(00:32):

I think the site is still up where the tickets

H Russell Palooza set for Indianapolis September twentieth. Tickets go
on sale Friday. It's part of the deal between the
(02:20):
WWE and Indiana Sports Court. So Royal Rumble was here
and then we're gonna see SummerSlam, WrestleMania. We're gonna see
it all. Russell Palusa will be at the Fieldhouse according
to Mickey Shoey and the boys over there at IBJ
could have been the Ladies, I don't know. It will
(02:41):
feature John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Cmpunk,
Andrew McIntyre. See, you know what's amazing. I know those names.
I know those names, so, uh, you're going to want
to go and be a part of that. And while
(03:02):
that's going on, there is the continued movement on the
data center by Meta, which is Facebook, and that continues
a pace in the LEAP research district. Remember I don't
have an opposition to the concept of LEAP. I had
an issue with how it was rolled out, which was
(03:23):
horrifically to the people. It was poorly done, poorly managed,
and the Hulkme administration didn't care about that at all.
They didn't on data centers. I think the argument about
power is real and legitimate and worthy of discussion. And
can these guys bring their own power, produce their own power,
can they supply power to the grid, How does that work?
(03:46):
That's a legitimate argument that we should have. The other
side of that is what is the cost of having
the center. What do we lose if we don't take
the center? What is the long term value on both
sides having and not having? Why not have an open
conversation about this instead of people just screaming from their fiefdoms.
(04:08):
Can we discuss what it is data centers do? What
it is they take up, whether or not they provide
us value? Do they provide jobs? Do they provide tax dollars?
What is the story here? This is what we need
to discuss. This is it? So if we could all
just be normal and discuss the pros and cons, that
would be great and I will work on that for you.
(04:30):
Tony Katz in ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Amen, coming up,
brought to you by Bower Remodeling boo h e R
boer remodeling dot com. Listen, that kitchen, that bathroom, that basement.
You can actually make them beautiful. And with the basement.
You treat this as like a like a a separate
(04:50):
room in the house, not even part of the house.
That doesn't make any sense. It can be the home, theater,
it can be a bedroom, It can be a workout.
It can be your office, it can work for you.
It can be a place that you feel good working in,
going into sharing with friends and family. It doesn't have
to be this like, what is this appendage in my life?
(05:13):
With Brewer Remodeling, you could take your basement and make
it what it is you've always thought of, you've always
dreamed of, or things you never thought of. Sit down
with them, Sit down with Bower Remodeling, have your free consultation,
and then talk about ideas. This is what we're thinking, Well,
this is what we've done before. Ooh, that's interesting. What
about this and this and this? Well that sounds great,
let's go do that. Why not? What is stopping you
(05:37):
from getting the basement you've always wanted a basement that
is now actually part of the house, so you get
the enjoyment of your whole home. Their five step design
process makes it easy. The best materials, the most skilled
craftsmen in Central Indiana, and they stand behind their work

h e R boer remodeling dot com. The popcorn moment,
(06:20):
let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. It's a
story you need to hear to believe. Then grab your
popcorn because there is more. Also, Uh, you can text,
by the way, text wib C three one seven two
three nine ninety three ninety three. Right, text that word
wib C three one seven two three nine ninety three
(06:41):
ninety three. And then you can text into the show
and I could see it, and uh and I can.
I can then talk to you and share your texts.
Right there. A whole bunch of stuff on today's show.
I could, uh for for the popcorn moment, I could
text you this woman on TikTok who's so proud of
(07:01):
herself in her sports bra saying that people should go
around shooting those who are maga hats. I could, but
there's too much editing of the cursing there, so I
didn't feel I needed to spread that message. It's just
a reminder that the liberals are very very very tolerant
people and you should work hard to be more like them. Yeah,
(07:32):
then there is this weird thing going on with DC where,
of course you've got the takeover, you have got arrests happening,
and you have people coming out of the word work
to say thank you President Trump. Now you've got the
left saying, why in the world are you trying to
make us safer? And they're arguing against removing the criminal
(07:56):
element from the streets. Eighteen percent less safe sixty one percent.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
They say that they're out arresting criminals, they're arresting illegal aliens,
they're getting illegal guns off the streets. MS thirteen illegal
alien was taken out off the streets the other night.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
They're obviously safer.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
But you know there's another population that cares about public
safety and DC.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
It's all the people who visit there.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
We have people that go there, millions of people from
all over the country. They deserve to go to a
national capital that's not in disgrace and despair, and that's
what they're doing in Washington.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
So I don't really care about what they think.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Truth is.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Let me let let's say, because she actually lives in
deep Well in the DC area, let's put it down. Yeah, listen,
I live in the DNB area. I am from the area,
and listen. You can talk about the numbers that you
all have reported, go on that crime has come down
over the years, and yes, there are people who have
felt individual instances, but the bigger issue that a lot
of folks are talking about in DC is this over
(08:47):
policing of black communities, black and brown communities, and we're
seeing this as part of a bigger picture of what
the Trump administration is doing across the country, and so
it's actually not making people feel safer.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
There are a lot of peopleeople.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Who are staying home, the restaurants are feeling it, and
people are really concerned. And so I actually disagree with
the statement that people don't know what they need when
the city has actually come together and started voting people
in office to help bring crime down.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Let's talk about I would say to you from this
conversation that if the people in DC don't want safety insecurity,
don't give it to them. You get what you vote for.
