1 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: Exploiting autism families to milk medicaid is about as low 2 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: as it gets. Self report by April third or face 3 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: the Feds. It's not a soft deadline. It's their last 4 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: chance before the door kicks in. What are we talking about, Well, 5 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: the FSSA Indiana some state officials they're anticipating a federal 6 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: investigation into the state's autism therapy program following a publication 7 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: of that recent Wall Street Journal article that called autism 8 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: therapy Medicaid's fastest growing jackpot, and it's happening here in Indiana. 9 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: And the FSSA Secretary Mitch Rube, he held a meeting 10 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: and he said, you know what you've got April third, 11 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: that's the deadline to self report your business practices that 12 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: could be considered fraud, waste and abuse. Sounds good, But 13 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: are we really asking them to self report? Yeah, that 14 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of teeth in it. 15 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: No, not at all. Yeah, self report. Hey, if you 16 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: scammed us, please let us know. Yeah, that sounds like 17 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: a good strategy. So there's two things here. There's what's 18 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 2: happened in the past, and that was what's happened in 19 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 2: the past was highlighted with this Wall Street Journal called 20 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal article that came out a couple of 21 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: weeks ago, and so that's happened in the past. And 22 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: by the way, we're talking about like twenty twenty three. 23 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: And so I certainly don't blame anybody in the current administration, 24 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: Governor Braun or any of the agency heads because they 25 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: weren't there. That was under the previous Hulkome administration. But 26 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: what happened in the past wasn't at least from the 27 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal article, wasn't waste fraud in abuse. It 28 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: was just a total lack of oversight on the Indiana's 29 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: state agencies. And in fact, it talks about this this 30 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: autism company called Peace by Piece Autism Centers, and the 31 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: woman who runs the com companies quoted in the Wall 32 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: Street Journal article and just talked about how she was 33 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: essentially raising her rates and that they were within and 34 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 2: complied with Indiana State's rules, and the state never objected 35 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 2: to her pricing despite the fact that she was charging 36 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 2: over three hundred thousand dollars a year to treat one patient. 37 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: Seems like a lot of money. And in fact, she's 38 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 2: quoted as saying, I don't think Indiana really had any. 39 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: Oversight or not much. That's the problem. 40 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 2: So I object to the way that a lot of 41 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: these state agencies talking about now are talking about waste 42 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: fraud and abuse. 43 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 3: No, that wasn't it. 44 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: That is language that absolves the state from the responsibility 45 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: that they had to put oversight in place in the past. 46 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: That's a huge problem in my opinion. Now going forward, Yeah, 47 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: it's a little shady that they're like, hey, if you 48 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: scammed us, please let us know. We want you to 49 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: self report. Now, there may be legitimate waste fraud and 50 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: abuse that's taking place, and I hope that the FSSA 51 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 2: certainly digs into that and finds it, and it might 52 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: be that the FEDS are going to get involved. 53 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 3: On it now. 54 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: But I want to point out real importantly that according 55 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: to this Wall Street Journal article from a couple of 56 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: weeks ago that triggered all of this conversation, it doesn't 57 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: appear that these autism centers in Indiana, or at least 58 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: this one highlighted in the Wall Street journalal our article, 59 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 2: did anything wrong. In fact, it sounds like who was 60 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: in the wrong was the state because there were no 61 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 2: restrictions and rules, or at least not enough restrictions, rules 62 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: and regulations as part of it. 63 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: So the focus should be then cutting down on misuse 64 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: of taxpayer money. If it's connected to expensive or questionable 65 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: billing practices, well it's the. 66 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 3: Lack of it's the lack of oversight on this. 67 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: Look, we just had this conversation about Minneapolis and the 68 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 2: Somali daycares. There, things were running them up and there 69 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: was no oversight and there was no accountability. That's the 70 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: government's responsibility for doing that. Now, I'm not saying that 71 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: this is the exact same thing that's happening here in Indiana, 72 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: but it looks like what happened in this article in 73 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: twenty three was the state. The state didn't have the oversight. 