1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: We're about to teach the Indiana Secretary of State. It's

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: a little lesson in transparency. I'm so excited about this.

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: This is going to be an amazing segment and we'll

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: learn about what happened to the White House moving good

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: for everyone, right, yeah, all right, it's Kettley Casey Show.

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm Rob Casey's here. Look who it is, our old

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: pal Indiana state representative. He represents Indianapolis. Andrew Ireland. Andrew Ireland, Hello,

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: good morning, good to be with you.

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 2: Now.

10
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: It's not often, look, I give a lot for this show, Casey,

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: and sometimes I have to put myself in a bad

12
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: position in order to do something great for the radio broadcast.

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: It is not often somebody gets a one up on

14
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: me on social media. But I said, if you're going

15
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 1: to do that, you win. But let's get something good

16
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: out of it. So Andrew was a part of the

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: group that went to DC and there was several articles

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: written about how a lot of these people were probably

19
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: going to put that tab on us, the taxpair, and

20
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: he had posted several photos looking wonderful like a million

21
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: damn dollars like he always does, and I just see

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: I said something the FACTI I said you could have

23
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 1: thanked the taxpayers, and then to shade to you, you responded,

24
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: smooch both of my butt cheeks a hole. I paid

25
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: for this myself, right, And I said, okay, well done,

26
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: And then you reached out and said, I'd be happy

27
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: to show everybody how transparency works and bring all of

28
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: my receipts.

29
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right.

30
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: Now, before we get to the receipts, I do want

31
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: to ask you you did have the opportunity to have

32
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: it taxpayer funded.

33
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: I think that's right. I think typically it's one policy

34
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: related event per year that reasonable expenses can be reimburse

35
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: whether that's a conference or trip in the White House,

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 3: whatever it may be. If it's policy focused, not political,

37
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: then yeah you could.

38
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: You could have done it, but you chose not to.

39
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: Why.

40
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 3: You know, typically, if I can pay for it myself,

41
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,279
Speaker 3: I do well my own you know, kind of private practice.

42
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: It's an attorney. But I don't really see any reason

43
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 3: to put that on the taxpayer's dime if I don't

44
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 3: need to.

45
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we do give you money, right your kitchen.

46
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: That's absolutely right. Yeah, okay, So before we get to

47
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: their seats, because this is hilarious tell us about the trip,

48
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: and one of the things that you'd pointed out is, Hey,

49
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: they asked us to go away before the redistricting. I

50
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: think you guys, you guys being the Republicans, have done

51
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: a horrible job of giving information to the public about

52
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: what exactly you were doing there, because all the story

53
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: now centers around the redistricting stuff.

54
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you I always try to be very transparent.

55
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: It's one of the reasons I'm here today right is

56
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you see all the

57
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: reporting in the news and the kind of hyperventilating about

58
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: what this was about. And no, you know, you must

59
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: have been sitting down with the President for ten hours

60
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: and they're, you know, trying to twist your arm. The

61
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 3: reality is it wasn't. We've had an invite since sometime

62
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 3: men late July to come out to the White House

63
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 3: and that was before JD.

64
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: Vans came here to India.

65
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: Well before JD. Vans ever came to Indiana. Redistricting really

66
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 3: became a conversation here in Indiana. So I just want

67
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: to make clear on that.

68
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: How does the invite work? Do you get like a

69
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: nice card in the mail? Does Houston, like send out

70
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: a group email, like how does the invite actually work?

71
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: So actually get out an invitation by email from the

72
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: White House.

73
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: So you don't think it was like one of those

74
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: click here and then you end up giving money to

75
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: a nice print. Yeah no, but it's a real or not.

76
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: I actually thought the same thing the first time I

77
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 3: saw that, I said, what is that? And you know,

78
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: I assumed that it was some sort of junk spam mail.

79
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: Then somebody else sent me a text message about it,

80
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: and I go, oh, okay, maybe that is real.

81
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: So it's very cool. So tell us about the meeting,

82
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: like you guys did You did talk about redistricting, so

83
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: there was a very small piece of it, I will say.

84
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: So I were there for an entire day to you

85
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 3: kind of the normal tour that everybody else in the

86
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: world can take if you can get scheduled at the

87
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: White House. You touch things, you know, they actually they

88
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: told you don't touch The wall in the Red room

89
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 3: was the big thing.

90
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: It's made up that you took the East Wing tour.

91
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: It took the East Wing tour, so you know, the

92
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: same thing that anybody else can do through the cold.

93
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: I've never been in the White House very excited about that,

94
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: and then the afternoon was all policy focused, met with

95
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: people you know throughout the White House. You gave like

96
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: very specific proposals on what they're doing and things that

97
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: Indiana can do to help them. I mean everything from

98
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: like snap reform as far as like you know, foodstamp

99
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: type benefits, to things like the death penalty. You know,

100
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: we have the federal death row here in Indiana, so

101
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: they're actually subject to Indiana law as far as what

102
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: means they can do to carry out justice.

103
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: So I need at tear hote, right, that's right? Yeah, Okay,

104
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: So did you get the like that's just like why though, Like,

105
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: why do they need you guys to all fly out there?

106
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: I think that every person looks at that and goes

107
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: the timing is very interesting, and you're just saying that's

108
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: a total coot. That's all a coincidence that that's that

109
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: they sit you guys out there right as this whole

110
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: thing was going on.

111
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: I got to say, I actually think it is this time.

112
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: If you look at it, there's actually about six or

113
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 3: seven other states have also done this, including states that

114
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 3: don't really have the ability to redistrict because their map

115
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: is already you know, either unilaterally, republican or whatever that

116
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: may be. Right, states that aren't in that conversation right now,

117
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: they're also doing this same sort of trip. But the

118
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: whole point is in this administration is trying to push

119
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 3: some of the power back down to the states where

120
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: it belongs. I think we've got a long way to

121
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: go as far as that's concerned. But if you're going

122
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 3: to do that, that means you have to good partnerships

123
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: and good readership in the states to actually see those

124
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: things through.

