Speaker 1 (00:17):
Halloween, everybody, there will be so much diabetes tomorrow. Tony
Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Good to be with you.
Jonathan Taylor, he plays for the Indianapolis Football Colts, named
the AFC Offensive Player of the Month. What did he say, Oh,
(00:38):
offense offensive got it? Thank you very much. Third time
he's received Player of the Month honors in his career.
October and November of twenty twenty one. I'm surprised it
took this long for the NFL to get there. Honestly,
guy's been out of his head. As for Operation Midway
(00:59):
Blitz taking place right here in parts of Indiana, of course,
based on everything in Chicago, no issue, none whatsoever. We
should be focused on removing illegal immigrants from the United States.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
We should not accept lawbreaking.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
And yes, the idea that well, no one is illegal,
no person can be illegal is a nonsense, silly, childlike argument.
People who break the law have to deal with breaking
the law. That's all there is, and to say otherwise
(01:40):
is laughable. So very very happy to see this going.
But I do at all times want to keep an
eye on them, because if you're walking up to people
walking down the street and saying show me your papers. No, no,
no no. If you have a reason to ask somebody
for their idea, that's one thing. Just walking up a
random purpose person. Prove that you actually live here, Prove
(02:03):
that you're a citizen. I didn't say it was going
to be easy, but I don't give up my rights
because they're doing their job. Their job is to ensure
that my rights are secure. We have a good understanding
in a lot of places of who's here legally, who
the problems are, who the.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Criminal element is. Let's go get them. Let's go get
them right now, immediately, if not sooner.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You can find the full story on Operation Midway Blitz
over at WIBC dot com and there's a.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
See these are the stories. I don't know how the
newsroom does it. This is the headline at WIBC dot com.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
US marine arrested for kidnapping twelve year old Indiana girl.
What good Lord, I don't have the capacity to read
the restless story.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I've told this story before when we were doing it
was during the.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Trial of Jared Fogel, the subway guy and the child pornography.
I'm like, yeah, I can't like, I think like after
day one I went to our program director David Wood
and our executive producer Matt Heablin.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm like, yeah, I can't do this story. News is
going to have to do the story. I'm not gonna.
I'm not can't.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I don't have any capacity to do. That's why I'm
not a news guy. This is just two nuts for words.
This involves North Carolina, involves Chicago, involves Indianapolis. Check it
out for yourself at WIBC dot com. Much more to
get to, including Trump, refugees and racism. Yeah, there are
(03:45):
plenty of things that you can disagree with President Trump on.
There are some things where people just have no idea
how to handle their emotions. This is indeed one of
those stories I have got that at coming up. You
are not going to want to miss it. Tony Katz
ninety three WIBC, Good Morning, Halloween, dear people, Halloween.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And of course some people still don't get the message.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Tony Katz, ninety three, WIBC, good morning, good to be
with you, and they're going to continue to dress like
creepy clowns on Halloween and try and intimidate and scare
and frighten, and you should know it's like people who
block traffic or try and stop law enforcement from driving.
Expect to get run over, Expect bad things to happen.
(04:36):
You dress like a creepy clown, It's gonna get rough.
So we hear Tony Katz in the morning news, we've
got some public service announcements to help people who are
considering dressing like a creepy clown. We want to help
them help themselves. So here just a public service announcement
for anybody thinking of dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
And now a public service announcement for anyone who's thinking
of dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You die first.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Getting your friends might get me in a rush, but
not before I make your hit into a canoe.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You understand me.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
This has been a public service announcement for anyone thinking
of dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Just doing our.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Part to help anybody who's thinking of making this grave,
grave mistake.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
If you need one more, if you need one more hair,
here's one more to help you.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And now a public service announcement for anyone who's thinking
of dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You hear me talking here, billy boy, I ain't do
with you my damned sight.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I'm gonna get medieval on your ass.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
This has been a public service announcement for anyone thinking
of dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Just trying to help, guys.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I'm just trying to help, that's all. That's all we're doing.
So don't do it. I'm just telling you don't. Don't
don't do it. Yes, President Trump coming out and saying,
you know, Republicans, stop dealing with these Democrats, go for
the nuclear option, get rid of the philibuster. I can't,
(06:17):
I cannot believe he said it. What an absolute mistake,
a mistake. You're winning this conversation. America's with you. This
is Schumer's because it is this government shut down. And
here comes the President to say, you know, Republicans should
change the philibuster rules.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And end this. You're gonna tell me that there's a
good strategy here that.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Now the Democrats are going to immediately vote for this
so they don't get rid of the philibuster so they
can have it for other things and hold John Thune,
a Senate majority leader, to his word the Democrats, they
have no word. If Democrats had power with they get
rid of philbu I say so. They were all about
getting rid of the filibuster, and then they lost the
Senate and they were like me, my gosh, we have
(07:05):
to have the filibuster. Of course, they're like, this question
is do we have a standard or not? You were
already winning. Why are you doing this a mistake and
cutting the legs out from Republicans? And if you're John Dune,
you wake up, you read this, You're like, what is
happening here? One could make a very very hard argument
(07:31):
that this is all just forty chess and here's what.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Things can turn. It could work out in your favor.
