measure doesn't make any sense when you get
Speaker 2: rid of food and energy, volatile energy and it goes
Speaker 2: up to point two. I don't understand what's happening here,
Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be with you.
Speaker 2: Doctor Batt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis, is
Speaker 2: here to make it all make sense. This is peculiar, right,
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of conversation about that the Fed
Speaker 2: was going to raise rates in September. You have two
Speaker 2: Federal Reserve governors who wanted to do that because the
Speaker 2: inflation is still too high. Tariffs are causing that. Tarots
Speaker 2: did not create an explosion of inflation. It's just keeping
Speaker 2: it higher than we want it to be. But you
Speaker 2: also have this madness of oil prices because of what's
Speaker 2: going on in Iran that's having an effect. Yet somehow,
Speaker 2: if I take energy out, the measure of inflation goes up,
Speaker 2: and that doesn't make any sense at all. So let's
Speaker 2: start where we start, doctor Matt Will. What does this
Speaker 2: report say to you?
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, you got to remember that this
Speaker 9: is not the report that the FED is going to
Speaker 9: use to make decisions, but it does give Kevin Walsh
Speaker 9: Cover spoke of that just about that just a few
Speaker 9: days ago. Kevin now has more time. This is a
Speaker 9: good enough report that it's going to give him some
Speaker 9: breathing room again to not have to make a decision
Speaker 9: to increase rates to control inflation, because this isn't the
Speaker 9: measure that they use to make their decisions. But here's
Speaker 9: the good news. So the report point one for the months,
Speaker 9: it's now a trend. Last month it was down point
Speaker 9: four down. So we now have a two month decent
Speaker 9: trend in the CPI, which is what you and I
Speaker 9: pay when we go to the grocery store. Core you
Speaker 9: mentioned at point two point two. That's two point four annualized.
Speaker 9: That's still too high, but the rest of the report
Speaker 9: gives him cover. In fact, when you dig down into
Speaker 9: the details, almost every category is in good shape. The
Speaker 9: only two that are not are airline tickets, which are
Speaker 9: two point two percent for the month, and healthcare, which
Speaker 9: is point six. The healthcare is persistent. We continue to
Speaker 9: see an incre in healthcare inflation. That is the big
Speaker 9: red flag in this report. If there is one, the airlines,
Speaker 9: I'm not worried about. That's a blip because they have
Speaker 9: contracted inventory during the whole situation with Iran. They're going
Speaker 9: to expand their inventory once things stabilize. It's a good report.
Speaker 9: It's not a decision report. But the bottom line for
Speaker 9: me is it gives Kevin wash more time to make
Speaker 9: the right decisions. So he should be happy, and quite honestly,
Speaker 9: we should be happy because he'll probably end up doing
Speaker 9: the right thing on inflation.
Speaker 2: Now let me you said trend. Now, let me go
Speaker 2: through a couple numbers with you. If I take a
Speaker 2: look at all items from May, June and July, all
Speaker 2: items was point five negative point four and last month
Speaker 2: point one that we're discussing. If I take out food
Speaker 2: and energy, it goes point two zero point zero and
Speaker 2: then point two.
Speaker 3: What we just saw in the month of July. What
Speaker 3: the hell kind of trend does that?
Speaker 9: Well, okay, it's not a uniform trend, but they're all
Speaker 9: low when you take with you, when you look at
Speaker 9: the core, which you did, and those numbers you just listed,
Speaker 9: those are consistently low. Now I know I'm saying low.
Speaker 9: You and I don't agree. Two point four percent inflation
Speaker 9: is not low, but it's lower than it was, and
Speaker 9: it's low enough that it's going to allow him to
Speaker 9: not have to take inflation reactions quickly. And again, I've
Speaker 9: told you before and I'll say it again. I don't
Speaker 9: think the way you fight inflation right now is by
Speaker 9: increasing the Fed Funds rate. I think the Fed Funds
Speaker 9: rate is stable. It should stay stable. I like where
Speaker 9: it's at the way that he wants to fight it,
Speaker 9: and the way I also want to fight it is
Speaker 9: to begin to sell assets off the balance sheet.
Speaker 2: Talking to doctor Matt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis,
Speaker 2: we'll save that conversation for another day. Annual inflation rate
Speaker 2: at three point four percent, we look at this. The
Speaker 2: market looks at this and says, we don't care.
