It gives people the opportunity to have 68 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: on whether we become a city. I would guess our 69 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: goal is probably sometime in February to have these signatures 70 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: wrapped up and then and this is the best part, guys, 71 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: we get to turn them into a public meeting and 72 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: I get to give a speech. 73 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: Oh fantastic, That's what this really is about.

So, for those who don't know, I spent many 91 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: a lonely night in my twenties at the Brownsburg Applebee's, 92 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: and Hammer and I created a composite of the kind 93 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: middle aged lady who always was working the bar. I mean, 94 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: there were many of them, but they were always sort 95 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: of the same person, and we turned her into a 96 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: fictitious character named Cheryl. 97 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 3: Got off the Rails with Rob Kendall from the Kendall 98 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 3: and Casey show ninety three WIBC Rob Tuck on a 99 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: national level here just a minute, very adamant about your 100 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 3: thoughts on the ice shooting that took place in Minneapolis. 101 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 3: What this means for people who watch this everywhere, and 102 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 3: law enforcement and the reaction to the media, Democrats reaction 103 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: to this, everything all in one here. What's your take? 104 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: Well, this is look years ago. I'll never forget. I said, 105 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: like two am in the morning in broad Ripple, I 106 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: had a conversation with an IMPD officer and I'd like 107 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: watched them throw some dude in the paddy wagon. And 108 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: so I went up to him and hus stocket to him, 109 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: and he said, the last thing we want to do 110 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: is do is deal with crazy people like we come 111 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: here to keep people safe and we get no joy 112 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: out of having to do this. He said, don't think 113 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: that's the wrong way. I don't want to know you, 114 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with you. And I think 115 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: that's true for all law enforcement. They would love nothing 116 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: more than everybody just to follow the law and do 117 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: as they're supposed to do. And these ICE agents. You 118 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: watch that video, Clearly the woman is blocking traffic. Clearly 119 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: she was given numerous directives. She defied the directives, and 120 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: then she starts her automobile and is driving towards this guy. 121 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: What was he supposed to do? The guy looking appears 122 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: to be acted in self defense. The guy is there 123 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: on the orders of the President of the United States 124 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: and his administration. The guy is there trying to clean 125 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: up and enforce an apprehend people who broke the law 126 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: who are in this country. And yet the Democrats are 127 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: trying to make law enforcement out to be the bad guys. 128 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 4: Rob How much does rhetoric play into what's happened here? 129 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 4: We hear about this all the time. Anytime there's an 130 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 4: assassination attempt or an actual assassination or something like this, 131 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 4: everybody says, let's turn the temperature down, and that happens 132 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 4: for about twenty four hours, and then the temperature gets 133 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 4: ramped right back up. Does rhetoric from politicians and the 134 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 4: media for that matter, play into all this? 135 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,799 Speaker 1: Well, these people go to their corners, right and people 136 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: look for affirmation, And I think social media is a 137 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: huge part of this, where it clicks and likes society, 138 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: where anybody believes they can have some level of relevance, 139 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: and the relevance to them is acceptance, and acceptance and 140 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: social media is found in the extremes. Look, you'd have 141 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 1: to be an insane person to think that these guys, 142 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: these Ice agents of all the places in the world, 143 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: they're like, cool, let's go to Minnesota. That sounds like 144 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: fun in January, right, And clearly they're giving this woman instructions. 145 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: She's clearly not listening. She clearly starts the automobile and 146 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: is driving towards this guy. And instead of look, if 147 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: you want to have doubts about whether the guy acted 148 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: appropriately or not, okay, that's fine, But you would say 149 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,119 Speaker 1: something like, hey, we need to let all the facts 150 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: come out, let's have a thorough investigation, let's hope this 151 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: guy was actually the himself. But instead that the fault 152 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: position of the Democrats is Ice is evil, law enforcement bad. 153 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: He's a murderer. And you just say, why would any 154 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: thank god people want to do it? But why would 155 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: any person want that job? Now? 156 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 3: And you talked about this on your show. I heard 157 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 3: when Ethan was filling in for Casey earlier this morning 158 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: in this week, Rob is that you know what, like 159 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 3: that's not a winning strategy for Democrats, is it? Like 160 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 3: maybe you want to vote Democrat. Maybe you don't like 161 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 3: Donald Trump, but you see what they're spouting off at 162 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 3: the mouth at and it's like, no, I don't want 163 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 3: any of that either, So I guess I'll just vote 164 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: for this guy, the Orange Man. 165 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. It's horrible. I mean people always say that, why 166 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: are you cheering for the Democrats. I'm not sharing because 167 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: I want their form of governance. I'm chearing for them 168 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: to get their act together. Because the Republicans, especially in 169 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: this state, recognize, no matter what we do, the taxes 170 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: we raise, the government, we grow the corruption, the crony capitalism. 171 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what they do, because the other side 172 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,119 Speaker 1: is so that people look at that and go, Okay. 173 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: We recognize our taxes are bad, we recognize the government's inefficient, 174 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: we recognize things like the IEDC or A are a 175 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: total waste of our money. But look at what the 176 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: other option is, and we can't have that. And when 177 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: the Democrats come out and they're calling these ice agents 178 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: murderers or thugs or criminals, people look at it and go, 179 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking middle of the road. You know, normal people 180 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: look at that and they just say no, And that's 181 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: crazy that you're condemning people who are trying to enforce 182 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: the laws of this country. 