It's I wrote it in 20 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two and I will tell you what it 21 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 2: has never been more relevant. I'm actually going to break 22 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: I'm actually thinking about doing some clips with the book, 23 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: just to re up some of those ideas that I 24 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 2: had in that book. Because it's all everything that I 25 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: talk about in that book. It's all coming to fruition now. 26 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: How we all have got to get in the game. 27 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: Back then, I was saying we were at war and 28 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: we just didn't know it then. Back then, I thought 29 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: we were going to lose the war. No, I actually 30 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: think we could win. But we have a lot of 31 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: work to do, and there are some very concerning issues 32 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: developing here in our nation, as illuminated by what's going 33 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: on in Tennessee with their special election. I know you've 34 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: probably heard about the young lady there who's running. The 35 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 2: Socialists got mom Donnie, and New York Socialists and Somalians 36 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 2: in Minnesota. There's a lot going on here. I want 37 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: to talk about what this is setting up for us, 38 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: what it means, the good news and the bad news 39 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: of it, because there's actually both. I think there's more 40 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: bad news and good news, but there's actually good news there. 41 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 2: But it's Thanksgiving. 42 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 3: We can you. 43 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: I can't even believe it. I feel like I just 44 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: dropped my daughter off for her freshman year of college. 45 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 2: She's going to College of Charleston, and I feel like 46 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: we just dropped her off and got that whole rat 47 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: race done, and now it's time for the rat race 48 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: of Thanksgiving. I hardly, I cannot believe. And then I 49 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 2: haven't done a stitch of Christmas shopping. I don't know 50 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: if you've done any Christmas shopping. Oh my goodness, I'm 51 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: in bad shape this year. But it's like that every year. 52 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: I guess I should stop pretending like this is the 53 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: year when I'm going to be a completely different person. 54 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: But I am going to tell you guys that I'm 55 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: getting myself a new planner for the new year, and 56 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 2: then I will be a completely different person. It's going 57 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: to be a new planner, new possibilities. I am going 58 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: to be the perfect person in twenty six I just 59 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: know it. Anyway, speaking of buying gifts and getting ready 60 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: for Thanksgiving, I've got a flashpole up on X. It's 61 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: about to end, but if you go over there right now, 62 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: go to Kira Davis on X flash pole. I want 63 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 2: to know how you feel about your cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving? 64 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: Do you like it? Homemade. Do you like get shaped 65 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: like the can that it comes in, or maybe you 66 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: think that cranberry sauce is only for serial killers. Let 67 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: me know, go over there, take that flash pole. I've 68 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: got it up. It's only there for a few minutes longer. 69 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 2: Costs are coming down a little bit this Thanksgiving, and 70 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: the Trump administration is making sure that people know this 71 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: and the word of the day, the word of the holiday. Frankly, guys, 72 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: I think the word of the year moving into twenty 73 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 2: twenty six is going to be affordability, and I think 74 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: that is the right word for us to be focusing on. 75 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: But costs are coming down, not as much as we 76 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: would like. I want everybody to actually, what I'm going 77 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,239 Speaker 2: to do is going to play this clip from Fox 78 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 2: News just talking about the costs and just give you 79 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: some numbers here. They are coming down. But as I 80 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: play this clip for you, I want you to just 81 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 2: try to make a mental note, just put it in 82 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: the file cabinet in the back of your mind, right 83 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: because next Thanksgiving, when inevitably I'll be back on this 84 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 2: mic filling in for Tony Katz while he goes and 85 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: takes a well deserved break. I want us to take 86 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 2: note of what the price is our next Thanksgiving, because 87 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 2: the administration has been telling us this whole time. Look, yeah, 88 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: we are doing work. Costs are coming down, but the 89 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 2: real benefits are going to hit in twenty twenty six. 90 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: Cost cutting. You know when Americans are really going to 91 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: feel it noticeably is in twenty twenty six. Everybody's saying that, 92 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: who's a representative of Donald Trump? So make a mental 93 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 2: note of this now, so when you get to next Thanksgiving, 94 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 2: you can say to yourself, yeah, I really do feel 95 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: the difference, or there's not much of a difference. But 96 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: let's hear a Fox News had to say about this Thanksgivings. 