Speaker 1 (00:03):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC. Good morning. President Trump is
in Jerusalem, sitting in front of the Knesset as the
crowd is being introduced. You have all twenty hostages held
by Hamas in captivity for seven hundred and thirty seven
(00:24):
days since October seventh, twenty twenty three, they have been released.
That release started earlier today, approximately one am Eastern time,
with the release of seven hostages. They then came in
two other tranches we will call them, until all twenty
living hostages were released. We have twenty eight hostages that
(00:49):
they know of the remains of who have died in
the captivity of the Hamas barbarians. There is a conversation
about when those remain will be returned. President Trump arrived
in Israel just shortly after nine thirty am. That would
(01:10):
be Tel Aviv time, so two thirty am here, we're
seven hours behind here in Indiana, and has made his
way to the Kanesse, where he spoke with hostage families
for I think far longer than anybody anticipated. This speech
was supposed to have already happened. You, It was supposed
(01:32):
to have already happened two hours ago. I was awake
for it. I was covering it, waiting for it to happen.
It did not. So right now, you have, I believe
the speaker the Kanesset is who has been speaking. You
have the President of Israel, Isaac Hrtzog is a more
(01:53):
ceremonial figurehead there on the dais with President Trump, who
is now receiving a thunderous bit of applause which you
can't hear from the microphones. Trust me about the room.
And you have, of course the Prime Minister who is
there seated along with Secretary of State Mark Rubio, the
(02:14):
Secretary of War, and they did refer to him as
the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, along with the Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs, Dan raising Cain, as they call him.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Mister President, I would like to thank you that you
granted the Knesset the honor that it is the first
parliament that you are visiting in your present term. In
the Jewish tradition, we are used to bless the one
(02:49):
who gives us the honor. Thank you very much, mister President,
President Trump, honorary President. Two thousand years ago we were
exiled from our homeland, but in all the diaspora that
we never forgot.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So the female voice you're hearing is the translation. The
male voice you're hearing is the speaker in the Hebrew.
I'm a way for President Trump uh to speak right there.
My desire is to bring you as much of this
uninterrupted as possible. This is my plan to do this.
I'm going to throw off a fair amount of things
(03:37):
for the station. Uh. They can yell at me later.
So here's what we're going to do, Producer Kylon Uh.
We are going to engage our break right now. Wait,
hold on, stop. We might not if he's going to
start speaking, because I thought it was going to be
a couple of minutes before he spoke, and we can
(04:00):
get it in. I want to bring to you as
much of it as humanly possible. Some excerpts have been
released talking about not only that Israel will remain, but
that we will. They're the people who have been pushing hatred,
the people have been pushing anti Semitism. You lose, you
always lose, You will always lose. This has been part
(04:21):
This is part of the speech that was released to
the press that flew with him on Air Force one
to Tel Aviv and then the road on Route one,
if you will, up to Jerusalem. So we're waiting on
this speech to begin. Do me a favor of producer Kylin.
Let's take care of some of our great sponsors, and then
(04:42):
I'm gonna bring this back to you guys. It's breaking.
We're following it every bit of the way. Tony Katz,
you good, Kylon, you good, tell me you're good. Ninety
three WIBC.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Good morning, sure listening to continuing live covery to breaking
news from the ninety three WYB SEE Mobile News Center.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, good morning. Good to be
with you President Trump right now in Tel Aviv, I'm sorry,
in Jerusalem at the Kannesset. He will be speaking to
the Israeli Parliament and the people assembled. All twenty hostages
have now been released. They are in Israeli custody for
(05:26):
lack of a better word. Some been reunited with families,
some have connected via telephone or via video. These more
and more are going to come out. Right now. You
have the President of Israel, Isaac Hertzog there on the
dais with I believe that is the speaker there for
the Kannessean and President Trump and the accolades pouring in.
