1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: It is with a heavy heart that I inform you

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: that today we lost one of our very own officer,

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: Brian Elliott. Officer Elliott has been with our department for

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: approximately two years. He has left the lasting impression and

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: legacy on not only our department, but the city. My

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers are with Brian, his family, and his wife, Aaron,

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: and all their loved ones. This is devastating loss for

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: our department and for our city.

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Beach Grove Chief of Police right there, hammer announcing

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: the death of one of his officers, Brian Elliott, dying

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: in a line of duty last night, thirty three years old,

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: responding to a domestic call of a gunshot wound and

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: another officer was also shot. We'll recover. I'm seeing things

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: online about how this officer has been released. But just

15
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: a sad, somber, just horrible day for law enforcement community.

16
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: And in Beach Grove, my hometown where I grew up,

17
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 3: where I went to school, My kids have gone to school,

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: My youngest graduates from there this upcoming spring. This is

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: a horrible reminder of what happened back in two thousand.

20
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: I mean, the similarities of what happened last night and

21
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: what happened in two thousand when Officer William Tony was

22
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: shot and killed by scumbag Benjamin Ritchie very very similar.

23
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: There was a situation where it appears to be somebody

24
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 3: from out of town shoots and kills a young officer,

25
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: somebody that wants to help their community, somebody that's not

26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: been on the force very long. Officer Elliott, I believe,

27
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: spent four years with the Sheriff's Department before making his

28
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: way to the Beechgrove Police Department, serving that community for

29
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: two years. And he was a Beechgrove guy, a Beach

30
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: Grove High School graduate, And in Beachgrove, everybody is one

31
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: phone call away. Everybody doesn't know everybody, but you can

32
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: get a hold of somebody within one phone call. If

33
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: I need to reach somebody I don't know, I'm willing

34
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: to bet I can make one phone call and somebody

35
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: knows who that person is. And despite all of the

36
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: differences that city has, despite all the jokes Beach Grove takes,

37
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: and look, I grew up there, I'm a self deprecating guy.

38
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: I make fun of myself. I make fun of the

39
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: fact that you know, sure, we have some Walmart fights

40
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: and people say what they want in social media. I

41
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: feel like, if you can't laugh at yourself, then you

42
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: need to get over it yourself. But here's what everybody

43
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: needs to understand about Beach Grove. Despite all that, this

44
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 3: is a town that really rallies around each other, the

45
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: og BG people, the folks that have been there for

46
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: a long time, the residents, not the out of towners.

47
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: You see it when that community comes together. When the

48
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: sports teams of the high school make a deep run

49
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 3: into the state finals or something, it becomes a Beech

50
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: Grove invasion. There's so much pride when the basketball team

51
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 3: won the state championship, so much pride. There was a

52
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: parade in town, and back in two thousand and even

53
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 3: back in nineteen ninety one when Thomas Clice, an officer

54
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: died in the police chase with the Beach Grove Police Department.

55
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: That city picks each other up more than anybody I've

56
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: ever seen in my life. So you can laugh, you

57
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: can make the jokes. I even talk about it when

58
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 3: I do my stand up comedy shows. But I'm telling

59
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: you right now, Beach Grove is going to rally around

60
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: this family. They're going to rally around this police department

61
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: and ultimately they're going to be okay, and Officer Elliott

62
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: will be remembered as a hero moving forward.

63
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: Nige, I like some of the I don't want to

64
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: call him stats, but just sort of notes and things

65
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: about Officer Elliott that he was a fan of that like,

66
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: I identify with this guy on a certain level.

67
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: He loved Metallica, he'd loved the Colts.

68
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: That's why I'm wearing this shirt today. That's okay. I

69
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 2: was wondering, and I just I can't imagine at thirty

70
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: three years old. It's just so young, leaving behind a

71
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: wife and a dog, and our thoughts and prayers out

72
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 2: to not only his family, but the law enforcement community

73
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: as a whole.

74
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: And you know what happened in Beech Grove last night.

75
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 4: Peace.

76
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: You didn't see bricks through window. You didn't see riots,

77
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: you didn't see people acting like fools. You saw a

78
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 3: community that was scared. There was a shelter in place

79
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 3: order for about a four hour window there crazy. But

80
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: Beach Grove didn't riot. They didn't act like dumbasses last night. No,

81
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: they handled their business with class. They're concerned for Officer

82
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: Elliott's family and again, everybody's one phone call away from

83
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 3: knowing somebody in Beech Grove. I spoke to a lot

84
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 3: of people that know the Elliot family, and I want

85
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 3: to talk about the family as a whole, because these

86
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: are Grovers. If you're a Beach Grove kid, so to speak,

87
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,119
Speaker 3: that matters in that community, and this was a Beach

88
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 3: Grove kid. His family did a lot of things in

89
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: the community. I spoke to a friend who had the

90
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 3: Elliot parents once babysit them for a while and young

91
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: Brian would come over and hang out and play with

92
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: the dog.

93
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 4: As a kid. A girl I went to high school with.

94
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 4: She was a student.

95
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: Teacher for a little while, had Officer Elliott in elementary

96
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 3: school and.

97
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: His goal his whole time, his dream was to become

98
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 2: a Beech Grove police officer.

99
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: Correct. Now the suspect. They chased this scumbag down and

100
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 3: brought him to justice after about four hours. There was

101
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: a very intensive manhunt last night in Beech Grove. It

102
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 3: was an armed and dangerous stay locked, stay in shelter

103
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 3: order and ultimately Kenneth Johnson was arrested after hiding like

104
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 3: a little coward in the laundry room in one of

105
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 3: the machines was inside, like the big dryer, like trying

106
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: to avoid police in a laundry room. A citizen tipped

107
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 3: off police and said, I think the guy is in here.

108
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: A citizen noticed something was looking a little with the

109
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 3: apartment complex laundry room. And after four hours, this scumbag

110
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 3: was brought to justice. And he has not officially been

111
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: charged yet. Now he's been booked on murder and attempted murder,

112
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: the murder of Officer Elliott, the attempted murder of another officer.

113
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 3: Now for this other officer, let me get this out here.

114
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: It's my understanding from the people that I've spoke with

115
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: my sources, this officer does not want any attention. This

116
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: officer wants everybody to know they're going to be okay.

117
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: But they do not want cameras. They do not want attention.

118
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: They want all the focus on Officer Elliott and his family.

119
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 4: Amazing.

120
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: So for those of you wondering what's going on with

121
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,679
Speaker 3: the other shooting victim, it's as simple as that. And look,

122
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 3: I know who it is, and I'm going to respect

123
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: the wishes of the officer and right now it needs

124
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: to be all about the family. A fallen officer Brian Elliott,

125
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: who will always be remembered a hero. Beech Grove City

126
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: Schools put out a statement, quote, we mourn BGHS graduate

127
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: Officer Brian Elliott and stand with BGPD counselors. Support staff

128
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: are available on site. Support staff are available on site.

129
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: Please have students reach out if they need support.

130
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: Just remember these officers, whether on a federal level, state level,

131
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: local level, they run towards danger, They run towards the gunshots,

132
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: they run towards the domestic disturbances.

133
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 3: Yes, and.

134
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 4: Officer Elliott is a.

135
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: Hero and his partner, and I thank God for them.

136
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: And the scumbag that is in custody Surprise. Surprise has

137
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 3: a long rap sheet thirty plus year history of being

138
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 3: an habitual pain in the ass, including fights with law

139
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: enforcement in the past. Again, it's heartbreaking for me. It's

140
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: just unfortunate that this community has to deal with that.

141
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 3: But Beach Grove is going to be all right. Beach

142
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: Grove's going to pick themself off the mat. They're going

143
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: to rally around this family. I know there's going to

144
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: be an official fundraiser for the family that will be

145
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 3: rolled out a little bit later on Oh good and

146
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: we'll bring that to you as soon as we get

147
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: the information. But again, an incredibly sad night last night

148
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 3: in my old stomping grounds of Beech Grove, Indiana. But

149
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 3: if anybody is going to pick themself off the mat,

150
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: it's that city right there.

151
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 5: Man.

152
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 3: I've got every bit of faith.

153
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 6: My grades were bad, I would like get these and seas.

154
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: I appeared to be doing good at my school life,

155
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: But if.

156
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 7: You would see me at home, it would have been

157
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 7: a completely different story.

158
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 4: I mean, it was just rough. Focusing on school when

159

Speaker 4: your mother, this is somebody you have to take care of.

160
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: It just got worse and worse and worse throughout the years.

161
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: There are students who need somebody.

162
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 8: They can trust someone and it could be the first

163
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,240

167
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 5: If something was going on at home, we would go

168
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 5: just stop buying somebody's office and talk to her.

169
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: Communities and Schools vouched for me when everyone else had

170
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: lost hope.

171

Speaker 3: in Greenwood. Cool Man went.

221
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: Down to Daytona this past weekend saw that so jealous

222
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: looked awesome you and your twenty one year old right, yes, Christopher, Yep.

