1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Live from Vaal Hartliner and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. Let's talk about an ugly exchange and 3 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: this took place in Arizona. Tony Kats, Tony Katz today. 4 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: Good to be here, Good to be with you. We 5 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: will get more into the conversation of terrorism, which is 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: what we saw at Old Dominion University, It's what we 7 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: saw at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan. It's what 8 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: we saw in Austin, Texas. The connectivity of all these 9 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: things are Islamists and to say otherwise is laughable and 10 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: people will be offended, and how dare you? And islamaphobia. 11 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: The facts are the facts, and Islamaphobia isn't real. Can 12 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: I help you, oh am? I going to get emails, 13 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: send your emails, go ahead. These are the facts. These 14 00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: are the connection points between all three things, three of them. 15 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: Whether you're going after people in a crowded bar, whether 16 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: you're going after members of OROTC really trying to attack 17 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: the military, whether you're going after Jews. They have their 18 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: individual stories and then they have a connected story, and 19 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: that connected story is terrorism and the desire to destroy 20 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: Western civilization and we have to ask ourselves whether we're 21 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: going to just sit back and take it or whether 22 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: we're going to fight like mothers. And I think we 23 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: need to fight. I think we need to fight hard. 24 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: And while we are engaged in this conversation the thing 25 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: we should be engaged in. There are still progressives out 26 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: there who think that men can be women. I thought 27 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: we put this to bed. You've got the American Society 28 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: of Plastic Surgeons saying, you know what, we don't really 29 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: recommend gender firming care, which is a mutilation of children. 30 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: By the way, it's just a term they use. It's 31 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: a mutilation of children. Anytime you hear gender affirming care, 32 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: think to yourself, oh, they want to mutilate children. Oh, 33 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: we don't recommend this SINCEI l after age nineteen. And 34 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: then you see another medical organization say, oh, yeah, that's right, 35 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: that's right. Not until the age of nineteen, because they're 36 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: getting sued and they're losing. They're getting sued for the 37 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: abuse of children, because they abuse children. End of list. 38 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: So here in Arizona is this state senator by the 39 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: name of Catherine Miranda. And Catherine Miranda is there on 40 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: a dais and in front of her is an athlete, 41 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: a woman by the name of Kayleie Ray, former NCAA 42 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: volleyball player, and an activist. And this is a conversation 43 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: about protecting women's sports, which means no men in women's sports, 44 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: because women's sports are for women and there's a difference 45 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: between men and women, and no man will ever become 46 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: a woman all the rest. And as we saw in 47 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: front as the conversation went in front of the Supreme Court, 48 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: there's a really interesting conversation to have here regarding Title 49 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: nine because Title nine is all about women's sports and 50 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: dollars women's sports, and engagement of women's sports and creation 51 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: of women's sports. Well, men could be women. There are 52 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: no women's sports, so I don't have to make any 53 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: attention to Title nine at all, scholarship or anything else. 54 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: They did it much better than I just did it. There. 55 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm giving you the thirty thousand foot overview as to 56 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: as to how it got an approach there in front 57 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: of scotis this Democrat Catherine Miranda, State Senator. Her argument is, 58 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: you know what, I was a student athlete and maybe 59 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: you're just not You not have the right mindset, because 60 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: I would have taken on a man. 61 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I have my sports head on now. It's 62 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 2: all about a sports mentality girl up in sports being 63 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: a tomboy. I mean, you look pretty healthy. I've played 64 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: against girls that look like you. You look very much in 65 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: shape and strong. But it's a sports mentality when you're 66 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: growing up and how much competition that you'll take on. 67 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 2: So it's not just a silver bullet for one community 68 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: of sports players. It's the individual person on how competitive 69 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: you want to be. So you grew up one way, 70 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: I grew up a different way. I would have taken 71 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: on a man in a heartbeat. 72 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: I played in. 73 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 2: I was the only girl sometimes in men's sports, but 74 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 2: to have a man on my team, I would have 75 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 2: welcomed it. But this is just my opinion. 76 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: So it just. 77 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 2: Depends on the sports mentality of that individual. And that's 78 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: why this bill is bad because you're just putting a 79 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: whole community of women's sports in one category when women 80 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: like me, we have a different opinion. So how competitive 81 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: do you think you really are? 82 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: Holy cow? The issue is not men in women's sports. 