<v Speaker 2>Treasury Secretary is going to apply to Iran I don't

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 2>know what that is yet. What I do know is

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 2>that the Iranian regime is showing signs of the cracks.

0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:42.919
<v Speaker 2>We can show this, we can prove this. We did

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 2>this the other day. We've got more Tony Katz. Tony

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.839

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 2>do over at tonykatz dot com. Apologize for no livestream today.

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll make that all understandable tomorrow. But here's what we've

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 2>got going on. You have the Iranian regime saying that

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Baron Trump is fully monitored, putting a ten million dollar

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 2>bounty on his head. It's a New York Post with

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 2>the story quite literally where to kill Baron Trump. This

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:24.839
<v Speaker 2>is horrifying stuff. You're going after people's kids. It's absolutely

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 2>horrifying stuff. Now you can argue the kids an adult

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 2>and all that jazz, but it can't be argued. The

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>only thing they could be argued here is that what

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.680
<v Speaker 2>it is that the regime is trying to do is

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>get the United States to stop, and they have lost capability.

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>We discussed this the other day when the president of

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Aram Pozzeshkia. Now, I've seen it written as Pozsesskian and

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I've seen it written as Pozzeshkia, so I'm going with Pozeshkia.

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 2>So if I'm wrong, blame anybody who writes things on

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 2>the internet. He just last week when we talked about

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 2>this Friday. Guys, I don't recall, get the podcast over

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 2>at Tonycuss dot com wherever you get your podcasts, and

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 2>you'll be able to listen to it. That he is saying,

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, we've already defeated the United States and everybody

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 2>around the world hates them, so why don't we just

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 2>come to a peace deal. And while he's saying that,

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 2>he's talking about actors within Iran and he's saying about them,

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 2>they don't understand this conflict. So the translation there is

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 2>the president whatever is there of the leadership is saying

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>to the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the fractured

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:47.119
<v Speaker 2>and factionalized we can call it IRGC, that they are

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 2>causing more problems for Iran, specifically the leadership and keeping

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>down the people and being able to make some money

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:58.959
<v Speaker 2>through illicted means. Stop it. These United States sanctions. Never mind,

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 2>if they go on more bombing raids are going to

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 2>destroy us. Cut it out, live to see another day,

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 2>rebuild as the Iranians always do, and then we'll fight

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 2>them again. We're not giving up our jihad. We're not

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 2>giving up our desire for califry. We're not giving up

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>our desire to destroy Israel, to go after the United States,

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.919
<v Speaker 2>because it's the little Satan before the Great Satan, because

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 2>destroying Western civilization is the goal. The Iranians, the Chinese,

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 2>and the communists of the DSA, they've all got the

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 2>same wants and desires. That's what the Red Green Alliance is.

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Of course, it is the only people dumb enough to

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 2>introduce Islamis to their society is the whole of Europe

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>and now more and more of the United States. So

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 2>by saying that Pazeshkia put on the table that sanctions

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 2>and other things are working. We know from Major Mike Lions,

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 2>we know from Stephen Yates that oil is indeed moving

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 2>around the ue in Oman coast. They're on the Persian Gulf,

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>which means that the Iranians can't see it or they

0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 2>can't get to it. They don't have the weaponry they

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 2>can get to it. We know from the reporting of

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Noah Rothman over at National Review wor at about seventy

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 2>five to eighty percent of prewar oil moving along that coast. Now,

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 2>this will bring us to then, why in the world

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 2>aren't gas prices down? Well, gas prices aren't necessarily down,

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>because that's a trailing indicator. Why aren't barrel futures down?

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's a place where I wouldn't mind President Trump

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 2>get a whole bunch of upity with some people saying

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 2>what do you think you're doing? Because that is an issue.

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a populist, but everyone could see that one

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 2>right there. What did Pozeshkia do Now. Pozeshkia, now in

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 2>continued talks, says that the Ayatola Kamane the dead one,

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 2>not the dead one, the dead one. So there's the old,

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.599
<v Speaker 2>dead one that you knew as the Ayatola, until, of

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 2>course we killed the Ayatola or was it the Israelis?

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. It was Uso as a friend, that's cool.

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 2>And then there was the son who became the new Iyahtola,

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 2>the baby Nepato, as Ed Morrissey would say. And then

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 2>we think he's dead and no one's seen him. And

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 2>if he is alive, he's drooling into a cup. Pozhkia,

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 2>the president of Iran, says of the old ayah Tola

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:19.159
<v Speaker 2>that he favored backing a diplomatic solution to end the

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 2>feud with the United States. Now, before we go any further,

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 2>can we both say together because we're friends, right, we're buddy,

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 2>as we hang bull crap. That didn't happen, That never happened.

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>There's no way that happened. That's a lie. Now it

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>is the Iranian regime, so everything is a lie. Everything

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 2>is a lie. We are to believe that the Ayatola

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 2>wanted to get peace. So Pozzeshkia, which is now written

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 2>again as Pozeskian, good lord, with strength, but with logic,

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 2>we could sit down and resolve our problems. Is that right?

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 2>It is better that we bring the war to an

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.119
<v Speaker 2>end now as we are in a position of power

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 2>and dignity. No, you're not. You're begging. You're begging. You

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.799
<v Speaker 2>have come to realize that you are in a worse

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 2>position than you thought. Maybe, indeed, as some people have

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 2>been discussing for a while now, the strategy of we're

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 2>going out, we're going to control the straight, we're going

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>to abuse people on the Strait of Hormuz, maybe that

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>strategy was not the best strategy. Maybe that strategy is

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 2>a one trick pony. And once that trick is done, well,

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 2>seventy five percent of the oil can get through. If

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:46.239
<v Speaker 2>we're moving more oil out of the Texas, Louisiana, Alabama area,

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 2>that Gulf area than ever, well, maybe that's enough. Maybe

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 2>that's enough to satisfy, Maybe that's enough to mollify. Maybe

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 2>that's the reason. Even though oil price is the barrel

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 2>price is still too high. The economy, well in a

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 2>bad place, isn't off the cliff. The economy is one

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 2>of the weirdest things going on out there. You and

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 2>I both know in the every day everything is more expensive.

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>People are still buying this is like COVID spend all

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 2>over again. We take a look at the numbers, we

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 2>take a look at the inflation. We're like, this don't

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>make no sense. And yet you go to a mall

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 2>or any luxury place, people have bags, they're buying. It's fascinating.

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Nothing matters. Now, that's going to bring us to a

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 2>debt bomb. And what's going on with credit card debt

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 2>where you've got one point two to two to one

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 2>point two three trillion dollars where the credit card debt

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 2>in the last quarter. This is not going to be good.

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 2>But while the price is higher, and certainly the left

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 2>has been complaining, and people can talk about affordability from

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 2>now to the end of time, and there are worthy

0:07:56.000 --> 0:08:02.200
<v Speaker 2>discussions within this, it hasn't broken US. Manufacturing is still up,

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>and maybe they've come to realize that the economic sanctions

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 2>are gonna hurt them longer. Their philosophy was they can

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 2>outweight Trump, they can wait through the midterms and then

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 2>get them to lose, get them, impeach, break them that way. Maybe.

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if it's you and me sitting on a

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 2>barcelol having a bourbon, very possible right that could absolutely

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 2>positively be the strategy, no question about it. That doesn't

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 2>mean that strategy is gonna work, and it doesn't mean

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 2>it exists in an isolated way. So this is a

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 2>great example of how media tries to paint the picture

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:37.719
<v Speaker 2>of here's the only way this happens. This the way

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 2>it goes on, and it isn't. There are multiple things happening,

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 2>and the idea that everything wasn't going to work for

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Trump that was never true. We said it. Of course,

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I disagree with the philosophy. I believe you got to

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 2>take out the regime. It's the only thing that will

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 2>work in the long term is ending this regime, ending

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 2>the Islamist having them destroyed, quite literally, the raising of

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 2>buildings in Iran by the people, administrative offices, moss everything.

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 2>The people are gonna have to do that in order

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 2>to show the end of the regime. That's how that

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 2>one's gonna work. I mean, history does what it does.

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 2>But they were relying on being able to outweig Trump,

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>and no one ever asked the question, can they outweight themselves? Wait,

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 2>hold on, I know one group of people that did.

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 2>We did. We asked if he can outweight himself, if

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:39.079
<v Speaker 2>they can outwait themselves. We asked if the Iranian regime

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 2>can handle this and the answer based on now two

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 2>pieces from this President posess ki In I got an

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 2>official it's with an end, it's got the end and

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 2>there the answer is no, they can't wait it out.

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:58.840
<v Speaker 2>They just can't. So what is it that we are

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 2>going to see Bessen to unleash today? Because we know

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 2>that this is going to apply to anybody who's a

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 2>trade partner. The real thing to watch is will it

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 2>apply to anybody connected to Do you know the answer? Oh,

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 2>yes you do. I can already hear you saying it China, correct.

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 2>That's where the pressure point comes in China and Russia

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 2>because the word I'm street was that Russia was doing resupply.

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what else you can sanction of the Russians.

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 2>I really don't know what else that could be. But

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 2>if no one is willing to buy any Iranian oil,

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:38.719
<v Speaker 2>if no one is willing to do this with a Ran,

0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 2>no one willing to do that with the RAM, the

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>cost is too high, Well that's what I'm looking for

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 2>in these sanctions. That's what I'm looking for from Besson

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 2>in this discussion. We're gonna find out. Keep it here.

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm Tony Katz and this is Tony Katz today. So

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 2>gerger LLINs, they're so angry they might throw a silver

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.560
<v Speaker 2>medal at us. Is that too soon?

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, no, maybe Tony Kats Tony Kats today, guys. Good

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.080
<v Speaker 2>to be here, Good to be with you. The Prime

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, took to the microphone and

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 2>oh he was steaming. But you know, in good Canadian

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 2>spirits steamen, we'll see. I believe that was French for

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 2>we surrender. I might be I might be wrong. This

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 2>has to do with the tariff. So before I mean,

0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 2>before the weekend began, everything was was great and everybody

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 2>was they were, they were, they were on the same

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 2>tune and they were gonna work this out before fifty

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:53.440
<v Speaker 2>tariffs went into effect. And then all of a sudden,

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Canada becomes the Iran of the Western hemisphere. Oh that's

0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 2>not nice at all, Tony. And they're like, you're not

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 2>dealing with us as an honest broker. This is not working. Goodbye,

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 2>and they walk away from the negotiating table. Now, this

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.880
<v Speaker 2>was a fifty percent tariff on a whole host of things,

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:20.319
<v Speaker 2>and one can argue that there's really no need for

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 2>the fifty percent tariff at all, no need whatsoever. You

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 2>know where I'm at, which is the tariffs are taxes,

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.319
<v Speaker 2>and we're the ones who pay it tariff strategically, I

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 2>can live with tariffs as a philosophy. I cannot, just can't. Absolutely.

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a terrible idea. I think it has

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 2>kept the inflation where it is. It could have been

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 2>much lower and we'd all be better off, not a fent.

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:55.959
<v Speaker 2>The Canadians think everything is about this fifty first state nonsense. Now,

0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 2>if you were to take a look at Canada population wise,

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 2>if you were to take a look Canada GDP wise,

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 2>you actually could make an argument for it. The population

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 2>of Canada is thirty nine point one nine million people.

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 2>The population of Florida is twenty three point four to

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:25.640
<v Speaker 2>six million people. Case rested. You also have when talking

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:30.560
<v Speaker 2>about the Canadians, this this fifty first state idea. People

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 2>forget that they are Canadians. They don't appreciate being spoken

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 2>to like this. They find this stuff frustrating and ugly

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 2>and despicable and low rank and low class, and who

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:50.840
<v Speaker 2>the bloody heck are you? They are taken aback by

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 2>this from Trump. They find the whole thing wholly disgusting.

0:13:54.360 --> 0:14:00.560
<v Speaker 2>They don't want any part of it, and so they acted.

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.680
<v Speaker 2>We put tariffs on them, they put tariffs on us.

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 2>They weren't buying some bourbon, they were buying some other things. Okay,

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.560
<v Speaker 2>this latest round, one could argue, well, this is because

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Canada is not doing enough when it comes to securing

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.439
<v Speaker 2>in the northern border, something called the Swanton sector s

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 2>wa NTN. This is in the Vermont area. And yes,

0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 2>it's been an issue Chinese nationals and a host of others.

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 2>But speaking of China, one of the other issues has

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 2>been the importation. We're talking about steel and how steel

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 2>comes in, and we're talking about electric vehicles. China has

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 2>been importing electric vehicles or exporting electric vehicles to Canada.

0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Canada has been importing electric vehicles. These vehicles are ten

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 2>thousand percent ten thousand percent rolling surveillance machines. That's all

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.080
<v Speaker 2>they are. They are keeping an eye on you, they

0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 2>are keeping an eye on me. They are transmitting back,

0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 2>no question. Did I hear it right? A friend was

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 2>telling me this story that Polaris, which sells electric vehicles,

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 2>will not as of twenty twenty seven be able to

0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 2>sell in No, not Polaris, sorry, Polestar. Polestar is the name.

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Polestar will not be able to sell in the US

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 2>market in twenty twenty seven because ownership comes from China

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 2>and we don't allow that stuff here Canada. Taking in

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 2>electric vehicles is a serious problem for US because let's

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 2>say someone owns in Toronto or Windsor and an electric

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 2>car from China. Are they allowed to drive into the

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 2>United States? And before you answer, allow me no, turn

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 2>the car around. You're not allowed to enter the United States.

0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't care what you're re and is what your

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 2>rationale is. I don't even care about your sick kid.

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 2>That's how much we have to say. We don't allow it.

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Our safety and our security that comes first. You know,

0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 2>people talk about this America first thing. And I've never

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 2>been a guy who really was, you know, in favor

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 2>of that as an expression. But if we are going

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 2>to use it as an expression as the Tuckers, Marjorie

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Green, Thomas Massey set want to use, maybe we

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 2>should discuss what it means. Maybe we should ask ourselves

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 2>whether or not these things do matter. And as I

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:38.280
<v Speaker 2>would argue there's a hierarchy. Some things come first, we

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.640
<v Speaker 2>come first. I don't know there's anything wrong with that.

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.520
<v Speaker 2>So we do have some issues with Canada. I don't

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 2>know of another. Fifty percent tariff is the thing that

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 2>makes a difference. It's now on twenty billion dollars worth

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 2>of Canadian products. Canada has responded by saying we are

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:03.200
<v Speaker 2>going to add Torris on American good on our goods.

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Dealing with America, darry is going to be a big one.

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Fishing rods, cement wine a Canadian wine. What in the

0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:18.120
<v Speaker 2>world I'm assuming that's syrup. I'm just I'm not an expert.

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.240
<v Speaker 2>And then they're gonna put a tariff on hockey equipment.

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:30.360
<v Speaker 2>So that's fine, that's fine. If we need any protection,

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:35.320
<v Speaker 2>we'll just cover ourselves with our gold medals. That's twice.

0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.920
<v Speaker 2>That's twice. I've made an Olympics dig and I feel

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 2>good about that. Canada saying they asked too much and

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 2>offered too little. Well maybe, and if this is how

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 2>you want to negotiate, I can't stop them, nor do

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 2>I actually fault them. Go ahead and negotiate this way.

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.040
<v Speaker 2>This might play very well at home, might make the

0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:58.359
<v Speaker 2>economics rough, but it might play very well for the Canadians.

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:03.280
<v Speaker 2>We don't take no gup from Trump. Maybe Canadians have

0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 2>decided that they'll pay more, but they won't bow to

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Trump and everything will be better and they'll just wait

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:12.880
<v Speaker 2>them out. You know. There's a message in that. There's

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 2>a huge message in that, and there's also the recognition

0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:21.520
<v Speaker 2>that this is the story today. Tomorrow a deal can

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.640
<v Speaker 2>be struck and it all goes away. The first rule

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.520
<v Speaker 2>of trump Ism as Trump wins, and the second rule

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.159
<v Speaker 2>of trump Ism is that a deal can always be

0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 2>made as long as that adheres to the first rule

0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:34.119
<v Speaker 2>of trump Ism. Do I think Mark Carney is playing

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.960
<v Speaker 2>this wrong? Look. I think the tariffs are wrong. So

0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I think the whole thing is just flat out nutty.

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.480
<v Speaker 2>But all politics are local. And one of the things

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.280
<v Speaker 2>that the Trump faithful and the Maga faithful have to

0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:55.920
<v Speaker 2>do is recognize that Carney owes Trump nothing. He owes

0:18:55.960 --> 0:19:00.000
<v Speaker 2>it to himself to get reelected. That's true of South Korea,

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:02.719
<v Speaker 2>which I think is more and more upset with what

0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 2>has happened with these wargames, and North Korea. That is

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:10.159
<v Speaker 2>true of Sinnai Takaichi, the prime minister there in Japan.

0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:14.639
<v Speaker 2>It's true of all of them. Don't forget that in

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 2>the great scheme of things. But time has a way

0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:23.880
<v Speaker 2>of changing it around. We might actually I would bet

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 2>money on it. We see that from Canada. I just

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.480
<v Speaker 2>don't have any loans on me. Isn't like the looney

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.800
<v Speaker 2>or something. Their money. All right, We'll betting Sarah because

0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 2>at least that's delicious to Canada. Joke people, this is

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:37.040
<v Speaker 2>a tonic thout the.

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:41.919
<v Speaker 4>Thing when you hear Kelly Leffler rightfully talk about the

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:44.639
<v Speaker 4>rise of socialism. One of the things we believe in

0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:48.400
<v Speaker 4>the Trump administration is that the way to defeat socialism

0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:51.960
<v Speaker 4>it's not to throw slogans at people. It's not politician

0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.879
<v Speaker 4>talk and repeating the same old thing. It's given people

0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:58.600
<v Speaker 4>a real stake in the future. Now, thousand dollars may

0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.760
<v Speaker 4>not sound like much, but you take one thousand dollars

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.160
<v Speaker 4>to a child born tomorrow in the United States of America,

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 4>and you give that child eighteen years of compounding, eighteen

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 4>years of interest accrued, eighteen years of investing in something.

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:16.640
<v Speaker 4>And that's how we make the next generation of Americans

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:19.639
<v Speaker 4>have a real state. In the next generation of the

0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:20.680
<v Speaker 4>American economy.

0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Now, I have nothing against compounding. I suggest you start

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:29.879
<v Speaker 2>investing now, ladies and gentlemen. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today.

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I am not your financial advisor. I'm not. We might

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:35.800
<v Speaker 2>have the same last name, but I am not your

0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.080
<v Speaker 2>financial advisor. I don't even know if people consider that

0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:44.159
<v Speaker 2>joke funny anymore. I'm good with it. Haha, teh. Everyone

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:53.360
<v Speaker 2>calm down a little. But he's he's wrong in the presentation,

0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:58.959
<v Speaker 2>which jd Vance drives me crazy, because jd Vance is

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:02.359
<v Speaker 2>wrong about in terms of it is not land, it

0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:06.600
<v Speaker 2>is indeed an idea. He's wrong about that. He's wrong

0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:11.399
<v Speaker 2>on foreign policy when we discuss where the threat is

0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:14.560
<v Speaker 2>and how the threat must be dealt with the isolationism

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 2>which he espouses without the utilizing that phraseology, I don't

0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:26.359
<v Speaker 2>think is of value. Not being involved in everything is worthwhile.

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Thinking that you can't be involved in the people who

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:33.479
<v Speaker 2>want to be involved with you, that's just denial. And

0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:36.200
<v Speaker 2>then this, the way to defeat socialism is not through slogans.

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:38.439
<v Speaker 2>It's by giving Americans a real stake in the future.

0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:42.480
<v Speaker 2>It's explaining to them that they are their own future.

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.320
<v Speaker 2>So if you say to me, you defeat socialism by

0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 2>the government giving every baby one thousand dollars so it

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:54.320
<v Speaker 2>could be invested. I don't think that swims as well

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:56.960
<v Speaker 2>as he does. That does not move the way he

0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:03.560
<v Speaker 2>thinks it does. He's got the conceptually, He's right there.

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 4>And that's what you'd got to do if you want

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:07.840
<v Speaker 4>to fight socialism.

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Give people a stake in the future.

0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:13.000
<v Speaker 4>The Democrats are running a very corrupt game, which is

0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:15.600
<v Speaker 4>they're trying to tear down this country, tear down our

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 4>young people, tear down our military, and what's left over

0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 4>with the ashes of what they've torn down is socialism. Well,

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.439
<v Speaker 4>we've got a different approach, my friends. We want to

0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:28.879
<v Speaker 4>invest in you, we want to fight for you, and

0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.199
<v Speaker 4>we want to fight for your children's future. We're going

0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:34.119
<v Speaker 4>to defeat socialism by giving you a stake in the

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.000
<v Speaker 4>American dream, and that's how we're going to.

