What are we feeling? And fantastic for today. Today is going to be our warmest day of the week in the upper 70s, mostly sunny skies. Winds also pretty calm through the afternoon. Tonight, mostly clear, turning partly cloudy in the early morning hours, low temperatures in the mid-50s. Cold front number one arrives for tomorrow. It's a weak front, dives into our area in the morning. Bring some more cloud cover, but sprinkles likely lingering in northern Indiana. Don't get down to central Indiana. Mostly cloudy skies, temperatures in the lower 70s. Through the next couple days, we start to warm back up Friday in the mid-70s. But the weekend is the one to watch. We'll have a secondary cold front on the way. This could bring a heavy rain and storm chance at some point in the day Saturday into Saturday night. High temperatures to follow Sunday and Monday in the mid-60s. So we've got weak fronts. We've got strong fronts. Or what was the other one? Was it just a basic storm front? I'd say, so the first one tomorrow is a pretty weak one. This weekend, it looks like a stronger storm system on the way. I prefer an eminence front. I'm not the only one who enjoyed that joke? I enjoyed it. Thank you.

I take that one to the bank. Thank you. Producer Kylan didn't even get it. I'm good with that. That's Ryan Moore, Swiss TV meteorologist. Guys, sometimes I'm just here for me. 53 degrees in the American Standard Cooling Weather Center. The time is 608. There's a lot from yesterday that is still having reverberations in the release of the hostages. Out from Hamas captivity returned to their families in Israel. Tony Katz 93 WIBC. Good morning. The deal signed by President Trump and other world leaders. I can't tell you if you're going to have peace. I'll get into that subject. I can also get into how the New York Times referred to it as a hostage exchange. Israel never had hostages. They did have prisoners. Terrorists involved in violent acts against Israelis. But hey, when you're desperate to side with terrorists like the New York Times, you'll say what you say. In anybody who said hostage exchange, they're desperate to side with the terrorists of Hamas. They are desperate. Gross, ugly people. But I will have the Attorney General. He's scheduled to be on the show at 715. That's Todd Rokita, the Attorney General of Indiana. A story that kind of got missed last week was that the Indiana Supreme Court dismissed the latest disciplinary case against him. There have been a fair amount of disciplinary cases against Todd Rokita. I've always wondered if we're just talking about people. not happy with Todd Rokita involved in lawfare. Because I was told this was happening so often. Oh, this was it. Oh, this is going to end it. Oh, this is, if you can't get away from this. Where's the apologies? Where are the apologies? When I think the Attorney General's wrong, I say so. When I think he's right, I say so. When I notice madness. Because we have people in the state of Indiana who are more interested in destruction than growth and more interested in attacks than rationality. He won the election. What's the issue? Am I a fan of the lieutenant governor, Micah Beckwith? No, he told me that he's not a fan of mine. I sleep pretty well. And we were told that there is an AI video of a member of the General Assembly's wife singing Topless. And there were people in Micah Beckwith's office looking at this and laughing. And a woman came forward and said, yes, I saw it. Where's the video? Well, someone just made the video and deleted it. We're never going to find the video. Someone printed a story about a video they never saw. It became a story. It has now been dogging everybody. And no one still has come forward. No one has any copyist. No one has any proof of this. Yes, this woman spoke. I'm not saying no. No, there's no concrete evidence. I'm sorry. Why do I trust Tomlo Chad Bianco again? What I'm asking.