Speaker 9: Well, okay again, it's looking at it like I do.
Speaker 9: That three point four percent is a government number that's
Speaker 9: twelve months old. They're not looking twelve months old. The
Speaker 9: market is looking at this month and last month, and
Speaker 9: both of these months. If you look at the headline
Speaker 9: number negative point four and point one. The market likes it.
Speaker 9: So immediately when this report was released, four things happened.
Speaker 9: We saw that the Nasdaq went up. We saw that
Speaker 9: the Dow went up. We saw that interest rates went
Speaker 9: down in both the ten year and the two year,
Speaker 9: so we saw a decrease in rates. We saw an
Speaker 9: increase in the stock market. The market likes this report
Speaker 9: because they see the same thing I see. Kevin Walsh
Speaker 9: gets breathing room, and that's what they want him to have.
Speaker 2: All Right, you're going to drag me into this conversation
Speaker 2: because your argument, sir, is that the removing of things
Speaker 2: from the balance sheet is the golden goose. Once that
Speaker 2: starts happening, everybody does better. The tariffs won't matter, oil
Speaker 2: prices won't matter. Your pain in the ass brother in
Speaker 2: law won't matter. Nothing matters. If we take things off
Speaker 2: the balance sheet. First, describe what it means to take
Speaker 2: things off the balance sheet. What is Kevin Walsh, the
Speaker 2: new chair of the Federal Reserve, believes in. And then
Speaker 2: is it indeed the panacea we've all been hoping for?
Speaker 9: Well, I'm going to answer your first your second question. First,
Speaker 9: it's not the panacea, but it's one of the pieces.
Speaker 9: Tariffs are the other piece, and that is a big,
Speaker 9: big problem. And I will refer people to an article
Speaker 9: that you send me about, you know, mister wonderful Kevin
Speaker 9: m'leary talking about how bad the tariffs are and how
Speaker 9: the AI is covering up the damage done by those. So, no,
Speaker 9: it's not the panacea. But the way it works is
Speaker 9: very simple. The Fed and anybody should look this up.
Speaker 9: Just go to Google and look up FED balance sheet
Speaker 9: and look at the image. Look up images. You'll see
Speaker 9: this massive balance sheet that they have. They own all
Speaker 9: these assets, mortgages, treasury bills. They need to sell those.
Speaker 9: They've been buying them to juice the economy that was wrong.
Speaker 9: They need to sell them because here's what happens. They
Speaker 9: sell a bond because the government owns it. They sell
Speaker 9: a mortgage because the government owns it. As soon as
Speaker 9: they sell those they receive cash, and that cash is
Speaker 9: removed from the economy. That is the key. When they
Speaker 9: remove the cash from the economy, inflation goes down. They
Speaker 9: need to sell these assets. They need to take cash
Speaker 9: out of the economy. Kevin Walsh knows that's the way
Speaker 9: to do it. Not by increasing interest rates. That is
Speaker 9: not the right solution. Interest rates are now in a
Speaker 9: very good equilibrium location. Now they need to sell assets
Speaker 9: and pull that cash out of the economy. But there
Speaker 9: are other parts, like we mentioned, like tariffs, like federal
Speaker 9: government deficits.
Speaker 2: Talking to doctor Matt Well, economists at the University of Indianapolis.
Speaker 3: Let me throw a curve your way. Want to talk
Speaker 3: to you about the report.
Speaker 2: But in the world of AI as you know that
Speaker 2: what I had sent you regarding Kevin O'Leary is that
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Leary's point is that we're spending so much money
Speaker 2: investing in AI it is booying the economy. And if
Speaker 2: it wasn't for that, the tariffs would knock the snot
Speaker 2: out of this economy and break it in two. And
Speaker 2: I sent that to you and your response to me
Speaker 2: was where I was at. He clearly listens to our conversations.
Speaker 2: He's listening to the show every single day. We've been
Speaker 2: having this conversation for over a year now in different ways.
Speaker 2: But on the AI tip, Brad Lightcamp, who was the
Speaker 2: chief operating officer for open Ai, has left the company.