125
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: And I appreciate that because Andrew Ireland is our guest,

126
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: and he had a state rep. He was at the

127
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: White House the other day. I mean, look, the main

128
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: event is coming up here in a few minutes. He

129
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: brought his receipts for his trip. Yeah, okay, So how

130
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: did Jim Lucas's mind get changed in seven minutes then?

131
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: Right?

132
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: I mean that's see, these are the things that feed

133
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: people that some guy makes these repetitive, definitive statements. He

134
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: is a hard now and then he comes out of there,

135
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: Oh now, my mind, what open mind? What wowed the

136
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: masses in seven minutes? You see why people then walk

137
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: out of there thinking this was about redistricting.

138
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to tell you. I'll let Jim speak

139
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: for himself. The talk of redistricting was probably about all

140
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: of eight minutes of the fourteen minutes that the Vice

141
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: President was in the room, so very very small piece

142
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: of the day. You know, I had already kind of

143
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: made my decision one way or another before ever coming

144
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 3: into that room and put it out publicly, because I

145
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: never want to look like somebody twisted my arm.

146
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: Now, can you you can stay for another segment? Right?

147
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: Of course? Okay for good because I I want I

148
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: want to ask him. We've still got some time in

149
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: this segment, but I want to make sure we get

150
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: to the receipts next segment. Okay, So you are yes

151
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: on redistricting, I am. Okay, so help me, you and

152
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: I we're going to work through this here. Yeah. So

153
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: the state voted fifty eight ish percent Republican, thirty eight

154
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: percent Democrat. Seven of the nine seats are Republican, which

155
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: is seventy eight percent. The two areas that are Democrat,

156
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: which are the region and Marion County I think are

157
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: Democrat areas. Seventy percent of the House seats are Republican.

158
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: Eighty percent of the Senate seats are Republican. You don't

159
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: think that's fair, Why, well, I'll tell you.

160
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: I'll make a couple points. One, I think Jerry Manig

161
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: is bad. I do, and I know you've talked about

162
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 3: it in the last couple of weeks. I think you're

163
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 3: not wrong on all of that. And in Indiana, you know, well, yes,

164
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 3: there is still a partisan slant to our maps. If

165
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: you look at US versus pretty much every other state

166
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 3: in the Union. The Princeton election lab, for example, how's

167
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 3: you know kind of their ratings Indita, Rick's the best.

168
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: We actually have them.

169
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: Dressed like a guy who would fin at the Princeton

170
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: election lab. Now me, they wouldn't let me on the door,

171
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: but you look like a guy that could that could

172
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 1: fit at the Princeton election last.

173
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 3: Well, and so let me say this, Listen, I would

174
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: prefer to see a world where Congress steps up, does

175
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: its job and creates very clean and clear rules that

176
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: all the states have to play by. See don't get

177
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: the mustache in Illinois, don't get partisan jerry mandering. The

178
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: reality is that the other side has been doing this

179
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: for a long time, and Republicans have been doing it too,

180
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: but certainly not as hard as Democrats have. And so

181
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 3: on a national level, you have kind of two options, right,

182
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: you can fight fire with fire and you can go

183
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: down that road, or you can rest on your laurels

184
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: and say we've got a good map, we did it

185
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: the right way. But that means that in a national scale,

186
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: Republican voters are going to be marginalized. And so, you know,

187
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: for the longest time, I think Republicans chose the map.

188
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: You know, we're again, we're going to do it the

189
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: right way. We're going to rest on our laurels. We've

190
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: got a guy in the White House now though that

191
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: you know, kind of sees it a little differently that

192
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: he's ready to fight fire.

193
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: Wire him here work for me. Right, Like, I'm I

194
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: don't like any I mean, I like you, You're fine,

195
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: but I'm saying collectively as a party, appreciate that. I

196
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: don't why should I be funding your party function? Right? Like?

197
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys, the Republicans have the House, they

198
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: have the Senate, that have the presidency. It seems like

199
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: the maps are working pretty well. I mean, you're in,

200
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: You're an honest guy, You're basically admitting there is no

201
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: Unlike Texas who will say, oh, we had five million

202
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: people move in. You're saying this is a political function, right,

203
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: like we're evening the score for Massachusetts or whoever.

204
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's even in the playfield. I mean, there's

205
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: a strategic disadvantage in the maps the way they are

206
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: today because of partisan jerry mandering and Democrat states like Maryland, Massachusetts,

207
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: Illinois that have really moved the needle the other direction.

208
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: So this is an opportunity now where you have somebody

209
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 3: at the top, the leader of your party, that says, hey,

210
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: I'm willing to take that fight on and fight fire

211
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 3: with fire, and I respect that.

212
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: Andrew. We've been told that just a few years ago

213
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: there was so much care taken into redrawing the maps,

214
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: and if there's going to be a special session, it's

215
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 2: got to be done quickly. How much care and precision

216
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: will be done this time.

217
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I'll say this, I'm a care I

218
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: do care. I think that you want to get it

219
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: right right, and so I'm a yes on special session,

220
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: but I'm not necessarily a guess on the map.

221
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: I want to see the ultimate map.

222
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: For example, you had to draw an eight and one map,

223
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, Andre Carson is still my congressman.

224
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: You know, that's another conversation, right, That's what the south

225
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: Side used to be.

226
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: Are we hearing you say you want the nine zero listen?

