Speaker 1 (00:15):
Philip Rivers.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
They're bringing him back for a workout, and I know
what you're saying to me. I'm sorry, Tony, we must
have miss hurd faulty connection. Did you say Philip Rivers, Rivers,
Philip not Philip Rivers, Philip Rivers, Yes.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
I did.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning. The former Indianapolis
Colts quarterback, the former San Diego Chargers before they fled
to Los Angeles. In the wimpiest move ever, They've brought
him back. They're gonna see if he can go under center.
What happened to Riley Leonard? I don't know, something with

(00:57):
his knee, having a Daniel Jones. Well, I say it
this way very clearly. The Indianapolis Colts knew the leg
injury was worse than they were telling us, and told
them to go out there anyway, not looking out for
his best interest, not looking out for long term team
best interest, not bringing anybody else to be able to

(01:20):
cover if you didn't think that your backups were of
caliber to be able to do the job. And they
set an entire season on fire for it. Oh, this
is to me, Chris Ballard one oh one, not explaining
what's happening.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Not sharing with the Colts faithful.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
That's what this team does under Chris Ballard again and
again and again. That's just my take. Someone else could
have a different take, have more data, I could change
my mind.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
But faith in Chris Ballard.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
No, no, no, no. They really did put Daniel Jones
out there to have a heck of a lot of
potential problems, and now they have with the achilles which
he had the surgery on to repair.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
The season is done.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
So for those of you are paying attention to leg injuries,
that's Caitlin Clark, Tyrus Haliburton, Daniel Jones, possible mee.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
With Riley Leonard.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
I do not know what the curse is, but it
is clearly Joe hogg Set's fault. Honestly, I might not
be wrong about that. So they're bringing Philip Rivers that
is just nutty. By the way, if he plays, I'm

(02:39):
gonna watch absolutely, I'm gonna wish him well.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
And if you saved me, where is Anthony Richardson.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
He still has the orbital fracture from an exercise band,
so he's not coming back. And we do have Brett
Rippon on the squad. He's on the practice squad. So
there doesn't seem to be much faith in his ability,

(03:06):
but there he is. We will watch to see what
happens as for redistricting, passes the Senate committee six to three,
and we'll get to the full floor for a vote from.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
The Indiana Senate.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
I am fifty to fifty on where this goes. You
need twenty six votes. It shouldn't be that hard to obtain.
That doesn't mean that it's going to happen. And for
all the outside groups, you can discuss why, hey, this
is why you should do this, Why do that?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
America is counting on You can do all those things.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
If you get into the threats and on the primary threats,
you understand that this General Assembly doesn't give a damn
at all. You look and sounds ridiculous. You sounds ridiculou.
You're not tough.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
No one is scared of you.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Here, make the argument like I have about redistricting, and
then let's get it over the finish line.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
That's it. That's how it works.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
You're gonna scream and yell about primary challenges and you're
gonna call people names. Honestly, all you're doing is turning
people off. And giving more ammunition for saying forget you
and forget Trump, and forget the rest.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
And if you're making this about Trump, you're also doing
it wrong. But if any of you had just.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Bothered to check an ego at the door, be rational
people and give a phone call to a lot of
different people across the state, not just myself, could have
saved yourself a lot of heartache and embarrassment.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
But you didn't.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
So I'm trying to help you out with these last
couple of days. I don't know if you'll take the advice,
but you should because you're not as smart as you
think you are, and you've come off looking very silly
and that's not help.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Tony kats ninety three WIBC, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Twelve billion dollars is a lot of loot, a lot
of loot, and that's what farmers are getting, according to
President Trump. Tony Kattz ninety three WIBC. Good morning, Good
to be here, Good.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
To be with you. Twelve billion dollars. That's the question,
is why.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Delighted to announce this afternoon that the United States will
be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions
of dollars we receive in tariffs. We are making a
lot of money from countries that took advantage of us
for years. They took advantage of us like nobody's ever seen.
Our deficits are way down because of tariffs. I guess

(05:51):
because of the election, because without the election, you wouldn't
have tariffs. Should be sitting here losing your shirt. But
we're taking in billions. We're really taking in trillions of
dollars if you think about it, Scott, because there real numbers,
you know, when you think of all the money being
poured into the country for new order plants and all
of the other things.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
AI.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
So what we're doing is we're taking a relatively small
portion of that and we're going to be giving and
providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. And we
love our farmers, and as you know, the farmers.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Like me because that's great. But I didn't pay tariffs
for the farmers. I'm not angry with the farmers at all.
But the tariffs are attacks. And now you're telling us
instead of paying down the debt, which was the plan,
I think it was a great plan, but all right,
I'll take debt being paid down. We're now deciding specific

