1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: As we're crushing the enemy in an overwhelming display of

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: technical skill in military force. The rands, drone and missile

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: capability is being utterly demolished.

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: The navy is gone.

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: It's all lying at the bottom of the ocean.

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: Forty six ships.

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 3: Can you believe it? In fact, I got a little

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 3: upset with our people. I said, what quality of ship?

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 3: Excellencer top of the line. I said, why didn't we

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 3: just capture the ship? We're going to use it? Why

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 3: did we sink them? They said it's more fun to

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: sink them. Said that's a they like sinking the better.

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 3: They say it's safer to sink them.

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: I guess it's probably true. But think of it.

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: We knocked out forty six It actually took three and

16
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: a half days.

17
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: Their terrorist leaders.

18
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: Are gone or counting down the minutes until they will

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: be gone.

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: Think of it.

21
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: We had leaders and they're gone. That we had new

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: leaders and they're gone.

23
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: And now nobody has any idea.

24
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: Who the people are that are going to be the

25
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: head of the country.

26
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 4: Donald Trump saying that we are crushing the enemy in

27
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 4: an overwhelming display of technical skill in military force. So

28
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 4: when he says the Iran war could end quickly. He's

29
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 4: leaning on a strategy of shock pressure and rapid negotiations.

30
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 4: Hit him hard and then get out, Get in there,

31
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 4: mess it up, and then leave. Now, the real debate

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 4: is whether it's going to end fast, but whether the

33
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 4: decisive force shortens them or risks escalation, or what happens

34
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 4: when it's all said and done. Pete Haig Seth, what

35
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 4: did he say this morning? He said that it'll end

36
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 4: on our timeline.

37
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, he said, Trump quote gets to control the throttle

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 5: of war with Iran. So again, back to what we

39
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 5: started the show off with, continued mixed messaging from this administration.

40
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,919
Speaker 5: Trump saying oh, it's just about over, other administration officials saying, hey.

41
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: We can go on for as long as we want to.

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 5: Certainly we're not quite sure what the truth is on

43
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 5: all of this, but I think the bigger point, and look,

44
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 5: you know Trump is Trump's a good an outstanding communicator,

45
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 5: and all of this kind of uncertainty as it relates

46
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 5: to the messaging messaging around the war, and I'm not

47
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 5: going to discount the possibility that's possibly intentional just to

48
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 5: keep our enemies unbalanced. They don't know about. It's how

49
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 5: we started the show. We have no idea what Trump

50
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 5: Trump's going to do. You can guarantee our enemies definitely

51
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 5: have no idea what Trump's going to do.

52
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: Okay, I have another take on that, because we had

53
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 4: yesterday at one point oil barrels surging over one hundred

54
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: dollars and then Trump comes out and says the war

55
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: is very near complete.

56
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 6: So is he just doing this to relax the markets?

57
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 7: This is just.

58
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 4: Calming markets, reassuring Americans, and everything's settled down.

59
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 6: The end of the day, oil was down between eighty

60
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 6: and ninety nin bear.

61
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great theory.

62
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 5: If that was his intention, it certainly worked because the

63
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 5: price of oil as of very early kind of overnight

64
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 5: Sunday into Monday, had gotten up to near one hundred

65
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 5: and twenty dollars a barrel, and this morning it's down

66
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 5: to just about eighty nine dollars a barrel. So maybe

67
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 5: give Trump some credit on this, because the mainstream media

68
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 5: has certainly beaten the pants off of him about the

69
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 5: fact that his communications and messaging is kind of all

70
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 5: over the place, and you know, giving the impression that

71
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 5: the war is almost over and then oh no, maybe

72
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 5: it'll go on for months. So Donald Trump maybe decided

73
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 5: to cut through all of that in an opportunity just

74
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 5: to bring down oil prices.

75
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 6: Yeah.

76
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: So you've got these financial institutions that price in prolonged

77
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: instability because they model risk conservatively.

78
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 6: And obviously a war driven oil.

79
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: Spike is going to collapse once the shipping lanes stabilized.

80
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: But when you have Donald Trump out there saying no, no,

81
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: this is almost complete, it's going to move the markets,

82
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 4: and it's going to move them in the direction that

83
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: he wants them to go.

84
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 5: Well, stock markets and the commodity markets have always had

85
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 5: a big truth and this has been the case for

86
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 5: you know, forty to fifty sixty years. They like stability

87
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 5: and predictability, and so whenever anything happens that destabilizes that,

88
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 5: there's going to be a freak out, either to the

89
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 5: upside or way to the downside. I think we saw

90
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 5: that over the weekend as it related to a lot

91
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 5: of commodity prices. We saw a little bit of a

92
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 5: shock on Monday morning in the stock market. Things have

93
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 5: kind of gone, I don't want to say completely gone

94
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 5: back to normal, but the stock market is still stabilized.

95
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 5: It was actually up yesterday. It's down a couple hundred

96
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 5: points so far this morning. So Trump's messaging on this,

97
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 5: like you said, may have just been to calm down

98
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 5: the markets.

99
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, he didn't give a specific end date.

