Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:13):
The waves hit Hawaii, and it could have been so
much worse. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning. It
was an eight point eight quake off the coast of
eastern Russia, sending tsunami warnings everywhere, of course, on the

(00:34):
Pacific Rim to Japan and other places.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Tsunami warnings in Hawaii last night.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Tsunami warnings hitting the West coast from California all the
way through British Columbia. They hit Hawaii I believe at
seven pm, seven to fourteen pm Hawaii standard time, but
rising water sure people were told to get the high ground.

(01:00):
Absolutely damage. That is not what we're hearing about, which
is good to know, and certainly more will be known.
They are six hours behind us, so more will be
known as the sun comes up, as it's just midnight,
just after midnight there or right now. I haven't done

(01:25):
the looking to see where it sits in history, but
I have never heard of an eight point eight. I
can't imagine the level of devastation if that had not
hit in the Pacific that.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Eight point eight.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
There was a nine point zero in Japan about ten
years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Was that the one that? So it was nine point zero.
Is that the one that hit that damage the nuclear
reactor in Fukushima. Yes, so is stronger the one and
not not buying, not much but enough. I just I
didn't realize it was a nine. This is big, absolutely,
And yes, these tsunami warnings are real because the actual

(02:04):
crush shifts and sow the water, and the a side
that it goes down, it sinks down, and what you
get on the other side is a wave that comes
because that water has to go somewhere. Right, the water
will fill the gap if you will, and that's the
tsunami waves. So if you've got your left hand, your
right hand up and you bring your right hand down,

(02:24):
call it a foot. Right, you bring your right hand down,
and that whole water level is coming down. Now this
water on the left, where does it go. It starts
filling in. That's where the tsunami comes from, and that
can devastate. Thrilled that it hasn't and everything seems like
it's going to be all right.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Craziness yesterday.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
There is still plans to reduce spending in the House
of Representatives. We will get that, but the rates are
probably gonna hold, which means Jerome Powell has no interest
in listening to anybody saying you should lose your job.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
He doesn't. He doesn't care if he loses his job.
It's just like I don't care.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
If Megan Kelly wants to go full Walter Cronkite, she can,
but I don't think the Israelis are gonna listen. And
when you're Megan Kelly and you find yourself on the
same side as Pod Save America, maybe we have to
ask ourselves a much different question. Hey, she's right about
a lot of things, just not this. It happens Tony

(03:25):
Kat's ninety three WIBC Good Morning.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Are we just bringing out the funk?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Oh? Is that what today is? All nineties alternative all
the time? Producer Carlo has been going into themes with
the bumper music. I didn't know what that was. I
thought that was maybe a little bit of a grunge
P funk collab right there. That was worthwhile Tony Kat's
ninety three WIBC Good Morning, Good to be with you.

(03:58):
I could tell the story of Corey Booker accusing Democrats
of being complicit in the Trump agenda.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
It ties into.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Something that the Obama Boys on their podcast Pod Save
America we're doing regarding Israel, which I will get into
as promised. Going in a lot of unique directions here,
and none of them seem good for Western civilization.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I will discuss it.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
But a very interesting story about something called pocket recisions,
which I knew nothing about. So the conversation has been
that the White House should be putting forth to the
House of Representatives to Congress recision packages, which is to say,
let us rescind spending that has already been appropriated and

(04:50):
now spend the money, save the money for the American people.
A lot of programs, a lot of plans that are
absolutely worthless that shouldn't get American dollars, shouldn't get our
tax dollars. They're ideologically inept or they're all together daft,
and we should say no. And we did a little
over nine billion dollars in the defund of NPR and
PBS and some other things which I favor. I don't

(05:14):
believe NPR should get a time of my money. Everybody
working at NPR right now, I wish them the best.
Go get sponsors, Go do the thing. Go put your
product on the air. I don't mind your product on
the air, even if I disagree with what you say.
I do mind the government funding your product as if
it's more important than our product. I want to say clearly,
I do not believe that to be the case at all.

(05:35):
I don't believe there is a single NPR host that
provides something on air that is somehow more important than
what I provide on air, that the federal government should
give them dollars to do it. If sponsors believe it, well,
that's completely different. That's the private sector. You go right ahead.
So these recision packages are about rescinding the spending that's

(05:58):
already been appropriated. Nine billion dollars isn't even a start.
It's just, hey, does this work. It's like when you
send yourself a test email. Yeah, So that's all it is.
We need to be doing hundreds of billions of dollars
in recision packages, and I'm bothered that it hasn't happened yet.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
So over there at zero Hedge, they're.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Discussing the idea of a pocket recision. This is a
concept that comes from Russ Vote, who is the runs
the Office of Management and Budget, who the political left
despises because you always need a boogeyman. So the strategy
goes like this. Within forty five days of the end
of the fiscal year, you can request and put in

(06:44):
this submit this proposal to cancel the previously appropriated funds.
If Congress doesn't act, the funds expire. Now, if you
didn't know, the federal budget calendar runs from October to September,
I don't know why. I someone has the answer, and

(07:05):
maybe I've never looked it up properly. I never asked.
That's how it runs. So you could in mid August,
let's call it August twenty fifth, I'm invented today. You
could put in these recision proposals for one hundred billion dollars,

(07:26):
two hundred billion dollars, four hundred and seventy two billion dollars,
pick a number, and then Congress doesn't have to act,
and by doing so, the decision will happen.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
It's a very very interesting way to do things.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Now.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I don't know if the House of the Senate are
going to go along.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
There's a real issue right now with the Senate confirming judges.
I don't know someone brought this up. I saw this
subject brought up last week. I do not know why
the Senate under John Thune is slow rolling judicial nominees.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
You've got two hundred and fifty five voted out of
committee to the full Senate for our confirmation vote. We've
confirmed one hundred and seven. And it's not just judicial,
it's ambassador's, cabinet, secretaries, a.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Whole bunch of things going on.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Why are these things not being confirmed? Well, you could
do recess appointments, right the Senate is in recess. The
President needs these positions to be able to do the
job under Article two.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
So boom, recess appointment.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
You're the new ambassador here, you're the new secretary of this,
the undersecretary of that. You're the guy who gets me diet, coax,
whatever it is you need Senate approval for done. So
there is this talk that Fune, the Senator from South
Dakota Senate majority leader who took over for Mitch McConnell,