But you had it and you gave it up.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You saw victory and you were like, nah, not be
like Ady Mitchell heading for the end zone.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'll drop the ball here too soon? Is that not?
Is that not kind?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
By the way, it's been a while for him in
the doghouse. I don't know how long these things last,
the wide receiver for the Colts. But I mean, if
you're winning the way you're winning without him on the field,
I mean that's worse for Ady Mitchell.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But that said, I don't know what the plan is here.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
If you're not going to allow him the shot at redemption,
cut him, trade him seriously. Jonathan Taylor got the shot
at redemption. He did this.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oh, but he's Jonathan Taylor. You've got other people other
than Ady Mitchell.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
There comes a moment where it's beyond ugly. But the
story I wanted to get to was a story about refugees.
And there's this new bit of regulation I guess we'd
call it where President Trump is capping the amount of
(08:53):
refugees for fiscal year twenty twenty six at seventy five hundred.
In twenty twenty four, the US resettled more than one
hundred thousand refugees. It's the lowest number since the modern
refugee system was established. Even in twenty twenty and twenty
(09:13):
twenty one, we're dealing with COVID, we had over eleven
thousand people.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
What has people more upset.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
When I say people the left, is that the vast
majority of these people are going to be Africaners, and
they're white.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And they're saying, my gosh, this is nothing but racism.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Allow me, if not the white Africaners whose refugee status
is predicated on the black leadership in South Africa screaming
and chanting, kill the boar, kill the white farmer, and
quite literally killing white farmers.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Who do you want it to be?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I would argue that the only thing we should be
asking ourselves is whether or not these people want to
be Americans, are going to appreciate America and follow the
rules of America. These are the questions, which is why
I disagree.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
With groups like what is this group heritage?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Say, say save Indiana Heritage or save heritage Indiana who
heard me on the show the other day and were like, well,
Tony's not really getting it right.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I put forth to you, I do get it right.
And their argument was, you know, we.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Can't have this mass migration because look what's happening in Dearborn.
I said, it's a very different conversation. I never said
mass migration. I never said I favored mass migration. I
do favor legal immigration, and I vehemently oppose illegal immigration.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And I believe in deporting anybody who's here.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Illegally, and I believe in supporting people who are here
legally who support the concept of America. But if you're
coming to the United States and saying America is terrible.
I throw you right out. If you're an able bodied man,
I throw you right out. We don't do that here.
We don't that we're going to pretend that every single
(11:12):
bit of the workforce can be covered by Americans. Sorry,
that hasn't shown up in the data. That we're going
to argue that somehow Americans can't do this work or
refuse to do this work. I don't know that has
proven itself true either. But this is a conversation about
how you keep America America, how we keep the constitution
(11:34):
going strong. And indeed, you cannot as allow Islamists into
the nation. You cannot allow communists into the nation. You can't.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
And you have to say goodbye to people.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And if there's some woman from Nicaragua who believes that
we should be under a communist system, or you know,
the workers should rebel, goodbye, you're not an American, You're out.
I think we can say that I never once questioned
whether or not we should be allowed to uphold a standard,
which takes us back to this conversation about refugees. The
(12:06):
people upset that they're white Afrikaners who do you want.
You think it should be a little bit of this group,
a little bit of that group, a little bit of
other group, and everything.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
There's this perfect even mix here.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
You're going by characteristics of skin color or something about geography.
I want to know who wants to be an American.
That's the only standard give us. You're tired, you're poor,
your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, who want to
do it our way and recognize where they came from
probably sucks or at least isn't as good as where
(12:38):
they are now. I think that's fine. You should want
to be an American and you should engage the American
way of life and understand how we do things here.
And if you're not willing to do that, if you
think where you came from is better, if you think
we should change, maybe this isn't the place for you.
So no, this idea of ending mass migration, I think
(13:03):
you're grasping in a straw there. Ensuring that our legal
immigration system brings in people who want to be Americans.
Absolutely in all day and no question, all day and
no question.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I think my arguments better than yours. I think it
connects with more people.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I think it solves the problems, and I do believe
that we have problems that we need to solve. The
people upset with President Trump are bringing in white afric counters.
They think we should bring in people based on skin
color or based on some other characteristic. I think the
only thing that matters is who wants to be an American.
You're telling me white Africanners don't want to be Americans,
or you're telling me they can't come because they're white.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
The first one to be like, Okay, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
The second one is just flat out racism, and I
dismiss the leftists who make that claim.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Time to fill up on the news.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good Morning, Good to be
with you. Doubt features are up one seventeen NAS. That
features up three eighty four.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
You have got oil prices at sixty dollars and forty
one cents on the West Texas crewed that's the barrel price.
