1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: Well, I do jump remove one stuff.

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 2: So we spend a lot of money on gas, you

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: We're feeling up like every couple days, and you can

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: definitely tell a difference.

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 3: I think every little bit helps. Indiana Governor Micron announced

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 3: a thirty days suspension of the state's seven percent gas

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: use or sales tax. The tax being suspended is about

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: seventeen point two since per gallon right now, so a

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 3: couple bucks, and the move is meant to give some

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 3: short term relief from high gas prices.

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: Hey, good morning, Good morning.

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 3: It is Casey and Jim the key card work, So yeah,

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: we're here.

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: You were able to get in the building this morning.

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: You never know. It's kind of a fingers crossed sort

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: of situation.

18
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 3: We rolled that dice every single morning. But here we

19
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 3: are in a beautiful spring morning across central Indiana, and

20
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: thank you for being here. We're going to talk more

21
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 3: about the suspension of the gas sales tax. Also on

22
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 3: the way this morning, she has all the answers.

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: Call see if you can figure out what's wrong with

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: this thing?

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 4: Won't crank up?

26
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: And everything seemed to be put together right bell I see, okay,

27
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: stop back back don't war back to going.

28
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 3: He be doing good.

29
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: It ain't got no gauge you see there, Scooter. Things

30
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: are the simplest things.

31
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: First, Nikki Kelly's gonna join us at ten and we're

32
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 3: gonna talk more about the gas prices, also taxes and

33
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: Trump endorsements. Check this out. There's another new podcast in

34
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 3: the works.

35
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

36
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 4: You're HHS Secretary. This podcast is about telling the truth,

37
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 4: especially when it's uncomfortable. I'm going to have fearless conversations

38
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 4: with critical thinkers, including independent doctors, respected scientists, and leaders

39
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 4: in medical innovation and research.

40
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: So that is RFK Junior, and he's announcing he's going

41
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: to be launching a new podcast where quote nothing is

42
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: off limits. At one point, he says government actually lies

43
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 3: to us. So that coming from an active Cabinet member

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: is either the most honest thing a government official has

45
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: ever said, or it's the beginning of the most interesting

46
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: media empire in Washington. Also on the way this morning,

47
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: this is an embarrassing experience.

48
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 5: Sometimes people complain about a lot of urgency, like they're

49
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 5: just interrupted by they're at work, they're out with friends,

50
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 5: and suddenly out of nowhere. They have to go to

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 5: the bat and they have to do it now. There

52
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 5: are a lot of people. One out of seven people, Okay,

53
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 5: I want to just internalize this number. One out of

54
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 5: seven people poop their pants regularly in America.

55
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: That's right, right, normalizing an experience that affects millions of

56
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: people want no shame, seven relatability.

57
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: One out of seven on a regular basis.

58
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 3: An accident in their pants.

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: I can't wait to dig into that on this show.

60
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: That should be interesting. Wow.

61
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: Back to Governor Mike Braun's statement about gas taxes. He

62
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 3: said he was suspending Anyanni's gas tax to provide Hoosier's

63
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: relief from the pain at the pump from high gas prices.

64
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: He's calling on gasoline retailers to pass these savings directly

65
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: onto consumers, and they will be monitoring to ensure that

66
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: they do. He's also called on the Attorney General Todd

67
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 3: Roketa to enforced protections from price gouging by retailers. I

68
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: know you're going to hear people all morning long say

69
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: it's about time or oh, it's only seventeen cents. I'm

70
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: going to go in the opposite direction, and I'm going

71
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 3: to say thumbs up. This is supposed to be how

72
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: it works. They heard constituents complaining about the price, and

73
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: they reacted.

74
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: I'll give Governor Braun a little bit of credit here.

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: Now keep in mind, and we're going to do a

76
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: deep dive into this at ten o'clock with Dickey Kell

77
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: going toto a lot of the details on this, but

78
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: this is there are so many taxes as it relates

79
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: to gas, and this is just one of those taxes

80
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: that have been suspended. So let's break it down. There's

81
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: the federal gas tax that's not going anywhere. We're still

82
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: going to be paying that. There is the state of

83
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: Indiana gas tax that is not going anywhere that today

84
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: is about thirty two cents a gallon, So that's a

85
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: ton that you're paying. This is the third tax that

86
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: you pay every single time you fill up at the pump,

87
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: and this is the sales tax on the price of gas.

88
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: By the way, that is the smallest of all three

89
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: of the taxes. So you know, we got a little

90
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: bit here, but there's still a ton that we're paying.

91
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: So be specific about this. This is the sales tax

92
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: associated when you purchase gas and fill up your gas tank.

93
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: So I will give Mike Brown a little bit of

94
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: credit here because it was four weeks ago that he

95
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: was asked about this by reporters. You know, prices of

96
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: gas have gone through the roof because of the military

97
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: invasion in Iran. What are you going to do about,

98
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: a Governor Braun? And he said, you know what, give

99
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: me two or three weeks and if things don't settle down,

100
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: we'll take a look at it.

