Speaker 1 (00:03):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC. Good morning. President Trump is
in Jerusalem, sitting in front of the kanessset as the
crowd is being introduced. You have all twenty hostages held
by Hamas in captivity for seven hundred and thirty seven
(00:24):
days since October seventh, twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
They have been released.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
That release started earlier today, approximately one am Eastern time,
with the release of seven hostages. They then came in
two other tranches we will call them, until all twenty
living hostages were released. We have twenty eight hostages that
they know of the remains of who have died in
(00:54):
the captivity of the Hamas barbarians. There is a conversation
about when those remained will be returned. President Trump arrived
in Israel just shortly after nine thirty am. That would
be Tel Aviv time, so two thirty am here, we're
seven hours behind here in Indiana, and has made his
(01:18):
way to the Kanesse, where he spoke with hostage families
for I think far longer than anybody anticipated. This speech
was supposed to have already happened. It was supposed to
have already happened two hours ago.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I was awake for it. I was covering it, waiting
for it to happen. It did not.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
So right now, you have, I believe the speaker the
Kannesset is who has been speaking. You have the President
of Israel, Isaac Hertzog is a more ceremonial figurehead there
on the dais with President Trump, who is now receiving
a thunderous bit of applause which.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
You can't hear from the microphones. Trust me about the room.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
And you have, of course the Prime Minister who is
there seated along.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
With Secretary of State Mark or Rubio, the Secretary.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Of War, and they did refer to him as the
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, along with the Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs Dan raising Cain as they call him.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Mister President, I would like to thank you that you
granted the Knesset the honor that it is the first
parliament that you are visiting in your present term. In
the Jewish tradition, we are used to bless the one
(02:49):
who gives us the honor. Thank you very much, mister President,
President Trump, honorary President. Two thousand years ago we were
exiled from our homeland, but in all the diaspora that
we leave, we never forgot.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So the female voice you're hearing is the translation. The
male voice you're hearing is the speaker in the Hebrew.
I'm a way for President Trump uh to speak right there.
My desire is to bring you as much of this
uninterrupted as possible. This is my plan to do this.
I'm going to throw off a fair amount of things
(03:37):
for the station.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
They can yell at me later. So here's what we're
going to do, Producer Kylon Uh. We are going to
engage our break right now. Wait, hold on, stop. We
might not if he's going to start speaking, because I
thought it was going to be a couple of minutes
before he spoke, and we can get it in. I
(04:00):
want to bring to you as much of it as
humanly possible. Some excerpts have been released talking about not
only that Israel will remain, but that we will. They're
the people who have been pushing hatred, the people been
pushing anti Semitism.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You lose, you always lose, You will always lose.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
This has been part This is part of the speech
that was released to the press that flew with him
on Air Force one to Tel Aviv and then the
road on Route one, if you will, up to Jerusalem.
So we're waiting on this speech to begin. Do me
a favor of producer Kylon. Let's take care of some
(04:41):
of our great sponsors. Then I'm gonna bring this back
to you guys. It's breaking. We're following it every bit
of the way. Tony Katz, you good, Kylon, you good,
tell me you're good. Ninety three WIBC, Good morning. You're
listening to continuing live covering to breaking news from the
ninety three WYB Mobile News Center. Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC,
(05:05):
good morning. Good to be with you President Trump right
now in Tel Aviv, I'm sorry, in Jerusalem at the Kanesset.
He will be speaking to the Israeli Parliament and the
people assembled. All twenty hostages have now been released. They
are in Israeli custody for lack of a better word.
(05:27):
Some been reunited with families, some have connected via telephone
or via video.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
These more and more are going to come out. Right now.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You have the President of Israel, Isaac Hertzog there on
the dais with I believe that is the speaker there
for the Kannessean and President Trump and the accolades pouring in.
Secretary Rubio is their secretary, Hegseth. The Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs, Dan Caine, is there along with the Israeli ambassador,
(05:58):
US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I'm going to bring you President Trump's speech.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
In full as much as I can, but first let's
check traffic right now. So as they are speaking, we
have learned some things. We certainly have learned that luckily,
fortunately the twenty remaining hostages that were thought to be
alive were indeed alive. I have not yet seen any
(06:27):
reporting that shows that any of them had to be
immediately airlifted to other hospitals.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
There was the plan was there were.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Three hospitals where they would be taken to be immediately checked. Certainly,
one would not trust Tomas on any level, and should
not trust Maas on any level. If there were people
who had serious issues, felt to be immediate issues, they
would be airlifted to other hospitals.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
That does not seem to have taken place, which I
am very happy to hear about.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Meanwhile, you have Hamas threatening Gosin's release. Absolutely no information,
no photo, no video, no statement, no anything about the
hostage transfer because we don't want Israelis, we don't want
the Americans, we don't want the world to know how
we were able to keep these people in tunnels so hidden.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
For over two years.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Meanwhile, Hamas is having its issues with other factions.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
That is taking place.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
One of these factions, you may have heard some of these,
some of these stories where there was a fight that
took the lives of fifty four of what's known as
this Dogmush clan dog Mush clan or is it pronounced
(07:56):
Dumash dermish Dumash dumish I belie, leave this the proper pronunciation.
These are all these are Islamis against Islamists, and these
Islamists killed a so called journalist by the name of
Salah Jaffa Rawi.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Again, my pronunciations not perfect. There. This is a guy who.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Was anti Israel, anti Zionist, engaged in the misinformation UH.
He was known in circles online as mister f a
f O.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
He was killed in this fighting.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
In with these two clans, Hamas is trying very very
very hard in.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Order to have a level of power and consistency in
the area.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
They are working over time to increase their levels of control.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
What I'm watching for is what Hamas is doing on
the ground right now inside Gaza.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
It is consolidating control.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Reports on the ground say it's rounding people up, killing
other Palestinians that might present a threat. There have been
some Palestinian tribal families that have worked with the Israelis,
worked with the American backed aid agency that has tried
to get aids to Gazan's and anything that represents a
(09:41):
challenge to Hamasa's power seems to make it a target
right now, That's going to be a real challenge for
whatever security force they decide on in Egypt. The leaders
can say, hey, we're going to send various different peacekeeping
forces in, but those peacekeeping verses may have to fight
(10:02):
to get territory back from Mamas. That could create violence
that gives Israel a chance to restart the war again.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Now I think it's an ugly statement from CNN there
talking about Israel restarting a war.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Israel never started.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
The war, which is of course the entirety of the conversation.
Israel never started the war. Hamas started the war. Every
rational person knows this. But when you take a look
at your social media feed, which of course could drive
you to drink. You will see that they cannot accept
(10:42):
that Hamas started this war. They cannot accept that Hamas
lied about everything. Let me give you one of many examples.
This is the story about how Hamas said that there
were four hundred thousand missing Powerstinians because of the Israeli response.
(11:04):
Now we're hearing they report ninety five hundred missing under
the rubble, from four one hundred thousand to ninety five hundred.
It's like how the Gaza Health Ministry reports on the
injured or killed, the Gaza Health Ministry of Hamas.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Who would believe these liars, these frauds, these terrorists, these monsters,
well the American left would believe them. I mean, they
obviously have the Gaza Health Ministry.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Hamas never distinguished between civilians and militants.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You can't have a number.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That way, It's impossible, it cannot be done, So you
don't have it. And there are people out there right
here in Indianapolis and across the state and across the country.
