Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:12):
So a guy walks down the streets of New York
with an AR fifteen, walks into a building, starts shooting people,
kills a cop three others, then takes his own life
without knowing anything. The people at CNN do this with

(00:36):
a long.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Gun visible, so it sounded like he other than the
long gun, which is not a simple thing to say,
other than in New York City, right, people don't walk
around with guns like that.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
But was his face visible? I mean, do they have
any idea at this point who he is? They do
not know who he is. They know he is a male,
possibly white. He's wearing sunglasses. How would you know he

(01:06):
was possibly white? How would you know such a thing.
But look at this is what they do. They don't
wait for information. They didn't bother to take a look
at the video. He's not white? Why would you say it?
What was the point? What was the value? No, wait,

(01:27):
don't tell us, we already know. Tony KENTTZ ninety three WYBC,
good morning, good to be with you. As unworthy. This
was CNN's chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst. Dear lord,
doesn't anybody get fired from that network? The story is
truly horrific. He brought a note with him. He carried

(01:51):
this firearm. He killed a cop, killed three others, was
on the thirty third floor of three forty five Park Avenue,
and took his own life. There's a part two to
this story that these were the headquarters of a couple
of This building was the headquarters to a couple of
major major businesses, including the National Football League. The story

(02:17):
is starting to play out that this guy played football,
But there's nothing that shows he played football in the NFL,
at least that I have seen right now, Absolutely nothing
and that shows this. But rather he played in college,
possibly in Nevada, and he played in high school. He

(02:41):
supposedly played high school in an area of California called
Granada Hills, which I when I lived there, did not
live too far away from Granada Hills. An absolutely beautiful spot.
I enjoyed it, the architecture, everything else like a true
classic kind of California look. But there's nothing that shows,
at least as of now, that he played in the NFL.

(03:04):
So why did he choose the NFL, Why did he
go after these people? Why did he kill police officer? Well,
he wants his brain examined for CTE chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
He wants to know whether or not football is to
blame for his struggles that led to him killing four.

(03:27):
I have a hard time feeling anything at all in
these situations. But maybe I don't understand everything involved with
CT nor do I know of that is to blame.
What I know is this is a horrific story, and
this is as we have it, the actual reporting, not

(03:51):
CNN coming up with lies and falsehoods and misrepresentations, because
if they can make something racial, isn't that the way
to go? Aaron Burnett, it's a terrible program you're running there.
Terrible CNN. We've said it enough times. You could have
better hosts. All you have to do is ask Tony

(04:13):
Katz ninety three WIBC, good morning, Hey, Matt, did I
forget to do traffic? Matt? No, I didn't. I did
not forget this. We did this. Hold on a second, producer, Carl,
let's turn off the music. Let's ask a couple of questions. Here,

(04:35):
do you smell toast?

Speaker 3 (04:38):
No?

Speaker 4 (04:38):
I don't. It was on the playlist, we played it.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
We must have.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, Okay, we're professionals. How do we not know this?
But Matt's not there, so I assume we did it.
And then he did what he does what at this moment,
after eating all the protein bars or all the oatmeal
is in the restroom.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
He'll be until the next traffic break.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
No, I'm back, come back. I feel great.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
Did we forget to do traffic?

Speaker 4 (05:06):
We just did traffic? See, yeah, we totally did it.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Man, Carl's like, we have to do traffic.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
We forgot.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'm like, no, we did that, okay, did we forget?
And and uh And it turns out we didn't.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
It's very weird because it was on the playlist.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Honestly, Carl needs a vacation.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
Gosh, all right, you just lay down.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
You can do it again.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
You lay down and get yourself something cool to drink it.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Carl, do you want to do traffic for another market?

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Milwaukee Mill?

Speaker 5 (05:38):
We'll take it from here.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
I got it. I got this thing. We're good. Tony
Katz ninety three, WIBC, good morning, all right, throwing some
bumper music.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Fifteen that's very funny, guys.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Fifteen to twenty percent. That's what President Trump says. The
tariffs are gonna be around the globe, and everyone's like,
my gosh. The tariffs were he's a genius. Well, we
have deals. Now just show me the deal acted upon.
You don't want to say to me, Tony, you're not

(06:10):
finding this important, outrageously important, great first step stuff. Except
I live in the real world, and in the real world,
costs are passed on. Now, what you're saying to me
is the rules of economics have been rewritten that I

(06:32):
do admittedly have a harder time believing tariffs do get
passed on. So the fifteen percent tariff of European goods
into the United States, Okay, you could always not buy
the European good, but very often that will still get purchased.

(06:53):
It will be more expensive. We seem to have absorbed
the idea of more expensive and they weren't kidding. They're
serious about this idea of a rebate check because of
tariff's Senator Josh Holly, who this is like the second
time he's really playing in the progressive world. The American

(07:15):
Worker Rebate Act. It would basically act like I think
it acts, like a tax credit, six hundred dollars per
adult and dependent child. It would go down a bit
if the adjusted gross income exceeds one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in a joint return, one hundred and twelve
thousand in a head of householders, seventy five thousand of

(07:35):
an individual. So what they're saying is we taken all
this money from tariffs that Americans pay, Well, we'll give
everybody a little bit back. Now, Originally I was thinking,
are they going to decide certain people get it back,
because that's what President Trump said, certain people, certain groups
will get money back. So group A pays the tariff,
Group B gets cash. That's wealthy distribution, count me out.

(08:00):
What Hally is saying is that it would go to
It would work like the COVID stimulus checks, setting up
the program as a refundable tax credit, So that would
mean it would go everywhere to everyone, which is certainly
different than saying specific groups. Still, now it's costing you

(08:25):
more than six hundred bucks because they're not gonna give
me more than I spend, but uh, here you go
and stay quiet. Also, for some people to cast zero
and some people's cost a lot of money and they're
only getting back six hundred, and then somebody didn't do
anything is getting six hundred. Yeah, I'm not a that

(08:45):
kind of stuff I'm not a fan of If you
told me you were paying down debt with tariffs, would
be like, Okay, you added a tax so we could
pay down debt better now than later. Let's go better
on me than my kids. Let's do the thing. That's
still not what we're doing. And as for the fifteen
to twenty percent, it's very clear that ever that so

(09:10):
far every country that has come through with a deal
understands they're going to pay this tariff and they're gonna
figure out the math somehow. They're gonna make it up somewhere.
As for this deal with EU, we're gonna have doctor
Matt will On from the University of Indianapolis and at
a fifteen the buying of energy is great, the buying