97 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: Priceis saving dinner. 98 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 4: Got some good news, America, A little bit of good news, 99 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 4: all right. Average costs for ten people, Average costs now 100 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 4: for ten people two years ago with sixty one bucks. 101 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 4: This year, it's down to fifty five dollars per person now, 102 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 4: not for all of ten people, but for all the 103 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,799 Speaker 4: folks that you're having over here. Prices right now turkey 104 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 4: said to be lower, and that's really helping out right now. 105 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 4: Sixteen pound turkey, send me twenty one dollars and fifty 106 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 4: cents all right, yell, little pumpkin pie mixed for sixteen Sandra, 107 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 4: how much is a gallon of the whole milk? 108 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:57,559 Speaker 3: Okay? 109 00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: How much? 110 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: How much is a gallon of whole milk? 111 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 3: I'm going to say four because I'm cheating it. 112 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 2: I rounded up from what you saw. 113 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 4: It's like a presidential test, right, three dollars or seventy frands? 114 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 3: Boom, it can. 115 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 4: Be yours, Come on down here. I love Cranberry's Holeberry. 116 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 4: Cranberry is one of my favorites right now. Two dollars 117 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 4: and twenty. 118 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 2: Okay, so costs are coming down a little bit, and 119 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: we've been having this discussion about affordability. I'm sorry, my 120 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 2: mind is working as I'm talking because I kind of 121 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 2: want to connect this to another concept, which is the 122 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 2: concept of dressing up to travel. We've been talking about 123 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 2: this quite a bit. Secretary Duffy, He's launched this new 124 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: campaign let's class it up a little bit, and everybody's 125 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 2: talking about it. I've been doing it for a minute now. 126 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: Tony Katz always does it. He always dresses up to fly. 127 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 2: That shouldn't surprise you. He is mister Klass. Tony Katz 128 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 2: has always done it. I am alike a lot of you, 129 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 2: and I think it's fair to say that flying has 130 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 2: become a terrible experience. And that's not because of you. 131 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: That's because of the airlines, and that's because of the 132 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: way they begin to treat us. So you dress you 133 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: dressed to get through the day. I get that, but 134 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: I recently started trying to dress comfortably in a more 135 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: elevated way. So instead of sweatpants, I picked like a 136 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: sweater dress, which basically serves the same purpose as the sweatpants, 137 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: maybe even more comfortable, but it has an elevated look 138 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 2: to it. It's not fancy, but it's just a little different. Anyway, 139 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: all that to say that on the left, they're going, 140 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 2: why are we talking about this? You know, we have 141 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: these problems, that problems, and Secretary Duffy is telling you 142 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: to just dress up. Here's here's why it matters. Here's 143 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: why it matters that President Trump talks about the cost 144 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 2: coming down, even if it's a little bit. Here's why 145 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 2: it matters that Secretary Duffy is talking about dressing up 146 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 2: and if there's bigger problems, because this is a holistic 147 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: approach to pulling America back to an American identity. It 148 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: all serves the same purpose, which is elevating right, which 149 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 2: is looking up, elevating the quality of living by lowering 150 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: the cost of living, elevating the concept of American mobility 151 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: by dressing up as though it's a privilege. All of 152 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 2: this is working together to reset our notions about what 153 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: it means to be American to a time when things 154 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: were simpler. And know, you can't change the airlines. I 155 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 2: know you can't change you personally, can't change how much 156 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 2: your turkey costs. But what can we do as Americans 157 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 2: where we are to change those things? Well, we can 158 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: dress a little better, we can determine to be a 159 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 2: little nicer to each other. We're going to talk about 160 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: this concept as we move forward in this broadcast today 161 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 2: because I think all of this is working together for 162 