1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Last week I made a statement. I was on stage

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: in Fort Wayne, Indiana with one of my affiliates, Wowo

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: known affectionately as wo Wo Tony Katz Tony Kats today

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: good to be with you. Things are about to get loud.

5
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: And for Republicans, whether they be in my home state

6
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: or in any state, this is for you because while

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: I make the arguments quite clearly that Democrats don't know

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: how to run cities, they've proven it New York, Chicago,

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, San Francisco. You don't know how to run

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: a city. You're not capable of doing this. You're capable

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: of doing other things. You know how to make my latte,

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: you know how to dye your hair blue. I'm very

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: proud of you, but when it comes to running a city,

14
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're doing. And the rest of

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: us need to take control of these cities. Even Democrats

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: who live in the cities have to be like, you

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: know what, If I need my hair dyed blue, I

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: know what to call it. But if I want a

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: city run, I need a Republican. These people, these democrats,

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: can't run a freaking city. Republicans have their own issues,

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: and one of those issues is Republicans do not know

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: how to be tough at all. You would think after

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: the reelection of Donald Trump they would have gotten the message.

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: The answers, they don't have the message. And so there

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: I am in Fort Wayne and it's an event, Glenn

26
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: Beck is headlining the event. Who's on the station there?

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: And then it's a political panel and it's the morning

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: host from the station WOO, Caleb Blakesley, who's fantastic, and

29
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: Glenn Beck and the afternoon host over there at WOO,

30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: Kasey Hendrickson terrific, terrific guy in me, in me. And

31
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: this conversation came up about redistricting, which is to say,

32
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: it's mid decade, right, you do this sense system and

33
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: you create new districts. Well, what happens if you do

34
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: it in the middle of a census. It's a legal process.

35
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: It is allowed. You're not violating any law, no, or

36
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: you're violating the spirit of the law. You can redistrict

37
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: any time you want, and the people in the state

38
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: who don't like it, they can vote out state legislators.

39
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: And this is what happened in Texas, and Texas should

40
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: have dealt with Texas. But California came in and said, well,

41
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: we're going to engage an act of retribution and we're

42
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: going to redistrict. It was at that moment I said

43
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: that Indiana, because it was on the table about redistrict,

44
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: has to redistrict. Every Republican state has to redistrict because

45
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: it's clear that you're in a fight. First, look at

46
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: what the left is done via redistricting and the levels

47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: of weird, nonsensical AMIBA like districts they've created. Then they

48
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: create these panels and these institutions to protect what it

49
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: is they've done so they can keep their feetdoms and

50
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: keep their power. Then take a look at the states

51
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: that have Republicans to live in the state and have

52
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: not a single Republican representative, and we're told, well, that's

53
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: just the way it is, and no question about how

54
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: they've drawn their districts. If you want to talk about

55
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: the future of the nation, you can give it up

56
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: to democrats, if you choose who are now progressives nay communists,

57
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: and you've seen the violence and you've seen the vitriol,

58
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: and you've seen the incapability that they put out there,

59
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: or you could say we're going to utilize a political

60
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: process that's purely legal, completely legal, and we're going to

61
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: fight back a legal way. And so there's been a

62
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: lot of push in the state of Indiana for redistricting.

63
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: The push comes from the president and the Vice president.

64
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: The push comes from me. There is a reporting today

65
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: that a Republican spokesperson and Indiana said, we don't have

66
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: the vote for redistricting. The votes aren't there for redistracting.

67
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: This per an Indiana Senate Republican spokesperson. It was Hannah

68
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Hannah Adamson reporting, you don't know that. I know that

69
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: Republicans in the state listen to this show as they

70
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: listen all across the country. But remember I do a

71
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: morning show here and other things. But this is not

72
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: a story just about Indiana. This is the story as

73
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: we go back to it, as we were discussing earlier

74
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: about the very concepts of leadership. Republicans are too afraid

75
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: of their own shadow. They're too afraid it's too interested

76
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: in being nice. And the question is, what are you

77
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: talking about? What is the value of your supermajority. If

78
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: you're not willing to utilize it for a subject that

79
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: has value nationwide, why do you think you're above it?

80
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: Were more importantly, why do you think it's beneath you?

81
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: Why is a political process beneath you? What are you

82
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: afraid of? What moral high ground do you believe that

83
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: you hold? What I said in Fort Wayne was all

84
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: we heard about is we have to do things differently.

85
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: All we heard about is that we need to fight.

86
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: All we heard is that President Trump was a fighter

87
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: and we need to elect fighters like President Trump. And

88
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: we're going to fight, and we want things to change

89
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: and we want things to be different. And now we're

90
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: having a conversation about something that's a little bit different

91
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: and the answer is, oh, oh, we don't. We can't

92
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: do that, that is beneath us. We don't do that here.

93
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: Then you should go work with dairy queen because you

94
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: have no business being in a place of power. You

95
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: don't have it, kitten, You're not good enough. Whether it

96
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: be the Republicans in my own state or in any

97
00:05:53,120 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: other state, this is the conversation, a valuable conversation utilizing

98
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: a legal political process. You got the political power, and

99
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: now the answer is don't use it. You absolute children,

100
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: When do you grow up and realize what is happening

101
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: all around you? You don't like being called children. My gosh,

102
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: I've got much worse for you. But I'm on radio,

103
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: and there are rules. This is not Vietnam. There are rules.

104
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: You have the power, you were elected to utilize it.

105
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: And this is a political process. Well, Tony, you're just

106
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: stealing vote. You're not stealing anything. You are engaged in

107
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: a process that belongs to the legislature. They already took

108
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: your ability to decide who the senator is via the

109
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: direct election of senators. You gave that up so willingly

110
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: your heads could spin. And this you're not even willing

111
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: to fight for. Why am I voting for you? Why

112
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: am I campaigning for you? What value do you bring?

113
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: This is true for your state, guys, of course, redistribute

114
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: should be on the table. And in Indiana, Governor Mike

115
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: Brawn call the special session. This is Tony Katz today,
