Speaker 1: Live from the Heartland and the Crossroads of America. It's
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today.
Speaker 2: So what do you want? First? The Iranians putting a
Speaker 2: ten million dollar bounty on Baron Trump. Where do you
Speaker 2: want more tireups on Canada? I mean, it's really a
Speaker 2: take your pick kind of day. And then you're going
Speaker 2: to have what it is that's Scott Best in the
Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary is going to apply to Iran I don't
Speaker 2: know what that is yet. What I do know is
Speaker 2: that the Iranian regime is showing signs of the cracks.
Speaker 2: We can show this, we can prove this. We did
Speaker 2: this the other day. We've got more Tony Katz. Tony
Speaker 2: Katz today, kitt and what's going on? Find everything I
Speaker 2: do over at tonykatz dot com. Apologize for no livestream today.
Speaker 2: I'll make that all understandable tomorrow. But here's what we've
Speaker 2: got going on. You have the Iranian regime saying that
Speaker 2: Baron Trump is fully monitored, putting a ten million dollar
Speaker 2: bounty on his head. It's a New York Post with
Speaker 2: the story quite literally where to kill Baron Trump. This
Speaker 2: is horrifying stuff. You're going after people's kids. It's absolutely
Speaker 2: horrifying stuff. Now you can argue the kids an adult
Speaker 2: and all that jazz, but it can't be argued. The
Speaker 2: only thing they could be argued here is that what
Speaker 2: it is that the regime is trying to do is
Speaker 2: get the United States to stop, and they have lost capability.
Speaker 2: We discussed this the other day when the president of
Speaker 2: Aram Pozzeshkia. Now, I've seen it written as Pozsesskian and
Speaker 2: I've seen it written as Pozzeshkia, so I'm going with Pozeshkia.
Speaker 2: So if I'm wrong, blame anybody who writes things on
Speaker 2: the internet. He just last week when we talked about
Speaker 2: this Friday. Guys, I don't recall, get the podcast over
Speaker 2: at Tonycuss dot com wherever you get your podcasts, and
Speaker 2: you'll be able to listen to it. That he is saying,
Speaker 2: you know, we've already defeated the United States and everybody
Speaker 2: around the world hates them, so why don't we just
Speaker 2: come to a peace deal. And while he's saying that,
Speaker 2: he's talking about actors within Iran and he's saying about them,
Speaker 2: they don't understand this conflict. So the translation there is
Speaker 2: the president whatever is there of the leadership is saying
Speaker 2: to the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the fractured
Speaker 2: and factionalized we can call it IRGC, that they are
Speaker 2: causing more problems for Iran, specifically the leadership and keeping
Speaker 2: down the people and being able to make some money
Speaker 2: through illicted means. Stop it. These United States sanctions. Never mind,
Speaker 2: if they go on more bombing raids are going to
Speaker 2: destroy us. Cut it out, live to see another day,
Speaker 2: rebuild as the Iranians always do, and then we'll fight
Speaker 2: them again. We're not giving up our jihad. We're not
Speaker 2: giving up our desire for califry. We're not giving up
Speaker 2: our desire to destroy Israel, to go after the United States,
Speaker 2: because it's the little Satan before the Great Satan, because
Speaker 2: destroying Western civilization is the goal. The Iranians, the Chinese,
Speaker 2: and the communists of the DSA, they've all got the
Speaker 2: same wants and desires. That's what the Red Green Alliance is.
Speaker 2: Of course, it is the only people dumb enough to
Speaker 2: introduce Islamis to their society is the whole of Europe
Speaker 2: and now more and more of the United States. So
Speaker 2: by saying that Pazeshkia put on the table that sanctions
Speaker 2: and other things are working. We know from Major Mike Lions,
Speaker 2: we know from Stephen Yates that oil is indeed moving
Speaker 2: around the ue in Oman coast. They're on the Persian Gulf,
Speaker 2: which means that the Iranians can't see it or they
Speaker 2: can't get to it. They don't have the weaponry they
Speaker 2: can get to it. We know from the reporting of
Speaker 2: Noah Rothman over at National Review wor at about seventy
Speaker 2: five to eighty percent of prewar oil moving along that coast. Now,
Speaker 2: this will bring us to then, why in the world
Speaker 2: aren't gas prices down? Well, gas prices aren't necessarily down,
Speaker 2: because that's a trailing indicator. Why aren't barrel futures down?
Speaker 2: And that's a place where I wouldn't mind President Trump
Speaker 2: get a whole bunch of upity with some people saying
Speaker 2: what do you think you're doing? Because that is an issue.
Speaker 2: I'm not a populist, but everyone could see that one
Speaker 2: right there. What did Pozeshkia do Now. Pozeshkia, now in
Speaker 2: continued talks, says that the Ayatola Kamane the dead one,
Speaker 2: not the dead one, the dead one. So there's the old,
Speaker 2: dead one that you knew as the Ayatola, until, of
Speaker 2: course we killed the Ayatola or was it the Israelis?
Speaker 2: I don't know. It was Uso as a friend, that's cool.
Speaker 2: And then there was the son who became the new Iyahtola,
Speaker 2: the baby Nepato, as Ed Morrissey would say. And then
Speaker 2: we think he's dead and no one's seen him. And
Speaker 2: if he is alive, he's drooling into a cup. Pozhkia,
Speaker 2: the president of Iran, says of the old ayah Tola
Speaker 2: that he favored backing a diplomatic solution to end the
Speaker 2: feud with the United States. Now, before we go any further,
Speaker 2: can we both say together because we're friends, right, we're buddy,
Speaker 2: as we hang bull crap. That didn't happen, That never happened.
Speaker 2: There's no way that happened. That's a lie. Now it
Speaker 2: is the Iranian regime, so everything is a lie. Everything
Speaker 2: is a lie. We are to believe that the Ayatola
Speaker 2: wanted to get peace. So Pozzeshkia, which is now written
Speaker 2: again as Pozeskian, good lord, with strength, but with logic,
Speaker 2: we could sit down and resolve our problems. Is that right?
Speaker 2: It is better that we bring the war to an
Speaker 2: end now as we are in a position of power
Speaker 2: and dignity. No, you're not. You're begging. You're begging. You
Speaker 2: have come to realize that you are in a worse
Speaker 2: position than you thought. Maybe, indeed, as some people have
Speaker 2: been discussing for a while now, the strategy of we're
Speaker 2: going out, we're going to control the straight, we're going
Speaker 2: to abuse people on the Strait of Hormuz, maybe that
Speaker 2: strategy was not the best strategy. Maybe that strategy is
Speaker 2: a one trick pony. And once that trick is done, well,
Speaker 2: seventy five percent of the oil can get through. If
Speaker 2: we're moving more oil out of the Texas, Louisiana, Alabama area,
Speaker 2: that Gulf area than ever, well, maybe that's enough. Maybe
Speaker 2: that's enough to satisfy, Maybe that's enough to mollify. Maybe
Speaker 2: that's the reason. Even though oil price is the barrel
Speaker 2: price is still too high. The economy, well in a
Speaker 2: bad place, isn't off the cliff. The economy is one
Speaker 2: of the weirdest things going on out there. You and
Speaker 2: I both know in the every day everything is more expensive.
Speaker 2: People are still buying this is like COVID spend all
Speaker 2: over again. We take a look at the numbers, we
Speaker 2: take a look at the inflation. We're like, this don't
Speaker 2: make no sense. And yet you go to a mall
Speaker 2: or any luxury place, people have bags, they're buying. It's fascinating.
Speaker 2: Nothing matters. Now, that's going to bring us to a
Speaker 2: debt bomb. And what's going on with credit card debt
Speaker 2: where you've got one point two to two to one
Speaker 2: point two three trillion dollars where the credit card debt
Speaker 2: in the last quarter. This is not going to be good.
Speaker 2: But while the price is higher, and certainly the left
Speaker 2: has been complaining, and people can talk about affordability from
Speaker 2: now to the end of time, and there are worthy
Speaker 2: discussions within this, it hasn't broken US. Manufacturing is still up,
Speaker 2: and maybe they've come to realize that the economic sanctions
Speaker 2: are gonna hurt them longer. Their philosophy was they can
Speaker 2: outweight Trump, they can wait through the midterms and then
Speaker 2: get them to lose, get them, impeach, break them that way. Maybe.
Speaker 2: I mean, if it's you and me sitting on a
Speaker 2: barcelol having a bourbon, very possible right that could absolutely
Speaker 2: positively be the strategy, no question about it. That doesn't
Speaker 2: mean that strategy is gonna work, and it doesn't mean
Speaker 2: it exists in an isolated way. So this is a
Speaker 2: great example of how media tries to paint the picture
Speaker 2: of here's the only way this happens. This the way
Speaker 2: it goes on, and it isn't. There are multiple things happening,
Speaker 2: and the idea that everything wasn't going to work for
Speaker 2: Trump that was never true. We said it. Of course,
Speaker 2: I disagree with the philosophy. I believe you got to
Speaker 2: take out the regime. It's the only thing that will
Speaker 2: work in the long term is ending this regime, ending
Speaker 2: the Islamist having them destroyed, quite literally, the raising of
Speaker 2: buildings in Iran by the people, administrative offices, moss everything.
Speaker 2: The people are gonna have to do that in order
Speaker 2: to show the end of the regime. That's how that
Speaker 2: one's gonna work. I mean, history does what it does.
Speaker 2: But they were relying on being able to outweig Trump,
Speaker 2: and no one ever asked the question, can they outweight themselves? Wait,
Speaker 2: hold on, I know one group of people that did.
Speaker 2: We did. We asked if he can outweight himself, if
Speaker 2: they can outwait themselves. We asked if the Iranian regime
Speaker 2: can handle this and the answer based on now two
Speaker 2: pieces from this President posess ki In I got an
Speaker 2: official it's with an end, it's got the end and
Speaker 2: there the answer is no, they can't wait it out.
Speaker 2: They just can't. So what is it that we are
Speaker 2: going to see Bessen to unleash today? Because we know
Speaker 2: that this is going to apply to anybody who's a
Speaker 2: trade partner. The real thing to watch is will it
Speaker 2: apply to anybody connected to Do you know the answer? Oh,
Speaker 2: yes you do. I can already hear you saying it China, correct.
Speaker 2: That's where the pressure point comes in China and Russia
Speaker 2: because the word I'm street was that Russia was doing resupply.
Speaker 2: I don't know what else you can sanction of the Russians.
Speaker 2: I really don't know what else that could be. But
Speaker 2: if no one is willing to buy any Iranian oil,
Speaker 2: if no one is willing to do this with a Ran,
Speaker 2: no one willing to do that with the RAM, the
Speaker 2: cost is too high, Well that's what I'm looking for
Speaker 2: in these sanctions. That's what I'm looking for from Besson
Speaker 2: in this discussion. We're gonna find out. Keep it here.
Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz and this is Tony Katz today. So
Speaker 2: gerger LLINs, they're so angry they might throw a silver
Speaker 2: medal at us. Is that too soon?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Yes, no, maybe Tony Kats Tony Kats today, guys. Good
Speaker 2: to be here, Good to be with you. The Prime
Speaker 2: Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, took to the microphone and
Speaker 2: oh he was steaming. But you know, in good Canadian
Speaker 2: spirits steamen, we'll see. I believe that was French for
Speaker 2: we surrender. I might be I might be wrong. This
Speaker 2: has to do with the tariff. So before I mean,
Speaker 2: before the weekend began, everything was was great and everybody
Speaker 2: was they were, they were, they were on the same
Speaker 2: tune and they were gonna work this out before fifty
Speaker 2: tariffs went into effect. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: Canada becomes the Iran of the Western hemisphere. Oh that's
Speaker 2: not nice at all, Tony. And they're like, you're not
Speaker 2: dealing with us as an honest broker. This is not working. Goodbye,
Speaker 2: and they walk away from the negotiating table. Now, this
Speaker 2: was a fifty percent tariff on a whole host of things,
Speaker 2: and one can argue that there's really no need for
Speaker 2: the fifty percent tariff at all, no need whatsoever. You
Speaker 2: know where I'm at, which is the tariffs are taxes,
Speaker 2: and we're the ones who pay it tariff strategically, I
Speaker 2: can live with tariffs as a philosophy. I cannot, just can't. Absolutely.
Speaker 2: I think it's a terrible idea. I think it has
Speaker 2: kept the inflation where it is. It could have been
Speaker 2: much lower and we'd all be better off, not a fent.
Speaker 2: The Canadians think everything is about this fifty first state nonsense. Now,
Speaker 2: if you were to take a look at Canada population wise,
Speaker 2: if you were to take a look Canada GDP wise,
Speaker 2: you actually could make an argument for it. The population
Speaker 2: of Canada is thirty nine point one nine million people.
Speaker 2: The population of Florida is twenty three point four to
Speaker 2: six million people. Case rested. You also have when talking
Speaker 2: about the Canadians, this this fifty first state idea. People
Speaker 2: forget that they are Canadians. They don't appreciate being spoken
Speaker 2: to like this. They find this stuff frustrating and ugly
Speaker 2: and despicable and low rank and low class, and who
Speaker 2: the bloody heck are you? They are taken aback by
Speaker 2: this from Trump. They find the whole thing wholly disgusting.
Speaker 2: They don't want any part of it, and so they acted.
Speaker 2: We put tariffs on them, they put tariffs on us.
