1 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 1: Good morning. It is Jacy's Gymi's ninety three WIBC and 2 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: we turned now to the WIBC hotline, and on it 3 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: we have Nicki Kelly from Indiana Capitol Chronicle. Nikki, we 4 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: have to start with the big announcement coming out of 5 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: Governor Mike Brown's office yesterday, and that is the Indiana 6 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: sales gas tax on hold tell us about it. 7 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, And to be clear, because lots of people are 8 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 2: getting confused, we're talking about a thirty day pot on 9 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: the sales tax on gas, which is different than the 10 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 2: gas test. So you know, this is an additional seventeen 11 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: cents that who's yours pay when they buy gas per gallon. 12 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: That's the April rate and that will be suspended for 13 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: thirty days, so you could save I don't know, twob 14 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: up if you fill up for ted gallin. 15 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: Were you there when he made the announcement. Were you 16 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: at the press conference? 17 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: I was not. I was speaking at a class. We 18 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 2: got less than an hour's notice on that one. So 19 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 2: another reporter of ours was there. 20 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Well that okay, So that makes me question, did you 21 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: guys know this was coming? Was there any indication that 22 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 1: this was going to happen. 23 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 2: Nope, definitely popped up kind of as a surprise yesterday, 24 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: I mean, and then it was interesting. We got the 25 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: notice of the announcement and then immediately got deluged with 26 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: a bunch of Senate Republicans urging the governor to suspend 27 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: the sales tax on gas. And so obviously it was 28 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: coordinated under. 29 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: What authority can the governor do this? Because statutorily, the 30 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 3: governor in the state of Indiana is fairly weak. He 31 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: didn't have to go to the lawmakers on this. How 32 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,639 Speaker 3: is Mike Brown just able to wave a magic wand 33 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 3: and say, hey, the sales tex on gas is gone. 34 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 35 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: So there is a law that allows the governor to 36 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: declare an energy emergency. It's a nineteen eighty one statute. 37 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: It's the statute that Governor Obandon used in two thousands 38 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: to do this, and so that's what he's using. It's 39 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 2: a very it's not specific. If people think it says 40 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: you can suspend the sales tax on gas, it doesn't 41 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: basically says you can spend any rule or law that 42 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 2: affects transportation. So it's pretty wide. And because of that phrasing, 43 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting that the governor said he 44 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: can't suspend the gas tax, which is higher thirty six cents, 45 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 2: but he can sustend the sales tax. I would you know, 46 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: I'm not a lawyer, but I would sort of disagree 47 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: on that because if it says any law, then it's 48 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: any law. Right, you're using that as the basis for 49 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: one I don't know why it wouldn't be the basis 50 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: for another. 51 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, because that was going to be my next question 52 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 3: is to you know, can he is that just you know, 53 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 3: narrowly written to just apply to the sales tax. But 54 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 3: that's not the case. But it sounds like Governor Brown 55 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 3: is just kind of interpreting this law however he wants, 56 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: or at least in this specific manner. 57 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, And to be fair, you know, back in two 58 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 2: thousand and seven, then Governor Mitch Daniels was getting pressure 59 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: to do this, and he got an opinion from the 60 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 2: Attorney General's office at the time that said he didn't 61 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: have the authority to do it. So, you know, that's 62 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: a non binding opinion. But it was a Republican It 63 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 2: was Steve Carter's office at the time, but it was 64 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: written by Greg Zeller, who later became the Attorney general. 65 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: So I mean, it's not as clear cut because, like 66 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: you said, it doesn't specifically say you can suspend this tax. 67 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: It's a much wider thing. And I will also note 68 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: that there is a definition of an energy emergency in 69 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 2: the law. It's very specific and it says basically an 70 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: ongoing or projected shortage of eight percent or more in fuel. 71 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: And we asked him about, like, like, where's your source 72 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: that we have this eight percent shortage? He basically just 73 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: talked a lot about inflation and high prices. So, you know, 74 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 2: I'm not exactly sure we meet that. At least they 75 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: haven't provided a source of that. 76 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 3: So since there is some legal ambiguity here, it seems 77 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 3: like and like you said, Governor Daniels, you know did 78 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 3: see some restrictions in this before. At least that's what 79 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 3: the Attorney General at the time told him. I can't 80 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: imagine this is the case, but I'll ask anyway, are 81 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: any Democrats or anybody else talking about challenging this authority 82 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 3: that Governor Brown used yesterday but possibly in court? 