1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: So there was some breaking news this morning about Don 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: Lemon being arrested in Los Angeles. We're going to get 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,479 Speaker 1: to that. We'll also get to Trump's announcement he's appointing 4 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: a new FED chair. But first, first, kids, we need 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: to have a talk YEP, the talk. 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 2: The elephant in the room. 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: When a woman says we need to talk, do you 8 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: sit up straight and listen? Or are you overcome with dread? No? 9 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 2: My first reaction is, oh God, now what? Now? 10 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: What? All right? Well? Twenty six has definitely started off 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: a little weird for the Kennel and Casey Show. Over 12 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: the past couple weeks, there has been one persistent question 13 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: that keeps percolating. It's been asked repeatedly on social media, 14 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: in the YouTube chat room, on the telephone, and the emails. 15 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: And I have been unable to address this question until now, 16 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,319 Speaker 1: and even today. I must select my words carefully. Per 17 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: the bosses. If you've noticed there's been something different about 18 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: the show for the past two weeks and the whole month. Actually, 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: you're correct. My friend has posted on his social media 20 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: accounts the answer to that persistent question and what's been 21 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: going on with him. The next obvious question when will 22 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: there be a resolution? I don't know, and I ask 23 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: every day. One thing I do know, when you take 24 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: a risk, we can add courageous to the list of 25 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: your virtues. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. This 26 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: question has made people salivate. Nope, I had nothing to 27 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: do with it. It's out of my control, far from it, 28 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: way above my pay grade. I don't know what's going 29 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: to happen. I don't know the end goal of either 30 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: party or their desires and abilities. There was a meme 31 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: going around yesterday, I thank you Chris Spangle for mybj No, 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: Mike Pence is not going to be filling in. The 33 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: chair is gone. 34 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: He did sit in this chair right here. 35 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: Your chair is gone also somewhere wondering if I truly 36 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: was sick at the beginning of the year, cons conspiracy 37 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: theories that I can't talk about even though I don't 38 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: want to. Yes, I was really ill. I still am. 39 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: I had a raging kidney infection and allsion on my 40 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: right kidney gross right. In fact, I have another doctor's 41 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: appointment today. Without spending too much time on it, I 42 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: want you to know it's actually been a little painful, 43 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: So don't be surprised if I'm out for a few days. 44 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with what's been going on 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: with my friend. So what's going to happen? What's the plan? 46 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm going to hope and pray 47 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: for the best. And as we know, hope is not 48 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,399 Speaker 1: an action. So I will continue to advocate for myself, 49 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: specifically medically, just as we have preached for you, our 50 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: wonderful listeners, to advocate for yourself. If you don't like 51 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: what's going on, I'm sorry. I guess you can ask 52 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: for a refund. I want to thank Jim, my awesome husband, 53 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: who has been here supporting me and helping me and 54 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: doing a bang up job. Also, I have to thank 55 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: Ethan Hatcher, who is no doubt enjoying his polypon music box. 56 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 2: Slee. 57 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: I want to thank you for your grace, your patience, 58 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 1: your understanding, and for listening.

And I think you finally war them down 66 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: and they agreed to let you read that statement on 67 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: the air here this morning. So again, kudos to you 68 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: for continuing to push for transparency and authenticity and that's 69 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: what we've gotten. Yes, I can attest to the fact 70 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 2: that you've been very sick by based on all the 71 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: doctor's offices. I've a company to tell you with me 72 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: you owed me. Yeah, okay, fine, You've been to plenty 73 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: of doctor's appointments and hospital visits with me, But you 74 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: got a bunch of card right, right, Three more doctors 75 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: visits and we get a free sub Fantastic. I feel 76 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 2: like a Laye on Seinfeld when she kept the dating 77 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: denim vest just because he had the punch card so 78 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: that she could get a free space sandwich. Yes, I 79 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: can attest to the fact that there's been a lot 80 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 2: of doctor's appointments lately and will continue to be, including 81 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: one doctor's appointment later today when we get off so here. 82 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: You don't tell people what's going on, they start filling 83 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: in the blanks and conspiracy theories pop up and you know, 84 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: it's like, what you want me to live stream when 85 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: I go to my appointment? 86 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 2: No, you don't. 87 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: Do you want to see the doctors? Know? 88 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: You really don't. But again, kudos to you for fighting 89 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: here internally at the station to have some form of transparency. 