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 2: something bigger, something grander, which Secretary Duffy actually talks about 163 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: when he's talking about travel, which is a return to 164 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 2: the golden age. I think you should keep that. That's 165 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 2: not for nothing, everybody. It's not just some flaky propaganda term. 166 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: It's meaningful to label, it's meaningful to brand. We know 167 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 2: this because of Trump. Branding is meaningful. So when Duffy 168 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 2: and Trump and anyone else calls this the Golden Era. 169 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: What they're trying to do is to get you to 170 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 2: believe that America is something special. You treat her special, 171 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 2: you dress up for her, you defend her, you respect her. 172 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 2: America is something special. And so when we are mobile, 173 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: you know, we act like we're being mobile in a 174 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 2: country that deserves some respect. But then what happens is 175 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: that bleeds out to your other areas and how you 176 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 2: treat each other in those areas. I want to talk 177 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 2: a little bit more about this concept. I'm going to 178 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: fold this into the conversation as we're moving along in 179 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 2: the broadcast, though this is our Thanksgiving broadcast, so I 180 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 2: don't want to necessarily spend too much time on it, 181 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 2: but I do want to get to the turkeys in 182 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 2: the White House and Trump pardoning the turkeys. He had 183 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 2: an extra special pardon today and then a not so 184 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 2: much of a pardon as well. But we need to 185 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: take a break. So let's take a break and we'll 186 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: get back with more Thanksgiving talk, more turkey talk here 187 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 2: on Tony Kats today. I'm Kia Davis filling in for 188 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 2: Tony Kats, and this is Tony Kats Today.

My 196 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 2: husband texted me to tell me to be kind to 197 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: the Indianapolis listeners today because it's going to be cold 198 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: and blustery there. I hear so sorry about that. You'll 199 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 2: you'll be very angry to know that I actually put 200 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: my heat on. It was sixty eight when I woke 201 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 2: up this morning and I turned theat on. I am 202 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 2: we are Indiana natives. I mean I'm not an Indiana native, 203 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: but my husband is. We lived in Gary for years, 204 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: but Nan, I tell you what, California. Your blood things 205 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: really quick. You get real weak, real quick here. That's 206 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 2: why we bring you such crazy people, because this place 207 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: it makes you, it changes you. It does make you 208 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 2: into that beachy surfer bro kind of thing. But it 209 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 2: also makes you soft and week breaking news everybody, the 210 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 2: Georgia election fraud case against election interference case against President 211 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 2: Trump has been dropped. The case has been dropped. They 212 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 2: don't want to pursue it anymore. Let's see here I 213 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 2: actually wrote about this. I re upped if you go 214 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: to x you can follow me on at Cure at 215 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 2: Davis Kira and I reupted an article I wrote about 216 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: Fannie Willis back in February for Newsweek at a byline 217 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 2: in Newsweek, and I wrote, then I said, look this, 218 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 2: I wasn't the only one saying it, but this case 219 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: is a nothing burger of the case is just designed 220 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 2: for one thing. But furthermore, Fannie Willis is is a 221 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 2: She's a patsy, and she's exactly why DEI is a 222 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 2: terrible thing for black people. And I said that as 223 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: a black woman myself, as a black professional, I've learned 224 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 2: how to spot these people over the years, the people 225 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 2: who have risen through the ranks as affirmative action hires. 226 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: You can they have, you know, the way pedophiles have 227 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 2: a look like they have pedo eyes, like their eyes 228 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: are too close together, like something about the perversion of 229 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 2: their soul also reads on their face. It's the same 230 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: way with the DEI hires. If they do not that 231 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: they have pedo eyes, but they all have the same attitude. 