Speaker 1 (00:14):
Ten flight productions. I'd actually love to hear from someone
over at the airport to give us an idea on
how this is going to affect Indianapolis International Airport. Tony Katz,
ninety three WIBC, Good morning. This was Sean Duppy, the
(00:38):
Secretary of Transportation, stating quite clearly we don't have the people.
They have walked off the job because they are not
getting paid in this government shutdown.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
He was.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Very very clear in regard to your traffic control.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
We've had a conversation over the course of the last
month about some of the challenges that we're having in
the airspace. Many of you know that we are two
thousand controllers short, air traffic controller short, and we have
surged our academy to bring more controllers into our system.
We are twenty percent up in controllers through the academy.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Thus far this year.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I've also offered air traffic controllers who are of the
age of retirement a twenty percent upfront cash bonus to
actually stay on. Some of the best controllers we have,
don't retire, keep working for us. All of that has
been reducing the pressure on the staffing side of air
traffic control. It's working but it takes years to bring
(01:42):
more well trained, certified controllers into the airspace.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You don't rush that stuff. It's like Bourbon. It can't
be rushed. It needs the time in order to mature.
Oh sure, you can just have any old whiskey and
I'm not going to tell you no, but you're not
going to have the same smooth landing. My gosh, that's
a very good analysis right there. Bravo to me, well done,
well played. You know what, I've put that in the
(02:08):
Marconi nomination. That's where that's going. You can caring air
traffic controllers to Bourbon and get that on NPR. That's
not happening, but the effect is going to be everywhere.
And if the effect, if the reduction happens in places
like Atlanta or New York, Chicago, these major hubs, of
(02:29):
course you're going to feel the effects if you have
any level of connection. So as you're traveling, as you're flying,
be prepared for the delays. Don't be yelling at the staff,
don't be yelling at other people. Hang loose, bring snacks
all right, and to the airlines provide snacks. Don't tell
(02:52):
these people who did nothing wrong that somehow they have
to spend eleven dollars on whatever airport coffee there is,
and to the airport, no eleven dollars coffee. Please look
at that. I'm just solving all the problems left and right.
My gosh, it's going to be a fantastic morning. Tony Katz,
that's me, by the way, ninety three WIBC, Good morning. Yesterday,
(03:17):
the Trump administration goes in front of the Supreme Court
and says, you know these tariffs, Yeah, yeah, yeah, we
can do this, we can do this. And the Supreme
Court says, not so sure, not so sure, you can
(03:38):
do this, and and and the Trump administration, through the
Solicitor General, is like, oh no, no, no, we can
do this. And the Supreme Court kind of tilted their
head and they were like, well huh. It wasn't a
great day for them yesterday. Be clear, don't know what
(03:58):
the Court's going to do. No one does. But a
first blush. This did not go the way the Trump
administration wanted it to. Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, Good morning,
Good to be with you. This is all about the IEEPA.
So this is about whether or not the president has
(04:19):
the unilateral authority to impose a tariff utilizing these emergency powers.
The solicitor General making the case for the administration for
the country, if you will, is John Sower. His argument
(04:39):
was that the president's power to regulate foreign financial transactions
when he declares an emergency includes the authority to impose taris.
The justices said, you know, taris are taxes, So how
in the world does the president impose a tax on
the American people. That's not how it works. It has
(05:01):
tom and A from Congress. The argument rests on the
idea of how much or how does the president? What
does it read? What is a clear reading of the
(05:22):
statute state this is the International Emergency Economic Powers Act
of nineteen seventy seven. The part of the statement, part
of the writing of the of the legislation, if you will,
(05:47):
discusses whether or not or where the president's power is
in terms of being able to regulate. So part of
the statement reads that the truck that the president can
regulate tariffs, can can regulate through these powers things coming
(06:07):
into the country, which would mean goods and services, and
what the administration says is that includes the ability to
tariff them. The argument is you could state whether something
is allowed to be sold, whether it's allowed entrance into
the nation, But it is a much different thing by
(06:30):
leaps and bounds to make the statement that you can
de facto just offer up some tax to it and
everybody just goes along with it. That's not how any
(06:52):
of this works. Now, this has gotten and taken on
a little bit of a weird life of its own
because some people have started to ask what I consider
to be a truly ridiculous question.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Pointed ones coming from all sides of the court.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
They're very pointed questions.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
But we can just start with Chief Justices Robberts. Why
not use the chief justice? As he mentioned, generally, the
Congress has the power to tax, and that's the power that's.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Reserved only for them.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Trump's lawyers of the administration lawyers are saying that this
isn't a tax. What they're doing is essentially regulating imports.
This is more about foreign policy, and what they're doing
is trying to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States,
So they're regulating import to allow that to happen, and
that any taxes that comes from that is incidental.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
The lawyers on the other side are saying.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
As bs, this is a tax and only.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
The Congress has the right to do that.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Now, it is a note that just as the Leito
did bring up that in emergency situations, the president does
have more power, and we're going to hear this question
answered of Trump has this this notion now that he
can decide when it's an emergency, and he's tried to
use that with immigration, he tried to use that with terrorists.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
I think we're going to get an answer as.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
To whether or not a president can unilaterally decide when
it's an emergency, so he should get more.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Power if it's not the president who decides it's an emergency.
We already know on a military side that if the
country should be invaded, you don't have to wait for
the declaration of war to defend the nation. We already
know this to be true. How is it possible that
(08:35):
anybody other than the chief executive could declare an emergency?
How else could that possibly work? What an odd statement
there from CNN from one of their commentators. And it's
an odd statement because on its face it hits you
as well. If not the president, then who Now you
(08:56):
could argue, well, if not the president, then it's going
to be Congress. You can argue that. You could also
argue that emergency powers may very well have some kind
of wait for it time limit. You could make that
(09:17):
argument that simply it does not go on for forever.
It can't go on for forever. So this this conversation
in front of the Supreme Court yesterday, when I say
it didn't go the way that the President wanted, it's
(09:39):
because the pushback to the Solicitor General sour was, it's
a tax. You know, it's a tax. Tax come from
the House. What do you think you're doing, Meaning that
if there was a pause on allowing the import that
would be allowed. If you are utilizing the emergency to
(10:04):
make dollars gain revenue, that isn't its purpose as a
matter of just the law itself, the Emergency Powers Act itself.
That was the initial read on it, and it's we
won't see a decision for a couple of months, but
that was the first take. Oh, I don't like the
(10:27):
fact that this is the way it went down. I'm
just sharing with you how it's going down. But this
idea that the president can't declare the emergency is such
a radical idea. You can't hate Trump so much oh wait,
of course they can. But you can't hate Trump so
(10:48):
much that you want to take away from the president
the ability to denote or to proclaim the emergency and
then take action. If the president can't declare an emergency
regard guarding adversaries nations that he believes are treating us wrong,
can you declare an emergency on a storm? And you
(11:10):
say to me what the legislation says this? The legislation
says that now you want carve outs. We vote for
somebody to make these choices. You might not like the choices.
To say no to this, It's going to be harder
and harder to be able to respond to things quickly
when it's necessary. Right now, first blush, I think the
(11:37):
Trump administration is going to lose this argument. The follow
up is, this is only utilizing tariffs to the I
E E p A. I E E p A doesn't
mean that there aren't other tactics, so get ready for that.
I'm not gonna lie. I have so many options for
(11:58):
the music moment today at eight thirty five, presented by
killadent Removal dot Com. I I do not know which
one I'm gonna do. There are too many good choices
so good you'll have to tune in. And that's at
(12:19):
eight thirty five the TK Thursday Music Moment presented by
kill a Dent Removal Tony Katz. That is me, by
the way, ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Good to be
with you. What is this that we're holding back thousands
of students? Right? Is that? That was the story that
(12:41):
in the state of Indiana, we are now saying, hey,
we have certain demands here and if you're not meeting
the standard, no, no, just social promotion. We've got the
story at WIBC dot com via the Indiana Capitol Chronicle.
Three thousand students are repeating the third grade this school
(13:02):
year for not meeting state reading proficiency standards. Three point
six percent of the eighty four thousand children who took
the I Read were retained in third grade under the
first enforcement of a requirement approved by the legislature in
twenty twenty four. Now the question before us is is
(13:25):
this a good plan? The numbers dictate that two years
ago we held back four hundred and twelve children. Now
it's three thousand and forty children. The question, I think
should be asked as do we have a standard or not,
(13:46):
and it is painful to see a kid be left back.
It's painful for the parent, might be painful for the kid.
The kid gets over it like real quick. The important
thing here is that there's a way we look at
education as a whole. We have a standard and we're
(14:09):
going to adhere to it, and that standard is going
to mean that everybody does better. There can be exceptions.
If your kid's dyslexic, saying that there's a specific greeting proficiency,
that's a real problem. I don't say no to that,
and I think that should be worked into everything. That's
what IEPs are for individualized education plans and things like that.
(14:33):
But if you say that in the main you should
never leave a child back, that argument is the argument
for Oh, and while we're here, let's end the public schools,
let's break the teachers' unions in two and let's go
back to local municipalities handling everything, and let us decide
in our local communities how it works, which I favor. Regardless,
(14:55):
you either if you don't adhere to a standard, if
you don't believe in a standard, what do you believe in?
It's a question for those people who may have issue
with this concept. I think this concept is actually impressive
and it shows a seriousness about what it is we're
trying to get done here. And it shows parents that
(15:20):
to the extent that you're able to and you maybe
have to sacrifice a little. You got to read to
your kids, you gotta do homework with your kids. It's
it's not all screen time all the time, or whatever
else is getting in the way in the main. Tony Katz,
ninety three WIBC, Good Morning. It is possibly the quickest
(15:47):
election post mortem I've ever seen where Republicans are like, Okay,
we lost these races, all right, we have identified part
of the problem. Okay, we can fix this. Huh, what
do you know about that? Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC,
(16:09):
Good morning. Good to be with you. Affordability, Are you
actually telling me that Zaron, Mom Donnie hit on something
when it was a conversation about housing is unaffordable and
prices are too high, and that moved levels of the electorate.