100
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: He said soon, and he wasn't precise on when the

101
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 4: fighting would actually stop. You've got Senator or Secretario Secretary

102
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 4: Rubio Secretario, Oh.

103
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: I like that a lot better?

104
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 5: Here is it kind of shortens Secretary Rubio just to Secretario.

105
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 7: Just didn't make it one word.

106
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 4: He says he wants everyone to know that the military

107
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 4: is getting the job done.

108
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 8: There's not a lot of cameras down there covering what

109
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 8: they're doing, as opposed to some of the other images

110
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 8: that you may see from some of the cities and

111
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 8: capitals nearby. But I want everyone to know your military

112
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 8: is getting the job done. And every single day this

113
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 8: regime in Iran has less missiles, has less launchers, their

114
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 8: factories work less, and their navy is being eviscerated. And

115
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 8: the world is going to be a safer and a

116
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 8: better place when this mission is accomplished.

117
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 4: Okay, So you've got Rubio saying the military is doing

118
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 4: a great job. You've got Hegseth saying, you know, it's

119
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: not going to be over anytime soon.

120
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 6: We're ready to go.

121
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 4: We're fighting. You've got Donald Trump taking phone calls with Putin.

122
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: That's happening as well. We're now selling oil, or Russia

123
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 4: is selling oil. They're going to be gaining more money.

124
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 4: So we're giving up on Ukraine.

125
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 6: That's done. We're moving on from that. I mean, that's

126
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 6: what you have to summize from that.

127
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 5: You know, I'm not quite sure, but certainly the mainstream

128
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 5: media believe that. When that news came out about Vladimir

129
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 5: Putin and his phone call with Donald Trump, there was

130
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 5: a mini freak out that was happening all over cable

131
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 5: news yesterday associated with that. I have no idea what

132
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 5: Trump and Putin talked about. I have no idea if

133
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 5: Trump has an idea, all do.

134
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: I have no idea of Trump's.

135
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 5: Interested in sacrificing Ukraine to do what we want in Iran.

136
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 5: But Trump loves making deals and he is always believed

137
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 5: for his look. I don't think that Trump thinks Putin

138
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 5: is a good guy. Trump certainly respects Vladimir Putin, but

139
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 5: more importantly, I think Trump believes he can always get

140
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 5: a deal done with Vladimir putin that other presidents couldn't

141
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 5: get done. So I think that's probably what Trump's looking

142
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 5: for out of all of this and out of all

143
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 5: everything that we've.

144
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: Talked about so far.

145
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 5: So keep in mind, how does this affect you the

146
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 5: average American stock markets. Look, if most of what you

147
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 5: own in stocks and mutual funds is sitting in your

148
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 5: four oh one K or an IRA and you're more

149
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 5: than a year or two away from retirement, it's okay.

150
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 5: You don't have to worry about these massive day to

151
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 5: day fluctuations in the stock market. It's probably going to

152
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 5: be a long time before you need that money.

153
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: Anyway.

154
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 5: Where it does directly affect you, and where most Americans

155
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 5: see this every single day is gas prices.

156
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 2: And we've been talking about.

157
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 5: This every day, and of course the triple A Indiana

158
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 5: state average for fuel in the state of Indiana this

159
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 5: morning is three dollars and forty nine cents a gallon.

160
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 5: That's up two cents from yesterday. It is up from

161
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 5: two dollars and seventy eight cents before with the war

162
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 5: it ran started. So that is about seventy cents per

163
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 5: gallon increase in the last week and a half. That

164
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 5: is something that impacts everybody, and there's no way we

165
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 5: can get away from that.

166
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: Donald Trump also met with several Latin American leaders at

167
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: the Shield of America's summit that was held near Miami.

168
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 4: At the meeting, he was encouraging the leaders to use

169
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: military action, not just law enforcement, to go after drug

170
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: cartels and violent criminal groups in the country. So the cartels,

171
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 4: they're not just criminals, they're armed, their networks. They harm

172
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 4: communities on both sides of the border. And if law

173
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 4: enforcement alone has it worked, getting into military partnership could

174
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 4: be a bold shift.

175
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 6: Is this a new.

176
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 4: Strategy changing the status quo of what is happening with

177
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 4: the cartels?

178
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, clearly the status quo as it relates to the

179
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 5: cartels in Central and South America has certainly changed. And

180
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 5: we know that because of the you know, the raid

181
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 5: that Mexican military did on the cartel and capturing and

182
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 5: eventually killing El Mencho, who is the drug cartel leader,

183
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 5: one of the big cartels in Mexico. Look, Mexico did

184
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 5: not want to do that, absolutely didn't want to do that.

185
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 5: Trump strong armed them into that action, and now he's

186
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 5: created this you know, Shield of America's group that includes

187
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 5: a lot of these countries in Central America and northern

188
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 5: South America, and this is going to continue to be

189
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 5: a big focus. Look, I get it that it's tough

190
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 5: to keep up with all this. We're talking about his

191
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 5: call with Putin and the war in Ukraine, and obviously

192
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 5: we're talking about what's going on with Iran, and now

193
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 5: we're also focusing on Central America and the battle with

194
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 5: the cartels there. It is a lot to keep up with.

