1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: So we pull into the parking lot and there's a

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: service truck out there and it's called tinder Locksmith.

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: How about now there we go. It definitely caught my eye.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 2: And if your business is tinder Locksmith, if you're not

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 2: using the tagline your perfect match or something like that,

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: what are we even doing here?

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: What?

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 2: I don't even want to be in this country? If

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: that's not a tagline we're using for tinder Locksmith, swipe

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: right with us, something along those lines. It's made for

11
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: fantastic marketing campaign.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: Have you've seen I believe there's an ambulance company and

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: it's called Transcare.

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: There there is choice now, I'm sure they do. But

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: going back, you know, probably years ago when the company started,

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: they're like, Okay, we're in the transportation business medical patients,

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: so let's just call ourselves Transcare ambulance and I'm sure

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: nothing will go wrong with that, And then all of

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: a sudden, the word trans kind of changes.

20
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: Thing a whole different meaning.

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: It reminds me of when you and I lived in

22
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: South Bend. There was a very popular business that did

23
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: a lot of advertising called Fred's Transmission Huh, and for

24
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: decades their tagline was if your tranny's dead. Just call

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: Fred and they. I don't know if they're still using that,

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: but that was their marketing for decades.

27
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: The evolution of words. It's the Kennel and Casey Show.

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: My name is Casey, Rob is off today. That is

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: the dude Jim hanging out in the studio. So yesterday

30
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: Donald Trump made an announcement. He unveiled the new Great

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: American Healthcare Plan.

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: Are we calling it the Gap?

33
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 2: Great American?

34
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 4: Yeah?

35
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: I like that, the Gap plan. That's nice.

36
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: He's urging Congress to pass this legislation also turn the

37
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: plans ideas into law. Some people are saying he wasn't

38
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: being very specific, But let's talk about some of the

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: main proposals of the plan. Most favored nation drug pricing.

40
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: Drug companies would be required to lower prices.

41
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: Sounds okay, Yeah.

42
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: The policy was previously issued via executive order in May.

43
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 3: He also wants price transparency.

44
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: Hospitals, providers, and insurers would have to publicly post prices

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: and fees in their facilities.

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: That also sounds pretty good and reasonable. So you go

47
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: to the.

48
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: Hospital, for example, and you pull up there and you're

49
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: like checking out the menu.

50
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: They got like on a bunch of LCD screens like

51
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: you're at McDonald's. I'll have the number one supersize it,

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 2: and i'd also like an MRI with contrast.

53
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: Right, Can I get a burrito bowl and a heartcast?

54
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: Please? Hey, I'm all for that.

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: You think that they'll have it right out there in

56
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: the open or is it going to be yes, I'd

57
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: like to see the pricing plan.

58
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: Okay, Well you're going to have to go down to.

59
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: The basement and take a right through the X doors

60
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: there and it's right next to radiology and the janitor's office.

61
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. I can't believe that the hospitals are going to

62
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: want this prominently featured anywhere. They're probably going to want

63
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 2: to bury this. Or maybe it'll be like you sit

64
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: down at a restaurant and they give you a menu.

65
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: Here are your options for today. Our features are a

66
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: special chef special, is a your analysis or a you know,

67
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: a dermatology abrasion scrub? Well, that sounds nice.

68
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: So the goal is to let patient see the real

69
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: cost of things before you receive your care, which would

70
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: be nice.

71
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: I don't see my cholesterol medication on this registration. Oh,

72
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: I'll get you our prescription menu here. You go.

73
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: That's different.

74
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: It's like the drink menu at like the wine list

75
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: at the restaurant. Here's our prescription menu. Oh this is lovely.

76
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: I'll take some restatin and a glass of Chardenaye.

77
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: SETI wants to and taxpayer funded insurance subsidies. That's the

78
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: argument that's been going on for ever. And also direct

79
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: payment to Americans. Trump says the government would send healthcare

80
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: money straight to the people, and I believe that's where

81
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: the issue is going to occur.

82
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: Look, I'm all, I've said this since you know, Donald

83
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: Trump was running for election last year. Look, what we're

84
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: currently doing isn't working. All that not working. So is this,

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: you know, some magic bullet solution, wonderful idea. I don't know,

86
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: but at least the guy's trying something. Although it does

87
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 2: come across, you know, like everything Trump does as kind

88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 2: of a political rally pitch. You know, we're the greatest,

89
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: biggest ever, lowest prices in the world. Seems a little

90
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 2: bit more like a political pitch than then a plan.

91
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: And he's got some broad goals. We're going to lower

92
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: drug prices, we're going to make transparency, but it's not

93
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: really a plan. There's no detailed legislative text, there's no

94
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: clear mechanisms, there's no timeline for this. It's all very vague.

95
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: And by the time it does get through the Senate

96
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: and the House, they'll whitewash the whole thing and it

97
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: won't come out looking anything like the original intent, because.

98
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: That's what always happens.

99
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: But the White House does call the plan common sense

100
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: and bold. The one thing that I do like about

101
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: the idea is that it does shift power away from

102
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: the insurers and the bureaucrats and back to individuals, puts

103
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: patients more in control. At least that is the idea

104
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: of this plan. Somebody's got to do something right. And

105
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: like I said, what we've been doing is not working.

