1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: Hammer and Nigel You believe these characters are weirdos. Oh

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: my name is Nigel Jason and him are right over there.

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: Indiana's Attorney General Todd Raketa calling for Donald Trump to

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: bring the National Guard into Indy to help combat crime

5
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: specific pockets of the inner city here in Indianapolis.

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: Right, and I take that to mean parts of the

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: East Side, parts of downtown and wherever these stupid street

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: takeovers are taking place. Those are still happening. And look,

9
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: the IMPD officers are doing the best they can. They're

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: out there doing God's work. I know this because one

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 2: gave me a speeding ticket this morning.

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 3: But they don't really.

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I gotta know more about that. Sorry, go

14
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: ahead though, no, he he was in the right. You know,

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: the crime has been uh handled of the speeding car

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: of the southwest side.

17
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 3: It's been rectified.

18
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: But let's go back to these street takeovers in other

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: areas of real crime that's taking place. Look, the IMPD

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: is doing the best they can, but the fact of

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: the matter is their numbers are still down.

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: So in terms of recruiting in retation, I would.

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:28,279
Speaker 2: Rather have the IMBD officers focusing on the entire city

24
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: than just one specific area. But I don't think they

25
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: have the manpower to do that. So Todd Raketa wants

26
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: the Trump plan. Okay, but the problem is Nige. We've

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: talked to the governor about this.

28
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 3: That's right.

29
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 2: He came in studio and told us that I don't

30
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: think that's something that the state of Indiana is interested

31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: in because it's not about whether or not we've got

32
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: the officers, because he talked about bringing in the state police.

33
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: It's about the prosecutor here.

34
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: Your police are doing the job. I think it's a

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 4: prosecutor's issue. So the difference here would be just like

36
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 4: when we were able to on that July fourth weekend

37
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 4: with a quick response, have our own state police come in.

38
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 4: That probably makes unnecessary our own National Guard are needing

39
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 4: help from anywhere, and I feel quite good about what

40
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 4: we're doing with law enforcement. They're probably in as good

41
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: a mood as they've been across the state because.

42
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 3: We're enabling them, we're backing them, and.

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 4: If we get issues that get out of hand, I've

44
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 4: got state police that are ready to help IMPD and

45
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 4: they know they can ask us for that help.

46
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm good with both. If you don't like that to

47
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: answer if it's kind of a squish answer, Hey, I

48
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: could have used the National Guard here in the summer

49
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty and that didn't happen. No, And well

50
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: maybe they protected some monuments or something like that, or

51
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: the governor's mansion or something.

52
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: Governor Braun just so everybody, yes, yes.

53
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I understand that was Hulcombe. I'm good

54
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: with both. I don't know how effective the National Guard

55
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: could have been with the shooting downtown at the nightclub

56
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: over the weekend hammer, but with these street takeovers and

57
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: several things happening around different specific areas around downtown Indy. Yeah, maybe, sure.

58
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to it. I'm not opposed to it.

59
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: But Governor Braun seems to think, yeah, between the IMPD

60
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: and state police, we got this.

61
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: And it's not a matter of whether or not you

62
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: can arrest these people. Certainly we can as a city

63
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: as a police department. But can you keep the violent criminals?

64
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: Can you keep these habitual pain in the asses locked up?

65
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: That's the issue. Can you prosecute them? Because you've got

66
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: a prosecutor right now in Marion County that's more interested

67
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: in running for mayor. You've got a prosecutor that's more

68
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: like a public defender coming up with excuses as to

69
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: why he's offering sweetheart deal after sweetheart deal. Until you

70
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: fix that problem, nothing's going to change.

71
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: Really.

72
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: What did County Sheriff Grady Judd say to us yesterday

73
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: to help solve some of the crime here in Indy?

74
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: Lock up bad guys.

75
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 2: Now, kind of summarizing his take there, No, but that's no.

76
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: That was it, lock up to bad guys and leave

77
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: him in there and don't give him sweetheart plea deals

78
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: and it hands the bail. That's pretty simple.

79
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: Now.

80
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: I will say this, if you can find a way

81
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: to incorporate federal prosecutors, if you could spin this into

82
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: a way where it becomes a federal issue, that would

83
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: be great. But there's legal stuff involved with that, right.

84
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: You can't be bringing in federal prosecutors if it's not

85
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: a federal issue, and that's where Donald Trump would have

86
00:04:59,680 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: to come in.

87
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: Do you think it's interesting that that Todd Rakeeda, the

88
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: Attorney General, is saying, yeah, no bringing the national Guard,

89
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: and Governor Braun is saying on our show, now, we

90
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: don't need the national Guard at this point. That's too

91
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: juxtaposing like two different opinions.

92
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: There is Governor Braun Ripe for a primary.

93
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: That's what a lot of people are thinking with Todd

94
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: Rakeeda coming out with this statement. Now, I don't know,

95
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: but that's some of the feedback we've received. Is Todd

96
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: Rakeeda laying the groundwork to look like he's really tough

97
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: on crime and is he potentially thinking about a run

98
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 2: for the governor's seat here in India.

99
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: I don't think that's crossed Rakkeeda's mind at all at

100
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: one point or another.

101
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's out there in the social media,

102
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 2: you know, Twitter sphere if you will.

103
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: That's one of the things.

104
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: Now, I have invited the Attorney General to come on

105
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: this program. He's traveling today, so maybe in the next

106
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: couple of days we can get him on here. We'll

107
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: talk about this statement, we'll play back that same audio

108
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: that the governor told us about why it's probably not

109
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 2: going to happen, and we'll ask him flat out, hey, has.

110
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: Running for the governor ever crossed your mind?

111
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: Once we get him back on the program, we'll ask

112
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: all of those questions
