1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Another change coming to downtown Indianapolis. It is the Kendall

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: and Casey Show. My name is Casey, Rob Kendall, Hiss

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: the day Off, and Jim is joining me in the studio.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: So Circle Center Mall is going away, Bye bye. It's

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: being renamed too. Traction Yards is the name they came

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: up with.

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: I think when I hear the word traction I think

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 2: of like people in a hospital bed with their leg

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: up on one of those Pulley systems. Yeah, that's the

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: Maybe that's just me. I'm sure they put spent a

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: lot of time. I'm sure they focused group, did they researched,

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: the consultant, they had consultants came up. They paid a

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: lot of money for people to come up with the

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 2: name Traction Yard.

15
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

16
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: Developers say the new name reflects movement connection and the

17
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: future of downtown.

18
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 3: So this is This change is part of a six hundred.

19
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: Million dollar redevelopment project in downtown Indianapolis, and the project

20
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: will turn the old mall into an open air, mixed

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: use neighborhood. It includes shopping, restaurants, entertainment, housing offices, and

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: also public spaces.

23
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: I've seen the artist renderings, the drawings of what it's

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 2: going to look like. It's going to look it looks fabulous,

25
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: looks wonderful, and look malls as they relate to the

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: culture of our country that used to be such a

27
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: huge part of our culture. They were a great meeting space,

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: kind of the modern public square, and that's faded the

29
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: last ten or twenty years, and Circle City Mall has

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: been desolate and an embarrassment for a long time now.

31
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: So I'm glad that somebody's doing something with it and

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: improving it and hopefully making it a better place that

33
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: it will be a lot more used than what it's

34
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 2: currently being used, which is virtually not at all.

35
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: Right, So the existing glass mall, it's going to be

36
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: completely removed.

37
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: It's going to be replaced.

38
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: With outdoor trees and brick store fronts, and it's supposed

39
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: to include a four hundred thousand square foot area of retail,

40
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand square feet of office space, residential units

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: three hundred of those, and hundred thousand square feet of

42
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: outdoor public space, and it's supposed to be pedestrian friendly

43
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: with public areas. Construction's going to begin next year, and

44
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: all of the current mall tenants have to leave by

45
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: December thirty. First, the skywalk is going to be removed,

46
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: the skywalk that connects the mall to the Omni Hotel,

47
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: say goodbye to that.

48
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: It will be taken away.

49
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, But from the looks of it again back to

50
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: the artist renderings of what it to look like, it

51
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: looks like they're replacing it with like a pedestrian bridge.

52
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: And it reminded me if you've ever been to Las Vegas,

53
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: they have those pedestrian bridges over the strip, which are

54
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: these really really wide, kind of open air walkways over

55
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: the roadway, and it looked a lot like that.

56
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: So who's paying for this?

57
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 4: Well, funny you mention it, Casey, are you ready for this?

58
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: I had trouble finding it because I wanted to know

59
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: what sort of tax dollars were being used for this,

60
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: and there wasn't a whole lot of information with this

61
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: news story that came out today. So I had to

62
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 2: go back to twenty twenty three and I found an

63
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: article from IBJ that talked about Hendrix that was when

64
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: initially they came to this agreement that they were going

65
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: to be taking on this project. This agreement that was

66
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: signed by Hendrix Commercial Properties those that are developing this

67
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: This area outlines city and state incentives for the proposed project,

68
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: including at least sixty four million dollars in tax credits

69
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: and partly forgivable loans. The agreement was also signed by

70
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: Are you ready for it? The Indiana Economic Development Corporation.

71
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 4: Those guys, of course, IEDC.

72
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: If there's millions of dollars going somewhere with your tax dollars,

73
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: you can guarantee that the IEEDC is.

74
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: Attached to it.

75
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: They probably like showed up. Excuse me, I heard you're

76
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: giving away some tax money. It's the IEDC.

77
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 4: We'd like to be part of this.

78
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: Hey, can we help you give away some tax money

79
00:03:59,200 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: this corporation?

80
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 3: There are rumors that you have a boatload of money

81
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: I give out.

82
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 4: The IDC is like looking through the window.