(09:30):
of the military hardware is great. This was gonna happen anyway.
That is not a nay saying. There are other things
about this that are very impressive. The idea that he
was able to announce it as a deal, and the
idea that the Europeans allowed themselves to look like this.
It's crazy, it's surreal. It boggles the mind. So you've

(09:58):
got deals with the UK via Indonesia, the Philippines and
Japan based on this list, South Korea and India is
what you needed to really have the application to really
be able to apply pressure to China. I don't know
how that deal is going to go at all. Trump
has also shortened the deadline for Vladimir Putin. Hey, you

(10:22):
had fifty days to work at a deal with Ukraine.
Let's let's make it ten maybe twelve point? Is you
suck Vladimir? That's that's basically what it is. Trump said,
we would have had a deal. I've spoken to President
Putin a lot. I always had got along with him
very well. But five times and every time four times maybe,

(10:45):
But we've had discussions. You and I have had discussions.
We thought we had that settled numerous times.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
And then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets
into some city like Kiev, and a lot of people
in a nursing home or whatever.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
You have bodies lying all over the street.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
And I say, that's not the way to do it.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
So we'll see what happens with that.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Are very disappointed.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
I'm okay with disappointed in that.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
It's a fine thing to say.

Speaker 5 (11:15):
What comes.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
I still don't believe Putin is going to respond to sanctions.
But that's what's coming first, and it seems to be
coming quickly, and as we have seen them. Not so
much from kir Starmer, the Prime Minister of the UK,
who desperately wants to continue to tie the sale to
the United States.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
He's not interested in the fight, in the war, words, etc.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
It is Mark Root, the Secretary General of NATO, who
is the guy who is most aligned, saying, Yeah, let's
make the make it five percent of GDP that'll be
to spend on NATO. Yes, let's buy the hardware from
the US. We'll hand it over to Ukraine so they
can use it against the Russians. Let's go with this
because they have figured out the Russian threat and that
the only way to depend on the United State is

(12:00):
to actually treat them kinda Well, yeah, we'll still lead. Yeah,
we'll end up spending more money in terms of actual dollars,
but it's the same percentage. But as long as everybody's in,
we're good. If everyone's not in, we're not good. That's
the Trump methodology. And Root needs America in and realize
the moment for dealing with Russian aggression might be right now,

(12:22):
which means the US might be doing much more in
a proactive way. At least that's what NATO is gonna want.
The question is how does magavel respond. That's a discussion
for later. Livestream is happening, chatroom is open. That's happening
on the youtubes. You should check it out. Just look

(12:42):
for ninety three WIBC and subscribe and down the way.
He's nothing really to download. You just subscribe. We take
care of the rest, just so easy. Tony Katz, ninety
three WIBC, Good morning, good to be with you.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
I have got more about.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
This shooting that took place in New York and really
the failure of media this time, CNN, especially with their
immediate Well, this guy.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
Is probably white. You didn't know anything, why'd you do that?

Speaker 1 (13:17):
And the suspect in the killing of four people, killing
a police officer then taking his own life not white.
But if you all, and when I say you all,
I mean you leftists in mainstream media want to keep

(13:41):
pushing this idea that race comes first, and you make
assumptions and that's news.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
Well it's all right, you could.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
I can't stop you from doing it, but we are
going to bash you over the head. With it, and
I'll say it again, Aaron Burnett, a so called expert
to make that say, the law enforcement expert to make
that statement, and then no rebuttal, no response. What we
don't know it should have been immediate.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
It happened later.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
I don't know it. It should have been immediate. Well,
what a terrible presenter. She is awful and horrific. Meanwhile,
there are people out there trying to do good work,
trying to solve problems like how do you make it
easier to get somebody a vaccine? And you're like, are

(14:34):
we really doing? This is not a COVID story. This
is a fascinating bit of science right here. Producer Carl
found this story in a site called the News. I
think that's why it's pronounced. There is a dental floss
that can reduce stress. And I think by now most

(14:57):
people know that, like teeth health and gum health, these
things are very related to overall health. And I can
tell you the story about my father arrests his soul.
This this isn't how he lost his life, but it
changed his life. He had to work done on his

(15:19):
teeth and then days later in a hospital endocarditis. Am
I saying it right.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
Oh, he was never he was never the same.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
He would have told you that physically, never the same,
not by a long shot. But you have doneal work
being done, and things can happen and things get into you.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
It's it's pretty intense stuff.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
So what they figured out is that researchers revealed that
they could trigger immunerous responses in mice by coding floss
with proteins and an inactive flu virus, and they could

(16:11):
actually deliver a vaccine. Now, I do not know if
you are a flosser. I believe you should be one.
I do not use the actual floss floss. I use
those it's like floss on a stick, you know what
I'm talking about. It's it's it's like like a U
and it's got a handle and it's it's got this

(16:33):
little piece of floss in it, and take care of
it that way. That's that's what I use. It's probably
not good for the environment, but hey, I can either
have good teeth or good environments. All I know is
I'm gonna die in the wasteland with a very attractive smile.
But they figured this out that if you could do
this via flossing, you could you can actually engage a vaccine,

(16:59):
which I mean I think means you can engage a whole.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
Bunch of things, which is pretty fascinating.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Or if you're like Conspiracy Carl, which you can get
the podcast, by the way, the Conspiracy Carl podcast, it
is available wherever you get your podcasts our very own
Carl is there for you. It's Conspiracy Corner with Carl
is where you get the podcast. But if you do,

(17:25):
you will hear him talk about this. And that's how
they're able to implant the radio waves and know where
you are and track you every step of the way.
Isn't that right, Carl, exactly exactly. I gotta admit it's
fascinating stuff. They're cool ideas out there. I don't know

(17:48):
if anybody's gonna actually take a vaccine this way, but
it is a very cool idea. Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC,
Good Morning.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
The announcement comes at seven oh six.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
You should be tuned in and you should be saving
the date August twenty third. The save the date announcement incoming.
We will get to it soon enough. Tony Katz, ninety three, WIBC,
Good morning, Good to be with you.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
I came across a story.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
About this is the headline TikToker arrested in Arizona over
prank videos, according to police. Now, I will admit to
you that I think all pranks are the lowest form
of everything. I don't think any of it's cute. I

(18:49):
don't think any of it's fun. I don't think any
of it's funny. I don't think any of it's valuable.