You would quote these numbers as if somehow they meant anything,
when of course they were all a lie every step
(12:05):
of the way. What else did we learn? And the
reporting from the New York Times every now and again
like the indie star.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
They hit it.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
In August of twenty twenty two, as reported Yaya Sinhwar,
who was the leader of Hamas who was killed. They
had the drone strike and you could actually see him.
Sinhwar authored in twenty twenty two a document envisioning quote
brutal attacks of aggression against Israeli civilians and soldiers. Civilians.
(12:42):
The plan was always to go after civilians. And the
lie that the left tells here in the United States
and around the globe is no one every went after civilians.
These are all soldiers. What are you talking about? They're
not all soldiers. Of the twenty alive returned, I believe
only two were active duty. Everybody else was enjoying a concert.
(13:07):
Sinoar called, as the reporting goes, for militants to destroy
civilian neighborhoods by dousing them with gasoline before setting them
on fire, as well as to broadcast the violent acts
so as to evoke fear in Israelis and to stabilize
the country. Wanted to burn down the villages, wanted to
burn down the cities, wanted to burn down.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
The people wanted to.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Take video of it all, document it all, share it
with the world to instill fear. They worked aggressively, not
to hide what they were doing, but to show it off.
And yet I've got Jesse Brown, the City County councilor
from Indianapolis, wearing a cafea somehow he's in solidarity. I've
(13:54):
got these fools Jewish Voice for Peace.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
They're not Jews. Stop it. It's like chickens for KFC.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Is Benjamin not now who said pushing this idea of
oh look what Israel's doing.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Hamas did this.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Every single thing we knew about their intentions, about their desires, factual,
every single thing. I am going to get to President
Trump's speech. Still, you have the speaker of the Kanesset speaking,
and I think now he might be turning it over
(14:35):
to President Trump. Now it's weird. Is he's not standing
as he speaks. They stand to do rounds of applause.
He's sitting while he gives that speech, which is very very.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Interesting in its presentational style.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
No, no, no, he's he's still he's still going. One
of the other stories that we are following, because we
are following some other stories is how the markets went
a little silly when Trump said, you know what, if
you're gonna do this on rare earth minerals and create
such a choke hold on rare earth minerals, you know what.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I uh, I got no interest in meeting with you.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I'm good, thanks, We're fine, to which China said, Hey,
that's not the way to the friends act and.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Share with each other. Oh, we're just protecting our own.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Don't be mad at us, to which Trump then put
one hundred percent tariff on, to which China said, what
are you doing, to which Trump.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Said, Hey, guys in the markets, don't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
President g just made a little booboo, made a little error.
We'll be back to fine, We'll be back to square.
Benjamin Ett and Yahoo is now speaking. Let's check traffic
quickly with Matt Bhaer.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
And then we will get to the Prime Minister.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
If you're listening to continuing live covery to breaking news.
Forty eight degrees in the American standard cooling weather center.
It is six twenty six the President of the United
States in Jerusalem in front of Knesset, right of the Knesset,
the Israeli parliament.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Right now Benjamin and Yaho.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Speaking, we remember our we know in the Hebrew with
the translation your.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Important part, and it determines the return of the rule
in this day when we were today an hour ago,
all our lives.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Returned back to us.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
What excitement.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I will let Benjamin Att and Yahoo continue his conversation
there in front of the canessset.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
We'll take the short break.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
When President Trump begins speaking, we will bring it right back.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Tony Katz ninety three w ib C. Good morning.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
All twenty living hostages have been returned. This start at
one am our time, right here in Indiana.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
This was eight am Tel Aviv time.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Hostage is starting to be released, first seven, then in
two other tranches, twenty living hostages, all of them returned
to Israel. Now a question of whether or not we
will be able to or the Israel will be able
to get back all of the remains, whether or not
that will be seen by the world. President Trump then
(17:27):
headed to the Kannesset, where he met with hostage families,
and right now, more than two hours late, is gearing
up to speak in front of the canessset. He is
the fourth American president to do so, the fourth American
president to speak in front of the canessset. It was
Jimmy Carter in nineteen seventy nine, Bill Clinton in nineteen
(17:50):
ninety four, and George W. Bush in two thousand and eight,
Donald Trump being the fourth. Right now, it is Benjaminette
who the Prime Minister, who has switched from the Hebrew
to the English. Remember he was educated in the United States,
speaking about his thanks to President Trump, the greatest friend
(18:11):
Israel has ever had in the White House, all the
things that he has done. At many minute, now I'm
making a list of things Trump has done for Israel
and speaking now.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
Why did God save me? Mister President, my friend Donald.
I've seen some very tough things in my life, but
I couldn't bring myself to watch those boys suffering again.
So I didn't see this film except once. It's Sabin.
(18:49):
Their mother has had the strength and fortitude to show
this film across the world and my wife Sarah, and
I asked her, Sabina, how do you do it? Why
do you do it? And she answered, I do it
(19:11):
to show the entire world the monsters Israel is fighting
and the justice of our cause. This is what she's
doing once again in Los Angeles, Sabin, you can hear
me now, So I want to tell you on behalf
of all of us. You embody the spirit of our
biblical heroines Deborah, Ruth and Esther. You too are the
(19:34):
spirit of Israel, and we all salute you.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Mister President.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
You asked me on our many conversations during the twelve
Day War with Iran, you ask me, how are the
p people holding up? And I said to you, our
people are strong. Israeli is our nation of alliance with
unlimited resolve to defend our country and secure our future.
(20:14):
The people, the people give strength to our soldiers, and
the people give strength to me and to my colleagues.
The Jewish people have risen from the ashes time and again.
But when we formed the State of Israel and the
Army of Israel, we pledged never again, never again, would
(20:35):
be defenseless against our enemies. And that that resolute strength
not only assures our survival, it assures our future, it
assures peace.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
So the Prime Minister will keep speaking and then turn
it over to the President. There speaking at the Kanna,
said I'm going to bring it to you.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Keep it here.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
We will break in the minute verry second, the President
starts speaking. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning, get
back to it.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
We've been covering the President Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
He is an Israel right now as the Prime Minister
of Israel Benjamin at Yahoo speaks.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
And President Trump's unmatched global leadership. I have to tell you,
I've seen a lot of American presidents, seen them all
in the time that I've been here, and I've been
here quite a lot of time.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I've never seen anyone move the.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
World so quickly, so decisively, so resolutely as our friend,
President Donald J.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Trump.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
All twenty hostages have now been returned. Those who are alive.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
All twenty hostages are now in Israel, being looked at
at hospital, is being reunited with family.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
And the word on.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
The street is that Donald is about to become the
biggest name in all of Israel. In ten years, every
single kid is going to be named Donald, including the girls.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's just going to be the name.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
So the heaping of the praise is happening, and certainly
a reminder that there are still threats out there.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
The President from here heads to Egypt.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
He'll be heading to Charmel Sheek, where there is going
to be a security conference that takes place This was
supposed to be small, and this has grown. I believe
there are now twenty countries that are involved. It was
that Benjamin Ettia, who was going to attend, is now
not going to attend. According to two sources, he won't
be there a George Holiday that takes place starting this evening.
(22:52):
That's what he is citing as his reason not for
being there. Now, while this is going on, we should
be clear we're gonna bring you whatever it is. President
Trump has to say, I'm gonna try and bring it
to you in full, in every single way. There are
some other news stories that are taking a place. The
(23:14):
shutdown is still going on. I know, shocking but true.