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Win the future. Can I ask what stake they don't

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:42.359
<v Speaker 2>have right now? They want to live good lives, they

0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:44.720
<v Speaker 2>want their kids to live good lives. I'm asking the question,

0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:48.639
<v Speaker 2>where's how do they not have a stake? What is

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 2>this approach from the Vice president? Because it sounds, oh,

0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:56.240
<v Speaker 2>don't get angry with me. It sounds like it sounds

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 2>a bit like the socialism. We're going to give you

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:00.440
<v Speaker 2>this stuff, and we're going to give you that stuff.

0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:01.919
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna do this stuff for you. We're gonna do

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:04.200
<v Speaker 2>that stuff for you. That's what it sounds like. That's

0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:09.760
<v Speaker 2>how it comes across. And let me say again, for

0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:12.400
<v Speaker 2>the people in the cheap seats, do you know how

0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 2>talented JD. Mances? JD. Man's a stupid talented You want

0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:18.240
<v Speaker 2>to hear a good line.

0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:20.800
<v Speaker 4>And whenever I'm in Maine, I gotta give Susan a

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:24.159
<v Speaker 4>little bit of crap, because, as you know, Susan is

0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:28.040
<v Speaker 4>the most independent member of the United States Senate, and

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:31.480
<v Speaker 4>as the president of the United States Senate, she sometimes

0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 4>makes my job just a.

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Little bit harder.

0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:37.320
<v Speaker 4>But she makes it harder because she is coming to

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:40.879
<v Speaker 4>work every single day and fighting, not for a political

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 4>party or.

0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Not for any abstraction.

0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:46.159
<v Speaker 4>She comes to work every single day and she fights

0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:47.720
<v Speaker 4>for the great people of Maine.

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:54.040
<v Speaker 2>That line is so good. That line is so good

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.560
<v Speaker 2>for the state of Maine. Why did she vote against

0:23:56.600 --> 0:24:01.919
<v Speaker 2>Todd blanche for Attorney General? She voted against nomination because

0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:03.720
<v Speaker 2>she needed to show the people of Maine that she

0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:07.840
<v Speaker 2>was independent of Trump. Everybody knows this. I assume that

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:12.120
<v Speaker 2>people of Maine know this. You know this. But that's

0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:15.359
<v Speaker 2>exactly why it happened. She needed the out the vote

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:17.679
<v Speaker 2>Countador was already there. They already knew what they were

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:19.919
<v Speaker 2>gonna do about McConnell, and that's how Blanche Blanche got

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:23.560
<v Speaker 2>confirmed fifty to forty nine. Really, shame on the Democrats

0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 2>who in Toto didn't vote for him. They were wrong.

0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 2>And as for Lisa Murkowski, the Senator from Alaska, is

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 2>always wrong. She doesn't fight for a political party, She

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:38.800
<v Speaker 2>fights for the great people of Maine. Come on awesome

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:45.800
<v Speaker 2>line and beautifully delivered. He is able and capable. When

0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:52.439
<v Speaker 2>we get into policy, it just does not connect. His

0:24:52.680 --> 0:25:00.840
<v Speaker 2>policies are not policies that one can consider having great value.

0:25:01.080 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Because if the answer is you don't want socialism, rather

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:07.520
<v Speaker 2>you want the United States government to give your kids

0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:15.280
<v Speaker 2>a thousand dollars thousand dollars free healthcare, what's the difference. Honestly,

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:20.240
<v Speaker 2>what's the difference in the methodology. Now we're only talking

0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:25.880
<v Speaker 2>about the amount. It's the methodology that's the issue, right,

0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:29.439
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't matter if you're willing to accept fifty bucks

0:25:29.440 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 2>to sleep with someone, or fifty thousand dollars to sleep

0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:37.119
<v Speaker 2>with someone, you're still a prostitute. Is that not an

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:38.919
<v Speaker 2>acceptable way to explain this. I think this is an

0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:44.360
<v Speaker 2>acceptable way to explain this. Do I like the idea

0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:47.800
<v Speaker 2>of being able to set up accounts where others can

0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:50.959
<v Speaker 2>invest in our kids show? That's fine by me. So

0:25:51.080 --> 0:25:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the Trump account concept is totally fine. As long as

0:25:55.359 --> 0:26:00.159
<v Speaker 2>we are discussing where the money is coming from. It's

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 2>not from US tax credits and things like that, Well

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:06.520
<v Speaker 2>that's completely fine because we're talking about not having to

0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:09.920
<v Speaker 2>pay the government, you keeping your own money. Totally cool

0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:12.359
<v Speaker 2>with that. So maybe that's what he means, isn't how

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:15.199
<v Speaker 2>it came across across is We're going to give you

0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:18.000
<v Speaker 2>money so you have a steak in America's future. And

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the problem with that is that they already have a

0:26:19.560 --> 0:26:22.919
<v Speaker 2>steak in America's future. They're Americans. We have a steak.

0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:31.080
<v Speaker 2>But I can tie this to President Trump on beef

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:35.160
<v Speaker 2>imports where he is feeling the heat, and I'm gonna say,

0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:36.960
<v Speaker 2>for the record, I will get him on the show.

0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Congressman Marlin Stutsman is out of Indiana. I know the congressman.

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 2>He is not too far from where I work, and

0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:53.439
<v Speaker 2>this is about labeling on products. So there's the idea.

0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know if Thomas Massey had wanted this

0:26:55.840 --> 0:27:02.159
<v Speaker 2>as well, because I've stopped paying attention to his anger, screaming, yelling, bigotry, silliness.

0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:04.960
<v Speaker 2>But one thing I think we would all agree on,

0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:06.440
<v Speaker 2>and as a matter of fact, if we didn't agree

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:08.639
<v Speaker 2>on it, I would think it very peculiar, Like, regardless

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:12.240
<v Speaker 2>of party, don't we want products that we buy to

0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 2>be labeled where they were made. That's a standard. I

0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:21.159
<v Speaker 2>believe Amazon should have to do this in very large type,

0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:24.440
<v Speaker 2>the kind of type your grandpa can read without glasses,

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Like very large type. It should be easy to understand

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 2>where it comes from, because I think for a lot

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:33.360
<v Speaker 2>of us, maybe not all of us, that will determine

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:36.159
<v Speaker 2>whether or not we buy the product, and that information,

0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:39.120
<v Speaker 2>the country of origin information, is hidden from us. So

0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Stutsman is talking about this in regards to American beef,

0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 2>the beef story, I think I have it right now now,

0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:49.360
<v Speaker 2>and I also have a theory. Tell me what you think.

0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:51.880
<v Speaker 2>You can email me Tony at tonycats dot com. Anytime,

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:55.400
<v Speaker 2>love to talk to you. President Trump wants to introduce

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:58.840
<v Speaker 2>three hundred thousand metric tons of ground beef into the

0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:02.560
<v Speaker 2>US economy, not have any tariffs on that beef as

0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 2>a way of augmenting our supply and helping to bring

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 2>down costs because beef is at an all time high.

0:28:10.760 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 2>The reaction has been, what in the world are you

0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:20.280
<v Speaker 2>doing a cattle ranchers, This is just a mess. Might

0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:23.280
<v Speaker 2>be well intentioned, but it's going to exacerbate long term

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:26.639
<v Speaker 2>stock shortage in the cattle industry. Now, for those who

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 2>may not know, we are at a low on cattle.

0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:34.800
<v Speaker 2>The herd is as low as it's been since nineteen

0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:40.240
<v Speaker 2>between nineteen fifty and nineteen fifty five. That's part of

0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:46.880
<v Speaker 2>our problem. We have not replenished supply, replenishing the herd,

0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 2>and that takes time. Just like aging a bourbon. You

0:28:50.080 --> 0:28:51.120
<v Speaker 2>can't rush that stuff.

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:52.880
<v Speaker 5>All the ai in.

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:55.480
<v Speaker 2>The world can't rush a bourbon. Boo boo. It's going

0:28:55.520 --> 0:28:58.040
<v Speaker 2>to take it's two years, so it can be straight bourbon.

0:28:58.120 --> 0:28:59.920
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna take it's four years, it's gonna take it

0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:03.760
<v Speaker 2>eight years, or whatever it is you need. It's going

0:29:03.800 --> 0:29:07.360
<v Speaker 2>to take time to do that. It's gonna take time

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:11.360
<v Speaker 2>to replenish the herd. Trump's philosophy is if we introduce

0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 2>the beef, we bring down the costs, and that's good

0:29:13.480 --> 0:29:17.440
<v Speaker 2>for midterms. We also take the pressure off of the

0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:23.840
<v Speaker 2>cattle rancher and allow them to allow the herd to grow.

0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:37.920
<v Speaker 2>The President's argument is a legitimate argument. The problem is

0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:43.920
<v Speaker 2>that that argument is countered by a multiplicity of people

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:47.360
<v Speaker 2>saying this is not the way to do it. The

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:50.760
<v Speaker 2>herd may need time, but while you're waiting for the

0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:54.240
<v Speaker 2>herd to grow, you're telling the American cattle industry, the

0:29:54.240 --> 0:29:59.040
<v Speaker 2>beef industry, screw you. Now, you're gonna get even less,

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:00.960
<v Speaker 2>even though you're already paid, saying more for everything it

0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 2>takes to raise the cattle. This brings us into another

0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 2>part of it, the regulatory environment around cattle. What is

0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 2>it that they're paying for. One of the places that's

0:30:10.520 --> 0:30:15.120
<v Speaker 2>a massive problem the processing of beef. We have a

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:20.240
<v Speaker 2>problem with not enough USDA inspection plants, and those costs

0:30:20.320 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 2>are outrageously high, which is leading to higher costs for

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:26.120
<v Speaker 2>us I'm not saying we should be sloppy with beef.

0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm not talking about bringing back the slaughterhouses. Of the thirties.

0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:35.840
<v Speaker 2>I am saying, we're making it too difficult. We also have,

0:30:36.000 --> 0:30:39.440
<v Speaker 2>because of war in Ukraine, a very high price of fertilizer,

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:44.080
<v Speaker 2>which we've been dealing with for five years now. Farmers

0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:47.720
<v Speaker 2>use fertilizer. There's feed, there's a whole host of things.

0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:53.960
<v Speaker 2>So you have these things that are causing the higher costs.

0:30:54.160 --> 0:30:58.240
<v Speaker 2>And now you're telling the American beef a world there

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:00.240
<v Speaker 2>that they're going to have to compete with if I'm

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 2>out of country source possibly Argentina, other places, and they're

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:05.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna be able to sell it for less. Now we've

0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:07.120
<v Speaker 2>got to be able to compete. And the next thing

0:31:07.120 --> 0:31:09.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're making even less money on their beef

0:31:09.160 --> 0:31:14.280
<v Speaker 2>of anything at all. That is where the pushback is.

0:31:16.080 --> 0:31:22.720
<v Speaker 2>The President is making an argument. But the pushback argument,

0:31:23.440 --> 0:31:26.800
<v Speaker 2>I argue, is the right one. And when we discussed

0:31:26.840 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 2>this on Fridays this was just coming out. What I

0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:33.320
<v Speaker 2>said was I'm not a fan of this after walking

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:35.280
<v Speaker 2>through it, and by the way, I could still be

0:31:35.360 --> 0:31:38.440
<v Speaker 2>swayed by talking to more farmers, talking more ranchers. Email

0:31:38.480 --> 0:31:44.240
<v Speaker 2>me tonyatonycats dot com. This is a mistake. This is

0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 2>not the route we should go now. Some people are saying, hey,

0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 2>it's just for ninety days. A lot of bad things

0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:55.680
<v Speaker 2>can happen in ninety days, and as we all know,

0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:59.800
<v Speaker 2>something that's ninety days could last longer. Because if I

0:32:00.000 --> 0:32:03.080
<v Speaker 2>remember correctly, and tell me if I'm wrong, it was

0:32:03.160 --> 0:32:10.800
<v Speaker 2>fifteen days to flatten the curve. I could hear your

0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:14.840
<v Speaker 2>head shaking in agreement, like, oh yeah, so this is

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:18.160
<v Speaker 2>not a cut and dry issue. It's a worthy discussion point.

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:22.920
<v Speaker 2>I just believe that the winner of this and the

0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:28.000
<v Speaker 2>position I take is that we shouldn't be doing this importation.

0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:31.080
<v Speaker 2>We do have to let the herd grow. And what

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:33.400
<v Speaker 2>can we do to help the herd grow? And one

0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 2>of the things I've been hearing from cattleanchers tax credit.

0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:39.400
<v Speaker 2>We'll dig into that in the days ahead. Keep it here.

0:32:39.440 --> 0:32:42.920
<v Speaker 2>This is Tony kats today, read up through fifty Washington, DC,

0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Indy Car and it was exceptional that town lost their mind.

0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, an absolute pleasure to be

0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:58.640
<v Speaker 2>with you guys. What's going down? What's with everybody? Here's

0:32:58.640 --> 0:33:03.040
<v Speaker 2>the story. Indye Car decides they're going to bring a

0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:07.520
<v Speaker 2>road race, the road course to DC. Trump wants to

0:33:07.560 --> 0:33:09.920
<v Speaker 2>do it. They had actually tried to do it and

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Congress wasn't interested, and then Trump said we should do this.

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:16.960
<v Speaker 2>The next thing you know, it's happening. DC gets behind

0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:20.720
<v Speaker 2>this in a very very amazing way, including the Democrat

0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:24.800
<v Speaker 2>mayor Muriel Bowser, who gave the command, drivers to your cars.

0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 2>They set up a course. See I thought the course

0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:32.120
<v Speaker 2>had the cars heading towards the Capitol. No, they wanted

0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:34.320
<v Speaker 2>the visual of the Capitol and the background is the

0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:38.920
<v Speaker 2>cars were coming towards you. Seven turns was at one

0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:43.680
<v Speaker 2>point seven miles. I believe it was. It was outstanding

0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:46.240
<v Speaker 2>That town went crazy. They'd never seen anything like it before.

0:33:46.280 --> 0:33:48.600
<v Speaker 2>And one of the things that they did. I was

0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 2>not expecting this. On Pennsylvania Avenue, where they had the

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:56.960
<v Speaker 2>big straightaway speeds of one hundred and seventy three miles

0:33:56.960 --> 0:34:01.520
<v Speaker 2>an hour, people were able to get on balcons and rooftops,

0:34:02.000 --> 0:34:03.959
<v Speaker 2>I would not have figured they would have allowed that

0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:08.480
<v Speaker 2>at all. In DC, they got on rooftops to watch

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:10.759
<v Speaker 2>and they're sharing video. They're like, do they really know

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:13.920
<v Speaker 2>how fast these cars go? Now you guys know that

0:34:13.960 --> 0:34:16.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm in Indianapolis. I get to do pre race coverage

0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:19.279
<v Speaker 2>of the Indy five hundred every year. I've done this

0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:22.680
<v Speaker 2>for a decade. Until you've seen two hundred and thirty

0:34:22.680 --> 0:34:25.080
<v Speaker 2>three miles an hour, you don't know nothing. And then

0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:27.960
<v Speaker 2>they're like, oh my gosh, say we know how loudness is.

0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 2>This is amazing, as everybody tells me, because I didn't

0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:34.760
<v Speaker 2>live in Indiana at the time. If you heard Indie

0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Car when they had Stug carburetors, that noise was heard

0:34:39.760 --> 0:34:46.400
<v Speaker 2>across the state, the ground would rumble and it's loud.

0:34:46.440 --> 0:34:48.799
<v Speaker 2>Now people are like, this are the coolest things ever.

0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:52.240
<v Speaker 2>And the party was great, and there was a note

0:34:53.080 --> 0:34:58.480
<v Speaker 2>to this, like a footnote. There were no protests, not

0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:02.400
<v Speaker 2>a protest in DC. People just had a good time.

0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Hole Kirkwood wins. He really did run the show. He

0:35:07.239 --> 0:35:09.360
<v Speaker 2>has been great on road courses and now you've got

0:35:09.400 --> 0:35:11.520
<v Speaker 2>a real fight for the IndyCar Championship, which is very,

0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:13.600
<v Speaker 2>very cool because the spread is like ninety one points

0:35:13.600 --> 0:35:16.239
<v Speaker 2>and that's an easy thing to overcome between Kirkwood and

0:35:16.280 --> 0:35:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Alex Below. Is this going to happen again? That's a question.

0:35:21.600 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 2>That's a question for IndyCar and no one else, because

0:35:25.040 --> 0:35:27.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is a real dollars and sends thing here.

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Costs a lot to do this. I got to assume

0:35:30.800 --> 0:35:33.760
<v Speaker 2>DC wants it. I'm not. I'm just sure if IndyCar

0:35:33.880 --> 0:35:37.920
<v Speaker 2>wants it every year. But could it happen again? My

0:35:38.040 --> 0:35:44.880
<v Speaker 2>money's on Yes. This is Tony Katz today.

0:35:48.680 --> 0:35:53.839
<v Speaker 1>Why from the Hartland and the Crossroads of America.

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:59.080
<v Speaker 2>It's Tony Katz today.

0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:06.600
<v Speaker 5>Welcome back everybody to Tony Katz Today. Welcome, Welcome everybody.

0:36:06.640 --> 0:36:09.800
<v Speaker 5>You can probably tell this is Tony, this is Kia Davis.

0:36:09.840 --> 0:36:12.920
<v Speaker 5>He needed somebody to step in really quick while he

0:36:13.000 --> 0:36:16.319
<v Speaker 5>ran out to take care of some other commitments. But

0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:20.160
<v Speaker 5>luckily he's always got me in the pocket. Kia Davis

0:36:20.239 --> 0:36:23.000
<v Speaker 5>coming to you live from southern California. It's always a pleasure.

0:36:23.040 --> 0:36:24.800
<v Speaker 5>You guys know me by now. It's always a pleasure

0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:26.920
<v Speaker 5>to be here. But in case your new year, let

0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:28.520
<v Speaker 5>me just tell you. Want to know a little bit

0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:31.640
<v Speaker 5>about who I am. Best place to go two places actually,

0:36:31.960 --> 0:36:35.840
<v Speaker 5>X at Kira Davis Kiria Davis, or hit up my

0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:38.960
<v Speaker 5>website at just Kiradavis dot com and you'll see all

0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:41.160
<v Speaker 5>the stories I'm working on, all the things that I do,

0:36:41.280 --> 0:36:45.600
<v Speaker 5>and I fill in for radio across the entire country.

0:36:45.600 --> 0:36:49.560
<v Speaker 5>But TKT is one of my favorite shows. So I'm

0:36:49.560 --> 0:36:51.760
<v Speaker 5>not quite sure what you guys have been talking about

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:55.000
<v Speaker 5>in the first hour. I was busy quickly prepping for

0:36:55.239 --> 0:36:59.040
<v Speaker 5>the last two hours. But luckily for us, there is

0:36:59.120 --> 0:37:01.680
<v Speaker 5>no shortage of thing to talk about it. I'm definitely

0:37:01.719 --> 0:37:04.520
<v Speaker 5>going to start with Indiana, though you guys know that

0:37:04.680 --> 0:37:07.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm from well, my family and I are from Gary, Indiana.

0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:11.520
<v Speaker 5>We live in California. Now, I'm not from there. I'm

0:37:11.520 --> 0:37:15.000
<v Speaker 5>not a native Indiana and but I'm married into Gary

0:37:15.040 --> 0:37:17.480
<v Speaker 5>and we lived there for ten years. My husband was

0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:21.160
<v Speaker 5>born and raised. Their family still there and that's where

0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:24.920
<v Speaker 5>we moved to California from. And as you guys know,

0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:28.960
<v Speaker 5>they're in Indianapolis and Indiana and probably by now across

0:37:29.040 --> 0:37:32.920
<v Speaker 5>the rest of these United States. Gary's been without power

0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:37.239
<v Speaker 5>for two weeks after an incredible storm hit northwest Indiana

0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:41.960
<v Speaker 5>area and just too quickly. I'm sure Tony's been talking

0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:44.080
<v Speaker 5>about this a bit at least, but just to quickly

0:37:44.239 --> 0:37:47.240
<v Speaker 5>get you up to date on what's going on there,

0:37:47.320 --> 0:37:51.880
<v Speaker 5>it's everybody else is pretty much restored around there, but Gary,

0:37:51.920 --> 0:37:55.160
<v Speaker 5>and I think parts of Hammond and Munster are still

0:37:55.560 --> 0:38:01.360
<v Speaker 5>without power. We talked to my uncle a third family

0:38:01.400 --> 0:38:04.759
<v Speaker 5>member who's a senior citizen. My aunt and uncle lived

0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:09.520
<v Speaker 5>there and we they're seniors, were like, how are you

0:38:09.560 --> 0:38:13.120
<v Speaker 5>guys doing? And my uncle said, we have no intention

0:38:13.239 --> 0:38:17.200
<v Speaker 5>of leaving. Or it's summertime there, y'all. There's no ac

0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:22.680
<v Speaker 5>no fans. You know, it's miserable. And he said, we're

0:38:22.719 --> 0:38:26.120
<v Speaker 5>not leaving because if we leave, there's going to be

0:38:26.160 --> 0:38:30.759
<v Speaker 5>nothing to come back to because the roving gangs of

0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:34.080
<v Speaker 5>home invaders and thieves and gang members are going to

0:38:34.120 --> 0:38:38.200
<v Speaker 5>come into this house. And believe me, my uncle is strapped.

