Tony Katz and the Morning News 1st Hr 7-21-26

We've had some cars run into the bury wall, not paying attention. They were on their phone. Taxing, scrolling. Yeah, that's bad. Most often they be on their phones or they're not paying attention. They can cause a crash. We could stand on the side of the road and watch every other vehicle looking down into their lap as they're passing us. You know what they're looking at. They're looking at their phone. Phones. On their phones, not paying attention. Phones. I'm not a mathematician, but I say probably about 80% of the people who pass me were on their telephones. No call, text, or video is worth putting yourself for a road worker in danger. When driving through construction, Lyuna members ask you for your sake and ours. Slow down, stay off your phone, please. Be aware where we're at, where the cone zones are at. Stay off your phones and buckle up and drive safe. We're not asking for much. This is Brian Short, business manager for the Indiana Labor's District Council. Everyone deserves a safe place to work. Do your part in the cone zone. Slow down, save a life. We're all in this together. A message from Lippers International Union of North America and affiliated locals.

So it's a 50% tariff on Canada over alleged trade discrimination. That and wildfires, yeah. You mean on Sunday the president was saying that this isn't right and these wildfires aren't right? And we need to do something about this? And then on Monday, he's putting on a tariff. You tell me it's just coincidence that he's sitting there in front of Marine 1. And on Sunday, he says this. I mean, you've got to stop these fires from coming in and, you know, poisoning our air. Our air has been poisoned. I have a good relationship with Mark Carney, but, you know, we've got to stop the fires up there. We can help them. We'll help them. But maybe they should pay us some damages or something, or we should do some tariffs. But it was terrible. I mean, you had businesses closing. In particular, Michigan, if you look at Detroit, the Detroit, Michigan here, they had it closed everything. Then it closed car plants and a lot of other things. So I've never remembered this happening. So that was Sunday. And then Monday, it's a tariff over alleged trade discrimination. Well, it's, it's inventive. It's, I'll give it that. Look, if you wanted to go at Canada for the wildfires and for the smoke and for the issues, which are real, not saying no, you can do that. But just do what you say you're going to do. Do it for that reason. Don't, this, this is too cute by half. This will be under the tariff act of 1930, targets certain food products, wearables, synthetic materials, and industrial goods. Officials saying Canada's current trade policies unfairly target vehicle dairy and alcohol experts of the United States. Now, we already know what they have targeted regarding bourbon. Upset with. how the United States trade policies were going and tariffs were going. They actually stopped buying a tremendous amount of bourbon in toto. They did not stop buying all bourbon and not all provinces, right? Stopped provinces. That's what we would call them, right? Yeah. They did not stop buying altogether. They did stop in certain areas, not in all areas. Yes, 10 provinces, three territories in Canada. It's not the reason you see the bourbon slowdown in the United States in full. A lot of people want to say this is all Trump's fault because of the tariffs on Canada. That isn't the case. And I'm not an expert, but oh, wait, I'm not bad at this stuff. Check out Eat, Drink Smoke, heard coast to coast on weekends, the podcast. Go to eatdrinksmokshow.com. It is lifestyle changes in the United States and around the globe. It is a slowdown from things like GLP1s. It is a change in people's free time.

Because they don't have it like they used to. And during COVID, everybody was home. Nobody was going to be driving. They wanted to try things. They tried bourbon. And they tried all of the bourbon. Those days are over. It's no longer that big boom. But this is very transparent, Mr. President. Very transparent. This is about smoke. The question before us is, if you're going to collect tariff money because of the smoke, because they're poisoning our air, your word's not mine, how does that money get the people who might be affected by the smoke in the air? I'm not even so bothered that you're saying a candidate, you have to do something about this. The question is, this is what you've decided to do. This is the punishment. How does that help? Where does it help the people affected? I think it's an acceptable question. I'd love to know the answer. Tony Katz, that's me, by the way, 93 WIBC, good morning. So just because the Supreme Court decides that birthright citizenship is the law of the land, that the 14th Amendment says if you're born in the United States, you're a U.S. citizen. That doesn't mean that you are left without any options. Now, we discussed this when the Supreme Court decision came down. Tony Katz, 93 WIBC, good morning. We said that there's going to be other ways to look at this and other ways to venture forth because what the court said is you can create legislation. You can codify what these things are. Don't ask us to do it. Seems to be a very John Roberts court thing to do. But it was Brett Kavanaugh, very specifically, who in part of his dissent, he agreed in part and dissented in part in the 6-3 decision, said that the executive order from President Trump is a bridge too far. Because this is not something that the executive can do. Rather, the...