101
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: Hey, he said he was going to monitor this situation.

102
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 3: He monitored and he made a move.

103
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: So I give credit to him for actually following through

104
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: on something he said in public when reporters asked him

105
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: about it a month ago. However, it was Governor Mike

106
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: Braun who was in the legislature in twenty seventeen that

107
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: started this entire gas tax disaster that we're on right now.

108
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: So it's difficult for me that when you know, keep

109
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: in mind, casing, we do have the fifth highest gas

110
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: tax in the nation, the fifth high. Do you think

111
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: we have the fifth best roads in the nation to

112
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: feel like that? You no, I do. You and I

113
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: were just took a trip where we drove to the

114
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: East coast and we drove back and you can tell

115
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: where the Ohio Indiana border is. I don't need to.

116
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: I don't need like some sort of line in the road.

117
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: I don't need a sign that says welcome to Indiana.

118
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: I feel it as my bones shake, because the road

119
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: immediately changes Ohio roads pretty decent. The minute you cross

120
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: that Indiana state line. It is an absolute dumpster fire

121
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: on I seventy, So I have to I like to

122
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: drink coffee when I drive. I think that's common. Everybody

123
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: has a beverage when they're driving.

124
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: You gotta be carefully you don't spill it on yourself.

125
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: It's worse than that. I have to plan my beverage

126
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: consumption like hours in advance. I have when I'm driving

127
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: west through Ohio on my way to Indiana, i' to

128
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, I've got this much coffee left, and

129
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: I've got ten more miles left in the state of Ohio,

130
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: because I know that once I hit the end of

131
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: the Indiana state line, you can't drink anything or else

132
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: you'll be wearing it. So that's that's part of the

133
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: problem here is is that we're paying the fifth highest

134
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: gas tax in the nation and we're not getting the

135
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: value out of it on our road. So it's tough

136
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: for me to give. You know, Governor Brawn a whole

137
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: lot of credit on this because he was part of

138
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: the problem. He voted for this in twenty seventeen that

139
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: got us to this situation. But I will give him

140
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: credit for following up on what he said he would

141
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: do four weeks ago when he was asked.

142
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: So I will be the positive one. This morning, Braun

143
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: heard from ten Republican senators and the people at the pump,

144
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: and then he responded, that's actually how representative government is

145
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: supposed to work. Constituents complain, Legislators act executive response. Now,

146
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: I know it's only for thirty days. It's a small relief,

147
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 3: but it's not a lot, but it is something. Now, again,

148
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,559
Speaker 3: this isn't going to be a permanent fix. A thirty

149
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: day suspension does say to me, we see you and

150
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: we're trying, and that is what actually matters.

151
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: You do, agreed, because you know what, usually what we

152
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: get from the lawman is nothing.

153
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: What did you get from Holcombe back in twenty two

154
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: the price was higher than it is now, and what

155
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 3: did he do? Nothing?

156
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: Oh? Right, right, So that tells me.

157
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 3: That Governor Mike Brown loves you a little bit more

158
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: than Eric kolkommitted.

159
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: That's a pretty low bar, pretty low bar, but he

160
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: did achieve that. No, I will governor Brown credit and

161
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: it is better because what we usually hear from the

162
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: Republicans in the States.

163
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: Is sorry, deal with it, or you know what, We're

164
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: going to.

165
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: Form a committee and will investigate. Hey, you know you

166
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: know what I need. We need to spend twenty million

167
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: dollars to study the situation. We're going to talk about it.

168
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: We're we're going to have a meeting where all we

169
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: talk about is planning the next meeting. That's usually what

170
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: we get. So you're right, Okay, fine, I'll give Braun

171
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. You convinced me. I'll get Braun a

172
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: little bit more credit than I was initially because this

173
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: is actually concrete, you know, moves in the right direction

174
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: that you know, starting immediately, people are going to see

175
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: a difference.

176
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 3: So you've got Indiana State Rep. Greg Porter from Indianapolis

177
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: saying that the gas tax suspension is a mostly political

178
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 3: posturing move, and I think a lot of people would

179
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 3: agree with that as well, because it is for thirty days,

180
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: which gets us right up to May well, here is,

181
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: and you got it. I think if they can do

182
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 3: it now, they could have done it all along.