(05:51):
Secretary Rubio is there, Secretary Hegseth, the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs, Dan Cain, is there, along with the Israeli ambassador,
US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee. I'm going to bring
you President Trump's speech in full as much as I can,
but first let's check traffic right now. So as they
are speaking, we have learned some things. We certainly have
(06:14):
learned that luckily, fortunately the twenty remaining hostages that were
thought to be alive were indeed alive. I have not
yet seen any reporting that shows that any of them
had to be immediately airlifted to other hospitals. There was
(06:36):
the plan was there were three hospitals where they would
be taken to be immediately checked. Certainly, one would not
trust Tomas on any level, and should not trust Maas
on any level. If there were people who had serious issues,
felt to be immediate issues, they would be airlifted to
other hospitals. That does not seem to have taken place,
(07:00):
which I am very happy to hear about. Meanwhile, you
have Hamas threatening Gossin's release. Absolutely no information, no photo,
no video, no statement, no anything about the hostage transfer
because we don't want Israelis, we don't want the Americans,
we don't want the world to know how we were
able to keep these people in tunnels so hidden for
over two years. Meanwhile, Hamas is having its issues with
(07:26):
other factions that is taking place. One of these factions,
you may have heard some of these, some of these
stories where there was a fight that took the lives
of fifty four of what's known as this Dogmush clan
(07:52):
dog Mush clan or is it pronounced Dumash dermish Dumash
dumish I belie this is the proper pronunciation. These are
all these are Islamis against Islamists, and these Islamists killed
a so called journalist by the name of Salah Jaffa Rawi. Again,
(08:16):
my pronunciations not perfect. There. This is a guy who
was anti Israel, anti Zionist, engaged in the misinformation UH.
He was known in circles online as mister f a
f O. He was killed in this fighting in with
(08:40):
these two clans. Hamas is trying very very very hard
in order to have a level of power and consistency
in the area. They are working over time to increase
(09:05):
their levels of control.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
What I'm watching for is what Hamas is doing on
the ground right now inside Gaza. It is consolidating control.
Reports on the ground say it's rounding people up, killing
other Palestinians that might present a threat. There have been
some Palestinian tribal families that have worked with the Israelis,
(09:30):
worked with the American backed aid agency that has tried
to get aided to Gazan's and anything that represents a
challenge to Hamas's power seems to make it a target
right now, That's going to be a real challenge for
whatever security force they decide on in Egypt. The leaders
(09:53):
can say, hey, we're going to send various different peacekeeping
forces in, but those peacekeeping versus may have to fight
to get territory back from Hamas. That could create violence
that gives Israel a chance to restart the war again.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Now I think it's an ugly statement from CNN there
talking about Israel restarting a war. Israel never started the war,
which is of course the entirety of the conversation. Israel
never started the war. Hamas started the war. Every rational
person knows this. But when you take a look at
(10:34):
your social media feed, which of course could drive you
to drink. You will see that they cannot accept that
Hamas started this war. They cannot accept that Hamas lied
about everything. Let me give you one of many examples.
This is the story about how Hamas said that there
(10:57):
were four hundred thousand missing Powersalestinians because of the Israeli response.
Now we're hearing they report ninety five hundred missing under
the rubble, from four one hundred thousand to ninety five hundred.
It's like how the Gaza Health Ministry reports on the
(11:20):
injured or killed. The Gaza Health Ministry is Hamas. Who
would believe these liars, these frauds, these terrorists, these monsters,
well the American left would believe them. I mean, they
obviously have the Gaza Health Ministry. Hamas never distinguished between
civilians and militants. You can't have a number that way,
(11:44):
It's impossible, it cannot be done, So you don't have it.
And there are people out there right here in Indianapolis
and across the state and across the country. You would
quote these numbers as if somehow they meant anything, when
of course they were all a lie every step of
(12:05):
the way. What else did we learn? And the reporting
from the New York Times every now and again like
the indie star. They hit it in August of twenty
twenty two, as reported Yaya Sinhwar, who was the leader
of Hamas who was killed. They had the drone strike
(12:25):
and you could actually see him. Sinowar authored in twenty
twenty two a document envisioning quote brutal attacks of aggression
against Israeli civilians and soldiers civilians. The plan was always
to go after civilians. And the lie that the left
(12:47):
tells here in the United States and around the globe
is no one every went after civilians. These are all soldiers.
What are you talking about? They're not all soldiers. Of
the twenty alive returned, I believe only two were active duty.