106
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: Great. How about we try something else. I don't know.

107
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: Are we just throwing stuff at the wall and seeing

108
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: what sticks?

109
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 5: Oh?

110
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly what we're doing. But you know what,

111
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: maybe this one sticks, or at least part of it sticks,

112
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: and we've got some improvement here. So knock yourself out,

113
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. It's better than it's better than doing the

114
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: same thing we've been doing for the last twenty years.

115
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: Here is Donald Trump talking about part of the plan.

116
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 6: The Great healthcare plan. That's the name.

117
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 7: It's called the Great Health Healthcare because it's great healthcare

118
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 7: at a lower price. Mandates unprecedented accountability and transparency from

119
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 7: insurance companies and all healthcare providers so that special interest

120
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 7: can no longer profiteer at your expense. As the saying go,

121
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 7: sunlight is the best disinfectant. That is why my plan

122
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 7: orders all insurance companies to publish rate and coverage comparisons

123
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 7: in very plain English. It requires insurers to publish detailed

124
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 7: information about how much of your money they're going to

125
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 7: be paying out in claims versus how much they are

126
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 7: taking in in profits.

127
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 6: In other words, you will be able to watch the scam.

128
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 7: It forces them to release detailed data on how many

129
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 7: claims are being denied and whether those denials are eventually

130
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 7: overturned an appeal. And most importantly, it will require any

131
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 7: hospital or insurer who accepts some Medicare or Medicaid to

132
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 7: prominently post all all prices at their place of business

133
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 7: so that you are never surprised and you can easily

134
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 7: shop for a better deal or better care.

135
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 6: And you're going to end up doing both.

136
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 7: You're going to get a better deal and better care,

137
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 7: we will have maximum price transparency, and costs will come

138
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 7: down incredibly. I'm calling on Congress surpasses framework into law

139
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 7: without delay. Have to do it right now so that

140
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 7: we can get immediate relief to the American people, the

141
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 7: people I love, Thank you very much.

142
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 3: How angry are you going to be when you see

143
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: the denials?

144
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: Right? If they actually end up pulling this data that

145
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: may be actually long term one of the most impactful

146
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: parts of this if he requires certain insurance companies to

147
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: publish the data that talks about Okay, here's how much

148
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: we paid out, here's how much we denied, and here's

149
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: how much profit our company made. Could that could be

150
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: more impactful in this process than anything. But let's not

151
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: pretend that just transparent and see in pricing is some

152
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: magic bullet and all of this for starters. If it's

153
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: an emergency, you really don't get to shop around, right,

154
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: You're gonna go with ya exactly. And if I'm looking for,

155
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: you know, a cancer doctor, do I want to go

156
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: with the cheapest one?

157
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: Right?

158
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: Do I want to go with the guy that's got

159
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: a coupon this week that I bought on group on?

160
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: I get fifty percent off my radiation and chemo treatments

161
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: this week. I don't know the transparency automatically equals lower prices.

162
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people confusing health coverage with health care,

163
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: and it does seem like right now, what we're paying

164
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: for is catastrophic.

165
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: Insurance sure because most health plans work with you've got

166
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: a deductible whatever that is, and you're paying full freight.

167
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: You're paying one hundred percent of your bills for the

168
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: most part until you reach that deductible. And then a

169
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: lot of plans, when you reach that deductible, you're responsible

170
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: for eighty percent. In the insurance company pace, are you

171
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 2: responsible for twenty percent? Insurance company pays eighty percent, And

172
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: that's the case up until you reach your annual out

173
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: of hocket maximum.

174
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 3: We're aiming for reaching that deductible early.

175
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: It's for surgeries before January's even done.

176
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: Tes love surgeries you get like eighty years.

177
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: Hey, I wasn't the one that was six since the

178
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: you know, New Year's Eve. You were the one that

179
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: was doing doctors in emergency room. So don't throw this

180
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: on me.

181
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: So one thing this will do is it's gonna possibly

182
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: force hospitals to compete like real businesses right there. If

183
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: you can shop around, perhaps maybe you want to go

184
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: someplace different. But it's also going to challenge big pharma

185
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: instead of protecting it. If Congress does block this or

186
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: doesn't move forward, or doesn't get something done, you know

187
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: that this is not going to be about policy, and

188
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: it will definitely be more about politics. The Great American

189
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: health Care Plan we'll see if they even address it.

190
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: Gap. I like that Great American Healthcare Plan.

191
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm calling it, anyway, Fill in the gap.

192
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: Oh, think of that.

193
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 3: I'm already creating taglines all right, like.

194
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 2: If you've ever ridden the tube in London, mind the gap?

195
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: That could be the things that could be part of

196
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: it too, Mind the gap. Oh are we on the

197
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: tube in London? No, we're getting American healthcare, Thank you

198
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: very much.

199
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 3: It is the Kendally Casey Show. It's ninety three WIBC.

200
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: Well, it's a mile from the Arctic Circle, and man,

201
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: it's crazy there right now, Minneapolis.

