1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to remember the media for twenty going on 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: twenty four years. I've covered politics very closely for the 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: better part of fifteen and what I saw yesterday was 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: probably the most unhinged, unforced thing from a politician I 5 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: may have ever seen. 6 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 2: And it was glorious. 7 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: Because if you want to fight, buddy, oh boy, you 8 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: come to the right place. 9 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 3: Them's fighting words, for sure. So the Secretary of State 10 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 3: started a presentation at the Motor Vehicle Advisory Board meeting. 11 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: I mean, how boring does that sound? 12 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 3: I know? 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 2: And wow, did it take a hard turn. 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 3: He didn't just tap on the brakes, No, he floored 15 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 3: the gas and went straight into a media showdown. 16 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: Okay, so let's reach so Diego Morales is the Secretary 17 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: of State of the State of Indian And I know 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: most of our audience knows this, but for all the 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: new people that are coming in, we always want to 20 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,919 Speaker 1: kind of reset this and we have for the past 21 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: several months. Asked a very simple question, who paid for 22 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: the trip? The ten day trip he took to India 23 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: in which he blew off. I mean he left the country, 24 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: nobody publicly knew where he was. His staff was describing 25 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: it as on some sort of economic development mission which 26 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: he has no economic development responsibility, and most of mort 27 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: only he blew off his budget hearing in front of 28 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: the Indiana General Assembly, which is his primary job. And 29 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: it's over the past. Well that was March, so April, May, June. 30 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: We're in July now. We have repeatedly asked the question 31 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: who paid for this trip to India? 32 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: We know a venture capitalist went with him. 33 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,919 Speaker 1: We know this guy Raju Shinhala, who has this mysterious 34 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: eighty thousand dollars contract with his office which we can't 35 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: get a clear answer on what he does, went with him. 36 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: And we know Raju, by his own admission, was in 37 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: India selling access to visas to people in the country 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: of India. Yeah, and so we have simply asked the 39 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: question for the past four months, who paid for this 40 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: trip to India? What did you do? Well, he, being 41 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: Diego Morales, tried to say, well, it was some well 42 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: meaning local merchant that sent me over there. He has 43 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: no business with my office. We said, great, show us 44 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: who it is. Well, I'm not going to do that. 45 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: Well why not, Well he could get protested, protested by whom? Right, 46 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: So then the narrative switched about a month ago or 47 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: two months ago, where it went from somebody else paid 48 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: for India too. 49 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: I paid all the money back for India. I paid 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: for the trip. No, you did not. 51 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 3: You reimbursed for the trip. 52 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: And so then we said, great, show us proof that 53 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: you paid the money back. Show us proof that you 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: wrote a check with receipts that match what will match 55 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: all the expent, the flights, the hotels, and the meals, whatever, 56 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: and also show us proof that that check was deposited, 57 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: and then we'll all go home. We'll still want to 58 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: know who that guy was, but we'll all go home. 59 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: And then he refused to do that, and so I 60 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: don't know, a week or two ago whatever, we just 61 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: kind of said, look, we've taken this as far as 62 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: we can take it on this radio show, that we 63 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: have exposed all of this. We don't have any subpoena power. 64 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: We don't have the ability to force this guy to 65 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 1: do anything. There is a laundry list of behavior from 66 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: Diego Morales, the Secretary of State, over the past three 67 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: years that are colossal, giant red flags to any normal 68 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: rational person. But from our extent, we're kind of done 69 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: with it. Now, the campaign finance reports came out. What 70 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: was that a week or so ago. We had a 71 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: bunch of questions about that, but again, all we can 72 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: do is ask questions. 73 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: We're over, We're done with it. And then yesterday he 74 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: goes to this. 75 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 3: It's the Motor Vehicle Advisory Board meeting. They're talking. They 76 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 3: should usually talk about license forums and DMV jargon. But 77 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 3: Diego Morales, the Secretary of State, he walked in there 78 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 3: like he was auditioning for a. 79 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: Political action film. 80 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: You've never had a secretary of state like me. 81 00:03:59,200 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. 82 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: And credit to Steven Whitmer and the Indie Reporter people, 83 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: they got this sent to them by an anonymous source. 