(09:09):
is going to call the Senate into session every three
days for an hour. So therefore the Senate will not
be in recess, and therefore no recess appointments could take place.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
So I'm hearing about this rumor, and now I'm.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Seeing that, good lord, we're not getting these people confirmed.
Why is that? And for all the senators out there,
including the senators from Indiana, and since I know they
follow Google alerts, Jim Banks, Todd Young, Jim Banks Todd Young.
See now, hell, it's going to show up in their
email and I'm gonna get text messages and it's gonna

(09:50):
be joyous, very supportive of President Trump on this, that
and the other.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Why not this?

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Why aren't we very very public on this? I'm not
saying you don't you have a tweet somewhere, a post
on X. I'm saying, why aren't we very public about
this slow rolling of the confirmations? What in the world
is going on? And why is it going on? And then,
as as we discussed, we're supposed to find out about

(10:18):
interest rates today and whether or not the Federal Reserve
is going to cut any rates.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
It doesn't look like it.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
It looks like everything is going to remain unchanged for
the fifth straight meeting. Trump is going to lose his mind.
People are going to be angry too late Powell. There's
going to be name calling, It's gonna be there's yeah,
it's gonna get rough and humble. Will Trump fire him?

(10:49):
I think I said this the other day. No, No,
I haven't changed fifty to fifty. I have no idea.
Maybe yes, maybe no, no clue none less than none.
And if you say to me, well, the odds gets
stronger if they do this, I don't know. I don't know.

(11:11):
Maybe you've got specific FED presidents of specific cities who
will say things, But I just don't think you're moving
Jeron Powell on this subject. Now, could he surprise and
we have a quarter point reduction just to see what happens? Absolutely,
the problem is if he does a quarter point, he

(11:31):
gets screamed at even louder for not doing enough. Now
you're willing to do this, why not do this? I
mean Trump would take two points. He's not going to
get two points, but Trump would take two points. But
I'm still of the of the belief that don't expect it,

(11:54):
don't expect the rate cut to come. And this it
has another story, another angle to look at. You know,
we have seen that credit card debt is getting paid off.
That doesn't mean that there isn't still a massive credit
card debt, record high credit card debt. It's just fascinating
that's getting paid off. And you wonder how long this

(12:14):
can last, the economy is so much better than I
think that people are paying off their debt. The tariffs
so have no effect on anything, that cash is just everywhere.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Well that's not the case.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
However, things are certainly better than people thought they would be,
which is very interesting stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
So people are.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Paying off credit card debt, but credit card debt is
still at incredible highs News Nation with the story Underwater
car loans hit their highest level in four years. The
average amount owed on loans as people were trading in
cars sixty seven hundred dollars, and average monthly payments have
increased to nine hundred and fifteen bucks. I don't know

(13:00):
what it says when people are underwater on their vehicles
and what that means to how the economy is going.
But if you want to tell me everything is great
because of the deals made, I'll tell you that I
want the deals to be successful. I'm just staring at
this stuff. This stuff doesn't sound like everything is great.

(13:22):
This stuff doesn't sound like lowering interest rates is going
to make it better. Rather, we'll flood more cash in
and we'll bring inflation back, and we're already having this issue.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Maybe they're two separate things.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Right now. I don't have a good answer for you.
I'm just trying to better make sure I've got all
the data to try and figure it out. Sometimes people
lose their minds, and sometimes they decide to do away
with long term relationships.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
To take a step down now, and they get broken.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
They somehow think they're going to do betterly, somehow think
they are better, and they lose sense to themselves themselves.
This happened with your friends. You've seen this before. Tony
Katz ninety three WIBC, Good Morning. Find everything I do
at Tony Katz dot com. I'd appreciate it if you'd
stop on bot. But nothing says completely broken, nothing says

(14:16):
stepping down like Katy Perry.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
That's right, I'm doing a Katy Perry story. What's it
to you?

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Out to dinner? I can't make this up with Justin
Trudeau exactly. She breaks up with Orlando Bloom of course. Uh,
Justin Shrudeau divorces his wife because.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Would you stay married to that?

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Just one man's take My gosh, my gosh. Some people
make big mistakes and now they're seen having dinner together
her as she is touring Canada. That's a step down, right,
Orlando Bloom to Justin Trudeaux. From a guy who played

(15:12):
an elf to a guy who played a prime minister,
step down, step down. Absolutely, at least the elves can
walk on snow. I seem to know a lot about elves.
Not necessarily proud of that, but good gosh, how is

(15:36):
it remotely possible?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
How do the absolutely worst people?

Speaker 1 (15:42):
And by the way, Katy Perry, remember when she was
an astronaut, that was good. Remember remember when Justin Shrudeau
is in blackface twice? Oh oh, that was that was
good times, good time. Maybe both living in make believe
they deserve each other.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Goodness that that I'm not. That's a step down, right
that that.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
I got to go from the friend of Strider to
the son of Fidel Castro, stepped down? Step no too soon, Nah,
I'm good with it. It's fine. Tony Katz ninety three
w ib C, Good Morning, The New York Times Pod
Save America, Megan Kelly, Yeah, I said what I said,

(16:36):
Megan Kelly, going full Walter Cronkite on Israel. This war
has lost you lost the international community win in the
world did they ever have? And it's a it's a
miss from from Megan Kelly and oh, I don't expect
any reaction, but honesty requires not being concerned about whether
or not the reaction comes. Tony Katz ninety three w IBC,

(16:59):
Good morning, Good to be with you. Gross stuff as
I see it from the New York Times. They're lying
pod Save America, pretending somehow the Democratic Party isn't what
it is, and Meghan Kelly making a very large scale
mistake on Israel's future and really ours. I will get
into that story at seven forty five, and I'll explain

(17:20):
why at that time.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Meanwhile, you have got August twenty third.