183
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and here's the specific issue. I've got with Representative

184
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 1: Greg Porter on this. Now, I couldn't find anything recently

185
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: with him talking about the gas tax, but he did

186
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: find something from twenty twenty two. In fact, I'm looking

187
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: right now at an Indiana Democrat press release that they

188
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: send out on June twenty two and said, quote the

189
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: Indiana Democrat Party, By the way, these are their words,

190
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: not mine. The Organization that Advocates for the Future of

191
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: Indiana and its Families today joined state Representatives Terry Austin,

192
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Renee Pek, and Greg Porter in calling on Governor Eric

193
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: Holcombe to suspend the gas tax. So in twenty twenty two,

194
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: he was all about it. He was like, we got

195
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: to suspend this gas tax. We gotta do this, we

196
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: gotta suspend this wasn't political posturing then and now in

197
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: the twenty tenty six and once Governor Brown actually does it,

198
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: he comes out and says, oh, this is just political posturing.

199
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: So it's like he's I'm going to give the Indiana

200
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: Democrats a little bit of free advice, which may be

201
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: worth exactly what they're paying for. But what and if

202
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: Greg Porter is doing is the way politics was done

203
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties. You just attack your opponent.

204
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: Your attack your opponent, and that's clearly not working for

205
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: most Americans these days. Why couldn't he have said, you

206
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: know what, I supported this in two thousand and two,

207
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: and Governor Holki in twenty twenty two, and Governor Holcom

208
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: did nothing, and I supported this today, and I will

209
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: give Mike Broun credit for that today because Greg Porter

210
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: then went on to talk about all the ridiculous spending

211
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: that the Republicans are doing in the legislature, and I

212
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: agree with him totally on that. He hit Braun on

213
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: his taxpayer funded helicopter that he takes back and forth

214
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: to the state.

215
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 3: He mentioned the state's corridor project.

216
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: All fair game, But for a guy that just a

217
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: few years ago was calling for this sort of gas

218
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: tax relief to then turn around today and the first

219
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: words out of his mouth or it's political posturing. No, no, no,

220
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: what you're doing is political posturing in the worst kind

221
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: of way. Give Braad at least a little bit of credit,

222
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: then hammer him on his taxpayer funded helicopter that he uses.

223
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: It is pretty rich calling it political posturing. Come from

224
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: a party that shut down the government for over forty

225
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: days while their members vacation in Scotland. You know, so

226
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: which which way you're going to go? You also had

227
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: another Democrat, Carrie Hamilton, saying Republicans are cleaning up their

228
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 3: own making. So how much are Hoosier is actually going

229
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: to save this from braun watching? Could you talk about

230
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 3: the cost savings that they could see in the plump.

231
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: Well gimber tank could be up to fifty million dollars

232
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: per month, per thirty.

233
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 3: Days, fifty million dollars, So a buck or two here

234
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 3: and there by you adds up to fifty million dollars

235
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 3: for the state of Indiana.

236
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: It's a big deal. We know that Hoosiers are struggling.

237
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: They're struggling just to pay their bills, their grocery bills,

238
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: their rent, their property taxes, their electric bill. Every little

239
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: bit will help and we will take this to the bank.

240
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: And that's another thing I mean. Unfortunately, I'll go back

241
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: to what Greg Porter said, calling this political posturing. We

242
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: just heard when just a couple minutes ago, you played

243
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: some audio from some average everyday. Hoosiers that were like, yeah,

244
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: don know, this is good. I drive a lot, I

245
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: pay a lot of money in gas. I'm going to

246
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: use this right now. That's not political posturing. Putting extra

247
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: money inside the pockets of hoosiers immediately, even if it's

248
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: only for thirty days, is not political posturing. It's helping

249
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: people who are really really struggling.

250
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: So wibc's Ryan Hedrick doing some real journalism that matters

251
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 3: going to the pump and actually asking hoosiers and talking

252
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 3: to people, and we'll hear more from you coming up

253
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 3: on ninety three. WIBC real hoosiers at real gas stations.

254
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: This is the accountability check. Whatever politicians say about the

255
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 3: tax suspension, the people pumping gas know immediately whether they're

256
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: seeing savings. Wibc's Ryan Heddrick hit the streets and he

257
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 3: talked to people at gas stations and they were talking

258
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 3: about Governor Mike Brown suspending the tax on the sales

259
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: tax on gas for the next thirty days. Will you

260
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: actually see the savings at the pump? Well, let's hear

261
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: from hoosiers.

262
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: Macy savings of maybe fifteen dollars, maybe twenty dollars a week,

263
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: I mean, it's that fifteen to eighteen twenty cents that

264
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: he is taking off of our gas now is only

265
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: going to put it back into the people pockets that

266
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: really actually need and as the daily working people that

267
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: use their car twenty four to seven.

268
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're filling up multiple times a week, every

269
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 3: little bit does that up.

270
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I was talking about in the last

271
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: break when we talked about, you know, Representative Greg Porter

272
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: coming out and saying that this is political posturing. That

273
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: doesn't look too good to average every day Hoosiers when

274
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: you call this political posturing. Yet I'm going to the

275
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: gas pump and maybe filling up a couple of times

276
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: a week every week and spending my hard earned dollars.