83
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: They got their hands their face pressed against the window,

84
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: trying to look at you give away tax.

85
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: Money in there. Can we be part of this? Can

86
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: we come in? Hey guys?

87
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: Of course? Okay.

88
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: So it's gonna happen in two phases, and the first

89
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: major phase is expected to be completed by twenty twenty nine.

90
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: So goodbye Circle Center Mall and hello traction yards in

91
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: four years. You got to wonder, is the IDC and

92
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: you know the naming game, did they come up with that?

93
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: Well, if there was a lot of money spent to

94
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: come up with the name, I bet the IDC could

95
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: have thrown them a couple of bucks.

96
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 4: Right then, Like here we go, Hey, you need some

97
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: money for a name.

98
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: I need to hire a company to come up with

99
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 3: a good name.

100
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: I bet you could use some money for a consultant.

101
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 4: Ah right, let me back up this dump truck full

102
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 4: of money and you can spend it however you want.

103
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: The name is to honor Indianapolis's industrial and rail history.

104
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: That's where they came up with it. Yard.

105
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 4: I'm sure.

106
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm missing something on the name. I don't

107
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: know how traction represents the industrial and rail history, but

108
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure that's just my ignorance I have to do.

109
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: I think automatically.

110
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: I think about the traction of tires on a road

111
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: and the speedway.

112
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: I don't know that's that's a better tie that's actually

113
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: for my mind, that's actually a better tie in than

114
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: making traction associated with the railways and the industrial production.

115
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: Make traction tie into the NDY five hundred.

116
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: Donald Trump signed an executive order, and he has declared

117
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: that illicit fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction.

118
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 5: That's why today I'm taking one more step to protect

119
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 5: Americans from the scourge of deadly fentanyl flooding into our

120
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 5: country with this historic executive order I will sign today

121
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 5: for formably classifying fedl is a weapon of mass destruction,

122
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 5: which is what it is.

123
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 4: No bomb does what this is doing.

124
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 5: Two hundred to three hundred people die every year that

125
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 5: we know, so we're formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon

126
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 5: of mass destruction.

127
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: So the order classifies fentanyl as a chemical weapon and

128
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: allows agencies to work to eliminate the threat. And it follows,

129
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: obviously the target of the drug vessels near Venezuela. Earlier

130
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: this year, Trump designated eight drug cartels as global terrorist organizations,

131
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: and the order warns fentanyl could be used in larger

132
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: scale terror attacks. The Attorney General Pam Bondi has to

133
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: pursue investigations and prosecutions about fentanyl trafficking and okay, Donald

134
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: Trump claimed that fentanyl causes between two hundred and three hundred.

135
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: Thousand deaths annually.

136
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: So this is a good thing. It's very reminiscent of

137
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: Say No to Drugs.

138
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: Right, As somebody who grew up in the eighties, all

139
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: I can think about is Nancy Reagan and say reno

140
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: to drugs and the war on drugs.

141
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 4: Remember that was H. W. Bush.

142
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: Remember he had a special broadcast to the nation in

143
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: prime time and had that big bag of crack cocaine

144
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: that was purchased right across the street from the White House.

145
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 4: And this is the war on drugs.

146
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 2: And Donald Trump just put a new name to it,

147
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: called it a weapon of mass destruction. And it's essentially

148
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: another war on drugs, a.

149
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: Little different though the it is different on drugs with

150
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: Nancy Reagan was all about cocaine and crack.

151
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: Well, and also, you know Nancy Reagan, just say no

152
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: was all about targeting the consumer.

153
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 4: Hey, the consumer, say no.

154
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: Donald Trump declaring fetanyl a weapon of mass destruction, focusing

155
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: more on the producers and the people trying to bring

156
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: them into this country as opposed to the end user.

157
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: Right.

158
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: He acknowledged that feanyl is used as a medical drug

159
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: during surgeries as well, So it's not stopping the production

160
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: of the drug, it's stopping the distribution.

161
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 4: The illegal importation of it.

162
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think is where he's going for it, and

163
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: that's why we're blowing up boats in Venezuela.

164
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: So weapons of mass destruction historically have included radiological, chemical,

165
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: and biological devices intended to harm people.