Everybody else was enjoying a concert. Sinowar called, as the
(13:09):
reporting goes, for militants to destroy civilian neighborhoods by dousing
them with gasoline before setting them on fire, as well
as to broadcast the violin acts so as to evoke
fear in Israelis and to stabilize the country. Wanted to
burn down the villages, wanted to burn down the cities,
wanted to burn down. The people wanted to take video
(13:30):
of it all, document it all, share it with the
world to instill fear. They worked aggressively, not to hide
what they were doing, but to show it off. And
yet I've got Jesse Brown, the City County councilor from Indianapolis,
wearing a cafea somehow he's in solidarity. I've got these
(13:54):
fools Jewish Voice for Peace. They're not Jews. Stop it.
It's like chickens for KFC. As Benjamin not Naho said,
pushing this idea of oh look what Israel's doing. Hamas
did this. Every single thing we knew about their intentions,
(14:16):
about their desires, factual, every single thing. I am going
to get to President Trump's speech. Still you have the
speaker of the Kanesset speaking, and I think now he
might be turning it over to President Trump. Now it's weird,
(14:37):
is he's not standing as he speaks. They stand to
do round of applause. He's sitting while he gives that speech,
which is very very interesting in its presentational style. No, no, no,
he's he's still he's still going. One of the other
(15:00):
stories that we are following because we are following some
other stories is how the markets went a little silly
when Trump said, you know what, if you're gonna do
this on rare earth minerals and create such a choke
hold on rare earth minerals, you know what. I uh,
I got no interest in meeting with you. I'm good, thanks,
We're fine, to which China said, Hey, that's not the
(15:23):
way to the friends act and share with each other. Oh,
we're just protecting our own. Don't be mad at us,
to which Trump then put one hundred percent tariff on,
to which China said, what are you doing, to which
Trump siday, guys in the markets, don't worry about it.
President g just made a little booboo, made a little error.
We'll be back to fine. We'll be back to square.
Benjamin Ett and Yahoo is now speaking. Let's check traffic
(15:46):
quickly with Matt Bhaer and then we will get to
the Prime Minister.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
You're listening to continuing live covery to breaking news.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Forty eight degrees in the American standard cooling weather center.
It is six twenty six the President of the United
States in Jerusalem in front of Knesset, right of the Knesset,
the Israeli parliament. Right now Benjamin and Yaho speaking, we
remember our we know in the Hebrew with the translation.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Your important part, and it determines the return of the
in this day when we were today an hour ago,
all our lives returned back to us. What excitement.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I will let Benjamin and Yahoo continue his conversation there
in front of the Kannessset. We'll take the short break.
When President Trump begins speaking, we will bring it right back.
Tony Katz ninety three w ib C. Good morning. All
twenty living hostages have been returned. This start at one
am our time, right here in Indiana. This was eight
(17:03):
am Tel Aviv time. Hostage is starting to be released,
first seven, then in two other tranches, twenty living hostages,
all of them returned to Israel. Now a question of
whether or not we will be able to or the
Israel will be able to get back all of the remains,
whether or not that will be seen by the world.
(17:26):
President Trump then headed to the Kanesset, where he met
with hostage families, and right now, more than two hours late,
is gearing up to speak in front of the Knesset.
He is the fourth American president to do so, the
fourth American president to speak in front of the canessset.
It was Jimmy Carter in nineteen seventy nine, Bill Clinton
(17:49):
in nineteen ninety four, and George W. Bush in two
thousand and eight, Donald Trump being the fourth. Right now,
it is Benjamin Ettini, who the Prime Minister, who has
switched from the Hebrew to the English. Remember he was
educated in the United States, speaking about his thanks to
President Trump, the greatest friend Israel has ever had in
(18:13):
the White House, all the things that he has done.
Many minute now I'm making a list of things Trump
has done for Israel and speaking now.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Why did God save me? Mister President, my friend Donald.
I've seen some very tough things in my life, but
I couldn't bring myself to watch those boys suffering again.
So I didn't see this film except once. It's Sabin.
(18:49):
Their mother has had the strength and fortitude to show
this film across the world and my wife Sarah, and
I asked her, Sabina, how do you do it? Why
do you do it? And she answered, I do it
(19:11):
to show the entire world the monsters Israel is fighting
and the justice of our cause. This is what she's
doing once again in Los Angeles, Sabin, you can hear
me now, so I want to tell you on behalf
of all of us. You embody the spirit of our
biblical heroines Deborah, Ruth and Esther. You too are the
(19:34):
spirit of Israel, and we all salute you. Mister President.