Speaker 2: They weren't buying some bourbon, they were buying some other things. Okay,
Speaker 2: this latest round, one could argue, well, this is because
Speaker 2: Canada is not doing enough when it comes to securing
Speaker 2: in the northern border, something called the Swanton sector s
Speaker 2: wa NTN. This is in the Vermont area. And yes,
Speaker 2: it's been an issue Chinese nationals and a host of others.
Speaker 2: But speaking of China, one of the other issues has
Speaker 2: been the importation. We're talking about steel and how steel
Speaker 2: comes in, and we're talking about electric vehicles. China has
Speaker 2: been importing electric vehicles or exporting electric vehicles to Canada.
Speaker 2: Canada has been importing electric vehicles. These vehicles are ten
Speaker 2: thousand percent ten thousand percent rolling surveillance machines. That's all
Speaker 2: they are. They are keeping an eye on you, they
Speaker 2: are keeping an eye on me. They are transmitting back,
Speaker 2: no question. Did I hear it right? A friend was
Speaker 2: telling me this story that Polaris, which sells electric vehicles,
Speaker 2: will not as of twenty twenty seven be able to
Speaker 2: sell in No, not Polaris, sorry, Polestar. Polestar is the name.
Speaker 2: Polestar will not be able to sell in the US
Speaker 2: market in twenty twenty seven because ownership comes from China
Speaker 2: and we don't allow that stuff here Canada. Taking in
Speaker 2: electric vehicles is a serious problem for US because let's
Speaker 2: say someone owns in Toronto or Windsor and an electric
Speaker 2: car from China. Are they allowed to drive into the
Speaker 2: United States? And before you answer, allow me no, turn
Speaker 2: the car around. You're not allowed to enter the United States.
Speaker 2: I don't care what you're re and is what your
Speaker 2: rationale is. I don't even care about your sick kid.
Speaker 2: That's how much we have to say. We don't allow it.
Speaker 2: Our safety and our security that comes first. You know,
Speaker 2: people talk about this America first thing. And I've never
Speaker 2: been a guy who really was, you know, in favor
Speaker 2: of that as an expression. But if we are going
Speaker 2: to use it as an expression as the Tuckers, Marjorie
Speaker 2: Taylor Green, Thomas Massey set want to use, maybe we
Speaker 2: should discuss what it means. Maybe we should ask ourselves
Speaker 2: whether or not these things do matter. And as I
Speaker 2: would argue there's a hierarchy. Some things come first, we
Speaker 2: come first. I don't know there's anything wrong with that.
Speaker 2: So we do have some issues with Canada. I don't
Speaker 2: know of another. Fifty percent tariff is the thing that
Speaker 2: makes a difference. It's now on twenty billion dollars worth
Speaker 2: of Canadian products. Canada has responded by saying we are
Speaker 2: going to add Torris on American good on our goods.
Speaker 2: Dealing with America, darry is going to be a big one.
Speaker 2: Fishing rods, cement wine a Canadian wine. What in the
Speaker 2: world I'm assuming that's syrup. I'm just I'm not an expert.
Speaker 2: And then they're gonna put a tariff on hockey equipment.
Speaker 2: So that's fine, that's fine. If we need any protection,
Speaker 2: we'll just cover ourselves with our gold medals. That's twice.
Speaker 2: That's twice. I've made an Olympics dig and I feel
Speaker 2: good about that. Canada saying they asked too much and
Speaker 2: offered too little. Well maybe, and if this is how
Speaker 2: you want to negotiate, I can't stop them, nor do
Speaker 2: I actually fault them. Go ahead and negotiate this way.
Speaker 2: This might play very well at home, might make the
Speaker 2: economics rough, but it might play very well for the Canadians.
Speaker 2: We don't take no gup from Trump. Maybe Canadians have
Speaker 2: decided that they'll pay more, but they won't bow to
Speaker 2: Trump and everything will be better and they'll just wait
Speaker 2: them out. You know. There's a message in that. There's
Speaker 2: a huge message in that, and there's also the recognition
Speaker 2: that this is the story today. Tomorrow a deal can
Speaker 2: be struck and it all goes away. The first rule
Speaker 2: of trump Ism as Trump wins, and the second rule
Speaker 2: of trump Ism is that a deal can always be
Speaker 2: made as long as that adheres to the first rule
Speaker 2: of trump Ism. Do I think Mark Carney is playing
Speaker 2: this wrong? Look. I think the tariffs are wrong. So
Speaker 2: I think the whole thing is just flat out nutty.
Speaker 2: But all politics are local. And one of the things
Speaker 2: that the Trump faithful and the Maga faithful have to
Speaker 2: do is recognize that Carney owes Trump nothing. He owes
Speaker 2: it to himself to get reelected. That's true of South Korea,
Speaker 2: which I think is more and more upset with what
Speaker 2: has happened with these wargames, and North Korea. That is
Speaker 2: true of Sinnai Takaichi, the prime minister there in Japan.
Speaker 2: It's true of all of them. Don't forget that in
Speaker 2: the great scheme of things. But time has a way
Speaker 2: of changing it around. We might actually I would bet
Speaker 2: money on it. We see that from Canada. I just
Speaker 2: don't have any loans on me. Isn't like the looney
Speaker 2: or something. Their money. All right, We'll betting Sarah because
Speaker 2: at least that's delicious to Canada. Joke people, this is
Speaker 2: a tonic thout the.
Speaker 4: Thing when you hear Kelly Leffler rightfully talk about the
Speaker 4: rise of socialism. One of the things we believe in
Speaker 4: the Trump administration is that the way to defeat socialism
Speaker 4: it's not to throw slogans at people. It's not politician
Speaker 4: talk and repeating the same old thing. It's given people
Speaker 4: a real stake in the future. Now, thousand dollars may
Speaker 4: not sound like much, but you take one thousand dollars
Speaker 4: to a child born tomorrow in the United States of America,
Speaker 4: and you give that child eighteen years of compounding, eighteen
Speaker 4: years of interest accrued, eighteen years of investing in something.
Speaker 4: And that's how we make the next generation of Americans
Speaker 4: have a real state. In the next generation of the
Speaker 4: American economy.
Speaker 2: Now, I have nothing against compounding. I suggest you start
Speaker 2: investing now, ladies and gentlemen. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today.
Speaker 2: I am not your financial advisor. I'm not. We might
Speaker 2: have the same last name, but I am not your
Speaker 2: financial advisor. I don't even know if people consider that
Speaker 2: joke funny anymore. I'm good with it. Haha, teh. Everyone
Speaker 2: calm down a little. But he's he's wrong in the presentation,
Speaker 2: which jd Vance drives me crazy, because jd Vance is
Speaker 2: wrong about in terms of it is not land, it
Speaker 2: is indeed an idea. He's wrong about that. He's wrong
Speaker 2: on foreign policy when we discuss where the threat is
Speaker 2: and how the threat must be dealt with the isolationism
Speaker 2: which he espouses without the utilizing that phraseology, I don't
Speaker 2: think is of value. Not being involved in everything is worthwhile.
Speaker 2: Thinking that you can't be involved in the people who
Speaker 2: want to be involved with you, that's just denial. And
Speaker 2: then this, the way to defeat socialism is not through slogans.
Speaker 2: It's by giving Americans a real stake in the future.
Speaker 2: It's explaining to them that they are their own future.
Speaker 2: So if you say to me, you defeat socialism by
Speaker 2: the government giving every baby one thousand dollars so it
Speaker 2: could be invested. I don't think that swims as well
Speaker 2: as he does. That does not move the way he
Speaker 2: thinks it does. He's got the conceptually, He's right there.
Speaker 4: And that's what you'd got to do if you want
Speaker 4: to fight socialism.
Speaker 2: Give people a stake in the future.
Speaker 4: The Democrats are running a very corrupt game, which is
Speaker 4: they're trying to tear down this country, tear down our
Speaker 4: young people, tear down our military, and what's left over
Speaker 4: with the ashes of what they've torn down is socialism. Well,
Speaker 4: we've got a different approach, my friends. We want to
Speaker 4: invest in you, we want to fight for you, and
Speaker 4: we want to fight for your children's future. We're going
Speaker 4: to defeat socialism by giving you a stake in the
Speaker 4: American dream, and that's how we're going to.
Speaker 2: Win the future. Can I ask what stake they don't
Speaker 2: have right now? They want to live good lives, they
Speaker 2: want their kids to live good lives. I'm asking the question,
Speaker 2: where's how do they not have a stake? What is
Speaker 2: this approach from the Vice president? Because it sounds, oh,
Speaker 2: don't get angry with me. It sounds like it sounds
Speaker 2: a bit like the socialism. We're going to give you
Speaker 2: this stuff, and we're going to give you that stuff.
Speaker 2: We're gonna do this stuff for you. We're gonna do
Speaker 2: that stuff for you. That's what it sounds like. That's
Speaker 2: how it comes across. And let me say again, for
Speaker 2: the people in the cheap seats, do you know how
Speaker 2: talented JD. Mances? JD. Man's a stupid talented You want
Speaker 2: to hear a good line.
Speaker 4: And whenever I'm in Maine, I gotta give Susan a
Speaker 4: little bit of crap, because, as you know, Susan is
Speaker 4: the most independent member of the United States Senate, and
Speaker 4: as the president of the United States Senate, she sometimes
Speaker 4: makes my job just a.
Speaker 1: Little bit harder.
Speaker 4: But she makes it harder because she is coming to
Speaker 4: work every single day and fighting, not for a political
Speaker 4: party or.
Speaker 2: Not for any abstraction.
Speaker 4: She comes to work every single day and she fights
Speaker 4: for the great people of Maine.
Speaker 2: That line is so good. That line is so good
Speaker 2: for the state of Maine. Why did she vote against
Speaker 2: Todd blanche for Attorney General? She voted against nomination because
Speaker 2: she needed to show the people of Maine that she
Speaker 2: was independent of Trump. Everybody knows this. I assume that
Speaker 2: people of Maine know this. You know this. But that's
Speaker 2: exactly why it happened. She needed the out the vote
Speaker 2: Countador was already there. They already knew what they were
Speaker 2: gonna do about McConnell, and that's how Blanche Blanche got
Speaker 2: confirmed fifty to forty nine. Really, shame on the Democrats
Speaker 2: who in Toto didn't vote for him. They were wrong.
Speaker 2: And as for Lisa Murkowski, the Senator from Alaska, is
Speaker 2: always wrong. She doesn't fight for a political party, She
Speaker 2: fights for the great people of Maine. Come on awesome
Speaker 2: line and beautifully delivered. He is able and capable. When
Speaker 2: we get into policy, it just does not connect. His
Speaker 2: policies are not policies that one can consider having great value.
Speaker 2: Because if the answer is you don't want socialism, rather
Speaker 2: you want the United States government to give your kids
Speaker 2: a thousand dollars thousand dollars free healthcare, what's the difference. Honestly,
Speaker 2: what's the difference in the methodology. Now we're only talking
Speaker 2: about the amount. It's the methodology that's the issue, right,
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if you're willing to accept fifty bucks
Speaker 2: to sleep with someone, or fifty thousand dollars to sleep
Speaker 2: with someone, you're still a prostitute. Is that not an
Speaker 2: acceptable way to explain this. I think this is an
Speaker 2: acceptable way to explain this. Do I like the idea
Speaker 2: of being able to set up accounts where others can
Speaker 2: invest in our kids show? That's fine by me. So
Speaker 2: the Trump account concept is totally fine. As long as
Speaker 2: we are discussing where the money is coming from. It's
Speaker 2: not from US tax credits and things like that, Well
Speaker 2: that's completely fine because we're talking about not having to
Speaker 2: pay the government, you keeping your own money. Totally cool
Speaker 2: with that. So maybe that's what he means, isn't how
Speaker 2: it came across across is We're going to give you
Speaker 2: money so you have a steak in America's future. And
Speaker 2: the problem with that is that they already have a
Speaker 2: steak in America's future. They're Americans. We have a steak.
Speaker 2: But I can tie this to President Trump on beef
Speaker 2: imports where he is feeling the heat, and I'm gonna say,
Speaker 2: for the record, I will get him on the show.
Speaker 2: Congressman Marlin Stutsman is out of Indiana. I know the congressman.
Speaker 2: He is not too far from where I work, and
Speaker 2: this is about labeling on products. So there's the idea.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if Thomas Massey had wanted this
Speaker 2: as well, because I've stopped paying attention to his anger, screaming, yelling, bigotry, silliness.
Speaker 2: But one thing I think we would all agree on,
Speaker 2: and as a matter of fact, if we didn't agree
Speaker 2: on it, I would think it very peculiar, Like, regardless
Speaker 2: of party, don't we want products that we buy to
Speaker 2: be labeled where they were made. That's a standard. I
Speaker 2: believe Amazon should have to do this in very large type,
Speaker 2: the kind of type your grandpa can read without glasses,
Speaker 2: Like very large type. It should be easy to understand
Speaker 2: where it comes from, because I think for a lot
Speaker 2: of us, maybe not all of us, that will determine
Speaker 2: whether or not we buy the product, and that information,
Speaker 2: the country of origin information, is hidden from us. So
Speaker 2: Stutsman is talking about this in regards to American beef,
Speaker 2: the beef story, I think I have it right now now,
Speaker 2: and I also have a theory. Tell me what you think.
