Speaker 1 (00:18):
Dick Cheney has passed away at the age of eighty four.
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good Morning. This announced this
morning took place last night complications that existed from pneumonia
and heart and vascular disease, surrounded by his family. The
(00:40):
former vice president of two thousand and one to two
thousand and nine. A history of public service, whether you
liked it or not, is a completely different conversation. I'll
let the people who want to engage their their dickch hate.
(01:01):
I'll let them engage that all they choose. White House
Chief of Stafford President Gerald Ford, representative out of Wyoming,
served as the Secretary of Defense for George HW. Bush,
then as Vice President of the United States for that
(01:22):
Bush's son, George Bush. I'm leaving it there. You want
to engage anything else, you're more than welcome to just
leave me out of it. And the Trump administration is
now going to pay out half of the November snap benefits.
I just want to look at all the people who
(01:44):
told me that Donald Trump was a king and say
he's the worst king ever. I didn't know you could
do this. I didn't know that you could tell a king, Hey,
you have to spend money. The king has to go. Well,
I guess if I have to. I didn't know that
was the case. I didn't know you could do such
(02:06):
a thing, But it turns out you can. Because maybe
Trump isn't a king, and maybe everybody who said so
is a liar and a fraud and absolutely awful, and
they don't care that. It doesn't not move them at
all that you expose them as a liar and a fraud.
They'll just keep on doing it. People fall for that stuff.
(02:27):
It's a lot of hate for the American people. It's
a lot of wanting to turn the brain to rot.
No thanks Eli, Lilly building a three billion dollar manufacturing
site in the Netherlands. Uh huh. I have many questions, specifically,
(02:49):
is this about supply chains or is this about something else?
You know, the relationship with Indiana and Lily, I would
easily argue should continue and continue aggressively. Should be a
conversation about what's given versus what is received. But when
(03:11):
I take a look at them building another parts of
the United States, I get infuriated. I don't know if
I should be infuriated by them building other parts of
the globe. They have European manufacturing in France, Ireland, Italy
and Spain. They have shared in twenty twenty. They've got
(03:31):
additional sites that they're considering Ireland, Germany and now the Netherlands.
I accept that they're a global company. They got to
act that way. But anytime we're talking about doing things
in the United States, man, if it's not Indiana first,
that's pretty bothersome. Now does that mean you give away
a farm to get it? Oh? No, oh, no oh no.
(03:53):
I just think Lily needs the constant reminder in a
respectful way that this is home. You should treat the
home pretty good. Is that? Did I say too much?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I didn't think so either. Tony Katz at ninety three WIBC,
Good morning, Arctic Frost and Microsoft First, what is Arctic Frost? Well,
this was the investigation set up by the Biden administration
looking into members of the Trump administration to see, hey,
(04:33):
who can we go after? Tony Katz, that's me ninety
three WIBC, Good morning, Good to be with you. That's
what Arctic Frost was. It was the Merrick Garland Justice Department.
It was utilizing the Special Council Jack Smith. Who can
we go after show me the man, and I'll show
(04:54):
you the crime. That's Arctic frost the government weaponized against
the American people. Well, there's a story that goes along
with this. Of course, we shared how subpoenas were given
and to AT and T and to Verizon to hand
(05:16):
over phone records of senators like Senator Ted Cruz, and
Verizon handed over everything. Here you go, and AT and
T said, we're not following the subpoena. No, no, no, no where.
We can't do this. And the government backed off, and
I am going to move my service from Verizon to
AT and T. Now I've been looking at you know,
(05:38):
who's faster this and that. It seems that Verizon is
a little bit faster than AT and T. Here T
Mobile seems too faster than everybody. But I'm not going
to reward Verizon for doing something so holy horrific. Government
gives you a subpoena and you're like, okay, whatever you want.
But this is part of that larger conversation about connection points.
(06:01):
Exactly how many people work in government. They go work
in the private sector, still doing the work of government.
