Speaker 1 (00:15):
The decision package is through the House.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
It will go to President Trump's desk today and he
will sign it today. Tony Katz at ninety three WIBC,
Good morning, Good to be with you. Nine billion dollars
of spending that has been clawed back.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
If indeed you have Republicans.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Standing on this and saying, well, we saved your money,
those Republicans need to get a response, which is no, no, no,
you started saving us money.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Now you've got a lot more to do.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Nine billion in a govern men's conversation of spending isn't
even a start. Nine billion dollars is just scratching your butt.
There's real money to pull back on, and they should.
This is about foreign aid, This is about public broadcasting.

(01:21):
Over there at NPR, the CEO of NPR, who does
not believe in free speech, Katherine Marr, said that it's
a risk to the public safety of the country. No,
it's not not at all, not in any way. NPR

(01:44):
not getting funding is not a threat to Indianapolis or Indiana,
not a single bit compete like the rest of us.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
I don't actually know. I don't think I know anybody
who's at in you are.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
I don't hold an ounce of ill will to anybody
who works there. But I have absolutely no interest in
giving them a dime, and I don't.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Think we should.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
I was very happy to see this happen. Same thing
is true with PBS. So now that this nine billion
is through, our job is to ensure that weather it's
Senator Banks or Senator young Weather, name that Republican. No
one says, look at all we're saving you. No, no, no,
look at all you started to save. Look at all

(02:38):
you started, and by the way, you started really low.
Nine billion. Tell me when you get to nine hundred billion,
then we'll start cheering. But you know what, I will
give you a round of applause a two hundred and
ten billion. You only have two hundred and one billion
dollars to go. You can find it. Wait, wait, I
can find it. No wait, Elon found it. You want

(03:03):
to dismiss what Elon was doing. You want to dismiss
doje as a concept? Nutty, I know we don't talk
about it anymore. Oh, Elon Trump had a fight, and
now you can't stop it. Good ideas are good ideas,
and it's a good one. Keep cutting, keep rescinding, keep
pulling back, spending that we don't need and do not

(03:25):
stop at all. Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, Good morning.
The autopen probe continues. This from the White House Counsel's Office.
Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, Good morning.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Good to be with you.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
The White House launching an investigation of the autopen used
to put President Biden's signature on pardons and other official documents.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
It is a scandal.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
The argument was was they talked to President Biden and
they said, here's here's the kind of like parameters we're
gonna utilize to you to offer pardons.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Right, this is what we're gonna do and and and put.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Out there and and uh uh Biden supposedly said, great,
butter pecan please. That was allegedly the answer that the
I guess, President Gay, I don't know. It was if
you if you're not running the country, are you actually
the president?

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Right?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Because if you don't have to be running the country
and be the president, producer Carl could be president. And
have you met producer Carl. Let's not not a good
idea at all. Let's that might be insane. By the way,
Conspiracy Carl. The podcast is out and available. You should
get Carl's podcast. It is worth the price of admission.

(04:44):
It's on all the podcast platforms. Is it called conspiracy
Carl or is it called Ernest and Carl go to camp?

Speaker 1 (04:51):
It's conspiracy Corner with Carl, All with.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Cees, Conspiracy Corner with Carl the three c's, Yes, because
because the three cases not a good look.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
No exact.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
We ran that through the boys in the lab and
they were like, hey, we flagged the potential issue. You
got a problem right here. So a conspiracy corner with Carl.
Get that podcast wherever it is you get your podcast.
Subscribe today, million subscriber free bowl soup.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
The auto pen is a scandal, as we said, because
after they came to this framework of Okay, here are
the kind of pardons we're going to give based on
these things, they changed the framework without the president and
he never signed any of the pardons other people did.
He didn't know who was pardoned, he didn't know what
they were pardoned for. That seems obvious based on the

(05:46):
admission of people like Nearorkanda and others. You also had
Joe Biden's number one, Anthony Bernall, long time progressive activists
called in front of oversight House Oversight committed led by
the Republicans to answer questions about this pled the fifth
start looking into it, and we should ask ourselves what