202
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: It is very very far north. And yes, you're right,

203
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: there's a lot happening in Indianapolis right now.

204
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: President Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act, and

205
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: that's his response to the protest, and the act would

206
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: allow the deployment of US troops and also the federalization

207
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: of the National Guard.

208
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: And he's been accusing the Minnesota.

209
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: Leaders of failing to stop professional agitators and insurrectionists who

210
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: are targeting ICE officers. And it seems that Tim Wallas

211
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: is now saying we need to turn down the temperature.

212
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was a guy that you know, certainly, he

213
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: and the mayor of Minneapolis haven't been turning down the

214
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: temperature so far in this process. And a lot of this,

215
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: a lot of these problems fall at the feet of

216
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: the state of Minnesota and the city of Minneapolis, because

217
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: they're fighting Ice tooth and nail. They're forcing their police

218
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: departments to not cooperate with ICE. They're agitating these protesters

219
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: in the process. Let's go back and look at when

220
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: Trump sent the National Guard to Memphis. Now a little

221
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: bit different here because we're talking to ICE versus the

222
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: National Guard, but he sent the National Guard to Memphis

223
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: to help control the crime. The mayor of Memphis a Democrats,

224
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: supported it. The state of Tennessee Republican governor supported that.

225
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: And we never heard any problems with when the National

226
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: Guard went to Memphis. We heard the crime rates drop.

227
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: We never heard of any incidents or anything. So a

228
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: lot of this is being driven by the fact that

229
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: the state of Minnesota and the City of Minneapolis are

230
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: fighting this tooth and nail and forcing their law enforcement

231
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: agencies to not cooperate with ICE during this whole process.

232
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 2: We've got now it's not working. There's a lot of

233
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: anger and tension and incidents that are happening there. And

234
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: so now we've taken a Trump's trying to take it

235
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: to the next level and threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act.

236
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: By the way, he threatened to do that with Chicago

237
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: and some other cities during the second term in twenty

238
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: twenty five, never actually went through with it. We'll see

239
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: if he pulls the trigger here on indianaplay.

240
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said he will institute the Insurrection Act, which

241
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: many presidents have done before me, and quickly put an

242
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: end to the travesty that is taking place in that

243
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: once great state.

244
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: Thank you for your attention to this matter. The difficult

245
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: part is these ICE.

246
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: Agents, they're being sent into hostile environments and then they're

247
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: being blamed when things go sideways.

248
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, these are professional agitators and We've been documented

249
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: and shown before. A lot of these people are paid protesters.

250
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: They're getting paid by various NGOs and organizations to be there.

251
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: It is an extremely tense situation that ICE runs into

252
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: every single day, and that's why we've had these incidents

253
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: that we've had less.

254
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: So the insurrect should act.

255
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: It's been used roughly thirty times in US history, most

256
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: recently in nineteen ninety two during the La Riots, and

257
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: the President has acted without state consent only five times

258
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: in the past one hundred and thirty years, and that

259
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: all happened.

260
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 3: During the Civil rights era. Are you okay? You're having

261
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 3: a bloody nose right now, aren't you. It's the dry

262
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 3: air here, that's nice. We'll get you some tissues here

263
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 3: in just a second.

264
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: But we've got all the lawmakers in Minnesota. They're the

265
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: ones that are just egging all of this on. Here's

266
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: a Minnesota state senator who is defending the rioters who

267
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: are attacking the ICE agents.

268
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 8: The disorder that exists in our streets. The public safety

269
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 8: risk at this point is not an insurrection in Minneapolis.

270
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 8: It is an invasion by masked, unaccountable secret police on

271
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 8: behalf of an authoritarian regime on the March.

272
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: So Trump has threatened to use the Insurrection Act in

273
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: the past. Most recently he considered it right after George

274
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: Floyd's death. He ultimately chose not to invoke it, but

275
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: he has suggested.

276
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 3: Now that he would.

277
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: You've got this reporter who was asking Caroline Levitt about this,

278
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: and she was not having any of it. She just

279
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: put him down in just sixty seconds. Just listen to

280
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: her and she pretty what she did. She turned it

281
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: back on him and made him answer the question, and

282
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: then she just slammed him down.

283
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 9: Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed.

284
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 5: Oh, you're asking me my opinion because an ice age

285
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 5: and doctored recklessly and killed the room justifiable.

286
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 9: Well, okay, so you're a biased reporter with a left

287
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 9: wing opinion.

288
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 6: What do you want me to do?

289
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, because you're a left wing hack. You're not a reporter.

290
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 9: You're posing in this room as a journalist. And it's

291
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 9: so clear by the premise of your question, and you

292
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 9: and the people in the media who have such biases

293
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 9: but fake like you're a journalist. You shouldn't even be

294
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 9: sitting in that seat. But you're pretending that you're a journalist,

295
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 9: but you're a left wing activist and the question that

296
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 9: you just raised and your answer proves your bias. You

297
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 9: should be reporting on the facts.

298
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 6: You should read reporting on the cases.