(16:41):
Maybe it was this from President Trump speaking to Brett
Baer on Fox News.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Two dollars, I guess or later did that that brings
everything else down. A grocer is your way down. Other
than beef. Now, beef is going to come down. You know,
we have to do that. You remember when I started,
eggs were up by four times what they were previous.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
You know, it was in two days in the office,
and they.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Tell me about eggs.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
I solve that because the fact is we have prices
way down. We have prices down.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Are country is doing well.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
The stock markets hitting record highs like forty eight times
during my nine months, and just a couple of days
ago it hit another record high, like really record high.
It's it's great, and that equates it's not just rich people.
That's four o one case. I mean that equates to everybody.
And the country is doing very well. But as Republicans,
you have to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Now. I just want to ask for the record, what
is the show that has been discussing since the beginning.
If you want to add tariffs, you got to explain why.
If you're gonna go out there and say the prices
are lower, you got to go tell your story. Can
I get to show a hands? You gotta tell the story.
(17:55):
You got to explain your position because if you don't,
the other guy will explain your position for you. So
now I've got the president after mont Donnie gets elected, stating, yes,
beef prices are too high. No kidding. We have talked
about this a million times. If you listen to eat, drink, smoke,
(18:18):
we talk about it constantly. The supermarket beef prices are
through the roof. All of a sudden, I'm getting stories
left and right. Gotta focus on this idea of affordability.
(18:46):
It's the quickest post mortem I have ever seen from
the Republican It is this all right, all right, we
see that. Okay, we can fix this. Okay, let's go
to work. This is what I want. Now. There are,
(19:07):
of course, ridiculous headlines. What's really concerning Republicans after Tuesday's
romp romp off your election in states where it was
believed that the Republican would lose. You mean, things kind
of went as expected. Romp okay, dosha burns whatever, whatever
(19:29):
you want to put in there. I have people on
social media so desperate for attention. See, the problem is
you were yelling about the text messages of Republicans who
said some off color things. You weren't focused on the election.
Now you see you were talking too much about Tucker Carlson. No, no, no,
(19:51):
you're talking too much about this. Guys. People want to
know whether or not they're spending too much money. In
what you're doing to keep them from spa ending too
much money. We haven't learned anything from Bill Clinton. First,
what happens in the Oval office doesn't necessarily stay in
the Oval office. Second, it's the economy, stupid. We haven't
(20:16):
learned this lesson. You keep talking about Obamacare, for example,
what's your replacement plan? Uh still which, by the way,
the answer is, Oh, the market's fine, the market will
do the job. How about we allow that selling across
(20:36):
state lines for example. I was having this conversation with
someone last night. What happened to that idea? Why aren't
we doing things like that? These free market solutions that
could create more opportunity, allow for different pools of people,
therefore lowering costs. Why all of a sudden, the market
doesn't work. Nonsense. The people who don't believe the market
doesn't work are people desperate to control what happens in
(20:59):
your market. But this is quick to it. I've got
Trump saying it, I've got Politico with the story that
I have national review. Affordability will be everything in twenty
twenty six. You see, you can claim that somebody is
(21:21):
too woke from now to the end of time. But
the thing that moves Americans most is am I paying
less for gas? Am I paying less for beef? Can
I afford a house? And that can all be part
of a conversation that we win interesting interesting, interesting stuff.
The speed is the story here. So we're going to
(22:04):
start building drones in Indiana. We're gonna start investing in
drones in Indiana. Drone Creation. Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC,
Good morning. What is going down? An executive order signed
by Governor Mike Brawn establishing the Indiana Initiative for Drone
(22:25):
Dominance Task Force the IDDTF, Now that's what I called it.
An Indiana Initiative for Drone Dominance task Force asked to
develop a strategic plan leveraging the state's advanced manufacturing industry,
(22:45):
expertise for the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division, and
restricted airspace over assets including Camp Batterbury. I don't think
it's a bad idea. Drones are national security, drones have
economic impact, very very interesting that what we're seeing here. First,
(23:07):
you know, there was the conversation about nuclear in Indiana
and nuclear power. First, American Nuclear is going to establish
an energy park and manufacturing facilities in the state. According
to the governor, of five thousand jobs will be coming
high paying. I don't know what is necessarily meant by
(23:29):
high paying. So we're moving on nuclear and we're moving
on drone. These are the first moves that I have
seen that talk about any level of smart growth, because
what has happened via the IEDC has been an outrageous
hot mess, and the governor should be made aware of that.
(23:52):
The removal of the former members, the addition of these members.
I don't think any of them are bad people. I
am saying out loud that none of them are in
the industries that Braun is now going after. So you've
created this IEDC not to help you go out there
and get the business. The whole thing is peculiar. But
(24:16):
I like both of these moves. Someone in the chat
room says, a lot of work for the electrical grid
if we are putting nuclear online. Nope, And this is
really a conversation with the SMRs, the small modular reactors,
which at first and second look, I fully favor, certainly
more research to do, but it's a movement in a
(24:39):
direction that I think is valuable, but it doesn't answer
the question of why the change of the IEDC, and
what's the purpose of the IDC. What's the purpose? Because
right now I don't see them going after anything. I
see no growth. What I see us is Indiana losing
and losing quite a bit. That's a problem. Keeping an
(25:06):
eye on this. Tony Katz in ninety three WIBC. Good morning,

The Popcorn Moment, Let's go, Let's go, let clo.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
What we changed the opening? It is a better day here,
Tony Kats in the Morning News. Someone gave Carl control
and he has lost his dang mind. Just telling you
what happened. If if you're upset with the new opening
(27:01):
to the Popcorn Moment, send your hate mail to Casey
Daniels at yahoo dot com. Carl will be sure to
get it. You will be sure to get it. A
host of things that I could have shared with you
regarding the Popcorn Moment, some things to get into about
(27:24):
this election that took place on Tuesday and the Mamdani
conversation the Mayor elect of New York. First there was
this from the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
I left in twenty twenty build the Blasio chase me out.
I couldn't take it anymore. And yeah, I want to
congratulate the people who voted for Mondanmi and you welcome
to Caracas on the Hudson. Welcome to Caracas on the Hudson.
I don't know who's going to be more responsible for
(28:01):
the bump in Miami real estate, Maduro or Mondami.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
And you know, I know you've hedged.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
You've got an apartment in New York and a house
in Connecticut. I'm told that Connecticut realtors are already very busy.
And you know, look, I had thirty thirty five great
years in New York. I wish New York the best,
but I think that they've chosen the worst. And people
have to learn from experience.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
That they do that they do. The people of New
York made a decision and they have to live with
that decision. I have seen center Jim Banks, the Attorney
General Todd Roke to say, hey, bring your business to Indiana.
I want you to know I absolutely favor this, and
I was serious, and I know that the governor's team listens.
(28:54):
I absolutely will lead that charge because I know how
to speak New York. So let me handle this. I
could speak both languages. Now, after eleven and a half years,
I can do this. No, no, no, you don't get to
bring your politics with you. No no, no, no, no, no,
no no no. See, nobody I think could do a
(29:17):
better job than me in explaining why they should bring
their business to Indiana. And the last thing in the
world you need is to stay in New York. Oh,
I think I could explain it pretty good to people.
You bring me good stuff, you leave the bad stuff.
We don't want to hear about the bad stuff. No, no, no.
(29:39):
You think you have an idea, You ain't got no ideas.
You never heard of an idea. You don't know nothing
about an idea. You never saw an idea before. Maybe
you weren't there, maybe you were in the bathroom. You
don't know. What you do know is you got a
nice business, and we think it would be nice if
nothing happened to it, but you were actually able to
grow it. You should come to Indiana. We got a
lot of lovely spots, believe it or not, some very
good piece so too. No, no, no, trust me on this.
(30:01):
Don't don't insult me. Try the pizza, then you decide.
But those politics, No, no, you can't bring that with you.
No no, we ain't got no room for that. No no, no,
you ain't gonna be able to bring that. You try
and bring that, We're gonna bring you to Illinois. So
don't you even try. Don't you even try that. I
get Sylvia over here, take care of everything. Good talk,
good talk, pleas your hut. I can do this. I
(30:24):
am the guy to do this. I was built for
a purpose, and this is it. Cam. I cannot believe
Governor Brown has not called yet. What are you doing
all day? Oh? Keeping an eye on the scandals of
your lieutenant governor? All right? Maybe maybe no too soon? No, yes, ruling.
(30:47):
I think I'm fine. We'll get into Michael Beckworth coming
up in a little bit, in a little bit, but
there there's much more about the the UH race that
I want to get to, about what took place in
New York, and I really want to break down something
some numbers that are very important because I think a
(31:08):
lot of people are overreacting. But Bonnie on the live stream,
you know, we live stream over at YouTube YouTube dot
com slash wibc. Why do we need to crowd Indiana? Okay,
we are getting into it, and I think that this
is going to be you know, I've been talking about
doing more events and I am planning nine in in
(31:32):
twenty twenty six, large scale and small scale like some
salon type events. And so I've had some farmers reach out.
I will get back to you, guys. I want to
do an event with you again, but I want to
do it in a public setting. I think in this roundtable,
small group, this question is a big one. Why do
we need to crowd Indiana? It is obvious that we
(31:57):
have a split in Indiana regarding how we grow, and
that there is a real desire in certain pockets of
the state not to grow. They don't want it. They
want to stay allegedly wholesome. They want to stay a
(32:21):
more simple is the wrong word. I don't mean that
in a disparaging way. They don't want the things that
come with growth, let's call it traffic now, they'll lose
out on the things that come with growth, like dollars.
I don't want to force some town somewhere in our
(32:44):
great state to take any business, but as a matter
of just existing, it is a radical idea to not
want to grow. And a state that were to state
we are not interested in growth is a state that
will be believed and it will be over. Part of
(33:07):
my issues is I brought up the IEDC earlier. You
make these moves to make Indiana a place that's attractive,
and you work on this, and you work on this,
and you work on this, and you're starting to see
results and interest and activity, and then pull the plug
as we have. It's very obvious that we have. I
(33:31):
think it's a huge mistake. And this desire of well,
we don't need the IEDC, We should want groups within
the states to go out there and attract business. That's
different than whether or not we should be spending money
to get these businesses, whether or not we should have
these investment groups to invest in these businesses. That's a
(33:51):
different argument. But on the very basis, shouldn't we be
doing outreach, we shouldn't be. We shouldn't be selling our story.