227
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 3: I think if you're going to do it, that's certainly

228
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: part of the conversation, right. I think you should have

229
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 3: a map that generally reflects the population of Indiana. Right now,

230
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 3: Indiana's sixty to forty Republican that switches to Democrats in

231
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: the future, they'll have an opportunity to draw that map too.

232
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: So OK, this is what I understand, though, I feel

233
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: like it is a reflection of the state. If the

234
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: state is sixty forty or fifty eight, thirty eight or whatever,

235
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: you've got seven, they've got two the areas that they have.

236
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thinks in Indianapolis is a red city,

237
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: or that the Chicagoland area is red. It sounds like

238
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: we do have other than we just want to settle

239
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: the score for another state. Which you're the most honest guy,

240
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: Like you're the guy saying it right, And that's why

241
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm fine with you, because you're being honest and we

242
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: can have a disagreement about this. Everybody else. They try

243
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: to come up with all these this hodge podge of

244
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: stuff and it's like, no, you're just making me pay

245
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: for there to be more Republicans.

246
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 3: Well, and I mean, I'll say this too, you know,

247
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: I think there's been a lot of cost about the

248
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: conversation about the cost piece of it, and yes, there

249
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 3: is a cost to it. I want to hide things.

250
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 3: I've always tried to be very transparent with people. I

251
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: will say, as much as I get frustrated with the

252
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: Republicans in Washington, I think there's a real cost of

253
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: having a Democrat majority in Washington, particularly one that was

254
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: there by rig jerry mandering in the first place. So

255
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: this helps level the playing field. And ultimately, you know,

256
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: Republicans still have to go win. I mean that's the

257
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 3: other part of it. You still have to sell your ideas,

258
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: you still have to win. But at the end of

259
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 3: the day, if we can level the playing field and

260
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: you win, I think that's a better bargain for the

261
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: American people than the other way around.

262
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: All Right, I want to see these receipts, Casey.

263
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: I'm so excited, you said when you talked to jd

264
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 2: Vance that it was only about fourteen minutes and seven

265
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 2: eight minutes was redistricting. What were the other six minutes?

266
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 3: You know, he was really kind of talking about one

267
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: his experiences in Indiana. So he grew up in Cincinnati,

268
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: Indiana was right on the other side of the border there.

269
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 3: So he spent a lot of times kind of talking

270
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 3: about his personal connection to the state, relationship to some

271
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: of the folks in the room as well, and then

272
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: you know, just kind of laying out what they've been

273
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: up to and again how Indiana might fit into that

274
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: puzzle in the national level. Just from a policy perspective.

275
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: So again, I mean everything from death penalty to snap benefits, medicaid.

276
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 3: There are a lot of state specific conversations in Indiana

277
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: that have to happen to all Right.

278
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about the receipts coming up.

279
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: Who is the biggest fanboy who acted ridiculous at every

280
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: one of these events, or some person that doesn't act

281
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: like they've been there before. Who was the who was

282
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: the ridiculous?

283
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, I was pretty excited. I against you. Yeah,

284
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 3: I couldn't tell you. I just take a lot of selfies.

285
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: Honestly, all right, So are Island is our guest, any

286
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: a state rep. And you paid for your trip out

287
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: of your own own little slush fun you've got there

288
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: in that massively growing bank account. And so you said,

289
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: I will be happy in the name of transparency, even

290
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: though some of our state wide elected officials don't want

291
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: to do this. I'll be happy to show you all

292
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: the receipts for my trip. And you're gonna do that

293
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: when we come back. That's right, awesome, it's.

294
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: Kennel and Casey on ninety three WIBC.

295
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: Okay, we're about to have a lesson in transparency. Casey

296
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: Andrew Ireland State Rep is here and he in a

297
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: moment is going to show us the receipts from his

298
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: trip to all right, So I feel like we should

299
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: just set the tone on this or set the table

300
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: on this. Why we are very pleased to Andrews coming

301
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: in and doing this because we have new listeners in

302
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: all the time. Most people know the story, but just

303
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: very quick. So the Secretary of State, Diego Morales disappeared

304
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: to India for ten days during the legislative session, blew

305
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: off his budget session, wouldn't tell anybody where he was

306
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: and then finally came out on the internet he was

307
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: in India and he then said, well, nobody should be

308
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: worried about this because no tax pair dollars were used.

309
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: And we said, well, now we're actually more worried about

310
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: this because nobody gives you something for nothing. Who paid

311
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: for you to go on this mysterious, magical mystery tour

312
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: to India. Oh, by the way, the guy Raju who

313
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: has a mysterious eighty thousand dollars contract with his office

314
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: went with him and was bragging about selling visa access

315
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: while he was there. And we know Venture Capitalist was

316
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: over there as well from here in Indiana. So yeah,

317
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: lots of questions about what was going on. He said, no,

318
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you. We said why, He said, well,

319
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm very concerned they're going to be protested. He said,

320
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: that's very weird. Okay, don't believe that for a second.

321
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: So we kept up the pressure. Then finally came out

322
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: one day Diego did and said, well, good news, I

323
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: paid for India for it. We were like, oh, you

324
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: already said somebody else paid for India. He said, I

325
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: paid the money back.

326
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you didn't pay for the trip. He reimbursed

327
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: for the trip.

328
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we said, we don't believe you, and uh, we'd

329
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: like to see proof of that. And so then Diego

330
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: and I had a very spirited back and forth at

331
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: the Clay County Lincoln day. He had the drive out.

332
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: The arms were failing, he was shouting, and then at

333
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: one point he bizarrely said, well, you show me your

334
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: paycheck and I'll show you proof I paid the money back.

335
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: And I said, you mean you want to see my

336
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: paycheck from a private company. He said, yeah, show me

337
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: yours and I'll show you mine. I said, deal, dude,

338
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: And then well then it got weird, got a little squirrelly. Well,

339
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: they kept sending us cryptic messages, his community cations person did,

340
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: and then finally they agreed to show us the check.