You have got Brent crude coming in at sixty four
dollars and eighty four cents per barrel. The tenure Treasury
four point zero nine to nine. So it is now
for the second day above that four percent threshold, gold
(14:33):
back up four thousand dollars and sixty four thy sixteen dollars.
That is the big price right now on gold, silver
ticking back up to forty.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Eight ninety two.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Gold has had a high four thou forty five today
and silver has had a high a forty nine forty one.
So hope people were able to cash out and things
have dipped a little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Bitton. We might see it come back.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
We might see that this is a the way it
is over there at IPS.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
That's Indianapolis Public Schools.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Oh wait a second, I forgot to do something I
always seem to forget. And they're such lovely people. I
should not forget. Philip on the News, brought to you
by Simple Quarters. Need to help sell your home without
the hassle. Sell your home to people you can trust.
Call simple Quarters three one seven nine hundred Home three
(15:26):
one seven nine hundred.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
H O m E.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Here's what we're gonna do. Producer Carl, you have to
put this together today. We need a whole Philip on
the News intro presented by simple Quarters.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I can't forget. These are lovely people, great sponsors. I
want to take care of them.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Three one seven nine hundred home, sell your home without
the hassle three one seven nine hundred h om. So
you have to build a new intro with the intro there,
or you can create a new intro producer, Carl. But
you're in charge of that that happens today. That's got
to happen. I need you, I need Can you handle this,
sir as I can hot dignity producer, Carl, everybody, heck
of a guy. Indianapolis Public Schools also brought to you
(16:04):
by simple quarters three one seven nine hundred home. Not really,
they have changed over their at IPS it's Office of
Racial Equity into the Office of Strategic Excellence because schools
are getting pressure to abandon DEI efforts.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Renaming something is not changing the effort. It's not it's
a new name.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It's like when you said you change global warming to
climate change. It's just a new name. It's the same
exact nonsense. So no, you have to get rid of
the office altogether. You have to get rid of the
ideology altogether. IPS needs to be better. Stop promoting bigotry,
stop promoting hatred, stop promoting division.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
That's what DEI does. Don't be in favor of any
of it. That's the answer.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
And when you take a look at your declining enrollments,
as has been noted and reported.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Ask yourself what may cause that?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
And it could be, yes, some of these exact things
that we're talking about. It could be the absolute failure
of leadership in Indianapolis, which is an absolute failure. And
I was involved in a conversation a couple days ago
about how sure am I that Joe Hoggeset will win
reelection if he runs for mayor for a fourth term,
And the answer is one hundred and seventy four percent.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Sure. I don't want it.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Indianapolis shouldn't want it, but Indianapolis doesn't seem to want
what's good for it. I only have five members of
the city County Council calling for his resignation. And what
have they done about that? Said we call for his resignation,
that moved on with their day. Well, what are we
supposed to do about it?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
How about spending an hour in front of his office
every day demanding you resign? How about bringing five hundred
people with you demanding he resigns. He allows his staff
to be sexually inappropriate. He's sexually inappropriate with people, and
he has no agenda, He does not keep the people safe,
he can't plow the streets, and people are.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Gonna vote for him again. Well, at least he's not
a Republican.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Good Lord, Indianapolis, you sound silly, you do, You sound ridiculous,
And I know it's just me once again speaking about this.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Honestly. No civic leaders.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
No, no, no, the pacers nothing, the cults nothing, Lily nothing,
the great once vaunted MS Communications right there on the circle, nothing,
anthem nothing nothing. You can't get the leadership the people
who live and breathe this city to want to live
(18:46):
and breathe a better city.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
It can't really get much done. And here we are.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yes, if Hogseet runs her fourth term, I believe he'll
get it. It is gross, but it is factual because
the leadership in Indianapolis does not want to lead.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
It's the last thing in the world they want.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Because the civic leaders only want to say yeah, yeah, yeah, problem,
prom problem, what's in it for me? And if you're
offended by that, whether you're Jeff Smullian or Herb Simon
or Dave Ricks or anybody else, how else should we
view it? I've got five microphones and no waiting you
tell me.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I'm right here.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Tony Katz ninety three w No, no, don't tell me.
Tell Indianapolis how they should view it. Tony Katz ninety three, WIBC,
Good morning, Ah, Producer Carl, thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Tony Katz ninety three, WIBC, Good morning. It took me
a moment. I will admit I had to go through
the rolodex. It's time to play America's favorite game. What
the heck is that television theme song? Here is how
we play our game.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Producer Carl has picked a television theme song from yesteryear.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I have to guess what it is.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Now I can utilize the chat room there watching the
livestream YouTube dot com slash WIBC. Or I can go
to Matt Bear and just phone a friend. And if
I were to do that and phone a friend, if
I were to phone a friend, let's let's try the
sound effect one more time. Thank you, and I would
(20:33):
go to Matt Bear in the WIBC traffic center. I
would say, Matt Bear, what is the television theme song?