83 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, that probably wouldn't be popular. Democrats aren't going to 84 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: challenge it because they have wanted them to do this 85 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 2: way more than. I mean, Republicans have been the ones 86 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 2: who pushed back against this over the years. Prior to now, 87 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 2: only a Democrat had done it, you know, so they 88 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,679 Speaker 2: want the lower prices. They do think the timing thirty 89 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 2: days out from an election is very interesting. But yeah, 90 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: and you know, if someone could try to sue but 91 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 2: that would be quite an interesting you know. Uh, you know, 92 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: you'd be you'd be pretty unpopular. I think if you 93 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 2: did that. 94 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: I want to go back to something that you said originally, 95 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: and that is that you got inundated with the legislature 96 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: sending out messages that they were encouraging the governor to 97 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: do this. Where did this begin? Was it the governor's 98 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: office or was it the senators? 99 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: Oh? I mean I think it was probably the governor's office. 100 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 2: I mean he was asked about this weeks ago and 101 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 2: said he would look into it. So I'm sure we 102 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 2: got out that he was getting ready to announce it, 103 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: and they wanted to sort of all jump on. Most 104 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: of the releases came from UH candidates or lawmakers who 105 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: are in tight primaries right now, and many of them 106 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: are getting hit for their vote to increase the gas 107 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 2: you know, almost a decade ago, so this was, you know, 108 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: maybe seen as a good thing for them. 109 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: What's going to happen politically if prices remain high after 110 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: thirty days and then Braun chooses not to extend it. 111 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an interesting discussion. I think when Governor abandaged it, 112 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: he did it for one hundred and twenty days, which 113 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: was quite a lot. I think by law the governor 114 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: can only do back to back. He can only do 115 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: two before the legislature would have to get involved, so 116 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: you know, but that would be after the election, right, 117 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: because this conveniently runs through May eighth. 118 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, conveniently. Nikki Kelly from Indiana Capitol Chronicle is joining us. 119 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: All right. The other topic that you wanted to talk 120 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: about were taxes, Nito, what's on your mind? Oh? 121 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: No, I was just looking at other things that were 122 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: moving and we they the Department of Revenue finally announced 123 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: next tax amnesty program for who years who owe state 124 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 2: tax is to kind of pay them upfront or through 125 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 2: payment programs and they'll waive the fees or interests or penalties. 126 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: So that'll be interesting. That would bring in some one 127 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: time money to state coffers. Who knows, maybe enough to 128 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: cover the loss of the gas tax revenue. 129 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: Do we know how much that is going to be 130 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: that loss of that revenue. 131 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, so the governor estimated that it would be about 132 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: fifty million for the month. I had looked at some 133 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 2: revenue that came in from the twenty twenty five tax 134 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: Handbook and it says only eighty one million came in 135 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 2: for the whole fiscal year in twenty twenty five. Now, 136 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: mind you, those are lower prices and this is percentage based. 137 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 2: So yeah, but their estimate was fifty million. 138 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: It's not just the taxes that are due on April fifteenth. 139 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: We also have the Indiana FAFSA deadline coming up. 140 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: Oh yes, the Federal Financial Student A, the application that 141 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: all students now have to do. Theoretically you can opt out, 142 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 2: but you know, technically you're supposed to do it, or 143 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: you can't graduate, but they can get that. 144 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: Do we know how much state aid is going to 145 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: be left on the table if students miss the deadline? 146 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 2: Well, it's not only state aid, this is federal aid, right, 147 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 2: you know too, And so that that's the point of 148 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 2: people trying to get all students to fill it out 149 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: because you don't exactly know what your options are until 150 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: you fill it out and see what you could maybe get. 151 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 2: And they also encourage, like, if you're kind of on 152 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: the fence about what you're doing, so better to at 153 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: least have that option, you know, handled, before you to 154 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 2: forego it completely. 