74 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: So I'm not going to blame this woman that runs 75 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: this autism company that she just kept raising her prices 76 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: and again they complied with Indiana's rules and the state 77 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: never objected to it. So how about we get our 78 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: state oversight in order first, and then we can worry 79 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: about the rest of it if there's any additional waste, 80 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: fraud and abuse beyond that. 81 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: And keep in mind, cleaning this up isn't anti autism, 82 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: it's pro child because Obviously you want the money to 83 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: go where it's supposed to be going, but state leaders 84 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: say that they want to boost oversight like you mentioned, 85 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: also accountability and quality of care while still controlling the cost. Now, 86 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: speaking of costs, the one that you think about a lot, 87 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: Indiana utility regulators questioned the state's largest energy companies about 88 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: their rising rates after years of raid hikes that have 89 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: so many people frustrated. The companies involved are the state's 90 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: big five investor own you util and you've got the 91 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: i u r C talking with them about their prices 92 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: and the regulators they're asking for affordability and transparency as 93 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: your electric bill has climbed and many Hoosiers are struggling 94 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: to pay these costs. 95 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and the i u r C, you know, called 96 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 2: in the big five investor owned utility companies. And so 97 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: that's AES, Indiana, Center, Point Energy of Indiana, Duke Energy 98 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 2: of Indiana, Indiana, Michigan Power in Nipscoe. So you're likely 99 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 2: covered by one of those groups here, and I think 100 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: what frustrates a lot of Hoosiers. And look, this is 101 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: good and there's gonna be these public hearings on energy 102 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 2: rate affordability and that's fine, that's good. 103 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 3: We should do that. But it can't end there. 104 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 2: And it seems like there's a lot of frustration among 105 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 2: Hoosiers because there's. 106 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 3: A lot of talk. 107 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: There's a lot of talk about meetings, and there's a 108 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: lot of talk about committees. 109 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 3: Oh and I promise this. 110 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: Time, Mark course, Yeah, this time we're gonna, you know, 111 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: hold people accountable. But there doesn't seem to be a 112 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 2: lot of Oh and by the way, the new head 113 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: of the iurc Andy's a longtime state lawmaker, lots of 114 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: ties to energy interests. So again understandable if hoosiers are 115 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 2: skeptical because you put a guy in there who had 116 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: real strong ties to energy interests and now he's part 117 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 2: of the regulatory group that's overseeing those same energy interests. 118 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: What I think hoosiers want is some action on all 119 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 2: of this. Talk is good, but it can't be just talk. Eventually, 120 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: Indiana lawmakers are going to have to do something to 121 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: make life more affordable for the average, every day Hoosier 122 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: because people are getting priced out of living their lives. 123 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 2: Proof point. We've got the data. It came out in February. 124 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 2: The state of Indiana was ranked number one in the 125 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 2: nation for home foreclosures per capita number one in the nation, 126 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 2: proof that the lives of every day Hoosiers is becoming 127 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: more and more unaffordable. 128 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, we've seen significant increases in electricity and gas costs, 129 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: and some people are reporting their bills are much higher 130 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: year every year. The iu RC's work is meant to 131 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: balance utility company costs and returns with customers ability to pay. 132 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: But if your utility bill just goes up every year 133 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: and the company is posting record profits, they need that's 134 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: not capitalism, that's a racket. Well, it is a rare. 135 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: There needs to be more of a. 136 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: Balance, agreed, And that's because these utilities are essentially monopolies 137 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: in each area that they serve throughout the state, and 138 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: that's why they have the i u r C there 139 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: to kind of add an extra layer of regulation under 140 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: those utility monopolies. But but this is going it's gonna 141 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 2: take more than just affordability hearings. It's gonna take more 142 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: than just i u r C hearings and have these discussions. 