So there's a group called the Center to Advanced Security
in America, and they're saying that Homeland Security needs to
review its contracts with Microsoft's for what reason? Microsoft hired
(06:24):
a woman by the name of Lisa Monaco. The risk
that Monaco could again use access to information contained in
department contracts to turn against her political opponents or even
those Microsoft users within the government with whom she disagrees
is great given her past outrageous behavior. Monaco, who is
(06:48):
Microsoft's president of Global Affairs, served as Deputy Attorney General
under President Joe Biden. She had a role in Arctic Frost,
which investigated Republicans, conservatives, of private citizens, and elected officials.
So now that Homeland Security has contracts with Microsoft, now
(07:13):
you have this woman who is part of Arctic Frost
having a huge position of power. Can she or is
she or would she engage in some level of manipulation?
And the answer is I don't know, But I think
that's reason enough to say, maybe this isn't somebody we
(07:34):
need to be connected to. Maybe this isn't okay, Tony.
People can't have jobs in the private sector. People who
are involved in weaponizing government against the citizens. They can
have any job they want, but they can't be connected
to anything that would allow them to further weaponize the
government against the citizen. No, no, they can't. This is
(07:56):
exactly the kind of stuff that we need to be
paying attention to. There's a statement that she does not
have a security clearance, cannot enter federal property, is unfit
for the role. We agree with President Trump and Monaco
(08:19):
needs to be fired, and hope DHS will initiate an
a media investigation into these contracts. Over one hundred and
fifty Republican officials and allies were targeted. The former White
House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley,
people like Steve Bennon. One hundred and ninety seven subpoenas
came forward from Jack Smith's team, targeting approximately four hundred
(08:43):
and thirty Republican entities and individuals. And they want to
talk to us about fascism. Fascism is government and large
scale business working together towards towards their own goal. As
(09:04):
a matter of just definition, these people are like, I
know fascism when I see it, and clearly you don't
not in the slightest may I add ah? This is
a big story. The problem is these are the stories
that a uh don't get any coverage by by the left.
They should be outraged by this stuff if they if
(09:25):
they're serious about what is they say. But of course
they're not serious about anything they say. And as a
follow up, and these stories are processed, they're not sexy.
They're not They're not they're they're they're just not sexy.
(09:49):
Of course, neither is redistricting, which is still a conversation
here uh the Indiana Capitol Chronicle with a story that
the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus they gathered to oppose redrawing
the map, and the headline is democracy doesn't get redrawn. Okay,
(10:13):
if you say so, except that lines a bunch of bunk,
and you know it, and you sound silly when you
say it. That's the event. Democracy doesn't get redrawn. As
a matter of fact, lines get redrawn every ten years,
if we utilize the census in that way, at least
(10:33):
every ten years. So what are you talking about? You
had faith leaders, you had the NAACP, Common Cause Indiana,
the African American Coalition of Indianapolis, and Indivisible Northwest Indiana.
And my question is, what the hell are you talking about?
Democracy doesn't get redrawn? Have any of you looked at
(10:57):
the constitution. Do any of you know what district is
at all? Any do any of you know what happens
at a minimum every ten years? Any of you don't yell? Tony,
don't yell. There's no need for that. It's just embarrassing.
Would it Would it be better if I if I
(11:18):
played it and instead of me doing it? Yeah, probably
probably better if I just played it. It really is
you oppose this because you might lose out on Andre Carson.
Why don't you go support Jennifer Ruth Green. Oh? Well,
(11:39):
she's got some serious ethical issues maybe, but so does
Andre Carson and that doesn't stop you. Or is it
that Jennifer Ruth Green is black and a conservative and
Andre Carson is black and a liberal and we understand
that if you're conservative and black, you're not really black
according to the left. If you guys want to fight
(11:59):
me on this one, I'm in all the way down
to it, all the way in every way. That's the story.
Being opposed to redistricting is fine, But the argument of
you don't democracy doesn't get redrawn is silly. The opposition
(12:23):
to something that is constitutional, something that is political that's
based on the idea of we we're not allowed to
do this, we can't do this is silly. And if
I'm going if we're now going to make this racial,
it is even more silly. I've got someone in the
chat room there as we're live streaming to YouTube, you're
(12:45):
being purposely up to. So I'm sorry, I seem to
be the only one with the argument. I may not
be able to convince all the people I need to
with my argument. But democracy doesn't get redrawn is a
very ridiculous thing to say. And I would ask the
Indiana Black Legislative Caucus do you support people based on
(13:09):
color of skin or based on politics? And if it's politics,
what politics? Because if you called yourself the Indiana Black
Progressive Legislative Caucus, I would understand it. This is like
the NAACP not supporting Winsome Seers in Virginia in the
(13:30):
governor's race. They're supporting Abigail Spanberger, a woman so white
she could have been a body double in the movie Powder.
