The 9-11 families do not want Zohran Mamdani and Zohran Mamdani anywhere near the 25th anniversary of September 11. And they are right. And Zohran Mamdani should stay away. And if anybody wants to call it Islamophobia, I stand with the families of September 11th. Don't give a damn if you like it or not. Scream Islamophobia from now until the cows come home. Screw off. God, are you awful? Garbage statements, ridiculous talking points. Zohran Mamdani has his own squares to circle about his hatred of the nation that took him in, and he claims to be a proud citizen of. The issue is him. Not these 9-11 families. No, no, no, no, no. Tony Katz. 93 WIBC. Good morning. Good to be here. Good to be with you. This was Zohran Mamdani. Just three years ago. This is him, in his own words, the mayor of New York, three years ago. I was somebody who began my journey in organizing and in politics by co-founding my school's first students for justice in Palestine. The struggle for Palestinian liberation was at the core of my politics and continues to be. And so I struggled to find a home in New York City that could bring that politics in a sense of coherence with the politics I felt around the future of New York City. And here was this organization that endorsed BDS. He found his home in the Democratic Socialists of America. No, you're not welcome. You have taken a side. This is the core of your politics. Why would I believe that's not the core of your politics today? You're telling me, Tony, these things aren't connected. That's bin Laden. That's Al-Qaeda. That's this. That's that. That's the other. No, no, no, no. You don't understand. Here's what we understand. You're not welcome. They've made themselves clear. And Imam Dani is still going to attend. They should all leave and go somewhere else and do their memorial. Theirs will matter. You want to get offended. You want to get upset. Listen to the reality. No one cares if the Islamist or the Islamist adjacent is upset. We don't care if you're upset. What you want is awful. that leftists vote for you is because leftists aren't bright. They vote for the worst things. They've been taught to hate the country, and now we're dealing with that reality of what we have allowed to happen to academia. We thought that going at them, no matter what the country went at them, that would solve the problem. We never allowed ourselves to think about what happened when they come into the country. The absolute abuse that has taken place via academia. And if college presidents were worth their salt, then includes you, Mitch Daniels, and you Pam Witton and you, Jeffrey Mears, Merns, you would get rid of these professors today. You're part of the problem. National championships don't mean anything if you don't have a country. Just a reminder. I got nothing against Coach Signetti. I am saying that his efforts are meaningless if we don't have a country.

What does it matter if you're bringing in all this alumni dollars for a university that might allow these kind of professors of these kinds of teachings? Am I, am I? Is this upsetting to the IU faithful? Because if it is, the IU faithful need to grow up. But this is also true of Purdue and also true of Ball State and also true of Marion and also true of name your university in Indiana or around the country. Zohran Mamdani, we see you. We see what you support. We see where you go. You speak at mosques where they talk about the destruction of America. You're a bigot. We see you. And nobody wants you around. No one. I'm not going to tell you not to show. It's not like you're going to listen to me anyway. But I want to make sure I'm on the record. I'm on the side of 9-11 families and who gives a damn whether Zohran Mamdani or this group or that group likes it. Screw him. Scream Islamophobia a little bit more. Let's see if it matters. His words, I wouldn't let that guy anywhere near my family. Never mind these families who went through hell and 25 years later still do. Stay home, Zohran Mamdani. Maybe that's a place where people actually like you. Tony Katz 93 WIBC, good morning. What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart.

What we saw in the release of the records, which I'm afraid, I think, in the media or legacy media, there was kind of a willful blindness. They didn't want to look at the records. All you had to do was spend a couple of hours. I found these records, which are talking about blackmail by China. It was for President Biden's daily brief. I can conclude, I think, that it was probably about targeting his family. When that kind of information is not received... reaching a decision maker. Ultimately, the United States and the American people are the losers. Right. And I think that's what people need to be focusing on. It's dangerous as well. Yeah, exactly. Because they're not getting into it. So this is one. That was Catherine Herridge. There over there on News Nation discussing the possibility that the Biden family was getting blackmailed by China and our media ignored it. Now.