143 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: Sure that's a great photo op. 144 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: Sure that may score you some political points, and the 145 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: lawmakers can sit here and say, well, look what we're doing. 146 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,239 Speaker 2: We're having these meetings and we're having this listening tour 147 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: and we're doing all this other stuff. And the Hoosiers 148 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: are going, yeah, but my energy rates are still going up. Yeah, 149 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: but we're talking about it, right, Yeah, but we're meeting 150 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: about it well. 151 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: And that's the thing. They are holding these affordability listening 152 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: sessions around Indiana so that you can directly share your 153 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: complaints about the high bills. But there needs to be 154 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: a solution. Going into a room and just complaining to 155 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: a panel of people that you're paying too much. That's 156 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: not going to get anything accomplished. 157 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 3: It's not it's it's good. 158 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 2: I'm glad we're doing it, but it can't be the 159 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: only step that people take, and that the regulars take 160 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: in this situation. 161 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: Now, rate payers are ticked off and they should be, well, 162 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: I'm not. 163 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: There's no simple solution here. 164 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 2: Look, if you want rate relief, you need to really 165 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: rethink how utilities are regulated, how those costs are passed 166 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 2: on to consumers. Who has to shoulder the expense of 167 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: big projects, big capital projects, new power plants and that 168 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: sort of thing. But discussing it has no guarantee in 169 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: a quality outcome for the average rate payer. 170 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: Okay, so something that your money is paying for that 171 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: you could be proud of. It's not just poof disappearing 172 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: into the win. The Indiana State Police, they're boosting cold 173 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: case investigations by launching a specialized DNA genealogy unit. Now, 174 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: this team is going to focus on using advanced DNA 175 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: and genetic genealogy techniques and their goal is to help 176 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: solve some long unsolved murders and missing persons cases. Governor 177 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: Brown pointed to recent funds boosting and early success from 178 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: this new cold case unit using this genealogy. So that's 179 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: good news. That's something good that your money is paying for. 180 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: Because justice doesn't have an expiration date, and using DNA 181 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: to solve murders from thirty years ago is a good 182 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: proper use of taxpayer money. 183 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's important here is is that you've got to 184 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 2: prove it out afterwards, because you know, talking about a 185 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: new task for us and how we're going to solve 186 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 2: cold cases that have happened in the past. Again, seems 187 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 2: like a lot of talk associated like similar to the 188 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. But what I liked here is 189 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: there was talk about actual cold cases that were solved, 190 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy five, homicide case that was solved in January 191 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six that was associated with this. So giving 192 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 2: those examples, I think is a real important part of 193 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: this because again, that way we know that we've had 194 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 2: some success with it, and then it's not just talk 195 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 2: and plans and then we never see the end results 196 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: or never hear about the end results. 197 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got families who have waited decades and they 198 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: deserve answers. So believe it or not, Hey, this is 199 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: a good move by Governor Mike Brawn. Now, something that 200 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: raised a lot of eyebrows. Yesterday, Donald Trump, your president, 201 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: endorsed Liz Brown for Indiana Senate. And I think the 202 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: people who are maybe squirming the most in this situation 203 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: Jim Banks and Todd Roketa, Indiana Senator Jim Banks and 204 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: also the Attorney General. Yeah so because Todd Roketa and 205 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: Liz Brown had a very public feud. 206 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, so a little background on this. 207 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: Liz Liz Brown is a state Senate from the Fort 208 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: Wayne area, and you know she ran into issues with 209 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 2: Attorney General Todd Rokeita. Todd Roketa called for you know, 210 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 2: her to be primary. Senator Jim Banks jumped on that 211 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: bad wagon, and they have been very anti Liz Brown. However, 212 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 2: Donald Trump has said that if you are a state 213 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 2: lawmaker in Indiana and that you supported the redistricting process 214 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 2: from last year, that Donald Trump will support you in 215 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 2: your re election. So this is Donald Trump fulfilling his 216 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: promise on what he wanted out of Indiana lawmakers. The 217 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 2: problem is is that what Liz Brown was doing, specifically 218 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: as it relates to certain immigration bills that went nowhere 219 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 2: in the Senate committee that she oversees, that's what really 220 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: ticked off Attorney General Attorney General Todd Rokeita and Jim Banks. 