195
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 5: But Donald Trump seems to love this frenzied pace of

196
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 5: activity and things going on.

197
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 6: Pete Hegseth not back and down either.

198
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 4: He says that we're going to map the networks of

199
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 4: the cartels and hunt them down.

200
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 9: Our message to these foreign terrorist organizations is we will

201
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 9: treat you like we have treated El Qaeda. We will

202
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 9: find you, we will map your networks, we will hunt

203
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 9: you down, and.

204
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 7: We will kill you.

205
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 9: And you've seen that evidence in the maritime domain, whether

206
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 9: it's in the Caribbean or in the Pacific. With the

207
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 9: last two strikes. We know exactly who these people are.

208
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 9: We know what networks they work with, what foreign terrorists

209
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 9: organizations they're part of, we know where they're going where

210
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 9: they originated from what they're carrying.

211
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 4: So you've got these demands for Latin American governments to

212
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: step up about their own countries, and that's about protecting

213
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 4: Americans as well or regional neighbors. They have to do

214
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 4: their part from violence that spills over into the United States.

215
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 5: And again, I don't know if this is a good

216
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 5: idea to be pushing this right now, especially with everything

217
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 5: that's going on in Iran. I don't know if it's

218
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 5: a good idea or a bad idea, But I again

219
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 5: keep going back to this. I got to give Trump

220
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 5: props for at least doing something. For decades, we've allowed

221
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 5: the cartels to just run wild down there, do whatever

222
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 5: they want to do, use human trafficking into the United States,

223
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 5: sell tons of drugs and push them across the border

224
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 5: into our country, and every president up until this point

225
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 5: is pretty much gone. Eah eah yeah, not our problem

226
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 5: got bigger fish to fry.

227
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 2: I give Trump all the credit in the world. Is

228
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: this going to work? I don't know, but at least

229
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: the guy is trying something.

230
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 6: And in the meantime, you have DHS, which is not

231
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 6: fully funded.

232
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 5: Not fully funded by the way, it's the Democrats that

233
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 5: are holding that up. If the Democrats would vote to

234
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 5: fund the DHS, that would get done and we would

235
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 5: end the partial government shut down, which, by the way,

236
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 5: is one of the reasons why TSA lines at airports

237
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 5: all across the country have been so awful this week.

238
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 6: And you've got Indiana Senator Todd Young.

239
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 4: He says that Indiana is now one of nine federal

240
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 4: our own testing sites and that could bring new tech

241
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 4: work also jobs to the state.

242
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 6: This is drone technology.

243
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 4: Drone test area is going to overlap with Camp Adderberry

244
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: Military training base, and Jung says that this could lead

245
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 4: to manufacturing and tech jobs for Hoosiers building the latest

246
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 4: and greatest drones. Okay, yeah, if they're going to do it,

247
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 4: bring it to Indiana.

248
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, if we can get some jobs out of this.

249
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 5: I think it's been clear, it's been proven with the

250
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 5: war in Ukraine the last several years that that is,

251
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 5: at least for the immediate near future, it's the future

252
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 5: of warfare, and it's going to be in all kinds

253
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 5: of drones, from cheap, inexpensive little ones to much larger

254
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 5: ones that kind of could be easily be mistaken for

255
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 5: an airplane. So if the federal government is going to

256
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 5: be moving a lot of the military budget in that direction,

257
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 5: and it looks like they probably are gonna slice that pie. Yeah,

258
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 5: then we'll take advantage of that and take a slice

259
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 5: of that pie. And this is probably where Governor Ron's

260
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 5: outstanding relationship with Donald Trump, and I'll give you Todd

261
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 5: Young and Jim Banks their relationship with Donald Trump. This

262
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 5: is where that comes into benefiting the state of Indiana

263
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 5: because they're able to convince him that Indiana is the

264
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 5: place to send some of that federal money and start

265
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 5: building and messing around with these drones.

266
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 4: We could make a long list of why they're the

267
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 4: biggest cooties we've ever seen.

268
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 6: However, in this area. Yeah, if that investment is going

269
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 6: to be made with your.

270
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 4: Tax dollars, at least bring it back to your home

271
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 4: state instead of shipping that out elsewhere.

272
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 6: You get the benefit from him.

273
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

274
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 5: And again, like I said, Governor Braun's been criticized a

275
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 5: lot for how closely he's aligned with Donald Trump, and

276
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 5: there is going to be some bad associated with it,

277
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 5: but there's also going to be some good and getting

278
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 5: that federal funding to the state is one of those areas.

279
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 4: National security and also high tech innovation. Shouldn't be a

280
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: writer left issue. That's a people issue.

281
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 5: Oh casey, it's all a writer left issue, and it's

282
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 5: all in us versus them issue when it comes to

283
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 5: spending our tax times.

284
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 6: Shouldn't be. Shouldn't be, but it is.

285
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 7: You're listening to NIGHTYBC.