Speaker 5 (18:53):
And I get it. I'm I'm just I don't understand it.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
It's me.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
Other people love this stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
They love it, they love it, they like pulling a
prank on a friend or whatever it is. They even
saying the words makes me feel oogy. It does. It
makes me feel awful. I want sort of story about
George Clooney, the actor who would have stationary made to

(19:21):
emulate friends, including other celebrities, and would write cards to
people and be like very very embarrassing and say things
as if he was somebody else. I don't think that's funny.
I think that makes you scumback. I don't think that's loving.
I don't think that's caring. I think it's I think
it's garbage. Okay, maybe I'm just dead inside and I

(19:43):
have no sense of humor. I don't think that's the case.
I think the people who engage in pranks are just
cheap people. See we have a difference, I'll leave it be.
The story goes as follows police investigating a local business
after a local business was complaining of a group of
men coming into the store addressed as employees, and it

(20:07):
turns out this TikToker, Heston James, would gather friends, Let's
say they'd go to Target. They'd all wear red shirts
and they would pretend to be Target employees and when
asked to leave, they wouldn't leave.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
That's not a prank. That's you being a scumbag.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
And when you are this kind of person disrupting how
I run my business, especially if I'm in Target, I
know that I've got something from Lawn and Garden or
Sports I can grab and get you out of the store.
You understand that if you do these videos, you should
expect to get hurt, and on a very very personal level,

(20:51):
on a very personal level, I want you to That
is an awful thing to say, because what I'd rather
do is not paying attention to you whatsoever. The people
who do you know, like You'll see videos where like
someone's going up and escalator, someone's coming down an escalator.
Somebody reaches over and touches the other person. What's wrong

(21:15):
with you? You'll lose a hand, someone will grab somebody
else's phone. Why would you?

Speaker 5 (21:22):
It's funny.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
And then when they're caught, they're like, well, it's just
a prank. Woe, don't get so upset. No, no, no no.
Everything that happens to you at that moment is your
fault and you deserve it. You should start every video
by saying, if I should get punched so hard that
I lose teeth and maybe consciousness, I deserve it. That's
how these prank guys should start every day, not even

(21:46):
every video. You deserve it. You deserve every bit of
bad thing that happens to you. Other people should be
inconvenienced or physically abused because you see all types of
these things, or put into levels of stress so you
can get some clicks. By the way, if you're clicking
on this stuff, like actively searching it out if it's

(22:07):
in a feed, it's in a feed, you can then
you know, say I have no interest in this video.
If you're searching this stuff out, my god, what's wrong
with you? But people see it's like, oh, it's an
easy way to make some cash, and then they go
about doing it.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
So this guy, by the.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Way, he's got seventy eight thousand subscribers on YouTube, one
point two million on Instagram, and he had one point
six million on TikTok. That's a lot of people who
have to figure out how to read a book, get
a life.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
Or find a way to have sex with a woman.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Right, there are other things to be doing, and and
you should go figure that out. There are more enjoyable
things to be doing. Good God, that has a huge,
huge audience. And so they've done this at Target and
they've done this at other places. I only hope there's

(23:07):
a good twenty years in jail.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
I know, I know it won't be. It won't be,
But man, am I off base?

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Am I missing something? Right? This is a far cry
from when you would.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
Digging dong dash or.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Name something else that would happen in a more simple time. Right,
maybe if you were fourteen and you were doing this,
part of it could be understood. This guy is what
in his twenties. Yeah, jail, A lot of jail A

(23:51):
tremendous amount of jail. He's twenty one. Yeah, we'll see
him when he's forty one, and then when we let
him out, we'll be like Arba's seak. It was just
a prank. Gosh, boy can dream Kenny? That is Tara

(24:11):
Hastings of Wish TV. Tara, what are you doing on
August twenty third?

Speaker 3 (24:20):
I don't know. I need to consult my calendar. I
don't know what I'm doing.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
You need to save the date, Tara Hastings.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Do I need to put something on my calendar? What
am I going to be doing on August twenty third?

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Oh? Yeah, and something needs to be on your calendar?

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Okay, what is it?

might want to be listening.

Okay, all right, copy.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, bourbon is involved.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Oh well, I'm going to go find a sitter right now.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
That that is correct. That's accurate. Fine, Matt bar will
be busy that night, but you can find somebody else,
I'm sure. August twenty third announcement in forty five seconds
forty five seconds away.

Speaker 5 (25:10):
There it is.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
You have to take like a specific time frame here
of when you got to announce this.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
In forty five seconds. I just you know what now
thirty seconds?

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Now you can't come now, you can't come now, guys,
the announcement has been delayed because Tara is having a moment.
If I tell you it's going to be in forty
five seconds, that's the time frame. How can you ask
what the timeframe is if I tell you the timeframe?

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Oh no, like I'm patiently, patiently waiting.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Now you're just being rude.

Speaker 5 (25:50):
Yes, all right, you listen, I'm gonna go do this.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Okay, go do it.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Well, Taratt Hastings right there for still forty five seconds,
seventy four degrees and the American Standard Cooling Weather Center
the time is seven oh eight.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
August twenty third.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
That is the day. That is a Saturday night. First,
let me just say there was always a plan to
do a summer event. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning,
Good to be with him. There was always a plan
to do a summer event. But then I screwed up

(26:41):
the arm, which is, you know, in pretty good shape.
Now it's been months, and well that took a month out,
and it took planning out.

Speaker 5 (26:49):
And I was like, okay, maybe we won't do something.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
And then I had thought about an idea and I
had reached out to somebody about it and they were like,
oh yeah, that sounds like fun. Let's go do that.
I'm like, all right, Well, the question is going to
be where. And I look to the South Side. Places
didn't work out the way I want. Lovely places just
didn't work out. And I thought about the West Side

(27:11):
and it didn't work out. And you know, our last
event was in Cokemon. I'm not going back. It's Cokemo
for this one. Sorry. And then I had a conversation
with a distillery that has itself some very cool spots,
a very cool space, and I said, hey, what about
this for August twenty third, and everyone said, let's do

(27:32):
the thing. So let us.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
Do the thing, and.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Let's do it very very well.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
August twenty third, twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Myself, Nick Sercy from TV justified an IMDb that goes
a mile long, actor writer director his documentary on January sixth,
a conservative in Hollywood who moved to the Midwest because you.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
Cannot stay in La.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
It is one night, it is Bourbon, it is me.
It is Nick Cercy from La to the Midwest and

an absolutely unbelievable evening stories out of la stories about

(28:40):
getting out of La, his his investigative looks into January sixth,
and really learning how the machine works in so many
of these cases. It's going to be an incredible, incredible night.
Bourbon from west Fork Whiskey. That's where we will be,

(29:00):
West Fork Whiskey there in Westfield, and we'll have the
bourbon and oh oh yes, of course we will end
the night with some fantastic cigars. And I was asked
at the last event to make sure maybe I had
a if not everybody's a bourbon drinker, which I can appreciate,

grab your popcorn because there is more brought to you
by boor Remodeling.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
I came across I think this was out of the
Wall Street Journal about No, this wasn't about this. One
was not Wall Street Journal. This was over at News
Nation is Hollywood shifting to the right. That was an
interesting question to be asked because Trump has Hollywood and

(32:01):
and studios are shelving progressive storylines. Well, let's go through
this as rational people. No, I do not believe that
Hollywood is in any way trending to the right. I
believe these people are as progressive and ridiculous as ever.