341
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: And then we said, okay, well, obviously we would be

342
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: complete dumbasses if we didn't insist on seeing one that

343
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: the check was actually cash and two what you paid

344
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: for to know that those you actually paid the money back.

345
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: And he said, eh, I ain't doing that. So that's

346
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: where we are today, right But andre Yland said, I'll

347
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: show you all the all the expenses for my trip

348
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: and proof that I paid for it. You didn't pay

349
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: for it anything as a tax for he joins to

350
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: now Andrew Ireland Hillo. By the way, I feel like

351
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: you're just caught in the crossfire of all this. Good

352
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: to see you again. Okay. How much did you spend

353
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: roughly on your trip to Washington, d C?

354
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: Probably about six hundred all in.

355
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. That includes a flight, everything, flight everything.

356
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: You didn't stay though, you guys came back that that night.

357
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: I got in the day before. I had a bunch

358
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: of filings to do for my day job. I'm an attorneys,

359
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 3: so I've spent most of the day of the hotel

360
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: room working.

361
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: Oh and so includes hotel. You did that with the

362
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: flight and hotel for six mon light and hotel. Would

363
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: you eat Cheetos the whole time?

364
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: McDonald's actually, of course?

365
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: All right, So Casey, you have the receipts.

366
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: I have the receipts. Are you cool?

367
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: If we show them? I don't want putting your personal

368
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: step up. I've seen them. They are Okay.

369
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: Here's what I would like for you to do, rock, Yes, Casey,

370
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: get your calculator out, yes, and keep a running totally okay,

371
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: very good, Okay, so we'll have an exact number before

372
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: we get to the actual receipt.

373
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: Now, I didn't mean to catch up. Why did you

374
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: have no problem showing us your receipts?

375
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: I about that, heyde I think transparency is a helpful

376
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 3: thing in government. We should see more of it, not less.

377
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: Very good, go ahead, Casey, did you leave Washington, d C?

378
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: Feeling like you accomplished something? I mean, I've been to

379
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: like radio conferences and after I left them, I've oh

380
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: motivated and yeah I want to go do that and

381
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: just really inspired. So I don't have a problem with

382
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: any of the reps going to Washington, d C. For

383
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: the day or even an overnight if it helps them

384
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: become better legislators when they're back in Indiana. I think

385
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: that's a small price to pay, especially if I'm not

386
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: paying for it. So did you feel like that when

387
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: you left, like it was a good experience for you

388
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: to go so that you'll be a better lawmaker?

389
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

390
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 3: I actually I think it was really helpful. I mean

391
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: there are two very specific policy pieces coming out of

392
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 3: that that I'll be working on, you know, coming into

393
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 3: next session. I mean, one is reform to food stamp

394
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 3: snap benefits, within Indiana specifically, there was a proposal in

395
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen about basically doing like blue Apron boxes where

396
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 3: you're taking you know.

397
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: The middleman out.

398
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 3: You're not using these kind of ebt cards, but instead

399
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: you're delivering healthy food directly to somebody's door. I think

400
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 3: there's something to be really said for that. But then

401
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 3: the other piece of it too is the death penalty.

402
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 3: So the federal death row is here in Indiana and

403
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: Tara HOAt and so they are subject to Indiana law

404
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: and Indiana methods of carrying out executions, and that means

405
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 3: lethal injection, which is a very expensive method to really

406
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: carry out justice.

407
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, why can't we just shoot people.

408
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 3: That might be on the table.

409
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: We'll see. You're very good.

410
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: So you're saying, because of this trip, you are coming

411
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: back when session begins, you are directly authoring bills based

412
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: on what you learned.

413
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, okay, And I say about two percent

414
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: of the people went with you. We'll do it the

415
00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: way you did it.

416
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: But i'm a set of how many people do you

417
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: think paid themselves?

418
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 3: Honestly, I couldn't begin to tell you. I will say

419
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 3: that the couple of people I've talked to you about it.

420
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 3: They are actually paying, you know, out of their own

421
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 3: pocket for this one too. Now if we did Marshall,

422
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 3: you know, so you're only entitled to reasonable expenses, right,

423
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: So my guess is that if they you know, they

424
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: wanted to go out and have a steak dinner, they're

425
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 3: not going to get reimbursed for that. But maybe they're

426
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 3: airfare for example, if they had a reasonable flight and

427
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 3: a reasonable.

428
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: Time with the covered. Okay, all right, Casey, you have

429
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: the receipts. Let's work through these here. And Andrew said

430
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: he's fine if she puts them up on the screen

431
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: for people to u Yeah, people just see.

432
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: And they come in different sizes. We've got little ones,

433
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: we've got big ones. Okay, you ready with the tone?

434
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: I got it.

435
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go. First one three hundred and eighty

436
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: four dollars and ninety six cents.

437
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: Okay, very good.

438
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 2: That was for American Airlines, and I guess it's a.

439
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: Round trip ticket to and from Washington, d C.

440
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 3: That's if you plant it out in advance, that's pretty good.

441
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: I'm paying four oh four when I go tomorrow.

442
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: Oh, that's what's in the ball park.

443
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 2: Yep, okay. Next we have this is McDonald's five dollars

444
00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: and eighty eight cents.

445
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: What you got? I think that was a mick griddle?

446
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 3: This was was this at the airport that was the

447
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 3: Indie airport?

448
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: Yes, yep, okay, five eighty eight. You've got a twelve

449
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: dollars American Airline Wi Fi charge and he paid for

450
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: this in Fort Worth, Texas. So you obviously had to

451
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: fly down to Dallas.

452
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: I think it's because they're based in.