166
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 4: And that's why Trump said, hey, it's a chemical weapon.

167
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: He's trying to equate it to the same as like

168
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: saren gas or mustard gas.

169
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 4: Fentanyl's the same thing, at least in his mind.

170
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, So AES customers may face another rate increase in

171
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: the coming months, and there's been a lot of frustrations

172
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: including unexpected bill hikes, poor service. Oh, Jason Hammer loves

173
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: to talk about that, and already stretch budgets. Over five

174
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: hundred thousand Indianapolis area residents could be affected if a

175
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: rate hike is improved, and you've got a lot of

176
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: people filing opposition testimony to any increases. The Indiana Office

177
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: of Utility Consumer Counselor and also the Citizens' Action Coalition

178
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: filed this one hundred and eighty page complaint from customers,

179
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: and it highlights all that the residents can't afford the

180
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: higher bills anymore. The customers are complaining that the rate

181
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: increases are too frequent, they're unreasonable. AES profits the investors

182
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: benefit from this rather than local residents, and that electricity

183
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: is essential and any increase is going to hurt families.

184
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: It's a monopoly, is what it is.

185
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 4: It is.

186
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 2: It's a government sanctioned monopoly. And while I appreciate this

187
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: group trying to fight to keep energy cost increases in line,

188
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: we've got to have the expectation that this is just

189
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: going to continue. I mean, Mike bron just named three

190
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 2: new people to the i u r C, the Indiana

191
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: Utility Regulatory Commission Board. They are total insiders, just like

192
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: the last batch of them. As awful as it sounds,

193
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: for as much as it sucks, we just better get

194
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: used to the fact that we're just going to see

195
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: more and more and more and more rate increases coming

196
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 2: from utility companies like AEP AES.

197
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: Rather so they filed in June to raise the rates

198
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: by thirteen and a half percent over eighteen months.

199
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 2: Thirteen and a half percent, so inflation right now. Inflation

200
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: was a lot stronger in the past previous years, but

201
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: inflation right now is about three and a half percent,

202
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: about three and a half percent.

203
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 4: A year, and so over an eighteen month period.

204
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 2: If they were just to keep with inflation, that'd be

205
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: about a five percent increase, but instead as is asking

206
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 2: for more than a thirteen.

207
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 3: Percent thirteen and a half percent. Yeah.

208
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: So the next steps include rebuttals, which are due January ninth,

209
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: and then there's going to be a settlement hearing at

210
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: the end of January, and then the IURC final decision

211
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: deadline isn't until June of next year. And speaking of

212
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: the IURC, you've got Senator andy Z who has resigned

213
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: his office as senator because he has been named as

214
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: one of the IURC people.

215
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 4: What are we got?

216
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: Andy Z, state senator here in Indiana, was the gentleman

217
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: that had made it his personal life mission to have

218
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: the pork tenderloin sandwich officially declared the state sandwich of

219
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: the state of Indiana. Now that he's no longer a

220
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: state senator, I don't think he's gonna have much influence

221
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: on the iur C to get that resolution passed. Who

222
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: will take up the mantle and champion the tenderloin pork

223
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: sandwich in the state House going forward? It's going to

224
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: do These are the important questions we need to get

225
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: on this right now, stop everything else we're doing and

226
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: find somebody that can carry the flag for the pork

227
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: tenderloin sandwich.

228
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Senator andy's A he authored Senate Bill twenty one

229
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: to make it official, and the bill had its first

230
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: reading in the Indiana Senate was then set to a committee.

231
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: It's not his first attempt, though, he's been at this

232
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: for a while.

233
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 4: To try and get on the IRC NO to have.

234
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: The bretted pork tender loin as the official sandwich of Indiana.

235
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 3: Now here's the thing. If he puts as much passion.

236
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: And fervor into lowering our utility rates, I think will

237
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: be okay.

238
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 4: That is an outstanding point.

239
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: You know he's been putting He has attempted to make

240
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: this sandwich the official Indiana sandwich since twenty twenty three.

241
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: He's been at this for two and a half years.