(32:21):
I do believe that many of them have at least
accepted that the things that they do to move their
progressive ideology forward doesn't translate to success at a box office. Right,
you can give me all of the storylines. You added

(32:42):
this kind of character, and that's kind of character, and
oh they're using these pronouns and all that. But top
Gun Maverick is what people want to see. So the
people I don't believe have shifted in any such direction.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
It certainly could be seen.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
That there is an acceptance that there might be another
audience out there, and certainly that other audience, which is
an audience that doesn't want to be lectured to. I
don't even if they're politically right, they just don't want
to be lectured to. They're looking for other content. And
I want to be somebody who helps make that kind
of content. It doesn't have to be some flag waving thing.

(33:23):
It just just stop yelling at us already, stop being garbage.
You know, create good stories, don't create post stories. Right,
That's the story here, And I want to help people
make that content, whether it's Nick or anybody else. If
I can do that, I want to. That's I think
the next step my own evolution. So it was an

(33:44):
interesting story about whether or not that's actually happening. And
then came this post from Amy Walter of the Cook
Political Report, and it shows that younger men are shifting
to the right. Well, we've had this conversation. We saw
it in the election. We saw it in the data
of where people went, certainly the low propensity voter, which

(34:06):
is a Trump supporter, not a Republican supporter, which is
why we always discussed and if you were at the
event we did last November, the Republican Party has a
brand issue. Trump does not. And the brand issue is
that the Republican Party is not as strong as the
Trump brand, and so these people who voted for Trump
are not necessarily people who are going to vote for Republicans.

(34:28):
And we saw this in the senatorial elections in Nevada
and in Michigan and in Wisconsin. But if you take
a look at young men moving to the right, young women.

Speaker 5 (34:42):
Are also having a series of moves.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
So if you take a look at leaning right or
leaning left, women lean more to the political left than
do men.

Speaker 5 (34:57):
We see this time and again and again and again.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
So why is it that gen Z women are eleven
points more democratic than jen X women? What exactly is
happening there? How does this come to be? It's a
worthy question about what's happening with girls in the political sphere.

Speaker 5 (35:26):
I think we understand what's happening with guys.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
Guys have been told they're toxic, and guys have been
told they're sexist, and guys been told they're terrible, and
they're like, we're not terrible, and go to hell and
screw off, and we're gonna do our thing. And there's
no such thing as toxic masculinity. There's masculinity, which is
a good thing. Proving this is Molli Jong Fast, who

(35:50):
I consider to be what is the word I'm looking for?

Speaker 5 (35:53):
Not's bright.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
I think she wants to put on the air of intellectualism,
but she has never shed such a thing. I don't
care if she listens to this. I'm I'm not a fan.
I'm unimpressed. And she is a part of that MSNBC
morning show insanity that used to be, of course Morning Joe,
the intellectual morning show, and then they decided that wasn't fun.

Speaker 5 (36:15):
Let's have people like Bally John fast On.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
I do again, I really don't see a strength in
the mind there.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
And she comes around.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
With this pit, this bit of so called political acumen.

Speaker 7 (36:31):
He is going to the place where the voters are right.
The only way to get in front of Joe Rogan's
you know, millions, tens of millions and tens and tens
of millions of viewers is to go on his show,
and that I think is so important. The other thing
I would say about Joe Rogan is, you'll remember Joe
Rogan endorsed Bernie Sanders in twenty sixteen. The reason that

(36:55):
Trump was able to take this ground right, the podcaster
bro landscape, was because Democrats really seated it by not
going on in these spaces, and they made decisions about
why not to go into these spaces that may have
been the right decisions at the time, but now are
clearly not.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
How to run for office.

Speaker 7 (37:15):
You can't get in front of these voters any other way.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
But going on.

Speaker 7 (37:19):
These podcasts and maybe they're not maybe don't endorse all
of their theories and all of their beliefs, you still
have to go there because that's where the voters are.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
So the voters are all listening to people who don't
believe in toxic masculinity, who don't believe in pronouns. They're
all the voters are going to people where the conversations
are honest and they are not made to feel terrible
about themselves. Well, that should tell you something, That should
teach you something. Why is the voter there? And if

(37:49):
the voter is there, why does the left continue to
hate these people and attack these people and to mean
these people and insult these people. What's the win? What's
the value? You can't you just be you and not
insult these people. So does Hollywood? Has Hollywood moved right? Absolutely?

Speaker 7 (38:09):
Not?

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Are there some in Hollywood who aren't interested in insulting
those other guys? Yes, and maybe that's how you still
get some worthwhile movies made. But there's nothing about the
Democratic Party that has shown that they have shifted to
some level of rationality. Nor that they actually want to
go about reaching the voter that listens to Rogan or

(38:30):
anybody like that. They would rather shut that guy down
so that they might go on the podcast. That's not
the way to get the voter. The way you get
the voter is to have a message that resonates with
the voter. But at least maybe I should give her credit.
It's a recognition of where the voters are. And they

(38:53):
sure as hell ain't with pods Save America. Sorry, Tommy Vitur,
that's you're not the album of these guys are looking
for today on the marketplace. Just take my money. No, seriously,
this might happen. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning,

(39:16):
Good to be with you. During downtime, I'm clearing my head.
I'm getting ready for what to next on the show.
I find myself on the Facebook Marketplace. The Marketplace segment

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Stream over there at the YouTube's just go to ninety
three WIBC and subscribe. Producer Carlo is there as well.
He put himself in the center square because you know
it's all about him. Who Matt Bear? Matt Bear?

Speaker 5 (40:00):
Have I mentioned to you that I like the mid
century Modern?

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Look?

Speaker 4 (40:03):
Yes, you said the thousands of times.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Are you a fan of the mid century Modern?

Speaker 4 (40:07):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (40:07):
I am?

Speaker 4 (40:08):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (40:08):
What are you more fan like? What is your style?
What is your design aesthetic?