You asked me on our many conversations during the twelve
(19:56):
day war with Iran, you ask me, how are the
peace people holding up? And I said to you, our
people are strong. Israeli is our nation of alliance with
unlimited resolve to defend our country and secure our future.
The people, the people give strength to our soldiers, and
(20:18):
the people give strength to me and to my colleagues.
The Jewish people have risen from the ashes time and again.
But when we formed the State of Israel and the
Army of Israel, we pledged never again, never again, would
be defenseless against our enemies. And that that resolute strength
(20:42):
not only assures our survival, it assures our future, it
assures peace.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
So the Prime Minister will keep speaking and then turn
it over to the President. There speaking at the Kanas
said I'm going to bring it to you. Keep it here.
We will break in the minute. Every second the President
starts speaking. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC. Good morning, get
back to it. We've been covering the President Donald Trump.
(21:11):
He is an Israel right now as the Prime Minister
of Israel Benjamin at Yahoo speaks.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
And President Trump's unmatched global leadership. I have to tell you,
I've seen a lot of American presidents, seen them all
in the time that I've been here, and I've been
here quite a lot of time. I've never seen anyone
move the world so quickly, so decisively, so resolutely as
(21:42):
our friend, President Donald J.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Trump. All twenty hostages have now been returned. Those who
are alive. All twenty hostages are now in Israel, being
looked at at hospital, being reunited with family. And the
word on the street is that Donald is about to
(22:06):
become the biggest name in all of Israel. In ten years,
every single kid is going to be named Donald, including
the girls. It's just going to be the name. So
the heaping of the praise is happening, and certainly a
reminder that there are still threats out there. The President
from here heads to Egypt. He'll be heading to Charmel Sheek,
(22:30):
where there is going to be a security conference that
takes place. This was supposed to be small, and this
has grown. I believe there are now twenty countries that
are involved. It was that Benjamin Etna, who was going
to attend, is now not going to attend. According to
two sources, he won't be there a George Holiday that
takes place starting this evening. That's what he is citing
(22:53):
as his reason not for being there. Now, while this
is going on, we should be clear we're gonna bring
you whatever it is. President Trump has to say, I'm
gonna try and bring it to you in full, in
every single way. There are some other news stories that
are taking a place. The shutdown is still going on.
(23:17):
I know, shocking but true. And from what we're hearing,
we're now hearing about those federal workers being fired. The
White House Budget off is saying that mass firings of
federal workers have started. Now. Some argue this is the
(23:41):
attempt to get the Democrats to come to the table maybe,
or this is smart policy one on the ear. You
can take your pick. You can take your pick of
whether you think this is about pressure or just good policy.
Do we need these people? The Budget Office saying in
a court filing, well over four thousand employers would be fired,
(24:03):
but the situation is fluid and rapidly evolving, meaning the
funding situation Treasury would lose fourteen hundred, Health and Human
Services lose eleven hundred, Education and Housing would each lose
over four hundred staffers. Then you have Commerce, Energy, Homeland Security,
and need the EPA. They were all going to fire
(24:24):
hundreds if they aren't necessary. Let them go. Not angry
with them, not upset with them. But I do not
need to pay anybody who is not essential for my
safety or survival. And with that, you can just stop
paying everybody in the Department of Education. We don't need
(24:47):
that anymore. It doesn't work, it doesn't provide any value.
We don't have to kid ourselves, we don't have to
lie to ourselves. The Department of Education does not bring
us ungats, So let's not act like it does. Let's
not act like our kids are better off, that the
education is that much better. It's not, and we know
(25:09):
it's not. I favor this move. Let me give you
another move that I favor. I favor redistricting. Ladies and gentlemen,
we ten thousand percent should be doing so. Jadie Vance
was in town last week and then you hear Republicans
(25:29):
are saying, well, we should be taking a look at this,
and the head of the Republican Party is saying, well,
we should be really focused on this. I have heard
every argument, and I must tell you I find the
arguments lacking. They're focused on this and not property taxes.