They're not going out to restaurants, they're afraid to walk
down the street because the criminal element now has a
(09:36):
real issue with possibly being arrested and people here legally
being deported. There is something very backwards about this conversation.
The argument is we shouldn't be involved in those types
of activities of keeping the streets safer because it's not
(09:58):
really keeping the streets safe. When the streets were unsafe,
they were safe, and now that you have police out there,
they're unsafe. We were never at war with East Asia.
We were always at war with East Asia. It's it
(10:19):
is remarkable to hear this. It's remarkable that this is
the argument that the left is making. It is stunning
to think that the left can't see their way clear
to having a more focused approach. Why can't you talk
(10:44):
about things that people want? Why are you opposed to
things that people do have respect for? You can't do it,
you can't do it. But if the people of DC
really don't want to be safe, well that's on them.
(11:06):
That's on them. It's the same thing is true with
the people in Indianapolis. Do you want a working city
or not? I mean, answer the question, then there is
win some seers. I like Win some seers. She's the
Lieutenant governor of Virginia. She's pretty terrific, and she is
campaigning for governor and in her campaign for governor. And
(11:28):
I don't think are there any curses in here. I
produce a carl, but a finger on the dumb button
just in case. I just really enjoy the honest approach.
Ladies and gentlemen. It is time for the insanity to stop, a.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Time for everyone to recognize what is settled.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
True. Girls are girls and boys are boys. Oh it's
so fantastic. The honesty, the clarity, the fact that it
has to be said, of course, is criminally insane, but
I love that this is now how people are starting speeches,
(12:12):
engaging conversation. This is everything. And the support continually of
the mutilation of children is gross and the people who
support it should be called out for wanting to mutilate
children right here in Indianapolis or anywhere else without any hesitation,
without any hesitation.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
This is.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Where we need to be. And I love that more
and more people feel comfortable in saying yes, that's wrong,
Yes we shouldn't allow it. And I'll say it again
because it came up yesterday. I was on Newsmax yesterday
and it was a conversation about Sewn Duffy, the Transportation
Secretary who I like, I think is doing an excellent
job just under the radar, not getting a lot of
(12:58):
all the TV hits, but just the work is clearly
getting better. You could see it in the reporting, etc.
How they've moved to tell cities to get the nonsense
off the streets. Stop painting the streets. This is not
what should be happening. There should be no political sloganeering
on the streets, and it shouldn't be affecting transportation. Now
(13:21):
there's no enforcement mechanism to this, so there is no
penalty for a city not removing some rainbow flag they've
painted Bud. The conversation is with this, shouldn't we should
engage politics like this? And I didn't get a chance
to discuss it, but A reminded me once again that
(13:41):
the eldergy and the bee should drop the tea immediately
stop being used. This isn't the conversation of gay marriage.
This isn't the conversation of equal rights. This is the
conversation of mutilating children and trying to destroy and thwart
Western civilization. I have no belief that gay Americans, or
(14:02):
lesbian Americans or bisexual Americans are actually down for that,
So I don't know why. They're part of a political
movement called LGBT. Stop. Drop the t have your thoughts,
have your ideas. We may disagree politically about one hundred things,
but dear Lord, if we agree on not mutilating children,
drop the tea. That's all politics, and those politics stink
(14:23):
to high heaven. I wish, I wish this would start
right here in Indy. I would be as supportive as
all get out. Drop the TA. It's bad for everybody.
It's all political, all meant to destroy society, and society
is pretty good. Our society is worth conserving. Today on
(14:49):
the marketplace, I'm loving it. That's my hint. Let's see
if you guess what it is. Tony Katz at ninety
three WIBC, Good morning. Good to be with you. During
a downtime. I'm clearing my head. I'm getting ready for
what's next on the program. I find myself on Facebook marketplace.
(15:09):
Cool stuff, odd stuff, strange stuff, interesting stuff. It's all
there on the marketplace. The Marketplace segment brought to you
by Indiana Unclaimed dot Gov. It's your cash, Go get it,
Indiana Unclaimed dot Gov. No, seriously, it's that final paycheck.
It's a dividend. It's a refund. You didn't even know
you were expecting. They didn't know where to send it.
It's with the Attorney General. Now it should be in
your pocket Indiana Unclaimed dot gov. Go there right now.
(15:32):
Or text my name Tony. Text my name Tony to
four six two two zero and uh and you can
you can get your cash. You can do that right now.
Matt Bear, I know that you're a man who likes
to eat a whole lot of oatmeal.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Dah, yeah, here you are.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You're a kind of guy who will before bed be
like you know what, I'm in bed. I'm all comfy,
the sheets are clean. Let me go get somewhere between
eight and twelve bowls of oatmeal and just starting eating
and fall asleep in it. I cut that back to six.