299
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 9: Do you have the numbers of how many American citizens

300
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 9: were killed at the hands of illegal aliens who ICE

301
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 9: is trying to remove from this country?

302
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 6: I bet you don't.

303
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 9: I bet you didn't even read up on those stories.

304
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 9: I bet you never even read about Lake and Riley

305
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 9: or Jocelyn Nungray. Are all of the innocent Americans who

306
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 9: were killed at the hands of illegal aliens in this

307
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 9: country and the brave men and women of ICE are

308
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 9: doing everything in their power to remove those heinous individuals

309
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 9: and make our community safer.

310
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: And shame on.

311
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 9: People like you and the media who have a crooked

312
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 9: view and have a bias view and pretend like you're

313
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 9: a real honest journalist.

314
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 7: Tom.

315
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 3: She seemed like she was really really angry at this guy.

316
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: But my question is, why do you have this guy

317
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: who's clearly not a American. He's from the foreign press

318
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,359
Speaker 1: trying to lecture Americans about our politics.

319
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 3: Well, he shouldn't even be in there.

320
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: And here's where he made this mistake. And this is

321
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: to speaking from somebody. I've hired journalists for years. I've

322
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: overseen from a management perspective journalist. I know how journalism works.

323
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: His mistake was giving his opinion. Nowat Carolyn Levitt, Smith

324
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: asked for his opinion, and his mistake was actually giving

325
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: his opinion. What he should have said, what a real

326
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: journalist would have said, is you know what, my opinion

327
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: isn't relevant here. I'm just to report the facts and

328
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: I'd like an answer to this specific question. But he

329
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: gave his opinion, and that opened him up to a

330
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: legitimate attack from the Press secretary.

331
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: So does he want to be a journalist or does

332
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: he want to be a commentator, because there is a

333
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: definite distinct difference between the two.

334
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: There are, even though in today's media world those lines

335
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: have blurred dramatically. They shouldn't and respected proper journalists should

336
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: know where those lines are, and he certainly crossed it

337
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: by giving his opinion.

338
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so governors can nullify federal authority by political resistance,

339
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: and you've got the Insurrection.

340
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 3: Act existing for moments when states.

341
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: Lose control, like what is happening in Minnesota.

342
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: And what's shocking about this is the state has done

343
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: nothing to try and exert control. They haven't made any

344
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: of their law enforcement officers put them in the position

345
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: to be able to support ICE, to provide crowd control,

346
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: to arrest people that are breaking the law. In the

347
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: view of protest, they have been the ones that haven't

348
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: done anything to help get this situation under control.

349
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: So many people are saying, oh, this is authoritarian and

350
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: an overreach of power.

351
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 3: No it's not.

352
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: It's basic governance. Keep people safe well.

353
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: And enforce the rule of law. Look, I get that

354
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: you don't like that ICE is going around and enforcing

355
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: the law by removing illegal aliens. But it's the law.

356
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: And then ICE goes to these places and you've got

357
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 2: protest theres that are blocking cars, that are throwing objects

358
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: at ICE, and no local law enforcement is there to

359
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: do anything about it. It goes back to enforcing the law.

360
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: And look, you're gonna have a hard time being on

361
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 2: the right side of history if you're on the side

362
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: of lawbreakers.

363
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Kendally Casey Show. It is ninety

364
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: three WIBC, same.

365
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: Team, new location.

366
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: Will they be known as the East Chicago Bears. So

367
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: you've got some Senate Republicans who wrote a bill to

368
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: lure the Chicago Bears to Indiana with stadium authority. It's

369
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: called Senate Bill twenty seven, and it is to make

370
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: Indiana's bid for the Chicago Bears more serious.

371
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 3: The Bears called the legislation.

372
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: A significant milestone, and the bill was assigned to the

373
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: Indiana Senate Appropriations Committee yesterday.

374
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 3: Things are heating up in this conversation.

375
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: There's no way this bill doesn't pass. I mean, come on,

376
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: I mean, we've got a Republican supermajority. The Republicans have

377
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: made it clear they're willing to spend whatever of our

378
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 2: taxpayer dollars they need to to bring the Bears to

379
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 2: northwest Indiana. This bill definitely going to pass.

380
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: This to me, it seems like it's more of like

381
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: a bragging rights thing more than anything.

382
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it does nothing for taxpayers. Right.

383
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 2: Well, I don't take a staunch a stance on this

384
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: as Rob does.

385
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: Do.

386
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: I hate the idea of our tax dollars being given

387
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: to billionaires to finance stadiums. Yes, but there is economic

388
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 2: benefit that comes from these, and there'll be people that

389
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 2: are like, actually, the studies show the economic ben bah

390
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: blah blah, you can't tell me that common sense doesn't

391
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 2: say all of these dollars are going to be coming in.

392
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 2: Let's say that the Bears build a stadium in northwest Indiana. Okay,

393
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: there's going to be massive amounts of development not only

394
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: with the stadium but around the stadium, because that's what

395
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: all the sports teams want now. They want the area

396
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: around the stadium so they can build hotels, bars, and

397
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: restaurants and own all of that money coming in. All

398
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: of those properties would generate property tax dollars. Now. I

399
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: know they're talking about giving a property tax break on

400
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: the stadium. I don't know if it's for the entire

401
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: entertainment district. But there's gonna be significan amount of sales

402
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 2: tax revenue that's created as part of these processes as well.

