1
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: All they want to do. All the American people need

2
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: to know this. They are talking about Epstein today. This

3
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: has been around since the Obama administration. This administration released

4
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: over three million pages of documents, over three million, and

5
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: Donald Trump signed that law to release all of those

6
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: documents UNDID.

7
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: That is your Attorney General, Pam Bondi.

8
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 3: She is directly responsible for overseeing the Department's collection, review

9
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 3: and determinations regarding the release of the Epstein files, and

10
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: the House Oversight Committee believes that she possesses valuable insight

11
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: into those efforts. Therefore, they're giving her a subpoena to

12
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: come say more words.

13
00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: Good morning.

14
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: You're listening to Casey and Jim and coming up this morning. Also,

15
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: the partial government shutdown continues ron.

16
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 4: Day thirty one since the Democrats decided to shout the

17
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 4: government down. The partial shutdown, this time of Homeland Security.

18
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 4: This is now the third longest shut down in American history.

19
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 4: They like making history on the other side, the wrong kind.

20
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: Democrats denying the pay of roughly one hundred and twenty

21
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 3: thousand employees of the Department of Homeland Security.

22
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: Also, this morning, the Save Act, it's moving forward.

23
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 5: You know, I support the Save act. I support the

24
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 5: idea of producing citizenship. I really think voting in person

25
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 5: is the best way to vote. Also, I think voting

26
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 5: by mail is prone to fraud more inherently less trustworthy

27
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 5: because no one sees who fills out the ballot, and

28
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 5: sometimes the witness requirements are not enforced.

29
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: That is Rand Paul, and he says that debate vote

30
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: that happened yesterday was the litmus test. By the way,

31
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 3: Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, she voted nay, So go back

32
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: to simple proof citizenship, show an id protect our elections.

33
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: And also coming up today, the story that disappeared.

34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: We received your message and we understand.

35
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: We beg you now to return our mother to us

36
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: so that we can celebrate with her. So at eleven

37
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: o'clock FBI guy Corey Grass is going to join us

38
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: and we're going to talk about the Nancy Guthrie story

39
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 3: and get his expert opinion on the kidnapping. And today

40
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 3: you're saying, today is it the last day of winter?

41
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 6: Hauh, This is it, This is it. We've been fighting

42
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 6: winter for months. Today is the last day. It's kind

43
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 6: of like at the end of Game of Thrones, Aria

44
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 6: Stark is fighting the Night King and she goes to

45
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 6: hit him with the dagger, and the Night King turns

46
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 6: around grabs her arm. Then she drops the dagger, grabs

47
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 6: it with the free hand, gives him the uppercut, and

48
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 6: kills them. That's what we're doing today. We're killing off winter.

49
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 6: After today, nothing but rainbows and sunshine for the rest

50
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 6: of our lives. It's going to be great.

51
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll believe you tomorrow morning when the temperatures rise.

52
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: Let's go back to James Comer from the House Oversite

53
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: Committee formally sending a subpoena to Pam Bondi over the

54
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: Epstein files. So you've got Nancy Mayce who has been

55
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: pushing for this, and she accused the Attorney General of obfuscating.

56
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: She said there's over sixty five thousand documents missing, and

57
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: we all know there are more than two thousand videos

58
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: that are out there. And she said they're not giving

59
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 3: them all to Congress the information. They don't have it,

60
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: they don't have all the documents, and she'd like to

61
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 3: ask questions in that deposition.

62
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, what I think is interesting about this. And by

63
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 6: the way, five Republicans on that House Oversight Committee joined

64
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 6: the Democrats to issue this subpoena for Pam Bondi to

65
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 6: come and testify. The other reps were Lauren Bobert out

66
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 6: of Colorado, Perry, Pennsylvania, Burkette, Tennessee, and Cloud in Texas,

67
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 6: along with Nancy Mays. First thing I thought of when

68
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 6: I saw this, I thought back to Christinome, and I

69
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 6: saw a lot of parallels between that because with Christinome,

70
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 6: you know, she had some problems when she was running DHS.

71
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 6: She was called to testify in front of Congress. Kind

72
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 6: of surprisingly, the Republicans asked her some pretty tough questions

73
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 6: because you know, usually whether it's a confirmation hearing or anything,

74
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 6: if you're from the same party, you know, the Republicans

75
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 6: give you softballs. That's not what Christinome got. She got

76
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 6: some real tough questions. The testimony didn't go well, and

77
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 6: then right after that Trump asked her invited her to

78
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 6: no longer be Secretary of DHS. So I'm kind of

79
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 6: seeing some parallels here with Pam Bondy. She's had some

80
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 6: issues as Attorney General, and look, I like Pam Bondy.

81
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 6: I was happy when Pam Bondy was confirmed as the

82
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 6: Attorney General. I was cheerleading and rooting for Pam Bondy

83
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 6: to be successful. But she has struggled, and really one

84
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 6: of the big areas where she had struggled is with

85
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 6: these Epstein files. And so now she's being asked to testify. Oh,

86
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 6: let's remember the last time she had to testify about

87
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 6: this didn't go so well.