90 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: So hopefully a resolution will come. I don't know. Let's 91 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: move on and talk about Don Lemon, the former CNN 92 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: anchor arrested in Los Angeles. Now, this arrest, it relates 93 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: to the January eighteenth incident at that Minnesota church. He 94 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: had joined and filmed some pro immigration protesters who disrupted 95 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: that church service and that created a now national backlash. 96 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is literally breaking news. It's just come 97 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: out in the last little bit here, So we're trying 98 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 2: to get as much information and deliver it as accurately 99 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 2: as possible. But what we're looking at right now is 100 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 2: that he is going to be facing charges associated with 101 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 2: conspiracy to deprive rights and with the violation of the 102 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 2: Face Act OK that bars people from interfering by force 103 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 2: of someone's First Amendment rights. And in addition to this, 104 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights har Meet Dillon also 105 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 2: floated charging Lemon under the KU klux Klan Act. I 106 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 2: didn't even know that existed, but there is one. That 107 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: act makes it illegal to threaten, hurt, or intimidate people 108 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: to prevent them from exercising their civil rights. So basically 109 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: what happened is there was this church service that was 110 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: taking place. Don Lemon and some other anti ice protesters 111 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 2: interrupted the service and he live streamed it on his 112 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: social media platforms. There was a nervice going on. They's 113 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: barged in, they interrupted it, they started trying to interview 114 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: worshippers during the service going on. There was an incredible 115 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 2: amount of backlash the other people. It's being reported that 116 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: two to three of the other protesters that were with 117 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 2: Don Lemon have already been arrested for their role in 118 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: the incidents. And then Don Lemon was arrested in California. 119 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 2: So depending on the time zone, it was either late 120 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: last night or very early this morning. 121 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: Okay, now has Don Lemon he hasn't actually been He's 122 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: got to be arraigned. Still, correct, Yes, So he hasn't 123 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: been technically charged until he's been arraigned. Yes. 124 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: So we're being told, like for example, by the assistant 125 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: the assistant civil rights attorney Assistant Attorney General for Civil 126 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: Rights Harmique Dillon. We're getting some information from that person 127 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: about the type of charges that are expected to be 128 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: charged against him, but no one is technically charged with 129 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: anything until they're arraigned in a court of law. Don 130 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 2: Lemon was just arrested recently. He obviously hasn't had it 131 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: his arraignment yet, so some of this is just speculation 132 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: at this point. 133 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: All right, well, let's take a break. We're going to 134 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: continue on with the news of the day. It is 135 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: ninety three WIBC. The Indiana House has half Bill one 136 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: thousand and two and it is to address your rising 137 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: electricity costs. The bill now's going to move to the 138 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: Indiana send it the goal to make electricity more affordable, reliable, 139 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: and resilient for Hoosier's Electricity rates in Indiana rose over 140 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: seventeen percent from twenty four to twenty five, the average 141 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: increase about twenty eight dollars per month, and lawmakers is 142 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: saying that electricity is now a health and safety necessity, 143 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: especially for vulnerable residents, and they're going to do something 144 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: about it. 145 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is with stories like this, it's typical, unfortunately, 146 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: but there is looks good. What's being marketed, Right, here's 147 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: this story I'm going to tell you, and then here's reality. 148 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: The story the lawmakers are trying to say is, hey, 149 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 2: we don't trust utilities to behave unless we dangle some 150 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: treats or slap them on the wrist when they're being bad. 151 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: And honestly, that part isn't wrong. But the other part 152 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: of it is this is just political performance because this 153 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 2: builds a lot less about protecting huge hoosiers and more 154 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 2: about lawmakers trying to look heroic after decades of letting 155 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: utilities run wild with rate hikes. Because this is what 156 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: the lawmakers are telling it. Because again, there's going to 157 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: be this group that sets up that is going to 158 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 2: approve these rate hikes, and there's certain metrics that the 159 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 2: utility companies have to hit to be able to raise 160 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 2: these rates. But the utility companies are going to be 161 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 2: the ones that are setting the benchmarks for all of this. 162 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 2: So they call it performance based rate making, but it's 163 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 2: essentially saying, Okay, we'll let you raise rates, but only 164 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 2: if you pinky promise, pinky swear to make sure that 165 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 2: they're affordable and reliable for everybody. 166 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, so they've got this performance based rate making and 167 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: the key goals are affordability, reliability, and zillions. But as 168 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,599 Speaker 1: you mentioned, if they're the ones creating what the performance 169 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: benchmarks are, they can say, well, yeah, it's affordable. 