223
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: We went down to the Daytona five hundred. First time

224
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 3: I've seen the race there. Now I've been to Daytona

225
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: a bunch of times, but I've never seen the race.

226
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 3: And great time. You can see the whole track. It's

227
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 3: designed differently than Indy. You know, Indy is just a big,

228
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: you know oval, you know, with long straightaways. Daytona it's

229
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: almost like a d almost where you can see everything.

230
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 4: Yep, No, I know.

231
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: And uh hell of a finish too, man, great finish.

232
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: Crash and you know, race to the line. And the

233
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: one thing that I took away from the race is

234
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 3: that I still think Indy is way more patriotic because

235
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 3: they build the Daytona five hundred as the Great American Race.

236
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 3: But I see more patriotism at the Indy five hundred.

237
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 4: Okay.

238
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: Now, granted it's you know, four hundred thousand people compared

239
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: to one hundred thousand people, but I didn't hear any

240
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: USA chants. I didn't see patriotic jorts, you know, things

241
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 3: like that.

242
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 11: Tew.

243
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 3: You gauge it right, right. The patriotic outfits, the custom jeorts,

244
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 3: like you'll see a sunburned fat guy at ims with

245
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: like the American flag painted on his body. You know.

246
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: It was more of a tame crowd at Daytona.

247
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: Interesting. Yeah, now I had to kill her flyover though.

248
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah the Thunderbirds man that was killer. You know

249
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 3: who else was really good? And I had never seen

250
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: this individual in concert, Miranda Lambert kill her yeah in

251
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: the pre race. Yeah, Like I never heard her live,

252
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 3: but she sounds exactly like her songs on the radio.

253
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: And I've never been more jealous. I woke up Saturday morning.

254
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: The first text I get at seven point thirty in

255
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: the morning is a picture of Hammer and his twenty

256
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: one year old son at the Atlanta Airport layover with

257
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: the layo over with two giant beers in their hand.

258
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: Like this bastard's trying to make me red with jealousy,

259
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: and it worked. That looked fun.

260
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 3: We were trying to live up to your expectations.

261
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 4: You did, because you've told me.

262
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 3: When I wake up, I want to see a picture

263
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 3: of you drinking on the plane. Well, it was a

264
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: short flight, so they didn't offer cocktails on the plane,

265
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 3: so the best I could do is get drunk.

266
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 4: In the airport. That was even better. But no, if

267
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 4: you're a sports fan, man, put that on your bucket list.

268
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 4: I've to go down there. It was eighty degrees, but

269
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 4: the wind was howling.

270
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 5: Man.

271
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: People had their hats knocked off. You know, chicks and skirts.

272
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: It was like Marilyn Monroe was blowing up everywhere. Yeah,

273
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: but no, it was like it.

274
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 4: Was like Marilyn Monroe.

275
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: It's not the kind of chicks you want to see

276
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: at a nude beach. When you're at a nude beach,

277
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: right right.

278
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: Like I've always said about Florida, there's always somebody fatter

279
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: at the beach. Well, when the wind kicks up at

280
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 3: the Daytona International Speedway, you don't always want to see

281
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 3: that skirt going up. I'm just gonna leave it at that.

282
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: It's the Hammer and Nigel Show.

283
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 4: The only way to bag a classy lady is to

284
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 4: give her two tickets to the gun show.

285

Speaker 11: dot com.

301
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 3: So, Guy, the biggest story in Indiana right now is

302
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: what happened in my hometown of Beech Grove, Indiana last night.

303
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: And the question I have for you is during the

304
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 3: four hours the manhunt, where nobody knew where this armed

305
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 3: and dangerous suspect was, and he was deemed armed and dangerous,

306
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: and there was a lock in shelter in place order

307
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 3: like the high school was locked down. People were told

308
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 3: not to go anywhere. If a citizen were to see

309
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: this guy and take a shot at him because they

310
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 3: feared for their own life, would that citizen then be

311
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 3: charged with something considering the suspect was deemed armed and dangerous.

312
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 11: Well, you know, it depends on what's called the totality

313
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 11: of the circumstances, and so it would really depend on

314
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 11: what the person was doing at the time. For instance,

315
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 11: if you just had heard of work the guy's armed

316
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 11: and dangerous, he's not threatening you, he's not trying to

317
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 11: hurt you, he's not displaying a weapon, pointing a weapon

318
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 11: at you, or anything along those lines. It'd be hard

319
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 11: to justify just shooting him. In other words, we're not

320
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 11: the police officers the authorized to use Ford simply to

321
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 11: apprehend suspect teemed to be dangerous. So if he threatened you,

322
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 11: if he was doing anything that made you fear curious

323
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 11: bodily injury or death, the fact that he was beamed

324
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 11: armed in dangerous, that you know the police had put

325
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 11: out a bulletin that he's armed in dangerous would certainly

326
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 11: factor in whether you had a reasonable belief you were

327
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 11: preventing serious bodily injury to you or someone else. It

328
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 11: would definitely be a factor. But I don't think just

329
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 11: seeing the guy matching the description and taking a shot

330
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 11: at him without him threatening you in some way would

331
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 11: be would be legal for a private citizen to.

332
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: Do because I feel like this would be such a

333
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 3: Marion County thing to do. I could see Ryan Meers

334
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 3: or some squarely you know judge at a lower level

335
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 3: making the citizen who saw this lunatic running into an

336
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 3: apartment complex laundry room, getting into one of the machines,

337
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 3: you know, running from the police, somebody shoots that guy

338
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: because they know he's already shot at least two police officers.

339
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 3: I could totally see some woke prosecutor some weasel judge

340
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: making that citizen the bad guy in the situation. Does

341
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 3: that make sense?

342
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, it makes perfect sense, And so I would definitely

343
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 11: want to be able to enunciate what he was doing

344
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 11: that threatened me or threatened someone else with that imminent harm,

345
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 11: rather than just a general sense that well, this is

346
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 11: a bad guy who shot someone else, so I'm going

347
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 11: to go ahead and shoot him. Interestingly enough, we do

348
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 11: have citizens arrests in Indiana that are legal, and all

349
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 11: you need is a belief that keelony has been committed

350
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 11: and probable cause to believe this person committed it. Then

351
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 11: as citizen can arrest a person under that circumstance, and

352
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 11: that we have a crime called pointing a firearm. But

353
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 11: one of the exceptions to the crime of pointing a

354
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 11: firearm is if you're justified in using reasonable force as

355
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 11: part of a citizen's arrest. So if I saw the guy,

356
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 11: could I draw down on him, point my gun at him,

357
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 11: tell him, you know, to lay out on the floor. Absolutely,

358
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 11: I could do that, But I'm not justified in using

359
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 11: deadly force unless otherwise justified, So he would have to

360
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 11: be threatening me in some way, and I'd have to

361
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 11: have that reasonable belief I'm preventing serious bodily injured guy.

362
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 2: Could you just talk a minute about law enforcement in

363
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: general and how I pointed out earlier that these guys,

364
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 2: these men and women run towards gunfire, They run towards disturbances,

365
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 2: which was what happened last night, a domestic disturbance, and

366
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,719
Speaker 2: some of the awful rhetoric rhetoric we've been hearing for

367
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: the past few months on a on a federal level,

368
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 2: a state level, a local level, when it comes to

369
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: law enforcement, and how much that factors in, and and

370
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 2: really just underappreciated. I feel like these guys are and

371
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: these men and women are underappreciated sometimes and last night

372
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: just uh, really just an awful tragedy and kind of

373
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 2: showcasing or what I'm talking about.

374
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 11: Absolutely, And you know all the hate that infesters online

375
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 11: and and it communicates through social media and otherwise, and

376
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 11: you know, people calling law enforcement all kinds of horrible names,

377
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 11: and in you really describing them as something subhuman. That's

378
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 11: got a factor in that, you know, that mentality that's

379
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 11: just so vicious out there. Man, here, these folks, even

380
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 11: in that environment, are are putting themselves in harm's way

381
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 11: for the protection of their fellow citizens and the defense

382
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 11: of their community. And hey, I know you're going to

383
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 11: have our our buddy rick On here in a little

384
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 11: bit to talk specifically about fop's perspective. But man, as

385
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 11: a private citizen, it just makes me appreciate those folks

386
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 11: all the more and really want to be able to

387
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 11: express both, you know, gratitude and a little love to

388
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 11: these folks whenever you can, just because they get so

389
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 11: much at the opposite out there on social media and otherwise.

390
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 3: Monday Gun Day with gun Guy Guy Relford Guy. We

391
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 3: got about two minutes left here, a lot of stuff

392
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 3: going on, but I do want to talk about something

393
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: else that IMPD is involved in and that's getting some

394
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: national recognition for their stance on firearms at protests.