Take ten thousand people, ten thousand Hoosiers walking to the
(25:52):
Capitol and demand a special session on property taxes. Don't
leave until they do it. Take over every office peacefully,
of course, don't leave until they do it. They ain't
(26:15):
holding a special session because they ain't afraid of you.
Now you tell me, Tony what that's not toning down
the rhetoric. Okay, First, I don't believe in toning down
the rhetoric. I want to be perfectly clear about that,
and I will explain why. I will get to that
in full on Tony Kats today at noon. This toning
(26:38):
down the rhetoric nonsense for our entire history. If you
want to get the attention of your lawmaker, you gotta
make sure you get their attention. Does that mean be physical?
Gosh no, Does that mean pressure? Absolutely, that's ratcheting up
(26:59):
the record rhetoric. Get bent. I would tell anybody in
the Republican Party. Of course, it's about pressure. It's about
the difference between the thermostat and the thermometer. The politician
is the thermometer. They measure the temperature. The people are
the thermostat. They raise and lower the temperature. I've been
saying this for years. Not about to apologize it, not
about to stop. Go get it done. Stop telling me
(27:22):
about it and anything happened to do with property taxes, which,
by the way, I wholeheartedly agree are criminally insane. They're nuts.
And if anybody thinks that we did a good job
this year, you're out of your heads. You screwed the
pooch and you know it. And for the cities to
(27:44):
say we're losing money here, we're losing money there, We
hear you, we're paying more. We feel like we're getting less.
Could you stop being adversarial with Hoosiers for just five minutes,
that would be great. I have a special session on
property taxes and a special session on redistricting, because redistricting
(28:05):
is the conversation about what kind of future do we
want as a nation and what it is we have
allowed to happen regarding our representation and how our representation works.
Of course we should be redistricting. Well, it's unpopular and
it's going to rally the Democrats. Well are the Democrats
(28:26):
to what? I'll get into that. But right now President
Trump is about to take the lectern. Let's do a
quick check on traffic. Matt Bear, what you got for us?
So President Trump taking to the well, I thought he
was going to take to the lectern, but no, we've
(28:48):
got somebody else taken to the lectern right now. The
President will speak soon, he is there at the Kanesset.
Of course, the Israeli hostages have been freed all twenty
now in his back home in Israel, So we will
get to that. We will take as much of the
break as we can right now. When the President starts speaking,
(29:10):
we will jump back in. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC,
Good morning,
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC. Good morning. President Trump is
in Jerusalem, sitting in front of the Knesset as the

have the President of Israel, Isaac Hrtzog is a more

ceremonial figurehead there on the dais with President Trump, who
is now receiving a thunderous bit of applause which you
can't hear from the microphones. Trust me about the room.
And you have, of course the Prime Minister who is

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Good morning, sure listening to continuing live covery to breaking

(07:26):
other factions that is taking place. One of these factions,
you may have heard some of these, some of these
stories where there was a fight that took the lives
of fifty four of what's known as this Dogmush clan
(07:52):
dog Mush clan or is it pronounced Dumash dermish Dumash
dumish I belie this is the proper pronunciation. These are
all these are Islamis against Islamists, and these Islamists killed
a so called journalist by the name of Salah Jaffa Rawi. Again,
(08:16):
my pronunciations not perfect. There. This is a guy who
was anti Israel, anti Zionist, engaged in the misinformation UH.
He was known in circles online as mister f a
f O. He was killed in this fighting in with
(08:40):
these two clans. Hamas is trying very very very hard
in order to have a level of power and consistency
in the area. They are working over time to increase
(09:05):
their levels of control.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
What I'm watching for is what Hamas is doing on
the ground right now inside Gaza. It is consolidating control.
Reports on the ground say it's rounding people up, killing
other Palestinians that might present a threat. There have been
some Palestinian tribal families that have worked with the Israelis,
(09:30):
worked with the American backed aid agency that has tried
to get aided to Gazan's and anything that represents a
challenge to Hamas's power seems to make it a target
right now, That's going to be a real challenge for
whatever security force they decide on in Egypt. The leaders
(09:53):
can say, hey, we're going to send various different peacekeeping
forces in, but those peacekeeping versus may have to fight
to get territory back from Hamas. That could create violence
that gives Israel a chance to restart the war again.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Now I think it's an ugly statement from CNN there
talking about Israel restarting a war. Israel never started the war,
which is of course the entirety of the conversation. Israel
never started the war. Hamas started the war. Every rational
person knows this. But when you take a look at
(10:34):
your social media feed, which of course could drive you
to drink. You will see that they cannot accept that
Hamas started this war. They cannot accept that Hamas lied
about everything. Let me give you one of many examples.
