Speaker 1 (00:25):
In his camp.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
If you missed it yesterday, the Lieutenant governor, his name
is Micah beckw with went on with.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Himmer and Nigel.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
You should listen to it make your decisions for yourself.
Tony Kats ninety three w ib C, Good morning.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Good to be with you that the post about Haitian refugees.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
That just simply got everybody to say, what is he
talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Was deleted by someone in his camp.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Now that's very possible that he's got people on his
staff and someone deleted it. Are you saying, Lieutenant Governor,
I don't know this question got asked. You got to
go back and listen to the whole interview with Hammer
and Nigel about this tweet. This tweet was about helping

(01:31):
Haitian immigrants. So does that mean you've got forty thousand
people looking for asylum in Indiana? We're going to allow
all forty thousand in?

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Are there any checks? Is this what we actually need?
You already have issues in places like.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Logan's Port and in other places, and he's already spoken
out about issues in Logan's Port. The question before us
is were you advocating for allowing these people into the country? Yes,
or no, because we already know that this TPS Temporary
Protective Status was nothing more than a cover to be

(02:05):
able to allow people into the country without having to
go through any rules or regulations, allow people to engage
in hiring. It seemed like a jobs program. This is
what we determined from our visit to Springfield, Ohio. Remember
they're eating the dogs or eating the cats, that whole
thing they weren't. They are eating the geese though, and
they can't drive, and no one has a driver's license,
and it has sent rents through the roof.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
That's all true as well. So he posted this and
people are like.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
What are we talking about here? Now he did talk
in subsequent posts about, you know, within the law, etc.
I made sure to say that, but the post was
just so out of touch and disconnected. I said here
on this show that Micah Becks's political career is over.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
He can't do this.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
He might be a nice guy, good to his family,
how would I know, But he simply can't connect. He's
always in this place where he is completely disconnected from
how to engage, and he thinks himself righteous in the
way he presents and I think it is outrageously off putting.

(03:12):
I believe Hoosiers are there as well. It's just constant
confusion and disappointment from the office. I'm saying, his political
career done. This is the hype.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
That's it. That's it.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
And so he deleted the post and then he told
Himmer Nigel that it was someone in his camp I
believe who deleted the post. The question before us is
could anybody on your staff delete something on your account
without your say so?

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Now?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
I ask you, is that an outrageous question, because I
think that's a pretty standard question. Is there anybody who
could delete something off of your social media without.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Your say so? And if so, really that's something. Then
there was.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
A conversation about faith and he says, my faith is
my identity. Why do I have to sacrifice my faith?
Check my identity at the door. Show me in the
Constitution where it says separation of Church and State.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Oh Lord, is this the conversation we're now going to have,
Lieutenant Governor, this is what you brought up. And again,
this very much tracks with the interviews he did here.
It is defensive, it is overly aggressive for no reason.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
It is I know more than.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
You go Listen to the interview and tell me he
didn't prove my point.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
The political career is over.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
He might be a nice guy in his private life.
I have no idea, but holy wow, that's how you
approach Haimer and Nigel. By the way, Monday through Friday,
three pm on WIBC, you just proven my point. I
have never been more absolutely clear, absolutely clear about understanding him.

(05:20):
Oh and I'm getting a text right now about what's
happening with migrant situations and how they're affecting resources.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I'll get into that as well. Tony Kats ninety three WIBC.

Speaker 2 (05:31):

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Never miss one before we get to it.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Lebron James wrote an op ed in China, Lebron James.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Do I have this right?

Speaker 2 (07:47):
He wrote a column about China for a news outlet
in China. He authored an essay in The People's Daily.
Are you this isn't true? The enthusiasm and kindness of

(08:09):
Chinese friends deeply touched me, and all I can do
is give my all in every game to express my gratitude.
I hope I can contribute to the development of Chinese basketball.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
If you ever wanted to meet.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
A useful idiot, you can't say that about Lebron said
it meant it. Don't care about his court vision, don't
care how much money the flopper has Dear Lord.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Darryl Morey was always right.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
That was the GM of the Houston Rockets who said
he stands with Hong Kong, and the NBA came crashing
on his head and Lebron James said he needs to
get educated. Daryl Moray needs to get educated. No, Daryl
Morey is fine. It's you, Lebron, who have no soul
supporting the communist Chinese with this propaganda, anything to make

