Let's see the hostages come home and then let's celebrate. Oh, they're already celebrating in Israel. They're already celebrating in Gaza. I can't tell them not to. They're the ones who've been involved in this shelling, in these attacks, in the violence. I have no doubt that many of them want it done. Tony Katz 93, WIBC. Good morning. President Trump, taken to true social. I'm very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first phase of our peace plan. It was interesting in that President Trump was part of a roundtable discussion. I believe it was on Antifa violence, and he's sitting there, and Marco Rubio just flat out interrupts him. It's like Andy Card whispering in the ear. of George Bush when he's at that elementary school regarding September 11th. And Trump sees him, he's in the middle of the things that come on over whispering it to him. They're not smart enough. Pam Bondi speaking, hands him the note. My microphone's broken. They're smart, but they're not smart enough. He's given it a raid. He looks over Marco Rubio and shakes and said, okay. To which Marco Rubio then comes in and whispers in his ear. And that's why we're all working with Treasury with all these different departments to find the criminal conspiracy. Okay. I'm just given... Yeah, I was just given a note by the Secretary of State saying that we're very close to a deal in the Middle East, and they'll get a need me... pretty quickly, so I will take a couple of more questions. Doesn't happen often. Just walk right in and be like, hey, this takes precedence. The president continued on true social. This means all of the hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a strong, durable, and everlasting peace. All parties will be treated fairly. This is a great day for the Arab and Muslim world. Israel and all surrounding nations and the United States of America. And we thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey, who worked with us to make this historic and unprecedented event happen. Blessed are the peacemakers. What could anybody want more than for this to be over and these hostages to be brought home? Fine by me. Let's see it happen. If there's anything that I have learned is that trust in Hamas is very, very ill-fated. It's a bad idea. And I do not have it. I have zero faith at all in Hamas. But man, do I hope this happens? This would be good. Tony Katz, 93 WIBC. Good morning. The military is going to get paid, are they? This is the weirdest shutdown in the history of shutdowns. Tony Katz, I already said my name. I can move on. There's now a bill.

that says, well, I shouldn't say there's a bill, there's a plan, there's an idea, there's a thought, that there will be a bill to pay the military during this shutdown. That's when President Trump, the speaker, Mike Johnson, has said, yeah, we don't have that plan. We're not calling for a vote. What? What? President Trump said, yeah, that will probably happen. We don't have to worry about it yet. That's a long time. You know what, one week is for me, an eternity. One week for me is a long time. We'll take care of it. Our military is always going to be taken care of. Mr. President, you understand that the Democrats have thrown everything they can at this. Republicans have caused to shut down. Republicans are taking away your health care nonsense. It has gotten so bad for them. They've thrown everything at it. They've gotten nowhere that now they are engaging in confrontations with House members in front of the press. They're actively going for aggressive confrontations to try and embarrass members. It's nuts. You've got Senator Mark Kelly confronting members of Congress, including the Speaker of the House. Then you have the fight between Hakeem Jeffries and Republican Representative Mike Lawler. I'll play that for you in the Popcorn moment. It's nuts. Hakeem Jeffries is like, you're embarrassing yourself. Why don't you shut your mouth? And you're like, these people run the country. Oh. No, I always want the military taken care of. But you guys shut it down because you can't figure out how to make a deal. Why would you then remove the things that not having a deal causes? If not having a deal causes no pain, what's the point? You say to me, well, Tony, you talk pretty tough on the military's time.

I'm not the guy who stopped the funding. I'm not the guy who stopped the spending. I didn't do any of this. So why in the world would anybody think that somehow I'm on the wrong side of what is a clear argument? How else does this happen? How else does this get done? If indeed, there's no ramifications of the thing. You could shut down anything. We shut it down. We didn't pass a continuing resolution. We didn't pass a budget. But everything still goes on as normal. No one else thinks that's weird? Okay. No one else thinks that's weird. Just me. Just me. Once again, on the island of rationality. James Comey. Former FBI director, a man who likes long walks in the woods and playing with shells on the beach, he has pled not guilty to lying to Congress, which is funny because he did. You know it, I know it, we all know it. Only somehow will a jury be like, what, he didn't lie. All right, he said he wasn't leaking anything and then he leaked things to the press, but he didn't lie.