I'm sorry. That is backwards, That is backwards thinking, and
that should be fought. We should be forward thinking. We
should say this is the place to be. We should
(34:14):
be the capital of the Midwest. We should plant our
flag and declare it so so. No, it's not crowding Indiana.
And look around, we've got room. I don't want to
get rid of farms. I'm saying we've got room. We
should be smart about our growth. We should be deliberate
(34:36):
about our growth. But we should grow. And I believe
that the people who think otherwise are wrong and the
long term detrimental that they would provide man that is
not better for your life, my life, for the life
of our kids. Today on the marketplace, I assume if
(34:57):
you wear this to a cults game, you will get arrested.
That's my tape. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning,
Good to be with you. During downtime, clearing my head,
getting ready for what's next. On the show, I find
myself on Facebook marketplace. Cool stuff, odd stuff, unique stuff,
crazed stuff is all there on the marketplace. And the
(35:18):
marketplace segment is brought to you by Indiana Unclaimed dot

slash wibc and Yes chatroom. The moon looked amazing this morning.
If you haven't looked outside, my wife, my youngest, we're
talking about it. Spectacular look at the moon this morning.
Speaking of moons, Matt Bearr Is on the live stream
Hello along with producer Carl And. Now, I believe Matt
(36:06):
bear that you are a fan of the Indianapolis football cults.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
I love the cult so much.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
So much, not just a little bit so much.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
I watch every game.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
You watch all the games from the comfort of your
thirteen inch black and white TV.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
Yeah, it's it's it's poor, it's poor TV.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
And and I believe that you are also a fan
of Deadpool the movie.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Yeah, oh it's funny.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Very and the and the comic strip.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Very adult adult movie.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Right, the very adult. And I heard that often when
you're at home watching the game, you are wearing your
Deadpool mask I do, and I.
Speaker 8 (36:46):
Do superhero like things, you know, I fly off the
balcon and go whoosh right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Right, and you go whooshush. This right here is an
Indianapolis cult Deadpool mask. Okay, cool, it's it's a mask
that you wear over your head. And instead of being
the red and black Deadpool, it's in like a like
a light gray and blue. And it's got the Colts
(37:11):
logos on the side. Okay, and it's got a cold
slogo in the back the back of the head right there.
So I assume that if you wear this to a
Colts game, you will immediately be tackled by IMPD and arrested.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
I hope not.
Speaker 8 (37:25):
This is that Tony Kaz I go to Facebook marketplace
and oh, this is a GIF mask.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
Okay, wow, well it does look like a GIF mask.
You know, it's got a little mask into it. Yeah,
it's something you would wear.
Speaker 8 (37:38):
And you know it looks very uh, very body armori ish.
And there are no air holes in the nose or
mouth that that kind of concerns made.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
It might be breathable. It might just be a breathable Yeah,
I just be wicking.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
There are things here. I mean you might. It's just
it looks uncomfortable to put on your.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Head hold on Matt before anything. I just want I
need to say, hey, kids, be sure to ask your
parents what a gimp mask is.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
It's good to know from them. They'll give you an
appropriate answer.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
And I think it's important. I think it's important that
not only that you ask your parents, but when you
when you ask them, you you you videotape the answer
so we can have.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
It here for your first TikTok.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Ever. Just everyone's going to learn. Everyone's going to learn,
Matt Bear. This mask is one hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Why why why that expensive? I mean, is it? Is
it shipping free at least?
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (38:42):
No, one hundred twenty dollars of shipped one hundred and
twenty dollars of shipped one hundred dollars have picked up
in Peoria, Illinois.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Right, one hundred twenty dollars if shipped one hundred dollars
have picked up locally in Peoria. Guy lives in Peoria.
But he's a big Colts fan.
Speaker 8 (38:55):
Yeah no, no, God bless him, thank you, thank you
for our citty.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
No, I'm not in for this.
Speaker 8 (39:02):
I don't want to drive to Peoria, and I don't
want to suffocate and I don't want to be a gamp.
So I have three reasons, three very good reasons not
to buy this mask.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Okay, I want to just say for the record that
Tony Kats today my midday show is on the air
in Peoria, Illinois. It's a fantastic city. It's with amazing people,
and I for one love them and I would drive
out there anytime they have.
Speaker 8 (39:22):
Seventy four is a great interstate and that's because of Peoria.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
But if you wear this mask to a cults game,
you are going to get tackled by police. It's going
to happen.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
You're gonna get tackled by somebody.
Speaker 8 (39:32):
Let's say that somebody's going to tackle you know, but
a dungeon, maybe somebody's basement.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Oh wow, you took it to a place. Back to
the game. Listen.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
I know what happens when you wear a mask like this.
Speaker 8 (39:44):
I mean from people to tell, from people that tell me,
And I just I'm trying to.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
Advise people that you know, it's it's a dangerous life.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
You know what happens when you wear a mask like this.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
It's not it's like it's like I have a friend
of a friend who wore a mask like.
Speaker 8 (40:00):
This one time, and I haven't seen him in about
two years, so that's almost.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
There's a lot to learn about Matt Bear everybody. The
poll listing is over there at the Facebook marketplace of
the faithbook marketplace is over there at WIBC dot com.
Be sure to check it out for yourself. Tony Katz,
ninety three, WIBC, Good morning. I have stated before very
clearly that Micah Beckwith's political career is over. Of course,
(40:33):
the people of Indiana could somehow decide that he should
be Lieutenant governor again or something else, and I will
sit there be fuddled and baffled and confused. The lack
of anything that I would argue that presents him as
someone with a message that grows this state completely missing
(41:00):
from him, a total level of disconnect with Hoosiers as
a whole. But rather it's about, hey, how can I
be seen in this photo, in this image, in this
thing next. There's so much of Lieutenant Governor Beckworth that
I think is stagecraft as opposed to theory and philosophy.
(41:26):
Tony Katz, ninety three, WIBC, good morning, Good to be
with you. He cannot like me. He doesn't like me. Fine,
you got it. But I think you're bad at your job.
And I think that you have embarrassed yourself. I think
that you are starting with the idea of ninety thousand
dollars trucks. We have the right to say that's not
(41:49):
what we want. I think the idea that you are
some kind of check or balance to Governor Brawn or
to the General Assembly. You've proven that's not the case.
People voted for you in this big push to get
a different way of bringing in the lieutenant governor and
utilizing the system. And I don't know what they got.
(42:13):
I don't know what they got except for somebody who
takes a lot of photos and skinny jeans. Hey, man,
if you like them, you wear them. Who am I
to say? Right? You know, I can't get away with
skinny jeans, but you know, hey, if it works for you.
But I came across this story that you've seen people
talk about that. Uh. Lieutenant Governor beck With received a
(42:37):
written reprimand from Roderick Bray, the Senate President pro Tem,
this back in February regarding posts and uncommon behavior presiding
over the Senate the story here as I read it
(42:59):
comes from a statement from a former advisor of his,
Aaron Sheridan. Aaron Sheridan is the one who makes the
claim that she saw the AI video. Remember this claim
of an AI video that Tom Lobianco wrote about that
there's this video that was in Beckworth's office of a
(43:20):
state senator's wife topless right and oh my gosh. And
Aaron Sheridan said she saw it, and she came on
to this station to make that claim. There comes a
moment where I have to ask, all of these stories
come from one person. It sounds like retribution. I believe
(43:48):
that there's an argument to be made against Michael Beckwith
being the lieutenant governor and exposing his failure based on him.
But I've been told now about this video, this AI
video from and there is no proof of it. Well, Tony,
you're never going to see proof of it, then, all
due respect, I have no way of proving it actually happened.
(44:08):
And I can discuss actual things that Michael Beckwith is doing,
then I think are disqualifying. I do not have to
make them up or go about chasing down what is
clearly a ghost unless it's not show me the video,
show somebody the video. Now Aaron Sheridan going to local
(44:29):
outlets to say, oh this, oh that, I wouldn't doubt
that there was a written reprimand now I think the question,
of course, is for the Senate ProTem to produce the
reprimand if it came from the Senate ProTem, it should
be public. Well, now I want to see it because
(44:53):
what I would like is the proof that it actually happened.
Sheridan says that Becklett dismissed it and said, well, actually
the quote is the Lieutenant Governor basically said too bad.
So sad, I'm going to continue behaving that way, get
used to it, and I just about died. I'm sorry,
(45:15):
I'm gonna put a stop to this. This isn't news.
There's plenty to discuss regarding the Lieutenant governor. There's plenty
to discuss regarding the Secretary of State to which the
Republican Party is backing Diego Morales. I do not know
what is wrong with you, but you are wrong Republican
Party wrong. Time to be better at what you do
(45:41):
and I do, as a matter of course, have serious
issue that Aaron Sheridan has been hired by Abdullah, Quim
Schabaz and Indie politics. Does this make her now off limits?
I question the maneuver people can have jobs. I question
here she is telling us that gets repeated by this group,
(46:02):
and now she gets hired by someone within that group.
I don't know what to do with that information. And
I don't know why in the world I would stay
silent about seeing something that in any other parlance I
would say, or any other situation I would say that's peculiar.
I have no reason to call Aaron Sheridan a liar,
and I am not. She says she saw the video.
(46:22):
I just want to see the video. She says, this
thing happened. I want proof of the things. Because we
have so many provable things, I don't need to add
to it with things that are now questioned. So, as
(46:55):
you heard Ryan Hendrick discussed on the top of the
Hour News, we have not benefit being delayed Food Nutrition
Service updating directions for determining the maximum amount of benefits
each household will receive because the allotment was reduced by
fifty percent. This was the argument. Some judge says, hey,
(47:17):
you have to fund the snap benefits, and the White
House says we don't have the money in the fund
to fund fully fund them, so therefore we can't fund it.
And the judge said you have to fund it, and
they were like, okay, but we don't have all the money.
So you figured it out, States, or you figured out everybody.
So now Indiana Family and Social Services announcing that November
(47:41):
snap benefits will be delayed because of this revised formula
for calculation. Anything you think about the shutdown is not
the story just at this moment. The story, just at
this moment is making sure your neighbor can feed themselves
and feed their kids. There's a food pantry near you.