232 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 2: They all have the same look. And that's what I 233 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: was looking at. And at fifty one years old, I 234 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: know how to spot these peoples. That's what I was 235 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 2: looking at when I was looking at Bonnie Willis, and 236 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: I said, you know, this is a woman who has 237 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 2: is the exact definition of a useful idiot, right, the 238 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: white racist and the Democrat Party. And I definitely believe 239 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 2: that the Democrat Party is a racist party. I believe 240 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 2: that more than ever now actually that they have never 241 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: stopped being the party of McGovern and and UH and 242 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 2: slavery and Jim Crow. They just rebrand it. So all 243 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 2: of the stuff you see them doing now you're like, God, 244 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 2: that's racist, that's crazy. Yeah, that's because that's who they are. 245 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 2: So it's actually not that crazy. AnyWho. That's a sidebar 246 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 2: that's either here nor there. I knew. You know, women 247 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: like Fannie Willis get elevated through the ranks of the 248 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 2: Democrat political system because they're going to need someone to 249 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: blame the problems on They know they're crappy solutions don't work, 250 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: but they're good for amassing power. So what do you do. 251 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: You elevate these useful idiots, these people in the name 252 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 2: of social justice, in the name of racial justice. But 253 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 2: really these are people who are there bare. They're no, 254 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: not much better than slaves. Just to be real basic 255 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 2: about it, and they're they're or maybe I'll elevate it. 256 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: They're just like they're many Joe Biden's just sort of 257 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: walking robots. You can if you know the right buttons 258 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 2: to push. For Fannie Willis, that was influencing men. If 259 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: you know the right buttons to push, you can get 260 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 2: them to do whatever you want, and you can have 261 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: them stand in the way to catch all the flat 262 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: all the flames, and then the real power players and 263 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party go on to continue on with their days, 264 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 2: continue on with their lives. That's what Fannie Willis was, 265 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: and I knew it when I was looking at her. 266 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 2: So to me, that alone, the fact that they chose 267 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 2: her to prosecute this case told me that there was 268 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: no there. There there was no case there because they 269 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 2: had to put her Otherwise, why wouldn't you put your 270 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 2: best and brightest on it? And when you saw Fonnie 271 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 2: Willis on that stage, she certainly wasn't the best or 272 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: the bridest, was she. That's what my Newsweek article is 273 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: about as well. She didn't just sound as though she 274 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: were a sellout democrat. She actually sounded stupid. She sounded 275 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 2: legitimately unintelligent, as in, you wonder how she got through school. Now, 276 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 2: Stephen A. Smith, the ESPN commentator, picked up that piece 277 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 2: and he ripped me a new one for it. You 278 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: can probably go still find that commentary. He ripped me apart, 279 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 2: called me a sellout, called me a race trader, called 280 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: me a wanna be white girl, whatever, all the typical insults, 281 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 2: called me jealous, told me you can't, you can't. That's racism. Basically, 282 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: you're a racist. You don't know how she got to 283 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 2: where she is. Black women have had to work twice 284 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: as hard as everybody else. Okay, I'm a black woman. 285 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: I know what you mean when you say that. In 286 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 2: some cases, it's true, but it's only true because I 287 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: have to overcome the specter of women like Fannie Willis. 288 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 2: That's why it's true. It's not true because because the 289 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: majority of white people out there hate me. Actually, it's 290 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 2: been very few times in my life where I've encountered that, 291 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 2: and they've all been exclusively Democrats. By the way, very 292 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 2: few times. I do have to work twice as hard 293 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 2: in this industry as a black woman from time to time, 294 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: That's absolutely true. But it's because of women like Fannie Willins. 295 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm gonna pat myself on the back for 296 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 2: this one. I told you I told you so. Not 297 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 2: that I told you guys, because you guys already knew 298 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 2: you got it. But the people, the stephen A Smith's 299 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 2: in the world, I told you so, And I told 300 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: you stephen A Smith, that she was a patsy from 301 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: the start. Instead of coming for me, maybe you should 302 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: go stand up for your girl against the Democrats, and 303 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 2: maybe you should go ask them why they felt so 304 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 2: so fine with throwing a black woman under the bus 305 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 2: like that, putting her out front, knowing she didn't have 306 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 2: the experience for a case like this, and letting her 307 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 2: prosecute it anyway. Stephen A Smith, if you're so smart, 308 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 2: why don't you ask why they let