Lying to Congress and obstruction are the two charges. Obstruction is much more the catch-all kind of thing. It's the kind of thing that James Comey's FBI would have charged everybody with in order to get a whole bunch of convictions. January 6th is the trial date. Right now, the thought is a three-day trial, which I can sum up for you. Your Honor, he's guilty. Your Honor, no, he's not. I've come to a decision. That's good. There you go. Day one, day two, day three. Did it for you. I don't know how this could go any quicker. We are clearly going to watch a whole bunch of nonsense take place. I don't actually know how this isn't open and shut from his time as FBI director, his time after being FBI director, and his testimony to Congress, where he reiterated because of the question of Ted Cruz, which was very, very interesting. It was, it was Ted Cruz who...

There is no health care crisis. There are Obamacare subsidies that expire at the end of 2025 as voted on in the Inflation Reduction Act by the Democrats, including Senator Mark Kelly. This is a lie, a gross, ugly manipulation of what's happening. But they now want to go confronting members. Oh, look, the speaker came out. Walked right out, shaking hands. of ours. Yeah, reopen the government so we get back to work. I mean, but this is a excuse just keeps on moving. Yeah, no. It's not great if you want representation. No, last week there's 750,000. Wait, I'll address the, you want to answer the question. We're happy that she got elected. She's filling her father's seat. That's fantastic. We have a long tradition here and a process of how we administer the oath to a member. You know, you served here for a while. We're going to do that as soon as we get back to work, but we need the lights turn back on. So we encourage both of you to go open the government. So I am anxious to administer the oath to her. What they're talking about is a congresswoman elect from Arizona. who has not been seated yet, the granddaughter, I believe it is, of Raul Grahalva, who passed away, a socialist, and she's not been seated yet because Congress is not open, because the government has been shut down. That's his argument. And this is what these two Democratic senators have come to the House Speaker about, as opposed to just opening things up. I believe they'll be able to peel the Democrats across because I don't think the Republicans have any reason to fold to these kinds of antics. And this was just one of them. Wait for the popcorn moment at 715. What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart. Right now, your local Toyota dealer has great deals available on some of the most reliable trucks on the market, like the off-road ready to coma, rugged, full-sized tundra, and legendary forerunner, each with the space, tech, and features to handle it all, from the work site to the trails.

Tony Katz, 93 WIBC. Good morning. I am going to get into a crime conversation and just there's opinion and then there's propaganda. There's opinion and then there's narrative.

The Indy Star is just another great example of it this past week with a guy who told me to stop paying attention to him. So I stopped on social media, but when I see something that requires response, I don't worry about the people who are upset with the response. I just simply respond. I will get to that coming up. in just a little bit. On today's show sheet, amongst many other stories, is another dirty Hunter Biden story. And you say to me, how is it possible that he is not completely out of the news? And I'd agree with you. How is this possible? Is this picking on the guy? Is this somehow a desire to be like, hey, how can we engage in a narrative? Biden Family Bad, Biden Family Bad, which they are. You know how many people have reached out to me, talked to me, and made mention of the fact that what the Biden administration did regarding these 10 senators and spying on their phone calls is worse than Watergate? You know how right they are? I mean, this story, you won't see the press cover this story. Because again, we're talking about news. We're talking about narrative. When you talk about Watergate, you talk about the cover-up being worse than the crime. We're talking about Richard Nixon. And we're talking about the break-in. We're talking about some low-level perfunctories who did something absolutely ridiculous. And then those who tried to cover it up. And there is no covering things up. Cover-ups are the downfall. In this situation... The highest levels of leadership said, go after those Republicans. Go listen to their phone calls. Let's see what we can do to get them. And Jack Smith, the special counsel, was doing just that. Now, the left wants to argue, well, really it was just access to call logs. Oh, honey. That's cute. You spied. on members of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives, Mike Kelly in the House, and then nine members of the Senate. And you did this through a special counsel who is an obsessed dude. You did this to play the part of Leverndry Barrier. I never pronounce his name right in his first name. Is it Leverndy or Leverndry? He was the head of the secret police there. He was the guy who said, show me the man, and I'll show you the crime. Which is one of the more frightening terms in world history. I'll figure it out. I'll get him. Ran Stalin's secret police. And that's what Jack Smith was doing at the behest of Joe Biden. Worse than Watergate really and truly applies.