0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:42.239
<v Speaker 5>He's like old school Gary. He is strapped. So he

0:38:42.760 --> 0:38:44.600
<v Speaker 5>is like, I'm not leaving this because they're gonna come in.

0:38:44.640 --> 0:38:47.120
<v Speaker 5>They're going to take everything. And that's part of what's

0:38:47.200 --> 0:38:51.160
<v Speaker 5>going on in Gary, and per usual, the leadership of

0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:55.680
<v Speaker 5>Gary is blaming everybody else but themselves. Now, I'm not

0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:58.200
<v Speaker 5>saying that the nip that Nipscow doesn't have, that's the

0:38:58.200 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 5>power company. If you're listening outside Gary or outside of Indiana,

0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:04.759
<v Speaker 5>I'm not saying Nipsco has no culpability. My goodness, I'm

0:39:04.760 --> 0:39:09.680
<v Speaker 5>in California and we can share our own horror stories

0:39:09.920 --> 0:39:12.680
<v Speaker 5>about the power companies. The things that they get away

0:39:12.680 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 5>with and their twisted relationship with local government. I'm more

0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:20.480
<v Speaker 5>than one hundred percent sure NIPSCO has a lot of

0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:24.920
<v Speaker 5>culpability here. But some things are outside your control, especially

0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:28.080
<v Speaker 5>as a mayor or if you are a local elected

0:39:28.200 --> 0:39:31.879
<v Speaker 5>Some things are outside of your control. But some things

0:39:31.920 --> 0:39:33.960
<v Speaker 5>are inside of your control. And one thing you can

0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:37.000
<v Speaker 5>do is make sure that your city is prepared for emergency.

0:39:37.239 --> 0:39:42.360
<v Speaker 5>You have the proper emergency response set up cities, larger

0:39:42.440 --> 0:39:45.040
<v Speaker 5>cities and cities that are well run, although I'm not

0:39:45.160 --> 0:39:48.759
<v Speaker 5>quite sure where those cities are anymore, but well run

0:39:48.880 --> 0:39:53.120
<v Speaker 5>towns and cities, they have contingencies, just like our nation

0:39:53.320 --> 0:39:57.880
<v Speaker 5>has contingency plans. There's an entire group of people whose

0:39:58.040 --> 0:40:00.480
<v Speaker 5>job it is in the American government to just game

0:40:00.520 --> 0:40:05.799
<v Speaker 5>out every contingency plan, alien invasion, tsunami that engulfs the

0:40:05.960 --> 0:40:13.719
<v Speaker 5>entire continentally the United States rain that never stops, massifire, coups, corruption.

0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:17.279
<v Speaker 5>They have game plans for everything. That's their job, and

0:40:17.320 --> 0:40:20.239
<v Speaker 5>that's what a city needs to do as well, especially

0:40:20.280 --> 0:40:24.560
<v Speaker 5>a city that is on Lake Michigan, one of our

0:40:24.600 --> 0:40:27.359
<v Speaker 5>great lakes. That is the other thing that is so

0:40:27.440 --> 0:40:32.600
<v Speaker 5>sad to me about Gary Gary has no excuse to

0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:36.080
<v Speaker 5>be the way that it is. It has every resource

0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:38.600
<v Speaker 5>available to it. It is thirty miles from one of

0:40:38.640 --> 0:40:43.440
<v Speaker 5>our major cities, Chicago. It sits directly on Lake Michigan.

0:40:44.520 --> 0:40:49.280
<v Speaker 5>It has access to all of the resources of that area.

0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:52.319
<v Speaker 5>The steel mills closed many years ago, but some are

0:40:52.360 --> 0:40:55.920
<v Speaker 5>still operating, so it has access to some work, but

0:40:56.000 --> 0:40:59.120
<v Speaker 5>it has access to Chicago, where there's tons of work.

0:41:00.200 --> 0:41:04.880
<v Speaker 5>Architecture is amazing. I wouldn't necessarily suggest you take a

0:41:04.920 --> 0:41:08.320
<v Speaker 5>stroll through Gary, but if you happen to be riding

0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:11.480
<v Speaker 5>through Gary, stay in your car, but also take a

0:41:11.480 --> 0:41:15.359
<v Speaker 5>look at the crumbling architecture. My husband and I bought

0:41:15.360 --> 0:41:20.080
<v Speaker 5>our first home there, and it's a beautiful home, nineteen

0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:25.200
<v Speaker 5>twenties brick corner lot. Just a gorgeous home, but sat

0:41:25.280 --> 0:41:27.480
<v Speaker 5>right in the middle of the hood and so wouldn't

0:41:27.520 --> 0:41:31.239
<v Speaker 5>count as a gorgeous home and wasn't classified as a

0:41:31.239 --> 0:41:35.200
<v Speaker 5>gorgeous home, not tax wise. I'm saying that Gary has

0:41:35.280 --> 0:41:38.200
<v Speaker 5>everything it needs to be successful. What it doesn't have

0:41:38.320 --> 0:41:40.880
<v Speaker 5>is good leadership. And I've seen a lot of the

0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:45.200
<v Speaker 5>leadership in Gary and in other places on the left

0:41:45.520 --> 0:41:48.440
<v Speaker 5>talking about how isn't it a coincidence that Gary is

0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:51.680
<v Speaker 5>one hundred percent black. The mayor's black, every single person

0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:54.319
<v Speaker 5>in government, every single person in government is black. I

0:41:54.360 --> 0:41:56.480
<v Speaker 5>don't know if I ever met a white person working

0:41:56.520 --> 0:42:01.200
<v Speaker 5>in Gary government. And I worked with alongside the Gary

0:42:01.239 --> 0:42:03.919
<v Speaker 5>government when I lived there because I ran an after

0:42:03.960 --> 0:42:07.640
<v Speaker 5>school program. That's what made me a conservative, y'all. Gary,

0:42:07.800 --> 0:42:12.359
<v Speaker 5>Indiana is the place that made me a conservative. I

0:42:12.560 --> 0:42:16.120
<v Speaker 5>was a mindless liberal when I got married and went

0:42:16.160 --> 0:42:19.600
<v Speaker 5>in there. But I've always been community oriented. I've always

0:42:19.600 --> 0:42:22.440
<v Speaker 5>been you know, my that's my faith right says you

0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:26.360
<v Speaker 5>serve your community. So I immediately jumped in to community service

0:42:26.440 --> 0:42:28.960
<v Speaker 5>when I got there, and when I got to see

0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:31.319
<v Speaker 5>how all of the things that I was voting for

0:42:31.400 --> 0:42:33.359
<v Speaker 5>all these years, I mean I was very young, wasn't

0:42:33.400 --> 0:42:35.280
<v Speaker 5>that many years. I was twenty four when I got married.

0:42:35.640 --> 0:42:37.799
<v Speaker 5>But I saw all of the things that I had

0:42:37.840 --> 0:42:39.799
<v Speaker 5>been voting for, and I got to see how those

0:42:39.800 --> 0:42:43.960
<v Speaker 5>policies work up close and in real time, and I

0:42:44.040 --> 0:42:48.040
<v Speaker 5>realized they don't work. And it started making me look

0:42:48.080 --> 0:42:51.279
<v Speaker 5>at things differently. I realized I was wrong. Education is

0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:54.440
<v Speaker 5>where it started, because that's what I was doing and

0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:56.880
<v Speaker 5>what I realized every way all the ways we were

0:42:56.880 --> 0:43:01.440
<v Speaker 5>approaching education was actually hobbling these kids, hobble our black children,

0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:05.120
<v Speaker 5>and Gary hobbling them. I realized, oh, I've been wrong

0:43:05.160 --> 0:43:08.120
<v Speaker 5>about this, and it started me thinking about, well, what

0:43:08.280 --> 0:43:11.680
<v Speaker 5>else was I wrong about? This is why people, this

0:43:11.760 --> 0:43:14.400
<v Speaker 5>is why a paradigm shift is so rare for people,

0:43:15.040 --> 0:43:18.080
<v Speaker 5>because of most I'm going to venture to say, most

0:43:18.160 --> 0:43:24.600
<v Speaker 5>people do not have the capacity to retroactively catch their

0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:27.319
<v Speaker 5>morals up or values up if they have a paradigm shift.

0:43:27.360 --> 0:43:31.920
<v Speaker 5>And that's why the brain fights so hard against absorbing

0:43:32.000 --> 0:43:38.640
<v Speaker 5>new information, conflicting information, information that might change how things look.

0:43:39.640 --> 0:43:44.360
<v Speaker 5>That's why, because it's a domino effect, right, If you

0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:46.879
<v Speaker 5>allow it to happen, then you start thinking about all

0:43:46.960 --> 0:43:48.960
<v Speaker 5>of the other thing. That's why during COVID they wouldn't

0:43:49.000 --> 0:43:52.600
<v Speaker 5>let us even whisper the idea of natural immunity. Once

0:43:52.640 --> 0:43:55.320
<v Speaker 5>you start talking about natural immunity, then you start talking

0:43:55.360 --> 0:44:00.000
<v Speaker 5>about vitamin C, vitamin D, how you can protect yourself.

0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:03.120
<v Speaker 5>Then you start thinking about all of the different ways

0:44:03.160 --> 0:44:05.719
<v Speaker 5>the government says they are protecting you or can protect you,

0:44:05.760 --> 0:44:09.200
<v Speaker 5>but really doesn't they actually prevent you from protecting from

0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:13.400
<v Speaker 5>being protected and protecting yourself. So it just starts this cascade,

0:44:14.440 --> 0:44:19.480
<v Speaker 5>that of knowledge or revelation that a lot of people

0:44:19.640 --> 0:44:24.960
<v Speaker 5>can't handle. So Gary, really, Gary Indiana is why I'm

0:44:25.000 --> 0:44:28.439
<v Speaker 5>sitting on this mic today. That is no lie. If

0:44:28.440 --> 0:44:30.880
<v Speaker 5>not for Gary Indiana, I probably would not be filling

0:44:30.920 --> 0:44:34.040
<v Speaker 5>in for Tony Katz today. But Gary Indiana made me

0:44:34.239 --> 0:44:38.600
<v Speaker 5>into a conservative. And what they do is every election cycle,

0:44:38.920 --> 0:44:42.080
<v Speaker 5>the same, the usual suspects come out. I actually wrote

0:44:42.120 --> 0:44:43.880
<v Speaker 5>about this on the AX go to my ex account,

0:44:43.960 --> 0:44:49.160
<v Speaker 5>the same, the usual suspects come out. Now again, Gary's

0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:51.640
<v Speaker 5>almost one hundred percent black on paper, I think it's

0:44:51.719 --> 0:44:56.480
<v Speaker 5>like seven or eight percent Lutino and a few white people.

0:44:57.080 --> 0:45:00.600
<v Speaker 5>The white people live in Miller, everybody. If you want

0:45:00.640 --> 0:45:03.919
<v Speaker 5>to see what Gary's real problem is, go and look

0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:08.400
<v Speaker 5>at the beachside enclave of Miller, which is a cute,

0:45:08.440 --> 0:45:13.120
<v Speaker 5>cool little town. I think it's having trouble as always

0:45:13.160 --> 0:45:15.040
<v Speaker 5>with the leadership, but that's where the white folks live,

0:45:15.160 --> 0:45:17.560
<v Speaker 5>or people who have some kind of money. They live

0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:20.560
<v Speaker 5>in Miller. It's right on the beach. It's a little

0:45:20.560 --> 0:45:23.640
<v Speaker 5>beachside town. It's gorgeous, and the people there have so

0:45:23.760 --> 0:45:27.440
<v Speaker 5>far been able to withstand a lot of the pressure

0:45:27.520 --> 0:45:30.200
<v Speaker 5>from the Gary government. But the Gary government is always

0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:32.840
<v Speaker 5>punishing Miller because they're the only ones who really pay taxes.

0:45:33.320 --> 0:45:37.040
<v Speaker 5>And it happens to be divided by a highway. Now

0:45:37.080 --> 0:45:39.120
<v Speaker 5>I don't think it always was, but a freeway came

0:45:39.160 --> 0:45:41.920
<v Speaker 5>through there and it's divided from the rest of Gary.

0:45:42.360 --> 0:45:44.360
<v Speaker 5>So it's got a little bit of a different vibe,

0:45:44.480 --> 0:45:48.720
<v Speaker 5>not totally, but a little bit. And that's what Gary

0:45:48.800 --> 0:45:53.399
<v Speaker 5>could be. Miller is what Gary could be. But every

0:45:53.440 --> 0:45:57.759
<v Speaker 5>election cycle, the usual suspects come out and even though

0:45:57.840 --> 0:46:00.920
<v Speaker 5>everything's all black there and everyone who runs everything is black,

0:46:01.200 --> 0:46:03.439
<v Speaker 5>the usual suspects come out and they say, we got

0:46:03.440 --> 0:46:05.840
<v Speaker 5>to protect Gary from the white man. We gotta protect

0:46:05.840 --> 0:46:08.680
<v Speaker 5>Gary from the Republicans. There's no Republicans in Gary. I mean,

0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:12.520
<v Speaker 5>you know, running we got to protect Gary from the Republicans.

0:46:12.560 --> 0:46:16.080
<v Speaker 5>We gotta protect Gary from Pick your president, pick your governor,

0:46:16.120 --> 0:46:19.880
<v Speaker 5>pick your local leaders that are in the news. The

0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:22.719
<v Speaker 5>narrative always is the white people are coming for our

0:46:22.800 --> 0:46:25.840
<v Speaker 5>black town and if you don't elect us, they're gonna

0:46:25.840 --> 0:46:28.560
<v Speaker 5>come and change the city. Now the city needs to

0:46:28.600 --> 0:46:31.719
<v Speaker 5>be changed, right, But that's what they run on and

0:46:31.760 --> 0:46:33.960
<v Speaker 5>the few people who vote, and I don't think it's

0:46:34.000 --> 0:46:36.719
<v Speaker 5>that many. I've never looked at their turnout numbers. But

0:46:36.760 --> 0:46:40.080
<v Speaker 5>the few people that vote, they just they fall for

0:46:40.160 --> 0:46:43.920
<v Speaker 5>the banana and the tailpipe every time. So they're just

0:46:44.320 --> 0:46:47.200
<v Speaker 5>electing and re electing the same people over and over again.

0:46:47.920 --> 0:46:52.640
<v Speaker 5>Gary's dysfunction is its own issue, its own problem. It

0:46:52.680 --> 0:46:55.000
<v Speaker 5>doesn't have anything to do with the governor, the president,

0:46:55.120 --> 0:46:58.000
<v Speaker 5>or any white people. In my estimation, I'm going to

0:46:58.080 --> 0:47:00.640
<v Speaker 5>continue this train of thought, but let's take quick break.

0:47:00.640 --> 0:47:02.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm Kia Davis filling in for Tony Katz. You're listening

0:47:02.960 --> 0:47:07.400
<v Speaker 5>to Tony Katz today. Welcome back, everybody too, Tony Katz Today,

0:47:07.480 --> 0:47:10.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm your guest host, Kia Davis, stepping in for Tony.

0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:12.440
<v Speaker 5>I do run out and take care of a commitment,

0:47:12.480 --> 0:47:14.799
<v Speaker 5>but I'll be with you for the rest of the show.

0:47:14.920 --> 0:47:18.279
<v Speaker 5>Check me out on x at Kira Davis. Go buy

0:47:18.320 --> 0:47:21.760
<v Speaker 5>my book Drawing Lines, Why Conservatives Must Begin to Battle

0:47:21.760 --> 0:47:24.160
<v Speaker 5>fiercely in the Arena of Ideas. I wrote it in

0:47:24.200 --> 0:47:26.920
<v Speaker 5>twenty twenty two, and I don't think it's ever been

0:47:27.000 --> 0:47:31.200
<v Speaker 5>more relevant than it is at this very moment, because

0:47:31.239 --> 0:47:34.200
<v Speaker 5>it is a whole book about how you can get

0:47:34.239 --> 0:47:37.520
<v Speaker 5>engaged right where you are. The issues that you should

0:47:37.520 --> 0:47:40.880
<v Speaker 5>be concerned about, and there's a plethora of them, so

0:47:40.920 --> 0:47:43.040
<v Speaker 5>you have a lot to choose from. But it's really

0:47:43.120 --> 0:47:46.040
<v Speaker 5>encouraging everybody to become a soldier in this war. We

0:47:46.200 --> 0:47:51.160
<v Speaker 5>really are battling for the culture. Nothing has proven that

0:47:51.320 --> 0:47:55.480
<v Speaker 5>to mean more than the very strange discussion we've been

0:47:55.520 --> 0:48:01.360
<v Speaker 5>having lately around the Lindsey Clancy trial and the murder

0:48:01.400 --> 0:48:04.080
<v Speaker 5>of her children in postpartum depression. I'm going to get

0:48:04.080 --> 0:48:07.080
<v Speaker 5>to that in the next segment, but I do want

0:48:07.080 --> 0:48:10.279
<v Speaker 5>to finish up my thoughts on Gary here. I was

0:48:10.320 --> 0:48:13.080
<v Speaker 5>just talking about how it is one hundred percent black

0:48:14.000 --> 0:48:18.200
<v Speaker 5>and black leadership and one hundred percent failure all of

0:48:18.239 --> 0:48:22.520
<v Speaker 5>the time. When I lived there, Gary public schools almost

0:48:22.560 --> 0:48:27.120
<v Speaker 5>all of them lost their national accreditation. That means they

0:48:27.160 --> 0:48:33.479
<v Speaker 5>were not accredited schools. They were failing. The state tried

0:48:33.520 --> 0:48:36.799
<v Speaker 5>to take over Gary three different times in my time

0:48:36.840 --> 0:48:41.000
<v Speaker 5>in Gary, but each time the city would pitch a it,

0:48:41.800 --> 0:48:46.040
<v Speaker 5>we'd start screaming about racism and the state would back off. Meanwhile,

0:48:46.120 --> 0:48:52.440
<v Speaker 5>nothing changes for the residents. Everything gets worse. I wanted

0:48:52.480 --> 0:48:57.800
<v Speaker 5>to so I wrote a little diatribe on X about

0:48:57.840 --> 0:49:00.839
<v Speaker 5>why Gary is falling apart. I said Gary is our

0:49:00.840 --> 0:49:04.120
<v Speaker 5>former hometown. Let me tell you why they are still

0:49:04.120 --> 0:49:07.680
<v Speaker 5>without power. People keep shooting at the NIPSCO trucks, roving

0:49:07.719 --> 0:49:10.960
<v Speaker 5>gangs of thieves and home invaders, and limited police presence.

0:49:11.320 --> 0:49:15.320
<v Speaker 5>Infrastructure is poorly maintained. Untrimmed trees are making access to

0:49:15.360 --> 0:49:20.200
<v Speaker 5>power lines difficult, Damaged streets and sidewalks, abandoned buildings everywhere.

0:49:20.640 --> 0:49:23.840
<v Speaker 5>City leadership has been hopelessly lazy and corrupt for decades.

0:49:24.000 --> 0:49:27.000
<v Speaker 5>Many like the new mirror, but he has clearly not

0:49:27.160 --> 0:49:31.120
<v Speaker 5>prepared the city for emergency. Our senior citizen uncle is

0:49:31.120 --> 0:49:33.320
<v Speaker 5>there and refuses to leave his home because he knows

0:49:33.480 --> 0:49:35.839
<v Speaker 5>if he leaves, there will be nothing to come back to.

0:49:36.239 --> 0:49:38.920
<v Speaker 5>Everyone there is at the mercy of criminals, the weather,

0:49:39.080 --> 0:49:43.120
<v Speaker 5>and a chronically incompetent local government. It may also interest

0:49:43.120 --> 0:49:45.920
<v Speaker 5>you to know that Gary is considered the bluest city

0:49:45.960 --> 0:49:48.640
<v Speaker 5>in America. Yes, it's actually a title that the News

0:49:48.719 --> 0:49:51.480
<v Speaker 5>gives Gary during each election cycle when they're waiting for

0:49:51.520 --> 0:49:53.640
<v Speaker 5>Indiana returns to come in. Next time, you're going to

0:49:53.719 --> 0:49:56.720
<v Speaker 5>notice them say it. They just watch MSNBC or something

0:49:56.800 --> 0:49:59.959
<v Speaker 5>or whatever or MS SNOW whatever they are. Now watch them.