221 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 2: And yeah, it puts two people and obviously Rokeda and 222 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: Banks are big supporters of Donald Trump, but it puts 223 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: those two groups at odds with with each other as 224 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 2: it relates to the Senator. 225 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: Brown, Well, Jim Bason, how Roketa. They have endorsed her opponent. 226 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: Rokeda's election committee even donated fifty thousand dollars to help 227 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: oust her from office. So I guess they have a 228 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: choice to make. They're either going to backtrack or they're 229 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: going to be on the opposite side of Donald Trump 230 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: where there has really been no daylight between them. 231 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is going to be interesting. 232 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: And again, this endorsement from Donald Trump toward Liz Brown 233 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 2: just came out yesterday. 234 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: Did they just ignore it and move on? 235 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 2: I think that's probably what you're going to hear. They 236 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 2: won't necessarily mention anything about Trump's endorsement. But my guess 237 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 2: is I'm going to make a prediction here. Attorney General 238 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 2: Todd Roketa and Senator Banks are probably still going to 239 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 2: push for Liz Brown's opponent to win in that primary company. 240 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 4: You're listening to ninety three WIBC. 241 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: We've got John at Cruz who's going to join us next. 242 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 4: From the WIBC newsroom. 243 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: John at Cruz is joining us in the studio. Hey, 244 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: good morning, good morning. You have got some interesting articles 245 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: up right now at WIVC dot com and some good reporting. 246 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: The title of this one, you could not even put 247 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: the full quote up on them. 248 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 5: I was trying to be safe, Okay, So tell us 249 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 5: about it. 250 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: This involves the board president from Clinton County Sheriff. 251 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 5: Yes, I literally feel like I'm seeing a soap opera 252 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 5: unfold right before my own very eyes reaching a fever, 253 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 5: ping is going crazy. So last week they had another 254 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 5: Sheriff's Merit Board meeting. So the past few months, and 255 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 5: actually the past few years Clayton County, the Sheriff's office 256 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 5: has been involved in lots of alleged accusations of things happening. 257 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 5: You know, you have the sheriff and his civilian wife 258 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 5: who's the jail matron, accused of misusing funds and so 259 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 5: they're going to be going to court in a couple 260 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 5: of months because they're supposed to pay back. I believe 261 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 5: it's about three hundred and twenty nine thousand dollars. That's 262 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 5: just one part of it. Then the next part of 263 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 5: it is that there was this rumor swirling around that 264 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 5: a civilian employee within the Sheriff's office was having an 265 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 5: affair with a captain on staff. And so they keep 266 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 5: saying it's a civilian employee, but everybody knows in Clinton 267 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 5: County who the civilian employee is, and for some reason, 268 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 5: at the Sheriff's Board meeting they would not say her name, 269 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 5: which we all know who it is. And at the 270 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 5: Merrifoard meeting, during the public comment section, a lady who 271 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 5: actually works with the department, came up and spoke her 272 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 5: piece and said, I am tired of you guys not 273 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 5: naming who this person is because now people are asking 274 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 5: me if I am the one having the affair with 275 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 5: the captain and it's not me, And so she's over it. 276 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 5: So she was the first one to say something. Then 277 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 5: the captain, which is Captain Matt Myers, his wife comes 278 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 5: up and she says some public remarks, and so she's 279 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 5: accusing Sheriff Richard Kelly of basically stopping her file for 280 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 5: a formal complaint of the entire investigation just to say 281 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 5: face with his wife. 282 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 4: So let me take down your. 283 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 5: Husband who is part of the affair, and let me 284 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 5: block my way who's also. 285 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: Part of it as well. 286 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: Okay, so let's let's let's say say so much that right. 