1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: A little behind the scenes. What happens during the commercial

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: breaks or when the news is going on. What do

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: you do? You're looking at the money line for the

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: IU game.

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 2: I may have my DraftKings app open, sure, maybe you know,

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: just for fun.

7
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: Uh huh. So what you were saying that it started

8
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: at five and a half and then it jumped up

9
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: to seven and a half, then to eight and a half.

10
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: Where's it at now?

11
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: So this is we're talking about the IU National Championship

12
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: game against Miami. And yeah, the line has been slowly

13
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: increasing and IU keeps giving up more and more points.

14
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 2: Yeah the line is eight and a half right now,

15
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: but there are a handful of betting apps out there

16
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: that have got it up to nine nine. And so

17
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: this I get nervous. And this is the way the

18
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: gambling world looks at things. There gambling world looks at

19
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: things and split into two things. There's the public that's

20
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: like me betting, and then there's professional gamblers and what

21
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: they're betting. The public is all in on IU. They

22
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: think it's going to be a blowout over Miami. The

23
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: professional gamblers are saying that's way too many points to

24
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: give up, and their money is going toward Miami getting

25
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: all of those points. I get nervous when everybody is like, oh, yeah,

26
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: this game, I you. Everybody thinks I you is gonna

27
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: win this game. Probably when it big, that's when I

28
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: start getting a little nervous. So, yes, I'm a little

29
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: nervous for IU in this game on Monday, just based

30
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: on how everybody assumes that they're going to win it.

31
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: Don't want to get over confident. Did you see the

32
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: map that somebody put out everybody rooting for IU. It

33
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: was red across the entire country. There was a little

34
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: section of green done by Miami, and then a little

35
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: section of Green and Lafayette, and a little section of

36
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: Green and South Bend. And unless you're from Indiana, you

37
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: may not get that joke.

38
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a pretty inside Indiana sports joke. And

39
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: the funny thing was the green part around South Bend,

40
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: said meteor Strike. I was like, Wow, that's a Notre

41
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: Dame hater that created that graphic. But it was pretty

42
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: funny and fairly accurate. I guess.

43
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: I guess. The IU story has been like a.

44
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: Disney movie practically, and so the vast majority of the

45
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: country he is hoping that the Hoosiers can pull it

46
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: off in Miami rightly so, being portrayed as the bad

47
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: guys as they always are.

48
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: So well, just like coach Signetti said, it's like a movie,

49
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: right it is.

50
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: Make a heck of a movie, take a heck of

51
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: a man and it will. Somebody's gonna make a movie

52
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: about it.

53
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: So you've got Donald Trump and also the Secretary of

54
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: State Mark or Rubia planning on attending the game. Let's

55
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: see here the insider. The quote from an insider says

56
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: they like to brow out over football. It's not all

57
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: talk about Venezuela.

58
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: There was also obviously, you know Marco Rubio from Florida,

59
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: from Miami. He's a big mamam a Hurricanes fan. He's

60
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: made no doubts.

61
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: Did he go to school there? I think he's great.

62
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if he's an alumni as well.

63
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: He did he went to university.

64
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: He's made it clear that he's pulling for the University

65
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: of Miami. And while Trump did not come out specifically

66
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: and say he's rooting for IU, he kind of danced

67
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: around the fact that him and Ruby are on They're

68
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: on opposite sides of this game. So Trump Trump pretty

69
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: much pulling for Iu on this one and Rubio pulling

70
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: for his alma mater.

71
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: Uh No, actually, Rubio, he went to University of Florida.

72
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: Okay, but still he's from Miami. He's from Florida. He's

73
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: got a big allegiance there. Makes sense that he would be,

74
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: you know, certainly pulling from Miami Hurricanes and.

75
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: Rubio his son Anthony Rubio grew up playing football with

76
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: some of the Miami players, so he's got some other

77
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: connections there.

78
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna be You're gonna have a rough Tuesday

79
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: morning when Miami loses Rubio.

80
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 3: Sorry about that, but it's the price. So have we.

81
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: Checked on ticket price for that game recent.

82
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: So here's what's going on with that.

83
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: And each university gets a certain allotment and then the

84
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: rest is given to corporate sponsors and they're none that

85
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: are available for the general public for the most part.

86
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: On that, what we're seeing as far as ticket prices

87
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: and what traditionally happens in these situations are as you

88
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: get closer to the game, prices on the secondary market

89
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: start dropping, so you can usually get your best deals

90
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: like the day before the game or sometime the morning

91
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: of the game. What the experts and ticket brokers are saying.

92
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: That's likely not going to be the case in this

93
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: specific one, because there is so much demand for two reasons.

94
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: It's a home game for Miami because they're playing in

95
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: their home stadium and it's in Miami. And then we've

96
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: all heard that, you know, IU has the largest living

97
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: alumni base around the country with eight hundred thousand living alumni,

98
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: and there are a lot of people that are trying

99
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: to go to this game.

100
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: So this is one of the rare instances where you're.

101
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: Probably not going to see this discount in secondary ticket

102
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: pricing happen, you know, Sunday and then Monday morning, it's

103
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: likely that the price at the very least is going

104
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: to stay the same or not increase. And I last

105
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: time I checked it, and it was last night, the

106
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: cheapest price to get in the door was about three

107
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. Okay, so three thousand dollars and there are

108
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: people that.

109
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: Are paying That's where it was the other day.

110
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, it hasn't moved very much, but if you see

111
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: any movement, it will certainly.

112
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: Happen this weekend.