Speaker 2: You can email me Tony at tonycats dot com. Anytime,
Speaker 2: love to talk to you. President Trump wants to introduce
Speaker 2: three hundred thousand metric tons of ground beef into the
Speaker 2: US economy, not have any tariffs on that beef as
Speaker 2: a way of augmenting our supply and helping to bring
Speaker 2: down costs because beef is at an all time high.
Speaker 2: The reaction has been, what in the world are you
Speaker 2: doing a cattle ranchers, This is just a mess. Might
Speaker 2: be well intentioned, but it's going to exacerbate long term
Speaker 2: stock shortage in the cattle industry. Now, for those who
Speaker 2: may not know, we are at a low on cattle.
Speaker 2: The herd is as low as it's been since nineteen
Speaker 2: between nineteen fifty and nineteen fifty five. That's part of
Speaker 2: our problem. We have not replenished supply, replenishing the herd,
Speaker 2: and that takes time. Just like aging a bourbon. You
Speaker 2: can't rush that stuff.
Speaker 5: All the ai in.
Speaker 2: The world can't rush a bourbon. Boo boo. It's going
Speaker 2: to take it's two years, so it can be straight bourbon.
Speaker 2: It's gonna take it's four years, it's gonna take it
Speaker 2: eight years, or whatever it is you need. It's going
Speaker 2: to take time to do that. It's gonna take time
Speaker 2: to replenish the herd. Trump's philosophy is if we introduce
Speaker 2: the beef, we bring down the costs, and that's good
Speaker 2: for midterms. We also take the pressure off of the
Speaker 2: cattle rancher and allow them to allow the herd to grow.
Speaker 2: The President's argument is a legitimate argument. The problem is
Speaker 2: that that argument is countered by a multiplicity of people
Speaker 2: saying this is not the way to do it. The
Speaker 2: herd may need time, but while you're waiting for the
Speaker 2: herd to grow, you're telling the American cattle industry, the
Speaker 2: beef industry, screw you. Now, you're gonna get even less,
Speaker 2: even though you're already paid, saying more for everything it
Speaker 2: takes to raise the cattle. This brings us into another
Speaker 2: part of it, the regulatory environment around cattle. What is
Speaker 2: it that they're paying for. One of the places that's
Speaker 2: a massive problem the processing of beef. We have a
Speaker 2: problem with not enough USDA inspection plants, and those costs
Speaker 2: are outrageously high, which is leading to higher costs for
Speaker 2: us I'm not saying we should be sloppy with beef.
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about bringing back the slaughterhouses. Of the thirties.
Speaker 2: I am saying, we're making it too difficult. We also have,
Speaker 2: because of war in Ukraine, a very high price of fertilizer,
Speaker 2: which we've been dealing with for five years now. Farmers
Speaker 2: use fertilizer. There's feed, there's a whole host of things.
Speaker 2: So you have these things that are causing the higher costs.
Speaker 2: And now you're telling the American beef a world there
Speaker 2: that they're going to have to compete with if I'm
Speaker 2: out of country source possibly Argentina, other places, and they're
Speaker 2: gonna be able to sell it for less. Now we've
Speaker 2: got to be able to compete. And the next thing
Speaker 2: you know, they're making even less money on their beef
Speaker 2: of anything at all. That is where the pushback is.
Speaker 2: The President is making an argument. But the pushback argument,
Speaker 2: I argue, is the right one. And when we discussed
Speaker 2: this on Fridays this was just coming out. What I
Speaker 2: said was I'm not a fan of this after walking
Speaker 2: through it, and by the way, I could still be
Speaker 2: swayed by talking to more farmers, talking more ranchers. Email
Speaker 2: me tonyatonycats dot com. This is a mistake. This is
Speaker 2: not the route we should go now. Some people are saying, hey,
Speaker 2: it's just for ninety days. A lot of bad things
Speaker 2: can happen in ninety days, and as we all know,
Speaker 2: something that's ninety days could last longer. Because if I
Speaker 2: remember correctly, and tell me if I'm wrong, it was
Speaker 2: fifteen days to flatten the curve. I could hear your
Speaker 2: head shaking in agreement, like, oh yeah, so this is
Speaker 2: not a cut and dry issue. It's a worthy discussion point.
Speaker 2: I just believe that the winner of this and the
Speaker 2: position I take is that we shouldn't be doing this importation.
Speaker 2: We do have to let the herd grow. And what
Speaker 2: can we do to help the herd grow? And one
Speaker 2: of the things I've been hearing from cattleanchers tax credit.
Speaker 2: We'll dig into that in the days ahead. Keep it here.
Speaker 2: This is Tony kats today, read up through fifty Washington, DC,
Speaker 2: Indy Car and it was exceptional that town lost their mind.
Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, an absolute pleasure to be
Speaker 2: with you guys. What's going down? What's with everybody? Here's
Speaker 2: the story. Indye Car decides they're going to bring a
Speaker 2: road race, the road course to DC. Trump wants to
Speaker 2: do it. They had actually tried to do it and
Speaker 2: Congress wasn't interested, and then Trump said we should do this.
Speaker 2: The next thing you know, it's happening. DC gets behind
Speaker 2: this in a very very amazing way, including the Democrat
Speaker 2: mayor Muriel Bowser, who gave the command, drivers to your cars.
Speaker 2: They set up a course. See I thought the course
Speaker 2: had the cars heading towards the Capitol. No, they wanted
Speaker 2: the visual of the Capitol and the background is the
Speaker 2: cars were coming towards you. Seven turns was at one
Speaker 2: point seven miles. I believe it was. It was outstanding
Speaker 2: That town went crazy. They'd never seen anything like it before.
Speaker 2: And one of the things that they did. I was
Speaker 2: not expecting this. On Pennsylvania Avenue, where they had the
Speaker 2: big straightaway speeds of one hundred and seventy three miles
Speaker 2: an hour, people were able to get on balcons and rooftops,
Speaker 2: I would not have figured they would have allowed that
Speaker 2: at all. In DC, they got on rooftops to watch
Speaker 2: and they're sharing video. They're like, do they really know
Speaker 2: how fast these cars go? Now you guys know that
Speaker 2: I'm in Indianapolis. I get to do pre race coverage
Speaker 2: of the Indy five hundred every year. I've done this
Speaker 2: for a decade. Until you've seen two hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: three miles an hour, you don't know nothing. And then
Speaker 2: they're like, oh my gosh, say we know how loudness is.
Speaker 2: This is amazing, as everybody tells me, because I didn't
Speaker 2: live in Indiana at the time. If you heard Indie
Speaker 2: Car when they had Stug carburetors, that noise was heard
Speaker 2: across the state, the ground would rumble and it's loud.
Speaker 2: Now people are like, this are the coolest things ever.
Speaker 2: And the party was great, and there was a note
Speaker 2: to this, like a footnote. There were no protests, not
Speaker 2: a protest in DC. People just had a good time.
Speaker 2: Hole Kirkwood wins. He really did run the show. He
Speaker 2: has been great on road courses and now you've got
Speaker 2: a real fight for the IndyCar Championship, which is very,
Speaker 2: very cool because the spread is like ninety one points
Speaker 2: and that's an easy thing to overcome between Kirkwood and
Speaker 2: Alex Below. Is this going to happen again? That's a question.
Speaker 2: That's a question for IndyCar and no one else, because
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a real dollars and sends thing here.
Speaker 2: Costs a lot to do this. I got to assume
Speaker 2: DC wants it. I'm not. I'm just sure if IndyCar
Speaker 2: wants it every year. But could it happen again? My
Speaker 2: money's on Yes. This is Tony Katz today.
Speaker 1: Why from the Hartland and the Crossroads of America.
Speaker 2: It's Tony Katz today.
Speaker 5: Welcome back everybody to Tony Katz Today. Welcome, Welcome everybody.
Speaker 5: You can probably tell this is Tony, this is Kia Davis.
Speaker 5: He needed somebody to step in really quick while he
Speaker 5: ran out to take care of some other commitments. But
Speaker 5: luckily he's always got me in the pocket. Kia Davis
Speaker 5: coming to you live from southern California. It's always a pleasure.
Speaker 5: You guys know me by now. It's always a pleasure
Speaker 5: to be here. But in case your new year, let
Speaker 5: me just tell you. Want to know a little bit
Speaker 5: about who I am. Best place to go two places actually,
Speaker 5: X at Kira Davis Kiria Davis, or hit up my
Speaker 5: website at just Kiradavis dot com and you'll see all
Speaker 5: the stories I'm working on, all the things that I do,
Speaker 5: and I fill in for radio across the entire country.
Speaker 5: But TKT is one of my favorite shows. So I'm
Speaker 5: not quite sure what you guys have been talking about
Speaker 5: in the first hour. I was busy quickly prepping for
Speaker 5: the last two hours. But luckily for us, there is
Speaker 5: no shortage of thing to talk about it. I'm definitely
Speaker 5: going to start with Indiana, though you guys know that
Speaker 5: I'm from well, my family and I are from Gary, Indiana.
Speaker 5: We live in California. Now, I'm not from there. I'm
Speaker 5: not a native Indiana and but I'm married into Gary
Speaker 5: and we lived there for ten years. My husband was
Speaker 5: born and raised. Their family still there and that's where
Speaker 5: we moved to California from. And as you guys know,
Speaker 5: they're in Indianapolis and Indiana and probably by now across
Speaker 5: the rest of these United States. Gary's been without power
Speaker 5: for two weeks after an incredible storm hit northwest Indiana
Speaker 5: area and just too quickly. I'm sure Tony's been talking
Speaker 5: about this a bit at least, but just to quickly
Speaker 5: get you up to date on what's going on there,
Speaker 5: it's everybody else is pretty much restored around there, but Gary,
Speaker 5: and I think parts of Hammond and Munster are still
Speaker 5: without power. We talked to my uncle a third family
Speaker 5: member who's a senior citizen. My aunt and uncle lived
Speaker 5: there and we they're seniors, were like, how are you
Speaker 5: guys doing? And my uncle said, we have no intention
Speaker 5: of leaving. Or it's summertime there, y'all. There's no ac
Speaker 5: no fans. You know, it's miserable. And he said, we're
Speaker 5: not leaving because if we leave, there's going to be
Speaker 5: nothing to come back to because the roving gangs of
Speaker 5: home invaders and thieves and gang members are going to
Speaker 5: come into this house. And believe me, my uncle is strapped.
Speaker 5: He's like old school Gary. He is strapped. So he
Speaker 5: is like, I'm not leaving this because they're gonna come in.
Speaker 5: They're going to take everything. And that's part of what's
Speaker 5: going on in Gary, and per usual, the leadership of
Speaker 5: Gary is blaming everybody else but themselves. Now, I'm not
Speaker 5: saying that the nip that Nipscow doesn't have, that's the
Speaker 5: power company. If you're listening outside Gary or outside of Indiana,
Speaker 5: I'm not saying Nipsco has no culpability. My goodness, I'm
Speaker 5: in California and we can share our own horror stories
Speaker 5: about the power companies. The things that they get away
Speaker 5: with and their twisted relationship with local government. I'm more
Speaker 5: than one hundred percent sure NIPSCO has a lot of
Speaker 5: culpability here. But some things are outside your control, especially
Speaker 5: as a mayor or if you are a local elected
Speaker 5: Some things are outside of your control. But some things
Speaker 5: are inside of your control. And one thing you can
Speaker 5: do is make sure that your city is prepared for emergency.
Speaker 5: You have the proper emergency response set up cities, larger
Speaker 5: cities and cities that are well run, although I'm not
Speaker 5: quite sure where those cities are anymore, but well run
Speaker 5: towns and cities, they have contingencies, just like our nation
Speaker 5: has contingency plans. There's an entire group of people whose
Speaker 5: job it is in the American government to just game
Speaker 5: out every contingency plan, alien invasion, tsunami that engulfs the
Speaker 5: entire continentally the United States rain that never stops, massifire, coups, corruption.
Speaker 5: They have game plans for everything. That's their job, and
Speaker 5: that's what a city needs to do as well, especially
Speaker 5: a city that is on Lake Michigan, one of our
Speaker 5: great lakes. That is the other thing that is so
Speaker 5: sad to me about Gary Gary has no excuse to
Speaker 5: be the way that it is. It has every resource
Speaker 5: available to it. It is thirty miles from one of
Speaker 5: our major cities, Chicago. It sits directly on Lake Michigan.
Speaker 5: It has access to all of the resources of that area.
Speaker 5: The steel mills closed many years ago, but some are
Speaker 5: still operating, so it has access to some work, but
Speaker 5: it has access to Chicago, where there's tons of work.
Speaker 5: Architecture is amazing. I wouldn't necessarily suggest you take a
Speaker 5: stroll through Gary, but if you happen to be riding
Speaker 5: through Gary, stay in your car, but also take a
Speaker 5: look at the crumbling architecture. My husband and I bought
Speaker 5: our first home there, and it's a beautiful home, nineteen
Speaker 5: twenties brick corner lot. Just a gorgeous home, but sat
Speaker 5: right in the middle of the hood and so wouldn't
Speaker 5: count as a gorgeous home and wasn't classified as a
Speaker 5: gorgeous home, not tax wise. I'm saying that Gary has
Speaker 5: everything it needs to be successful. What it doesn't have
Speaker 5: is good leadership. And I've seen a lot of the
Speaker 5: leadership in Gary and in other places on the left
Speaker 5: talking about how isn't it a coincidence that Gary is
Speaker 5: one hundred percent black. The mayor's black, every single person
Speaker 5: in government, every single person in government is black. I
Speaker 5: don't know if I ever met a white person working
Speaker 5: in Gary government. And I worked with alongside the Gary
Speaker 5: government when I lived there because I ran an after
Speaker 5: school program. That's what made me a conservative, y'all. Gary,
Speaker 5: Indiana is the place that made me a conservative. I
Speaker 5: was a mindless liberal when I got married and went
Speaker 5: in there. But I've always been community oriented. I've always
Speaker 5: been you know, my that's my faith right says you
Speaker 5: serve your community. So I immediately jumped in to community service
Speaker 5: when I got there, and when I got to see
Speaker 5: how all of the things that I was voting for
Speaker 5: all these years, I mean I was very young, wasn't
Speaker 5: that many years. I was twenty four when I got married.
