1
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: Officials should be held to the same rules they enforced clearly.

2
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: Good morning. My name is Casey, that is Jim. Thanks

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: for being here on this Monday, beautiful day in store

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: for us. We whipped up seventy today.

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 3: How nice was yesterday and we deserved it because we

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 3: had it. Seemed like it rained every second of the week.

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 3: Last week just a ton of rain, and we've got

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 3: more rain coming in the future. But yesterday was beautiful.

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: Today's going to be a beautiful Enjoy it.

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: So if you're the state's top election official, you know,

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: the one charged with fair, lawful elections, you shouldn't be

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: seen as using government resources for campaign material. We've got

14
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: to hold Diego Morales accountable. And this isn't party politics.

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: It's just making sure the office isn't used as a

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: political megaphone. Here's the controversy. Marion County Election Board claims

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: the Secretary of State for Indiana, Diego Morales broke ethics laws,

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: and now the Marion County Election Board has referred him

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: to the Inspector General over this alleged misuse of state

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: resources in a campaign ad. He's now barred from non

21
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: public areas of the Election Service center. The guy in

22
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: charge of elections is barred.

23
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: Let me repeat that, Yeah, please do.

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: The guy in charge of the state elections is barred

25
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: from non public areas of the Election service center.

26
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 4: Yeah that sounds like that's a problem. Yeah, it's not.

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: Really a good look. So if election officials use government

28
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: resources for campaign content, it clearly undercuts the very election

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: integrity they claim to defend.

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 4: He should have used the Costanza defense. Is that wrong?

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: Should I not have done that?

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: I got to plead ignorance here because if I had known, well,

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: that's the thing that that was frowned upon.

34
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 4: I never he should have known.

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: That's the job.

36
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 4: So here are the specifics.

37
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: When you've got these statewide elected offices like secretary of

38
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: State or a turn general.

39
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: They all have staff, and some of them have pretty.

40
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: Good size staff, and it is very clear, and the

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 3: state ethics rules are very clear, and there's an entire

42
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: division called the Office of Inspector General that is set

43
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: up to enforce these rules. And one of the rules

44
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 3: that is extraordinary clear and very important is that your

45
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: staff members cannot do work on your campaign while they

46
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: are working on state hours, on state property or with

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: state equipment like a laptop or their state issues self time.

48
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 3: And so the issue here is what is being alleged

49
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: is that staffers recorded some infra, some video, some election video,

50
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: probably just some generic b roll of footage people voting

51
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: and some behind the scenes footage, and then a year

52
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 3: or more later, they used that footage in a campaign

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: ad So technically state resources the time of those state

54
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: employees possibly however the item was being recorded, whether it

55
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: on a state cell phone or something else, or whether

56
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: it was recorded while those employees were on the clock

57
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: working for the state, you can't then use that content

58
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 3: or any product that you created with those state resources.

59
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: You can't use that on your campaign.

60
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: And it looks like, or it's certainly at least being alleged,

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: that that's what Diego Morales did in this situation.

62
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, according to the board's findings, Diego Morales he

63
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: visited the county's election service center in an official capacity,

64
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: and then state staff and equipment recorded video during that visit,

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: and then portions of that footage allegedly ended up in

66
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: a re election campaign video. Can't do that, Yeah, if

67
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: you do it on state time belongs to the state,

68
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: and the two paths shall never cross.

69
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look there's state employees get a ton of

70
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: training on ethics. You've got the Office of Inspector General

71
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: is there to answer any questions on ethics. The state

72
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: makes these rules very clear, and it looks like certainly

73
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: is a being alleged that Diego Morales violated those rules.

74
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: And by the way, the Office of Inspector General can

75
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: issue fines and other penalties, but they can also then

76
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: refer this back to the Marion County Prosecutor's office because

77
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: there are certain laws that are in place that are

78
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: more than just ethics violation.

79
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: So Morales's campaign denies any wrongdoing. He said. The footage

80
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: was originally posted on an official government recap and later reused,

81
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: and they argue the local election board doesn't have the

82
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: authority over the matter. But here's the bigger takeaway. Election

83
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: integrity debates, they often focus on voter behavior, but this

84
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: situation highlights another issue, and that is how the election

85
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: officials themselves are using power and resources. Even the appearance

86
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: of mixing government work with campaign activity can erode the

87
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: public trusts, especially when the person involved overseas elections.

88
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: You know, you said something really interesting right there, and

89
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: I want to be fair to Diego Morales because you

90
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 3: mentioned his defense leave is that the content is video

91
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: they created was posted on an official government social media

92
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,559
Speaker 3: page or website. I think what Diego is arguing there

93
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: is that once it is posted on an official government site.