(48:02):
Go to it, go get it done, drop off the
food if you can, not telling you that you have to.
If you can't, there's no There are plenty ways to
be helpful, and it doesn't have to be this way.
We have too many people on these benefits. We have
(48:23):
too many people who shouldn't be on these benefits on
these benefits. That is all true. That has to be
dealt with. And the people who scream and yell about
removals from these benefits I have very little time for
because what they favor is dependency, and what they favor
is you paying more. They're hateful people. Nope, not putting
(48:45):
up with them. But we have neighbors who are going
to be in need and we have to deal with
that reality because of this shutdown. So food pantries. Get
it done. By the way, Matt Bear, the donation to
the Harbor Light Center there was Salvation Army was made
this week.
Speaker 4 (49:06):
Thank you well in your name.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
There should be. You should have gotten an email. We
had done the coffee, the Morning Blend coffee that we
do with Matt Bear's name, the joy ride and the
road rage and made that donation to the Harbor Light Center,
which helps people in recovery. That's where Matt wanted it
to go. Regardless of my issues with the Salvation Army,
that's what Matt wanted. That's what Matt got. So that
(49:29):
donation was indeed a maid. I still have some coffee.
I'll get that out to people. Can't do everything I
do as much as I can. That's all there is.
Being supportive of your neighbor is something you can do.
My advice is get it done because every political conversation
(49:50):
about the shutdown doesn't change the fact that your neighbor
might need help. Give him the help. I don't actually
think there's any other way to view it. Tony Katz,
that's me by the way, ninety three WIBC, Good morning.
I don't know if you've seen this video of these
(50:15):
two Jets fans, these kids, and the dad is recording them.
He's a Jets season tickets holder and he's recording his
kids after they learned that Sauce Gardner was traded from
the Jets to the Colts. Tony Kats ninety three WIBC,
(50:35):
good morning. I don't think there's any cursing in this, producer, Carl,
but finger on the dumb button just in case. And
the dad's recording the kids, and the kids like one
kid's asking question, the other kids is just he's just
crying his eyes out at this stage, and.
Speaker 9 (50:52):
It's okay, okay, the Jets treaded Sauce today. No, it's okay.
I'll get you a different one. He went to Indianapolis
and they also treated They also traded Quinn Williams.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
He did, but sort of Sauce Jets. No Jets fan
likes the Jets. They're the Jets. That's all there is.
So the video keeps going and the kid is like
I'm a Colts fan. Now, this video makes its way
(51:36):
because it went pretty viral, makes its way to Sauce Gardner,
who is clearly in Indianapolis wearing a Colts jersey and
does this thoughts went to the Colts. It's okay, that's
going on, right, Trey.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
I just want to say, I appreciate you all for
the support that being said, I'm gonna give you a
two of my first Coast jerseys.
Speaker 1 (51:59):
And signed the jerseys and sent them to these kids.
Sometimes you got to wonder whether these things are all
just made for TV moments. Right, it worked out too perfectly, right,
move right, play. You are going to see that kid,
probably not in Berlin where the Colts play this weekend
(52:20):
and then it's bye week, but you will see that
kid and and his dad at a at a Colts game.
They will be there at Lucas well. That's going to come.
It's going to happen, nicely played by the Colts and
by Sauce Gardner. Nice to see that some other people
(52:42):
are picking up that the Wall Street Journal was very
very wrong in their conversation. A little over a week
ago regarding self defense. The Wall Street Journal had put
out a story six words every killer should know I
heard from my life officer, and there was this documentary
(53:04):
on Netflix. I think it was Netflix that was an
issue in and of itself. But you know what happens
when you've got weird neighbors, and neighbors won't leave neighbors alone.
And this woman shot through the door and killed her neighbor,
and she went to jail for it, and rightfully so
in my view. But still there's a story there about
however wood treats everyone. But the idea that you shouldn't
(53:26):
be able to protect and defend yourself. They're making the
argument that somehow you could just make it up. You can't.
This woman said she feared for her life, but she
still went to jail, and I'm happy to see shooting.
News Weekly had the story that this is a really
ugly take regarding stand your ground laws, castle doctrine, a
(53:48):
whole host of things. We should be encouraging people in
the United States to protect and defend themselves. Absolutely, we
should be encouraging people to buy guns, buy get trained.
It is not the other way around. The other way
around is sad and dangerous and destructive. This way allows
(54:09):
people positivity and opportunity and the conversation of the arms
society is the polite society. Well, I believe that to
be true, and maybe you don't even have to engage
it that way. If you choose not to to be
unable to defend your family does not make you somebody
(54:30):
responsible for your family. That's my argument, and my argument
can be made even far more personal than that. I'm
just not going to engage it today. Then there is
the Mom Donnie election and I saw a post about
(54:53):
the victory Jacob Stewart, who does opinion over at the
Indie Star. Are I think worthy, Some I think are mistaken,
but it's opinions right thinking about anybody. The main electoral
problem faced by capitalism is there aren't enough capitalists. I
think that's my biggest takeaway from the New York City
mayoral race, and he shared, you know, the screenshot of
(55:18):
Mamdani winning. I would agree that we need more capitalists.
And in order to get more capitalists, one has to
stop sending their kids to universities where they are clearly
in every single way indoctrinated into some very very radical hate.
(55:41):
If you take a look at the data, if there
was no high school degree a high school graduate, some
college or an associate's degree. They all voted for for
Cuomo or for Sliwa. Only those with bachelor's degrees and
advanced degrees went for Mamdani. And you can say to me, well,
that means the educated people know how to properly vote. No,
(56:01):
it doesn't. The idea that someone would call them educated
is if the other people are uneducated because they don't
have what these elitists have decided was the proper sheepskin
hanging on their wall. That is the fundamental problem. That
is a proof of concept of what I'm saying regarding
what universities are actually doing. And if you send your
(56:24):
kid to those universities, with all due respect, you're failing
your child. Stop it. Oh but their friends go there.
Oh but as this good program. None of that actually
matters for the record, But there's a story here. Data
tells stories, and if you take a look at the data,
(56:48):
you see something else. You take a look at the numbers,
the same numbers that Jacob posted on Twitter, actually can
see it. I actually have the same exact graphic from
NBC News. Two million, fifty five thousand total votes, two million,
(57:15):
fifty five thousand that's that's weird how many people live
in New York City because we're talking about the takeaway.
The takeaway here isn't that there aren't enough capitalists. There
should just be more capitalists. Eight point four million people
(57:36):
live in New York. Eight point four million people live
in New York. Let's go back to the number two
million people voted in the election. You mean less than
twenty five percent of the people voted in the election.
And in the election, Zoron Mamdani got one million, thirty
(57:59):
six thousand es. So half you're telling me, in a
city with eight point four million people, Zoron Mamdani got
twelve and a half percent of the vote. And it's
proof that everybody's a communist. Now, I think everybody needs
(58:21):
to start, you know, taking a deep, deep, deep breath.
Is Mamdani bad for New York? Absolutely? Are his policies
guaranteed failures. Absolutely. If people tell me that you can't
keep talking about liberal white women and think they're going
to come to your side, I don't think they're going
to come to my side. I'm making a different argument.
(58:43):
Why is it that we continue to send kids to
universities that then become these liberal students. Well, Tony, you
brought up liberal white women, because there is absolutely that
you don't have this victory from Mandani. If women don't
vote for him, why are women voting the way that
they do. It's an interesting question. Is a specific to
women in general? No, because they're playing conservative women who
(59:03):
would not dare vote for someone like him. But if
we want the real takeaway, and there is something to
be said about how women and men vote, there is.
It's a worthy conversation, one that can be done with decency. Yes,
I make fun of the women of Westbrook Clay. They
deserve it. The takeaway from the Mamdani election is not
(59:28):
that there aren't enough capitalists, although there should be. It's
not that we're all going to everybody's a communist. Now,
that's not it either. Two and a half million, two
million votes, two million, fifty five thousand, and he got
fifty point four percent of the vote out of eight
(59:53):
point four million people. Less than twelve and a half
percent of New Yorkers voted for the guy. The story
here is about voter turnout. The story here is absolutely not,
absolutely not about well, there's a mandate for this Marxism,
communism horse crap. This stuff is very defeatable, but one
(01:00:19):
has to be able to turn people out to vote
in order to do it. The numbers tell a story.
I'm sorry. All theme songs should be like this, all
of them. It's time to play America's favorite game. What
the heck is this a television theme song? Here's how
(01:00:40):
we play our game. Pretty sure Carl has picked a
television theme song from yesteryear. I have to guess what
it is. I love you, chat room, but I was
already there for you. But as usual, right I can
check with the chatroom on the livestream YouTube dot com,
slash WIBC. You get in there, you get to be
a part of it, and and I can check with them,
(01:01:02):
or I can check with Matt Bear and I will
do that right now by phoning apread Matt Bear. Hey,
Bruce Carr, why do you start the song again? If
you would, m m Matt Bear? What is this television
(01:01:24):
theme song?
Speaker 4 (01:01:25):
That's Hannibal toning? Totally sounds like Hannibal.
Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
That is good? That kids, That Kids isn't even yesteryear,
that's the beginning years. That is the theme song to
Patty Duke PATCHA. That's right, Uh, someone asked, who is
Patty Duke? That's that is something else right there. I'm trying.
(01:01:57):
I'm going through her IMDb. Patti Duke played Helen Keller
and the Miracle Worker, age fifteen fifteen. That ain't easy.
(01:02:18):
That is not easy at all. She was Yes, she
was married to John Austin Chatroom. That is absolutely or Aston.
John Aston. John Aston was the oh what you call
(01:02:39):
it was Wednesday, the Adams, the Adams Family. He was Gomez.
So that's John Aston. John Aston is still alive. I'm
sorry that sounded terrible. It sounded like I was upset.
I didn't mean it that way. I apologize. Oh my gosh,
he's ninety five. I did not know that he divorced
(01:03:06):
Patty Duke in nineteen ninety five. He's now married to
a Valerie. Uh send a ball had absolutely no idea.