403
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: So and I don't like the idea of US giving

404
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 2: tax dollars to billionaires, But man, I do like the

405
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: idea of stistick it, sticking it to Governor Pritzker in

406
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: the Marria, Chicago and bringing him to Indiana. That kind

407
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: of that's a little sweetener in this deal that if

408
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 2: the Bears come to Indiana, we also got to get

409
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: to get to give a good one to Governor Pritzker

410
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 2: on this.

411
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 3: So what does Senate Bill twenty seven do.

412
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: It creates the Northwest Indiana Stadium Authority, and that authority

413
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: would have power to acquire land, finance construction, and also

414
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: build and manage stadium facilities. This is just legal framework,

415
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: it's not a final deal. But who's behind the bill.

416
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: You've got Senator Ryan Mischler, he authored the bill. He's

417
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: also chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. And you also

418
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: have Senator Chris Gartin, who is the Republican Majority floor leader.

419
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: He co authored the bill, and Michler said the bill

420
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: sets groundwork for discussion during the legislative session. But isn't

421
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: Garton the guy who was just recently creating AI photos

422
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: of himself beating up on Santa Claus over big, unaccountable

423
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: government overreach and now he wants taxpayer dollars to go

424
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: to an NFL team for a stadium.

425
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 3: So there's a bit of a disconnect there.

426
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 1: And let's give it up for your your Indiana GOP.

427
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they've spent more time talking about getting the

428
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: Bears in Indiana and a tenderloin pork sandwich, you know,

429
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: than anything.

430
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 2: When you say it out loud, yeah, it does. It

431
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: does sound. It does sound kind of stupid. Isn't this

432
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 2: the guy who posted AI pictures of him beating up

433
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: Santa Claus And you say that phrase out loud, and

434
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: it does sound really, really dumb. But let's dig into

435
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: this part of this is and so for the Bears

436
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 2: right now Soldier Field, Soldier Field is owned by the

437
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 2: City of Chicago. Now that's good and bad for the Bears.

438
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: The good part is that means the Bears don't have

439
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 2: to pay property taxes on that, which, by the way,

440
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: if they did, it is estimated they'd be paying two

441
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars a year in property taxes because that

442
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 2: is some prime beachfront property there in downtown Chicago. And

443
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 2: they keep jacking up the property tax rates in the

444
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: City of Chicago. So the Bears say, you know what,

445
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: We're going to buy the old Arlington Racetrack out in

446
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: Arlington Heights and we're going to turn that into our

447
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: new stadium. And the state and the city of Arlington

448
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: Heights said, oh, that's great. You're going to own this stadium.

449
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: You'll have to pay seventy five million dollars a year

450
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 2: in property taxes. So think about it. I feel like

451
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: Rob Kendall here talking about nothing but property taxes. But

452
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 2: think about that. If the Indiana has said we're not

453
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: going to charge you any property taxes on the stadium,

454
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: So in property taxes alone, the Chicago Bears would save

455
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: seventy five million dollars a year. That's enough money to

456
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 2: pay a franchise quarterback and an elite edge rusher right there.

457
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: Okay, so of course you had Governor Brawn during his

458
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: State of the State address, he said that the administration

459
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: is working hard to bring the Bears to northwest Indiana.

460
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: He said that he wanted to get it across the

461
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: finish line, and they're calling it a major step forward.

462
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 3: But let's think about this for a second. This bill is.

463
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: Creating the framework, which is I guess, smarter than just

464
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: having a stadium boondoggle.

465
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 3: Right at least we know what the plan is.

466
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 2: It does seem like there is some thought and planning

467
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: that's going into this year.

468
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: Yes, some clear rules a little Dare I say, fiscal

469
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: discipline is that involved?

470
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: Can you come on that? No you can't. Okay, you

471
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 2: can't say fiscal discipline. You can say that they're doing

472
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 2: a good job planning on how to spend all your money.

473
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 2: There you go, But fiscal discipline is not a phrase

474
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: that I would use in this. But they are doing

475
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: a good job and making a really good plan to

476
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 2: spend millions and millions of your tax dollars.

477
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so nice.

478
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: Well, if you're a Bears fan, I guess you're not

479
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: as upset about it. Then if you're not a Bears fan.

480
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're a Bear. If you're not a Bears fan,

481
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: this probably isn't that big of a deal to you,

482
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: or it.

483
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 3: Is a big deal to you and it's making you

484
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 3: mad at.

485
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: The end of the day. What I think what we're

486
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: going to see here is this is probably being used

487
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 2: as leveraged by the Chicago Bears so that they can

488
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 2: go back to the state of Indiana or the state

489
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 2: of Illinois and the city of Chicago and say, look

490
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 2: for us, you got to give us something better. Indiana's

491
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 2: rolling out the red carpet and giving us a free stadium.