Speaker 5: But I saw all of the things that I had
Speaker 5: been voting for, and I got to see how those
Speaker 5: policies work up close and in real time, and I
Speaker 5: realized they don't work. And it started making me look
Speaker 5: at things differently. I realized I was wrong. Education is
Speaker 5: where it started, because that's what I was doing and
Speaker 5: what I realized every way all the ways we were
Speaker 5: approaching education was actually hobbling these kids, hobble our black children,
Speaker 5: and Gary hobbling them. I realized, oh, I've been wrong
Speaker 5: about this, and it started me thinking about, well, what
Speaker 5: else was I wrong about? This is why people, this
Speaker 5: is why a paradigm shift is so rare for people,
Speaker 5: because of most I'm going to venture to say, most
Speaker 5: people do not have the capacity to retroactively catch their
Speaker 5: morals up or values up if they have a paradigm shift.
Speaker 5: And that's why the brain fights so hard against absorbing
Speaker 5: new information, conflicting information, information that might change how things look.
Speaker 5: That's why, because it's a domino effect, right, If you
Speaker 5: allow it to happen, then you start thinking about all
Speaker 5: of the other thing. That's why during COVID they wouldn't
Speaker 5: let us even whisper the idea of natural immunity. Once
Speaker 5: you start talking about natural immunity, then you start talking
Speaker 5: about vitamin C, vitamin D, how you can protect yourself.
Speaker 5: Then you start thinking about all of the different ways
Speaker 5: the government says they are protecting you or can protect you,
Speaker 5: but really doesn't they actually prevent you from protecting from
Speaker 5: being protected and protecting yourself. So it just starts this cascade,
Speaker 5: that of knowledge or revelation that a lot of people
Speaker 5: can't handle. So Gary, really, Gary Indiana is why I'm
Speaker 5: sitting on this mic today. That is no lie. If
Speaker 5: not for Gary Indiana, I probably would not be filling
Speaker 5: in for Tony Katz today. But Gary Indiana made me
Speaker 5: into a conservative. And what they do is every election cycle,
Speaker 5: the same, the usual suspects come out. I actually wrote
Speaker 5: about this on the AX go to my ex account,
Speaker 5: the same, the usual suspects come out. Now again, Gary's
Speaker 5: almost one hundred percent black on paper, I think it's
Speaker 5: like seven or eight percent Lutino and a few white people.
Speaker 5: The white people live in Miller, everybody. If you want
Speaker 5: to see what Gary's real problem is, go and look
Speaker 5: at the beachside enclave of Miller, which is a cute,
Speaker 5: cool little town. I think it's having trouble as always
Speaker 5: with the leadership, but that's where the white folks live,
Speaker 5: or people who have some kind of money. They live
Speaker 5: in Miller. It's right on the beach. It's a little
Speaker 5: beachside town. It's gorgeous, and the people there have so
Speaker 5: far been able to withstand a lot of the pressure
Speaker 5: from the Gary government. But the Gary government is always
Speaker 5: punishing Miller because they're the only ones who really pay taxes.
Speaker 5: And it happens to be divided by a highway. Now
Speaker 5: I don't think it always was, but a freeway came
Speaker 5: through there and it's divided from the rest of Gary.
Speaker 5: So it's got a little bit of a different vibe,
Speaker 5: not totally, but a little bit. And that's what Gary
Speaker 5: could be. Miller is what Gary could be. But every
Speaker 5: election cycle, the usual suspects come out and even though
Speaker 5: everything's all black there and everyone who runs everything is black,
Speaker 5: the usual suspects come out and they say, we got
Speaker 5: to protect Gary from the white man. We gotta protect
Speaker 5: Gary from the Republicans. There's no Republicans in Gary. I mean,
Speaker 5: you know, running we got to protect Gary from the Republicans.
Speaker 5: We gotta protect Gary from Pick your president, pick your governor,
Speaker 5: pick your local leaders that are in the news. The
Speaker 5: narrative always is the white people are coming for our
Speaker 5: black town and if you don't elect us, they're gonna
Speaker 5: come and change the city. Now the city needs to
Speaker 5: be changed, right, But that's what they run on and
Speaker 5: the few people who vote, and I don't think it's
Speaker 5: that many. I've never looked at their turnout numbers. But
Speaker 5: the few people that vote, they just they fall for
Speaker 5: the banana and the tailpipe every time. So they're just
Speaker 5: electing and re electing the same people over and over again.
Speaker 5: Gary's dysfunction is its own issue, its own problem. It
Speaker 5: doesn't have anything to do with the governor, the president,
Speaker 5: or any white people. In my estimation, I'm going to
Speaker 5: continue this train of thought, but let's take quick break.
Speaker 5: I'm Kia Davis filling in for Tony Katz. You're listening
Speaker 5: to Tony Katz today. Welcome back, everybody too, Tony Katz Today,
Speaker 5: I'm your guest host, Kia Davis, stepping in for Tony.
Speaker 5: I do run out and take care of a commitment,
Speaker 5: but I'll be with you for the rest of the show.
Speaker 5: Check me out on x at Kira Davis. Go buy
Speaker 5: my book Drawing Lines, Why Conservatives Must Begin to Battle
Speaker 5: fiercely in the Arena of Ideas. I wrote it in
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two, and I don't think it's ever been
Speaker 5: more relevant than it is at this very moment, because
Speaker 5: it is a whole book about how you can get
Speaker 5: engaged right where you are. The issues that you should
Speaker 5: be concerned about, and there's a plethora of them, so
Speaker 5: you have a lot to choose from. But it's really
Speaker 5: encouraging everybody to become a soldier in this war. We
Speaker 5: really are battling for the culture. Nothing has proven that
Speaker 5: to mean more than the very strange discussion we've been
Speaker 5: having lately around the Lindsey Clancy trial and the murder
Speaker 5: of her children in postpartum depression. I'm going to get
Speaker 5: to that in the next segment, but I do want
Speaker 5: to finish up my thoughts on Gary here. I was
Speaker 5: just talking about how it is one hundred percent black
Speaker 5: and black leadership and one hundred percent failure all of
Speaker 5: the time. When I lived there, Gary public schools almost
Speaker 5: all of them lost their national accreditation. That means they
Speaker 5: were not accredited schools. They were failing. The state tried
Speaker 5: to take over Gary three different times in my time
Speaker 5: in Gary, but each time the city would pitch a it,
Speaker 5: we'd start screaming about racism and the state would back off. Meanwhile,
Speaker 5: nothing changes for the residents. Everything gets worse. I wanted
Speaker 5: to so I wrote a little diatribe on X about
Speaker 5: why Gary is falling apart. I said Gary is our
Speaker 5: former hometown. Let me tell you why they are still
Speaker 5: without power. People keep shooting at the NIPSCO trucks, roving
Speaker 5: gangs of thieves and home invaders, and limited police presence.
Speaker 5: Infrastructure is poorly maintained. Untrimmed trees are making access to
Speaker 5: power lines difficult, Damaged streets and sidewalks, abandoned buildings everywhere.
Speaker 5: City leadership has been hopelessly lazy and corrupt for decades.
Speaker 5: Many like the new mirror, but he has clearly not
Speaker 5: prepared the city for emergency. Our senior citizen uncle is
Speaker 5: there and refuses to leave his home because he knows
Speaker 5: if he leaves, there will be nothing to come back to.
Speaker 5: Everyone there is at the mercy of criminals, the weather,
Speaker 5: and a chronically incompetent local government. It may also interest
Speaker 5: you to know that Gary is considered the bluest city
Speaker 5: in America. Yes, it's actually a title that the News
Speaker 5: gives Gary during each election cycle when they're waiting for
Speaker 5: Indiana returns to come in. Next time, you're going to
Speaker 5: notice them say it. They just watch MSNBC or something
Speaker 5: or whatever or MS SNOW whatever they are. Now watch them.
Speaker 5: They'll tell you. Oh, we're waiting. They're always waiting for
Speaker 5: the Gary returns. Right, of course, they're always that's always
Speaker 5: the last place to return because they need to know
Speaker 5: how much numbers they need to make up when the
Speaker 5: rest of Indiana has weighed in, So they're always the
Speaker 5: last to return. And then you'll always hear some talking
Speaker 5: heads say, oh, it's the bluest city in America. It's
Speaker 5: something like one. You know, ninety nine percent Democrat registration
Speaker 5: is just ridiculous. They have nearly total Democrat support. I'm
Speaker 5: not one to defend the power companies. Nipskoe has their
Speaker 5: own issues, but the reason Gary is still offline is
Speaker 5: because most of the people there keep voting for more
Speaker 5: of the same at every turn. The city has everything
Speaker 5: it needs to be a great city. It's on Lake Michigan,
Speaker 5: has incredible architecture, It's just thirty miles from Chicago. It
Speaker 5: lost a lot of revenue when the steel mills closed,
Speaker 5: but there has never been a good reason for its
Speaker 5: failure decade after decade. It's poor leadership and a disengaged population.
Speaker 5: It's not racism, it's apathy and thievery. We literally have
Speaker 5: no one to blame for gary condition. Except ourselves black people.
Speaker 5: That is the truth that I saw with my own
Speaker 5: eyes that my husband's family lived their entire lives. And
Speaker 5: when I went into leadership there, when I went into
Speaker 5: community service there, I was shocked at the amount of
Speaker 5: people who really did worked in government, who really didn't
Speaker 5: care if the city got better. They really did not
Speaker 5: want to help anyone help the city. For them, it
Speaker 5: was a power trip. And I'll tell you this is
Speaker 5: how dysfunctional government, period is. I always use this story
Speaker 5: a lot when I talk about dysfunctional government, why everything
Speaker 5: costs so much in government? But this is Gary at
Speaker 5: its finest. So for a while, for a short while,
Speaker 5: I did some temp work there and I worked in
Speaker 5: I think the unemployment office, one of the government offices downtown,
Speaker 5: just a few days a week. And that office was
Speaker 5: staffed to the max for a city of sixty to
Speaker 5: seventy thousand people. They had way too many employees. Worse,
Speaker 5: those employees did nothing. They were on the internet all day.
Speaker 5: I would sit there and just watch them just surf
Speaker 5: the net all day. And maybe not even because they
Speaker 5: were lazy, they probably literally had nothing to do. They
Speaker 5: were just hired. So one day I was working the
Speaker 5: front desk and I was in charge of ordering supplies,
Speaker 5: and a guy, one of the men that worked there,
Speaker 5: came to me. He said, I want some headphones, new
Speaker 5: headphones for my computer. And he gave me the office
Speaker 5: Max catalog. He's like, order them out of here. He said,
Speaker 5: I just want to watch my videos. That's what we said,
Speaker 5: I want to watch my videos. Well, the cheapest pair
Speaker 5: of headphones in the catalog was one hundred and fifty
Speaker 5: dollars at the time, that's what was They were professional headphones.
Speaker 5: So I said, this is a lot of money for
Speaker 5: a pair of headphones. Do you want me to just
Speaker 5: take petty cash, run across the street to Family Dollar
Speaker 5: and get like a five dollars pair. How about that?
Speaker 5: Because this is taxpayer money. And he was like, no,
Speaker 5: I don't want a cheap pair of headphones. Order the
Speaker 5: ones out of the book. So I wasn't even allowed
Speaker 5: to run directly across the street pick up a pair
Speaker 5: of five dollars headphones. So this man could watch his
Speaker 5: YouTube videos at work. The taxpayers had to pay one
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty dollars for him to have headphones to
Speaker 5: watch YouTube at work. That's the extent of the corruption
Speaker 5: in a place like Gary. And I'm sure that's not
Speaker 5: the only place, but it really opened my eyes to
Speaker 5: a lot. And even when my husband and I were
Speaker 5: doing charity work there and we were trying to set
Speaker 5: up a charity, we're trying to set up an after
Speaker 5: school program, and we were trying to set up like
Speaker 5: scholarships for kids to go to some of the private
Speaker 5: schools there. We did a lot of work there. We're
Speaker 5: trying to do like reinvestment and redevelopment work there. While
Speaker 5: we were there, we hit a blockade at every.
Speaker 2: Corner.
Speaker 5: There was always some that won there to block us.
Speaker 5: Even the former mayor, Richard Hatcher of Indiana, of Gary, Indiana,
Speaker 5: got in our business at one point. It was crazy.
Speaker 5: You couldn't if you wanted to do something good, there
Speaker 5: was somebody there to tell you around every corner why
Speaker 5: you couldn't do it and why the city did not
Speaker 5: want to participate in it. And every election cycle they
Speaker 5: came out and they say, oh, white people are they
Speaker 5: They're going to ruin this city. Gary's a black city.