88
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: Oh no, last time she testified, we got nice little

89
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: gems like this one where she's talking about the Dow jones.

90
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: Because Donald Trump the doo. The Dow right now is over.

91
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: The Dow is over fifty thousand dollars. I don't know

92
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader. As I

93
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: hear raskin. The Dow is over fifty thousand right now,

94
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: the S and P at almost seven thousand, and the

95
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: nasdacs smashing records. Americans four oh one k's and retirement

96
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: savings are booming. That's what we should be talking about.

97
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: That's what she wants to talk about. For sure. She

98
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: does not want to talk about.

99
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: Her actions during the release of the Epstein files.

100
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 6: And this is a problem. And she's come out and said, hey, look,

101
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 6: the federal government, I know you guys passed that law

102
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 6: and Trump signed the bill, and we're supposed to release

103
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 6: all the Epstein files, but the DOJ's got about three

104
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 6: million documents still part of the Epstein files, and we're

105
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 6: not going to release them. And by the way, we're

106
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 6: never going to release them. And that's what she said previously.

107
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 6: So now she's got to testify in the House in

108
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 6: front of the House Oversight Committee, and it kind of

109
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 6: seems like her job's on the line here. If it

110
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 6: doesn't go well, if she does what Christy nom did

111
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks ago, or if she does this

112
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 6: poorly as she did last time she testified in front

113
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 6: of Congress, it kind of feels like same thing. Pam

114
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 6: Bondi is certainly on the hot seat and may not

115
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 6: be Attorney General for much longer.

116
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 3: I think the real scandal here, though, is the institutional incompetence,

117
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 3: whether it's redactions, delays, victim mishandling.

118
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: The takeaway, it's not this grand conspiracy.

119
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: It's that the federal agencies can't execute even when given

120
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: clear legal mandates. I mean, they passed the Epstein Files

121
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: Transparency Act, and it's anything but being transparent. Pam Bondi,

122
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 3: she's gonna have to go to Zara in Tyson's Quarter,

123
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: get herself a new suit, and show up again. She

124
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: is scheduled to appear and sit for a full deposition

125
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: on April fourteenth.

126
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 6: And one thing I do want to say, and I

127
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 6: can't believe I keep doing this because I keep having

128
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 6: to say good things about Nancy Mays. You're in love

129
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 6: with n Look, I've had a lot of problems with

130
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 6: Nancy Maids. And I always feel like that when I

131
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 6: dog certain people and give them the business, and it's

132
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 6: always because they deserve it when they do something right,

133
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 6: I feel like I have to make sure that I'm fair,

134
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 6: and I pointed out, but Nancy Mays has been the

135
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 6: absolute champion of transparency this year in Congress. She was

136
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 6: the one that wanted all the documents from the investigation

137
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 6: under ilan Omar released. The Republicans didn't want to do that.

138
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 6: She's been pushing for the release of the sexual harassment

139
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 6: claims that have been made against members of Congress over

140
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 6: the last forty years. Nobody wanted to push that forward,

141
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 6: and she lost that fight. And she has been just

142
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 6: all over these Epstein files and demanding that these documents

143
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 6: get released. And so I've got to give Nancy Mays

144
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 6: a lot of credit. She is seems like she's pretty

145
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 6: much the only one in Congress right now that gives

146
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 6: a crap about anything that has to do with transparency.

147
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: So there was a recent poll that came out and

148
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: it said half of Americans believe Donald Trump bomb Iran

149
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 3: because of the Epstein files.

150
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: Now here's the cavegat.

151
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: This poll was done by Zido, it's a left leaning website,

152
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: and they said that fifty two percent of people in

153
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: the US believe the president attacker ran because of the

154
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: Epstein files. Eighty one percent of Democrats's thought the war

155
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: was a deliberate distraction, and only twenty six percent of

156
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: Republicans agree to that measure.

157
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, this poll means absolutely nothing to me. I bet

158
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 6: I could put out a poll today and get half

159
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 6: of Americans to believe that the Earth is flat. If

160
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 6: I word the question properly, I could probably put out

161
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 6: a poll today and get half of Americans to believe

162
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 6: that we fake the moon landing if I word the

163
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 6: question properly. It just doesn't seem like you said. This

164
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 6: is a left leaning polling organization. There are a lot

165
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 6: of powerful people right now that want to put out

166
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 6: a lot of bad information about Donald Trump while we're

167
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 6: in this military action with Iran, and this is just

168
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 6: another example of that. With this half of America believes

169
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 6: this is a distraction for the Epstein files. You know,

170
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 6: Donald Trump is a lot of things, but I don't

171
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 6: believe he is somebody that puts American military lives in

172
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 6: jeopardy for something as trivial as the Epstein files.

