Speaker 1 (00:15):
I have no idea what the Republicans are going to
do now, I have no idea why President Trump decided.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna put out
a lengthy.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Social media post that says we should nuke the filibuster.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Okay, sure, sure.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
If caving to the Democrats are giving them exactly what
they want so they can get control of the Senate
and then have a nuked filibuster, is what you want?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Go right ahead.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Good to be
with you. President Trump put out a post on truth
social saying do this. Why are we allowing this to happen?
We need to get the country running again. I don't disagree.
John Thune is already on record saying he will protect

(01:06):
the filibuster, thus requiring the threshold to end debate at
sixty votes, preventing a simple majority from making things happen
in the Senate. And here comes President Trump saying why
are we doing this? It's time to play the Trump

(01:31):
card and go for what is called the nuclear option.
Get rid of the filibuster, and get rid of it now.
Never have the Democrats fought so hard to do something
because they knew the tremendous strength that terminating the filibuster
would give them. They want to substantially expand and pack
the US Supreme Court, make Washington, d c. And Puerto
Rico states, thereby picking up Senate seats and House seats

(01:54):
and many other highly destructive things. Well, now we are
in power, and if we did what we should be doing,
it immediately end this ridiculous, country destroying shutdown if the
Democrats ever came back into power, which would be made
easier for them. If the Republicans are not using the
great strength and policies made available to us by ending
the filibuster, the Democrats who exercise their rights and will

(02:14):
be done in the first day they take office.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Regardless of whether or not we do it.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Okay, you have Democrats saying that this is going to
end after the election, which is the New Jersey governor's race.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
In the Virginia governor's race.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Maybe you have Democrats looking at their party and saying
you're gross. And President Trump is more concerned about the
talking of trolls on social media. I have nothing left
to offer, guys on this subject. Republicans handled everything perfectly.

(02:59):
This is all the.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Fault of Chuck Schumer. Ten.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Trump pulled the rug and the floor and the floorboards
and the basic foundation out from the Republicans who now
have to look at him and say, we're not getting
rid of the filibuster, and so now they got to
fight a two front war. I don't think they can
do that. I have no idea how they think they're

(03:24):
going to respond.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
What I know is.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Trump took victory and said not today, Satan can it'
spin ho.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
We'll get into that, but I have no idea why
he would do this none.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
And his acolytes, well, they're going to say, yeah, we
should do this. This is not strategy. That's that's my
first take. I'll dig deeper in a little bit. Tony Katz,
ninety three ib C. Good morning, soybeans. Oh I know
it's Halloween. I was just saying, I'm dressing up as

(04:09):
a soybean. It's my very on top of the news
cycle costume.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
No.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Tony Katz at ninety three w ib C, Good morning,
good to be with you. As reported by News Nations,
soybean farmers are grateful for Trump's trade.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Deal with China.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
I would assume they're grateful when they see dollars coming in.
We've been through this and it's not that I don't
want this. I desperately want this. I want it for
our farmers right here and across the country.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
You have got this.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Deal where Trump Trump was just in Asia, he's back.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
They're gonna buy soybeans again.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
They promised to buy at least twenty five million metric
ton tons of soybeans annually for the next three years.
Now to the soybean farmers or any farmers in general
who know the subject, Tony and tonycats dot com. We
haven't done a farmer's roundtable on a long time.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I think we're due.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
But is compared to what is normally purchased by China?
Can someone give me a kind of understanding of twenty
five million metric tons?

Speaker 2 (05:30):
What it sounds like is a lot, you know normally.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
That's the answer to the question of how much light
beer has Nigel consumed in his lifetime?