170 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 2: Absolutely, we met our mark. You think they might just 171 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 2: it did awesome. I think they might just lower the 172 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: bar on those benchmarks a real a little bit. And 173 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: here's the real kicker. Utilities are still going to get 174 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: multi year guaranteed revenue plans, which is a dream. So look, 175 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 2: I'm a small business owner. Nobody's given me multi year 176 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 2: guaranteed revenue plans. I'd like to be part of that business. 177 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: Can I do that? These are legislators that are trying 178 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 2: to thread the needle and look tough on utilities without 179 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 2: doing anything that might potentially disrupt the utilities business model. 180 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: And keep in mind two of the largest lobbying groups 181 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 2: at the state House are gaming and energy. Yeah, and 182 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 2: it makes sense because those gaming and energy are heavily 183 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 2: regulated by the state. So they're going to send their 184 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 2: lobbyists in there to make those regulations as beneficial to 185 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: their customers and there the the utility owners as possible. 186 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: So Virginia residents, they're panicking. Not even a full month 187 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: into twenty twenty six, and their electricity bills are now 188 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: nearly tripling as they're being hit with new Democrat approved 189 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: energy rates. We've got one resident here saying she is 190 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: now paying six hundred dollars a month. 191 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 3: I just got my energy bill for the month Dominion 192 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 3: Energy out of Virginia. My bill has tripled. Like I 193 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 3: usually pay about two hundred bucks, you know, on a 194 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 3: regular three hundred on a high note, six and twenty 195 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 3: one bucks. 196 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: Ooh, that's more. 197 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 3: Than my car payment. What the actual hell is going on? 198 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? 199 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 2: Can you imagine being the new governor of Virginia. She's 200 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 2: been in office for a month now and this has 201 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 2: come and hit her in the face. And the utility 202 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 2: companies in DC and hard to believe that somebody's got 203 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: it worse than we do when it comes to utility companies, 204 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 2: But in northern Virginia that's certainly the case. And they're 205 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 2: blaming it on. They're saying, well, it's it's inflation, and 206 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: it's cold weather, and it's the data centers and the 207 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 2: energy demand and that's all that's going on. And lawmakers 208 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 2: are essentially telling their constituents, Yeah, you just you should 209 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: probably budget and prepare for this. We're not going to 210 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 2: do anything to change it, but you should. You should 211 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 2: budget and prepare. 212 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: For that, and you should expect your rates just to 213 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: keep escalating. We heard the governor say that energy and 214 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: utility bills are going to be the property tax issue 215 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 1: of this year. 216 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, we never finished the property tax issue. 217 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: You're thirty moving on to the. 218 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: Next problem, even though they didn't solve the first. 219 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 2: We fix one of these before you start heaping on 220 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: these new problems that are just going to start taking 221 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 2: you know, keep taking money out of our check checking accounts. 222 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: Senate Bill eighty eight passed the Indiana Senate yesterday. The 223 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: vote was thirty nine to nine, all no votes from Democrats. 224 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: And this bill is now going to move to the 225 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: Indiana House and it expands Indiana's Good Citizenship instruction in 226 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: public schools. What does this thing do? It requires public 227 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: colleges and universities to accept what they call classic Learning 228 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: tests for admissions. Now, this is the same as the 229 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: SAT or the Act. It's described as a rigorous alternative. 230 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: It focuses on reading, writing, and math, and it also 231 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: includes analysis of text from Plato, Frederick Douglas, and also 232 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: Isaac Newton. And it changes the good citizen instruction. Indiana 233 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: law already requires schools to teach thirteen citizenship principles, but 234 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: this bill will now add a few more. And the 235 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: concepts are based on the success sequence. So what is 236 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: the success sequence? 237 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: You know what, that's a great question. I don't know 238 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: that anybody can answer it right now, can they. 239 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: Well, it's supposed to give students a clearer pathway for 240 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: long term success and poverty avoidance. One of the things 241 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: that it says is it's trying to promote not having 242 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: children before marriage. 243 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's fine. I mean, look, this is the 244 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 2: type of thing. It almost I long for the days 245 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 2: when the legislators spent all of their time on the 246 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 2: state Sandwich, because at least they weren't doing damage. It 247 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 2: feels like every almost every bill that's coming out in 248 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 2: this legislative session is just more government overreach, more excessive regulation. Look, 249 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: these things do not we don't have to legislate morality 250 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 2: across every spectrum. So it just seems like this bill, 251 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: this is the type of thing that Democrats would do. 252 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 2: They would they want you to legislate their views into 253 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: the curriculum. This isn't the type of things that Republicans 254 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 2: should be doing. They should be staying out of this 255 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 2: area and concentrating on maybe bringing down property taxes, maybe 256 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 2: finding a way to lower years utility the costs. 