Speaker 2 (40:12):
I like something really urban. Is anybody familiar with the
term steampunk? Oh yeah, I like exposed piping, exposed things
like that.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
That's my thing. I like something with that kind of
aesthetic to it.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
We are very familiar with steampunk at WIBC. We have
all met Ethan Hatcher.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
You got of got the hat doesn't mean that you
mentioned it.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Saturdays on the Circle catch them every Saturday night, Ethan Hatcher.
If you're not listening, it's a fun, fun show. This
is a nineteen seventy sofa and chair set. It is wood,
it is yellow, It has the couch has the pattern.
The chair looks like you are Captain Kirk. And there

(40:56):
are two of these chairs. I'm telling you right now.
First of all, the sofa is eight oranges wide, two
matching chairs and one Ottoman smoke free home pick up only.
Are you looking at these things, Matt.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Bear, Yeah, I'm looking at them. They kind of look
like they're from the Overlook Hotel, you know, from.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
The Full Shining.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Yeah, it kind of looks like the Shining, you know,
room two thirty seven and everything.

Speaker 4 (41:22):
So, I mean, you know, women in the bathtub. I
dig the couch, man, I really do.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
And the recliner looks like it's it's too big, man,
that's a big butted chair.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
I mean, first of all, first of all, it's I
don't think it's a recliner. I think it's just a chair.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
Well, you throw it upside down. It's a recliner, man.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
That's not how it's not even science. Secondly, I'm pretty
sure you can't say big butted anymore.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
No, it's but what do you call it that? It's
a big button chair. It's one march butt, big button.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
I don't think it's allowed.

Speaker 5 (41:51):
But wide load is sorry.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Sorry, Okay, I don't want to get us knocked for that.

Speaker 5 (41:56):
That is a wide load chair.

Speaker 4 (41:58):
Is wide load? Yeah, it's acceptable.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
We're good. You know.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
It's it's a chair for a wide loaded butt.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Yeah, with the arms that spread out to the elbows right.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Up over the side. Basically what you're saying.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
Yeah, exactly what I'm saying. It's it's a nice look
at chair. I like the aesthetic. It's fun.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
But if you buy the couch, you got to buy
the chair with it so they match and that you
can put it all together.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
You know, you gotta have both, right, So it's it's
like this yellow, but it's also a little bit of gold.
It's also a touch of orange maize. And the fabric
has some motion to it. Uh.

Speaker 5 (42:32):
They're asking for the whole set. Five hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
That's not bad.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
That is not bad at all. You said five hundred
dollars for this whole thing, for.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
The whole thing.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
Non smoking, non smoking couch.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
Yeah, couches not smoke. No.

Speaker 5 (42:47):
And you find this and you find this in bluffing.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
Bluffing, I gotta drive the bluffin for this.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (42:55):
Actually they say they're located near burn.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Is that on the new interstate I sixty nine. Can
I get the bluff from that?

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Well? I think you got to take some side roads
after that, damn, and you got to have a password.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
You gotta pay the toll right coming soon.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
I just want to say, I do not think because
I have an oddly shaped house, I do not know
if I have room for an eighty four inch couch,
but I have room for those chairs. I'd man, I'm
this should happen in my life. You just have to
help me move it. You got to pick it up.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
I may not help you move it, but I I
really like this.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
I mean, the more I look at it, the more
I think it.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
I just don't want to drive the bluff in, and
I don't want to pay anybody to drive the bluff in.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
That's the only I would like to know who made it,
who the designer was. But stylistically absolutely perfect. If you
have I mean, I think you can put this in
a living room if you've got like or a side
sitting room, if you've got the basement. This works. It's exceptional.
It is if it's in any way comfortable. This is
coming home with me.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
Great for the big budded people.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, you can invite all the fat butts over.
No here, mother in law, We got this chair just
for you because rude. We thought you'd we thought you'd
think it pretty.

Speaker 4 (44:13):
What's wrong with you?

Speaker 1 (44:14):
What not?

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Me?

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (44:15):
Okay, my mother in law doesn't have a giant button, but.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
She's got a big ass.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (44:24):
Wow, Wow, that is not cool.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (44:33):
You couldn't just hold out, You couldn't just let it be.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Send your mail to Matt Baer at w ib C
dot com. My god, this is listed at w IBC
dot com. Everything we do for the marketplace is there.
This is a win. This is a win. I'm surprised
it's not sold already. Tony Katz ninety three w ib
C Good Morning, WI has a story about the Indianapolis

(45:03):
homeless responding to stereotypes and from the headline, I said,
I'm not quite sure I get the story. Tony Katz,
ninety three, WIBC, Good Morning, Good to be with you.
Of course, we have a homeless issue. We have this
area in your Fountain Square that is now going to
be cleared out by August eleventh. We have an issue

(45:23):
with homelessness. Issues that involve those who are down in
their luck issues that involve those who have addiction issues
and those who have mental illness. We can categorize them.
I'm sure there might be other categories, but at least
we know those three categories are legit. We understand what

(45:43):
they are. And it's a story about how the people
who are homeless want to change the stereotypes attached to them.
And so the news team and for Lindsay Eaton, the
comms director for the Secretary of State, we have a
news department and then we have commentary. And so when

(46:06):
you make the claim that commentary is news, you really
failed to understand what it is we are at WIBC,
or you're doing it purposefully. Your response to us regarding
our questions to the Secretary of State, Diego Morales, about
what we've ever done that is fake news was really
inappropriate and lacked professionalism. You should be really taking a

(46:29):
look at what you wrote us and asking yourself why
you did that. The Secretary of State should answer the question,
what is it that we have done that is fake news?
Not commentary? You don't like, what have we done that
is fake news? Now I put forward to you The
answer is nothing. You made it up. You're unwilling to
have the conversation. You're unwilling to honestly address the situation,

(46:51):
and you, Lindsey Eaton, made the Secretary of State look bad,
which is a really interesting thing because he does such
a good job of that all by himself. Your response
lacked the professionalism that we demand that Hoosier's should demand,
and you should really consider whether or not this is
the future. Producer, Carl, Email again, Email again. We want

(47:17):
an answer to the question what is WIBC done that
constitutes it being called fake news? Please provide specifics. She
did not provide specifics in her response to us. Carl,
I want to email out today. I want specifics from
Lindsay Eaton and from the Secretary of State Diego Morales.
If you're going to call us fake news, what specifically

(47:39):
are you referring to so it could be addressed. If
you're unwilling to give specifics, We're going to start calling
you very specific types of comments and we will be
accurate because you are inaccurate. So this is the opportunity
tell us exactly what we did that was fake Comms