And from what we're hearing, we're now hearing about those
federal workers.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Being fired.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
The White House Budget off is saying that mass firings
of federal workers have started.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Some argue this is the attempt to get the Democrats
to come to the table maybe, or this is smart
policy one on the ear.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You can take your pick.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
You can take your pick on whether you think this
is about pressure or just good policy.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Do we need these people? The Budget Office.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Saying in a court filing that well over four thousand
employees would be fired. But the situation is fluid and
rapidly evolving, meaning the funding situation, Treasury would lose fourteen hundred,
Health and Human Services lose eleven hundred, Education and Housing
would each lose over four hundred staffers. Then you have Commerce, Energy,
(24:21):
Homeland Security, and need a EPA. They were all going
to fire hundreds if they aren't necessary.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Let them go. Not angry with them, not upset with them.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
But I do not need to pay anybody who is
not essential for my safety or survival. And with that,
you can just stop paying everybody in the Department of Education.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
We don't need that anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
It doesn't work, it doesn't provide any value. We don't
have to kid ourselves, we don't have to lie to ourselves.
The Department of Education does not to bring us ungats.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
So let's not act like it does. Let's not act.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Like our kids are better off, that the education is
that much better. It's not, and we know it's not.
I favor this move.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Let me give you another move that I favor.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I favor redistricting, ladies and gentlemen, we ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Percent should be doing so. Jade Vance was in town
last week.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
And then you hear Republicans are saying, well, we should
be taking a look at this, and the head of
the Republican Party is saying, well, we should be really
focused on this. I have heard every argument, and I
must tell you I find the arguments lacking. They're focused
on this and not property taxes. Take ten thousand people,
(25:50):
ten thousand hoosiers, walk them to the capitol and demand
a special session on property taxes. Don't leave until they
do it. Take over every office peacefully, of course, don't
(26:12):
leave until they do it.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
They ain't holding a special session because they ain't afraid
of you.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Now you tell me, Tony what that's not toning down
the rhetoric. Okay, First, I don't believe in toning down
the rhetoric. I want to be perfectly clear about that,
and I will explain why. I will get to that
in full on Tony Kats today at noon. This toning
down the rhetoric nonsense for our entire history. If you
(26:45):
want to get the attention of your lawmaker, you gotta
make sure you get their attention.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Does that mean be physical? Gosh no, does that mean pressure?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Absolutely, that's ratcheting up the red rhetoric. Get bent. I
would tell anybody in the Republican Party. Of course, it's
about pressure. It's about the difference between the thermostat and the thermometer.
The politician is the thermometer. They measure the temperature. The
people are the thermostat. They raise and lower the temperature.
I've been saying this for years. Not about to apologize it,
(27:18):
not about to stop. Go get it done.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Stop telling me about it, and anything happened to do.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
With property taxes, which, by the way, I wholeheartedly agree
are criminally insane.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
They're nuts. And if anybody thinks.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
That we did a good job this year, you're out
of your heads.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
You screwed the pooch and you know it. And for
the cities to.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Say we're losing money here, we're losing money there, we
hear you, we're paying more. We feel like we're getting less.
Could you stop being adversarial with Hoosiers for just five minutes,
that would be great. We have a special session on
property taxes and a special session on redistricting, because redistricting
(28:05):
is the conversation about what kind of future do we
want as a nation and what it is we have
allowed to happen regarding our representation and how our representation works.
Of course we should be redistricting. Well, it's unpopular and
it's going to rally the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Well are the Democrats to what? I'll get into that.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
But right now President Trump is about to take the lectern.
Let's do a quick check on traffic. Matt Bear what
he got for us? So President Trump taking to the well,
I thought he was going to take to the lectern,
but no, we've got somebody else taken to the lectern
(28:51):
right now. The President will speak soon, he is there
at the Kanesset. Of course, the Israeli hostages have been
freed all twenty now in his back home in Israel.
So we will get to that. We will take as
much of the break as we can right now. When
the President starts speaking, we will jump back in. Tony
(29:12):
Katz ninety three WIBC, Good.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Morning, this is breaking news.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
So we have the President Donald Trump in front of
the Kannesse at the Israeli Parliament. All hostages were freed
earlier today. Tony Katz ninety three, WIBC, good morning, great
to be with you all. Twenty living hostages are now
back safely in Israel. Some have already been reunited with
(29:44):
their families. More to come. You have the President who
has been listening to the speeches from the Speaker of
the Kannasset, from the Prime Minister Benjamin at Yahoo, and
now from Yahir Lapede who leads the opposition party. This
will then bring the speech from President Trump. It is
(30:05):
my plan to bring that to you directly, completely uninterrupted.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Is the plan also to.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Discuss the Colts with a very lucky win against the Cardinals.
Now win is a win, and you take the win.
Colts thirty one, Cardinals twenty seven. Jacoby Brissett formerly of
the Colts twenty seven to forty four or three hundred
and twenty yards two touchdowns in an interception.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
He had a fine day.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Daniel Jones twenty two of thirty two hundred and twelve
yards two touchdowns in an interception. It's exactly who he is.
This is exactly what he needs to be doing. Manage, Manage, manage,
that's it every step of the way.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Just manage this team.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
But Seonthan Taylor with one hundred and twenty three yards
on the ground, that's that's just incredible. We have a
defense that bends in kind of breaks. We have a
defense that isn't doing enough of the heavy lifting. That's
(31:18):
the story there. And in the college ranks, of course,
people are talking about the firing of James Franklin from
Penn State, and some people blaming Signetti for it, which
is pretty funny. It's pretty funny that that's happening. But
I think the story here is IU thirty Oregon twenty.
(31:40):
You now have IU right number three. Sorry about that.
In the world, I'm sorry. In the country, speaking of
the world, President Trump now speaking.
Speaker 8 (31:53):
Nice, mister President, mister Prime Minister, mister speakers, the members
of the Knesset and cherished citizens of Israel, we gather
on a day of profound joy, of soaring hope, of
renewed faith, and above all, a day to give our
(32:14):
deepest thanks to the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
We will carry the entirety of the President's speech keeper
right here. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC WIBCHD one Indianapolis.
Speaker 8 (32:44):
Years and Darkness and Captivity twenty Courageous hostages are returning
to the glorious embrace.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Of their families.
Speaker 8 (32:54):
And it is glorious twenty eight more precious loved ones
are coming home at asked to rest in this sacred.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Soil for all of time, and.
Speaker 8 (33:06):
After so many years of unceasing war and endless danger.
Today the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Are still, and the sun rises on.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
A holy land that is finally at peace, a land
and a region that will live God willing in peace
for all eternity. This is not only the end of
a war. This is the end of a age of
(33:39):
terror and death and the beginning of the age of
faith and hope and of God. It's the start of
a grand concord and lasting harmony for Israel and all
the nations of what will soon be a truly magnificent region.
I believe that so strongly, the historic dawn of a
(34:02):
new Middle East. I want to express my gratitude to
a man of exceptional courage and patriotism whose partnership did
so much to make this momentous stay possible. You know
who I'm talking about. There's only one Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
We do please stand up. And he is not easy.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
I want to tell you he's not the easiest guy
to deal.
Speaker 8 (34:46):
With, but that's what makes him great. That's what makes
them great. Thank you very much, maybe great job. And
(35:08):
let me also convey my tremendous appreciation for all of
the nations of the Arab and Muslim world that came
together to press Samas to set the hostages.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Free and to send them home.
Speaker 8 (35:21):
We had a lot of help. We had a lot
of help from a lot of people that you wouldn't suspect,
and I want to thank them very much for that.
It's an incredible triumph for Israel in the world to
have all of these nations working together as partners in peace.
And it's pretty unusual for you to see that, but
it happened in this case.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
This was a very.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
Unusual point in time, a brilliant point in time.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Generations from now.