113
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 2: And then if you want good seats, I mean, there

114
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: are some seats that people are asking fifty thousand dollars

115
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: for a ticket for and you're, you know, in the

116
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: lower section right on the fifty yard line. Now, they're

117
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: not saying that they're selling for that much, but they

118
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: are saying that at least they're being asked for, and

119
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: they're being priced on the secondary market as high as

120
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars.

121
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: So you're right. Donald Trump has a declared a favor,

122
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: but his aids say that he has been praising Fernando

123
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: Mendoza as everybody else has and should.

124
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: Two thirty two hundred and sixty dollars is officially the

125
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: official cheapest get in price and that gets you top

126
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 2: of the stadium in the end zone. So about the

127
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: worst seats in the entire place. But yeah, thirty two

128
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: hundred dollars okay.

129
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: And what Governor Brown mentioned it in his State of

130
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: the State address that he would leave it up to

131
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: the individual schools to decide if they were going to

132
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: delay start time on Tuesday by a few hours.

133
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of Indiana, both grade schools and high schools,

134
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: are trying to pushed for Hey, maybe we just had

135
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: to start a two hour delay. What I'm also waiting

136
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: for is the in inevitable bet between the two governors,

137
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: because they always the case. Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida,

138
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: might Bron the governor and Indian will have some sort

139
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: of bet where you know, if I you loses, Bron

140
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: will send him, you know, Indiana popcorn and other you know,

141
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: treats from this area and we'll get from Florida.

142
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: We'll get a bag of oranges or something.

143
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: Like that, oranges or some oysters perhaps from.

144
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: The from the Apalachicola, from the Gulf of America.

145
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 3: Oysters.

146
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: Yes, but you know that that's coming. So keep an

147
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 2: eye on your social media posts from the Governor of

148
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 2: Florida and the governor.

149
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: So I had mentioned it yesterday that there are some

150
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 1: people who are not happy with the idea that Donald

151
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: Trump is going to the game because they don't want

152
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: the focus on him. They want it on the game

153
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: and the players. And I was asking you who is

154
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: airing the game, and you said it's on ESPN.

155
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: Right, It's on ESPN. So ESPN, ESPN.

156
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: Is not going to even show him. ESPN to show

157
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: up and they may pan to him.

158
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 2: They have made they have not even tried to hide

159
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: the fact that they've turned that once glorious chancel the

160
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: ESPN into an absolute bastion of liberal politics pushing into sports.

161
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: And so I can't imagine ESPN will have much interest

162
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: in showing a lot of Donald Trump. They'll probably give

163
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: him the cursory five second shot of a Donald Trump.

164
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: The President is here in the suite, and that's probably it.

165
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: So I don't see any scenario where Donald Trump being

166
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: there really takes the focus away from the game that

167
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: he's barely going to get any TV time, as my guest.

168
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Won't be far if he's at mar A Lago. Just

169
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: like Jaunt right down right and.

170
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: Made it easy, he's probably hanging out, going to hang

171
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: out at mar A Lago this weekend. He'll be there

172
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: Monday morning, and then he'll go to the National Championship

173
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: game right down the road and then probably fly back

174
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: to DC after that.

175
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about this scheme to rig college

176
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: basketball games, which has been uncovered, so we're talking twenty

177
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: six people have been charged, including current and former college players.

178
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: The charges include bribery, wire fraud, and conspiracy. This is

179
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: how the scheme work. Recruited players to intentionally underperform in games.

180
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: So they wanted them to throw the game.

181
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and these are these are still Division I programs,

182
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: but they're they're very low level. And I'm gonna guess

183
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: you probably even haven't ever heard of some of these

184
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: universities Abilene, Christian, New Orleans University, Alabama State, so some

185
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: you know, some probably some university, uh, Northwestern State, not Northwestern,

186
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: that's part of the Big Ten. So these were lower

187
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: level players in lower level programs. And then the story

188
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: it came out these fixers targeted those schools and those

189
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: teams specifically because those players don't get much at IL money.

190
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: See that's fascinating how NIL has changed everything. And now

191
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: if I'm trying to fix college basketball or college football games,

192
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: I can't go to the big, the big ones, because

193
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: those players are all getting paid hundreds of thousands and

194
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: sometimes millions of dollars a year. What I'm going to

195
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: give them to throw the game isn't going to be

196
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: enough to sway them more than likely. But if I

197
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: go to some of these small schools like Nickel State

198
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: and I give a player, hey, here's twenty thousand dollars.

199
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: I want you to fix the game.

200
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: Okay, that kid's not getting a ton of nil money,

201
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: that's probably going to entice that person to do.

202
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: That, right, they'd be more likely to do it. But

203
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, well, twenty thousand dollars is a substantial

204
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: amount of money. It's not millions, so it's going to

205
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: take a little longer to notice something like that.

206
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 3: Well kind of, because that's the thing.

207
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: This has been going on since twenty twenty three.

208
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 3: Here's the deal though.

209
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: But with the advent of all of the betting apps

210
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: and so much data being gathered out there, I saw

211
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 2: one report that talked about how these gamblers ended up

212
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: betting four hundred thousand dollars on one game. Nobody's betting

213
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: that kind of money on these games, and so with

214
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: all of that data easily be able to access, DraftKings

215
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: is going to get an alert when somebody places a

216
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: huge bet like that, and they're gonna be like, this

217
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 2: is way out of bounds. We normally don't even take

218
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: in ten thousand dollars in betting for this game from everyone,

219
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: and now you got one dude throwing four hundred grand

220
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: on it. So it's become with the betting apps, much

221
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: easier to spot these anomalies where and that's exactly what

222
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: happened right here. They dug into it. It turned out

223
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: it was a lot more widespread than what they thought.