Congress can go about making changes. The president can sign that into law, and that changes to what we not only consider a citizen, but who we consider the invader, because part of what the Supreme Court said was these people who are born here, this is not part of some invading force. And that would be a reason for someone born here not to be a citizen of here. Well, I think that does need. a bit of understanding. And it was Senator Jim Banks who also thought that needs a bit of direction and came up with the Citizenship Act of 2026. He joined Tony Katz today yesterday to discuss what it is he's proposing. Well, you got to look at what the Supreme Court ruled on and what they didn't rule on. And this is one of those Supreme Court decisions that was so bad that's building a movement in our country. do something about it just like Roe v. Wade did a generation before. Roe v. Wade led to the legal killing of millions of babies. In this case, I think this bad decision by the Supreme Court is an existential threat to the sovereignty of our country and allowing for birthright citizenship to continue. But what the Supreme Court struck down was President Trump's executive order banning birthright citizenship by a 6 to 3 ruling, as you said. And Brett Kavanaugh was on the wrong side of that. But what Brett Kavanaugh tipped his hat at is that what every Supreme Court justice has, even in their concurring opinion striking down President Trump, all nine justices from the right to the left, they all agree that birthright citizenship is not afforded. to invaders of our country per the 14th Amendment. So when you look at that language and that statute, what the Supreme Court didn't rule on is, and Brett Kavanaugh said this, Congress needs to tweak the language about what an invasion is, and the Supreme Court doesn't declare an invasion, the president and the Congress do, and that the babies of those who are invading our country are not. warranted birthright citizenship. We don't need a constitutional amendment. And Congress can't overturn the Supreme Court. But Congress can pass a law that says that the illegals flooding into our country over our southern border are invaders, and those invaders should not be given birthright citizenship. We've declared invasion of pirates, of Nazi spies, of terrorists. And in those cases, we're talking about hundreds. In this case, we're talking about tens of millions of illegals coming into our country, and a quarter of a million babies born to those illegals every single year. They should not be given birthright citizenship, and my bill would prevent that from happening. Just a couple weeks ago, we had ICE arrest a couple who had given birth to six babies who were granted citizenship. Then you had the Chinese billionaire who paid a surrogate to have... a hundred babies in our country who are given citizenship. Then again, a whole cottage industry in Texas of hospitals with birthright packages that are being handed out. This is wrong. It's not fair. It shouldn't stand. My bill would block that from happening in the future. As a matter of those last two things you just brought up.

Can your legislation be seen as retroactive? Is there, if it were to pass, signed by the president, would it now make those children no longer citizens? That is my intent and my hope. And, you know, we build a number of co-sponsors over the last week. And in the House, we have Brandon Gill and Greg Stuby, who are introducing versions of the same bill that I introduced in the Senate with the hope that we can stop those $250,000 a year who have been born to the illegals that were flooded into our country on Joe Biden and the Democrats watch. I mean, this is a... This is a threat to the sovereignty of our country, as I said. And retroactive or moving forward, we have to stop that from that happening again, and we're going to lose our country. Talking to Senator Jim Banks of Indiana, before I let you go, sir, so much of this is also now a conversation of what president spoke about in the prime time address on Thursday, and specifically the conversation about the SAVE Act, which has made its way through the House in varying ways and attached to varying pieces of legislation, now sits before you, really sits before the leader, John Thune, yet we keep hearing that there's no action. Why is it so difficult for Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act? Well, I'm glad President Trump gave the speech. It should motivate every Republican in the Senate to do something to act. Right now, the House is putting together the next reconciliation bill, reconciliation 3.0. That's that $350 billion for our military plus. the Save America Act. And we can't, by reconciliation, per the rules, we can't accomplish 100% of the Save America Act, but we can get pretty close by tying federal grants. to the actions of states to block illegals from voting and update their voter roles. And so that's probably the simplest or easiest. Nothing's easy, but the easiest solution or way forward. The other solution is simply nuking the filibuster rules and allowing the Save America Act to pass. We know that it has the votes necessary to pass because Mike Lee put an amendment on the floor. in the last voter rama, and we got Susan Collins, 50 Republicans to vote for it for the meat of the Save America Act. And with JD Vance's tie-breaking vote, we know we can pass it. So we have to fight for it. And there are avenues to do that. President Trump came and spoke to our Senate Republican lunch a few weeks ago, and it was an hour-long, tough love messages to Senate Republicans that we have to fight harder for it. And his speech last week about...