94
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 1: It's up for grabs.

95
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: It then becomes quote unquote public domain, and then anybody

96
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: could access it, like, for example, if WIBC wanted to

97
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: take that video and repost it or portions of it.

98
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: I think he's arguing that that would be okay, or

99
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: anybody any entity could do that, and therefore, if anybody

100
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: in the public can do it, then his campaign can

101
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 3: be allowed to do it. I'm not sure if that

102
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: actually is a legitimate defense. I'm not sure that that's

103
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: been proven out yet.

104
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 4: In a court of law.

105
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 3: But that is the Secretary of State, Diego Morales's defense

106
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 3: in this situation.

107
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: Well, no matter who's in office, voters expect basic boundaries

108
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: between public duty and campaigning. And if the people running

109
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: the elections blur the line between government work and campaign politics,

110
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: it's not just an ethics issue. This is a trust issue.

111
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: It's an optics issue. It doesn't look good.

112
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 4: Which, by the way, the Secretary of State's office.

113
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: Since Diego Morales has been in it has had a

114
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 3: lot of issues that haven't looked good.

115
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 4: And that's the problem.

116
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: Add it to the list.

117
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: I think that's what's really these are stacking up. He's

118
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 3: got these trips that were questionable. He totally blew off

119
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: his budget presentation, which you think would kind of be important. Yeah,

120
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 3: I mean that seems like that's pretty important. Just didn't

121
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: even show up for that. So he's had a lot

122
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: of questions.

123
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: Having relatives, high paying positions.

124
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 3: A lot of scandals, the expensive car, no bid contracts India.

125
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: What do we come up with six or seven right

126
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: off the top of our head, And I bet we

127
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: missed five or six too.

128
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 4: So that's really the problem here is this is.

129
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 3: Just another issue that it doesn't look good for Diego

130
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 3: Morales and that could be a big problem.

131
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 4: As he's up for reelection this year well.

132
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: And it's also a big problem because this is not

133
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: coming at a good time for him. When you see

134
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: headlines that say he is barred from the Election Service Center,

135
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: the Secretary of State being barred from anything with the

136
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: word election in it doesn't look good, especially when you

137
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: have someone like former mayor of Indianapolis, Greg Ballard putting

138
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: his hat in the race as he is now running

139
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: for the Indiana Secretary of State as an independent candidate.

140
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: Now you have Indie Star did an article a fact

141
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: check has Greg Ballard been living in Myrtle Beach? And

142
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: here's what they came up with. After leaving office, he

143
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: lived for a period in South Carolina, including places like

144
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach, but he moved back to Indiana March of

145
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: twenty three. So not quite the gotcha that everybody is saying, well,

146
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: and he's allowed to move and move back.

147
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: I was really surprised at how many Republicans, like sitting

148
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: members of the current legislation, you're mad about that that

149
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: as soon as Ballard announced his candidacy, they brought up

150
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 3: this residency issue and really started hammering.

151
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: It hard on social media. And they kind of look

152
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 4: silly right now, because Ballard was just like, yeah, I

153
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: moved to Burtle Beach.

154
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I moved back, and then i moved back,

155
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: and I was voting here and so I'm totally eligible

156
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: to run for this office.

157
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 4: And there was nothing there. I don't know what you

158
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 4: guys are doing.

159
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: It's a mirror up to the current Secretary of State

160
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: who voted in a different district than his homestead.

161
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, this came up.

162
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, we forgot about this one when we just rattled

163
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: off a few minutes ago all the scandals around Diego Morales.

164
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: There were talking about where people are voting and living.

165
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had a residency issue.

166
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: So for all of these Republicans, either elected Republicans or

167
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: you know, people that work at the county level or

168
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 3: the state level, and the Republican Party just really hammering

169
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: Ballard on a residency issue when your guy has had

170
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: questions about residency issues.

171
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: What it says is, so, let's scared. They scared. That's

172
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 4: exactly right.

173
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: They are scared by Greg Ballard because what is if

174
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: you were to look at this right now, what is

175
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 3: likely to happen. Not say this is one hundred percent

176
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: going to happen, but what is likely to happen is

177
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 3: that conservatives, not necessarily Republicans, but conservatives will split their

178
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: vote between Diego Morales.

179
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: Which when Greg Ballard, which will elevate bo Baya.

180
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 3: And as long as Bobai doesn't get a serious challenger

181
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: or another independent with enough gravitas and punch behind him,

182
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 3: like Greg Ballard does. It looks like it's leading toward

183
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 3: a potential easy election for the Democrat.