287 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: Let's set the soap opera stuff aside. I think in 288 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 2: the article it talked about that some aspects are being 289 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 2: turned over for investigation for Indiana State Police. So what 290 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: are those criminal related allegations that the Indiana State So 291 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: that would. 292 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 5: Be with Captain Matt Myers because of the affair happening 293 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 5: within the Sheriff's office, which is part of misconduct as 294 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 5: well as there's some allegations of him coming into work 295 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 5: intoxicated and then sleeping it off. 296 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: Okay, So some of the soap opera stuff actually is 297 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 2: potentially criminal actually got it okay. 298 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: And there's also reporting of misuse of jail commissary funds. 299 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 5: Yes, and so that's the part where the jail matron, 300 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 5: which is Ashley Kelly, is the wife of Sheriff Richard Kelly. 301 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 5: And so they're saying that that money was funded through there, 302 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 5: it got basically transferred into their public or their own 303 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 5: work account or they have a an LLLC setup. And 304 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 5: so the Turney General filed the complaint against them, and 305 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 5: so they've been going through legal processes for the last 306 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 5: several months. So they're all supposed to be going to 307 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 5: court here in the next few months for about that. 308 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 3: Okay. 309 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: Now, another part of the article, you talk about this 310 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: woman Ashley Kelly, and it references a history of misconduct. 311 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: Yes. 312 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 3: Is there any other information that you can give. 313 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 2: Us about that history of misconduct that I assume took 314 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 2: place before the current allegations of miss conduct. 315 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 5: There are allegations of a former deputy who resigned and 316 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 5: was forced to resigned, resign with an allegation of her 317 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 5: being involved in. 318 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: That, but then she was not. 319 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 5: Nothing happened to her, So that's another hearsay story. 320 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 3: So just allegations at this point done. 321 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: And it's the merit board president who is very upset. 322 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 5: Yes, So in the meeting, so we first start with 323 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 5: the woman who her name is Janine, who says, look, 324 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 5: stop asking me. I'm not the one having the affair, 325 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 5: and it's really rude and it's upsetting me in my 326 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 5: life and my personal life. Then you have Matt Meyer's 327 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 5: wife coming up and speaking of you know her say 328 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 5: and then after that the board president basically says, look, 329 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 5: I am fed up with this. This is ridiculous. Why 330 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 5: is this taking so long to be investigated? Why are 331 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 5: we not getting the answers we need? This is absolutely insane. 332 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 5: I've been a resident for Clan County for X amount 333 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 5: of years, I've been the board president and chose some 334 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 5: explicitive words, you know, to kind of express his frustration. 335 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 4: And I was like, wow, this is this is crazy. 336 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: This is some drama. So the nerorboard president though, asked 337 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: how long that this should take?

If your package is getting 438 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: there faster from somebody else, you'd probably choose them. And 439 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: now FedEx has announced that they're going to do a 440 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: same day delivery, and this is to compete with Amazon. 441 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: It's called FedEx same Day Local, and it's going to 442 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: let you choose options like two hour delivery or end 443 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: of day delivery at checkout. 444 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 2: They have some prices on that, because I know FedEx 445 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 2: in general not necessarily something I would call cheap, especially 446 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 2: for expedited delivery. 447 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, they buried that part of it. 448 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: How about I tell you the price very expensive? 449 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 2: Well, it's I don't even know how Amazon. How FedEx 450 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 2: can compete with Amazon. We had this the other day. 451 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 2: Our smoke alarm started chirping at us, and so the battery, 452 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 2: the nine volt battery, needed to be replaced. And so 453 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 2: I go to where we have all of our batteries 454 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 2: and I'm looking through all the batteries and of course there's. 455 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 3: No nine volts there. 