Speaker 2 (05:42):
What is twenty five million metric tons? But I don't
know what it is.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Comparatively speaking to what China would buy in any given
year or in any level of historical average. Anybody can
get me that information, I'd love it. Now we have
something to compare it to. People are just gonna say,
look how much they're gonna buy.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
I don't know how much they used to buy before.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
And people who aren't farmers like me, how do you
even associate that to anything? Just repeat a number and
just decide, well, that's good as reporting goes from the
associated present. That's why I want to double check it.
China's going to buy twelve million metric tons between now

(06:32):
in January. That's half the typical annual volume. So clearly
I'm on to something with this subject. But I can
understand the concept of grateful. It's a step in the
right direction with all of these trade deals. I don't
think people should be hitting on Trump for saying, okay,
we've got a framework here, we've got an opportunity here,

(06:54):
far more than you got from Biden. What you should
be asking is when does the salts show in all
of these trade deals?

Speaker 2 (07:03):
The result is what matters, and so now how do
we get there? How do we see that.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
A step in the right direction? That's good. There are
some discussions about how even though they're buying, the pricing
isn't right and Swabean farmers are going.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
To lose out. There's a lot here and tonyatonycats dot com.
I want to hear everything. I want to go.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
I want to go to Soybean School and I want
to understand what it is that we're dealing with. It's
like Operation Arctic Frost, the document dumps that have been
going on, where the Biden Justice Department, via Jack Smith,
the Special Council going after and investigating conservative activists, donors,

(07:57):
organization centators. What they were investigating ding Senator Ted Cruz
two thousand pages of subpoenas issued by the Central Council
Jack Smith for their targets banking, data, communications and other informations.

(08:17):
Now it's two thousand pages of subpoenas. It's one hundred
and ninety seven subpoenas, so pages versus the total number
of subpoenas was about show me the man, and I'll
show you the crime. They didn't have crimes, they were
just looking for them. They didn't have inklings of crimes,
they were just looking for them. The Department of Justice

(08:40):
surveiled Senator Ted Cruz's office landline that got revealed in
a press conference on Wednesday, and the six attorneys who
signed the subpoenas are no longer employed by the Department
of Justice. Was there any question that the Biden administration

(09:03):
DOJ under Merrick Garland was engaged in a political attack
against their opponents? The answer is no. Well, Trump's engaged
in a political attack. He at least tells you he's
doing the attacking. We're not sending the DOJ to engage

(09:25):
in a clandestine operation to surveil you. This is not
the first time this has happened. And the Bidens want
to say, and the Democrats want to say, my gosh,
scandal free. Oh holy hell, it wasn't scandal free when
they found Hunter's coke in the White House. I'm saying

(09:48):
it was Hunter's coke. That's my take. That is my take.
It was Hunter's. If you want to prove it me wrong, show.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Me the videos.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Oh wait, the video doesn't show who put cocaine in
a cubby, of course it doesn't. Well, why would that
be the only place in the White House that doesn't
have a camera on it?

Speaker 2 (10:12):
That and whatever the private room.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Is off the Oval office where Bill Clinton could get
a little extra curricular.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Only two places that don't have a camera.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Gosh, and then sorry, I know it's a story about
the royals.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
It doesn't matter. It's a great story King.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Charles lowering the freaking boom on Andrew, who is no
longer a prince Andrew his brother.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
He is now Andrew mount Batten Windsor.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Lost the title and lost the home. This because of
Jeffrey Epstein. By the way, released the Epstein files. I
don't know what we're waiting for. Oh, if we can
nuke the filibuster, we can release Epstein files.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
What does it all matter?

Speaker 1 (11:01):
People very often on social media will be like, you
just don't want to release the Epstein files.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I'm like, I, you've never listened to this show at all.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
From day one, clear record, of course, release the Epstein files.
Everything that you can release, you should release. Are people
going to be mentioned to are innocent? Absolutely true? Just
because you're listed doesn't mean you're guilty of anything. That's
what investigations are about. Who was engaged in the sexual impropriety?

