Speaker 1 (00:09):
So Caitlin Clark is out of the WNBA All Star Game.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Brutal, and it's not brutal for Indianapolis.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
People are still coming, They're still spend their money, They're
still going to enjoy, They're still going to fill restaurants, in.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Bars, hotels. I want them to have a great, great,
great time.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
If you need any recommendations. First of all, welcome to Indianapolis.
I'm Tony Katz ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I am actually the official welcome wagon of all of Indianapolis.
Ask anybody in Indianapolis, they'll say, oh, has Tony said
hello to you? Tony represents us all.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Hold on, I se what they know? What they say?
Is that what they say? Well, the answer is yes
they do.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Secondly, if you need a restaurant recommendation, a food recommendation,
call in three one seven ninety three ninety three. Email
Tony at tonycats dot com. Get into the chatroom on YouTube.
We are live streaming and the chatroom is there and
you could be a part of it. Just go to
ninety three WIBC on the YouTube, subscribe there and boom,
you can be part of.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
The chat that is going on the issue here is TV.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
It's it's horrible for them, it's horrible for the league. Certainly.
There is a really interesting column. The IBJ has it
via the Washington Post, and the column is the WNBA
officiating no longer is an annoyance. It's a threat to
(01:44):
the game. The WNBA should change its logo to a bruise.
Forget that little silhouette of a woman rising for a shot.
Just use Caitlin Clark's arm or leg with a purple discoloration.
It's more fitting your name, your player. And also the
league's motto ought to be no call. The chronically lousy,
(02:07):
second rate officiating has led to such a hard play
uglification of the game that it has become the storyline
of the season. This is really good because this tells
actually a different story to the WNBA if they're listening.
(02:30):
It's the story that people in Indiana have been saying
watching the abuse that Caitlin Clark has taken now in
her second season. Do you want a league or not?
This is the only question that has to be asked.
If you want a league, you have to ensure that
people aren't getting the living's not kicked out of themselves
(02:51):
or out of each other. You have to call the penalty.
You have to make it stop. You have to call
the foul. We should use the proper parlance. You have
to get the league to stop hating Caitlin Clark because
she's white.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
You don't want to admit it. No one cares.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You have to say the words and you have to
make it stop. Don't care what the ESPN commentators have
to say. You have the opportunity to build something. You're
now going to expand the league. People still with Caitlin
Clark want to watch now, certainly with Sophie Cunningham, they
want to watch.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
They want to give it a chance. Can you believe it?
All these years?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
They want to give it a chance. Not every place
in Indiana we had Tamika catchings. We had already given
it a chance, and a bunch of us had said,
you know what kind of fun? Me Anddiana Fever had
a base here long before Caitlin Clark. That should be understood.
But not the WNBA, not at all. Does the WNBA
want to be a league or not? And if so,
(03:57):
start doing the damn job. Tell the people have a
problem with Clark to go to hell and tell the
officials to.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Call a foul.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Not everything is a foul, But when you've got Caitlin
Clark taking a knee to the abdomen, reaggravating mcgroin injury,
you saw it happen.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
When Sophie Cunningham is taking elbows.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
To the face, I must admit I don't know every
penalty that has occurred upon a Leah Boston. Make it stop,
and you can. You have to be willing to do it.
But the first step in being willing to do it
is saying we want a league. And the second step
(04:38):
is telling all of those haters at ESPN or anywhere
out there that you're not saying true to the league.
You only care about Clark because she's white and pretty
this and tell them to go to hell. And make
sure you're saying to eleven year old girls who are
showing up with their parents, who will spend any amount
of money to spend time with their kids, Hey, welcome
to the game. Don't forget to get your season tickets.