Speaker 8 (35:48):
This will be remembered as the moment that everything began.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
To change and change very much for the better.
Speaker 8 (35:57):
Like the USA right now, it will be the golden
age of Israel and the golden.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
Age of the Middle East. It's going to work together.
Speaker 8 (36:06):
I'd like to thank several great American patriots for their
invaluable help in getting something done that almost everyone thought
was absolutely impossible. We were wasting our time, so many
people said you're just wasting your time. But we weren't
because we had talented people working with us, and we
(36:26):
had people that love your country and frankly, people that
loved the region. They love the Middle East. I want
to thank my friend Steve Whitcoff. You know, Steve was
(37:02):
chosen by me. He never did this before, but I
knew him as a few things. He was a great businessman,
but I know a lot of great businessmen. To be
honest with him, he had tremendous negotiating skills. But I
know a lot of people that negotiate pretty well. Although
it is an art, but there are people that can
(37:22):
negotiate pretty well. But most importantly with Steve, he's just
a great guy. Everybody loved him, everybody.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
I mean, I know some negotiators that are so good.
Speaker 8 (37:39):
But you wouldn't have had peace in the Middle East
heed It would be in World War three right now
with some of these guys.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Everybody loves Steve.
Speaker 8 (37:48):
And they respect him, and they somehow can relate to him.
I've known him for many years and I've seen it
over and over again. If you'll come out on some
people decided to yo, please, what's this kinetic member please
explain this kinetic member.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Don't take them a not surprising that you could have
some loudness, and not surprising you could have some fools.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Please explaining me.
Speaker 8 (38:18):
Get this.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
So you now have some members being expelled from the Knesset,
and as you can see if I've got the video,
there is no messing around.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
We'll do a quick traffic Matt Bear if we can,
if you're up for it, traffic on the fives, Matt Bear,
what's going on?
Speaker 4 (38:39):
I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
We've got forty eight degrees in the American standard cooling
weather center. The time is seven to seventeen. The president continued,
speaking in front of the canessset. We're bringing it to
you live Tony Katz ninety three WIBC. Those members were
expelled from the Kanesset, and Trump's response that was efficient.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
We're back to the.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
President if I were president.
Speaker 8 (39:00):
Shame, seven thousand young soldiers a week.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
Are being killed more talking about Ukraine, right, that's a
shame that it never happened.
Speaker 8 (39:09):
But it did happen, and we won the race, and
I took over this horrible war that's been raging, and
I thought it would be easily settled, I thought it
was a hell of a lot easier than doing what
we just did very successfully with Israel and a lot
of other people.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
But this came first, and we'll get that one.
Speaker 8 (39:32):
But I set up a meeting for him to meet
with President Putin, thinking it would be a fifteen or
a twenty minute meeting.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
Steve had no idea about Russia. I had no idea
about Putin too much, didn't know too.
Speaker 8 (39:43):
Much about politics. Wasn't that interesting. He was really good
at real estate. But he had that quality that I
was looking for, and I didn't see it around in
too many ways. And I set up the meeting with Putin,
and I called. I said, Steve finished yet. That was
about a half an hour into the meeting.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
No, sir, he's not.
Speaker 8 (40:01):
He's still inside. This is in Moscow. I said, well,
how's he doing. I don't know, sir, he's still inside.
I called up an hour later. Let me speak to Steve.
Surry's still with Putin. He's with President Putin. I said, wow,
it's a long meeting.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
One hour. I called up. An hour later, he is
still with Putin. Three hours later, he is still with Putin.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Four hours later.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
He started to get the word that.
Speaker 8 (40:25):
He was going to be coming out soon, and in
five hours he came out. I said, what the hell
were you talking about for five hours?
Speaker 4 (40:35):
And he says, just a lot of interesting things.
Speaker 8 (40:38):
We're talking about a lot of interesting things, including what
he went in there for. But you can't talk about
it for five You could talk about it for a
certain period of time and you know what you're getting.
But that's a talent. That's a talent where you can
do that. Most people I'd send in number one, they
wouldn't be accepted number two if they were the meeting
(40:59):
with last five minutes.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
And that's what happens with Steve. Everybody loves him.
Speaker 8 (41:04):
They love him on this side, they love him on
the other side, and he really is. He's a great
negotiator because he's a great guy.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
So thank you very much, Steve, very much.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Steve Wikoff, of course, the middle least envoy who's been
front and center and a lot of these negotiations and
then engaged negotiations with Putin regarding Ukraine.
Speaker 8 (41:31):
You gave a very special thanks to someone who truly
loves Israel. In fact, loves it so much that my
daughter converted.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
My daughter converted. I didn't know this was going to happen.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
And Evaka's here, Banka Trump, Jared Kushner getting the applause
right now, and.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
Bb you do know this was not in the cards
for me. You understand that. And she is so happy,
and they are so happy, at least I think they're happy.
If they're not, we have a big story right now.
Speaker 8 (42:23):
They have a great marriage and they get along great.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
They're best friends. They have a very.
Speaker 8 (42:27):
Special relationship with Jared has been so helpful.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
He really did something very special.
Speaker 8 (42:38):
He established the Abraham Accords with a group of very
wonderful people. I like going to get to the Avraham
Accords because people that.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Right, he never stops never, never, never, unbelievable.
Speaker 8 (42:57):
It's so much sort of nice, you know, the Abraham
versus the Ovra Ham. I just don't want to sound
too sanctimonious when I do it, so you know, I
sort of split it up this way.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
We keep everybody happy.
Speaker 8 (43:21):
But we have some very great talent and they have
no excuses for anything that's taking place, because we had
some unbelievably good people working on this.
Speaker 4 (43:34):
And then you're going to add a man.
Speaker 8 (43:37):
Named Marco Rubio who's also here, that's right, and I
(44:01):
have a prediction that Marco will go down. I mean
this as the greatest secretary of State in the history
of the United States.
Speaker 4 (44:09):
I believe that. I believe him and he and I.
Speaker 8 (44:18):
You know, we really fought it out. You remember, he
was tough, he was nasty. Who the hell thought this
was going to happen Marco? Right, and now I'm saying
he's going to go down as the greatest. He will
he was always he was always smart and sharp, and
people respect him.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
Trump does not change.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
Have somebody who work anything but in unbelieved.
Speaker 9 (44:42):
He speaks now in front of the canessas injuriers, better
the hostages releasers than we thought, right, all of them,
all the living hostages today in Israeli custody right now.
Speaker 8 (44:52):
Who is our secretary of War, formerly secretary of Defense.
And as you know, we decisively won World War One,
(45:15):
we decisively won World War Two decisively, and everything in
between and everything before it.
Speaker 4 (45:24):
We won everything.
Speaker 8 (45:25):
And then they had the brilliant idea of changing the
name from war.
Speaker 4 (45:32):
You know, it was war to defense.
Speaker 8 (45:36):
And with that went a certain thinking and we fought
in a very politically correct way. After that, we always
had the strongest military, and now we have a stronger
military that we've ever had before. Because of my first term,
I've totally rebuilt the military, every aspect of it.
Speaker 4 (45:53):
But do we have Do you think we settled eight
wars in eight months? I'm now including this one.
Speaker 8 (46:01):
By the way, If that's okay, they may say, well
that was quick, because yesterday I was.
