Speaker 1: Why from ball Hartbiner and the Crossroads of America.
Speaker 2: It's Tony Katz today. Good morning.
Speaker 3: My name is Colin MacDonald, Assistant Attorney General for the
Speaker 3: National Fraud Enforcement Division at the Department of Justice. Everywhere
Speaker 3: we look, we find fraud. Hundreds of billions of taxpayer
Speaker 3: dollars taken from our pockets by criminals every year. For
Speaker 3: that reason, President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Acting Attorney
Speaker 3: General Blanche have rightly activated the DOJ and our fraud
Speaker 3: fighting partners to combat this fraud epidemic head on, because
Speaker 3: no one should be able to rip off the United
Speaker 3: States of America and get away with it. I am
Speaker 3: honored to be joined today by some of our best
Speaker 3: fraud fighters. CMS Administrator Doctor Oz, US Attorney David Metcalf,
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania Attorney General David Sunday, HHS Inspector.
Speaker 2: General Marsh Bell. Yes, yes, Yes, it's a lot of people.
Speaker 2: Get to the fraud. Who's going to jail? That's all
Speaker 2: I want to know, That's all I want to see.
Speaker 2: It's all I care about. Don't want to hear about
Speaker 2: the rest. Yeah, you got a whole panel flea of people.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're absolutely excellent everybody goes out for ice cream. Afterwards,
Speaker 2: you get a stick, and you get a stick. It's
Speaker 2: full on shorsey. Who goes to jail, That's the only
Speaker 2: question we have. Stop talking about everything else. Who committed
Speaker 2: the fraud? How much fraud did they commit? Who goes
Speaker 2: to jail? What are we going to do to them
Speaker 2: in jail because a bunch of us because of the fraud.
Speaker 2: We've got a list, because someone we know didn't get
Speaker 2: the care they were supposed to get. An American we
Speaker 2: know didn't get the care they were supposed to get,
Speaker 2: And we want to take these fraudsters, and man, we
Speaker 2: want to treat them bad. Thank goodness, we've got a
Speaker 2: system of justice that doesn't allow for that kind of vengeance.
Speaker 2: So we're just going to have to think about those
Speaker 2: things in our head while they spend time in jail. Now,
Speaker 2: who goes to jail? That's the only question. Everything else
Speaker 2: is nonsense, pablem ridiculousness. Tony Katz, Tony Katz Today, Good
Speaker 2: to be here, Good to be with you. Find everything
Speaker 2: I do over at Tony Katz dot com. T O
Speaker 2: n Y Katz, Tony Katz dot com. Collin McDonald's assistant
Speaker 2: ag and they are announcing fraud in Pennsylvania where nineteen
Speaker 2: people got charged, nineteen different people. They're referring to it
Speaker 2: as a major, major takedown of these fraudsters. What did
Speaker 2: they say?
Speaker 3: Public servants is committed to looking further, digging deeper.
Speaker 2: Working night and day. Tell me about them.
Speaker 3: Have the fraudsters stealing the wealth of America and bring
Speaker 3: them to justice.
Speaker 2: Tell me about it.
Speaker 3: And this commitment is reaping dividends right here and right now.
Speaker 2: In Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3: Today, we are announcing criminal charges against nineteen defendants for
Speaker 3: fraudulent home health care schemes that targeted Pennsylvania's Medicaid fraud
Speaker 3: program and resulted in over four million.
Speaker 2: Dollars of fraud.
Speaker 3: Eighteen of these defendants were charged in the last twelve
Speaker 3: days as part of a strategically coordinated law enforcement operation
Speaker 3: between the Fraud Division, the US Attorney's Office, and the
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office. The cases today build on the
Speaker 3: work that we recently announced in Minnesota, where we charge
Speaker 3: fifteen defendants for systematically looting seven state managed Medicaid programs
Speaker 3: out of more than ninety million dollars, treating those programs
Speaker 3: like a piggy bank until one of them had to
Speaker 3: be shut down entirely because there was nothing left.
Speaker 2: The shelves were empty. When do they go to jail?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, broken record, Am I repeating myself? You know,
Speaker 2: I think I'm one of the few I could be wrong.
Speaker 2: I think I'm one of the few people who says
Speaker 2: out loud that shutting down DOGE was an absolutely terrible mistake.
Speaker 2: Shutting down DOGE was wrong. Doj is good, dog is right,
Speaker 2: Dog is proper. We have fraud, Let's get rid of
Speaker 2: the fraud. Let's throw the fraudsters in jail, and let's
Speaker 2: keep the money for the American people. Put it back
Speaker 2: in their pocket. We can pay down some debt. I'll
Speaker 2: let you do either one. Why in the world would
Speaker 2: we ever stop getting rid of fraud because we shut
Speaker 2: down USAID? Good well tony people died with all due respect.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no, no no no. It
Speaker 2: was a slush fund utilized for political purpose. That's not
Speaker 2: enough of a reason to keep it afloat. You could
Speaker 2: have kept specific programs afloat utilizing other methodologies, like we
Speaker 2: kept amfAR afloat. So don't tell me USAID had to
Speaker 2: be there. It never had to be there. It had
Speaker 2: to be shut down. I say good, and I will
Speaker 2: say it anywhere, anytime, any place. You could have handled
Speaker 2: these things like normal people, but nope, had to be
Speaker 2: political first, and somehow USAID has to stay because you
Speaker 2: want to engage in these politics. Screw that and screw up.
Speaker 2: And now we tell jokes about your mother and they
Speaker 2: will be unkind. When do these people go to jail?
Speaker 2: Nineteen people involved in the fraud. Now this is four
Speaker 2: million dollars and someone's going to say, oh wow, four
Speaker 2: million dollars. I want to meet the person who's a
Speaker 2: part of this show day in and day out, who
Speaker 2: is going to take a look at four million dollars
Speaker 2: and say I don't need that. And then I'm going
Speaker 2: to say when did Elon start listening to the show,
Speaker 2: Because everybody else is going to say, yeah, I want
Speaker 2: my four million dollars. It's full on, say anything, I
Speaker 2: want my two dollars, I want my four million dollars.
Speaker 2: You better believe it. This is nineteen people and four
Speaker 2: million dollars. How many people out there do we think
Speaker 2: are engaged in these acts of fraud? How about we
Speaker 2: do it this way? I'll even pull out a calculator
Speaker 2: just to make it easy. If I can have nineteen
Speaker 2: people right there in Pennsylvania doing four million dollars with
Speaker 2: a fraud, I'll take a four million right there, right
Speaker 2: four million, four million, right right right there? Okay, And
Speaker 2: how many states are their their producer land? And how
Speaker 2: many states do we have in the United States of America.
Speaker 2: I believe the correct answer is fifty. Now, correct answer
Speaker 2: is fifty seven. Barack Obama said, so you don't know anything.
Speaker 2: Back to middle school. You go fifty states times the
Speaker 2: four million that is, that's that's two hundred million dollars, right,
Speaker 2: Just so I understand, it's two hundred million dollars. I
Speaker 2: did the math correctly, even used a calculator. That's our
Speaker 2: two hundred million dollars. Now, I'm gonna look something up.
Speaker 2: How many homeless of veterans in the United States. Now,
Speaker 2: the number is not going to be perfect, but according
Speaker 2: to recent data, there are thirty two thousand, four hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety five veterans experiencing homelessness in the United States.
Speaker 2: So if we take our two hundred million and we
Speaker 2: divide it by thirty two thousand, four hundred and ninety five.
Speaker 2: That would give well, that would start by giving what
Speaker 2: six thousand dollars to every homeless person. I don't know
Speaker 2: what to start. If I took a look at how
Speaker 2: many nurses we have in the United States, and there
Speaker 2: are four point three million people working as nurses, can
Speaker 2: I have a system by which we pick some and
Speaker 2: we pay up their student loan debt. I'm I'm spitballing here, guys.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of all the things we can do with
Speaker 2: two hundred million dollars. Can we just give it back
Speaker 2: to the Americans who paid for this. The people who
Speaker 2: want to act like this is small, like this is nothing,
Speaker 2: Like this is no big deal, they are the worst.
Speaker 2: This is a big deal. This is a massive deal.
Speaker 2: Every time we can find these people, every time we
Speaker 2: can pluck them out, every time we can get this
Speaker 2: money back, we are doing a bit of good. We're
Speaker 2: doing the right thing. This is, in its entirety what
Speaker 2: I voted for. I don't know about you. I honestly
Speaker 2: you don't know what you voted for. It's sure as
Speaker 2: hell what I voted for. But I also want the
Speaker 2: fronts in jail. I want them in jail. It's not
Speaker 2: enough to just say we found this money. Jail Now,
Speaker 2: I admit, I admit I want worse. I want worse
Speaker 2: for them, but we have a justice system and that's
Speaker 2: what I'm going to work with.
Speaker 4: So jail it is. What did doctor Oz have to
Speaker 4: say here? Services crisis around the country. The surge in
Speaker 4: enrollment of individuals in these and programs is stunning, so shocking.
Speaker 4: We have to double check out numbers. We don't think
Speaker 4: it's possible that is happening, but it is. In California
Speaker 4: and New York, the number one job in the entire
Speaker 4: state is personal care services. Guess what's good to be home?
Speaker 4: Because it's true in Pennsylvania to fifty percent dramatic, maybe
Speaker 4: more people serving in the personal care services space. That's
Speaker 4: home care, that is in retail. That's where Pennsylvanians are going.
Speaker 4: It's becoming a jobs program. Medicaid fraud in the state
Speaker 4: is costing taxpayers for care that was never delivered or even.
Speaker 2: Worse, harmful.
Speaker 4: It's costing patients their health, their trust in a system,
Speaker 4: a system that was built on a high trust environment,
Speaker 4: a place we all thought that we would be able
Speaker 4: to be safe because who would steal from the poor
Speaker 4: has called outlined. Many people, unfortunately, are doing just that,
Speaker 4: and we're coming after them. What we're exposing today is
Speaker 4: a diabolical breach of trust, a violation of the sacred
Speaker 4: bond between patient and hair and caregiver. It is a
Speaker 4: catastrophe that can only be dealt with in the way
Speaker 4: will be outlined for the rest of this presentation.
Speaker 2: Now, you may be asking the same question that I'm asking,
Speaker 2: who are the fraudsters? Who were the fraudsters? According to
Speaker 2: the Attorney General of Pennsylvania, the two of these people,
Speaker 2: women Ashley Griffin and you longed to write Home Health Aids,
Speaker 2: accused of defrauding Medicaid by submitting nearly one point five
Speaker 2: million in reimbursements for work not performed and on more
Speaker 2: than one thousand occasions. Griffin, who's twenty seven, submitted entries
Speaker 2: time entries exceeding twenty four hour work hours for a
Speaker 2: single day. She reported one hundred and twenty six work
Speaker 2: hours on one day. And then this other woman said, hey,
Speaker 2: you could submit entries using my name. I want to
Speaker 2: know how long this was going on. You heard me,
Speaker 2: and you're doing the same head scratch. I am twenty
Speaker 2: four hours in a day, and you submitted for one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty six hours in a day, and you
Speaker 2: thought no one was going in a notice. But you're
Speaker 2: not totally wrong because it's government, and government doesn't notice anything.
Speaker 2: They just write a check because it's not their money.
Speaker 2: You get double charged for Netflix. You know what's going on.
Speaker 2: Someone's billing one hundred and twenty six hours a day.
Speaker 2: She's not even a lawyer, and government's like, here, here's
Speaker 2: a check. Who goes to jail? Who goes to jail? Oh,
Speaker 2: if they're not citizens, immediately deported, they can challenge it
Speaker 2: from whatever country they're from. If they're not a citizen,
Speaker 2: immediately deported. We don't even waste time. Whoop out. This
Speaker 2: is good, This is extremely important stuff. But it will
Speaker 2: only matter if there are consequences. It will only matter
Speaker 2: if there's jail time for American citizens. It will only
Speaker 2: matter if there's deportation for non Americans. And I don't
Speaker 2: give a good Holy damn what country they go back to.