Speaker 1 (17:27):

and we will get you all set up. It's gonna
be an incredible, incredible night. You're gonna you are gonna
have a world class time and your insights, You're gonna laugh.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
It's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Terrific In New York. The only things we've learned more
about this shooter who was trying to harm people who
worked for the NFL. He thought he had CTE. He
didn't play Pro football, mind you, that didn't happen, but
he blamed the NFL. He went to New York driving

(19:05):
from Los Angele from Nevada, sorry, from Las Vegas, kills
a cop, kills three others, takes his own life, and
now you have the governor Kathy Hokel calling for a
nationwide band on assault weapons as predictable as can be.

(19:27):
The ignorant and the lame on the political left move
about being ignorant and lame. You already had all the
gun laws in the world in New York and it
didn't stop this. You can't do more, By the way,
wait till we try and to find assault weapon as
this guy used in AR fifteen. But she doesn't know,

(19:49):
and she doesn't care, and she is fine with the ignorance.
She's fine with it. These people don't actually care. There's
no value here. There's no discussion of society. There's no
discussion of this guy being known to a Las Vegas
law enforcement.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Why was not more done there when he left town?

Speaker 1 (20:13):
How did nobody know and say, hey, this guy left town,
be on the lookout. I don't know if it would
have helped, but maybe it could have helped. What's the
point of keeping an eye on somebody? Maybe if more
people actually had firearms in New York, this guy would

(20:33):
have been stopped. Because all your gun laws haven't stopped
the killings. You think it's a gun law conversation right
here in Indianapolis, when IMPD officers are shot, do you
think that's about guns or is that about culture? I
would ask the people of Indianapolis, the civic leaders and

(20:56):
the elected leaders, but we know we're not gonna get
any answers because we don't get answers from those people.
We don't get answers from the people with their names
high on the buildings. I don't know why not. I
don't know why you don't speak out. I don't know
why you don't speak up, but you don't. And you
know who you are, whether your company named rhymes with

(21:18):
Lily or Simon or Emis or Cummings or oh, I'm sorry,
I'm I mean rhymes. We want to hear from you.
We want the backup, we want the help. We want
a better city. We want to embolden leaders to do
things that have value and to speak out against this

(21:42):
violence and to speak out against what happens when you
think someone slighted you.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
The answer isn't go shoot them.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
You were lied to as a kid, you are lied
to as an adult. We need to change that mindset.
It has to be changed. That takes leadership. I don't
know where it is, but it isn't in our elected
officials at all. And it's not in Kathy Hockle, the

(22:12):
immediate push to gun control. It's so predictable, so incredibly predictable. Meanwhile,
charges have come against well, I should say charges on
that case. I actually want to move stories. Charges have

(22:36):
come in the case in Cincinnati, which I will get into,
where of course you had a mob attacking a man
and a woman, and of course it was racial because
the mob was black and the people attacked were white.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
No, not, Rachel.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Seems to me that if it was the other way,
that's all we'd be hearing about. That's all we would
be discussing. But two people have been charged. I am
surprised it's only two. And I also heard that they

(23:12):
were already out on bond. These people should be in
jail for forever. How is it possible they're out on bond.
How is it possible? You have a police chief in
Cincinnati who is like you all watch this video of
these people being attacked. And that's the problem because the
video doesn't tell the whole story. The guy got kicked

(23:34):
in the face what four times? I think it tells
the whole story. This wasn't a response video, This was
an attack caught on video. The video doesn't tell the
whole story, now it does. You, as the chief of
police there in Cincinnati, are just weak and you refuse,
refuse to say they were wrong because even though the

(23:59):
attack clearly is rachel, you've decided that you shouldn't talk
about it because of race, which is racial man.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
And this is why people drink bourbon. So an officer

(24:39):
was shot.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
The story at WIBC dot com i MP the officers
shot at least three times in a confrontation on the
west side. One suspect was also shot. Three taken into
custody Tony CA. That's ninety three WIBC, good morning.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Good to be with you.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
As an IMPD North District officer in a fully marked
car activated emergency lights to stop the vehicle. Four suspects
were in the vehicle. One male passenger immediately ran from
the vehicle, two others exited the vehicle. As reported by
WIBC a quote from IMPD Assistant Chief Michael Wally, one
of those passengers walked around to the front of the

(25:26):
vehicle began firing in the direction of the officer. The
IMPD officer was struck by gunfire at least three times
returned fire resulting in an officer involved shooting, and you've
got you know, Chief Bailey saying, when does this stop?
Same questions asked, when, at what moment do we see

(25:50):
this city discussing this, talking about this, and can we
discuss the damage done by years of the defund the police?
The cops did this. The cops are always guilty. The
cops are always the problem. They're not always the problem.
Sometimes they do wrong and we should be aggressive about

(26:12):
that every day. No, no, no, no, no, no, that's
just not the case. It is the fourth IMPD shooting
of twenty twenty five, the second this month. There were
seventeen that took place in twenty twenty four, so let's

(26:35):
have less. I'd be very very happy to see that.
As for this, we're just going to be like, okay,
just another day in the office, because it's not another
day at the office. I saw that Prime forty seven
was going to open up in Fishers where this event
center is going. We do love a steakhouse here, So

(27:00):
there is this development that's going across from the Fishers
Events Center. It's going to be a ten thousand square
foot restaurant and it will be a steakhouse similar to
Prime forty seven. So you've got one in clay Terrace.
Isn't there one downtown? I think there's a I think

(27:22):
there's a clay Terrace downtown. Now clay tyras a Prime
forty seven downtown as well. Yeah, you're right there on Maryland's.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Isn't it that where it is?