286
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 4: When you have concentrated power and access inside a massive

287
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 4: public institution, danger danger, red flags. So we've got to

288
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 4: talk about the resignation of Walter ted Carter Junior as

289
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 4: the president of the Ohio State University over inappropriate relationship.

290
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 4: That's the inappropriate relationship. It was with someone who was

291
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 4: seeking public resources from the university. So the president of

292
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 4: the Ohio State University was having a relationship with a

293
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 4: person who was seeking resources from the university to support

294
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: her personal business.

295
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: Yikes.

296
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 5: Again, the Costanza defense is that wrong? Should I not

297
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 5: have done that? I got to plead ignorance here because

298
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 5: if I had known that that was frowned upon, I

299
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 5: never would have anything like that. Yeah, I mean, this

300
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 5: is we talked about it earlier. This is how seriously

301
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 5: that Michigan Ohio State rivalry is. Michigan football head coach

302
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 5: had an inappropriate relationship, got fired from his job last year.

303
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 5: Ohio states like, hey, we want in on some of that.

304
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 5: We'll do even better our presidents having an inappropriate relationship.

305
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 4: He told the Board of trustees that he quote made

306
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 4: a mistake in allowing inappropriate access to Ohio state leadership,

307
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 4: and then he offered to resign.

308
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 7: You think this is yeah, get out.

309
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 5: I am so sick of university scandals. I am so

310
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 5: sick of these universities that in most instances suck up

311
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 5: billions and billions of tax dollars across the country. Constant

312
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 5: scandals happening at these universities, and it seems like nobody

313
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 5: cares and nobody wants to hold them accountable for starters.

314
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 5: They were completely overrun by pro Palestinian and pro Hamas protesters.

315
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 5: A lot of criminal acts took place during that very

316
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 5: little was done to stop that. You had the Mission scandal,

317
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 5: remember that before COVID the Varsity Blues and Mission scandal,

318
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 5: where he had celebrities and rich people that were giving

319
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 5: a bunch of money to get their kids into these

320
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 5: elite institutions. The dean of medicine at USC was found

321
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 5: to allegedly be using illegal narcotics on school property and USC.

322
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 2: Covered it up.

323
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 5: So I mean, it seems like every time we turn

324
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 5: around everything oh oh, and then when Trump got into office,

325
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 5: he was very upset that these elite universities were ignoring

326
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 5: Supreme Court rulings and still using race in their admissions process.

327
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 5: Now Trump, finally, somebody, Trump did something about that and

328
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 5: basically strong armed them and forced them into a whole

329
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 5: bunch of settlements, not only with the financial penalties, but

330
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 5: also forcing them to change their acts. So, I just

331
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 5: somebody needs to do something to hold these universities accountable,

332
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 5: because every time we turn around, there's another massive scandal.

333
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 6: I wish somebody somewhere would do something.

334
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 4: Well, it turns out that this guy held himself accountable

335
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 4: because he resigned. It was accepted at a special board meeting,

336
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 4: became effective immediately. He'd only been in the job since

337
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 4: January of twenty four, so not that long, and already

338
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 4: just saw the power and influence he was wielding and said, yeah,

339
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 4: I can use this to my own personal benefit, And

340
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 4: so did the person he was having the inappropriate relationship with.

341
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 4: He was the university's seventeenth president. Of course, Ohio State

342
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: one of the nation's largest universities, over sixty thousand students.

343
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: They got a big budget, So this is a major

344
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 4: leadership shake up. The board has not named a replacement yet,

345
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 4: and they've got other people that are going to handle

346
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 4: the day to day operations while they searched for a

347
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: new president.

348
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 6: But I mean, come on, you've got.

349
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 4: Another university leader crossing ethical lines and this time involving

350
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 4: public resources, involving.

351
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 6: State tax payer dollars. Well, that's what it is.

352
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 5: So very similar to you know, when Trump cracked down

353
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 5: on a lot of the Ivy League universe and you know,

354
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 5: them ignoring certain Supreme Court rulings and still using race

355
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 5: in their admissions process. What he did was basically threatened

356
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 5: to withhold federal research funding and expenditures against them, and

357
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 5: that all of a sudden, And that's the way you're

358
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 5: gonna that's the only way we're gonna hold these universities

359
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 5: accountable is you got to hit them where it counts,

360
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 5: and that's financially. And so Trump Trump threatened to pull

361
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 5: all of that funding, forced a lot of them into

362
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 5: ultimately settlements.

363
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 2: But Ohio State University.

364
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 5: How much money do you think they got from the

365
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 5: federal government in twenty twenty five for federal research expenditures.

366
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 6: Oh, do you have that number?

367
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 2: I have the numbers.

368
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 5: So this is this is just Ohio State University money

369
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 5: they got from the federal government for research expenditures. And

370
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 5: this is just for twenty twenty five. How much, right

371
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 5: at eight hundred million dollars eight nearly a billion dollars

372
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 5: went to Ohio State University. And by the way, not

373
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 5: only did this guy have an inappropriate relationship, this president

374
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 5: of Ohio State University that just resigned, that's bad enough,

375
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 5: but it looks like he was funneling money to his

376
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 5: quote unquote girlfriends. Yes, organization, So that's so it's more

377
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 5: than just so you know, the University of Michigan football coach.