that happen in 309 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 2: the first place. Why the most important case in the 310 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 2: country didn't go to a top prosecutor. Why they didn't 311 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 2: file that somewhere where they could get a top prosecutor. Or, 312 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 2: Why they didn't go place a top prosecutor there? Ask 313 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 2: yourself that it's because of us. They knew it was 314 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 2: a bunk case from the start. They were throwing everything 315 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 2: up against the wall to see what will work. But 316 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 2: in case things went south, the dummy to take the fall, 317 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 2: and Fannie Willis is the dummy. So congratulations, congratulations to Democrats, 318 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 2: and congratulations to everybody out there who lectures me all 319 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: day long about how I'm supposed to vote as a 320 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 2: black woman, I'm supposed to vote for this. I don't want. 321 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 2: I don't want to be a Fannie Willis. She's an embarrassment. 322 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 2: She's utterly embarrassing. She should be utterly embarrassed. I don't 323 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: know if she has the self awareness to be ashamed, 324 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 2: but she should be. So this case ended up exactly 325 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 2: where it needed to be and took up all the 326 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,479 Speaker 2: resources that never needed to take up. It was a 327 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 2: waste of time from the beginning, just like everything the 328 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: Democrats do.

By a narrow margin, 344 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: the canned cranberry sauce one out, thirty six percent of 345 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 2: you voted for the canned cranberry sauce. Thirty two percent 346 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 2: voted for homemade cranberry sauce. And thirty two percent of 347 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 2: you said it's for cereal killers, So there you go. 348 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,719 Speaker 2: I prefer the canned sauce. My good friend, who is 349 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 2: an incredible cook, and it has gore made taste Buds, 350 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 2: made me cranberry sauce one year from scratch, and I 351 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 2: hated it. I hated it. It was the most beautiful 352 00:20:53,200 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 2: dish you've ever seen, just lovingly prepared. Or a person 353 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 2: with actual sophisticated taste buds would have been grateful for it, 354 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: but I was, so I did not like it. I 355 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 2: want to see the ridges in my cranberry sauce, right, 356 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 2: I wanted to come out of the can. I want 357 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 2: to come out in the shape. As a matter of fact, 358 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 2: don't even cut it. Just put it on the table 359 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 2: looking like the can. It's kind of like a centerpiece. 360 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 2: But also what I do with my cranberry sauce is 361 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 2: one of my favorite things about Thingsgiving dinner is actually 362 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 2: Thanksgiving leftovers because I love to make turkey sandwiches. I 363 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: love like doing about four days of turkey sandwiches, and 364 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 2: I love mayonnaise and cranberry sauce, and so I like 365 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 2: that can sauce because it spreads easy, is this great 366 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 2: radio everybody, I don't know. Am I making good radio 367 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 2: for you in Tony's absence? I don't know how this is. 368 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,479 Speaker 2: Let's move on to something more interesting, but still on 369 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: the topic. President Trump was pardoning doing the annual traditional 370 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 2: pardoning of the turkeys at the White House this week, 371 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 2: and he had he made a little joke. I love 372 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 2: this guy. He made a little joke about what he 373 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 2: thought about naming the turkeys. Go ahead and play this clip. 374 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 3: Turky that's going to be saved. 375 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 5: The turkey's being pardoned today, go by the names of 376 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 5: Gobble and Waddle. When I first saw their pictures, I 377 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 5: thought we should send them. 378 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 3: Well, I shouldn't say this. 379 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 6: I was going to call him Chuck a Nancy, but 380 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 6: then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them. I would 381 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 6: never pardon those two people. I wouldn't pardon them. I 382 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 6: wouldn't care what Malania told me, Darling, I think it 383 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 6: would be a nice thing to do, I won't do it, Darling. 384 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 6: These are two of the largest turkeys ever presented to 385 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 6: an American president, over fifty pounds each. 386 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 3: It's the largest we've ever had. And those are big turkeys. 387 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 5: Are they as good as the normal size turkey better 388 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 5: or as good? 389 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 3: Do they tend to be a little fatty? Maybe? Now? 390 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 3: He said no, you know, it's a turkey business anyway. 