173
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: In comparison, according to this pole, many Americans, they say,

174
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: the goal of the war is unclear and the administration

175
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: has not explained it all. But when you do have

176
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: a large chunk of Americans assuming that a military decision

177
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 3: is tied to Epstein scandals, I think that's less about

178
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: Trump and more about the total collapse of trust towards

179
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 3: government and media.

180
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, remember where this all started, or at least in

181
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 6: modern times. The idea of military strikes to distract from

182
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 6: other problems started during the Clinton administration and the Monica

183
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 6: Lewinsky scandal and some missiles we sent over to the

184
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 6: Middle East right when that scandal was right in the

185
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 6: middle of it, and the movie Wagged the Dog was

186
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 6: out at the same time, do you remember that, And

187
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 6: it was like that was the catchphrase at the time. Oh,

188
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 6: this is wagged the dog a president, you know, sending

189
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 6: the military to action to distract from from personal problems.

190
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 6: It was Clinton that kind of got us down this

191
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 6: road in the modern era. And now here we are

192
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 6: forty years or thirty years later and people are accusing

193
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 6: Trump of the same thing.

194
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: We've got more to talk about on this issue, and

195
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: we'll get to all of it coming up. You're listening

196
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: to Casey and Jim. It is ninety three WYBC.

197
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: Good morning.

198
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 3: He led Indiana to a perfect season and the school's

199
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 3: first national title sixteen and zero wreck and now he's

200
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: going to be honored. This is exactly how our local

201
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 3: heroes should be honored. Kurt Signetti, head football coach of

202
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: the Indiana University Hoosiers. He will drive the honorary pace

203
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 3: car at the one hundred and tenth Indy five hundred

204
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 3: on May twenty fourth, twenty six, going between one hundred

205
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: and one hundred and twenty five.

206
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: Miles per hour on the track. Hope he feels the

207
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 2: need for speed.

208
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, this seems like the like a total no brainer

209
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 6: and like the easiest decision that the Indy five hundred

210
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 6: could have done. You've got this great coach. And let's

211
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 6: be honest, the Indiana Hoosiers this last year were the

212
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 6: greatest story in college football history, maybe one of the

213
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,359
Speaker 6: greatest stories in the history of all sports. So incredible,

214
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 6: captured the nation. Obviously, all of us Hoosiers are totally

215
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,359
Speaker 6: into it, the guys right down the road in Bloomington.

216
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 6: Just makes total sense to have him drive in the

217
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 6: pace car at the Indy five hundred. By the way,

218
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 6: plenty of other sports figures have driven the pace car

219
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 6: in the past, people like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, a

220
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 6: Rod Emmitt Smith. So not uncommon for them to incorporate

221
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 6: somebody else from the sports world and bring them into

222
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 6: the sport of motor racing.

223
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 3: So Signette's gonna drive a Chevrolet Corvette z R one X.

224
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 3: It's a high performance Corvette built right here in the

225
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: United States. And this is when real leadership gets noticed

226
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: outside the usual spotlight, right.

227
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 6: I want to let you know that I would say,

228
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 6: even today, because what's it been two months since the

229
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 6: National Championship game, I would say probably three or four

230
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 6: times a week I still pull up that Fernando Mendoza

231
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 6: run from the National championship game where he got hit

232
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 6: at the two yard line and spun around and then

233
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 6: dove into the end zone. In fact, I've got several

234
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 6: versions of it saved on my phone with like different

235
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 6: music in the background, like the Titanic theme or that

236
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 6: Madonna song that they've done and started to use in

237
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 6: dramatic sports videos like this, like a prayer. That's exactly it,

238
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 6: Like whatever I need, like to get myself pumped up

239
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 6: a little bit, I just pulled one of those up

240
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 6: on my phone and watch that for ar motivation. That's

241
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 6: my motivation for it. And look, I'm not even a

242
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 6: lifelong IU fan, as you know. Look I grew up

243
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 6: outside of Chicago, and look, the only sports, the only

244
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 6: college sport you know, team outside of Chicago in that

245
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 6: area is Notre Dame because nobody how can you root

246
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 6: for Illinois? They stink and have stunk forever. In fact,

247
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 6: stunk so bad that this year, when people thought Illinois

248
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 6: was good, they played Indiana. Indiana puts a sixty burger

249
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 6: up on him and crushes them. So I'm kind of

250
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 6: late to the IU fandom. I'm a bandwagon IU fan,

251
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 6: proud to admit it because it was so much fun

252
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 6: this year, and I mean this is just my Indy

253
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 6: five hundred is lined up day. I got Kurt Signetti

254
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 6: driving the car. I'm going to be in the snake

255
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 6: pit having all the fun and craziness there and then

256
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 6: the race. I'm more excited about this year's Indy five

257
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 6: hundred than I have been of any race in a

258
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 6: long time.

259
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: So I'll see your birthday weekend. Don't forget it.

260
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 6: It's always my birthday weekend, Memorial Day weekend, always my

261
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 6: birthday weekend, and Indy five hundred weekend. So that's what

262
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 6: I want for my birthday. Me, me and you at

263
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 6: the snake pit early in the morning, and then we

264
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 6: watched Signetti drive around the track, and then we stick

265
00:12:59,320 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 6: around and watch.