Let me say two things. First, hello, Tony Katz, 93 WIBC. Good morning. Great to be with you. Live streaming on YouTube. Just look for WIBC and subscribe. We are there. Thanks to everybody in the chat room for hanging out. Love that you are a part of the show. Really appreciate it. I have no idea. But it wouldn't surprise me. Would it surprise anybody that the communist Chinese would go about doing this? Every day is a good day to be reminded that the communist Chinese can't be trusted. They are not people we can associate with. And certain things can't be allowed. President Trump does this in a very, very, very weird way. So we start with this story about Mercedes. where there is now U.S. law or they're working on a measure that would bar the sale of connected vehicles in the U.S. by companies with more than a 15% ownership by Chinese entities. Mercedes-Benz has a 20% ownership by China. So the legislation comes from Elissa Slotkin out of Michigan and Moreno out of Ohio, Democrat and Republican. I'm not a Elissa Slotkin fan. We codify and expand restrictions established under the Biden administration, arguing that it, quote, closes the door on Chinese origin vehicles, software, and key components at every stage from production, importation to sale so that data gathered on U.S. roads cannot be funneled back to the Chinese government. Now, as a matter of just the basics, without having read the actual legislation, because I haven't read the actual legislation as a concept. I have zero issue with this whatsoever. I don't even know why we would allow 15%. Zero percent Chinese investment is the answer. It's the only answer. There is no other answer. Zero percent Chinese ownership. And just like I say about the people who want to scream Islamophobia, you could scream anything you want, anti-Chinese this, anti-Chinese that. I'm anti-communists. All communists suck. All communism is evil. All communism is dangerous. And all communism needs to be thwarted and destroyed. I don't give these people an edge on anything. No, you can't own land in the United States. No, you can't own businesses in the United States. No, you're not allowed to surveil anybody in the United States. And nothing with Chinese tech can be allowed in the United States because all of it is utilized to hurt Americans and America's few. The answer is no. Don't care if you're happy. Kiss off. Was that clear? Did I say that with any level of clarity? I was right. Okay. Good. Just making sure. Just making sure. As a matter of concept, I agree with this legislation. I argue it doesn't go far enough. That's the story. It does not go far enough. But I like seeing that we've got some bipartisanship on this. You cannot trust communists and you cannot trust Islamists. End of list. Now, I will have people tell me that my commentaries are very anti-Muslim. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I argue two things. First of all, Islam is not a religion. It is a political system.

All you have to do is read. All you have to do is witness. All you have to do is listen. I have got imams who say that. I have said nothing wrong. I have said nothing rude. I have said nothing bigoted. I have also stated on this show that it is Islam that needs a reformation. And Muslims need to bring this about. And they have not. We live in Central Indiana. There are Muslims who live in Central Indiana. Okay. The question is to you. Where's your reformation? Where is your standing up to say, we don't do this here? Where is your break amongst your own people? Believers, however you want to describe it, not said in a negative way, said in an understanding we're talking about the same group way, about this is wrong and that is wrong and that attack is wrong and this statement is wrong and that treatment is wrong. Where is it? I can get it from Jews. I can get it from Christians. I cannot get it from Muslims. And when someone who is Muslim does say it, they're called a heretic. I on here, see Ali needs 24-7 protection. Her life is in danger at every moment. We can point to a lot of people who have this issue.

Be afraid to say that there's an issue here? Absolutely not. Be afraid to say there's an issue with communists? Absolutely not. Be afraid to say that there's an issue in Dearborn? Absolutely not. To be afraid to say there's an issue in Minneapolis. With Somali nationals, absolutely not. Is every Somali national guilty of some crime? Absolutely not. But we do have the story that Ilhan Omar's sister is linked to some of the fraud in Minnesota. She used the address of a woman who is business partners with one of these people with feeding our future. They're the ones who were screwing Minnesota out of tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars. It's the largest public theft in Minnesota history. Which, of course, Democrats allowed to happen because they didn't want to stop anything for fear they'd be called a racist. Now we learn that Ilhan Omar's sister is connected through an address. Did Ilhan Omar get any money from this group? Is this? And after the closing of the quality leering center and all those places, is this why we saw Ilhan Omar's income drop? When she put in those amended returns and disclosures, I should say, saying, oh, she didn't make $30 million. She only made this. It was all a mistake. Oops. It wasn't an oops. You're lying to us, and we know it. And we know it. And yes, I'm one of the people who absolutely believes because no proof has been given otherwise that she absolutely did on paper marry a relative, a brother in order to allow them to stay in the country. Absolutely. I'm a buyer into that and you can call me conspiratorial if you want. Fine. But everything else is data. Everything else is data. Who was connected to what? What was Ilhan Omar's sister connected to and was Ilhan Omar connected in any way? That's the question. Man, an investigation would really be great. And if people are found to be in connection, how about some charges and how about someone go to jail? Could we just see that happen in America just once? Be amazing. What is Toyota affordability?