So you don't support black candidates, you support progressive candidates.
Well just say so, oh, I'm not allowed to notice.
(13:51):
You want to call me a racist for noticing? Go ahead,
you better come heavy, because all I did was bring data.
Being opposed to redistricting, fine, democracy doesn't get redrawn is
a dopey, dopey statement that's also completely not true. It
(14:12):
suffers from two problems. Time to fill up on the news.
Tony katz a ninety three WIBC, Good morning, What is
going on with you? Booboo doubt Futures down two ninety nine,
nasdak futures down three ninety one. I will explain oil
prices sixty dollars and twenty three cents. Interesting story about
(14:34):
oil prices. There's a story over there at OilPrice dot
com about what happens if oil per barrel on the
West Texas gets to fifty dollars a barrel. And it's
an interesting question because I think we'd all go woooo.
(14:57):
The argument being made here is it's going to put
an end to shale growth in the United States. Right
how they're able to extract things from from from the
ground in other ways, very very very interesting look at things.
You want to have somebody give you an interesting look.

three one seven nine hundred Home tenure treasury at four
point zero nine to three and gold prices at three
nine hundred and seventy eight dollars, so under four thousand.
It was at the high, it was a little over
four thousand and so far this morning right now the
bid thirty nine seventy eight silver, forty seven dollars and
(16:06):
forty seven cents. But it's interesting about oil, it's interesting
about the shale in that market. But there's a question
of why are we down? Futures down three hundred, now
is back down four hundred. CNBC with an interesting story
that the S and P is sliding one percent because
Palanteer is down, and what is their concern? Maybe these
(16:29):
AI stocks are valued a little too high? Oh okay,
that that's enough to shake people, because as we know
through our conversations, AI stocks are driving everything. AI investment
is everything, and there doesn't seem to be a stop
in sight. It is uh, it is massive. So they
(17:01):
dropped seven percent in the pre market. Even though they're
beating guide. They're beating estimates. For the third quarter. They
saw one point three to three billion in revenue for
the period, higher than the one point one to nine expected.

Tony Katz ninety three WIBC. Good morning. It's time to
play America's favorite game. What the heck is that television
theme song? Tony Katz at ninety three WIBC, Good morning,
good to be with If you here is how we
play our our our game. Uh, producer Carl you you
(18:08):
you've seen producer Carl. By the way, we need to
get him a turkey for for Thanksgiving. So if anybody
has a recommendation or does premid turkeys that we can
have sent to or picked up by producer Carl. I
will do that right now. I will do that right now.
So make a suggestion. Uh, he picks a television theme
song from yesteryear. I have to guess what it is.
(18:30):
I can utilize the good people at the livestream YouTube
dot com'ss W I b C. They can give answers.
Or I can phone a friend and go to Matt Bear.
So I didn't say I was going to do that.
Don't don't. Don't rush it. You don't want to premature
phone a friend. Premature phoning is not is a condition
(18:55):
that you need to see a doctor about. So I
can phone a friend and I will Matt Bear in
the WYBC traffic center. Let's start the theme song again.
Let's start all again. Matt Bear, what is this television
(19:22):
theme song? That's Deadwood? Tony?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Oh? Deadwood? Bravo, by the way, Bravo. God, he's good.
I have absolutely no idea, and nobody else does.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Either think spin off? What think spinoff?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
So one person did have this? Uh, Mikey or Shatner.
Fan in the chat room says, this is the theme
song to Joey.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Good lord, it lasts two years.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Joey, right, he was not wrong to do that. And
then he'd hit with Man with a Plan, and he's like,
you know what, I have so much money, what does
it matter. I'm good he has managed to But then
he had another show after that, didn't He didn't Matt
(20:23):
LeBlanc have another show after.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Man with a Plan playing a dumb guy. I know
it was like a cable show, don't now right?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I mean Triviani who is who he's known for? Oh, episodes,
there was a television show called Episodes. I don't know
if those HBO or what it was. Yeah, he did that.
