The Live from the heartland and the crossroads of America It's Tony cats today Some told that Claude is down and open a eyes down and Grock is down but I Just made a thumbnail with it If you want to know on all the live streams I use Grock now to make the thumbnails Because I just do it quick right before we get going Tony cats Tony cats today major outages of This let's let's find out let's let's find out let's go to Claude let's go to Claude and find out whether or not we have outages And let's say let's do it like this hey Claude this is Tony are you having an outage right now? See I try to talk very nicely to the AI now according to Claude I'm working fine on my end right now responding normally

So the AI doesn't even know it's having an outage Claude said of course that there was only a momentary thing that it's still back online Google has not confirmed the disservice disruption Microsoft is showing a spike in reports I want this to be somebody else's problem And I want the people who complain about AI but use AI for everything to stop complaining There are going to be outages there are going to be problems as there is with all tech and maybe the answer is just a wee bit less tech I'm not anti tech you know this goes into the whole data center conversation but we don't ever ask ourselves where is it where is it enough? Where if we like you know okay we were utilizing the tech the tech is everywhere we utilize it for our work this that and the other maybe

Maybe it's enough maybe we don't need to do any more maybe less is more Gen Z I think is right in the less is more now they're not living up to their words on every level If you're doing all your homework assignments with with the AI Well then I don't want to hear your problems I don't want to hear you complain But I also have the same Gen Z that is trying to push away from things and get to things that are tactile as we've discussed What I want to see is in I mean never mind the just the AI and just saying okay there's a place for this but it's not in everything just like technology There's a place for this but not in everything I would like to see us move full away from the influencer class a class that is doing us damage and isn't filled with smart people

The vast majority of influencers are schmucks who couldn't make it in porn and want to pretend they're not in porn Now that's not true of every political influencer they're just dealing with rage bait But every influencer who's wearing the skirt and the low cut shirt and showing us how great our golf shot is no one cares about your golf shot you are material You know that you know it I know it we don't have to discuss it everybody I know only fans and all that stuff you see on Facebook that's what it is It's not influence it's free porn That's all it's ever been that's all it's ever going to be is that what you want for the political influencers it is where can I bring about the most rage and pretend that I am some kind of expert I have never once thought of myself as an influencer I've said this numerous times I'm a radio host I do this I talk about ideas I share opinions people do with it what they will I think that the difference is is that I have some kind of guideline that I have to live by

You can argue that's the FCC you can argue that it's traditional sponsors because right because I work in an analog style which is stupid I make money in an analog way far more than I do in a digital way But because I have those standards I think that we have a better product you know where that can't be said true of the news So I start with the the influencer class is an exhausting group of pseudo intellectuals and pseudo porn stars anybody wanted to bait this 833 got Tony 833 4 6 8 866 9 833 got Tony that's the number that's how you get to be a part of the show pseudo intellectuals, grifters, pseudo porn stars I'm not saying that they can't I just want to understand what they are

But if we say that then we get ourselves into the place where who are we supposed to be trusting while you trust the what the traditional routes the mainstream media trust the news trust the news Trust Jake Tapper are you out of your head I'm gonna trust anything MSNBC wants to throw at me or MS now MS no I don't know what they call themselves no the New York Times Washington Post Anybody gonna apologize for Russia Russia Russia and he gonna apologize for all of the the the the the the the the the COVID insanity So if we can agree on the influencer class it doesn't necessarily mean we throw ourselves into traditional media part of what the influencer class does is that the influencer class believes that they are somehow special and the rules don't apply to them

Or maybe better said if they just ignore the rest of the world they can get away with that as long as the rest of the world is paying attention to them this was the US open they play tennis in New York don't you know There were they were out there where an influencer quite literally brought a ring light to one of the matches so she can make content for her whatever I don't know whatever her page site channel who knows Then there was a group of women in a luxury suite recording a video this is in the middle of a match with Naomi Osaka who Osaka sorry who is not necessarily unknown and they're posing for photos

They're they're doing the whole thing they don't care that the match is going on the match doesn't matter to them my gosh exactly how insane is fam I am what's the I don't know if I would be called local celebrity or minor celebrity my father rest is all used to joke minor celebrity some people would say local celebrity which means to say where I live people know what I do I'm telling you of all these influencers who were taking photos in a suite at the US open which I don't know how they get the sweet why would you have these people there they're not known there is known as I am which is to say not known But they all act like they're a star they all one of the things I've never figured out is this whole diva thing if I thought being a diva would lead to cash watch me work I could I could out diva anyone

Oh such a good time with that all these people act like divas all these people act like they're the thing that matters nothing else matters not being involved in the moment matters you are at the US open it is world class tennis happening right in front of you Nope got to take a picture got to take the photo got to have the little move the stupid dance like like it matters and that's why the influencer has to go because the influencers influence is to show a generation that somehow these things matter And to you the 19 year old doing the dance on tiktok doesn't matter ladies the dance on tiktok only matters to the guy who's going to watch that for as much time as is necessary was that too much land and was that too no yes

So okay we understand what I'm saying there do we understand what like I it was I was trying to clean up the crudeness I think I think you might understand that's it Everything else is not even necessary it's what happens when an algorithm tries to capture the mind so everybody is disrupting this tennis match right this is this is what doom scrolling is it's disrupting your tennis match it's disrupting you from the thing that actually is right in front of you From a group of people who believe that they can command and demand your attention the only way to get rid of the influencers stop giving them the intention to value this proposition now there are people creating content online that is valuable I need to spend more time watching people know how to fix a car that's something I could use and I could utilize

I need to spend more time watching the content of people who can understand what to plant in my backyard that those freaking rabbits won't eat I am spraying stuff I've got fencing the only thing I haven't hired yet is armed guards But the influencer class we've discussed it here is a valueless thing I've seen the influencers in like for example the world I play in which is cigars and I do it by having a radio show called eatering smoke we review cigars and we review bourbon Most people you see doing cigar reviews are hey here are girls in various stages of undress or incredibly tight dresses holding a cigar cigar influencer I'm smoking a cigar as we speak it's not influence it's porn so let's just call it porn on the political side it's political porn

some people do a really good job and they share recipes there's a guy there's a chef I don't have any connection to him whatsoever his name is a bomb orano bald guy oh it's fantastic there's fantastic content that's out there yes every day is feast day is is is bomb orano oh it's fantastic he's fantastic not porn just good content I'm not begrudging the content creator be successful be more successful than me go get him I am saying is clear as day this influencer stuff isn't influence and the only thing it's influencing is the rest of us to be desensitized into really bad behaviors how about we not do I want to ban them from the interwebs no no no no no I don't you if this is what you want to do you go do it do I think it's so less yes do I think your regret it absolutely

you entitled to do it knock yourself out go right ahead should we watch it no and we should tell the US open that every time you bring a bunch of influencers over you're ruining what the thing is we don't need the influencers it's tennis we know all about it let's hear from the people who know about tennis don't show me somebody who's got some weird kind of vocal fry affect we're watching the US open it it's so awesome oh my god they're hitting the ball oh it's crazy nobody wants to see that guy and it's always a guy it's always you would think it's the chick it's always the guy now the guy may not know is a guy but it's always the guy it is our job to push them out of our lives and on the political influence or side absolutely the people who are farming the outrage is supposed to engage gone

gone now the funny thing is is that I will be accused of these things many times because people disagree we're not talking about disagreement they're like how do we go about the attack and you see it in comments and all sorts of things right how do you measure and how do you judge these things I gotta leave that to you but I gotta also believe that everybody is normal mostly normal the guy with the vocal fry totally not normal the influencer that is valueless which is there great many number of them it's like it is like porn it is pornography I don't know how to define it but you know when you see it meanwhile AI went down for a bit and the world didn't stop which means you can stop using AI for all the things and probably be fine there's a lot to get to keep it here this is Tony cats today