Oh you did, yeah, yeah, man, it's find yourself getting tubby.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
It was too much fiber and not get bloated.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
And as soon as I took away those other four bowls, waterworks.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Niagara falls baby, Oh yeah, it's crazy. Anyways, I don't
think any bodies okay, fill in the black, sat shure.
I don't think my description was good enough.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Now, why don't you tell the kids going to school
what exactly you meant? Oh, they do it too. They
know you want to tell you want to tell them.
You're you're, you're, you're engaging in a number two humor.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
It's I don't think I was trying to be funny.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I was saying, when I eat my ten bowls of oatmeal,
I get bloated, and then when I take some of
that away, it's you know, it's irregularity.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
What if what if you didn't have breakfast food from
uh oatmeal, but you got it from McDonald's.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
I mean, what if there was a river that couldn't
a river has a mouth and can't talk, you know.
I mean it's kind of the same thing about I
would love McDonald's for dinner, Yeah, before I go to bed.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
I think that'd bell.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
And what if you could have a vintage McDonald's uniform
to eat the McDonald's breakfast before you go to bed
McDonald's pajamas if you will.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
What are we talking about? At Tony, Well, that's right here.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
You can follow me at Tony Katz on Twitter x
and see for yourself. Is a mint condition vintage McDonald's
uniform with the employee pin.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
And by men condition you mean grease spots on the
colmar god.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
One can only hope. Nineteen eighties full women's uniform. They
say size twelve but seems smaller. Amazing condition for its age.
It's the shirt with a little bit of flair. For
the ladies, it's the pants, it is the pin. If
(17:59):
you like dress up, this is for you.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I would say that this was a McDonald's uniform from
like the original McDonald's, like from nineteen fifties, nineteen sixties.
In that era, that's something you could put on kind
of shimmy in. I think it's it's something that it's
kind of beautiful in its own way, remind you of
a forgotten time of wo begone time that yeah, you know, and.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I mean it's cool.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
I'm just it probably still smells like a double cheeseburger
and you know, maybe some nugs.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Well, it's the eighties, so it probably smells like a
McDLT right, and Castanz is gonna start dancing, you know,
it's it's Jason Alexander in those ads, George Costanza. He's
the guy in the McDLT ads where he's dancing. He's
singing in the hot side hot, the cool side cool,
and my gosh, what's happened to my career? And then
he did Pretty Woman in Seinfeld, so it went fine.
(18:52):
But the point is that's him.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
I mean, what was a McDLT. I can't remember what
was the So you.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Had the burger on one side it was hot, and
so in the styrofoam it kept the hot side hot.
On the other side was the bun with the lettuce
and tomato, and it kept the cool side cool. And
that was the McDLT.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
How did that ever go wrong? How are they not
making those anymore?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Honestly, I don't know. But if they brought it back
right now, I'd ask for the McRib I.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Know, if they brought it back right now, I'd still
get a bag of fries.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
This is men conditioned vintage McDonald's uniform with the employee
pen right now, on sale for one hundred dollars on
the marketplace.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
I mean, how could it be mean conditioned when the
collar's yellow and the rest of it's white.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Collar is not yellow.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
I'm looking at the picture right now, it looks like
a yellow collar.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
No, no, no, that's just the lighting.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Oh, that's the lighting. Excuse me.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Yeah, this is a mean condition and it would fit
what it is, a size twelve, Yes, size twelve fit small.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
You could fit in that.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
I could fit not.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
A child small, but you could try.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Yeah, well we'll shrink that in the wash. That's how
we solve those problems.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yes, and it's women's but you know what, who am
I to judge? Who are any of us to the
side anymore?
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Hey, you put on the uniform, you get paid. That's
all I know.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
We should get somebody to put on get the uniform.
Have someone put on the uniform and see if they
can walk into McDonald's and start working, and see who notices.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
You know what, You put on the uniform, go out
into the circle and start give it away donuts and
confuse everybody.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
Okay, they'll never see it coming.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
You've ruined it. I didn't ruin it. It's a better idea.
Went too far? Are you in for one hundred dollars
for the vintage uniform?
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Absolutely, I'll pay one twenty ooh.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Ooh, there it is. It's a bidding war. Everybody see
it for yourself. Over there WIBC dot com. We've got
everything listed from the marketplace presented by Indiana Unclaimed dot gov.
Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, Good morning. I said earlier
that what you're seeing in California is beyond emotional problem,
(20:58):
and I saying that Indiana needs to call the special
session on redistricting. This is not a debate. I don't
want to hear about cost. Governor Brawn call it. Tony Katz,
ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Tony. We're not having a
special session about property taxes, but this that's ridiculous. It
is not I believe that is the wrong approach to
(21:21):
the conversation. You will not get me to disagree that
the Republican Party failed us on property taxes. And I
put forth to you that the answer to that comes
at the ballot box. For all of these members of
the Assembly and of the state Senate, they failed us.