Speaker 4 (46:06):
Saying seven, but now I can say eight. The hostages
are back. The hostages are back.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
The applause will continue. Let's check traffic really quick.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
As President Trump addresses the Kanesset, Matt fair with traffic
on the five. What's up, Matthew? We'll continue with President
Trump here. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC talking about he
is not a fan of war. His personality means he
doesn't like war. Correct, he said the words. He is
speaking to the Kanesset. He is in Israel as the
(46:47):
hostages have been released. Twenty remaining hostages held in captivity
by Hamas terrorists have now been released. To get this done,
the Israelis have had to release over seventeen hundred Palestinian prisoners.
The President speaking now before heading out to Cairo. Let's
bring it backward to President Trump as we continue with
this special coverage of the President and the military.
Speaker 8 (47:11):
I was proud to do it, but some of the
things I hated to do.
Speaker 4 (47:15):
I hated certain of.
Speaker 8 (47:16):
The weapons because the level of power is so enormous.
Speaker 4 (47:20):
It's so dangerous, so bad that we have to do
what we have to do. We make the.
Speaker 8 (47:25):
Best weapons in the world, and we've got a lot
of them, and we've given a lot to Israel. Frankly,
and I mean, Bib would call me so many times,
(47:57):
can you give.
Speaker 4 (47:58):
Me this weapon? That weapon? Weapons? Some of them I
never heard of, maybe and I made.
Speaker 8 (48:03):
Them, but we'd get them here, wouldn't we had?
Speaker 4 (48:06):
And they are the best. They are the best. But
you used them well.
Speaker 8 (48:10):
It also takes people to nadi use them, and you
obviously used them very well. But so many that Israel
became strong and powerful, which ultimately led to peace.
Speaker 4 (48:20):
That's what led to peace.
Speaker 8 (48:26):
So as we celebrate today, let us remember how this
nightmare of depravity and death all began.
Speaker 4 (48:34):
Two years ago.
Speaker 8 (48:35):
On the eve of the Simhat Torah holiday, thousands of
innocent Israeli civilians were attacked by terrorists, and one of
the most evil and heinous desecrations of innocent life. The
world has ever seen the worst slaughter of Jews since
the Holocaust. The cruelty of October seventh struck to the
(48:59):
core of humanity itself.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
Nobody could believe what they were witnessing.
Speaker 8 (49:04):
The United States of America grieved alongside you, and we
mourned for our own citizens who were so viciously taken
that day, and to all the families whose lives were
forever changed by the atrocities of that day, and all
of the people of Israel, please know that America joins
(49:25):
you and those two everlasting vows, never forget and never again.
Speaker 4 (49:53):
From October seventh until this week.
Speaker 8 (49:56):
Israel has been a nation at war, enduring burdens that
only a proud and faithful people could withstand. It was
a very tough period of time for so many families
across this land. It has been years since you've known
a single day.
Speaker 4 (50:13):
Of true peace.
Speaker 8 (50:15):
But now, at lasts, not only for Israelis, but also
for Palestinians and for many others, the long and painful
nightmare is finally over. And as the dust settles, the
smoke fades, the debris is removed, and the ashes cleaned
(50:35):
from the air. The day that breaks on a region transformed,
and a beautiful and much brighter future appear suddenly within
your reach. This is now a very exciting time for
Israel and for the entire Middle East, because all across
the Middle East, the forces of chaos, terra and ruin
(50:58):
that have plagued the region for decades now stand weakened, isolated,
and totally defeated. A new coalition of proud and responsible
nations is emerging, and because of us, the enemies of
all civilization are in retreat thanks to the bravery and
(51:18):
incredible skill of the Israeli defense forces and Operation Rising Lion.
Speaker 1 (51:36):
Right now you have those Israeli commanders getting the applause
of the Knesset standing at their feet.
Speaker 4 (51:46):
Yeah, it's central casting. Let's put them in a movie.
Look at him. Great job.
Speaker 8 (51:53):
And my people loved working with you, loved it. They
work so well together. But many of orens topped terrists
and including nuclear sciences and commanders, have been extinguished from
this earth. And with Operation Midnight Hammer Boy, that's a
(52:14):
great name for that. What we did, classroom, the United
States military flew seven of those beautiful be two bombers they.
Speaker 4 (52:24):
Looked so beautiful all of a sudden.
Speaker 8 (52:26):
They were always I thought they were pretty planes. I
had no idea they could do what they did. In fact,
we just ordered twenty eight more of them, a little update,
a little updated version. We ordered a whole pile of them,
and almost one hundred other planes went with them, including
(52:47):
fighter jets. And we had fifty two tankers, big beautiful,
brand new tankers that were loading them up four or
five times. They've traveled thirty seven hours back and forth.
Speaker 4 (52:59):
Think of that.
Speaker 8 (53:00):
But we had tankers all over the sky for all
the other planes. We had the F twenty two's, the
F thirty, fives, F sixteen.
Speaker 4 (53:07):
We had a hell of a lot of planes.
Speaker 1 (53:11):
Nothing stops Donald Trump from doing Donald Trump things and
engaging as he does, talking as he does, going off
script as he does. I'm going to bring you more
of President Trump speaking live right now in Jerusalem, the
hostages return, the President taking a massive victory lap because
(53:31):
of it.
Speaker 2 (53:32):
That's why I'm bringing it to you.
Speaker 1 (53:34):
But we'll go to Ryan Hedrick in the WIBC newsroom
right now for the latest, what's happening, what's going on.
We'll check in on sports, and then check in with traffic.
Ryan Hedrick, what's up? Tony Katz ninety three WIBC. Good morning,
President Trump. He is right now in Jerusalem. He is
speaking at the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. The hostages have
(53:58):
been returned. Mass engaged in their own skirmishes in Gaza
with other clans that killed fifty four as reported fourteen
also Hamas fighters killed. These terrorists still not giving up
in destruction of their own people, or so we're told.
Speaker 2 (54:19):
But the hostages have been returned.
Speaker 1 (54:21):
Israel, to get this done, has returned over seventeen hundred prisoners.
But right now it is about the victory lap. After this,
President Trump will head to Egypt to have a security meeting.
Now usually we do the marketplace right now, brought to
you by Indiana Unclaimed dot gov.
Speaker 2 (54:39):
It's your cash.
Speaker 1 (54:39):
Go get it Indiana Unclaimed dot gov fast, easy, free
to use. Go get that last paycheck that you forgot about,
or that dividend Indiana Unclaimed dot gov.
Speaker 8 (54:50):
Go.
Speaker 2 (54:50):
Now.
Speaker 1 (54:51):
I am sharing this speech from President Trump. Made a
command decision to do so. I bring it back to
President Trump. Speaking in front of the Cannessa.
Speaker 4 (54:59):
They said, two years sir, they looked at it. Our
predecessors looked.
Speaker 8 (55:03):
They studied it three times a year, would do drills
on that exact attack, and boy did they get it right.
But let's assume they didn't. Then let's assume there was
large scale nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran. We
couldn't be here today even if we signed the deal,
which we couldn't do because a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (55:23):
Would not want to have anything to do with it.
We took a.
Speaker 8 (55:26):
Big cloud off of the Middle East and off of Israel,
(55:49):
and it was my honor to help.
Speaker 4 (55:52):
But it isn't it true though?
Speaker 8 (55:54):
That? Can you imagine the same Let's assume maybe the
same documents, we had, every thing the same, but you
had somebody out there that was, in the opinion of.
Speaker 4 (56:05):
Everybody all powerful in the Middle East.
Speaker 8 (56:10):
They took a big hit, didn't they didn't they take
a big hit? Boy, oh boy, they got it from
one side for the other. And you know, it would
be great if we could make a piece deal with them.
And I think that's me. Would you be happy with that?