a team jeffries speaking to members of the press saying he will not in any way shape or form support the save act in line with the exact values that members of congress about uphold when they sworn out to defend the constitution my comments as it relates to the resolution have been crystal clear in that resolution republicans called for the enactment of the so called save America act which is voter suppression legislation no it's not no it's not it's not voter suppression that's that's just not true Tony cats Tony cats today it's a team jeffries his problem is that he looks like if democrats should win he might very well get suppressed from being the speaker the save act is about ensuring that Americans are voting

and opposition to the save act I argue is just a wee bit nutty now I favored efforts to also send to the senate just voter ID legislation etc get started somewhere going down this road he is complaining that the resolution was to oppose socialism and look at all the democrats that voted to oppose socialism it was politics 101 get the democrats on on the records saying they have no problem with socialism right here is a bit of resolution socialism doesn't belong in the United States we're going to vote to say socialism doesn't belong in the United States and they had 198 plus or 198 I think it was the number 190 plus democrats voting against the resolution that said we don't support socialism so they voted in favor of socialism and that's it's politics 101 got used against them they got all burned on it they're all upset about it so what so what

but the save acts is not voter suppression it's a lie they told me that the changes to voting in Georgia we're going to be voter suppression you can't even give somebody a bottle of water tell people to bring their own damn water hey voters this is Tony cats when you show up to the polling place you might have to wait a little while that's why you should bring water that's right clear delicious water fresh from the tap or buy a bottle at the local store water it'll hydrate and refresh that way while you're waiting in line you won't be parched water good that's what I didn't even eat a eye to write that I honestly land and why am I not getting paid for this I am giving away this gold for free and that is a bunch of horse crap they told me that not giving a bottle of water was voter suppression tell the voter I don't give a damn if they're thirsty it's on them all voters I don't care if you're thirsty it's your problem I don't care if you're hungry I don't care if you're sweaty I don't care if you're cold

you can't be cold handle yourself but the issue for a Kim Jeffries is that he is wildly unpopular and he has to deal with the fact that even if Democrats should win even if they were to win there's no saying that he will be the speaker this is that guy Troy Jackson who replaced the Nazi grand partner in Maine this is the guy married his cousin listen if you're elected would you commit to supporting Chuck Schumer for majority leader well you know I mean I've already said that you know I don't support senator Schumer you know I think it's time for for new ideas Schumer doesn't have it locked up in the Senate a Kim Jeffries doesn't have it locked up in the house that's their problem I'm Tony Katz this is the final move for this regime after 47 years you don't you don't believe at this point that this regime will outlast this administration

it will end before the end of Trump's term is that what you're belief I believe it will be much sooner because you know everyone says well sanctions don't work well first of all Rob we have never seen an economic isolation like this in history we have new authorities whether it's digital assets maritime aviation assets that we are going after but the real power here is the sequencing so we had the high level kinetic military action some of the greatest in history in terms of the precision and the destruction Iran has no Navy they have no Air Force we have substantially depleted their their missile and drones are we have destroyed their missile factories about 85% of those so kinetic check we have what President Trump calls the iron wall we have the blockade up nothing is going in nothing is coming out of these Iranian ports which is a good thing

Tony Katz Tony Katz today an absolute pleasure to be with you that Secretary Scott doesn't I think he speaks into many specifics but I think he's modeling the President who also speaks into many specifics I wish he wouldn't like when the when the President says that you know this is going to be over soon you oh you don't you don't know that sir let's not say that that's going to be the case let's not let's not let's not do that and certainly let's not if we could say things that will drive Republicans as insane as this right here so the stock market wasn't affected although it would even be higher believe it or not the stock market will go up

but it's very simple Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon as soon as it's over which I don't think it will be very much longer I don't know how much more they can take but you know whatever it is it doesn't matter and I'm not affected by the election number one I'm not running my party is running and I'm going to help my party but I think my party respects the fact that we're not allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon sir this isn't about whether what they respect this is about what did you just say the election doesn't affect you because you're not running a week ago you were telling people that they should act like you're on the ballot now you're not running I happen to have this whole conversation today with Sean Spicer on his show that will be released I don't know depending on the time you hear this might already been released it'll be out today so look for that we have this conversation if you listen to someone like Harry Enten go through the numbers and I happen to like Harry Enten over at CNN

the numbers say that the Republican party is more popular than Trump right now so Democrats really want Trump to time-stop to this election so the election is about Trump and that way he will bring them down the problem is the Democrat party all they do is campaign about Trump it's all about Trump it's always about Trump 24-7-365 Trump Trump Trump Trump that doesn't that doesn't change you can argue that if you're focusing on Trump you're not focusing on subjects and subjects engage differently you know precinct or precinct or district to district that's the story there so you can paint with a broad brush something like well Trump means this or that Trump plays differently in different places but if you have Trump saying you're voting for me vote like I'm on the ballot and then comes and says I'm not on the ballot

I'm not running he's now confusing things he's now muddying the waters Trump is always on the ballot always always always on the ballot when he doesn't run in 2028 he will still be on the ballot and Democrats will do everything they can to put him on the ballot in 2030 and 2032 a unrelated subject has anybody asked the question about whether or not after Trump is done he's going to run for Congress oh I'm sorry did I just break the interwebs I'm sorry I'm the first person to bring this up to you I didn't mean for that to happen maybe I should have told you to sit down first do you need do you need a bromide do you need a little something to take a take the edge off

sure Trump could decide not to do that Trump can decide I've had enough I'm a former president I had two terms I'm just going to do the speaking thing if the guy wants to be in it he could be in it in a whole series of ways when you're dealing with Trump everything is possible just just putting that joyful piece out there he's on he's on the ballot he is a part of this he can't avoid that and neither can Republicans now Republicans can decide how much they focus on him do they need his endorsement for anything do they still we are in as we have discussed the post Trump politics

they've moved past him already when we're talking about I believe this midterm and certainly the run for 2028 I noticed Jennifer when we talk about running you know could could Trump run for another office she said vice president no one's going to do it let me put that one to bed nope nope nope it's not going to happen one of the things America will not take is a medvedev Putin situation remember when medvedev ran for what what are they called president over there and I forgot what position Putin was going to be and was like okay so Putin still in charge but medvedev you know he gets to he gets to hold the position that America won't go for it absolutely positively won't go for it you can tell me you want you know that they will all you want you can tell me Trump's that popular Trump could win a congressional district Trump could win a Senate race I believe that's be true America will not take it they just won't they'll be like stop it stop this also anybody who runs for president

you think they have an interest in being a puppet this is not Russia once they're sworn in their president all bets are out the window you're the vice president I'll keep you in a broom closet like your name is Harry Potter under the cupboard you go was in the cupboard under the stairs somewhere with stairs and a cupboard in a broom closet that's where you'll be so this that part doesn't work we don't have to play with with that but there are things that will be happening in this election season we should discuss some of them and we should discuss the fact that something something else we discussed with Sean Spicer that I bring to you and we've discussed before everybody's starting to acknowledge that just like we discussed he came Jeffries and he's got to have a hard time being speaker because he's not getting the support Democrats have a larger scale problem and someone made an explanation to me that I thought was so good I felt I had to take it share it with you and now make it a part of what happens here we noticed the polling during those races and Wisconsin and Michigan for for Democrats and we looked at what is the