Don't forget to buy a jersey. Oh, here's a hat. Oh,
(05:00):
don't forget to enjoy the popcorn at the stadium that
we just sold out of. Sixteen thousand seats because Caitlin
Clark came to town.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
What kind of business model is this?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
That's the question being asked over there from this columnist
Sally Jenkins. I don't know anything about Sally Jenkins, but
the conversation, at least in this in in what I
shared with you is accurate. What kind of league do
you want? Do you want one at all? I'm sorry
she won't be in the All Star Game. It's terrible
(05:32):
for the ratings, but Indianapolis is still gonna make its cash,
and for that, I thank you again. If we can
help you with a restaurant pick or a bar pick
or anything else, just ask Cigar Lounge.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
We got you covered.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Just ask call in three one seven, two, three, nine,
ninety three ninety three.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
The popcorn moment, Oh, always a dream.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You know, we've been doing this, I think almost as
long as I've been on the air here. We didn't
start with this kind it kind of morphed, but I
would say it's been a decade of popcorn moments, and
and uh, maybe we'll have another decade. I don't know,
maybe we'll have another forty days.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Who knows.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Tony Kats ninety three WIBC, good morning, the popcorn moment.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, Let's go there. It
is the story you need to hear to believe. Then
grab your popcorn because.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
There is more. Many thanks to Bower Remodeling for making
that happen. B O O H E R.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Bower Remodeling dot com. I've got the story over there
at Tony katz dot com. The show sheet is up
for you. It is there every single day. You should
check it out for yourself. It is it is a dream,
I tell you, Tony kats dot com. Stephen Colbert, it
(06:56):
was announced is leaving the show. Stephen Cole Bear. His
last show is going to be in May of twenty
twenty six. Now that's not the story. That's how it
came out. The story is about CBS. Listen.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Oh hey everybody, we got a great show for yout tonight.
Senator Adam Schiff was my guest. We harmonized on seven
Bridges Road.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
What a voice, I cried.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
But before we start the show, I want to let
you know something that I found out just last night.
Next year will be our last season. The network will
be ending the Late Show in May. And yeah, I
(07:45):
share your feelings. It's not just the end of our show,
but it's the end of the late show on CBS.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
And I do want to say I do want to
say that the folks at CBS have been great partners.
I'm so grateful to the Tiffany Network for giving me
this chair and this beautiful theater to call home.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
And of course I'm grateful to.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You the audience who have joined us.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
He's grateful, sure, he is. It's been a tremendous amount
of money and a ten year run. CBS is walking
away from Late Night. Now we can have the discussion
that many have had about how in the world do
you expect late night to work when you're only interested
in half of America and everything you do is about
attacking the.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Other half of America.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Not comedy, not smart observations or the smart quip, but
attacking one group of people over and over and over again,
with the same voices every single time. His guest was
Adam Schiff, no Republicans, no Conservatives, no counter voice, and
(08:59):
he made the entire thing political, just like Jimmy Kimmel,
who told CBS to blank off he's so mad, Jimmy Kimmel,
It's all awful and we know it. So you could
argue it was indeed a ratings issue. CBS it's saying
it's a financial issue. Democrats they want an investigation. I
(09:21):
kid you not, because well, CBS has had to deal
with lawsuits from Donald Trump and maybe this is just
more capitulation to the president. They actually want to investigate this.
We want answers from CBS. You're taking away our sandbox.
Dang it, you're taking away our place to be able
(09:42):
to say anything we want. And let whatever lapping circus
seals applaud for us. Late Night's been dying anyway, because well,
the world has changed, the way people consume the content
has changed.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
We are done with the days of Johnny Carson.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
You don't need to go on The Tonight Show in
order to start your career in comedy. That career started
with five funny videos on YouTube. Didn't start in the
comedy clubs. It started with oh dang kind of response
to whatever it is was happening, and people are like,
I'll give that forty two million likes.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Oh great, let's book him at our club as a headliner.
Guy has no experience as a headliner, neither here nor there.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
You can argue it's because you attack half the country.
You can argue that the moment has passed and late
night doesn't serve the purpose in a world that has
a ton of content that you can get anytime on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
You can make that argument too.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
The Democrats argument is Trump, and if that isn't the derangement,
I don't know what is. We're losing our place, one
of our places, to be able to scream bad things
at Trump and not people applauded us. To me, that's
(11:11):
become the story even more than CBS throwing in the
towel on Late Night altogether Today on the Marketplace, oh man,
I missed my cue savagery, I tell you. Tony Katz
ninety three WIBC, Good morning.

really homegrown, home crafted Hoosierism's here and I like it.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I like, uh oh, I like delicious toads.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Are you in? These are frogs not toads. There's a
different racist.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Like an alligator crocodile? Who cares?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Secondly, are you in for thirty seven dollars?
Speaker 5 (16:33):

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, well, uh listen, uh these are from Lindsay's designs
covered in butter. We don't know Lindsay out of greenfields.