You will not get me to disagree with such a thing.
(21:43):
The people who live in the suburbs of Indianapolis who said,
my gosh, you're worried about property taxes where they're gonna
go up an extra three hundred dollars a big deal.
Those people are people completely disconnected from the reality of hoosiers.
I have heard people make this argument, and I have
found myself disgusted with the people who make it, people
who are supposed to be those in the know, who
(22:05):
are supposed to respect, who I'm told are some level
of leader. What a mistake, massive mistake in disrespecting the
people who are saying. You keep telling me I have
to give more money, yet I don't get anything for it,
and then you attack me, You threaten me when I say, hey,
what about what's mine is mine? You won't get me
(22:28):
to disagree. We're having a conversation about redissecting. And if
your answer is, well, we have to talk about property taxes,
no we don't, that's a mistake. I think it's bad politics.
I think it's a bad thought. I think it comes
from a place of lack of strength. We have to
be able to do multiple things at a time, and
(22:49):
if we can't get it one way, we have to
get it in another way. If you're not getting the
special session regarding property taxes, you are going to have
to vote people out. On redistricting, we have a whole
different conversation in front of us. Texas has gone forward
with redistricting. That is a Texas thing. That's a Texas thing.
(23:12):
I don't know how it's gonna all work out. I
don't know how many quote unquote seats are gonna get
picked up. What happens if they're like, we're gonna pick
up five seats and the only pick up three. Don't
forget that the redistricting is only part one. The election
has to take place. There is a risk to all
of these things. A belief that the census was botched.
(23:32):
A conversation about how Texas sees its lines being drawn
for congressional districts. They engage in a political process, They
broke no laws. What California wants to do is full
on retribution. California is saying, because Texas has redistricted, now
we will redistrict and we will draw Republicans right out.
(23:57):
You think that makes sense. Texas does something so the
people of California now have to be involved in some nonsense.
You want to talk about playing politics. Gavin Newsom, the governor,
is all politics. Gavin Newsom, when told that bed Bath
and Beyond would not open any new stores in California,
(24:20):
he wrote the company that already went bankrupt and closed
every store across the country two years ago, Okay, bad,
bath and beyond under Marcus Lamonas is trying to make
a comeback. He bought the IP It's a billion dollar
business online. They're going to open up three hundred small
to mid sized neighborhood stores through their investments, just not
(24:44):
in California. The conversation was California's too difficult to work
in and instead of getting the message that businesses cannot
thrive in California, Gavin Newsom's like, hey, I can get
a good singer on social media. I now have two
situations in which the governor of California doesn't give a
damn about Californians. He cares about the party. He cares
(25:07):
about the power more than he cares about the people.
He cares about the power more than he cares about
the process. The question for Indiana Republicans is are you
going to let somebody like that decide your political future.
It's a conversation for Republicans and independents and moderates and
rational people of no political persuasion all across the country.
(25:30):
If Texans disagree with what Texas has done, then Texans
have to do something about it. But Gavin Newsom decides
it's not okay, and now does this It's an act
of retribution and Republicans have to respond. I didn't ask
whether you liked it. I don't actually care whether you
like it. When Mitch Daniels, the former governor, the former
(25:53):
president produe says we shouldn't do this, I didn't ask him.
And with all due respect to the former governor, and
I'm a fellow of the Mitch Daniels Leadership Foundation, your
approach is wrong, sir. You didn't wait to see what happened. Sir.
Here's where we are now. You don't like it, fine,
(26:13):
here's where we are right now. What is your plan
when Democrats change the system in an act of retribution
and gain twenty seats, what's your answer? Do nothing? With
all due respect, That's why the Bill Crystal wing of
the Republican Party failed so miraculously. They do nothing. Every
(26:33):
time they're punched in the face, every time they're punched,
they do nothing. And Republicans all rallied around Trump and said, yeah,
we're gonna fight. No, no, no, you mean that guy could
fight and we would cheer from the sidelines. But the
moment it got a little bit tough for us. We
shouldn't be doing that. We're above this, we're better than this.
With all due respect Indiana Republicans, we saw what you
(26:55):
did with property taxes. Let's not think you're better than anything.
But let us think that you understand the fight that
is happening right now in front of us that we
have to deal with. You're either going to let the
progressive left of Gavin Newsom steamroll you, or you're going
to have a country. Which one is it? Which? What
(27:17):
are you going to do? This is your choice now.
It wasn't a conversation two weeks ago, it is today.
What's your plan? And I believe the only plan is
to call the special session. Governor Mike Brown, Josh Kelly,
chief of staff, I know you're listening, tell him to
(27:38):
call the special session. Tell him he has to call
the special session, and let's discuss it and let's vote
on it. This is happening, whether you like it or not.

I love every bit of it. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC.