453
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: Okay, that's where the billing goes. Twelve dollars for Wi

454
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 2: Fi wire on the plane just.

455
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: To be able to access the Internet on the plane.

456
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: Are you telling me?

457
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 2: Okay? Fifteen dollars and fifty cents? And this is an

458
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: all day Metro pass. Now tell everybody who is not

459
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: familiar with the Metro what that is in Washington d C.

460
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: Train in d C. So if you don't want to

461
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: spend fifty dollars on each Uber ride to get around,

462
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 3: the train is definitely the cheapest option.

463
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: Okay. And if you're just joining us. Andrew Ireland State

464
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: Rep is our guest. He's revealing his receipts for his

465
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: trip to Washington, d C. Because that's what transparency looks

466
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: like when you have absolutely nothing to hide. And this

467
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: is important because this is the exact thing. This is

468
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: the only thing we have asked the Secretary of State

469
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: to do. We don't need to know who he paid

470
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: the money back to. We just want to see the receipts,

471
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: what it was for, and what the check was for,

472
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: so that if you're tuning in, this is why we're

473
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: doing this.

474
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: Okay, we continue on. This is actually in Washington. One

475
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty four dollars and thirty six cents, okay,

476
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 2: And this was for the hotel booked on hotels dot com.

477
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: It's expensive, that's.

478
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 3: The Hilton Gardens. It's a three star hotel. Don't well,

479
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 3: I don't care.

480
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: It's your money. You stayed to five star.

481
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: I don't care to stay to HgI.

482
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you. It's serviceable. It's probably not the

483
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 3: nicest hotel in the world, but it's very close to

484
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 3: the White House, so it was very convenient.

485
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: Did you have to tell your wife like I'm going

486
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm going to Washington, d C. And

487
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay for this myself. Like, did you do

488
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: you have to have a conversation with your wife about.

489
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: That anytime I spend money, you know, I was reread it.

490
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 3: I'm about as cheap as it gets. She knows that too,

491
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 3: so she never really has story very good.

492
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 2: Continuing on with the receipts, Rob, you still going, yes,

493
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: I'm still going. Okay. Five dollars and eighty one cents.

00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: This was for a coffee in Washington. See. This must

00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: have been the warning of the meetings at the White House.

496
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 3: It may have been. Yeah, that's that's right, he's gonna

00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: wake up, he's gonna have.

498
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: So that's right. Yeah, again, that's something totally.

499
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 2: Expensive coffee, by the way. Yeah, five dollars and eighty

500
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: one cents. Here we got more food.

501

Speaker 3: That is a micdouble and a drink.

507
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: Think about think about this. Not only can he tell

Speaker 1: you what he bought, he can explain it to you

509
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: in intricate detail.

510
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, here we go, fifty two dollars ninety two cents.

511
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:41,280

Speaker 3: have had oysters or steaks, and I'm going to take

518
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,800

Speaker 1: of beers.

00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: That's right?

555
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

556
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:34,720

00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So here's how we do this, Andrew, I know

Speaker 1: Seven hundred and fourteen dollars in eighty.

568
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,520

571
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll get some heat for it, but it's

572
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: it's exactly what our representatives should be and the fact

573
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: that you're just willing to come on, I mean of

574
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: something that you're paying for yourself. I mean you're not

575
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: even saying somebody else paid for it, and you're just like,

576
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: here it is, man, here's every seat. I really appreciate that,

577
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,120

578
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

579
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 3: No, I appreciate it.

580
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: And for the representatives who aren't paying it for.

581
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: Themselves, yeah, we'd like see your receipts too.

582
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 2: It's Kennel and Casey. It's ninety three WIBC.

583
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk about what we just did for

584
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: a second, because I thought that was very interesting. It's

585
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: Kennelly Casey Show. I'm Rob Casey here. So if you

586
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: missed the first part of the hour, we at Andrew

587
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: Ireland State Rep. Come on and look. We spent the

588
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: first segment talking about the trip to Washington, d C.

589
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: About redistricting, and guys like Ireland, I like not because

590
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: I agree with them, Like clearly I don't agree with

591
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: him on this issue. But he's honest. He's like, I'm

592
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: doing it. It's wholly political and politics is trumping fairness.

593
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: And so, by the way, keV, nice job of the

594
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: single shot on Casey. That's what the audience absolutely wants

595
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: in their life. Just to leave it like that.

596
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 2: He forgot to move shoot, I forgot to move it back.

597
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: It was just hang on a second, Oh change it yet,

598
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: Kevin Casey philibuster for just a second. Oh Ken, I

599
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: can do that.

600
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 2: I can do you keep doing I'm trying.

601
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: To be a smart ass over here. And Kev's like,

602
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: robbed the cameras.

603
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: You Kevin's gonna switch it back.

604
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: That's hilarious.

605
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, Kevin. You're doing an excellent job today. We

606
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 2: appreciate you so much.

607
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: Everyone's doing a good job at us. Yeah, there we go, perfect.

608
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: Thank you, Kevin. Kevin, you're not doing your job, rob

609
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: and the camera's focused on an empty space because you

610
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: didn't do your job anyway. I thought that was a

611
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: fasting discussion because at least he will admit the thing.

612
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: At least he will say the thing, which is this

613
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: is wholly political. We think we're getting screwed in other states,

614
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: and we're not even gonna try to fool you or

615
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: anything else.

616
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: And then I'm not going to say it's a population

617
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 2: move or anything like that.

618
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: Oh and look, I totally disagree with that. I'm going

619
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: to fight that now. What I didn't think was interesting

620
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: was he said I'm for the session, not until I

621
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: see the map and we ran out of time. I

622
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: question him would be, well, you know the map is

623
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: going to be rigged in your favor. What do you need?