And his son is Seawn Aston as in Lord of
(01:03:26):
the Rings, sam Uoise Gamgi. Happy to put that all
together for you people, one theme song, a lot of
useless knowledge. That's what we do here at Tony Katz
in the Morning News, useless of knowledge. We also give
people a smile and set the record straight and bring
(01:03:49):
the heat and a lot of sexiness. I ain't gonna lie. Yeah,
I can do it all. I'll catch you guys at noon.
I don't know what just happened there
Ten flight productions. I'd actually love to hear from someone
over at the airport to give us an idea on
how this is going to affect Indianapolis International Airport. Tony Katz,
ninety three WIBC, Good morning. This was Sean Duppy, the
(00:38):
Secretary of Transportation, stating quite clearly we don't have the people.
They have walked off the job because they are not
getting paid in this government shutdown.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
He was.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Very very clear in regard to your traffic control.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
We've had a conversation over the course of the last
month about some of the challenges that we're having in
the airspace. Many of you know that we are two
thousand controllers short, air traffic controller short, and we have
surged our academy to bring more controllers into our system.
We are twenty percent up in controllers through the academy.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Thus far this year.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I've also offered air traffic controllers who are of the
age of retirement a twenty percent upfront cash bonus to
actually stay on. Some of the best controllers we have,
don't retire, keep working for us. All of that has
been reducing the pressure on the staffing side of air
traffic control. It's working but it takes years to bring
(01:42):
more well trained, certified controllers into the airspace.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You don't rush that stuff. It's like Bourbon. It can't
be rushed. It needs the time in order to mature.
Oh sure, you can just have any old whiskey and
I'm not going to tell you no, but you're not
going to have the same smooth landing. My gosh, that's
a very good analysis right there. Bravo to me, well done,
well played. You know what, I've put that in the
(02:08):
Marconi nomination. That's where that's going. You can caring air
traffic controllers to Bourbon and get that on NPR. That's
not happening, but the effect is going to be everywhere.
And if the effect, if the reduction happens in places
like Atlanta or New York, Chicago, these major hubs, of
(02:29):
course you're going to feel the effects if you have
any level of connection. So as you're traveling, as you're flying,
be prepared for the delays. Don't be yelling at the staff,
don't be yelling at other people. Hang loose, bring snacks
all right, and to the airlines provide snacks. Don't tell
(02:52):
these people who did nothing wrong that somehow they have
to spend eleven dollars on whatever airport coffee there is,
and to the airport, no eleven dollars coffee. Please look
at that. I'm just solving all the problems left and right.
My gosh, it's going to be a fantastic morning. Tony Katz,
that's me, by the way, ninety three WIBC, Good morning. Yesterday,
(03:17):
the Trump administration goes in front of the Supreme Court
and says, you know these tariffs, Yeah, yeah, yeah, we
can do this, we can do this. And the Supreme
Court says, not so sure, not so sure, you can
(03:38):
do this, and and and the Trump administration, through the
Solicitor General, is like, oh no, no, no, we can
do this. And the Supreme Court kind of tilted their
head and they were like, well huh. It wasn't a
great day for them yesterday. Be clear, don't know what
(03:58):
the Court's going to do. No one does. But a
first blush. This did not go the way the Trump
administration wanted it to. Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, Good morning,
Good to be with you. This is all about the IEEPA.
So this is about whether or not the president has
(04:19):
the unilateral authority to impose a tariff utilizing these emergency powers.
The solicitor General making the case for the administration for
the country, if you will, is John Sower. His argument
(04:39):
was that the president's power to regulate foreign financial transactions
when he declares an emergency includes the authority to impose taris.
The justices said, you know, taris are taxes, So how
in the world does the president impose a tax on
the American people. That's not how it works. It has
(05:01):
tom and A from Congress. The argument rests on the
idea of how much or how does the president? What
does it read? What is a clear reading of the
(05:22):
statute state this is the International Emergency Economic Powers Act
of nineteen seventy seven. The part of the statement, part
of the writing of the of the legislation, if you will,
(05:47):
discusses whether or not or where the president's power is
in terms of being able to regulate. So part of
the statement reads that the truck that the president can
regulate tariffs, can can regulate through these powers things coming
(06:07):
into the country, which would mean goods and services, and
what the administration says is that includes the ability to
tariff them. The argument is you could state whether something
is allowed to be sold, whether it's allowed entrance into
the nation, But it is a much different thing by
(06:30):
leaps and bounds to make the statement that you can
de facto just offer up some tax to it and
everybody just goes along with it. That's not how any
(06:52):
of this works. Now, this has gotten and taken on
a little bit of a weird life of its own
because some people have started to ask what I consider
to be a truly ridiculous question.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Pointed ones coming from all sides of the court.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
They're very pointed questions.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
But we can just start with Chief Justices Robberts. Why
not use the chief justice? As he mentioned, generally, the
Congress has the power to tax, and that's the power that's.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Reserved only for them.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Trump's lawyers of the administration lawyers are saying that this
isn't a tax. What they're doing is essentially regulating imports.
This is more about foreign policy, and what they're doing
is trying to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States,
So they're regulating import to allow that to happen, and
that any taxes that comes from that is incidental.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
The lawyers on the other side are saying.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
As bs, this is a tax and only.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
The Congress has the right to do that.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Now, it is a note that just as the Leito
did bring up that in emergency situations, the president does
have more power, and we're going to hear this question
answered of Trump has this this notion now that he
can decide when it's an emergency, and he's tried to
use that with immigration, he tried to use that with terrorists.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
I think we're going to get an answer as.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
To whether or not a president can unilaterally decide when
it's an emergency, so he should get more.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Power if it's not the president who decides it's an emergency.
We already know on a military side that if the
country should be invaded, you don't have to wait for
the declaration of war to defend the nation. We already
know this to be true. How is it possible that
(08:35):
anybody other than the chief executive could declare an emergency?
How else could that possibly work? What an odd statement
there from CNN from one of their commentators. And it's
an odd statement because on its face it hits you
as well. If not the president, then who Now you
(08:56):
could argue, well, if not the president, then it's going
to be Congress. You can argue that. You could also
argue that emergency powers may very well have some kind
of wait for it time limit. You could make that
(09:17):
argument that simply it does not go on for forever.
It can't go on for forever. So this this conversation
in front of the Supreme Court yesterday, when I say
it didn't go the way that the President wanted, it's
(09:39):
because the pushback to the Solicitor General sour was, it's
a tax. You know, it's a tax. Tax come from
the House. What do you think you're doing, Meaning that
if there was a pause on allowing the import that
would be allowed. If you are utilizing the emergency to
(10:04):
make dollars gain revenue, that isn't its purpose as a
matter of just the law itself, the Emergency Powers Act itself.
That was the initial read on it, and it's we
won't see a decision for a couple of months, but
that was the first take. Oh, I don't like the
(10:27):
fact that this is the way it went down. I'm
just sharing with you how it's going down. But this
idea that the president can't declare the emergency is such
a radical idea. You can't hate Trump so much oh wait,
of course they can. But you can't hate Trump so
(10:48):
much that you want to take away from the president
the ability to denote or to proclaim the emergency and
then take action. If the president can't declare an emergency
regard guarding adversaries nations that he believes are treating us wrong,
can you declare an emergency on a storm? And you
(11:10):
say to me what the legislation says this? The legislation
says that now you want carve outs. We vote for
somebody to make these choices. You might not like the choices.
To say no to this, It's going to be harder
and harder to be able to respond to things quickly
when it's necessary. Right now, first blush, I think the
(11:37):
Trump administration is going to lose this argument. The follow
up is, this is only utilizing tariffs to the I
E E p A. I E E p A doesn't
mean that there aren't other tactics, so get ready for that.
I'm not gonna lie. I have so many options for
(11:58):
the music moment today at eight thirty five, presented by
killadent Removal dot Com. I I do not know which
one I'm gonna do. There are too many good choices
so good you'll have to tune in. And that's at
(12:19):
eight thirty five the TK Thursday Music Moment presented by
kill a Dent Removal Tony Katz. That is me, by
the way, ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Good to be
with you. What is this that we're holding back thousands
of students? Right? Is that? That was the story that
(12:41):
in the state of Indiana, we are now saying, hey,
we have certain demands here and if you're not meeting
the standard, no, no, just social promotion. We've got the
story at WIBC dot com via the Indiana Capitol Chronicle.
Three thousand students are repeating the third grade this school
(13:02):
year for not meeting state reading proficiency standards. Three point
six percent of the eighty four thousand children who took
the I Read were retained in third grade under the
first enforcement of a requirement approved by the legislature in
twenty twenty four. Now the question before us is is
(13:25):
this a good plan? The numbers dictate that two years
ago we held back four hundred and twelve children. Now
it's three thousand and forty children. The question, I think
should be asked as do we have a standard or not,
(13:46):
and it is painful to see a kid be left back.
It's painful for the parent, might be painful for the kid.
The kid gets over it like real quick. The important
thing here is that there's a way we look at
education as a whole. We have a standard and we're
(14:09):
going to adhere to it, and that standard is going
to mean that everybody does better. There can be exceptions.
If your kid's dyslexic, saying that there's a specific greeting proficiency,
that's a real problem. I don't say no to that,
and I think that should be worked into everything. That's
what IEPs are for individualized education plans and things like that.
(14:33):
But if you say that in the main you should
never leave a child back, that argument is the argument
for Oh, and while we're here, let's end the public schools,
let's break the teachers' unions in two and let's go
back to local municipalities handling everything, and let us decide
in our local communities how it works, which I favor. Regardless,
(14:55):
you either if you don't adhere to a standard, if
you don't believe in a standard, what do you believe in?
It's a question for those people who may have issue
with this concept. I think this concept is actually impressive
and it shows a seriousness about what it is we're
trying to get done here. And it shows parents that
(15:20):
to the extent that you're able to and you maybe
have to sacrifice a little. You got to read to
your kids, you gotta do homework with your kids. It's
it's not all screen time all the time, or whatever
else is getting in the way in the main. Tony Katz,
ninety three WIBC, Good Morning. It is possibly the quickest
(15:47):
election post mortem I've ever seen where Republicans are like, Okay,
we lost these races, all right, we have identified part
of the problem. Okay, we can fix this. Huh, what
do you know about that? Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC,
(16:09):
Good morning. Good to be with you. Affordability, Are you
actually telling me that Zaron, Mom Donnie hit on something
when it was a conversation about housing is unaffordable and
prices are too high, and that moved levels of the electorate.