242
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: So now every time that we see talk of a

243
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: utility rate increase, now that Senator former Senator Andy J.

244
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 2: A is now on the IURC board, that's the question

245
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 2: we've got to ask him. Hey, I know you're pushing

246
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 2: for a thirteen percent you know, utility increase with AAES.

247
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: Why aren't you fighting to keep those rates in check

248
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: as hard as you fought to make the pork tenderloin

249
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: the state sandwich. Yeah, that's a that's a completely reasonable question,

250
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: because that's really all. As far as I know, State

251
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: Senator Andy j is known for the champion of the

252
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: India of the pork tenderloin sandwich.

253
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: If it's approved, the law would designate the sandwich made

254
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: from Indiana raised pork as the official state sandwich, effective

255
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: July first of twenty twenty six.

256
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: That's what all.

257
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 3: Wou't you celebrating in advance? Okay, not till July first.

258
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: If June twenty twenty six, you can have barbecue pork,

259
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 2: you can have a blt, you can have a club

260
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: sandwich and call the state sandwich. But not until July first,

261
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. That's even if it passes, still hasn't

262
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: passed me. And don't make any mistake I have.

263
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 4: I love a pork tenderloin sandwich. They're delicious.

264
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: I love how they're you know, it's taking like the

265
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: size of a manhole sitting on a little hot a

266
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: little hamburger. But I love everything about it. But our

267
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: senators and people in the state House should not be

268
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: focusing this much time on a resolution that is just

269
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: ceremonial and really means not a priority.

270
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 4: Not a priority. It doesn't help your life, No, it doesn't.

271
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 2: If I want a pork tender loin sandwich, I can

272
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: go get a pork tenderloin sandwich anytime, and I can

273
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: personally declare it as the state sandwich of Indiana. I

274
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 2: don't need a resolution from the state House to do it.

275
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Kennelly Casey Show. It is ninety three.

276
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: WYBC Media I came out with their list of the

277
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: most influential in news media twenty twenty five. Post election

278
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: media shifts years after a presidential election often big changes

279
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: in the media. New correspondence, departing anchors, editorial shifts, rebrands,

280
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: reinventions of personalities, all of it. And they said that

281
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five was transformative. You had major cable news rebrandings,

282
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: you had leadership changes at top outlets, and you also

283
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: had the emergence.

284
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: Of new media figures.

285
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: And that is what will define media in twenty twenty five.

286
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: I think twenty twenty five to me will be defined.

287
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 3: As the year of the influencer.

288
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: The social media influencer, and ironically on their list.

289
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: They don't mention social media influence.

290
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's really surprising. So Mediaite is it's a website.

291
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: It was started by and so I think it's still

292
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: owned by Dan Abrams, who was on CNN and MSNBC

293
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: for a long time, still shows up on Fox News

294
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: and what is designed to cover the media. And they

295
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: put out this list of their I think it was

296
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: like seventy five or the top seventy five or one

297
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 2: hundred most influential people in news media. And yeah, I

298
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: took a look at the top ones and you would say, oh,

299
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: maybe Joe Rogan is on there, maybe you know, Megan

300
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: Kelly should be certainly high up there. I was really

301
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: shocked and surprised that at least for the top five,

302
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: they were all tried in traditional old school media people.

303
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: That were on the line app So it is the

304
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: list of the top seventy five.

305
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: That's way too long of a list for us to discuss.

306
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 4: So we'll go into we'll.

307
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: Just fast forward to the top five and starting at

308
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: number five, they have David Muir at number five. Of course,

309
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: he's the anchor of ABC's World News Tonight.

310
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: A little bit of a surprise that somebody who anchors

311
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: what is you know, lost an incredible amount of influence

312
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: the nightly news on a major network is sitting there

313
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: at top five.

314
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a surprise.

315
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: At number four, they have Suzanne Scott. Now she is

316
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: on She's the CEO of Fox News since twenty eighteen.

317
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 3: And so they're not just keeping this to anchors.

318
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, there can be executives and media companies. And this

319
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: one makes a little bit more sense. I mean, Fox

320
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: Mooton News is still a massive, dominant media outlet, controls

321
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: a lot of the narrative, and she's the CEO of

322
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: the organization. She's not just hosting one show. Makes sense

323
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: for her to be on there. I get that one.