0:50:00.120 --> 0:50:02.600
<v Speaker 5>They'll tell you. Oh, we're waiting. They're always waiting for

0:50:02.680 --> 0:50:05.680
<v Speaker 5>the Gary returns. Right, of course, they're always that's always

0:50:05.719 --> 0:50:08.880
<v Speaker 5>the last place to return because they need to know

0:50:08.920 --> 0:50:11.799
<v Speaker 5>how much numbers they need to make up when the

0:50:11.840 --> 0:50:14.480
<v Speaker 5>rest of Indiana has weighed in, So they're always the

0:50:14.560 --> 0:50:18.520
<v Speaker 5>last to return. And then you'll always hear some talking

0:50:18.520 --> 0:50:21.799
<v Speaker 5>heads say, oh, it's the bluest city in America. It's

0:50:21.800 --> 0:50:25.319
<v Speaker 5>something like one. You know, ninety nine percent Democrat registration

0:50:25.480 --> 0:50:29.279
<v Speaker 5>is just ridiculous. They have nearly total Democrat support. I'm

0:50:29.320 --> 0:50:31.759
<v Speaker 5>not one to defend the power companies. Nipskoe has their

0:50:31.800 --> 0:50:34.480
<v Speaker 5>own issues, but the reason Gary is still offline is

0:50:34.480 --> 0:50:37.319
<v Speaker 5>because most of the people there keep voting for more

0:50:37.360 --> 0:50:39.560
<v Speaker 5>of the same at every turn. The city has everything

0:50:39.600 --> 0:50:42.200
<v Speaker 5>it needs to be a great city. It's on Lake Michigan,

0:50:42.280 --> 0:50:45.759
<v Speaker 5>has incredible architecture, It's just thirty miles from Chicago. It

0:50:45.880 --> 0:50:48.040
<v Speaker 5>lost a lot of revenue when the steel mills closed,

0:50:48.080 --> 0:50:50.000
<v Speaker 5>but there has never been a good reason for its

0:50:50.000 --> 0:50:54.120
<v Speaker 5>failure decade after decade. It's poor leadership and a disengaged population.

0:50:54.480 --> 0:50:58.400
<v Speaker 5>It's not racism, it's apathy and thievery. We literally have

0:50:58.600 --> 0:51:02.760
<v Speaker 5>no one to blame for gary condition. Except ourselves black people.

0:51:03.440 --> 0:51:05.560
<v Speaker 5>That is the truth that I saw with my own

0:51:05.600 --> 0:51:11.680
<v Speaker 5>eyes that my husband's family lived their entire lives. And

0:51:11.800 --> 0:51:14.480
<v Speaker 5>when I went into leadership there, when I went into

0:51:14.960 --> 0:51:18.320
<v Speaker 5>community service there, I was shocked at the amount of

0:51:18.360 --> 0:51:20.919
<v Speaker 5>people who really did worked in government, who really didn't

0:51:20.960 --> 0:51:23.239
<v Speaker 5>care if the city got better. They really did not

0:51:23.480 --> 0:51:27.239
<v Speaker 5>want to help anyone help the city. For them, it

0:51:27.360 --> 0:51:29.440
<v Speaker 5>was a power trip. And I'll tell you this is

0:51:29.440 --> 0:51:33.720
<v Speaker 5>how dysfunctional government, period is. I always use this story

0:51:33.760 --> 0:51:36.440
<v Speaker 5>a lot when I talk about dysfunctional government, why everything

0:51:36.520 --> 0:51:39.080
<v Speaker 5>costs so much in government? But this is Gary at

0:51:39.080 --> 0:51:42.160
<v Speaker 5>its finest. So for a while, for a short while,

0:51:42.239 --> 0:51:44.680
<v Speaker 5>I did some temp work there and I worked in

0:51:44.800 --> 0:51:47.760
<v Speaker 5>I think the unemployment office, one of the government offices downtown,

0:51:47.840 --> 0:51:51.560
<v Speaker 5>just a few days a week. And that office was

0:51:51.680 --> 0:51:54.840
<v Speaker 5>staffed to the max for a city of sixty to

0:51:54.920 --> 0:51:58.840
<v Speaker 5>seventy thousand people. They had way too many employees. Worse,

0:51:59.120 --> 0:52:02.600
<v Speaker 5>those employees did nothing. They were on the internet all day.

0:52:02.640 --> 0:52:05.960
<v Speaker 5>I would sit there and just watch them just surf

0:52:06.000 --> 0:52:09.239
<v Speaker 5>the net all day. And maybe not even because they

0:52:09.239 --> 0:52:13.600
<v Speaker 5>were lazy, they probably literally had nothing to do. They

0:52:13.600 --> 0:52:16.640
<v Speaker 5>were just hired. So one day I was working the

0:52:16.640 --> 0:52:20.400
<v Speaker 5>front desk and I was in charge of ordering supplies,

0:52:20.480 --> 0:52:22.040
<v Speaker 5>and a guy, one of the men that worked there,

0:52:22.040 --> 0:52:24.399
<v Speaker 5>came to me. He said, I want some headphones, new

0:52:24.440 --> 0:52:27.880
<v Speaker 5>headphones for my computer. And he gave me the office

0:52:27.920 --> 0:52:30.600
<v Speaker 5>Max catalog. He's like, order them out of here. He said,

0:52:30.600 --> 0:52:32.799
<v Speaker 5>I just want to watch my videos. That's what we said,

0:52:32.880 --> 0:52:35.600
<v Speaker 5>I want to watch my videos. Well, the cheapest pair

0:52:35.600 --> 0:52:38.600
<v Speaker 5>of headphones in the catalog was one hundred and fifty

0:52:38.640 --> 0:52:42.040
<v Speaker 5>dollars at the time, that's what was They were professional headphones.

0:52:42.320 --> 0:52:44.239
<v Speaker 5>So I said, this is a lot of money for

0:52:44.280 --> 0:52:46.520
<v Speaker 5>a pair of headphones. Do you want me to just

0:52:46.560 --> 0:52:49.760
<v Speaker 5>take petty cash, run across the street to Family Dollar

0:52:50.440 --> 0:52:52.880
<v Speaker 5>and get like a five dollars pair. How about that?

0:52:52.920 --> 0:52:55.040
<v Speaker 5>Because this is taxpayer money. And he was like, no,

0:52:55.120 --> 0:52:57.759
<v Speaker 5>I don't want a cheap pair of headphones. Order the

0:52:57.760 --> 0:53:01.040
<v Speaker 5>ones out of the book. So I wasn't even allowed

0:53:01.680 --> 0:53:04.719
<v Speaker 5>to run directly across the street pick up a pair

0:53:04.760 --> 0:53:06.960
<v Speaker 5>of five dollars headphones. So this man could watch his

0:53:07.040 --> 0:53:12.960
<v Speaker 5>YouTube videos at work. The taxpayers had to pay one

0:53:13.040 --> 0:53:16.120
<v Speaker 5>hundred and fifty dollars for him to have headphones to

0:53:16.160 --> 0:53:20.160
<v Speaker 5>watch YouTube at work. That's the extent of the corruption

0:53:20.239 --> 0:53:22.200
<v Speaker 5>in a place like Gary. And I'm sure that's not

0:53:22.320 --> 0:53:24.719
<v Speaker 5>the only place, but it really opened my eyes to

0:53:24.800 --> 0:53:27.920
<v Speaker 5>a lot. And even when my husband and I were

0:53:27.920 --> 0:53:29.959
<v Speaker 5>doing charity work there and we were trying to set

0:53:30.040 --> 0:53:31.839
<v Speaker 5>up a charity, we're trying to set up an after

0:53:31.880 --> 0:53:35.160
<v Speaker 5>school program, and we were trying to set up like

0:53:35.200 --> 0:53:38.440
<v Speaker 5>scholarships for kids to go to some of the private

0:53:38.440 --> 0:53:41.200
<v Speaker 5>schools there. We did a lot of work there. We're

0:53:41.200 --> 0:53:44.960
<v Speaker 5>trying to do like reinvestment and redevelopment work there. While

0:53:44.960 --> 0:53:49.160
<v Speaker 5>we were there, we hit a blockade at every.

0:53:50.440 --> 0:53:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Corner.

0:53:51.400 --> 0:53:53.920
<v Speaker 5>There was always some that won there to block us.

0:53:54.000 --> 0:53:59.799
<v Speaker 5>Even the former mayor, Richard Hatcher of Indiana, of Gary, Indiana,

0:54:00.080 --> 0:54:03.800
<v Speaker 5>got in our business at one point. It was crazy.

0:54:04.320 --> 0:54:06.919
<v Speaker 5>You couldn't if you wanted to do something good, there

0:54:07.000 --> 0:54:09.520
<v Speaker 5>was somebody there to tell you around every corner why

0:54:09.560 --> 0:54:11.680
<v Speaker 5>you couldn't do it and why the city did not

0:54:11.800 --> 0:54:14.520
<v Speaker 5>want to participate in it. And every election cycle they

0:54:14.520 --> 0:54:18.840
<v Speaker 5>came out and they say, oh, white people are they

0:54:18.960 --> 0:54:21.200
<v Speaker 5>They're going to ruin this city. Gary's a black city.

0:54:21.239 --> 0:54:25.319
<v Speaker 5>The politicians say that so proudly, and it's failing, and

0:54:25.320 --> 0:54:28.600
<v Speaker 5>it's failing at citizens right now, there's no reason why

0:54:28.600 --> 0:54:32.960
<v Speaker 5>people should be hungry, hot, and at risk sitting in

0:54:33.000 --> 0:54:36.360
<v Speaker 5>this town that is on Lake Michigan, thirty miles from Chicago.

0:54:36.680 --> 0:54:41.440
<v Speaker 5>You should have resources there immediately. The National Guard has

0:54:41.480 --> 0:54:48.680
<v Speaker 5>been deployed, it is I think only about seventy guardsmen

0:54:48.840 --> 0:54:51.280
<v Speaker 5>right now. What they really need is for a full,

0:54:51.800 --> 0:54:55.759
<v Speaker 5>a full accouterment of the National Guard to be there,

0:54:55.800 --> 0:54:58.919
<v Speaker 5>to start studying the streets, making sure people can move

0:54:58.960 --> 0:55:02.400
<v Speaker 5>about freely. Because people can't even leave their homes to

0:55:02.440 --> 0:55:04.520
<v Speaker 5>go get gas. You got to go outside the city

0:55:04.560 --> 0:55:07.080
<v Speaker 5>to get it. They can't even leave their homes to

0:55:07.120 --> 0:55:09.000
<v Speaker 5>get gas because if you leave for too long, someone's

0:55:09.000 --> 0:55:13.279
<v Speaker 5>coming in and taking your stuff. It's crazy, man, But

0:55:13.360 --> 0:55:15.840
<v Speaker 5>it's not the white man's fault. Gary is responsible for

0:55:15.880 --> 0:55:18.239
<v Speaker 5>its own problems. I got more coming up. We got

0:55:18.280 --> 0:55:20.160
<v Speaker 5>to take a break. I'm Kira Davis filling in for

0:55:20.239 --> 0:55:27.160
<v Speaker 5>Tony Katsay. Welcome back everybody to Tony Katz today. Tira

0:55:27.239 --> 0:55:29.759
<v Speaker 5>Davis here filling in for my friend Tony Katz. Coming

0:55:29.800 --> 0:55:32.400
<v Speaker 5>to you live from southern California. So glad to be

0:55:32.440 --> 0:55:34.799
<v Speaker 5>in the mic with you. Tony just had to scoot out.

0:55:35.120 --> 0:55:39.359
<v Speaker 5>Don't worry, I got you as always. Well, I was

0:55:39.400 --> 0:55:42.799
<v Speaker 5>just sharing a little bit of my Gary experience and

0:55:43.160 --> 0:55:46.560
<v Speaker 5>why the city of Gary, it has only has itself

0:55:46.600 --> 0:55:50.200
<v Speaker 5>to blame. You can't blame the power company. I mean

0:55:50.200 --> 0:55:53.280
<v Speaker 5>you excuse me. You can blame the power company to

0:55:53.320 --> 0:55:58.600
<v Speaker 5>some extent. They have a monopoly it. Yeah, they they're

0:55:58.640 --> 0:56:02.760
<v Speaker 5>not the greatest. But that being said, any functioning American

0:56:02.800 --> 0:56:06.920
<v Speaker 5>city should be able to withstand a period of emergency. Otherwise,

0:56:07.400 --> 0:56:10.799
<v Speaker 5>what is the point of your government. What is the

0:56:10.840 --> 0:56:13.919
<v Speaker 5>point the city should be able to rally make sure

0:56:13.960 --> 0:56:18.640
<v Speaker 5>everybody's got gas generators, you know, for all the taxes

0:56:18.680 --> 0:56:21.319
<v Speaker 5>that people pay in that town, and the taxes are

0:56:22.400 --> 0:56:27.080
<v Speaker 5>not commiserate with the income level. I'll say that the

0:56:27.120 --> 0:56:29.839
<v Speaker 5>former mayor or the mayor who was the mayor when

0:56:29.880 --> 0:56:34.240
<v Speaker 5>I was when I was leaving Gary, was Rudy Clay.

0:56:35.200 --> 0:56:37.360
<v Speaker 5>And Rudy in a city that was so poor it

0:56:37.360 --> 0:56:40.200
<v Speaker 5>couldn't fit, It couldn't afford to fix potholes. A city

0:56:40.200 --> 0:56:44.640
<v Speaker 5>of sixty thousand, sixty to seventy thousand people like, it's

0:56:44.640 --> 0:56:50.880
<v Speaker 5>a really empty town. Mayor Clay had a detail of

0:56:51.120 --> 0:57:00.279
<v Speaker 5>three Navigate Lincoln Navigator SUVs and six personal bodyguards. Six

0:57:00.960 --> 0:57:04.160
<v Speaker 5>on the city for the mayor of Gary six. So

0:57:05.200 --> 0:57:08.000
<v Speaker 5>that money is the money is there, it's being sucked

0:57:08.080 --> 0:57:11.239
<v Speaker 5>up by the political class. And yes, they can't go

0:57:11.719 --> 0:57:14.600
<v Speaker 5>and build a transformer, which apparently is what Nipsko is

0:57:14.640 --> 0:57:17.760
<v Speaker 5>needing to do, rebuild transformers, and that takes a while. Yes,

0:57:17.880 --> 0:57:20.920
<v Speaker 5>I understand they cannot go build the transformers, but they

0:57:20.920 --> 0:57:23.520
<v Speaker 5>can make sure their city is safe for Nipskoe workers

0:57:23.560 --> 0:57:25.479
<v Speaker 5>to come into. If you go to my ex feed

0:57:25.480 --> 0:57:27.400
<v Speaker 5>and you read the post I made about Gary, you're

0:57:27.400 --> 0:57:30.880
<v Speaker 5>gonna see dozens of comments underneath saying, yeah, I used

0:57:30.920 --> 0:57:33.120
<v Speaker 5>to work for Nipskoe, or I used to work in

0:57:33.160 --> 0:57:35.480
<v Speaker 5>repairing Gary, or I used to drive through Gary on

0:57:35.520 --> 0:57:37.520
<v Speaker 5>my way to work. And you know when I worked

0:57:37.520 --> 0:57:40.160
<v Speaker 5>at Nipskoe, no one wants. No one wanted to be

0:57:40.200 --> 0:57:42.400
<v Speaker 5>on the crew to go into Gary. For decades, these

0:57:42.440 --> 0:57:44.840
<v Speaker 5>people are saying this. One lady said from the sixties

0:57:44.880 --> 0:57:47.760
<v Speaker 5>this was going on. No one ever wanted to go

0:57:47.840 --> 0:57:52.080
<v Speaker 5>into Gary. That's a complete failure of leadership, right, that's

0:57:52.120 --> 0:57:54.960
<v Speaker 5>a leadership problem. You can at least make your streets

0:57:55.000 --> 0:58:00.480
<v Speaker 5>safe to get people in there to help. So this

0:58:00.600 --> 0:58:02.520
<v Speaker 5>is not And then and then, just now, as I

0:58:02.560 --> 0:58:06.640
<v Speaker 5>was on X. I was reading a post from Justin Pearson,

0:58:07.040 --> 0:58:11.840
<v Speaker 5>who is the weird cause player black power kid from Memphis.

0:58:12.120 --> 0:58:14.680
<v Speaker 5>You've seen him. He's got the he's got the afro,

0:58:15.040 --> 0:58:17.080
<v Speaker 5>and he was doing the black power thing when they

0:58:17.080 --> 0:58:20.920
<v Speaker 5>were redistricting and just a skinny little nerd you know,

0:58:20.960 --> 0:58:24.520
<v Speaker 5>who grew an afro and then suddenly became mister black Power.

0:58:26.280 --> 0:58:29.880
<v Speaker 5>And he's still out there talking even though he got

0:58:29.880 --> 0:58:33.520
<v Speaker 5>redistricted out. He's still out there talking, he says. After

0:58:33.560 --> 0:58:36.360
<v Speaker 5>a thunderstorm last night, one hundred thousand households and Memphis

0:58:36.440 --> 0:58:39.920
<v Speaker 5>are without power, possibly until Thursday. It's ninety degrees outside.

0:58:40.080 --> 0:58:44.560
<v Speaker 5>Another majority black working class city left in the dark. Well,

0:58:45.680 --> 0:58:49.920
<v Speaker 5>he's almost there, right, He's almost got it. Yeah, Why

0:58:49.960 --> 0:58:54.080
<v Speaker 5>do Why isn't the majority black cities that are without power,

0:58:54.200 --> 0:58:58.480
<v Speaker 5>that are failing, that can't seem to rebound quickly from emergencies.

0:58:59.840 --> 0:59:03.640
<v Speaker 5>Is it that there isn't the mysterious force of racism

0:59:03.680 --> 0:59:07.600
<v Speaker 5>from outside the boundaries of these of these cities, or

0:59:07.640 --> 0:59:11.000
<v Speaker 5>could it possibly have anything to do with the leadership

0:59:11.120 --> 0:59:15.960
<v Speaker 5>of these cities. I don't know how controversial I can

0:59:15.960 --> 0:59:18.000
<v Speaker 5>get on Tony Show. I don't want to drive people away,

0:59:18.040 --> 0:59:20.120
<v Speaker 5>but I do think we I do think we have

0:59:20.200 --> 0:59:24.480
<v Speaker 5>an issue black people with governance. And I always say that.

0:59:24.560 --> 0:59:27.560
<v Speaker 5>I always point people back to this little I saw

0:59:27.600 --> 0:59:29.400
<v Speaker 5>this little video when I was in college. I was

0:59:29.440 --> 0:59:31.960
<v Speaker 5>doing a report and I was still liberal by the way,

0:59:32.000 --> 0:59:34.960
<v Speaker 5>at this time, I was doing a report on civil

0:59:35.040 --> 0:59:37.240
<v Speaker 5>rights movement and I was going back through the archives

0:59:37.240 --> 0:59:42.160
<v Speaker 5>in my university of civil rights recordings and videos, and

0:59:42.240 --> 0:59:44.720
<v Speaker 5>I saw this report. I've never seen it again. I

0:59:44.720 --> 0:59:46.880
<v Speaker 5>don't know what it was tucked into, but it was

0:59:46.920 --> 0:59:50.280
<v Speaker 5>Stokely Carmichael, who was one of the leaders of the

0:59:51.320 --> 0:59:56.760
<v Speaker 5>founding leaders of the student led civil rights movement, went

0:59:56.960 --> 0:59:59.440
<v Speaker 5>on to be He changed his name to an African name,

0:59:59.520 --> 1:00:02.280
<v Speaker 5>moved to like Barrier or something. He got really radical

1:00:02.280 --> 1:00:06.960
<v Speaker 5>towards the end, but in the beginning he actually made

1:00:07.000 --> 1:00:09.360
<v Speaker 5>a lot of sense. And there's a clip of him saying, Look,

1:00:09.440 --> 1:00:15.120
<v Speaker 5>I don't think that we should rush into running for office.

1:00:15.200 --> 1:00:19.600
<v Speaker 5>Like we have just secured these voting protections, we've just

1:00:19.640 --> 1:00:23.120
<v Speaker 5>secured equal protection, all of this stuff, but we have

1:00:23.280 --> 1:00:26.440
<v Speaker 5>not been trained in the proper way to interact with

1:00:26.520 --> 1:00:28.600
<v Speaker 5>government or like we haven't been allowed to and so

1:00:28.880 --> 1:00:31.240
<v Speaker 5>we need to train ourselves properly. So that when we

1:00:31.280 --> 1:00:33.480
<v Speaker 5>get in there, we can be effective and not just

1:00:33.520 --> 1:00:36.280
<v Speaker 5>become a part of the organism. But no one heeded

1:00:36.280 --> 1:00:39.840
<v Speaker 5>his warning, and that's what happened. We have the Black

1:00:39.840 --> 1:00:45.360
<v Speaker 5>Congressional Caucus. What the hell do they do? What do

1:00:45.440 --> 1:00:52.240
<v Speaker 5>they do that has advanced black rights, black awareness, black success, prosperity?

1:00:52.280 --> 1:00:54.240
<v Speaker 5>What have they done for us? Every time I talk

1:00:54.280 --> 1:00:57.080
<v Speaker 5>to a black person about being Republican, they're like, what

1:00:57.160 --> 1:00:59.680
<v Speaker 5>has the Republican Party done for you? Okay, I guess

1:00:59.680 --> 1:01:03.160
<v Speaker 5>I could say the same thing. Because Gary votes one

1:01:03.240 --> 1:01:08.200
<v Speaker 5>hundred percent Democrat, Memphis votes one hundred percent Democrat. What

1:01:08.320 --> 1:01:11.040
<v Speaker 5>have they done for you? What have Democrats done for you?