Speaker 5: The politicians say that so proudly, and it's failing, and
Speaker 5: it's failing at citizens right now, there's no reason why
Speaker 5: people should be hungry, hot, and at risk sitting in
Speaker 5: this town that is on Lake Michigan, thirty miles from Chicago.
Speaker 5: You should have resources there immediately. The National Guard has
Speaker 5: been deployed, it is I think only about seventy guardsmen
Speaker 5: right now. What they really need is for a full,
Speaker 5: a full accouterment of the National Guard to be there,
Speaker 5: to start studying the streets, making sure people can move
Speaker 5: about freely. Because people can't even leave their homes to
Speaker 5: go get gas. You got to go outside the city
Speaker 5: to get it. They can't even leave their homes to
Speaker 5: get gas because if you leave for too long, someone's
Speaker 5: coming in and taking your stuff. It's crazy, man, But
Speaker 5: it's not the white man's fault. Gary is responsible for
Speaker 5: its own problems. I got more coming up. We got
Speaker 5: to take a break. I'm Kira Davis filling in for
Speaker 5: Tony Katsay. Welcome back everybody to Tony Katz today. Tira
Speaker 5: Davis here filling in for my friend Tony Katz. Coming
Speaker 5: to you live from southern California. So glad to be
Speaker 5: in the mic with you. Tony just had to scoot out.
Speaker 5: Don't worry, I got you as always. Well, I was
Speaker 5: just sharing a little bit of my Gary experience and
Speaker 5: why the city of Gary, it has only has itself
Speaker 5: to blame. You can't blame the power company. I mean
Speaker 5: you excuse me. You can blame the power company to
Speaker 5: some extent. They have a monopoly it. Yeah, they they're
Speaker 5: not the greatest. But that being said, any functioning American
Speaker 5: city should be able to withstand a period of emergency. Otherwise,
Speaker 5: what is the point of your government. What is the
Speaker 5: point the city should be able to rally make sure
Speaker 5: everybody's got gas generators, you know, for all the taxes
Speaker 5: that people pay in that town, and the taxes are
Speaker 5: not commiserate with the income level. I'll say that the
Speaker 5: former mayor or the mayor who was the mayor when
Speaker 5: I was when I was leaving Gary, was Rudy Clay.
Speaker 5: And Rudy in a city that was so poor it
Speaker 5: couldn't fit, It couldn't afford to fix potholes. A city
Speaker 5: of sixty thousand, sixty to seventy thousand people like, it's
Speaker 5: a really empty town. Mayor Clay had a detail of
Speaker 5: three Navigate Lincoln Navigator SUVs and six personal bodyguards. Six
Speaker 5: on the city for the mayor of Gary six. So
Speaker 5: that money is the money is there, it's being sucked
Speaker 5: up by the political class. And yes, they can't go
Speaker 5: and build a transformer, which apparently is what Nipsko is
Speaker 5: needing to do, rebuild transformers, and that takes a while. Yes,
Speaker 5: I understand they cannot go build the transformers, but they
Speaker 5: can make sure their city is safe for Nipskoe workers
Speaker 5: to come into. If you go to my ex feed
Speaker 5: and you read the post I made about Gary, you're
Speaker 5: gonna see dozens of comments underneath saying, yeah, I used
Speaker 5: to work for Nipskoe, or I used to work in
Speaker 5: repairing Gary, or I used to drive through Gary on
Speaker 5: my way to work. And you know when I worked
Speaker 5: at Nipskoe, no one wants. No one wanted to be
Speaker 5: on the crew to go into Gary. For decades, these
Speaker 5: people are saying this. One lady said from the sixties
Speaker 5: this was going on. No one ever wanted to go
Speaker 5: into Gary. That's a complete failure of leadership, right, that's
Speaker 5: a leadership problem. You can at least make your streets
Speaker 5: safe to get people in there to help. So this
Speaker 5: is not And then and then, just now, as I
Speaker 5: was on X. I was reading a post from Justin Pearson,
Speaker 5: who is the weird cause player black power kid from Memphis.
Speaker 5: You've seen him. He's got the he's got the afro,
Speaker 5: and he was doing the black power thing when they
Speaker 5: were redistricting and just a skinny little nerd you know,
Speaker 5: who grew an afro and then suddenly became mister black Power.
Speaker 5: And he's still out there talking even though he got
Speaker 5: redistricted out. He's still out there talking, he says. After
Speaker 5: a thunderstorm last night, one hundred thousand households and Memphis
Speaker 5: are without power, possibly until Thursday. It's ninety degrees outside.
Speaker 5: Another majority black working class city left in the dark. Well,
Speaker 5: he's almost there, right, He's almost got it. Yeah, Why
Speaker 5: do Why isn't the majority black cities that are without power,
Speaker 5: that are failing, that can't seem to rebound quickly from emergencies.
Speaker 5: Is it that there isn't the mysterious force of racism
Speaker 5: from outside the boundaries of these of these cities, or
Speaker 5: could it possibly have anything to do with the leadership
Speaker 5: of these cities. I don't know how controversial I can
Speaker 5: get on Tony Show. I don't want to drive people away,
Speaker 5: but I do think we I do think we have
Speaker 5: an issue black people with governance. And I always say that.
Speaker 5: I always point people back to this little I saw
Speaker 5: this little video when I was in college. I was
Speaker 5: doing a report and I was still liberal by the way,
Speaker 5: at this time, I was doing a report on civil
Speaker 5: rights movement and I was going back through the archives
Speaker 5: in my university of civil rights recordings and videos, and
Speaker 5: I saw this report. I've never seen it again. I
Speaker 5: don't know what it was tucked into, but it was
Speaker 5: Stokely Carmichael, who was one of the leaders of the
Speaker 5: founding leaders of the student led civil rights movement, went
Speaker 5: on to be He changed his name to an African name,
Speaker 5: moved to like Barrier or something. He got really radical
Speaker 5: towards the end, but in the beginning he actually made
Speaker 5: a lot of sense. And there's a clip of him saying, Look,
Speaker 5: I don't think that we should rush into running for office.
Speaker 5: Like we have just secured these voting protections, we've just
Speaker 5: secured equal protection, all of this stuff, but we have
Speaker 5: not been trained in the proper way to interact with
Speaker 5: government or like we haven't been allowed to and so
Speaker 5: we need to train ourselves properly. So that when we
Speaker 5: get in there, we can be effective and not just
Speaker 5: become a part of the organism. But no one heeded
Speaker 5: his warning, and that's what happened. We have the Black
Speaker 5: Congressional Caucus. What the hell do they do? What do
Speaker 5: they do that has advanced black rights, black awareness, black success, prosperity?
Speaker 5: What have they done for us? Every time I talk
Speaker 5: to a black person about being Republican, they're like, what
Speaker 5: has the Republican Party done for you? Okay, I guess
Speaker 5: I could say the same thing. Because Gary votes one
Speaker 5: hundred percent Democrat, Memphis votes one hundred percent Democrat. What
Speaker 5: have they done for you? What have Democrats done for you?
Speaker 5: They've done nothing but just trade on our fears and
Speaker 5: our insecurities and our desperation, and they have brought nothing
Speaker 5: in return. I don't want the Republican Party to do
Speaker 5: anything from me. I want I want them to get
Speaker 5: out of my way. That's what I want. I want
Speaker 5: to elect government officials who will get out of my
Speaker 5: way and leave me the hell alone. I don't want
Speaker 5: a party to do anything for me. And that's another
Speaker 5: part of the problem we have here in this country
Speaker 5: in the black community, because every bad idea starts there.
Speaker 5: Every bad experiment goes there where the Canary and the
Speaker 5: coal mine. Always every bad experiment starts there. But it's
Speaker 5: it's expanding out, just like I told you it would.
Speaker 5: You didn't pay attention to what was happening to us
Speaker 5: in our cities, Republican Party, and you didn't fight for
Speaker 5: those cities. This was going to spread out to the
Speaker 5: larger population, and now it has. And now we are
Speaker 5: facing an election cycle in which the Democrat Socialists of
Speaker 5: America are actually making a play for real government offices,
Speaker 5: for real control. They're out there saying the most absurd things,
Speaker 5: the craziest things. But that's because we have not fought
Speaker 5: for people in desperate places like Gary. We have just
Speaker 5: hands off. Oh you know what, we can't compete in Gary.
Speaker 5: We're not even going to put any effort or any
Speaker 5: money in there. I talked to a guy in my
Speaker 5: podcast once, Devin Jones. He runs or did, I don't
Speaker 5: know if he's still there the South Side Chicago Republicans.
Speaker 5: He applied for a national I don't know if you
Speaker 5: get like accredited or something from the RNC. He applied
Speaker 5: for that to be an official office. They turned him
Speaker 5: down because they said the South Side is not worth
Speaker 5: our efforts or the money it will cost. So he
Speaker 5: opened the office himself and he started basically just doing
Speaker 5: community service. Now we look at what's happening to the
Speaker 5: South Side and all of Chicago. They are being overwhelmed
Speaker 5: by the DSA. Obama came and plopped down a monstrous
Speaker 5: he calls a library. I call it an idol. I
Speaker 5: think someday we're going to find out way more sinister
Speaker 5: things about that place. It looks sinister because it is sinister.
Speaker 5: We should pay attention to how things look and what
Speaker 5: they're called. I think about this a lot. Should think
Speaker 5: about what we name things that means something. But look
Speaker 5: at that we and now these people are desperate. These
Speaker 5: are people are who are ripe for political upheaval. They
Speaker 5: are ripe for the picking. Really when it comes to
Speaker 5: ideas and values. If someone can come in and offer
Speaker 5: a good solution, they're ripe for it. But the GOP
Speaker 5: is not there. Who's there the DSA and they have
Speaker 5: nothing but bad intentions. But we black people let our
Speaker 5: cities fall into disrepair. We elect people who we elect traders,
Speaker 5: people who betray their own people by stealing from us
Speaker 5: and not giving what we have asked for. We elect
Speaker 5: these people, and then when the city falls apart, the
Speaker 5: socialists come in and say, oh, this is definitely the
Speaker 5: white man's fault. Probably what you need is free healthcare.
Speaker 5: Probably what you need is more project housing. Probably what
Speaker 5: you need is fewer police and more social workers. And
Speaker 5: even if people don't think that's what they're voting for,
Speaker 5: because a lot of times these people don't announce themselves,
Speaker 5: it's what they end up voting for, it's what they
Speaker 5: end up getting. We need to be paying attention to
Speaker 5: both the degradation and desperation of our inner cities and
Speaker 5: what the DSA is doing. And I dare say they're connected.
Speaker 5: And I dare say this is all on purpose that
Speaker 5: the people who govern our inner cities like Gary, Indiana
Speaker 5: and Memphis are instructed or just culturalized into decline. The
Speaker 5: idea is that you make people miserable. And I say
Speaker 5: this all the time on my own show. Go to
Speaker 5: Jeskiradavis dot com or go look me up on X
Speaker 5: I say this all the time on my podcast. The
Speaker 5: misery is the point. Miserable people are easier to control,
Speaker 5: and look what's going on in Gary. All of those
Speaker 5: people they're they're lining up for services. My uncle and
Speaker 5: his wife, they're not lining up for services. They are
Speaker 5: helping their neighbors. They're helping themselves. Other people have come
Speaker 5: in to help them, they have had offers from people
Speaker 5: outside the city to help them. That's community response. Gary
Speaker 5: is a broken community. And while there are some community
Speaker 5: leaders who are helping and doing their very level best,
Speaker 5: there aren't enough of them. There aren't enough of them,
Speaker 5: and some of the ones who are helping are not
Speaker 5: really helping because they're just blaming all outside forces instead
Speaker 5: of saying, we need to fix this within our own boundaries.
Speaker 5: We can no longer blame other people. But is based
Speaker 5: on envy. It is an envy based system, and Black
Speaker 5: people we have been socialized into socialism across this country.
Speaker 5: It's even in our churches. It's even in our worship.
Speaker 5: The Black church has been infected with the idea of socialism.
Speaker 5: And socialism is an evil concept and it infantilizes people
Speaker 5: and it makes us dependent. Think about what they did
Speaker 5: with Martin during the Alabama bus riots. That's actually a
Speaker 5: great story of how a community can band together for
Speaker 5: an extended period of time to affect change. Those people
Speaker 5: couldn't depend on the government, and so you know what
Speaker 5: they didn't. They boycotted the buses. How did they get around?
Speaker 5: How did they get through their jobs? People offered their
Speaker 5: own cars, They started collecting money for gas, they started
Speaker 5: private taxi services. They started advertising in their own communities. Hey,
Speaker 5: this person can get you to work. This person's going
Speaker 5: back and forth year and they did it for not months,
Speaker 5: They did it for almost two years before they got
Speaker 5: what they wanted, that was a black community. They didn't
Speaker 5: quit work. They still went to work. They didn't quit life.
Speaker 5: They still you know, lived life. But they organized to
Speaker 5: protect themselves and to affect change. What has happened between
Speaker 5: then and now socialism? Socialism, that's what's happened. And Black
Speaker 5: people in America have become a socialist people and it's
Speaker 5: literally killing us. Now, all right, let's let's take another break.