266
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: The pray for me. Please.

267
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: So Signetti's achievement, that's just not about football though. It's

268
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: a positive story that's transcending sports and it deserves statewide celebration.

269
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: I think that they, Doug Bowles.

270
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: And his gang, they did an excellent job with this

271
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 3: choice this year.

272
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, real easy, simple choice and it goes way beyond

273
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 6: the state. I mean, I mean, I mean that IU

274
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 6: team and Kurt Signetti captured the imagination of the whole nation.

275
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 6: I mean it's rare that you see the whole country

276
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 6: get behind one team. I mean, we saw the polling

277
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 6: before the National Championship game. The only state in the

278
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 6: entire country that was rooting for Miami was Florida. All

279
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 6: the other forty nine states, a little.

280
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 3: Pocket Dade County, and there was a little pocket in

281
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: South Bend and a little pocket and me slackes who

282
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 3: maybe we're rooting for the Hoosiers. Everybody else was, well,

283
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,599
Speaker 3: congratulations to him. That will be an exciting day. I

284
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: wonder if he's going to be nervous about that.

285
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 2: That's a fast pace. I mean it's on.

286
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: A track, right, but you're gonna have some really high

287
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: performance cars right behind you.

288
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 6: Casey, Yeah, Kirk Signetti is never nervous. Did you just

289
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 6: see that man on the sidelines this year? Will he

290
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 6: be doing the.

291
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 3: Look back and forth on the track like he did

292
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: on the sidelines?

293
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 6: Ice water in his veins? Fernando Mendoza and that Penn

294
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 6: State game, throws the touchdown and the receiver just barely

295
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 6: gets the toe in the end zone and it's good

296
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 6: and they beat Penn State and they pan over to

297
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 6: Kurt Signetti and he's just got the death stare.

298
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: Like he knew it was gonna happen.

299
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 6: You know it was gonna happen the whole time. No,

300
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 6: Kurt Signetti, I guarantee you he's not nervous. That man is.

301
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 6: I mean ice water in the veins.

302
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 3: He drives fast. Just google him. Something else that happened quickly.

303
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 3: A meteor entered Earth's atmosphere yesterday morning, causing a huge boom,

304
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: and it could apparently be heard across Ohio and Pennsylvania,

305
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: even in parts of New York. It was a bright

306
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: fireball and it was visible to the naked eye, and

307
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: a lot of people got very nervous about this meteor.

308
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: Residents were paying, they were calling nine to one one.

309
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 3: They were wondering what exploded. And then many people were

310
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: wondering if this was some sort of military or government activity.

311
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 6: Everybody goes straight to the number one conspiracy theory. Now, yeah,

312
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 6: these videos were trending on social media. I mean that's

313
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 6: the other thing in the day's you know, current times

314
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 6: we live in. Everybody's got a ring doorbell camera, and

315
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 6: so there were tons of videos being posted on social

316
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 6: media from people's ring doorbell cameras where you could hear

317
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 6: this loud boom, and they kind of tracked it. Like

318
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 6: you said, it was across multiple states and across multiple areas,

319
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 6: And so I think that's number one fascinating. But I

320
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 6: am also fascinated by the fact that anytime something out

321
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 6: of the ordinary happens anywhere, immediately it's Defcon one. And

322
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 6: this is a conspiracy theory. And these are the Iranian

323
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 6: drones that the FBI was warning us about. They're not

324
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 6: hitting California, they're hitting Ohio. Now it turns out, no, that's.

325
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: Just just a natural wonder, not a national crisis. It's

326
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: like every event has to have some government explanation. Sometimes

327
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: nature is just put in on a show.

328
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: You know.

329
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: We are still just on a floating rock. We're at

330
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: the mercy of the cosmos. But this thing, it did

331
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: break the sound barrier. It created a sonic boom, It

332
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: rattled homes and windows, and the experts described it as

333
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 3: a several ton space rock traveling tens of thousands of

334
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: miles per hour.

335
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I again, everybody going straight to you know,

336
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 6: Defcon one and the biggest conspiracy theories out there. Reminds

337
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 6: me a lot of that. I see these types of

338
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 6: videos on social media a lot. It's somebody that's like

339
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 6: stopped at a train track and they're just recording, and

340
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 6: all of a.

341
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: Sudden, this isn't normal, right.

342
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 6: You see these flatbuds come through carrying tanks or or

343
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 6: humvies or something like that, and the narrator's always this

344
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 6: isn't normal. What's going on. They're building concentration camps in

345
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 6: Texas and we're all going to be housed. No. No,

346
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 6: the military transports their equipment by train every single day

347
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 6: in this country. I get it. Look, it is the

348
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 6: golden age of conspiracy theories.

349
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: And sitting on the edge of your seat, yeah, it's.

350
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 6: The golden age of conspiracy theories because some of them

351
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 6: turned out to have come true. So I get that.