1:01:12.280 --> 1:01:15.520
<v Speaker 5>They've done nothing but just trade on our fears and

1:01:15.560 --> 1:01:20.120
<v Speaker 5>our insecurities and our desperation, and they have brought nothing

1:01:20.320 --> 1:01:24.560
<v Speaker 5>in return. I don't want the Republican Party to do

1:01:24.600 --> 1:01:27.240
<v Speaker 5>anything from me. I want I want them to get

1:01:27.240 --> 1:01:29.280
<v Speaker 5>out of my way. That's what I want. I want

1:01:29.320 --> 1:01:31.960
<v Speaker 5>to elect government officials who will get out of my

1:01:32.080 --> 1:01:34.840
<v Speaker 5>way and leave me the hell alone. I don't want

1:01:34.880 --> 1:01:37.360
<v Speaker 5>a party to do anything for me. And that's another

1:01:37.480 --> 1:01:40.400
<v Speaker 5>part of the problem we have here in this country

1:01:41.200 --> 1:01:44.200
<v Speaker 5>in the black community, because every bad idea starts there.

1:01:44.360 --> 1:01:46.800
<v Speaker 5>Every bad experiment goes there where the Canary and the

1:01:46.800 --> 1:01:50.600
<v Speaker 5>coal mine. Always every bad experiment starts there. But it's

1:01:50.760 --> 1:01:54.440
<v Speaker 5>it's expanding out, just like I told you it would.

1:01:54.920 --> 1:01:56.840
<v Speaker 5>You didn't pay attention to what was happening to us

1:01:56.880 --> 1:02:00.160
<v Speaker 5>in our cities, Republican Party, and you didn't fight for

1:02:00.200 --> 1:02:02.200
<v Speaker 5>those cities. This was going to spread out to the

1:02:02.280 --> 1:02:05.200
<v Speaker 5>larger population, and now it has. And now we are

1:02:05.280 --> 1:02:10.240
<v Speaker 5>facing an election cycle in which the Democrat Socialists of

1:02:10.280 --> 1:02:14.640
<v Speaker 5>America are actually making a play for real government offices,

1:02:14.720 --> 1:02:19.640
<v Speaker 5>for real control. They're out there saying the most absurd things,

1:02:19.760 --> 1:02:24.680
<v Speaker 5>the craziest things. But that's because we have not fought

1:02:25.160 --> 1:02:28.000
<v Speaker 5>for people in desperate places like Gary. We have just

1:02:28.320 --> 1:02:30.920
<v Speaker 5>hands off. Oh you know what, we can't compete in Gary.

1:02:31.080 --> 1:02:33.560
<v Speaker 5>We're not even going to put any effort or any

1:02:33.640 --> 1:02:35.920
<v Speaker 5>money in there. I talked to a guy in my

1:02:36.000 --> 1:02:39.480
<v Speaker 5>podcast once, Devin Jones. He runs or did, I don't

1:02:39.520 --> 1:02:43.320
<v Speaker 5>know if he's still there the South Side Chicago Republicans.

1:02:43.920 --> 1:02:46.240
<v Speaker 5>He applied for a national I don't know if you

1:02:46.240 --> 1:02:49.000
<v Speaker 5>get like accredited or something from the RNC. He applied

1:02:49.000 --> 1:02:51.640
<v Speaker 5>for that to be an official office. They turned him

1:02:51.680 --> 1:02:54.560
<v Speaker 5>down because they said the South Side is not worth

1:02:54.720 --> 1:02:58.240
<v Speaker 5>our efforts or the money it will cost. So he

1:02:58.280 --> 1:03:01.000
<v Speaker 5>opened the office himself and he started basically just doing

1:03:01.360 --> 1:03:04.960
<v Speaker 5>community service. Now we look at what's happening to the

1:03:05.000 --> 1:03:08.160
<v Speaker 5>South Side and all of Chicago. They are being overwhelmed

1:03:08.160 --> 1:03:12.560
<v Speaker 5>by the DSA. Obama came and plopped down a monstrous

1:03:13.080 --> 1:03:17.200
<v Speaker 5>he calls a library. I call it an idol. I

1:03:17.200 --> 1:03:19.400
<v Speaker 5>think someday we're going to find out way more sinister

1:03:19.480 --> 1:03:22.600
<v Speaker 5>things about that place. It looks sinister because it is sinister.

1:03:22.920 --> 1:03:25.080
<v Speaker 5>We should pay attention to how things look and what

1:03:25.120 --> 1:03:28.040
<v Speaker 5>they're called. I think about this a lot. Should think

1:03:28.040 --> 1:03:31.960
<v Speaker 5>about what we name things that means something. But look

1:03:31.960 --> 1:03:34.240
<v Speaker 5>at that we and now these people are desperate. These

1:03:34.280 --> 1:03:38.720
<v Speaker 5>are people are who are ripe for political upheaval. They

1:03:38.760 --> 1:03:42.960
<v Speaker 5>are ripe for the picking. Really when it comes to

1:03:43.040 --> 1:03:46.160
<v Speaker 5>ideas and values. If someone can come in and offer

1:03:46.200 --> 1:03:49.400
<v Speaker 5>a good solution, they're ripe for it. But the GOP

1:03:49.600 --> 1:03:52.080
<v Speaker 5>is not there. Who's there the DSA and they have

1:03:52.120 --> 1:03:56.840
<v Speaker 5>nothing but bad intentions. But we black people let our

1:03:56.880 --> 1:04:01.680
<v Speaker 5>cities fall into disrepair. We elect people who we elect traders,

1:04:01.680 --> 1:04:04.440
<v Speaker 5>people who betray their own people by stealing from us

1:04:04.440 --> 1:04:07.440
<v Speaker 5>and not giving what we have asked for. We elect

1:04:07.480 --> 1:04:11.600
<v Speaker 5>these people, and then when the city falls apart, the

1:04:11.680 --> 1:04:14.160
<v Speaker 5>socialists come in and say, oh, this is definitely the

1:04:14.200 --> 1:04:16.600
<v Speaker 5>white man's fault. Probably what you need is free healthcare.

1:04:16.960 --> 1:04:20.120
<v Speaker 5>Probably what you need is more project housing. Probably what

1:04:20.160 --> 1:04:24.680
<v Speaker 5>you need is fewer police and more social workers. And

1:04:24.760 --> 1:04:27.040
<v Speaker 5>even if people don't think that's what they're voting for,

1:04:27.120 --> 1:04:29.560
<v Speaker 5>because a lot of times these people don't announce themselves,

1:04:29.600 --> 1:04:31.720
<v Speaker 5>it's what they end up voting for, it's what they

1:04:31.840 --> 1:04:36.440
<v Speaker 5>end up getting. We need to be paying attention to

1:04:36.560 --> 1:04:41.000
<v Speaker 5>both the degradation and desperation of our inner cities and

1:04:41.240 --> 1:04:44.440
<v Speaker 5>what the DSA is doing. And I dare say they're connected.

1:04:44.440 --> 1:04:47.960
<v Speaker 5>And I dare say this is all on purpose that

1:04:48.480 --> 1:04:51.480
<v Speaker 5>the people who govern our inner cities like Gary, Indiana

1:04:51.480 --> 1:05:00.040
<v Speaker 5>and Memphis are instructed or just culturalized into decline. The

1:05:00.440 --> 1:05:03.919
<v Speaker 5>idea is that you make people miserable. And I say

1:05:03.960 --> 1:05:05.880
<v Speaker 5>this all the time on my own show. Go to

1:05:05.960 --> 1:05:08.360
<v Speaker 5>Jeskiradavis dot com or go look me up on X

1:05:08.640 --> 1:05:10.840
<v Speaker 5>I say this all the time on my podcast. The

1:05:10.920 --> 1:05:15.040
<v Speaker 5>misery is the point. Miserable people are easier to control,

1:05:15.240 --> 1:05:17.439
<v Speaker 5>and look what's going on in Gary. All of those

1:05:17.440 --> 1:05:21.520
<v Speaker 5>people they're they're lining up for services. My uncle and

1:05:21.600 --> 1:05:25.160
<v Speaker 5>his wife, they're not lining up for services. They are

1:05:25.360 --> 1:05:28.320
<v Speaker 5>helping their neighbors. They're helping themselves. Other people have come

1:05:28.320 --> 1:05:31.240
<v Speaker 5>in to help them, they have had offers from people

1:05:31.240 --> 1:05:35.440
<v Speaker 5>outside the city to help them. That's community response. Gary

1:05:35.560 --> 1:05:38.400
<v Speaker 5>is a broken community. And while there are some community

1:05:38.480 --> 1:05:41.200
<v Speaker 5>leaders who are helping and doing their very level best,

1:05:41.480 --> 1:05:45.080
<v Speaker 5>there aren't enough of them. There aren't enough of them,

1:05:46.240 --> 1:05:48.600
<v Speaker 5>and some of the ones who are helping are not

1:05:48.720 --> 1:05:52.440
<v Speaker 5>really helping because they're just blaming all outside forces instead

1:05:52.480 --> 1:05:55.840
<v Speaker 5>of saying, we need to fix this within our own boundaries.

1:05:55.880 --> 1:06:01.320
<v Speaker 5>We can no longer blame other people. But is based

1:06:01.360 --> 1:06:05.040
<v Speaker 5>on envy. It is an envy based system, and Black

1:06:05.080 --> 1:06:09.000
<v Speaker 5>people we have been socialized into socialism across this country.

1:06:09.120 --> 1:06:13.120
<v Speaker 5>It's even in our churches. It's even in our worship.

1:06:14.240 --> 1:06:17.240
<v Speaker 5>The Black church has been infected with the idea of socialism.

1:06:17.280 --> 1:06:22.640
<v Speaker 5>And socialism is an evil concept and it infantilizes people

1:06:22.880 --> 1:06:26.760
<v Speaker 5>and it makes us dependent. Think about what they did

1:06:29.080 --> 1:06:32.720
<v Speaker 5>with Martin during the Alabama bus riots. That's actually a

1:06:32.720 --> 1:06:36.200
<v Speaker 5>great story of how a community can band together for

1:06:36.240 --> 1:06:39.640
<v Speaker 5>an extended period of time to affect change. Those people

1:06:39.640 --> 1:06:41.520
<v Speaker 5>couldn't depend on the government, and so you know what

1:06:41.600 --> 1:06:44.400
<v Speaker 5>they didn't. They boycotted the buses. How did they get around?

1:06:44.400 --> 1:06:46.880
<v Speaker 5>How did they get through their jobs? People offered their

1:06:46.880 --> 1:06:50.280
<v Speaker 5>own cars, They started collecting money for gas, they started

1:06:51.160 --> 1:06:55.360
<v Speaker 5>private taxi services. They started advertising in their own communities. Hey,

1:06:55.400 --> 1:06:57.280
<v Speaker 5>this person can get you to work. This person's going

1:06:57.320 --> 1:06:59.960
<v Speaker 5>back and forth year and they did it for not months,

1:07:00.200 --> 1:07:03.720
<v Speaker 5>They did it for almost two years before they got

1:07:03.720 --> 1:07:07.240
<v Speaker 5>what they wanted, that was a black community. They didn't

1:07:07.320 --> 1:07:10.480
<v Speaker 5>quit work. They still went to work. They didn't quit life.

1:07:10.560 --> 1:07:15.040
<v Speaker 5>They still you know, lived life. But they organized to

1:07:15.120 --> 1:07:18.480
<v Speaker 5>protect themselves and to affect change. What has happened between

1:07:18.520 --> 1:07:24.320
<v Speaker 5>then and now socialism? Socialism, that's what's happened. And Black

1:07:24.360 --> 1:07:27.640
<v Speaker 5>people in America have become a socialist people and it's

1:07:27.720 --> 1:07:33.320
<v Speaker 5>literally killing us. Now, all right, let's let's take another break.

1:07:33.320 --> 1:07:34.840
<v Speaker 5>We'll be right back. I'm Kia Davis filling in for

1:07:34.920 --> 1:07:38.560
<v Speaker 5>Tony Kats. You're listening to Tony Kats today. Welcome back

1:07:38.600 --> 1:07:43.160
<v Speaker 5>to everybody, do Tony Katz today. I'm your guest host,

1:07:43.200 --> 1:07:45.880
<v Speaker 5>Kia Davis filling in for Tony. I know you started

1:07:45.880 --> 1:07:47.480
<v Speaker 5>the show with him, but you're going to end the

1:07:47.520 --> 1:07:50.360
<v Speaker 5>show with me, so you're welcome. Now he'll be back,

1:07:50.400 --> 1:07:52.760
<v Speaker 5>but he just had to scoot out, so I pick

1:07:52.880 --> 1:07:55.520
<v Speaker 5>up the mic for him real quick. I was just

1:07:55.560 --> 1:07:58.520
<v Speaker 5>looking at X and the break. I don't have this

1:07:58.840 --> 1:08:01.320
<v Speaker 5>clip for you, but maybe you want to go find it.

1:08:01.400 --> 1:08:03.880
<v Speaker 5>But it is a clip of Joe Biden speaking last night.

1:08:03.920 --> 1:08:09.960
<v Speaker 5>He was somewhere, he was in South Carolina and he

1:08:10.320 --> 1:08:13.080
<v Speaker 5>looks see this clip, says breaking. Joe Biden just tried

1:08:13.120 --> 1:08:15.200
<v Speaker 5>to tell a crowd that he closed the border, not

1:08:15.360 --> 1:08:17.960
<v Speaker 5>Donald Trump. The room went dead, silent, even a room

1:08:18.000 --> 1:08:20.960
<v Speaker 5>packed with Democrats knows as a flat outlie. You can't

1:08:20.960 --> 1:08:23.599
<v Speaker 5>make this up. I'm looking at the video of Joe

1:08:23.600 --> 1:08:26.759
<v Speaker 5>talking and he looks as blank faced as you would imagine.

1:08:26.800 --> 1:08:30.280
<v Speaker 5>Why is he still out there? What are they doing?

1:08:30.360 --> 1:08:33.559
<v Speaker 5>I think it's the money. I think they're broke. We

1:08:33.680 --> 1:08:38.040
<v Speaker 5>think of these people as wealthy, but they're not. They

1:08:38.080 --> 1:08:42.320
<v Speaker 5>depend on the ever flowing stream of tax dollars. But

1:08:42.360 --> 1:08:45.439
<v Speaker 5>the Biden's left in such disgrace. They're broke now, so

1:08:45.520 --> 1:08:47.760
<v Speaker 5>I guess they're just wheeling him out. I just and

1:08:47.800 --> 1:08:50.559
<v Speaker 5>who's going to see him? That's the other thing, not

1:08:50.600 --> 1:08:54.040
<v Speaker 5>only is why is he talking? Who is going out

1:08:54.160 --> 1:08:58.200
<v Speaker 5>and spending time, precious time, money and energy to go

1:08:58.520 --> 1:09:03.280
<v Speaker 5>see him? It's so busy. Are do we have time

1:09:03.360 --> 1:09:06.559
<v Speaker 5>to play this DSA clip? Christian? I want to play

1:09:06.760 --> 1:09:10.240
<v Speaker 5>this clip from the DSA Zoom because it's very important

1:09:10.320 --> 1:09:12.439
<v Speaker 5>given what I was just talking about about socialism and

1:09:12.479 --> 1:09:14.760
<v Speaker 5>the DSA coming in and taking advantage of all the

1:09:14.800 --> 1:09:18.200
<v Speaker 5>desperation in these cities. But there is a ZOOM meeting

1:09:18.240 --> 1:09:22.240
<v Speaker 5>the other night, and they really are not secret about

1:09:22.240 --> 1:09:24.800
<v Speaker 5>what their intentions are for our nation. And this is

1:09:24.840 --> 1:09:28.040
<v Speaker 5>why you really have to take them seriously. And as

1:09:28.040 --> 1:09:30.360
<v Speaker 5>you listen, I want you to think about all of

1:09:30.400 --> 1:09:33.640
<v Speaker 5>the incidences of violence you have seen come across your

1:09:33.680 --> 1:09:36.400
<v Speaker 5>social media feed in the last few months, and then

1:09:36.479 --> 1:09:38.200
<v Speaker 5>listen to what they're saying. Go ahead and play this.

1:09:39.680 --> 1:09:42.400
<v Speaker 6>We have seen that the Democratic Party establishment that we

1:09:42.479 --> 1:09:45.880
<v Speaker 6>have has to be ripped out. We can actually start

1:09:45.880 --> 1:09:48.920
<v Speaker 6>to grab hold of the ship of state and steer

1:09:48.920 --> 1:09:51.720
<v Speaker 6>it in our direction, but it's going to be a

1:09:51.840 --> 1:09:52.800
<v Speaker 6>violent process.

1:09:52.960 --> 1:09:56.760
<v Speaker 3>Our country needs to change, and this Democratic Party needs

1:09:56.800 --> 1:09:59.000
<v Speaker 3>to change. I was more than glad to go on

1:09:59.040 --> 1:10:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Hassan's stream. This is we need as Democrats, we need

1:10:03.760 --> 1:10:05.600
<v Speaker 3>to go into these spaces.

1:10:06.000 --> 1:10:08.200
<v Speaker 6>Israel has a plan of creating a greater Israel in

1:10:08.200 --> 1:10:09.160
<v Speaker 6>the Middle East, and.

1:10:09.280 --> 1:10:13.760
<v Speaker 7>Eritz Israel would require Israel to expand quad quintuple its

1:10:13.800 --> 1:10:17.919
<v Speaker 7>size by eating up half of Lebanon, parts of Iraq,

1:10:18.160 --> 1:10:22.280
<v Speaker 7>parts of Egypt, most of Jordan, parts of Iran.

1:10:22.600 --> 1:10:24.760
<v Speaker 6>It's not an accident that the same people that will

1:10:24.800 --> 1:10:26.920
<v Speaker 6>take the APAC money take all the other money too,

1:10:27.240 --> 1:10:29.920
<v Speaker 6>you know where they're messaging each other like, oh, there's

1:10:29.920 --> 1:10:32.559
<v Speaker 6>a war over here, won't that be profitable for us?

1:10:32.640 --> 1:10:34.720
<v Speaker 5>What if we started some instability over there.

1:10:34.840 --> 1:10:38.200
<v Speaker 3>IPAC doesn't care about democracy. APAC cares about what APAC

1:10:38.280 --> 1:10:41.080
<v Speaker 3>cares about, which is the corporate interest, the billionaire class

1:10:41.080 --> 1:10:45.040
<v Speaker 3>in perpetuating this US colony in the Middle East that

1:10:45.160 --> 1:10:47.839
<v Speaker 3>is only able to exist with our taxpayer support.

1:10:50.880 --> 1:10:55.320
<v Speaker 5>I mean, if you wonder why anti Semitism is spreading

1:10:55.400 --> 1:10:58.639
<v Speaker 5>so fast in this country, here it is. And it's

1:10:58.680 --> 1:11:01.599
<v Speaker 5>not just the Democrats social right, it's the Muslims. It's

1:11:01.680 --> 1:11:05.240
<v Speaker 5>Islam that we've been letting, you know, seep into our

1:11:05.280 --> 1:11:08.839
<v Speaker 5>country for since nine to eleven. Really, and that comes

1:11:08.840 --> 1:11:12.400
<v Speaker 5>with anti Semitism, but also so does the violent so

1:11:12.479 --> 1:11:16.599
<v Speaker 5>does the message and the culture of violence. So when

1:11:16.600 --> 1:11:20.360
<v Speaker 5>you look around and you feel like things are deteriorating,

1:11:21.080 --> 1:11:26.440
<v Speaker 5>that's on purpose. The misery is the point. Stay vigilant.

1:11:26.600 --> 1:11:28.760
<v Speaker 5>All right, let's take a break. I'll be back in

1:11:28.800 --> 1:11:30.560
<v Speaker 5>the next hour with much more. I'll they taking me

1:11:30.680 --> 1:11:32.720
<v Speaker 5>all the way home. I'm Kia Davis filling in for

1:11:32.800 --> 1:11:46.400
<v Speaker 5>Tony Kats and you're listening to Tony Cats Today.

1:11:51.800 --> 1:11:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Live from the Heartlier and the Crossroads of America.

1:11:57.160 --> 1:12:00.479
<v Speaker 2>It's Tony Cats Today.

1:12:01.680 --> 1:12:05.680
<v Speaker 5>Welcome back everybody to Tony Katz Today. We're in the

1:12:05.720 --> 1:12:09.320
<v Speaker 5>third hour. Kiraa Davis taken over for my friend Tony.

1:12:09.479 --> 1:12:11.600
<v Speaker 5>Had to run out really quick, but don't worry. I

1:12:11.640 --> 1:12:14.760
<v Speaker 5>got you. I'm not sitting in the crossroads of America.