congressional generic polling right no candidate but just Republican or Democrat for Congress and then we took a look at the races in Michigan and Wisconsin the Michigan race had L.S.I.E.E. up by 13 he wins by a point over Haley Stevens Wisconsin race has ran Cheska hung up by double digits and she loses that race by half a point the polls are not properly addressing what it is we're seeing now some of it is some some some people trying to game the system some of it is I don't think they understand how to ask the question people are not responding honestly and properly I think this is going to be a big issue and I think it's going to be a big issue in the midterm the generic poll I have looked at it often the generic congressional vote my argument has been that this does not

vote well for Democrats at all they're not up by enough in the generic vote so if I were to take a look at the last I only take a look at likely voters not registered voters and the reason is is that a registered voter is step one who amongst those registered voters are likely to vote that's who you want to know about so I could take a look at two polls registered voters that show Democrats up plus six and plus five put that to the side there is the morning consult that has registered voters and has Democrats up plus five put it to the side let's take the two before that likely voters well the morning console I'm sorry quantus insights likely voters it has Democrats up seven Rasmus reports as Democrats up five wow okay the latest Harvard Harris poll has Republicans up by two I can't make this up guys I'm not making it up there it is

follow me on the live stream I'll show you right there so the blue is Democrats the red is Republicans the top line is the real clear politics average that's what you use real clear politics that shows Democrats up five point seven the red is the Republicans up plus two in this poll of likely voters how Harvard Harris poll then it shows Democrats up plus six plus five plus five plus seven plus five plus eight plus five plus six some of those have registered voters three of those have registered voters so yes it does show Democrats up but if you add the now the Republicans in it shows the Democrats up plus five I'm here to tell you that that number does not at all bowed well for them not in the slightest everything but that number shows them in a place where they are really affected well as was explained to me and they're affected by their own failures and capabilities

and support of socialist communist etc if we actually ask ourselves whether or not a generic vote has value you come to the place that it doesn't tell enough of a story generic vote doesn't tell the story of what's going to take place in in the district where you live those politics are local the generic vote can actually cover that so maybe even the conversation about the generic vote even though we break it down into more proper context doesn't really have a value and we take a look what happened in Michigan Wisconsin why would we trust any of it I think that's the way to look at these things I think the way to look at these things is the polling can't be trusted I mean the odds would still be with the Democrats right the party not in power gains seats that's that's the standard I just don't believe this is a standard year and I think the polling has shown us that we can't trust their numbers I think that's the way to play it from here on out keep it here I'm Tony cats and this is Tony cats today still no verdict in the Lindsey Clancy case now I think she's guilty because she killed her kids and I saw a transcript of the number

of the 911 call I didn't hear the 911 call I saw transcript of it no thanks no no no thanks in the end nothing nothing moves me more than the idea of she sent her husband out to pick up dinner and then murdered the kids one by one there's there's there's nothing else absolutely nothing else other than that the issue of course is America is discussing it is liberal white women who want to excuse the behavior well you don't understand postpartum depression don't care you killed your kids you deal with the consequences excusing the murder of children well that's a thing and if you want to know if liberalism is evil there you go to what it does right we're talking about cleaving the soul from the person that's what it is

you don't have any level of you you can say that she went through a thing you can say this or that all of it she still killed her kids there has to be a responsibility that exists she's not responsible she is responsible when people who follow the case far greater than I will all say oh nothing nothing says that this wasn't completely pre-meditated also there's some cable news rankings out right ratings that are stuff ratings and stuff that are out it's it's it's rough news for CNN which is in a very very good third place like an aggressive third place okay this is Tony cats today why from the heartland and the crossroads of America it's Tony cats today so we are waiting on the vice president of the United States

he will be doing the White House briefing today Tony cats that's me not the vice president not yet anyway Tony cats today guys good to be here good to be with you use this one right here so this is the the shot right now from inside of the briefing room there I don't know who the lady in pink is Peter do you see is sitting in the Fox seat good time we had a by all maybe we'll see what the vice president has to say one has to assume he's going to get asked questions mostly about Tucker Carlson now I address this yesterday and I'm hearing a lot about him today I still think that our argument is the correct argument the argument before us is whether or not the vice president has to somehow

distance himself from Tucker Carlson I don't believe that's the case I believe that there is no possibility of distancing himself from Tucker Carlson this is just the way it is he has already said shown through his actions that he has zero interest whatsoever zero interest in trying to denounce Tucker and his madness and Tucker's madness is madness Tucker is known to blame but himself and I don't plan on spending any time concerning myself with Tucker's feelings on the subject I don't think anybody should Tucker has decided that going down this road of being not anti Israel

no no no no no no no of being well certifiable in his hatred of Jews and it's just in the flat out bigotry he's decided that this is the way this is the future this is the promise and you got margin Taylor green to go with him it's almost master to go with him go live your lives go be happy and your weirdo come you know thanks don't want any part of it if you don't think this is going to affect Vance as he runs for president well I don't think you understand what's going on also I know that everybody always talks about they they've got a source right I've I've got friends I have people have been in this world longer than me who have different contacts than I do one might expect some information to fly what I'm hearing and I haven't heard what it's going to be yet what I have heard is that you might hear some people talk about next steps

and that may come today tomorrow next week but allegedly soon J. Vance has the Tucker Carlson problem he cannot escape this problem the problem is of his own making and his own doing it is because they do share an alignment in how they see the future of America and how they see America's place that alignment is through a not only a radical this isolationism but it is also seen through a religious lens and how they view the country the vice president's done this to himself I've said this before about him when it comes to to foreign policy not my foreign policy I've said this about the vice president on the idea of the nation itself when he talks about it being a place of the land as opposed to an idea it is an idea it is the idea that moves people the land is just land that's what every other country does and we are just not like every other country as a matter of philosophy as a matter of value I don't believe that the vice president is playing in the right place on that subject now is the vice president dumb certainly not is the vice president good on a whole host of subjects he has shown himself to be

in the right place I should be clear that the democrats do not have anybody who measures up they don't come close and we have people who measure up better than JD Vance but just as in this conversation of Tucker right this question this conversation this question of Tucker is going to get asked to the vice president when the White House press briefing starts right it's going to happen so I can't feel bad for them do you think I feel do you think I feel in any way bad from our gruffalo the actor God know you want to be a Jew hating big it you expose yourself as a Jew hating big it you claim that it's about Zionist or Israel some other crap you are what you are you look to the ADL or whatever it was for for cover you want to get help in trying to figure out apologies and how to defend yourself you don't decide what you want to do you don't want to defend yourself you don't deserve any help you did this to yourself your bigotry mark ruffalo is yours you you have to deal with it you had an I'm binder there's a whole host of Hollywood elitists who actually think that they have some secret knowledge these are the people dumb enough to believe that there was a genocide in Gaza committed by Israel

committed by Israel you have to start with two things to believe that first a low IQ or a willingness to dumb yourself down I will accept both answers and never once do your own research you are so desperate to see the world in the idea of a press and a presser you view the entire world through this analysis and because of that you never once ask yourself if that analysis is accurate you never once ask yourself whether or not that's true you have a larger population in Gaza you have a better fed population in Gaza just on those two things alone there is no genocide it's a lie and everyone who says there's a genocide from Israel's a liar I don't care what they think about Israel I couldn't give a damn like it hate it want to take a whiz on it want to get married they're fantastic

none of it has anything to do with reality the numbers the data the facts there is no genocide it's a lie it's a hoax it is what is said by people who are so radically ideologically so radically ideological in their desire to tear down western civilization that they will say anything that the nations that throw gay people off rooftops they say nothing about but the nation that welcomes gay pride parades that's the nation that's bad how backwards they are since everything goes back some marks and the proletariat in the bourgeoisie seen as the ninety nine percent and the one percent by Barack Obama and now seen as the construct of the oppressed in the oppressor it doesn't matter that the Palestinians murdered twelve hundred Israelis and attacked the Israelis when the Israelis were trying to figure out how to open factories they're in the Gaza envelope so more Palestinians could have jobs