456 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 2: And this was in the morning, and so I was like, okay, 457 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 2: fine to jump on Amazon and look at it, and 458 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 2: I can get twenty nine volt batteries delivered that afternoon. 459 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 2: It is difficult to beat that. That is tough to beat. 460 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 2: So I get that this is, you know, a move 461 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 2: that you know, FedEx is calling innovation. It's really kind 462 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 2: of play and catch up to what Amazon's got going on. 463 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 2: But it's tough to beat Amazon's delivery. And what's fascinating 464 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,239 Speaker 2: about this is that years and years ago Amazon was 465 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 2: ups and FedEx's they're like one of their biggest customers 466 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: because that's how Amazon shipped all their stuff, and then 467 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: Amazon built out their own delivery network, which is why 468 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 2: you see Amazon trucks all over your neighborhood. 469 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: Now it's not just about beating Amazon, though, it's about 470 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: everybody scrambling to keep up with a trend that is 471 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: shoppers getting instant gratification because that is the standard that 472 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: Amazon has set. And now you've got companies like Walmart 473 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: and Target. They're already expanding their fast delivery services, including 474 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: one hour or three hour options throughout the country. So 475 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: this is just FedEx saying, hey, hey, what about us, 476 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: We can do it too, and they're doing it to 477 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: help other retailers offer quick delivery service. 478 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, if you buy from somebody other than Amazon. Now, 479 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 2: the big story in like consumer deliveries last year or so, 480 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 2: we're drone deliveries. Now that's not part of this story. 481 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 2: But how do you feel about that? Because I see 482 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 2: those videos on Twitter and TikTok where people there are 483 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 2: actually certain markets in this country where you can get 484 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,479 Speaker 2: a drone delivery from places like Amazon or Walmart. Are 485 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 2: you comfortable with a drone flying over your house and 486 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 2: your yard? And the videos I've seen you can see 487 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 2: the drone and they drop the package and it's got 488 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 2: like this little parachute on it, and it kind of 489 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 2: floats down and lands in your yard. 490 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: It seems like it's a fun thing to see or 491 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: experience once. I don't know about the practicality of it 492 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: long term. 493 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: Well, especially because Amazon delivery trucks are all over our neighborhood. 494 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 2: I can't imagine if that automatically just moved to drones, 495 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 2: we'd have drones and packages being dropped all over the 496 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 2: place in our neighborhood every single day. 497 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I also feel like I 498 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: questioned the little robots at Purdue, the little things that 499 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: would drive around by themselves. 500 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they've got these food delivery robots. 501 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: They're essentially essentially a cooler on wheels, and you can 502 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 2: order Starbucks or Chick fil A or whatever, and then 503 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 2: as opposed to a door dash driver delivering it to you, 504 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: these robots go and pick it up and then they 505 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 2: robot it. 506 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: To your PS locations. It's like a room but with food. Right. 507 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: But they seem to be working and they're still going. 508 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 2: So they've actually rolled those out in the city of 509 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 2: Chicago recently too, so they're not only are they working, 510 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 2: that program's being expanded banding. This is all part about 511 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 2: how we are so spoiled in this country. And look, 512 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: I'm as guilty of it as anybody. I ordered nine 513 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: volt batteries on Amazon and got them delivered in the 514 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 2: seven hours. They were sitting on my front door. I 515 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 2: love it. I'm not gonna lie. I'm gratificating gratification. If 516 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 2: I can order something and have it on my front 517 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 2: door in a few hours, man, that's pretty nice for 518 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 2: me and tough to be. 519 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: So the Pentagon is making some changes. They're going to 520 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: remove the media offices from the building. This after a 521 00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: judge struck down rules for reporters. The long used Correspondence 522 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: Corridor press area inside the Pentagon is now being closed 523 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: and reporters will instead be moved to work from an 524 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: external annex building once it's ready. 