378
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 5: That's one thing he was, you know, had the inappropriate

379
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 5: relationship with the staffer.

380
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely bad, terrible. You gotta go. President of Ohio State

381
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 2: has that inappropriate relationship.

382
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 5: With the staffers, plus sending her organization tons and tons

383
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 5: of money.

384
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: So this is twice as bad as what happened to you.

385
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, stepping down the right call leaders at these institutions

386
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 4: they got to be held they should be held to

387
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 4: a higher standard, especially when you're talking about that large.

388
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 6: Amount of money and a taxpayer money, you're.

389
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 10: Listening to ninety three WIBC Kevin, Well done, Kevin.

390
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 7: Yes, my name is Casey. That's Jim. Thank you for

391
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 7: joining us this morning.

392
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 6: As you're driving around, Hey, look where you are.

393
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 4: If you're on seventy, guess what it could be costing

394
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 4: you more very soon. Earlier we talked about how Governor

395
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 4: Broun said that he's not going to rule out temporary

396
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 4: suspending the sales tax on gasoline if the war with

397
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 4: the RAN lasts longer than a few weeks. Says it's

398
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 4: too soon to see if that will be needed.

399
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 6: Though.

400
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 4: You know, you know one of the reasons why the

401
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 4: governor may be suspending the sales tax on gasoline.

402
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 7: Because he knows he's gonna have all sorts of money

403
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 7: rolling in from tolling.

404
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 5: Look, this is we've seen this coming a mile away.

405
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 5: The legislator in their session last year kind of got

406
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 5: this ball rolling with some legislation, and so we knew

407
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 5: that this was moving in that direction. We know that

408
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 5: Governor Braun has a lot of friends and allies in Washington, DC,

409
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 5: and that's kind of the next phase here. We need

410
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 5: to wait for the federal government to allow Indiana to

411
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 5: turn I seventy into a toll road. I'm gonna guess

412
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 5: that that's not gonna be real difficult for Braun to

413
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 5: pull on. It's gonna be a problem, not gonna be

414
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 5: real tough for him to do. I was a little

415
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 5: I was interesting that he did talk a little bit

416
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 5: about how much it would cost, about ten cents a mile,

417
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 5: And just so that you know, if you travel from

418
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 5: one end of I seventy to the other within the

419
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 5: state of Indiana, that's about one hundred and fifty miles,

420
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 5: So you're looking at about fifteen bucks just to drive

421
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 5: across the state of Indiana. Yep, on what you know,

422
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 5: maybe a new toll road on I seventy.

423
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 4: So the I seventy toll debate, it shows that the

424
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 4: infrastructure dilemma, right if gas taxes aren't paying for it,

425
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 4: they're just going to pass it on to us.

426
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,719
Speaker 6: And other ways like tolling.

427
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 4: Or is this just horrible mismanagement of funds because we're

428
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 4: being told that, you know, the gas tax is what

429
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 4: hays the roads. There's a thirteen mile stretch on ICE

430
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: seventy right now that is under construction.

431
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 7: It's been that.

432
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 6: Way for about a year now, and it is horrible.

433
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

434
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 4: Second, you cross the state line, you know you're in Indiana.

435
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 5: And we can look, I'll get this new toll road

436
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 5: that's likely coming as an additional tax, because that's what

437
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 5: it is.

438
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: Good.

439
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 5: By the way, our state just absolutely loves taxing you here.

440
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 5: I mean income taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, gas taxes,

441
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 5: local income taxes. You've got an alcohol and beverage tax,

442
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 5: vehicle registrations.

443
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 2: They don't call that a tax, but it's a tax

444
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: and we know it.

445
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 5: And by the way, if you got a hybrid or

446
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 5: an electric car, you're going to pay more because when

447
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 5: the government can't get your money at the gas pump

448
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 5: because you drive an electric vehicle or a hybrid, they're

449
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 5: going to charge you more to register your vehicle. And

450
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 5: they do that, and then there's a wheel tax. That's

451
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 5: just when I came up off the top of my head.

452
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,479
Speaker 5: I'm sure there's plenty of other taxes out there that

453
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 5: are you here. And keep in mind too, there's already

454
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 5: been a toll road in the state of Indiana for

455
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 5: decades in northern Indiana. Yeah, so Mitch Daniels sold that

456
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 5: one off to private entities. Oh geez, that was probably

457
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 5: about twenty years ago for the Major Moves project. So

458
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 5: the state isn't getting any money from that toll road

459
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 5: up in northern Indiana anymore because we got that big

460
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 5: lump sum payout about twenty years ago. And here we

461
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 5: are still not good enough. Fifth highest gas tax in

462
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 5: the country. Not good enough. Gotta have a.

463
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: Toll road on I seventy.

464
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 4: So you've got the governor who has formally applied for

465
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 4: federal permission to charge tolls on Interstate seventy and that

466
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 4: would be, like you.

467
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 6: Mentioned, fifteen dollars and sixty cents.