Hunter Biden, it turns out, was trying to help a real estate guy in Romania escape corruption charges. Referred to in the reporting for the Washington Times as a wealthy real estate tycoon, which tycoon is always such a great, great word. So according to the reporting, he sought to leverage money from a Chinese company to purchase a stake in the real estate company of this associate next to the U.S. Embassy in Bucharest. And he was going to make millions. Everything Hunter Biden and the Biden family is associated with is a criminal act. Everything. These are the dirtiest, dirtiest people you can think of. So it turns out hunters in the news because hunters in the news. As for the indie star, well, again, there's opinion and then there's narrative. Oh, you can have this opinion, but it's a bad one. I have got that story coming up. See, Kylin, I'm just running late all over the place today. It's nuts. Matt Bear has got traffic in the WIBC Traffic Center. He's a heck of a guy. Wait till you see how small the shirt is today. In fact, it's not even like far-right groups like the proud boys and oathkeepers, which have had national leaders, unlike Antifa. There is no organized hierarchy to the group. And according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, compared to right-wing extremists, Antifa-linked violence is rare and limited. But that has not stopped Trump from blaming Antifa for just about every act of violence in America since he first got into office. And this is why people don't watch CNN. No part of that comes from a rational mind. And I know this because it's the Communist of Indianapolis, Jesse Brown, who agrees with her, who, oh, we're going to have a little bit of a talk. Tony Katz 93 WIBC, good morning. Good to be with you. This idea that Antifa doesn't exist. This idea that violence from Antifa is so rare. We saw it. In Trump's first term, we see it now. The attacks on ICE agents, who do you think this is? Well, they're not organized. What do you mean they're not organized? We have seen, we have certainly engaged the conversations of money flows. And we have seen that absolutely they are organized. How do you think all the bricks get there? Oh, wait, we don't talk about how things just end up and then all of a sudden there's a pallet of this, that, or the other in places? We don't do that anymore? Okay. All right. I'll take that all back. That never happened. The idea that this group of violent people who claim that they are anti-fascist.

and how they engage is easy to see. Easy to witness, easy to understand what we have seen in Seattle, what we have seen in Portland, what we've seen in Minneapolis. They call themselves anti-fascist that doesn't make it true. And to say that they haven't engaged in violence, if you want to argue based on data that is trustworthy. that this group here on the far right did X, go ahead. I'm not going to stop you from making an argument where you've got the data behind it. But to say, well, because of that, we don't have to pay attention over here. That's a very gross thing to do. This was that meeting they had at the White House yesterday on Antifa. Mr. President, thank you again. Thank you. My name is Jonathan Cho. I am an investigative reporter for Frontlines Turning Point USA, also a senior fellow at Discovery Institute in Seattle. And I cover far-left extremism as well as the homeless drug crisis in America. And I find it oftentimes those worlds intersect. And hot off the press is what I wanted to bring to your attention today. is a report from a capital research center here in DC in conjunction with Discovery Institute. They just put out this study right now. And what it shows is that Antifa is heavily embedded in the homeless and housing nonprofit sector. In many cases, the homeless industrial complex is running cover for Antifa. Now, I don't know how I feel about the term homeless industrial complex. But there are places where money can be filtered and people can be radicalized. Go look into it. Antifa doesn't exist. It's not a thing. It's not violent. They are violent and they show it every day. Which brings us to the communist of Indianapolis, Jesse Brown. I am absolutely an anti-fascist. Who but a fascist would find that to be objectionable? And seen, ladies and gentlemen. If you oppose the anti-fascist, you must be the fascists. Is the classic Marxist wordplay. You think anybody rational should fall for that? I didn't think so. What is Toyota affordability?