1:12:15.040 --> 1:12:20.479
<v Speaker 5>I'm in like America's armpit, the left coast, California. But

1:12:20.560 --> 1:12:23.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm so happy to be here on this mic with

1:12:23.080 --> 1:12:25.320
<v Speaker 5>you guys. I'm always willing to step in and help

1:12:25.360 --> 1:12:28.640
<v Speaker 5>my friend, of course. Go find me online at Eskiradavis

1:12:28.720 --> 1:12:32.720
<v Speaker 5>dot com. By my book Drawing Lines, Why Conservatives must

1:12:32.760 --> 1:12:37.600
<v Speaker 5>begin to battle fiercely in the arena of ideas. I

1:12:37.640 --> 1:12:40.320
<v Speaker 5>want to switch gears a little bit. Here. I was

1:12:41.160 --> 1:12:45.320
<v Speaker 5>trolling backs like I pretty much do every day. And

1:12:45.840 --> 1:12:50.600
<v Speaker 5>I saw this clip of Mike Pence and he was

1:12:50.640 --> 1:12:53.120
<v Speaker 5>giving an interview. I think he was on CNN with

1:12:53.200 --> 1:12:56.759
<v Speaker 5>Dana Bash. This is what Pence does now, He goes

1:12:56.800 --> 1:13:00.519
<v Speaker 5>to the liberal channels. This is how you know he's

1:13:00.560 --> 1:13:03.200
<v Speaker 5>sus to me, because he really has become a liberal

1:13:03.280 --> 1:13:08.600
<v Speaker 5>media darling, and that's very disappointing. I gotta say I

1:13:08.720 --> 1:13:10.599
<v Speaker 5>was a you know, I'll admit I was a big

1:13:10.680 --> 1:13:13.519
<v Speaker 5>Mic Pence fan early on. A lot of you all

1:13:13.560 --> 1:13:16.000
<v Speaker 5>didn't feel the same way. I didn't really listen to you.

1:13:16.479 --> 1:13:20.880
<v Speaker 5>But he was on with uh. He was on with

1:13:21.000 --> 1:13:26.000
<v Speaker 5>Danna on CNN and she asked him about an incident,

1:13:26.080 --> 1:13:29.080
<v Speaker 5>a moment when he was in office as vice president

1:13:29.439 --> 1:13:35.000
<v Speaker 5>where he affirmed the gender of a transgender CIA officer,

1:13:35.120 --> 1:13:38.799
<v Speaker 5>and she was just that was a lovely, heartwarming story,

1:13:39.479 --> 1:13:42.880
<v Speaker 5>and so he talked about it. I want you to

1:13:42.960 --> 1:13:44.960
<v Speaker 5>hear it, and then I'm gonna tell you what my

1:13:45.080 --> 1:13:47.880
<v Speaker 5>problems are with it, besides the obvious. Go ahead and

1:13:47.880 --> 1:13:49.520
<v Speaker 5>play the Mike Pence clip.

1:13:49.880 --> 1:13:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Quickly before I let you go.

1:13:51.320 --> 1:13:54.360
<v Speaker 8>I do want to ask about comments by Julia Curley,

1:13:54.479 --> 1:13:57.679
<v Speaker 8>former CIA officer who served as your daily briefer during

1:13:57.680 --> 1:14:00.840
<v Speaker 8>the first Trump term. She's a transor. I spoke to

1:14:00.880 --> 1:14:03.639
<v Speaker 8>her earlier this week and she said, despite your different views,

1:14:04.000 --> 1:14:07.840
<v Speaker 8>you treated her with quote great dignity and a big

1:14:07.880 --> 1:14:09.840
<v Speaker 8>moment for her in her life. Was you telling her

1:14:09.880 --> 1:14:11.680
<v Speaker 8>mother that you must be very proud.

1:14:11.439 --> 1:14:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Of your daughter.

1:14:12.280 --> 1:14:17.479
<v Speaker 8>What was your reaction to hearing her say that, You know,

1:14:17.520 --> 1:14:18.439
<v Speaker 8>I haven't.

1:14:18.520 --> 1:14:24.160
<v Speaker 9>I haven't read the article, like I appreciate the kind words,

1:14:24.760 --> 1:14:26.760
<v Speaker 9>but you know, you and I've known each other long time.

1:14:26.840 --> 1:14:30.680
<v Speaker 9>Dally and my conservative values are fairly well known, but

1:14:31.000 --> 1:14:34.120
<v Speaker 9>maybe some people didn't quite know that among our Christian

1:14:34.200 --> 1:14:37.879
<v Speaker 9>values is my wife and I believe in treating others

1:14:38.160 --> 1:14:40.400
<v Speaker 9>the way that we'd like to be treated, with decency

1:14:40.479 --> 1:14:45.280
<v Speaker 9>and respect. And you know, I was heartened to hear

1:14:45.600 --> 1:14:51.800
<v Speaker 9>Julia reflect that that. You know, that was the experience

1:14:54.080 --> 1:15:00.120
<v Speaker 9>that that took place in our office.

1:15:00.479 --> 1:15:02.519
<v Speaker 5>First of all, the church bells behind him, which is cool.

1:15:02.520 --> 1:15:04.479
<v Speaker 5>You don't get to hear church bells that much anymore,

1:15:05.000 --> 1:15:07.880
<v Speaker 5>so that was cool and excuse you can hear dog

1:15:07.920 --> 1:15:15.280
<v Speaker 5>barking in this studio. But what really piqued my interest

1:15:15.400 --> 1:15:18.320
<v Speaker 5>about this was how towards the end you said you

1:15:18.439 --> 1:15:23.000
<v Speaker 5>heard him really struggling to not use the gender her

1:15:23.080 --> 1:15:27.000
<v Speaker 5>gender his gender, and Dana is so comfortably using she

1:15:27.240 --> 1:15:31.120
<v Speaker 5>when they were obviously talking about it. He But it

1:15:31.240 --> 1:15:34.920
<v Speaker 5>made me think about how, you know, Pence came into

1:15:34.920 --> 1:15:38.960
<v Speaker 5>office as sort of the moderator of Trump's moderator, like

1:15:39.000 --> 1:15:42.920
<v Speaker 5>he moderated Trump's personality, and we liked him because he's

1:15:42.920 --> 1:15:44.639
<v Speaker 5>a good Christian man. Of course, we had a big

1:15:44.680 --> 1:15:48.000
<v Speaker 5>controversy about the Pence rule, which is not a crazy rule,

1:15:48.080 --> 1:15:52.240
<v Speaker 5>especially in Christian culture, and a lot of people liked him,

1:15:52.280 --> 1:15:56.800
<v Speaker 5>including me. But I'll tell you when my opinion of

1:15:56.880 --> 1:16:00.679
<v Speaker 5>him started to shift. It was during the twenty twenty election.

1:16:00.800 --> 1:16:05.080
<v Speaker 5>It was not during the you know, the aftermath of that.

1:16:05.520 --> 1:16:07.880
<v Speaker 5>It was during the twenty twenty election when he was

1:16:07.880 --> 1:16:11.400
<v Speaker 5>debating Kamala Harris and the fly on his head and

1:16:11.479 --> 1:16:14.200
<v Speaker 5>I remember looking at that fly landing on his head

1:16:14.240 --> 1:16:16.360
<v Speaker 5>and I went out and defended him. Everyone was like,

1:16:16.400 --> 1:16:17.960
<v Speaker 5>look at this, look at this, and I was like, hey,

1:16:18.000 --> 1:16:20.080
<v Speaker 5>it's just it happens as a fly in the studio.

1:16:20.360 --> 1:16:24.679
<v Speaker 5>So I was one of those people. But internally I

1:16:24.720 --> 1:16:26.880
<v Speaker 5>wasn't ready to say it out loud, but internally I

1:16:26.960 --> 1:16:29.880
<v Speaker 5>was like, maybe that's a sign, you know what I mean,

1:16:30.000 --> 1:16:34.719
<v Speaker 5>Maybe that's a sign. It just felt so like such

1:16:34.760 --> 1:16:40.600
<v Speaker 5>a dark warning or symbol, And I remember that was

1:16:40.680 --> 1:16:42.519
<v Speaker 5>the moment I started looking at him differently.

1:16:42.600 --> 1:16:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Now.

1:16:42.960 --> 1:16:46.040
<v Speaker 5>I didn't understand what the controversy was between him and

1:16:46.080 --> 1:16:49.040
<v Speaker 5>Trump at the time. I'm a lot more informed now

1:16:49.120 --> 1:16:52.720
<v Speaker 5>about the elections process and certifying elections and all of

1:16:52.800 --> 1:16:55.679
<v Speaker 5>that stuff. Now I understand that what Trump was asking

1:16:55.760 --> 1:16:58.439
<v Speaker 5>him to do was to not certify an election that

1:16:58.560 --> 1:17:02.160
<v Speaker 5>was uncertifiable. And here in California we've had a number

1:17:02.200 --> 1:17:07.920
<v Speaker 5>of uncertifiable elections. Almost everyone is and I'm starting to understand.

1:17:08.000 --> 1:17:09.880
<v Speaker 5>I ran for office and I got caught up in

1:17:09.920 --> 1:17:12.639
<v Speaker 5>all of that too, and I'm starting to understand what

1:17:12.680 --> 1:17:16.080
<v Speaker 5>that issue was. So at the time, I remember thinking,

1:17:16.200 --> 1:17:18.479
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, there's something off about Pence, but he's

1:17:18.520 --> 1:17:20.920
<v Speaker 5>just doing his job. Now, when I look at the

1:17:20.960 --> 1:17:24.400
<v Speaker 5>complete one pint eighty he has done, he's not denouncing

1:17:24.400 --> 1:17:28.120
<v Speaker 5>his faith, he's not denouncing christ anything like that, but

1:17:28.200 --> 1:17:30.920
<v Speaker 5>he is denouncing his conservatism. I know he's saying, oh,

1:17:31.240 --> 1:17:35.240
<v Speaker 5>we're conservatives, and we believe in treating people with the

1:17:35.280 --> 1:17:37.760
<v Speaker 5>same respect that we would like to be treated with.

1:17:38.160 --> 1:17:40.719
<v Speaker 5>So you believe in lying to people, you want people

1:17:40.720 --> 1:17:46.240
<v Speaker 5>to lie to you, mister Vice President, because that's a lie.

1:17:46.439 --> 1:17:51.920
<v Speaker 5>What you said to quote Julia and to quote Julia's mother,

1:17:52.160 --> 1:17:55.439
<v Speaker 5>his mother, that was a lie. You were not looking

1:17:55.439 --> 1:17:57.360
<v Speaker 5>at a woman. He is not a woman. He couldn't

1:17:57.400 --> 1:18:00.759
<v Speaker 5>be a woman. Furthermore, that's a mental illness. You shouldn't

1:18:00.800 --> 1:18:03.720
<v Speaker 5>really be in charge of your daily briefings. What are

1:18:03.720 --> 1:18:08.479
<v Speaker 5>you saying. It's not dignity to lie to people. That's

1:18:08.520 --> 1:18:11.400
<v Speaker 5>not dignity. And if you're asking people to treat you

1:18:11.640 --> 1:18:14.960
<v Speaker 5>the way that you treat them, you're asking people to

1:18:15.160 --> 1:18:18.439
<v Speaker 5>lie to you. And I don't want you in any

1:18:18.520 --> 1:18:21.679
<v Speaker 5>kind of influential office if you're okay with people lying

1:18:21.720 --> 1:18:24.800
<v Speaker 5>to you, not just lying to you, lying directly in

1:18:24.880 --> 1:18:31.840
<v Speaker 5>your face. And that particular lie degrades the humanity and

1:18:31.880 --> 1:18:38.480
<v Speaker 5>the femininity and the protections of women like your wife,

1:18:38.680 --> 1:18:42.479
<v Speaker 5>like your daughter. I think he has a daughter. That

1:18:42.720 --> 1:18:49.439
<v Speaker 5>lie is so dangerous. That lie is costing young girls medals,

1:18:49.520 --> 1:18:56.000
<v Speaker 5>scholarship opportunities, their entire future, their entire collegiate futures because

1:18:56.160 --> 1:19:00.559
<v Speaker 5>of that attitude. Oh we just will let boy, let

1:19:00.640 --> 1:19:05.360
<v Speaker 5>them play, let them play, Save the dolls let them play.

1:19:06.800 --> 1:19:10.799
<v Speaker 5>That attitude is responsible for so much destruction. It really

1:19:10.840 --> 1:19:15.360
<v Speaker 5>disturbs me that he used the Christian mandate to love

1:19:15.479 --> 1:19:19.519
<v Speaker 5>others as we would want to be loved ourselves, to

1:19:19.560 --> 1:19:22.759
<v Speaker 5>the Golden rule right, do unto others as you would

1:19:22.800 --> 1:19:25.280
<v Speaker 5>have them do unto you. But you know what I want.

1:19:25.400 --> 1:19:27.599
<v Speaker 5>I want people to be honest with me. I don't

1:19:27.640 --> 1:19:31.160
<v Speaker 5>want people lying to my base or pandering to me

1:19:32.720 --> 1:19:36.320
<v Speaker 5>either so they can keep me quiet or keep me satiated.

1:19:36.840 --> 1:19:38.960
<v Speaker 5>I don't want that. Why do you want that that

1:19:39.080 --> 1:19:42.479
<v Speaker 5>fly on his head that was a bell weather, that

1:19:42.760 --> 1:19:47.000
<v Speaker 5>was a symbol, that was an omen Because that is

1:19:47.040 --> 1:19:52.400
<v Speaker 5>an explicitly anti Christian attitude, that's an explicitly anti God

1:19:52.560 --> 1:19:58.400
<v Speaker 5>attitude to a firm a man to pretend a man

1:19:59.240 --> 1:20:02.599
<v Speaker 5>is a woman, and then to extend that pretense to

1:20:02.680 --> 1:20:08.520
<v Speaker 5>his mother as an official officer of the United States,

1:20:08.800 --> 1:20:12.760
<v Speaker 5>that is, it's beyond the pale to me, and I

1:20:12.840 --> 1:20:17.280
<v Speaker 5>regret ever really supporting Mike Penn's I was wrong about him,

1:20:17.920 --> 1:20:20.080
<v Speaker 5>you know, And he's really taught me a lot about

1:20:20.200 --> 1:20:23.680
<v Speaker 5>just being skeptical period. And I guess I should thank

1:20:23.760 --> 1:20:26.960
<v Speaker 5>him because I'm able to look I love Trump as

1:20:27.000 --> 1:20:30.360
<v Speaker 5>a president. I have some issues here and there, obviously,

1:20:31.000 --> 1:20:35.880
<v Speaker 5>but you know, it's tempting to want to jump on

1:20:35.920 --> 1:20:38.880
<v Speaker 5>that Maga bandwagon and just be all in raw raw.

1:20:38.920 --> 1:20:42.200
<v Speaker 5>But Mike Pence has taught me to be skeptical, more

1:20:42.200 --> 1:20:45.000
<v Speaker 5>skeptical than I have been in the past, so I'll

1:20:45.000 --> 1:20:48.800
<v Speaker 5>thank him for that. But otherwise he's been nothing but

1:20:48.840 --> 1:20:51.960
<v Speaker 5>a detriment to the legacy of conservatism. And the fact

1:20:51.960 --> 1:20:56.000
<v Speaker 5>that he's just palin it up over there on CNN,

1:20:57.280 --> 1:21:00.080
<v Speaker 5>that they just the fact that Dana bash is so

1:21:00.200 --> 1:21:03.800
<v Speaker 5>nice to him and just giving him the opportunity to

1:21:03.840 --> 1:21:07.400
<v Speaker 5>prove he's one of us. That should tell you a lot.

1:21:07.720 --> 1:21:12.679
<v Speaker 5>That should tell you a lot. It's like when I'll

1:21:12.680 --> 1:21:18.360
<v Speaker 5>tell you when Rudy Giuliani during I mean, he was

1:21:18.400 --> 1:21:22.479
<v Speaker 5>treated very unfairly, I believe that, but Rudy's got his

1:21:22.560 --> 1:21:25.320
<v Speaker 5>own issues. And when we saw that image of him

1:21:25.360 --> 1:21:28.519
<v Speaker 5>sweating in court and the die dripping down his head,

1:21:28.560 --> 1:21:31.840
<v Speaker 5>I felt like that was another symbolic moment too. That

1:21:32.040 --> 1:21:34.080
<v Speaker 5>was the moment I realized Trump was going to lose.

1:21:34.280 --> 1:21:37.040
<v Speaker 5>Actually there was no way to dig out of this,

1:21:37.640 --> 1:21:43.639
<v Speaker 5>that his team was not prepared for whatever was going on,

1:21:44.120 --> 1:21:46.599
<v Speaker 5>and that maybe that there even was some corruption in

1:21:46.640 --> 1:21:48.320
<v Speaker 5>his team as well, and I'm sure there was, But

1:21:48.600 --> 1:21:51.200
<v Speaker 5>that was the moment, I swear, I swear I'm not lying.

1:21:51.400 --> 1:21:53.880
<v Speaker 5>That was the moment when I realized Trump wasn't getting

1:21:53.920 --> 1:21:57.400
<v Speaker 5>out of the twenty twenty election and that it all

1:21:57.640 --> 1:22:00.120
<v Speaker 5>was really just going to go down the train. And

1:22:00.160 --> 1:22:03.719
<v Speaker 5>I was like, this is very symbolic Rudy's defense dripping

1:22:03.800 --> 1:22:08.000
<v Speaker 5>down over his entire face. So maybe something you know,

1:22:08.400 --> 1:22:11.840
<v Speaker 5>was being told to us from the ether and the

1:22:11.880 --> 1:22:15.200
<v Speaker 5>greater consciousness that we just couldn't see now then, But

1:22:15.280 --> 1:22:19.599
<v Speaker 5>I see now anyway. Boo to you, mister former Vice

1:22:19.640 --> 1:22:24.439
<v Speaker 5>President Mike Pence, Boo to you. I'm ashamed of you,

1:22:24.800 --> 1:22:27.080
<v Speaker 5>and I'm ashamed that you didn't take that opportunity to

1:22:27.120 --> 1:22:30.560
<v Speaker 5>stand up for girls and women like your wife, and

1:22:30.680 --> 1:22:33.240
<v Speaker 5>to stand up for God's creation and the order of

1:22:33.280 --> 1:22:38.000
<v Speaker 5>God's creation. Shame on you. Talk about a Christian. That's

1:22:38.040 --> 1:22:42.400
<v Speaker 5>not a very Christian attitude. Lying, that's not very Christian.

1:22:42.479 --> 1:22:45.320
<v Speaker 5>Talk about being a Christian. Stand up for God's creation,

1:22:45.560 --> 1:22:48.240
<v Speaker 5>stand up for God's values, stand up for the women

1:22:48.280 --> 1:22:50.360
<v Speaker 5>and girls he created. Let's take a break. I'm Cura

1:22:50.439 --> 1:22:52.720

<v Speaker 5>at the same handle just Cara Davis or on ex

<v Speaker 5>at Kia Davis only Kiara Davis. So Canada, let's talk

1:23:20.680 --> 1:23:25.400
<v Speaker 5>about it. Uh, this is a I guess the theme

1:23:25.600 --> 1:23:29.599
<v Speaker 5>for today is crappy places Kira used to live, because

1:23:29.640 --> 1:23:32.080
<v Speaker 5>Canada is on that list. Many of you know, I'm

1:23:32.160 --> 1:23:35.559
<v Speaker 5>originally Canadian. My father was American. That's how I got here.

1:23:36.000 --> 1:23:38.240
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I've been here for forty years or whatever now,

1:23:38.280 --> 1:23:41.600
<v Speaker 5>but once I really originally got here as a teenager.

1:23:43.960 --> 1:23:49.280
<v Speaker 5>Have gone back and forth recently until recently because my

1:23:49.360 --> 1:23:53.479
<v Speaker 5>mother went no contact with our family over Trump, Over

1:23:53.560 --> 1:23:56.280
<v Speaker 5>Trump and this very issue. I'm about to tee and

1:23:56.320 --> 1:23:58.400
<v Speaker 5>I'm not making it up. I swear I'm not making

1:23:58.400 --> 1:24:01.000
<v Speaker 5>it up over Trump and this She's a crazy hippie

1:24:01.040 --> 1:24:05.800
<v Speaker 5>liberal and this issue of tariffs. Okay, so Canada is

1:24:05.800 --> 1:24:10.320
<v Speaker 5>about to get hit with another round of tariffs. Trump

1:24:10.400 --> 1:24:12.600
<v Speaker 5>is not playing games with them. He doesn't like what

1:24:12.680 --> 1:24:14.840
<v Speaker 5>he's seeing coming out of the Canadian government and the

1:24:14.920 --> 1:24:18.479
<v Speaker 5>Prime Minister Mark Kearney. And let me just redo this

1:24:18.520 --> 1:24:21.120
<v Speaker 5>post I saw. Next. President Trump declares the US will

1:24:21.200 --> 1:24:24.400
<v Speaker 5>immediately end all trade talks with Canada after they moved

1:24:24.400 --> 1:24:28.160
<v Speaker 5>to slap a digital services tax on American tech companies.