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear judge tell me, Oh, it's
Speaker 2: too violent. Violence is stealing from Americans. Violence is being
Speaker 2: allowed into this country and stealing from Americans. Violence is
Speaker 2: taking an oath saying you will be a citizen and
Speaker 2: then stealing from Americans. Gone. I can't do anything about
Speaker 2: the person born here except jail. And if the left
Speaker 2: or anybody else is up for a fight on this,
Speaker 2: cool by me. Any support of fraudsters. Those people need
Speaker 2: to be dealt with. You can't be voting for, you
Speaker 2: can't be respected, you can't be liked, you can't come
Speaker 2: to Thanksgiving dinner. And no, we can't hang out for
Speaker 2: a cigar. Your persona non grad a bitch. Get out.
Speaker 2: That's the answer, I swear. If we can't agree on
Speaker 2: just the basics, on the basics of you can't steal
Speaker 2: from Americans, we've gotten nothing nothing, So yeah, we got
Speaker 2: to uphold the standard. Some people got to go to jail.
Speaker 2: Like Harvey Kaiitel said in National Treasure, someone's got to
Speaker 2: go to jail, and the rest need to be deported.
Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony kats today. The Iran
Speaker 2: update goes as follows, we're not hitting anybody with any bombs.
Speaker 2: We can hit people with bombs. We've chosen not to
Speaker 2: hit people with bombs. We might still hit people with bombs,
Speaker 2: and if we bomb them. They will know that they
Speaker 2: have been bombed, but we're not bombing them yet because
Speaker 2: we don't necessarily want to bomb them. I actually think
Speaker 2: I have a full understanding of our foreign policy now,
Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, guys, good to be with you.
Speaker 2: I hope you're doing well. This was President Trump yesterday
Speaker 2: in the old.
Speaker 5: At the fifth time you turn off air strikes, you
Speaker 5: on to do what is your mississudior and people who.
Speaker 6: Are what are?
Speaker 7: Love has changed this time.
Speaker 2: While should be well, you don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 8: I think we're going to maybe get something, but I
Speaker 8: want to give them every last chance for decapitation.
Speaker 2: Very tough to do. What we have planned still planned.
Speaker 8: We'll see what happens, but it's a very very tough
Speaker 8: thing to do.
Speaker 2: I think I'm very proud of the fact that I
Speaker 2: will give people. I'll give you a chance. This is
Speaker 2: a big move to do.
Speaker 7: An attack that big o a country, and I'd rather
Speaker 7: not do.
Speaker 8: And now we've already through lots of large attacks, but
Speaker 8: they were normal large.
Speaker 2: Hopefully they'll come.
Speaker 8: To their senses because what happened can cannot have a
Speaker 8: nuclear weapon, but hopefully they'll come to their senses.
Speaker 2: So they called me. And now before we get to
Speaker 2: how the phone call went, mister president, they're never going
Speaker 2: to come to their senses. They want you dead, they
Speaker 2: want me dead, they want everybody as part of this
Speaker 2: show dead. They want America destroyed, and they want to
Speaker 2: rule in an as lom as hell escape. So let's
Speaker 2: not talked about come to their senses. But if you
Speaker 2: want to tell me how they came to you said, well,
Speaker 2: I'm listening. I do love a good story. How did
Speaker 2: that happen? Said, police own attack.
Speaker 8: We'll make a deal. That's the real truth. And everyone
Speaker 8: knows it, and who wouldn't call them? And they found
Speaker 8: out through leaks and sleeves bags, you know a lot
Speaker 8: of sleeves bags, leakers.
Speaker 2: Leakers should be put in jail. They should. They have
Speaker 2: to strengthen up the laws for leakers.
Speaker 8: But in this case, leakers helped because they said the
Speaker 8: severity of the attack, and.
Speaker 2: Aroan knew it, They knew what was coming.
Speaker 8: It was going to come last night, and it would
Speaker 8: have gone on for a long time and they'd be
Speaker 8: essentially very little left, there'd be nothing left.
Speaker 2: And so what leaked, what leaked was the plan to
Speaker 2: beat the limits, not out of them. No, I have
Speaker 2: questions about who this stuff, and absolutely I'm totally fine
Speaker 2: with saying let's put those people in jail. I question
Speaker 2: whether or not it leaked or it was leaked. I
Speaker 2: can't answer that right what kind of game are we
Speaker 2: playing here? But whether leaked or not leaked is inconsequential.
Speaker 2: I know what you're saying, Tony. Leaks matter greatly Red
Speaker 2: State with the story about what happened here, and it's
Speaker 2: got the reporting from Trey Yinks over there of Fox News,
Speaker 2: who is in Israel. If I can make it play,
Speaker 2: I would be super dangerous. So we know that it
Speaker 2: did leak. We know that there are those who are
Speaker 2: taking it quite seriously. The question before us is whether
Speaker 2: or not it's going to lead to anything that they're
Speaker 2: taking it seriously at the Middle.
Speaker 9: East waits to see if a deal will be reached
Speaker 9: or we'll see a return to war.
Speaker 2: Guy, so trade real quickly.
Speaker 10: The President talked about the military operation that was leaked
Speaker 10: over the weekend. It's obviously they need to figure out
Speaker 10: who's leaking from the White House. That has to be
Speaker 10: someone high within government that put that out there. To
Speaker 10: sources it's our jobs has the press to cover that,
Speaker 10: But I'm curious from your perspective and your sources on
Speaker 10: the state of play that lead played out in the
Speaker 10: Middle East and who then phoned the White House to
Speaker 10: get some negotiating table.
Speaker 9: It's a great question because these leaks can be substantial,
Speaker 9: and when you're looking at a situation with fifty thousand
Speaker 9: US service members destroyers, refuse rulers, fighter jets across the region,
Speaker 9: the operational security is very significant whenever there are plans
Speaker 9: being made to strike Iran, and the President indicated he
Speaker 9: called off the plan strikes at the request not only
Speaker 9: of Iran but also of golf allies.
Speaker 2: Like the golf allies is where I always put it now,
Speaker 2: because I think the golf allies are who we're actually
Speaker 2: negotiating with. Yes, it's possible that it leaked. It's possible
Speaker 2: that it was leaked. If the Pentagon's ben't go to anything,
Speaker 2: it's a misdirection. Who knows that this was even a plan,
Speaker 2: But who's going to believe that any negotiation could take place?
Speaker 2: And so we're same as it ever was. This is
Speaker 2: Tony Katz today. Todd blanch makes it through the Senate. Well,
Speaker 2: I should say at least toe the Senate Committee, and
Speaker 2: now his nomination will go to the full Senate. Tony Katz,
Speaker 2: Tony Katz today, an absolute pleasure to be with you, guys.
Speaker 2: That's Todd Blanche. He is the acting Attorney General and
Speaker 2: everything is moving along as it should. We knew this
Speaker 2: was going to come. We knew this was going to
Speaker 2: be handled, and we knew it was going to be
Speaker 2: handled because he wrote, hey, the weaponization fund is gone,
Speaker 2: and that seemed to satisfy and mullify Senator Tom Tillis
Speaker 2: of North Carolina and Senator John Cornyn of Texas. That
Speaker 2: seems to have proven to people like Dick Durbin that
Speaker 2: Todd Blanche cannot be trusted. The confirmation is nothing more
Speaker 2: than a political nonsense. And everybody's screaming and yelling and
Speaker 2: moving on the Senate actually thinks that their advisor consent
Speaker 2: role is more than it is. It is not. We
Speaker 2: don't now take a look at confirming nominees based on
Speaker 2: a skill set. We look at confirming nominees or not
Speaker 2: based on politics and politics alone. Every attorney general is
Speaker 2: a hand picked attorney general. Merrick Garland was the hand
Speaker 2: picked attorney general of whoever was running the country for
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. Right, That's always the way it is. Eric
Speaker 2: Holder was the hand picked attorney general of Barack Obama.
Speaker 2: That's always the way it is. So this idea of
Speaker 2: hand picked is just too silly for words. Nothing wrong
Speaker 2: with Todd Blanche. Oh the Epstein files. Ah, the Epstein files.
Speaker 2: And yes, there were people there saying that they wish
Speaker 2: that Todd Blanche wasn't confirmed because he didn't release this
Speaker 2: and didn't release that. I have from the beginning on
Speaker 2: the record, no question, favored releasing everything, and came around
Speaker 2: to one of the things we must do is we
Speaker 2: must redact the innocent. Just because your name in the
Speaker 2: Epstein follows doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Just because
Speaker 2: there's a three O two the FBI did an investigation
Speaker 2: or asked some questions doesn't mean you did anything wrong.
Speaker 2: It's not a charge. It's not a document that does
Speaker 2: anything other than say, here's my summation as an FBI
Speaker 2: agent of our conversation. That's a three O two FD
Speaker 2: dash three O two. The idea that Trump did this
Speaker 2: and Trump did that, release everything, release it all. That's
Speaker 2: been my mathematics since day one. And yes, Trump screwed
Speaker 2: it up by not doing that. Todd Blanche can't be
Speaker 2: Attorney general because of that. No no, no, no, no no, don't
Speaker 2: be silly. Don't be silly. But I think the more
Speaker 2: interesting story here is the one about Jean Piro. I say,
Speaker 2: Jean Jeaneine Piro. Janine Piro is the US attorney. She was,
Speaker 2: of course on Fox News Judge Janine. She is the
Speaker 2: US attorney for the District of Columbia, and she decided
Speaker 2: to drop the case against the alleged vandal of the
Speaker 2: reflecting pool. This guy, they named it, David Hearn, who
Speaker 2: is a US Olympian. She said, we're going to drop
Speaker 2: the case. Trump is angry. Trump was in the Oval yesterday.
Speaker 2: He was signing an executive order for military families and
Speaker 2: he was he said, you know what, you know what,
Speaker 2: I think. I'm very mad at her. I'm very upset
Speaker 2: with her. I think she choked, real, did Janine?
Speaker 8: And frankly, I think she choked because the judge was
Speaker 8: really vicious. Instead of going after the people that did it,
Speaker 8: the judge went after her and went after her department.
Speaker 2: And I guess she choked.
Speaker 7: I don't know what the hell happened.
Speaker 2: I don't know what. You're fake news. Don't ever talk again.
Speaker 8: You're fake news, one of the one of the worst
Speaker 8: of the business.
Speaker 2: Fortunately nobody watches you. Okay, well, I don't know who
Speaker 2: he was talking to right there, But did Janine Pierro choke?
Speaker 2: I'll start with a basic question. Does Janine Pierro seem
Speaker 2: like the kind of woman who chokes? Does not seem
Speaker 2: to me to be that kind of person. Piro said
Speaker 2: that the charges we dropped because the real issue with
Speaker 2: the reflecting pool is the contractors, because overspranging and delamination
Speaker 2: caused the damage. That I live in a world where
Speaker 2: repairing a reflecting pool is a source of political angst,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six is just I mean, that is peak
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six right there. Why would anybody have a
Speaker 2: problem with him fixing and reflectable. It's like being crazy
Speaker 2: about the idea that we're going to add a ballroom
Speaker 2: to the White House. It's fine, It's not the end
Speaker 2: of the world. The ballroom is fine. All of the
Speaker 2: gold all over the oval less, Oh, trust me, when
Speaker 2: I'm president, that's all coming down, all coming down. Keeping
Speaker 2: the Constitution in there or the declaration in there. Fine,
Speaker 2: Absolutely you need a good reminder. Photos of the founding Fathers,
Speaker 2: photos from the revolution, what it took to be here,
Speaker 2: photos of e Regima, a landscape shot of the beaches
Speaker 2: at Normandy, a reminder of where are dead or buried
Speaker 2: and what sacrifice they made for all of us. Oh,
Speaker 2: that's going to be there. The golden doornments are not
Speaker 2: going to be there, humidor you better believe it, and
Speaker 2: they will be filled with dabodof Churchhills. Now I could
Speaker 2: be convinced to go with something else, right, don't worry.
Speaker 2: I will have a box of the American from J. C. Newman.
Speaker 2: I'll have the American cigar there, I'll have the I'll
Speaker 2: have the davidoff Churchills the Late Hours if you never
Speaker 2: had the Late Hour, great cigar, and that'll be that.
Speaker 2: But none of that, none of the adornments. That's that's
Speaker 2: not going to happen. The ballroom. I'm gonna say, hey,
Speaker 2: thanks for the ballroom that it became and still is.