184
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: Well, these residency attacks there, I mean, it's kind of predictable, right,

185
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: but they are going to backfire when you don't have

186
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: the substance and when your guy doesn't look that great either.

187
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: So you can go after Ballads Ballard's past living situation

188
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: as political ammunition, but it's not going to change any

189
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: sort of eligibility or policy positions. He's eligible to run.

190
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: He's not doing anything nefarious.

191
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think what frustrates a lot of Republicans

192
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 3: and Conservatives when they see something like this is they

193
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: see a guy like Diego Morales who has just been

194
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: scandal after scaleand after scandal after scandal since the minute

195
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: he got into office. And now you've got all these

196
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: Republican officials and elected officials fervently defending him, I mean,

197
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 3: acting like he is, you know, just you know, has

198
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 3: a perfect track record. When he doesn't, it just comes

199
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: across as nasty party politics, and in this specific situation,

200
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 3: it may come to bite the Republicans and the butt

201
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: on it.

202
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. So there's this article that came out. I thought

203
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: it was kind of interesting after the Bears. Here's what

204
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: else Indiana could take from Illinois. Of course, we're not

205
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: taking the Bears just yet. No news on that. However,

206
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: there were a couple things that were added to the

207
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: list of what else could we take from Illinois.

208
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 4: I like it.

209
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: How about the White Sox.

210
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 4: That's actually not really you don't.

211
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: Have a major Major League Baseball team. Chicago has two.

212
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 3: And that's not ridiculous because they've their stadium is a disaster,

213
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: it's a total mess. It's a terrible neighborhood, a bad

214
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: part of town in Chicago. The White Sox have been

215
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 3: trying to work with the City of Chicago, just like

216
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: the Bears, White Sox trying to work with the City

217
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: of Chicago get a new stadium. Belt City of Chicago's like,

218
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 3: don't care, You're not getting money from us. So the

219
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,599
Speaker 3: White Sox are now looking for other options. So it

220
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 3: wouldn't surprise me if we end up going down the

221
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: same road with the White Sox in the future.

222
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: So they've flirted with the idea of moving that team

223
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: to Nashville.

224
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a big problem the Chicago White Sox are.

225
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: They have one of the worst attendances in all of

226
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball when it comes to valuations their value

227
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: if they were to sell the team as one of

228
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: the worst in Major League Baseball, and so the owners

229
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 3: have learned the quickest way to double or triple the

230
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 3: value of my pro sports team is to move them

231
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 3: to a brand new city. Because usually that new city

232
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 3: opens the floodgates with tax dollars to build a brand new,

233
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 3: beautiful stadium. You get all this new sort of attendance,

234
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: all sort of local media rights coming on board, and

235
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, your baseball team, which was worth

236
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: two billion dollars yesterday, is now worth four billion dollars today.

237
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: It wouldn't surprise me because what the White Sox are

238
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,239
Speaker 3: doing right now is not working. They've got to do something.

239
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: Different, something else that we could take from Illinois. Yeah,

240
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: should consider red Panda from the Lincoln Park Zoo. Put

241
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: that in the Indianapolis Zoom.

242
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 4: I like it. Keep going.

243
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: You got another one Casey's giant rocking chair.

244
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 4: I don't even know what that is.

245
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: Do you remember we drive through Casey's you know.

246
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 4: Oh, the city of Casey, Illinois.

247
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: Ye has all of the huge a huge rocking.

248
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: Chair they've got and They've got this huge mailbox that's

249
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: big enough for you to walk in. Its essentially all

250
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: of these goofy oversized items that are perfect for people

251
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: stopping by on a road trip and taking pictures in

252
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: it and posting on.

253
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: Social I took a picture when we were there of

254
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: the Casey's water tower, Yeah, posted it to my x account.

255
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: That is Casey Daniel's three one seven. Yeah. So they're

256
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: saying that we should take the Casey's giant rocking chair

257
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: and we could put that next to the Warm Glow

258
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: Candle store in Centerville.

259
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: Oh, that would be good.

260
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 3: A rocking chair and then you've got a candle, big

261
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 3: candle right area.

262
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. Deep Dish pizza is another one. You know

263
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: what take from Illinois.

264
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 4: They can keep it everybody.

265
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Deep Dish pizza is it's a gimmick. It's I

266
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 3: don't even know if it's real pizza. It's okay, but yeah, No,

267
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 3: what pizza we should take is the tavern style thin

268
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 3: crust pizza, which is really what Chicago locals really eat.

269
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: That I'll take all day long.