624
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: It sounded like he was more interested in getting rid

625
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: Andre Carson that he cared about the people in the

626
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: first district. So that's first person to come out and

627
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: say that publicly, which is very interesting, which I do

628
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: wonder if there's going to be enough people, if the

629
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: maps aren't extreme enough, are going to vote no, if

630
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: the maps aren't going for ball the way right, So

631
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: that'd be interesting. And then of course the reason real

632
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: reason we had him on, I mean that stuff was

633
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: fine and interesting. He brought all of his receipts for

634
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: his trip to Washington, d C. Because he paid for

635
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: his own trip. And I've been having some fun with

636
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: him on social media and he said, hey, I'll gladly

637
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: come in and show you the receipts to show that

638
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: I paid for it. And he's a nice guy and

639
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: he's not going to stay it out loud, but he

640
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: knows what Diego is. And everybody in that State House

641
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: knows what Diego Morales, the Secretary of State is, and

642
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: they know that his story is ridiculous one that he

643
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: won't tell you who paid for his trip to a

644
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: foreign country. And they also know it's ridiculous that he

645
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: claims he paid the money back. There's not a personal

646
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: live who believes Dallar for dollar Diego Morales paid back

647
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: the money for that trip to India. And this is

648
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: his way, This is Andrew Ireland's way of telling the masses.

649
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: We know exactly what this guy is in the state House.

650
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: We know how ridiculous he behaves. And that was the

651
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: absolute best thing he could have done, was come on

652
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: here and show us the coffees. The McDonald I mean, technically,

653
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: I don't even really care about all that. I care

654
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: about the big stuff, right, But he was so detail

655
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: oriented on it, and Diego could do that too, and

656
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to do it because I don't think

657
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 1: there's a personal life who believes he acts. He paid

658
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: that money back.

659
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: Well, and the thing is with Andrew Ireland, he went

660
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: down to the penny. You know, this is what it was,

661
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 2: the exact amount, the whole way, and with Diego Morales,

662
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 2: Secretary of State saying you know, oh yeah, I'll show

663
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: you I paid it back. Was it just going to

664
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 2: be like a round number?

665
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was intrigued by. And look, we

666
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,479
Speaker 1: went back on this, and several people in the financial

667
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: industry and the pay roll industry said, look, you can't

668
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: just go I know you want to see it out

669
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: of curiosity, just see what sort of shenan against he's pulled.

670
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: But he said they made a great part. They said,

671
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: once you accept the premise of his terms, then you

672
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: basically have to accept the thing that you're being shown,

673
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: because you walk in there knowing, well, you know he's

674
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: gonna pull bull crap. And there's not a personal life

675
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: with this where a legit business type transaction or engagement,

676
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: you know that would accept without seeing proof that check

677
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: was cash or the receipts that back it up. So

678
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: they said, you can't, You can't do it, even though

679
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: you just really want to see what sort of shenan

680
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: against he's gonna.

681
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,479
Speaker 2: Pull, right, I mean, is he going to show you

682
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 2: the actual receipts of you know, oh, his dinner at

683
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: the Lemon Hall and you India or wherever he went

684
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: down to every last coffee. No, he probably didn't keep

685
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 2: those receipts.

686
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: But here's the question that everybody should keep asking themselves. Well,

687
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: there's two questions really, One, why will no elected official

688
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: call him out? Let's face it, all the heat on

689
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: this dude has generated out of this radio program. Now

690
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: other outlets have run stories, etc. But the smoke, the

691
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: smoke that bothers him, which is why he goes on

692
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: bizarre rants at Motor Vehicle Advisory Board meetings, is about us,

693
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: because he can't tell the problem he has with us.

694
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm like the stars. He can't go, oh, the liberal

695
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: indie star and I'm a Republican. What's he gonna say

696
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: about us? He can't challenge our conservative credentials or our

697
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: liberty minded credentials. We dislike you because we see through

698
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: you diego. We dislike you because we know what a

699
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: fraudster you are. We know what a grifter you are,

700
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: we know what an unethical, dirty, rotten person you are.

701
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: So there's nothing you're gonna do to us. And that's

702
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: why he hates us, because he knows people listen. But

703
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: he can't leverage the liberal media stuff against us.

704
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 2: So if Andrew Ireland went to Washington, DC, he did

705
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: say he spent the night. You know, we had the

706
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 2: hotel receipt, that whole thing. So it was what a

707
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 2: twenty four hour trip? Yeah, basically seven hundred and fourteen

708
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 2: dollars and eighty eight cents. That was for twenty four

709
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 2: hours in country, That's right. What do you think the

710
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 2: price tag was for what seven to ten days in

711
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: India halfway around the world.

712
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: Well, I think we had talked to I talked to

713
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: somebody at the time about this and they said, if

714
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: he did it for under ten grand, they'd be surprised.

715
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: Maney factor the flights, the hotels, all the travel, everything,

716
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: whoever paid for it. And if we just kind of

717
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: make that as a nice round working number, which, by

718
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: the way, Diego could put all this to bed. Just

719
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: do it. Andrew Ireland did that. Literally, what he just

720
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: did is exactly what we asked for. And I probably

721
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: don't even need the coffees thrown.

722
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 2: In or McDonald.

723
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think Diego. I bet most of

724
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: Diego's meals were pretty fine meals. I don't think fancy.

725
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he did too much corner cutting while

726
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: he was there. But my point on all this is

727
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: that's it for the people who want to hate on us,

728
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: or we're out to get Diego or whatever. He just

729
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: did it. He just did the exact thing that if

730
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: Diego had done this month ago, we'd have been done

731
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: with it. But he won't do it because everybody knows

732
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: what he is. And for some reason. The thing I

733
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: cannot figure out is why no lawmakers, no elected people

734
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: will call him out. Why nobody in the state House.