(48:00):
Director Diego Morales, Secretary of State. The email is on
its way today. We expect a response, and not a
response that comes like four pm on a Friday, so
it gets dumped with the trash, which is how you
responded to us last time. Let's get back to the
homeless issue of Indianapolis. The story, as written by Ryan Hedrick, says,

(48:25):
quote from a woman named Tanya, who lives there in
this encampment, we're not just addicts or criminals. I know
it sounds crazy to some people, but I've got a calling.
I'm working on a degree to be a pastor. I'm
raising my kids the best I can, even here on
the streets. I would say to Tanya that I would

(48:48):
argue that the vast majority of people understand that that
could be happening. And I would also state that the
vast majority of people want to be helpful in that
situation because in a very selfish way. And I don't
mind selfishness. I think selfishness is very very important. People

(49:08):
acting in their best interests very often provide the best
interest for the group. If you're off the streets, if
you're in a home, apartment, however you want to call it,
we're better off, you're better off. It's a win win,
and what you're discussing is you're somebody who doesn't have
these other issues that make that kind of reality harder.

Speaker 5 (49:30):
We're not stereotyping you.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
We are recognizing that there are groups of people and
yes they do fall into certain characteristics.

Speaker 5 (49:37):
That's not a stereotype. That is factual.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
If we're talking about people who are mentally ill, or
talking about people who are drug addicted, that's not a stereotype.
And I would state that we shouldn't be afraid of
having that conversation because somehow it might offend. This is
not about offense. This is about recognition. We have to
engage reality. By the way, you're right your kids on
the streets. No part of that is easy. Why shouldn't

(50:03):
we as a city say we could do better here
for the people who actually can take the help, want
the help, and don't have these other issues one thousand percent.
Then the conversation discusses Ashley, I've been in and out
of violent relationships, and I've got three kids i haven't
seen in a long time. There's a Department of Child
Services case still open. Until that's settled, I can't be

(50:26):
with them.

Speaker 5 (50:28):
It's not that I don't care, it's that I'm stuck.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
I will I will say to you that I am
not a fan of DCS, and I absolutely believe that
there are levels of abuse, and there are levels of
beyond disrespect for parents, and it is ugly in many

(50:55):
the ways. You hear these stories about how families are
treated by child services. Somebody makes a claim and the
next thing you know, somebody else is guilty until proven innocent.

Speaker 5 (51:11):
It's it's it is horrific stuff.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
The state coming in and saying you're not the parent
in so many cases awful. I should recognize that we
want kids protected amazingly, we don't protect kids from parents
who say it's okay you can mutilate your body because
it's gender or firm and care. When you get to
that point, please let me know so I can applaud you.

(51:38):
I think you should read the article over there at
WWC dot com. I would just state that I don't
think that we're stereotyping. I think that what we're not
doing is engaging a large enough conversation to address the issue,
and certainly I don't have all the answers on solving it.

(51:58):
You know, I've discussed this as idea of public private
discuss the idea that the people who are just down
on their luck having a hard time but aren't mentally ill,
aren't engaged in drugs. There's a way to help those people.
That's the first line, and we should we should be
doing that to all the best of our ability. I
think that that is something we can get done, and
it probably is a public private way in there. I'm
sure there are things that are happening. Can you expand

(52:20):
on those things, et cetera. But to note that there
is a drug prominent least to homelessness homelessness, to note
that there is a mental illness prominent least to homelessness,
I think if we don't address those things, we're never
going to be able to deal with them. And so
I have to disagree that. I don't think we're stereotyping.

(52:41):
I think we're recognizing, and I think that's very important.
Catch the story WBC dot Com.

Speaker 5 (53:00):
If we could all I shouldn't say all, because it's
not us.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
If all the people enamored with Caitlin Clarks that could
just stop with the stalking, that would be great. There's
nothing that freaks me out or creeps me out more.
Stalking is very, very weird. God gets a two and
a half year sentence for a Level six fellon account

(53:25):
of stalking. This is a plea agreement with the Marion
County Prosecutor's Office. The maximum available for the charge pladed
guilty to Class B mistermeanor harassment one hundred and eighty
day sentence on the charts suspended and received one hundred
ninety seven days her time served, which means he will

(53:45):
serve less than two years of his sentence. Tony Katz
in ninety three WIBC, good morning, good to be with you.
I get it you like her, but there's no need
for you to be sending weird messages and threatening messages
and people have to change their entire routine. It is

(54:10):
just it is just nutty. And whether it's Caitlin Clark,
somebody in the public eye, or somebody who is your
neighbor talking, this is just it's some of the ugliest
stuff in the world, and it's scary how it's very
hard to deal with these kinds of things, So don't

(54:31):
stalk people. It's the best I can tell you. I'm
certainly happy for Caitlin Clark. I don't know. I've never
met Caitlin Clark. I just assume everybody on the Indiana
Fever listens to the show every day and then talks
about it during practice. I like to believe that part true.
I like to I do, I truly do. I only

(54:52):
hope she's all right and I hope this never happens
to her again.

Speaker 5 (54:55):
We're going to take a look at these trade deals.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Doctor Matt Will joins us from the University of Indianapolis. Economists.
Do they all add up to the wow factor that
everybody's giving them?

Speaker 5 (55:06):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC.

Speaker 6 (55:08):
Good morning, American consumer is plain and simple. Trump would
have you believe it's the biggest deal ever. Has his words, Dangley,
two hundred and fifty billion dollars of new energy purchases
and more in new investments. They're just one heatcup.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
It's fake.

Speaker 6 (55:26):
Even Today's Wall Street Journal has pierced this miasma of distortion.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
You know, every time you hear Chuck Schumer talk, you
have to wonder, my god.

Speaker 5 (55:40):
His staff has to hear that every day. That's rough,
very rough. Tony Kat's good to be with you.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Doctor Mattwell joins as economist at the University of Indianapolis.
Senator Schumer is talking about the trade deal with the EU.
It's fake, it's not real. Well, it's clearly real. The
question is how much of this stuff would have come anyway?
Deals on energy and deals on on buying military hardware.
Wasn't this going to be purchased no matter what? But

(56:10):
maybe the story here is that it got announced as
a deal, which certainly has put the European Union on
its heel, saying, my gosh, how could we have let
this happen with a tariff of fifteen percent of our
goods and no tariff on the vast majority of American goods.
But in the end, the question before us is what
do we get out of it? And how do we

(56:31):
know that it's happening? So let's start a doctor Matt Will,
economist at the University of Indianapolis. Where we start, which
is you hear about this story from the about this
trade deal with the EU. We've heard about other trade
deals as well, it's the UK or Japan, et cetera.