270
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: All right, you're listening to Casey and Jim. It is

271
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: ninety three WYBC Small Businesses the backbone of local communities

272
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: and employment. But there's a new report that came out

273
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: that said millions of jobs are vulnerable as a silver

274
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: tsunami looms over US small businesses. Now I've heard the

275
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: phrase silver tsunami referred to healthcare, memory centers, things of

276
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: that nature. But this report is saying that there are

277
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: a lot of businesses that are owned by people fifty

278
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: five and older, and they lack succession plans to pass

279
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: their companies on and therefore may just be shutting down.

280
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: Small businesses huge part of the economy. They employ more

281
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: than sixty two million Americans and make up about forty

282
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: three percent of the US GDP.

283
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so think of as I'll use an example that

284
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 3: I know. I know a guy that owns an HVAC

285
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: company heating and air conditioning and plumbing and.

286
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 4: Electrical and that sort of thing.

287
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 3: And he was the second generation, so his dad started

288
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 3: the business and then he took it over and ran it,

289
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 3: and none of his kids have any interest in running it,

290
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: and so he's kind of stuck, not quite sure what

291
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: to do with this. He could sell it to, you know,

292
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: some of the big HVAC companies out there, but he's

293
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 3: not quite sure what to do with this, and so

294
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 3: that's what this.

295
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 4: Is talking about here.

296
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 3: So think of small business owners like that, small retail organizations,

297
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: small service owners like HVAC and plumbing and heating and

298
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: air conditioning.

299
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 4: Those are who are that this article is talking about.

300
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: So they're saying that without some clear plans for leadership transition,

301
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: millions of jobs could be at risk if these businesses close.

302
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: Instead of transferring ownership and the owners they often build

303
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: these decades long customer relationships and that is hard to

304
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: replace as well. Many buyers aren't lined up to take over,

305
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: and even if you did have a buyer that was

306
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: lined up to take over, that built in relationship is

307
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: no longer there.

308
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 3: Well, here's what a lot of these and I think

309
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 3: that what you'll end up seeing is is a lot

310
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: of these small business owners that try to sell to

311
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: people that are already working in their business.

312
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

313
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 4: So if you've got somebody, if I'm a small business.

314
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: Now i'mily member, maybe an employee.

315
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 3: Exactly, if I'm a small business owner and I've got

316
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 3: you know, you know, my right hand guy or somebody

317
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 3: else who really kind of has been there a long

318
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: time and knows the business. And the good thing about

319
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: this is a lot of times some of these small

320
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: business owners will finance it already. So if you're sit here, well,

321
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: I've got this HVAC company and it's worth three million dollars,

322
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 3: and I'm an employee, and I'm like, I don't got

323
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: three million dollars and I don't have any assets, and

324
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: there's no way a bank's gonna give me three million dollars.

325
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 3: A lot of times, because these are small businesses and

326
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 3: because you've got these great personal relationships, that business owner

327
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: will go, Okay, here's what i'm gonna do. I'm gonna

328
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: sell it to you, and I'm gonna do the financing

329
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: on it, and you'll pay me X dollars over X

330
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: years until you pay it off.

331
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 5: I have.

332
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 3: My guess is that's what's going to happen. You'll see

333
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 3: a lot of these hopefully transition to employees that work

334
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: in those small peopies.

335
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: Well, I have too many of them walk away without

336
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: a succession plan. The jobs they created, they're gonna vanish

337
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: along with them. It's gonna hurt workers and families and everybody.

338
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: But we've heard people like the zennials or the millennials saying, oh,

339
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: you boomers need to get out of the way, step

340
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: out of the way. Well, now the younger generation, gen Z,

341
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: they're coming for gen X as well, telling gen X

342
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: to sit down so that they can have employment. But

343
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: here's this guy and he he does not agree. He

344
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: says gen X can't sit down. It's time for boomers

345
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: and gen X to sit down.

346
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: Oh you want the boomers and gen X to sit down,

347
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 2: We will, sweetheart. Gen X would love to sit down.

348
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: We fantasize about it. We dream about it the way

349
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: you dream about becoming a digital nomad after quitting your

350
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: third job this quarter. You think we're standing because we

351
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: crave control. No, we're standing because if we sit down,

352
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: the Wi Fi goes out, the payroll freeze is, the

353
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 2: lights flicker, and somebody schedules a mental health summit discuss

354
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: why the printer feels unheard. Gen X isn't as in charge.