277
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, I don't have a lot of

278
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: hard earned dollars to spare these days, because the price

279
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: of just living and existing right now is so difficult.

280
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: Because the cost of everything, whether it's grocery, these are taxes,

281
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: or rent or my electric bill and all of that stuff.

282
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: I just I keep going back to this, but I

283
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: just keep thinking that was such a blown statement by

284
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: Representative Greg Porter to come out and call this political posturing.

285
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: This guy appreciates this. This is a Hoosier that's sitting

286
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: here and going, man, this is going to make a

287
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: difference for me.

288
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: So you've got Representative Andrew Ireland and he said this

289
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 3: was huge. Governor Brown is suspending Indiana's gas tax. Of

290
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 3: course I would expect him to do some cheerleading. But

291
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: he also said next session he's going to be introducing

292
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: a bill to tax remittances sent out of the country

293
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 3: by illegal aliens and non citizens and use that money

294
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: to permanently cut gas taxes. He went on to say,

295
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: we can fix our roads and let Mexico pay for it.

296
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: Now, that's a policy proposal with obvious political appeal and

297
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: also some significant legal complexity to it.

298
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: The concept is clever, but the execution is going to

299
00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 3: require some real careful legislative drafting. And and we always

300
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: say things go to die in the Senate. So he

301
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: can introduce this in the House, But what will the

302
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 3: Senate do if they get their teeth into it?

303
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, Representative, this isn't the first time the

304
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: Representative Ireland has floated this concept. He floated it last

305
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: year and I don't know if he ended up introducing

306
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: anything into the House. During the twenty twenty sixth session.

307
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: But if he did, it certainly didn't go anywhere. Maybe

308
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: part of the fact that the entire legislature was distracted

309
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: about redistricting from the entire last legislative session, they really

310
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of time for other things. But

311
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: I will give a representative Ireland credit on this. Seems

312
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: like a great idea, love ideas, but more important than

313
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: ideas the execution. You got to be able to pull

314
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: it off.

315
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 3: Yep. So here's another Hoosier at the gas station and

316
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: their thoughts on the announcement from Governor Mike Brown suspending

317
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 3: Indiana's sales gas tax.

318
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 6: I'm want to bet you that's almost doubled you know

319
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 6: what I'm spending because I also do love travel, umpiring.

320
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 6: I've noticed price is going up really high, and I've

321
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 6: got a car that's really economically sound as far as

322
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 6: Miles bagallum. But it's really affected my pocketbooks to be

323
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 6: in a single.

324
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 3: Day, okay. And it sounded like that's a person who

325
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 3: either likes to be involved or has the second job.

326
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Umpiring, he's got a second job, done, a second

327
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: get there. Unfortunately, way too many Hoosiers have a second

328
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: job because they've got to pay their bills. But yeah,

329
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: this is a real impact. Look, this isn't going to

330
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: save the day for everybody, but at this point in time,

331
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: every little bit counts. And I think why people are

332
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: reacting so positively the way they are is because it's

333
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: so rare when we see something that happens from our government,

334
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: either the federal government, state government, or local government that

335
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: immediately has a benefit to every single Hoosion. Now you

336
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: could make the argument that, oh, you know, there's a

337
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: certain amount of people that don't drive, so they won't

338
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: see this, But what ninety percent of the state has

339
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: a car and drives and has to pay this tax

340
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: and it won't affect them, you know. Caseye, Sometimes people say, I,

341
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, won't listen to the other side or won't

342
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: cross the aisle to make a deal on this. Ninety

343
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: percent of Hoosiers are getting money back on this. I

344
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: gave the other ten percent up. I didn't go for

345
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: a whole hundred percent some sort of savings where every

346
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: Hoosier would be involved. It was fine on this, I'll

347
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: cross the aisle, I'll shake the hands of everybody and

348
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: say I'll take the ninety percent of hoosiers that will

349
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: get some sort of benefit from this reduction in the

350
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: sales tax on gas.

351
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: So will the gas prices fall if the Iran sees

352
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 3: fire holds well, obviously it's going to impact gas prices,

353
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 3: but not immediately. Isn't that interesting? They skyrocket really quick

354
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: when a conflict breaks out, but it takes weeks to

355
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 3: come back down. Funny how that works.

356
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I get it. Look, oil and gas

357
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: are a commodity. They are traded on commodities exchanges. That's

358
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: kind of the way these things go. It does take

359
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of time for them to wade through

360
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: the system and work themselves out.

361
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, they've got to get that cheaper oil moving

362
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: through the refineries the disc then down to the gas stations.

363
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: But it was a week ago where your President Donald Trump,

364
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 3: he said he knew gas was going to go up.

365
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: Gas prices will rapidly come back down. Stock prices will

366
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: rapidly go back up. They haven't come down very much. Frankly,

367
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: they came down a little bit, but they've had some

368
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: very good days over the last couple of days. We've

369
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: done actually much better than I thought. But we had

370
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: to take that little journey to a ran to get

371
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: rid of this horrible threat.