257 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: Right, So, or just don't focus on anything. I mean, 258 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: we'd be better off half the time if they did 259 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: nothing right exactly. 260 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: It seems like the legislators, Please, we wouldn't be paid 261 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 2: when they're working. They're doing us damage. So again, go back, 262 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 2: concentrate on the state sandwich. Maybe I was wrong. I 263 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 2: was upset with legislators for wasting their time on the 264 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: state sandwich. I might have been wrong on that. Spend 265 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 2: all your time talking about state sandwiches, because then you're 266 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: not doing damage by overregulating them. 267 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: You're listening to ninety three WIBC. Donald Trump addressed the 268 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: claims that he appeared to fall asleep during a cabinet meeting. 269 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: He said he didn't fall asleep, He just closed his 270 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: eyes because the meeting was boring. 271 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, hey, can you blame him? Can you imagine 272 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: sitting in a presidential cabinet meeting? Yeah, I've got to 273 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: believe that that's pretty performative and boring, non interesting, tough 274 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 2: to stay awake during. 275 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: He said, it got pretty boring, no offense. He closed 276 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: his eyes because he wanted to get the hell out 277 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: of there. He doesn't sleep much, and that is often 278 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: reported about the long days that he does work, unlike 279 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: the previous president who is going to bed and shutting 280 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: things down at four pm taking naps. 281 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: So right after the early bird dinner, right after the 282 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 2: early bird dinner, Joe Biden force feeding himself a stake 283 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 2: at four thirty in the afternoon, it was bedtime. 284 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: So the December cabinet meeting lasted two hours and eighteen minutes. 285 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: The longest one he has had so far was three 286 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: hours and seventeen minutes. That was back in August. I 287 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: always thought, you know what meetings should be, thirty five 288 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: minutes or less. If you can't get it done in 289 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: that amount of time, then you're just repeating yourself. However, 290 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: I'm not running a country. 291 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. 292 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: Meetings are a little different, right the. 293 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: Meetings I used to run where I had everybody stand 294 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: around the conference room because I knew that would keep 295 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 2: everybody's energy up and we were only going to be 296 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 2: there fifteen minutes anyway, probably not applicable when it comes 297 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: to the cabinet of the United States of America. But 298 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 2: there are people out there that just look completely disingenuous, 299 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: that are dogging Donald Trump about, you know, closing his 300 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 2: eyes during this cabinet meeting. We know his work at 301 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: is well documented. Shoot, we see him shooting off tweets 302 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 2: and social media post at midnight, one o'clock, two in 303 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 2: the morning. I mean, he's been doing that for years 304 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 2: and years. Everybody knows this. It's really to sit here 305 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 2: and say, oh, look at you know, Donald Trump's too old. 306 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 2: He's falling asleep in the cabinet meetings. That's That's not 307 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: what Donald Trump is about. He's constantly there and constantly 308 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: working and constantly doing things into the late night hours 309 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: all the time. 310 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: He said that he loved his cabinet meetings, but he 311 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: found them dull, and he promised not to go around 312 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: the table this last cabinet meeting that just happened yesterday. 313 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: He skipped comments from Christy Nome, Pam Bondi, also Marco Rubio, 314 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: and also the meeting lasted not quite as long. It 315 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: was only an hour and twenty minutes. He did give 316 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: jd Vance a chance to speak, and here's what he said. 317 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 4: I just want to thank everybody for being a My 318 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 4: cabinet has been amazing. I like this much better than 319 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 4: going around for three hours. We'll pick on the ones. Pam, 320 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 4: you're doing great, we're all doing Jay Dave, you'd like 321 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 4: to say something you can? 322 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: Would you like your life? 323 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 4: He is, after all, the vice president. 324 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 2: It's okay, So I'm here for the free coffee. I 325 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: just say it's an honorous server with this group, and 326 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 2: we're doing a lot of good for the American people. 327 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 2: We're very proud of it. 328 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're very proud of the country. We're very proud 329 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 4: of you. 330 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: Okay, So you got to ask yourself what kind of 331 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: coffee they serve in there. 332 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 2: Oh, I bet it's very good coffee. I bet it's spectacular. 