Speaker 5: We'll be right back. I'm Kia Davis filling in for
Speaker 5: Tony Kats. You're listening to Tony Kats today. Welcome back
Speaker 5: to everybody, do Tony Katz today. I'm your guest host,
Speaker 5: Kia Davis filling in for Tony. I know you started
Speaker 5: the show with him, but you're going to end the
Speaker 5: show with me, so you're welcome. Now he'll be back,
Speaker 5: but he just had to scoot out, so I pick
Speaker 5: up the mic for him real quick. I was just
Speaker 5: looking at X and the break. I don't have this
Speaker 5: clip for you, but maybe you want to go find it.
Speaker 5: But it is a clip of Joe Biden speaking last night.
Speaker 5: He was somewhere, he was in South Carolina and he
Speaker 5: looks see this clip, says breaking. Joe Biden just tried
Speaker 5: to tell a crowd that he closed the border, not
Speaker 5: Donald Trump. The room went dead, silent, even a room
Speaker 5: packed with Democrats knows as a flat outlie. You can't
Speaker 5: make this up. I'm looking at the video of Joe
Speaker 5: talking and he looks as blank faced as you would imagine.
Speaker 5: Why is he still out there? What are they doing?
Speaker 5: I think it's the money. I think they're broke. We
Speaker 5: think of these people as wealthy, but they're not. They
Speaker 5: depend on the ever flowing stream of tax dollars. But
Speaker 5: the Biden's left in such disgrace. They're broke now, so
Speaker 5: I guess they're just wheeling him out. I just and
Speaker 5: who's going to see him? That's the other thing, not
Speaker 5: only is why is he talking? Who is going out
Speaker 5: and spending time, precious time, money and energy to go
Speaker 5: see him? It's so busy. Are do we have time
Speaker 5: to play this DSA clip? Christian? I want to play
Speaker 5: this clip from the DSA Zoom because it's very important
Speaker 5: given what I was just talking about about socialism and
Speaker 5: the DSA coming in and taking advantage of all the
Speaker 5: desperation in these cities. But there is a ZOOM meeting
Speaker 5: the other night, and they really are not secret about
Speaker 5: what their intentions are for our nation. And this is
Speaker 5: why you really have to take them seriously. And as
Speaker 5: you listen, I want you to think about all of
Speaker 5: the incidences of violence you have seen come across your
Speaker 5: social media feed in the last few months, and then
Speaker 5: listen to what they're saying. Go ahead and play this.
Speaker 6: We have seen that the Democratic Party establishment that we
Speaker 6: have has to be ripped out. We can actually start
Speaker 6: to grab hold of the ship of state and steer
Speaker 6: it in our direction, but it's going to be a
Speaker 6: violent process.
Speaker 3: Our country needs to change, and this Democratic Party needs
Speaker 3: to change. I was more than glad to go on
Speaker 3: Hassan's stream. This is we need as Democrats, we need
Speaker 3: to go into these spaces.
Speaker 6: Israel has a plan of creating a greater Israel in
Speaker 6: the Middle East, and.
Speaker 7: Eritz Israel would require Israel to expand quad quintuple its
Speaker 7: size by eating up half of Lebanon, parts of Iraq,
Speaker 7: parts of Egypt, most of Jordan, parts of Iran.
Speaker 6: It's not an accident that the same people that will
Speaker 6: take the APAC money take all the other money too,
Speaker 6: you know where they're messaging each other like, oh, there's
Speaker 6: a war over here, won't that be profitable for us?
Speaker 5: What if we started some instability over there.
Speaker 3: IPAC doesn't care about democracy. APAC cares about what APAC
Speaker 3: cares about, which is the corporate interest, the billionaire class
Speaker 3: in perpetuating this US colony in the Middle East that
Speaker 3: is only able to exist with our taxpayer support.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you wonder why anti Semitism is spreading
Speaker 5: so fast in this country, here it is. And it's
Speaker 5: not just the Democrats social right, it's the Muslims. It's
Speaker 5: Islam that we've been letting, you know, seep into our
Speaker 5: country for since nine to eleven. Really, and that comes
Speaker 5: with anti Semitism, but also so does the violent so
Speaker 5: does the message and the culture of violence. So when
Speaker 5: you look around and you feel like things are deteriorating,
Speaker 5: that's on purpose. The misery is the point. Stay vigilant.
Speaker 5: All right, let's take a break. I'll be back in
Speaker 5: the next hour with much more. I'll they taking me
Speaker 5: all the way home. I'm Kia Davis filling in for
Speaker 5: Tony Kats and you're listening to Tony Cats Today.
Speaker 1: Live from the Heartlier and the Crossroads of America.
Speaker 2: It's Tony Cats Today.
Speaker 5: Welcome back everybody to Tony Katz Today. We're in the
Speaker 5: third hour. Kiraa Davis taken over for my friend Tony.
Speaker 5: Had to run out really quick, but don't worry. I
Speaker 5: got you. I'm not sitting in the crossroads of America.
Speaker 5: I'm in like America's armpit, the left coast, California. But
Speaker 5: I'm so happy to be here on this mic with
Speaker 5: you guys. I'm always willing to step in and help
Speaker 5: my friend, of course. Go find me online at Eskiradavis
Speaker 5: dot com. By my book Drawing Lines, Why Conservatives must
Speaker 5: begin to battle fiercely in the arena of ideas. I
Speaker 5: want to switch gears a little bit. Here. I was
Speaker 5: trolling backs like I pretty much do every day. And
Speaker 5: I saw this clip of Mike Pence and he was
Speaker 5: giving an interview. I think he was on CNN with
Speaker 5: Dana Bash. This is what Pence does now, He goes
Speaker 5: to the liberal channels. This is how you know he's
Speaker 5: sus to me, because he really has become a liberal
Speaker 5: media darling, and that's very disappointing. I gotta say I
Speaker 5: was a you know, I'll admit I was a big
Speaker 5: Mic Pence fan early on. A lot of you all
Speaker 5: didn't feel the same way. I didn't really listen to you.
Speaker 5: But he was on with uh. He was on with
Speaker 5: Danna on CNN and she asked him about an incident,
Speaker 5: a moment when he was in office as vice president
Speaker 5: where he affirmed the gender of a transgender CIA officer,
Speaker 5: and she was just that was a lovely, heartwarming story,
Speaker 5: and so he talked about it. I want you to
Speaker 5: hear it, and then I'm gonna tell you what my
Speaker 5: problems are with it, besides the obvious. Go ahead and
Speaker 5: play the Mike Pence clip.
Speaker 2: Quickly before I let you go.
Speaker 8: I do want to ask about comments by Julia Curley,
Speaker 8: former CIA officer who served as your daily briefer during
Speaker 8: the first Trump term. She's a transor. I spoke to
Speaker 8: her earlier this week and she said, despite your different views,
Speaker 8: you treated her with quote great dignity and a big
Speaker 8: moment for her in her life. Was you telling her
Speaker 8: mother that you must be very proud.
Speaker 2: Of your daughter.
Speaker 8: What was your reaction to hearing her say that, You know,
Speaker 8: I haven't.
Speaker 9: I haven't read the article, like I appreciate the kind words,
Speaker 9: but you know, you and I've known each other long time.
Speaker 9: Dally and my conservative values are fairly well known, but
Speaker 9: maybe some people didn't quite know that among our Christian
Speaker 9: values is my wife and I believe in treating others
Speaker 9: the way that we'd like to be treated, with decency
Speaker 9: and respect. And you know, I was heartened to hear
Speaker 9: Julia reflect that that. You know, that was the experience
Speaker 9: that that took place in our office.
Speaker 5: First of all, the church bells behind him, which is cool.
Speaker 5: You don't get to hear church bells that much anymore,
Speaker 5: so that was cool and excuse you can hear dog
Speaker 5: barking in this studio. But what really piqued my interest
Speaker 5: about this was how towards the end you said you
Speaker 5: heard him really struggling to not use the gender her
Speaker 5: gender his gender, and Dana is so comfortably using she
Speaker 5: when they were obviously talking about it. He But it
Speaker 5: made me think about how, you know, Pence came into
Speaker 5: office as sort of the moderator of Trump's moderator, like
Speaker 5: he moderated Trump's personality, and we liked him because he's
Speaker 5: a good Christian man. Of course, we had a big
Speaker 5: controversy about the Pence rule, which is not a crazy rule,
Speaker 5: especially in Christian culture, and a lot of people liked him,
Speaker 5: including me. But I'll tell you when my opinion of
Speaker 5: him started to shift. It was during the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 5: It was not during the you know, the aftermath of that.
Speaker 5: It was during the twenty twenty election when he was
Speaker 5: debating Kamala Harris and the fly on his head and
Speaker 5: I remember looking at that fly landing on his head
Speaker 5: and I went out and defended him. Everyone was like,
Speaker 5: look at this, look at this, and I was like, hey,
Speaker 5: it's just it happens as a fly in the studio.
Speaker 5: So I was one of those people. But internally I
Speaker 5: wasn't ready to say it out loud, but internally I
Speaker 5: was like, maybe that's a sign, you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: Maybe that's a sign. It just felt so like such
Speaker 5: a dark warning or symbol, And I remember that was
Speaker 5: the moment I started looking at him differently.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 5: I didn't understand what the controversy was between him and
Speaker 5: Trump at the time. I'm a lot more informed now
Speaker 5: about the elections process and certifying elections and all of
Speaker 5: that stuff. Now I understand that what Trump was asking
Speaker 5: him to do was to not certify an election that
Speaker 5: was uncertifiable. And here in California we've had a number
Speaker 5: of uncertifiable elections. Almost everyone is and I'm starting to understand.
Speaker 5: I ran for office and I got caught up in
Speaker 5: all of that too, and I'm starting to understand what
Speaker 5: that issue was. So at the time, I remember thinking,
Speaker 5: I don't know, there's something off about Pence, but he's
Speaker 5: just doing his job. Now, when I look at the
Speaker 5: complete one pint eighty he has done, he's not denouncing
Speaker 5: his faith, he's not denouncing christ anything like that, but
Speaker 5: he is denouncing his conservatism. I know he's saying, oh,
Speaker 5: we're conservatives, and we believe in treating people with the
Speaker 5: same respect that we would like to be treated with.
Speaker 5: So you believe in lying to people, you want people
Speaker 5: to lie to you, mister Vice President, because that's a lie.
Speaker 5: What you said to quote Julia and to quote Julia's mother,
Speaker 5: his mother, that was a lie. You were not looking
Speaker 5: at a woman. He is not a woman. He couldn't
Speaker 5: be a woman. Furthermore, that's a mental illness. You shouldn't
Speaker 5: really be in charge of your daily briefings. What are
Speaker 5: you saying. It's not dignity to lie to people. That's
Speaker 5: not dignity. And if you're asking people to treat you
Speaker 5: the way that you treat them, you're asking people to
Speaker 5: lie to you. And I don't want you in any
Speaker 5: kind of influential office if you're okay with people lying
Speaker 5: to you, not just lying to you, lying directly in
Speaker 5: your face. And that particular lie degrades the humanity and
Speaker 5: the femininity and the protections of women like your wife,
Speaker 5: like your daughter. I think he has a daughter. That
Speaker 5: lie is so dangerous. That lie is costing young girls medals,
Speaker 5: scholarship opportunities, their entire future, their entire collegiate futures because
Speaker 5: of that attitude. Oh we just will let boy, let
Speaker 5: them play, let them play, Save the dolls let them play.
Speaker 5: That attitude is responsible for so much destruction. It really
Speaker 5: disturbs me that he used the Christian mandate to love
Speaker 5: others as we would want to be loved ourselves, to
Speaker 5: the Golden rule right, do unto others as you would
Speaker 5: have them do unto you. But you know what I want.
Speaker 5: I want people to be honest with me. I don't
Speaker 5: want people lying to my base or pandering to me
Speaker 5: either so they can keep me quiet or keep me satiated.
Speaker 5: I don't want that. Why do you want that that
Speaker 5: fly on his head that was a bell weather, that
Speaker 5: was a symbol, that was an omen Because that is
Speaker 5: an explicitly anti Christian attitude, that's an explicitly anti God
Speaker 5: attitude to a firm a man to pretend a man
Speaker 5: is a woman, and then to extend that pretense to
Speaker 5: his mother as an official officer of the United States,
Speaker 5: that is, it's beyond the pale to me, and I
Speaker 5: regret ever really supporting Mike Penn's I was wrong about him,
Speaker 5: you know, And he's really taught me a lot about
Speaker 5: just being skeptical period. And I guess I should thank
Speaker 5: him because I'm able to look I love Trump as
Speaker 5: a president. I have some issues here and there, obviously,
Speaker 5: but you know, it's tempting to want to jump on
Speaker 5: that Maga bandwagon and just be all in raw raw.
Speaker 5: But Mike Pence has taught me to be skeptical, more
Speaker 5: skeptical than I have been in the past, so I'll
Speaker 5: thank him for that. But otherwise he's been nothing but
Speaker 5: a detriment to the legacy of conservatism. And the fact
Speaker 5: that he's just palin it up over there on CNN,
Speaker 5: that they just the fact that Dana bash is so
Speaker 5: nice to him and just giving him the opportunity to
Speaker 5: prove he's one of us. That should tell you a lot.
Speaker 5: That should tell you a lot. It's like when I'll
Speaker 5: tell you when Rudy Giuliani during I mean, he was
Speaker 5: treated very unfairly, I believe that, but Rudy's got his
Speaker 5: own issues. And when we saw that image of him
Speaker 5: sweating in court and the die dripping down his head,
Speaker 5: I felt like that was another symbolic moment too. That
Speaker 5: was the moment I realized Trump was going to lose.