352
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 6: I get that, But that does not mean that every

353
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 6: single thing is a conspiracy theory. And I wish we'd

354
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 6: wait for more than just one random five second video

355
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 6: with a loud noise before people start going, you know,

356
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 6: out of their minds and claiming that these are Iranian

357
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 6: drones that are coming to the heartland of America.

358
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: NASA and they watch National Weather Service. They confirmed that

359
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 3: it was a meteor fireball event, not military activity or

360
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 3: any sort of conventional explosion. It was just the cosmos

361
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 3: you're listening to ninety three WYBC.

362
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 7: Motor ID laws are so obvious, they're so common sense

363
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 7: that it's shocking that we're even having a debate on

364
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 7: the floor of the United States Senate this week about it.

365
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 3: That was ed That is Indiana Senator Jim Thanks. He's

366
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: going hard for the Save Act. You see the headlines

367
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 3: and they say it's official, the Save America Act has

368
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 3: advanced in the US Senate fifty one to forty eight.

369
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

370
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: No, that doesn't mean the bill has passed, only that

371
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 3: they agreed to debate the bill.

372
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 6: I saw those headlines and I was even confused the

373
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 6: headlines where you know, Save Act advances fifty one to

374
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 6: forty I was like, what they voted on it? How

375
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 6: come there was no fil what? No, It just turns

376
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 6: out that the Senate has to vote before they do anything.

377
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 6: So this was just a vote to decide to have

378
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 6: a debate about it. They've got to vote. Hey, you

379
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 6: gotta go to the bathroom. No, no, no, don't go anywhere.

380
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 6: We gotta have a vote on that. Hey, you guys

381
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 6: want Jimmy Johns for lunch. Nope, nope, we got to

382
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 6: have a vote to then debate on whether or not

383
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 6: we're going to have Jimmy Johns for lunch here in

384
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 6: the US Senate.

385
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

386
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 3: No, I want the tom Turkey sandwich from Jimmy Johns.

387
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: I don't want the Italian sub. No, we have to

388
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: debate this. I'm not going to sit here and let

389
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: you on the Chamber four determine that the Italian sub

390
00:18:58,640 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: sandwich is for everybody.

391
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 2: I want turkey.

392
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: Even Ben Franklin thought that the turkey should be our

393
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: national bird.

394
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: We're getting turkey for everyone.

395
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 6: My fellow Americans. It is obvious that the Italian nightclub,

396
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 6: the number nine at Jimmy John's, has always been the

397
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 6: superior sub. I personally get mine with hot peppers and

398
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 6: on wheat bread, and I urge you to vote for

399
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 6: the number nine for our lunch today. Here in the

400
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 6: US Senate. They vote on everything at the Senate. So

401
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 6: just if you see that headline, just be like, okay, no,

402
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 6: this just means they're going to advance it and move

403
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 6: to debate now. Senator Tom Thun, the Senate Majority leader,

404
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 6: John Tute, has said that I was stuck on Tom

405
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 6: Turkey and your favorite sub said that today they hope

406
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 6: to have a vote or at least force the Democrats

407
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 6: into a standing filibuster. We're watching the Senate closely today

408
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 6: to see if that.

409
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 2: Actually normally start around ten o'clock right.

410
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 6: Usually sometimes, but again it's the Senate. Anything could happen.

411
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 6: They may have to have a vote that you know,

412
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 6: changes the garbage cans that they've got sitting on the

413
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 6: Senate floor, because that's really important. It is just the

414
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 6: parliamentary rules in the Senate are very archaic, they're very

415
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 6: difficult to understand, and pretty much anything can happen.

416
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 2: I don't know. Is it Tom Turkey or Turkey Tom?

417
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 2: It's the number four?

418
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 6: Is it's the number four? That's your favorite of Jimmy

419
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 6: John's my favorites the number nine. And we can continue

420
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 6: this debate I think maybe later and not here on

421
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 6: the Senate floor today.

422
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 3: Back to Jim Banks, he said that voter id laws

423
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 3: are so obvious, they're so common sense, that it's shocking

424
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 3: that we're even having the debate, and then he used

425
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: the Great State of Indiana as an example.

426
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 7: The Constitution is very clear that only citizens of the

427
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 7: United States of America are eligible to vote in our elections,

428
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 7: so that debate is already settled. Indiana already has voter

429
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 7: ID laws. Hoosiers have to show an ID when they

430
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 7: show up to vote on election day, and they have

431
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 7: to prove that they are who they say they are

432
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 7: when they register to vote in the first place. But

433
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 7: it's not fair to Hoosier's when other states don't require

434
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 7: voter ID. It's not fair to law abiding Americans throughout

435
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 7: the country because when we allow non citizens to vote

436
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 7: in our federal elections, we dilute the power of the

437
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 7: American voter.

438
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: I thought that was a really good point what he's saying.

439
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 3: This is something that Hoosiers already do, and they're watering

440
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: down our votes in other states by not enacting a

441
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 3: law like this.