This is the story about how Hamas said that there
(10:57):
were four hundred thousand missing Powersalestinians because of the Israeli response.
Now we're hearing they report ninety five hundred missing under
the rubble, from four one hundred thousand to ninety five hundred.
It's like how the Gaza Health Ministry reports on the
(11:20):
injured or killed. The Gaza Health Ministry is Hamas. Who
would believe these liars, these frauds, these terrorists, these monsters,
well the American left would believe them. I mean, they
obviously have the Gaza Health Ministry. Hamas never distinguished between
civilians and militants. You can't have a number that way,
(11:44):
It's impossible, it cannot be done, So you don't have it.
And there are people out there right here in Indianapolis
and across the state and across the country. You would
quote these numbers as if somehow they meant anything, when
of course they were all a lie every step of
(12:05):
the way. What else did we learn? And the reporting
from the New York Times every now and again like
the indie star. They hit it in August of twenty
twenty two, as reported Yaya Sinhwar, who was the leader
of Hamas who was killed. They had the drone strike
(12:25):
and you could actually see him. Sinowar authored in twenty
twenty two a document envisioning quote brutal attacks of aggression
against Israeli civilians and soldiers civilians. The plan was always
to go after civilians. And the lie that the left
(12:47):
tells here in the United States and around the globe
is no one every went after civilians. These are all soldiers.
What are you talking about? They're not all soldiers. Of
the twenty alive returned, I believe only two were active duty.
Everybody else was enjoying a concert. Sinowar called, as the
(13:09):
reporting goes, for militants to destroy civilian neighborhoods by dousing
them with gasoline before setting them on fire, as well
as to broadcast the violin acts so as to evoke
fear in Israelis and to stabilize the country. Wanted to
burn down the villages, wanted to burn down the cities,
wanted to burn down. The people wanted to take video
(13:30):
of it all, document it all, share it with the
world to instill fear. They worked aggressively, not to hide
what they were doing, but to show it off. And
yet I've got Jesse Brown, the City County councilor from Indianapolis,
wearing a cafea somehow he's in solidarity. I've got these
(13:54):
fools Jewish Voice for Peace. They're not Jews. Stop it.
It's like chickens for KFC. As Benjamin not Naho said,
pushing this idea of oh look what Israel's doing. Hamas
did this. Every single thing we knew about their intentions,
(14:16):
about their desires, factual, every single thing. I am going
to get to President Trump's speech. Still you have the
speaker of the Kanesset speaking, and I think now he
might be turning it over to President Trump. Now it's weird,
(14:37):
is he's not standing as he speaks. They stand to
do round of applause. He's sitting while he gives that speech,
which is very very interesting in its presentational style. No, no, no,
he's he's still he's still going. One of the other
(15:00):
stories that we are following because we are following some
other stories is how the markets went a little silly
when Trump said, you know what, if you're gonna do
this on rare earth minerals and create such a choke
hold on rare earth minerals, you know what. I uh,
I got no interest in meeting with you. I'm good, thanks,
We're fine, to which China said, Hey, that's not the
(15:23):
way to the friends act and share with each other. Oh,
we're just protecting our own. Don't be mad at us,
to which Trump then put one hundred percent tariff on,
to which China said, what are you doing, to which
Trump siday, guys in the markets, don't worry about it.
President g just made a little booboo, made a little error.
We'll be back to fine. We'll be back to square.
Benjamin Ett and Yahoo is now speaking. Let's check traffic
(15:46):
quickly with Matt Bhaer and then we will get to
the Prime Minister.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
You're listening to continuing live covery to breaking news.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Forty eight degrees in the American standard cooling weather center.
It is six twenty six the President of the United
States in Jerusalem in front of Knesset, right of the Knesset,
the Israeli parliament. Right now Benjamin and Yaho speaking, we
remember our we know in the Hebrew with the translation.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Your important part, and it determines the return of the
in this day when we were today an hour ago,
all our lives returned back to us. What excitement.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I will let Benjamin and Yahoo continue his conversation there
in front of the Kannessset. We'll take the short break.