525 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 526 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 2: So the backstory on this is that, you know, when 527 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 2: the Trump administration in Pete Hegseth became you know, Secretary 528 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 2: of War, they changed the way that different media outlets 529 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 2: get access into the media room inside the Pentagon. And 530 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 2: of course the media doesn't like that because the media 531 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: likes to do whatever they want to do, and so 532 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 2: they filed a suit against it, and the judge ruled, yeah, e, Pentagon, 533 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 2: you can't do that. So rather than comply with that ruling, 534 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 2: the Pentagon just shut it down. 535 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 3: Said fine, we're going to take our ball and we're 536 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 3: going to go home. And that's exactly what they did 537 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 3: in this situation. 538 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: And people are getting upset saying, well, this isn't transparency. 539 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: Hey guess what. The press never had a constitutional right 540 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: to a desk inside the Department of Defense. They never did. 541 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: And that's access privilege, not freedom of press. If the 542 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: reporters want access, they got to earn it. 543 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 2: I completely support the Trump administration on this the media 544 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 2: has been in the tank for the liberals and the 545 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 2: Democrats for decades. Decades they have had unfair coverage against Republicans, 546 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,479 Speaker 2: and Times that by ten when it comes to anything 547 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 2: associated with Donald Trump and so smart on hegseeth and 548 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: Trump to sit here and say, you know what, there's 549 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: no law, there's nothing in the Constitution that, like you said, 550 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 2: requires the media to have a desk here in the Pentagon. 551 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 2: So we're gonna change things up. And a judge says, no, 552 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 2: you can't do that, and so the Trump administration said, fine, 553 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 2: we'll just shut it down. We're sick of being treated 554 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 2: like a doormat, We're sick of being treated unfairly by 555 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 2: the liberal media. We're not going to allow it anymore. 556 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 2: And if judge rules that we can't you monitor that 557 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 2: inside the Pentagon, find we'll shut it down. And if 558 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: you want to, if you want to catch the Secretary 559 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 2: of War on the streets of Washington, DC, and that's 560 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 2: the only way you can get access to him, then 561 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: that's the only way you can get access to him. 562 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: Another change that the Pentagon has announced the USA Army 563 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: raising the maximum age someone can enlist from thirty five 564 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: to forty two forty two years old, and this applies 565 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: for regular Army, Army, National Guard, and also the Army Reserves. 566 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: The change is going to take effect on April twentieth 567 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: of this year. It's an update to Army Regulation six 568 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: hundred one DASH two hundred and ten. Now, the minimum 569 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: enlistment age remains the same at eighteen. Another thing that 570 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: they're changing with this is they have removed the waiver 571 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: requirement for people with a single marijuana possession or paraphernalia conviction. 572 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: Those people can now enlist without a waiver for that 573 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: one offense. 574 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 2: Can you imagine being forty two years old and you 575 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 2: decide to. 576 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 3: Enlist Pirate Army that day. 577 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm back then, unfortunately past that age, so this 578 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 2: regulation won't apply to me. But I just can't imagine 579 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 2: being forty two years old and being in your life state. Yeah, 580 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 2: I think it's time for a change and I'm going 581 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 2: to go into the Army. Can you imagine your in 582 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 2: boot camp. You're forty two and you're in boot camp 583 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 2: with a bunch of eighteen year olds. 584 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: Well, you can think of it from this perspective that 585 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: a forty year old who's raised kids held a job, 586 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: paid taxes, maybe more committed to the country than an 587 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: eighteen year old who just graduated. 588 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 3: And that's a. 589 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 2: Great point because you know, when I was eighteen, I 590 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 2: had no interest in going into the military. 591 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 3: But as I got older. 592 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: Maybe you turn thirty three, right, you. 593 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 2: Sit here and say, you know what, that I should 594 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 2: have given that more credence back when I was eighteen, 595 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 2: and maybe I should have gone into the military. And 596 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: I didn't have those thoughts until I was in my thirties. 