1:24:28.840 --> 1:24:31.000
<v Speaker 5>This is what we're doing in California. Actually we just

1:24:31.120 --> 1:24:34.800
<v Speaker 5>did it. We just so you know, socialists love this

1:24:34.920 --> 1:24:38.040
<v Speaker 5>kind of thing. We just in January. All of our

1:24:38.080 --> 1:24:42.280
<v Speaker 5>services are about to get more expensive because the legislature

1:24:43.439 --> 1:24:46.920
<v Speaker 5>supposedly elected, but it's a dictatorship at this point. Here

1:24:46.960 --> 1:24:50.920
<v Speaker 5>in California, they voted for a new digital services tax

1:24:51.040 --> 1:24:55.920
<v Speaker 5>is to punish Silicon Valley for leaving. It makes no sense,

1:24:56.040 --> 1:24:58.200
<v Speaker 5>right because you're punishing people. Well, they're probably going to

1:24:58.280 --> 1:25:01.360
<v Speaker 5>go where there's no punishment. But nobody said any of

1:25:01.360 --> 1:25:03.080
<v Speaker 5>this stuff has to make sense. It doesn't have to

1:25:03.120 --> 1:25:05.640
<v Speaker 5>make sense to them. It just has to feel good.

1:25:05.960 --> 1:25:08.599
<v Speaker 5>So we're doing the same thing here. But Trump says,

1:25:08.920 --> 1:25:12.200
<v Speaker 5>writes on true social we will let Canada know the

1:25:12.320 --> 1:25:14.720
<v Speaker 5>tariff that they will be paying to do business with

1:25:14.760 --> 1:25:18.679
<v Speaker 5>the United States of America within the next seven day period.

1:25:19.520 --> 1:25:21.799
<v Speaker 5>We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult

1:25:21.840 --> 1:25:25.080
<v Speaker 5>country to trade with trade in all caps, including the

1:25:25.320 --> 1:25:27.880
<v Speaker 5>fact that they have charged our farmers as much as

1:25:28.000 --> 1:25:31.639
<v Speaker 5>four hundred percent tariffs for years on dairy products, has

1:25:31.800 --> 1:25:34.439
<v Speaker 5>just announced they are putting a digital services tax on

1:25:34.479 --> 1:25:37.360
<v Speaker 5>our American technology companies, which is a direct and blatant

1:25:37.400 --> 1:25:41.599
<v Speaker 5>attack on our country. They are obviously copying the European Union,

1:25:41.840 --> 1:25:44.599
<v Speaker 5>which has done the same thing and it's currently under

1:25:44.680 --> 1:25:48.760
<v Speaker 5>discussion with US. Also based on this egregious tax, we

1:25:48.840 --> 1:25:54.400
<v Speaker 5>hereby are terminating all discussions on trade with Canada, effective immediately.

1:25:54.760 --> 1:25:56.960
<v Speaker 5>We will let Canada know the tariff that they will

1:25:57.000 --> 1:25:59.120
<v Speaker 5>be paying to do business with the United States of

1:25:59.120 --> 1:26:02.800
<v Speaker 5>America with in the next seven day period. Thank you

1:26:03.000 --> 1:26:10.160
<v Speaker 5>for this, for your attention to this matter. And during

1:26:10.160 --> 1:26:12.439
<v Speaker 5>the first round when he first took office, the first

1:26:12.560 --> 1:26:15.960
<v Speaker 5>round of tariff talks, that was when my mother she

1:26:16.000 --> 1:26:18.599
<v Speaker 5>didn't even call or anything. It's the whole thing. I'm

1:26:18.600 --> 1:26:21.080
<v Speaker 5>not going to get into the personal stuff of it.

1:26:21.120 --> 1:26:22.880
<v Speaker 5>Feel free to feel sorry for me if you want,

1:26:22.920 --> 1:26:26.679
<v Speaker 5>but we are fine. But she just sent a message

1:26:26.680 --> 1:26:29.880
<v Speaker 5>on Facebook to my husband and she was like, oh,

1:26:29.960 --> 1:26:33.560
<v Speaker 5>I can't come. Was she supposed to come for graduations?

1:26:33.880 --> 1:26:37.040
<v Speaker 5>We had graduations last year. We can't come for I

1:26:37.080 --> 1:26:42.640
<v Speaker 5>can't come for graduations because the bad Orange Man is

1:26:43.560 --> 1:26:47.880
<v Speaker 5>not very friendly and you don't threaten this is what

1:26:47.960 --> 1:26:51.760
<v Speaker 5>she said. You don't threaten, closest your closest neighbors and

1:26:51.920 --> 1:26:55.240
<v Speaker 5>allies with tariffs. Therefore, I just can't be a part

1:26:55.240 --> 1:26:59.760
<v Speaker 5>of your lives as long as he's president. So that

1:26:59.840 --> 1:27:02.120
<v Speaker 5>was we haven't heard from her since. We haven't had

1:27:02.160 --> 1:27:06.759
<v Speaker 5>a peep, a card, a call, a text, nothing, just nothing.

1:27:07.760 --> 1:27:12.040
<v Speaker 5>So the Canadians are taking it real hard and to

1:27:12.120 --> 1:27:14.400
<v Speaker 5>the point where they're like cutting off family members. But

1:27:14.400 --> 1:27:19.320
<v Speaker 5>the Canada is weird man. Canada's entire identity at this

1:27:19.439 --> 1:27:23.120
<v Speaker 5>point in that nation's history is just being anti America.

1:27:23.200 --> 1:27:26.680
<v Speaker 5>And I just read an article yesterday. They have experienced

1:27:26.800 --> 1:27:31.120
<v Speaker 5>the steepest drop in Native Canadian residents, that's Canadians who

1:27:31.160 --> 1:27:36.360
<v Speaker 5>were born there, Native Canadian residents in the entire nation's history.

1:27:37.080 --> 1:27:41.559
<v Speaker 5>One hundred and seventy eight thousand working age able body

1:27:41.920 --> 1:27:46.000
<v Speaker 5>young adults leaving Canada for greener past years because it's

1:27:46.080 --> 1:27:49.160
<v Speaker 5>so bad there and they want to institute another tax.

1:27:49.320 --> 1:27:52.080
<v Speaker 5>Let me tell you what's happening with Canada. Canada is

1:27:52.120 --> 1:27:55.400
<v Speaker 5>not owned by the Canadian anymore, Canadians anymore. Canada is

1:27:55.439 --> 1:27:58.680
<v Speaker 5>owned by China. This is a Chinese play right, and

1:27:58.720 --> 1:28:00.800
<v Speaker 5>they did it in the European Union two and they're

1:28:00.800 --> 1:28:03.640
<v Speaker 5>doing it in Africa too. It's called the Belton Road initiative.

1:28:03.960 --> 1:28:05.920
<v Speaker 5>But say, we'll come in. We'll pour all this money

1:28:05.920 --> 1:28:10.040
<v Speaker 5>into your economy because your dumb socialism is making it fail.

1:28:10.120 --> 1:28:12.679
<v Speaker 5>So we'll come in and pour all this money into

1:28:12.680 --> 1:28:15.040
<v Speaker 5>your economy. And all you have to do is enact

1:28:15.120 --> 1:28:18.200
<v Speaker 5>every thing that we want. They China can't invade us,

1:28:18.240 --> 1:28:21.160
<v Speaker 5>Canada certainly can't invade us. But what they can do

1:28:21.560 --> 1:28:27.280
<v Speaker 5>is disrupt our economy. And China trades and this is

1:28:27.320 --> 1:28:29.599
<v Speaker 5>the other point. This is why Trump is being like this.

1:28:29.800 --> 1:28:35.960
<v Speaker 5>China trades with Canada. China ships imports their steel, their metals,

1:28:36.000 --> 1:28:38.800
<v Speaker 5>all of that good stuff that we need, and they

1:28:38.840 --> 1:28:42.320
<v Speaker 5>get around the Chinese tariffs by shipping it to Canada

1:28:42.360 --> 1:28:46.200
<v Speaker 5>first and then Canada shipping it to us. It's a partnership,

1:28:46.640 --> 1:28:52.920
<v Speaker 5>it's a communistic partnership. That's what they're doing. We need

1:28:52.920 --> 1:28:55.200
<v Speaker 5>a wall with Canada. Everybody we need a wall with Canada.

1:28:55.240 --> 1:28:58.679
<v Speaker 5>I'm not even kidding. Those people are not okay up there.

1:28:59.080 --> 1:29:02.240
<v Speaker 5>I went there two years ago. Last time I got

1:29:02.240 --> 1:29:04.919
<v Speaker 5>to see my mom in person, and I was shocked.

1:29:05.439 --> 1:29:07.880
<v Speaker 5>I was absolutely shocked when I left and me and

1:29:07.960 --> 1:29:10.639
<v Speaker 5>my whole family left going we're never coming back here.

1:29:11.320 --> 1:29:17.000
<v Speaker 5>I was shocked. And that's why when people say, well,

1:29:17.000 --> 1:29:19.960
<v Speaker 5>we love the Albertans. You know, hopefully Alberta gets independence,

1:29:19.960 --> 1:29:22.840
<v Speaker 5>and I really hope they do. But I don't want

1:29:22.840 --> 1:29:26.599
<v Speaker 5>all these Canadians coming down here. I really don't, because

1:29:26.720 --> 1:29:30.720
<v Speaker 5>even the conservative Canadians are baked and steeped in socialism.

1:29:31.040 --> 1:29:33.320
<v Speaker 5>Trust me, you have a I know you have a

1:29:33.400 --> 1:29:37.040
<v Speaker 5>different mindset when you come here. They don't even totally

1:29:37.120 --> 1:29:40.880
<v Speaker 5>understand the concept of free speech. Even the conservative Canadians.

1:29:40.920 --> 1:29:45.080
<v Speaker 5>You will hear them say but right, they'll use a

1:29:45.200 --> 1:29:48.640
<v Speaker 5>butt when they're talking about free speech. They like the

1:29:48.680 --> 1:29:52.000
<v Speaker 5>Second Amendment, but they still don't understand the total application

1:29:52.120 --> 1:29:54.200
<v Speaker 5>of the Second Amendment and how it's supposed to be

1:29:54.240 --> 1:29:56.680
<v Speaker 5>for everyone and there are no lip, there shouldn't be

1:29:56.920 --> 1:30:02.280
<v Speaker 5>any limits. They don't understand again, because they're baked in socialism,

1:30:03.560 --> 1:30:07.639
<v Speaker 5>and it's really hard mindset to kick, so those people

1:30:07.680 --> 1:30:09.599
<v Speaker 5>come down here too. That's why I went to Portugal

1:30:09.680 --> 1:30:12.120
<v Speaker 5>last year with my family. We went to small chain

1:30:12.160 --> 1:30:15.800
<v Speaker 5>of islands, the Asaurus off the coast. Great, but they're

1:30:15.840 --> 1:30:18.679
<v Speaker 5>having immigrant problems there too. Guess where their number one

1:30:18.720 --> 1:30:23.320
<v Speaker 5>problem is Canadians. There's a huge Portuguese population in Canada.

1:30:23.560 --> 1:30:26.320
<v Speaker 5>The second and third generation are moving back to Portugal

1:30:26.360 --> 1:30:28.800
<v Speaker 5>because Canada is such a mess. But they're coming with

1:30:28.840 --> 1:30:32.040
<v Speaker 5>all their liberal and socialist values, and the Portuguese hate

1:30:32.080 --> 1:30:37.080
<v Speaker 5>them because no matter what's been done to them in immigration,

1:30:37.439 --> 1:30:42.760
<v Speaker 5>they're a very conservative Catholic population. They hate Canadians there.

1:30:44.080 --> 1:30:46.559
<v Speaker 5>They talked so bad about the Canadians when I was visiting.

1:30:46.560 --> 1:30:48.679
<v Speaker 5>It brought me no end of joy because I hate

1:30:48.680 --> 1:30:52.599
<v Speaker 5>Canada too. It's a failure of a nation. It's raised

1:30:52.640 --> 1:30:58.200
<v Speaker 5>a bunch of failures of people, and now it's importing failures,

1:30:58.320 --> 1:31:02.559
<v Speaker 5>third world failures at an alarming rate. And those third

1:31:02.600 --> 1:31:06.000
<v Speaker 5>world failures are stopping there. They're crossing the border into

1:31:06.040 --> 1:31:09.080
<v Speaker 5>our country and then becoming our problem. And that's what

1:31:09.200 --> 1:31:13.599
<v Speaker 5>a lot of this is. This these threats from Trump,

1:31:13.960 --> 1:31:17.200
<v Speaker 5>He's trying to fix the problem. They're a problem. All right.

1:31:17.240 --> 1:31:18.880
<v Speaker 5>Let's take a break. I'll be right back. I'm Cia

1:31:18.920 --> 1:31:27.720
<v Speaker 5>Davis filling it for Tony Kats. It's Tony Kats today.

1:31:28.960 --> 1:31:32.519
<v Speaker 5>Welcome back, everybody. It's Tony Katz today. Kira Davis here

1:31:32.560 --> 1:31:35.240
<v Speaker 5>on the mic for you, bringing you home. On this Monday,

1:31:35.320 --> 1:31:38.160
<v Speaker 5>August twenty fourth. Tony stepped out in the second hour,

1:31:38.320 --> 1:31:40.640
<v Speaker 5>so I popped in for him. Oh, it's fine to

1:31:40.680 --> 1:31:43.040
<v Speaker 5>be on the mic. I was reading during the break.

1:31:43.920 --> 1:31:47.559
<v Speaker 5>Excuse me this post from Bill Mallusion over at Fox News.

1:31:47.680 --> 1:31:51.519
<v Speaker 5>Bill's a hometown boy. Bill is from southern California. We

1:31:51.600 --> 1:31:54.679
<v Speaker 5>love Bill, I'll tell you I And he's also very handsome.

1:31:54.720 --> 1:31:57.640
<v Speaker 5>He's easy on the eyes. I'm all right. But he

1:31:58.880 --> 1:32:03.480
<v Speaker 5>was a local report order for Fox eleven here in

1:32:03.520 --> 1:32:06.360
<v Speaker 5>the Los Angeles area, and I first noticed him during

1:32:06.400 --> 1:32:09.479
<v Speaker 5>the BLM riot. So you remember the summer. O love

1:32:10.160 --> 1:32:12.920
<v Speaker 5>the summer OBLM. And he was at when we're all

1:32:12.960 --> 1:32:16.000
<v Speaker 5>confined to our homes and being fined and shut down

1:32:16.160 --> 1:32:19.160
<v Speaker 5>and threatened for leaving our homes or celebrating Easter with

1:32:19.240 --> 1:32:22.160
<v Speaker 5>our families. The BLM activists were just out there in

1:32:22.160 --> 1:32:25.400
<v Speaker 5>the streets willingly doing whatever. And his reporting was so

1:32:25.439 --> 1:32:29.599
<v Speaker 5>spot on, it was so good. He was calm, and

1:32:29.840 --> 1:32:32.080
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know he was conservative at the time because

1:32:32.800 --> 1:32:36.640
<v Speaker 5>that Fox local channels that means nothing, you know. But

1:32:36.840 --> 1:32:39.160
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know if he was conservative or Republican. I

1:32:39.240 --> 1:32:42.479
<v Speaker 5>just he just he got the story and I was like, Wow,

1:32:42.520 --> 1:32:44.559
<v Speaker 5>this guy is dogged. He got the story. So it

1:32:44.600 --> 1:32:47.040
<v Speaker 5>was great to see him move up to Fox News

1:32:47.320 --> 1:32:52.360
<v Speaker 5>the home office. Anyways, he says Fox DHS. This is

1:32:52.400 --> 1:32:56.280
<v Speaker 5>an exclusive. DHS tells Fox News that ICE has quietly

1:32:56.320 --> 1:33:00.000
<v Speaker 5>carried out one of its most successful operations in agency history,

1:33:01.080 --> 1:33:04.840
<v Speaker 5>resulting in the arrests of thirteen hundred and twenty eight

1:33:04.920 --> 1:33:08.160
<v Speaker 5>illegal aliens in just a fourteen day span in the

1:33:08.160 --> 1:33:11.640
<v Speaker 5>states of Virginia and Maryland. Nearly four hundred of the

1:33:11.680 --> 1:33:15.720
<v Speaker 5>aliens had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, including a

1:33:15.760 --> 1:33:20.080
<v Speaker 5>Salvadorian illegal alien wanted by police in Richmond, Virginia on

1:33:20.160 --> 1:33:24.599
<v Speaker 5>a murder warrant. Other targets included aliens with rap sheets

1:33:24.600 --> 1:33:27.640
<v Speaker 5>for attempted murder and rape, as well as convictions for

1:33:27.720 --> 1:33:32.879
<v Speaker 5>sexual battery, kidnapping, robbery, and DWI. The operation primarily targeted

1:33:32.880 --> 1:33:37.519
<v Speaker 5>the sanctuary jurisdiction suburbs in Virginia and Maryland around Washington, DC.

1:33:38.000 --> 1:33:42.640
<v Speaker 5>And ICE arrested anyone in the US illegally, regardless of

1:33:42.840 --> 1:33:47.320
<v Speaker 5>any criminal history. So we're finally to the point in

1:33:47.320 --> 1:33:49.799
<v Speaker 5>the timeline that the liberals were all freaked out about

1:33:50.160 --> 1:33:52.920
<v Speaker 5>and lying about in the beginning. We're finally here when

1:33:52.920 --> 1:33:55.120
<v Speaker 5>they were like, oh, said the worst first, but you're

1:33:55.160 --> 1:33:57.760
<v Speaker 5>just picking up everyone, And Trump was like, no, we're

1:33:57.760 --> 1:34:02.040
<v Speaker 5>picking up the worst first, but everybody. So I hope

1:34:02.080 --> 1:34:05.840
<v Speaker 5>you're happy. I'm happy. We need more. We obviously need more.

1:34:05.880 --> 1:34:07.639
<v Speaker 5>I think this is a man power issue. I think

1:34:07.680 --> 1:34:11.320
<v Speaker 5>ICE is willing to They're funded now through twenty nine.

1:34:11.640 --> 1:34:13.840
<v Speaker 5>They're willing to deport as many people as they can

1:34:13.840 --> 1:34:16.439
<v Speaker 5>get their hands on. They need the man power. If

1:34:16.479 --> 1:34:20.400
<v Speaker 5>you are a young man or women or woman, I

1:34:20.439 --> 1:34:22.559
<v Speaker 5>don't think women should be on the front lines of

1:34:22.640 --> 1:34:25.920
<v Speaker 5>law enforcement. So I'm going to discourage women who want

1:34:25.920 --> 1:34:28.479
<v Speaker 5>to do that. Is that controversial. I don't think it

1:34:28.520 --> 1:34:30.559
<v Speaker 5>should be. Because if you're like me and your doom

1:34:30.600 --> 1:34:32.559
<v Speaker 5>scrolling at night and you get caught up in the

1:34:33.439 --> 1:34:37.559
<v Speaker 5>police confrontation videos with like unruly suspects, I can't tell you.

1:34:37.600 --> 1:34:39.839
<v Speaker 5>I'm in the hundreds now of clips up I've watched

1:34:40.240 --> 1:34:44.720
<v Speaker 5>of female police officers who cannot control a suspect, not

1:34:44.840 --> 1:34:46.960
<v Speaker 5>because they don't want to or because they're bad at

1:34:47.000 --> 1:34:50.320
<v Speaker 5>their job, but they're weak. I've watched men just pull

1:34:50.400 --> 1:34:53.240
<v Speaker 5>away from them and run away. I watched one encounter

1:34:53.320 --> 1:34:55.639
<v Speaker 5>the other day where it was a female and her

1:34:56.000 --> 1:34:59.840
<v Speaker 5>male partner and a particularly unruly suspect at the p

1:35:00.800 --> 1:35:04.920
<v Speaker 5>and I think it was in Huntingdon Beach and he

1:35:05.520 --> 1:35:08.360
<v Speaker 5>could they could not get him under control. A citizen

1:35:08.400 --> 1:35:10.920
<v Speaker 5>had to step in and help handcup the guy because

1:35:11.280 --> 1:35:14.599
<v Speaker 5>he just kept pushing a woman off. Imagine her male

1:35:14.680 --> 1:35:16.400
<v Speaker 5>partner him.

1:35:16.240 --> 1:35:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Just you know.