442
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 6: Yeah. I hate to have to say nice things about

443
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 6: Jim Banks, because I've given him the business in the past,

444
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 6: and believe me, he's deserved it every single time. Oh,

445
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 6: for instance, like when he supported the ridiculous redistricting here

446
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 6: in the state of Indiana, when he refused to debate.

447
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 6: Jim Banks ran for Senate here in the state of Indiana,

448
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 6: they had a debate and he said, no, I'm just

449
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 6: not doing that. He was pretty much so cocky and

450
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 6: didn't feel like he needed to tell Hoosiers what his

451
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 6: opinions were on how he would serve as their senator

452
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 6: that he didn't even show up to the debate. Oh,

453
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 6: by the way, he skipped out on a bunch of

454
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 6: votes that the Senate had because he wanted to attend

455
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 6: seapack one year. Yeah, no, you don't get to do that.

456
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 6: You wanted this job, you asked for this job, you

457
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 6: ran for election and won saying please pick me, I

458
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 6: will do a better job at this job, and then

459
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 6: you don't show up for votes because you want to

460
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 6: go to Seapack. No, absolutely not. So when I rip

461
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 6: on people, I always have to make sure that when

462
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 6: they do the right things, I say that as well.

463
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 6: And Jim Banks, he's exactly right on this, and I

464
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 6: appreciate him pushing the Save Act forward. I wish he

465
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 6: would give Senator Thun a little bit more business for

466
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 6: how inactive he has been in this whole process. But

467
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 6: you're exactly right coming out and explaining it very clearly

468
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 6: about how yeah, okay, we've got voter ID here in

469
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 6: the state of Indiana, but California doesn't. And California's got

470
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 6: a ton of illegal aliens there. And oh, by the way,

471
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 6: legal aliens can get driver's licenses in the state of

472
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 6: California and then use that driver's license to then go

473
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 6: ahead and vote. This is a problem, and we've got

474
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 6: a and I thought that was a very clean and

475
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 6: concise way to explain that situation. So good on Jim Banks.

476
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 3: So what they're doing is they're forcing some of these

477
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 3: senators to go on record which way they lean.

478
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: You've got Lisa Murkowski from Alaska.

479
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 3: Didn't even want a debate, she voted nay, didn't even

480
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 3: want to have the conversation. And so you've got so

481
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 3: many people, these Democrats resisting. Eighty five percent of Americans

482
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 3: want this.

483
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is an eighty twenty issue. Eighty percent of

484
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 6: Americans believe in voter ID and yes, Lisa Murkowski, the

485
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 6: Republican from Alaska, voted along with the Democrats to not

486
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 6: move the discussion forward. I'll point out another one too.

487
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 6: Tom Tillis, the Republican Senator for North Carolina, who has

488
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 6: been against the Save Act the entire time, missed the

489
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 6: vote because of quote travel delays.

490
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

491
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 6: I knew they were having this vote last week. We

492
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 6: talked about on the show last week that they were

493
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 6: going to bring this vote on today, Wednesday, the eighteenth.

494
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 6: And Tom Tilla, the Republican Senator of New York who's

495
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 6: been against this, magically had travel delays yesterday.

496
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 2: What was he traveling?

497
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 6: He couldn't make them.

498
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 2: Could have gotten on a train, he could have on

499
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 2: a car.

500
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 6: I could have driven from North Carolina to DC. So

501
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 6: there's two Republicans that you should have absolute disdain for.

502
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 6: Lisa Murkowski who voted against it, and Tom tillis just

503
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 6: just what are we voting today? Do I have to

504
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 6: get on a plane and vote today? I guess I do. Oh,

505
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 6: I missed it.

506
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: So here's Ted Cruz and he's explaining all the other

507
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 3: places that you need to have an ID to do anything.

508
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 8: You need a photo ID to enroll in college. You

509
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 8: need a photo ID to open a bank account. You

510
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 8: need a photo I D to check into a hotel.

511
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 8: It's true, and I gotta admit this is my personal favorite.

512
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 8: You need a photo ID, actually two photo id's to

513
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 8: shovel snow in New York City.

514
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 3: You need a photo ID to buy a case of beer,

515
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: secure elections, requiring verification, providing proof of citizens.

516
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 2: It's pretty state straightforward.

517
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 3: And if they don't get it passed in the Senate,

518
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 3: I would guess that a lot of states are going

519
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 3: to be taking this up on their own.

520
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 2: The debate continued on.

521
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 3: It was a long day of debating, and Alex Padilla,

522
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 3: he's a Democrat, he says that they're going to block

523
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: the Save America Act and they're going to stay.

524
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: There all day and all night, no matter what.

525
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 9: No, So no, we're not going to let it pass.

526
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 9: We're going to fight it too, thin nail, prepared to

527
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 9: stay here all day and all nights, or multiple days

528
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 9: and multiple nights and even multiple weeks if necessary, to

529
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 9: make sure the Save Act suffers the death that it deserves.