395
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 11: Yeah, I was impressed by this. You know, there's a

396
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 11: website called Bearing Arms and this was started by Cam Edwards,

397
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 11: you see with NRAATV. I worked with him there and

398
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 11: he's established his website and Bearing Arms is a very

399
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 11: pro Second Amendment website and they create an article, multiple

400
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 11: articles every day, and they do a really nice job

401
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 11: with this. They put an article out saying IMPD gets

402
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 11: it right when it comes to guns at protests. And really,

403
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 11: you know, after we saw some really disappointing comments from

404
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 11: the Trump administration about basically implying there's no such thing

405
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 11: as peaceably carrying a gun at a protest in the

406
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 11: wake of Alex Pretty's shooting, the IMPD just did the

407
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 11: opposite and they put out a statement regarding some protests

408
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 11: that we're planned for this last weekend and this next

409
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 11: week in Indianapolis. IMPD put out a statement and they said,

410
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 11: the presence of guns at a protest is both not

411
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 11: a reason for it is most not a crime. Rather,

412
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 11: the presence of guns at a protest is both not

413
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 11: a crime and not a reason for law enforcement to intervene.

414
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 11: Our team recognizes the visible presence of firearms can make

415
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 11: some community members uncomfortable or concerned, but the IMPD recognizes

416
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 11: and respects the constitutional rights of all members of the community.

417
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 11: And so I love that. And Cam Edwards called him

418
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 11: out on our national level and two thumbs up to

419
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 11: IMPD for respecting not only First Amendment rights people can

420
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 11: protest if they want to, but being able to exercise

421
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 11: their Second Amendment rights at the same time.

422
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 3: Guy, we appreciate you taking the time on a Tuesday

423

441

00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 11: Yeah.

471
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 2: I mean, there's that famous photo of him in MLK

472
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: in Memphis at the motel just just a day before

473
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: King's assassination that kind of propelled and launched Jesse Jackson

474
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: into the stratosphere. A very famous photo. And yeah, eighty

475
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 2: four years old.

476
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 3: Today, Donald Trump put out a statement. Now I'm not

477
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 3: going to read all of this because it's long, but

478
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 3: it's everything you would expect from a Donald Trump statement. Quote,

479
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 3: the Reverend Jesse Jackson is dead at eighty four. I

480
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 3: knew him well long before becoming president. He was a

481
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 3: good man with lots of personality, grit, and street smarts.

482
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 3: He was very gregarious, someone who truly loved people, despite

483
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 3: the fact that I'm falsely and consistently called a racist

484
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 3: by scoundrels and lunatics on the radical left. Here it

485
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 3: is democrats all. It was always my pleasure to help

486
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 3: Jesse along the way. He goes on to say, Jesse

487
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 3: will be missed, Jesse and his family will be greatly missed.

488
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,239
Speaker 3: Black businesses, men and women should be appreciative of the

489
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: Reverend Jesse Jackson. Now there's a lot of trash talk

490
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 3: in there. There's some Obama ripping, there's more ripping of

491
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 3: the radical lefts. If you want to see it, just

492
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 3: follow Trump on his truth social or I'm sure you

493
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 3: can find it on Twitter.

494
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 2: Comedian Darryl Hammond all just I don't know if you're

495
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: familiar with him at all. Snl oh, Yeah, he did

496
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: just a flawless oppression of Jesse Jackson. I remember him

497
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 2: doing it on Bob and Tom back in the day

498
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 2: on one of their old CDs that they release, really

499
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: really good.

500
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: We were having a discussion via text a couple of

501
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 3: days ago about Steven A. Smith and his chances to

502
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 3: become a major player in the race for president in

503
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight, I said that I think he's going

504
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 3: to do really well with young black men, but I

505
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,479
Speaker 3: think he will struggle with the suburban white wine moms.

506
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 3: I don't think any women are going to gravitate towards

507
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 3: Stephen A. Smith. And last time I checked, the suburban

508
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 3: white women was a pretty big demo for the Dems.

509
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 2: What about normal, average, everyday, old school blue collar Democrats. Now,

510
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 2: I know you kind of divided it up there and

511
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 2: went into a couple different categories. But man, the things

512
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 2: that Stephen A. Smith talking had highest paid personality for

513
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: ESPN is saying right now on his podcast platform, not

514
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: on ESPN. This is something totally different. The things that

515
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 2: he is saying right now is kind of hearkening back

516
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: to the old school blue collar Democrats, the kinds of

517
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 2: things that Bill Maher.

518
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 4: You hear Bill Maher.

519
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: Say on his show in terms of anti woke, just

520
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: type progressive, crazy leftist policies and hammer, what have we

521
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: said since Donald Trump was elected president for the first time,

522
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: you can't laugh no at things like this anymore, whether

523
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: it be the rock running for president, which he's ever done,

524
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: or Oprah or blah blah blah. You know, the list

525
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: goes on and on. You can't laugh at Steven A.

526
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 2: Smith making a run for the DEM nominee in twenty

527
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: twenty eight.

528
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 3: Those celebrities that you mentioned, those big ones, Oprah and

529
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 3: the Rock, they want to be loved by everybody. They

530
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 3: don't want to talk about abortion. They don't want to

531
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 3: talk about bombing other countries because they might alienate somebody

532
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 3: in their audience. To his credit, Steven A. Smith is

533
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 3: willing to talk about pretty much anything. Here's a clip

534
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 3: that he did speaking about his visions for the country.

535
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 12: Make no mistake about it. We wouldn't have a border

536
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 12: crisis under my watch. Hell, no crime that exist in

537
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 12: the streets in New York. You wouldn't hear about me

538
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 12: saying the fund the police. We ain't the funding any police.

539
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 12: I'm calling nine to one one when there's a problem.

540
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 12: I know you're calling nine one one when there's a problem.

541
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 12: I'll be damned if I'm gonna have less police officers

542
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 12: out there, there's gonna be more.

543
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 4: That's me.

544
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 12: I would focus on a flourishing economy and making sure

545
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,239
Speaker 12: we did everything we could, because I believe when you

546
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 12: have something to lose, you know how to behave when

547
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 12: you have something to lose, you know how to behave.

548
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 12: If you have nothing, you have nothing to believe, nothing

549
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 12: to lose, and as a result, you're willing to tear

550
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 12: down anything, even if it's America, because you feel betrayed

551
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 12: by a country that's supposed to be looking out for

552
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 12: you and positioning you to thrive instead of wallow and

553
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 12: misery and suffering. So of course I would pay attention

554
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 12: to the economy. I would pay attention to all of

555
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 12: those things.

556
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: It is amazing to see guys like Steven A. Smith

557
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: there from ESPN try to distance himself from other dudes

558
00:31:55,240 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: like Mandani, the mayor of New York, the radical communist

559
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 2: Marxist mayor of New York. I mean he even mentioned

560
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: New York, I think in that clip by name, referencing

561
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: how much of a disaster it is.

562
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: And what Stephen A. Smith is proposing is what you

563
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 3: hear from Democrats like John Fetterman. Right now, Guys who

564
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 3: used to be viewed as Bill Clinton like Democrats now

565
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 3: are almost viewed almost as Republicans. Almost a Clinton Democrat

566
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 3: from you know, nineteen ninety two, nineteen ninety six is

567
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 3: now viewed as somebody that's not far left enough. And

568
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 3: now that's enough to get you popular on Blue Sky,

569
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 3: it's enough to get you popular on social media, can

570
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 3: it win you a general election? I think guys like

571
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 3: Stephen A. Smith and Fetterman they're playing the long game here.

572
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 3: They're not interested in being popular on Blue Sky. They're

573
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 3: interested in being popular when it comes to voters around

574
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 3: the country. Now, yeah, Fetterman hasn't stated that he's interested

575
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 3: in running for a national position yet, but I think

576
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 3: his line of thinking is big picture for the party.

577
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 3: Before we hit a break your knage, A new poll

578
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 3: asked this question, would you rather be a dummy who

579
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: looks intellectual or an intellectual who looks like a dummy?

580
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 3: So basically, would you rather be somebody that's, you know,

581
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: really smart and looks like a foot or do you

582
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 3: want to be David Muir of ABC, somebody with a

583
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 3: really good haircut, a really good jaw line, and dumber

584
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 3: than a sack of wet.

585
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 2: Much, dude, we live in America, I'm assuming the higher

586
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 2: percentage rate is the guy that is dumber than a

587
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: box of.

588
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 4: Rocks but looks like a Brad Pitt. Eighty eight percent

589
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 4: said they'd.

590
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 3: Rather look like a dummy.

591
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 4: Oh actually be intellectual?

592
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 2: Oh wow, faith in youanity has been restored, Hammer.

593
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 3: Because you know why botox exist, faceless exist. You could

594
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 3: get all kind of go cosmetic surgery, what goby exists.

595
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 3: If you're dumb, the chances of you making yourself super

596
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 3: smart and intellectual slim to none. If you're still dumb

597
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 3: at this point, you're probably gonna be dumb for the

598
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 3: rest of your life. But if you're fat now, you

599
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 3: could become thin. If you are somebody that's got, you know,

600
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 3: bad cheek bones, you could get good cheekbones. You could

601
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 3: be somebody that looks like John Goodman and you turn

602
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 3: into David Mure. But you can't be somebody that's the

603
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 3: smartest Pauly Shore that becomes Elon Musk. It doesn't work

604
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 3: that way, presents.