(00:32):
Good morning, Good to be with you this Saturday. From
Hollywood to the Heartland presented by Bower Remodeling, presented by
Premier Arms and PA Jewelers. So Bower Remodeling dot com,
Premiere Arms dot Com, myself and Nick Cercy From Hollywood

documentaries about January sixth and why we both live in
(00:54):

and of course the bourbon from West Fork Whiskey because
that's where we will be West Fork Whiskey. This is Saturday,
so you want to you want to be there. I know, listen,
(01:15):
I think the site is still up where the tickets
are selling, and we were supposed to be done yesterday,
so I mean just do what you will. If you
haven't done it already, we'll find them. Room for you.
Tickets dot Tony Kats dot com. It's gonna be incredible,
incredible evening. Just add water Boats, one of our great sponsors.
They're fantastic people. They are so cool. They got to
bring the boats. You gotta bring the boats, guys, just
(01:36):
bring them. Call me today. We will park them. We're
gonna eat trailers, but we will park them. It's gonna
be awesome. And honestly, producer Carl will man one of
the boats and he will actually wear a captain's hat.
Absolutely done. And Defiance Beef will be there. If you
ever want to order a cow and have a butcher
geer specifications and have it in the freezer. Oh mine
(01:58):

dot Com tell you all about them on Saturday night.
H Russell Palooza set for Indianapolis September twentieth. Tickets go
on sale Friday. It's part of the deal between the
(02:20):
WWE and Indiana Sports Court. So Royal Rumble was here
and then we're gonna see SummerSlam, WrestleMania. We're gonna see
it all. Russell Palusa will be at the Fieldhouse according
to Mickey Shoey and the boys over there at IBJ
could have been the Ladies, I don't know. It will
(02:41):
feature John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Cmpunk,
Andrew McIntyre. See, you know what's amazing. I know those names.
I know those names, so, uh, you're going to want
to go and be a part of that. And while
(03:02):
that's going on, there is the continued movement on the
data center by Meta, which is Facebook, and that continues
a pace in the LEAP research district. Remember I don't
have an opposition to the concept of LEAP. I had
an issue with how it was rolled out, which was
(03:23):
horrifically to the people. It was poorly done, poorly managed,
and the Hulkme administration didn't care about that at all.
They didn't on data centers. I think the argument about
power is real and legitimate and worthy of discussion. And
can these guys bring their own power, produce their own power,
can they supply power to the grid, How does that work?
(03:46):
That's a legitimate argument that we should have. The other
side of that is what is the cost of having
the center. What do we lose if we don't take
the center? What is the long term value on both
sides having and not having? Why not have an open
conversation about this instead of people just screaming from their fiefdoms.
(04:08):
Can we discuss what it is data centers do? What
it is they take up, whether or not they provide
us value? Do they provide jobs? Do they provide tax dollars?
What is the story here? This is what we need
to discuss. This is it? So if we could all
just be normal and discuss the pros and cons, that
would be great and I will work on that for you.
(04:30):
Tony Katz in ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Amen, coming up,
brought to you by Bower Remodeling boo h e R
boer remodeling dot com. Listen, that kitchen, that bathroom, that basement.

You treat this as like a like a a separate

room in the house, not even part of the house.

it can be a bedroom, It can be a workout.
It can be your office, it can work for you.
It can be a place that you feel good working in,
going into sharing with friends and family. It doesn't have
to be this like, what is this appendage in my life?

dreamed of, or things you never thought of. Sit down

(06:20):
let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. It's a
story you need to hear to believe. Then grab your
popcorn because there is more. Also, Uh, you can text,
by the way, text wib C three one seven two
three nine ninety three ninety three. Right, text that word
wib C three one seven two three nine ninety three
(06:41):
ninety three. And then you can text into the show
and I could see it, and uh and I can.
I can then talk to you and share your texts.
Right there. A whole bunch of stuff on today's show.
I could, uh for for the popcorn moment, I could
text you this woman on TikTok who's so proud of
(07:01):
herself in her sports bra saying that people should go
around shooting those who are maga hats. I could, but
there's too much editing of the cursing there, so I
didn't feel I needed to spread that message. It's just
a reminder that the liberals are very very very tolerant
people and you should work hard to be more like them. Yeah,
(07:32):
then there is this weird thing going on with DC where,
of course you've got the takeover, you have got arrests happening,
and you have people coming out of the word work
to say thank you President Trump. Now you've got the
left saying, why in the world are you trying to
make us safer? And they're arguing against removing the criminal
(07:56):
element from the streets. Eighteen percent less safe sixty one percent.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
They say that they're out arresting criminals, they're arresting illegal aliens,
they're getting illegal guns off the streets. MS thirteen illegal
alien was taken out off the streets the other night.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
They're obviously safer.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
But you know there's another population that cares about public
safety and DC.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
It's all the people who visit there.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
We have people that go there, millions of people from
all over the country. They deserve to go to a
national capital that's not in disgrace and despair, and that's
what they're doing in Washington.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
So I don't really care about what they think.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Truth is.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Let me let let's say, because she actually lives in
deep Well in the DC area, let's put it down. Yeah, listen,
I live in the DNB area. I am from the area,
and listen. You can talk about the numbers that you
all have reported, go on that crime has come down
over the years, and yes, there are people who have
felt individual instances, but the bigger issue that a lot
of folks are talking about in DC is this over
(08:47):
policing of black communities, black and brown communities, and we're
seeing this as part of a bigger picture of what
the Trump administration is doing across the country, and so
it's actually not making people feel safer.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
There are a lot of peopleeople.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Who are staying home, the restaurants are feeling it, and
people are really concerned. And so I actually disagree with
the statement that people don't know what they need when
the city has actually come together and started voting people
in office to help bring crime down.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Let's talk about I would say to you from this
conversation that if the people in DC don't want safety insecurity,
don't give it to them. You get what you vote for.