Speaker 5: Actually there was no way to dig out of this,
Speaker 5: that his team was not prepared for whatever was going on,
Speaker 5: and that maybe that there even was some corruption in
Speaker 5: his team as well, and I'm sure there was, But
Speaker 5: that was the moment, I swear, I swear I'm not lying.
Speaker 5: That was the moment when I realized Trump wasn't getting
Speaker 5: out of the twenty twenty election and that it all
Speaker 5: was really just going to go down the train. And
Speaker 5: I was like, this is very symbolic Rudy's defense dripping
Speaker 5: down over his entire face. So maybe something you know,
Speaker 5: was being told to us from the ether and the
Speaker 5: greater consciousness that we just couldn't see now then, But
Speaker 5: I see now anyway. Boo to you, mister former Vice
Speaker 5: President Mike Pence, Boo to you. I'm ashamed of you,
Speaker 5: and I'm ashamed that you didn't take that opportunity to
Speaker 5: stand up for girls and women like your wife, and
Speaker 5: to stand up for God's creation and the order of
Speaker 5: God's creation. Shame on you. Talk about a Christian. That's
Speaker 5: not a very Christian attitude. Lying, that's not very Christian.
Speaker 5: Talk about being a Christian. Stand up for God's creation,
Speaker 5: stand up for God's values, stand up for the women
Speaker 5: and girls he created. Let's take a break. I'm Cura
Speaker 5: Davis filling in for Tony Kats and you're listening to
Speaker 5: Tony Kats today. Welcome back everybody to Tony Katz Today.
Speaker 5: Happy Monday, August twenty fourth. I'm Cura Davis filling in
Speaker 5: for two. You can find me online on at just
Speaker 5: Karradavis dot com, Jostcrea Davis dot com, or on Instagram
Speaker 5: at the same handle just Cara Davis or on ex
Speaker 5: at Kia Davis only Kiara Davis. So Canada, let's talk
Speaker 5: about it. Uh, this is a I guess the theme
Speaker 5: for today is crappy places Kira used to live, because
Speaker 5: Canada is on that list. Many of you know, I'm
Speaker 5: originally Canadian. My father was American. That's how I got here.
Speaker 5: I mean, I've been here for forty years or whatever now,
Speaker 5: but once I really originally got here as a teenager.
Speaker 5: Have gone back and forth recently until recently because my
Speaker 5: mother went no contact with our family over Trump, Over
Speaker 5: Trump and this very issue. I'm about to tee and
Speaker 5: I'm not making it up. I swear I'm not making
Speaker 5: it up over Trump and this She's a crazy hippie
Speaker 5: liberal and this issue of tariffs. Okay, so Canada is
Speaker 5: about to get hit with another round of tariffs. Trump
Speaker 5: is not playing games with them. He doesn't like what
Speaker 5: he's seeing coming out of the Canadian government and the
Speaker 5: Prime Minister Mark Kearney. And let me just redo this
Speaker 5: post I saw. Next. President Trump declares the US will
Speaker 5: immediately end all trade talks with Canada after they moved
Speaker 5: to slap a digital services tax on American tech companies.
Speaker 5: This is what we're doing in California. Actually we just
Speaker 5: did it. We just so you know, socialists love this
Speaker 5: kind of thing. We just in January. All of our
Speaker 5: services are about to get more expensive because the legislature
Speaker 5: supposedly elected, but it's a dictatorship at this point. Here
Speaker 5: in California, they voted for a new digital services tax
Speaker 5: is to punish Silicon Valley for leaving. It makes no sense,
Speaker 5: right because you're punishing people. Well, they're probably going to
Speaker 5: go where there's no punishment. But nobody said any of
Speaker 5: this stuff has to make sense. It doesn't have to
Speaker 5: make sense to them. It just has to feel good.
Speaker 5: So we're doing the same thing here. But Trump says,
Speaker 5: writes on true social we will let Canada know the
Speaker 5: tariff that they will be paying to do business with
Speaker 5: the United States of America within the next seven day period.
Speaker 5: We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult
Speaker 5: country to trade with trade in all caps, including the
Speaker 5: fact that they have charged our farmers as much as
Speaker 5: four hundred percent tariffs for years on dairy products, has
Speaker 5: just announced they are putting a digital services tax on
Speaker 5: our American technology companies, which is a direct and blatant
Speaker 5: attack on our country. They are obviously copying the European Union,
Speaker 5: which has done the same thing and it's currently under
Speaker 5: discussion with US. Also based on this egregious tax, we
Speaker 5: hereby are terminating all discussions on trade with Canada, effective immediately.
Speaker 5: We will let Canada know the tariff that they will
Speaker 5: be paying to do business with the United States of
Speaker 5: America with in the next seven day period. Thank you
Speaker 5: for this, for your attention to this matter. And during
Speaker 5: the first round when he first took office, the first
Speaker 5: round of tariff talks, that was when my mother she
Speaker 5: didn't even call or anything. It's the whole thing. I'm
Speaker 5: not going to get into the personal stuff of it.
Speaker 5: Feel free to feel sorry for me if you want,
Speaker 5: but we are fine. But she just sent a message
Speaker 5: on Facebook to my husband and she was like, oh,
Speaker 5: I can't come. Was she supposed to come for graduations?
Speaker 5: We had graduations last year. We can't come for I
Speaker 5: can't come for graduations because the bad Orange Man is
Speaker 5: not very friendly and you don't threaten this is what
Speaker 5: she said. You don't threaten, closest your closest neighbors and
Speaker 5: allies with tariffs. Therefore, I just can't be a part
Speaker 5: of your lives as long as he's president. So that
Speaker 5: was we haven't heard from her since. We haven't had
Speaker 5: a peep, a card, a call, a text, nothing, just nothing.
Speaker 5: So the Canadians are taking it real hard and to
Speaker 5: the point where they're like cutting off family members. But
Speaker 5: the Canada is weird man. Canada's entire identity at this
Speaker 5: point in that nation's history is just being anti America.
Speaker 5: And I just read an article yesterday. They have experienced
Speaker 5: the steepest drop in Native Canadian residents, that's Canadians who
Speaker 5: were born there, Native Canadian residents in the entire nation's history.
Speaker 5: One hundred and seventy eight thousand working age able body
Speaker 5: young adults leaving Canada for greener past years because it's
Speaker 5: so bad there and they want to institute another tax.
Speaker 5: Let me tell you what's happening with Canada. Canada is
Speaker 5: not owned by the Canadian anymore, Canadians anymore. Canada is
Speaker 5: owned by China. This is a Chinese play right, and
Speaker 5: they did it in the European Union two and they're
Speaker 5: doing it in Africa too. It's called the Belton Road initiative.
Speaker 5: But say, we'll come in. We'll pour all this money
Speaker 5: into your economy because your dumb socialism is making it fail.
Speaker 5: So we'll come in and pour all this money into
Speaker 5: your economy. And all you have to do is enact
Speaker 5: every thing that we want. They China can't invade us,
Speaker 5: Canada certainly can't invade us. But what they can do
Speaker 5: is disrupt our economy. And China trades and this is
Speaker 5: the other point. This is why Trump is being like this.
Speaker 5: China trades with Canada. China ships imports their steel, their metals,
Speaker 5: all of that good stuff that we need, and they
Speaker 5: get around the Chinese tariffs by shipping it to Canada
Speaker 5: first and then Canada shipping it to us. It's a partnership,
Speaker 5: it's a communistic partnership. That's what they're doing. We need
Speaker 5: a wall with Canada. Everybody we need a wall with Canada.
Speaker 5: I'm not even kidding. Those people are not okay up there.
Speaker 5: I went there two years ago. Last time I got
Speaker 5: to see my mom in person, and I was shocked.
Speaker 5: I was absolutely shocked when I left and me and
Speaker 5: my whole family left going we're never coming back here.
Speaker 5: I was shocked. And that's why when people say, well,
Speaker 5: we love the Albertans. You know, hopefully Alberta gets independence,
Speaker 5: and I really hope they do. But I don't want
Speaker 5: all these Canadians coming down here. I really don't, because
Speaker 5: even the conservative Canadians are baked and steeped in socialism.
Speaker 5: Trust me, you have a I know you have a
Speaker 5: different mindset when you come here. They don't even totally
Speaker 5: understand the concept of free speech. Even the conservative Canadians.
Speaker 5: You will hear them say but right, they'll use a
Speaker 5: butt when they're talking about free speech. They like the
Speaker 5: Second Amendment, but they still don't understand the total application
Speaker 5: of the Second Amendment and how it's supposed to be
Speaker 5: for everyone and there are no lip, there shouldn't be
Speaker 5: any limits. They don't understand again, because they're baked in socialism,
Speaker 5: and it's really hard mindset to kick, so those people
Speaker 5: come down here too. That's why I went to Portugal
Speaker 5: last year with my family. We went to small chain
Speaker 5: of islands, the Asaurus off the coast. Great, but they're
Speaker 5: having immigrant problems there too. Guess where their number one
Speaker 5: problem is Canadians. There's a huge Portuguese population in Canada.
Speaker 5: The second and third generation are moving back to Portugal
Speaker 5: because Canada is such a mess. But they're coming with
Speaker 5: all their liberal and socialist values, and the Portuguese hate
Speaker 5: them because no matter what's been done to them in immigration,
Speaker 5: they're a very conservative Catholic population. They hate Canadians there.
Speaker 5: They talked so bad about the Canadians when I was visiting.
Speaker 5: It brought me no end of joy because I hate
Speaker 5: Canada too. It's a failure of a nation. It's raised
Speaker 5: a bunch of failures of people, and now it's importing failures,
Speaker 5: third world failures at an alarming rate. And those third
Speaker 5: world failures are stopping there. They're crossing the border into
Speaker 5: our country and then becoming our problem. And that's what
Speaker 5: a lot of this is. This these threats from Trump,
Speaker 5: He's trying to fix the problem. They're a problem. All right.
Speaker 5: Let's take a break. I'll be right back. I'm Cia
Speaker 5: Davis filling it for Tony Kats. It's Tony Kats today.
Speaker 5: Welcome back, everybody. It's Tony Katz today. Kira Davis here
Speaker 5: on the mic for you, bringing you home. On this Monday,
Speaker 5: August twenty fourth. Tony stepped out in the second hour,
Speaker 5: so I popped in for him. Oh, it's fine to
Speaker 5: be on the mic. I was reading during the break.
Speaker 5: Excuse me this post from Bill Mallusion over at Fox News.
Speaker 5: Bill's a hometown boy. Bill is from southern California. We
Speaker 5: love Bill, I'll tell you I And he's also very handsome.
Speaker 5: He's easy on the eyes. I'm all right. But he
Speaker 5: was a local report order for Fox eleven here in
Speaker 5: the Los Angeles area, and I first noticed him during
Speaker 5: the BLM riot. So you remember the summer. O love
Speaker 5: the summer OBLM. And he was at when we're all
Speaker 5: confined to our homes and being fined and shut down
Speaker 5: and threatened for leaving our homes or celebrating Easter with
Speaker 5: our families. The BLM activists were just out there in
Speaker 5: the streets willingly doing whatever. And his reporting was so
Speaker 5: spot on, it was so good. He was calm, and
Speaker 5: I didn't know he was conservative at the time because
Speaker 5: that Fox local channels that means nothing, you know. But
Speaker 5: I didn't know if he was conservative or Republican. I
Speaker 5: just he just he got the story and I was like, Wow,
Speaker 5: this guy is dogged. He got the story. So it
Speaker 5: was great to see him move up to Fox News
Speaker 5: the home office. Anyways, he says Fox DHS. This is
Speaker 5: an exclusive. DHS tells Fox News that ICE has quietly
Speaker 5: carried out one of its most successful operations in agency history,
Speaker 5: resulting in the arrests of thirteen hundred and twenty eight
Speaker 5: illegal aliens in just a fourteen day span in the
Speaker 5: states of Virginia and Maryland. Nearly four hundred of the
Speaker 5: aliens had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, including a
Speaker 5: Salvadorian illegal alien wanted by police in Richmond, Virginia on
Speaker 5: a murder warrant. Other targets included aliens with rap sheets
Speaker 5: for attempted murder and rape, as well as convictions for
Speaker 5: sexual battery, kidnapping, robbery, and DWI. The operation primarily targeted
Speaker 5: the sanctuary jurisdiction suburbs in Virginia and Maryland around Washington, DC.
Speaker 5: And ICE arrested anyone in the US illegally, regardless of
Speaker 5: any criminal history. So we're finally to the point in
Speaker 5: the timeline that the liberals were all freaked out about
Speaker 5: and lying about in the beginning. We're finally here when
Speaker 5: they were like, oh, said the worst first, but you're
Speaker 5: just picking up everyone, And Trump was like, no, we're
Speaker 5: picking up the worst first, but everybody. So I hope
Speaker 5: you're happy. I'm happy. We need more. We obviously need more.
Speaker 5: I think this is a man power issue. I think
Speaker 5: ICE is willing to They're funded now through twenty nine.