224
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: So you got to imagine that the NCAA wants to

225
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: get this story wrapped up very quickly.

226
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 3: For sure. But this has been going on.

227
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: Look, fixing sports games, especially college basketball game has been around,

228
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 2: you know, in air for decades. There was a massive

229
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: point shaving scandal in the early fifties that took place.

230
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: There was a lot of rumors and talk about it

231
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: in the seventies and eighties. Trying to gamblers, trying to

232
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 2: fix games, especially in college basketball, been going on for

233
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: a long time. It's just now being brought to the

234
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: digital age because everybody can just make bets on their

235
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 2: phone right now.

236
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: Well, it does mirror some of these prior scandals. You

237
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: had that one big one the pro basketball won the

238
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: gambling ring.

239
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

240
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: That was just recently, just within this last year, they

241
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: made arrests on for the NBA.

242
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: Right and you had these baseball players that were charged

243
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: with bribery.

244
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: There was a huge referee gamble about ten years ago

245
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: in the NBA where some refs were caught you know,

246
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: fixing games. This has been going on for a long time.

247
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: You can't blame the fact that now you can gamble

248
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: on sports in most states and do it right on

249
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 2: your mask.

250
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: It's not driving.

251
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: It is this part of a wider gambling issue since

252
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen when the Supreme Court said, yeah, you can

253
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: when they legalize sports betting.

254
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: They did.

255
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,479
Speaker 2: But again, because so much of this has done electronically,

256
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: it's much easier to have the proof and get caught.

257
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: It used to be in the eighties you'd give your

258
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: bookie ten thousand dollars and you'd make it a legal bet,

259
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: and if you were fixing the game, it was difficult

260
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: to figure out that you were fixing the game because

261
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: the bookie's not reporting that ten thousand dollars bet to anybody.

262
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 2: But now if I'm making that bet on DraftKings, well

263
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: now the algorithms can flag that bet as being so

264
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: out of bounds from normal that all of a sudden,

265
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: the spotlight gets turned to me. So's there's always been

266
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 2: people that are trying to fix games, go back to

267
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: the you know, nineteen nineteen White Sox and the Black

268
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: Sox scandal and shoeless Joe Jackson. This has been going

269
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: on for over one hundred years. It's gonna keep mother

270
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: just a digital footage. It's gonna keep going on for

271
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: the next hundred years. It's just being done in the

272
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: modern age.

273
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Now it is the Kendall and Casey Show. It's ninety

274
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: three WIBC. After more than thirteen years at the helm

275
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: of Lucas Film Kathleen Kennedy stepping down from Star Wars,

276
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: that factory founded by George Lucas.

277
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: Star Wars fans everywhere are celebrating so happy she did

278
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 2: her best to single handedly ruin one of the most

279
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: beloved movie franchises in American history. This although, you know,

280
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: when George Lucas sold his company, Lucas Films to Disney,

281
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: they put this woman, Kathleen Kennedy in charge of it.

282
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: And she immediately and there were leaked recordings of conversations

283
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: that they had and recorded zoom calls that proved all

284
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: this out. She immediately instituted every big, bad, nasty thing

285
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: that's part of DEI into all of those movies and

286
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: TV shows, and it's been turned.

287
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: Off for over a decade now.

288
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: And like I said, she did her best to ruin

289
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 2: the entire Star Wars franchise and everybody is saying pretty

290
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: much good riddance to her.

291
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: So they've got a new president and chief creative officer.

292
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: His name is Dave Faloni. But Foloni has experienced. He's

293
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: the one who got some of the Star Wars movies animated.

294
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that, the animation of the

295
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: Star Wars.

296
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it's fine. I think there's a place for it.

297
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 2: You want to have the Star Wars discussion right now,

298
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: let's do it.

299
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 3: Okay. Fine.

300
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: So I have not dug into and I don't do

301
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: the animated ones. But the handful of shows that are

302
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 2: getting critical acclaim and are favored by the Star Wars

303
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: community happened to be the TV shows that are streaming,

304
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: and not so much of the movies. The Mandalorian and

305
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: and or have both. You know, in general consensus in

306
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: the Star Wars.

307
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: Billion dollars is what they've made on those two.

308
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: Shows, and those have universally been well accepted and liked

309
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: by the Star Wars community. It's been a lot of

310
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: the other shows they've done. It's been the movies that

311
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: they've done. It's the Star Wars community has definitely shunned

312
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: a lot of what Disney has done with that franchise

313
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: since they purchased it from George Lucas, and this woman

314
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: at the helm of it all, Kathleen Kennedy.

315
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: Was, you know, the chief instigator of all of that.

316
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, for thirteen years. A lot of people are really

317
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: happy about it. They say that a lot of the

318
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: films have been inconsistent as well and just not good.

319
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: The vision of the franchise totally changed after she took over.

320
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, they just haven't been good. De Ei is

321
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: one thing, and you can talk about that that. You know,

322
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 2: they might have deprived certain actors that were better qualified

323
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: for those role by putting other people in there. But

324
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, when you produce something

325
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: that's just garbage, that's not very good and not very entertaining,

326
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: that's been the biggest problem. And the se second round,

327
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: the most recent round of the trilogy movies have been

328
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: mediocre at best, and a lot of the TV shows

329
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: and other things they've done have just been all downright awful.

330
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: It's generally accepted in the Star Wars community that the

331
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: first one that they launched after Disney Bottom Rogue one

332
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: was the best out of all of them, and it's

333
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: probably because Disney didn't have the chance to get.

334
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: Their hooks into it. I guess right.

335
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: They were still timechized.