that was happening the mayor of one of those towns right there next to Gaza yeah he got murdered October 7th he was working on factories to make sure the Palestinians had jobs that's how ideological they are and so we're clear and I'm understood don't tell me about innocent Palestinians I don't believe there are any twelve hundred murdered two hundred plus taken hostage and not a single Palestinian said hey let's get these people some food they're starving hey let's try and stop the rapes from taking place hey let's try and get these people smuggle them out and free them nope they were all thrilled at times the hostages had to be protected by Hamas from the Palestinians and never forget that it was the Palestinians who were part of the second wave in these attacks don't tell me about the nice sweet kind Palestinian screw that I am not interested in revision of history on any level

violence people who engaged in violence who support violence by electing these terrorists that are Hamas some of them didn't want any of this that's absolutely true and they tried to stand up and they were beaten oh gosh mark rough low Hannah I'm by do you think they care no no no no no Gaza's an open air prison because of the Israelis Gaza was a terrorist enclave where Hamas terrorized the citizenry at least those who weren't with them but far too many numbers of the citizenry were with them and wanted to engage in the terror against the Israelis sending over the kite bombs and sending you pulling the water pipes out of the ground to use them as missile launchers all the rest never minds trapping vests bombs onto their children and putting them on buses they did this and mark ruffalo wants to somehow sit and have some kind of rational conversation that israel is the problem

I don't care what you think about israel I don't give a damn I don't care what you think about what I think about israel none of that matters these are facts mark rough low did this to himself I don't really care if he's happy or not means nothing means zero it means zero to you too do I need JD Vance to denounce Tucker Carlson no the moment for that came and went it's over I know what he's about I know he's not my candidate the question was asked me what happens if vances the nominee what are you going to do in in 2028 and the answer is ask me at that moment right now I'm going to tell you he has not moved himself away from Tucker Carlson is Tucker Carlson has moved himself more and more into the radicalness okay he didn't have to you don't have to ask any more questions you know where he's at you know what he's supportive of you know what he's down with that's it mark ruffalo I know what he's down with Hannah unbinder I know she's down with I know what these people are

and now I know how to act regarding them meanwhile the vice president is going to do the press briefing I'll bring it to you keep it here this is Tony cats today so as we wait for the White House press briefing to begin you never have to wait long to hear a liberal white woman explain why men are just terrible excuse me about Pete headsets Republican Senator Tom tell us calling for the defense secretary to be fired saying that he's in at after yet another resignation from a top member of the military that being army secretary and risk who was butting heads with headsets headsets is being accused of paying more attention to cultural wars than the actual war that US troops are fighting and some Democrats are now really outwardly talking about impeachment where do you stand on this I had called for Mr. Higgseth to resign or to be removed by the president a very long time ago he's over his head he was never up to this job and we all know that

that's Madeline Dean Hexeth is not up to the job why because Dan Driscoll resigned look I didn't say Dan Driscoll was a bad guy me I'm Tony cats the show is Tony cats today I'm glad you're here find everything I do at Tony cats dot com yes he butted heads with Pete Hexeth and he resigned because Pete Hexeth is the Secretary of Defense and Dan Driscoll was the Secretary of the Army and that's the way it goes what is he not up to the task to of to or of he didn't go a wall like Lloyd Austin the previous Secretary of Defense so that's a plus focused on the culture you mean getting people out of the idea of being a weak and soft and making sure that we have a physical standard making sure that lethality is job number one that's the problem sound like a problem I focus on brawn and white males frankly shows he's just not up to it it also shows that he doesn't understand the grovy task of what he's doing

his dismiss can we stop did you hear what she said about white males let me rewind it just a little bit see here at all we all know that his focus on brawn and white males frankly shows he's just not up to it it also shows that he doesn't understand the grovy task of what he's doing his focus on brawn and white males you think white men shouldn't be in the military do you think we have too many white men in the military is this your argument we need less white men in the military I think we need soldiers people who want to fight people who are willing to put themselves on the line I think that's what we need and they need to be trained to do so and they need to be physically capable of doing so and we should train them to be physically capable of doing so and those who are not we should say you're not physically capable of this you can't do this part you can do another part

but how is any of that about gravitas what are you talking about representative dean you know that doesn't mean anything you know that you're putting a standard here that can be seen by anybody any way anytime and has nothing to do with what we're discussing which is do we have lethality and readiness within our military forces yes or no do you really think that Pete Higgseth is turning down black soldiers because that's a stupid thing to say if you're going to say that you have to show your work I'll look at the work that you show but your argument is it's bad when there are white soldiers that seems to be your argument now you can tell me it's not okay than what is what's wrong with the white soldier what's wrong with the white soldier what's wrong with the black soldier what's wrong with an Asian soldier what's wrong with the Hispanic soldier

there could be problems with a specific soldier who happens to fit one of those characteristics and the problem has nothing to do with one of those characteristics like for example if the soldier is a communist or an Islamist well it doesn't matter what they are in any other construct it's about that but if you believe that we should be focused not on brawn but focused on DEI well you are going to leave us with a lot of dead soldiers black and white and Asian and Hispanic and that's simply not going to work but that gravitas line that is just spectacular what is the gravitas that one needs? your argument is you'll take anybody who opposes Trump it doesn't mean that they're good it means that they oppose Trump

I don't know if if Pete Hackseth was the best choice I don't I don't I have no idea if that's true if there could have been a hundred other choices what I know is Pete Hackseth was the choice he got confirmed and that's the ballgame the president appointed the secretary of defense secretary of war that he wanted you don't have to like it he's allowed to get what he wants he is moving the military in a direction and for the record if we're discussing brawn if we're discussing strength if we're discussing attitude if we're discussing lethality I favor all of it I voted for all of that now there's an even better way to get it up certainly interested when we hear that Pete Hackseth put an end to a call to commission looking into drone tech well I have concerns I said so right here we need the drone tech why would we stop looking into ways to develop and build out better and more inexpensive drone technology to help us in the future fighting

which is the fighting of the future so when I hear that I'm like I have questions that would be a policy conversation that you are saying this is an example of Pete Hackseth not seeing things the way we believe in Congress a secretary of defense should he doesn't have the gravitas that's something that you that you say as if it's supposed to mean anything you're the same people who will look at someone like Newkingeriching declare them to be dumb when Newkingerich is quite clearly smarter than every Democrat who sits in the house of representatives right now combined I didn't say you liked him but smarts stop meanwhile we're still waiting on a white house press briefing I'll bring it to you if the vice president ever comes out this is Tony cats today three more things Tony cats Tony cats today good to be with you guys what are three more things these are stories that should be from page news but because of the front page news they're not from page news Lindsey clansies from page news and we still don't have a verdict

we don't have anything from the Lindsey clansies how families are experiencing the current health care system we don't have anything at all we don't have we they've come back to the judge week week we're deadlocked the judge has been like go back and try this again they they don't have it it's kind of unbelievable shocking that they don't it is shocking that we could see the idea of this woman who murdered her three children a five a five year old to three year old in a month old she could for the the figurative walk free she killed her kids then tried to kill herself cutting her wrists splitting her neck and then jumped from the second story window which left her paralyzed

and she claimed she heard things it is very very clear and obvious very very clear and obvious that the story here is not about the innocence or guilt but rather about those people specifically women who want to defend this and state that we just don't understand that's that's the argument the argument is there are women out there who want to say that what she did is understandable and if you find that she is not guilty what comes from this what comes from this is how in the world is the next woman found guilty