372
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 3: So you've got a week ago Trump's saying that gas

373
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 3: would go up. Now he's saying it's going to go

374
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 3: back down. Ceasefire, oil drop by twelve percent, Brawn suspending

375
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 3: Indiana's gas tax, a tax on the sale. So the

376
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 3: dominoes potentially are falling. And when a politician says something

377
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 3: and then there's evidence to support it, you have to

378
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 3: be honest about that and acknowledge it. Well, okay, we've

379
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: got somebody who's trying to do something.

380
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: Well, I give Donald Trump credit administration credit, because I

381
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: think it was, you know, four or five weeks.

382
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 3: Ago they said it's gonna go up.

383
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: Well, we played all the audio clips on this show

384
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: short term pain, long term game, short term pain, long

385
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: term gain, and all the conservative influencers on social media

386
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: will repeating the same thing, short term pain, long term gain,

387
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's what we've seen here. But I will

388
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: give them credit because that's what you've got to do.

389
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: When you do something like a huge military operation like

390
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: what we're doing in Iran and it's going to affect,

391
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: immediately affect the pocketbooks of average citizens, you've got to

392
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: be able to go in there and set their expectations

393
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: on that and so that it's not a surprise to everybody.

394
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: So credit to the Trump administration for doing that when

395
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: this started. Now we need the short term part of

396
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: it to kick in the pain part. Nailed that. Yep,

397
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: you were right about that. Sure, where's the short term

398
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: Partlet's let's just get moving.

399
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 3: We've got more on this topic all morning long. You're

400
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: listening to Casey and Jim. It is ninety three WIBC.

401
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 7: The Iranians originally put forward a ten point plan that

402
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 7: was fundamentally unserious, unacceptable, and completely discarded. It was literally

403
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 7: thrown in the garbage by President Trump and his negotiating team.

404
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 7: Many outlets in this room have falsely reported on that

405
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 7: plan as being acceptable to the United States, and that

406
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 7: is false.

407
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 3: That is Caroline Levet and she means business. Did you

408
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 3: hear that? Fundamentally unserious, unacceptable, and completely discarded. Three adjectives

409
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 3: that eliminate any ambiguity about where the negotiation started and

410
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 3: who's running them. I ran walked in with a wishless

411
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 3: Trump's team walked in with a trash can. So America

412
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: is the one that is in the negotiation position, we're

413
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 3: the ones in the driver's seat.

414
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: How can you be a serious person? And look, if

415
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: you're totally in the bag for the Democrats and you're

416
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: just going to carry their water. I totally get that,

417
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: and it's plenty of the media do that every day.

418
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: But if you're going to be intellectually honest, how can

419
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: you sit here and look at the facts on the

420
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: ground and how we've bombed thirteen thousand military targets in Iran,

421
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: and how we've got the greatest military in the world

422
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: right outside their doorstep with hundreds of planes and thousands

423
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 1: of missiles. Trump is negotiating the way he likes to

424
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: do it, with a gun to his opponent's head, and

425
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: in this case, that's not a figure of speech, that's

426
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: literally what he's doing.

427
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 3: So what you've seen is the US Navy escorting ships

428
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: through the waters that the Iranian military are forcing a

429
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 3: fee to enter. And that sounds absurd, but really what

430
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 3: it's doing is turning a conflict into a revenue sharing partnership.

431
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 3: Money goes to Iran for reconstruction. America gets some oversight

432
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 3: money ensuring freedom of navigation, But what does America care?

433
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: I mean, We're not getting our oil from the Strait

434
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 3: of Horror Moves.

435
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, not. But I think Donald Trump wants to

436
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: turn this into his own personal toll road over there,

437
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: the Straight of Horror Moves, and some of the money,

438
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: like you said, will go to Iran, and we'll keep

439
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: some of it. Right now, ships can traverse the Strait

440
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: of Horror Moves freely with absolutely no payment system whatsoever.

441
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: Different than if you if you go through the Panama Canal,

442
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: you got to pay to kind of maneuver on that way.

443
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: You get to go through the Straight of Horror Moves

444
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: absolutely free. What Trump is saying that that gravy train

445
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: is over. Anybody that comes through the Strait of Horror

446
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: Moves is going to have to pay a fee. Iran

447
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: will get some United States will take a little cut

448
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: for ourselves in all of this. And who do you

449
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: think is that it's going to drive absolutely crazy?

450
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: Oh, the Europeans.

451
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: Europeans is gonna drive China crazy. It's gonna drive India crazy.