1:35:17.000 --> 1:35:19.280
<v Speaker 5>And actually I did comment on that story, and I

1:35:19.360 --> 1:35:24.360
<v Speaker 5>did get a message from somebody who said, privately, Hey,

1:35:24.680 --> 1:35:28.160
<v Speaker 5>my husband is a police officer, and it's like every

1:35:28.400 --> 1:35:31.200
<v Speaker 5>officer's worst nightmare to have to take the female partner

1:35:31.439 --> 1:35:33.920
<v Speaker 5>because he knows that nine times out of ten he's

1:35:33.960 --> 1:35:36.200
<v Speaker 5>going to have to stop what he's doing to rescue

1:35:36.240 --> 1:35:41.120
<v Speaker 5>her too. So it's just a burden. I don't think

1:35:41.120 --> 1:35:43.719
<v Speaker 5>women belong on the front lines, but there's obviously plenty

1:35:43.760 --> 1:35:47.160
<v Speaker 5>of jobs in law enforcement for women. So anyway, ICE

1:35:47.520 --> 1:35:51.799
<v Speaker 5>is offering I think a fifty thousand dollars signing bonus,

1:35:51.880 --> 1:35:53.800
<v Speaker 5>So I don't know if it's a great place to start,

1:35:53.800 --> 1:35:56.400
<v Speaker 5>if you're just starting out, young men, and you're strong,

1:35:57.120 --> 1:36:00.040
<v Speaker 5>and you got a lot of testosterone, and you're and

1:36:00.120 --> 1:36:03.320
<v Speaker 5>you don't have a lot of fear, go help ice

1:36:04.240 --> 1:36:06.720
<v Speaker 5>preserve the homeland. That's what we need. We need to

1:36:06.760 --> 1:36:09.519
<v Speaker 5>see more of this. But when I read down that

1:36:09.680 --> 1:36:12.320
<v Speaker 5>rap sheet, thank you, Bill Malusian. When I read down

1:36:12.360 --> 1:36:14.479
<v Speaker 5>that rap sheet, like some of the things that these

1:36:14.520 --> 1:36:18.160
<v Speaker 5>guys got picked up for, so they have been unleashed

1:36:18.240 --> 1:36:24.320
<v Speaker 5>onto the population of America for decades now, some of

1:36:24.360 --> 1:36:31.280
<v Speaker 5>them for decades after rape, murder, the fast convictions, all

1:36:31.360 --> 1:36:35.160
<v Speaker 5>of these domestic violence, and they're still on our streets.

1:36:35.400 --> 1:36:40.360
<v Speaker 5>When I tell you the misery is the point you

1:36:40.400 --> 1:36:43.720
<v Speaker 5>all need to listen to me, because here is the

1:36:43.760 --> 1:36:46.599
<v Speaker 5>thing that we're We're very proud to be Americans, because

1:36:46.640 --> 1:36:48.640
<v Speaker 5>we have a lot to be proud of. And one

1:36:48.720 --> 1:36:51.760
<v Speaker 5>of the things we pride ourselves on is our military might,

1:36:51.880 --> 1:36:54.960
<v Speaker 5>our strength, and our Second Amendment. And come and take it,

1:36:55.000 --> 1:36:57.519
<v Speaker 5>and you know we're not you're No one can defeat

1:36:57.560 --> 1:37:00.479
<v Speaker 5>our military if we don't want to be defeated. No

1:37:00.520 --> 1:37:04.800
<v Speaker 5>one can defeat our innovation, no one can defeat our economy.

1:37:04.920 --> 1:37:07.439
<v Speaker 5>Yet You know, we have so much to be proud of,

1:37:07.479 --> 1:37:11.240
<v Speaker 5>and we brag about so much of this stuff, but

1:37:13.520 --> 1:37:17.559
<v Speaker 5>then we focus on that part our physical might, our

1:37:17.600 --> 1:37:21.200
<v Speaker 5>economic might, and we don't realize that the enemy has plans.

1:37:21.240 --> 1:37:24.600
<v Speaker 5>They're smart too, They're not all total idiots. They know

1:37:24.800 --> 1:37:30.040
<v Speaker 5>we can't be toppled by a military coup. I dare

1:37:30.120 --> 1:37:33.000
<v Speaker 5>say the Biden administration was the closest thing to a coup,

1:37:33.080 --> 1:37:34.720
<v Speaker 5>and I think it actually was a coup that we

1:37:35.000 --> 1:37:37.519
<v Speaker 5>have ever gotten in this country. But the idea of

1:37:37.600 --> 1:37:40.200
<v Speaker 5>China marching in with military and taking over this country,

1:37:40.240 --> 1:37:44.560
<v Speaker 5>that's not going to happen. The idea of the leftist

1:37:45.120 --> 1:37:49.400
<v Speaker 5>DSA members and communists who have taken over the Democrat

1:37:49.439 --> 1:37:52.719
<v Speaker 5>Party and are now sitting in our government. The idea

1:37:52.800 --> 1:37:55.759
<v Speaker 5>of them suddenly taking away the Second Amendment. They try

1:37:55.800 --> 1:37:57.880
<v Speaker 5>so hard, don't they, But they can't take it away.

1:37:57.920 --> 1:37:59.920
<v Speaker 5>The First Amendment. They try so hard, don't they, But

1:38:00.040 --> 1:38:02.920
<v Speaker 5>they can't. They have not been able to be successful

1:38:02.960 --> 1:38:03.280
<v Speaker 5>in that.

1:38:04.040 --> 1:38:04.599
<v Speaker 2>So how do.

1:38:04.600 --> 1:38:09.679
<v Speaker 5>They do it? They unleash the lawless to punish the lawful.

1:38:10.800 --> 1:38:14.000
<v Speaker 5>The government, the people in government who hate you, the

1:38:14.040 --> 1:38:19.639
<v Speaker 5>bureaucrats who hate you, You, the taxpayer, they cannot take

1:38:19.680 --> 1:38:23.160
<v Speaker 5>away your First Amendment or Second Amendment rights. They cannot

1:38:23.200 --> 1:38:29.880
<v Speaker 5>defeat America militarily. They cannot defeat the values and ideals

1:38:29.920 --> 1:38:33.800
<v Speaker 5>and institutions that made this country great in the first place.

1:38:33.880 --> 1:38:38.560
<v Speaker 5>They can't do it with might, So they have to

1:38:39.080 --> 1:38:42.400
<v Speaker 5>do it with They have to do it with ideas,

1:38:42.479 --> 1:38:46.160
<v Speaker 5>and they have to do it by letting the letting

1:38:46.280 --> 1:38:50.639
<v Speaker 5>the crazy people do what they can't do legally. That's

1:38:50.720 --> 1:38:53.320
<v Speaker 5>why BLM, just to go back the callback to that

1:38:53.360 --> 1:38:55.840
<v Speaker 5>point I made earlier. That's why BLM was allowed to

1:38:55.880 --> 1:38:58.200
<v Speaker 5>be out there in the streets, burning stuff down, burning

1:38:58.240 --> 1:39:01.120
<v Speaker 5>statues down, burning churches. They're still burning churches, by the way,

1:39:01.680 --> 1:39:04.840
<v Speaker 5>burning churches. That's why they were allowed to be out there.

1:39:04.880 --> 1:39:07.200
<v Speaker 5>That's why they opened the borders and let all of

1:39:07.240 --> 1:39:10.240
<v Speaker 5>these people stream in. That's why when they picked up

1:39:10.240 --> 1:39:13.120
<v Speaker 5>an illegal alien on something horrific like rape or murder

1:39:13.160 --> 1:39:17.160
<v Speaker 5>of a baby, they let that person go. That person

1:39:17.280 --> 1:39:20.040
<v Speaker 5>is your punishment. Do you understand what I mean? You

1:39:20.200 --> 1:39:22.639
<v Speaker 5>they're punishing you. They hate you because you're a law

1:39:22.640 --> 1:39:26.120
<v Speaker 5>abiding citizen. They hate you because you want to keep

1:39:26.120 --> 1:39:28.479
<v Speaker 5>your paycheck, you want to raise your own family, and

1:39:28.520 --> 1:39:31.680
<v Speaker 5>you want to have your ideas. They hate you for that.

1:39:32.280 --> 1:39:34.439
<v Speaker 5>They hate you for believing in God, They hate you

1:39:34.520 --> 1:39:36.519
<v Speaker 5>for believing in a higher power. They hate you for

1:39:36.640 --> 1:39:40.640
<v Speaker 5>believing in the necessity of the nuclear family. They hate you,

1:39:42.840 --> 1:39:46.160
<v Speaker 5>and they can't punish you because they can't work. They

1:39:46.160 --> 1:39:48.840
<v Speaker 5>can't have their little bit of power in government, whatever

1:39:48.880 --> 1:39:52.040
<v Speaker 5>it is, dog catcher or congressman. They can't hold that

1:39:52.160 --> 1:39:56.320
<v Speaker 5>and keep that position if they unleash upon you what

1:39:56.400 --> 1:39:59.120
<v Speaker 5>they really want to be unleashed on you. So what

1:39:59.160 --> 1:40:02.479
<v Speaker 5>they do is they allow the lawless to punish the

1:40:02.600 --> 1:40:06.320
<v Speaker 5>law abiding. That's what you're seeing, that's what's happening. That's

1:40:06.360 --> 1:40:08.759
<v Speaker 5>why all this violence, that's why none of these people

1:40:08.800 --> 1:40:14.360
<v Speaker 5>get charged prosecuted. Washington Post just just was ordered to

1:40:14.439 --> 1:40:18.200
<v Speaker 5>rehire the reporter that they fired for saying something vile

1:40:18.280 --> 1:40:20.840
<v Speaker 5>about the death of Charlie Kirk and lying about him.

1:40:21.000 --> 1:40:23.200
<v Speaker 5>Now they've got to rehire her. I hope they appeal

1:40:23.280 --> 1:40:28.760
<v Speaker 5>that even though she spoke violent rhetoric, and if the

1:40:29.120 --> 1:40:32.160
<v Speaker 5>tables were turned, she would be gone in a heartbeat.

1:40:32.360 --> 1:40:37.880
<v Speaker 5>That's why, because the whole idea, all of it, and

1:40:37.920 --> 1:40:40.679
<v Speaker 5>you heard those I played the DSA clip, this DSA

1:40:40.840 --> 1:40:44.800
<v Speaker 5>zoom clip that is that going to be heller. Well,

1:40:44.840 --> 1:40:47.840
<v Speaker 5>that's that's what hell is, everybody. It's not burning in

1:40:47.920 --> 1:40:51.120
<v Speaker 5>a lake of fire for eternity. It's going to be

1:40:51.160 --> 1:40:56.639
<v Speaker 5>having to watch a DSA corporate zoom over and over again.

1:40:56.760 --> 1:40:59.479
<v Speaker 5>That's how. But you heard them talk about, look, we

1:40:59.560 --> 1:41:02.360
<v Speaker 5>have to do this stuff violently. We have to overthrow

1:41:02.479 --> 1:41:08.080
<v Speaker 5>throw these people violently. They the lawless, the gangs, the rapists,

1:41:08.200 --> 1:41:13.000
<v Speaker 5>the illegal aliens, even the lefties who are getting more

1:41:13.000 --> 1:41:16.160
<v Speaker 5>and more aggressive at protests out there, more and more bold.

1:41:17.200 --> 1:41:21.400
<v Speaker 5>It's all designed to punish the law abiding. You are

1:41:21.439 --> 1:41:25.879
<v Speaker 5>the people who are standing between communism and the United States.

1:41:25.920 --> 1:41:29.160
<v Speaker 5>It's you. That's why they work so hard to abolish

1:41:29.200 --> 1:41:32.960
<v Speaker 5>private property through by any means necessary. That's why they're

1:41:33.000 --> 1:41:36.200
<v Speaker 5>always raising your taxes. It's why they raise the minimum

1:41:36.240 --> 1:41:39.679
<v Speaker 5>wage to a rate that no small business owner can pay.

1:41:39.840 --> 1:41:43.120
<v Speaker 5>And then they tell us we have to import cheap labor,

1:41:43.200 --> 1:41:47.720
<v Speaker 5>slave labor because businesses can't. It's all part of it.

1:41:48.200 --> 1:41:53.000
<v Speaker 5>The misery is the point. The lawless are their soldiers.

1:41:53.240 --> 1:41:55.120
<v Speaker 5>That's why they didn't care to deport them. That's why

1:41:55.160 --> 1:41:58.439
<v Speaker 5>they open the doors to let them in. They're your

1:41:58.479 --> 1:42:03.479
<v Speaker 5>punishment and the ultimate punishment is going to be that

1:42:03.600 --> 1:42:06.919
<v Speaker 5>we're going to have to become violent that to protect ourselves.

1:42:06.920 --> 1:42:09.759
<v Speaker 5>You know, not saying go out there and be violent,

1:42:09.960 --> 1:42:12.120
<v Speaker 5>but what I'm saying is when these people show up

1:42:12.120 --> 1:42:14.720
<v Speaker 5>at your doorstep like they did in Minnesota, where these

1:42:14.720 --> 1:42:19.200
<v Speaker 5>invaded total like entire neighborhoods that they thought Ice was in,

1:42:19.240 --> 1:42:21.519
<v Speaker 5>and they're still doing this stuff for the church that

1:42:21.560 --> 1:42:24.200
<v Speaker 5>they invaded, at some point those of us who are

1:42:24.240 --> 1:42:28.040
<v Speaker 5>just law abiding citizens are going to have to engage

1:42:28.080 --> 1:42:30.400
<v Speaker 5>in things that we shouldn't even have to think about

1:42:30.439 --> 1:42:33.200
<v Speaker 5>as law abiding citizens because we pay our taxes to

1:42:33.280 --> 1:42:40.160
<v Speaker 5>not think about these things. It's all on purpose. The

1:42:40.280 --> 1:42:45.240
<v Speaker 5>lawless are their soldiers, and the lawless are being unleashed

1:42:45.320 --> 1:42:48.639
<v Speaker 5>against you to punish the lawless. And this is why

1:42:48.680 --> 1:42:51.759
<v Speaker 5>I feel very strongly that we have to renormalize normal

1:42:52.080 --> 1:42:56.280
<v Speaker 5>in our enclaves again. Renormalize telling somebody when they're behaving

1:42:56.280 --> 1:42:59.920
<v Speaker 5>badly in public, be discerning because some people are dangerous ladies.

1:43:00.240 --> 1:43:06.160
<v Speaker 5>That's not probably an instruction for you, right, but we

1:43:06.240 --> 1:43:12.920
<v Speaker 5>need to renormalize good behavior, renormalize accountability. It at the

1:43:13.000 --> 1:43:16.080
<v Speaker 5>lowest form and the highest form. I'll give you a

1:43:16.120 --> 1:43:19.559
<v Speaker 5>for instance, one day, I was up at the school

1:43:20.040 --> 1:43:23.960
<v Speaker 5>picking up some kids and for the kids, and there

1:43:24.040 --> 1:43:26.400
<v Speaker 5>was a girl. It was middle school, and she had

1:43:26.400 --> 1:43:28.640
<v Speaker 5>a cast on her leg. She was hobbling through the

1:43:28.720 --> 1:43:30.840
<v Speaker 5>door and a boy went in front of her and

1:43:30.920 --> 1:43:33.080
<v Speaker 5>just opened the door and blew through the door and

1:43:33.120 --> 1:43:36.960
<v Speaker 5>then didn't hold the door for her. So I very

1:43:37.040 --> 1:43:39.400
<v Speaker 5>nicely stepped out. I opened the door for the girl,

1:43:39.439 --> 1:43:42.160
<v Speaker 5>and then I said to the young man, young man,

1:43:42.640 --> 1:43:44.720
<v Speaker 5>don't just walk out the door where they're while there

1:43:44.800 --> 1:43:47.519
<v Speaker 5>is a girl behind you with crutches. Hold the door

1:43:47.560 --> 1:43:50.880
<v Speaker 5>for her. And my daughter was so embarrassed when she's like,

1:43:50.880 --> 1:43:52.960
<v Speaker 5>oh my gosh, Mom, why why'd you do that? No,

1:43:53.160 --> 1:43:57.240
<v Speaker 5>somebody needs to remind the kids we need to renormalize this.

1:43:57.360 --> 1:43:59.160
<v Speaker 5>There used to be a time when it would have

1:43:59.160 --> 1:44:02.000
<v Speaker 5>been normal for him to stop and consider who was

1:44:02.040 --> 1:44:05.400
<v Speaker 5>coming through the door behind him. So it's little things

1:44:05.439 --> 1:44:08.240
<v Speaker 5>like that, and it's big things like normalizing a border.

1:44:08.320 --> 1:44:12.599
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's all of that. Renormalize normal because they're

1:44:12.640 --> 1:44:15.000
<v Speaker 5>trying to push us into a situation where we become

1:44:15.040 --> 1:44:17.360
<v Speaker 5>people we don't want to be. All right, let's take

1:44:17.400 --> 1:44:19.439
<v Speaker 5>one more break. I'm Cure Davis filling it for Tony Kats.

<v Speaker 5>I do podcasts, but it's sort of like when I

1:45:34.360 --> 1:45:37.400
<v Speaker 5>feel like it, and uh, mainly my main gig is

1:45:37.439 --> 1:45:40.400
<v Speaker 5>filling in on radio and writing, so but you can

1:45:40.439 --> 1:45:42.240
<v Speaker 5>catch me saying things from time to time. And don't

1:45:42.240 --> 1:45:46.559
<v Speaker 5>forget my Christmas podcast. If you love cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies,

1:45:46.640 --> 1:45:49.800
<v Speaker 5>my bestie Amelia and I have a Christmas all year

1:45:49.840 --> 1:45:53.280
<v Speaker 5>brown podcast called Journey to Christmas Land where we review

1:45:53.360 --> 1:45:56.320
<v Speaker 5>all these cheesy Christmas movies and it's so much fun.

1:45:56.360 --> 1:45:59.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna get Tony on there at some point before

1:45:59.840 --> 1:46:04.120
<v Speaker 5>we go. I do want to take a moment to

1:46:04.560 --> 1:46:06.400
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if you guys have heard this very

1:46:07.280 --> 1:46:12.559
<v Speaker 5>important news and shocking news actually, but Megan Markle and

1:46:12.600 --> 1:46:15.240
<v Speaker 5>Prince Harry are considering a move back to the UK.

1:46:15.320 --> 1:46:17.559
<v Speaker 5>It looks like they are moving back to the UK.

1:46:18.280 --> 1:46:20.240
<v Speaker 5>I don't know how many of you were waiting on

1:46:20.280 --> 1:46:23.040
<v Speaker 5>pins and needles to hear this, but let me tell you,

1:46:24.560 --> 1:46:27.840
<v Speaker 5>Ice is so good. They're even deporting people that they

1:46:27.840 --> 1:46:30.479
<v Speaker 5>haven't tried to deport yet. I don't know if they're

1:46:30.479 --> 1:46:32.759
<v Speaker 5>going to get that three thousand dollars from the government

1:46:33.080 --> 1:46:35.439
<v Speaker 5>to self deport. It sounds to me like they do

1:46:35.520 --> 1:46:37.080
<v Speaker 5>need the money, though I have heard that they are

1:46:37.120 --> 1:46:40.760
<v Speaker 5>in dire financial straits, so I don't know if they're

1:46:40.760 --> 1:46:44.559
<v Speaker 5>going to If they are, I would highly recommend missus

1:46:44.600 --> 1:46:47.360
<v Speaker 5>Meghan Sussex or whatever she calls herself to, you know,

1:46:47.960 --> 1:46:51.000
<v Speaker 5>apply for that three thousand bucks and just to port

1:46:51.040 --> 1:46:52.840
<v Speaker 5>yourselves out of here. But yeah, it looks like the

1:46:52.880 --> 1:46:56.000
<v Speaker 5>Prince and his American bride are going to go crawling

1:46:56.040 --> 1:46:59.080
<v Speaker 5>back to the UK. Apparently there were some rumors that

1:46:59.360 --> 1:47:01.639
<v Speaker 5>she was going to get an acting gig there, which

1:47:01.680 --> 1:47:05.880
<v Speaker 5>is hilarious because you know, that's the reason a royal

1:47:05.880 --> 1:47:07.600
<v Speaker 5>family told her to quit her job. If you're in

1:47:07.600 --> 1:47:09.479
<v Speaker 5>the Royal family, you don't have a job. Your job

1:47:09.560 --> 1:47:12.680
<v Speaker 5>is the firm, Your job is the Royal family. Anyways,

1:47:12.720 --> 1:47:15.839
<v Speaker 5>I just wanted to say good riddance to them, because,

1:47:16.400 --> 1:47:19.000
<v Speaker 5>you know, if there was any better example of why

1:47:19.120 --> 1:47:23.760
<v Speaker 5>we left the British Union, you know why we left

1:47:23.800 --> 1:47:26.800
<v Speaker 5>the British Empire, it's them, right. If you have you

1:47:26.840 --> 1:47:32.560
<v Speaker 5>ever met more useless people, they are the anti American Americans.

1:47:33.240 --> 1:47:38.280
<v Speaker 5>Really they I've never seen people who have so much

1:47:38.320 --> 1:47:42.679
<v Speaker 5>at their fingertips, so much potential. They could have literally

1:47:42.760 --> 1:47:44.960
<v Speaker 5>done anything. They could have been a big influence there

1:47:44.960 --> 1:47:48.160
<v Speaker 5>in the UK, just her as an American princess, a

1:47:48.200 --> 1:47:51.599
<v Speaker 5>black American princess. But no, they had to have all

1:47:51.600 --> 1:47:54.040
<v Speaker 5>their cake and eat it too, and true, no we

1:47:54.080 --> 1:47:56.519
<v Speaker 5>didn't want that bs. Good riddance to them, Not good

1:47:56.600 --> 1:47:59.720
<v Speaker 5>riddance to you, but goodbye, catching next time. It's been

1:47:59.720 --> 1:48:01.160
<v Speaker 5>five teticats to day.