what the Chinese have done to hack into our voter roles and combine that with the notion that 250,000 foreigners are born on American soil, the babies of illegals in this country who are granted citizenship that can become registered voters in 18 years, and you realize that this is all about saving our country. It's an aptly named bill. If you want the full interview with Senator Banks, we'll have that at WIBC.com. Of course, it's in the podcast. Wherever it does you get your podcast. Just look for Tony Katz. Tony Katz in the morning news. We have that podcast. Tony Katz today. We have that podcast. I don't know how many podcasts you need, but you should at least be subscribed to those two. Let's start there. Senator Jim Banks, I appreciate you taking the time. So we thought we had an understanding the song. I don't know what that theme song was. Oh, good Lord. I will not lie. Rest of soul, Quincy Jay Jones. This is a bad song. Right? You know what? You know what, Carl? I was going to talk. We'll ask what sucks more. Tony Katz 93, WIBC. Good morning. I was going to talk about cyclist psoriasis that they thought they had a understanding of where this explosive diarrhea thing was from. Lettuce at Central Mexico. And now they're like, you know what? That lettuce from Taylor Farms? Maybe that's a false positive. We're not so sure now. So that's fantastic. But then you played We Are the World. So it allows us to play America's new favorite game. Does it suck? I thought I gave you enough lead time, Carl. I didn't. No, I'm going to say that the intro sucks. We should put that out there. What? Yeah, the whole thing's got to get redone. It's like a game show. It doesn't work at all. The whole throwing up thing and no part of it makes sense. We've got to redo it. Here's how we play our game. I will bring something up and I will ask you if it sucks. We all agree, except for those of us trying to get into a wedding dress, that explosive diarrhea sucks, right? We're all there. We're all good. We're all set. The cyclosporiasis.

On the nose, producer Carl. Fantastic. We're all there on this. We get this. We can't now identify the source. We thought we had the source. Nuts. We are the world, which was the U.S. version of Do They Know It's Christmas from the Brits? I believe that was Bob Geldof. This way we're going to help feed the children here, there, and everywhere, and they got all these stars together after the Grammys, and they were all waiting for Prince to show up, and Prince never showed up, and that's how Huey Lewis got involved. Great, great, great, what do they call those things? Documentary. Great documentary. But go ahead, play some of the song, producer, Carl. Just pick a point in the middle. Any of you doing terrific. It brings back great memories, though, Tony. Steiner Ross. Okay. Hit pit pause. That song sucks. It's a terrible, terrible song. It is awful, brutal. Yeah, but just think about all the talent in one room. And that's what you came up with. That's what you came up with. Song ended all wars, Tony. It did not end all wars. It also didn't end explosive diarrhea. I don't know what I'm supposed to get from that song, but it is terrible. Does it suck? We are the world. You tell me. You tell me, tell me in the chat as we live stream over there on YouTube, just go to WIBC and subscribe. You can tell me on Twitter, Twitter X right there. You can also tell me there. You can also just call Matt Baer right now. Please do. His phone number, 1,900 of Vroom Room. We can talk about We Are the World or Explosive Diarrhea. What sucks more? Well, if you listen to enough, we are the world, you will get explosive diarrhea. That's factual. It's a terrible, awful song, true or false. Okay, the chat room is with me. The song sucks. Chat room is with me. That is three votes for Deftly Sucks. One vote for How Did Carl Get This Job? That's where we are right now. In the voting. Four votes. Nope, that's three votes for it sucks. Two votes for How did Carl get this job. And one vote for Matt Bear to take off his shirt in the live stream. Yeah. Matt, you like this song? You grew up thinking this song was a banger? It's a... As the kids would say. The kids would say. There's a little nostalgia to it. I mean, it has El Jero. It's got Bruce. It's got, um... It's got Elgerald. Come on now. Come on now. It's got Michael Jackson, who you love. Yeah. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Speaking of explosive diarrhea. Who's your native? Right? I mentioned the young Huey Lewis.