(06:08):
we can do about it, And the answer may very
well be nothing. We might not be able to do
anything about this. There may be no way to respond
to it, to deal with it, to hold people accountable.
That's the most evil part. But if you allow evil
people to be in positions of power, expect bad things.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
This is why the constant.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Reminder is election day is November third, twenty twenty six.
Just so we all know, President Trump after weird accusation,
after weird attack on his base and on anybody who
wanted to know anything about Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, it
was weird. It was wrong, it was a mistake, It

(06:55):
was tone deaf. He missed every part of this single
part telling the Attorney General Pambondy to seek release of
the Jeffrey Epstein grand jury transcripts that took place yesterday.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Now Pam Bondi has said, okay, I'm moving on this.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
One could argue that Pam Bondi screwed this up from
the beginning, going back to the initial release of so
called information. Jeffrey Epstein was the financier. Jeffrey Epstein was
connected with Harvard a lot of rich people and giving
money here and showing up there. And Epstein also allegedly
had an island where he was flying people there and

(07:41):
they were trafficking young girls for sex. That Julane Maxwell
is in jail. Prince Andrew's life has been ruined. What's
going on here? There's a list, Well, there's not actually
a list. There are people who have been mentioned in
court transcripts who have been on the island, and those

(08:01):
names have been redacted. Our argument here has been we
don't care how rich, and we don't care how powerful
you're abusing children. We want you in jail and nothing
should stop this. To fail to share this information is
to state very clearly there are two Americas, and to

(08:21):
state very clearly that some people are just too big
to fail. I don't buy into any of that. I
go back to the bailouts. You guys didn't know me
at the time of the bailouts. The bailouts were insane
two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, too big
to fail. No one is too big to fail. Hank
Paulson was wrong and President Bush was wrong. President Bush
said I'm going to go against the free market and

(08:42):
save the free market and insane proposition. There is no
too big to fail. There is nobody too powerful to
not be in jail if they were abusing kids, no one.
And all we want is the information promised information from Bondi,

(09:04):
people in the FBI and a guy by the name
of Donald John Trump. We want the information. And then
he decided to say, you don't need this information. What
even want this information? Of this information so ridiculous, it's
all Democrat hoax. I don't disagree, sir, that Democrats would
want to use this information or any information to go
after you.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
This is kind of what they do.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
But playing into not sharing the information gave them ammunition.
Wasn't those of us say, Hey, promises were made and
the only thing we got were some binders full of
nonsense from Pam Bondy in an embarrassing display.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
To so called influencers, we want the information.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
You doubled down, triple down on a terrible idea, and
to have Caroline Levitt go out in front of the
press and say people should trust in President Trump. I've
voted for you three times. I'm not sure what else
you're looking for, but when you do something wrong, I'm
gonna say so.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
And if Caroline it or you or anybody else, that's
a problem with me.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
The citizens saying that ain't right, well, that's nutty, and
I'm not listening to you.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
I need you to listen to me. So now we're
gonna get this release. I have no idea if this
ends the.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Conversation, but you wouldn't have had this level of conversation,
this level without it.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Now, some people want to say this is only.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Taking place in social media, that's the only place this
conversation is having happening. America isn't having this conversation. I
have got Shane Gillis having this conversation on the SP's
and culturally a lot of people watch those ESPN Awards.
Let's not think it's only happening in some corners. That's
the desire of some people to stifle conversation. That's very

(10:43):
Bill Crystal, count me out of that. We'll see what
the release is. And as for the president's health, this
was Caroline Levitt during the press conference just yesterday.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
On another note, I know that many in the media
have been speculating about bruising on the President's hand and
also swelling in the President's legs, So in the effort
of transparency, the President wanted me to share a note
from his physician with all of you today. In recent weeks,
President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs. In
keeping with routine medical care and out of an abundance

(11:20):
of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White
House Medical Unit. The President underwent a comprehensive examination including
diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venus Doppler ultrasounds were
performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency A B nine in

(11:42):
common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of seventy. Importantly,
there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease.
Laboratory testing included a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel,
coagulation profile, d dimer B type natriotic peptide, and cardiac biomarkers.