Speaker 2: Too many to some extent of political hot potato is
Speaker 2: a proof of the level of broken. It's a ridiculous
Speaker 2: thing to be angry about. If you hired a contractor
Speaker 2: and the contractor messes up, you go back to the
Speaker 2: contractor and you say, fix us. It's impossible that a
Speaker 2: contractor messed up. I'm gonna say, for the record, no,
Speaker 2: it's not. Now. Two things can be happening at the
Speaker 2: same time. This guy, this Hearn fellow, David Hearn, he
Speaker 2: could have engaged in some vandalism, because Trump's point is,
Speaker 2: we have video, we have photographic evidence. Of course he
Speaker 2: did this. Look at what people did. They tried to
Speaker 2: slice the bottom above their reflecting pool. Two things can
Speaker 2: happen at the same time. But here is Juine Pierro
Speaker 2: saying we don't have a case here. I would argue
Speaker 2: that if she's saying we don't have a case here,
Speaker 2: she doesn't have a case. If she knows that the case,
Speaker 2: the story is a installation issue, she's not supposed to
Speaker 2: say so. Do you think she didn't know that she
Speaker 2: would get a lot of pushback, a lot of anger
Speaker 2: from the President, possibly lose her job by doing this.
Speaker 2: Of course she would. Absolutely, you're doing it anyway. I'm
Speaker 2: not that angry with her. If the reflecting pool was
Speaker 2: done wrong, would everyone just do me a favor? And
Speaker 2: do it right. That's all so we understand each other.
Speaker 2: We announced four million dollars of fraud being found and
Speaker 2: nineteen people arrested in Pennsylvania, and people are more angry
Speaker 2: and upset and worked up over this reflecting pool story.
Speaker 2: We're all nuts. You know. I'm going to I'm going
Speaker 2: to stay focused on what matters here, and what matters
Speaker 2: here is that the reflecting pool being fixed is a
Speaker 2: smart idea. If a guy didn't engage in vandalism, he
Speaker 2: didn't engage in vandalism, that doesn't mean he isn't possibly
Speaker 2: a scumbag who tried to engage in something criminal, but
Speaker 2: maybe what he did wasn't the criminal thing. Fix the
Speaker 2: reflecting pool. Why would an abay be opposed to it?
Speaker 2: Build a ballroom? Why would any baby opposed to it? Oh,
Speaker 2: and the idea of cleaning up the art around d C.
Speaker 2: Good art is supposed to be grander and tell the
Speaker 2: story of who we are, and it's supposed to be inspirational.
Speaker 2: You want it to be broken and dirty and mismanaged.
Speaker 2: Good Lord, sculptures and statues should all be brought back
Speaker 2: to their brilliance and Trump doing this is excellent and
Speaker 2: the artists of America should be cheering him on for
Speaker 2: actually caring about art and not just pretending to be
Speaker 2: about the arts. Excellent work. Is j name Pero going
Speaker 2: to be fired? I don't know. I think if he does.
Speaker 2: If he does fire, I think it's a mistake. But
Speaker 2: she choked, don't I I don't think that that's it.
Speaker 2: I think that is just temporary anger and we're on
Speaker 2: to the next thing. At least that's my hope. Keep
Speaker 2: it here. I'm Tony Katz and this is Tony Kats Today.
Speaker 2: Having grown up in New Jersey, there is not much
Speaker 2: that I miss. I don't actually miss pizza from New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Tony Kats, Tony Kats Today. Good to be with you.
Speaker 2: And I was never a thin crust guy. Never never,
Speaker 2: never give me a what Brooklyn has to offer, give
Speaker 2: me a regular slice. I happen to always like Sicilian
Speaker 2: down Sicilian, different than Chicago style, different than Detroit, which
Speaker 2: is cheese baked into the crust. But I always liked
Speaker 2: the thicker, doughier slices. Always have And I can point
Speaker 2: to places where, like on One Street, I know where
Speaker 2: I'd get the pizza. I know where i'd get the deli.
Speaker 2: I know where i'd get desserts, right, I know exactly
Speaker 2: where i'd go. The thing that I miss more than
Speaker 2: anything is a diner, a true Greek diner. I like
Speaker 2: the idea that I could walk in at eight thirty
Speaker 2: in the morning or eleven thirty in the evening and
Speaker 2: I can still get a Western omelet or a lobster thermidor.
Speaker 2: I love this. There's nothing greater it. I shouldn't say
Speaker 2: it's a great American invention, and I'm pretty sure it's
Speaker 2: a great Greek convention. But it's fantastic New Jersey. Whether
Speaker 2: we're talking about diners or anything else. They are trying
Speaker 2: to make it more and more annoying to partake of
Speaker 2: grabbing food to go, whether it's from a diner, from
Speaker 2: any place else. And they signed a law. The governor,
Speaker 2: then Governor Phil Murphy signed a law which went into
Speaker 2: effect on August first. It's called the skip the Stuff Law.
Speaker 2: What is the skip the stuff law? I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: The skip the stuff law is you get it to
Speaker 2: go item and the restaurant is now not allowed to
Speaker 2: put in their straws, plastic utensils, condom and packets, napkins, no, no,
Speaker 2: none of that. You have to request it. That is
Speaker 2: now a law. I could agree that. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of times that there's stuff put in that I don't need. Right,
Speaker 2: there's stuff thrown in there. I get it. Chinese restaurant,
Speaker 2: that's a lot of soy sauce. No, thank you. No
Speaker 2: one needs that much sodium, no one. I agree that
Speaker 2: I could ask for it, but that would be up
Speaker 2: to the restaurant. That would be up to the owners.
Speaker 2: Why is government deciding the marketing for restaurants. I feel
Speaker 2: the same way about these laws that say no smoking
Speaker 2: in restaurants. Who the hell are you government to get involved? Well,
Speaker 2: we have to protect the health of the people who
Speaker 2: work there. No, you don't. You want to stick your
Speaker 2: nose in and you want to determine how this restaurant
Speaker 2: engages its marketing. No one has to work there. You're wrong,
Speaker 2: You'll always be wrong, and we should fight these things
Speaker 2: because it's nuts. This is the government to the state
Speaker 2: of New Jersey saying we're now your marketing partner, and
Speaker 2: this is how you do your marketing, and you do
Speaker 2: that under threat of losing your license. See what licensing is?
Speaker 2: Licensing is the government being able to take your rights
Speaker 2: away from you. You pay for the rights that you
Speaker 2: already had, and you allow a government entity to take
Speaker 2: those rights away from you if you don't do exactly
Speaker 2: what they say and when they say it. No, ask
Speaker 2: me if I believe in licensing. The answer is I
Speaker 2: totally do. But if you want to do it without
Speaker 2: a license, I say, go ahead. You just gotta let
Speaker 2: everybody know. Oh yeah, oh ah, yeah, you only think
Speaker 2: you know, live and let live people kittingo the skip
Speaker 2: the stuff law. You can't just put things in there.
Speaker 2: They have to be asked for. No one needs this law.
Speaker 2: If that's what restaurants wanted to do, they would do it.
Speaker 2: Why are you getting in their way? You didn't do
Speaker 2: anything good. You didn't help anybody in New Jersey. You
Speaker 2: just made life more litigious and annoying for the rest
Speaker 2: of us. And now I really want a dinery like
Speaker 2: now right now. This is Tony Kats Today.
Speaker 1: Live from vall Hartbiner in the Crossroads of America. It's
Speaker 1: Tony Katz Today. So there's a new trend, I guess.
Speaker 2: And the new trend is that Caitlin Clark is somehow
Speaker 2: a trader, is somehow not backing up Sophie Cunningham because
Speaker 2: she doesn't want to talk about girls sports, or trans
Speaker 2: athletes or anything else. She doesn't want to talk about
Speaker 2: any of it. She wants to talk about basketball. And
Speaker 2: I've seen now conservative commentator Matt Walsh. I've seen a
Speaker 2: conservative commentator when it suits her. Megan Kelly ah Ah
Speaker 2: send your hitmail to kiss off at yahoo dot net
Speaker 2: and I'll be sure to get it. Talking smack about
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark because Caitlyn Clark was asked right, she was
Speaker 2: asked about this stuff. She's there with Kelsey Mitchell and
Speaker 2: coach Stephanie White. She's asked, does she have any response
Speaker 2: to what's happening this controversy around Sophie Cunningham. Now we
Speaker 2: should be clear there is no controversy around Sophie Cunningham.
Speaker 2: Everyone's just a freak. Sophie Cunningham said, the most normal
Speaker 2: thing in the world. And I do agree that normal
Speaker 2: things should be said out loud without any concern. She said,
Speaker 2: and I'm paraphrasing here. Girls sports are for girls. That's normal.
Speaker 2: Girls sports are for girls. Every rational person knows this.
Speaker 2: Not for boys. Women's sports is not for men. Men's
Speaker 2: sports are for men, women's sports are for women. And
Speaker 2: if there is no difference, if there is no concern
Speaker 2: about a man playing in a women's league, then there's
Speaker 2: no need for the women's league. Kiss off title nine.
Speaker 2: There's no need for you. We don't need to have
Speaker 2: a women's sports team. All the colleges. You can just
Speaker 2: get rid of them all. After all, football pace or everything,
Speaker 2: and nobody wants to see girls lacrosse or is it
Speaker 2: field hockey? I can't keep up. I'm gonna get emails again,
Speaker 2: same email address. You're not necessary. We were told it
Speaker 2: was necessary to give women these opportunities because they should
Speaker 2: be able to play in sports just like men. And yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: great argument, whole hardly agree. Now the left is saying
Speaker 2: that the women shouldn't have the right to play just
Speaker 2: against women because it doesn't matter. And then there's the
Speaker 2: ever popular You know, this isn't a big deal, it's
Speaker 2: not really happening. It's just a culture war. Maybe we're
Speaker 2: gonna start there, Maybe we'll start at the idea of
Speaker 2: the culture war. This was James tall Rico, who I
Speaker 2: did not know. They referred to as James Tealafrico. The
Speaker 2: Democrat running for Senate in Texas, and he's talking about
Speaker 2: this as Oh, look at these culture wars that the
Speaker 2: political right are all involved in. This was him just
Speaker 2: yesterday on MS NOW or m snow or whatever it
Speaker 2: is they call that network.
Speaker 11: Listen, and I think people are really tired of these
Speaker 11: cultural war fights.
Speaker 2: That are designed to tear us apart, designed to get
Speaker 2: us hang.
Speaker 11: I mean, are there are difficult issues trying to figure
Speaker 11: out trans athletes in sports? That's an issue where we
Speaker 11: could actually come to a policy solution.
Speaker 2: Nope, well, I guess we could come to a policy solution.
Speaker 2: The policy is men don't play in women's sports. That's
Speaker 2: the policy. Men who claim to be women are not women,
Speaker 2: never have been, never will be. I can't believe we're
Speaker 2: still talking about this. I apologize, but they keep doing it.
Speaker 2: James Tallerico calls it a culture war, and I want
Speaker 2: to say it's the only thing he's gotten. Correct, You
Speaker 2: bet your assets a culture war. We're going to win
Speaker 2: and you're gonna lose. Suck on that. That's it. It's
Speaker 2: a culture war. We believe in a culture us being
Speaker 2: the normal people, that there's a difference between women and
Speaker 2: men and that difference is important and valuable. You live
Speaker 2: in a culture, not you, they them. They live in
Speaker 2: a culture that things that men give be women. If
Speaker 2: they put on a dress, yes, somebody tell Milton Burrell,
Speaker 2: would you please? Oh? And then somebody tell the people
Speaker 2: who ask who in the world is Milton Burrel to
Speaker 2: look up who Milton Burrele is and help them through this.
Speaker 2: Just because you put on a dress doesn't make you
Speaker 2: a woman. Just because you wear a wig doesn't make
Speaker 2: you a woman. It's just not the way it works.
Speaker 2: It's never gonna be the way it works. This is
Speaker 2: a culture war. We win, they lose. That's that not
Speaker 2: everybody has to participate, not to everybody has to be
Speaker 2: screaming and yelling from the chandeliers. We look at pro
Speaker 2: athletes and some people tell pro athletes to shut up
Speaker 2: and dribble. I have never ever ever been that guy.
Speaker 2: You can say anything you want, you have to accept
Speaker 2: the fact that could get blowback. What stuns me is
Speaker 2: these athletes who say things and then there's blowback, like,
Speaker 2: how dare you tell me? Don't you know how important
Speaker 2: I am? Just an athlete, that's all, just an athlete.