So we have got Dow futures up 44. NASDAQ futures down 206. I guess not everybody is thrilled about negotiations going on with Iran. After all, the oil's just free flowing. It is not.

Tony Katz 93 WIBC. Good morning. Good to be with you. Well, they really wanted us to stop firing at them. So we did and now we're negotiating. But if we don't like the negotiations, we're going to hit them three times as hard. We've heard all this before. It doesn't make President Trump look good in the slightest. Oil prices, $81 and 37 cents a barrel on the West Texas crew. The Brent crude at $86.85 cents, certainly down from 100. Certainly still above 80. The 10-year treasury at 4.626. Gold spot price, $4,028 an ounce. The silver is at $57.19 an ounce Bitcoin at 63,358. Boeing posts a wider loss than expected. Oh, because of Air Force One? Taking a $280 million loss on the long delayed program for two new Air Force One aircraft. Someone explains me what's happening here. They take the Qatari Boeing. That's going to be Air Force One. And we don't have the proper opportunities on that plane for defense. We don't have the proper materials on board to be able to deal with any level of attack. Then we have a program to build more planes that we utilize as Air Force One, because any plane the president is on is Air Force One. And now we're further delayed and they're taking even more losses. Is this? An incapability for a Boeing? Is this just the realization that costs keep going up and the demands keep going up and there's just, there's no way to get things done on time, at least in the time frame they promised? Something going on here? That we can fix? Because it seems solely that Boeing is incompetent. That's what it looks like at all times. I don't like that. But that's indeed what it looks like. That Boeing is just incapable. Then there's a story about SpaceX. And so a full disclosure, I do not own SpaceX stock. SpaceX is at $113 a share. It is below where it opened when it launched just, was it less than a month ago? at um it opened at 135 it closed yesterday at 113 13 the pre-market has it at 109 now full disclosure i do not own any of it but i did say to my people that's right tony's got people what's it to you uh that i would be in at 110 i'm a believer And you would look at 110 and say it's certainly better than the open of 135. There's an upside here. It's not like the whole thing's going to go away. Oh, it could drop below 100. I have absolutely no idea. But there was an interesting story about SpaceX stock purchasing by Congress fueling conflicts. You have Republicans and Democrats.

buying SpaceX within six days of its IPO. This all goes away. If we don't allow any level of trading to take place by members of Congress, it can only happen through their proxies. I can't stop, if you have your investments somewhere, I can't stop those people from doing the investments. But individual stock buys by you, ooh, that's an issue. That's an issue. Also, Senator Todd Young scheduled to be on the midday show. We'll be discussing this. We'll be discussing a RAM. We'll be discussing the SAVE Act with Senator Todd Young. That's supposed to be at 1215. So looking forward to that, having that conversation because he's been pushing hard on the insider trading stuff. For sure. And yes, chat room, that's why I didn't buy on the IPO day. Because it's always a hype. And yes, it could drop even further. Absolutely it could. But there's the idea of chasing it down. I don't know if I'm that guy, right? I did better than if I had bought it there. I think that this is a good price to hit at. Do it. But again, I'm not the guy to listen to her stock advice at all. My point only was, was that I don't have any issue with people buying SpaceX. You can argue that if members are buying anything, that is a problem based on committees and information, so they shouldn't be able to buy individually. That's the story here. And we should be in favor of this. Always good to keep an eye on what members of Congress are doing what it is, that they want to get done where they're buying things and how they're utilizing their information to our disadvantage. Always good. Tony Katz 93 WIBC, good morning. Whoa. Okay.