735
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Andrew sort of did there in his own

736
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 1: He's very polite and he's very nice, But why the

737
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: Democrats won't make him the center focus of everything they do.

738
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: The public understands. This is why the Tom Kleinhelter thing

739
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: has become so big, Because the public understands. Public corruption,

740
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:55,479
Speaker 1: they understand, or potential public corruption, or the idea of

741
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: things not being on the up and up. They understand

742
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: politicians cutting corners, They understand politicians not being honest with them.

743
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: They understand politicians not giving them the whole story, and

744
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: they're sick of it.

745
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 4: And this guy, Diego Morales, is the poster child for

746
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 4: the unethical, corrupt, deceitful, rotten behavior, and he's in such

747
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 4: a position of importance.

748
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 1: So that's the first thing I can understand. The other

749
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: thing I can't understand is why when he goes to

750
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: these events people don't treat him the way we do.

751
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: We know people think this, we hear from them all

752
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: the time, and yet when he goes to these events,

753
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: people just shake his hand and smile at him, like,

754
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: I don't understand why anyone would tolerate this from any politician,

755
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: much of somebody that's in the importance of Diego Morales,

756
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: who has access to the personal information of millions of

757
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: people and thousands of businesses. He is the last person

758
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: who should have access to that sort of stuff, and

759
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: yet the politicians and the political insider people just go yeah.

760
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 2: My question is Governor Brown said yesterday when he was

761
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 2: on with Hammer and Nigel. Yeah, it's like cleanup an

762
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 2: aisle five? When does the cleanup again?

763
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a great Now the answer is if

764
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: we just cut through all the crap. The answer is

765
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: the money that touches Diego touches so many of these politicians.

766
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it. That's the long and short of it.

767
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: These politicians. You've seen it like these Indie Star articles

768
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: about the utilities buying these politicians. These politicians are essentially

769
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: legally for sale. And the money and the amount of

770
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: money and where the money comes from touches so many

771
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: politicians on both sides of the aisle. Don't you ever

772
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: sit around going like we said, why aren't the Democrats

773
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: all over this? Because the money goes both ways, and

774
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: if the money touches them or powerbrokers that they're beholden to,

775
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: they're not going to say a word. Because it's the

776
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: theme of the show today, politicians don't give a damn

777
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: about you.

778
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: It's KENNELLN. Casey on ninety three WIBC.

779
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: This guy will not leave us alone. It's getting very weird,

780
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: like he's turning into the cable guy at this point.

781
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: Who are you talking about the mouthy mayor of Lebanon,

782
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: Matt Gentry, mauthy Matt he.

783
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: Is he tagging you and some stuff. He wants to

784
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 2: come on the show, Rob.

785
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's very If you've ever seen the movie

786
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: Cable Guy, most people have, I assume Jim Carrey plays

787
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: this kind of neurotic cable guy. He's not even really

788
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: a cable guy, it turns out in the end, and

789
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: his whole question in life is to try to make

790
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: friends that he didn't make when he was a kid

791
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: because his mother just stuck him in front of the

792
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: television and he he latches on to Matthew. Matthew Broderick.

793
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: Is that's Ferris Bueller, right, That was the guy who

794
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: played Fai Spueler. Yeah. Yeah. He's the straight guy in

795
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: the movie and comes off as this super normal, rational

796
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: guy in the beginning, and then the it's a dark calm,

797
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 1: what they call a dark comedy. You begin to learn

798
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: more and more things about the cable guy as he

799
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: becomes more and more obsessed with being Matthew Brodrick's friend.

800
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: You've never seen Cable Guy, No, I haven't. You've never

801
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: seen Cable cav Have you ever seen Cable Guy.

802
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know if I've actually watched the

803
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 2: full movie.

804
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: It's actually a phenomenal movie. I mean, it's like a

805
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: it's a comedy and it's a you know, a Jim

806
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: Carrey movie when Jim Carrey was still funny. But it's

807
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: actually a phenomenal movie. You have to watch. I can't

808
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: believe you've never seen The Cable Guy.

809
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: I never seen it.

810
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah, this was like ninety six or

811
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: ninety seven that it came out. Anyway, That's who Matt Gentry,

812
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,479
Speaker 1: the mayor of Lebanon, is becoming. He's becoming Cable Guy.

813
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: He will not leave us alone.

814
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 2: He wants to come on the show and talk about stuff,

815
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 2: and he's.

816
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: You know, we have enough friends, Matt, just like, just

817
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: like Matthew Broderick tells Jim Carrey and Cable Guy, I

818
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: don't have room for any more pests in my life

819
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: life now, he says, friends. But I'm saying pest. And

820
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: that's what people like you are, Matt Genry. You're a pest, pest,

821
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: pest of the taxpayer. And I have enough past story about.

822
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 2: He said that you're too afraid to have him on?

823
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 2: Are you afraid.

824
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: No politicians are boring unless you're gonna do something fun

825
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 1: and creative like Andrew. This is why we very rarely

826
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: have politicians on because they're boring. You offer nothing. I'm

827
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: notss you're gonna do something fun and creative like Andrew

828
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: Ireland did. Or he's gonna stick a middle finger at

829
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: Diego Morales and bring receipts for his trip. Why would

830
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: we have you on? We already have an opinion about Leap,

831
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: We already have an opinion about the IEDC. We already

832
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: think it's ridiculous what's going on out there. Why would

833
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: we give you a platform when you still have it

834
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: return to favor for us, There's been no reciprocation. We

835
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: had you on the show. You were a rotten house guest.

836
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: You came in here, we were very nice to you,

837
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 1: and then you got lippy the moment you left the studio.