(08:56):
a buck booboo, Dear god, people will look at me
and say, my gosh, he'll say anything for a dollar
supporting China, not saying that. Oh I get called grifter
on the daily. But Lebron is somehow above it all.
He just showed you by the way my words hurt

(09:20):
him so much. He just fell to the ground and
asked for the rough to throw me out of the arena.
But no, I bring you this as the popcorn moment.
This was that show on CNN Abby Phillips show, which
is this embarrassment of riches in exposing the unseeriousness I

(09:44):
view of today's leftist politics.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Now, it is possible, if not.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Probable, that there are a fair amount of Democrats out
there who don't engage this way, but are left to
suffer because this is how the leadership engages.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
This was a conversation.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
About the murder of Arena Zarutzka, and how like I
said yesterday and I have said before, we need to
reopen the asylums. We need to reopen the asylums. There
are some people who just can't be a part of society.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
That's it. We have a problem, and the problem.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Is not answered by welp, you just might get killed
on a train, and then the people who say that
also tell you can't have a firearm to protect yourself.
It is a very odd argument that they are making
and they should be dismissed out of hand. Do not
give these people power at all at all. The people

(10:43):
on that train are lucky this guy didn't try and
stab somebody else. So you have Caroline Downey.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
On the show from National Review who's.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Making the argument for asylums, and the pushback is just incredible.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
A lot of liberals have been accused of appeasing crime
by saying, actually, maybe cops shouldn't be answering those calls.
So what you're maybe there should be people who actually
have have expertise in mental health who should be answering those.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Costs, or we bring back we bring back institutionalization, which
there's been a tabit it's going to take on for
a long time.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Where he's going to take the call, Carolyn.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
I honestly, I'm not sure who's going to take the call.
But I do know that they should go to institutions.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
That's right, because is that where they go.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
On the institutions with a wholeutting.

Speaker 6 (11:31):
Story the things.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Let's talk about this executive order with institutionalization, where it
essentially says anyone that's homeless or deemed mentally ill by
the state can be institutionalized. First off, Trump is cutting
almost every single service that would go to actually getting
people mental health services or medical care. Second, that means
that anyone could be deemed unhoused or mentally ill and
thrown wherever Trump or an administration.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
First things, first, political left, we have a problem. Can
you at least admit that.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Secondly, what that woman there at the end, who's a
congressional candidate Democrat in Illinois. Anybody can be deemed this
out or the other. That's how the left abuses red
flag laws. So you're making an argument against that by
the way, which is something else. But most importantly, if
you want to argue that services are being cut, what

(12:23):
if we came up with a plan to provide services
for it. So let's not get into the argument of well,
trump cut this, trump cut that. What can we do?
You're throwing up roadblock after roadblock. Who's going to answer
the call? You think we should have a social worker
answering the call of somebody stabbing people. Find me the
social worker who's going to answer the call. Find me

(12:46):
the unarmed social worker who's going to answer the call.
They might exist, Okay, send them, and when they get
stabbed to death, where's the next one? At what moment
will you send in the person with firearm to stop
the threat?

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Well, maybe we got to take a step back. Do
you at least admit that it's a threat.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Do you admit that this guy, after all the crimes
he committed and all the times he had spent in
front of a judge over a dozen times, will you
at least admit that he was a threat to society
and never should have been out on the streets on
that light rail to murder Arena Zarutzki. Will you admit
to that or no or no, you won't admit to that, well,
then we have to dismiss you.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
If you're willing to.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Admit to it, then we could say, okay, what do
we do about this thing? We had to reopen the asylums.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Who's going to take the call? What call?

Speaker 2 (13:39):
The police are going to take the call to subdue
whoever it is that's causing the issue. And then if
adjudicated mentally unfit to an institution, they go, if you're
willing to do it so willingly for people who want
to own a firearm?

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Can we do it for people who are murdering those
I can't believe I.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Have to joke about this, murdering those on a light rail,
on a train, on a sidewalk.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Do you know what the problem is with being rational?