Wouldn't it be nice?
Speaker 2 (56:23):
I think.
Speaker 4 (56:25):
Because I think they want to. I think they're tired.
Speaker 8 (56:28):
Somebody said, sure, they're starting their nuclear programm again. I said,
let me tell you something. They're not starting anything. They
want to survive. The last thing they want to do
is start digging holes again and mountains that just got
blown up and start.
Speaker 4 (56:42):
They're not doing this. They want to survive.
Speaker 8 (56:44):
Okay, But I think we have a chance, Steve, you
and I think Jared, come on, I'll call you back
for another one. We always bring Jared when we want
to get that deal. Clothes, we bring Jared. But Steve,
you and Jared and the General and Pete and Mark go,
you'll get that deal done easy. I think that'll be easy.
But first we have to get Russia done. We got
(57:06):
to get that one done.
Speaker 4 (57:07):
If you don't mind, Steve, let's focus on Russia first.
Speaker 2 (57:10):
Ah, the guy is just.
Speaker 4 (57:15):
In Lebanon.
Speaker 8 (57:15):
The dagger of Hesbela, long aimed at Israel's throat, has
been totally shattered. My administration is actively supporting the new
president of Lebanon and his mission to permanently disarm Hesbela's
terror brigades, who's doing very well and build a thriving
(57:36):
state at peace with its neighbors.
Speaker 4 (57:38):
And you're very much in favor of that. I know,
and it's good things are happening. They're really good things.
Speaker 8 (57:45):
And with this week's cease fire, we've achieved the most
challenging breakthrough of them all, the most challenging breakthrough maybe ever.
Speaker 4 (57:53):
I mean, I've never seen anything like.
Speaker 8 (57:54):
I've been involved in a lot of success, I have
never seen anything like what's going on to all over
the world. People are dancing in the streets, not just
in Israel, They're dancing in the streets of countries that
would have never danced in the street about what's happening today.
Speaker 4 (58:12):
They're dancing in those streets.
Speaker 2 (58:17):
So this long and difficult war.
Speaker 4 (58:19):
Has now ended.
Speaker 8 (58:20):
You know, some people say three thousand years, some people
say five hundred years. Whatever it is, it's the granddaddy
of them all. And in an unprecedented achievement, virtually the
entire region has endorsed the plan that Gaza will be
immediately demilitarized, that Hamas will be disarmed, and israel security
(58:43):
will no longer be threatened in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 4 (58:58):
So Israel, with help, has won all that they can
by force of arms. You've won, I mean, you've won.
Speaker 8 (59:07):
Now it's time to translate these victories against terrors on
the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity
for the entire Middle East. It's about time you were
able to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Speaker 4 (59:23):
Mister opposition leader.
Speaker 8 (59:25):
I said, he's a very nice opposition Later I think, no,
he's a nice man.
Speaker 4 (59:30):
Maybe he's a nice fan.
Speaker 1 (59:35):
President Trump is going to keep doing President Trump things.
We'll take the break on the radio side.
Speaker 4 (59:41):
Bring it back to this.
Speaker 1 (59:41):
I have a lot of older things to cover, So Kylin,
you can run, you can be able to that break
right there, keep it here.
Speaker 2 (59:49):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning, This is right Jared.
Speaker 1 (59:55):
Tony Kats ninety three WIBC, Good morning. It's President Trump
speaking in front of the Kanas at the Israeli Parliament.
Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
The hostages being freed this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
All twenty who are so alive returned to Israel. The
remains coming next. Hopefully that will work out behind as well.
The President has been speaking now for about twenty five minutes,
speaking about the scourge of anti Semitism and how it
doesn't work, and now addressing the parliament.
Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Let me bring it back to President Trump. Pull them up.
Speaker 8 (01:00:27):
Now you have peace, you have people that really like Israel,
I'll tell you what. And they like Israel a lot
more today than they did even five weeks ago. Like
you've made a lot of you've come back, you've come
back strong, because who is getting to be a little
nasty out there in the world And ultimately the whorld wins.
You can't beat the world. Well, I would say to
(01:00:47):
bb BB it's now time, and he understood it better
than anybody, because ultimately, you know, the world's a very
big place.
Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
And I've said a lot. I said, this piece of
land is very small. It's unbelievable. And you've known with
that tiny you look at a map.
Speaker 8 (01:01:05):
Even of just not the world, the Middle East, and
you have this little dot and think of.
Speaker 4 (01:01:11):
What you've done. It's incredible. It's incredible. But the world
(01:01:32):
is loving. The world is loving Israel again.
Speaker 8 (01:01:37):
And I said to it, you know, the world is
big and it's strong, and ron ultimately the world wins
and we don't have to worry.
Speaker 4 (01:01:46):
About that now.
Speaker 8 (01:01:46):
But there was getting to be a period of time
over the last few months. You know, the world wanted peace,
and Israel wanted piece. Everybody did. Everybody did, and what
a victory it's been. Right, what a victory it's been.
And if you would have gone on for three four
more years, keep fighting, fighting, fighting, it was getting bad,
(01:02:07):
it was getting heated.
Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
The timing of this is brilliant. And I said, BB,
You're going to be remembered.
Speaker 8 (01:02:13):
For this far more than if you kept this thing going, going, going,
kill kill, kill, it would be.
Speaker 4 (01:02:21):
It would not be the same.
Speaker 8 (01:02:22):
And I just want to congratulate you for having the
courage to say that's it. We've won, and now let's
enjoy our lives and let's rebuild Israel and make it
stronger and bigger and better than it's ever been before.
Speaker 4 (01:02:36):
You're going to do that.
Speaker 8 (01:02:39):
Took a lot of guts, and the choice for Palestinians
could not be more clear. This is their chance to
turn forever from the path of terror and violence. It's
been extreme to exile the wicked forces of hate that are.
Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
In their midst, and I think that's going to happen.
Speaker 8 (01:03:00):
I've met some people over the last couple of months
that want to see it happen very much. And after
tremendous pain and death and hardship, now is the time
to concentrate on building their people up instead of trying.
Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
To tear Israel down. We don't want that to happen again.
Speaker 8 (01:03:20):
That would be nice, and the total focus of Gossans
must be on restoring the fundamentals of stability, safety, dignity,
and economic development so they can finally have the better
life that their children really do deserve after all these
decades of horror. I intend to be a partner in
this effort in the sense that we're going to help
(01:03:42):
and we're going to do something that became unbelievably popular.
Everybody wants to be on it. It's called the Board
of Peace. Okay, how about that? Is that a beautiful name?
Like a board a peace lord the only bad thing
(01:04:02):
from my standpoint, every single nation involved has asked me.
Speaker 4 (01:04:07):
To be the chair, and I'll tell you, I'm very busy.
Speaker 8 (01:04:11):
I didn't count on that. But you know what, if
we do it, we'll do it right. And we have
unbelievable power and wealth because you're.
Speaker 4 (01:04:19):
Going to need wealth.
Speaker 8 (01:04:20):
You're going to need wealth to rebuild things, and they
have wealth like few people have wealth. I want to
thank the Arab and Muslim nations for their commitment is
they've made to support a safe rebuilding of Gaza and beyond.
Speaker 4 (01:04:35):
I have many.
Speaker 8 (01:04:36):
Arab countries, very wealthy countries that came up and said
we'll put up tremendous amounts of money to get rebuilt,
to rebuild Gaza.
Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
And I think this the question will be, mister President,
as he's speaking to the kennetset, how are you going
to deal with Iran and their funding of terrorism?
Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
How are you going to deal with other nations that are.
Speaker 1 (01:04:59):
Supportive, including the Qataris, which we're engaged in way too
chum me of a relationship with These questions are legit
and real.
Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
They're going to come up that there's money for rebuilding.
Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Well, people see a value in the rebuilding, They see
a return in the rebuilding.
Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Some people do it because for the love of the game.
Some people do it because they want to return. I
assume this is a good fifty to fifty mix in
people engaging in that investment. But the question, of course
will be how do you ensure the safety and security
of the American people. That's the key question. That's what
(01:05:38):
people are going to be looking for. How do we
ensure a Middle East that ensures we have a better, thriving,
safer society.
Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
And I don't think that's an awkward question.
Speaker 1 (01:05:52):
I think that a safer Middle East simply means a
safer society overall.
Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
And if those engage in terrorism.
Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
Realize they can't win the game, you encourage less terrorism,
which is why what Canada and the UK and Spain
and Australia did and recognizing a Palestine is so awful.
It's giving them reasons to go at it again. That's
the fundamental flaw of their plan. As for this plan,
(01:06:22):
getting the hostages back was everything, and they did it.
And for that and that alone, Trump deserves every accolade
in the world. And most importantly, most importantly, I would
tell the President that it may still come, but no
Nobel Peace prize can do you better than this. No
(01:06:45):
Nobel prize will ever be stronger ever than what you
did to ensure these twenty human beings were able to
escape hell.

us from ninety three five one A, seven to five
to the fan. I want to get to the Colts,
but first IU thirty Oregon twenty and this team is
(01:08:42):
only third in the nation.
Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
What say you.
Speaker 10 (01:08:45):
Thought was the most impressive, the most physical?
Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
Tony?
Speaker 10 (01:08:48):
And I've watched decades of IU football, mostly bad but
sprinkled in sometimes some good. And I've never seen an
IU football team on both sides of the football, especially
up front, play that physical or out physical somebody like
Oregon to the point where you were watching that game
on Saturday, it kind of felt like Oregon was a
(01:09:09):
little shell shock about the way they were being treated
by by IU football physicality wise. And I don't have
never seen an AU football team like that. And then
the other thing that stood out to me Tony on
Saturday is the bounce back. Normally IU football. You and
I talked about this after the IOWA in a couple
(01:09:29):
of weeks ago. You know, normally those are the types
of games they lose. Normally they go away when things
didn't go right, or you make a big play, or
you know, something happens to you unforeseen and you don't.
You don't get back from it. I you responded every
single time against a top notch team in a very
(01:09:49):
difficult environment on Saturday. I can't stop with the pats
on the back because that was just something that we
have never seen out of AYU football. It was awesome
and why shouldn't it continue?
Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
Is the argument that Oregon thought that they were Oregon
and everyone's going to be afraid of them, And here
walks in IU and is like, hey, yeah, you want
to know what I think of your mother?
Speaker 8 (01:10:11):
Like?
Speaker 7 (01:10:11):
Is it is?
Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
It? It's so it's attitudeinal more than anything else.
Speaker 10 (01:10:16):
I think it's this if you look around nationally, it's
like how you have to prove and reprove, continue to
do that to build every single time. You know, last
year was flu and this year the scheduling has been
solved and all this. You have to prove every single
time and that's just going to be the nature of
the game for the foreseeable future for this football program.
But I'm telling you, it looked like Oregon was not
(01:10:38):
quite ready for the physicality that you brought. And I
cannot remember a time when an AU football team did
that in that environment. It gets the team like that
on the road, and now you start looking, well, can
they run the table? You start thinking about, you know,
the Big Ten championship game and things like that, because
the schedule is of such to where they should continue
(01:10:59):
to win football game starting this weekend against Michigan State.
Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
Now let's bring it over to the Colts thirty one
twenty seven over the Arizona Cardinals. We have a bend
and little bit break kind of defense because if you
take a look at the numbers of Daniel Jones twenty
two for thirty two hundred and twelve yards, two touchdowns
and an interception, that's how he does it minus the interception.
Most times Jonathan Taylor twenty one carries one hundred and
(01:11:23):
twenty three yards.
Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
That's how he does it most of the time.
Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
This is the story of our defense, which is bend,
don't break, but sometimes they a little bit break. Is
this a defensive problem that lou Arimo has or is
this something else?
Speaker 10 (01:11:38):
It is here? It is, I mean, it's something we
probably should put it on microscope a little bit here
in the secondary and upfront. And I was, you know,
talking about this on TV last night. Something has to
give on this. I mean, really, something has has got
to give upfront. You got to get more pressure on
the quarterback or you have to be better in protection
on the back again, and we knew that Savarius Award
(01:12:01):
with that mishappened pregame warm ups, was going to take
out your best secondary defensive player. Problematic, but it was
bad against Jacoby Brisset. We watched Jacoby Brissett, the former
Coats quarterback, carved them up simply yesterday. So something has
to get better. But I will also tell you this,
it's not all about the negative, because that is a
(01:12:22):
game in which the Colts in the past handful of
hers Tony would lose. They would lose that game and
then had the potential of going back to back losses
having to go to Southern California next week. So they did.
In the shoutout to Jonathan Taylor, I thought he was great,
and you mentioned Daniel Jones making some big passes late
in that game as well. I thought we found out
(01:12:44):
a little bit more about that Coats team for the good,
But considering the defense, some things have to be done
because you're not going to be able to get away
with it with better teams if your secondary looks like
that while there is no little to no quarterback rush
up front, they got by this time. Next time they
may not be so fortunate.
Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
That is JMV the Voice of Sports in Indiana ninety
three five when a seven five to the fan and
I agree, in years past the Colts would have folded
and they did not. Tony Katz and ninety three WIBC,
Good morning, Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, Good morning. Good
to be with you inside Indiana business with Gary Dick
right now and listen, big big news day going on
(01:13:30):
all across the globe, but always something going on inside Indiana,
business going on in this state. There's a story that
you've got about a report out of DC Gary Dick,
regarding the amount of investments we've got Honda, Suber Toyota.
(01:13:51):
They have invested nearly twelve billion dollars into Indiana. But
what we talk about is actually losing part of I
think it was Toyota leaving for our or not bringing
more here.
Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
I think bringing it to Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
So the big question is exactly how much does auto
contribute to Indiana's economic future and is that future really
safe and sustainable?
Speaker 11 (01:14:20):
Yeah, Tony and you mentioned the foreign automakers in Indiana
that have really set up shop, if you will, over
the past couple of decades, several decades, and investing a
lot of money into the state of Indiana. That report
that you mentioned came out last week, big numbers, big jobs.
You mentioned Toyota in Princeton, Southwest Indiana, seven eight thousand
(01:14:45):
employees at that massive facility, and you also mentioned the
fact that that facility lost a bit of investment, some
of the work going to a Toyota plant in Kentucky,
not a positive for the.
Speaker 4 (01:14:56):
State of Indiana.
Speaker 11 (01:14:57):
But overall, as you look at that investment, Indiana continues
to be the most manufacturing intensive state in the country,
and the auto industry remains a very important piece of that.
And not just the domestic auto makers, but Toyota, Honda
in Greensburg, obviously SIA in Lafayette, those companies contributing big
(01:15:20):
time and employing lots of folks.
Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
Speaking of employing lots of folks, Bombardier pretty worthwhile name
aircraft manufacturer opening a service center at the Fort Wayne
International Airport, which is not one we often think of,
you know, in terms of the travels that we take
International refers to the length.
Speaker 2 (01:15:44):
Of the runway.