(16:41):
Maybe it was this from President Trump speaking to Brett
Baer on Fox News.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Two dollars, I guess or later did that that brings
everything else down. A grocer is your way down. Other
than beef. Now, beef is going to come down. You know,
we have to do that. You remember when I started,
eggs were up by four times what they were previous.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
You know, it was in two days in the office,
and they.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Tell me about eggs.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
I solve that because the fact is we have prices
way down. We have prices down.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Are country is doing well.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
The stock markets hitting record highs like forty eight times
during my nine months, and just a couple of days
ago it hit another record high, like really record high.
It's it's great, and that equates it's not just rich people.
That's four o one case. I mean that equates to everybody.
And the country is doing very well. But as Republicans,
you have to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Now. I just want to ask for the record, what
is the show that has been discussing since the beginning.
If you want to add tariffs, you got to explain why.
If you're gonna go out there and say the prices
are lower, you got to go tell your story. Can
I get to show a hands? You gotta tell the story.
(17:55):
You got to explain your position because if you don't,
the other guy will explain your position for you. So
now I've got the president after mont Donnie gets elected, stating, yes,
beef prices are too high. No kidding. We have talked
about this a million times. If you listen to eat, drink, smoke,
(18:18):
we talk about it constantly. The supermarket beef prices are
through the roof. All of a sudden, I'm getting stories
left and right. Gotta focus on this idea of affordability.
(18:46):
It's the quickest post mortem I have ever seen from
the Republican It is this all right, all right, we
see that. Okay, we can fix this. Okay, let's go
to work. This is what I want. Now. There are,
(19:07):
of course, ridiculous headlines. What's really concerning Republicans after Tuesday's
romp romp off your election in states where it was
believed that the Republican would lose. You mean, things kind
of went as expected. Romp okay, dosha burns whatever, whatever
(19:29):
you want to put in there. I have people on
social media so desperate for attention. See, the problem is
you were yelling about the text messages of Republicans who
said some off color things. You weren't focused on the election.
Now you see you were talking too much about Tucker Carlson. No, no, no,
(19:51):
you're talking too much about this. Guys. People want to
know whether or not they're spending too much money. In
what you're doing to keep them from spa ending too
much money. We haven't learned anything from Bill Clinton. First,
what happens in the Oval office doesn't necessarily stay in
the Oval office. Second, it's the economy, stupid. We haven't
(20:16):
learned this lesson. You keep talking about Obamacare, for example,
what's your replacement plan? Uh still which, by the way,
the answer is, Oh, the market's fine, the market will
do the job. How about we allow that selling across
(20:36):
state lines for example. I was having this conversation with
someone last night. What happened to that idea? Why aren't
we doing things like that? These free market solutions that
could create more opportunity, allow for different pools of people,
therefore lowering costs. Why all of a sudden, the market
doesn't work. Nonsense. The people who don't believe the market
doesn't work are people desperate to control what happens in
(20:59):
your market. But this is quick to it. I've got
Trump saying it, I've got Politico with the story that
I have national review. Affordability will be everything in twenty
twenty six. You see, you can claim that somebody is
(21:21):
too woke from now to the end of time. But
the thing that moves Americans most is am I paying
less for gas? Am I paying less for beef? Can
I afford a house? And that can all be part
of a conversation that we win interesting interesting, interesting stuff.
The speed is the story here. So we're going to
(22:04):
start building drones in Indiana. We're gonna start investing in
drones in Indiana. Drone Creation. Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC,
Good morning. What is going down? An executive order signed
by Governor Mike Brawn establishing the Indiana Initiative for Drone
(22:25):
Dominance Task Force the IDDTF, Now that's what I called it.
An Indiana Initiative for Drone Dominance task Force asked to
develop a strategic plan leveraging the state's advanced manufacturing industry,
(22:45):
expertise for the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division, and
restricted airspace over assets including Camp Batterbury. I don't think
it's a bad idea. Drones are national security, drones have
economic impact, very very interesting that what we're seeing here. First,
(23:07):
you know, there was the conversation about nuclear in Indiana
and nuclear power. First, American Nuclear is going to establish
an energy park and manufacturing facilities in the state. According
to the governor, of five thousand jobs will be coming
high paying. I don't know what is necessarily meant by
(23:29):
high paying. So we're moving on nuclear and we're moving
on drone. These are the first moves that I have
seen that talk about any level of smart growth, because
what has happened via the IEDC has been an outrageous
hot mess, and the governor should be made aware of that.
(23:52):
The removal of the former members, the addition of these members.
I don't think any of them are bad people. I
am saying out loud that none of them are in
the industries that Braun is now going after. So you've
created this IEDC not to help you go out there
and get the business. The whole thing is peculiar. But
(24:16):
I like both of these moves. Someone in the chat
room says, a lot of work for the electrical grid
if we are putting nuclear online. Nope, And this is
really a conversation with the SMRs, the small modular reactors,
which at first and second look, I fully favor, certainly
more research to do, but it's a movement in a
(24:39):
direction that I think is valuable, but it doesn't answer
the question of why the change of the IEDC, and
what's the purpose of the IDC. What's the purpose? Because
right now I don't see them going after anything. I
see no growth. What I see us is Indiana losing
and losing quite a bit. That's a problem. Keeping an
(25:06):
eye on this. Tony Katz in ninety three WIBC. Good morning,

Speaker 5 (26:36):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
What we changed the opening? It is a better day here,
Tony Kats in the Morning News. Someone gave Carl control
and he has lost his dang mind. Just telling you
what happened. If if you're upset with the new opening
(27:01):
to the Popcorn Moment, send your hate mail to Casey
Daniels at yahoo dot com. Carl will be sure to
get it. You will be sure to get it. A
host of things that I could have shared with you
regarding the Popcorn Moment, some things to get into about
(27:24):
this election that took place on Tuesday and the Mamdani
conversation the Mayor elect of New York. First there was
this from the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
I left in twenty twenty build the Blasio chase me out.
I couldn't take it anymore. And yeah, I want to
congratulate the people who voted for Mondanmi and you welcome
to Caracas on the Hudson. Welcome to Caracas on the Hudson.
I don't know who's going to be more responsible for
(28:01):
the bump in Miami real estate, Maduro or Mondami.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
And you know, I know you've hedged.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
You've got an apartment in New York and a house
in Connecticut. I'm told that Connecticut realtors are already very busy.
And you know, look, I had thirty thirty five great
years in New York. I wish New York the best,
but I think that they've chosen the worst. And people
have to learn from experience.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
That they do that they do. The people of New
York made a decision and they have to live with
that decision. I have seen center Jim Banks, the Attorney
General Todd Roke to say, hey, bring your business to Indiana.
I want you to know I absolutely favor this, and
I was serious, and I know that the governor's team listens.
(28:54):
I absolutely will lead that charge because I know how
to speak New York. So let me handle this. I
could speak both languages. Now, after eleven and a half years,
I can do this. No, no, no, you don't get to
bring your politics with you. No no, no, no, no, no,
no no no. See, nobody I think could do a
(29:17):
better job than me in explaining why they should bring
their business to Indiana. And the last thing in the
world you need is to stay in New York. Oh,
I think I could explain it pretty good to people.
You bring me good stuff, you leave the bad stuff.
We don't want to hear about the bad stuff. No, no, no.
(29:39):
You think you have an idea, You ain't got no ideas.
You never heard of an idea. You don't know nothing
about an idea. You never saw an idea before. Maybe
you weren't there, maybe you were in the bathroom. You
don't know. What you do know is you got a
nice business, and we think it would be nice if
nothing happened to it, but you were actually able to
grow it. You should come to Indiana. We got a
lot of lovely spots, believe it or not, some very
good piece so too. No, no, no, trust me on this.
(30:01):
Don't don't insult me. Try the pizza, then you decide.
But those politics, No, no, you can't bring that with you.
No no, we ain't got no room for that. No no, no,
you ain't gonna be able to bring that. You try
and bring that, We're gonna bring you to Illinois. So
don't you even try. Don't you even try that. I
get Sylvia over here, take care of everything. Good talk,
good talk, pleas your hut. I can do this. I
(30:24):
am the guy to do this. I was built for
a purpose, and this is it. Cam. I cannot believe
Governor Brown has not called yet. What are you doing
all day? Oh? Keeping an eye on the scandals of
your lieutenant governor? All right? Maybe maybe no too soon? No, yes, ruling.
(30:47):
I think I'm fine. We'll get into Michael Beckworth coming
up in a little bit, in a little bit, but
there there's much more about the the UH race that
I want to get to, about what took place in
New York, and I really want to break down something
some numbers that are very important because I think a
(31:08):
lot of people are overreacting. But Bonnie on the live stream,
you know, we live stream over at YouTube YouTube dot
com slash wibc. Why do we need to crowd Indiana? Okay,
we are getting into it, and I think that this
is going to be you know, I've been talking about
doing more events and I am planning nine in in
(31:32):
twenty twenty six, large scale and small scale like some
salon type events. And so I've had some farmers reach out.
I will get back to you, guys. I want to
do an event with you again, but I want to
do it in a public setting. I think in this roundtable,
small group, this question is a big one. Why do
we need to crowd Indiana? It is obvious that we
(31:57):
have a split in Indiana regarding how we grow, and
that there is a real desire in certain pockets of
the state not to grow. They don't want it. They
want to stay allegedly wholesome. They want to stay a
(32:21):
more simple is the wrong word. I don't mean that
in a disparaging way. They don't want the things that
come with growth, let's call it traffic now, they'll lose
out on the things that come with growth, like dollars.
I don't want to force some town somewhere in our
(32:44):
great state to take any business, but as a matter
of just existing, it is a radical idea to not
want to grow. And a state that were to state
we are not interested in growth is a state that
will be believed and it will be over. Part of
(33:07):
my issues is I brought up the IEDC earlier. You
make these moves to make Indiana a place that's attractive,
and you work on this, and you work on this,
and you work on this, and you're starting to see
results and interest and activity, and then pull the plug
as we have. It's very obvious that we have. I
(33:31):
think it's a huge mistake. And this desire of well,
we don't need the IEDC, We should want groups within
the states to go out there and attract business. That's
different than whether or not we should be spending money
to get these businesses, whether or not we should have
these investment groups to invest in these businesses. That's a
(33:51):
different argument. But on the very basis, shouldn't we be
doing outreach, we shouldn't be. We shouldn't be selling our story.