83 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: The issue is not feeding into mental illness, but rather, 84 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: hey lady, why are you so weak? There's a there's 85 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: a real thing to women hating women, isn't there there is? 86 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: There's a real thing to women hating other women. One 87 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: of the great lines that I ever heard was, you know, 88 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: if you see a man and woman going out, let's say, 89 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: to dinner. The woman is dressed to the nines, incredible. 90 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: The guy is wearing the same polo shirt he wears 91 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: all the time in a pair of slax and it's like, 92 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: look at how dressed up and look at how basic. 93 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: And the response is always, women don't get dressed up 94 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: for men. They get dressed up for other women. Now 95 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: I do not know if that is true. My wife 96 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: tends to be a believer in that. I am only 97 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: thankful that my wife is not a player in that. 98 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: My wife is like, give me a little bit of 99 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: rock and roll wherever I am and I'm good, and 100 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, girl, what are we even doing here? 101 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: Let's go home. That is always the conversation. And then 102 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: we go home. I don't mean to brag. I'm just 103 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: that good. But the argument of who they engage, who 104 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: they're trying to impress, always was as a fascinating conversation, 105 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: and usually I get some response that is some version 106 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: of well, yeah, that's pretty true. Now people might argue 107 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: it a little bit. Some people could be, you know, 108 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: think I'm off base on that, or think that the 109 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: concept is off base, and that's fine. But the women 110 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: going after other women thing, you see, your problem is 111 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: you're just not a strong woman. You're weak because you 112 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: won't compete against a man. Why should we listen to you? 113 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: Why can't we compete it against men? Now I can 114 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: answer that question that you're not competing against men, are you. 115 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: You're saying that they're women. That's the problem. If a 116 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: woman and a man compete, a woman and a man compete, 117 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: you're saying men can make a claim. And that's where 118 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: you're all diseased. But check out the response here that 119 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: comes from Kaylee Ray. This is very very well done, 120 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: very well put together, Madame Cheritch senator. 121 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 3: As elite level athletes, I would say, we're very competitive, 122 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: which is why this bill designates three categories male, female, 123 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 3: and co ed. The idea is that everyone can participate 124 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 3: in sport. If you want to compete against your man, absolutely, 125 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 3: it's like, let's do that in the co ed section. 126 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 3: That's the clarity and distinction is really important because when 127 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 3: men are allowed access into women's sports and spaces, it's 128 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,679 Speaker 3: not women's sports and spaces anymore. And as the passage 129 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,679 Speaker 3: of Title nine was so important, there is a need, 130 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: a necessity to protect women's spaces. 131 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: That answer is so good, so complete, so full, I 132 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: will Sarah, you need to grab it and post it. 133 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: It's so so perfect, it is so thought out. You 134 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: ever notice when you're talking to progressives and they are 135 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: talking about their feelings, right, it's always about their feelings. 136 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: But then when their feelings are confronted with facts, logic, reason, 137 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: any level of basic questioning, you see them collapse. The 138 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: problem is when you are engaged with talked from your feelings, 139 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: you never once consider that there is something else. Now, 140 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: the woke crowd, the DEI crowd, the leftist crowd, would 141 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: see this differently. You see, it's about perspective. You don't understand. 142 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: You don't understand the importance of diversity and how these 143 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: things connect. And my argument is correct, you don't understand. 144 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: Oh no, not you them. If we're going to engage 145 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: a conversation about how things are viewed, because you feel 146 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: some way emotionally doesn't make it factual. Women having a 147 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: space for women is exactly the conversation in sports. It's 148 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: for women, that's why we have women's sports. And what 149 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: these progressive women who seem to hate other women are 150 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: saying is how dare you women? Wanting a spot for 151 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: women is bigotry, but not allowing women into the c 152 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: suite is also bigotry. Do the math figure it out. 153 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: Anything they decide is bigotry is bigotry because of their 154 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: emotional state and when confronted with the fact, there's nothing 155 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: more than collapse. 156 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 3: It's not to say that no people are banned from sports. 157 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 3: That's not the situation at all. If that's the level 158 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 3: of competition you on top of yourself, amazing, go try 159 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 3: it in the co ed section. But again, this is 160 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 3: what this is about, protecting the women's category in women's sports. 