Right? Sports is a great album. It's got Bob Dylan all by himself. Allow me to do a reenactment. He, he, he, he, he, he. He slept through the whole thing. It's got Willie Nelson. After Blood on the tracks, I don't know what happened. Right? Blood on the tracks, blonde on blonde all day. Everything else, I don't know. Well, no. Traveling Woolburys, I will also accept as an answer. Oh, it's got Willie Nelson. You know what, respect. Willie Nelson did that song and he said, I'm going to start trying to read. That was a true story. Oh. Don't forget Darrell Hall. I can't forget Darrell Hall. Can't forget. And what he did to John Oates. I have not gotten over. Those two lovebirds should get back together. This is not right. People go to prison for that. So we all agree it's a terrible song. But you still think it gives you Matt nostalgia vibes? Oh, yeah, I did. Because when I heard it, I was like, yeah, I remember that was part of my youth, you know, when I was a little traffic reporter kid. And it kind of brought back some happy memories. And then I started listening to the song. And I didn't enjoy it. Did not enjoy the song. It's a bad song. Now, if you play, we don't know if we have time for it right now. Do they know it's Christmas? That's a better song. That's just a musically better song, just a produced better song. It's a better song. It's a better song. So we kicked the British's butt in war. We've created the far superior culture. But they got that one. So I'll give them that. I'll give them that. Well played. Well played, Britain. So the terrorist in New York has been IDed. And we should be clear. Terrorist, Tony Katz, 93 WIBC, good morning. An absolute pleasure to be with you. This is the guy who took this, what originally was discussed is fireworks and lit them off in front of a federal building in New York. Then you see a video, and it's a pouring of, of, uh, A liquid on the ground setting it on fire, it turns out, according to the FBI, it was gasoline. So what happened was, was that this 43-year-old walks over to the front of the building, still on the sidewalk, pours gasoline on the ground, uses a firework, and lights the firework that lights the gasoline. He had two axes on him. Two airsoft rifles, six knives, a hammer and a machete. And he also had six other incendiary devices or fireworks along with other destructive items. Former U.S. Army served from 2001 to 2005. The indoctrination comes from everywhere. And the downplaying comes from NBC, where they put the first headline, fireworks set off outside 26 federal plaza. Sources say, sending smoke billowing. That's not the story. They then updated it to incendiary device.

The media cannot be, cannot, cannot be trusted. Why not just say loud boom scares president? That's what they said when he got shot in Butler. Hey, Indy Star. Oh, no, no, it's all the fault of Gannett, not you at the Indy Star. Sure. Whatever you say. Said it then, meant it then. Still mean it now. This was an act of domestic terrorism. This was going after ICE agents. This is what the American left has been calling for in their lone wolf call. They call for somebody to harm President Trump. They still do it. Oh, ICE is terrible. ICE is this. ICE is that. ICE needs to be abolished. They have been calling for violence. This is the left wing violence. Stop telling me it doesn't exist. Well, Tony, what about January 6th? This is your answer? It's not an answer. It's a child-like response. It's a child-like response. It's a child's response. There I merge the two by mistake. People who engaged in violence on January 6, which was a riot and on an insurrection, should be in jail. Lots of people didn't engage in violence, were invited into the Capitol. They didn't do anything wrong. If you would just say so, we could have a normal conversation, but you don't say so. So we can't have a normal conversation because some of these people simply won't be normal. This is left-wing violence. This is what the political left on every level wants to see. They want to see the guy. They are absolutely down for it. They are down for this. They want this. This is going to tie into a report from the State Department, which I've just started reading. Cuba, the capital of 21st century communism. I'm going to dig into this in about an hour. It is an absolutely brutal, brutal report. talking about 70 years of Cuba pushing far-left insurgency in the Western Hemisphere. The communist has to lose, and the communist loses only one way. They get ripped asunder. You have to stop setting your kids to universities. You have to stop pretending that funding universities matters. That includes IU, that includes Purdue or any place else, that may get any level of state dollars. Not when you allow this. All universities. You have to stop sending your kids to these places. You have to break the teachers union in two. Oh, we've got a lot of work ahead of us. But we can do it both one rip of the band-aid. And then you've got to end the Cuban regime in Cuba. Tony, you're such a warmonger. We are at war. They fired the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth shot. Only the fool doesn't notice.