468
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 4: For a car to drive the entire length of I

469
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 4: seventy across Indiana. It's likely to start around twenty twenty nine.

470
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 6: Okay.

471
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 4: It's a six point five billion dollar plan for rebuilding

472
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 4: and widening the entire highway mostly still has four lanes,

473
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 4: but says it can't be done with the current funding

474
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 4: without the toll revenue.

475
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 6: They want to widen the lanes, they want to make

476
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 6: them better, they can't do it without the toll money.

477
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 5: By the way, Kentucky are our neighbor to the South.

478
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 5: You know what they did with their gas tax last year,

479
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 5: They reduced it. Kentucky actually lowered their gas tax last year.

480
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 5: Why we can't do anything similar here in Indiana. In fact,

481
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 5: we're going the opposite direction, and our gas tax is

482
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 5: still super super high. That's not enough time for toll roads.

483
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 5: So let's roll them out in the whole state of Indiana.

484
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 4: So the state transportation officials, they say that the gas

485
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 4: tax revenue and the federal funds, they're not enough to

486
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 4: cover all the massive reconstruction. It would take decades to

487
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 4: finish without the tolls. So you've got the proposed rate

488
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 4: about ten cents per mile for cars, hire for large trucks,

489
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 4: about fifty four cents per mile for trucks, meaning that

490
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 4: big rig could pay about eighty dollars for a full trip.

491
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 5: And that's how they're selling this. They're selling this as

492
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 5: we have we are the crossroads of America. We've got

493
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 5: so much trucking and other traffic that goes across our state.

494
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 5: They can easily drive across the state and not stop

495
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 5: for gas because that's where we get our road money

496
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 5: is through the fifth highest gas tax in the nation.

497
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 2: And so they're selling this to us.

498
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 5: Oh, we've got to capture that revenue from all of

499
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 5: these out of state people. Oh, by the way, you're

500
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 5: going to pay for it too, but we're selling it. It

501
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 5: is the fact that this is going to be out

502
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 5: of state truckers and other drivers is really the point

503
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 5: of all of this. US Indiana residents just getting caught

504
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 5: up in all that nonsense.

505
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 4: So they're saying that these tolls would be electronic open

506
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 4: road tolling, so you're not going to have to stop

507
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 4: at a booth, and the chargers are just going to

508
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 4: be recorded as cars pass under the sensors. So now

509
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 4: you've got the additional idea that as you drive across

510
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 4: the state, big brothers watching you absolutely scan your license plate.

511
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 4: And you thought that they wanted those fashion black and

512
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 4: white plates just because they look cool. No gang cameras

513
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 4: can pick those up, so good.

514
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're talking about the alternate license plate that's available

515
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 5: in the state of Indiana that's black on white, and

516
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 5: they've been very popular. I've seen a lot of them

517
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 5: on the toll roads. By the way, those are attemptive

518
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 5: move much more easily detectable, not only by toll road cameras,

519
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 5: but by the neighborhood flock cameras and they're going to

520
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 5: be capturing your data. Yeah, they're going to capture your

521
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 5: data the entire way. So it's another intrusion from big Brother.

522
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 5: And there's essentially nothing that we can do about this.

523
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 5: This has moved so far, so far down the road.

524
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 5: I don't see any scenario where this doesn't happen.

525
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, So you've got Jalen Smith.

526
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 4: He has played guilty in a federal betting scandal that

527
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 4: tied to that NCAA Division One men's baseball basketball game.

528
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 4: I remember we were talking about this a while ago

529
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 4: when this story broke. The prosecutors say that he is

530
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 4: one of the people who recruited players and paid them

531
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 4: to underperform so bets against their teams would win a

532
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 4: point shaving scheme.

533
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 2: Here's the problem.

534
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 5: And look, there have been point shaving scandals and betting

535
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 5: scandals in college basketball going back to the sixties and seventies.

536
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 5: It was a lot harder to find them back then.

537
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 5: And this is a pretty big scandal here. Thirty nine

538
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 5: players from seventeen schools involved in fixing over twenty nine

539
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 5: games during the twenty three and twenty four season, as

540
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 5: well as the twenty four NY twenty five season. Here

541
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 5: is why I think we're going to keep hearing a lot.

542
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: More at this.

543
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 5: It's a lot easier to catch these guys these days

544
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 5: because back then in the seventies and eighties, you were

545
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 5: placing bets with your bookie, and the bookie was involved

546
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 5: with other things, and that might have been the person

547
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 5: that was paying off the players for point shaving. But

548
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 5: now all the betting takes place on your phone, DraftKings

549
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 5: and FanDuel and all the other betting apps. That's where

550
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 5: the betting takes place. And these these gambling apps DraftKings

551
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 5: and FanDuel and the others. They've even it's been reported

552
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 5: that they're using artificial intelligence to be able to look

553
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 5: at all the data so they can find betting irregularity.

554
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 6: Any anomalies, and that's how a lot of.

555
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 2: These guys get caught.