is exactly what is it that we are seeing, what is it that we are enduring, and what is it that we're willing to take. Disagreement about what something means is one thing. I'm asking about the actual thing itself. The people who wish a Todd Rokita done for. What do you? It's not news. It's not even interesting. It's boring. It's something you say at a bar stool. Especially when it gets dismissed, where are you to say up? It got dismissed. Guess I was wrong. And this video? I'll say it again. Indiana deserves better than Micah Beckwith because Micah Beckwith proved that true. But this video thing? Could we get someone out there to do that investigation to see it because there are other investigations happening that deserve cheering? Like what the Indy Star and Mirror Indy just did about Joe Hogsett and Thomas Carl Cook, who we dubbed a creep long before it was fashionable. Oh my gosh. You want to talk about people who knew how to game in the system? This story is unbelievable. You'll find it on my show sheet, and you can find it at the Indy Star and Mirror Indy. It is... It's something else. The exchange of hostages. That's how you know people hate the truth. That story, along with whether or not there's a peace deal possible coming up. Tony Katz, 93 WIBC, good morning. All I'm saying is is that when I see gold at $4,127 an ounce and silver, $51.23 an ounce, I don't like anything in this economy. I'll have more of this on fill up on the news at 835. Be sure to tune in. Tony Katz 93 WIBC. Good morning. Good to be with you. I have no idea if we're going to have peace. None. And I will say to you quite clearly that the idea that we now have peace in the Middle East, come now. Let's not be the people. who pretend that that's true because Trump said it's true. Do you have opportunity? Well, yeah, I guess so. Could I be wrong? Oh, gosh, yes, would I like to be wrong? You better believe it. I would love to be wrong and there's lasting peace and everything is good. The president of Egypt in this meeting that took place after Trump's speech at the Knesset in Israel, This was in Charmel Sheikh. That's the name of the town. In support of the ceasefire and in support of the idea of investment into Gaza, we'll get to that in a second. He stated that this is the last chance for peace in the Middle East. I mean, that's a very definitive statement. The idea that it's this or it's nothing.

somehow diminishing what's happening while the other side engages the idea that what happened in Gaza was a Holocaust. See how they play the word games. This is how they play the word games, like the exchange of hostages conversation. So Steve Bannon says this is a terrible deal for Benjamin Netanyahu. I don't believe that to be true. But one could argue that what Trump is trying to put into play here is a two-state solution. The difference here in what I oppose, and yes, do I believe it's going to work? Not necessarily, but go give it a go, see what happens, is with worldwide investment and, of course, the ending of Hamas and the taking of all of their weaponry. Now you have the thing that I have discussed. 40 years of moving these people out of the hating Israelis, hating America, hating Jews headspace. And that creates opportunity because nobody's going to let you act the fool if their money is on the line. Creating the worldwide investment means more skin in the game means less nonsense will be tolerated. So this is a different conversation. Again, I have no faith in Hamas. You don't have any faith in any of this until you end the Iranian regime that funds these people and will continue to fund them. So, yeah, my faith is minimal. But this is different than two-state solution conversations that have come. So we have Hamas killing innocent people right now. in Gaza and no one's screaming about Hamas being killers from the political left because they don't care, they never cared. You have got the left screaming that this was an exchange of hostages when they're calling prisoners hostages as opposed to hostages that are hostages. So you see the wordplay there to try and diminish what it is that Hamas and the Palestinians who voted for Hamas did. And then you have people on television saying, oh, they were probably treated humanely. Those hostages for two years were treated just fine. Again, diminishing. You want to ask what's wrong with these people? They all have one thing in common. They all support terrorism. And they all support the destruction of anything that is supportive of or constitutes Western civilization. Again and again and again and again you see it. And yet some people. Oh, dangerous people for sure. What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart.

Toyota, let's go places. We're a couple days away from the TK. Tony Katz Thursday Music Moment. I have not done that as the Thursday Music Moment song. I don't think I will be. I don't think I will be, but that's good. That is very, very, very good. So we have got Attorney General Todd Rokita scheduled to be with us at 715. Peter Blanchard from Mirror Indy at 815, this incredible story about corruption and really just abusive system from the abuser Thomas Carl Cook, the allegations about him and women in his office. And still nothing has come from that. Absolutely nothing has come from that. And there's a lot of stories that we haven't gotten to. Did you know that there's a no-kings protest scheduled for this weekend? They're still doing this? This whole no-kings nonsense against the Trump administration. Okay. You have fun with that. You go engage your First Amendment rights. Have fun with that, but if you could, don't kill anybody. That'd be great. If you could, no graffiti and no destruction of property also would be great. I just think that those things are wrong. I thought destruction of property was wrong on January 6th. I thought destruction of property was wrong during all the George Floyd riots. I think it's wrong to try and assassinate presidential candidates. I think it's wrong to assassinate Charlie Kirk. So if we could, don't kill anybody. Thanks, lefties. Oh, and don't block traffic, which will bring us to Jesse Brown. That story coming up in just a little bit. Tony Katz, that's me, by the way. Good to be with you. 93 WIBC. Good morning. So we now have two weird places where people are living and breathing in the idea of fantasy. The first is Trump is an authoritarian. Everything he does is authoritarian. It's nonstop authoritarianism. They found a word and they can't stop going with it, no matter how wrong they are. Tony Katz, 93 WIBC, good morning. Good to be with you. The court makes a decision. Trump follows the court decision, sometimes fights the court decision, and yet we're told authoritarian. We get Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut, where they elect really bad senators. Chris Murphy, Beta Mail, Connecticut, and then Richard Blumenthal lied about his Vietnam service, Connecticut. And you get this. We are not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it. Now, it's not too late. We haven't lost our democracy. But, you know, we sometimes like to think of the first term Donald Trump, you know, the bumbling White House that didn't seem to have any theory of the case from day to day. This is a very different White House, right? Stephen Miller and his gang, they have a plan. They have a plan that they are executing to transition our country from democracy to something fundamentally different.