That's single down, Tony, that's full MTV ladies and gentlemen.
Jenny McCarthy Oh that's gold or carbon e licter, whichever.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
How I'm gonna need a moment. That is a theme
song right there to the monsters. You're welcome, Grandpa, you
are welcome right there.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
You want a weird story, interesting story that so one
of the trades has it as today?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Is that it was?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
It was an email I got from Denny Smith. Denny Smith,
of course, home and garden, Denny Smith, of course a billionaire,
Denny Smith. Yesterday mark the eighty seventh birthday of WIBC.
(21:48):
The station got its start October thirtieth, nineteen thirty eight,
officially went on the air for the first time from
the Indianapolis Athletic Club, originally on ten fifty AM with
a thousand watts, operating as a daytime only station owned
(22:09):
by the Indiana Broadcasting Company. It wasn't until nineteen forty
one they moved to ten seventy cool.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
That is uh, that's pretty groovy.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I it's fun to be here. That's a great story.
How long the station has been here? How long this has.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Been building up?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
On Tony Katz Today at noon, President Trump says we
should get rid of the filibuster under cutting Republicans. He's
just wrong, and I can't believe he did it, except
it's a totally Trump thing to do.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
And if someone wants to tell me.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
That this wash see it's all part of the plan,
he's just laying forty chess.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I don't see it that way. You're winning the fight.
Why not just win the fight.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
You've got unions saying that Democrats are causing this government
shutdown because they won't vote for the continuing resolution.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
It's on them.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You got the Washington Post editorial board saying Democrats are
causing this government shutdown. Vote for the continuing resolution. And
then you come in and say, oh, Republicans should just
go a nuclear and get rid of the filibuster and
then vote for this with fifty one votes.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
It's what do you want me to say? What do
you want me to say? It's it's a mistake, it's
just it's it's.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Silly, it unnecessary. You created a wrinkle. You were winning,
and you're like, no, let's not win.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
No, no, Republicans can't win.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I have to be the one who wins, which is
of course a very Trump thing to do. Don't ask
me to defend it, don't ask me to understand it.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I just won't. I have no idea what's going to
happen next none.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
But if you tell me, well, this is a strategy. Yeah,
Jack's Donuts filing for bankruptcy protection. This has been in
the offing for a while. The story here with Jack's
(24:29):
Donuts is that they were growing and they made a
decision that we're going to start opening stores that utilize
a commissary, so you can have a storefront, but you
don't need the kitchen, and we'll supply you the donuts
every day. And then as the reporting went and the
stories went, the commissary either couldn't keep up or wasn't
(24:53):
to well run, whatever the case may be, and stores
weren't getting donuts. And then the quality of the donuts
absolutely not. There wasn't there at all. And there have
been stores that have been suing in stores I think,
going out of business, finding ways to get out. And
(25:14):
now we are here. They say, you may have seen
that Jack's Donuts is filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy protection.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
This is a court supervised process.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
We have plans for continued and uninterrupted future operations that
will be filed in the case.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Our stores remain open, our teams.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Are at work, and our commitment to quality, tradition, and
community remains unchanged. The Jacks franchise or and certain related
entities are the subject of the bankruptcy proceedings, and no
independently owned franchise is subject to this action.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
They continue for more.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Than sixty years. Jack's Donuts has been about more than donuts.
It's been about people. As we move through this process,
our focus is the same to ensure that the Jack's
experience continues for generations to come.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I don't know how it goes from here.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
There are multiple lawsuits regarding debt. There is a bankruptcy
filing lists fourteen point one to nine million in liabilities
against only one point four million in assets, and then
it goes through who has the claims The Bigges Swimming
(26:23):
Old National Bank with a claim of three and a
half million dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
So we'll follow it.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
We will follow how this works out and how this
plays out. I would still argue that the donut business
seems in and of.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Itself, seems to be all right.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
You know, COVID certainly did damage to a great number
of businesses, and these saw closings, and I've seen things.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Go out, But as a matter of.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Just course, if there's a local place that can, that
does the job, that brings it consistently. I haven't seen
anything but thriving in that regard, and it's like one
of those things like I talk about with the coffee
the other day. More of that local, more of that success,
and talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It, I think is very important. It's a big story
because people's.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Livelihoods are on the line here, and we'll follow the
story as it goes and grows.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I will catch you guys at noon.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It's Halloween, and just a reminder for anybody thinking of
dressing up like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
And now a public service announcement for anyone who's thinking
of dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I'm up to keep you in.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
The back of the head.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I'm ten years old, but I'll bait your ass. I'm
gonna come at you. I'm a scatter monkey.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
This has been a public service announcement for anyone thinking
of dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Happy Halloween, once and all, be very careful
Halloween, everybody, there will be so much diabetes tomorrow. Tony
Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Good to be with you.