Speaker 1 (27:30):
I think so. So the more the merrier if we
believe that Central and Deiana can can support these things.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm all in. But I received an email or a text,
I've now a text, a.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Tweet, good Lord Tony that I've got the Cincinnati story
all wrong. These people who were attacked, and the mob
and the racial you got it all wrong. There's video
out there that proves that these people were the instigators.
I said, can you send me some video? And they're like,
oh no, you got a it for yourself, all right.
I was just asking for the help, man. But sure,
I've got a story wrong. I'll tell you I got
a story wrong. I haven't found it yet, but if

(28:10):
anybody has any video regarding Cincinnati, regarding the attacks that
took place on these two people that I say are
a racial based on the video I have seen Tony
Tony kats dot com sender my way. It'd be great.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
I'd appreciate it, appreciate the help.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
I haven't seen anything that shows that these people were
the aggressors. But if it's out there, my gosh, I'll
want to see it. If it's not out there, if
it can't be easily found, well, then that in and
of itself is another story. Tony Katz ninety three, WIBC,

It is the story you need to hear to believe.
Then grab your popcorn because there is more now For
those of you who listened to Tony Kats today yesterday,
which is all of you. I shared this story yesterday.
I thought it was worthy of a bit of repeat.

(30:33):
It's not the only thing I've got for the popcorn moment,
but it goes down the line of what happens when
there's nothing else to say. I get that there have
been a lot of people who take a look at
everything regarding Jeffrey Epstein, the Epstein files, and they say, oh,
look at the Republicans. Ah, they're protecting pedophiles. A really
gross thing to say from the Democrats. But I at

(30:56):
this stage really expect nothing less. It's all we've seen.
But it is so obvious to all of us that
even if we don't want to talk about these things
that we're exhausted by, let's say this story. Those in
the political right who want the files want to know
what happened to children, who was abusing children and want
them brought to justice. That's obvious. That's very obvious. And

(31:21):
it's very obvious that the people on the political left
want the files so they can do harm to Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
That's all they care about.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
There's a real difference here in the motivation, and I
think that difference needs to be elaborated on and discussed.
And part of the going after Trump is part of
the playbook when you have nothing else to offer. There

(31:50):
is no Democrat in the state of Indiana offering something
up outside of a national playbook of attack, attack, attack.
We saw this in the mayor race when Miles Nelson
ran against Suffinkham in Carmel and was taking advice from
the reprehensible ron Klam Ron Klain, who was trying to
convince people that Joe Biden was just fine his former

(32:13):
chief of staff. They not so much pride of North Central,
I mean obscene. And we discussed that race and how
ridiculous it was because it wasn't about Carmel, it was
about national referendum on lefty insanity. Joe hog Set runs
from mayor of Indianapolis and runs on what abortion rights. Like,

(32:38):
the mayor of Indianapolis has anything to do with this.
They can't plow a street, but they could somehow convince
people in Indie that Joe hog Set is going to
ensure that you can have an abortion. It's just too
weird for words. It's why people so many people have
thrown in the towel in Indianapolis politics in that they

(32:58):
feel like the people aren't paying attention to what needs
to be paid attention to. You can be so easily
moved with this national nonsense until Indiana Democrats focus on Indiana.
There there's nothing they're ever going to win. And I
would advise Indiana Republicans to do the same, and you
have the super majority.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Be bold already you screwed up property taxes.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
You attacked business owners with this raising of taxes on cigars.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
You did what you did, You did this.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Republicans don't even look at me askew my goodness, what failure?
Think bigger, be bold. You got the super majority, Use
it because if you don't.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Use it, you're you should lose it.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
We'll take majority, not super majority. Maybe to make your
work harder.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Who knows. But it's the same old, same old on
the playbook.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
This was Chuck Schumer yesterday in front of the Capitol.
The volumes a little bit low. I've got it up
as much as I can listen. Well, that's not going
to help you.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
I should do this much better.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
It's been clear when we fight for democracy, when we
protect democracy, we got to fight fire with fire. We're
not going to stand idly by, as Maya said, we're
not going to let them revert to Jim Crone. If
you don't think they want to revert to Jim Crow,
just look what they did in the Save Act, which
went back to Kim Crow for the whole nation by

(34:30):
so making it hard. They said you need ID, and
they made it so hard to show ID that probably
half the people in America couldn't vote, we wouldn't let
it pass Democrats, they needed our vote.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
They went to court.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
Many of us Durban, myself and others will lead plaintiffs,
and we beat him in court. But it shows why
we need legislation because these guys are undoing everything in
every way they can.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
They don't want poor people to vote, they don't want
people of color to vote, they don't want Democrats to vote.
They don't believe in democracy.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
We do. I'm okay with Democrats not voting.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
The Save Act, by the way, safeguard the American voter eligibility.
That is Chuck Schumer, leader of the Democrats, once again
saying that showing a voter ID is Jim Crow. This
is exactly what they said in Georgia about the voter

(35:36):
laws that were changed. They forced Major League Baseball to
move the All Star Game out and this year the
All Star Game was back in Atlanta because all of
that was a lie. And with these new laws, more
people showed up to vote. They're still doing it to
have nothing, I mean, absolutely nothing to offer to go

(36:00):
down this road.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
It's kind of stunning to watch.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
What is more, I think horrifying is that there are
people who buy into this. They don't know what Jim
Crow is. They just know, oh Jim Crow South slavery bad.
They don't know what it is, and they don't know
why Chuck Schumer so disconnected from reality, absolutely disconnected.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
They don't have anything new, they don't have anything to offer.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
They just believe that these words, that these lies, that this.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Fraud can somehow get them people.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
I argue that we have to keep pushing back against
these things for fear that our own loved ones might
believe it. Your kids, your grandkids, your niece, your nephew, etc.
These people are frauds. If they would engage in an
actual subject that we could agree you disagree on, that
would be great. This this is all fear mongering crap,

(37:07):
and sadly we have to keep saying so. And sadly
they aren't even trying to be better today on the marketplace.
Where am I gonna put this thing? I mean, I
guess I could just leave it in the garage. You
can always use an extra one in the garage. But
I just I don't know where I'm gonna put it.