maybe even autocracy. And that's what I tried to lay out on the floor today. Is that what you tried to do? If I'm asked, what you're trying to lay out is, hey, we haven't done a good enough job engaging in violence against the people we disagree with. So how can I gin up another 100,000, however many people I can to go do the job we need done? As I stated yesterday, I will not be engaging in the conversation of toning down the rhetoric. Because what they say is not what they mean and not what they do. Not with this. Not with this. Not with the idea that Antifa doesn't exist. Can we stop this, please? We really want to do this? They're fully on board. They're fully on board with the idea that Antipa doesn't exist. I take you to the commentary of Jimmy Kimmel. He comes back to his show after lying about what took place with the assassination of Charlie Kirk. He lied. From beginning to end, Jimmy Kimmel lied. And he's trying to say other people mischaracterized him. Well, of course, trying to engage the spin. He's a liar. Then last week on his show, he did this. That's just the Secretary of Homeland Security suggesting we lock up American protesters for life. They have been so bold in making sure we're bringing those individuals to justice. One of the individuals we arrested recently in Portland was the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa. Finally! They got the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa. You understand.

This is an entirely imaginary organization. There is not an Antifa. This is no different than if they announced they rounded up a dozen Decepticons. That is a lie. But lying is part of the game. And again, I go back to my comments from yesterday. If you didn't hear them, that's okay. I'll be digging into this. Why in the world would I ever tone down the rhetoric? That is an expression utilized to try and silence the people you disagree with. What they're saying is they can keep talking like this, but what you're saying, well, you should really know. No, I'm here on the political right. I don't shy away from that. And the political left keeps moving further and further left. And therefore, it recenters the center. And then they say, look how far right he is. Look how far right that Tony counts is. But that is not true. That is not the case. But when you want people just to believe something via emotion and not via actual integrity or intellectual prowess, that's what you say. And you see the people out there who follow that. But the people who listen to the show know exactly where I'm at. The people who want to just do damage and destroy, they make this gross claim. And it's easier to make the gross claim than actually do the work. Antifa doesn't exist. This brings us to Keith Ellison, the Attorney General of Minnesota. So the fact that there is no, I mean, nobody even knows what it is. The first person I ever heard used the word Antifa was Donald J. Trump when he was going on about how there were good people on both sides at Charlottesville. So he lies while engaging a lie. He never called those people fine people. We already know that that's a lie and they keep doing it. In 2018, Keith Ellison, when he was a congressman, took a photo. That photos of him holding what? The Antifa handbook. He's holding it. Antifa, the anti-fascist handbook. He's holding in his hand. It's a little like of an upshot to the camera angles below him. In 2018, that's a photo of him. And in 2025, he's saying nobody knows what Antifa is. These people lie all the time about everything. constantly and consistently to protect the violent acts that take place because the only conclusion that I believe the rational mind can come to is they are fine with the violent acts and they want to see wait for it more of them and then if you ask me to tell, you know, hey, Tony, you really need to tone down the rhetoric. I'm sorry, I'm no. No, because that term is meant to silence you, me, and we while they continue doing what they're doing. No. No, I won't be toning anything down because no one's toning anything down.

I will call Keith Ellison a liar because he is. I'll call Jimmy Kimmel a liar because he is. I'll call Chris Murphy a liar because he is. I will utilize the facts to explain myself and I will persuade more people to be on my side, which is of course what they don't want from you, me or we. So easy to see once you lay it out.