Speaker 2 (14:06):
It's sometimes hard to understand how irrational other people are.
I get it, Guys CNN with nothing but roadblocks to well,
you can't do that, well, you can't do that? Well
you can't do that, Yes you can, you just have
the will to do it. Adjudicated mentally unfit in front
of a judge. If we don't start protecting our streets

(14:31):
and admitting our issues, we're never going to protect our
streets and our issues are only going to grow today
on the marketplace as I readjust my microphone. Let me
say for the record that this is a must. When
I say this is a must, I'm saying that I'm

(14:52):
considering it right now because what I need to do
is blow fifteen hundred dollars CATS ninety three WIBC.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Good morning, Good to be with you.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
During downtime, I'm getting ready for it. Next on the show,
I'm clearing my head. I find myself on Facebook marketplace.
The cool stuff, the odd stuff that, the weird stuff, the
strange stuff. It is all there on the marketplace. The
whole marketplace segment brought to you by Indiana Unclaimed dot Gov.
It's your cash, Go get it. It's waiting for you
that final paycheck, some dividend. You didn't even know you
were gonna get a refund. You didn't know you were owed. Well,

(15:24):
they didn't know where to send it, so the Attorney
General has it.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Text my name Tony.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Text Tony to four six two two zero to get started,
or go to Indiana Unclaimed dot gov fast easy, free
to use Indiana Unclaimed dot gov.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
The live stream is happening at YouTube YouTube dot com
slash wibc. You could see Matt Bear, who is back
to wearing his children's medium T shirts, and producer Carl
there as well, looking just like a medium child.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Matt Bear.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Oh, you might not know this about me, but when
I fly, I do two things.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Do you know what those two things are? Crop dusting
and coach. No, one of.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Those things could happen. But honestly, what are the odds
of me flying coach? I wear a suit because I
am a grown man. Yes, and I fly first class.

Speaker 6 (16:25):
Yeah, you have to wear a suit on a plane.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Undoubtedly, you have to wear a suit on a plane.
It's just the way it is. That's not what we're
discussing right now.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
We're not discussing how other people are absolute heathens and
there's a special place in health them. No, we're discussing
first class right now, Matt Bear. Someone in Greenwood is
selling American Airlines A three nineteen.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
So when Airbus three nineteen first.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Class seats, Oh wow, they are selling four seats. They
are They're fantastic. It's got like the whole power thing
in the front. It's got the trays that fold out,
it's got the beautiful fine gray Corinthian leather that everybody loves.
There's four of them. This is the most fantastic home

(17:10):
theater seating I could think of.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
You literally can put on the seatbelt.

Speaker 6 (17:14):
I mean, why sit in uncomfortable seats on a plane
when you can do that in your own living room?

Speaker 1 (17:19):
See, but this is first class. Oh this is I've
never done it. Well, never done it.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Let me begin to tell you when you sit for cat,
That's what it's like. And by the way, more people
should want to be like me, no matter what your
freaking impression is.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
I can afford a suit. Look at me, right, I
have disposable Lincoln.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
The things you mock very odd off car, that's right, Carmel,
Yeah I Carmel.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Hey, do you want people to buy your coffee or not? Absolutely?

Speaker 6 (18:00):
Disposable income is a good good thing. Proceeds go to
the Salvage Army Harbor.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Let right, Yes, I will have the link up next
week so you guys can buy a coffee because we
have some, and then we're working on making.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
This a regular thing. We really are.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
This is so fantastic. It's got the screens in the
back and everything. Are you saying that you wouldn't get these.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
No, because these chairs are hot. He's going, I mean
where do you get airport airplane seats? Yeah, I mean
how do you get a hold of them? You have
to steal them from the airplane.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Someone just took them off the airplane. Might happen.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
I'm thinking like good Fellows and a Latanza heist, except
instead of sealing anywhere from five to seven million dollars,
they actually got airlines. Yeah, this is this is Alatanza Highs.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Except for green.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
You can you can buy one of these sets of
two for one thousand, or both for fifteen hundred.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Four chairs fifteen hundred dollars.

Speaker 6 (18:58):
No, no, I don't want to spend my money on this.
First of all, I'm looking at the electrical plugins here.
There's nothing contemporary here, like a ninefox jack or anything
like that. I mean, I think I see the USB,
and how are you going to get power to the
chairs to begin with, to be able to plug something
into them?

Speaker 1 (19:13):
My dad's a TV repair man of tools.