When President Trump begins speaking, we will bring it right back.
Tony Katz ninety three w ib C. Good morning. All
twenty living hostages have been returned. This start at one
am our time, right here in Indiana. This was eight
(17:03):
am Tel Aviv time. Hostage is starting to be released,
first seven, then in two other tranches, twenty living hostages,
all of them returned to Israel. Now a question of
whether or not we will be able to or the
Israel will be able to get back all of the remains,
whether or not that will be seen by the world.
(17:26):
President Trump then headed to the Kanesset, where he met
with hostage families, and right now, more than two hours late,
is gearing up to speak in front of the Knesset.
He is the fourth American president to do so, the
fourth American president to speak in front of the canessset.
It was Jimmy Carter in nineteen seventy nine, Bill Clinton
(17:49):
in nineteen ninety four, and George W. Bush in two
thousand and eight, Donald Trump being the fourth. Right now,
it is Benjamin Ettini, who the Prime Minister, who has
switched from the Hebrew to the English. Remember he was
educated in the United States, speaking about his thanks to
President Trump, the greatest friend Israel has ever had in
(18:13):
the White House, all the things that he has done.
Many minute now I'm making a list of things Trump
has done for Israel and speaking now.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Why did God save me? Mister President, my friend Donald.
I've seen some very tough things in my life, but
I couldn't bring myself to watch those boys suffering again.
So I didn't see this film except once. It's Sabin.
(18:49):
Their mother has had the strength and fortitude to show
this film across the world and my wife Sarah, and
I asked her, Sabina, how do you do it? Why
do you do it? And she answered, I do it
(19:11):
to show the entire world the monsters Israel is fighting
and the justice of our cause. This is what she's
doing once again in Los Angeles, Sabin, you can hear
me now, so I want to tell you on behalf
of all of us. You embody the spirit of our
biblical heroines Deborah, Ruth and Esther. You too are the
(19:34):
spirit of Israel, and we all salute you. Mister President.
You asked me on our many conversations during the twelve
(19:56):
day war with Iran, you ask me, how are the
peace people holding up? And I said to you, our
people are strong. Israeli is our nation of alliance with
unlimited resolve to defend our country and secure our future.
The people, the people give strength to our soldiers, and
(20:18):
the people give strength to me and to my colleagues.
The Jewish people have risen from the ashes time and again.
But when we formed the State of Israel and the
Army of Israel, we pledged never again, never again, would
be defenseless against our enemies. And that that resolute strength
(20:42):
not only assures our survival, it assures our future, it
assures peace.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
So the Prime Minister will keep speaking and then turn
it over to the President. There speaking at the Kanas
said I'm going to bring it to you. Keep it here.
We will break in the minute. Every second the President
starts speaking. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC. Good morning, get
back to it. We've been covering the President Donald Trump.
(21:11):
He is an Israel right now as the Prime Minister
of Israel Benjamin at Yahoo speaks.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
And President Trump's unmatched global leadership. I have to tell you,
I've seen a lot of American presidents, seen them all
in the time that I've been here, and I've been
here quite a lot of time. I've never seen anyone
move the world so quickly, so decisively, so resolutely as
(21:42):
our friend, President Donald J.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Trump. All twenty hostages have now been returned. Those who
are alive. All twenty hostages are now in Israel, being
looked at at hospital, being reunited with family. And the
word on the street is that Donald is about to
(22:06):
become the biggest name in all of Israel. In ten years,
every single kid is going to be named Donald, including
the girls. It's just going to be the name. So
the heaping of the praise is happening, and certainly a
reminder that there are still threats out there. The President
from here heads to Egypt. He'll be heading to Charmel Sheek,
(22:30):
where there is going to be a security conference that
takes place. This was supposed to be small, and this
has grown. I believe there are now twenty countries that
are involved. It was that Benjamin Etna, who was going
to attend, is now not going to attend. According to
two sources, he won't be there a George Holiday that
takes place starting this evening. That's what he is citing
(22:53):
as his reason not for being there. Now, while this
is going on, we should be clear we're gonna bring
you whatever it is. President Trump has to say, I'm
gonna try and bring it to you in full, in
every single way. There are some other news stories that
are taking a place. The shutdown is still going on.