Speaker 1 (01:15:45):
By the way, that's what makes something a regional airport
versus an international airport is the length of the runway,
so therefore the kinds of planes that it can handle.
But this is a I think a really good story
about Indiana growth and a great value.
Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
Tell me more.
Speaker 11 (01:16:03):
Yeah, and you and I, Tony have talked a lot
about the fact that the state of Indiana, not just Indianapolis,
not just Central when the Indiana needs to participate, if
you will, in the economy and get some of these
economic development wins. That's representative of this investment that was
announced late last week. The company looked throughout the Midwest
at a number of airports before designing on Fort Wayne International.
(01:16:28):
Multi million dollar investment expected to have about one hundred
jobs as service center for the jets they're servicing that
they provide to the business community, government and a number
of entities. So a real win for north to east Indiana.
But also Tony, I think the state wide nature of it,
(01:16:48):
but also the fact that it is an industry of
the future, if you will, that Indiana is pursuing when
it comes to economic development of wanting to get investment.
These jobs pay typically will above skilled jobs pay above
the state average, and there the kinds of jobs that
every state in the country is going after. So a
(01:17:09):
big win for Fort Wayne. And in this aerospace and
defense sector, that's where there's a feeling there is a
real opportunity for Indiana as you look at companies like Rolls,
Royce and raytheon El three Harris in Fort Wayne is
another big company doing big defense work crane in southern Indiana.
So there are a lot of assets here. In fact,
(01:17:29):
I talked with Senator Jim Banks last week in DC
about this and he feels as though this could be
a tipping point as you look at the investment in
Fort Wayne for more things to come in the future.
Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
In the same.
Speaker 1 (01:17:42):
Breath, talking to Gary Dick from Inside Indiana Business dot Com,
Knox County, you have this story that there was a
plan to build a seventy nine million dollar bioplastics facility
of Benceentens and now that's being suspended.
Speaker 2 (01:17:59):
We give it, take it away. Why is this not happening?
Speaker 11 (01:18:04):
Yeah, and the company and the company's agro renew and
it was really an interesting and I think a positive
story on a number of fronts. This was a startup
that kind of incubated down there in the an incubator
in downtown Vincennes and had big plans, a two hundred
(01:18:24):
thousand square foot facility, eighty million dollar investment essentially what
they were going to do and Hoosiers know that's that's
big melon country in Knox County in southwest Indiana. The
whole idea was to take the waste from melon farms
and to create biodegradable plastic straws, grocery bags, other types
(01:18:45):
of things like that. Again, a major investment, but that
has been put on hold. A number of areas were
cited quote unquote unforeseen circumstances related to delays in getting
equipment deliveries in some challenges regarding the viability of the project.
We'll see where that goes. To promise was for three
(01:19:06):
hundred jobs that could have been part of that deal. Uh,
we'll see where that. We're going to cut a lot
of people by surprise. But a real example of what
could happen in Indiana when it comes to the agg
biosciences and startup activity that's being sheld of at least
for now.
Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
Gary Dick inside Indiana Business dot Com. I appreciate it, man,

I know this.
Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
I believe you do.
Speaker 1 (01:20:57):
I almost want to say, Carl, do you have the
list that Carl uses producer Kylin?
Speaker 11 (01:21:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:21:03):
Okay, so this isn't a repeat, not that I saw.
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning. It's time to
play America's favorite game. What the heck is that television
theme song?
Speaker 4 (01:21:13):
Here?
Speaker 1 (01:21:13):
Is how we play our game. Producer Carl, who's out
on assignment. It usually plays a television theme song from yesteryear.
I have to guess what it is. It's producer Kylin,
who has been in handled today. By the way, Kylin
like a champ. As we're covering live everything that was
coming out of Israel President Trump's visit there, the hostage.
Speaker 2 (01:21:32):
Is being released. They are home all twenty to get them.
Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
Israel released seventeen hundred prisoners, and yet still there are
remains of Israeli hostages and others that have not been
fully returned yet and we don't know if they actually
will be, which is another story in and of itself.
All more on the political ramifications and what's coming next
on Tony Kats today at noon. But right now, I
have to guess what that television theme song is now,
(01:22:00):
Dave in the chad, so the chat room is allowed
to help me if you live stream at w IBC
dot com or I should say YouTube dot com slash
w i b C. Dave Is believes he has the answer,
but I should have a phone of friends and ask
Matt Bear.
Speaker 2 (01:22:17):
Matt Bear, allow me, what is this television theme song?
That nice, nice, well done?
Speaker 5 (01:22:31):
Not?
Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
I don't, I don't. I don't know. No, sorry, I don't,
I don't. I don't have a I don't have a
good answer for that one.
Speaker 1 (01:22:42):
I I first thought it was Dollhouse. It is not
Doogie howser. Dave in the chat room said, Gray's Anatomy
and no, chat room, that is not the theme to
my mother.
Speaker 2 (01:23:02):
The car.
Speaker 1 (01:23:04):
That is some stuff dies hard man this me he did.
Speaker 4 (01:23:10):
Matt Man's gonna live forever because she's a car.
Speaker 2 (01:23:15):
I'm gonna go with Gray's Anatomy final answer. Ah, good
job David. The chat.
Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
That is the theme television theme song to Grey's Anatomy.
Speaker 2 (01:23:31):
Well done, Well done, guys.
Speaker 1 (01:23:34):
We have a lot to get to on Tony Katz
today at noon, this speech that Trump gave their turn
of the hostages?
Speaker 2 (01:23:41):
What comes next?
Speaker 1 (01:23:42):
And we still have this this security meeting that's taking
place in Egypt in a couple hours, So what comes
from that.
Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
Is the question.
Speaker 1 (01:23:55):
Then we need to have more redistricting conversation since tomorrow
he brought this up earlier.
Speaker 2 (01:24:02):
I get the people.
Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
There are people who are legitimately opposed to redistricting in Indiana.
But the arguments are the argument of well, why aren't
we worrying about property taxes? That is not to me
a valid argument, The argument of well the Democrats are
going to be united. What the Democrats got united about abortion?
You know how many state wide races they won?
Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
Zero? What are we talking about? What are we talking about? Well,
the independence.
Speaker 1 (01:24:32):
I believe that this is why people don't make moves because.
Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
Ooh, ooh, look what it's going to be so bad?
What if it already is bad?
Speaker 1 (01:24:45):
I'm not interested in a conversation about meekness and I
will get in to that for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
But there is a bunch more happening.
Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
Including is the United States sharing in tell with Ukraine
to take out Russian infrastructure, which would be a fascinating
story of you should have worked with me when you could, Vladimir. Now,
I found myself a new girl and she's super pretty.
That's basically what's happening. And the Trump China story on tariff,
(01:25:18):
So why this market is right now exploding when on
Friday it was crying because Trump's cooled.
Speaker 2 (01:25:24):
The water, or at least trying to.
Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
But we just need to understand what a problem China is.
Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
This rare Earth story is bigger than we know.
Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
Oh and the left has now decided that Antifa isn't real.
Speaker 2 (01:25:43):
It's adorable, pathetic.
Speaker 1 (01:25:48):
And while some people may not like redistricting as a
political move, the left won't admit that a violent organization
is a violent organization. You tell me how Hoosiers are
going to vote. I'd like for the Republicans of Indiana
to start acting like it, if you don't mind, But
(01:26:09):
I will discuss that with you at noon. I'll discuss
it also tomorrow morning, in case you miss the noon show.
Looking forward to it. Kylon, well done, well played today.
I've got Matt Bear with Traffick in three minutes. Keep
it here. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning,