355
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: We're not. We're just the ductabe holding all the dysfunctional

356
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: daycare together. We're not CEOs, we're the CPR. We're the

357
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: middle child of generations. The boomers built it and gen

358
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 2: Z critiques it, and we're in the basement reset and

359
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: the damn breaker because somebody microwaved a pop tart and

360
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: the foil again. You want us to sit down, cool,

361
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 2: take the wheel, But historically speaking, some of y'all can't

362
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 2: even hold a job longer to seasonal pumpkin spice release

363
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: without posting a resignation reel about toxic vibes from Linda

364
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: because she didn't validate your aura. You don't want to

365
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 2: run the world. You just want to rebrand it. You

366
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: don't want responsibility, you want reimagining. You don't want a

367
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 2: full work day, you want a flexible framework featuring feelings, ferns,

368
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: and frequent feedback and listen. Change is fine. Progress is good.

369
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: We like progress, but progress requires persevere and perseverance requires

370
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 2: staying something longer than two months without announcing I'm pivoting.

371
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: You say, sit down, like we're hogging the throne, But baby,

372
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: there ain't no thrown. It's a folding chair from ninety

373
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: seven with one lay short than the other, and we've

374
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: been balancing on it since before dial up. We don't

375
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: want power, we want peace. We don't want control. We

376
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 2: want a damn nap. But until somebody proves they can

377
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 2: work a full shift without needing a spirit journey and

378
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 2: a slack announcement about their boundaries. We're just gonna stay

379
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: standing because not because we think we're better, but because

380
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 2: if we don't, everything stops. And sweetheart, we're tired, but

381
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: we ain't stupid.

382
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: Somebody microwaved a pop tart in the foil again.

383
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 3: So I'm the one that's got a Gen X has

384
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: got to be the one to go downstairs in the

385
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 3: basement reset the breaker.

386
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 4: Look.

387
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: I may be biased here as a member of Generation X,

388
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: but I mean, come on, we are the best generation ever.

389
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 4: I mean, is it even really all that close? I mean,

390
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 4: come on, we're this first.

391
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: We just want to be left alone.

392
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 4: Well, we're the forgotten generation. So we're the smallest.

393
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 3: Baby Boomers had this massive population, and then Gen X

394
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: had dropped off dramatically, and then the children of the

395
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 3: Baby Boomers, the Millennials, they had.

396
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 4: A huge population surge.

397
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: There's a ton of the population group in Gen Z

398
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 3: and us Gen xers are sitting here. We're just kind

399
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: of like the little guys that just keep plugging along

400
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 3: with our heads down, not trying to get too much attention.

401
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 3: Everybody ignores us and forgets we'reriven here and Meanwhile, we're

402
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 3: just keep chugging along and chugging along.

403
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't like how the original guy he put gen

404
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 1: X in with boomers. Totally different.

405
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the city. Don't even try to lump

406
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 4: gen X with boomers.

407
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 3: Don't disdeenegrate the name gen X by lumping us in

408
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: with baby totally.

409
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: Different generation, different experience all together. You're listening to ninety

410
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: three WYBC. No matter how much the US boost tomextic

411
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: production global oil markets, they are still reacting to what's

412
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: going on in the Middle East. You've got traditional fossil

413
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: fuels remaining vital to the economy, and instability abroad still

414
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: leads to higher prices at the pon You've got the

415
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: Treasurer actually was the Energy secretary that said that the

416
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: gas prices shouldn't go much higher than they are because

417
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: the world is very well supplied with oil. He went

418
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: on to say that the United States is a net

419
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: exporter of oil a large net exporter of natural gas

420
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: as well. But at the same time, oil prices surging

421
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 1: passed one hundred dollars a barrel, first time that this

422
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: has happened since twenty two.

423
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the trajectory that oil has been on, by

424
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: the way, for a brief period of time. Early this morning,

425
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 3: oil was at one hundred and fifteen dollars a barrel.

426
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: It's come back down to one hundred and one dollars

427
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 3: a barrel, but still up forty percent over the last week.

428
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 3: Forty percent in a week. Gas prices, by the way,

429
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: this is the average price in the state of Indiana.

430
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: These aren't national numbers. This is in the state of

431
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 3: Indiana as of this morning, three dollars and forty seven

432
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 3: cents a gallon. One week ago, they were at two

433
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 3: dollars and seventy nine cents a gallon. So your seventy

434
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 3: cent jump in gas prices in just a week. And

435
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 3: I think here's what I think this is. It's shocking

436
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 3: to see this because it's come on so fast. And

437
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: I think it's it's the fact that we this war.

438
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 3: I don't want to say it crept up on us,

439
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 3: but let's go back to the nineteen ninety one Gulf

440
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: War in Iraq, and we knew that that build up

441
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: took months and months and months, like seven months to

442
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 3: build up, and so as we were sending our troops

443
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: over there, and there was talk of going to war.