Jonathan Taylor, he plays for the Indianapolis Football Colts, named
the AFC Offensive Player of the Month. What did he say, Oh,
(00:38):
offense offensive got it? Thank you very much. Third time
he's received Player of the Month honors in his career.
October and November of twenty twenty one. I'm surprised it
took this long for the NFL to get there. Honestly,
guy's been out of his head. As for Operation Midway
(00:59):
Blitz taking place right here in parts of Indiana, of course,
based on everything in Chicago, no issue, none whatsoever. We
should be focused on removing illegal immigrants from the United States.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
We should not accept lawbreaking.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
And yes, the idea that well, no one is illegal,
no person can be illegal is a nonsense, silly, childlike argument.
People who break the law have to deal with breaking
the law. That's all there is, and to say otherwise
(01:40):
is laughable. So very very happy to see this going.
But I do at all times want to keep an
eye on them, because if you're walking up to people
walking down the street and saying show me your papers. No, no,
no no. If you have a reason to ask somebody
for their idea, that's one thing. Just walking up a
random purpose person. Prove that you actually live here, Prove
(02:03):
that you're a citizen. I didn't say it was going
to be easy, but I don't give up my rights
because they're doing their job. Their job is to ensure
that my rights are secure. We have a good understanding
in a lot of places of who's here legally, who
the problems are, who the.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Criminal element is. Let's go get them. Let's go get
them right now, immediately, if not sooner.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You can find the full story on Operation Midway Blitz
over at WIBC dot com and there's a.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
See these are the stories. I don't know how the
newsroom does it. This is the headline at WIBC dot com.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
US marine arrested for kidnapping twelve year old Indiana girl.
What good Lord, I don't have the capacity to read
the restless story.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I've told this story before when we were doing it
was during the.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Trial of Jared Fogel, the subway guy and the child pornography.
I'm like, yeah, I can't like, I think like after
day one I went to our program director David Wood
and our executive producer Matt Heablin.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm like, yeah, I can't do this story. News is
going to have to do the story. I'm not gonna.
I'm not can't.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I don't have any capacity to do. That's why I'm
not a news guy. This is just two nuts for words.
This involves North Carolina, involves Chicago, involves Indianapolis. Check it
out for yourself at WIBC dot com. Much more to
get to, including Trump, refugees and racism. Yeah, there are
(03:45):
plenty of things that you can disagree with President Trump on.
There are some things where people just have no idea
how to handle their emotions. This is indeed one of
those stories I have got that at coming up. You
are not going to want to miss it. Tony Katz
ninety three WIBC, Good Morning, Halloween, dear people, Halloween.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And of course some people still don't get the message.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Tony Katz, ninety three, WIBC, good morning, good to be
with you, and they're going to continue to dress like
creepy clowns on Halloween and try and intimidate and scare
and frighten, and you should know it's like people who
block traffic or try and stop law enforcement from driving.
Expect to get run over, Expect bad things to happen.
(04:36):
You dress like a creepy clown, It's gonna get rough.
So we hear Tony Katz in the morning news, we've
got some public service announcements to help people who are
considering dressing like a creepy clown. We want to help
them help themselves. So here just a public service announcement
for anybody thinking of dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
And now a public service announcement for anyone who's thinking
of dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You die first.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Getting your friends might get me in a rush, but
not before I make your hit into a canoe.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You understand me.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
This has been a public service announcement for anyone thinking
of dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Just doing our.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Part to help anybody who's thinking of making this grave,
grave mistake.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
If you need one more, if you need one more hair,
here's one more to help you.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And now a public service announcement for anyone who's thinking
of dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You hear me talking here, billy boy, I ain't do
with you my damned sight.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I'm gonna get medieval on your ass.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
This has been a public service announcement for anyone thinking
of dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Just trying to help, guys.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I'm just trying to help, that's all. That's all we're doing.
So don't do it. I'm just telling you don't. Don't
don't do it. Yes, President Trump coming out and saying,
you know, Republicans, stop dealing with these Democrats, go for
the nuclear option, get rid of the philibuster. I can't,
(06:17):
I cannot believe he said it. What an absolute mistake,
a mistake. You're winning this conversation. America's with you. This
is Schumer's because it is this government shut down. And
here comes the President to say, you know, Republicans should
change the philibuster rules.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And end this. You're gonna tell me that there's a
good strategy here that.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Now the Democrats are going to immediately vote for this
so they don't get rid of the philibuster so they
can have it for other things and hold John Thune,
a Senate majority leader, to his word the Democrats, they
have no word. If Democrats had power with they get
rid of philbu I say so. They were all about
getting rid of the filibuster, and then they lost the
Senate and they were like me, my gosh, we have
(07:05):
to have the filibuster. Of course, they're like, this question
is do we have a standard or not? You were
already winning. Why are you doing this a mistake and
cutting the legs out from Republicans? And if you're John Dune,
you wake up, you read this, You're like, what is
happening here? One could make a very very hard argument
(07:31):
that this is all just forty chess and here's what.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Things can turn. It could work out in your favor.