161 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: Correct, accurate, smart, together, completely understandable. No, it's not understandable. 162 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: Is that after everything we have been through, everything we 163 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: have seen, the left is still trying to make an 164 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: argument that somehow this is okay. And you say to me, Tony, 165 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: we're a nation at war. Why are we talking about this, Because, 166 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: my friend, we're nation at war. We're a nation at 167 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: war with itself. We're a nation at war with logic 168 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: and reason and rationality and normalcy. You bet your ass 169 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: were at war, kitten. That's the problem. And all I'm 170 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: trying to do is give people the armaments of the 171 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: mind to be able to fight it. And the enemy 172 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: doesn't quit. You know. It's the Michael Walsh line, the author, 173 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: the screenwriter, and I always get it wrong, but I'm 174 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: always I'm always in the ballpark. The Democratic Party, which 175 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: he's the first person I ever heard say the Democrats 176 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: are criminal organization masquerading as a political party. It's a 177 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: good line. The political left. They never stopped. They never 178 00:11:54,280 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: rest and never quit never. They are always constantly on 179 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: the move to improve your life, to warp reality, and 180 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: they're always onto some new thing that in lockstep they 181 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: all agree with. They are so in agreement about this insanity. 182 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: And you know it because when someone says, well, well 183 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: we shouldn't be buying into mental illness and feeding into 184 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: mental illness of children, that's madness. Those people are immediately vilified, 185 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: they are immediately pushed aside, they're told that they're hateful, 186 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: and they are attacked until they submit. Didn't they do 187 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: this on Israel? To John Fetterman Center. Fetterman, he won't 188 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: submit though he's gonna be a one term guy. Although 189 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: there really is an interesting conversation, and I would follow 190 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: Selna Zito her lead on this. That Western Pennsylvania they 191 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: have no interest in what those Philadelphia freaks are doing. 192 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: They don't care Central Pennsylvania, Western Pennsylvania. They're not down 193 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: for that. They'll be totally fine with Fetterman, and there is. 194 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: It will be very interesting to see if when the 195 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: time comes, if he can get the reelect. Very interesting, 196 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: but that the progressives are still pushing this man. This 197 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: is the war. We have a war from without and 198 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: we have a war from within, not deniable, and we 199 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: have to be able to fight on both fronts at 200 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: all times. And that's why I brought it up. I'm 201 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz Today. Find everything I 202 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: do over at Tony Katz dot com. So you've got 203 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: blasts that are taking place around Tehran. Protesters were there Friday, 204 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: actually not protesters. State organized rally to support the Palestinians 205 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: and call for Israel's demise. Israel said, hey, we're gonna 206 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: target that area. It's gonna happen. Tony Kats Tony Katz today, 207 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: good to be with you. We are two weeks into 208 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: this war. Let's see what the next two weeks bring. 209 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: I really am, like you, truly disgusted by the weakness 210 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: of the political left and of the woke right, statements 211 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: like this from Senator Chris Murphy. 212 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 4: This is the most incompetent, incoherent war America has fought 213 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 4: in the last one hundred years. And that's saying a lot. 214 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 4: This administration has no idea what they are doing. There's 215 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 4: no viable or plan. They change their holes and their 216 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 4: aims every single day. I have great sympathy for our 217 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 4: soldiers and our military leaders. They are being given directions 218 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 4: by a senile old man. 219 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: Who is losing his mind. How is that on trying 220 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: to undercut the commander in chief and to demoralize the 221 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: American troops. That's a senator, senator beta male cuckboy over 222 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: here that I'm sorry he's allowed to call Trump senile 223 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: and he never said a word about Joe Biden. And 224 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: I have to somehow sit quiet and be prim and proper. 225 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: Not in the mood. Guys. You're trying to demoralize the 226 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: troops while they're engaged in a war action. I'll call 227 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: it a war action. Even if the administration doesn't. This 228 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: is smart. It's disgusting. He's reprehensible, senile. Stop it. It's 229 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: just ridiculous. They don't care what they say, they don't 230 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: care how they lie, and they don't care who they hurt. 231 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: It's gross and it's not just him, Bernie Sanders doing 232 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: the job that maybe Tucker was too tired to do today. 