Speaker 5 (56:49):
What say you?

Speaker 8 (56:52):
Well, first of all, let's start with the terms. I
like what I'm hearing as far as the terms, and
we've been saying forever we just need clarity. We need certainty,
and we now know the framework. It's pretty much going
to be globally about a fifteen to twenty percent tariff
on all goods imported into the US. We're going to
have what we call trqs, which is tariff rate quotas.

(57:13):
That's what you just mentioned Tony about this. They're going
to buy all these things from US military hardware and
other things. That was maybe going to happen anyway, maybe not,
because what it does is it creates a zero for
zero tariff, meaning that no tariffs on stuff that goes
back or forth in that category, which makes our products

(57:33):
more competitive. Our energy will be cheaper, our military hardware
will be cheaper. They're not going to go to the UK,
They're not going to go someplace else. They're going to
buy it from US. So that's a really good thing.
And they've agreed to invest in the USA, So you know,
Schumer is completely wrong. There's a lot of good parts
to this, and the most important thing is Wall Street
loves that there's certainty. They now can say we can

(57:56):
move forward. We know what the terms are going to be.
That's the biggest issue so far is the uncertainty, and
now we have certainty.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
So this certainty is predicated on them actually buying from
the US right markets are are going to be open
and there for the first time. Is it that they're
going to be buying or does the certainty come from
fifteen to twenty percent that's the tariff right now. Everybody
can budget if you will from that place.

Speaker 8 (58:26):
It's both. It's both of those things. We know the
range to the tariffs. It's not going to be thirty five,
fifty two hundred percent it's going to be fifteen to
twenty percent against for everyone in the world. That's a
good thing, and it makes our goods cheaper. It's not
that they're guaranteed to buy these things, Tony, but when
you remove all the trade barriers and all the tariffs,
US goods are going to be more affordable. So yes,

(58:48):
they will buy these things. If you're looking around to
buy a gun, and you can buy a gun a
Burretta made in Italy or you can buy one made
in the US. And by the way, Bretta makesed guns
in the US, and the US made gun is cheaper.
That's that's what you're gonna buy.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
Talking to doctor Matt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis.
That might be true in, for example, the scenario that
you just laid forth, But we are saying that any
good you buy outside of something made in the US,
and not every good is made in.

Speaker 5 (59:19):
The US, it's going to be fifteen to twenty percent higher.
Just deal with it. This is coming correct.

Speaker 8 (59:27):
Oh yes, And in fact, you know I've been saying
with all the good parts of these deals, there are
bad parts. There are losers in this. The losers are
any company that's a net importer. The loser is anything
that's made with steel or aluminum, and the biggest loser
is you and I. We're going to pay a fifteen
percent tariff, Tony. Let me explain very clearly what that is.
That's a fifteen percent national sales tax. We've never had

(59:51):
that before. And people need to be ready because corporations
have been reporting earnings this week. They're not good, and
they've indicated they will pass allay their price increases. Stillant
has made a huge announcement yesterday about that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
Now, let's get into this, because this has been right.
You've got Bill Maher saying, I can't believe the tariffs
are working. A lot of people are talking very very
well about the tariffs. Trump was right about the tariffs.
The argument has been, in a very rational way, tariffs
tactic fine, tariffa's policy I oppose. But the tariffs have
not been passed through. And whether it's it's General Motors,

(01:00:25):
Toyota hosts people specifically on the auto manufacturing, they're not
passing the tariffs along, and the economics would dictate that
that cannot last for forever. Are you saying that the
dam is about to break and we're about to see
the price increases on the things we can't avoid spending on.

Speaker 8 (01:00:45):
Absolutely, and we've already seen it. Remember the last inflation
report we saw last week had an uptick inflation. Yet
today this week, okay, Stillant has announced a two point
sixty five billion dollar cut in or loss and they
warned we're going to increase car prices. Whirlpool they cut
their dividend by fifty percent, Tony, that has not happened

(01:01:07):
in decades. And they make eighty percent of their appliances
in the US, and they said they're going to have
to increase costs. Novo Nordis, Murk, they all cut guidance
these companies, Tony, You can't be a car maker and
lose money. So Lantas can't lose two and a half
billion dollars without increasing prices. You will see a price

(01:01:29):
increase just I don't know when, but it'll be soon.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
But with Stilantis, we should at least admit that they
have not done the job in making the vehicles they
needed to over the last five years. They will admit
to that. You had the massive fight between the dealers
and the CEO of Carlos I'm forgetting his last name
right now, where he eventually got pushed out because the

(01:01:54):
cars were not well made and they weren't getting the
backup at the dealerships, and he basically said to the dealers,
I'm in charge, You'll do what I tell you. So
there is a specific story there regarding maybe their own losses.
Those aren't not in every situation is the tariff the
reason for the loss?

Speaker 8 (01:02:13):
But Tony, you said it perfectly, and we talked about
this on one of your shows before. If we create
a tariff to protect a company like Stilantis or like Whirlpool,
does that make them a better company. Whirlpool's market share
went from forty two percent down to thirty two percent
last year. They had disastrous financial results reported this week,

(01:02:34):
and we're going to tariff to protect Whirlpool from competition.
We're going to tariff to protect the domestic stalantis when
they're a bad company. Tariffs aren't going to make a
bad company into a good company. It's just going to
make the pain prolonged.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
Talking to doctor Matt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis,
now we have these deals in place, everything to me,
all roads leads to a lead to what happens to
a deal with China. I had said, you need Japan,
you need Vietnam, you need South Korea, you need India,
you need those deals set until you see a pressure

(01:03:12):
point on China. But China has to be paying attention
to what it is they're seeing. Are they trying to
maneuver for a better deal, Are they trying to maneuver
for any deal? Or are they still full steam ahead
not worrying about what happens with the US.

Speaker 8 (01:03:28):
I think they're full steam ahead, Tony. But China is
Can I say, a very technical nerdy, a professional would stupid?

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
Ah?

Speaker 8 (01:03:39):
Yeah, that you might want to write that down and
look it up on Google. This we just found out
this week India now exports more apple products to the
United States than China. Their exports are up two hundred
and forty percent. I see the world shifting away from China.
We've talked about this on your show before, that India

(01:04:00):
is in Bangladesh and Vietnam, these other places are starting
to take China's business. So yeah, China, they're probably walking
along thinking everything's going to be fine, and they look
around and say, where'd all the businesses go?

Speaker 1 (01:04:15):
The the India being up as China responded to this
at all of they look to reducing the costs of
their of their production or anything else.