But you had it and you gave it up.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You saw victory and you were like, nah, not be
like Ady Mitchell heading for the end zone.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'll drop the ball here too soon? Is that not?
Is that not kind?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
By the way, it's been a while for him in
the doghouse. I don't know how long these things last,
the wide receiver for the Colts. But I mean, if
you're winning the way you're winning without him on the field,
I mean that's worse for Ady Mitchell.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But that said, I don't know what the plan is here.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
If you're not going to allow him the shot at redemption,
cut him, trade him seriously. Jonathan Taylor got the shot
at redemption. He did this.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oh, but he's Jonathan Taylor. You've got other people other
than Ady Mitchell.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
There comes a moment where it's beyond ugly. But the
story I wanted to get to was a story about refugees.
And there's this new bit of regulation I guess we'd
call it where President Trump is capping the amount of
(08:53):
refugees for fiscal year twenty twenty six at seventy five hundred.
In twenty twenty four, the US resettled more than one
hundred thousand refugees. It's the lowest number since the modern
refugee system was established. Even in twenty twenty and twenty
(09:13):
twenty one, we're dealing with COVID, we had over eleven
thousand people.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
What has people more upset.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
When I say people the left, is that the vast
majority of these people are going to be Africaners, and
they're white.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And they're saying, my gosh, this is nothing but racism.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Allow me, if not the white Africaners whose refugee status
is predicated on the black leadership in South Africa screaming
and chanting, kill the boar, kill the white farmer, and
quite literally killing white farmers.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Who do you want it to be?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I would argue that the only thing we should be
asking ourselves is whether or not these people want to
be Americans, are going to appreciate America and follow the
rules of America. These are the questions, which is why
I disagree.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
With groups like what is this group heritage?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Say, say save Indiana Heritage or save heritage Indiana who
heard me on the show the other day and were like, well,
Tony's not really getting it right.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I put forth to you, I do get it right.
And their argument was, you know, we.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Can't have this mass migration because look what's happening in Dearborn.
I said, it's a very different conversation. I never said
mass migration. I never said I favored mass migration. I
do favor legal immigration, and I vehemently oppose illegal immigration.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And I believe in deporting anybody who's here.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Illegally, and I believe in supporting people who are here
legally who support the concept of America. But if you're
coming to the United States and saying America is terrible.
I throw you right out. If you're an able bodied man,
I throw you right out. We don't do that here.
We don't that we're going to pretend that every single
(11:12):
bit of the workforce can be covered by Americans. Sorry,
that hasn't shown up in the data. That we're going
to argue that somehow Americans can't do this work or
refuse to do this work. I don't know that has
proven itself true either. But this is a conversation about
how you keep America America, how we keep the constitution
(11:34):
going strong. And indeed, you cannot as allow Islamists into
the nation. You cannot allow communists into the nation. You can't.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
And you have to say goodbye to people.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And if there's some woman from Nicaragua who believes that
we should be under a communist system, or you know,
the workers should rebel, goodbye, you're not an American, You're out.
I think we can say that I never once questioned
whether or not we should be allowed to uphold a standard,
which takes us back to this conversation about refugees. The
(12:06):
people upset that they're white Afrikaners who do you want.
You think it should be a little bit of this group,
a little bit of that group, a little bit of
other group, and everything.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
There's this perfect even mix here.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
You're going by characteristics of skin color or something about geography.
I want to know who wants to be an American.
That's the only standard give us. You're tired, you're poor,
your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, who want to
do it our way and recognize where they came from
probably sucks or at least isn't as good as where
(12:38):
they are now. I think that's fine. You should want
to be an American and you should engage the American
way of life and understand how we do things here.
And if you're not willing to do that, if you
think where you came from is better, if you think
we should change, maybe this isn't the place for you.
So no, this idea of ending mass migration, I think
(13:03):
you're grasping in a straw there. Ensuring that our legal
immigration system brings in people who want to be Americans.
Absolutely in all day and no question, all day and
no question.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I think my arguments better than yours. I think it
connects with more people.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I think it solves the problems, and I do believe
that we have problems that we need to solve. The
people upset with President Trump are bringing in white afric counters.
They think we should bring in people based on skin
color or based on some other characteristic. I think the
only thing that matters is who wants to be an American.