(37:29):
If it's going in the house. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC.
Good morning, good to be with you during downtime, clear
my head, getting ready for what's next on the show.
I find myself on Facebook marketplace. Cool stuff on stup,
weird stub, strange up, interesting stuff. I've bought stuff, I
have sold stuff all there on the marketplace. Capitalism is good,
Communism sucks. The marketplace is the place to be. The

(37:49):
whole segment brought to you by Indiana Unclaimed dot Gov.
It's your cash. It's waiting for you. The Attorney General
has it. Don't let them keep it.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Go get it.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Go to Indiana Unclaimed dot gov and get your cash.
Use my name Tony and text that to four six
two two zero. Text Tony to four six two two
zero to find out how easy it is for you
to get your money that's actually waiting for you. Matt
Bear in your fine apartment. There By the way, Matt

(38:18):
Bear has joined the chat. Matt Bear is part of
the live stream on YouTube and is now in the
chat room. This is your chance to talk to Matthew
Horatio Bear.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Yes, hi, everybody, Matt. The question is.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Do you have in your apartment, in your bachelor pad,
in your in your sexy shanty. I don't know. Do
you have a refrigerator? Yes, I do, and it works.
Any chance it is covered in skulls.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
No where can I find that, Tony Well?

Speaker 1 (38:53):
I found it on the marketplace. This is an Emerson
custom vinyl wrap skull refrigerator used like new condition.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Oh this is cool.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
It is a full size refrigerator with the water dispenser
and they put a wrap on it of skulls. I
mean it looks a little Alexander McQueen. I'm not quite
sure what's going on.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
And the skulls have have like a rose or flour
in the mouth. It's insane. This is amazing. I love it.

Speaker 6 (39:24):
I would put it in my apartment, at my house,
my attic den wherever. It's just it's black and white
and it has skulls all over it.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
You know.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
It has a little ice maker there in the middle.
But this is really cool. I'd put this in my
living room and show everybody. This will be a centerpiece
of the apartment.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
So the refrigerator is white clearly, and then the handles
are white and everything else, and then the ice dispenser.
But yeah, it's just sitting there and it's covered in skulls.
They say it's in Marion, Indiana. So we're gonna take
a little bit of drive. We're gonna need a truck,
maybe some strong people. Maybe we're gonna need a winch.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
And it's it's one hundred and fifty dollars. I'm in.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
I am so am.

Speaker 6 (40:03):
This is cheaper than a regular refrigerator if you open
a refrigerator because it's covered in skulls, are actual skulls
inside it on purchase, so you're gonna have to clean
those out right.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
First you see the dirty refrigerator, then you die.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Let's see, and.

Speaker 6 (40:18):
The water dispenser dispenses blood there.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
That would be cool made by the shining well. I'm honestly,
this thing is fantastic. It was listed four weeks ago.
I don't know how this isn't purchase for somebody's garagejet.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
I would try to marry in for this. I would
put this in a new apartment.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
Absolutely, it's a side by side.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
I gotta tell you, it's cool, it's good, and if
it works, it's a deal bonus.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
It's a deal. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (40:50):
Otherwise it's just covered space, and who needs more of that?
I think it's really cool. I'm definitely in four hundred
and fifty dollars if everything's running as the ice maker.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
This is a full fridge, and I mean it's listen.

Speaker 6 (41:02):
If you're living in Carmel in the suburbs or something,
you're probably getting one of those refrigerators that takes up
the entire kitchen. But something like this is imperfect for
a one bedroom apartment or like say, a college flat.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
Would you just go into college?

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Right?

Speaker 3 (41:14):
Well, maybe not that.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
If you have an apartment not not a dorm, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
Part yeah, I gotta gut carried away there.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
It's good.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
You should get one. Guys. This is available on the marketplace.
Check it out for yourself. Everything with the marketplace is
listed at WIBC dot com. Check it out there, and
don't forget to get into the chat YouTube dot com,
slash ninety three WIBC and Matt Bear will talk to
you now, Ronny Cats.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Maybe not ninety three WIBC. Good morning.

Speaker 7 (41:40):
It should take money from apex or vote to fund
military support for Israel anymore? Like, I really don't in
this government, absolutely not, and that especially includes I think
the next Democratic nominee for president.

Speaker 8 (41:51):
Things I want to see Democrats at least calling for
is cutting off military systmto Israel. It's a rich country.
By the way, they don't need our three billion a
year and hands up right back. Obama signed a ten
year MoU for three point three million year like, so
we're part of the problem here. What's correct it. I
would like to see talk about sanctioning Israeli government officials
who use genocidal rhetoric or who talk about ethnic cleansing openly.
We should support a ceasefire resolution at the UN. We

(42:11):
should demand that international press be allowed into the Gaza
strip to report on what's happening without an IDF minder.
It's insane the press still can't go with the Gaza
and cover what's happening. And also think like there has
to be a total mindset change in the Democratic Party
when the war ends. We are not going back to
the pre October seventh status quo.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Good news, Tommy Vitsur, you already have it.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
You already have a change from the Democrats where they
are absolutely in favor of Hamas.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
And this is my argument, they favor Hamas.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
You take a look at the United Kingdom saying we're
going to recognize a palace Indian state that is rewarding
Hamas for a terrorist attack. That's what you're doing. That's
who you are as I see it. That's your take.
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Good to be with you. I apologize to no one.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
No one. You want to put an end to far
and eighth, that's fine by me. I think you can
vote for that and be supportive of that. And Tommy
Vitty is gonna find a lot of friends in Tucker
Carlson and Dave Smith and Candice Owens. Oh yeah, they're
all going to be hanging out together drinking. I don't
know what it is they would drink, but there they're
going to be. If you want to support that, I'm

(43:24):
not going to tell you not to. If you're gonna
vote for you. If you want to vote for that,
that's fine. But if you want to somehow make a
claim that we're not going back to a pre October seventh,
what is pre October seventh? Just monthly and yearly terrorist
attacks in Israel does nothing. It doesn't even make any sense.