(12:06):
All results were within normal limits. An echo cardiogram was
also performed in confirmed normal cardiac structure and function. No
signs of heart failure, Renal impairment or systemic illness were identified. Additionally,
recent photos of the President have shown minor bruising on
the back of his hand. This is consistent with minor

(12:28):
soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin,
which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
So the translation of all that is, he's almost eighty.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
This is what happens. That's the entire story.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
The way they shared it, I think it was a
little surprising to everybody in the room too, like they
I don't think they were expecting the information and that
level of complete This was the White House saying we
are the fully transparent people, not just bid which was
a very very good move. The only way you can
utilize this information against the president say well, you see
he's old, Dob, we can't do the job. Ab we

(13:08):
can't keep up candilect these old people. Joe Biden was
healthy as a horse and fit as a fiddle. Donald
Trump has some swelling at the ankles, and all of
a sudden he he can't do the job. Swelling at
the ankles doesn't mean that you can't do the job.
Swelling at the Ankles means you're Hillary Clinton. This cheater

(13:29):
story is really unbelievable. You've seen in the video by now.
It's a Coldplay concert and there's a couple like they
do like a kind of like a kiss cam kind
of thing, and they go around they're showing people in
the crowd. And there's this couple and she's standing there

(13:49):
and the guy is behind her, our arms around her,
and the camera comes to them, and the look of
fear when they realize they're on the JumboTron, the flat
out fear, like, well, my life's over. And even Chris
Martin Coleboys, like what is going on here? He's like, well,

(14:12):
they're having an affair or they're very shy. It was
an affair between the CEO of a company called Astronomer
and the head of HR Tony Katz. Oh my gosh,
ninety three WIBC, good morning, good to be with you. Hey,
it's a private matter, and who are you to be

(14:32):
talking me about it? If it was a private matter,
you go to a motel six, you went to a
Coldplay concert, you went where there are tens of thousands
of people. Don't tell me it's private anymore. The look

(14:55):
of fear is amazing. She turns around. He he quite
literally drops to the floor to hide himself, but it's
too late. Everybody sees this. You learn that he is
the CEO of this group, this company called Astronomer, which
I don't know anything about. She is the chief people officer,

(15:18):
and based on being caught there on video, she's doing
a fantastic job. At least one people was very happy.
He has now put out an apology. What was supposed
to be a night of music and joy turned into

(15:39):
a deeply personal mistake.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
I'm sorry, I don't know what that is.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Was it supposed to be a night of music and
joy or was it a night of telling your wife
you had to work late?

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Which one was it? Which one? Was it? Music? Enjoy?

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Is that what you call it? Some people call it
slap and tackle. I don't know, so I'm just I'm asking.
Maybe it's just the words he uses. I sincerely apologize
to my wife, my family, and the team in Astronomer.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
You deserve better from me.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
And then it ends with lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you,
which is a lyric from Coldplay. Listen his life, he
has to deal with that. He put himself in the
public place. That's his fault and his fault alone. This
wasn't somebody tailing them and getting a photo and breaking

(16:37):
into his house and invading privacy. They said privacy from ivacy,
and they went out and did this. But when the
HR team, which lordally knows how many lectures people in
that company had about how to deal with your superiority
and how to talk to people and what's considered harassment
and what's considered bigotry and what's improper. You know, the

(17:03):
the CEO of XXXY Athletics, she was right, do away
with HR departments. They're ridiculous and very few of them
go to Coldplay shows.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Maybe more of them did. Then again, am I the
only person not into Coldplay? That must be it.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, Good morning. For the record,
So write it down if you need to. The Wall
Street Journal story on Donald Trump is completely insane and
you would quite literally have to be Anna Navarro on
Abby Phillips Show on CNN to believe it. I don't

(17:43):
think I could say more clearly than that. Tony Katz,
ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Good to.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Be with you.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
This was the shocking revelation from the Wall Street Journal yesterday. Insane.
I tell you that they want to claim and here's
the headline. Jeffrey Epstein's friend Yeah to Jeffrey Epstein's story.
But oh wait, Jeffrey Epstein's friends sent him body letters