444
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: We saw the oil prices slowly rise over a seven

445
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: month period, and similar to two thousand and three, there

446
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 3: was this massive build up in the golf of the

447
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 3: American troops and there was talk of war, and slowly

448
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 3: as that talk happened, we saw this big, you know,

449
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 3: rise in oil prices and gas prices. But this time, okay,

450
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 3: so we knew we were moving a couple of carrier

451
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 3: strike groups to the Persian Gulf two three weeks ago,

452
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, we start bombing and ran.

453
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 3: So instead of having this six to seven month build

454
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 3: up time to kind of absorb this into the pricing

455
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: and into the markets, it just hit us like a

456
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 3: shock overnight. And so that's I think what's got people

457
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 3: adult is this, you know, a forty percent increase in

458
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 3: the price of oil in a week.

459
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 4: That's massive and unprecedented.

460
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: There wasn't this long term ramp up, although some people

461
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: could say, really, we've been ramping up since nineteen seventy nine.

462
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 3: Well, yes, for the certainly for the problems that we're

463
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 3: having in a ram I.

464
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 4: But if we look back to historically the way.

465
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 3: Things have gone with the ninety one golf War, in

466
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: the two thousand and three golf War, we do have

467
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 3: this massive spike in pricing in oil and gas prices,

468
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: and then after a couple of three months, even in

469
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: two thousand and three, things started to settle down and stabilize.

470
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 3: And that's what I would predict. What happened this time

471
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 3: doesn't mean it's not going to suck in the interrum. Look,

472
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 3: it's not going to be good. Nearly three dollars and

473
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 3: fifty cents for the average price of gas in the

474
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: state of Indiana. That's awful. That's going to drive the

475
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 3: price of everything up. As we've talked about on this

476
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: show for weeks, look around wherever you're at, if you're

477
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 3: in your car, you're sitting at your house, or eat

478
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 3: your job. Right now, just look around where you are.

479
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 3: Every single thing you see was on a truck at

480
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 3: one point in time, and that truck needed diesel fuel.

481
00:22:59,359 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 4: Yep.

482
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 3: Every thing that most of the things you see are

483
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: made with petroleum products. I'm looking at this countertop right here,

484
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 3: the insulation on these wires, the paint on the walls

485
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 3: in this room, all of those using petroleum products. So

486
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 3: it does infiltrate every single thing we do every single.

487
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 4: Day, and it is.

488
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 3: It's going to be painful, and it's going to be

489
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: expensive here for the next several months at least.

490
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody's saying that this is all about the oil.

491
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: It's not just about the oil. It's about what the

492
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: oil becomes and the chance reaction involved in that, and

493
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: the products that are made with the oil and the

494
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: petroleum and our dependency on all of that. I mean,

495
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: just sulfur is another one that is going to be

496
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: highly affected because of all of this.

497
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again, hopefully again if we can look back

498
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 3: historically what's traditionally happened with previous conflicts in the Persian

499
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 3: Gulf area, there's been this massive run up in pricing

500
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: for oil and gas prices the military conflict takes place,

501
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 3: and then with the usually a couple three months after that,

502
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 3: the pricing goes down.

503
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 4: And my guess is that what's going to happen.

504
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: And that's why we're being told the messaging short term

505
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 1: pain for long term gain over and over again. So

506
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: you've got these higher energy prices. Obviously that is the

507
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: political cost of foreign policy decisions, and these rising prices

508
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: they show that the national security and geopolitical strategy come

509
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: with real consequences. Here, you've got the Treasury Secretary and

510
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: he announced a thirty day waiver until April fourth, allowing

511
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: India to import Russian oil. These cargoes are already at sea,

512
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: and this is a move that is aimed to stabilize

513
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: global supply amid all of these tensions.

514
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 2: The world is very well supplied in oil.

515
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 6: Yesterday, Treasury agreed to let our allies in India start

516
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 6: buying Russian oil that was already on the water.

517
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 4: The Indians had been very good actors. We had asked

518
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 4: them to stop buying sanctioned.

519
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: Russian oil oil this fault they did. They were going

520
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 2: to substitute it with US oil.

521
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: But to.

522
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 7: Ease the.

523
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 2: Temporary gap of oil around the world, we have given

524
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 2: them permission to accept the Russian oil.

525
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 4: We may unsanction other Russian oil.

526
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: Okay, that's kind of interesting because they're unsanctioning some Russian oil.

527
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: Is this a plan to figure it out or does

528
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: this meanwhile this is a problem.