605
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:48,040

606
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 4: Is this anything?

607
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:51,920

Speaker 2: Florida Florida man.

614
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 3: Twenty six year old Florida man tried to steal a

615
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 3: landscaping van that was parked in the street. Smart He

616
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 3: climbed in the back and got locked inside of it.

617
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 3: He started screaming for help, and then the police arrived

618
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 3: to help get his rear into jail. Here's a witness.

619
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 13: I guess the gentleman was trying to steal his things,

620
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 13: but unfortunately he got locked in. He was saying, get

621
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 13: me out of here. I can't breathe. He would say, Poppy,

622
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 13: help because there was a you know, my shadies inside

623
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 13: the truck, and he could have just come out and

624
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,560

00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,200

638
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 4: I don't know what's.

639
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 2: What these landscaping vans look like. Are they vacuum sealed?

640
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: You can't breathe?

689
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,360

Speaker 10: can't say enough about our IMPD SWAT Team ISP, officers

781
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 10: from the state Police, detectives, crime technicians, everything who are

782
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 10: pulling together the use of technology, drones that were used

783
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 10: down there. It's just incredible to watch the professionalism of

784
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 10: our police officers down there. But we've got a big

785
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,439
Speaker 10: team that we pulled together through the FOP, and I'm

786
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 10: pleased to say there's nobody that does it better in

787
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 10: the nation than our Indiana in Indianapolis FOP. And we're

788
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,720
Speaker 10: just blessed by that. So we activate that full team.

789
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 10: That team is already responding into the city of Indianapolis

790
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 10: locally our FOP. We've got a strong team with our

791
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 10: vice president, several other board members that have already stood

792
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 10: up all kinds of resources, including the emergency trailer that

793
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 10: we deploy down there to support the officers, and we

794
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 10: start the planning process, while at the same time you've

795
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 10: got the parallel investigation going on.

796
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,720
Speaker 4: But it's got to be so fluid.

797
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: I mean, this was a man hunt juxtaposed with the

798
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 2: fact that you had a fallen officer and a severely

799
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 2: injured officer, and people have to keep their calm right.

800
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's very emotional, very volatile. But at the

801
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 2: same time, you have citizens that are out there that

802
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 2: are in danger, that are under lockdown that you have

803
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 2: to manage, and.

804
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 10: You know, and you've got the media that's helping to

805
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 10: tell the story convey the information. You know, a lot

806
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 10: of times we like to beat up on the media,

807
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 10: but you see their importance and the partnership that you

808
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 10: have in terms of just keeping the community informed and

809
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 10: then at the same time making sure that we this

810
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 10: hurting department and fellow officers have everything that they need

811
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 10: to get them through. And I know the chief had

812
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 10: other chiefs and in sheriffs and the superintendent.

813
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 4: Available to him.

814
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 10: It's just it's just it reminds you of the family.

815
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 10: But I can't say this. It reminds you of the

816
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 10: strength of Hoosier's Who's your hospitality and taking care of

817
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 10: one another as family and loving up on each other

818
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 10: in our time of need.

819
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 3: Rick we talked earlier, the official fundraiser has been announced.

820
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 3: We've shared that on our social media, Hammer and Nigel

821
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 3: Facebook and Twitter. It's on the website of the Central

822
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 3: Indiana Police Foundation. I hate that we have to have

823
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 3: these conversations, but it's important to point out this is

824
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 3: the official one because you don't want a scammer or

825
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 3: somebody else to do something and your money go waste it.

826
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 10: Yeah, and you know it's simple. Unfortunately you have to

827
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 10: do that, but you also want to direct the resources

828
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 10: fully where they need to go to get to the family. CIPF.

829
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 10: They're unlike many other fundraising organizations and things that are

830
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 10: out there, they're not taking a cut of that. They

831
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 10: provide that as a service to the family and our officers,

832
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 10: and one hundred percent of those donations are going to

833
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 10: go to the family.

834
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 3: Chief walk me through the last twenty four hour worse

835
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 3: in your life. You're the chief of police, it's your department.

836
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 3: You have to have a press conference where you're announcing

837
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 3: the worst thing imaginable. Have you had any sleep? How

838
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 3: many phone calls, how many text messages have you had

839
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 3: to do? What's been your job as the leader of

840
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 3: this unit who was still functioning.

841
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: It's been a whirlwind. I appreciate you asking again. I

842
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: have a great team around me and great officers that

843
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: have propped me up. No, you don't sleep, because you

844
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: start replaying, you start worrying about the other officers that

845
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 1: were there, your department, how you're going to get through.

846
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean we're a forty man department, and so we

847
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: know each other, We know each other's wives and kids,

848
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: We hang out, and so.

849
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 4: This hits them.

850
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 3: Everybody in that community. Yes, I said earlier, everybody in

851
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 3: Beech Grove is one phone call away. You might not

852
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 3: know everybody, but you know somebody that knows that person.

853
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: And it's been hundreds of text messages and phone calls

854
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: and chiefs from across the nation reaching out, and then

855
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: there just in the our local community. Chris, but I

856
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: don't want to name names, but everyone has just been

857
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: great because I will leave somebody out, but you know

858
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: our officers seeing them, and you know, I could give

859
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: you the company line about Brian right like he wanted

860
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: to be a Beach Grove cop. That's one hundred percent true.

861
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: He applied and he called me so many times, Chief,

862
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: when do you hire me? When you hire me, I

863
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: know I'm next on the list. When you're going to

864
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,959
Speaker 1: bring me on? Like he wanted it, and it wasn't

865
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: good enough just to be a beachcro police officer. He

866
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,760
Speaker 1: wanted to be the best Beach Row police officer. Everyone

867
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: says that he was pushing to lead the shift. He

868
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,919
Speaker 1: had just been there a couple of months to he'd

869
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,879
Speaker 1: come from late ship to lead in stats to the officers.

870
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: They loved hanging out with him, and he was president

871
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: of a cigar club. Didn't drink beer that much, but

872
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 1: he loved bourbon. He loved his cats. He played bass

873
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,240
Speaker 1: in a band like he was he was your neighbor.

874
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: But he had a calling to be a cop, to

875
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:58,240
Speaker 1: be a police officer.

876
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,479
Speaker 3: We're speaking with each Chief of Police for Beech Grove,

877
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 3: Michael Maurice and FOP President Rick Snyder. Rick, I feel

878
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 3: like we have to have these conversations from time to

879
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 3: time to just remind our audience that every day, when

880
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 3: one of these law enforcement officers wakes up, you have

881
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 3: no idea what's in front of you that day.

882
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, I was sharing last night and this morning again.

883
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 10: You know, we always talk about the stats when I'm

884
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 10: with you guys, but you know, here's where it rings true.

885
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 10: You see the visceral effects of what our officers are

886
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 10: up against. But just already in this year, we had

887
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 10: forty two officers who had been shot in the line

888
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 10: of duty in the first forty seven days of this year.

889
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 10: These two guys last night became forty three and forty four.

890
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 10: We had nine officers shot in seven zipperate ambush attacks.

891
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 10: We just added two more last night. And you know,

892
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 10: you're averaging an officer shot in the line of duty

893
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 10: once every twenty five to twenty six hours in this nation.

894
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 10: And I always ask people in your profession, if somebody

895
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 10: was being shot every twenty five to twenty six.

896
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 4: Hours, what would you do. Would you go to work

897
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:05,959
Speaker 4: the next day?

898
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 10: Heck no, But what do our officers do. They suit

899
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 10: up and they show up and they go back and

900
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 10: stand the line. And that's what makes them remarkable.

901
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 4: Chief.

902
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 3: I keep hearing this was an ambush attack. I know

903
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 3: it's an ongoing investigation, and maybe you can't talk about this,

904
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 3: but walk us through exactly what happened.

905
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can tell you what I know, and obviously

906
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: I can't go into full details, but they were they

907
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: weren't being your overly aggressive cops. That they had already

908
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: left ro call and started their day and they got

909
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: dispatched out to a domestic and they got there, which

910
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: means what, well, that's what they were trying to figure out.

911
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: But at the time they knew that it was a

912
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: male female disturbance, okay, between two people in an apartment.

913
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: And they get there, they knock, it's it begins and

914
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: they you know, they hear someone help, please, please come help,

915
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: and they.

916
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 2: They ran towards the help.

917
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, they ran.

918
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: It didn't hesitate, neither one of them. And I know

919
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: that the other officers is struggling right now, but you know,

920
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 1: both of them immediately immediately responded to that. There was

921
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 1: no hesitation, There was no oh what you know, what's

922
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: on the other side. They immediately went and you know,

923
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: we we won't know if, you know, if they saved

924
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: other lives, because obviously the suspect jumped out, you know,

925
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,479
Speaker 1: and took off, but I would say that they did,

926
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: and just because of what occurred, and but yeah, they

927
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: they didn't. They didn't hesitate, They went they went at it.