452
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: Everybody else who didn't want to help out in this

453
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: war and Iran, everybody else that called us the big

454
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: bullies of the world, that said they didn't want anything

455
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: to do with this, didn't let us use our NATO bases,

456
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: wouldn't let us fly over their countries, wouldn't do anything

457
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: to open the straight of horror moves. Oh, now, all

458
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's going to be a toll when

459
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: your ships go through it.

460
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 3: Now you had mentioned China. America in a serious trade

461
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 3: tariff with China, and they are clearly a rising global threat.

462
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 3: Forty five percent of China's oil comes from the straight

463
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 3: Guess who has the upper hand in tariff negotiations. Now

464
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: China is going to have to play our game. And

465
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 3: maybe that was the point all along.

466
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was the point all along. And

467
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: there's a fairly smart narrative out there that everything that

468
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: Trump has been doing in the last six or eight

469
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: months has been about combating China on the world stage,

470
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: whether it's Venezuela and taking Nicholas Maduro and throwing him

471
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: into a New York jail cell. And now the US

472
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: has a lot of influence in that country, and as

473
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: it relates to their oil, the blockade that Trump put

474
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: in place around Cuba, and by the way, that's still

475
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: an active situation that needs to have some sort of

476
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 1: resolution here in the very near future. What's going on

477
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: in Iran right now? What happened with Iran when we

478
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: bombed them last summer. Yeah, this is all a play

479
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: Greenland and Greenland to the mix as well. This is

480
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: all a play for Trump on the world stage to

481
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: position the United States to defend against our adversaries, primarily China,

482
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: secondarily Russia.

483
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: So there was a recent you gov poll that came out.

484
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 3: It was just a snapshot poll, and it said sixty

485
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 3: six percent of American support Donald Trump's two week ceasefire

486
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: if Iran reopens the straight of horror moves. So you've

487
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: got a fifty six point gap in favor of a ceasefire. Okay,

488
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 3: the American people graded the assignment, gave it a sixty

489
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: six out of ten. That means the left failed the test.

490
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. We've said this since the very beginning, since the

491
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: first bombs started falling in Iran, whatever it was four

492
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: or five weeks ago. Now, look, this is going to

493
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: be messy. It's going to be ugly. I understand if

494
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: you don't support it. I get that there's some reasonable

495
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: people can disagree on everything that's going on right now.

496
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: But when this is all over, when it's done. If

497
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: Donald Trump can get his victories and sell that to

498
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: the American people, the American people will end up being

499
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: in favor of everything that happened. And this is one

500
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: example of one poll that proves that theory out.

501
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 3: So there was another poll, and this was a broader

502
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 3: poll and it was done by the same company you gov,

503
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 3: and they say inflation is America's most important political issue

504
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 3: and Donald Trump's still not getting good marks for that.

505
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 3: They're increasingly worried about rising prices, feeling like the economy

506
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 3: is getting worse. And in regards to inflation, Donald Trump's

507
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 3: numbers are still underwater, more people disapproving than approving. Inflation

508
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 3: one of his weakest issues politically.

509
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: And we see this in a lot of polls, because

510
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: we've talked about a lot of polls the last several weeks,

511
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,239
Speaker 1: especially since the Warriner ran started, but even before that,

512
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: and some form of the economy always ends up as

513
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: the biggest concern, And it depends on how you ask

514
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: the question, and it depends the laundry list of options

515
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: that you give people to choose from what happens. I

516
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: think it was a couple of weeks ago the number

517
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: one concern was healthcare and health care prices okay, fine,

518
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: And then we've heard other polls previously that talk about jobs,

519
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: or talk about the economy, or talk about inflation, or

520
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: talk about the price of things, or healthcare, whether it's

521
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: your cost to go to the doctor or how much

522
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: health insurance is. All of those things fall under the

523
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: same umbrella of life is too expensive right now in America.

524
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: Too many people can't pay their bills. Prices are going up,

525
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: and wages are not going up at the same rate.

526
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: That is the biggest bets, the biggest takeaway from all

527
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: of these polls. That's the biggest problem that Americans feel.

528
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: Americans feel face them every single day, and every single

529
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: day that we're in Iran and haven't settled that war,

530
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: and every single day that we're doing all these other

531
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: foreign policy things, whether they're good or bad, takes time

532
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: away from the Republicans to be able to fix the

533
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: number one problem, and that's the affordability problem. So here,

534
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: we were talking about this in January, We're talking about

535
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: this in February. Here it is now April. We're now

536
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: even closer to the midterms in November. What are we

537
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: seven months away now? Seven months away from the midterms

538
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: of November. Every month that takes where we go by

539
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: with the Republicans don't address the affordability issue makes them

540
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: much much, much much more vulnerable to the Democrats in

541
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: the November election.

542
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 3: Well, you feel it every time you go fill up

543
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 3: your car. Even with Governor Brawn's thirty day suspension of

544
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 3: Indiana's gas used tax, I mean it's we're still with

545
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 3: the fifth highest gas in the entire country. You feel

546
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 3: it every time you go to the grocery store. You

547
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 3: feel it when you pay your rent. And then you've

548
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 3: got those property tax bills coming out as well, which,

549
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: by the way.