530
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 6: Okay, so he's he's going to be a no no,

531
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 6: but you're exactly right about And Jim Banks is right too,

532
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 6: because here's a list of some just horrendously liberal blue

533
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 6: states that don't have a voter ide law. California, Illinois,

534
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 6: Massachusetts with Boston, Minnesota doesn't have one, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont, again,

535
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 6: a bunch of states that, hey, we're doing the right

536
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 6: thing here in Indiana and a lot of other red

537
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 6: states are doing the right thing by requiring id to

538
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 6: get a vote. But all of these states, who, by

539
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 6: the way, some of them have tons of illegal immigrants,

540
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 6: do not have any rules. It seems to be simple.

541
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 6: And I think this is why. You know, there's not

542
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 6: a whole lot of eighty twenty issues in this country.

543
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 6: We're a divided country. We've got different opinions, and that's okay,

544
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 6: but there's a handful of issues where eighty percent of

545
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 6: the of the country agrees with something, and this is

546
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 6: one of those handful of issues. This is going to

547
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 6: make I mean, it's going to make the Democrats look

548
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 6: bad because either they're going to scrub the filibuster, get

549
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 6: rid of the filibuster for this, and they'll pass it

550
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 6: with the Republican votes, or the Democrats are going to grandstand,

551
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 6: they'll do their standing filibuster. They'll slam their hands down

552
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 6: on the table and wave their fists and lag their

553
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 6: fingers at us and tell us how awful this is.

554
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 6: And that's fine, that's perfect, because we're going to use

555
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 6: all of those clips to run against them this November

556
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 6: in the midterms. That's why Thune has to call a vote.

557
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 6: We need everybody on record as to whether or not

558
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 6: they approve of this, and the ones that don't, they

559
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 6: will have a tougher time getting reelection in the midterms.

560
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 3: You know, I got to wonder Tom Tillis saying that

561
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 3: he had travel issues couldn't get there for the debate.

562
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: It really makes me wonder is that a shot at.

563
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 3: DHS funding, Like, because you know, okay, the debate, that's

564
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 3: not as important as actually being there for the vote.

565
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 3: There's is there any other country on earth that welcomes

566
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 3: undocumented people and allows them to choose the government, Like

567
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 3: you enter the country.

568
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 2: Illegally, but then you go ahead and vote on how

569
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: you're governed.

570
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 6: Let me check, Hold on, let me check. No, there's not.

571
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, Americans deserve a government chosen by American citizens.

572
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 3: And you mentioned Senate Leader John Thune and the filibuster.

573
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 3: He was asked the question, why is the filibuster more

574
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: important than stopping illegals from voting? And this was his answer,

575
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 3: why is the why is the filibuster more important than

576
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 3: stopping illegals from voting?

577
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 10: Well, I mean I think that there are many ways

578
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 10: in which you can stop the legals for voting, and

579
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 10: a lot of states have some of those measures already

580
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 10: in place. But I do think the filibuster, or maybe

581
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 10: more specifically, the concept that the founders had for the

582
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 10: United States Senate was that there would be one body

583
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 10: that was majoritarian and one that wasn't. And so they

584
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 10: divided power in a way that enabled the United States Senate,

585
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 10: which we have six year terms, staggered terms, more of

586
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 10: a methodical way about going about solving the country's problems,

587
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 10: and generally in ways that ensure that there are bipartis

588
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 10: and majorities in which to accomplish that.

589
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: So which is more important, saving the filibuster or passing

590
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 3: the Save Act? I would say saving the filibuster.

591
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why I see it. I mean, John Thune

592
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 6: could have just simply said what we all knew in

593
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 6: you know, you know, high school Civics class is the

594
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 6: filibuster is there to save the minority from the tyranny

595
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 6: of the majority. That's what it's there for. Same thing,

596
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 6: by the way as the electoral College. It is to

597
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 6: keep there from being a tyrannical majority. It allows smaller

598
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 6: states in the term of the or in the case

599
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 6: of the electoral College smaller states to have a vote

600
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 6: because we are not necessarily one country, so to speak.

601
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 6: We are fifty different complete states. So that's why it is.

602
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 6: And I agree with you, philibuster, in my opinion, is

603
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 6: more important than the Save Act because it was pretty

604
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 6: smart of the founding fathers to put it in there

605
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 6: so that the majority just didn't run, you know, haphazardly

606
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 6: crazy and take away the rights of the minority in this.

607
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 6: So I'm for it. And because there are other ways

608
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 6: of getting this done. We talked about this. We played

609
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 6: the audio last week from Senator Kennedy who talked about

610
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 6: he is in favor of taking care of this as

611
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 6: part of reconciliation. That is a path to get the

612
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 6: Save Act passed without having to worry about the filibuster.

613
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 6: And even John Kennedy said at the time that it's

614
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 6: unfortunate he's in the minority of the Republican Party that

615
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 6: believes that we should just get this done in that manner.

616
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 3: And if they can take away the filibuster with the

617
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 3: quote nuclear option, who's this said, they just can't bring

618
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 3: it back well same way.