Speaker 5: They're willing to deport as many people as they can
Speaker 5: get their hands on. They need the man power. If
Speaker 5: you are a young man or women or woman, I
Speaker 5: don't think women should be on the front lines of
Speaker 5: law enforcement. So I'm going to discourage women who want
Speaker 5: to do that. Is that controversial. I don't think it
Speaker 5: should be. Because if you're like me and your doom
Speaker 5: scrolling at night and you get caught up in the
Speaker 5: police confrontation videos with like unruly suspects, I can't tell you.
Speaker 5: I'm in the hundreds now of clips up I've watched
Speaker 5: of female police officers who cannot control a suspect, not
Speaker 5: because they don't want to or because they're bad at
Speaker 5: their job, but they're weak. I've watched men just pull
Speaker 5: away from them and run away. I watched one encounter
Speaker 5: the other day where it was a female and her
Speaker 5: male partner and a particularly unruly suspect at the p
Speaker 5: and I think it was in Huntingdon Beach and he
Speaker 5: could they could not get him under control. A citizen
Speaker 5: had to step in and help handcup the guy because
Speaker 5: he just kept pushing a woman off. Imagine her male
Speaker 5: partner him.
Speaker 2: Just you know.
Speaker 5: And actually I did comment on that story, and I
Speaker 5: did get a message from somebody who said, privately, Hey,
Speaker 5: my husband is a police officer, and it's like every
Speaker 5: officer's worst nightmare to have to take the female partner
Speaker 5: because he knows that nine times out of ten he's
Speaker 5: going to have to stop what he's doing to rescue
Speaker 5: her too. So it's just a burden. I don't think
Speaker 5: women belong on the front lines, but there's obviously plenty
Speaker 5: of jobs in law enforcement for women. So anyway, ICE
Speaker 5: is offering I think a fifty thousand dollars signing bonus,
Speaker 5: So I don't know if it's a great place to start,
Speaker 5: if you're just starting out, young men, and you're strong,
Speaker 5: and you got a lot of testosterone, and you're and
Speaker 5: you don't have a lot of fear, go help ice
Speaker 5: preserve the homeland. That's what we need. We need to
Speaker 5: see more of this. But when I read down that
Speaker 5: rap sheet, thank you, Bill Malusian. When I read down
Speaker 5: that rap sheet, like some of the things that these
Speaker 5: guys got picked up for, so they have been unleashed
Speaker 5: onto the population of America for decades now, some of
Speaker 5: them for decades after rape, murder, the fast convictions, all
Speaker 5: of these domestic violence, and they're still on our streets.
Speaker 5: When I tell you the misery is the point you
Speaker 5: all need to listen to me, because here is the
Speaker 5: thing that we're We're very proud to be Americans, because
Speaker 5: we have a lot to be proud of. And one
Speaker 5: of the things we pride ourselves on is our military might,
Speaker 5: our strength, and our Second Amendment. And come and take it,
Speaker 5: and you know we're not you're No one can defeat
Speaker 5: our military if we don't want to be defeated. No
Speaker 5: one can defeat our innovation, no one can defeat our economy.
Speaker 5: Yet You know, we have so much to be proud of,
Speaker 5: and we brag about so much of this stuff, but
Speaker 5: then we focus on that part our physical might, our
Speaker 5: economic might, and we don't realize that the enemy has plans.
Speaker 5: They're smart too, They're not all total idiots. They know
Speaker 5: we can't be toppled by a military coup. I dare
Speaker 5: say the Biden administration was the closest thing to a coup,
Speaker 5: and I think it actually was a coup that we
Speaker 5: have ever gotten in this country. But the idea of
Speaker 5: China marching in with military and taking over this country,
Speaker 5: that's not going to happen. The idea of the leftist
Speaker 5: DSA members and communists who have taken over the Democrat
Speaker 5: Party and are now sitting in our government. The idea
Speaker 5: of them suddenly taking away the Second Amendment. They try
Speaker 5: so hard, don't they, But they can't take it away.
Speaker 5: The First Amendment. They try so hard, don't they, But
Speaker 5: they can't. They have not been able to be successful
Speaker 5: in that.
Speaker 2: So how do.
Speaker 5: They do it? They unleash the lawless to punish the lawful.
Speaker 5: The government, the people in government who hate you, the
Speaker 5: bureaucrats who hate you, You, the taxpayer, they cannot take
Speaker 5: away your First Amendment or Second Amendment rights. They cannot
Speaker 5: defeat America militarily. They cannot defeat the values and ideals
Speaker 5: and institutions that made this country great in the first place.
Speaker 5: They can't do it with might, So they have to
Speaker 5: do it with They have to do it with ideas,
Speaker 5: and they have to do it by letting the letting
Speaker 5: the crazy people do what they can't do legally. That's
Speaker 5: why BLM, just to go back the callback to that
Speaker 5: point I made earlier. That's why BLM was allowed to
Speaker 5: be out there in the streets, burning stuff down, burning
Speaker 5: statues down, burning churches. They're still burning churches, by the way,
Speaker 5: burning churches. That's why they were allowed to be out there.
Speaker 5: That's why they opened the borders and let all of
Speaker 5: these people stream in. That's why when they picked up
Speaker 5: an illegal alien on something horrific like rape or murder
Speaker 5: of a baby, they let that person go. That person
Speaker 5: is your punishment. Do you understand what I mean? You
Speaker 5: they're punishing you. They hate you because you're a law
Speaker 5: abiding citizen. They hate you because you want to keep
Speaker 5: your paycheck, you want to raise your own family, and
Speaker 5: you want to have your ideas. They hate you for that.
Speaker 5: They hate you for believing in God, They hate you
Speaker 5: for believing in a higher power. They hate you for
Speaker 5: believing in the necessity of the nuclear family. They hate you,
Speaker 5: and they can't punish you because they can't work. They
Speaker 5: can't have their little bit of power in government, whatever
Speaker 5: it is, dog catcher or congressman. They can't hold that
Speaker 5: and keep that position if they unleash upon you what
Speaker 5: they really want to be unleashed on you. So what
Speaker 5: they do is they allow the lawless to punish the
Speaker 5: law abiding. That's what you're seeing, that's what's happening. That's
Speaker 5: why all this violence, that's why none of these people
Speaker 5: get charged prosecuted. Washington Post just just was ordered to
Speaker 5: rehire the reporter that they fired for saying something vile
Speaker 5: about the death of Charlie Kirk and lying about him.
Speaker 5: Now they've got to rehire her. I hope they appeal
Speaker 5: that even though she spoke violent rhetoric, and if the
Speaker 5: tables were turned, she would be gone in a heartbeat.
Speaker 5: That's why, because the whole idea, all of it, and
Speaker 5: you heard those I played the DSA clip, this DSA
Speaker 5: zoom clip that is that going to be heller. Well,
Speaker 5: that's that's what hell is, everybody. It's not burning in
Speaker 5: a lake of fire for eternity. It's going to be
Speaker 5: having to watch a DSA corporate zoom over and over again.
Speaker 5: That's how. But you heard them talk about, look, we
Speaker 5: have to do this stuff violently. We have to overthrow
Speaker 5: throw these people violently. They the lawless, the gangs, the rapists,
Speaker 5: the illegal aliens, even the lefties who are getting more
Speaker 5: and more aggressive at protests out there, more and more bold.
Speaker 5: It's all designed to punish the law abiding. You are
Speaker 5: the people who are standing between communism and the United States.
Speaker 5: It's you. That's why they work so hard to abolish
Speaker 5: private property through by any means necessary. That's why they're
Speaker 5: always raising your taxes. It's why they raise the minimum
Speaker 5: wage to a rate that no small business owner can pay.
Speaker 5: And then they tell us we have to import cheap labor,
Speaker 5: slave labor because businesses can't. It's all part of it.
Speaker 5: The misery is the point. The lawless are their soldiers.
Speaker 5: That's why they didn't care to deport them. That's why
Speaker 5: they open the doors to let them in. They're your
Speaker 5: punishment and the ultimate punishment is going to be that
Speaker 5: we're going to have to become violent that to protect ourselves.
Speaker 5: You know, not saying go out there and be violent,
Speaker 5: but what I'm saying is when these people show up
Speaker 5: at your doorstep like they did in Minnesota, where these
Speaker 5: invaded total like entire neighborhoods that they thought Ice was in,
Speaker 5: and they're still doing this stuff for the church that
Speaker 5: they invaded, at some point those of us who are
Speaker 5: just law abiding citizens are going to have to engage
Speaker 5: in things that we shouldn't even have to think about
Speaker 5: as law abiding citizens because we pay our taxes to
Speaker 5: not think about these things. It's all on purpose. The
Speaker 5: lawless are their soldiers, and the lawless are being unleashed
Speaker 5: against you to punish the lawless. And this is why
Speaker 5: I feel very strongly that we have to renormalize normal
Speaker 5: in our enclaves again. Renormalize telling somebody when they're behaving
Speaker 5: badly in public, be discerning because some people are dangerous ladies.
Speaker 5: That's not probably an instruction for you, right, but we
Speaker 5: need to renormalize good behavior, renormalize accountability. It at the
Speaker 5: lowest form and the highest form. I'll give you a
Speaker 5: for instance, one day, I was up at the school
Speaker 5: picking up some kids and for the kids, and there
Speaker 5: was a girl. It was middle school, and she had
Speaker 5: a cast on her leg. She was hobbling through the
Speaker 5: door and a boy went in front of her and
Speaker 5: just opened the door and blew through the door and
Speaker 5: then didn't hold the door for her. So I very
Speaker 5: nicely stepped out. I opened the door for the girl,
Speaker 5: and then I said to the young man, young man,
Speaker 5: don't just walk out the door where they're while there
Speaker 5: is a girl behind you with crutches. Hold the door
Speaker 5: for her. And my daughter was so embarrassed when she's like,
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, Mom, why why'd you do that? No,
Speaker 5: somebody needs to remind the kids we need to renormalize this.
Speaker 5: There used to be a time when it would have
Speaker 5: been normal for him to stop and consider who was
Speaker 5: coming through the door behind him. So it's little things
Speaker 5: like that, and it's big things like normalizing a border.
Speaker 5: You know, it's all of that. Renormalize normal because they're
Speaker 5: trying to push us into a situation where we become
Speaker 5: people we don't want to be. All right, let's take
Speaker 5: one more break. I'm Cure Davis filling it for Tony Kats.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Tony Kats today. That great. You're a
Speaker 5: Davis back now. That's today. So good to be with
Speaker 5: you today. I just want to take a reminder before
Speaker 5: run out of time, go find me on X at
Speaker 5: Kia Davis k I R A d A v I
Speaker 5: s if X is your vibe. If you like Instagram,
Speaker 5: is just here Davis j ust Kia Davis. And definitely
Speaker 5: check out my substat at just Credavis dot com. It's
Speaker 5: like my newsletter. All my thoughts are there. Those three
Speaker 5: places you're going to get the very most from me.
Speaker 5: I do podcasts, but it's sort of like when I
Speaker 5: feel like it, and uh, mainly my main gig is
Speaker 5: filling in on radio and writing, so but you can
Speaker 5: catch me saying things from time to time. And don't
Speaker 5: forget my Christmas podcast. If you love cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies,
Speaker 5: my bestie Amelia and I have a Christmas all year
Speaker 5: brown podcast called Journey to Christmas Land where we review
Speaker 5: all these cheesy Christmas movies and it's so much fun.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get Tony on there at some point before
Speaker 5: we go. I do want to take a moment to
Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys have heard this very
Speaker 5: important news and shocking news actually, but Megan Markle and
Speaker 5: Prince Harry are considering a move back to the UK.
Speaker 5: It looks like they are moving back to the UK.
Speaker 5: I don't know how many of you were waiting on
Speaker 5: pins and needles to hear this, but let me tell you,
Speaker 5: Ice is so good. They're even deporting people that they
Speaker 5: haven't tried to deport yet. I don't know if they're
Speaker 5: going to get that three thousand dollars from the government
Speaker 5: to self deport. It sounds to me like they do
Speaker 5: need the money, though I have heard that they are
Speaker 5: in dire financial straits, so I don't know if they're
Speaker 5: going to If they are, I would highly recommend missus
Speaker 5: Meghan Sussex or whatever she calls herself to, you know,
Speaker 5: apply for that three thousand bucks and just to port
Speaker 5: yourselves out of here. But yeah, it looks like the
Speaker 5: Prince and his American bride are going to go crawling
Speaker 5: back to the UK. Apparently there were some rumors that
Speaker 5: she was going to get an acting gig there, which
Speaker 5: is hilarious because you know, that's the reason a royal
Speaker 5: family told her to quit her job. If you're in
Speaker 5: the Royal family, you don't have a job. Your job
Speaker 5: is the firm, Your job is the Royal family. Anyways,
Speaker 5: I just wanted to say good riddance to them, because,
Speaker 5: you know, if there was any better example of why
Speaker 5: we left the British Union, you know why we left
Speaker 5: the British Empire, it's them, right. If you have you
Speaker 5: ever met more useless people, they are the anti American Americans.
Speaker 5: Really they I've never seen people who have so much
Speaker 5: at their fingertips, so much potential. They could have literally
Speaker 5: done anything. They could have been a big influence there
Speaker 5: in the UK, just her as an American princess, a
Speaker 5: black American princess. But no, they had to have all
Speaker 5: their cake and eat it too, and true, no we
Speaker 5: didn't want that bs. Good riddance to them, Not good
Speaker 5: riddance to you, but goodbye, catching next time. It's been
Speaker 5: five teticats to day.
