1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Two words, nudge downtown casino.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: Man. Okay, what we kind of mentioned this a little

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: bit why you were gone last week.

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: And I've got an update on that because I heard

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: that segment and I was laying on the beach listening.

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 2: To Okay, oh really laying on the beach listening to

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: the Okay, what's the update, because I just I can't

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: see it happening.

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: Well, first, let's reset. Okay, So this study came out

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: last week. Uh, the Indiana Gaming Commission identified downtown Indy

11
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: as a top location where a relocated casino could go

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: to a relocated license. So the update is, according to

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: the IBJ, this might have come because Boss hog Set

14
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: really wants that soccer stadium in town, and they're thinking

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: that a casino downtown Indy, if they doctor the tax

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: revenue the right way, would pay for not only upgrades

17
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: to Lucas Oil Stadium, but would fund the soccer stadium

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: as well. Because Boss hogg Set he's got a you

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: know what for trying to get this soccer thing rolling,

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: because he wants to have some sort of legacy in

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: this city that doesn't involve potential trips to rehab and

22
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: slurring a speech. So he's all in on this professional

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: soccer league team, but it sounds like right now he's

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: having a hard time finding backers to build a stadium,

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: and there probably won't be a lot of support from

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: the public in terms of public money. So this is

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: probably where the pressure's coming from. According to the IPIBJ,

28
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: tax revenue from a new casino downtown would pay for

29
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: potential upgrades to Lucas Oil Stadium and the soccer stadium.

30
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so what about the horse track. Who's your parking

31
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: Anderson in the Horseshoe in Shelbyville.

32
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: So here's where they're going to be at here one

33
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: of them transfers their license, which that's what it would take,

34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: whether it's Shelbyville or Anderson, maybe both, it's the same ownership.

35
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: That's a lot of legal stuff right there. But if not,

36
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: those horse racing tracks, they're going to lose a lot

37
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: of money because Indianapolis residents, they're the ones that predominantly

38
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: go to Shelbyville and Anderson. When those places first opened up,

39
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: they were taxed through the roof by the state of Indiana.

40
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: Because all of the casino gaming lobbyists that work with

41
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: the river boats and everybody at North said, hey, wait

42
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: a minute here, nobody if am Indy's going to come

43
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: down here, if they can just go to these places,

44
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: that's why they were taxed to hell and both of

45
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: them had to go through Chapter eleven. There was no

46
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: way those places were going to pull the numbers these

47
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: lawmakers thought they were going to pull. I was there

48
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: in Shelbyville working when they went through their bankruptcy hearing,

49
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: and it wasn't because they weren't successful. But the idiots

50
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: that put the tax plan together thought it was going

51
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: to look like Times Square New Year's Eve, three hundred

52
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: and sixty five days a year. And I got news

53
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: for you Wednesday night at Shelbyville at one in the morning.

54
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: Does it look like that?

55
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: Hey, you work there, you would know, right.

56
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: So that's what's gonna be interesting. Either the horse tracks

57
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: Anderson and Shelbyville just hemorrhage money and lose anywhere from

58
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: like ten to seventeen million dollars a year, or they

59
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: find a way to try to transfer that license to Indianapolis. Gotcha,

60
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: that's the update.

61
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

62
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: But this all reeks of boss hawk Set. That's why

63
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm a little leary nobody wants a downtown casino, probably

64
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: more than I do. But I'm a little leary from

65
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: the fine people that bring you government funded hotel, letting

66
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: them get involved in something else down Hey man, I

67
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: walked right past that thing to the cold tailgate last Sunday.

68
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: That's it's looking mighty fine. It's going up at a

69
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: rapid pace, right and listen, I gotta say something here.

70
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: Out on Monument Circle, it looked like they might be

71
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: almost done with the steps. I was going to say,

72
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: because they got to be done before the Thanksgiving day,

73
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: you know, Christmas tree lighting.

74
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: Right right, I don't see the portal lets anymore. I

75
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: don't see the tent that was just moving from side

76
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: to side, the trash can that had been there for months.

77
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: It's all gone right now, So we'll see what happens