492
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 2: You got to come a little bit closer to our

493
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 2: end of the deal in this negotiation here, And it's

494
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: likely that the Bears would would end up settling by

495
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 2: staying in the state of Illinois.

496
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 3: But when you had Roger Cadell walking around look at

497
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 3: a property.

498
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 6: You did.

499
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: The commissioner of the NFL was with the team owner

500
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: of the Chicago Bears and they were touring sites in

501
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: northwest Indiana. Now, the NFL, the NFL loves new stadiums

502
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: for their teams, so they're going to and then they

503
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 2: love when the cities and states pay for it. So

504
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 2: the NFL is going to be all about getting the

505
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears whatever deal is going to be best financial

506
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 2: lead to them, and they don't care about the geography

507
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 2: of any of this. But if you had said that,

508
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of months ago, this was a joke.

509
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 2: That's all it was. It was the Gary Bears. Ha

510
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: ha ha ha Oh. Now this is starting to look

511
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 2: a little bit more real. Maybe I'm not likely, but

512
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 2: it's not as dumb as what it sounded a couple

513
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 2: of months ago when this was first floated.

514
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: So, speaking of the Chicago Bears, they have a big

515
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: game coming up this what they do.

516
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: Have you heard about it?

517
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 2: I know you're such a huge Bears fan, Casey, I

518
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: know that I'm.

519
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 3: Not surprised about it, and my social calendar around.

520
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 2: It, around the Bears game. So as somebody that was

521
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: born and grew up in the North suburbs of Chicago.

522
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 4: This is a big weekend last weekend, just so that

523
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 4: you know, yeah, I cannot stop watching clips and highlights

524
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 4: on social media of that Bears Packers playoff game from last.

525
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: Weekend, everything about it, and I'm getting served now ads

526
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: to buy all sorts of Chicago Bears merch.

527
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 10: So then they got a new stadium that pay for him,

528
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 10: That's right. They gotta make some money somehow. We gotta

529
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 10: sell a lot of T shirts to make that money.

530
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 10: So there was the fourth and eight play in the

531
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 10: fourth quarter that Caleb Williams made that an incredible, amazing

532
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 10: throw and the Bears got the first down. We've seen

533
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 10: the clip played and played again. There's a second he's

534
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 10: like rolling to his left and he literally jumps up

535
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 10: and throws the ball. And so people have taken like

536
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 10: a freeze frame or a screenshot of that, and they've

537
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 10: overlaid the Michael Jordan Jumpman logo eerily similar.

538
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 2: Yes, and now all of a sudden, the unlicensed, an

539
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: unauthorized merch that is being produced about that with the

540
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: silhouette of Caleb Williams looking exactly like the Jordan Jumpman logo.

541
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: I'm here for all of it. I cannot wait until

542
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: Sunday evening when the Bears play. It's going to be

543
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: on NBC. Mike Tarika will be doing play. I play

544
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: for the game. It is my entire weekend. I cannot

545
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 2: cannot tell you how important this is. And I know

546
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: we're going on a little truck We're gonna Visit's changing,

547
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,959
Speaker 2: is it. We're gonna visit some family this weekend, and

548
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: that's gonna be great. But I am not responsible if

549
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: I embarrass myself or I embarrass you for the way

550
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 2: I act during that game in front of your family.

551
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 2: You thought this was a good idea to go visit family.

552
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: I told you the Bears were playing Sunday night. I

553
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 2: am not held responsible if you get embarrassed from my

554
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: behavior during that Chicago Bears game. Because I don't know

555
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: if you've noticed this, but I can get a little

556
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 2: bit loud when I'm watching my team's play.

557
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 3: Where is this game being Eric? What channel? What?

558
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: No, it's NBC. It's Sunday Night Football, Sunday Night Football.

559
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: But waiting all week for Sunday night NBC Mike Tarrico

560
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 2: doing play by play in Soldier Field, and they are

561
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 2: talking about that this could be one of the coldest

562
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 2: playoff games in NFL history, double digit below zero wind chills.

563
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 2: I've got a friend of mine, his son actually lives

564
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 2: in Indianapolis. He lives in Wisconsin. They're meeting in Chicago

565
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 2: and going to this game. And he's making me jealous

566
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 2: by telling me all about it, and they're gonna have

567
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: to bundle tickets. Are that's so fun?

568
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: I would much rather watch from the couch the warmness

569
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: of the family room.

570
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 2: Of course, she would say comfort rather than being surrounded

571
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 2: by sixty thousand other Bears fans and one of the

572
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: greatest sports runs we've seen in our lifetime. And how

573
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: fun this Bears team is.

574
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 3: The older I get, the more comfort means to me.

575
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 2: You know what they make jackets? They make actually hand

576
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 2: warmers and electric socks. I do own a pair of

577
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: electric socks and electric electric gloves. Yeah, you'd be warm

578
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: as can be. No, you want to do that instead,

579
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: you want to go to the Bears game. I bet

580
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: I could get his tickets right now on the sub hub.

581
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: I get his tickets on stuff. Right now, you're gonna

582
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: look it up, philibuster, the philibuster for just a second here,

583
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 2: and we're gonna see what the get in the door

584
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: price is.