336
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

337
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so there's Star Wars and then there is Star Trek,

338
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: also having its own issues. Paramount spent between six and

339
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: ten million dollars an episode per episode on Star Trek

340
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: Starfleet Academy.

341
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: This is the brand new Star Trek series that the

342
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: that Paramount is putting out.

343
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: And they put the premiere on YouTube for free and

344
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: it only got thirteen hundred live viewers.

345
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: Can you imagine you spent ten million dollars ten million dollars,

346
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: you put it on YouTube where pretty much everybody has

347
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: access to everybody consumes everything on YouTube, and you had

348
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: thirteen hundred people watching it live.

349
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 3: That's it.

350
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: That's so sad.

351
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: Also, I haven't read it.

352
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm not another franchise that's just gone downhill.

353
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

354
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: I'm not much of a trekye. I've watched the movies

355
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: and seen a couple of the TV shows. Much more

356
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: of a Star Wars guy as opposed to a Star

357
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: Trek guy. But looked into this as well, and again

358
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: this has turned. They just made a woke version of

359
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: Star Wars or Star Trek.

360
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: Well, they've got these Starfleet Academy people. They're all taking

361
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: this literal DEI training in the show.

362
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: In the show, how about that?

363
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: Hey, look, I know that this is about space and

364
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: sci fi far frontier, but let's have a DEI training.

365
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 3: Seminar as part of one of the episodes.

366
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, wonder nobody was watching it exactly.

367
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: I'm surprised they got thirteen hundred people. Who are the

368
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: thirteen hundred people that found that entertaining.

369
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: Isn't entertainment like that supposed to be a little bit

370
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: of a escapism. You don't want that shoved in your

371
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: face all the time.

372
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 2: But I'm not saying anything new here. This has been

373
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: a problem with Hollywood in general for decades, where they

374
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: have been pushing their political agenda on everything. What's going

375
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: to be interesting now is Hollywood does not have nearly

376
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 2: the power over American pop culture and consumerism as it

377
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 2: used to, and so they can't just keep throwing garbage

378
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: up against the wall and expect the American consumers to

379
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: pay for it or even watch it. And I think

380
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: we saw that here with Star Trek. So these companies

381
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 2: are going to have to feel financial pain, and it

382
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 2: looks like Paramount with Star Trek, could be facing some

383
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: significant financial pain. But that's the only way they're going

384
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 2: to change the way they do things. They have to

385
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 2: see that financial pain from their decisions before they change

386
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: it and actually put out some entertaining content.

387
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: Now I saw this article and I'm just going to

388
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: be honest, I have no idea who this person is.

389
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: Who is it zoe Saldana?

390
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Zoey Saldana.

391
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: Yes, she is now the highest grossing actor slash actress

392
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: of all time. So my question is who? And maybe

393
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: that's because I'm not a big fan of going to

394
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: the movies, and I'm not you know, up to date

395
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: on you would anything at the box office at the

396
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: movie theater, but like who.

397
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 3: You would recognize her?

398
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: Now?

399
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: You might wreck an Avatar.

400
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: So she was in two massive franchises that generated billions

401
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: of billions of dollars, and that's how she get it.

402
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 3: She's one of the people that are in Avatar.

403
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: But she also played in Guardians of the Galaxy, Okay, then.

404
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 3: The Avengers movies too, so you've got these.

405
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 2: She was part of two just massive franchises that generated

406
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 2: billions and billions in box office dollars, and so she

407
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: is now you know her movies that she's been part of,

408
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: even though she I don't believe she's the.

409
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 3: Star in Avatar.

410
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 2: She's certainly not the lead in Guardians of the Galaxy

411
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 2: in Marvels either. She's a strong secondary role in both.

412
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: But because she was in both of them.

413
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: And they were they add all that money.

414
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 3: Together when they total up the box office.

415
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: I do recognize her now that I pull up a

416
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: picture of her.

417
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 3: But she played Gomorra, which was a green skinned alien

418
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 3: in the in the Guardians of the Galaxy and the

419
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 3: Avengers movies.

420
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: Well, she is now the highest grossing actor of all

421
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: time fifteen point four six billion dollars.

422
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: It used to be fifteen billion.

423
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it used to be. Scarlett Johansson also an Avengers.

424
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 2: Part of the Avengers movies as well, she played Black Widow.

425
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: She's barely I mean this, Zoe is barely beating Scarlett Johansson.

426
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: Scarlett Johansson is now fifteen point four zero billion. And

427
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: I've got the top ten list here for you.

428
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: Please hit me with it, because for a long time

429
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 2: it was Harrison Harrison Ford was the top grossing because

430
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: he was in Star Wars and then the Indiana Jones movie.

431
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: He's not even in the top ten and no longer interesting.

432
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: So you've got Zoe at number one. Scarlett Johansson number two,

433
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: followed by Samuel L. Jackson again Star Wars fourteen billion.

434
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 3: He was in the Star Wars franchise, Robert.

435
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: Downey Junior fourteen billions, Iron Man back to Marvel, then

436
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt Guardians of the Galaxy.

437
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: He was the lead from Guardians of the Galaxy.

438
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: And then Tom Cruise at twelve billion, The.

439
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 3: Mission Impossible Movies obviously.

440
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: Chris Hemsworth also twelve billion.

441
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: Another Marvel, Avengers.

442
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: Guy Vin Diesel twelve billion, Fast and Furious.

443
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: Would you make thirty two Fast and Furious movies? You're

444
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: gonna be end up being on this list.

445
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: Chris Evans at eleven billion.

446
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 3: Captain America back to Avengers.

447
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: And then Dwayne the Rock Johnson at eleven billion. They

448
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: all made their money on franchises, not single hits.