183 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 4: We're going off the rails with Rob Kendall from the 184 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: Kendall and Casey Show nine to noon here at ninety 185 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 4: three WIBC. So Rob, this past week, Governor Braun came 186 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 4: by spoke to us in studio. We asked about property taxes, 187 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 4: because I know your audience, you know, begs me to 188 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 4: do that, and you're welcome, like we could be talking 189 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 4: about the colts or anything else and your crowd's going 190 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 4: to come in here property taxes. So we asked them 191 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 4: about property taxes and he said that now probably looking more. 192 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 2: Like twenty twenty seven when it's a budget session. 193 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: Well that's fascinating and it's prob far for him because 194 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: he lies about everything. So all year last year, including 195 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: my face, and the last time I met with him, 196 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: he was talking about, well, coming back for more. This 197 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: is just the first step he met with that group 198 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: of conservative activists. He said, I got an ace up 199 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: my sleep. It was all next year, next year, next year, 200 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: next year. You guys, just be patient. And then he 201 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: comes on your show and goes, no, we're not doing that. No, No, 202 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 1: he did say, you know who's going to get something 203 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: on property tax I don't know if you guys thought this. 204 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: The schools and the towns, they're going to do something 205 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: for them because they bitched the loudest, or they fear 206 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: them the most. But he is now totally backtracked on 207 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: what he told me and numerous other people that this 208 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: was some four year plan. This was some four year 209 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: thing that he had big plans for this year. And 210 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: he told you guys, and you guys are great at 211 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: getting the information. He said, we're not doing anything. He 212 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: thinks that bill is great. He thinks all you deserved 213 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: was two hundred dollars. Hey, your property taxes might have 214 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: doubled or tripled or for some people quadrupled, but he 215 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: thinks he's doing you some sort of favor by giving 216 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: you two hundred dollars back. 217 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 4: And I've told this to the governor what he's been 218 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 4: in studio, told it right to his face. We've had 219 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 4: a disagreement about this. When I hear the argument of well, 220 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 4: more Republicans need to go to these city council meetings 221 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 4: and school board meetings and complain the way the other 222 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 4: side does. That's not who Republicans are rob Republicans are 223 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 4: the ones that are taking their kids to events. They're 224 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 4: the ones with jobs. We're not the protest people, and 225 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 4: we never really have been the protest people. 226 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: Well, I look at the thing that he said. He 227 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: took that little veiled swipe at me about being heard 228 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: in the building, the guy that's a complainer, and he 229 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: basically said that I need to shut up and get 230 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: back on board with him. Look, nobody worked harder for 231 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: Mike Braun to get his property tax plan, for him 232 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 1: to succeed over a year's period of time. Mike Braun 233 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: is the guy who didn't live up to the expectation 234 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: that he set for everyone. At no point during that 235 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: whole year long campaign when he was running for governor, 236 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: that after he got elected governor or, when he was 237 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: rolling up his sleeves that are our rally, at no 238 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: point was like, well, you're gonna get scraps, maybe you'll 239 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: get two hundred dollars. He is the one who set 240 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: those expectations. We delivered for him. We sent tens of 241 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: thousands of emails and phone calls. I guarantee you those 242 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: reps got far more emails and phone calls than they did. 243 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: People that are showing up a town council meetings, showing 244 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: up at school board meetings. Those emails and phone calls 245 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: were sent. Mike Braun cave. Mike Braun didn't deliver, And 246 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: the reason he didn't deliver is his heart was never 247 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: in it. He was telling people what they wanted to 248 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: hear so that they would vote for him. And I'm 249 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: guilty of that. I wanted to believe that's so bad. 250 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: I wanted this so bad for people that I said, 251 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: I'll take a flyer on this guy and his little 252 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: stooge underling, Micah beck With, who by the way, he's 253 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: all on board with Beckwood. Now you guys asked him 254 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: about it, he said, he loves beckw He knows that 255 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: grand jury is investigating Micah beck With for the AI 256 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: porn stuff. He knows they're investigating him in his office 257 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: for the ghost employment, and yet he went on your 258 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: show and said, how great beck With this. So anything 259 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: that happens as a result of that investigation, he owns it. Now, 260 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: Mike Brawn is a sad, disgusting person. And I'm going 261 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: to spend the rest of my time that I have 262 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: on this radio station making sure as many people know 263 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: who he is as possible. 264 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: He's in angry. 265 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 4: Else we're going off the rails with Rob Rob last 266 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 4: thing here before we let you go. I know how 267 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 4: you tend to fly off to handle things from time 268 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 4: to time. It's literally the name of this segment, Off 269 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 4: the Rails. So how are you handling the news that 270 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 4: your Chicago Bears finally make the playoffs. You're playing against 271 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 4: your most bitter rival, the biggest rivalry in the NFL, 272 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 4: Green Bay at Chicago, and the game is on a 273 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 4: streaming outlet, and I know you're not going to pay 274 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 4: to watch. 275 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: I'm betting against the Bears. That's how I'm believe. I've 276 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: already had this gunversation. Look, nothing would make me happier 277 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: than to have an entire eight months or what happens 278 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: to the rest of the playoff that if the Bears 279 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: eliminated the Green Bay Packers from the playoffs. So Hammer, 280 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 1: we've already talked about this. I'm doing the fifty dollars 281 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: wager on the Packers money line. That way, I can't 282 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: lose the game. Either I win money or the Bears 283 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: win the game, and either way I have a secured 284 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: happiness for another week. 285 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 3: That's like five hundred dollars in rob Kindle dollars, right. 286 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: I mean fifty?