324
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: Now, you mentioned number three three on their list as

325
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: the top most influential news media people of twenty twenty five,

326
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: Megan Kelly, and she sits in the third spot.

327
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: And what is And you may think, well, that's kind

328
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: of you know, Megan Kelly. She's obviously got her YouTube

329
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: show and she streams her show every single day. What really,

330
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: the real reason why Megan Kelly is in the top

331
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: five is more than that. She's built out an entire

332
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 2: network former OK Media. Yeah, and so she has an

333
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: entire network of podcasts and live stream shows that are

334
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: part of this. And it's not just hers her right,

335
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: So Mark Alpern is one of her Mark Alprin former

336
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: ABC News to List for decades, very well known, very

337
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 2: respected person. He now has his own show on the

338
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: Megan Kelly Network. There's a lot of people that are

339
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 2: now showing up. So it's beyond just the Megan Kelly Show.

340
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: She now operates this company that runs an entire network

341
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 2: with all these different hosts.

342
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 4: Makes sense for her to be there in the number

343
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 4: two spot.

344
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: They have Joe and Mika.

345
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm shocked.

346
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: By this one, absolutely blown away that they would list

347
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: these two at number two. You know, for somebody that

348
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: works in media consumes it all day every day, you

349
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 2: really don't hear them being talked about that much more

350
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: certainly not. And I mean they were kind of had

351
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 2: a little bit of line light around the election time

352
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 2: and how they went and you know, groveled at you know,

353
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's feed after he won the election. Okay, fine,

354
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: but to have them and sit there that they're like

355
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 2: the number two ranked most influential people in media just

356
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: seems way way off base.

357
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: And the number one spot they give it to multiple people,

358
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: it is The Five again, Fox, Jesse Waters, Greg Guttfeld,

359
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: Dana Perino, Jessica Tarlov, and Harold Ford Jr.

360
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: And I have at least a little bit of respect

361
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: on this one because at least The Five is kind

362
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: of innovating and doing something new. They kind of took

363
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 2: a mash up of the late night talk show model

364
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: and then the typical political roundtable model and combined it

365
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: into one fairly innovative, did a pretty good job with that.

366
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: I still think to call them the most influential news

367
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: media people in twenty twenty five still continues to seem

368
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 2: like a bit of a stretch.

369
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: Well, they do get a lot of ratings, very high rating,

370
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: so maybe most viewed, maybe not most influential. I get it,

371
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: but still I don't know what their criteria was.

372
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: So when you look at the type of numbers that

373
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 2: people are doing on their YouTube shows, whether it's Joe

374
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: Rogan or Theo Vaughn, and I want to sit here

375
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: and say that those two because primarily they're not news

376
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 2: media based. They do talk about it, but they're more

377
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 2: pop culture based. But the type of numbers that even

378
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: David Muir or the Five on Fox News are doing

379
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: are nothing compared to what the kind of downloads that

380
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: people are getting on podcasts and YouTube live streams.

381
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: Was Joe Rogan on the list?

382
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan was number fIF team Okay, so that kind

383
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: of like six to fifteen is where you're seeing a

384
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 2: lot more of the non traditionals. Joe Rogan was number fifteen.

385
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 2: I thought it was very interesting that Stephen A. Smith

386
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: was number twelve. He's traditionally been a sports commentator and

387
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: has now you know, moved himself into the political sphere

388
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: of things. The Midas Touch podcast was listed at number eleven,

389
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: so it was kind of that second tier that had

390
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: most of those YouTube stars and those social media influencers,

391
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 2: going back.

392
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: To the five, which Media I has named as the

393
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: most influential news programs.

394
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 3: So the show began in twenty seventeen, and I would have.

395
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: Loved to have been a fly on the wall during

396
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: that meeting, because you know, they're putting Jesse Waters in

397
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: there with Greg Guttfeld and both commentators who really rely

398
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: on sarcasm heavily, and so you have to wonder where

399
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: the program directors thinking is this going to work as

400
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: a show?