Speaker 2: He's going to start something new. The question before us
Speaker 2: is is this a sign of something bad that at
Speaker 2: one of the bigger AI groups that you're starting to
Speaker 2: see it's not just him.
Speaker 3: You're seeing people for the exits.
Speaker 9: Wait, wait, are they heading for the exits or are
Speaker 9: they heading for new opportunities? I mean, think about it.
Speaker 9: If you were a big shot in one of these companies,
Speaker 9: You've got your stock options, you've got your pay that
Speaker 9: you've made over the years. You cashed in. But wait,
Speaker 9: we're at the beginning of this boom, and I believe
Speaker 9: we're at the beginning of this boom. Wouldn't you go
Speaker 9: off and be you know, the next stew jobs the
Speaker 9: next and Bill Gates? Wouldn't you want to start your own?
Speaker 9: I really believe that these people know there's a golden
Speaker 9: goose out there and they're going to go get their own.
Speaker 3: When you say get their own that is to believe
Speaker 3: that is to believe that.
Speaker 2: There's more investment to come. We're already into the We're
Speaker 2: over a trillion dollars in the investments, and you're.
Speaker 3: Telling me that there's more to come. Now.
Speaker 2: I'm not a believer that the pie is finite, right,
Speaker 2: I'm not a player in that, But even I have
Speaker 2: to ask the question, exactly how much more investment can
Speaker 2: there possibly be?
Speaker 9: Okay, I don't have the number in front of me
Speaker 9: at my fingertips, but just go look at what Meta
Speaker 9: did last two weeks. They announced massive bond issues for
Speaker 9: the purposes of getting so much cash that could dump
Speaker 9: into data centers and AI development. Apple, which is way
Speaker 9: behind the curve on this. They aren't even in the
Speaker 9: game yet. Wait till they get into the AI game.
Speaker 9: Apple has a history. I'm not a fan of Apple's
Speaker 9: r indeed since Steve Jobs passed, But I got to
Speaker 9: tell you they's nothing to be sneezed at. This company
Speaker 9: knows what they're doing. This. People are going to look
Speaker 9: back and think, oh, you're kidding me. I should have
Speaker 9: gotten into the AI early. Yeah, yeah, it's not too
Speaker 9: late to get in on AI. This thing is just
Speaker 9: beginning to take off. I mean, I could give you
Speaker 9: this week of people entrepreneurs I've had conversations with who
Speaker 9: are saying, revolutionize their business across the World's.
Speaker 2: Great, it's revolutionizing their business across the world. And there
Speaker 2: are going to be plenty of places that there's pushback on,
Speaker 2: like you know what, we tried to say, I crap
Speaker 2: and it doesn't work.
Speaker 3: We tried to say I stuff.
Speaker 2: You know what, we actually need people again these things
Speaker 2: EBB and flow.
Speaker 3: My question was to.
Speaker 2: The idea of is there a moment where markets say
Speaker 2: that's too much investment, that you guys are spending in
Speaker 2: the wrong places. We need to self correct on all
Speaker 2: of this because you're all being ridiculous.
Speaker 9: You know what. The answer is, yes, but this is
Speaker 9: not that situation. This is not a bubble like two
Speaker 9: thousand and one, because these companies have earnings. These companies
Speaker 9: have profits. Another reason that we see CPI being moderated
Speaker 9: and not let's go back to the original topic and
Speaker 9: not the producer prices. Those things are still inflated is
Speaker 9: because the profits are so huge. These profits are justified.
Speaker 9: These prices are justified. When you see the ice of
Speaker 9: a stop going up. This is not you know, a
Speaker 9: one hundred times earnings with no earnings. Sometimes these are earnings,
Speaker 9: these are profits, and the prices are reasonable given the
Speaker 9: growth in these companies. There is no bubble here. There
Speaker 9: is will the market go down at some point, of course,
Speaker 9: but there is no bubble that we're looking at in
Speaker 9: the near future.
Speaker 2: Doctor Matt Well, economist at the University of Indianapolis. I
Speaker 2: appreciate you taking the time to be with us.
Speaker 3: Keep it right here.