556
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 5: There have been some other betting scandals that were talked about,

557
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 5: the one in baseball recently where all of a sudden,

558
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 5: this was some inconsequential game where usually there's only a

559
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 5: couple of thousand dollars on this very specific bet with

560
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 5: inside the game, and then one game showed up and

561
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 5: people were throwing tens and tens and tens of thousands

562
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 5: of dollars on this gay on this one bet, and

563
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 5: that raises red flags at these betting companies, and then

564
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 5: they pass that information along to the federal authorities.

565
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 2: So I think that we're a couple of things.

566
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 5: There's more sports gambling happening than ever before, and it's

567
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 5: all being done on your phone in the betting apps,

568
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 5: and so but in addition to that, it's much easier

569
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 5: to catch these because those betting apps can spot those

570
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 5: betting and regularities a lot, a lot more easy than

571
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 5: they could, you know, back in the eighties when you

572
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 5: were placing bets with your bookie.

573
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 4: So he was roughly what one of twenty six people

574
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: being charged in the investigation that he was the first

575
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 4: one to enter a guilty play.

576
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 5: Yes, Jalen Smith is the gentleman who pled guilty to

577
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 5: wire for aud and bribery.

578
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 4: It's not just about gambling, though, because this is also

579
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 4: a betrayal of the fans, an honest competition and integrity

580
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 4: for college sports as well.

581
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 6: I mean it runs the gamut, right.

582
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 5: I'm smiling over here because you're using words like betrayal

583
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 5: of the fans and the integrity of college athletics.

584
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 2: I mean gay.

585
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 4: You want to when you're rooting for someone or cheering

586
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 4: for someone, you.

587
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 6: Want to cheer for the good guy, right.

588
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 4: You want to think that they're doing it because of

589
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 4: the love of the sport and the athleticism, not because

590
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 4: they're on the take because they could be making thirty

591
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 4: grand a game if they perform poorly, Look, they take

592
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 4: a fall.

593
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 5: I agree with you completely, but I bet it's just

594
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 5: funny because there's just you know, with nil and the transfer.

595
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 2: Portal and this so much money.

596
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 5: This isn't the first betting scandal, and you've got scandals

597
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 5: that happened in athletic departments all over the place. We

598
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 5: just spent, you know, earlier this hour talking about the

599
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 5: Michigan head coach and his scandal. It wasn't betting related,

600
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 5: but still a scandal. The college sports has kind of

601
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 5: been a mess for a long time. This surround table

602
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 5: at the White House, Yeah, exactly, And this is just

603
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 5: another example of it.

604
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 2: It's just a modern day example.

605
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 5: With so much sports betting going on, it is no

606
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 5: surprise that there are people that are trying to fix

607
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 5: games and if they can give these kids, which I'm

608
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 5: a little bit surprised on this, I thought nil was

609
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 5: supposed to you know, clear up a lot of this.

610
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 5: We're paying the players now. They should have plenty of

611
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 5: money to do whatever they want. And a lot of

612
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 5: these kids took anywhere from ten to thirty thousand dollars

613
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 5: to be part of this, this betting scheme.

614
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 4: Okay, So in more sports news, did you hear that

615
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 4: PETA People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, They want

616
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 4: Butler University to stop using a live bulldog mascot. Instead,

617
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 4: they want them to adopt a bullfrog mascot. They want

618
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 4: them to you know, wear a little uniform instead of

619
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 4: the bulldog.

620
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 5: I saw this, and usually we kind of ignore anything

621
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 5: PETA does because they're just out of their minds and crazy.

622
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 5: But I found fascinating about this story that I guess

623
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 5: they care about the dog more than they do a frog,

624
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 5: because normally Peter would come.

625
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 6: Out and say frog costume, not a real not a

626
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 6: real n.

627
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 5: Not only are they against the live mascot bulldog that

628
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 5: Butler currently has, so they don't it's not just good

629
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 5: enough to get rid of the live mascot.

630
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: They want them to change their name.

631
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 5: To the Bullfrogs and then also not bring in a

632
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 5: live frog as a mascot.

633
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 2: Is that what I'm hearing?

634
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 6: Cleanly rebrand?

635
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah right, it seems a little. It seems a little

636
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: odd for Peter because.

637
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 5: Usually they just come in and say, hey, you shouldn't

638
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 5: do this in this stinks and you should just get

639
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 5: rid of any animal mention associated with your with your team.

640
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: I'm surprised they gave the bullfrog as an option.

641
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 4: The bulldog mascot has been part of the school for decades,

642
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 4: so you're not just gonna swap it out with a

643
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 4: frog costume. Because a group of people complained about it,

644
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 4: a bunch of activists who who don't like it, they

645
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 4: had they submitted a ribbiting proposal to the presence.

646
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 5: Is that how they put it, pete a ribbit, ribbiting proposal.

647
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 6: Ribbiting proposals.

648
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: These people are un serious.

649
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, what's so far?

650
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 6: The university has not responded.

651
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 4: And finally another thing in sports, let's talk about the

652
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 4: World Baseball Classic USA one five to three over Mexico.

653
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 6: Little National Pride with that win.