401
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 3: How do we do this? All they really needed.

402
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: To do was look at wibc's Hammer and Nigel show

403
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: to know that, yes, that would be a resounding success

404
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: when you put average people together who are talking like

405
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: average you know, normal people about normal things.

406
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 2: And I think that's a lot of the appeal of

407
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: The Five on Fox News is it is just it's

408
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 2: like sitting around a table with like three or four

409
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 2: of your friends and having this conversation, and it doesn't

410
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: have that traditional like David Muir, for example, right in

411
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: the I'm wearing the suit and tie, and I'm in

412
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 2: the big, fancy studio and I'm going to deliver you

413
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: the hard news here in the traditional way, just like

414
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 2: just like Kronkite did it in the sixties.

415
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 4: No, but I think that's a lot of the appeal

416
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 4: of what The Five does on Fox.

417
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: Well. I think it's a nice balance too, because they've

418
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: gotten Dana Perino in there, you know, former White House

419
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: spokesperson and Greg Gettfeldt does bring it down a little

420
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: bit more casual. He's not there with the suit and tie.

421
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: He's he's wearing his coalhn shoes and a sweater.

422
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 4: Yeah it is.

423
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: It is much more casual, much more approachable, much more relatable.

424
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 2: And again, to give them credit, they're blowing the doors

425
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: off as far as ratings are concerned against the late

426
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 2: night talk show host with Fallon and Kimmel and Seth Myers.

427
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're listening to the Kendall and Casey Show. It

428
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: is ninety three WYBC.

429
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 4: I believe it was Ray.

430
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: Davies from The Kinks who said, we're back where we

431
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: started here.

432
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 3: We go round again, very nice. Yes day after day,

433
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: I get up and I say, We're going to do

434
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 3: it again.

435
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 4: Do it again, Do it again, Do it again, do

436
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 4: it again.

437
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 3: And is that what Kamala Harris is saying.

438
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 4: I think she is.

439
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 3: We're going to do it again, do it again.

440
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 4: Did you miss me?

441
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: Yeah? How can I miss you if you don't go away?

442
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about this yesterday with Ethan

443
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: when he was filling in. It is the Kendall and

444
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: Casey Show. My name is Casey. That is Jim who

445
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: is in for Rob Kendall.

446
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 3: Today.

447
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris making her intentions known that she is intending

448
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: to possibly run again in another presidential campaign. Is she

449
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: viable again. She needs more than one hundred and seven days.

450
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: Who in their right mind talked Kamala Harris into, Hey,

451
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: you know what we should do. We should leak it

452
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: to the media that you're thinking about running again, because

453
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: that'll get people excited about it. We'll start to build

454
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: momentum right now for twenty twenty eight.

455
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, she does remain near the top of early Democratic

456
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: primary polls, and she is getting support from some people.

457
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: She appeared at a DNC winter meeting in Los Angeles,

458
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: and she was mingling with some party leaders, you know,

459
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: making her face be seen. She was out there hobnobin

460
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: I drubbing shoulders, doing the thing.

461
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: I cannot see a scenario where Kamala Harris is actually

462
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: in the running for the nomination come primary season in

463
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. I just and this is nothing necessarily

464
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 2: I should say. Yeah, part of this is about Kamala

465
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 2: Harris as a candidate, but also a lunch part of

466
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: it is just the way political cycles work. When you

467
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 2: lose a presidential election, your party doesn't give you another shot.

468
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 2: Al Gore never got another shot. Michael Dukakus never got

469
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: another shot. John McCain, Mitt Romney you lose a presidential election,

470
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 2: you don't get another shot. Of course, the rare excemption

471
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: is Donald Trump. But you can never look to Donald

472
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 2: Trump because he's such an outlier and has done things

473
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 2: in differently reasonable people can't expect this. There's just no

474
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: way that the Democrat Party. Look, most of the Democrat

475
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: Party didn't want her in the first place, running against Trump.

476
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: She was installed, you know, by Obama and Pelosi and

477
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: Schumer and even they were kind of you know, turning

478
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 2: their nose up and plugging their nose and going, I

479
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 2: guess this is what we got to do. Now, there's

480
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: no scenario where Kamala is seriously in the running. Come

481
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: primary season twenty twenty.