838
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: You never said you sorry for your bad behavior. It's

839
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: the equivalent of like wiping mud on our carpet on

840
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: your way out the door. And we have said until

841
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: you do something for us, which I think the equivalent

842
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: of getting to be on the number one rated radio

843
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: program is that we get to speak at the State

844
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: of the City. Then we're not having you on, ok right,

845
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: that seems fair. Yeah, we went first, we invited You

846
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: ever have that friend that never wanted to let you

847
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: come play at his house growing up? Yeah, you always

848
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: had to go over to your house and you had

849
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: to you know.

850
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's always coming to play at our house. It's

851
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 2: never get invited to his house.

852
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: And who are you to demand anything? One, you're not interesting,

853
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: that's the first part of it. Two, there's nothing you're

854
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: gonna tell us. It's gonna change our mind or anybody

855
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: else's mind. And three we already did the thing. You

856
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: already had your chance, and you're rotten.

857
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 2: So he just keeps going on about it though.

858
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the worst thing you can do is pester me, casey, casey,

859
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: We'll back this up. I my desire in life is

860
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: to not have any communication with you people. And the

861
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: worst thing you can do if you want something is

862
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: to paster me. The fastest way to get something is

863
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: to leave me alone.

864
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: Or be nice to me.

865
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: Well, we tried that and he said that. But I

866
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: don't think it's unreasonable for us to say we want

867
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: to speak at the Lebanon State of the city. That's

868
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: your opportunity to show equal equal time, equal Yeah, whatever, right,

869
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: potable for everybody.

870
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 2: Okay, you also got into a fight with somebody else

871
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: last night online.

872
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: I have to read this verbatim. Jim Lucas got our

873
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: regular winner of the dumbass of the day work state

874
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: Rep to Lucas. Jim Lucas, he got lippy last night.

875
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: Oh I know what he got lippy about. He got

876
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 1: lippy about Craig Haggard. So, Craig Haggard's a state Rep.

877
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 1: Where was this? Did I screenshut? There it is. There's

878
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: a Haggard's got some campaign I got. He's running for congress.

879
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: He's the guy that came on our show said he

880
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: was against redistricting. The maps were beautifully liked him. And

881
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: then once some podcaster in Arizona was threatened to be

882
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: mean to him, he folded, and so he got himself

883
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: a photo in Washington, d C. Because he's mister photo

884
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: op guy. And so I just retweeted the photo and

885
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: I said, this is the face of the guy that's

886
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: such a gutless coward. He was willing to lie to

887
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: every single constituents because he was petrified of pissing off

888
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: a podcaster in Arizona. Pretty straightforward, right. He came on

889
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: our show, he lied so, and the only thing that

890
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: changed was Charlie Kirk threatened changed his mind. Yes, he

891
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: threatened to do mean things to his electoral chances. And

892
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: so Jim Lucas, who we all know the issues that

893
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: he's had over the years with telling the truth, you know,

894
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: fleeing accountability, responded and said a Marine Corps fighter pilot

895
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: is a gutless coward three question marks and then a

896
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: bunch of laughy faces. And so I responded to him,

897
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: and I said, if you're afraid of a podcaster from

898
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: Arizona and Wilton Paula on a policy position, yes, Now,

899
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: in fairness, it's not as gutless as fleeing the scene

900
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: after driving while drunk and trying to hide your car.

901
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: But well you get the idea. Wow. And he didn't

902
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 1: respond to that. Oh maybe he did. Let's see, is

903
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: there any responses? Nope, nope, nothing. Well there are responses,

904
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: but none from him.

905
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 2: You know, in all fairness, with these guys taking pictures

906
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 2: of themselves, the selfies or whatever in Washington, DC, I'd

907
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: have done the same thing. I mean, as an American,

908
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: I would have been proud to have been there.

909
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: Well, I don't have any problem with people going and

910
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 1: paying for their own trips. I don't have any problem.

911
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: He's fine. Good for him, he's a ton of go

912
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: where ever he wants. Yeah, I shouldn't be paying for it,

913
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: because they could do the same thing on Zoom. But

914
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: if he wants to go, he being Andrew Ireland or

915
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: any of these people who paid for their own trips,

916
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: good on them. I don't care. My point is I

917
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: don't want to pay for it, and I don't think

918
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: that's unreasonable. If we're saying we're too broke to fund

919
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: the state budget without raising taxes by a billion dollars,

920
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: or we can't fund our roads without raising the never

921
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: ending gas tax, or there's no money to help you

922
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: with property taxes, or we can't stand up to the

923
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 1: utilities or any of this other stuff, then I don't

924
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: think there should be money. Braun can't even tell a

925
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: straight story and how much it's gonna cost.

926
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 2: He's turned from one hundred and fifty thousand to maybe

927
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 2: a quarter of a million.

928
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: And whether it's Lucas or Haggard or any of these guys,

929
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take your crap, and Jim Lucas, if

930
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna get lippy on social media, I'm gonna point out,

931
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: Jim Lucas, how you drove drunk, you blew through a barricade,

932
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: you fled the scene, you hit your car, you got

933
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: cue with the cops every time, Jim, because that shows

934
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: the dishonest, deceitful behavior that you think is acceptable. So

935
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: when you're gonna get mouthy or try to be a

936
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: tough guy on the internet, I'm gonna point that out

937
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: to the public. Now. Voters may care, may not. Clearly

938
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: the last time fifty thousand dollars from the Republican Party

939
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: came in and saved your election, they'll probably do it

940
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: again because Jim's a good boy. Now he does what

941
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 1: he's told. But it ain't gonna happen on my Twitter account.

942
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 2: Thank you, Rob, Thank you Kevin, Thank you for listening today.

943
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 2: This has been Kendall and Casey on ninety three WIBC.