Speaker 2: That's it. Well paid for a game. Congratulations doesn't make
Speaker 2: you an expert on anything. Now we're at the stage
Speaker 2: where we're getting upset with people for not saying anything.
Speaker 2: And this brings us to Kaitlyn Clark. Kaitlyn Clark is
Speaker 2: there at the table that's a press conference after a game.
Speaker 2: The Fever had just lost. They had won five in
Speaker 2: a row. They lose, and it goes like this.
Speaker 12: I think for us, like you know, it's not really
Speaker 12: discussion we really have in our locker room. I think
Speaker 12: it's for leagues and the governing bodies to work with
Speaker 12: their athletes to find solutions. But our focus is on
Speaker 12: masketball and that's what we talk about and how we
Speaker 12: can get wins. And so we didn't do that tonight.
Speaker 12: So in to fine an area to improve that way.
Speaker 2: Does do you have any reaction to the answer she
Speaker 2: wants a part of this conversation. She's talking basketball. Yes,
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark could say girls sports are for girls. Absolutely,
Speaker 2: she could say girls sports are for girls. It's an
Speaker 2: easy thing to say, it's a normal thing to say.
Speaker 2: Has this become part of a culture war? Absolutely? Is
Speaker 2: it one that we are going to win and they
Speaker 2: have to lose? Absolutely? Caitlyn Clark doesn't have to go
Speaker 2: out there and every day voice some opinion. It's not necessary.
Speaker 2: Nobody needs that from her. Nobody's asking that from her,
Speaker 2: nobody's asking it from the WNBA. Nobody's asking anybody in
Speaker 2: any league to go out there and be as political
Speaker 2: as humanly possible. We're asking to go out there and
Speaker 2: play to the best of your ability. We're asking to
Speaker 2: put on a show. That is what I am certainly
Speaker 2: asking go put on a show. And my arguments about
Speaker 2: the WNBA have been constantly and consistently, why don't you
Speaker 2: want to put on a show. Why do you hate
Speaker 2: this woman so much? Why do you hate popular players?
Speaker 2: Why do you hate better play for what? What is
Speaker 2: wrong with you? And you learn that the WNBA is
Speaker 2: interested in something that has nothing to do with the
Speaker 2: product on the court. They're interested in something that has
Speaker 2: nothing to do with what they claim to be, which
Speaker 2: is a basketball association. She doesn't have to sit there
Speaker 2: and read off some tone about why she leaves this
Speaker 2: and believes that and stand up for this and stand
Speaker 2: up for that. She's playing the game. But I have
Speaker 2: Matt Walsh calling her a coward. I have Megan Kelly
Speaker 2: calling her a coward? What the hell is this? First?
Speaker 2: Why is she a coward because she didn't give the
Speaker 2: answer you wanted given? It doesn't make somebody a coward
Speaker 2: when they jump into the fray and then aren't willing
Speaker 2: to back up their position. Well, that could be something.
Speaker 2: She's not jumping in the fray. What is so cowardly
Speaker 2: about not wanting to be a part of this? Matt
Speaker 2: Walsh wrote that Caitlin Clark might be the biggest coward
Speaker 2: in the history of sports. She refuses to say anything
Speaker 2: about the anti white racism she has been subject to
Speaker 2: you since coming into the league. She punts on the
Speaker 2: trans question, which is the easy question you could ever
Speaker 2: be asked, No spine, what if, Matt? Because listen, you've
Speaker 2: done some good work, but doesn't make you right on everything.
Speaker 2: And I know that might be a hard one for you,
Speaker 2: because I believe that you believe that you're right on everything.
Speaker 2: I believe that you absolutely believe that that you are
Speaker 2: touched with secret knowledge. I think you believe that. Certainly.
Speaker 2: I would argue it's the way you come across, but
Speaker 2: I don't know you, so I could be wrong. There. See,
Speaker 2: that's how normal people talk, what do you want her
Speaker 2: to say about the bigotry of the WNBA, because we're
Speaker 2: all saying it. What do you want her to do?
Speaker 2: What would satisfy you in this regard? Isn't it better
Speaker 2: that she shows up every day, no matter how much
Speaker 2: he's been beaten up, ready to play at least of
Speaker 2: course when they have an injured or so greatly, that
Speaker 2: she keeps coming back and keeps coming back, and keeps
Speaker 2: coming back and hits the threes and moves the teams
Speaker 2: and invigorates. Isn't that a way to win? It might
Speaker 2: not be your way, Matt, It could be away, She
Speaker 2: punts on the trans question. You mean there's only one.
Speaker 2: It can only be answered once. She's only allowed to
Speaker 2: bring it up once. If she does this at whatever
Speaker 2: months from now, when she feels the timing is better,
Speaker 2: that's going to be wrong. It's not your timeline. It's
Speaker 2: not cowardly. What it is is you saying, Hey, I
Speaker 2: wonder if I write this how many clicks I can get.
Speaker 2: That's what it comes across as, and we shouldn't do that.
Speaker 2: On the political right, we shouldn't be doing that. I
Speaker 2: think if we look at people who put themselves out
Speaker 2: there in the sphere. We can engage those things. But
Speaker 2: isn't the story here not Clark, but rather how the
Speaker 2: coaches responded to Sophie Cunningham. I've got the coach of
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Lynx. I've got the coach of the Golden
Speaker 2: State Valkyries. They are the ones saying that the WNBA
Speaker 2: should not be about the w Well, the WNBA is
Speaker 2: not about the w We already have an NBA. The
Speaker 2: WNBA doesn't need to exist. Get rid of this welfare
Speaker 2: league once and for all, and let's build a new
Speaker 2: league where you can have Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham
Speaker 2: and a bunch of other people, white and black and Asian, Hispanic,
Speaker 2: and they could actually play good ball with none of
Speaker 2: this nonsense that is being thrust on them by the league.
Speaker 2: A league where we would agree, probably Matt that wants
Speaker 2: to be gay and black, gay or black. I know
Speaker 2: maybe for some gay and black, but gay or black,
Speaker 2: because that's clearly what they want. They've made that obvious.
Speaker 2: She's not a coward. Don't pin your hopes and dreams
Speaker 2: on an athlete. What why would you do such a thing.
Speaker 2: She doesn't have to speak out on every issue you
Speaker 2: decide is important. Sophie Cunningham being utilized as this political
Speaker 2: cudgel is nonsense. She didn't say something political, she said
Speaker 2: something normal. There's a difference, and what we're supposed to
Speaker 2: say is that's normal, that's rational. You people are just weird.
Speaker 2: That's the way that's supposed to be handled. And Megan
Speaker 2: Kelly talking about cowardice. Are you no longer riding with Tucker?
Speaker 2: I noticed that he had dinner with Marjorie Taylor Green
Speaker 2: and Joe Kent and Thomas Massey. Were you not invited? Hey, listen,
Speaker 2: sometimes we don't get invited to things. Right, I've been there,
Speaker 2: You've been there. Sometimes I don't get invited. I sometimes
Speaker 2: believe that not being invited makes me better off. I
Speaker 2: have dodged the proverbial bullet in that case because people
Speaker 2: are letting me know. I'm like, great, you know, it's
Speaker 2: like I don't want to belong to a club that
Speaker 2: would have someone like me as a member. I don't
Speaker 2: want to belong to a club that doesn't want to
Speaker 2: have someone like me as a member. Sophy Cunningham is
Speaker 2: not a political cudgel. She made a normal statement and
Speaker 2: that's it. It's such an unremarkable statement that we're still
Speaker 2: remarking on it is stunning. But we're not remarking on her.
Speaker 2: We're remarking on all the people who are desperate for
Speaker 2: these things to be political on the left end, on
Speaker 2: the right. I'm a conservative. I don't pull any punches.
Speaker 2: I say it clearly. I wear it out there for
Speaker 2: the world to see without any fear whatsoever. Matt Walsh,
Speaker 2: Megan Kelly and all these people who want to do
Speaker 2: this pileon are wrong. They're just wrong. They're not wrong
Speaker 2: to want to protect girls. They're not wrong to note
Speaker 2: the bigotry. They're wrong to say it's up to Caitlin
Speaker 2: Clark to write the world of its ills. No, it's not.
Speaker 2: It's up to Caitlin Clark. It's a job of Caitlin
Speaker 2: Clark to win and send the Indiana Fever to a championship.
Speaker 2: And that's her only job. If she wants to speak, great,
Speaker 2: I'll be listening. This is Tony Katz today. Now, a
Speaker 2: comment from an athlete that's making the rounds is Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 2: quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, to Pat McAfee regarding Anthony Fauci,
Speaker 2: Oh Mine, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today. So this is
Speaker 2: a Pat McAfee show and Aaron Rodgers is the guest,
Speaker 2: and he's sitting in a like a swivel barrel chair.
Speaker 2: And what I love is that when you take a
Speaker 2: look at this visual, I don't know McAfee is even
Speaker 2: aware that he's doing it. This is like a tribute
Speaker 2: to Andy Kaufman. It's always been known that talk show
Speaker 2: hosts keep their desk and keep their chair higher than
Speaker 2: the guest. It's always that way. Johnny did it, Conan
Speaker 2: did it. They do it today always. And Andy Kaufman
Speaker 2: did a bit where he played a talk show host
Speaker 2: and he's quite literally fifty feet in the air and
Speaker 2: the guest is all the way down below. It's fantastic.
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you that Pat McAfee is a good
Speaker 2: six to eight inches higher than Aaron Rodgers. But here's
Speaker 2: the question. It's a Fauci hit. It's so good. It
Speaker 2: is so Aaron Rodgers, you've been redeemed myle mind.
Speaker 13: Because you've been very open about coming back for this
Speaker 13: year last rodeo, and you talked about your wife saying,
Speaker 13: hey have another year. Mike McCarthy being here obviously a
Speaker 13: big deal. Can you tell us about the mindset of
Speaker 13: coming into your last season, Like that's a real thing,
Speaker 13: it feels like, because is everything better? Is everything funner?
Speaker 13: Is everything more awesome? Like how do you kind of
Speaker 13: view this year verse? Maybe the years of the best?
Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna plead the fifth okay, okay, like like
Speaker 2: that absolute coward, Tony, absolute? Yeah are you kidding me? Yeah?
Speaker 14: Even you got a pardon and you're fro and you
Speaker 14: pleaded over a hundred times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I want to say. McAfee got to
Speaker 2: write one hundred and eleven times and for the next
Speaker 2: four minutes, the finger on the dumb button, potential ending
Speaker 2: for the next four minutes, This is all he does.
Speaker 2: And that's what are you scared of?
Speaker 14: Tony?
Speaker 2: I thought you were the science. Yeah, yeah, I thought.
Speaker 14: You or I am science And you get up there
Speaker 14: and you can't answer a question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are we doing?
Speaker 14: And how much time did network spend of that? How
Speaker 14: much time did they spend on my responses every week
Speaker 14: on my vaccination statut font Taylor at Travis's wedding?
Speaker 2: Did they do even minutes? Did they do even a
Speaker 2: minute on Tony Fauci. I don't think I've heard it.
Speaker 2: I bet they didn't.
Speaker 14: But on that note, and there was another scandal this
Speaker 14: offseason too, involved in a voter for MVP for Coach
Speaker 14: of the Year. How much time do you did your network?
Speaker 14: SPAN's did your network spind on it network?
Speaker 2: And the minute it goes into a are you talking
Speaker 2: about our network? All of a sudden all the guys
Speaker 2: are with her, like, get back to Fauci, talk about Fauci.
Speaker 2: It's so good. It is terrific, fantastic, love every second
Speaker 2: of it. Everything that diminishes Fauci is the right thing.
Speaker 2: But you will note, because you've seen it with your
Speaker 2: own eyes, the left can't stop. They will still lionize,
Speaker 2: they will still support, they will still throw all the adulation.
Speaker 2: It's they invested all of their capital into him, They
Speaker 2: every single bit of capital, and now they can't give
Speaker 2: it up. They have to still adore him, they have
Speaker 2: to still support him. He is a proven liar, proven
Speaker 2: and I do hope he spends the rest of his
Speaker 2: days in jail. That much, I do. And it's proven guilty.
Speaker 2: But the documents show him as a liar and the
Speaker 2: left still wants to tell us how righteous and decent
Speaker 2: and good you trust the mainstream media at your own peril. Truly,
Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today. We've got
Speaker 2: three more things. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, an absolute
Speaker 2: pleasure to be with you, guys. What are three more things?