233 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 5: I think so, I speak for myself, not for you. 234 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 5: I've got a lot of US Mid East policy is 235 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 5: dictated by Israel that I think Rubio probably had it 236 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 5: right that it was Israel who decided they wanted to 237 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 5: go to war, and after forty years of wanting to 238 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 5: see this, net Ya who finally got his wish. I mean, 239 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 5: Netah has wanted this for forty years. Netanya is the 240 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 5: guy that told us, urged the United States get involved 241 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 5: in Iraq, that be. 242 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: Green and easy war. What is if that is true? 243 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: What is Israel's goal? 244 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 5: What do they want by not only decimating the leadership 245 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 5: in Iran, not only attacking the. 246 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: United States, it's just dragged into it. Israel dictated, Israel 247 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: control the United States. Bernie Sanders, Tucker Carlson together again 248 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: for the very first time. It's embarrassing. It is so 249 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: unbelievably weak. No, I'm not giving it any credence or 250 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: any credibility. Has Israel recognized the threat of Iran for years? Absolutely? Why? 251 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: Because they were the ones dealing with the threat. But 252 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: the point is we were dealing with the threat. We 253 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: were just not willing to recognize it. I've got my 254 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: list up. Still, here you go. This is October twenty fifteen, 255 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: the drive by shooting in the West Bank Hamas Terras 256 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: killed an American citizen and his wife in a drive 257 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: by shooting. Here is December of twenty nineteen. Rocket attack 258 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: in Iraq fired by Kataib Hesbola, an Iranian back militia, 259 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: killed an American security contractor and wounded several US service members. 260 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: This is that's the hit, by the way, that then 261 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: led to the response that killed Costom Solomony. How dare 262 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: you strike Solomony? Americans should just get killed. It's surreal, 263 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: it's embarrassing. And now we have acts of terrorism in 264 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: the United States. What happened in Austin, Texas. What happened 265 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: at Old Dominion University, What happened at Temple Israel in 266 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: West Bloomfield, Michigan. All acts of terrorism, and yes, I've 267 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: discussed the anti Semitism of the synagogue and what happened 268 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 1: with Old Dominion. All these things have connectivity. It is 269 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: all terrorism, all by people who believe in the death 270 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: to America chant all of them who would look at 271 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders and Tucker Carlson and say, those guys are 272 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: on our side. All of them terrorists that want to 273 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: do away with Western civilization, just like the Iranian regime. 274 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 1: And we have to ask ourselves, how do we want 275 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: to engage this fight, because no part of this can 276 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: be well, We'll try and talk to them. We're past 277 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: the point of niceties, right, Please tell me we're past 278 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: the point of niceties. That dog won't hunt. They are 279 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: killing us, proactively, ramming cars into schools and walking into classrooms. 280 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: I think we have to understand that we're in the 281 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: fight and we have to win it, because if we don't, 282 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: bad things happen. I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Kats Today. 283 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: Find everything at tonykats dot com. Three more things Tony Kats, 284 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: Tony Katz Today. Good to be with you, things that 285 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: should be making the front pages, or at least should 286 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: be you should be made aware of that. I don't 287 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: know if the press is doing a good enough job 288 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,239 Speaker 1: of making you aware of the first one being that 289 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: New York really wants to damage itself. They hate themselves, 290 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: they know they hate themselves. They are desperate to hurt themselves. 291 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: That harm themselves in every single way possible. And this 292 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 1: is the story of New York City. Mom Donnie's New 293 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: York City. Remember, the progressive never ends, right. There's never 294 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: a moment where they say, Okay, we're gonna have to 295 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: do something. It's always about what you have to do. 296 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: It's always about how you have to pay more, you 297 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: have to do with less. They never do, you always 298 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: have to. New York City's thirty dollars minimum wage proposal 299 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: rattle small businesses. Well, no crap, there's a proposal to 300 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: raise the minimum wage in New York City, the thirty 301 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: dollars an hour. And so the people are saying, hooray, 302 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: who the hell's gonna pay this? They don't know that 303 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: the business can't afford to pay thirty dollars an hour. 304 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: They don't know that if it's thirty dollars an hour 305 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: for the employee, and you've got rising food costs and 306 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: rising rents. Eventually you're charging an amount for a burger 307 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: that nobody will pay. A cup of coffee is now 308 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: twelve dollars and eighty two cents. No one's buying. The 309 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: current minimum wage, by the way, hourly is seventeen dollars 310 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: an hour. So if the measure passes, you've got thirty 311 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: dollars by twenty thirty and businesses that employ fewer than 312 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: five hundred people would hit