529
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 3: Well, I think what this is is it keeps India

530
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 3: from being really mad at US, at least for a

531
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 3: little while. This is kind of a band aid that

532
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 3: we're putting on the well, that's.

533
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: Just it exactly. It seems like it's a band aid.

534
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 4: It's a band aid.

535
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 3: And look, if we can get this military conflict resolved quickly,

536
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 3: then the band aid is going to be is going

537
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 3: to be just fine, and that'll do the job. It's

538
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 3: if it drags out a lot longer, then that's going

539
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 3: to become a problem. But one of the undintended consequences

540
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 3: of this invasion of Iran is how much this is

541
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 3: going to benefit Russia. Russia's entire economy, and I mean

542
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 3: their entire economy is based on Russian oil.

543
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 4: It's a driver for everything they do.

544
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 3: And they had oil prices that were, you know, fifty

545
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: and sixty dollars a barrel, and for the most part,

546
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 3: it costs Russia more than that to extract that much

547
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 3: oil out of the ground. But now that oil price

548
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 3: is over one hundred dollars a barrel. This is going

549
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: to flood Russia's coffers and they're going to be loaded

550
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 3: with money and nothing we can do about it. It's

551
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 3: just the way the world works. But it's certainly an

552
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 3: unintended consequence of what's happening here.

553
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: But then you have to ask yourself. Is Russia giving

554
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: Iran information and that question was posed aboard Air Force

555
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: One see any evidence.

556
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 5: We don't know, but it's not doing very well. If

557
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 5: they are, it's not helping much. If you take a

558
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 5: look at what's happened to Iran in the last week.

559
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 5: If they're getting information, it's not helping them much.

560
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 4: What would it mean to you if they were.

561
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 3: I mean, even if it's not helping the Iranians particularly much,

562
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 3: it's still involving themselves in a conflict.

563
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 4: That or not I said, say we do it against them?

564
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 8: Wouldn't they wouldn't they say that we do it against

565
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 8: sem I don't know. Look, they can give all the

566
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 8: information that they want, but the people they're sending it

567
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 8: to are overwhelmed. Russia would be overwhelmed too, anybody would

568
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 8: be overwhelmed. We have the greatest military on earth that

569
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 8: I built it in my first term, and unfortunately I'm

570
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 8: forced to use it now.

571
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: Okay, So that Donald Trump and he's saying that, yeah,

572
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: they asked Moscow not to give information to Iran, and

573
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: that Trump previously said that there are no signs that

574
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: they're doing that.

575
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 4: Russia and Iran were friends of convenience.

576
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 3: There's no cultural or religious ties really between Russia and Iran.

577
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 4: It was pretty much like, hey, I hate America. Do

578
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 4: you hate America? Yeah? I hate America.

579
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, why don't we do some stuff together and

580
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 3: figure it out? But I don't see any real Russia's thrilled.

581
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 3: Nobody's happier about this war than Russia because the price

582
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: of oil has gone through the roof, and that means

583
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 3: they got money coming out of their ears all of

584
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 3: a sudden for a country that desperately needs money because

585
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 3: they've been spending all of their dollars and all of

586
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 3: their resources funding that separate war in Ukraine. So yeah,

587
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 3: Russia may share a couple bits of intel with Iran

588
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 3: just to kind of play nice or pretend like, hey,

589
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 3: we're seeing but Donald Trump just.

590
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: Said, ah, world do bad things to them.

591
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, but again just to kind of to make it

592
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: look like there's still some sort of an alliance between

593
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 3: Russia and Iran going on here, because again, there's no

594
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 3: historical cultural or religious ties between those two countries, and

595
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 3: Russia probably sitting back thinking, I hope this war with

596
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 3: Iran drags out for years, because that'll keep oil and

597
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 3: over one hundred dollars a barrel. Maybe they'll go to

598
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty dollars a barrel and we can

599
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 3: finally start making some money again.

600
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: Well, Lindsay Graham just kind of summarized the US foreign

601
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: policy in one sentence. He said, when this regime goes down,

602
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna make a ton of money.

603
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 9: I want to get your take on all of this.

604
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 9: A billion dollars a day oil price is up twenty

605
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 9: seven percent in a week. You've got the present wanting

606
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 9: a one and a half trillion dollars defense budget in

607
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 9: twenty seven, the idea that the Pentagon is about to

608
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 9: come to you for fifty billion dollars on these strikes

609
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 9: to Iran.

610
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 10: How are you going to answer, best money ever spent?

611
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 10: Was it worth to America to take down a religious

612
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 10: Nazi regime who's trying to build a nuclear weapon to

613
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 10: deliver to America. That's a really good investment. They're going

614
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 10: to fall, Let's not if the regime falls, it's a.