Speaker 2: These are our stories that should be front page news,
Speaker 2: but because of all the front page news, they don't
Speaker 2: make the front page. They're still important. I bring them
Speaker 2: to you. You've got Todd Blanche, the acting Attorney General.
Speaker 2: He gets to the Senate Judiciary Committee party line vote. Well,
Speaker 2: no kidding, Sheldon Whitehouse, who never met in an all
Speaker 2: white country club, he didn't love say he said as much.
Speaker 2: We know this is going to pass to the party
Speaker 2: line vote. But let me tell you why I'm still
Speaker 2: so angry and curmudgeonly that I'll get more in to
Speaker 2: that and the nomination of a Blanche. And you know,
Speaker 2: there have been wildfires in Washington State. It really big stuff.
Speaker 2: And it's been seven hundred buildings, sixty five thousand people
Speaker 2: have been evacuated. This is around Spokane, Spokane, Spokane, Spokane.
Speaker 2: And so the governor Jay Insley. He was going down
Speaker 2: the road of well you see climate change, well you
Speaker 2: see climate this and climate that, and then there was
Speaker 2: a conversation about it was some climate activist, but really no, no, no,
Speaker 2: they would never do that. This is all climate change,
Speaker 2: climate change. No, this is a thirty seven year old
Speaker 2: who had killed his father in twenty twelve. This fire
Speaker 2: was set by an arsonist. He has a one million
Speaker 2: dollar bond as he faces a first degree arson charge.
Speaker 2: That's who the suspect is. What it's real devastation. It
Speaker 2: is horrifying what we're seeing here, what we're noticing here.
Speaker 2: What it does show us is that knowing the truth
Speaker 2: is not what those who are ideological or interested in
Speaker 2: engaging the ideology is the only thing they're interested in.
Speaker 2: Just say it, hope you're right, and if you're not,
Speaker 2: act like you never said it. Well, climate change is
Speaker 2: still a problem. Well, climate change had just exacerbated the
Speaker 2: whole thing. That's what happened here. This would have been nothing,
Speaker 2: This would have been a weenie roast if if it
Speaker 2: wasn't for climate change. Really is how they act and operate.
Speaker 2: Why wait for facts? Why know what you're talking about
Speaker 2: when you can just engage in insanity. Then we have,
Speaker 2: of course, the Michigan primary going on. Abdul lsied against
Speaker 2: Haley Stevens. Now Hey, Ellie Stevens is the one who
Speaker 2: continues to bring us a great amount of joy, because
Speaker 2: who else could say this so well?
Speaker 15: A little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy,
Speaker 15: and a little bit of cicket to them.
Speaker 2: It's I cannot wait to see her adult swim cartoon.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be It's gonna be so great.
Speaker 15: A little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy,
Speaker 15: and a little bit of cicket to them.
Speaker 2: Right, that advice could work for the boardroom as well
Speaker 2: as the bedroom.
Speaker 15: A little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy,
Speaker 15: and a little bit of sicket to them.
Speaker 2: There you go, There you go. Uh So you got
Speaker 2: her against Abdul Sayid, who is it claims to be
Speaker 2: a capitalist but wants universal health care opposed to monopoly,
Speaker 2: wants universal healthcare. Sure, sure we we get, we get
Speaker 2: your play. We understand your connections, we understand the Islama's connections,
Speaker 2: we understand the communist connections. You're supported by the squad.
Speaker 2: Enough said everything you're saying about not being a Kami
Speaker 2: or kammye adjacent is a lie. Everything you're saying about
Speaker 2: capitalism is a lie. We get it. You're saying that
Speaker 2: because you're trying to moderate a position to get elected.
Speaker 2: We see you well. In the polling, it shows that
Speaker 2: the former state representative Mike Rodgers, the Republican, would have
Speaker 2: a lead over abdul l said in a general election,
Speaker 2: but he would be losing to Haley Stevens in a
Speaker 2: general election. Thus, Republicans are hoping that al Sayid pulls
Speaker 2: this out. I never am No, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't do that. I don't want this guy close.
Speaker 2: I don't want any of these commies close to any
Speaker 2: position of power. Why would any of us on such
Speaker 2: a thing? What will Michigan do is a great question.
Speaker 2: There's no good answer. The people who are saying that
Speaker 2: they know they're lying through their teeth. I was asked
Speaker 2: this and I'll go over it later. I was asked
Speaker 2: this question on Newsmax earlier today, and the points I
Speaker 2: think stands. You know, the results of this election, it
Speaker 2: does not change at all what the Democratic socialist who
Speaker 2: are communists, what they're going to do. They feel like
Speaker 2: they've got the momentum. They're not going to stop. They're
Speaker 2: going to keep moving forward and keep moving forward, and
Speaker 2: keep moving forward, and keep moving forward. If al said loses,
Speaker 2: they're going to say that's because the establishment is trying
Speaker 2: to keep us from victory. And then Democrats are eaving
Speaker 2: in a harder time with these people, they're not stopping
Speaker 2: like locusts in a wheat field. They're not stopping. They're
Speaker 2: going to keep moving forward. They will not be stopped
Speaker 2: until they're stopped. They believe they've got the momentum. They
Speaker 2: believe that this is their moment and this is their time.
Speaker 2: Think about how patient these commies are. And they don't
Speaker 2: get in this election, they'll get in the next election.
Speaker 2: They're gonna run twenty two people in that election. You
Speaker 2: will see across the country local seats, county seats, repper
Speaker 2: the state house seats where Republicans don't run a candidate,
Speaker 2: and the DSA will run a candidate, and then you'll
Speaker 2: see who's serious. I'm just I'm only trying to put
Speaker 2: forth into our world that if you think for a
Speaker 2: moment losing the primary in Michigan is going to set
Speaker 2: them back, you're out of your head. Win or lose.
Speaker 2: They don't change, it's just when they become all the
Speaker 2: more insufferable. I mean, that's really what it is. Oh,
Speaker 2: speaking of Mission Chigan, remember our conversations about let us
Speaker 2: an explosive diarrhea. How could you forget? In Michigan, two
Speaker 2: people have died of cyclosporiasis. Yeah, we're all paying attention now,
Speaker 2: Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and two people
Speaker 2: with significant underlying health conditions have died after contracting cyclospariasis.
Speaker 2: That is a very interesting way for this to be phrased,
Speaker 2: because that's a quote significant underlying health conditions. This is
Speaker 2: the way of the Michigan Health Department saying, don't concern yourself,
Speaker 2: don't worry yourself too much. This isn't a big deal. Look,
Speaker 2: these people had serious issues anyway, and then they contracted
Speaker 2: cyclosporiasis and the explosive diarrhea and this bug that incubates
Speaker 2: in the body known I know, this parasite, is this virus.
Speaker 2: I should say it's you're okay. Now do that with
Speaker 2: COVID because when we take a look at COVID deaths,
Speaker 2: you look at all the people who had underlying health
Speaker 2: conditions pre existing conditions co morbidities. I've been searching for
Speaker 2: that term for the last three days. I couldn't We
Speaker 2: used it all the time during COVID, I could not
Speaker 2: remember corbidities. They had so many other issues. COVID just
Speaker 2: put them over. You know how many of those cases
Speaker 2: got reported as Hey, don't worry about COVID. These people
Speaker 2: were already super sick, zero, none on gats, nothing, nothing.
Speaker 2: You couldn't even say that people died in a motorcycle
Speaker 2: accident write it down as COVID. Well, the hospital's paying
Speaker 2: if we write it down. And you don't know, maybe
Speaker 2: COVID caused him to call from fault the bicycle and
Speaker 2: crack a skull open. We discussed this and we got
Speaker 2: mocked for it, and now here's Michigan doing it. Listen,
Speaker 2: these people were already dead. Really, they were already dead.
Speaker 2: It was just this put them over. Oh so they
Speaker 2: had something already happening in them, and something just pushed
Speaker 2: them over the top. You mean, like George Floyd, Oh,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Were we not ready for the fight? Guys?
Speaker 2: I do this every day. You would think at some
Speaker 2: moment these people would be ready for the fight, that
Speaker 2: we're delivering. George Floyd didn't die from a knee on
Speaker 2: the neck. George Floyd died from all the drugs in
Speaker 2: his system. That's what happens. That's what happened. That's what
Speaker 2: happened to George Floyd. Was the knee on the neck? Right,
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. And I think Derek Shaubin, for just an
Speaker 2: absolute failure of competency, should be in jail. But did
Speaker 2: Derek Shavin kill him? No, No, that's not what happened.
Speaker 2: You know why you couldn't breathe the drugs in the system.
Speaker 2: That's why the drugs killed him. Next thing, you're gonna
Speaker 2: tell me that hands up, don't shoot was a real thing? No,
Speaker 2: it wasn't, because Mike Brown never had hands up, don't shoot.
Speaker 2: He attacked a cop, broke his orbital socket and then
Speaker 2: ran at the cop and that's when the cop fired.
Speaker 2: And that's according to the Eric Holder Justice Department, facts, logic,
Speaker 2: and reason winning the day people speaking of a lack
Speaker 2: of those things. This is ireland greatest story ever told.
Speaker 2: I'd love to visit Ireland. I think I'd have a
Speaker 2: glorious time. I think i'd enjoy a Guinness. I think
Speaker 2: I'm not really an Irish whiskey guy.
Speaker 8: But I.
Speaker 2: Do. I do want to see the countryside, I really
Speaker 2: and truly do. But there's a lot of bigotry in Ireland,
Speaker 2: a lot of hate in Ireland, and and I think
Speaker 2: a guy like me who has a Hebrew name might
Speaker 2: have some problems in Ireland. And I don't think right
Speaker 2: now if I want to give them my my my dollars.
Speaker 2: So they purchased a jet purchased by Ireland's government to
Speaker 2: move their leadership around. It's a it's a Falcon six X.
Speaker 2: Oh it's a pretty plane. It is a pretty pretty
Speaker 2: pretty plane. I mean, look look at this thing that
Speaker 2: that is a sexy, sexy mother. So they order this, this,
Speaker 2: this plane, and they're like, check out our new plane.
Speaker 2: Is this not fantastic? Well, the new plane was delivered
Speaker 2: without the navigational system. Why the navigational system was made
Speaker 2: by an Israeli company, and because in Ireland there's such
Speaker 2: Jew hating freak show bigots who want to recognize Palestine
Speaker 2: as a country, as if that's even a thing, and
Speaker 2: want to buy into the nonsense of Israel being genocidal,
Speaker 2: which is hilarious, if not ignorant, if not stupid, if
Speaker 2: not pathetic and a lie. They ordered the plane without
Speaker 2: the navigational system and now they have a plane built
Speaker 2: for their leadership that can't land in fog. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's just that's just poetic poetic justice. You want justice,
Speaker 2: get your data protected, get justice against all those scammers
Speaker 2: who are trying to steal your data all the time.
Speaker 2: And they get your file with your name and your
Speaker 2: email and medical conditions. They have your kids' names in
Speaker 2: this file and they utilize it against you. This multi
Speaker 2: billion dollar industry called data brokers where they take your file,
Speaker 2: they collect it, they package it, they sell it. And
Speaker 2: now you've got people using that file against you, utilizing
Speaker 2: your data against you, and you have America losing twenty
Speaker 2: billion dollars plus each and every year to these scammers,
Speaker 2: to these fraudsters. They're not lucky. They're prepared. You need
Speaker 2: to be prepared with a good defense. You need Incognity I,
Speaker 2: ncog n I and Cogniti dot com, slash cats goes
Speaker 2: broker by broker, forces each one to delete your file

Speaker 2: Biters has a story that immediately should send one into it, Tizzy.
Speaker 2: It sent me to reach out to a couple of people,
Speaker 2: to a couple people I know alike and trust who
Speaker 2: could come up with an answer. Tony Kats Tony Katz
Speaker 2: today and the headline over there at Reuters was US
Speaker 2: has used virtually all of its long range precision missiles
Speaker 2: during Iran War. They are reporting that it has used
Speaker 2: up much of the stockpile of long range missiles during
Speaker 2: the five month war with Iran. The missiles are principally
Speaker 2: the Army surface to surface weapons known as attacker's atacms,
Speaker 2: that is, Army tactical missile systems and precision strike missiles.