482
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: Eight, You've got some polls that Shoe Harris is leading

483
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: Newsome nationally. In New Hampshire, she trails both Newsom and

484
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: Pete Boodha Judge. His is a name that keeps coming

485
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: back round and round.

486
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: Here we go around again.

487
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: And let's keep in mind that Ron DeSantis was leading

488
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 2: in the Republican polls in twenty twenty two when Donald

489
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 2: Trump was at his lowest, and obviously that primary wasn't

490
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 2: even close.

491
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 4: So poles are a snapshot in time, and here we

492
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 4: are a couple of years out.

493
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 2: There's going to be reasonable candidates that will show up,

494
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: and Kamala's name will get way down the list.

495
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: You think, so, reasonable candidates like Gavin Newsom or JB.

496
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: Pritzker, reasonable candidates from a Democrat party perspective.

497
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: So those two guys are positioning themselves for twenty eight.

498
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: Less prominent though, at the DNC meeting. But here is

499
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: Kamala Harrison. She thinks she's brilliant.

500
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 3: Check this out. That is a decent but that is

501
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 3: a decent resume. But go ahead there.

502
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 4: Well, some people have actually said I was the most

503
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 4: qualified candidate ever to run for pressure. Yeah.

504
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: Sure, some people, some people like her husband, right, her kids,

505
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: who said that that she was the most qualified president history.

506
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 2: Reminds me of that classic line for Trump. Well, some

507
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 2: people say I'm the greatest president of all time. I

508
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 2: don't know if they're right. They might be right, They're

509
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: probably right.

510
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 3: Probably.

511
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: FDA has approved a new drug. You brought this to

512
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: my attention. Do we need to have a conversation about this?

513
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,959
Speaker 3: Sure, let's do it live on the radio.

514
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 4: Let's do it.

515
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 3: Why not?

516
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: The FDA has expanded Abdi's am I saying that right.

517
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 2: I have no idea how to pronounce any of these drugs.

518
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 2: I still think I'm pronouncing the GOVI wrong.

519
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 3: Ati I.

520
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: It is a libido boosting pill, hey now, and it

521
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: is for premenopausal or postmenopausal women. Yeah, up to the

522
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: age of sixty five. Apparently this pill will affect brain

523
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: chemicals link to mood and appetites.

524
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: It is about time here we are we put It's

525
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: been what how many years since we put a man

526
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 2: on the moon, but just now we're finally getting a

527
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 2: pill to make women horny.

528
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 4: Finally, finally. How can we do this?

529
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm glad that it's gotten this far, but

530
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 2: when is it going to be available over the counter?

531
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 4: Oh tc, oh tc. They should just start handing them

532
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 4: out on the streets.

533
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

534
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: It has a boxed warning on it against alcohol use,

535
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: because it says that it could lower your blood pressure

536
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: to a dangerous point. Some of the side effects include

537
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: dizziness and nauschaft.

538
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 4: By the way, she'll be fine, Wow, she'll be fine.

539
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: Come on, So sales, I guess fell short of expectations

540
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: on this. There was one that was approved back in

541
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen a different name, and it was an injection.

542
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: Okay, So I get that. Okay, a needle. Can you

543
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,959
Speaker 2: imagine trying to sell that? Hey, babe, how you doing tonight?

544
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: You want to, you know, take this upstairs, but first

545
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 2: let me get out the hyper hypodermic needles and the

546
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 2: alcohol swabs. Yeah, yeah, I can see how an injection

547
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 2: may maybe a little bit of a turn, I may

548
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: kind of kill the.

549
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 3: Mood a little bit, just a little bit.

550
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 2: But if we can get in a pill form, now

551
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 2: we're talking finally making progress.

552
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 3: Yeah.

553
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: They're saying that this is an advocacy campaign highlighting the

554
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: female libido as part of a women's.

555
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 2: Health issue, an advocacy campaign. I wonder who is behind that.

556
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 4: I know who is behind that.

557
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 3: What happened in that meeting?

558
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 2: Hey, we need, we need, we need over here, we

559
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 2: need a pill that makes women a little bit more interested.