333 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 2: I bet it puts Starbucks to shame. But come on, 334 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 2: if you're if you're running meetings, can we please end 335 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 2: the trope that takes place in so many meetings where 336 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: you just go around the conference room and everybody has 337 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 2: to give their little report or spiel. It is the 338 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 2: word as somebody who's had to do that, it's it's 339 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 2: it's not beneficial, nobody gets anything out of it. It 340 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 2: makes the meeting last way too long. Everybody's sitting there 341 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 2: waiting for their turn and feeling like it's their turn 342 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 2: to perform. So I've got to speak and defend my 343 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 2: job and the work that I do here and that 344 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: it's so important. No, don't quit quit doing that. Pick 345 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 2: a couple of people who have something that's worth sharing 346 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 2: with the entire group and get with them before the meeting. 347 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 2: Go hey, could you talk for maybe five minutes about 348 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 2: this so everybody knows what you're doing, and stop the 349 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 2: meeting trope where you go around the entire conference room 350 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 2: and everybody speaks. Anytime that happens, you know you're going 351 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 2: to be there in that meeting, stuck in that meeting 352 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 2: for at least an hour, well minimum. 353 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: And there's going to be somebody in the meeting who 354 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: just wants to talk to hear themselves speak. They're not 355 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: actually adding anything beneficial to make progress, they just want 356 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: to talk. And then there's the meeting. And also when 357 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: you're waiting for your turn, are you listening to what 358 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: they're saying or are you just waiting for your turn? 359 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: Of course, justessing what you're going to say. 360 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 2: You're waiting for your turn and rehearsing your own speech. 361 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 2: That's exactly what you're doing when it's when you're waiting 362 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 2: for it to be your turn. 363 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: I always dislike the tell us something about yourself, share 364 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: with the group. 365 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 2: Meeting icebreakers, who just get us out of here. 366 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: I'm here for business. Let's move on. So Gavin Newsom 367 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: was picking on Donald Trump and said that, Okay, Grandpa Trump, 368 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: it's it's your board running the United States of America. 369 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: And I think no, he's just like, let's let's move 370 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: on to what's important. 371 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 2: Well, and again disingenuous, because a cabinet meeting isn't necessarily 372 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,959 Speaker 2: running United States of America. It's just another stinking meeting, 373 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 2: just like any other corporate meeting that somebody might be 374 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: stuck in the real world. The real work is done 375 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 2: outside of the meeting. 376 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: That's one thing that it does offer is a bit 377 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: of transparency or a look inside of what they're discussing 378 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: or what they want you to think their discussing. 379 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 2: If you're going to go around the table, everybody gets 380 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 2: sixty seconds rapid fire, hit me with something important and 381 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 2: then move on to Who's next. 382 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: Did you see Muffat McGraw, former Notre Dame women's basketball coach. 383 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: She is publicly calling for Donald Trump to be removed 384 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: from office. She said he's a fascist, and she blamed 385 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,239 Speaker 1: the Trump administration for creating an environment where law and 386 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: justice no longer apply equally. Her post came out four 387 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: days after what happened in Minneapolis. 388 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank goodness. Nothing I love of more than people 389 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 2: involved in the world of sports, coaches that sort of thing, 390 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 2: giving me their political opinions. So thank you Steve Kerr, 391 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 2: Thank you former San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Popovich. Thank 392 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 2: you Muffett McGraw for being the social justice warrior and 393 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: using your position in sports as leverage to get that 394 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 2: message out. 395 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: Every time I see Steve, that was sarcasm. 396 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 2: I'm sorry I might have not come across right that 397 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 2: with sarcasm. I'm not really thanking them. I really detest 398 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: it on every level. 399 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: Every time I see Steve Kerr looks like he's about 400 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: to cry. 401 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 2: You know, he's very upset. He's very concerned about it, 402 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 2: and none of it has to do with coaching the 403 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors. Look, I've I having lived in Northern 404 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 2: Indiana and worked in the media. I've had many, many 405 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 2: interactions with Muffett McGraw over the years, and she I'm 406 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 2: trying to figure out how I should say this. She 407 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 2: is exactly the type of person that you think she 408 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 2: is when she comes out with statements like she's. 409 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: A very successful basketball coach. You know, when we moved 410 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: to South Bend, you know, back when the earth was young, 411 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: she was one of the first people that I met. 412 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, I mean we worked at media there and 413 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 2: had a lot of interactions with her, and like I said, 414 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 2: the type of person that would use this platform to 415 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 2: do this and have that sort of position, that's exactly 416 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 2: the type of person she is in private as well. 417 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: So we turn our attention to Tom Homan. President Trump's 418 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: borders are he said, he sees a path forward to 419 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: de escalation in the Twin Cities as a cooperation. That's 420 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: what needs to happen. He struck a cooperative tone during 421 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: his press conference. And he is now the acting mediator 422 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: between Donald Trump and the leaders the elected officials, should 423 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: I say not always leading properly the elected officials in Minneapolis. 