585
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: So if they win this game, does that mean that

586
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 3: they're in the playoffs? They have?

587
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 11: This is like a must win, right, They are all

588
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 11: ready to playoffs, right, So if they win, it's a

589
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 11: must win because if you lose your out. So if

590
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 11: they win, if the Chicago Bears win this game Sunday,

591
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 11: then they go to the NFC Championship Game and then

592
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 11: whoever wins that.

593
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: Goes to the super Bowl, the Big Game, the Big Game.

594
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: So they've got to win this weekend and then next weekend,

595
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: and if they do that, then they are in the

596
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 2: super Bowl. And if you want to talk about me

597
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: being completely unbearable to be around the Chicago Bears, the

598
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears being in the super Bowl, I would be

599
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 2: just not a very fun person to be or woll

600
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: fun for me if you like the Chicago Bears, I'm

601
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: just going to be insufferable. That's the problem. It looks

602
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: like the cheapest I do, so the get in the

603
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: cheapest get in prices is going to be you know,

604
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: terrible seats in the end zone. Four hundred and twelve

605
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 2: dollars per ticket.

606
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's a little cheaper than the IU football ticket.

607
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 2: The National Championship game tickets the cheapest. There are like

608
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 2: three thousand and thirty five hundred to get in there. Look,

609
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: we're saving money. We don't have to go to the

610
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: IU National Championship game in Miami. We just drive to

611
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 2: Chicago and it's only four hundred bucks each. You knows nothing.

612
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: I'd much rather go to a college football game than

613
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: an NFL football game.

614
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: And even at those prices, well, even at those prices,

615
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: and you got to pay the fly all the way

616
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 2: down to Miami, Chicago, Chicago, that's a day trip. We

617
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 2: can just drive up to the game, drive home. Don't

618
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: even need a hotel that night.

619
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: Right right, I'm saving a little bit of difference in

620
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: the weather there.

621
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: I'm saving Inami, saving you so much money right now

622
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 2: by saying let's go to the Chicago Bears game on Sunday,

623
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: it could still happen.

624
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna watch it on TV, and you're gonna like

625
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: it that way, Okay.

626
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 2: I will like it. It'd be great. I'm gonna wear

627
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: my Bears jersey. It's the only time I have a

628
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: Bears jersey. The only time I ever wear it is

629
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: occasionally when the Bears are playing, I'll put the Bears

630
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 2: jersey in.

631
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 3: It doesn't jinx it. Are you superstitious at all anything

632
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 3: like that.

633
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: I'm not superstitious, you know what. I'm not a bit

634
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: superstition kind of guy. No, of course not. If I'm

635
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: wearing the jersey. I'm the twelfth man. I'm giving my

636
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: support for the team exactly how the Bear's supposed to win.

637
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: If Jim in Indianapolis isn't wearing his Brian Urlocker jersey

638
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: on Sunday during the game.

639
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: It's true.

640
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 2: It's true.

641
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll have to get you some new merch with the.

642
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: I do want with that. Caleb Williams silhouette and I've

643
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: seen one where it says excited. It says Iceman behind it,

644
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 2: because that's his nickname, the Iceman, because when he does

645
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 2: something really good he does he kind of brushes off

646
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: his shoulders like he's knocking the snow off his shoulders.

647
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: He's the Iceman.

648
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, Okay, And if they don't win this game,

649
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: are you still gonna want something with that.

650
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. So that's how iconic. I mean.

651
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: This Bears run has really been so much fun from

652
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 2: you know, the head coach taking off his shirt in

653
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 2: the in the in the locker room post game so

654
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: that the entire town could get free hot dogs, the

655
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 2: nasty words that he had to say about their Packers

656
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: head coach and the Packers are organization after the big

657
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 2: win last weekend. Caleb Williams. Look Caleb Williams two years ago.

658
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams was a fruity quarterback at USC who painted

659
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: his nails and drank macha. Now he's my fruity quarterback,

660
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 2: so that paints his nails and drinks macha. It's a

661
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: big difference. I'm all here for all the goofyness and

662
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 2: quirkyinas and Caleb Williams, he keeps winning, Just keep winning.

663
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: Maybe it is the Kendalla Casey Show. It's ninety three WYBC.

664
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: So we just spent a little time talking about the

665
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: Bears possibly moving to.

666
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 3: The East Chicago Bears to Northwest Indian.

667
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to keep talking about the Bears.

668
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: No, I want to talk about have you seen all

669
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: the videos coming out of South Bend.

670
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, all the snow.

671
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: They've got nine inches of snow two and a half

672
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: hours north.

673
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 3: What a difference it makes.

674
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: It's shocking, and is somebody who lived in South Bend

675
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: for twenty plus years. Hey, man, it's January in South Bend, Indiana.

676
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 2: That's what happened. You're gonna get a ton of lake

677
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 2: effects snow and it's not going to be a lot

678
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 2: of fun.

679
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 3: Lake effects snow is its own thing.

680
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: Man, unless you've lived through it for years, you don't

681
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: quite understand it.