(18:10):
for a fiftieth birthday album. One was from Donald Trump.
They are making the allegation that President Trump some twenty
some odd years ago, twenty two years ago, sent a
letter to Jeffrey Epstein that was typed, a typed letter

(18:36):
with several lines of typewritten text that ends with happy birthday,
and may every day be another wonderful secret. That not
only did he write this letter, but in the margins
of the letter, he was drawing shapes to make it
look like a woman's body, and he signed his name

(19:00):
in a place where a certain part of a woman's
body would be. This is their claim, this is their argument.
President Trump immediately came out and said, this is not me.
This is a fake thing, This is a fake Wall
Street Journal story. I never wrote a picture in my life.
I don't draw pictures of women. It's not my language,

(19:22):
it's not my words. I'm gonna sue the Wall Street Journal,
just like I sued everyone.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Else, which is just a great line.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
It's insane to believe.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
This is completely insane.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
You mean, for twenty two years and everything the political
left is thrown in, Donald Trump, this letter was just
floating around and no one had it, no one found it,
no one leaked it.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
They were just waiting for the right moment. Stop it.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
President Trump states on truth Social that they knew about
this story, and they said to Rupert Murdoch, owner of
the Wall Street Journal, said uh, you you you you
you don't. You don't want this. This story is not real.

(20:20):
You know this story is not real. Don't print it.
The Wall Street Journal printed a fake letter supposedly to Epstein.
These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also,
I don't draw pictures. I told Rupert Murdoch it was
a scam, that he shouldn't print this fake story. But
he did, And now I'm going to sue his blank

(20:40):
off and that of his third rate newspaper.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Got you
gotta love. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
That's so great.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
He also notes that the Wall Street Journal and Rupert
Murdoch quote personally were warned directly by President Donald J.
Trump that the letter supposed the letter they printed by
p President Trump to Epstein was a fake and if
they print it, they will be sued. Mister Murdoch stated
that he would take care of it, but obviously did
not have the power to do so. The editor of

(21:11):
the Wall Street Journal, Emma Tucker, was told directly by
Caroline Levitt and by President Trump that the letter was
a fake, but Emma Tucker didn't want to hear that. Instead,
they're going with a false, malicious and defamatory story.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Anyway President Trump will be selling.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
It was interesting to see the number of people who
canceled their Wall Street Journal subscription yesterday. I have a
subscription to the Wall Street Journal because I utilize stories here. Right,
having a subscription does not mean I am supportive of things.
It's a good question of whether or not you put
that to the side. Now, this is insane.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
I'm a guy who wants the files released.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
I am glad that President Trump has come to the
place where it's like, you know what VANBONDI released what
you can whatever the court allows to be released from
the Epstein files. Release them right. That should have been
the whole thing from the damn beginning, mister President, and
infuriated that you went down the road that you did.
But I can do two things at once. I'm able

(22:15):
to have two thoughts in my head. That's what grown
ups do. This letter, this letter nonsense. The story is insane.
The Wall Street Journal looks insane. We often argue, not argue,
We often state as a fact because it is that
the political left always overplays their hands. They do it
every single time. They cannot stop themselves. They cannot help

(22:37):
themselves even when they're winning. They just go to extremes.
And because they can't stop, they love a camera, they
love a microphone. They have to say the crazier thing
to get noticed. I wanted to know who was involved
in abusing children, so I ever wanted to know, and
I wanted them to have justice those kids, and I

(22:59):
want those lose abusing children brought to justice. The political
left just wants to destroy Trump. I want information, and
what they've done here by posting this letter is quite
literally blow it all up.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
One wonders if that's the purpose.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
No one is going to think anything regarding Epstein now
is serious Okay, the whole thing's become a clown show.
Put it all to bed, which is what some people want,
not me, but this, this is going to go a
long way in people just pushing this story to the
side and saying, gosh, that was a nutty chapter. Everybody

(23:35):
at the Wall Street Journal should be ashamed of who
they are, every single one of them. By the way,
according to some sources, they're not showing people the letter
now that that's going to remain under wraps too.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Sure, totally believe you guys.