You're telling me white Africanners don't want to be Americans,
or you're telling me they can't come because they're white.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
The first one to be like, Okay, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
The second one is just flat out racism, and I
dismiss the leftists who make that claim.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Time to fill up on the news.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good Morning, Good to be
with you. Doubt features are up one seventeen NAS. That
features up three eighty four.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
You have got oil prices at sixty dollars and forty
one cents on the West Texas crewed that's the barrel price.
You have got Brent crude coming in at sixty four
dollars and eighty four cents per barrel. The tenure Treasury
four point zero nine to nine. So it is now
for the second day above that four percent threshold, gold
(14:33):
back up four thousand dollars and sixty four thy sixteen dollars.
That is the big price right now on gold, silver
ticking back up to forty.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Eight ninety two.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Gold has had a high four thou forty five today
and silver has had a high a forty nine forty one.
So hope people were able to cash out and things
have dipped a little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Bitton. We might see it come back.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
We might see that this is a the way it
is over there at IPS.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
That's Indianapolis Public Schools.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Oh wait a second, I forgot to do something I
always seem to forget. And they're such lovely people. I
should not forget. Philip on the News, brought to you
by Simple Quarters. Need to help sell your home without
the hassle. Sell your home to people you can trust.
Call simple Quarters three one seven nine hundred Home three
(15:26):
one seven nine hundred.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
H O m E.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Here's what we're gonna do. Producer Carl, you have to
put this together today. We need a whole Philip on
the News intro presented by simple Quarters.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I can't forget. These are lovely people, great sponsors. I
want to take care of them.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Three one seven nine hundred home, sell your home without
the hassle three one seven nine hundred h om. So
you have to build a new intro with the intro there,
or you can create a new intro producer, Carl. But
you're in charge of that that happens today. That's got
to happen. I need you, I need Can you handle this,
sir as I can hot dignity producer, Carl, everybody, heck
of a guy. Indianapolis Public Schools also brought to you
(16:04):
by simple quarters three one seven nine hundred home. Not really,
they have changed over their at IPS it's Office of
Racial Equity into the Office of Strategic Excellence because schools
are getting pressure to abandon DEI efforts.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Renaming something is not changing the effort. It's not it's
a new name.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It's like when you said you change global warming to
climate change. It's just a new name. It's the same
exact nonsense. So no, you have to get rid of
the office altogether. You have to get rid of the
ideology altogether. IPS needs to be better. Stop promoting bigotry,
stop promoting hatred, stop promoting division.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
That's what DEI does. Don't be in favor of any
of it. That's the answer.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
And when you take a look at your declining enrollments,
as has been noted and reported.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Ask yourself what may cause that?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
And it could be, yes, some of these exact things
that we're talking about. It could be the absolute failure
of leadership in Indianapolis, which is an absolute failure. And
I was involved in a conversation a couple days ago
about how sure am I that Joe Hoggeset will win
reelection if he runs for mayor for a fourth term,
And the answer is one hundred and seventy four percent.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Sure. I don't want it.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Indianapolis shouldn't want it, but Indianapolis doesn't seem to want
what's good for it. I only have five members of
the city County Council calling for his resignation. And what
have they done about that? Said we call for his resignation,
that moved on with their day. Well, what are we
supposed to do about it?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
How about spending an hour in front of his office
every day demanding you resign? How about bringing five hundred
people with you demanding he resigns. He allows his staff
to be sexually inappropriate. He's sexually inappropriate with people, and
he has no agenda, He does not keep the people safe,
he can't plow the streets, and people are.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Gonna vote for him again. Well, at least he's not
a Republican.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Good Lord, Indianapolis, you sound silly, you do, You sound ridiculous,
And I know it's just me once again speaking about this.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Honestly. No civic leaders.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
No, no, no, the pacers nothing, the cults nothing, Lily nothing,
the great once vaunted MS Communications right there on the circle, nothing,
anthem nothing nothing. You can't get the leadership the people
who live and breathe this city to want to live
(18:46):
and breathe a better city.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
It can't really get much done. And here we are.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yes, if Hogseet runs her fourth term, I believe he'll
get it. It is gross, but it is factual because
the leadership in Indianapolis does not want to lead.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
It's the last thing in the world they want.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Because the civic leaders only want to say yeah, yeah, yeah, problem,
prom problem, what's in it for me? And if you're
offended by that, whether you're Jeff Smullian or Herb Simon
or Dave Ricks or anybody else, how else should we
view it? I've got five microphones and no waiting you
tell me.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I'm right here.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Tony Katz ninety three w No, no, don't tell me.
Tell Indianapolis how they should view it. Tony Katz ninety three, WIBC,
Good morning, Ah, Producer Carl, thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Tony Katz ninety three, WIBC, Good morning. It took me
a moment. I will admit I had to go through
the rolodex. It's time to play America's favorite game. What
the heck is that television theme song? Here is how
we play our game.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Producer Carl has picked a television theme song from yesteryear.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I have to guess what it is.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Now I can utilize the chat room there watching the
livestream YouTube dot com slash WIBC. Or I can go
to Matt Bear and just phone a friend. And if
I were to do that and phone a friend, if
I were to phone a friend, let's let's try the
sound effect one more time. Thank you, and I would
(20:33):
go to Matt Bear in the WIBC traffic center. I
would say, Matt Bear, what is the television theme song?