They're not going out to restaurants, they're afraid to walk
down the street because the criminal element now has a
(09:36):
real issue with possibly being arrested and people here legally
being deported. There is something very backwards about this conversation.
The argument is we shouldn't be involved in those types
of activities of keeping the streets safer because it's not
(09:58):
really keeping the streets safe. When the streets were unsafe,
they were safe, and now that you have police out there,
they're unsafe. We were never at war with East Asia.
We were always at war with East Asia. It's it
(10:19):
is remarkable to hear this. It's remarkable that this is
the argument that the left is making. It is stunning
to think that the left can't see their way clear
to having a more focused approach. Why can't you talk
(10:44):
about things that people want? Why are you opposed to
things that people do have respect for? You can't do it,
you can't do it. But if the people of DC
really don't want to be safe, well that's on them.
(11:06):
That's on them. It's the same thing is true with
the people in Indianapolis. Do you want a working city
or not? I mean, answer the question, then there is
win some seers. I like Win some seers. She's the
Lieutenant governor of Virginia. She's pretty terrific, and she is
campaigning for governor and in her campaign for governor. And
(11:28):
I don't think are there any curses in here. I
produce a carl, but a finger on the dumb button
just in case. I just really enjoy the honest approach.
Ladies and gentlemen. It is time for the insanity to stop, a.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Time for everyone to recognize what is settled.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
True. Girls are girls and boys are boys. Oh it's
so fantastic. The honesty, the clarity, the fact that it
has to be said, of course, is criminally insane, but
I love that this is now how people are starting speeches,
(12:12):
engaging conversation. This is everything. And the support continually of
the mutilation of children is gross and the people who
support it should be called out for wanting to mutilate
children right here in Indianapolis or anywhere else without any hesitation,
without any hesitation.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
This is.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Where we need to be. And I love that more
and more people feel comfortable in saying yes, that's wrong,
Yes we shouldn't allow it. And I'll say it again
because it came up yesterday. I was on Newsmax yesterday
and it was a conversation about Sewn Duffy, the Transportation
Secretary who I like, I think is doing an excellent
job just under the radar, not getting a lot of
(12:58):
all the TV hits, but just the work is clearly
getting better. You could see it in the reporting, etc.
How they've moved to tell cities to get the nonsense
off the streets. Stop painting the streets. This is not
what should be happening. There should be no political sloganeering
on the streets, and it shouldn't be affecting transportation. Now
(13:21):
there's no enforcement mechanism to this, so there is no
penalty for a city not removing some rainbow flag they've
painted Bud. The conversation is with this, shouldn't we should
engage politics like this? And I didn't get a chance
to discuss it, but A reminded me once again that
(13:41):
the eldergy and the bee should drop the tea immediately
stop being used. This isn't the conversation of gay marriage.
This isn't the conversation of equal rights. This is the
conversation of mutilating children and trying to destroy and thwart
Western civilization. I have no belief that gay Americans, or
(14:02):
lesbian Americans or bisexual Americans are actually down for that,
So I don't know why. They're part of a political
movement called LGBT. Stop. Drop the t have your thoughts,
have your ideas. We may disagree politically about one hundred things,
but dear Lord, if we agree on not mutilating children,
drop the tea. That's all politics, and those politics stink
(14:23):
to high heaven. I wish, I wish this would start
right here in Indy. I would be as supportive as
all get out. Drop the TA. It's bad for everybody.
It's all political, all meant to destroy society, and society
is pretty good. Our society is worth conserving. Today on
(14:49):
the marketplace, I'm loving it. That's my hint. Let's see
if you guess what it is. Tony Katz at ninety
three WIBC, Good morning. Good to be with you. During
a downtime. I'm clearing my head. I'm getting ready for
what's next on the program. I find myself on Facebook marketplace.
(15:09):
Cool stuff, odd stuff, strange stuff, interesting stuff. It's all
there on the marketplace. The Marketplace segment brought to you
by Indiana Unclaimed dot Gov. It's your cash, Go get it,
Indiana Unclaimed dot Gov. No, seriously, it's that final paycheck.
It's a dividend. It's a refund. You didn't even know
you were expecting. They didn't know where to send it.
It's with the Attorney General. Now it should be in
your pocket Indiana Unclaimed dot gov. Go there right now.
(15:32):
Or text my name Tony. Text my name Tony to
four six two two zero and uh and you can
you can get your cash. You can do that right now.