449
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: Well, that's where Hollywood makes all their money. On franchises.

450
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: People sit here and complain about how Hollywood doesn't put

451
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 2: out anything new. They just get more Marvel movies and

452
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: more advertising.

453
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: The same story on repeat.

454
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 2: Those are the ones that make the money. Man, Hollywood's

455
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 2: going to go to where the money is. And if

456
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 2: you're making it of money making Marvel movies, you're just

457
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 2: going to keep making more and more Marvel movies.

458
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: Money that you and I will never see in our lives,

459
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: not even close.

460
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 2: Hey, I don't even have enough money to buy a

461
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 2: ticket to the movies these days. It seems like that's true.

462
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: It is the Kennelly Casey Show. It's ninety three WIBC.

463
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 2: Is the IRS actually doing something.

464
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: That we can get behind?

465
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: I don't believe you.

466
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: Okay, So the Treasury Secretary Scott percent He announced that

467
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: the IRS is launching a massive audit of financial institutions

468
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: that have facilitated the laundering of funds in Minnesota. Let

469
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: me read that again. The IRS is launching audits of

470
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: financial institutions that facilitated laundering.

471
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: I stand corrected. This is something I can get behind

472
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 2: it absolutely, this is what the IRS should be doing.

473
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: All right. Here's the Treasury Secretary.

474
00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 4: Civil Enforcement is auditing financial institutions that facilitate the laundering

475
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 4: of Minnesota funds. In addition to helping support criminal and

476
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 4: civil enforcement efforts, the I R S will also soon

477
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 4: announce the formation of a task force.

478
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: Uh okay, So let's break this down just a bit. Uh.

479
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: They're gonna look into what banks and financial middlemen and

480
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: anybody who helped move some dirty money. But that's going

481
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: to cost you money, So they're gonna that's what they're

482
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: gonna charge you to find the fraud that's charging you.

483
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 3: I'm okay with all of this.

484
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 2: These people that pulled off this fraud in Minneapolis, and

485
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: it's probably happening in many other states, should absolutely be

486
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: investigated by every branch of the federal government that we

487
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: can find to throw at them. And so if we've

488
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: got to use the IRS, I mean, this is a

489
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: much better use of the IRS's resources going after corporate

490
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: fraud that defrauded not only you know, individuals, but defraunded

491
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 2: the federal government taxpayers potentially out of billions of dollars.

492
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: That's exactly what the IRS should be focusing their resources

493
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 2: on a little bit less by auditing average everyday Americans.

494
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: So they got to follow the money, audit everything, and

495
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: then prosecute people who broke the law. But this should

496
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: not just be focused on Minneapolis. From Minnesota, because you

497
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: know this is happening in other states.

498
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely should be investigated everywhere that we think it's happening.

499
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 2: I think this is the most high profile and I

500
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 2: think that we've got the most, you know, at the

501
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: very least circumstantial evidence that this is happening in Minnesota.

502
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, start there, that's the low hanging fruit. And

503
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 2: once you get those guys and bust them and send

504
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 2: some people to jail over this, then move on to

505
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 2: another state that's doing similar things and defrauding the federal

506
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 2: government and stealing tax dollars.

507
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: I believe it was Elan Omar, who's yeah, it's her.

508
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: She's still denying that there's any fraud in Minnesota. Check

509
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: this out, congress Woman Omar.

510
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 5: Yesterday you told me to please read when I asked

511
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 5: you about the nine billion dollar fraud that you denied

512
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 5: is happening.

513
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 3: But I have it right here. I read.

514
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 5: Look, Chairman, co are open here and on massive fraud

515
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 5: scandal nine billion dollars.

516
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 3: That's what Comer believes, because he's as smart as you are.

517
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 5: It's not just Comer, it's Scott Besst, it's federal prosecutors,

518
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 5: the town's oversight, it's Minnesota state rights. You could have that.

519
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 3: Man, I think you need to get examined because your

520
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 3: brain has been fled in some way and it's not okay.

521
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 3: I really hope you get some help.

522
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: You and the Republicans here take care, Okay, man.

523
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.

524
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 5: I couldn't go to the learning centers that you're running

525
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 5: over in Minnesota, but I think you should perhaps read.

526
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: What's actually one of those learning centers.

527
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 5: I need one of those learning centers.

528
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: Look, I mean, you know, the sad thing about all

529
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 2: of this is ilan Omar is probably gonna win reelection in.

530
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: Her district in the at the end of this year.

531
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: I mean, and well, you know, it's it's extremely democratic area.

532
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: She has a certain amount of power within the Democrat Party.

533
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 2: Gonna guess she'll probably run outposed and it's going to

534
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 2: be difficult for a Republican to break into a solid

535
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 2: Democrat district like that. She can come out and pretty

536
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: much say whatever she wants. She can, you know, you can,

537
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: you know, look to the sky and she'll tell you

538
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: that the sky is red when it's actually blue. And

539
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter because she'll likely just get reelected in

540
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 2: that Minnesota district.

541
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: Again, aren't they uncovering that her net worth now is

542
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: something like thirty million dollars. I mean, it seems like

543
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 1: she's the one who's profiting off of this fraud.

544
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 2: And she's not the only one. They all are on

545
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: both sides of the aisle. All of these politicians walk

546
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 2: in their working class and leave their cushy government jobs

547
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 2: as multimillionaires.

548
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: When will she be investigated? I mean, when is that

549
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: going to happen?

550
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: You know, Look, if they haven't investigated Nancy Pelosi for

551
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 2: insider trading, I mean there are you know, there are blogs,

552
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: there are websites, there are Twitter accounts that just track

553
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi's trades because they have to be publicly disclosed.