619
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 2: And everybody says once it's gone, it's gone. Forever. Not necessarily.

620
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 6: No, they can bring it back, and we saw this

621
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 6: with the Democrats a few years ago. Look, the Democrats

622
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 6: got rid of the filibuster as it related to approving

623
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 6: judicial appointments. And now that the Republicans have been in control,

624
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 6: I bet the Democrats, especially now that we have a

625
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 6: conservative Supreme Court six to three in favor of the Conservatives,

626
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 6: I bet a lot of those Democrats are pretty angry

627
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 6: at Harry Reid for getting rid of the filibuster when

628
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 6: it comes to judicial appointments.

629
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 3: You're listening to ninety three WIBC, Good morning. Well, the

630
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 3: US loaded up his lineup with big stars and still

631
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 3: came up Sure, it's not only America's pastime.

632
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 2: It is now a global game.

633
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 3: United States came up short in the World Baseball Classic

634
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 3: Championship Game International Baseball Tournament.

635
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 2: So you had Venezuela.

636
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: Took taking the lead two to zero early in the game,

637
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 3: and then the USA they tied it up, but then

638
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 3: Venezuela responded in the ninth inning.

639
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, heartbreaking game, heartbreaking game last night for the US

640
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 6: to lose. But it's been so much fun to watch

641
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 6: the World Baseball Classic. And I think a lot of

642
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 6: that stems from the fact that the players really seem

643
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 6: into it and the fans really seem into it. And

644
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 6: the other part of it too is we're used to

645
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 6: baseball playoffs are like a best of seven series and

646
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 6: so one game, you lose, big deal, We come back

647
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 6: and we play again tomorrow. No, no, no, this is single elimination.

648
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 6: You win in advance, you lose, and you go home.

649
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 6: So Evan, it's like the March Madness basketball tournament. Everything

650
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 6: is on the line for every game, and I think

651
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 6: that's part of what makes it so exciting. And yeah,

652
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 6: I mean just massive stars for the US Aaron Judge

653
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 6: and Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber and Paul Skins and

654
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 6: Pete Crow Armstrong and just a crazy lineup of incredible talent.

655
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 6: And it was a great game last night. All the

656
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 6: games have been very exciting. By the way, it looks

657
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 6: like it's so far been shattering ratings records. Now we

658
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 6: don't have the ratings yet for last night game, going

659
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 6: to take probably at least another day or two for

660
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 6: those to come out, but so far the ratings on

661
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 6: this have been through the roof. Everybody seems to think

662
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 6: that this is just fantastic and it makes sense. This

663
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 6: was kind of started because baseball has not been traditionally

664
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 6: part of the Olympics, the Summer Olympics, and so the

665
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 6: people that run you know, Major League Baseball, man, we

666
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 6: got to do some sort of international competition. So about

667
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 6: twenty years ago they started doing this really in full swing,

668
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 6: and it happens every three years, so we'll get another

669
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 6: shot of it in twenty twenty nine.

670
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 3: Did you see how Team USA arrived at the World

671
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 3: Baseball Classic final using the game used United States men's

672
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 3: national hockey team jerseys.

673
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 6: I did that was pretty cool. Yeah.

674
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they walked in, got you all pumped up for

675
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: the game. They put out a nice video.

676
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, this video is all over social media yesterday. Every

677
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 6: single one of the Team USA players had Team USA

678
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 6: hockey jerseys on, trying to channel that gold metal luck

679
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 6: that we saw from them in the Winter Olympics.

680
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

681
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 3: But you had Venezuela winning at the end first ever

682
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 3: World Baseball Classic championship and it's actually their national sport.

683
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 3: You might think it would be soccer, soccer very popular,

684
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 3: but no, it's actually baseball, and those Venezuelan players just

685
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,239
Speaker 3: played their hearts out they were so into it and

686
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 3: just so excited for their country.

687
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: The celebration afterwards, they were crying.

688
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 3: And hugging, and one thing that I loved seeing for them,

689
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 3: they were screaming and shouting their national anthem at the

690
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 3: end of the game. It wasn't like they weren't just

691
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 3: standing there. They were so into it. They were so

692
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 3: excited to win that game.

693
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 6: Yeah. I love great stories in sports. We talked about

694
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 6: that earlier, about how the Indiana Hoosiers and the national

695
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 6: championship this year was such a great story and captured

696
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 6: the whole nation. I love stories in sports. Even when

697
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 6: my team, Team USA didn't win, I could still appreciate Venezuela.

698
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 6: They've been under communism and tyranny for twenty or thirty years.

699
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 6: We removed their president. They've got some freedom, and here

700
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 6: they won the World Baseball Classic.

701
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 3: By the way, do you know that baseball in Venezuela

702
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 3: originates because of the American workers down there in the

703
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 3: early nineteen hundreds in the oil industry.

704
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 6: We exported baseball.

705
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 3: Nice It's almost full circle, isn't it. You're listening to

706
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 3: ninety three WIBC.

707
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 2: Good morning,