(11:29):
If we know that answer, I want people in jail. Andrew,
it seems, was involved in the sexual impropriety, and he
will not say he did it. He's denying everything, and
the Palace has said their majesties wish to make clear
that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been and will
remain with the victims and survivors of any and all

(11:50):
forms of abuse. So he lost the lease to his house.
He is no longer prince, and he's going to be
moving to a private estate and the King is going
to basically pay the rent. That's what I don't I

(12:13):
don't even know what that's comparative to. Right, is that
like when a college loses it's it's football team and
they're given the death sentence and they're they're not allowed
to do it. It's it's like that, it's over It's
over all. The protection that Queen Elizabeth gave him is gone.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Gone. Now you say to me, Tony Royals, I don't care.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
I'm discussing how Andrew must see this thing, the Charmed.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Life all gone something else.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
I appreciate the soybean farmers that are reaching out. Ducer
Carr will be in touch. While we're gonna get together.
I gotta get I gotta get an understanding, make sure
I see it the way I see it. Major Mike
Lons scheduled be with us on Tony Katz today at
noon because President Trump has said we need to start

(13:13):
doing some nuclear testing. We need to retest, be testing
our nuclear weapons stockpile, and people are losing their minds.
And I put forward to you that the people losing
their minds have no idea what is in our nuclear
stockpile and whether or not these things need to be
tested at all. They simply have a reaction. And reaction

(13:35):
is not intellect. Reaction is emotional problem from children. I
reached out to people and the response has been, yeah, yeah,
you got to test these things. We're actually overdue. The

(13:57):
constant continual refrain of I can't believe Trump is doing this.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
It's so freaking boring.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
And what it is meant to do is to put
you on this heightened state of alert, so everything is
always shocking all the time. And no one ever asked
a question, well should you test these things? I'm told
I have to test the batteries and my smoke detector

(14:27):
every six months. Is it really so crazy to think
that you might have to test a nuclear weapon?

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Well, we shouldn't have nuclear weapons.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
It would be a different argument than whether or not
we need to test them, because the other guys have them,
and as much as you may not like them, you
can blame Oppenheimer. I say, make sure they're in working
condition if we're going to have them, and we are
going to have them, so we can all be grown
ups in the room and not be out there holding
up some ridiculous picket sign like we're gonna make any

(14:59):
difference or any change in this reality.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Look what Trump did.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
He's got China buying soybeans again, how many soybeans? And
compared to what they used to buy. You cannot look
at a number and say wow. The only way to
understand a number is to engage in some level of comparison,
to see what was happening before, what can happen from it,
what can happen in the future.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
But what they do is create this shocking, this amazing, this.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
I can't believe this.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Look what he's doing now, he's building an event space
for the White House.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
He didn't stab a puppy. It's not that shocking.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Testing the nuclear capability of the United States.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
I don't know when's the last time I was tested?
Oh guaranteed.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
These people on social media all screaming and yelling, catterwauling
like they're people of intellect. They don't know, so we're
gonna talk to people who know. That's gonna be on
Tony Katz today at noon.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Do not miss it.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good Morning. I gave a producer,
Carl license to play Michael Jackson.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
I did that. It's on me. Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC,
Good Morning.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
It is Halloween, people, and uh, you know, some people
may have the inclination to say, you know, and I'm
gonna dress up like a creepy clown really scare people,
and and and and really cause a scene.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
And I just want to I just want to warn
people not to do that.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
We have a series of PSA's we've been playing all week.
We'll hit them all today to help people so they
don't dress up like a creepy clown.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Uh this Halloween. Here here's one of them.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
And now a public service announcement for anyone who's thinking
of dressing like a creepy clown. This Halloween shuit well's
fake hearing devices, so far up your ass you can
hear the satires all tested as it produces. This has
been a public service announcement for anyone thinking of dressing
like a creepy clown as Halloween.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Just trying to help, just trying to help.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
I don't want anybody dressing me up like a creepy
clown this Halloween and having bad things.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Happen to them.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
No, no, no, no, no no, no.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Not going to I'm going to try and help the
very very best I can.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
I wanted Donald Trump to do the same, and he's like, nah,
now I don't want to help.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I want to cause the seam.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
And he comes out on truth Social and he says, hey,
what are we all doing here? It's time to end
the filibuster. I've got the Washington Post saying of the
Democratic Party vote for the continuing resolution. I've got unions saying,
what are you doing? Democrats vote for the continuing resolution.