(43:46):
It makes perfect sense that the New York Times lied,
because of course the New York Times lied. What did
the New York Times lie about They lied about starvation.
This has been in the big claim Israel is starving
the people of Goza. Look at what they're doing. This
is the worst. And President Trump has even gotten into

(44:08):
this conversation. He thinks that people are starving, but he's
not willing to recognize a Palestinian state because that's rewarding
Hamas and he won't do that. Good on President Trump.
He's not as weak, well, I shouldn't say not as weak.
He's not weak like Keir Starmer of the UK, like
Emmanuel Macron of France, weak, pathetic, low people like Jesse

(44:32):
Brown here in Indianapolis, like Jewish Voice for Peace, they're not.
They're barely Jews in my view, although they can call
themselves Jewish, and they certainly don't believe in peace. They
believe in destruction. Answer and all these other socialist groups.
What did the New York Times do?

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Though?

Speaker 1 (44:49):
New York Times published a story where they put on
their front page a child who is starving, malnourished in
his mother's arms. You could see the bones on the child.
It's awful, it is horrific. And they said that this
child was diagnosed with severe malnutrition.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
They showed pictures where you could see this boy's ribs.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
It's horrifying, and they wrote on social media, we recently
ran a story about Goza's most vulnerable civilians, including an
eighteen month old and suffers from severe malnutrition. They continued,
We have since learned new information, including from the hospital

(45:39):
that treated him in his medical records, and have updated
our story to add context about his pre existing health problems,
which they would have known if they had seen the
larger photo of his what seems to be his brother
next to him, imperfect health. Let me translate. The New
York Times knew they were lying. They knew they were

(46:00):
cropping an image and posting it as pure propaganda to
provide help to Hamas. What else do you expect from
the Democratic Party? Tommy Vitour, one of the pods save
America guys, and Obama bro? What else do you expect?
This is who you are. I believe that Hamas has

(46:24):
to be destroyed. I believe war as hell. I understand
as fact that Hamas started this. I understand that Hamas
has always started this, and I believe in their full
on destruction so an actual piece can occur and for
this idea that Palestindians don't have a homeland, they don't
have a place to their own. They had Gaza, and

(46:46):
then they voted for a terrorist organization to run them
and the rest, as they say, is history. But I
was surprised to see this from Megan Kelly.

Speaker 9 (46:56):
I'm always reluctant to put too much stock any images
coming out of Gaza that phrase, because they're manipulated and
their masters of propaganda, and they're fine having their own
children starve just as long as they can put them
on camera and show them off to the world. That's
humas and frankly, it's a lot of Palestinians. So I'm
very skeptical of taking those images at face value and

(47:16):
saying it's Israel's fault.

Speaker 10 (47:17):
Having said that it's time, it's time now. Israel, whether
it realizes it or not, has made itself the villain
of the world in letting this thing go on so long.
They have lost support amongst their dearest friends, and even
the entire Democrat Party here in the United States has
turned against them, and they're losing Republicans by the day

(47:40):
here in America, which is their most important ally. So
whether the fight continues to be just or not is
almost irrelevant. As Trump said when he was running this
time last year, not yet elected.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Time to wrap it up.

Speaker 10 (47:52):
And that's how I feel too, And I well.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
I'm glad that's how you feel, but it's not how
the Israelis feel. And the loss of support, I would argue,
is support that ever actually existed. And if you want
to tell me that they're vilified or hated by the world,
I don't know where you've been, Meghan, but that's been
the case since October seventh, since before October seventh, and
since October eighth. Did you think that there was this

(48:15):
world community coming to give Israel a hug? It never happened.
It never happened for Jews in America. They only got
vilified and attacked. It never happened for Israel. What exactly
are you referring to here, Megan? I think you're missing
a much larger conversation. Has this gone on longer than
any of us would like? Absolutely, because we would much
rather that Hamas was already destroyed, but they're not. Maybe

(48:38):
it's because they didn't go in strong enough in the beginning,
worried about what the world might think. I don't think
Israel is concerned anymore about what the world thinks. I
think they're going to try and end the terrorist threat
and keep their survival. And I think it takes a
strong hand to be supportive, and I think time to

(48:58):
wrap it up is not the proper statement. Put you
in league with the Podsave America, Obama, Bros. And I
don't think that's where you actually want to be.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
It was an eight point eight on the.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Richter scale off the coast of Russia, the eastern side
of Russia. Tsunami warnings in Hawaii, tsunami warnings and watches
for the West coast the whole of California up to
Oregon and Washington into British Columbia. Those tsunamis did not
manifest with viciousness. Certainly, there are some things we won't

(49:47):
know about Hawaii until the sunlight, but we're not getting
reports of levels of devastation, and I'm thankful about it,
and you should be. Two. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC,
Good morning. It's a large scale quake. It's a big, big,
big number, and the damage we don't know yet to

(50:10):
places like Japan, Korean Peninsula, et cetera in terms of
what they may have felt from this. But the tsunami
was coming in our direction, right, You're talking about an
earthquake where part of the called Earth's crust is dipping down. Right,
plates are moving on top of each other. I mean
something comes underneath, which means one plate goes down, so

(50:31):
the water level goes down, the other water level. Well,
the water is going to go somewhere, and then that's
what creates the wave and it will move quite literally
across the earth.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
And those waves.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
Can get very very high because you have this rush
of water on top of existing water. It has to
go somewhere. That's what happens. That is the concern. In Hawaii,
the sirens went off, having people move the higher ground.
It hit at about seven to fourteen pm. Was the
s made a time, a Hawaii time. Remember they are

(51:02):
six hours behind us. But so far everything seems to
be quite all right there. We'll see what any level
of damage is, whether it be in in Hawaii or
along the coast there in Russia, Japan, some of our allies.
We'll see how that goes. And yes, a lot of

(51:24):
people discussing the contract extension for Bernard Raymond. I'm sorry,
said Bernard Bernhard, sorry, my apologies, sir. And how he
signed a four year contract extension as an offensive lineman
with the Colts, one of the highest paid left tackles

(51:46):
in the league, and the contract, which some say is
one hundred million dollars, sixty million of which is guaranteed.
The question is who is he going to be protecting
back there? And from everything that I am seeing, it's

(52:07):
that Anthony Richardson started out in a very very bad
way and has gotten better as the days have gone on.
I have no idea whether or not he's going to
be the starter. Nothing will surprise me, nothing will shock me.