Matt Bear, I know that you're a man who likes
to eat a whole lot of oatmeal.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Dah, yeah, here you are.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You're a kind of guy who will before bed be
like you know what, I'm in bed. I'm all comfy,
the sheets are clean. Let me go get somewhere between
eight and twelve bowls of oatmeal and just starting eating
and fall asleep in it. I cut that back to six.
Oh you did, yeah, yeah, man, it's find yourself getting tubby.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
It was too much fiber and not get bloated.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
And as soon as I took away those other four bowls, waterworks.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Niagara falls baby, Oh yeah, it's crazy. Anyways, I don't
think any bodies okay, fill in the black, sat shure.
I don't think my description was good enough.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Now, why don't you tell the kids going to school
what exactly you meant? Oh, they do it too. They
know you want to tell you want to tell them.
You're you're, you're, you're engaging in a number two humor.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
It's I don't think I was trying to be funny.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I was saying, when I eat my ten bowls of oatmeal,
I get bloated, and then when I take some of
that away, it's you know, it's irregularity.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
What if what if you didn't have breakfast food from
uh oatmeal, but you got it from McDonald's.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
I mean, what if there was a river that couldn't
a river has a mouth and can't talk, you know.
I mean it's kind of the same thing about I
would love McDonald's for dinner, Yeah, before I go to bed.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
I think that'd bell.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
And what if you could have a vintage McDonald's uniform
to eat the McDonald's breakfast before you go to bed
McDonald's pajamas if you will.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
What are we talking about? At Tony, Well, that's right here.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
You can follow me at Tony Katz on Twitter x
and see for yourself. Is a mint condition vintage McDonald's
uniform with the employee pin.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
And by men condition you mean grease spots on the
colmar god.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
One can only hope. Nineteen eighties full women's uniform. They
say size twelve but seems smaller. Amazing condition for its age.
It's the shirt with a little bit of flair. For
the ladies, it's the pants, it is the pin. If
(17:59):
you like dress up, this is for you.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I would say that this was a McDonald's uniform from
like the original McDonald's, like from nineteen fifties, nineteen sixties.
In that era, that's something you could put on kind
of shimmy in. I think it's it's something that it's
kind of beautiful in its own way, remind you of
a forgotten time of wo begone time that yeah, you know, and.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I mean it's cool.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
I'm just it probably still smells like a double cheeseburger
and you know, maybe some nugs.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Well, it's the eighties, so it probably smells like a
McDLT right, and Castanz is gonna start dancing, you know,
it's it's Jason Alexander in those ads, George Costanza. He's
the guy in the McDLT ads where he's dancing. He's
singing in the hot side hot, the cool side cool,
and my gosh, what's happened to my career? And then
he did Pretty Woman in Seinfeld, so it went fine.
(18:52):
But the point is that's him.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
I mean, what was a McDLT. I can't remember what
was the So you.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Had the burger on one side it was hot, and
so in the styrofoam it kept the hot side hot.
On the other side was the bun with the lettuce
and tomato, and it kept the cool side cool. And
that was the McDLT.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
How did that ever go wrong? How are they not
making those anymore?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Honestly, I don't know. But if they brought it back
right now, I'd ask for the McRib I.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Know, if they brought it back right now, I'd still
get a bag of fries.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
This is men conditioned vintage McDonald's uniform with the employee
pen right now, on sale for one hundred dollars on
the marketplace.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
I mean, how could it be mean conditioned when the
collar's yellow and the rest of it's white.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Collar is not yellow.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
I'm looking at the picture right now, it looks like
a yellow collar.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
No, no, no, that's just the lighting.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Oh, that's the lighting. Excuse me.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Yeah, this is a mean condition and it would fit
what it is, a size twelve, Yes, size twelve fit small.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
You could fit in that.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
I could fit not.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
A child small, but you could try.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Yeah, well we'll shrink that in the wash. That's how
we solve those problems.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yes, and it's women's but you know what, who am
I to judge? Who are any of us to the
side anymore?
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Hey, you put on the uniform, you get paid. That's
all I know.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
We should get somebody to put on get the uniform.
Have someone put on the uniform and see if they
can walk into McDonald's and start working, and see who notices.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
You know what, You put on the uniform, go out
into the circle and start give it away donuts and
confuse everybody.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
Okay, they'll never see it coming.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
You've ruined it. I didn't ruin it. It's a better idea.
Went too far? Are you in for one hundred dollars
for the vintage uniform?
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Absolutely, I'll pay one twenty ooh.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Ooh, there it is. It's a bidding war. Everybody see
it for yourself. Over there WIBC dot com. We've got
everything listed from the marketplace presented by Indiana Unclaimed dot gov.
Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, Good morning. I said earlier
that what you're seeing in California is beyond emotional problem,
(20:58):
and I saying that Indiana needs to call the special
session on redistricting. This is not a debate. I don't
want to hear about cost. Governor Brawn call it. Tony Katz,
ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Tony. We're not having a
special session about property taxes, but this that's ridiculous. It
is not I believe that is the wrong approach to
(21:21):
the conversation. You will not get me to disagree that
the Republican Party failed us on property taxes. And I
put forth to you that the answer to that comes
at the ballot box. For all of these members of
the Assembly and of the state Senate, they failed us.