somebody asked how many women are on the the jury can you find that out for me producer landed is is that playing a part in this I only hope women are prepared for what's coming next I know we plenty women listen to the show and I appreciate it quite a bit what's going to come next and it's already starting there are nine women there are nine women three men thank you chat room they don't even need you producer land and chat room is on as we live stream on YouTube and rumble they are all about it if you put nine women on the jury and we find that it was the three men who said guilty and the nine women who said not guilty using as a number you have to wonder whether or not women can actually bring about an acceptable verdict if you are not prepared for the conversation about women and men that is about to occur in the United States about liberal women

about the right to vote sorry ladies you you are about to hear this you are too emotional to be a part of these things that is coming I'm sorry already here that's happening unavoidable the women who are lined up to support Lindsey Clancy and they're making that heart sign with their hands which men men should never do I may have done that once to be like wait what is it that they're doing and then realized my gosh my sperm count just went down men should never do that there are women gathered in support how much they love her oh you have to understand well there's a lot to figure out she's guilty of killing her children as a matter of fact nobody's even debating that part of it

the debating whether or not it could be understood my gosh what a what a thing but it once we get out of that jury situation we take a look at the society and this ties into the conversation the glorious Steinem has died at the age of 92 honesty requires the understanding that feminism has provided no value to women and less value to society feminism was not about did not turn out to be about the idea that women are capable women are strong and women are independent all find things good things actually quite attractive things it started being about how you hate men how you excuse activities how you just don't understand it was utilized as a shield and then of course it was utilized as a great lie your woman you can do anything you can have it all no one can have it all

and if you say to me Tony are you mansplaining this you bet your ass I am I'm a man and I explain things absolutely true thousand percent true I mansplain all the time I mansplain to my wife and I mansplain to my kids I've mansplained to my mother I mansplain to my late father I do this I'm not a politician for it either I explain things not everybody agrees with me but that's okay too you can some people are in the chat room are pointing to other cases where women have killed their children yes and certainly there could be an argument about the mental state at the time what is different is the outpouring from women that somehow want to excuse this and love this woman she's just misunderstood that is a broken society that is broken women that is feminine

that is run amuck and ruined women feminism did damage women by telling them they can have it all and they found they can't have it all and many of them said I don't need to have children I don't need to have families I'm going to do this do that and then they realize it was too late and feminism turned into the hate of men and then they realize that they're alone and what it really did was cut them move more and more to liberalism and that liberalism cleave them of their own soul and you say to me Tony how dare you this is sexist and disgusting now take a look at the women who cheer on and fantasize sexually about Luigi Mangio the murder of Brian Thompson the United Healthcare CEO and take a look at the women who have all the fields for Lindsay Clancy not a hey I don't know what she was going through but she killed her three kids and that's just not going to pass

there is an issue it is cultural and it is flat out dangerous there is a story that the Brazilians are smuggling GLP ones into Brazil that's amazing they're smuggling weight loss drugs into Brazil huge for the black market Brazil's special department of federal revenue seized approximately $12 million in GLP one injection pens three times the amounts collected in all 2025 and seizures then were already ten times what they were 24 2025 that's crazy and this is Brazil so I guess the days of the Brazilian but left over were no longer were no longer of of the of the great giant dare air

do you sure lander you are you a fan of that look not particularly no no that's not your thing yeah I guess people can be into it I'm not here to that's not the one that I judge the one that I judge is the lip filler yes that is just that is a gross gross ugly look indeed the vice president of the United States his name is JD Vance he has just taken to the podium to give the White House briefing announcement earlier in Michigan earlier this weekend Michigan that we have taken over 2000 fraudulent CDL mills out of business which makes America's roads safer and also protects the jobs of American truckers and so if you're an American trucker wondering why it is that the last administration facilitated illegal aliens driving semi trucks on our roads or if you're an American who just shares a road with somebody who is properly qualified we've made the roads safer we've seen trucker wages go by 7.5% and that effort was obviously led by our anti fraud task force because somebody these people were engaged and effectively fraudulent driving they were getting these these these diplomas these CDL's through fraudulent means we stopped that we're very proud of it and I want to give a special shout out to secretary Sean Duffy at the transportation department for helping us and facilitating that work and it goes into our broader effort which is we're trying to make sure that you're not going to be able to do that

we're trying to make sure that your tax dollars and basic and social trust is protected by your government whether it's a guy who gets a commercial driver's license to drive on the road or whether it's a person applying for Medicaid or Medicare benefits the people who get these things should be legally entitled and should qualify for too long we had a government that basically just gave out your money the American taxpayers money to people who didn't qualify for it we've put a stop to that having found I think north of 200 billion dollars in fraud or to keep of course working on that in the months and years to come. The second thing I want to talk about a little bit is the Venezuela oil deal which I know some of you will have questions on but I think it's just an amazing testament to what a smart foreign policy could look like and how it feeds back in to good outcomes for the American people so as a lot of you know when I think even some of the the more liberal outlets in here had talked about we had for a very long time the Biden administration draining the strategic trolley reserve purely for the purpose of lowering gas and oil costs there wasn't an international crisis there wasn't you know a

foreign nation that was trying to disrupt world energy markets there was just an administration that was trying to juice gas prices for the midterms and what that meant is for Americans our strategic petroleum reserve under the administration got extraordinarily low well now we're using the of course the successful Venezuela operation and some of the the friendships and some of the relationships that developed in the wake of that operation to create what is effectively a new 65 billion barrel of oil reserves no friendship United States of America and the way that that's going to work is that private companies American companies can go in there generate a lot of oil revenue obviously that's going to mean world oil markets get only more supply that will lower cost for Americans that means a lot of revenue is going to go to the people of Venezuela but also thanks to the deal struck by Marco and Pete Hegseth and others in the administration it actually sets us up to where the American people will directly receive some of the royalties as well we're going to get into this in a little bit but be clear Venezuela didn't do anything because we have a friendship they do things because they didn't want to be thrown into a jail for a year as well they didn't want to end up like

Maduro just so we understand each other keep it here it's Tony cats today politics could be up to it well be a beat Peter it's almost it's almost Labor Day Labor Day is traditionally the real kickoff for campaign season midterm voters are looking for somebody to blame for high prices on things like gas energy why shouldn't they blame Republicans well I'd say a few things first of all if you look at how in dimmic inflation became during the Biden administration and this is not to cast blame because I don't really care who's to blame for it I care about how to fix it and that's what we've been working to do so inflation under the last oh he's going to get yelled at I have about 9.5% he is going to get yelled at because moving the blame and trying to say inherited is all the Trump administration has been trying to do it's all they've been trying to do the vice president's doing the White House press briefing me I'm Tony cats the show is Tony cats today they've been trying to make this fine but you had to do that from day one don't do it now it had to be from day one and they didn't so it's a harder message to move but there is a bigger story here and the bigger story is that it got

announced that Fox News has parted ways with Maria Bartoromo who has been there since her days at CNBC 12 plus years at Fox first of all that's going to leave an opening for somebody Fox business great opening now I've got a question and it is the right question is Maria Bartoromo going to be the new White House press secretary immediate thought is she about to be the next press secretary it is absolutely possible I would think it a little not not an overwhelming surprise but that they didn't go with somebody within the infrastructure within the orbit already I think it's a little bit telling I think it should be very telling for a lot of that staff that's already there you might see a lot of people moving out heading over to other campaigns where they can then get themselves a a larger opportunity Maria Bartoromo would be extremely effective as press secretary undoubtedly true

but the idea that it's the statement is short the statement is very very short that she is out as press secretary it's maybe three lines thought I had a copy of it right here like it's it doesn't say much which would lead one to some of the other one to something happens and there's nothing to talk about or something happens and there is effective today Maria Bartoromo is no longer with Fox News media and making the announcement Fox News media said quote we thank Maria for her work over the last 12 and a half years at wish her all the best on their next chapter huh this is Tony Katz today