654
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a big deal. The World Baseball Classic

655
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 5: has gotten bigger and bigger. It happens every three years.

656
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 5: It's kind of along the same lines of the Olympics.

657
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 5: All the players play for their home countries and then

658
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 5: we compete against each other to see who's the best.

659
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 5: So last time it was played in twenty twenty three

660
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 5: and one. USA had a great game last night versus Mexico, which,

661
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 5: by the way, that's the first time Team USA has

662
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 5: beaten Mexico in over twenty years.

663
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: I was thrown by that.

664
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 7: Paul Skeans was on fire.

665
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 5: Paul Skeens. Is there any it's good to beat Paul Skeens.

666
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 5: He's just about the best player in baseball right now,

667
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 5: certainly one of the best pitchers. He had a spectacular

668
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 5: game last night. He's dating Livy Dunn, a former gymnast

669
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 5: from LSU and now an influencer and works with the WWE.

670
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 5: There's nothing that Paul Skeans can't do right now because

671
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 5: he is just absolutely on fire.

672
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: But that whole team is spectacular.

673
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 5: I mean, you've got Aaron Judge as part of that team,

674
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 5: You've got Bryce Harper as part of that team. It

675
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 5: is literally an all star team and they go against

676
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 5: The next game is tonight nine o'clock tonight they take

677
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 5: on Italy, so that.

678
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 4: Puts them in a pretty good position to advance because

679
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 4: they've now won three to nothing.

680
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're undefeated in the group round.

681
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 5: And this will go on for the next week or so,

682
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 5: and then we'll eventually have another World Baseball Classic Championship.

683
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 7: You're listening to nine three DYBC. Good morning.

684
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 4: Are we writing some of the many wrongs that have

685
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 4: been done to America and her citizens? This came out

686
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 4: about a month ago, but it's being pushed out a

687
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 4: lot harder now and I think it qualifies for the

688
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 4: best audio of the day. It was an emotionally charged moment.

689
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 4: You have the Undersecretary of the Navy apologizing on camera

690
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 4: to every sailor and marine who is kicked out of

691
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 4: the military for refusing the COVID nineteen vaccine.

692
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 11: To the sailors and Marines who are wrongly discharged during COVID,

693
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 11: we failed you. We will never allow this to happen again,

694
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 11: not on my watch. We are ready for you to

695
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 11: come back, and we want to correct your records. You

696
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 11: are warrior's conscience and we need people like you back

697
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 11: in the force to accomplish peace through strength. We're writing

698
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 11: this wrong, and it starts with this formal letter of

699
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 11: apology at hu yah.

700
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 4: Will that include back pay and promotions commensurate to their timing.

701
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 5: It's been discussed. I don't think that's been finalized. But

702
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 5: the way our government and most of our culture operated

703
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 5: during COVID is a national embarrassment and it's not talked

704
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 5: about enough, and it seems like absolutely nobody was held

705
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 5: accountable for it.

706
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: People lost their jobs. Lots of people lost their jobs.

707
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 5: Now this person, the Under Secretary of the Navy, talking

708
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 5: about and apologizing specifically to the members of the military

709
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 5: who were forced into vaccinations, many of them against their will.

710
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 5: But there are a lot of private sector employees that

711
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 5: were forced to get vaccinations or under the threat of

712
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 5: losing their jobs. A lot of people lost their jobs

713
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 5: because they refuse to get the vaccine. And you had

714
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 5: President Joe Biden saying things like you're not going to

715
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 5: get COVID if you get these vaccinations. We know that

716
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 5: that's not true. I had to get COVID vaccinations to

717
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 5: keep my job at the time, and still got COVID

718
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 5: after I was given the vaccination. Anthony Fauci, when you

719
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 5: get vaccinated you contribute to the community health by preventing

720
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 5: the spread of the virus. In other words, you become

721
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 5: a dead end to the virus. We found out that

722
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 5: that was absolutely not true, that if you got the vaccine,

723
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 5: you could not only get the virus, you could still

724
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 5: spread the virus. The director of the CDC said, vaccinated

725
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 5: people do not carry the virus, they don't get sick.

726
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 5: All of that was untrue. There was discussion people talking

727
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 5: people that suggested that if you hadn't gotten vaccinated, you

728
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 5: shouldn't be allowed to go to a hospital for any

729
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 5: problem at all. They were talking about if you didn't

730
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 5: get vaccinated, you were going to kill grandma. The way

731
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 5: our government and culture operated during COVID in a lot

732
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 5: of ways a disaster. I'm just talking about specifically the

733
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 5: vaccine as it relates to right now. But this is

734
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 5: one small step and apologizing to our men and women

735
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 5: in the military, and it's not enough and not by

736
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 5: a long shot.

737
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 4: And when I look at the calendar and I realize, oh,

738
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 4: six years ago today.

739
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 5: Is that it is March tenth, the anniversary of when

740
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 5: the whole country got shut down because of COVID.

741
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: You're exactly right.

742
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, have we recovered Not everyone, not even close

743
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 4: the world and our country is forever different because of COVID.

744
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 7: It is ninety three WYBC