928
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 1: Like I know it's cliche and everyone says they run

929
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 1: towards it, but I saw it, and our officers did it.

930
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: And they did and then their shifties came and they

931
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: loaded up those officers and they transported them to the hospital.

932
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: They supervised state unsecene to try to control it. And

933
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: those officers loaded up their shipmate who had just been

934
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 1: shot and drove into the hospital. Like the stuff that

935
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 1: my officers did is just it just it's unbelievable. And

936
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm privileged to lead that department. It's a privilege. It's

937
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: not my right, it's a privilege. And every chief knows that,

938
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: any good one. And there's what keeps us going. There's

939
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: what problem me up.

940
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 3: Having a conversation with the chief of Police in Beach

941
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 3: Grove and the Beach Grove Police Department, Chief Michael Maurice

942
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 3: and Rick Snyder, President of the Fraternal Order of Police

943
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 3: Lodge eighty six. Chief. We were talking a little bit

944
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 3: off the air, how the City of Beach Grove they

945
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,919
Speaker 3: us got justice for what happened to Officer Tony back

946
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 3: in two thousand the execution of his assailant, and here

947
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 3: we go again. Talk a little bit about the community

948
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 3: that you serve rallying around when they see things like

949
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 3: this happen.

950
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, the community's been great, The people's been great.

951
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:21,919
Speaker 4: You're right.

952
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,879
Speaker 1: You know, we thought we closed that chapter. We did

953
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: close that chapter last year in twenty twenty five, and

954
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: we thought we were moving forward. We had the big celebration,

955
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: and here we are in February of twenty twenty six

956
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: and we are opening a new chapter going through that.

957
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 1: And you know, she'd probably really upset with me if

958
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,439
Speaker 1: I told you, But Dety and her family have been

959
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 1: with us, you know, the past twenty four hours. They're

960
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 1: meeting with Aaron.

961
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,720
Speaker 4: I was Dede being the widow of Tony.

962
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: Sorry, yes, and he kind of caught me off guard.

963
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: And it was absolutely just her strength and her family's strength.

964
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 1: It's just it's unbelievable. But the community has been great.

965
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: We have Officer Elliott's carr out in front of the

966
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: station and they're just people coming NonStop.

967
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 3: Hey, people are encouraged to go see that.

968
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: Go go pay your respects, grieve the way you need

969
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: to grieve, because we're gonna grieve as well the way

970
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: we need to and so we know that people need

971
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: that release. It's been overwhelming, seriously, and when I say that,

972
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: just the outpouring of the Mayor's office has been great.

973
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: Of course, Mayor Kaufman has just been awesome, been there

974
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: the whole time, and his whole staff, the clerk, Treasure

975
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: Smith Stra. I mean, everyone is just doing so much

976
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 1: and we appreciate it, and I don't know how we're

977
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: ever going to thank everybody, but it's seriously a team

978
00:54:56,200 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 1: that keeps us propped up, and that's what It's been amazing.

979
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 3: And it's my understanding that in the next couple of days,

980
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 3: maybe even as early as tomorrow, we'll get funeral plans

981
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 3: and information for the officer Rick. Before we wrap up

982
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 3: this segment here, can you give us a prayer. You're

983
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 3: also the chaplain for the Fraternal Order of Police in

984
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 3: addition to being the man that serves Lodge eighty six

985
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 3: here in Indy.

986
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 2: Your prayer last night on Life TV was it shook me,

987
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 2: it touched me, and that's unbelievable.

988
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:28,879
Speaker 4: That's the Lord. Yeah.

989
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 10: You know I heard that you had some comments at

990
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 10: the beginning of this where you expressed some anger, and

991
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 10: some thoughts about the suspect and all of this, I

992
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 10: did you know. What I want to tell you is

993
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 10: that's perfectly normal. And our God actually talks about it

994
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 10: as well. And you know in the Bible, this is

995
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 10: what he says. And he tells us, he says, but

996
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 10: do not avenge for yourself, he says, but rather give

997
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,240
Speaker 10: place to wrath. So he acknowledges that there's a righteous anger.

998
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 10: He says, give place to it, but he says, give

999
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 10: place to it through him. And he's as vengeance is mine,

1000
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 10: I will repay, says the Lord. So take stock in that.

1001
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 10: But there's one other thing that he says. It's in

1002
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 10: the Book of Romans. He says that he puts government

1003
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 10: officials in place, law enforcement officers in place, to help

1004
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 10: bring his wrath when needed upon the wicked. And what

1005
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:22,360
Speaker 10: he says there is that God's ministers is what the

1006
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 10: Bible calls them, But our law enforcement officers, they are

1007
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 10: an avenger to execute wrath on those who practice evil.

1008
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 10: And he reminds us that they do not carry the

1009
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 10: sword in vain. So there are times where our officers

1010
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 10: righteously have to execute vengeance upon wrath upon the Lord's

1011
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 10: behalf and what He's called us to do, and that's

1012
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 10: the key point. So don't be bothered by having that anger.

1013
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 10: Just we place it in the right place, which is

1014
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 10: back in the hands of God. So let's pray real

1015
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 10: quick and we'll do that.

1016
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: Before you do that, let me Yeah, this is sent

1017
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: to me, and I know Rick's going to pray Aaron,

1018
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: but this is sent to me by one of my

1019
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: good buddies, and it's Psal. I'm thirty four eighteen, and

1020
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,720
Speaker 1: it's for all those out there that are hurting, including

1021
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: our officers, and it just says the Lord is close

1022
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed

1023
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: in spirit. So know that, as Rick praise here, he's

1024
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: with us. So that's right. And God tells us, do

1025
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not

1026
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: be dismayed, for I am your God. And he goes

1027
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 1: on to tell us I will strengthen you and help you,

1028
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: and I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

1029
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: So Father, we just give you thanks for that, for

1030
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: your word and for your great promises. I give you

1031
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 1: thanks for this Beech Grove Police Department, the officers that

1032
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: are faithfully serving, for you also this community, this group

1033
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: of neighbors who have come together, who love you, Lord

1034
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: and also love each other. We thank you for the

1035
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: life of Officer Brian Elliott and all that he represented.

1036
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 11: Father.

1037
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 10: He carried out the replica of the ultimate sacrifice that

1038
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 10: your son Jesus the Christ portrayed for us and did

1039
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 10: for us on the cross, So we do not take

1040
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 10: that lightly. It's that same Lord, Jesus of Nazareth who said,

1041
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 10: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children

1042
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 10: of God. So we commend his spirit to you. But

1043
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 10: we also give you thanks for this officer that's recovering,

1044
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 10: and we just pray that your healing nature be upon

1045
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 10: this community, this department. Quite frankly, Lord, our nation, we

1046
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 10: need you now and we thank you, and I pray

1047
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 10: in the name of Christ Jesus, our Prince of Peace. Amen.

1048
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 3: Amen, Amen, Amen, Thank you, gentlemen, Thank you so much.

1056
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 3: God bless your officers, and we appreciate you.

1057
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: Thank you.

1058
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 4: My name is Nigel Jason Hammer.

1059
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 2: Right over there, a very powerful hour in radio as

1060
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 2: we are all coming to grips with the loss of

1061
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 2: life and law enforcement. Beach Grove police officer losing his

1062
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 2: life in the line of duty. Hammer, and we had

1063
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 2: the police chief of Beach Grove and the Rick Snyder,

1064
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 2: the FOP president and national chaplain in here. You're from

1065
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 2: Beach Grove. You can speak to the community there and

1066
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 2: how everybody is coming together.

1067
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 3: It's what we do in that community. Now. I grew

1068
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 3: up there, went to high school, you know, played sports.

1069
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 3: I was class president, involved in all the activities. My

1070
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 3: oldest son was class president, did all the activities, played

1071
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 3: ball there. My youngest son will be walking across the

1072
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 3: stage this spring as a graduate. And I will tell

1073
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 3: you this about this community. They take a lot of

1074
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 3: crap from people. Beach Grove is the subject to a

1075
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 3: lot of jokes, right, Walmart fights and this and that. Okay,

1076
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 3: right right, we hear it. Okay, some of it's warranted.

1077
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 3: I said earlier. If you can't laugh at yourself, then

1078
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 3: you need to get over yourself. But when something happens

1079
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 3: in that community, the people that live there, the og

1080
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 3: B g ors as I call them, they rally. And

1081
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter if you're a Republican, it doesn't matter

1082
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 3: if you're a Democrat. Beech Groves kind of a quirky

1083
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 3: town where there's both man. They come together. They have

1084
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 3: a sense of community, they have a sense of pride

1085
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 3: in coming together to help somebody, and that's what they're

1086
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 3: going to do. They've done this before. You go back

1087
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 3: to the early nineties, Officer Clyde died in a police

1088
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 3: chase chasing a subject in a car accident. Then in

1089
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 3: two thousand, Officer Tony shot in the line of duty.

1090
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 2: It's been rough for Beachgrove Police, especially for as small

1091
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 2: as they are.