It's time to play America's favorite game. What the heck is that television theme song? Tony Katz, 93 WIBC. Good morning. Here's how we play our game. Producer Carl selected a television theme song from yesteryear. I have to guess what it is. I'm allowed to utilize the chat room for help. I'm allowed to phone a friend. No, it is not the monkeys. Although it sounds like that. Some people think, oh, that's also possible right there, M Dogg. It does sound like them, also sounds like the Beatles, but also sounds like the monkeys. You know what? Let me phone a friend. There it is. Matt Bear, what is the television theme song? Pimp my ride. Good, good, good, good work. I think the chat room is right, and I think that producer Carl was trying to get sneaky. This is the closing theme for the monkeys. True or false? There it is. Well, I can't use the opening music because it's obvious. It's obvious. It is obvious right there. It is the monkeys and it was their closing theme. Well done. Well done. Unrelated, if anybody can recommend me a good rabbit repellent. I'd appreciate it. I do not know what's going on. I do not know what's happening. There have always been rabbits in the backyard. Mostly they've been fine. Okay, they'll eat something here and they'll eat something there. They have been devastating this year. And I've had enough. I thought you didn't have a garden. I don't have a, I have plants like the hostas. They're gone. And other plants gone. I know a couple people. You have to spray a deer repellent on your flowers. Yes. So I've heard this, but I want to know which one. And then what about those like the sonic ones, right? And they work on solar power. Do any of those work? Somebody had recommended in the chat room a coyote. Coyote. I thought that was a terrible idea. So if anybody has got a good one, a good idea for one, I'm all in. It's just, I've had enough. And mostly, and I am not a man who complains. I have a glorious life and my wife is perfect. Truly, truly, I'm a lucky man. I just don't want to hear it anymore. I don't want to hear about, look what the rabbits are doing. How do I stop? I just want to stop them. I want this done. And my choices are to ask you, or flamethrower. These are my options. I'm not getting a dog. I'm not getting a pet. I don't want anything that I have to walk or clean up behind. No thank you. Yeah, but if you have a cat, it goes outside. I, hey, Carl, I have enough in my life. I want less in my life. And I don't want a subtraction by addition. I don't want less rabbits by now having a cat. No. No. The neighbor has a cat. That's enough. And that cat is not doing enough to keep the rabbits out of my yard. So clearly, your whole cat strategy doesn't work. Because now it has to be cats, plural. And all of a sudden, I'm that guy who has a lot of cats. No. I just want it to be done.

Yes, you can grow certain things that have odor to them. Mint and there's a couple other things that you can do, lavenders, things like that. That will help. I agree. We haven't gotten to planting those things yet. Oh, I take that back. We did plant some of them. The rabbits ate them. It's been rough. These are my struggles. And then you look at things online and there's something here called rabbit scram. I'm not, I'm not buying anything that has the word scram in it. It just can't happen. On Tony Katz today at noon, we will discuss the next steps regarding Iran, which are, there are no next steps regarding Iran. We're just doing what we do. But Benjamin Netanyahu is coming. Trump's saying to Benjamin Netanyahu, hey, you may not want me to sell F-35s to... to Turkey, but I'm going to sell F-35s whoever I want to sell them to. And he's correct with the response to any world leaders saying you can't do this or you shouldn't do that. I'll do what I want to do. That doesn't mean we should also be selling F-35s to Turkey. But the audio regarding Joe Biden and this book he wrote in 2017 has already impaired mental state and the sharing of classified information. Joe Biden, everybody around him needs to be brought up on charges. And Anthony Fauci, who will absolutely be appearing, testifying as he has been subpoenaed by Rand Paul. Rand Paul has done amazing, amazing work. Incredible work. in showing what kind of human being Anthony Fauci really is. And that is disgusting, a disgusting, repugnant human being who lied about COVID, who lied about saying, I'm not the guy who shut down schools. He absolutely is the guy who shut down schools. He is the guy who suggested it, if not demanded it from... Bill de Blasio demanded it from California and everybody was going to listen to Anthony Fauci because there was no problem in that. That's how you were going to succeed. These are terrible people. Absolutely terrible, terrible people. And we have to ask ourselves what we're going to do about this. And the media that bought in, the media that supported, the media that protected. What do we do about this? Oh, and the activists are after Sophie Cunningham. We said she didn't say anything weird or odd. She said something normal. Boys shouldn't be in girls' sports. The activists are after Sophie Cunningham? Why don't we be after the activist? Who the hell are they? You think boys should be in girls' sports? You think men should play in women's sports? You think a man could be a woman? I'm sorry, that freakiness is not welcome. Those lies, that fraud, that abuse, the idea that you want to mutilate children not welcome in our society. No, no, no, no. You're on the ounce. We don't let you have power and we don't listen to your voice because you need mental help.

You need help. Go get it. No anger. Go get help. But when you want to abuse our children, total anger. You want to now come at. Sophie Cunningham for saying nothing wrong. Screw off. Guys, we got to start getting a lot tougher with this. You can't put up with any of their nonsense. These are bullies who want to bully. They got to fold. I don't care if we're talking about, I don't care what the subject is. The bully can't be in charge. They have to fold. We have to stand strong. I'll get into this on Tony Katz today at noon. I'll catch you then. What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart.
