Why, from the heartland and the crossroads of America, it's Tony Katz today. You take Nicholas Maduro out of power. The drugs into the United States never mind the horror show he is for the Venezuelans. The Venezuelan people cheer, and American liberals say, how dare you? It was a fine example of how completely out of touch the American left is. Really a broken group of people, people who do not see the country the way we do as Kendrick explained, they're not like us. They really aren't.
Tony Katz. Tony Katz today. Good to be here. Good to be with you. Find everything at TonyKatz.com angry, upset, infuriated, that we would make a move on Nicholas Maduro who took over for Hugo Chavez in that regime, and the people of Venezuela have lived in hell. Well Tony, the people of Venezuela having a hard time, that's not necessarily our fault, is it? It's not our problem, is it? I didn't say it was our fault. I didn't necessarily say it was our problem, but I don't think there's anything wrong with getting a drug runner, stop running the drugs. I didn't think there was anything wrong with taking out the drug votes either. And the precision with which that operation was undertaken, boggles the mind. It was incredibly well done. And part of the operation's purpose was to show the world what we can do.
You can argue the same thing is true about what it is you're seeing in Iran. The president, by the way, stating that things are progressing faster than expected, and any threat will be crushed whatever it takes, which is the proper argument. It's not only the argument to show the rest of the world that when we say we're going to do something, we're not stopping until it is done. It is an argument to the rest of America that yeah, we really do know how to do this if we actually go about doing it. And now adults are in the room handling the thing and allow me to say thank goodness we have adults in the room. When you don't have adults in the room, you get Jimmy Carter. When you don't have adults in the room, you leave billions of dollars of hardware to the Taliban as you make a hasty exit and lead to 13 Americans deaths that you don't care enough
about. So when their bodies arrive home, you're looking at your watch. So Biden should never be able to live that one down. Adults in the room matter. The left constantly shows itself to not be like us, to be wholly and completely un-American. We start with just some of the basic reactions to what happened in Iran, where George Conway, who is famous for having sex with Kellyanne Conway and having no other discernible skills, but he's a darling of the left because he hates Trump. He actually put out on social media, perhaps the terrorist state with nuclear weapons is
the United States of America. At that moment, you realize you're not dealing with rational people. You're not dealing with normal people. You're dealing with anti-American zealots and that's what George Conway is and that's where today's American, American left is, that's who they are. It is an un-American point of view and an un-American group of people. I do not argue with the people or have an issue, I should say, with the people who say, well, the problem here is that the president didn't declare war and Congress needs to declare war. I don't disagree that Congress needs to declare war. However, it should be noted that the president is well within his rights via the War Power Act. He is allowed to engage. He has to notify Congress in 48 hours of what has happened, which is what he is doing today. And he has 60 days to wrap up operations or ask for a declaration of war from Congress.
A Congress where you cannot be sure of these leftists and Thomas Massey would deliver. Thomas Massey wants to make the argument that Iran is not a threat, Thomas Massey is wrong. Thomas Massey wants to make an argument regarding economics, sometimes he's right. But on every conversation of foreign policy over these last couple years, Thomas Massey has failed. I don't know if you want to call it the woke right or just ridiculous, but he's wrong in this argument. Now, if Congress wants to go back, changing the war powers act are more than welcome to. But so far, President Trump is absolutely within his authority. But we now go through a series of moments here, a series of statements made by progressives that show that they not like us and what they favor and what they believe in is not America
on top. This is George Stephanopoulos asking the question of Adam Schiff, the senator from California. I had told how many led a regime that brutalized its own people, watched attacks around the world for almost 40 years. So was the president right to take him out? No. You're right about the itola. He was a brutal dictator. This is a murderous regime, but at the same time, it posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. What in the world is this talk of imminent threat? Even Andy McCarthy in the pages of National Review was like, what in the world does that even mean? Adam Schiff wants a standard to exist that doesn't exist. At what moment is the threat from the regime imminent when they've built the nuclear weapon or when the itola is just bringing his finger down to press the button at what moment? At what moment in the descent of the pointer finger is it imminent or is it just going
to be a fist down? He uses thumb. I don't know. Pick your digit at what moment is it imminent? Your ship senator, aren't you embarrassed? California should be damn well embarrassed. You elected a schmuck, imminent threat. How about the idea that you take out the threat before it becomes imminent? You absolute fool, do you cut out the cancer when you first hear about it or right at the moment where all the chemo has failed and you're just three days away from death? Right what moment? That's Schiff. Then you get to the New York Times. You could never go wrong with the New York Times, ladies and gentlemen. They'll never let you down. The New York Times puts out a headline that says, I told the Ali Kamani, hard line cleric
who made Iran a regional power is dead at 86. No conversation about the killing of gay people. No conversation about the torture. No conversation in the headline about the terrorism. Just hard line cleric who made Iran a regional power. But when Rush Limbaugh died, Rush Limbaugh dies at 70, turned talk radio into a right-wing attack machine. I mean, what else is there to say at every moment, the New York Times, the Washington post, they will side with the worst despots out there. This is the Washington post where you have the story from the good people at news busters.