1092
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 3: Right and again, everybody in that town, it feels like

1093
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 3: you know everybody, even if you don't. And I've said

1094
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 3: this a couple times, but it's the truth. Everybody in

1095
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 3: Beech Grove is one phone call away. If you don't

1096
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 3: know somebody, I promised you know somebody who does. And

1097
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 3: last night. We kind of thought that this would be

1098
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 3: the case, but it just sinks your heart when you

1099
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 3: see the Chief of Police, Michael Maurice, walked to that podium,

1100
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 3: walk to that microphone and have to make this announcement.

1101
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: It is with a heavy heart that I inform you

1102
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: that today we lost one of our very own off,

1103
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 1: Sir Brian Elliott Off. Sir Elliott has been with our

1104
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: department for approximately two years. He has left the lasting

1105
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: impression and legacy not only our department, but the city.

1106
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 1: My thoughts and prayers are with Brian, his family and

1107
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: his wife Aaron, and all their loved ones. This is

1108
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: devastating loss for our department and for our city.

1109
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 3: And we just had again the Chief in here along

1110
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 3: with the FOP president. Yeah, you could hear it in

1111
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 3: their voice how much this is affecting them, Like this

1112
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 3: was not an act. Those tears are real, The heartache

1113
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 3: is real, and this community is reeling in Beech Grove.

1114
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 2: Not only the community coming together to support, but also

1115
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 2: other precincts, other districts, other towns and cities coming to

1116
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 2: help out their Beech Grove brethren in law enforcement because

1117
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 2: they are dealing with something.

1118
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 4: That is almost. I mean they have to still go out.

1119
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 2: And protect and serve correct after one of their brothers

1120
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 2: has died in the line of duty.

1121
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 3: I had an officer from a different department texted me

1122
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 3: last night and say things are so much better now

1123
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 3: than what they were years ago because counseling is available now.

1124
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 3: There's a system set up in place where other departments

1125
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 3: are happy to help out fill shifts if needed. You

1126
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 3: know that buddy system, if you will. But the counseling

1127
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 3: has been huge because that hasn't always been available for

1128
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 3: some of these law enforcement officers.

1129
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 2: Kick the stigma right right, there's nothing wrong with getting

1130
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 2: help in getting counseling.

1131
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 3: Coming up at five point thirty three, the mayor of Beachgrove,

1132
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 3: Mayor Kaufman, is going to join us. We'll talk about

1133
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 3: what the city plans to do to honor the fallen

1134
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 3: officer from the Beachgrove Police Department again, Officer Elliott losing

1135
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 3: his life in the line of duty last night. The

1136
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 3: other police officer shot released from the hospital. Now going

1137
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 3: to be okay, And as I said earlier, it's my

1138
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 3: understanding this is an officer that does not want the

1139
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 3: name out there, no attention doesn't want any cameras around

1140
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 3: this officer wants all of the attention to go to

1141
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 3: the family of Officer Elliott. And I respect that President

1142
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 3: Trump confirms he will give his State of the Union

1143
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 3: next week, even if the government shut down continues.

1144
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 2: Nige good. That way, he could shove it in all

1145
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 2: their faces. You know what I mean. Well, the government

1146
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 2: is shut down solely and squarely because of these people

1147
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 2: sitting right here in front of me. That's the angle.

1148
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 2: Those are the optics that he's going to be using.

1149
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 3: And if the Democrats show up, which again government shut down,

1150
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 3: maybe they will, maybe they don't. Senator Fetterman, who does

1151
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 3: have a D next to his name from Pennsylvania, the

1152
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 3: Democrat John Fetterman, He's hoping it's not a bleep show

1153
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 3: of protests with the stupid little paddles and the walkouts.

1154
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 3: Because we said this earlier, Fetterman's playing the long game

1155
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 3: for the party. He knows right now, unless the Democrats

1156
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 3: do something stupid, they're probably going to win the House

1157
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 3: and maybe a few sentence seats. We don't know, but

1158
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 3: the House looks like it's likely unless they do something

1159
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 3: stupid and make an ass of themselves while the government

1160
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 3: shut down.

1161
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 7: I do plan to attend, and I hope that this

1162
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 7: year they don't put up those silly paddles and all

1163
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 7: those kinds of weird protests that that's like, you don't

1164
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 7: have to agree or agree with whatever you're going to hear.

1165
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 7: But you know, like last year, I mean, it just

1166
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 7: made us look like like children, and then you know,

1167
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 7: show up, not have some dignity and just you know,

1168
01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 7: we can agree or disagree and not call people or

1169
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 7: behave in such ways like that.

1170
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, excuse me.

1171
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 2: And then Pelosi's not going to be there to rip

1172
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 2: up the speech, which is a disappointment.

1173
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 3: Right, she won't be on camera because she has no

1174
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 3: position of power now, so there's no reason for her

1175
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 3: to be there. She'll probably be at home doing some

1176
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 3: insider trading, so it'll be fine. Sure, Is there anything

1177
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 3: better than watching AOC get compared to Miss teen South

1178
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 3: Carolina from two thousand and seven? Is there anything better

1179
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 3: than that AOC went to Munich and it was a disaster.

1180
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 3: This was her chance to be on a world stage,

1181
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 3: maybe get some momentum for a run to the White House,

1182
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 3: because there's a lot of people here that see her

1183
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 3: as a fundraising machine. But let's see how she is

1184
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 3: in foreign policy. Narrator not very good. AOC just getting

1185
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 3: roasted for claiming that the US can't act against Venezuela

1186
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 3: because it's below the equator.

1187
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 5: You know, we look at what happened in Venezuela, for example.

1188
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 5: It is not a is It is not a remark

1189
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 5: on who Maduro was as a leader. He canceled elections,

1190
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 5: he was an anti democratic leader. That doesn't mean that

1191
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 5: we can kidnap ahead of state and engage in acts

1192
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 5: of war just because the nation is below the equator.

1193
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 3: Narrator. Venezuela is fully north of the equator. Okay, so

1194
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,959
Speaker 3: she doesn't know geography, she got it wrong, fine, all right,

1195
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 3: But then this answer here about whether or not the

1196
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 3: United States should defend Taiwan against China. This is an

1197
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 3: answer where even Kamala Harris would go, damn, that's a

1198
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 3: word salad.

1199
01:07:54,800 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 5: You know, I think that this is such a you know,

1200
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 5: I think that.

1201
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 4: This is a.

1202
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 5: This is of course, a very long standing policy of

1203
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 5: the United States. Sure, and I think what we are

1204
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:18,680
Speaker 5: hoping for is that we want to make sure that

1205
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 5: we never get to that point, and we want to

1206
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 5: make sure that we are moving in all of our

1207
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 5: economic research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation.

1208
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 5: And for that question to even.

1209
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 3: Arise again, Kamala Harris said, huh, what, I think it

1210
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,599
Speaker 3: was Clay Travis that put this out earlier today.

1211
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 4: What did I just listen to.

1212
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 3: Let's compare and contrast AOC with the iconic answer from

1213
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 3: the two thousand and seven Miss teen USA pageant from

1214
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 3: the South Carolina contestant, would and should.

1215
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 5: The US actually commit US troops to defend Taiwan if

1216
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 5: China were to move?

1217
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 13: You know, I think that I personally believe that US

1218
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 13: Americans are unable.

1219
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 1: To do so.

1220
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 5: This is such a you know, I think that people.

1221
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 4: Out there in our nation and it don't have that.

1222
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 5: And I believe that our education like such as in

1223
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 5: South Africa and direct everywhere like such.

1224
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 3: As and this is a.

1225
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:37,640
Speaker 5: This is of course a very long standing lord policy

1226
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 5: of the United States, and the US should help the

1227
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 5: US or should help South Africa, and should.

1228
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 4: Help direct in the Asian countries.

1229
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 5: In our global positions to avoid any such confrontation. A

1230
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 5: For that question to even arrive, I.

1231
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 2: Mean, all she had to say was that, yeah, look,

1232
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:58,600
Speaker 2: it's still a one China policy. If we want to

1233
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 2: change that, then we could discuss it. How hard is that?

1234
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:06,839
Speaker 2: I get paid a meager salary to sit in opine

1235
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:08,559
Speaker 2: on the radio every day, and even I knew that

1236
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 2: AOC one China policy, that's all you had to say, Yeah,

1237
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 2: it's still a one ginapology.

1238
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 3: Honestly, we would have taken a yes or no answer

1239

Speaker 2: lines from Robert Duvall.

1266
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 3: Made everything he was in better. Not every movie he

1267
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:39,959
Speaker 3: was in was great, but he was great and everything

1268
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 3: that he was in. Uh you could make the case

1269
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 3: that prior to his passing, he's on that short list

1270
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 3: of some of the best living actors, right, Jack Nicholson,

1271
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 3: you probably put al Pacino up there, and it's a

1272
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:01,719
Speaker 3: short list. Robert duval never really had the headline power

1273
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 3: that some of those other folks had, but so good,

1274
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 3: like a scene stealer and everything that he was in.