(18:01):
And I've got Donald Trump saying, in a massive post
untruth social nuke the filibuster, pass continuing resolution. Let's go
run the country. I cannot make sense of it. And
for the people who want to say to me, will Tony,
this is really forty chess to put pressure on the Democrats.

(18:23):
Could we stop, just stop, just stop? Oh there you
go again, Tony not supporting Donald Trump. Dear Lord idle worship,
is ugly and incredibly daft. People make mistakes. I have
no idea why Donald Trump did this in every way.

(18:47):
Chuck Schumer failed in every way. The Democrats are responsible
every way. John Thune, who is the leader of the
Republicans in the Senate, has said he is going to
protect filibuster.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
And Donald Trump said, well, now I'm in charge.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
I'm the captain now, And you're like, well, he's the
president of the United States, he's in charge. Is that strategy. No,
there is no strategy. There's just whatever he puts out
on a post at the moment. And everybody, like lemmings,
like progressive says, oh, absolutely, that's it.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
It's not always it. Everything's possible, everything's possible. It could
still work out.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
But if you get rid of the filibuster, you're giving
the Democrats what they want.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
You're giving the Democrats what they want. Let's it.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
There's nothing else, there's nothing more, there's nothing else to
engage in.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
You're just doing that.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
And I don't know why you would do that publicly.
Why wouldn't you have that conversation privately? Now you say
to me, Tony, we don't know if he had that
conversation privately, very very true, we don't. But now it's
out in the public. If you're the Democratic Party, you
feel any pressure to put this to an end, you
could argue with me and say, well, by putting this

(20:10):
out publicly, Democrats have to say to themselves, man, we
don't want the filibuster to be brought to an end
because that could mean bad things for us. So therefore
we're going to vote for this to prevent the Republicans
from doing it.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
One could make that argument.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Note here, how I cover every side in every part
of the conversation. So when they come and say, oh, Tony,
you're just parroting this, that and the other, point them
to this and then tell them to sit down. One
could argue that that is the methodology here. That's the
great strategy here. I think that that is a that

(20:52):
would be luck.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
That would be luck.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
There's no strategy here that can be scene. There's no
a strategy here that can be appreciated, none.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Zero. I've got unions, I have got.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Editorial boards saying, Chuck Schumer, you have failed. Keep the
pressure on to make him make this change. Now you
say to me, Tony, put the pressure on. But people
are actually gonna go hungry. I'm gonna start where I started.

(21:34):
I'm sickened by the fact that we elect people, send
them to DC and they won't do their job.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
No budget. What are we doing here? You want me
to get worked up by continuing resolution. I won't. I
flat out refuse. Vote for better people, the end, the end.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
President Trump's argument about the filibuster is if the Democrats
had the power, they would get rid of the philibuster immediately.
Maybe maybe, But if you remove the filibuster, you're not
going to be able to have the subject.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Tony, we don't need the subject. We need to win.
Can you name for me.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
The other subjects where the filibuster has been an issue.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
You didn't give me ten things.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
You give me one thing, and the one thing is
the thing that Chuck Schumer is losing with.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
So yes, this is not good strategy. Could it work out.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
I've lived long enough to know everything can work out.
But I don't know why you would put this out.
I don't know why you would make this public. I
have nothing that shows that there is an ounce of
strategy going on behind this, except for John Thune to
have to come out and say no, no, no, we support
the filibuster, which is now putting Thune against Trump, and

(23:00):
not what you want. Ending the filibuster is what the
Democrats want. They just want it when they're in power.
So this is all strategy to get it, to get
them to say no, no, no, keep the filibuster, and
you've got another year of being able to have this
possibility learning over you. Maybe, But the more you talk about,

(23:24):
the more it doesn't seem like it's the right strategy.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Nothing of this seems like it's the right strategy. Mister
President can't wait to get all the tweets yelling at me,
so it goes