(52:30):
If you told me that Daniel Jones was going to
be the starter, I would believe it, absolutely believe it.
Anthony Richardson might just need more time physical phenom absolutely
gets injured too easily. Possibly that's up to uh More
football guys to decide. But is there any question that

(52:54):
this isn't finished that they don't know?

Speaker 2 (52:57):
I don't think there's any question. I'm saying and they
don't know.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
I'm not saying they're looking at Riley Leonard, although that
would be super cool. I'm saying that I do not
believe that it is a lock that Anthony Richardson is
the starter.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
I said this as training camp started. I say it.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Now, but we will continue. It's a very cool setup
there at Grand Park. You should go check it out
when you get the chance. Tony Katz, ninety three, WIBC,
Good morning. There's more than what's happening regarding Jeffrey Epstein
in her trade deals, like dozens killed in an attack
on a Catholic church in the Congo. Tony Katz, ninety three, WIBC,

(53:41):
Good morning. The Allied Democratic Forces don't be fooled by
the name storming a church in a city called Kamanda.
This according to the UN, they are Aslamist extremists known
as the ADYF and they killed at least to forty
three people, including nine children. In a story that isn't

(54:03):
gonna get be talked about at all. It's a story
once again of Islamists. It's a story once again of
what exactly are we doing the world over? Are we
fully aware of all the issues? If you, if you
ask me, are we engaged enough, concerned enough, aware enough
talking about enough? I answer absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
Not in any way. And we see this problem.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
Whether this is Hamas in Israel, whether this is the
Iranian regime and Toto. We've got this in the Congo,
We've got this with the Houti rebels. We've got this
in other places. The issues in London, in Paris, the
issues are the same. This same group, according to the

(54:54):
Congolese military, carried out an attack where eighty two civilians
were killed. So I'm not quite sure how to fix
this for Congo. I don't know how they go about
fixing it. What I will note is that it just

(55:15):
won't be discussed.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
Yet.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
Somehow I should be told that Islamophobia is the most
important thing to discuss, and there are no attacks on
Christians anywhere.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
I think we're going to discuss all the things.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
We should discuss all the things, and we shouldn't be
peace feeling the things, hiding the things, being afraid to
discuss the things.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
This is a horrific story.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
And this is just one I would bet if I
started doing deep, deep research of many and many stories
that don't get discussed publicly because you know that would
be offensive. I must admit that the more people tell
me something is offensive to discuss, the more I want

(56:04):
to tell those people to please stop being in my spheres.
We're not talking about the world we want. We're talking
about the world we have, and how do we deal
with it? How do you deal with the world that
you have? This is the question. The world that we
have is that islamis won worldwide califate and will kill

(56:25):
anybody who gets in their path. Now what why is
this something not to admit.

Speaker 2 (56:33):
London? I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
The whole of the UK will fall. William will be
the last king. Louis will never ascend to the throne.
There will be nothing left unless they do something about it.
And doing something about it will not come kind, It
will not come easy. Yeah, these are the facts as presented.

(56:57):
It's not going to change. Us and China are going
to talk about extending the tariff pause deadline. Okay, you
do that. I think this is more time to get
a deal. Maybe it's a conversation of looking at this

(57:18):
EU deal and saying what does it mean to me?

Speaker 2 (57:21):
And I will tell you I've stared at the EU deal.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
I think the most amazing part about the European Union
trade deal is that the European Union allowed Trump to
announce it in a way that showed a complete and
total victory and.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
Utter humiliation for the Europeans.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
Because some of those things, whether it's energy or whether
it's military, that was gonna happen, but you let Trump
announce it as a deal. Good lord, ain't that something.
You're gonna open up markets terrific. I look forward to
seeing the markets actually be utilized. And then there are things,

(58:00):
of course we're discussing, like tariff rebates, where I'll let
Kevin O'Leary explain it.

Speaker 11 (58:06):
The only reason the Europeans have agreed to an asymmetric tariff,
in other words, they're paying more to come and bring
their products here than we are paying to go into
Europe is because of two sectors, pharma and automotive. They
can't give up access to the American market for these
behemoth businesses they have in pharma and automotive. What's interesting

(58:29):
about this whole narrative about rebate checks because Trump also brought.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
It up and these other ideas. That's a bad idea.

Speaker 11 (58:36):
What should be happening now with any extra income is
to pay down the national debt. That's the opportunity, because
the greatest gift you can give of the future is
to pay down the debt, which is just really really big.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
This is what we've been saying, so we have a backup,
but he says it in a very simple way.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
But this is also true.