thirty dollars by twenty thirty two. 313 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: You're just timing when all the businesses leave, or the 314 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: vast majority leave because they can't afford it. The food cost, 315 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: the rental cost, the insurance costs. Now this how many 316 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: buyers are there for whatever it is they're selling. And 317 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: what this really comes from is a pure ignorance of 318 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: how the economy works. That the answer is, well, they'll 319 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: pay more of the minimum wage and they'll make a 320 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: little bit less, but that's fine. No business owner works 321 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: like that. If I have to make less, is it 322 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: worth it for me to be in business? Why am 323 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: I here? I think the vast majority of these businesses 324 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: should be poached. I have made the claim I shouldn't 325 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: say the claim. I have made the overture, the gesture 326 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: to my governor that I should be the ambassador to 327 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: New York for business acquisition, and I should go to 328 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: New York and walk into business after business and say, hey, 329 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: how you going. See I speak the language. I can 330 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: talk to these people and say, hey, you should come 331 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: to the Midwest. It's so much better, better quality of life. 332 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: You can afford everything, Okay, Greg Gregrey, yea, yeah, yeah. 333 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: The pizza is not as good, the bagels aren't as good. 334 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: When everybody moves over, it'll be better. But Tony, it's 335 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: the water. Water's the reason you're saying. You sound like 336 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: those schmucks in California were like, I got to stay 337 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: in southern California for the weather. They're taxing to death 338 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: and they're killing you quite literally. You're gonna stick around 339 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: for that. I didn't realize you were stupid. My mistake. 340 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go talk to your competitor and they're gonna 341 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: thrive and survive, and you're gonna be broke living with 342 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: your mother in law. See you, Let's see how many 343 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: people I can bring over Let's see how many people 344 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: I could grab and bring to my beloved Indiana or 345 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: across the Midwest. I should be not just the ambassador 346 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: for the state of Indiana, I should be the Midwest 347 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: ambassador to New York for business acquisition. Oh yeah, New York, Chicago, 348 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,959 Speaker 1: La whoop. I could talk all those languages thirty dollars 349 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: an hour. These people don't understand how economics work. They 350 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: are as as governor, governor, mayor. Goodman of the former 351 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: governor of Las Vegas, used to say, slow learners. They 352 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: are slow learners. They have no clue, and they think 353 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: they're good and decent. But remember how their decency works. 354 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: The progressive, the commune in the case of Mom Donnie, 355 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: they don't pay it. They just dictate that you pay it. 356 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: Their decency comes out of your pocket. If you want 357 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: to know one of the many, many, many, many, many, 358 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: many many reasons I oppose large government and all this 359 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: socialism talk. That's how they think we have to be decent, 360 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: so you business owner have to pay. That's how we 361 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: prove we're decent by utilizing the barrel of a gun, 362 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: which is what government is. Government is force. By definition, 363 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: government is force. We use government force the barrel of 364 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: a gun to force you to pay them, and then 365 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: you know what we get in return their vote, where 366 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: we can then force you to do more things. That 367 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: is the circle of obscenity that I wholly oppose, and 368 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: I think you do too. Oh. I do not care 369 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: if New York ends up like the ending of Atlas Shrugged, 370 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: and the lights go out and no one knows what 371 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: to do. Let them suffer. The question is why does 372 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: anybody still stay? I have asked this question of newsmaxs 373 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: and a Fox. What are you doing? How are you 374 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: still there? You could be anywhere. You could be in Florida, 375 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,239 Speaker 1: you could be right here in the Midwest, where you 376 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: should be. By the way, this idea that you got 377 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: to be in New York or you gotta be in DC. 378 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: You don't have to be. Everybody's connecting via zoom or 379 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: some other streaming. What are you talking about? Go be 380 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: in Miami. I think you'd be better off in Indianapolis. 381 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: Center of the country. Gives you a little more connectivity, 382 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: and of course you don't have to worry about hurricanes 383 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: coming through every now and again, a tornado siren here. 384 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: But in the main you're fine, Oh sure you got winters. 