1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Whenever I see stories about the roads, I always remember

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan, and her platform that

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: she ran on was fix the damn roads.

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: That was actually her campaign line, fix the damn road,

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: the damn roads.

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 3: And then what did she do? She didn't fix the

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 3: damn ditin fix the damn roads. Yeah. Yeah.

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 4: So there has been a new survey that has come

9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 4: out and this is from Overdrive. This is the twenty

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 4: twenty five Truckers Highway report Card. They surveyed six hundred

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 4: truck drivers and owner operators of trucks and they were

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 4: asking who has the worst roads in America?

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 3: Guess what? Kids where number one? Yes? Here where number one? Yeah.

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 4: So Gretchen Whimer from Michigan may have ran on fixing

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 4: the damn roads, but maybe Governor Brown should pick up

16
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 4: that mantle, because thirty two percent of those surveyed named

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 4: Indiana as having the worst roads in the United States.

18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 4: And they were very specific as well. They named the

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 4: top problematic roots in Indiana.

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: Al I bet you can guess one of them.

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: Seventy Yes, it is just traveled on it over the weekend.

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: Very familiar with how bad seventy Is, and you knew.

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: Exactly when you entered Indiana.

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: We were driving from Saint Louis back to Indianapolis, and

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: I looked at you. I was driving. I looked at you.

26
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: I go, have we crossed the state line?

27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: Yet?

28
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: You're like, no, the roads are too nice. And fifteen

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: minutes later we crossed the state line and boom, you

30
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: hit that little bump and it was my tires were nothing.

31
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, the whole rest of the world.

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 4: I feel the need to apologize every time we go

33
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: over those bumps or those potholes. Oh I'm sorry, Oh gosh,

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 4: I apologize. I paid my taxes, I'm sorry for this.

35
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 4: They're just not being used properly.

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: It should be the politicians are the ones that are apologized.

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: I know, but I was apologizing on their behalf.

38
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: The other roads that are not in great shape in Indiana,

39
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 4: according to the survey sixty five and also eighty, which

40
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: I find suspect because you pay a toll to be

41
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 4: on eighty.

42
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 3: You'd think that they would keep that in better rush.

43
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: If one thing has been proven correct, it's that the

44
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: amount of money that you spend to fix roads does

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: not correlate to having fixed roads. We've got one of

46
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: the highest gas taxes in the entire country. Yet this

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: survey just came out and said we got the worst

48
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 2: roads in.

49
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: The entire country.

50
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: So some of the truck driver quotes, they described the

51
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: travel from Indianapolis to Ohio as unbearable.

52
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: I've been there. I would agree with that.