(23:17):
I know, shocking but true. And from what we're hearing,
we're now hearing about those federal workers being fired. The
White House Budget off is saying that mass firings of
federal workers have started. Now. Some argue this is the
(23:41):
attempt to get the Democrats to come to the table maybe,
or this is smart policy one on the ear. You
can take your pick. You can take your pick of
whether you think this is about pressure or just good policy.
Do we need these people? The Budget Office saying in
a court filing, well over four thousand employers would be fired,
(24:03):
but the situation is fluid and rapidly evolving, meaning the
funding situation Treasury would lose fourteen hundred, Health and Human
Services lose eleven hundred, Education and Housing would each lose
over four hundred staffers. Then you have Commerce, Energy, Homeland Security,
and need the EPA. They were all going to fire
(24:24):
hundreds if they aren't necessary. Let them go. Not angry
with them, not upset with them. But I do not
need to pay anybody who is not essential for my
safety or survival. And with that, you can just stop
paying everybody in the Department of Education. We don't need
(24:47):
that anymore. It doesn't work, it doesn't provide any value.
We don't have to kid ourselves, we don't have to
lie to ourselves. The Department of Education does not bring
us ungats, So let's not act like it does. Let's
not act like our kids are better off, that the
education is that much better. It's not, and we know
(25:09):
it's not. I favor this move. Let me give you
another move that I favor. I favor redistricting. Ladies and gentlemen,
we ten thousand percent should be doing so. Jadie Vance
was in town last week and then you hear Republicans
(25:29):
are saying, well, we should be taking a look at this,
and the head of the Republican Party is saying, well,
we should be really focused on this. I have heard
every argument, and I must tell you I find the
arguments lacking. They're focused on this and not property taxes.
Take ten thousand people, ten thousand Hoosiers walking to the
(25:52):
Capitol and demand a special session on property taxes. Don't
leave until they do it. Take over every office peacefully,
of course, don't leave until they do it. They ain't
(26:15):
holding a special session because they ain't afraid of you.
Now you tell me, Tony what that's not toning down
the rhetoric. Okay, First, I don't believe in toning down
the rhetoric. I want to be perfectly clear about that,
and I will explain why. I will get to that
in full on Tony Kats today at noon. This toning
(26:38):
down the rhetoric nonsense for our entire history. If you
want to get the attention of your lawmaker, you gotta
make sure you get their attention. Does that mean be physical?
Gosh no, Does that mean pressure? Absolutely, that's ratcheting up
(26:59):
the record rhetoric. Get bent. I would tell anybody in
the Republican Party. Of course, it's about pressure. It's about
the difference between the thermostat and the thermometer. The politician
is the thermometer. They measure the temperature. The people are
the thermostat. They raise and lower the temperature. I've been
saying this for years. Not about to apologize it, not
about to stop. Go get it done. Stop telling me
(27:22):
about it and anything happened to do with property taxes, which,
by the way, I wholeheartedly agree are criminally insane. They're nuts.
And if anybody thinks that we did a good job
this year, you're out of your heads. You screwed the
pooch and you know it. And for the cities to
(27:44):
say we're losing money here, we're losing money there, We
hear you, we're paying more. We feel like we're getting less.
Could you stop being adversarial with Hoosiers for just five minutes,
that would be great. I have a special session on
property taxes and a special session on redistricting, because redistricting
(28:05):
is the conversation about what kind of future do we
want as a nation and what it is we have
allowed to happen regarding our representation and how our representation works.
Of course we should be redistricting. Well, it's unpopular and
it's going to rally the Democrats. Well are the Democrats
(28:26):
to what? I'll get into that. But right now President
Trump is about to take the lectern. Let's do a
quick check on traffic. Matt Bear, what you got for us?
So President Trump taking to the well, I thought he
was going to take to the lectern, but no, we've
(28:48):
got somebody else taken to the lectern right now. The
President will speak soon, he is there at the Kanesset.
Of course, the Israeli hostages have been freed all twenty
now in his back home in Israel, So we will
get to that. We will take as much of the
break as we can right now. When the President starts speaking,
(29:10):
we will jump back in. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC,
Good morning,