live from the heartland and the crossroads of America it's Tony Katz today we are all aware that the fraud is everywhere whether we're talking about what happened in Minneapolis or what happened in Los Angeles with hospice the fraud is absolutely everywhere Tony Katz Tony Katz today an absolute pleasure to be with you and it won't go away until we make it go away now we do have a fundamental issue to which we should all agree the people not interested in investigating the fraud are the people okay with the fraud we need to approach it like this that when you see these states any state including your own where there is no interest in rooting out the fraud those are the people who want the fraud who appreciate the fraud who respect the fraud who value the fraud and value the fraudsters you say to me why would they value the fraudsters but they value is not investigating not looking not checking not seeing and not protecting the citizenry because of a fear of that other citizenry that other group a fear of losing the fraud

they're a fear of losing their votes and a fear of what they might do next so it's a fear of losing and then it's a fear of something else no one will admit to the fear of something else when we take a look at Minnesota they we know that there were elected officials in bureaucrats who looked the other way what did they fear well they feared being called racist and what did they fear they feared what would happen from these groups if they were to say we can't allow this fraud to continue no one will talk about that but the fear is a huge part of it that fear of the physical and then the fear being excommunicated from the party I mean that's just the story that's the situation we should also be clear that this fraud is happening in other places including where you live red state or blue state the fraud is happening everywhere we should not assume by any street that's the threat that any state is immune right here in Indiana or anywhere else across the country is immune from the fraud how are we going about it what is it that the federal government can do our dollars getting cut off

and we still have to ask ourselves are we getting actual care where it needs to be not the conversation of care but actual care Dr. Memehnaz joins me right now of course you know him as the administrator for Medicare and Medicaid services and I know you've got some announcements that are coming up sir I appreciate you taking the time before we get to the announcements which involve what's going on in the rural communities let's discuss what's going on in the fraud where where are we on this in your approach to it and cutting it out we are doing much better and for one big reason it's one of the same reason that we could within several months drop the number of illegal immigrants coming across the border by 90 percent it wasn't we needed to build a bigger wall or we need a congressional issues addressed it was because the president of the United States told everybody we were going to do it it's where the focus is that's where the energy goes

and it's where it flows and so in the fraud area when the president announced the S万 you need it and we need it all of government approach we want to treasure Riding down forensic accounting so that if my agency in Medicare Medicaid do you pledge clues they can tell me were the bad guys are hiding the money overseas for Todd Blanch the awarded justice pursues every lead not just guns and drugs but actually the fraud way is really really hurt our country is크�l and healthcare because it's a white-collar fraud These criminals have come in from other areas because during COVID we taught them that you get away with robbing the American people using our treasuries of piggy bank. And so we are all in now. I got the big news. 42 billion dollars. We have. Over the last year from leaving our building. Those are the kinds of numbers the American people need to hear because the put it in the context of how much it's going to cost you. If we can take the fraud out of Medicare, we can double the life expectancy of the Medicare trust fund. So all those folks who work in your tails off just trying to be able to make ends meet and they're just hoping the taxes are paying the Medicare.

Resulting them having a safety net when they're retiring at 65. I got news for you. We're going to double life expectancy when we get this fraud out and we are doing just that. When we take a look at it, I mean the lists are. It's crazy long Los Angeles hospice issues New York senior daycare issues. The funding of deferrals you announced over a billion dollars in Medicaid funding to Minnesota and California being paused. Have have the pauses led to exposing of the fraud or have the pauses led to these fraudsters saying well they're not going to give me the money anymore. We won't even try again. You know what you just asked the brightest question I could imagine and I had not been asked that question and you're right. That's the main reason we do the more atoriums the reason we take these actions. We want to scare away the criminals. We know they're not going to disappear. These grifters went from drugs to gambling to crypto. They just find the latest fact there.

And when we do a more torrent like we did on durable medical equipment, which is a wheelchair's capters those things we have twice as many as those outfits in South Florida. Then McDonald's run by the green government when we put a more atorian we trade the billion and a half dollars out of that sector a the criminals decided that's not a good place for me to be. I'm going to go somewhere else and grift. If you mentioned California we have one third of all the hospices taking care of people as they pass into the other world. One third of all the hospices in all countries are in Los Angeles not California LA. How many people are dying there. So we shut down about half of these settings and no one's complaining. They know we caught them. They just run off and try to go and by the way they're opening. The hospices in Nevada and Arizona and Texas. So that's where you made a national moratorium now so they can't run to the next state and get away with it. Those are kinds of broad actions that the vice president has had the White House and they brought task force and been able to get us to do to pass throughout the entire nation.

And these actions work because it's in a very clear signal a shot across the bow. If you want to rob the American people don't do it in healthcare. Go find some of your still from the IRS. You know go after so security benefits but do not walk into my building because it is a new sheriff in town. I think you're going to catch heat from saying go after the IRS. I'll let Scott. That's going to go at you on that talking to Dr. Mammoth as administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services you brought up. The right point and the question that people are asking once you get over the idea or are able to digest the idea of all this fraud which is are these states Minnesota California my beloved Indiana any state are the states engaged in complicity. With the fraud. I feared that that is happening and I'll tell you why and just put yourself in the position of a governor like the governor of California or New York is fraud really a flaw or is it a feature of this system.

Let me explain we have the most common job now in both those states is it personal care service attendant where your kids carry the groceries upstairs for you and get paid for it. Now if you're the governor and those kids are unemployed you got to pay them benefits if you can get them on the Medicaid payroll for the federal government in New York they call it meditating it you literally get these people off your problem off your dime onto the federal payroll and now you're collecting taxes from the money that he paid and here's where this jobs program causes an even bigger issue the union get involved and they are unionizing California in New York. So now all of a sudden federal dollars are going to union coffers where they then pass it back to political action committees and they fund their candidates for gender be from one party and that is political patronage. So if you're a governor you might think this is a pretty good idea which is why I think some states were so interested in clamping down and even with our deferrals of money you pointed out not billions of dollars not being paid because we can't justify that they bills are correct even now we're still struggling to get some of these states to cooperate.

But I think this across the board is understanding that governors have a responsibility now you have to have a kick ass governor in Indiana I'm actually in Indiana today with the announcements we'll get to in a second and I went to visit my brown year ago and he appreciates that there's a major problem in Indiana with autism care which I'm sure you've covered and this is a problem because most autism in America is now private equity owned and they know how to gain the system. It's not illegal. They're taking advantage of the system and trying to do as much as they can with the therapies that they think they can defend and they charge a lot of money for these therapies and they provide more hours than probably the kids could possibly use. So it's generated in Indiana a massive problem with what's called a B.A. therapy which is the autism therapy so we're cracking down on that and say that Indiana say oh my gosh I didn't realize it we're all over it now because they don't want to spend tax dollars because Indiana has to pay in as well as the federal government. You'd rather spend your money on better educational programs. Talking to Dr. Mement Oz he is the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services and just to the point of fraud or feature

it's something we've discussed many times on the show when you elect bad people when you elect people who don't view the United States as many of us do you realize that the socialism is not a bug it is a feature and the bad things that come about from it is indeed a feature but let's move into this announcement that you're making and yes we have seen fraud with autism and autism centers here in the state of Indiana you've got the notification that money is coming to the state of Indiana and coming to rural areas through something called the R.H.T.P the rural health transformation program. Now you've got Indiana in your sites for today but this is something expanding everywhere is this about providing actual care or is this about providing the ability to find the care wherever it may be are you going to the people or are you helping the people come to where the care is. It's both and it depends on what the state needs Alaska has very different needs than Indiana and so you we want the governors to have the money and to use it with their teams to figure out the best way of improving the quality care let's get the bigger issue rural America has a life expectancy that's almost three years shorter than urban America your zip coach are not to dictate your destiny we all deserve to get access to care and so the president and Congress decide to put $50 billion into rural health care.