391 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 5: Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formed certified that these 392 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 5: are the first ever Maha turkeys. I don't know if 393 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 5: I agree with that these are Maha. In other words, 394 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 5: they could be fat, but there's still Maha. They've been 395 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 5: fattened on a steady diet of grass beef. 396 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 2: Okay, that's allow you that's good. I mean, listen to 397 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 2: everybody tomorrow Thanksgiving. And no matter what you think about 398 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 2: all of his policies decisions, I think we can be 399 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 2: thankful for President Trump. We are never going to see 400 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: another president like this ever. Just the jokes he this 401 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 2: guy is so funny. The dying late night talks show 402 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: circuit doesn't even know what they're missing. They could be 403 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 2: They could be in a renaissance right now if they 404 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 2: had this guy out. He is so funny. But I 405 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 2: love being able. I love that my president talks like that. 406 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 2: I know it's not for everyone, but for me, I 407 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 2: dig it and I love that. Of course, it's the 408 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 2: two biggest turkeys we've ever part right, Trump's not going 409 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: to pardon some dumb old, skinny turkeys. He's going to 410 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 2: get the biggest and the best turkeys that You've never 411 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 2: seen turkeys like this. You've never seen turkeys like this 412 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 2: be pardoned before. It's the best pardon ever. But this 413 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 2: is why I think Trump is a man of his era, 414 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 2: a man for this time, and why yes, we can 415 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 2: laugh at him and laugh with him, but you should 416 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 2: take very seriously who he is, and you should take 417 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 2: very seriously all of these little things that to you 418 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 2: look extraneous or unimportant, that don't matter, like him getting 419 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 2: the two biggest turkeys to pardon for him embellishing the 420 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 2: White House with gold, for him building the ballroom, or 421 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 2: Secretary Duffy saying, hey, let's dress up a little bit 422 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 2: more to travel. Let's running a kindness camp, you know, 423 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 2: let's be nicer to each other when we travel. All 424 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: of these things are aimed at the elevation of the 425 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 2: American era. Even President we got news yesterday. Again, this 426 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 2: might seem like a nothing burger, but we got news 427 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 2: yesterday and all of the outlets covered it. We're getting 428 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 2: a rush hour for remember that movie Rush Hour? Jackie 429 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: Chan Chris Tucker, don't have a touch of black Man's Radio. Well, 430 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 2: you know that movie, great, great series. I love Jackie Channer. 431 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 2: Chris Tucker. Well, we get news yesterday they're making a 432 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 2: fourth installment of that series after I think the last 433 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 2: one was twenty years ago. But at the tail end 434 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 2: of the reports, which some news outlets didn't even report this, 435 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 2: I had to find this out later. It turns out 436 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 2: President Trump pushed Paramount to do this. Now, Paramount is 437 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 2: trying to get a merger deal done, and Trump's name 438 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 2: has come into that whole situation with the Jimmy Kimmel issue, right, 439 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 2: and people were saying, well, Paramount doesn't want to tee 440 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 2: off Trump because they need the government to approve this merger. Right. 441 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 2: And so now here Trump is putting his thumb on 442 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 2: the scale and saying, I want this rush Hour movie. 443 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 2: So we're getting a fourth installment of a rush Hour movie. Okay, 444 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 2: why does this pulling in full circle here? Why is 445 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 2: this a big deal? It's not that big of a deal, 446 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 2: but why does it matter in the Golden era? Because 447 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 2: Trump knows that part of the problem with this modern 448 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 2: moment in America is we have sold off the American dream. 449 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 2: We have sold it. In some cases, we've allowed it 450 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 2: to be stolen to China. Right, They've stolen our film industry, 451 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 2: they've stolen the entertainment industry. They've stolen our technology, and 452 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 2: then they stole our audiences using our own breathe, it's 453 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 2: our own studios begin to realize, oh, if we cater 454 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 2: our movies to China, we can sell them there. And 455 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 2: what happens is we get these watered down products because 456 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: Chinese consumers are not sophisticated entertainment consumers. They don't have 457 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 2: a sophisticated entertainment culture at the moment, and there's reasons 458 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: for that. That's not because of who they are, it's 459 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 2: because of their history. So they have stolen not only 460 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 2: our defensive technology, you know, our weaponry, our computer technology. 