(06:50):
projects based.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
On your discretion to give dollars to from tariffs.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
I don't want to pay anyway. No, I'm not happy.
I like farmers, I don't mind them getting help. But
if we've opened up the market to their goods, where's
the buying. This is the problem. This is the entirety
of the argument. I have got a myriad of things,

(07:21):
a myriad of things that I am happy with with
this president. This is not one of those things. New
York Post, they're editorial yesterday. Listen to the people, President Trump.
They really do feel economic pain. I cannot believe they
are missing this with such force.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Even if you don't want it.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
To be a conversation about affordability, because the left sidea
of affordability is you pay more, you pay more taxes. Now,
that's what Trump's version. You pay higher tariffs.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Now somebody else gets a deal. Everything's more affordable. You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Right here where I work, people were informed about their
health insurance and those premiums.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
We're not the only people.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Dealing with this. The increase is large, large. Oh oh,
nobody's happy. Nobody is happy. And this is just one
of many things where prices have gone up and we
don't feel we're getting a value for it. So now

(08:38):
we pay more for goods we don't feel we're getting
a value for it, And now we have picked certain
groups to benefit as opposed to the nation writ large, Well, Tony,
if milk is less expensive, you're benefiting. That is not
an argument that it's going to really satisfy. I don't
mind help and I don't mind. I don't mind making

(09:01):
it easier for farmers. I mind twelve billion dollars. The
eleven billion would be available for one time payment to
another billion to set aside to ensure the department can
meet other needs.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, no thanks.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Then you have Congress which wants to be able to
withhold funding to the Pentagon until they release the boat footage,
you know, the drug boat getting destroyed. They went back
and shot at it again. Double tap is what that
would be called. I don't know if Congress is going
to get that. Congress is going to withhold one quarter

(09:42):
of Pete Hegsay's travel budget until the Pentagon turns over
videos of the strikes.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
His travel budget. You say, all right, well, if if
you want.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
The Secretary of War, Secretary of Defense flying commercial I'm
sure he'll do it.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
That'll be safe. They want unedited video.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Strikes conducted against designated terrorist organizations in the area of
responsibility of the United States Southern Command, and they want
that for the House and Senate, an Armed Services committee.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Now there is an oversight conversation to be had here.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Let's not think the Congress doesn't have oversight capability of
the military. Absolutely they do.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Do I mind them seeing the video? No? I don't.
Is it more probable than not they're going to get
the video? Yes, what is this? It seems like silliness.
People got briefed. Now you need the video.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
All I wanted was the video of Joe Biden giving
the testimony there to Richard Hurr, the special counsel who
was looking into what a feeble old nanny is.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
And you're like, oh, we can't show you the video.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's what Merrick Garland said that then, Attorney General, it'll
expose our tactics.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
We can't allow that.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Same rules, guys, same rules, same rules, same rules. Maybe later,
maybe later you can get it. No, no, not the
same rules.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
All right.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
I'm just saying they set the rules, and I think
that they should have to live by the rules.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
That they set just one man's theory.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Speaking of rules, I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to
marry your brother to help them get into the country legally.
And now you have Somali community leaders who are saying
out loud absolutely, ilhan Omar married her brother, the guy
who became her second husband, her brother. She wanted to

(11:47):
get her brother papers so he could stay in the
United States, so.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
She did it.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
We all thought she was just getting papers to allow
him to stay in this country.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
By the way, ilanomars Muslim, and I did not know this.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
She was married to her brother by a Christian minister.
I have so many questions, starting with let's talk about the.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Violation of the law here in the jail time. Full investigation.
I mean this should have been.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Investigated anyway, full investigation. Please don't stop, and anybody offended by.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
It, don't care.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Your offense is not as offensive as ilhan Omar right now,
without the proof of this, this has been long been rumored.
This has long been rumored. This has been rumored for
a long time. There you go, tony, investigate. Oh, by
the way, do I think it's true? I ten thousand
percent think it's true. But I'll take the investigation and

(12:54):
let that make the decision happily. Ah the Christmas season,
you gotta love it. Things are decorated, lights are twinkling.
There's eggnog, which is perfect, by the way, the perfect meal,
the egg McMuffin glass, eggnog, and of course a close

(13:16):
by bathroom. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Good
to be with you. And because it's Christmas, I like
take a little moment each and every morning in December,
take a breath and take a beaten and share some
some good songs, some songs that they tell me that are.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Of good cheer.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
And that's why I bring you. Jews playing Christmas tunes.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Juice playing Christmas Dude, strings and bells. It's a holly
jolly knight. So turn that radio, leffing. It's totally into
the group, Miss Sugar, Chris Joe playing Christmas touns. We're

(14:10):
rocking this season, Miss Sugar.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
These are songs that were either performed or written Christmas
songs by Jews. I Went a Good Classic nineteen fifty
three because anytime you can.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Play earth a Kit, you should play earth a Kit.
And Tony wasn't Earthkit. Catwoman oh yes, oh yes, she was.
We all have a moment.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
We all have a moment to think about Eartha kit
He Now, oh see that was appropriate. Carl, Well done,
you're learning, You're getting there. You're getting there. Did I
sent it to you, Carl?