554
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: And you know, it turns out she's the smartest Wall

555
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 2: Street investor in the history of mankind with how much

556
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 2: money she's made. So if they haven't investigated her, that's

557
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: the easy one. It's probably going to be a long

558
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: time before they get down the down the rung to

559
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: investigating ilan Omar on this.

560
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: So the Congressional Budget Office the CBO, they're projecting that

561
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: it will cost between ten and one hundred and twenty

562
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: five million dollars. That's a big difference. Ten million and

563
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five million dollars a little bit,

564
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: but that's how much it's going to cost to rebrand

565
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

566
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: And I would get that's is that just changing signs.

567
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, signs, letterhead websites, Defense dot gov, War dot gov, flags, plaques, badges,

568
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: training material, all of it. The CBO says that the

569
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: Pentagon didn't provide full info, so the costs are uncertain.

570
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: That's why it's between ten and one hundred and twenty

571
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: five million.

572
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: How would you feel, Let's let's bring this back to

573
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 2: something we were talking about earlier and me and my

574
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 2: sports gambling.

575
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 3: How would you feel if I said, I'm going to

576
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: bet on the.

577
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 2: Indiana Hoosiers National Championship game, but I'm gonna bet somewhere

578
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: between ten dollars and ten thousand dollars.

579
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: I fort you to narrow it down.

580
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 3: Just of course you'd want me to narrow it down

581
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 3: a little bit.

582
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,239
Speaker 2: But if I'm the federal government, I can sit here

583
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: and say, well, I don't have a problem gambling.

584
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna bet.

585
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 2: You know, anywhere between ten dollars and ten thousand dollars

586
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: could be ten dollars might just be ten dollars.

587
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:26,479
Speaker 3: We don't know.

588
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: So you've got Senator Jeff Merkley. He said that Trump

589
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: can't just rename the DoD without congressional approval, and he

590
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: said that it's performative government. Donald Trump's been talking about

591
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: this for a long time, that it's a Department of War.

592
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is performative because it is just branding.

593
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 2: Nothing else is changing as part of it except for

594
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 2: the name of the entity. Yes, of course that is

595
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: by definition performative. Doesn't mean it's bad, doesn't mean it's wrong.

596
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 2: Do I like the fact that we might spend one

597
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five million. And by the way, when

598
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: the government says it's going to cost between ten and

599
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 2: twenty five you know how much it's going to cost

600
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: three hundred million dollars. It's going to cost double on

601
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 2: their nine.

602
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: Say, we were off just a little bit, just a.

603
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: Little bit, but we got started, and we can't stop

604
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 2: now because we'd be wasting. We got to finish it.

605
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's going to be twice as much as

606
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: the high end that I thought. But when the government

607
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 2: says between ten million and one hundred and twenty five million,

608
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 2: you know, lock your wallet up.

609
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: Another thing coming out of the Pentagon is they have

610
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: announced that Stars and Stripes will now focus on reporting

611
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: for war fighters and no longer include what it calls

612
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: woke distractions. Half the content is going to be written

613
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: by active duty service members and material from AP or

614
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: reuters will be dropped.

615
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 2: Now again probably, I mean, if you want to call

616
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: this performative, you could call it performative as well, but

617
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean that it doesn't have value. I think

618
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: there's value here that if Stars and Stripes had turned into,

619
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: you know, another liberal media entity within the Department of

620
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: War now, then absolutely they should be making changes to it.

621
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 2: And I love the fact that they're going to have

622
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: some actual men and women serving on the front line

623
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: that they'll be writing articles in this piece.

624
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: So they do have some social media and their posts

625
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: have gone away from general news or Washington d C

626
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: reporting and outside news sources, and instead the Pentagon now

627
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: wants them to concentrate on war fighting, weapons, fitness, and

628
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: other military focused topics. So it's going to become more

629
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: like a newsletter for those in the service than any

630
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: sort of general newspaper.

631
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 2: And it sounds like they'll have more first person accounts

632
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: of men and women on the front lines as opposed

633
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 2: to just kind of repurposing stories that were done by

634
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: Reuters and associated press. Right, it's just going to have

635
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: people talking about, Hey, what's it like being a member

636
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: of the military and what your daily life look like

637
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 2: in writing articles associated with that.

638
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: So service members writing for service members sounds like.

639
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: It might be a pretty good business move on all

640
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: of this, or at least something that might be more

641
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 2: interesting to people that serve in the armed forces.

642
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: So Stars and Stripes has been a military focused newspaper

643
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: since the Civil War and reporting has continued since then.

644
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: Since World War Two, it's been NonStop. Okay, so what

645
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: else do we have here? We've got mortgage rates, Indiana

646
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: Housing Market twenty twenty six, lower rates, tough competition, so

647
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: this is kind of interesting. There's two reports that have

648
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: come out. The National Association of Realtors has named Indianapolis

649
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: one of the top ten home buying hotspots for twenty

650
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: six and they cite low rates and large inventory. But

651
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: then you have this other report coming out from Zillo

652
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: saying that nearly half forty eight point seven percent of

653
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: Indianapolis homes have lost value year over year.

654
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 2: You've always got to be careful about real life state

655
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: news when it's released because some of it really only

656
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: is relating to the business of real estate.

657
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's the reason why it's a hotspot, or

658
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 3: it could be.

659
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: Could be a hotspot because the price has gone places

660
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: are going down exactly.

661
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 3: So it always depends on the perspective.

662
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: You'll hear this story a lot that the National Association

663
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: of Realtors say, you know, home sales, the number of

664
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: home sales is the worst we've seen in a generation. Well,

665
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 2: if I'm a homeowner, I don't care that there haven't

666
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: been few sales. I care whether or not my home

667
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: is worth more today or less today than it was before.