461 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 2: It's not just that they've also stolen our entertainment. And 462 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 2: entertainment is very influential and it informs people who they are. 463 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 2: And we've talked about this ad nauseum, and I know 464 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 2: Tony has because we're friends. We're good friends, and we 465 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 2: talk all the time, and this is one of the 466 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 2: topics we have always talked about. It's one of the 467 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 2: topics that made us friends in the beginning. How we 468 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 2: have to wrestle the entertainment culture because it is so 469 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 2: influential in how people view America, how our own people 470 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 2: view America. So Trump asking for a Rush Hour four, 471 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: which is a great American classic, I mean, at this point, 472 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: I'm sorry gen xers, but it's a classic. At this 473 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 2: point for him to ask for that American produced, American 474 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 2: dollars with this is important a Chinese star. So you 475 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 2: split in a difference there. You can sell this to 476 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 2: the Chinese consumer, and you can also tell the Chinese 477 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 2: government we basically do still own your entertainment. You can 478 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 2: send us your stars, but we're the ones who make 479 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: them stars. Right, it matters what this is saying. And 480 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 2: since bringing back the Golden era, we're not going to 481 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 2: make more movies about how bad America is. Let's make 482 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 2: more buddy cop movies, right, people liked those, Americans liked those. 483 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 2: Let's make more sci fi movies, Let's make more horror movies. 484 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 2: Let's make more movies about traveling across the country. And 485 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 2: stop worrying about the Chinese consumer because it's killing the 486 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 2: American palette. Do you understand what I mean, you have 487 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 2: to dumb down all your movies. You have to bleed 488 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 2: out all the nuance so that you can send it 489 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 2: to the Chinese consumer. But then what's happening is the 490 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: American consumer is learning to go without new once. It's 491 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: dumbing us all down, y'all, y'all don't see that. This 492 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 2: is its three point sixty everybody. It's all corners all 493 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 2: the way around. Yes, I know I'm mixing my metaphors, 494 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 2: but you know what I mean. It's the whole picture, 495 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 2: top to bottom. It's not just tariffs, it's all of it. 496 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 2: The culture has to be wrestled back. And here is 497 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 2: the thing we only have. We've really got a year. 498 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 2: We've really got a year. The Left has been working 499 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 2: their plan, their strategy to overtake the American culture. Now 500 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 2: they've been working it for seventy five years. We have 501 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 2: a year because we can never let the Democrats get 502 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 2: power again. This is why Republicans need to nuke the filibuster. 503 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 2: Just do it, do it and jam through everything. We 504 00:29:53,520 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 2: have no more time. Here are two years ago, maybe 505 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 2: even a year ago, would have said no, preserve the filibuster. 506 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 2: It's an important tradition. But the Democrats are not going 507 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 2: to honor it when they win. What are we waiting for? 508 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 2: You know, we're at war. This isn't playtime, This isn't 509 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 2: sort of the normal back and forth. Will get a term, 510 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 2: They'll get a term when the Democrats get power again. 511 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 2: I think we're going to be in a civil war 512 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 2: if we don't change the culture so that we're educating 513 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 2: and priming a new batch of Democrats to go in 514 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 2: and be a little saner. And you know what, let 515 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 2: me take a break here because I want to talk 516 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 2: about this on the other side. Let's just go into this. 517 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 2: We've got this woman running in Tennessee. She's a socialist 518 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 2: and she's getting real close to winning that special election, 519 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 2: and it's meaningful. It's in Nashville, and I think we've 520 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 2: got some bigger issues on our hand we need to 521 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 2: talk about. So let's take a break. So I got 522 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 2: a little more time on the other side to talk 523 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 2: about this. I'm Kia Davis filling in for Tony Kats 524 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 2: and this is Tony Kats Today. Welcome back everybody to 525 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 2: Tony Katz Today, on this Wednesday, November twenty sixth, day 526 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 2: before Thanksgiving. I hope you guys are having a great 527 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 2: Thanksgiving holiday week so far. I do want to talk 528 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 2: about what's going on in Nashville, but before I do, 529 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 2: I just got this press release that came across my desk, 530 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 2: and I just thought, I don't know, you might not 531 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 2: hear this anywhere else. I thought you might be interested 532 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 2: to hear this. This is from the Office of Surface Mining, 533 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 2: Reclamation and Enforcement, which is part of the Department of 534 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 2: Interior OSMRI. Eliminates obsolete coal regulations to advanced America's energy independence. 