To give it to governors that's $50 billion over five years so every state like they in the end it competed for the money Indiana did very well you're getting $207 million a year for the next five years 120 million of that today ships out with Governor Braun saying where it's going to go so we gave the money after the high quality grant application of Indiana and at the New Year now Indiana is being able to pass it out all the money is going to be out by October. You're spending money on the two million folks in Indiana out of the seven million total living in rural parts of the state and these are very clever ways of allocated money telemedicine getting big hospitals who were closely with small clinics making sure that if folks need to have access to care you can focus on their issues and get them to the highest quality doctors even either in person bring them there or you meet them where they are often in pharmacies for example. There's also very thoughtful ways that we can help with obstetrics and pediatric care which are two areas where we're really concerned in Indiana so the state decided how to allocate the money but to get them high level we're putting $200 plus million a year in the Indiana every year for five years you don't put that kind of money 50% more than we've ever spent in Indiana for Medicaid by just hoping it works you don't just pay bills of that money you transform the system.

Now I want to see better results but this is where we get into the argument where people will talk about we need the Bernie Sanders of the world right we need free healthcare we need universal healthcare well there's a big difference between claiming healthcare and actual care so the question on this is we're now putting this money in this this larger amount of money where does one see the result of the care how does it practically get applied. So I'll give you very concrete examples in Indiana there's not going to be a statewide 24 seven medical operations coordination program if you have an emergency so it's going to be very quick way in fact if you need local resources from now on you can use the Indiana program it already exists you dial 211 and they will connect local residents rule residents to local resources so they can find out what's actually near them and available to them and when we have gaps Indiana is telling the bigger institutions to adopt these smaller clinics to help them get better at taking care of kids and children etc and there's about 450 rural healthcare facilities in the state they're all being connected now to the information system because what ends up happening is the big hospitals do better because they have high quality information technology newest devices the best ideas for cancer care etc that wisdom should pass freely seamlessly to the smaller clinics you shouldn't have to travel the Indianapolis to get you know basic care for a metabolic problem you don't have to do that.

When you do that you also help the local institutions to be viable so you don't have hospitals closed down because they can't make ends meet by getting all this together and think about purchasing if you buy your stuff on your own with a small little clinic you pay a lot if you buy your your medications as part of a large consort with all the hospitals in the Indiana you get through purchasing pricing these kinds of things let the dollar stretch further and then you can measure outcomes do we change the staff I just gave you rural folks in America in the end in particular live the same duration of joyful life so they can swap their kids down the aisle as folks in urban America that means success. I'm sure Mementaugh is the administrator for Medicare Medicaid services I appreciate you taking the time to be with us answering the questions being a part of what we do over here I spoke into him on the morning show wanted to bring this to you right here right now here the answers directly from the guy we'll get him here and we'll go in depth even more in the future find everything I do at Tony cats calm keep it right here everybody this is Tony cats today.

So what's the update on Iran there's no real update on Iran except that the talk has grown. I mean you haven't heard Israel on this subject in a while and now all of a sudden it's the defense minister Israel cats no relation I mean I guess somewhere there could be a relation but none that I know of he's saying that Israel would return Iran to the stone age if it attacks. What what are we doing why even say the words is anybody you need to to hear that you'll note that Iran has done everything but attack Israel. One wonders whether that's the thing they're gearing up for when they believe all is lost because these economic sanctions are indeed working Tony cats Tony cats today thanks guys for being here good to be with you love having this opportunity. And Iranian attack on the state of Israel would free Israel from any existing limitations on attacking Iran we would cripple all the Rand's national military to

billion infrastructure including energy infrastructure and we would send Iran back to the stone age and darkness yeah we know I don't even know why you feel like you'd have to wait. I mean this is the equivalent of saying hit me go on hit me all man just take a swing at me I'd love it if you take a swing at me that's the dumbest start of a fight in the history mankind. And you see that some guys all the time what do you do about it what you do swing at me swing I dare you I dare you to swing at me what in the world you want to swing it to do prepare. Be ready for it to go to the end for be ready for it to be bloody be ready for yourself to get hurt someone's taunting you and going to swing at them that is a beta male cocc loser of the highest order you want to swing it a guy you don't have to wait for permission boom swing go. The goding gone gone swing me try me what you do you know swing me go swing me I wish you're saying I would love it if you would swing at me like they need permission bunch of cowards someone's causing you a problem you feel you got

a knock them out what are you waiting for them to do something they've already done the thing that has got you in the place where you want to knock them out just knock them out you're all tough you're all man can Israel take the Iranians out of the way you're all unquestionably in my view especially now considering everything that Israel in the United States just did to a round of course it's easier now don't sit there and brag about it and you'll note that Iran has not done anything with Israel because they don't want the smoke so that's why they hit Bakrane and Kuwait and all these other places by the way they did hit Kuwait and Bakrane just the other night and that's why these nations like forget Iran were so much better off without them we don't necessarily like the Israelis but we'll do some trade with them you bet anything is better than these Iranian losers these Islamist losers and they are Islamist losers and they should be called Islamist losers every single day but now the threat stuff is just dumb but I do note that it's different Israel hasn't said a word in months

except to say no we don't like this Gaza plan no we don't like that plan right they said that twice which Trump had to know it was coming a legend conversations between Trump and Netanyahu where Trump's like dude you just got to calm down Netanyahu has his own political issues by the way I'm the guy who said he'll be gone once this war is over that he is still there unbelievable to me unbelievable to me but I I that you're hearing this this now it almost makes me think that they know something is up they know that there's a shift within the regime they know that there's beyond cracks irreparable cracks between the IRGC and the so-called leadership and they know that something's coming and this is all just a gearing up this is about getting everybody set now I don't think that often requires some kind of ridiculous statement as you get from the defense minister of Israel Israel cats that's his name no relation but all this talk makes me think something's coming keep it here this is Tony cats today

I was watching a clip of our friend Noah Rothman of National Review who we have on the show often I was watching a clip of him on that Abby Phillips show on CNN I won't tell him I won't tell you the actual text of the text I sent him but if I was to surmise it for you I said to him you're out of your brain Tony cats Tony cats today good to be with you but what I what I liked was his overarching point and it's something that I've said here we are so far ahead so far ahead of where everybody else is on so many topics because we are more honest than everybody else on the topics

and when it comes to the influencer class the answer is the influencers bad for us the influencer is full of crap totally totally full of it and so he's on Abby Phillips show and there's these just angry bitter leftists yelling and screaming and there's this one woman her name is what is it Lima Gowin is that her name and there's this great story that she's on there this was like two days ago she is on the show and she is screaming and yelling and there's this woman on the political right this this was her name is Brianna Lyman and Lima Gowin this leftist is yelling at her screaming at her this is this is actually quite incredible temporary does mean temporary so eventually this individual may have been ordered to be removed and I think it's kind of insulting that we're talking about this immigrant instead of Brianna Connolly from Massachusetts who's strangled last week by a legal alien why is the focus never why is the focus it's also for your daughter wasn't the one strangled

yes a very kind of it to why they're sure we don't get the right legal aliens to be good so all that cross talk but here's Lima Gowin she doesn't want to talk about how illegal immigrants have killed Americans oh my gosh again it's so exhausting so Brianna Lyman rightly takes her to task and there comes a moment where where this Lima Gowin is screaming and yelling is chanting at Brianna Lyman and Brianna Lyman looks at her and goes you should smile more it's such a it's such a devastating line but the the show has become the leftist say anything even when you agree with them it's not enough and then if you disagree with them well that's because you support a bigotry that's because you're racist that's because you're a misogynist and then they don't let you speak at all and no I had made the point that these influencers the lower loom are types this this is bad for all of us we're not getting anything from these people