Speaker 2: The degree to which the military is running out of
Speaker 2: these missiles has not been previously reported. Now you take
Speaker 2: this and you take a look at the conversation about
Speaker 2: a leak and was the wre the war plans leaked?
Speaker 2: Was it leaked to a Ran and therefore I Ran
Speaker 2: said we have to make a deal. I can't answer
Speaker 2: the question. One of the things that Pentagon has been
Speaker 2: good about is misdirection and misinformation. When you're strong, make
Speaker 2: your enemy think you're weak. When you're weak, make your
Speaker 2: enemy think you're strong. That's sunsue. I would have absolutely
Speaker 2: no doubt that that is possible. So I read these
Speaker 2: stories with a massive grain of salt. But the idea
Speaker 2: that we could be out low, what do we spend
Speaker 2: all this money on if not this, what exactly are
Speaker 2: we doing? What have we been doing? And what generals
Speaker 2: will be even in retirement busted down to a corporal
Speaker 2: and their pension taken away. You know the line, somebody's
Speaker 2: got to go to jail. Who goes to jail? How
Speaker 2: come no one goes to jail man? We can apply
Speaker 2: that to a lot of places. I'll keep investigating and
Speaker 2: see what's actual here. Keep it here. This is Tony.
Speaker 1: Lie from Baal Hartland and the Crossroads of America. It's
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today.
Speaker 2: Party line vote.
Speaker 16: We are going to advance out of this Committee, probably
Speaker 16: the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of
Speaker 16: Attorney General of the United States. The reasons to vote
Speaker 16: against him number in the hundreds. But let's just focus
Speaker 16: on a few where my Republican colleagues purport to have
Speaker 16: great concern. Let's start with the Epstein files, where Todd
Speaker 16: Blanche participated in the cover up, continues to participate in
Speaker 16: the cover up, responsible for a massive screw up of
Speaker 16: the release of the documents.
Speaker 2: That's Sheldon Whitehouse, the bigoted senator from Rhode Island who
Speaker 2: joins the all White country clubs, saying there's no way
Speaker 2: Todd Blanch should be confirmed as Attorney General. But he
Speaker 2: just admitted that he will get out of committee and
Speaker 2: he will be confirmed. Tony Katz Tony Katz today, so
Speaker 2: good to be with you. Find everything I do at
Speaker 2: Tony kats dot com. Also the YouTube and the rumble
Speaker 2: Tony Katz. If you subscribe, I'd appreciate that. It's helpful.
Speaker 2: I know, if you're a radio host these days, you
Speaker 2: also have to be doing all the video. It's just
Speaker 2: the way it goes. Everybody's multitasking. You're doing it as
Speaker 2: well as I am. There's no doubt that Epstein was
Speaker 2: going to come up, and this is going to be
Speaker 2: a pretext for Democrats to say absolutely not. They're not
Speaker 2: saying absolutely not to Todd Blanche. They're saying absolutely not
Speaker 2: to Donald Trump. On every level, I argue, if Merrick
Speaker 2: Garland can be confirmed as Attorney General, Todd Blanch could
Speaker 2: be firmed as Attorney general. But we have lost this
Speaker 2: capacity on the role of advising consent to engage anything
Speaker 2: other than what did the politics of the day tell
Speaker 2: us to do. One of the great lines the late
Speaker 2: Senator Lindsay Graham used in the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh
Speaker 2: was when you see Kagan, Soda Mayor, tell him, Lindsay
Speaker 2: says hello, because he voted for them, because he knew
Speaker 2: his role of advisor consent. And I'm not so sure
Speaker 2: I would have confirmed Soda Mayor Kagan a different story,
Speaker 2: especially during the confirmation hearing. I do not know if
Speaker 2: I would have confirmed somebody who relied on the richness
Speaker 2: of her Latina heritage to come up with decisions regarding
Speaker 2: the Constitution, not what my interest is, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: I never looked to Scalia and said, tell me about
Speaker 2: the richness of your Italian heritage, so you can come
Speaker 2: to good conclusions regarding cases brought before you and how
Speaker 2: they work within the constitutional framework that we have number once,
Speaker 2: nemb once. But those days are indeed over that conversation,
Speaker 2: that concept that philosophy is indeed lost. Instead, what we
Speaker 2: have is the radicalness of position that says politics before
Speaker 2: all things. This was center Dick Durbin of Illinois, a
Speaker 2: man most aptly named Thanks.
Speaker 6: Mister chairman, reflect on the fact that as we meet today,
Speaker 6: there are thousands, literally tens of thousands of men and
Speaker 6: women in the United States who got up this morning
Speaker 6: and put on a badge or picked up their briefcase
Speaker 6: and went to work to make sure that we would
Speaker 6: be saved. They are in law enforcement all across the
Speaker 6: United States of America. They count on the system of
Speaker 6: justice as we all do, to give us not only
Speaker 6: safety in our homes, but also fairness when it comes
Speaker 6: to treatment by the government. The man we are discussing
Speaker 6: this morning seeks to be the number one law enforcement
Speaker 6: enforcer of the United States of America, the Attorney General
Speaker 6: of the United States, the highest ranking law enforcement position.
Speaker 6: And what have we learned in the last few weeks
Speaker 6: when it comes to Todd Blanche, we have learned that
Speaker 6: simply his word is not enough for most of us,
Speaker 6: not even for some of my Republican friends. Even his
Speaker 6: word under oath is not credible enough. We have a
Speaker 6: demand by colleagues that I support a demand that mister Blanche,
Speaker 6: when it comes to important promises to American people, put
Speaker 6: it in writing, put it in writing. And in fact
Speaker 6: he did, Mister Chairman. The political escapade of the last
Speaker 6: week has made it clearer than ever that Todd Blanche
Speaker 6: has no business serving as our nation's chief law enforcement officer.
Speaker 2: So what happened in the past week. What happened in
Speaker 2: the past week was this concept of the weaponization Fund,
Speaker 2: which in mid July Blanche said wasn't going to be
Speaker 2: a thing, this one point seven to seven six billion
Speaker 2: dollar fund. And I opposed the fund. You were abused
Speaker 2: by your government, by our government. I think you can sue.
Speaker 2: I think that's fine. If you create a fund, you
Speaker 2: have the opportunity for the fund to be abused. Same reason,
Speaker 2: by the way, same basic philosophy. I'm thrilled with the
Speaker 2: elimination of usaid. Oh, they can complain and moan and
Speaker 2: can catch all they want. Look at all the people
Speaker 2: you killed. No no, no, no, no no. Look at all
Speaker 2: the organizations no longer being funded to do damage to us.
Speaker 2: Look at all the slush fund that is gone going
Speaker 2: to organizations where it never should have gone to begin with.
Speaker 2: And that does not put Americans on the hook for
Speaker 2: lives being lost, madness. It does say that America said
Speaker 2: we are not going to pay for our own destruction,
Speaker 2: and so progressives can have a government funded slush fund.
Speaker 2: Absolutely not good. You know, I'm one of the Maybe
Speaker 2: I'm maybe it's few, Maybe I'm wrong right, Maybe maybe
Speaker 2: there's more of us than I know. I believe that
Speaker 2: Doe should come back, and should come back in a huge,
Speaker 2: massive way. We're nowhere near done cutting, nowhere near done.
Speaker 2: We are nuts for abandoning this. Who cares if the
Speaker 2: left is happy or not? Who cares if they scream
Speaker 2: about and yell about it. There are cuts, there is fraud,
Speaker 2: and it all has to be removed. Unnecessary government removed. Oh,
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of unnecessary governments. You've got a
Speaker 2: bigger listen than to me. I know, I know, but
Speaker 2: there's a lot of fraud. Why aren't we getting rid
Speaker 2: of it all this talk about what happened in Minneapolis.
Speaker 2: Where's the movement? There is some, I will admit that
Speaker 2: there is some. We don't talk about it enough. I
Speaker 2: want more because there's more fraud. That's one state. There
Speaker 2: are forty nine other states, and they've all got an issue.
Speaker 2: Let's go get rid of the fraud. Let's take a
Speaker 2: look at the government organizations that are set up and
Speaker 2: what kind of deals they're getting, and say no, and
Speaker 2: no and no, and let's get get rid of the fraud.
Speaker 2: Let's stop this money train. Let's keep it where it belongs,
Speaker 2: in the pocket to the people. Pay down some debt,
Speaker 2: a million things we can do, but we don't need
Speaker 2: to pay for these people. We don't need their life
Speaker 2: to be EASi or good ah. Hell no, let's end
Speaker 2: this madness. So I'm a believer in more doge, not less.
Speaker 2: But because this weaponization funds conversation, it took Todd Blanche
Speaker 2: to come out again and say that the Weaponization Fund
Speaker 2: is dead. And that's what caused Tom Tillis of North
Speaker 2: Carolina and John Cornyn of Texas, both Republicans, to say, Okay,
Speaker 2: we'll vote on Todd Blanche. Now they wanted this gun.
Speaker 2: So to Dick Durbin's mind, getting what you wanted is
Speaker 2: proof that the guy is unworthy. Todd Blanche is fine.
Speaker 2: Todd Blanche is fine. And if you were to say
Speaker 2: to me, we can't have Todd Blanche, and I gave
Speaker 2: you a hundred other names, the left would say all
Speaker 2: of them are unacceptable. And that's the point. None of
Speaker 2: this charade matters. This is all political nonsense. It's why
Speaker 2: people hate politicians and government, and it's why I'll pay
Speaker 2: no mind whatsoever to Dick Durbin, nor will I pay
Speaker 2: any mind to the absolutely vicious and wholly unacceptable Sheldon Whitehouse.
Speaker 16: Cover up and screw up on the Epstein Files. What
Speaker 16: do I mean by cover up? Well, first, they looked
Speaker 16: at four FBI three oh two's that were the testimony
Speaker 16: of a woman who told the FBI in a formal
Speaker 16: statement that she had been sexually assaulted and physically assaulted
Speaker 16: by Donald Trump around thirteen or fourteen years of age.
Speaker 16: Of those four three o twos, they released one, the
Speaker 16: one that did not mention Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Well, fortunately for.
Speaker 16: Transparency, these documents had been released in other areas and
Speaker 16: bait stamped, so people figured out that some were missing,
Speaker 16: and with that the other three O twos that mentioned
Speaker 16: Donald Trump had to be produced. Only because they got
Speaker 16: caught were those three O twos produced. And right now
Speaker 16: as we sit here, Todd Blanche is still sitting on
Speaker 16: thirty seven pages that are almost certainly the agent's notes
Speaker 16: off of which the three O twos were taken.
Speaker 2: If you don't know what a three poho two is,
Speaker 2: a form FD three oh two, it's an internal document
Speaker 2: that's utilized by the FBI, and it summarizes interviews, witnesses,
Speaker 2: suspects of irrelevant information. It is not a verbatim transcript.
Speaker 2: It's a narrative memorandum. That's the terminology that's used around
Speaker 2: a three oh two. No part of a three oh
Speaker 2: two is testimony. No part of a three oh two
Speaker 2: is under oath. That's not how a three oh two works.
Speaker 2: It is not a sworn statement, not at all. Now
Speaker 2: they're utilized investigations, and you can use that information to say, okay,
Speaker 2: we were going to use this, so okay you said this,
Speaker 2: but then we found out this, and now you said this,
Speaker 2: and that's differently what you said here, And you can
Speaker 2: go after someone's credibility right, And we understand that that's
Speaker 2: how prosecutors work, and that's how FBI agents work, et
Speaker 2: ceter And we can talk about that another time. The
Speaker 2: three O two doesn't prove guilt. Three O two doesn't
Speaker 2: prove anything at all. And we also know that when
Speaker 2: it comes to allegations against President Trump regarding these things
Speaker 2: that witnesses have been shown to be uncredible, that does
Speaker 2: not concern Sheldon Whitehouse. What concerns him is how can
Speaker 2: he attack No part of this about Todd Planche. And
Speaker 2: you're talking about a guy and me who said to
Speaker 2: release everything redacted. Yes, I don't want innocent people to
Speaker 2: be caught up in these things, but release the files.
Speaker 2: And yes, you're talking to the guy me who said
Speaker 2: that President Trump handled this wrong from the beginning. The
Speaker 2: administration screwed this up. They did misread the room, misredware.