Speaker 11 (58:58):
And so I think at the end of the day,
we're still negotiating with these countries because we don't have
deals with Mexico and no deals with Canada and be
a no deal. Europe looks like it's negotiating something here,
but the real big Mama is China, and we're just
starting to dance with those guys.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
True, and that's what we see now from continuing the
pause on the tarifs. Our deal with China's gonna be
different than our deal with the EU because of what
gets produced in China and certain markets that we want
access to. But anything that diminishes China's economic capacity is

(59:37):
good for us.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
It's valuable, is.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
Important, and we should absolutely be in favor of because
a trade deal is much more than about the trade.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
There is a national security conversation that goes along with it,
and I think it's important for us to keep that
in mind. We see this.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
As part of the EU deal, and it was kind
of glossed over the buying and military hardware. The buying
of energy is not only about the European Union's national
security and recognizing that Russia is the threat, and recognizing
that the United States will not be the nation just
to bail you out, because this was absolutely the story

(01:00:16):
for years post war post World War two.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
Then it got abusive.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
This is what Trump stated and said, you guys got
to start paying up, to which the European Union, all
of NATO scoffed. Then they got Joe Biden and they
realized they had nobody that could depend on because Biden
was a big hot mess. They better start paying for
their own defense. That got into the two percent deal.
Now we've got a five percent deal with NATO on GDP,
and now you have this purchase, which, as I state,

(01:00:41):
is probably gonna happen anyway. So not only is that
a national security conversation for the European Union, it is
for us because US being able to sell our hardware
is good for us. Now you say to me, well, Tony,
you're just talking about advancing the military industrial complex.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
To quote Eisenhower, I think that he was right in
his warning.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
But I also think it's right that American companies that
build great hardware are able to sell that hardware.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
I think that's better for US overall and our defense.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
I think Europe being able to better defend itself against
Russian aggression is better for us, which is why I
always supported supporting Ukraine being able to fight back against
the Russians after their invasion of Ukraine. But the national
security conversation is also the energy conversation. US being the
exporter of energy seven hundred and fifty billion dollars worth
means that Russia isn't the exporter of energy, which means

(01:01:34):
they have less dollars coming in, which is better. That's
all of this moves in these multiple pieces, and all
this brings us to the China conversation about what is
done to create any level of deal that would be
seen a success that also diminishes their power, because no

(01:01:55):
success can happen that doesn't diminish their power. And this
is why it's such a hard deal if it can
even be done, because the Chinese believe that they've got
markets outside of the United States that even with the tariffs,
they'll survive and be fine.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
And I think there's some extent to which that is true.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
So what does the deal look like and how do
these other deals put pressure on As I stated from
the beginning, and I still hold true to this, You've
got the deal with Japan, you have the deal with
the Philippines. That's great. You need the South Korean deal,
you need the India deal. Once you have those in place,
then we could take a look at.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
What they are and how China might react. Those are
the deals.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
I mean, the European Union deal is interesting, but those
are the deals that will make I will most make
China figure out how they have to respond and whether
or not they're even willing to which we should admit.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
Is a possibility. Time to fill up on the news.
Tony Kenttz ninety.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
Three WIBC, Good morning, to be with you. Doubt futures
up sixteen, as that future is up thirty two. You
have got oil prices which are now hovering at seventy
right sixty nine dollars and twenty cents a barrel on
the West Texas crewed, the Brench crewed. Now it's seventy
two dollars and fifty three cents. Oil prices were in

(01:03:18):
the sixties and weren't being affected by tariffs, and now
we're seeing this ten year treasury at four point three
six four and coming out now the US economy growing
at three percent in quarter two. I'm sorry you're saying GDP.
Doctor Matt Will just texted me, Wait, wait are we

(01:03:40):
saying GDP was three percent? Because what people are gonna
say is even with tariffs, we're still at three percent.
That's a that's a pretty nice amount of growth. That's
at least I absolutely believe that's what they're gonna put out. Now,

(01:04:01):
how is this effect inflation? And how does this affect
what is going to be the announcement from Jerome Powell,
Chairman of the Federal Reserve regarding interest rates.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
I'm putting my marker down, no shot, no shot. Are
we going to see interest rates go down? Not happening.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
Consumer spending up one point four percent in the second quarter,
better than the half percent in the quarter before it. Okay,
let's see does the market respond in an upward movement.
It hasn't done anything yet, but we'll keep keep an

(01:04:44):
eye on it. Interesting numbers.

Speaker 12 (01:04:48):
Indeed, I had something else in this Where did I have?
I had one more story of economics? Maybe I don't.
Maybe I'm just doing some early I don't think that's
the case. No, I talked about the cars.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
I thought this was very interesting as we were talking
about credit card debt and that you know, credit card
debt is getting paid down, but it's still incredibly high.
But car loans are at their highest level in four
years in terms of cars that are underwater. That the

(01:05:28):
average amount owed on loans was over sixty seven hundred
dollars and the average monthly payment was nine hundred and
fifteen bucks, which is a mind scramble of a number.
And these things seem to be in in totally opposite proportion.
People are underwater on their cars, they're paying down debt,
but the debt is still higher than ever, and GDP

(01:05:52):
is three percent even with tariffs. I don't know what
to make of this, and I'm I'm not so sure
anybody else has got a good answer either. The more
I'm staring at this GDP number, doing some reading as
we're doing the show, this is crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
That's a crazy good number.

Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
Three percent.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Yet inflation's not under control. So we've got record debt.

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
People are paying off debt, people are underwater on their vehicles,
but they're spending more for a vehicle. We have tariffs
but we have a higher GDP. Sure sounds great, Oh
good gosh. Might spend some time trying to break this

(01:06:38):
down even more on Tony Katz today at noon, I
am not in tomorrow. I will not be here. I
will not tell you where I will be. It is
super secret. I can't can't. I can't tell you where,

more of this. GDP number three this is this is insane.

(01:13:05):
That's a very very good number. And Trump just announcing
a twenty five percent terrify on India, which I assume
is to try and get them to the table, and
then a penalty portrayed with Russia because India buys what
Russian oil, okay, well to Russia, maybe you should have

(01:13:27):
made the deal with Kiev. I think that is basically
the argument. Pooh, A lot to talk about on Tony
Kats today at noon you hear that nationwide. We just
need more people in the nation hearing it. We're working
on it every day. I will be there at noon.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
I'll catch you then, Ken in case you're up next