Remember these are the guys who said of ISIS leader, he was an austere religious scholar and their obituary says Ayatollah Ali Kamani, Iran's supreme leader is dead at 86. And here's what they wrote. They wrote, he had previously called on Iranians to rise up and pledged, all the way, that was not it. Yes, no, no, that was not it. Where is it? Here it is. With his bushy white beard and easy smile, Ayatollah Kamani cut a more avuncular figure in public than his perpetually scowling, but much more revered mentor, as he was known to be found a Persian poetry and classic Western novels. He was a terrorist. He was a terrorist, supported terrorism, supported the killing of 1200 Israelis, the raping of
women in setting of children on fire. Bushy white beard, he was just Santa for Muslims. I don't know how many more ways to explain to you that they hate you. They hate America. They side with terrorists. This is who they are. More and more and more and more than there is this. This lie about how the Israelis bombed the school, the United States bombed the school. There is no proof that the US or Israel dropped a bomb on a school. There has been a discussion of an Iranian missile that misfired and hit the school with the school being near some military sites. There is zero proof of this and if you buy into this, you are receded to leave, stoop
it and receded to leave levels of propaganda, which brings us to receded to leave, who posted both the US and genocidal Israel doesn't care about the laws. No, that's not the sign in proper English. It doesn't matter. Let's do this again. Note the US and genocidal Israel doesn't care about the laws. This is who they are. I'm sorry. Excuse me. Forgive me here. Did you just say they? This is who they are. You're a, you're a member of the United States Congress. The US is now, they, look, I've looked at the oath of office and I'm asking Speaker Mike Johnson, if she took the oath of office and she views the US as they, how could you possibly uphold, protect and defend the Constitution?
Maybe there was a lie told and maybe for violating the oath, you got to go. By the way, dear born, we see you and we've also heard some of your religious leaders you got a problem. You have got a problem. Maybe you are the problem. Are you not interested in upholding defending and protecting the Constitution? Do you not want your elected leaders to do that? Whether it's dearborn or whether it's any of these areas that surround in Michigan or really any other city you can go to in the country. Because if you're not willing to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, you got to go and if you refer to the United States as they, when you serve in Congress, you also have to go. Then there's Columbia University. You can never ever go wrong with Columbia University.
They've got a whole Twitter feed for their boycott divestment and sanction. And what are they? Right? Mark Barr, America, would you like to take a guess as to what it means? Do you want to take a guess? Well, death to America, let's see if I'm right. Let's just make sure that I'm right, death to America. It's the Persian phrase for death to America. That's what they post to Columbia. So now who in the world is posting this and are they in the country on a student visa and if they are, deport them and the more they cry, the more you should throw them into the back of airplanes and if they don't like it, into the cargo holds, you go and we're not even going to land. We've got a whole bunch of parachutes. We're going to try one out on you. Don't want to hear it.
Don't want it. Don't yell at me. Don't send me an email. You know what? You want to send me an email? Send me an email. Clay and Buck at Yahoo.com. I'm sure it'll get to me right away. The left is telling you something. The left is showing you their disdain for America and their support for a terrorist regime. You can't vote for these people. They're insane. If you are in your earlier mid-twenties and you're trying to get your life going, get your job going, get your career going, get a family going, get a future going, um, these leftists want you to be subjected to terrorist violence. They don't want you to have a career and a life and a future. You can't vote for these people. I didn't say the Republican Party was perfect. These people are somewhat dumb at times, maybe more than just at times, but these lefty
support terrorists. They don't support the country at all. You can't vote for these people. They're nuts. And they aren't going to stop anytime soon. I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today.