Speaker 2: Republicans and conservatives were and gave Democrats the opening and
Speaker 2: they're still taking it. Trump did this. It was a
Speaker 2: miss and a very poor job in recovery. By the way,
Speaker 2: none of this says that Todd Blanch shouldn't be attorney general.
Speaker 2: None of this says that at all, release what you
Speaker 2: can release redact what needs to be redacted. You know,
Speaker 2: let me take that back where that's what needs to
Speaker 2: be redacted. Release it all fine with that. But just
Speaker 2: because someone's got a name in an Epstein file doesn't
Speaker 2: mean that they're guilty. Something we've said on the show
Speaker 2: from the beginning. That's not how Sheldon white House views it.
Speaker 2: Sheldon white House says, everyone I don't like is guilty.
Speaker 2: That's his argument, and it's not one sufficient to say
Speaker 2: Todd Blanch shouldn't be attorney general. But it wouldn't matter
Speaker 2: if it was Todd Blanche or not. If it wasn't
Speaker 2: Todd Blanch would be somebody else, and there would be
Speaker 2: Sheldon white House, the guy who joins all white country
Speaker 2: clubs to disapprove, to say they know. And that's the point.
Speaker 2: It's all political, all the time on something that you know.
Speaker 2: To paraphrase Senator John Cornyn, we want somebody who's leading
Speaker 2: the DJ. We don't want somebody in the interim. And
Speaker 2: leading to a question of where the leadership is. The
Speaker 2: President of the United States gets to appoint the attorney
Speaker 2: general the end, and unless that attorney general has us
Speaker 2: is a sworn communist, what are we doing here. Well,
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what we're doing here. We're playing pure politics.
Speaker 2: Blanche is going to get confirmed. Let's move on to
Speaker 2: the next subject. That's my plan. This is Tony Kats today.
Speaker 2: I didn't hit this in three more things, but it
Speaker 2: still matters quite a bit, this cyber attack, conversation on
Speaker 2: water systems. Like there's a part of me the things
Speaker 2: I shouldn't be talking about it at all, Like I shouldn't.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't bring it up. You know. It's it's like
Speaker 2: History of the World. It's mel Brooks, Get off fat,
Speaker 2: get off fat. Well, that wasn't actually mel Brooks. That
Speaker 2: was the side kid. It doesn't matter, groovus, Tony Kats,
Speaker 2: Tony Kats today, good to be with you. I will
Speaker 2: do all the History of the world part one thing
Speaker 2: for you, gladly. I will act out the whole thing.
Speaker 2: I will do the Ethiopian shimsham, all of it. The
Speaker 2: problem is when you say Ethiopian shimsham, that's also a
Speaker 2: I found this out the hard way. It's a strain
Speaker 2: of marijuana. I go with the mel Brooks version. Please,
Speaker 2: thank you very much. Gregory Hines, Oh so good. So
Speaker 2: that's not the story. Where was I What was I
Speaker 2: talking about? Oh, that's right, the water is being attacked.
Speaker 2: It's a really, really freaky story that seven states have
Speaker 2: reported cyber attacks on their water systems to the FBI.
Speaker 2: The FBI said in a statement they're aware of the attacks. Quote,
Speaker 2: the FBI and are in agency partners are fully engaged
Speaker 2: to protect critical infrastructure, and we remain well equipped to
Speaker 2: protect against cyber threats of all varieties. Now, the FBI
Speaker 2: is not discussing who is behind the attack. Although the
Speaker 2: FBI and the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Agency they've warned that Iranian
Speaker 2: hackers have targeted water systems. Let's keep these two things
Speaker 2: separate for just a moment. First, I don't think there's
Speaker 2: any of us. It was you and me having a
Speaker 2: bourbon on a barstool and someone said you, well, you know,
Speaker 2: the Iranians are trying to hack into our water systems.
Speaker 2: We'd be like, well, yeah, every terrorist entity out there
Speaker 2: today is trying to hack into our water systems and
Speaker 2: our power grids and everything. We would without having had
Speaker 2: any prediscussion about it, not having spent thirty seconds discussing
Speaker 2: it with each other or on our own, we would
Speaker 2: be able to go on a fifteen minute bender conversation
Speaker 2: of all the things the terrorists out there are trying
Speaker 2: to get their hands on and trying to create damage
Speaker 2: for us. With right water systems, power systems, communications systems,
Speaker 2: medical systems. We could go on fifteen minutes, non stop.
Speaker 2: You and I bourbon on a barstool, right, you pick
Speaker 2: your friend, fifteen minutes. Of course we could, because no
Speaker 2: part of that is shocking or surprising. Now, President Trump,
Speaker 2: he came out to say that the issue here is Minnesota. Today.
Speaker 2: He said, I just want to mention that we heard
Speaker 2: of Minnesota. There was a cyber attack, and they blame
Speaker 2: it on Iran. I don't think so. I think I
Speaker 2: blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. There was
Speaker 2: a cyber attack thirty water plants. They like to say,
Speaker 2: Oh it was Iran. Iran should be so lucky. Iran's
Speaker 2: got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota. So this was
Speaker 2: Tim Wall's blaming the Trump administration. Could everyone stop being
Speaker 2: a lunatic? How did I end up in the position?
Speaker 2: How are we here where all we want people to
Speaker 2: do is be normal? It is cyber attacks against critical infrastructure.
Speaker 2: What's our plan? Less spider man finger pointing meme stuff
Speaker 2: and more, what's our plan? If Tim Walls is blaming
Speaker 2: blaming Donald Trump, Tim Walls is a schmuck. I don't
Speaker 2: want the President to play into this. They may be
Speaker 2: incompetent Minnesota, but it doesn't mean that that's the issue here.
Speaker 2: We need to be aggressive. We need to be asking
Speaker 2: ourselves who is bringing this about and how do we
Speaker 2: deal with these things? The threat was identified as programmable
Speaker 2: logic controllers PLCs, it's in the water systems, and urged
Speaker 2: infrastructure owners to remove these publicly exposed PLCs from the internet. Right,
Speaker 2: So that's what the advice that's said, it's being given.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I want that advice given publicly,
Speaker 2: but there it is printed. What am I supposed to do?
Speaker 2: Can't we just focus on the thing in front of us?
Speaker 2: Can't we just note that this is a problem. Can
Speaker 2: we identify who is bringing the threat and how can
Speaker 2: we deal with them? Now? I am a guy with
Speaker 2: a theory. My theory is you have to pick one group,
Speaker 2: one group that is engaged in this activity, and you
Speaker 2: must so harm them that everybody else starts to be concerned.
Speaker 2: I get called all sorts of things. You may get
Speaker 2: called all sorts of things. I don't know. I am
Speaker 2: not a warmonger. I do not seek to start any issue.
Speaker 2: I would rather be left alone. I've often said, the
Speaker 2: only things I want to do in this life eat
Speaker 2: a steak, smoke a cigar, have sex with my wife,
Speaker 2: and sometimes I don't even need steak. These are all
Speaker 2: the things I want to do in this life, and
Speaker 2: these people won't leave me alone. I would rather be
Speaker 2: left alone. Let's find one of these groups where we
Speaker 2: know this activity is coming from, and let us do
Speaker 2: them such harm that the nation that they are located
Speaker 2: in begs us to stop and promises it will never
Speaker 2: happen again. Quite literally sends us a gift to apologize. Maybe, well,
Speaker 2: you won't eliminate the issue. You're not going to eliminate
Speaker 2: the hacker, but maybe god less problems for a decade.
Speaker 2: That is how I believe we should use strength overwhelmingly
Speaker 2: to make the enemy regret bothering us so we can
Speaker 2: be left alone and smoke a cigar and other things.
Speaker 2: This is Tony Kats today. Well, let's start with Michigan.
Speaker 17: It's now a battleground for the soul of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 2: Tony did socialism went out today? Now? The answer to
Speaker 2: that question is a little more involved than what you
Speaker 2: can do on a TV hit. But I was on
Speaker 2: Newsmax earlier today. They pitted me against Dennis Kassinich, who
Speaker 2: I admit to you I didn't know was still alive.
Speaker 2: Tony Katz Tony Katz today, so good to be with you.
Speaker 2: Find everything I do at Tony Katz dot com. You
Speaker 2: remember the name Dennis Kassinich was one time in the
Speaker 2: nineteen seventies, he was the mayor of Cleveland, and then
Speaker 2: he was longtime congressman until he was defeated I think
Speaker 2: in twenty twelve by Marcy Captor, who is still the
Speaker 2: member of Congress. Marcy Captor was the one who, like
Speaker 2: two days ago, was involved in a hit and run.
Speaker 2: All she's a Democrat, represents that area of Ohio. Someone
Speaker 2: who hit her car as she was going to church.
Speaker 2: She had the person driving her hit the car. She
Speaker 2: got really injured and then ran off. Crazy crazy story.
Speaker 2: I'm glad she's okay. I mean, we may disagree politically,
Speaker 2: but tell I don't want her getting her in a
Speaker 2: car accident. Someone reminded me that it was four years
Speaker 2: ago that Congressman Jackie Wilorski was killed in a car accident.
Speaker 2: She was in Indiana. She was lovely. Jackie Wilarsky was lovely, Republican,
Speaker 2: really really nice, very nice to me. But she was
Speaker 2: in the car where somebody else was driving in two
Speaker 2: other staffers, and whether her car, I think it was
Speaker 2: the car she was in went over the lines and
Speaker 2: the other car came head on and everybody was killed. Awful,
Speaker 2: awful story. So it's Dennis Caercenticch. I swear to you
Speaker 2: I didn't know Dennis Cocentach was still alive. Dennis Concinach
Speaker 2: has claim to fame was that Dennis Caercentach was a
Speaker 2: radicalized progressive before it was cool. Dennis Cascinach was doing
Speaker 2: this before Bernie Sanders. Dennis Cascinach has been on this
Speaker 2: for a tick. Oh. He is wrong about everything, but
Speaker 2: he comes from an older school of thought where you
Speaker 2: can actually talk. And I knew this immediate, Like I
Speaker 2: did not know I was on with Dennis until like
Speaker 2: ten minutes before I was on, because I knew that
Speaker 2: the topic, but I didn't know the person I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, the original Kamie og, like, that's who
Speaker 2: he is. But it's a different, different, different mentality. Where
Speaker 2: I'm I'm vehemently opposed to the politics, I don't have
Speaker 2: to be vehemently opposed to the human beings. So it's like, okay,
Speaker 2: this is very, very interesting. So we're talking about the
Speaker 2: Michigan race. Of course we've got that primary Abdul Lsaed
Speaker 2: against Haley Stevens. Haley Stevens is the representative. Abdul l
Speaker 2: Sad is the communist who claims to not believe in
Speaker 2: monopolies but absolutely wants force universal health care right medicare
Speaker 2: for all, but doesn't believe in monopolies, which is so
Speaker 2: so adorable, so adorable. Oh and speaking in mosques where
Speaker 2: people are violent against Jews and call Jews parasites and
Speaker 2: the whole thing. Yeah, not my guy. And I'd asked
Speaker 2: some people I know in the area, you know, Michigan itself,
Speaker 2: where do they think things are going? And if you're
Speaker 2: basing things on your Facebook feed, your Facebook feed isn't
Speaker 2: going to give you a good story. And so I
Speaker 2: was listening, I'm like, Okay, I appreciate that I appreciate that,
Speaker 2: But out of that is going to tell me do
Speaker 2: I think the polling is right? Do I think the
Speaker 2: polling that had been lately trending for lsied is accurate.
Speaker 2: Some of those poles, like five or six of them
Speaker 2: had him up double digits plus thirteen and plus sixteen.
Speaker 2: I don't buy that. Do I believe he could win? Yes,
Speaker 2: I do believe he could win. But I was asked,
Speaker 2: let's start here, So this is from my appearance. It
Speaker 2: was Logan Radick asking the question, what do I think
Speaker 2: is coming right here? Well, even if it's Haley Stevens,
Speaker 2: you can argue that for the Democrats, for where they're going,
Speaker 2: who they're supporting, who their leadership is, who the leadership
Speaker 2: listens to, who their social media influences are, that it
Speaker 2: is winning the day. Whether we talk about on college
Speaker 2: campuses and we talk about anywhere else, they're still going
Speaker 2: to be a force and a problematic one for America's future.