668
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: And if I'm a home buyer, I don't care about

669
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 2: the volume of sales that only directly impacts people who

670
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: are in the real estate business and handering you know,

671
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: titles and mortgages. If I'm a consumer, all I really

672
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: care about is if I own a home.

673
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 3: Is it worth more today than it was yesterday? Or

674
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: is it worth less?

675
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 2: And if I'm looking to buy a home, what's out

676
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 2: there available for me to purchase?

677
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: And can I afford it?

678
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: So the average time, the median time that a home

679
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: in Indiana, Indianapolis is spending on the market, they're saying,

680
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: is thirty one days, and the average nationally is fifty

681
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: one days. So they are turning over quicker. They said

682
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: that the average sales price of a home in Indianapolis,

683
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: and this is going to November of this past year,

684
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty five thousand dollars, and that is

685
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: below the national median price, which is four hundred and

686
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: thirty three thousand dollars.

687
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 2: And not a surprise that they're talking about, you know,

688
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 2: home prices declining in Indianapolis. Indianapolis had a pretty strong

689
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 2: run up in home prices over the last five six

690
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 2: seven years. Now, not as much as you know, Las

691
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 2: Vegas and Phoenix and Tampa, but for a Midwest city,

692
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 2: we were one of the fastest growing cities as far

693
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 2: as home pricing goes. But what happens when you get

694
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: that huge run up in pricing in previous years is

695
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: eventually the market's going to correct yourself, correct itself, and

696
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 2: we're going to see a drop off in prices. And

697
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 2: it sounds like that's what we're that's what we're sitting

698
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: in right now, and yeah, that average home price is

699
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: a good bit below the national average.

700
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: They're comparing Indianapolis to Columbus and also Canis City, and

701
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: they say that Metro Indy currently has twenty six percent

702
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: more sellers than buyers, So it is currently a home

703
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: buyer's market.

704
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 3: It's a home buyer's market. When have we been able

705
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 3: to say that.

706
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: It's been years since we've been able to say that

707
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: here in central Indiana that it's a buyer's market. But

708
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: we're officially in it right now.

709
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: We are officially in it. And this is the Kendall

710
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: and Casey Show. It's ninety three wibc hey gas Buddy

711
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: saying that the average gas price in Indiana fallen nearly

712
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: fifteen cents per gallon in the past week. The average

713
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: state price two dollars and sixty three cents.

714
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see that if you as you drive around,

715
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 2: I mean, gas prices have come down.

716
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 6: Now.

717
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 2: I haven't seen this in the state of Indiana, but

718
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: I have seen some posts on social media. I think

719
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 2: one was as close as Ohio where people were taking

720
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: pictures of the price of the gas pump, and in

721
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: some of the instances it was below two dollars a gallon.

722
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, in Kentucky.

723
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: Not here in Indiana.

724
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 3: That's what I said.

725
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 2: It's not here in Indiana because, of course we have

726
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 2: one of the highest gas taxes in the entire country. Yeah,

727
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: so we're not going to have gas below two dollars

728
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 2: a gallon anytime soon. But there are other people that

729
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: live in nearby states that don't have nearly the high

730
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 2: of a gas tax as we do in Indiana that

731
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: are seeing gas prices below two dollars.

732
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: And it's interesting because the governor was just his State

733
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: of the State address, was talking about affordability was going

734
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: to be his main focus, and he is one of

735
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: those people that voted for those gas taxes. Oh and

736
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: talk of toll roads coming, so double whammy.

737
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: He's not interested in talking about the gas tax at all,

738
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 2: because I believe it was on the Kendall and Casey

739
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 2: show during his election run last year that when you

740
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: guys brought up the gas tax, he said it was

741
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: a use He said, that's a used tax. So that

742
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 2: means it's completely off the table and nothing he has

743
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 2: to think about or worry about or even discuss on

744
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 2: any level work life strain.

745
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: Okay, this is an article about gen Z. Fifty six

746
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: percent of gen Z workers say they have no life

747
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: outside of work, most getting less than an hour of

748
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: free time per day, over a third or juggling multiple jobs. Well,

749
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: no kidding, that sounds like everybody. I don't think that

750
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: that's inclusive to gen Z.

751
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 3: I think the problem is gen zg they're whining about

752
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 3: it the most.

753
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: They're whining about it the loudest, and that wasn't what

754
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 2: they expected.

755
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 3: I think they expected to just, you know.

756
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 2: Work a couple hours at a job and then have

757
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 2: the rest of the time to do whatever you want

758
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: with your life. Yeah, I know most people welcome to

759
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: the workforce. For most of modern society, when it comes

760
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 2: to their daily grind, it's you get up, you go

761
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: to work, you got a little bit of time with

762
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: your family, and then.

763
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 3: You go to sleep.

764
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, they say that they're cutting costs in drastic ways.

765
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: Let's see if you consider any of these drastics. Oh, boy,

766
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: twenty six percent are cutting their own hair.

767
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 2: Would you For guys, I don't think that's as drastic

768
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 2: For women. I think that may be more drastic, Like

769
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 2: that would have to be pretty drastic if we were

770
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 2: pension pennies, pension pennies to the point where you were

771
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: cutting your own hair.

772
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say, when was the last time I went

773
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: to a salon?

774
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 2: You don't go very often. Clearly, when was the last

775
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: time you cut your own hair?

776
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: Last week?

777
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so maybe I'm wrong about that. Yeah, that doesn't

778
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: seem that doesn't seem overly dramatic.