424 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 2: Let me tell you, I am I'm done with the 425 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 2: Democrats that have been coming after Ice in this I'm 426 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 2: done with the talking heads too. And here's why. Every 427 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 2: single one of them was dead silent while Joe Biden 428 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 2: let ten million legal immigrants come into the country the 429 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 2: last four years before that, not a one of them 430 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 2: said anything about the women and children that were being 431 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: sex traffick. None of them said anything about the two 432 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand Americans that lost their lives to 433 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 2: fentanyl overdoses during this process. None of them had anything 434 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 2: to say about that during Joe Biden's term except for 435 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 2: oh no, this is the most fit Joe Biden we've 436 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 2: ever seen in our lives. All they spent the entire 437 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 2: four years telling us how bright and sharp and Joe 438 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 2: hasn't lost a beat. They didn't say anything about all 439 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 2: the awful things that have happened in this country when 440 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 2: it comes to illegal immigration. So their opinions now with 441 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 2: the way that Trump is deciding to handle illegal immigration 442 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 2: are completely null and void because they had been silent 443 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 2: on it the last four years. 444 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: Tom Holman told protesters that he's going to enforce the 445 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: law just like he has with six different presidents. 446 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 5: Again, ISA is making this up. There enforcing laws and 447 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 5: acted by Congress and signed by President. The same laws 448 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 5: have been on the books for the last six presidents 449 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 5: I worked for. I started with the President Reagan and 450 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 5: ending with President Trump. Every administration we enforce the same lass. 451 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 5: If you don't like what ICE is doing, instead of 452 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,479 Speaker 5: protests in this building to protest Congress, some we want changes. 453 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 5: If you have your First Amendment rights, I support that 454 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 5: you have the right to protest. I'm just asking to 455 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 5: keep it peaceful. But threatening on law enforcement officers. Engaging 456 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 5: and impeding and obstruction and so is never okay, and 457 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 5: there will be zero tolerance. You interfere, impede, assault and 458 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 5: ICE officers, you will be arrested. 459 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: You have to keep in mind Tom Homan actually received 460 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: a medal from Barack Obama for his work, and it's unfortunate. 461 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: Sometimes you can't have a conversation with somebody who hates 462 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: you and who has been told to hate you. 463 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 2: That's a great example of what I was saying. Tom 464 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: Holmer was awarded a medal by Barack Obama. All of 465 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 2: these immigration problems hit their peak when Joe Biden was 466 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 2: in office. The last four years. They never said anything, 467 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 2: but it's par for the course, when it comes to 468 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 2: politicians and pundits that are on the left, similar, Hey, 469 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 2: they were very upset that Donald Trump decided Obama ran 470 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 2: or went down to Venezuela to capture President Maduro. Yet 471 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,479 Speaker 2: they said nothing when Barack Obama was killing people all 472 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 2: across the world with drones. I mean, nobody killed more 473 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 2: people with drones than Barack Obama, and the left and 474 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 2: the Democrats had nothing to say about it. 475 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, they were pretty quiet when that was happening. So 476 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: here's Representative Jeffries. He says that they intend to proceed 477 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: with impeachment proceedings if Christy Nome isn't fired. 478 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 6: I did reiterate in my conversation with speak at Johnson 479 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 6: that we intend to proceed with impeachment proceedings if Christy 480 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 6: Nome is not fired. Christineome is a complete and total embarrassment. 481 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 6: She's a disgrace. Oh and on top of all of that, 482 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 6: she's presided over the cold blooded killings of American citizens. 483 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: Okay, so what's he going to say about Alejandro Mayorcis right. 484 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 2: Right, the former former cabinet member for the under the 485 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: Biden administration. Exactly. Let illegals come in I mean again, 486 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: completely disingenuous, completely political theater. Because if the Democrats are 487 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 2: going to start impeachment proceedings against Christine Home, they have 488 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 2: no power. They don't have the votes in Congress. So 489 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 2: let me tell you what that means. That means them 490 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 2: essentially talking to a wall in the halls of Congress 491 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 2: and nothing ever coming up to a vote and nothing 492 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 2: being done. This is all completely performative. There's going to 493 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 2: be no impeachment of Christine Home because the Democrats don't 494 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 2: have enough people in power in Washington. 