535 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 2: We are announcing today the formal recision of fourteen obsolete 536 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 2: or redundant regulations in a decisive move to advance America's 537 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 2: energy independence and economic vitality. Important step reflects the Trump 538 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 2: Administration's broader goal of reducing regulations, creating jobs, and encouraging 539 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 2: responsible energy development. The rescinded rules will officially be published 540 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 2: in the Federal Register. So that's some good news. Some 541 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 2: red tape getting removed. It's sort of it's well, it 542 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 2: is a part of President Trump's promise to get rid 543 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 2: of the red tape and make energy affordable again and 544 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 2: bring back America's energy independence. And so the Office of 545 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 2: Surface Mining and Reclamation, Like that's not a very sexy office. 546 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 3: You know what I mean. 547 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 2: No one's reporting on that. So these are things you 548 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 2: don't hear. You hear about the things that go wrong, 549 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 2: but we're not really hearing about the other little things 550 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 2: happening throughout the administration. So I just thought you might 551 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 2: be interested to hear that. I was interested to see it. Okay, 552 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 2: But back to the story about this woman in Tennessee. 553 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 2: Your name is Afton Baine. She's run for Tennessee's seventh 554 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 2: congressional district. Aften Baine b e h and Aten aft Yn. 555 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 2: The tyranny of the millennial This is the theory I've 556 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 2: been thinking about writing an article Smith something called like 557 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 2: the tyranny of the Braden generation, like often if there was, 558 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 2: I've never seen a more millennial name often Aten Bane. 559 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 2: She's a pure socialist. She's running for Congress and you 560 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 2: know this is a red district. Trump wont it by 561 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 2: plus twenty two. Latest pole has her trailing the Republican 562 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 2: leader Matt Vanepps by just two points two point four 563 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 2: points to be exact. Matt Vanepps in a poll out 564 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 2: today Emerson Poll pulling at forty nine point four percent, 565 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 2: often Baine polling at forty seven percent. We've got a 566 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 2: clip of her talking on a podcast about her plan 567 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 2: for social justice and for criminal for restorative justice. Excuse me, 568 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 2: for restorative justice. Let's play this clip and we'll talk 569 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 2: about why we should not dismiss this. Go ahead and 570 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 2: play this club. 571 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 7: Well, I'm currently involved in a transfer transformative justice seminar, 572 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 7: and so it's how to imagine a world without police 573 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 7: and what that looks like and what community mechanisms look like, 574 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 7: how people cannot police themselves. But what, for example, if 575 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 7: you experience sexual assault, like what is the reconciliation process? 576 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 7: And what does transformative justice look like? Because as we know, 577 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 7: like you can't take those things to like, you know, 578 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 7: the URT legal system is terrible when it comes to 579 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,839 Speaker 7: to retribution. So anyways, all that says that, like I 580 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 7: you know, I hope all of you so one I'll 581 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 7: have a podcast on it, and I highly recommend, like, 582 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 7: if it's been difficult for all of you to imagine 583 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 7: a world without police, please tune in too, maybe not 584 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 7: this episode, but the next one because I'll talk about, 585 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 7: you know, things I'm learning and growing as an organizer, 586 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 7: because I think especially for those of us you know 587 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 7: that are young, like you know, been talking to our 588 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 7: parents about what police abolition looks like, that you know. 589 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 2: We can do it, and there's a world. Do you 590 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 2: hear that? Do you hear that? I want you to 591 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 2: If you're having trouble imagining a world without police, you're 592 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 2: not going to have trouble imagining it much longer if 593 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 2: we allow this to go on. I'm going to talk 594 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 2: about this on the other side of the break. We 595 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 2: need to do something. I'm Kira David's filling it for 596 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 2: Tony Kats and this is Tony Cats Today.