which is which is true this was true when Pam Bondi was handing the so-called influencers binders regarding the Epstein files there was nothing there this was true when Joe Biden was having the influencers in the White House to create videos and and oh look at the busy day of the White House press secretary you know the guy who is acting all feminine with the giant nails and answering the phone like I'm supposed to care who this loser is you're trying to sell me on the idea that this trans nonsense is a feminine nonsense is somehow good for manhood it's never been good for manhood it's terrible for manhood men should be men when we go to this Abby Phillips show by the way before I get yelled at men should be men is exactly what I said there's nothing wrong with a man being gay there's something wrong with the performance art there's the difference I will debate anybody on this but this Abby Phillips show it's not built for a conversation it's built for how do we attack the conservative today how do we avoid the larger scale conversations and Abby Phillips job is to make sure that the larger scale conversation is avoided

it's it's always about hey I know what the leftist said was loud but you have to understand that we have to agree with what the leftist said it's not it's not worthy no part of it is worthy at all in any way I I never want to be someone who says you shouldn't go on the show I believe in going on the show I go on on shows and there was a while in early in my career I didn't I did MSNBC all the time all the time Contessa Brewer I owe that woman a great deal a great she was unbelievably kind to me we did not agree we had back in for us I did very well every now and again she got me good but I didn't hate her and she didn't hate me and and there were like there were real conversations and and real engagement I wish I'd been I wish it had been now because I'd be better at I would know how to work it better it's like when I'm on Newsmax and I have the opportunity to go up with Dennis Cousinich right now Dennis Cousinich is a real leftist is a nay communist right and two years

but he's he's old school in the way he engages and I'm not trying to interrupt him and he's not trying to interrupt me we may be like whoa whoa now right respectfully but it is respectful and now I'm not a fan of he said she said television or radio I'm not a fan of the left right thing but I at least like being able to engage with him there is no engaging with Abby Philip it it there's just no engaging in this way this show is is broken and lost and if you're going to allow the engagement well then fine that isn't what happens and so you know I can appreciate the idea that you you go into the den right of CNN invite me what would I really not go that show what's the I swear to you there there's two reasons to do it number one you work there or you're going to work that right

number two because you accept the fact and you understand the fact that you're going to have such great stories to tell like I'd be able to come back here be like I was on Abby Phillips show last night guys and you will not believe this like and tell you the whole story maybe for that but the conversation for the audience without the context that could come is is valueless man it is valueless it is this screaming yelling hateful and the left never once concedes on anything and guys who have like van Jones especially about Abdul al-Sahed they they get vilified they get vilified for doing so you left these are crazy for voting for this Jew-hating America hating big it and first let's talk about the America hating this was some of the unearthed audio of Abdul al-Sahed

the Islamist Senate candidate Democrat in Michigan see contrary to what we're taught that we are the land of opportunity where anyone with a dollar in a dream can make it in fact too few people have that first dollar economic data shows us that if you want to achieve the American dream well you should move to Canada do you know how criminally insane that is it's totally criminally insane of course America is where you build your dreams Canada is not where dreams are built and they're tough for every day but when you are somebody pushing the socialism in the destruction western civilization Canada is already your friend on this but this is not the real story the real story comes from this Abdul al-Sahed engaging in full on cultural appropriation of black America this is a talk that he gave in 2019 and in 2019 speaking in front of the Council of American Islamic relations we're talking about a terrorist front group as as reported on you have the state of Florida designated in the terrorist group

you better to take a pack money then care money every day of the week because a pack money comes from Americans said it meant it you show me why I would have to apologize for it care has got a lot of issues I would never be looking to vote for somebody who's taking care money holy cow now he's speaking there and I'm going to share it with you this is his argument regarding Muslims I've been reading our history Muslims have been in this part of the country since 1527 as the Venico of azador probably a name you've never heard probably the first recorded Muslim to touch ground on what is now these United States of America as the mid-suggest up to 50% of people who were brought here against their will as slaves were Muslims literally built this country

a man by the name of Bilaliyah Fula another name we probably don't know because we are cut off from our history thought in the war of 1812 against British tyranny and in the 1960s when our country forgot what these truths were we had people like Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X who were there to remind us that is our history in this country let me give you the translation of what he's saying hey black America we were slaves before you were slaves and we were here before you were here so therefore this is ours it is just full on cultural appropriation now part of this is the conquest methodology that is utilized by Islam throughout history well here since 1527 or whatever it is here since the 1500s therefore this is our country we were here first we have the claim to the land this is ours which is why whenever they engage in any conquest they immediately built things right

it's so that their way of saying we own this and once they built it they believe they always owned it even if it gets torn down no no that's still ours that's part of their charm hey black America you weren't slaves we were the slaves stealing black history for his own purposes oh that's some duplicitous crap right there that is some brutal cultural appropriation right there and that's what he's doing this is you are witnessing the invention of the fantasy the invention of the story that's all that's happening here this is the left and the Islamist working to engage in a total recreation and they don't care who they destroy in the process or what they appropriate in the process as long as they can gain their victory and have the destruction of western civilization black America they will steal your story

you think they care about you you think Democrats care about you they just pushed you to the side as fast as they can now gay Americans have figured this out gay Americans supported Muslims this and Muslims that and then Muslims got hold of town councils and they banned gay pride flags and the gay people like but we supported you yeah you schmucks don't you know we're not talking about your neighbor we're talking about the Islamist we're talking about what happens in any part of the country or of the globe where Muslims get power then it is dominated by their ideology because it is not a religion it is a political system and since no one ever comes at me on this you know why that is you can rest assured that what I'm saying is correct because it is correct I listen to them I listen to their words I have read their books I have seen that part of the Quran and the Hadith that they quote it is a political system not a religion and since anything is acceptable according to the Quran to get to the goal of the conquest and of the caliphate and of the submission of the non-believer this is allowed who wants to argue that no one can argue that but I will bet you any amount of money if I went on the Abbey Philips show and said that they would argue it those ridiculous emotional leftist women and those absolute bull crap leftist men

would argue that I'm a Islamist foe and I'm a xenophob and I'm a big and I'm a racist and I don't care they don't care how they hurt themselves they don't care how they lose they're joyful and they're losing and do you think the message will get out do you think the honesty of what it is that they're saying will get out do you think that the conversation I just had I'd be able to have an Abbey Philips show and someone could disagree with me but maybe do it in a rational way all hell no and that's why I think no it's not this mind but all right if I get asked to go on the show because you never want to not be able to at least try to engage should I go on it you tell me this is Tony cats today glorious dynamist pass away at the age of 92 the author the feminist yeah

someone should ask whether her legacy really holds up now I'm not saying there aren't going to be people who mourn her death they were friends with her and all that jazz I'm saying that all those women mostly on the view who are going to explain what a great and important figure and what she did for women yeah she didn't do anything for women I the the legacy it's not just hers legacy of feminism is going to come up it's going to be a large scale discussion and I think that we should honestly discuss the legacy of feminism and what it is done to women and we should also take a look at what it is done to men because it has not wait for it being good it has not done men well in the slightest the feminists and the feminizing of so many parts of society has not made us better or stronger or happier it has made us angrier and weaker

this is not an attack on women this is it is a noticing of what feminism has robbed I don't think we should be happy with that I think we should work to stop that and I would like to start working on that right now that's okay find everything at TonyCats.com tomorrow everyone take care