He did that twenty eleven to twenty seventeen. He did
Man with a Plan twenty sixteen to twenty twenty, and
then he said, you know what, I'm good here. I
(20:57):
have more money than I know what to do with.
Universally loved. We're good, We're totally fine. Nothing else to offer,
Thank you, Cleveland good. His IMDb, comparatively speaking, is actually
pretty short, and he has done He did two hundred
(21:20):
and thirty five episodes of Friends, forty six episodes of Joey,
forty one episodes of the show Episodes, and sixty nine
episodes a Man with a Plan. That's four hundred television episodes.
Life's okay, Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I'm assuming every morning
(21:45):
he wakes up, he turns on his laptop, he looks
at the bank account, and he goes, how you doing,
and then he has coffee. Right, that's gotta be. I
should have done it louder. How you doing? Right? That
would have been funnier. Dag it on Tony Katz. Today
at noon, we've got election day going on in New York,
(22:05):
election day in Virginia, election day in New Jersey, and
of course the election in California for Prop fifty that
would allow them to redistrict that Democrats seemingly have no
problem with. Unless you're the state of Indiana. Note that Republicans, Oh,
we don't do that here, that's beneath us. Would you
(22:27):
stop it? Would you stop pretending that somehow there is
a high ground conversation here or a low ground conversation here.
There is only the conversation here redistricting. I say do it.
Although now that Republicans have said we're not going to
start the special session before the session organization day is
(22:49):
November eighteenth, We're going to start it afterwards in December.
So you wanted to avoid Thanksgiving, and now you're going
to have to get this pass, get maps drawn, get
it done, and implement it in a shorter timeframe. Understand
that this is all the fault of Governor Brown, who
(23:09):
should have called the special session back in August. We're
talking about time. This is what we're talking about, and
that's why all of this has left me in the place.
Certainly hasn't changed my mind or districting. What it has
done has made me say, I believe this move is
to not do it. If I was a betting man, remember,
(23:33):
I have my thoughts, I have my philosophies. I share
them with you clearly. But we always look at everything honestly.
The difference between us and everybody else is that we
are always honest about what it is we're seeing, and
it's why we're able to see around the corner so often.
It's not that we're actually smarter than anybody else. It's
that we're more honest than everybody else. That's the story.
And if I was a betting man right now, I
(23:56):
would argue that the purpose of this pushing it down
the road after Thanksgiving is not well, it's going to
save the taxpayer that's the story, that's the cover. It's
that they're going to say they can't get it done,
they don't want this to come to a vote. I
believe they have gotten very, very very bad advice, and
(24:18):
one of the worst pieces of advice is this is
going to rally the Democrats in twenty twenty six. With
all due respect, they hate you already and everything they
do is based on a national platform. It is a
complete and total misread to think that this is going
to rally them any more than they are already rallied.
(24:42):
But there is not a conversation happening that needs to
about where the Republican Party is to turn out the
vote in twenty twenty six. I don't see anything like that.
Concerns that there's going to be a Democrat turnout because
of districting. That's what people tell themselves. There is no
(25:05):
basis for this, none at all. That is what you
tell yourself as a reason not to do the thing,
because we don't want to be those people. What people
a you're referring to California is now doing it a
full act of retribution. We'll see what they vote today,
(25:25):
a full act of retribution. Maryland's doing it a full
act of retribution and oh no we're above that. No, no,
you're not, Indiana Republicans. I don't know what you think
you're above. I'd like for you to be focused on
(25:47):
the governing and growth and opportunities and the future. But
again I say to you, we don't see that. I
would turn to the Democratic Party and say, what do
you got? But we know the answer. Orange Man bad
is there entire platform? And that platform sucks. It's election
day and we will be covering it. And yes, I'll
live stream it tonight. I will kick my feet up,
(26:10):
grab a bourbon, and share with you what's going on.
So be tuned in for that.