I'm sorry. That is backwards, That is backwards thinking, and
that should be fought. We should be forward thinking. We
should say this is the place to be. We should
(34:14):
be the capital of the Midwest. We should plant our
flag and declare it so so. No, it's not crowding Indiana.
And look around, we've got room. I don't want to
get rid of farms. I'm saying we've got room. We
should be smart about our growth. We should be deliberate
(34:36):
about our growth. But we should grow. And I believe
that the people who think otherwise are wrong and the
long term detrimental that they would provide man that is
not better for your life, my life, for the life
of our kids. Today on the marketplace, I assume if
(34:57):
you wear this to a cults game, you will get arrested.

Speaking of moons, Matt Bearr Is on the live stream
Hello along with producer Carl And. Now, I believe Matt
(36:06):
bear that you are a fan of the Indianapolis football cults.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
I love the cult so much.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
So much, not just a little bit so much.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
I watch every game.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
You watch all the games from the comfort of your
thirteen inch black and white TV.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
Yeah, it's it's it's poor, it's poor TV.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
And and I believe that you are also a fan
of Deadpool the movie.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Yeah, oh it's funny.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Very and the and the comic strip.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Very adult adult movie.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Right, the very adult. And I heard that often when
you're at home watching the game, you are wearing your
Deadpool mask I do, and I.
Speaker 8 (36:46):
Do superhero like things, you know, I fly off the
balcon and go whoosh right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Right, and you go whooshush. This right here is an
Indianapolis cult Deadpool mask. Okay, cool, it's it's a mask
that you wear over your head. And instead of being
the red and black Deadpool, it's in like a like
a light gray and blue. And it's got the Colts
(37:11):
logos on the side. Okay, and it's got a cold
slogo in the back the back of the head right there.
So I assume that if you wear this to a
Colts game, you will immediately be tackled by IMPD and arrested.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
I hope not.
Speaker 8 (37:25):
This is that Tony Kaz I go to Facebook marketplace
and oh, this is a GIF mask.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
Okay, wow, well it does look like a GIF mask.
You know, it's got a little mask into it. Yeah,
it's something you would wear.
Speaker 8 (37:38):
And you know it looks very uh, very body armori ish.
And there are no air holes in the nose or
mouth that that kind of concerns made.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
It might be breathable. It might just be a breathable Yeah,
I just be wicking.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
There are things here. I mean you might. It's just
it looks uncomfortable to put on your.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Head hold on Matt before anything. I just want I
need to say, hey, kids, be sure to ask your
parents what a gimp mask is.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
It's good to know from them. They'll give you an
appropriate answer.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
And I think it's important. I think it's important that
not only that you ask your parents, but when you
when you ask them, you you you videotape the answer
so we can have.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
It here for your first TikTok.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Ever. Just everyone's going to learn. Everyone's going to learn,
Matt Bear. This mask is one hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Why why why that expensive? I mean, is it? Is
it shipping free at least?
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (38:42):
No, one hundred twenty dollars of shipped one hundred and
twenty dollars of shipped one hundred dollars have picked up
in Peoria, Illinois.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Right, one hundred twenty dollars if shipped one hundred dollars
have picked up locally in Peoria. Guy lives in Peoria.
But he's a big Colts fan.
Speaker 8 (38:55):
Yeah no, no, God bless him, thank you, thank you
for our citty.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
No, I'm not in for this.
Speaker 8 (39:02):
I don't want to drive to Peoria, and I don't
want to suffocate and I don't want to be a gamp.
So I have three reasons, three very good reasons not
to buy this mask.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Okay, I want to just say for the record that
Tony Kats today my midday show is on the air
in Peoria, Illinois. It's a fantastic city. It's with amazing people,
and I for one love them and I would drive
out there anytime they have.
Speaker 8 (39:22):
Seventy four is a great interstate and that's because of Peoria.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
But if you wear this mask to a cults game,
you are going to get tackled by police. It's going
to happen.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
You're gonna get tackled by somebody.
Speaker 8 (39:32):
Let's say that somebody's going to tackle you know, but
a dungeon, maybe somebody's basement.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Oh wow, you took it to a place. Back to
the game. Listen.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
I know what happens when you wear a mask like this.
Speaker 8 (39:44):
I mean from people to tell, from people that tell me,
And I just I'm trying to.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
Advise people that you know, it's it's a dangerous life.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
You know what happens when you wear a mask like this.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
It's not it's like it's like I have a friend
of a friend who wore a mask like.
Speaker 8 (40:00):
This one time, and I haven't seen him in about
two years, so that's almost.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
There's a lot to learn about Matt Bear everybody. The
poll listing is over there at the Facebook marketplace of
the faithbook marketplace is over there at WIBC dot com.
Be sure to check it out for yourself. Tony Katz,
ninety three, WIBC, Good morning. I have stated before very
clearly that Micah Beckwith's political career is over. Of course,
(40:33):
the people of Indiana could somehow decide that he should
be Lieutenant governor again or something else, and I will
sit there be fuddled and baffled and confused. The lack
of anything that I would argue that presents him as
someone with a message that grows this state completely missing
(41:00):
from him, a total level of disconnect with Hoosiers as
a whole. But rather it's about, hey, how can I
be seen in this photo, in this image, in this
thing next. There's so much of Lieutenant Governor Beckworth that
I think is stagecraft as opposed to theory and philosophy.
(41:26):
Tony Katz, ninety three, WIBC, good morning, Good to be
with you. He cannot like me. He doesn't like me. Fine,
you got it. But I think you're bad at your job.
And I think that you have embarrassed yourself. I think
that you are starting with the idea of ninety thousand
dollars trucks. We have the right to say that's not
(41:49):
what we want. I think the idea that you are
some kind of check or balance to Governor Brawn or
to the General Assembly. You've proven that's not the case.
People voted for you in this big push to get
a different way of bringing in the lieutenant governor and
utilizing the system. And I don't know what they got.
(42:13):
I don't know what they got except for somebody who
takes a lot of photos and skinny jeans. Hey, man,
if you like them, you wear them. Who am I
to say? Right? You know, I can't get away with
skinny jeans, but you know, hey, if it works for you.
But I came across this story that you've seen people
talk about that. Uh. Lieutenant Governor beck With received a
(42:37):
written reprimand from Roderick Bray, the Senate President pro Tem,
this back in February regarding posts and uncommon behavior presiding
over the Senate the story here as I read it
(42:59):
comes from a statement from a former advisor of his,
Aaron Sheridan. Aaron Sheridan is the one who makes the
claim that she saw the AI video. Remember this claim
of an AI video that Tom Lobianco wrote about that
there's this video that was in Beckworth's office of a
(43:20):
state senator's wife topless right and oh my gosh. And
Aaron Sheridan said she saw it, and she came on
to this station to make that claim. There comes a
moment where I have to ask, all of these stories
come from one person. It sounds like retribution. I believe
(43:48):
that there's an argument to be made against Michael Beckwith
being the lieutenant governor and exposing his failure based on him.
But I've been told now about this video, this AI
video from and there is no proof of it. Well, Tony,
you're never going to see proof of it, then, all
due respect, I have no way of proving it actually happened.
(44:08):
And I can discuss actual things that Michael Beckwith is doing,
then I think are disqualifying. I do not have to
make them up or go about chasing down what is
clearly a ghost unless it's not show me the video,
show somebody the video. Now Aaron Sheridan going to local
(44:29):
outlets to say, oh this, oh that, I wouldn't doubt
that there was a written reprimand now I think the question,
of course, is for the Senate ProTem to produce the
reprimand if it came from the Senate ProTem, it should
be public. Well, now I want to see it because
(44:53):
what I would like is the proof that it actually happened.
Sheridan says that Becklett dismissed it and said, well, actually
the quote is the Lieutenant Governor basically said too bad.
So sad, I'm going to continue behaving that way, get
used to it, and I just about died. I'm sorry,
(45:15):
I'm gonna put a stop to this. This isn't news.
There's plenty to discuss regarding the Lieutenant governor. There's plenty
to discuss regarding the Secretary of State to which the
Republican Party is backing Diego Morales. I do not know
what is wrong with you, but you are wrong Republican
Party wrong. Time to be better at what you do
(45:41):
and I do, as a matter of course, have serious
issue that Aaron Sheridan has been hired by Abdullah, Quim
Schabaz and Indie politics. Does this make her now off limits?
I question the maneuver people can have jobs. I question
here she is telling us that gets repeated by this group,
(46:02):
and now she gets hired by someone within that group.
I don't know what to do with that information. And
I don't know why in the world I would stay
silent about seeing something that in any other parlance I
would say, or any other situation I would say that's peculiar.
I have no reason to call Aaron Sheridan a liar,
and I am not. She says she saw the video.
(46:22):
I just want to see the video. She says, this
thing happened. I want proof of the things. Because we
have so many provable things, I don't need to add
to it with things that are now questioned. So, as
(46:55):
you heard Ryan Hendrick discussed on the top of the
Hour News, we have not benefit being delayed Food Nutrition
Service updating directions for determining the maximum amount of benefits
each household will receive because the allotment was reduced by
fifty percent. This was the argument. Some judge says, hey,
(47:17):
you have to fund the snap benefits, and the White
House says we don't have the money in the fund
to fund fully fund them, so therefore we can't fund it.
And the judge said you have to fund it, and
they were like, okay, but we don't have all the money.
So you figured it out, States, or you figured out everybody.
So now Indiana Family and Social Services announcing that November
(47:41):
snap benefits will be delayed because of this revised formula
for calculation. Anything you think about the shutdown is not
the story just at this moment. The story, just at
this moment is making sure your neighbor can feed themselves
and feed their kids. There's a food pantry near you.
(48:02):
Go to it, go get it done, drop off the
food if you can, not telling you that you have to.
If you can't, there's no There are plenty ways to
be helpful, and it doesn't have to be this way.