597 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, maybe it is a good good idea for 598 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 2: them to boost the regulated age. 599 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,719 Speaker 1: From people who are completely disciplined to people have no 600 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: discipline at all. We're talking about spring breakers. A lot 601 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: of Florida beach towns. They're dealing with the wild spring 602 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: break crowds when they can eventually get there after wading 603 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: through long TSA lines. So you've got places like Daytona 604 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: Beach and they have a declared state of emergency. They're 605 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: imposing curfews for minor because of the unruly party behavior 606 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: that is overwhelming the resources. They're reporting hundreds of incidents 607 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: of arrests and fights, prompting this police crackdown and stronger enforcement. 608 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: Even some alcohol bands in some areas. 609 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 3: I'm fascinated by this. 610 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 2: We talked about it earlier when we were talking about 611 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 2: the story from the US Department of Agriculture and the 612 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 2: beef labeling and the Maid in the USA beef labeling 613 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 2: and how that kind of dovetailed off of that big 614 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 2: Maid in the USA campaign in the eighties. I feel 615 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 2: like something similar here with this stories. Daytona Beach was 616 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 2: the place for spring break in the eighties and you 617 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 2: had these problems where the college kids would get unruly, 618 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 2: and then the city of Daytona Beach decided, Okay, we're 619 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 2: going to wear your crack down and we're not going 620 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 2: to be as welcoming to these spring breakers. We don't 621 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 2: care how much money it brings into the area. And 622 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 2: that lasted for a little bit a while, and then 623 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 2: Daytona Beach got the idea, Okay, we're missing out on 624 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 2: that money again. Let's give it another shot, and let's 625 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 2: welcome all of these spring breakers back. And now here 626 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 2: we are in twenty twenty six, where Daytona Beach is like, no, no, no, 627 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 2: we made a huge mistake. 628 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 3: We made a huge mistake. 629 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: Curfew, Curfew, Well, it does seem like things have changed 630 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: because spring break it used to mean, like, you know, 631 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: volleyball and sunburns, and now it's flash mobs and property destruction. 632 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: And at some point this has to go back to 633 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: the parents. These are parents who are riding these obnoxious 634 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: tuition checks and then their kids go down and trash 635 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: beaches in Florida and trash the entire town. But I 636 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: wanted to play this because when you listen to this boy, 637 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: it makes you nervous for the future. Maybe this is 638 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: why the Army raised the enlistment age to forty two. 639 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: This is a TV reporter and he's talking to spring breakers. 640 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 2: Oh no, what issue facing America is the most important 641 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 2: to you? 642 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: Well, bikini, I'm gonna wear necks. Obesity is terrible. 643 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 3: Ice not personally, I'm legal. 644 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: Getting its hand on the beach. That's the most important 645 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: thing in my life right now. 646 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 4: I'm thinking about Starbucks. 647 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: To be honest, I think about Starbucks. What I'm gonna 648 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: get for today. The elevators don't work. 649 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 3: You got forty three flours. The elevators don't work. I 650 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 3: could take this little glass of water, drop it in 651 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 3: the magnus. 652 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 6: That's the end of the elevator. 653 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 2: What have you heard that Donald Trump has been doing recently, 654 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 2: both of America. 655 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 4: That's the last thing I kept up with. We're going 656 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 4: to war with Iraq. 657 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: That's been crazy. 658 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 3: What are you doing? You must be happy. 659 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: I'm very happy. Aiatola is dead. I'm what? Who? What? 660 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: What is that? Who is Iotola? 661 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 7: I've never heard that word in my life? Lois? 662 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 3: What's Ayatola? 663 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: I haven't heard. I found out about Chuck North yesterday. 664 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: That was more devastating to me. He was a supreme 665 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: leader of Iraq. He's dead. Eliana, we killed him? Well 666 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: you did? 667 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 4: You killed him? 668 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: One girl? We're at war with Iraq? Nope? Sorry, Ron 669 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: country long decade.