But Matt, if you want them, you're gonna have to
buy them yourself because I'm not spending thirty seven dollars on.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Although I would love to see these in like like
sold by like breakfast places or sold by Sullivan Hardware
and garden like like like or silver in the city.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
They should carry these. You can buy them, Oh my lord.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
You can put these on the table of an eye
hop and as like a napkin holder in people.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Lincoln Square should absolutely be offering up these funky pancake frogs.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Lincoln Square, Meridian and tenth.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Let's go right. So I think there's opportunity here. It's
just not mine for thirty seven dollars. That said, I
think there's a market for the funky pancake frogs, and
you can find them over at WIBC dot com, where
we have all of the marketplace fines listed, presented by
the Unclaimed dot gov. Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Chris Hayes over at MSNBC.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Is looking at the alleged letter President Trump said sent
to Jeffrey Epstein alleged letter and drew a picture of
a naked woman on it and wrote, may every day
be another wonderful secret. The Wall Street Journal putting this
out as if somehow it's a news story. It's nonsense,
(18:39):
and Chris Hayes like, wow, this is incriminating as hell.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Sure it is.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Sure it is some letter that supposedly has been around
for twenty two years, just magically appeared with the with
the Wall Street Journal yesterday and you're like, oh, that's that.
That's incriminating, as can be sure it is.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
That is so fetch, Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
It's not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
It's not it's not going to happen. Tony Katz ninety
three WIBC, Good morning. And if you think that's.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Incriminating, as someone wrote, you should check out Ashley Biden's diary.
He who oh, I could do this all day people,
all day. There was a story out of the UK
that I thought worthy of your attention because if you
(19:36):
ever asked yourself, hey, what does it look like when
a country is trying to implode the United Kingdom which
is not so united and not so much a kingdom.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
They are discussing.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Keir Starmer introduced, he is the Prime Minister introducing legislation
that will lower the voting age from eighteen to sixteen.
Bank cards can be used as voter id. This is
what they're doing, you're saying, and from the Deputy Prime
(20:10):
Minister quote, we cannot take our democracy for granted. And
by protecting our elections from abuse and boosting participation, we
will strengthen the foundations of our society.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
For the future. They're done, done, finished, complete, it's over.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Through what they have allowed via immigration, they have destroyed
their nation. You see the violence increasing in the country,
you see a very fed up citizenry, and now you're
going to let a sixteen year old vote.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Sixteen year olds don't know what they're doing. Sorry, guys,
I know sixteen year olds. Listen. I'm not saying you're
not good people. I'm saying no. As a matter of fact,
if you.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Have to be twenty one to buy a gun, you
should have to be forty one to vote. The vote
is far more dangerous than any firearm. Ever, I'm not
putting in the hands of sixteen year olds. The UK
is out of their minds. This is going to be
broken now. Scotland Wales is reported they allow sixteen year
olds to vote in some level of local elections. But
(21:15):
now you're going to add one point six million impressionable
teenagers to UK elections.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
It's over. We have made the argument.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
And this is up to Prince William because King Charles
is lost by the way President Trump is making a
state visit to the UK to meet with King Charles
again in September. He's going to be at an Aberdeen
in Turnbury in his golf course there, I think in August,
and then he's going back in September. If Prince William
(21:47):
wants to be King William, he'll probably get that chance.
If he thinks his son is going to be king,
he's out of his head.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
There's going to be nothing to be king of. It's over.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Prince William has to save the island, he has to
save the empire. He's the only he is the last chance.
After that, it's over. And it's not just gonna be
this vote for sixteen year olds. There's gonna be an
entire Islamis conversation that other people are gonna say is
biggoted to talk about.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
But the facts are the facts.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Of The data is the data, and it is happening.
Everybody sees it. Some people are too afraid to talk
about it. There will be no country left, there will
be no.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Great Britain, there will be no kingdom.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
By the way, the problem with this story is that
people take these ideas and they come to the United
States to say, ooh, we should allow this not a
chance you let a sixteen year old vote, You're out
of your mind. Sixteen year olds are children, we say
eighteen year olds are adults. That's the line. That's it.
We are not going to slide back. We're not giving
sixteen year olds the vote. We're out of our minds
(22:57):
if we do. And our job is to say to
this sixteen year old, you're not ready for this, you're
not adult enough for this, you're not qualified for this.
But if the left wants to argue that sixteen year
olds can vote, then a sixteen year old can own
a gun, and a sixteen year old could smoke a cigarette.
And if you want to tell me no, you're gonna
have to make that case. But you're gonna sound ridiculous
when you try