84 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: It is. 85 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: You can see it at Indie Underscore. Reporter Underscore is 86 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: the account if you want to view it. It's a 87 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: zoom type of thing, so you can see this. The 88 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: Indiana Capitol Chronicle, which will have Nikki Kelly on next hour, 89 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: ran a fabulous piece. If it's fifteen minutes, basically it's 90 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: him ranting for fifteen We are not going to subject 91 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: that you to that. Now, what I do suggest is 92 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: our US military view this and send this to Guantanamo 93 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: Bay and those people they interrogate in Guantana. Oh you 94 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: want to tell us the truth, Here's fifteen minutes of 95 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: Morales ranting like an unhinged lunatic. 96 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: How about that? I think that would be a great 97 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 2: way to get the truck. 98 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: That colleague shake Mohammed guy, he'll be singing like a canary, buddy, 99 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: all right, So so shall we play this? Because he 100 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: he is so mad at us, calling us not only 101 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: are we fake news, but we're fake double UIBC, which 102 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means. Now, are we 103 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: the same WIBC from thirty years ago? No, we used 104 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: to be on ten seventy. Now we're on ninety three one. 105 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: But I think we've been on ninety three to one 106 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: for going on twenty years now, close to it, So 107 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what that even means. We're the fake WIBC. 108 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: But again, this is like a fifteen minute thing. We're 109 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: not going to play the whole thing, but we're going 110 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: to try to give you the gist. At a Motor 111 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: Vehicle Advisory Board meeting where a bunch of people are 112 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: just trying to eat their lunch and just get through 113 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: the meeting, and this guy launches into a fifteen minute 114 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: tie rade go so. 115 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 4: As you're known, and this is good for all new 116 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 4: members of the board now as well to all our guests, 117 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 4: distinguished guests here. You know, one of the things that 118 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 4: we're going to try to do right now is to 119 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 4: share with you the hard work that the. 120 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: Morales right away with Papa papas real quick. 121 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: The Morales administration, Yes, what the hell is that? It's 122 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: the broad administration. Before that, it was the Wholcome administration. 123 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: And so the logical question is does he view it 124 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: on these foreign trips, whether it's Hungary or India or whatever. 125 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: Is he presenting himself to these people as the Morales administration. 126 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: That's a great question. 127 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: And it does seem like he really is interested in 128 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 3: elevating his stature. 129 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 2: Sir, you are not the governor. 130 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: And this is what amazes me that Braun keeps allowing 131 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,119 Speaker 1: this guy to take a giant dump on him over 132 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: and over and over and over again in big time 133 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: him and not do anything about it. Is diego Morales 134 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: when he's in these foreign countries, because we already know 135 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: he doesn't have any economic development authority. The Secretary of 136 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: State is simply an administrator of the will of the 137 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: General Assembly. 138 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 2: That's it. That's his job. 139 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: It's not to be an advocate for the state in 140 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: economic development in foreign countries and this, and then your 141 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: job is to enforce. 142 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: The law of the General Assembly. It does seem like 143 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: he's moonlighting. 144 00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 3: Is Indiana's unofficial ambassador at large with the Morales adminstration. 145 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: That is so concerning that that's how he views himself. Sir, 146 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: you are the Secretary of State, which means in a 147 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: in a targeted group of areas, you have administrative authority 148 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: over the laws passed by the General Assembly period. 149 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: That's it. That's the job, okay, go you the. 150 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 4: Hard work that the Morales administration has been doing since 151 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 4: I took office. Because the fake news will never share that, 152 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 4: the fake WIBC, the fake in the Star, they will 153 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 4: never So don't pay attention to the fake news. It 154 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 4: is time for someone like me to share what we 155 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 4: have done. 156 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: In that pause, What have we done that's fake? We 157 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: simply want to know. Diego, you are on everyone's rate. 158 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: You are on our radar because you took a mysterious 159 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: trip to a foreign country for ten days and you 160 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: won't tell anybody you Diego, have made this problem yourself. 161 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: You have caused this by refusing to be the least 162 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: transparent about any of this, by blowing off your responsibility 163 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: to go hang out and play around in a foreign 164 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: country for ten days for something that's not your responsibility. 165 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: That's why we're paying attention to you.