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Did you get it?

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:58):
I have it all right.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Fourth for the Christmas season is Santa Baby for mis
your Carl hit it.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Boom boom boo boom chicks. I'm telling you, yes, for
a lot. It's also Hearth a kick.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
And hurry Now.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
I think Santa m'd actually given that to her. I
think Santo was just Smith. It makes perfect sense. Matt
Bear in the.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
WIBC traffic center, that was Jews playing Christmas tunes.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
We'll have another one for you tomorrow. Don't you worry
about that.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
So let me give you three things that are going
on that nobody is really talking about, and they need
to be This was MS They call themselves ms now,
don't they They call themselves MS now.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
And here's their report.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Here's the headline that they've got Ice has arrested nearly
seventy five thousand people with no criminal records. Data shows.
Is that the story? No, it's not the story. That's
the headline. That's the misleading headline. Seventy five thousand people

(16:13):
know criminal records. That doesn't mean they're in the country.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Legally, does it.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
It means that they haven't engaged in a criminal act
while in the United States.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
But again, that's the headline, not the story.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
You want the story first paragraph, which people don't even read.
More than a third of the roughly two hundred and
twenty thousand people arrested by ICE, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement
officers in the first nine months of the Trump administration
had no criminal histories. Wait a second, I can do math,
if only because I just got myself an update on

(16:46):
my phone.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
So my calculator is working overtime right here. If I
take two.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Hundred and twenty thousand people and I subtract what was it,
seventy five thousand people, that means one hundred and forty
five thousand people were on the streets who were here
illegally with criminal records. You mean Donald Trump and Republicans
got one hundred and forty five thousand people off the streets.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
Well, all right, absolutely can I well woo yeah, yeah,
oh my gosh, this plan is working.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Fantastic If that's not narrative pushing, what is the entire
purpose of this was actually NBC News.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
The entire purpose of the.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Headline from NBC News was to engage a false narrative
so people would see the headline and move on and
think something when it wasn't the case, because there's no
saying that the seventy five thousand people, whether or not
they were in the country legally. So that's that's one
number two in the hey, don't count your chickens before they're.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Hatched kind of way. Jimmy Kimmel got a contract extension.
Let me say that again.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
The guy who absolutely lied and tried to tell people
that the assassin of Charlie Kirk was somehow connected to
Charlie Kirk. I mean Candace Owens, I didn't know wrote
for Jimmy Kimmel, I for one, and personally shocked. Jimmy
Kimmel tried to make it you think that it was
somebody who was aligned with Kirk that assassinated Kirk.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
That wasn't the case. He was pulled off the air
for a couple of days.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
He gets put back on the air because nothing lasts forever,
and now his deal has been extended through twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
So yeah, they.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Don't care that they lose money, they don't care that
they don't have ratings.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
None of that matters to ABC. It doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
This is who they are are, this is what Disney wants.
And if I'm Barry Weiss, you may be getting rid
of Colbert, which is the right move. That doesn't mean
you should get rid of Late Night, Barry, And I know,
I know you're running news, but there's an opportunity here,

(19:21):
and you've got sway. There's a great opportunity here. Did
I mention we should talk about it? And then number
three in the most I Told you So moment I
have had in a long long time, Harvard Harris Pole
showing that Robert F. Kennedy Junior outranks Donald Trump when

(19:43):
it comes to popularity forty three percent favorable for Kennedy
forty percent unfavorable.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
It puts him above JD. Vance.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
No kidding, because people like Maha make America healthy again.
They like me idea that there's an actual pursuit to
get the nonsense out of the foods. There's an honest
conversation about a whole host of things.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
No matter what the left likes are doesn't like.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
This is connecting and there's an opportunity to grab moms
and women and all sorts of people. But I'm talking
about those groups specifically. The problem is some people think
that RFK might be in a position to run for
president himself. I don't want this, but the idea that
what he's doing is working and he's more popular, absolutely,

(20:34):
Republicans should be running on Maha going into the midterms.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Those are three things you needed to know.