You will not get me to disagree with such a thing.
(21:43):
The people who live in the suburbs of Indianapolis who said,
my gosh, you're worried about property taxes where they're gonna
go up an extra three hundred dollars a big deal.
Those people are people completely disconnected from the reality of hoosiers.
I have heard people make this argument, and I have
found myself disgusted with the people who make it, people
who are supposed to be those in the know, who
(22:05):
are supposed to respect, who I'm told are some level
of leader. What a mistake, massive mistake in disrespecting the
people who are saying. You keep telling me I have
to give more money, yet I don't get anything for it,
and then you attack me, You threaten me when I say, hey,
what about what's mine is mine? You won't get me
(22:28):
to disagree. We're having a conversation about redissecting. And if
your answer is, well, we have to talk about property taxes,
no we don't, that's a mistake. I think it's bad politics.
I think it's a bad thought. I think it comes
from a place of lack of strength. We have to
be able to do multiple things at a time, and
(22:49):
if we can't get it one way, we have to
get it in another way. If you're not getting the
special session regarding property taxes, you are going to have
to vote people out. On redistricting, we have a whole
different conversation in front of us. Texas has gone forward
with redistricting. That is a Texas thing. That's a Texas thing.
(23:12):
I don't know how it's gonna all work out. I
don't know how many quote unquote seats are gonna get
picked up. What happens if they're like, we're gonna pick
up five seats and the only pick up three. Don't
forget that the redistricting is only part one. The election
has to take place. There is a risk to all
of these things. A belief that the census was botched.
(23:32):
A conversation about how Texas sees its lines being drawn
for congressional districts. They engage in a political process, They
broke no laws. What California wants to do is full
on retribution. California is saying, because Texas has redistricted, now
we will redistrict and we will draw Republicans right out.
(23:57):
You think that makes sense. Texas does something so the
people of California now have to be involved in some nonsense.
You want to talk about playing politics. Gavin Newsom, the governor,
is all politics. Gavin Newsom, when told that bed Bath
and Beyond would not open any new stores in California,
(24:20):
he wrote the company that already went bankrupt and closed
every store across the country two years ago, Okay, bad,
bath and beyond under Marcus Lamonas is trying to make
a comeback. He bought the IP It's a billion dollar
business online. They're going to open up three hundred small
to mid sized neighborhood stores through their investments, just not
(24:44):
in California. The conversation was California's too difficult to work
in and instead of getting the message that businesses cannot
thrive in California, Gavin Newsom's like, hey, I can get
a good singer on social media. I now have two
situations in which the governor of California doesn't give a
damn about Californians. He cares about the party. He cares
(25:07):
about the power more than he cares about the people.
He cares about the power more than he cares about
the process. The question for Indiana Republicans is are you
going to let somebody like that decide your political future.
It's a conversation for Republicans and independents and moderates and
rational people of no political persuasion all across the country.
(25:30):
If Texans disagree with what Texas has done, then Texans
have to do something about it. But Gavin Newsom decides
it's not okay, and now does this It's an act
of retribution and Republicans have to respond. I didn't ask
whether you liked it. I don't actually care whether you
like it. When Mitch Daniels, the former governor, the former
(25:53):
president produe says we shouldn't do this, I didn't ask him.
And with all due respect to the former governor, and
I'm a fellow of the Mitch Daniels Leadership Foundation, your
approach is wrong, sir. You didn't wait to see what happened. Sir.
Here's where we are now. You don't like it, fine,
(26:13):
here's where we are right now. What is your plan
when Democrats change the system in an act of retribution
and gain twenty seats, what's your answer? Do nothing? With
all due respect, That's why the Bill Crystal wing of
the Republican Party failed so miraculously. They do nothing. Every
(26:33):
time they're punched in the face, every time they're punched,
they do nothing. And Republicans all rallied around Trump and said, yeah,
we're gonna fight. No, no, no, you mean that guy could
fight and we would cheer from the sidelines. But the
moment it got a little bit tough for us. We
shouldn't be doing that. We're above this, we're better than this.
With all due respect Indiana Republicans, we saw what you
(26:55):
did with property taxes. Let's not think you're better than anything.
But let us think that you understand the fight that
is happening right now in front of us that we
have to deal with. You're either going to let the
progressive left of Gavin Newsom steamroll you, or you're going
to have a country. Which one is it? Which? What
(27:17):
are you going to do? This is your choice now.
It wasn't a conversation two weeks ago, it is today.
What's your plan? And I believe the only plan is
to call the special session. Governor Mike Brown, Josh Kelly,
chief of staff, I know you're listening, tell him to
(27:38):
call the special session. Tell him he has to call
the special session, and let's discuss it and let's vote
on it. This is happening, whether you like it or not.
So let's do something about what it is Gavin Newsom
and Democrats are doing all across the country. Shall we