682
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: Right, And I feel like not enough of the country

683
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: really is even aware of what lake effect snow is

684
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 2: because unless you live in in like you know, West

685
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: Michigan along the Lake there, South Bend, or there are

686
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: parts of Cleveland near Lake Early Erie, and then of

687
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: course Buffalo get it. So there's like three metros in

688
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: the country that have this thing called lake effect snow,

689
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 2: and the rest of the country doesn't, you know, probably

690
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 2: have any idea, you know what you're talking about. And man,

691
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 2: it's something.

692
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you've everine inches of snow.

693
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: If you've ever lived it, that lake effect snow, it's

694
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: no joke. It is serious business.

695
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 3: So I came across this reporter.

696
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: She works for ABC fifty seven out of South Bend, Indiana.

697
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 3: And she said that this is her first real snow

698
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 3: in South Bend. Listen, the struggle is real.

699
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 5: Not trying to be like that, but I cannot. I

700
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 5: just cannot process that people willingly live in these conditions.

701
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sorry.

702
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 5: I grew up in California, I went to school in Florida,

703
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 5: but this is I'm scared for my life out here,

704
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 5: like I might.

705
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 3: I might not make it home. Click click just a

706
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 3: few hours.

707
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: What.

708
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I I don't even know what.

709
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: Seth she's recording that video. She's busy clearing all the

710
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 2: snow off of her car that's parked in a parking lot.

711
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 2: How soft can you be?

712
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 3: Oh?

713
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 2: I lived in California and Florida my whole life, and

714
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 2: I can't take a little bit of cold and a

715
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: little bit of snow. I'll bring it back to the

716
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears, you know who They're playing in Chicago from

717
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, Southern California. Again. I'm sorry that we keep

718
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: bringing it back to Bears talk, but you shouldn't have

719
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 2: had me fill in for rob three days before the

720
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 2: biggest game of my life. So the Chicago Bears have

721
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 2: been practicing, of course all week no heaters on the sideline.

722
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, and well they're used to that cold weather.

723
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 2: The Los Angeles Rams have also been practicing outdoors in

724
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 2: southern California where it's sunny in eighty degrees. So I

725
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 2: think the Rams are going to be in. The Rams

726
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 2: from California going to be in for a big shock

727
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 2: this weekend, just like that reporter from California was in

728
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 2: South Bend.

729
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 1: The thing about that reporter, so she she's from California.

730
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: I take it she worked in Florida for a bit

731
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: and then got this job in South Bend where they

732
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: currently have nine inches of snow. And you got to

733
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: imagine during that interview process, somebody had to have asked her,

734
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: are you prepared for the winters of northern Indiana? And

735
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: she laid it on, Oh yeah, sure, I can handle adversity,

736
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: just like you did snowfall.

737
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 2: It's first like effect snow.

738
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 3: And she's like, get me out of here.

739
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 2: You'll say anything in a job interview to get the job.

740
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 2: Oh do you know how to program a nuclear submarine? Absolutely,

741
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 2: been doing it for years, no problem. Are you sure

742
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: coming from California. You can handle the heart winter snow,

743
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: no problem. It'll be easy. First bad snowfall and she's like,

744
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 2: I can't take it anymore.

745
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 3: Be out of here now. I can recall one snowstorm.

746
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 1: As we mentioned, we lived in South Bend for twenty

747
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: five years and have seen our fair share of heavy snow.

748
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: There was one year that the TV station actually sent

749
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: out the hummer to pick people up because the show

750
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: must go on. People still needed their news, and if

751
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: they couldn't get into the television station, they actually would

752
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: load everybody up in the hummer and bring them to

753
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: the television station. And they did have a bathroom with

754
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: a shower. People were spending the night at the TV station.

755
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's I don't want to say that's common,

756
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 2: but that would happen every three or four years. There

757
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 2: would be a snowfall that would be nasty enough where

758
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 2: they would send out, you know, the four wheel drive

759
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 2: news vehicles and they'd come to your house and they'd

760
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 2: pick you up and they'd bring you to the radio

761
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 2: and television station. And then, like you said, they built

762
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: that television and radio station specifically with showers in there

763
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: for instances, just for weather and yeah, I never had

764
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,959
Speaker 2: to do it, but friends of mine that worked there, Yeah,

765
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 2: they would spend two, three, four nights at the television station.

766
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 2: Because that's a twenty four to seven operation. Nobody's got

767
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 2: to be there, got to keep the lights on, got

768
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: to keep the public informed. And if we've got to

769
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: come to your house and get you so that you

770
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 2: can do that, that's what we're going to do.

771
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: So the girl in the video who's clearing the snow

772
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: off of her car, she's wearing this heavy duty parka

773
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: and it's got the TV station logo on it.

774
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 3: And when I was at the TV station, I was

775
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 3: gifted one of those coats, which, by the way, for those.

776
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: Exact moments when you are, you know, out in the elements,

777
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: and you know where that.

778
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 3: Coat was left.

779
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: That was a great coat. Where is it?

780
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 3: It was a great coat left in Florida.

781
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 2: Of all places. I'm not going to eat this anymore.