495 00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: It is ninety three WIBC. Good morning. The carmakers are 496 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: going into the banking business. You've got Ford and GM 497 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: and they have received conditional approval from federal regulators to 498 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: establish industrial banks. They can give out loans only in 499 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: the US. The banks are going to focus on auto 500 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: financing products nationwide, and it's going to be Ford and GM, 501 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: and they both have chartered banks in Utah. They set 502 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: those up twelve months ago, but now they're going to 503 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: go nationwide. It's going to allow the automakers to fund 504 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: loans using your deposits, and they say it's going to 505 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: be cheaper than their current borrowing methods. Of course it 506 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: will be because they're the bankers. 507 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And I think this is the automakers realizing, hey, 508 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 2: we let banks profit off of our customers by giving 509 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 2: them loans, how about we just do that ourselves. And 510 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 2: this has been going on in the retail space for 511 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 2: a long time. In fact, there were a number of 512 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 2: stories Victoria's Secret in the last five six seven years 513 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 2: filed for bankruptcy and a lot of information came out 514 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 2: in those bankruptcy filing and what we found out was 515 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 2: this is true for a lot of different retailers. Is 516 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 2: that And I'm summarizing here so you know, but for 517 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 2: the most part, Victoria's Secret didn't make any money selling 518 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 2: clothing in stores. They made all their money off of 519 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 2: issuing the Victoria's Secrets credit card and getting people to 520 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 2: sign up for it. So this is why whenever you 521 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 2: go into a retail establishment it's always like, well, you'll 522 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 2: get a twenty five percent discount if you sign up 523 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 2: for our credit card today. It's because they're not making 524 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 2: very much money off of the stuff they're selling to 525 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 2: you in the stores. All their real profits come by 526 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 2: creating that credit card, by getting to people to sign 527 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 2: up for it, put charges on it, and then hopefully 528 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 2: they don't pay their bill off every month, and then 529 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,959 Speaker 2: we get to charge them an incredible interest rate and 530 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 2: in exchange. This is the automotive industry doing something that 531 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 2: retail has been doing for ten or fifteen years now. 532 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 1: But don't kid yourself. They're going to say that these 533 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: banks could enhance the financing flexibility and also compete with 534 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: traditional banks, and that it could potentially benefit dealers, lenders 535 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: and consumers. But at the end of the day, who 536 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: it's going to benefit is the dealers. Right, I'm a lender. 537 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you, hey, tell you it's for you. 538 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 2: This is all consumer first. We're just doing this because 539 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 2: we love the American consumer and we want to give 540 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 2: them more option. No, they're doing this so they can 541 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 2: make more money, and they will start to make more 542 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 2: money because that's a big part of the entire financial 543 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 2: process when you go to buy a car is obviously 544 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 2: financing it. Banks have been getting the benefit in the 545 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 2: profits off of that financing Ford and GM looks like 546 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 2: they're going to try and take some of them profits 547 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 2: for themselves. 548 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about what's going on with Marco Rubio. 549 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: He testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He was 550 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: defending the Trump administration's military operation to oust former Venezuelan 551 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: president Nicholas Maduro. He described the operation as a targeted move, 552 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: and it was a major US security thread in the 553 00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: Western hemisphere, and that's why they did it. You've got 554 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: you've got Venezuelan's interim leaders currently it's going to be 555 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: operating and running back. 556 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 2: It's going to be shocking when I say this, but 557 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 2: whenever Marco Rubio is on c SPAN, it's turned into 558 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 2: must watch TV, like he's the He's the best at 559 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 2: handling these questions whenever he's talking in front of a 560 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 2: committee or subcommittee or Congress or anything like that, and 561 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 2: the Democrats try and play this gotcha game and get 562 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 2: him with all the questions. It is incredible his ability 563 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 2: to just turn those words around and put him. 564 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: Right back at him, right back on him. I had 565 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: said quite a while ago, a lot of people don't 566 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: like Marco Rubio. They think he's a rhino and such. 567 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: But I had said a while ago, as far as 568 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: cabinet members go, he has He's the one who has 569 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: grown the most. And it's visible. You can see it. 570 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 2: It's easily been the most easily been the most impressive 571 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 2: cabinet members so far under the Trump administration. And I 572 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 2: think when Trump came into office last year, the assumption was, oh, 573 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 2: Ja d Vance, he's vice president, He's going to be 574 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 2: the front runner, as you know, for the Republicans in 575 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. And I think that's still the case. 576 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: But that margin, that lead, that JD. Van Tad is 577 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: no longer as big Rubio. Every time you see him 578 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 2: in public, he just keeps becoming more and more impressive. 