1275
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 2: Go watch an underrated movie called The Paper with Michael

Speaker 2: Keaton and Glenn Close and Randy Quaid and Marissa Tomay.

1277
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 2: It was so good, and I believe it was he

1278
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:29,960
Speaker 2: was directed by uh Ron Howard. Really underrated movie back

1279
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 2: I believe in the mid nineties, and he was He

1280
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 2: played Bernie, who was kind of like the editor there

1281
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 2: at the at the newspaper roll when newspapers were still relevant.

1282
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 11: Right.

1283
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 4: Love that movie and.

Speaker 3: If you saw the end of the Daytona five hundred.

1285
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 3: The way that that played out. If anybody you know

1286
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 3: said Rubin is racing, they probably stole that line from

01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 3: his hairy character in Days of Thunder all over the track.

1288
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,360

1295
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 2: of check in kiosks during some sort of violent airport

1296
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 2: rampage in Hong Kong. Got a quick clip of the

1297
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 2: destruction here. Oh geez, yeah, I've been there.

1298
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 4: You know.

1299
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 2: It's at least I haven't acted out on it. But boy,

1300
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:49,599
Speaker 2: if I wanted to destroy a kiosk or two back

1301
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 2: in my day when things were going my way? Are

1302
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 2: you okay with this angry British tourist in Hong Kong

1303
01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 2: going on this rampage?

1304
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 3: No, because I'm over at the airport. Oh yeah, I

1305
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 3: am over idiots at the airport. And when I put

1306
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 3: this category out there, I'm not just talking about the

1307
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 3: kind of guy that would destroy a kiosk, or somebody

1308
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:16,720
Speaker 3: making an ass of themselves at the TSA. This goes

1309
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 3: through the people that have made it on board, the

1310
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 3: people peeing in the aisle, or the moron that takes forever,

1311
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 3: and I mean forever to get one little bag out

1312
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 3: of the overhead compartment and finally get his carcass off

1313
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 3: the plane, or like the guy that I had the

1314
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 3: privilege of sitting in front of from our layover from

1315
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 3: Daytona to Atlanta. I saw some loud dude and his

1316
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:46,639
Speaker 3: obnoxious wife that would not shut the heck up, and

1317
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 3: they were so loud. Now, let me tell you something,

1318
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 3: My hearing isn't great. Like Allison's laughing. Surety knows. I

1319
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:56,720
Speaker 3: can't hear anything if I think somebody's loud. And I'm

1320
01:14:56,760 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 3: also wearing headphones watching like you know, Netflix and Hulu

1321
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 3: and Paramount on my phone, you are obnoxious in loud phone.

1322
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 3: They were just having a conversation, having a conversation.

1323
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:10,679
Speaker 4: Oh that's just Oh, I don't know what is worse.

1324
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:11,880
Speaker 4: This is how it was.

1325
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 3: And I'm not even exaggerating. This is the level. Hey,

1326
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 3: what do you want to do when we get to

1327
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 3: the airport, do you want to get something to eat?

1328
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:21,519

1336
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:43,000
Speaker 16: the whole time, and again, berline deaf. It's like God's

1344
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 3: Metallica music all afternoon. I've got my Colts shirt on

1345
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 3: today as we remember Officer Elliott losing his life in

1346
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 3: the line of duty. Thank you so much for joining

1347
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 3: us here and walk me through just about twenty four

1348
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 3: hours ago when the news started to leak out and

1349
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 3: when you found.

1350
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 6: Out, yes, sir, so thank you for the opportunity, and

1351
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:28,680
Speaker 6: thank you for long Chief Maurice and Rick Snyder the

1352
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 6: opportunity to speak earlier today. They gave you a lot

1353
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 6: of information. I'm not quite sure I can compete with

1354
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:36,680
Speaker 6: what the words that they gave you, but I want

1355
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 6: to do my best. Sir. It's been a long twenty

1356
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 6: four hours for the City Beach Grove. First heard from

1357
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:47,639
Speaker 6: the Chief yesterday late afternoon early evening about this incident

1358
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 6: over there in the City Beach Grove. Things kind of

1359
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 6: spiled very quickly. There are a lot of moving parts,

1360
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:57,280
Speaker 6: and I just applaud the Chief and our officers in

1361
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:01,640
Speaker 6: the department for what they did. There's no playbook for this,

1362
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 6: there's there's no.

1363
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:03,679
Speaker 11: Right or wrong.

1364
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 6: There's no order of operations for this type of thing,

1365
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 6: and no one's pay for it. But what our officers

1366
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 6: did and what with our administration and the chiefs did

1367
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 6: over there is second son, and I appalled them and

1368
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 6: they make it look easy and it's not. It's the

1369
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 6: hardest things they've ever done. And you wouldn't know that

1370
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 6: by looking with them, or looking at them or talking

1371
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:25,719
Speaker 6: to them.

1372
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:29,759
Speaker 3: Mister mayor, what was your role yesterday because I'm sure

1373
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 3: there were mixed emotions going on. Yes, you were concerned

1374
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 3: about what had happened to these officers, but at the

1375
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 3: same time, you've got a massive manhunt going on in

1376
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 3: your city. There's a lockdown order, you know, the high

1377
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 3: school's locked down, people are sheltering in place. Walk me

1378
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:48,400
Speaker 3: through the process of dealing with that.

1379
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

1380
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 6: So we we are very fortunate to be surrounded with

1381
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 6: by several several public tavy departments who kind of helped

1382
01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 6: us work through all that. My job was to be

1383
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 6: there from my officers, UH and to support the to

1384
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 6: support the chief and do what I can there. There

1385
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 6: were a lot of moving parts, as you can expect

1386
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 6: amongst all the agencies, but there was a consuline communication

1387
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 6: between them, our schools, our community center, UH here in

1388
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 6: the city Beach Grove, with with with everybody who was

1389
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 6: down at Asconnazi the crime scene. There were just so

1390
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:24,599
Speaker 6: many different moving parts and and everybody was in constant

1391
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 6: contact with that.

1392
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 4: So we worked through it as as as best we could.

1393
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,400

Speaker 6: uh here in the City Beach Grove at the police

1422
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:51,879
Speaker 6: station all day long and working through the frood emotions

1423
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 6: and helping us figure out what to say and and

1424
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 6: who to contact and and the processes because the City

1425
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:03,640
Speaker 6: Beach Grove it's hard be because we've been doing before

1426
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 6: and it's very hard. But we're working through the process.

1427
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 6: And I said, our officers are are second to nine

1428
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:13,640
Speaker 6: and they are strong and we support them. They have

1429
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:16,920
Speaker 6: a great leader in Chief Marie and debut Chief Hurlian Mercury.

1430
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,040
Speaker 6: They do a phenomenal job over there and we're very

1431
01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:21,800
Speaker 6: fortunate to have them in our city. But we were

1432
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 6: we're just here for Offuer Eliot, his family. He's a

1433
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 6: beech Grover through and through, and there's no there's no

1434
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:31,760
Speaker 6: more Beech grovemen than Officer Elliott, uh was.

1435
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:35,800
Speaker 3: So, mister Merrick, glad you bring that up for somebody,

1436
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 3: because we've talked about this earlier in the show, for

1437
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 3: somebody listening that doesn't know much about this little place

1438
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 3: on the southeast side of Indianapolis, Marion County, Beach Grove.

1439
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 3: When we say, somebody is a Beech Grove kid, somebody's

1440
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 3: a Grover, somebody's a hornet. Like that matters in this community.

1441
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:57,759
Speaker 3: Talk a little bit about that, that feeling of pride

1442
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 3: of people in the city that are doing good stuff.

1443
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 6: Absolutely, So one of the toughest jobs is for me

1444
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:08,719
Speaker 6: right now is trying to find ways for the community

1445
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 6: to help. We've gotten many, many people reaching out to

1446
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 6: me in my office and into our officers wanting to

1447
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:16,479
Speaker 6: know how they can help, what they can do, how

1448
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 6: they can pay their respect. So Aficer Elliott was a

1449
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 6: twenty eleven graduate of Beach Trope City Schools and his

1450
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 6: life long dream was to become a Beach Trope cop

1451
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 6: and it took us a few years, but he earned

1452
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,759
Speaker 6: that and he's a phenalen. He was a phenomenal officer

1453
01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:35,600
Speaker 6: and he earned that position and he did well. He

1454
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 6: served as city well, a true Beach Grover. He wanted

1455
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 6: to protect the place that he grew up.

1456
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 4: And he did all of that.

1457
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 6: We're working with Tomorrow night, we will hold a candlelight

1458
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 6: vigil in front of the Beach Grove Police Station. It

1459
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 6: will be at six thirty in front of the station.