Speaker 2: This is Tony Katz today. So those primary results, yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: the progressive wins in Minnesota in that center right for
Speaker 2: the Democrats. But it's not like Angie Craig wasn't also
Speaker 2: going to be a leftist. It's that Peggy Flanagan is
Speaker 2: a ridiculous leftist. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, these are
Speaker 2: the people who else who decided that Amy Klobachar should
Speaker 2: be the nominee for governor. I mean, she's going to
Speaker 2: get elected governor. It's it's unbelievable to witness. I've always argued, though,
Speaker 2: that Klobachar has something in her that has the capacity
Speaker 2: to be normal. I believe that she has it in her.
Speaker 2: The question is will she do it, and more often
Speaker 2: than not she chooses no. She'd rather just you know,
Speaker 2: throw a stapler at you or use it to eat
Speaker 2: a salad.
Speaker 3: She's an odd, odd bird.
Speaker 2: And then in Wisconsin, the big one, Francesca Hung loses
Speaker 2: the primary. She loses the primary when she was twenty
Speaker 2: two points ahead, twenty two points in some poles she
Speaker 2: was double digits ahead. And in the end she loses
Speaker 2: the primary to David Crowley.
Speaker 3: Whose name you never heard in Wisconsin. How does that happen?
Speaker 3: How did they get the polling so wrong?
Speaker 2: Listen, the socialist, which is to say, the communist doesn't care.
Speaker 2: They're moving forward. They're moving forward a pace because they've
Speaker 2: got a plan, they've got a strategy, they've got a philosophy.
Speaker 2: And this is Zaron Mamdani before he was mayor, when
Speaker 2: he was community organizer. Are just you know, lamean kami Islamist,
Speaker 2: a living example the Right Green Alliance, and this was
Speaker 2: his plan and strategy.
Speaker 14: I think that with the interesting thing about our communities
Speaker 14: here is I think that minority communities, because we have
Speaker 14: never had representation, we are tied much more to identity.
Speaker 14: White communities they've had representation forever, and so for them,
Speaker 14: their tie is a little less identity and a little
Speaker 14: more ideology. And so what I mean by that is,
Speaker 14: we have a lot of voters here who think of
Speaker 14: themselves first as progressive voters, and so we reach out
Speaker 14: to them speaking about our platform, our progressive platform. And
Speaker 14: you're very right that you need someone in the middle
Speaker 14: to be a validator, someone to tell them to trust us,
Speaker 14: believe in us. We've had that with Tiffany Kaban and
Speaker 14: Cynthia Nixon.
Speaker 2: So the plan is to use liberal white like Cynthia Nixon,
Speaker 2: or just liberal women in general, to get yourself into white.
Speaker 3: Communities to get them to vote for you. I will
Speaker 3: say liberal women.
Speaker 2: I've always said this, liberal white women most dangerous people
Speaker 2: in America because they'll allow anything. They will allow anything.
Speaker 2: But it's an interesting point about identity versus ideology. This
Speaker 2: is black people voting for black candidates, Muslims voting for
Speaker 2: Muslim candidates, so that we don't care about anything else,
Speaker 2: just muslim click check.
Speaker 3: No, no, no.
Speaker 2: We can't, we can't have this. They're the ones screaming racism.
Speaker 2: They're the ones screaming all sorts of xenophobic this and.
Speaker 3: Whiteness is the problem. Look at what they're doing. They're
Speaker 3: admitted to who they are and how they work and
Speaker 3: all the rest.
Speaker 2: We could get these people to vote as this block
Speaker 2: because the only thing that will matter is that we
Speaker 2: share this skin color or this identity, and we'll use
Speaker 2: seral white women to get white women to come for us,
Speaker 2: to come to our side, to vote for us. That's
Speaker 2: very telling. That's a plan, that's a strategy. Before you
Speaker 2: knew his name, he was working the game. He was
Speaker 2: working the strategy. Do we understand what it is that
Speaker 2: we're up against when we talk about these communists?
Speaker 3: How long it's been happening.
Speaker 2: This goes back to the Secretary of State's report on Cuba.
Speaker 2: This has been the effort and it's getting results. And
Speaker 2: they don't care if they lose some primary Wisconsin. They'll
Speaker 2: be back at it two years, and you better damn
Speaker 2: we'll be ready for it. Find everything at Tony Kotts
Speaker 2: dot com.
Speaker 3: I'll catch you tomorrow. Everybody, take care