550
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you we got our property tax bill.

551
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: I got an email with our property I meant to

552
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: mention too to you.

553
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 3: Sorry, cos Am I happy? Am I sad?

554
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 6: You know what?

555
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: Do I need to go in the corner in the

556
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 3: fetal position and start sucking my thumb.

557
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: Like what what?

558
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: What are we looking at? You? Remember?

559
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to ruin your day. But it's

560
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: not great. Okay, it's not great, of course, it's not

561
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: what were you expecting? You expecting part of the show by.

562
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 3: Give me Governor Brown thumbs up. And now I gotta

563
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 3: do thumbs down because he said he was going back

564
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 3: to that.

565
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: Well, and I'm glad we went down this road here,

566
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: because yes, we did get our property tax bill, and

567
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: no it's not great, and I haven't done the math

568
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: on it to see how much it's up from last year.

569
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: But you know, we had the big property tax fight

570
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,959
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty chief five, twenty twenty five. We had

571
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: the big property tax fight in twenty twenty five, and

572
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: Governor Braun did pass something. But even Governor and the

573
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: Republicans said, look, this is just step one.

574
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 3: I know you get right, were's step two.

575
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: Didn't get everything we want, but we're coming back next

576
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: year for step two. Now I might be wrong. Maybe

577
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: they passed something in this most recent legislative session that

578
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: I missed, and so if I did, somebody please call

579
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: me out on it. But I don't think I saw

580
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: step two this year. And I was kind of promised

581
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: to step two in twenty twenty six. I was promised

582
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: to step two on property tax.

583
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 3: So I have to take back all the nice things

584
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 3: I said about the Indiana gas sales tax.

585
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: No, you don't have to take him back, but we

586
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,959
Speaker 1: do have to couch them with you know reality. Yes, okay,

587
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: Governor Braun's done some good things. He's done some good

588
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: things when he's coming to office, and when he does those,

589
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: we give him the ad a boy and the pat

590
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: on the back and the gold star on his forehead.

591
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: And then when he does things that aren't good, like

592
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: not following up on what he said he would do,

593
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: which was come back with step two on property taxes

594
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, then it's within our right and

595
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: it's totally fair for us to give him the business

596
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: on that part. You can praise him on his actions

597
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: that are good and give him the business on the

598
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: things that aren't so good.

599
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 3: It is a daily visible issue for voters, isn't it affordability?

600
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's everything, everything, And it's funny because we started

601
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: this conversation. We started this conversation talking about that poll

602
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: and you know this pole it was inflation, and you know,

603
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: a week ago the poll was all about health care

604
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: costs and that was it, and then polls before that

605
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: it was about the economy in general, and other polls

606
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: have talked about jobs. Is all of those things have

607
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: to do with affordability. And look, it used to be

608
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: two years ago, the biggest problem was immigration, and it

609
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: was the wide open borders. And so we've got to

610
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,959
Speaker 1: give Trump's all the right it in the world for that,

611
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: because that's really not showing up on any of these polls.

612
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: Is way way wait, way way down there on the

613
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: list right now, that's a problem that got solved. Okay, great, congratulations,

614
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: You've done a lot and almost completely solved that problem.

615
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: We've shut the border down. We've still got a lot

616
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants to deport, but we're working on that.

617
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: But now it's another problem that's hitting us right in

618
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: the face every single day, and it's just as urgent

619
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: as the illegal immigration problem, and the Republicans got to

620
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 1: do something about it.

621
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 3: Here, So you've got the White House Press Secretary talking

622
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 3: about how jd. Vance is going to go to Pakistan

623
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 3: for talks. We'll get into that later, but I wanted

624
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 3: to mention, speaking of gas and gas stations, Sheets announcing

625
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 3: a major expansion in Tiana into Indiana. They say they're

626
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: going to build one hundred stores statewide over the next

627
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 3: ten years, investing about one billion dollars into Indiana, and

628
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: they expect that the one hundred stores of Sheets across

629
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 3: the great state of Indiana. We'll create about three thousand

630
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 3: plus jobs.

631
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: When did the gas station wars start, because remember it

632
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: was a big deal when Wahwah came to town and

633
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: that's another East Coast gas station that people love and

634
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: that came to Indiana. And then it was last year

635
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: where we got announce we're getting BUCkies here in central Indiana. Okay,

636
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: that's a big deal. And now another huge gas chain

637
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: out east is coming to town and Sheets and they said, hey,

638
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: you got find BUCkies. Wah Wah, hold my beer. I'm

639
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: building one hundred gas stations in Indiana. By the way

640
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: they pull that off, that would automatically put them into

641
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: the top five as far as a number of gas

642
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: stations under one umbrella in the entire state of Indiana.