Speaker 6 (19:17):
You can't adjust the rabbity ears and all of a
sudden get powered.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
That's not how it works. I'm telling you, these things
are awesome. You are you are so off base here.
These are They're amazing. I mean they're on wheels, what
these little pushcar things. But I don't know if that
comes with it.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
All I know is I'm thinking of getting them and
bringing them to my events and people can pay extra
to sit in the first class seats and we will
bring you peanuts and stuff.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
Okay, that's a pretty good idea, and I don't want
That's a pretty good idea, right, That's a great idea. Actually, yeah,
I would go pick them up for that. No, I
can't afford seats. I can't afford chairs. I broke my
lamp the other day and I can't afford that. So
let's uh, let's just did you really break your lamp? Yeah,
it's the whole thing fell off, and I didn't like
the lamp anyway.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Ladies and gentlemen, Ladies and gentlemen, can I have can
I have your your uh?

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Can I have your attention? Please?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
For the first time ever, I am opening up the marketplace.
Send me your lamps from the marketplace, and tomorrow we
will find a lamp for Matt Bear on Twitter x
at ninety three WIBC and Tony Katz and Matt in traffic.
Send us your lamps and we will highlight the lamps

(20:29):
that Matt Bear needs for his home.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Oh, don't ask him what he wants. What do you
want from Matt Bear's home?

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Send us your lamps tomorrow. It is I Love Lamp
Day with Matt Bear. We find him a new lamp
for his home and we will later ask how he
broke it.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
And doesn't involve oatmeal. I want a black light. If
I can get a black light, then no, do not
no black lights. Okay, nobody needs to know that. Maybe
a strobe.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Send us your lamps at ninety three WIBC Tony Kotts
at Mountain Traffic if you would.

Speaker 7 (21:02):
For far too long, Americans have been forced to put
up with Democrat run cities and set loose savage bloodthurstay
criminals to pray on innocent people, really very very innocent people.
In every place they control radical left judges, politicians, and activists,
and they've adopted a policy of catch and release for

(21:24):
thugs and killers. In Charlotte, North Carolina, we saw the
results of these policies when a twenty three year old
woman who came here from Ukraine met her bloody end
on a public train.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Tony Kautz in ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Good to
be with you, President Trump with the Oval Office address
regarding Arena z Arutsko, but really having a conversation about
what it is we're willing to accept and non accept
in the US.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Why do we accept these things? When Daniel Penny in New.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
York stop demand from men people on the train that
man died and that is a horrible story. But what
the press did was forget to mention that this man
was menacing people on a train, a threatening people on
a train.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Who knows who would have been attacked.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yes, he was mentally ill, but what does that have
to do with anything. The argument of he's mentally ill
means that a potential victim or a victim should just
take it because ah, it's not right and it's not
mathematically correct.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
That is not rational.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
The left has decided that the issue is mental illness
and there's nothing you can do about it. And if
you are to do something about it, well you've already
cut these programs. As if somehow we can't figure out
a way. Had people in the chat room there with
live stream right at nine three WIBC or WIBC YouTube
dot com slash WIBC.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Well, you've already cut this, You already cut that. You
don't want to raise taxes. How are you gonna pay
for it? What if as a society who said this,
we're willing to pay for. We're not gonna pay for
those twelve other programs that are nonsense. We're not gonna
give money to the USAID and all that garbage.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
We will pay for this because this matters, and we
could do this well, and we can protect people's rights
and protect safety.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
We can do this because we're capable.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Every argument made against it is that we are incapable.
I reject that premise. The argument is what are we
dealing with here. We're dealing with people who are criminals,
people who are violent on the streets, committing these crimes.

Speaker 7 (23:41):
And here's a.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Picture of it. This is the picture of it. And
this is a.

Speaker 7 (23:47):
Picture of the woman, a beautiful young girl that never
had problems in life, with a magnificent future in this country.
And now she's dead. She was slaughtered by a deranged
monster who was roaming free after fourteen prior arrests.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
We cannot allow it.

Speaker 7 (24:11):
Depraved criminal element of violent repeat offenders to continue spreading
destruction and death throughout our country.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Fact, we can do this. I'm not interested in naysayers.
I'm not interested in the people saying, but what, But what?
Here we are recognizing finally the issue. Why don't we
lead right here in Indiana? Why don't we do something
about this. I'm ready to have that conversation. I'm ready

(24:42):
to present the ideas. We can't come together on keeping
people safe on public transportation, will then shut down Indigo.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Otherwise, let's talk