That's single down, Tony, that's full MTV ladies and gentlemen.
Jenny McCarthy Oh that's gold or carbon e licter, whichever.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
How I'm gonna need a moment. That is a theme
song right there to the monsters. You're welcome, Grandpa, you
are welcome right there.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
You want a weird story, interesting story that so one
of the trades has it as today?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Is that it was?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
It was an email I got from Denny Smith. Denny Smith,
of course, home and garden, Denny Smith, of course a billionaire,
Denny Smith. Yesterday mark the eighty seventh birthday of WIBC.
(21:48):
The station got its start October thirtieth, nineteen thirty eight,
officially went on the air for the first time from
the Indianapolis Athletic Club, originally on ten fifty AM with
a thousand watts, operating as a daytime only station owned
(22:09):
by the Indiana Broadcasting Company. It wasn't until nineteen forty
one they moved to ten seventy cool.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
That is uh, that's pretty groovy.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I it's fun to be here. That's a great story.
How long the station has been here? How long this has.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Been building up?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
On Tony Katz Today at noon, President Trump says we
should get rid of the filibuster under cutting Republicans. He's
just wrong, and I can't believe he did it, except
it's a totally Trump thing to do.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
And if someone wants to tell me.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
That this wash see it's all part of the plan,
he's just laying forty chess.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I don't see it that way. You're winning the fight.
Why not just win the fight.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
You've got unions saying that Democrats are causing this government
shutdown because they won't vote for the continuing resolution.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
It's on them.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You got the Washington Post editorial board saying Democrats are
causing this government shutdown. Vote for the continuing resolution. And
then you come in and say, oh, Republicans should just
go a nuclear and get rid of the filibuster and
then vote for this with fifty one votes.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
It's what do you want me to say? What do
you want me to say? It's it's a mistake, it's
just it's it's.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Silly, it unnecessary. You created a wrinkle. You were winning,
and you're like, no, let's not win.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
No, no, Republicans can't win.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I have to be the one who wins, which is
of course a very Trump thing to do. Don't ask
me to defend it, don't ask me to understand it.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I just won't. I have no idea what's going to
happen next none.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
But if you tell me, well, this is a strategy. Yeah,
Jack's Donuts filing for bankruptcy protection. This has been in
the offing for a while. The story here with Jack's
(24:29):
Donuts is that they were growing and they made a
decision that we're going to start opening stores that utilize
a commissary, so you can have a storefront, but you
don't need the kitchen, and we'll supply you the donuts
every day. And then as the reporting went and the
stories went, the commissary either couldn't keep up or wasn't
(24:53):
to well run, whatever the case may be, and stores
weren't getting donuts. And then the quality of the donuts
absolutely not. There wasn't there at all. And there have
been stores that have been suing in stores I think,
going out of business, finding ways to get out. And
(25:14):
now we are here. They say, you may have seen
that Jack's Donuts is filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy protection.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
This is a court supervised process.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
We have plans for continued and uninterrupted future operations that
will be filed in the case.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Our stores remain open, our teams.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Are at work, and our commitment to quality, tradition, and
community remains unchanged. The Jacks franchise or and certain related
entities are the subject of the bankruptcy proceedings, and no
independently owned franchise is subject to this action.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
They continue for more.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Than sixty years. Jack's Donuts has been about more than donuts.
It's been about people. As we move through this process,
our focus is the same to ensure that the Jack's
experience continues for generations to come.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I don't know how it goes from here.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
There are multiple lawsuits regarding debt. There is a bankruptcy
filing lists fourteen point one to nine million in liabilities
against only one point four million in assets, and then
it goes through who has the claims The Bigges Swimming
(26:23):
Old National Bank with a claim of three and a
half million dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
So we'll follow it.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
We will follow how this works out and how this
plays out. I would still argue that the donut business
seems in and of.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Itself, seems to be all right.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
You know, COVID certainly did damage to a great number
of businesses, and these saw closings, and I've seen things.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Go out, But as a matter of.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Just course, if there's a local place that can, that
does the job, that brings it consistently. I haven't seen
anything but thriving in that regard, and it's like one
of those things like I talk about with the coffee
the other day. More of that local, more of that success,
and talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It, I think is very important. It's a big story
because people's.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Livelihoods are on the line here, and we'll follow the
story as it goes and grows.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I will catch you guys at noon.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It's Halloween, and just a reminder for anybody thinking of
dressing up like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
And now a public service announcement for anyone who's thinking
of dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I'm up to keep you in.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
The back of the head.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