643
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 3: Sheets based in Pennsylvania. They operate about eight hundred plus

644
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: locations across multiple states, and this is just their strategic

645
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 3: move to grow across the Midwest part of their regional expansion.

646
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 3: By the way, Sheets, if you've never been to one,

647
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 3: there're twenty four to seven. They are a gas station

648
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 3: and they also do made to order food and it's

649
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 3: where we always stop when we travel to the East

650
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 3: Coast because I fill up my coffee there.

651
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, we go to the east, drive to the

652
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 1: East Coast a lot, and Sheets has become our favorite

653
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: gas station. Look, Sheets isn't paying me to say this,

654
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: although if they're interested in something like that, you've got

655
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: my phone number. But look, you know, they're always clean,

656
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: they're always real efficient. They got self checkout, which I love.

657
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: They've got the self check out, they've got made to

658
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: order food. Most of their gas stations have an absolute

659
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: ton of pumps, so you're not waiting around. You know,

660
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: when you drive as much as we do back and

661
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: forth to the East Coast, you sample a lot of

662
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: gas stations.

663
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 3: And you pick your brand and stick to it well,

664
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 3: and Sheets has well.

665
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: Sheets earned our business every single I mean we tried

666
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: a lot of them and it was like, you know what,

667
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: the Sheets gas station. They're better than everybody else. So

668
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm excited for them coming to Indiana. They're good.

669
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 3: Their first location planned is for Indianapolis in twenty twenty seven.

670
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 3: You're listening to Casey and Jim. It is ninety three WIBC.

671
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 3: This is why people don't trust the media at all.

672
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 3: If you can't get something as basic as is this

673
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: person alive? Why would we trust you on anything else?

674
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: We don't.

675
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: CNN published a memorial post for Michael J. Fox while

676
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 3: he's alive and breathing. The CNN's obituary team. They published

677
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 3: a draft to the live site for the man who

678
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 3: just did an interview with them last month. Here's just

679
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 3: another reason to hate CNN, as if you needed another one,

680
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 3: of course, you know, Michael J. Fox has been fighting

681
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 3: Parkinson's disease with a whole lot of grace and humor,

682
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 3: by the way, and CNN puts out this post saying,

683
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 3: remembering Michael J. Fox, who's still alive.

684
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: It's a pretty easy serve, that pretty easy one to

685
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: fact check.

686
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 3: Does not deserve a premature obituary from a network that's

687
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 3: been wrong about everything for a decade. They owe him

688
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 3: an apology. Yeah, and nobody's gonna do that to Michael J.

689
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 3: Fox while I'm around.

690
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: And they ended up deleting the post and they need

691
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: to apologize for it. And this is creating quite the

692
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: you know, stir up on social media and people are like, hey,

693
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: you know what, come on, give them a break. They

694
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: made a mistake, they deleted it, they apologize for it.

695
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: And my response to that is, uh uh, I'm not

696
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: giving you a pass on that, because when CNN finger

697
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: wagged at me for years about vaccines and masks that

698
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: didn't work. You don't get a pass when you make

699
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: another mistake, when you, you know, are totally in the

700
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: tank for the Democrat Party for the last sixty years.

701
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: You don't get a pass from me when you say

702
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: things like this version of Joe Biden is the sharpest

703
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: version of Joe Biden I've ever seen. You don't get

704
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: a pass. And if they, like you said, if they

705
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: make a mistake on this, what else are they being

706
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: sloppy about? This one's pretty easy to disprove Michael J.

707
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: Fox is dead. Hey, quick google search, No he's not.

708
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: Oh sorry about that? What else that may be a

709
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: lot harder to prove? Are you quote being sloppy about?

710
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: And I won't even bring into the fact that they

711
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: may be intentionally feeding this information, because of course this

712
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: was just sloppiness. But what else are they missing out there?

713
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 3: Yeah? So, news outlets often will write pre write obituaries

714
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 3: for public figures, but this one was published and clearly

715
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 3: Michael J. Fox he's still active, He's appearing at events.

716
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 3: He's still working on TV projects and he's continuing all

717
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 3: of his work despite having Parkinson's disease. And Marty McFly

718
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 3: is with us.

719
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank goodness. Keep in mind CNN, remember them. They

720
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: had to have that big settlement for Nicholas Sandman after

721
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: they destroyed his life in twenty twenty. They had a

722
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 1: big settlement for Zachary Jung, who they accused of operating

723
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: a black market in Afghanistan. They have been held to

724
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: count on many things and are still screwing things up

725
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: all the time.

726
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 3: Nikki kell is going to join us NECK. She is

727
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 3: from Indiana Capitol Chronicle. We're going to talk gas taxes

728
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 3: and Trump endorsements. It's on the way from ninety three

729
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 3: WYBC