579 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: So we've got a Marco Rubio greatest hits, do it. 580 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: Here's some of the things he said yesterday. 581 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 7: Will you make a public commitment today to rule out 582 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 7: US regime change in Cuba? 583 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: Regime change? 584 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 2: Yes? 585 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 8: Oh no, I think we would love to see the 586 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 8: regime no change. 587 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: The President just mistook the two countries for each other. 588 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,959 Speaker 8: Correct, Yeah, he meant to say Greenland. But I think 589 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 8: we're all familiar with the presidents that have verbal stumbles. 590 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 8: We've had presidence like that before. So I made a 591 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 8: lot more than this one. 592 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 7: Boo bombing a capital, blockading a country, and removing elected officials. 593 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 8: We didn't remove an elected official we removed someone who 594 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 8: was not elected and it was actually an indicted drug 595 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 8: trafficker in the United States. 596 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: Are you the lead for US government on foreign policy? 597 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 8: No, the lead on US foreign policy is named Donald J. Trump, 598 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 8: the President of the United States. 599 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 7: We have not received any information on the board of PA. 600 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 7: Do you commit to informing us about what the heck 601 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 7: this is? Yeah, it's okay to piece. 602 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 2: What is your criteria for returning to a military option 603 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 2: and putting. 604 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 8: Bootstal Well, I don't recall the president's thing is going 605 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 8: to put troops in Venezuela. 606 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 6: Where did he say that? 607 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm asking you, what are your But that's what you said. 608 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 8: I didn't read. 609 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 2: The President has already said that he was ready to 610 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 2: put American troops in Venezuela. 611 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 8: No. I think the President said that he retains the 612 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 8: right as commander in chief to protect the United States 613 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 8: against any eminent threats. Maybe that involves troops, maybe that 614 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 8: devolves the airpower. We hope, but we don't anticipate that 615 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 8: being the case in Venezuela. 616 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: So Donald Trump said. 617 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 2: Just sixty seconds of bangers, just one after the other. 618 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 2: Who speaks on z span to Congress and you could 619 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 2: put together a highlight reel montage. It's awesome. 620 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: So Donald Trump said, Marco is going to go down 621 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: as the greatest Secretary of State in the history of 622 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: the United States. And he may be quite you know, 623 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: he's in the running, definitely in the top. So if 624 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: it came down to Rubio or Vance, who you going with, 625 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: that's a decision you might have to answer. 626 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 2: Part of this is, you know, we're just playing parlor 627 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 2: games here and speculating on what might happen and who 628 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 2: from the Republicans might run in twenty twenty eight. And 629 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 2: to their credit, both Rubio and Vance have come out 630 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 2: and said that, you know, Vance is the front runner 631 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 2: and the presumed nominee so far in the Republican primary process, 632 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 2: and Rubio would step aside for him. So this is 633 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 2: a lot of speculation, but it wouldn't surprise me if 634 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 2: Rubio ends up changing his mind if his stock keeps 635 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 2: rising at the rate it is right now. Because at 636 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 2: the rate it is right now, if he still keeps 637 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 2: going in that direction, he's going to be the most 638 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 2: popular politician in the entire country here pretty quick. 639 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: People had a lot of fun with the fat JD. 640 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: Vance meme Love the Fat jd Vance meme Mako. The 641 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio meme is even better because he gets dressed 642 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: up in all sorts of different costumes. 643 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 2: I saw one this week that had him, and of course, 644 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 2: if you don't know this meme, it's Marco Rubio that's 645 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 2: sitting on a couch somewhere and he's in the Oval office. 646 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: The real photo is him just wearing a suit and tie. 647 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 2: But then people have used AI to put him in 648 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 2: costumes in different situations, and there was one where he 649 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 2: was wearing a Venezuelan military uniform, like after we captured 650 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 2: Maduro's here's Marco Rubio preparing to be the president of Venezuela. 651 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 2: And the most recent one I saw this week was 652 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,719 Speaker 2: Marco Rubio wearing a dress and long hair and makeup, 653 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 2: and it said, here's Marco Rubio getting ready to replace 654 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 2: Christy Nome as Department of Homeland Security. 655 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: Now what I saw just yesterday and we talked about 656 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: this the other day.