560
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 2: How can we put together a group of people that

561
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 2: will lobby for this in the pharmaceutical industry and get

562
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: some drug company to start manufacturing one of.

563
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 4: Great story?

564
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 3: You know what?

565
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: You know what other meeting which it would have always

566
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: fascinated me, was the Pironi's disease meeting.

567
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 3: I'm not going to tell you what it is. Just

568
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 3: look it up on your own.

569
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: There was a very interesting commercial for that, uh that

570
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 2: that carrot dot com was their website.

571
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: I mean, like what goes on in that drug manufacturer's meeting?

572
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 3: Hey, you know what, this is an issue? Sure it is.

573
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 2: Look, there are a lot of problems in this world

574
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: from a medical standpoint, okay, and they all are important,

575
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 2: but none of them are as important about this low

576
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 2: libido problem that women are having and the pharmaceutic pharmaceutical

577
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: pills that are that are being coming to market to address.

578
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 3: You know, honestly, I'm surprised that it hasn't come out sooner.

579
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 4: We've been trying. You women are tough to crack. You're

580
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 4: hard to figure out.

581
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: Okay. Science has been behind this for decades. Finally medical breakthrough.

582
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 4: What a great day. So we're so back. Baby.

583
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: Indie Star put out this article. I thought it was

584
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: a little interesting. You bring the FDA Okay's libido boosting

585
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: pill article too.

586
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I brought that to the show today, and.

587
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 3: I bring the owl nesting boxes.

588
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 4: Boo. Okay, So there's actually this is actually pretty cool too.

589
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 4: See you like it. I mean it's not as good

590
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 4: as the Morning Women pill. But this is a pretty

591
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 4: good story.

592
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: Man made owl boxes provide safe places for owls to roost, nest,

593
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: and survive harsh winter conditions, especially as natural tree areas

594
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: are limited and compete with out their animals like squirrels

595
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: and raccoons.

596
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: This is one of those stories. It was like, hey,

597
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 2: do you ever want owls in your backyard? And I

598
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,719
Speaker 2: read the headline was like, no, I don't want owls

599
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: in my backyard. I read the story. I want owls

600
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: in my backyard. Now I want owls in my backyard.

601
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 3: Barn owl, the eastern screech owl, I'll take them all.

602
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 3: Uh huh, a barred owl. Wow, you need to build

603
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: these boxes. And if you want owls in your yard.

604
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: They're saying that winter is the ideal time to build

605
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: them and place them because owls are seeking winter roosts.

606
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: I have been so several years ago, you and I

607
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: went on vacation and we did this falconry experience. It

608
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 2: was in Colorado when we were out there and they

609
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: you know, have falcons on people's arms and they fly

610
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 2: away and they get the meat and then they fly

611
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 2: back and it was so cool. But part of that

612
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 2: was we got to see all these owls that they

613
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 2: have at this sanctuary, and we were in an enclosed room.

614
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 4: They had this owl. This thing had to be three.

615
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 2: Feet tall and h At one point they gave it

616
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: the command to fly from one end of the room

617
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 2: to the other, so it starts flying for starters. The

618
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: wingspan on this thing was absolutely massive, but when it

619
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: flapped its wings, it created I mean it felt like

620
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: somebody turned a fan on in.

621
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 4: The room they were in. It created all this wind

622
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 4: around there.

623
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 2: So ever since then, I've been a big fan of owls,

624
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: and now I know how to build an owl box.

625
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 4: Yes that what they're an owl box from my backyard

626
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 4: to attract owls. That's better than a bird feeder.

627
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: I don't need some sparrows or blue jay splashing around

628
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: in some water back there. I'm gonna see like a

629
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: three foot owl sitting on my backyard fence.

630
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 4: Now I'm down with except for.

631
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,040

00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: from twenty twenty, and it's definitely outpacing the twenty five

681
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,200

688
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: us for a year and a half or so.

689
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: Right, it does keep for quite a while.

690
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: But when all of these cookie ingredients are up thirty

691
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: two percent while general inflation is less than that, yeah,

692
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,080

698
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:33,839