385 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: We got winters anyway, but you can afford the house here. Oh, 386 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: everyone's gonna lead a much better life here. And it's 387 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: a great airport boom right in Now. The people in 388 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: Tulsa are saying, Tony, you come to Tulsa after all, Oklahoma, 389 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: we beat your asses in the NBA finals. I'm not 390 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: over it, so you just shut your filthy mouth. Cals 391 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: Oklahoma a lot of places they can go, don't have 392 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: to be in New York. They're all just kidding themselves. Well, 393 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: we've got the investment here. It cost a lot to move, 394 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: it costs a lot to stay kitting. Not just the dollars, 395 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: how about safety and security. We're a better place to be. 396 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,719 Speaker 1: Let New York fall, and then after it falls, we 397 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: could pick up the pieces, let them suffer, get out 398 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: while the getting's good. Then there's the floor shime story. 399 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: So I had heard this before that Trump has a 400 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: closet full of shoes. I kid you not. Trump is 401 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: very into shoes, and he'll look at people and he'll 402 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: be like, you know what, your shoes stink. I have 403 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: heard this story firsthand. Your shoes, what are you wearing? 404 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: What are you wearing on your feet? What is this? 405 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: What is what? The shoes? What do you got that? 406 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: Come here? Come here? And they'll go into the closet 407 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: and it'll hand people a pair of shoes in their size. 408 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: And the shoes are floor Shine. Now, floor shine is 409 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: old school, it's been around for one hundred and thirty 410 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: four years. Had to look that part up. I have 411 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: floor shim shoes. If you look. If you ever look 412 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: in my studio behind me when I'm doing the video 413 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: parts of it, you look behind me, there are four 414 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: shoes that are on a ledge and I keep them 415 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: there because these shoes have holes in them in the soles. 416 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: These are the shoes that were the dress shoes that 417 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: were Remember I wear a suit everywhere all the time. 418 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: And when I was trying to get this career going, 419 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: and I was trying to get people to notice, and 420 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: I was speaking at events, speaking here, speaking there, doing 421 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: all these doing all these things. These are the shoes 422 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: I wore. But I was broke and I couldn't afford 423 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: new shoes. And I have a pair in black, and 424 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: I have a pair in what some people would call burgundy, 425 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: it's actually called ox blood. And I polished my own 426 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: shoes everything else, but I couldn't fix the soles. I 427 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 1: didn't have the money to fix the soles. So I 428 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: would get these like covers, if you will, the sticky 429 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: things that like if you're trying to get traction, like 430 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: you know on a new pair of dress shoes, you 431 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: go sliding on the carpet, So you can get these 432 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: things that add traction. Or i'd have duct tape and 433 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: you can actually see the marks over the holes. And 434 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: I can remember being in Minnesota and I was doing 435 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: a speaking event with the Lake Great Herban Cane and 436 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: it was snowy and it was slushy and the water 437 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: was seeping through. That's what it took. I have them 438 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: up as a reminder that's what it took to get here. 439 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: That's what it took to build a career. I didn't 440 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: have the lug of well, you just build it on 441 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: social media, and not everybody does. I actually had to 442 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: go out and do the work, and I was broke, broke. 443 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: It was a long climb from there to watch deals 444 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,959 Speaker 1: and Frank Mullers on the wrist. It's been a long 445 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: climb and I'm not done yet. Holy cow, I'm not 446 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: done yet. But I keep them there as a reminder 447 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: that this is what it takes. The work has to 448 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: get done. Nothing comes easy. But they're floor shimes, and 449 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I abused these shoes, but they're still super comfortable, 450 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: and I could probably get the soles fixed and use 451 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: them today, but I have them there. Yeah, they're floor shims. 452 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: And it's a great brand, terrific brand. So Trump sends 453 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: out these shoes. Sometimes he's guessing sizes and the staff 454 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: is placing the orders. He pays for them personally, and 455 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,959 Speaker 1: then I'll call people set him the shoes, like, hey, 456 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: did you get the shoes? So now you've got people 457 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: cabinet members who are all wearing the shoes. They sell 458 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: for about one hundred and forty five dollars, which, for 459 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: the record, everything everything is so ridiculous. I try to 460 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: find things on sale. Nordsham Rack is usually where I go. 461 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: That's that's the uh it's is it the discount store 462 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: for nort Shum That's where I go. I try and 463 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: find shoes there. But still one hundred bucks. Still, it's 464 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: crazy crazy. I think the story is hilarious that he's, uh, 465 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: he's sending out these shoes and do people feel like 466 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: they have to wear them. And the CEO of of 467 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: what's called the Wayco Group, Thomas FLOORSHAWT Junior, It's like 468 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: I had no idea. I had no idea the president 469 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: was doing this the official shoe of Donald Trump. I'm sorry, 470 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: that's awesome. Not awesome is item number three, but not surprising. 