779
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: Okay. Fifteen percent take shorter or cold showers.

780
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 3: That is outrageous. Outrageous a cold shower?

781
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: How much this is to save money?

782
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 2: How much does it cost to heat up enough water

783
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: for a hot shower?

784
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 3: What are we talking? A dollar? Maybe seventy five cents? Now,

785
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 3: I'm not taking a cold shower. I'm not a psychopath.

786
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: Come on, percent air dry their clothes. They're not dying again?

787
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: Is a dryer again?

788
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 6: How much?

789
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: The dryer doesn't cost that much?

790
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: This is what I you know, I remember, you know,

791
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 2: there was a time, you know, during the last financial

792
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 2: crisis people.

793
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 3: Oh, turn off all your lights. They're all led bulbs.

794
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 2: I could run every light in our entire house on

795
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty five days a year, and it

796
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 2: would probably cost fifteen dollars. You're not saving a lot

797
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: of money by turning off the lights. You're not saving

798
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 2: a lot of money by taking a cold shower.

799
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: Another way that gen Z is cutting cost obviously reduce

800
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 1: grocery spending. Well, that's common across the board. That's not again,

801
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: not exclusive to gen Z.

802
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: No, but that can be impactful because obviously everybody's grocery

803
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 2: bill has gotten much more expensive and is in you know,

804
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds of dollars every month. So if you

805
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 2: can cut, you know, cut twenty thirty percent out of that,

806
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 2: now we're talking real money.

807
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: They also say that they're washing their clothes in the bathtub.

808
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 3: Because what you're going to save electricity on your washer?

809
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 3: That's insane. Again, it doesn't cost that much to run

810
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 3: a washer.

811
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: It's true.

812
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: What do you have like a wooden spoon in there

813
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 2: with your clothes in the bathtub stirring it up. Plus,

814
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 2: believe me, I don't want to see what that water

815
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 2: looks like when my closer. I'm better off not knowing

816
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 2: that my clothes are that dirty.

817
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: They're also curtailing dating and social activities because of their finance.

818
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 2: Girlfriends are expensive. It's true, I get that. Again, that

819
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 2: one is impactful. Fine, you want to curtail that girlfriend.

820
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: Having a girlfriend, that's potentially a lot of money. If

821
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 2: you want to cut it back on that to save money,

822
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 2: that can make an impact. Grocery store cutting back, Yeah,

823
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: you can make an impact on that. But washing your

824
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 2: closing the bathtub, it's insane.

825
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 1: Okay. So there's a big football game coming up on Sunday.

826
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: You're very excited about it. Yeah, Chicago Bears and the Rams.

827
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: But they have made an announcement about the national anthem.

828
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 3: This is a big deal.

829
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you've got Jim Cornelius. He's going to be

830
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: singing the national anthem at the Bears Rams Rams game

831
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: on Sundawn.

832
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 2: So if you don't know Jim Cornelius, and he sings

833
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: the national anthem at all the Chicago Blackhawks games. He's

834
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: got a very unique style. He does all the Blackhawks

835
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: home games. But now he has become so popular by

836
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 2: the way he sings at the Indy five hundred back

837
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 2: Home Again in Indiana. Sure, so now every year they

838
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 2: fly him in justicing back Home Again in Indiana. He

839
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 2: has become the national anthem for higher guy at big

840
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: events all around the country. We actually went to a

841
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 2: game and saw him sing the national anthem in person.

842
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 2: We went to a Notre Dame hockey game when they

843
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 2: were in the Frozen Four tournament one time and they

844
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 2: brought Jim brought him in. They brought Jim Cornelia's son

845
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 2: into sing the national anthem. And let me tell you,

846
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: Bears fans are hiked to the fact that he's going

847
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 2: to be singing it before the game on Sunday night.

848
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: How old do you think he is.

849
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 3: I'd say he's sixty two.

850
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: You're so close he's sixty one.

851
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he's been doing this for probably fifteen twenty

852
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 2: years where he's kind of been the national anthem guy

853
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: and he crushes it every single time.

854
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: So he always does the home games for the Blackhawks.

855
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 3: Home game for the Blackhawks, and he's been doing that

856
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 3: for decades.

857
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: He's going to be doing it for the Bears game,

858
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: and he.

859
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 2: Does it for the Bears game. And if you go

860
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: to the nighty five hundred next year, you'll be able

861
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 2: to enjoy him singing back home again in Indiana, which

862
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 2: we've seen him sing that in person a couple of

863
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: times as well.

864
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: So are you ready for a little rendition you want

865
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: to hear it?

866
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, because if you don't know what we're talking about.

867
00:39:58,440 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 2: I think we need to give people a kind of

868
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 2: a ten of what it is, because he does have

869
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 2: a very unique style. But the fans absolutely lose their

Speaker 2: right along with Jim Cornelius. And now there is a

902
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 2: concerted effort that is taking place on social media right

903
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 2: now to get NBC to air the national anthem because

904
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 2: frequently they won't air the air that. Sometimes they will

905
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 2: big ones like the super Bowl they'll air the national anthem,

906
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 2: but a lot for a lot of games they don't.

907
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 2: But there has been a concerted effort that people are,

908
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 2: you know, tweeting at and posting things on social media

909
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 2: that and NBC needs to air the national anthem.

910
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 3: They're like, get on this.

911
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: Okay, So no flyover because nobody will see it? Right?

912
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 3: Wait, why no flyover?

913
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: Do you think there'll be one?

914
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 3: It could be a flyover. Why wouldn't there be a flyover?

915
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 2: That's what That's a great thing about playing in an

916
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: open air stadium like Soldier Field.

917
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:57,480