Speaker 2: Even if Haley Stevens pulls this out. We shouldn't think
Speaker 2: that Haley Stevens has anything in her that shows her
Speaker 2: to be a conservative. But the election of Abdul lsayed
Speaker 2: for the political left, for those who support the DSAY
Speaker 2: and their communist desires. This is just more fuel more
Speaker 2: saying look how right we are, look out around the
Speaker 2: right track we are, and more for the Democrats, people
Speaker 2: like Hakeem Jeffries to realize that you have lost all
Speaker 2: control and all ability to have control of your party
Speaker 2: if they should take back the House, which is still
Speaker 2: something in great question, never mind what we might see
Speaker 2: in the Senate as we see the Senate primary today. Now,
Speaker 2: my Hakeem Jeffrey's point is taken. Although I should have
Speaker 2: talked about the Senate first before the House, but I
Speaker 2: want to dig in a little bit because that's correct
Speaker 2: that win or lose, these communes ain't going no place.
Speaker 2: Do we all understand that you could put all eyes
Speaker 2: to the Senate primary, and certainly right now it is
Speaker 2: all eyes on the Senate primary, and they can decide
Speaker 2: that this is a referendum on whether or not the
Speaker 2: communists have taken over the Democratic Party or not. But
Speaker 2: we know better, we do. We're observing to people, we're
Speaker 2: not going to buy into that play into that we
Speaker 2: know better and what we know is that they have
Speaker 2: already done the takeover and the fact that some election
Speaker 2: may not go their way is not going to deter them,
Speaker 2: not in the slightest. They are who they are, and
Speaker 2: they are at where they are at, and the people
Speaker 2: in power have koutout and given in to them. And
Speaker 2: this is it. This is what Representative Alexandria Akassi Cortes
Speaker 2: and Iana Pressley, Rashida Selim and Ilhan Omar and the
Speaker 2: squad and Bernie Sanders and Chris van Holland, this is
Speaker 2: what they have wanted.
Speaker 18: And it is here, and it's not going to go
Speaker 18: away quietly. Why would anybody think that? The question now
Speaker 18: goes to Dennis Cassinich.
Speaker 19: Now, obviously the idea of l say Ed winning is scary,
Speaker 19: but Congressmen couldn't el sayed victory perhaps be good for
Speaker 19: Republicans in Michigan in the way that such an extreme
Speaker 19: candidate would turn voters away from the Democrats and maybe
Speaker 19: towards Republicans Mike Rodgers, for example, or kuld say Ed's
Speaker 19: victory backfire.
Speaker 7: Well, remember you've heard it here.
Speaker 5: First, Elsaid is going to be the next Senator from
Speaker 5: the state of Michigan.
Speaker 7: And I'm going to explain why.
Speaker 5: First of all, he's going to in the primary because
Speaker 5: of the very powerful backlash among Democrats of corporations and
Speaker 5: political action committees like APEC attempting.
Speaker 7: To control the Democratic cross That's number one.
Speaker 5: Secondly, to win in November, because the economy is going
Speaker 5: to be in the shambles because of the unwise decisions
Speaker 5: that the Trump administration has made with respect to foreign
Speaker 5: policy that is increasing inflation, driving up the cost of energy,
Speaker 5: and putting America in a very difficult position worldwide with
Speaker 5: respect to our national security.
Speaker 7: He will be the next senator. Just remember that.
Speaker 5: I said that you can play this back the day
Speaker 5: after the election.
Speaker 2: Now, I was shaking my head. I was shaking my head.
Speaker 2: I wanted to jump in on this hard. I didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't I jump and said, who whoa, whoa,
Speaker 2: whoa whoa. First of all, this APAC talk is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: You sound silly. And then I could have gone to
Speaker 2: a bunch of other things. But I did not jump in.
Speaker 2: The hosts came back in and they were asking their
Speaker 2: questions and the com but I wanted to make sure
Speaker 2: that at least did respond to some of it. I
Speaker 2: didn't respond to the APAX part, but I did respond
Speaker 2: to the economy part. Because if you think the economy
Speaker 2: is in shambles, you're wrong. As we discussed yesterday with
Speaker 2: doctor Matt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis, No no, no, no,
Speaker 2: no no. Even the GDP one point five percent doesn't
Speaker 2: make any sense. It's way better and stronger than that.
Speaker 2: Thus the question gets it comes to me, and I
Speaker 2: gets asked.
Speaker 17: Like this twenty eighteen, where l said was promising driver's
Speaker 17: licenses to illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2: He made the comments while he was.
Speaker 17: Running for governor in that primary against Gretchen Whitmer, arguing
Speaker 17: illegal immigrants are quotes stuck without licenses.
Speaker 2: Here's exactly what he said.
Speaker 20: We've also got to make sure that in this state
Speaker 20: we are not discriminating by documentation status. Right now, if
Speaker 20: you're undocumented, you don't get access to a driver's license,
Speaker 20: so you're stuck. You don't get access to a lot
Speaker 20: of the basic things that state offers everybody else.
Speaker 2: And I think that's ridiculous, and so.
Speaker 20: We've got to stop discrimination discriminating that way.
Speaker 17: Election experts say the proposal would effectively legitimize illegal presence
Speaker 17: in the US, as driver's licenses would serve as national
Speaker 17: ID cards, opening doors to bank accounts, employment eligibility, and
Speaker 17: apartment rentals.
Speaker 2: Tony your thoughts. So two things here. The first, I
Speaker 2: address what Cacinich said earlier. Then I talk about this
Speaker 2: ridiculous concept that the only issue with an illegal immigrant
Speaker 2: is documentation. It's that they don't have papers. Well, a
Speaker 2: couple of things. First of all, the idea congressman that
Speaker 2: the economy is in shambles. I'm not a guy who's
Speaker 2: a fan of arris. I'm a guy who can see
Speaker 2: higher prices at a grocery store. But if you take
Speaker 2: a look at the one point five percent GDP, you
Speaker 2: have to figure in the fact that government is doing
Speaker 2: much less spending. If government spending has figured into growth
Speaker 2: a domestic product, right, and how our country is doing,
Speaker 2: that's a serious issue that Keynesian methodology is totally flawed
Speaker 2: and shouldn't be considered. I don't understand at all why
Speaker 2: anybody would think that documentation is the issue when the
Speaker 2: issue is whether or not you entered the country illegally.
Speaker 2: What else SAYID is saying there is that nobody is illegal.
Speaker 2: All you need is a piece of paper and everything's fine.
Speaker 2: There is no conversation about how you entered in America,
Speaker 2: had this conversation, we put it to the test. We
Speaker 2: went to the ballot box, and we voted for President
Speaker 2: Trump to ensure that people were in the country legally,
Speaker 2: that we were removing the people in the country illegally.
Speaker 2: This is the smart, proper, rational course. And what else
Speaker 2: said is arguing here is that we should have open borders,
Speaker 2: we should have no borders, and that has been roundly
Speaker 2: rejected by Americans, and I hope that continues even in Michigan.
Speaker 2: I don't think I missed something there. I think I
Speaker 2: hit that well. Now, Dennis Kasinich, as I said, was lovely.
Speaker 2: He's wrong, but lovely. And this led into a bit
Speaker 2: of a back and forth as he was asked the
Speaker 2: next question.
Speaker 19: Well, as we know, the battle isn't just over candidates,
Speaker 19: it's also over their leading voices in the media, those
Speaker 19: voices that are actually influencing this new wave of voters.
Speaker 19: One of the most controversial, as we know, Hassan Piker.
Speaker 19: Here's just a little bit of what he's recently said.
Speaker 2: Isn't that how he lost his fuckings? I because you guys,
Speaker 2: fucking I hope America deserved nine to eleven dude, I'm saying.
Speaker 19: I mean, just listening to him talk, it's absolute insanity.
Speaker 19: I'm not sure how he has such powerful influence over people,
Speaker 19: but that says a lot about this new wave of voters.
Speaker 19: James Carville, on that note, has threatened to leave the
Speaker 19: Democratic Party if, in fact, Hassan Piker becomes a force, saying, quote,
Speaker 19: we're not going to be in the same party. One
Speaker 19: of us is going to leave. So Congressman, who's going
Speaker 19: to be the one leaving?
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, there are many different voices of
Speaker 5: people who want to identify with both political parties.
Speaker 7: I don't really know.
Speaker 5: Mister Biker, I've never met him, but I will say
Speaker 5: that I don't agree that America deserves nine to eleven.
Speaker 5: I'm hopeful that we're looking at an election where we
Speaker 5: can actually focus on issues and not the personalities. The
Speaker 5: issues ought to be America getting out of these foreign wars.
Speaker 7: And right now we're.
Speaker 5: Looking at at a military budget of Pentagon budget at
Speaker 5: one point five trillion dollars, like eight percent of domestic
Speaker 5: spending discretion are spending going for that. We can't sustain that.
Speaker 5: America has to start to care of things here at home.
Speaker 5: Instead of running around the world looking for dragons to slay.
Speaker 5: I hope that that's what this election becomes about. Because
Speaker 5: it's about personalities. It just ends up it just ends
Speaker 5: up being a mess.
Speaker 2: Now you saw what he just did there, right. The
Speaker 2: question was about Hassan Piker, who is the Democrat's mouthpiece
Speaker 2: right now, he's the COMMI mouthpiece. And what the congressman,
Speaker 2: the former congressman, did hear is say I'm not going
Speaker 2: to address that now. Were plenty of voices. Here's the
Speaker 2: real issue. I did not let that go by. That's
Speaker 2: a democratic right, now, go ahead, Tona. That's just an
Speaker 2: interesting deflection because the question was about Hassan Piker, who
Speaker 2: Democrats are rallying around, who they are connecting with, who
Speaker 2: they want to be seen with, who they are campaigning with.
Speaker 2: And we can't deflect who We shouldn't be involved in
Speaker 2: a foreign war. Iran, by the way, has been in
Speaker 2: a war with us for forty seven years and they
Speaker 2: must be dealt with one way or another. But we
Speaker 2: can't deflect, and you, sir, cannot deflect from where Democrats
Speaker 2: are they are with this COMMUNI with this is honest
Speaker 2: with a son Piker and a whole bunch of others
Speaker 2: in a lot of these radical ideas, and I can't
Speaker 2: really be denied or deflected away, Tony.
Speaker 7: I'd love to have a longer discussion with you. We lichinally.
Speaker 7: Let me tell you something.
Speaker 5: The Democratic Party isn't full of comedies. They're not full
Speaker 5: of socialists. They're capitalists, except that we've got an inversion
Speaker 5: here where in America we have socialism for the rich
Speaker 5: and capitalism for the poor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not true. Although we can talk about subsidies
Speaker 2: all you want. I really appreciate News Max letting me
Speaker 2: go and engage this way eleven minutes on cable news,
Speaker 2: rare stuff. I'll have it posted on the YouTube channel.
Speaker 2: Check it out for yourself. Just look for Tony Katz
Speaker 2: and at Tony kats dot com. This is Tony Katz today.
Speaker 2: So the Democrats don't want to shut down, that's what
Speaker 2: they're saying. You've got Chuck Schumer agreeing to the language
Speaker 2: in a continuing resolution. I mean, that's that is absolutely unbelievable.
Speaker 2: How is this even possible? And my answer is I
Speaker 2: don't actually know. Tony Katz. Tony Katz Today, an absolute
Speaker 2: pleasure to be with you. Are they admitting that being
Speaker 2: in favor of all these shutdowns never helped. They actually hurt,
Speaker 2: They caused issues, They caused problems. Right. Fox News has
Speaker 2: the headline Democrats blink as Schumer helps Gop clear Key
Speaker 2: shutdown Hurtle. Maybe maybe that's exactly what it is. I
Speaker 2: assume what they said is this isn't going to help
Speaker 2: us in a midterm, so let's not do it. Let's
Speaker 2: not have the issue. Let's not have anybody who could
Speaker 2: potentially be angry with us about not getting a paycheck.
Speaker 2: Let's not have a shutdown because right now the funding
Speaker 2: goes to when September thirtieth. And also, this could all
Speaker 2: just be a ruse. It can all be a play.
Speaker 2: They could change their mind two weeks from now. Who
Speaker 2: knows what they're going to get angry about. Think the
Speaker 2: shutdowns work then, and I think it's correct that they're
Speaker 2: not going to work now. Find everything at Tony kats
Speaker 2: dot com tomorrow. Everyone take care