We have too many people on these benefits. We have
(48:23):
too many people who shouldn't be on these benefits on
these benefits. That is all true. That has to be
dealt with. And the people who scream and yell about
removals from these benefits I have very little time for
because what they favor is dependency, and what they favor
is you paying more. They're hateful people. Nope, not putting
(48:45):
up with them. But we have neighbors who are going
to be in need and we have to deal with
that reality because of this shutdown. So food pantries. Get
it done. By the way, Matt Bear, the donation to
the Harbor Light Center there was Salvation Army was made
this week.
Speaker 4 (49:06):
Thank you well in your name.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
There should be. You should have gotten an email. We
had done the coffee, the Morning Blend coffee that we
do with Matt Bear's name, the joy ride and the
road rage and made that donation to the Harbor Light Center,
which helps people in recovery. That's where Matt wanted it
to go. Regardless of my issues with the Salvation Army,
that's what Matt wanted. That's what Matt got. So that
(49:29):
donation was indeed a maid. I still have some coffee.
I'll get that out to people. Can't do everything I
do as much as I can. That's all there is.
Being supportive of your neighbor is something you can do.
My advice is get it done because every political conversation
(49:50):
about the shutdown doesn't change the fact that your neighbor
might need help. Give him the help. I don't actually
think there's any other way to view it. Tony Katz,
that's me by the way, ninety three WIBC, Good morning.
I don't know if you've seen this video of these
(50:15):
two Jets fans, these kids, and the dad is recording them.
He's a Jets season tickets holder and he's recording his
kids after they learned that Sauce Gardner was traded from
the Jets to the Colts. Tony Kats ninety three WIBC,
(50:35):
good morning. I don't think there's any cursing in this, producer, Carl,
but finger on the dumb button just in case. And
the dad's recording the kids, and the kids like one
kid's asking question, the other kids is just he's just
crying his eyes out at this stage, and.
Speaker 9 (50:52):
It's okay, okay, the Jets treaded Sauce today. No, it's okay.
I'll get you a different one. He went to Indianapolis
and they also treated They also traded Quinn Williams.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
He did, but sort of Sauce Jets. No Jets fan
likes the Jets. They're the Jets. That's all there is.
So the video keeps going and the kid is like
I'm a Colts fan. Now, this video makes its way
(51:36):
because it went pretty viral, makes its way to Sauce Gardner,
who is clearly in Indianapolis wearing a Colts jersey and
does this thoughts went to the Colts. It's okay, that's
going on, right, Trey.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
I just want to say, I appreciate you all for
the support that being said, I'm gonna give you a
two of my first Coast jerseys.
Speaker 1 (51:59):
And signed the jerseys and sent them to these kids.
Sometimes you got to wonder whether these things are all
just made for TV moments. Right, it worked out too perfectly, right,
move right, play. You are going to see that kid,
probably not in Berlin where the Colts play this weekend
(52:20):
and then it's bye week, but you will see that
kid and and his dad at a at a Colts game.
They will be there at Lucas well. That's going to come.
It's going to happen, nicely played by the Colts and
by Sauce Gardner. Nice to see that some other people
(52:42):
are picking up that the Wall Street Journal was very
very wrong in their conversation. A little over a week
ago regarding self defense. The Wall Street Journal had put
out a story six words every killer should know I
heard from my life officer, and there was this documentary
(53:04):
on Netflix. I think it was Netflix that was an
issue in and of itself. But you know what happens
when you've got weird neighbors, and neighbors won't leave neighbors alone.
And this woman shot through the door and killed her neighbor,
and she went to jail for it, and rightfully so
in my view. But still there's a story there about
however wood treats everyone. But the idea that you shouldn't
(53:26):
be able to protect and defend yourself. They're making the
argument that somehow you could just make it up. You can't.
This woman said she feared for her life, but she
still went to jail, and I'm happy to see shooting.
News Weekly had the story that this is a really
ugly take regarding stand your ground laws, castle doctrine, a
(53:48):
whole host of things. We should be encouraging people in
the United States to protect and defend themselves. Absolutely, we
should be encouraging people to buy guns, buy get trained.
It is not the other way around. The other way
around is sad and dangerous and destructive. This way allows
(54:09):
people positivity and opportunity and the conversation of the arms
society is the polite society. Well, I believe that to
be true, and maybe you don't even have to engage
it that way. If you choose not to to be
unable to defend your family does not make you somebody
(54:30):
responsible for your family. That's my argument, and my argument
can be made even far more personal than that. I'm
just not going to engage it today. Then there is
the Mom Donnie election and I saw a post about
(54:53):
the victory Jacob Stewart, who does opinion over at the
Indie Star. Are I think worthy, Some I think are mistaken,
but it's opinions right thinking about anybody. The main electoral
problem faced by capitalism is there aren't enough capitalists. I
think that's my biggest takeaway from the New York City
mayoral race, and he shared, you know, the screenshot of
(55:18):
Mamdani winning. I would agree that we need more capitalists.
And in order to get more capitalists, one has to
stop sending their kids to universities where they are clearly
in every single way indoctrinated into some very very radical hate.
(55:41):
If you take a look at the data, if there
was no high school degree a high school graduate, some
college or an associate's degree. They all voted for for
Cuomo or for Sliwa. Only those with bachelor's degrees and
advanced degrees went for Mamdani. And you can say to me, well,
that means the educated people know how to properly vote. No,
(56:01):
it doesn't. The idea that someone would call them educated
is if the other people are uneducated because they don't
have what these elitists have decided was the proper sheepskin
hanging on their wall. That is the fundamental problem. That
is a proof of concept of what I'm saying regarding
what universities are actually doing. And if you send your
(56:24):
kid to those universities, with all due respect, you're failing
your child. Stop it. Oh but their friends go there.
Oh but as this good program. None of that actually
matters for the record, But there's a story here. Data
tells stories, and if you take a look at the data,
(56:48):
you see something else. You take a look at the numbers,
the same numbers that Jacob posted on Twitter, actually can
see it. I actually have the same exact graphic from
NBC News. Two million, fifty five thousand total votes, two million,
(57:15):
fifty five thousand that's that's weird how many people live
in New York City because we're talking about the takeaway.
The takeaway here isn't that there aren't enough capitalists. There
should just be more capitalists. Eight point four million people
(57:36):
live in New York. Eight point four million people live
in New York. Let's go back to the number two
million people voted in the election. You mean less than
twenty five percent of the people voted in the election.
And in the election, Zoron Mamdani got one million, thirty
(57:59):
six thousand es. So half you're telling me, in a
city with eight point four million people, Zoron Mamdani got
twelve and a half percent of the vote. And it's
proof that everybody's a communist. Now, I think everybody needs
(58:21):
to start, you know, taking a deep, deep, deep breath.
Is Mamdani bad for New York? Absolutely? Are his policies
guaranteed failures. Absolutely. If people tell me that you can't
keep talking about liberal white women and think they're going
to come to your side, I don't think they're going
to come to my side. I'm making a different argument.
(58:43):
Why is it that we continue to send kids to
universities that then become these liberal students. Well, Tony, you
brought up liberal white women, because there is absolutely that
you don't have this victory from Mandani. If women don't
vote for him, why are women voting the way that
they do. It's an interesting question. Is a specific to
women in general? No, because they're playing conservative women who
(59:03):
would not dare vote for someone like him. But if
we want the real takeaway, and there is something to
be said about how women and men vote, there is.
It's a worthy conversation, one that can be done with decency. Yes,
I make fun of the women of Westbrook Clay. They
deserve it. The takeaway from the Mamdani election is not
(59:28):
that there aren't enough capitalists, although there should be. It's
not that we're all going to everybody's a communist. Now,
that's not it either. Two and a half million, two
million votes, two million, fifty five thousand, and he got
fifty point four percent of the vote out of eight
(59:53):
point four million people. Less than twelve and a half
percent of New Yorkers voted for the guy. The story
here is about voter turnout. The story here is absolutely not,
absolutely not about well, there's a mandate for this Marxism,
communism horse crap. This stuff is very defeatable, but one
(01:00:19):
has to be able to turn people out to vote
in order to do it. The numbers tell a story.
I'm sorry. All theme songs should be like this, all
of them. It's time to play America's favorite game. What
the heck is this a television theme song? Here's how
(01:00:40):
we play our game. Pretty sure Carl has picked a
television theme song from yesteryear. I have to guess what
it is. I love you, chat room, but I was
already there for you. But as usual, right I can
check with the chatroom on the livestream YouTube dot com,
slash WIBC. You get in there, you get to be
a part of it, and and I can check with them,
(01:01:02):
or I can check with Matt Bear and I will
do that right now by phoning apread Matt Bear. Hey,
Bruce Carr, why do you start the song again? If
you would, m m Matt Bear? What is this television
(01:01:24):
theme song?
Speaker 4 (01:01:25):
That's Hannibal toning? Totally sounds like Hannibal.
Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
That is good? That kids, That Kids isn't even yesteryear,
that's the beginning years. That is the theme song to
Patty Duke PATCHA. That's right, Uh, someone asked, who is
Patty Duke? That's that is something else right there. I'm trying.
(01:01:57):
I'm going through her IMDb. Patti Duke played Helen Keller
and the Miracle Worker, age fifteen fifteen. That ain't easy.
(01:02:18):
That is not easy at all. She was Yes, she
was married to John Austin Chatroom. That is absolutely or Aston.
John Aston. John Aston was the oh what you call
(01:02:39):
it was Wednesday, the Adams, the Adams Family. He was Gomez.
So that's John Aston. John Aston is still alive. I'm
sorry that sounded terrible. It sounded like I was upset.
I didn't mean it that way. I apologize. Oh my gosh,
he's ninety five. I did not know that he divorced
(01:03:06):
Patty Duke in nineteen ninety five. He's now married to
a Valerie. Uh send a ball had absolutely no idea.
And his son is Seawn Aston as in Lord of
(01:03:26):
the Rings, sam Uoise Gamgi. Happy to put that all
together for you people, one theme song, a lot of
useless knowledge. That's what we do here at Tony Katz
in the Morning News, useless of knowledge. We also give
people a smile and set the record straight and bring
(01:03:49):
the heat and a lot of sexiness. I ain't gonna lie. Yeah,
I can do it all. I'll catch you guys at noon.
I don't know what just happened there