615
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 4: Matter of when.

616
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 10: And you didn't mention today, and nobody has. Quite frankly,

617
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 10: we now know they had enough sixty percent enriched uranium

618
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 10: to make eleven bombs.

619
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: Okay, he said, it's the best money ever spent, the

620
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: part that he always forgets, and she just asked him,

621
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: You're going to have to go and ask for more

622
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: money because of how much this is costing. Donald Trump

623
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: has said, nope, we're not doing anything to pass the

624
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: Save Act. He said, best money ever spent. That's our

625
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: money that he's spending. Well, yeah, acts like he's just

626
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: pulling that out of his own piggy bank or there's

627
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: a money tree growing on the front lawn of the

628
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: White House.

629
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: Exactly, it's the best money you ever spent, because it

630
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 3: ain't his money, right, it ain't his money. Look, we

631
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 3: were sold this line of bs in two thousand and

632
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 3: three in Iraq as well. Hey, you know what, We're

633
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 3: going to open a rack back up to the world

634
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 3: and all of their oil and all of their natural resources,

635
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 3: and it's going to be big money for the United States.

636
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 4: And then we went to war in Iraq and we.

637
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 3: Really haven't heard anything about big money coming for the

638
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 3: United States out of Iraq. So I'm not taking Lindsay

639
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 3: Graham at face value. I'm sorry. The guy just is

640
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 3: a flip flopper and anything he's good whatever, whichever way

641
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 3: the wind blows. That's where Lindsay Graham is going. So

642
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 3: I'm not taking him at face value that this is

643
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 3: going to be some economic windfall for the United States.

644
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: And who owns all of our debt? Not us, by

645
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: the way, other countries they own our debt. So here

646
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: you've got the Energy secretary, and he says that Trump's

647
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: goal is still to lower your energy prices.

648
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 6: The Trump administration has an all in on lowering energy prices,

649
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 6: and I would say quite successfully. We've seen a dramatic

650
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 6: decline in gasoline prizes and diesel prices as soon you

651
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 6: will see it in electricity prices as well. So Trump administration,

652
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 6: in stark contrast to the Biden administration, his goal has

653
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 6: been the lower energy prices. The Biden administration quite successful

654
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 6: in raising energy prices. Gasoline today is still a dollar

655
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 6: fifty a gallon cheaper than it was in the middle

656
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 6: of the Biden administration. But you're right, we want it

657
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 6: back below three dollars a gallon, and it will be

658
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 6: again before too long.

659
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 4: Well what do you mean by too long? How much longer?

660
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 6: You never know exactly the timeframe of this, but in

661
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 6: the worst case, this is a week's This is not

662
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 6: a month's thing. This is a rand has continued to

663
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 6: build up their capabilities, first a massive expansion of their

664
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 6: missile program so that they can shield the completion of

665
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 6: their nuclear program. It is simply unacceptable for the United States,

666
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 6: for the Middle East geography, and for the world economy

667
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 6: to have a terrorist regime with nuclear weapons and a

668
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 6: gigantic missile arsenal. They've raised energy prices for Americans for decades.

669
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 6: It's finally going to come to an end.

670
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: So this is the short term pain for the long

671
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: term gain. He never did answer, by the way, so

672
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: when let me redirect and talk about something else, he said,

673
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: they want to get gased back down below three dollars

674
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: average today three dollars forty seven cents.

675
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 3: And again give I'll give Donald Trump for now the

676
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 3: benefit of the doubt because he's because that gentleman is

677
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: in that audio we just heard there is exactly right.

678
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 4: If this works out, things will be great.

679
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 3: Oil prices and gas prices will come down and things

680
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: will be in a lot better shape, and we're not

681
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 3: going to have this terrorist regime running around anymore. Like

682
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,719
Speaker 3: Al Davis said, just win, baby win. If you winning

683
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 3: solved everything, and whatever that means in this situation with

684
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 3: the Warner Man, if we win, things will end up being.

685
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: Okay, you're listening to ninety three WYBC. Good morning, It's

686
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,479
Speaker 1: Casey and Jim. It's ninety three WYBC and it is

687
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: time for the best audio of the day. And this

688
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: popped across my feed and I was curious as to

689
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: why is she? Is she up to something? Is she

690
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: doing something? Or she just felt the need to sing?

691
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 4: Are we talking about here.

Speaker 2: Yeah?

694
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,520

Speaker 3: you know, was a very well known actress in the

696
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 3: late nineties early two thousands, and I'm not familiar with

697
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,280

723
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,360