Speaker 8 (01:04:26):
No, No, that's that's That's why I call it pure stupidity.
They have not reacted to this. And really they're in
the cheap goods market. Other than making things like you know,
the iPhones and apple products, they mostly make the cheap
good products. They make the Chotsky's, they make the low,
low value items. So you know, they're just neander and
along getting eaten up by the competition. They're in a recession.

(01:04:49):
We all know this. I don't. I think China may
be a bystanderd.

Speaker 4 (01:04:53):
At the end of the.

Speaker 5 (01:04:54):
Day, we will discuss it further.

Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
Doctor Matt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis. Dr
Matt will Wil, Doctor Matt Will on the Twitter X
find him there. Time to fill up on the news.
Tony Katz at ninety three WIBC, Good morning, what is
going on? You've got doubt futures up fifty one NASDAK
futures up one oh three. Oil prices up sixty seven

(01:05:18):
dollars now on the West Texas crued coming out of
the ground, the Brent crud coming out of the oceans
seventy dollars thirty five cents a barrel of the ten
year treasury down a little bit at four point three
eight to two, not down enough to count. And as
we were discussing with doctor Will, Novo Nordisk, Novo, Nordsk,

(01:05:41):
not neurodisc Nordisk. Those shares are down because of a
cut on guidance. Everybody's expecting it. I get with them
what we're discussing with the economy. Everything else is gearing
up for something else taking place. I want I want

(01:06:02):
it to be wrong. I want I want everything to
work out. They're gearing up for what happens with tariffs
and other things to have an effect. Period. The data
says what the data says. And what's been amazing is
that so far the reality has kind of pushed the

(01:06:24):
the data to the side and said, yeah, we know
what you say, but aha, here we are. I just
don't I'm with doctor Willing this one. I don't think
it can last. I don't think it can. But I
do agree, and I thought that this was absolutely the
right message.

Speaker 5 (01:06:40):
It is certainty that leads to opportunity.

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
If I know what the rules are of any game,
I can play the game. Well. It's one of the
reasons that I so oppose Marxism, this whole idea of pronoun,
this whole pronoun ridiculousness. You don't use the prime pronoun.
You're not addressing me right, you're dead naming me all
this garbage. If you change the rules of the game
and people do not know how to act, you aren't

(01:07:03):
more free. You're actually less free by getting rid of
the rules, and by doing so, you put people on eggshells,
and therefore there's no actual movement. There's no way to
go forward, to grow, to build, There's only a collapse
that takes place. You need the rules of the road
in order to be able to know how to drive,
and then you can drive, you can get to where
you're going. So the certainty of saying, okay, tariffs are

(01:07:27):
going to fall in this range is all right. Now
I know what I'm dealing with. Now I know how
I have to price, how I have to order, how
I do a bunch of things. But much of this
is also predicated on the idea that you trust that
Trump is going to hold to it. He's been known
to change his mind. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:07:51):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
But yes, there have been companies cutting their expectations, are
saying this, there's a lot of things where it's just
not going to be as good as we thought. And
then there's the weirdest deal in the world. Because I
don't quite understand why it's so much and how the

(01:08:13):
deal works. I'm not an expert on trains. Union Pacific
is buying Norfolk Southern Train Company buying train company eighty
five billion dollars. It's going to be the first coast
to coast freight rail operator. Is it really ever in

(01:08:34):
the history of the country, how things move from point
A to point B. I wonder if there are those
in our government. Who are going to be like, well,
this is a this is a bit of a monopoly conversation,
isn't it that? Again? Who else is in the freaking

(01:08:55):
train business?

Speaker 5 (01:08:57):
Can you have a monopoly with nobody else?

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
Is interesting? And I should say at least from names
that we would know, because there could be others that
are interested. But this is it's gigantic, eighty five billion.
I guess I'm not paying attention to exactly how many
goods are coming across the nation by train, because one

(01:09:23):
has to assume that there's money in this, a whole
bunch of loot in this. That's an interesting that's an
interesting deal. And we've discussed before that, you know, odd
economic times are opportunities for for for some.

Speaker 5 (01:09:39):
I guess eighty five billion dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
Is an opportunity. Man, I need to get a better contract.
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning. You see you
did this because you're playing the end credits, So this
isn't really a theme song, is it? If you're playing

(01:10:01):
the end credits? But producer Carl, he's sneaky, He's a trickster.
Tony Katz, ninety three, WIBC, Good morning, It's time to
play America's favorite game. What the heck? What the heck?
Who he is? That television theme song? Here's how we
play our game. Producer Carl picks a television theme song

(01:10:22):
from yesteryear. I have to guess what it is, but
I'm telling you he went the reverse. There he went
with the end credits. Sometimes you have to right. But
I'll start by going down the usual road. I will
even if I know it, I will phone a friend,

(01:10:47):
Matt Bear.

Speaker 5 (01:10:48):
What is the television theme song?

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
I know the end credits to ThunderCats when I hear him, Tony,
that's right, ThunderCats?

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
Correct?

Speaker 5 (01:10:57):
That is that is correct?

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
Now?

Speaker 5 (01:11:00):
This is the theme to Mister Belvidere.

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
What is it? Mama's Family?

Speaker 5 (01:11:08):
It was Mama's Family.

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
Mama's Family. We've done mister Belvidere. Yeah, but I thought
it was the end credits. I thought it was the
end credits from from Belvidere because the same style.

Speaker 5 (01:11:21):
It's the same style I went with Belvidere. All right,
I've been.

Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
Played, I've been had, I've been flim flammed, I've been hornswaggled,
the whole thing. You can find all of our selections
of theme songs there at WBC dot com.

Speaker 5 (01:11:38):
We have a list.

and Julie Indiana Wish. People think it's part of Make
a Wish it is not, and they tell a great

(01:14:25):
story about how they got involved with this group that
helps kids in need in Indiana who are dealing with
serious medical issues and wanting to help them, and how
they were actually discussing issues they had with one organization
and they learned about Indiana Wish and become a massive

(01:14:48):
part of it. And they're getting honored at an event

more about the trade deals? And of course you have
this guy who wanted to go kill people in the

(01:17:02):
NFL headquarters. Why what was the rationale behind it? And
why did the press, specifically CNN say that this was
likely a white person when they didn't have any information
at the time, and then it turns out that this
killer is not not white. Why would you? Why does
it always have to be race first, race all the time,

(01:17:25):
which will bring us to the police chief in Cincinnati.
Oh do I have thoughts there. That's all coming up
on Tony Kats today at noon. I'll catch you that