471 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: The total disaster that is electric vehicles, the absolute unmitigated disaster. 472 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: It's Honda that has just taken a massive, massive rite 473 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: down on electric vehicles to the tune of a four 474 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: point three billion dollar loss. I think it's their first loss. 475 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: I think, I do. I think it's their first loss 476 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: since they began disclosing results in nineteen seventy seven. And 477 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: they predict a profit, but because they had a write 478 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: down of fifteen point seven billion in charges because the 479 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: EV market completely collapsed, they took a loss. And the 480 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: chief executive, Toshahiro Mibe saying, quote, the situation changed far 481 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: more rapidly than we expected. The suspension of EV subsidies 482 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: in North America undercut growth and competition, and Chinaman we 483 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: couldn't provide attractive models or maintain our competitive edge. Now 484 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: we cannot allow Chinese made evs to be sold in 485 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: the United States or even operated in the United States. 486 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: They can't be allowed. And I know Canada is going 487 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: to be all in on this. We cannot allow them 488 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: over the border. There is no question. We can't allow this, 489 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: and if we do, we're insane. Who cares what the 490 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: Canadians wants. This is an area where it's worth a 491 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: real fight. But you take Honda and then you add 492 00:32:55,320 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: to it Stalantis twenty five billion in charges Ford nineteen 493 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: point five, and they make the lightning. And I've driven 494 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: the lightning for a long time. It was given to 495 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: me to use by a local dealership that I was 496 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: working with. It's spectacular, spectacular, nineteen point five billion dollar hit. 497 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: You cannot force the market to do what you want. 498 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: All of the pressure, all of the of the narrative, 499 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: all of it all focused on electric is the future, 500 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: and America and the world said nope. Now these companies 501 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: are taking these massive right downs. And you think the 502 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: left is gonna learn from this. Absolutely not. They're gonna 503 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: keep trying to raise the minimum wage. They're gonna push 504 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: this again. They're gonna push windmills. You shouldn't be able 505 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: to have a gas powered stove. They're gonna try it 506 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: all again. They never stop, they never rest, they never quit, 507 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: So we have to never stop rest nor quit in 508 00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: keeping them out of office. These people are freaking deranged. 509 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: Reality punches them in the face over and over and 510 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: over and over again, and they go, hey, you know what, 511 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: we should try the same exact thing. They never learned. 512 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: They don't want to learn. They just want to see 513 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,959 Speaker 1: when they could try it next, because this time they'll 514 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: do it right, no matter how much it hurts you, 515 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: And they don't care if they hurt you. Somewhere, I 516 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: think they're happier when they hurt you, because that way 517 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: you'll really know how important it is. Don't know, it 518 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 1: won't hurt them. No, they'll put themselves in that special position, 519 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: but you could take the hurting. After all, You're not 520 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: more special than anybody else, are you? Is that or 521 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,280 Speaker 1: is that not exactly how they act? I'm Tony Katz. 522 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: This is Tony Katz. Today. Oil prices up and then 523 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: they were down a little bit up. No one knows 524 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: where it's going to end. What I do know is 525 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: that if the market has set themselves on believing that 526 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: everything in the strait of Hormuz will determine and the 527 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: future of oil anything, well, then the Strait of hor 528 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: moves matters. It matters greatly. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, 529 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: good to be with you. I don't appreciate the Secutary 530 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: of War Sexuary of Defense Pete Hegseth in his press 531 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,879 Speaker 1: are today saying that doesn't matter. It absolutely does matter. 532 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: Now he said, a lot of good stuff. I'm gonna 533 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: share that with you coming up in a little bit, 534 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: he said, a lot of good stuff. And I appreciate 535 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,839 Speaker 1: that we're getting a little more focused on how these 536 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: press conferences should go. Maybe I'm buying better attention to them. 537 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,760 Speaker 1: But when you say, you know, the Strait of hor moves, 538 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: don't worry about it. We got it covered. You only 539 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: have it covered if the oil is flowing, and if 540 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: the tankers feel free to move. As long as they're 541 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,439 Speaker 1: afraid to move, you don't have it covered. And now 542 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,760 Speaker 1: you've got Brent crude over one hundred dollars a barrel, 543 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: and then it's not over one hundred dollars. People need 544 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: stability that only happens the United States provides it. I've 545 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 1: got more on this, keep it here. This to Tony 546 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: Kats Today