1460
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 6: So we will send it out to the press here momentarily,

1461
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,240
Speaker 6: and we invite all the public to come out and

1462
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 6: to pay the respects. They can come out and view

1463
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:05,679
Speaker 6: the vehicle Australio. It's parked in front of the station

1464
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 6: right now. Come pay a respect to wherever you see

1465
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 6: fit and thank an officer and we just we ask

1466
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 6: them to grieve how they need to grieve. That it's

1467
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:16,360
Speaker 6: going to be tough and it's something that we're going

1468
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 6: to work through over the next few days. But we

1469
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 6: invite the community to come out and show the respect

1470
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 6: to Australia, his family and our other officers here in

1471
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:26,680
Speaker 6: the city Beach Grove, Fortnight.

1472
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 3: Mister Mayor. I grew up in Beach Grove. You know,

1473
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 3: we've known each other for a long time. Goes back

1474
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:33,760
Speaker 3: to maybe playing basketball in the park, to doing our

1475
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:37,040
Speaker 3: various things. Now, what I've noticed about the city of

1476
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 3: Beach Grove, as much as things have changed since I

1477
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:44,040
Speaker 3: was a knucklehead running around there in the early nineties,

1478
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 3: is that it doesn't matter if you're a Republican or

1479
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 3: a Democrat. When somebody on the outside comes in and

1480
01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 3: starts giving problems to somebody in Beach Grove, it's almost

1481
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 3: like a family. You know, families argue, families fight, but

1482
01:22:57,360 --> 01:23:00,639
Speaker 3: when somebody on the outside comes in, everybody the bonds.

1483
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:01,680
Speaker 3: Would you agree with that?

1484
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:02,559
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

1485
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 6: At the absolutely we are We're all Beach Grovers at heart,

1486
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:09,479
Speaker 6: and and there's no It's very obvious today, it was

1487
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 6: obvious last night, and it'll be obvious in the next

1488
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 6: few weeks as we pay our respects to Officer Elliott

1489
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:19,760
Speaker 6: and his family. But black and orange is what the

1490
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 6: city of Beach Corovid is, and that that's what we believe.

1491
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 6: We leave blue, we also believe black and orange. So

1492
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 6: I I yeah, we Beach Grobe is a special place

1493
01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 6: and I'm honored to be here as mayor, and I

01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 3: of the things that we hear an awful lot is,

1532
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 3: you know, I want to show support for law enforcement

1533
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 3: because I don't feel like they get enough support publicly.

1534
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 3: You know, in a world where you hear people saying

1535
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,559
Speaker 3: to fund the police and bleep the police. What can

1536
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:38,240
Speaker 3: people do, aside from making a monetary donation to help

1537
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 3: the family of the officer, to show support of law enforcement.

1538
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,760
Speaker 6: Just be vocal and know that they are their day

1539
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:50,600
Speaker 6: and night to serve and protect you. They always have

1540
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 6: it and they always will. Just being there, praying for them,

1541
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:57,439
Speaker 6: thinking about them, thanking them when you see them on

1542
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:02,600
Speaker 6: the streets, just yeah, I don't know. I think just

1543
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 6: being there and understanding and know the risk that they

1544
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 6: do each and every day that each and every day

1545
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 6: that they get up and they choose to come to work,

1546
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:13,760

1571
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 3: kind of a short notice thing, but God bless you.

1572
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 3: Thank you, and tell everybody in the grove for thinking

1573
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 3: of them.

1574
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 4: Awesome and thank you for the time today.

1575
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:31,320
Speaker 11: So I really appreciate it.

1576
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 6: Thank you for your support.

1577
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 2: The Hammer and Nigel show, they'd like Purdue plus two

1578
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:36,880
Speaker 2: and a half.

1579
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 4: Two and a half dogs at home tonight against.

1580
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 3: Michigan's really good. But did you see their star player

1581
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 3: was getting real mouthy on a video Bleep Purdue and

1582
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 3: bleep you know. Okay, I'm telling you Mackie is going

1583
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 3: to be a rocking tonight.

1584
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:54,120
Speaker 4: Is that billboard material? Is that what they call it?

1585
01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:58,799
Speaker 3: I think that is billboard material right there? Has Purdue

1586
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:01,040
Speaker 3: figured it out right? That's the question. They went through

1587
01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:03,800
Speaker 3: a little rough stretch there. You know, once IU won

1588
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:06,160
Speaker 3: the football national championship, I think it broke the spirit

1589
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 3: of the pretty basketball team. But I think Matt Paters

1590
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:12,200
Speaker 3: kind of circled the wagons and got those guys going again.

1591
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's going to be a good one tonight.

1592
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 3: That's a big boy, big ten college basketball. Where are

1593
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:24,559
Speaker 3: we at with this? Obama did an interview and said, oh, yeah,

1594
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:29,840
Speaker 3: aliens real, aliens actually real, Take a listen.

1595
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 15: They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not

1596
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 15: being kept in what is it fifty one? There's no

1597
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:44,680
Speaker 15: underground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hit

1598
01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:46,520
Speaker 15: it from the president of the United States.

1599
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:51,680
Speaker 2: What kind of answer was that, Yeah, they're real, but

1600
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:54,639
Speaker 2: I haven't seen them, and they're not an area fifty

1601
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:56,800
Speaker 2: one unless it's a big mass conspiracy.

1602
01:28:56,840 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 4: But the real but I haven't seen them. It's like

1603
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:00,760
Speaker 4: I could have.

1604
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 3: That's how I feel about Sidney Sweeney's breasts. I hear

1605
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 3: they're real, but I haven't seen them, at least not

1606
01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:09,320
Speaker 3: in person.

1607
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:15,839
Speaker 4: True, I needed that. I needed that one.

1608
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:17,599
Speaker 3: Like that would be the stuff I would be so

1609
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,760
Speaker 3: fascinated with if I ever became the president. Yes, I

1610
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 3: know I should be focusing on wars overseas and you know,

1611
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:26,479
Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff, but I want to see

1612
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:31,240
Speaker 3: all the classified stuff. I want to see fifty one JFK.

1613
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 3: And I want all the stuff that nobody else is

1614
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:37,439
Speaker 3: allowed to see. I'd spend so much time, like I'd

1615
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:40,800
Speaker 3: be going to the official White House can chair force one.

1616
01:29:40,960 --> 01:29:43,559
Speaker 3: I assume that's what it's called. Sitting down just going

1617
01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:45,320
Speaker 3: through all the Kennedy files and stuff.

1618
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:49,639
Speaker 2: I would have my own personal diet Coke button on

1619
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:53,680
Speaker 2: the resolute desk like Donald Trump, except I wouldn't have

1620
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:54,679
Speaker 2: them bring me die coke.

1621

Speaker 4: Could be diet Mountain dew ooh.

1622
01:29:57,439 --> 01:29:59,599
Speaker 3: And maybe you could have a tequila guy and anytime

01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:03,080
Speaker 3: you wanted to nectar of the gods. There you go,

1624

Speaker 3: there you go.

1625
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 4: By the way.

1626
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:09,639
Speaker 3: A little update, So a couple months back, we announced

1627
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 3: that a new line of Hammer and Nigel tequila will

1628
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:14,719
Speaker 3: be coming out. There's a little issue at the border

1629
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:19,000
Speaker 3: right now. We got the good stuff. It comes from Mexico. Okay,

1630
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:23,120
Speaker 3: little hiccup at the border right now. That's fancy talk

1631
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:25,800
Speaker 3: for we think the cartel's maybe trying to hijack our truck.

1632
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 4: So once we.

1633
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:29,800
Speaker 3: Ever get that fixed and worked out, we will have

1634
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:33,479
Speaker 3: another round of Hammer and Nigel Show tequila to put

1635
01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:35,960
Speaker 3: out to the public. Because it was really good, we

1636
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:38,799
Speaker 3: sampled it on the air. Remember, yeah, yeah, good.

1637
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 2: Ready for I'm ready for another round, trust me, I

1638
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:43,639
Speaker 2: am waiting with baited breath.

1639
01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 3: Hey, you guys, this has been a different show than

1640
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:50,920
Speaker 3: what we normally do here today. Normally we give you

1641
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 3: the news of the day, but it's in a fun,

1642
01:30:53,400 --> 01:30:57,479
Speaker 3: quirky way. But again, man, I'm not trying to be

1643
01:30:57,520 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 3: a downer, but that's the place I grew up, and

1644
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:06,679
Speaker 3: I know they're hurting, and good people are hurting. Somebody

1645
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:09,000
Speaker 3: that's a good dude lost his life in the line

1646
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 3: of duty yesterday. You heard the emotion, you watched the

1647
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:15,719
Speaker 3: YouTube video, and you saw the tears from the Chief

1648
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:18,639
Speaker 3: of police who was in studio with us today. We're

1649
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:20,439
Speaker 3: going to replay that coming up in just a little

1650
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:23,479
Speaker 3: bit in case you missed it. But we're gonna try

1651
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:26,920
Speaker 3: to have a little fun coming up tomorrow and the

1652
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 3: rest of this show. So thank you so much for

1653
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 3: being patient with us. It's been a sad day on

1654
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 3: the South Side, but I'm telling you, the grove is

1655
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 3: going to pick itself up.