155 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 3: Hey, Nikki, I want to back up to something you 156 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 3: said about FATSA, and it relates to everybody having to 157 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 3: fill it out, not just those that are interested in 158 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 3: applying for grants or loans from the federal government. Has 159 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 3: that always been the case or is that something new, 160 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 3: because that's the first time I've heard that. 161 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, lawmakers changed it a few years ago. I think 162 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: this is the second year that it's tied to graduation. 163 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 2: But again, I mean, if you ask for a waiver 164 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: and opt out, you can, but it at least starts 165 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 2: with the presumption that everyone has to fill it out. 166 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 2: I think last year, I mean, I think the goals 167 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 2: like fifty five or sixty percent, So we'll see if 168 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 2: we get there. 169 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: How does the deadline affect first generation college students differently 170 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: from higher income families. 171 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not sure it does technically, except obviously 172 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: higher income families wouldn't be eligible for some of the 173 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 2: need based scholarships. But in general, the process is the same. 174 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 3: Okay. And so because this new rule that came out 175 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 3: in the last couple of years that requires everybody to 176 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 3: fill this out, is this something that college students need 177 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: to fill out every single year or is this just 178 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: something for like freshman year. 179 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 2: No, you need to fill it out every year because 180 00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 2: your family's financial status can change. That's true back in 181 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 2: my day, you know, so definitely. 182 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: Okay. One last thing that I wanted to talk with 183 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: you about. It's Nicki Keller from Indiana Capital Chronicle. You 184 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: had mentioned yesterday that you were going to put out 185 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: a new article about some more Trump endorsements. 186 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, so he is getting a little further involved in 187 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 2: some of the races. Basically, he had previously endorsed I 188 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: think seven of the Senate Republicans, he'd endorsed a couple 189 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: more that are facing fights. Those are the ones who 190 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 2: voted against redistricting, so he's endorsing their challengers. He also 191 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: moved into the House a little and endorsed ten House 192 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 2: members who have challengers, but they were pro redistricting. So 193 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: he's kind of doing both. 194 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: So everybody's saying, oh, he's just endorsing the people that 195 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: were against redistricting. That's not holding water. 196 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: Well, I mean for redistricting or against you or those 197 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: who were against Yeah, basically is on both sides of 198 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: the ball now. But the end result is if you 199 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: work for redistricting, you get his nod. 200 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: Okay, what else are you working on? What can you 201 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: tell us about? 202 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: Let's see, we have an interesting ethics commissioned agenda today. 203 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 2: We'll be going to and looking at some changes in 204 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: charity gaming, so you probably see those in the next 205 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 2: couple of days. 206 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: All right, you can find everything in Indiana Capitol Chronicle 207 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: dot com. Nikki Kelly, thank you so much. We appreciate you. 208 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: All right, thanks, have a good one. It is ninety 209 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: three WIBC, the most prestigious restaurant guide in the world, 210 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: the one where a single star changes a restaurant's trajectory. 211 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: Is recognizing Indianapolis as a serious food city. This is 212 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: not a small thing for restaurants. This is decades of 213 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: chefs and restauranteurs and food culture builders getting the national 214 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: validation that they've earned. There is a catch, and we'll 215 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: get to that in just a second. So Michelin Guide 216 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: is coming to Indianapolis for the first time. It's part 217 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: of a new Great Lakes Regional Guide, which includes Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, 218 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh. And you know those Michelin Stars. They are 219 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: one of the most prestigious awards in food. It could 220 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: bring national attention and tourism to Indy's food scene. Now, 221 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: this is how it works. You have anonymous inspectors. They're 222 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: already visiting restaurants right now. They come in and they 223 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: have a meal at the restaurant, and they decide how 224 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: good the food and service and ambiance and vibe all 225 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: of it is, and then the restaurant can earn between 226 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: one and three Michelin Stars based on the quality. The 227 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: first selected Michelin restaurant will be announced in twenty twenty seven. 228 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: Here's the catch. 229 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 3: Wow, Okay. 230 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: Visit Indy has been partnering with Michelin for three year 231 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: and they've been paying about one hundred and fifty thousand 232 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: dollars this last year to help launch it. So you 233 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: got to pay to play. 234 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, isn't that truth with everything? But yeah, 235 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: these Michelin Stars for restaurants, this is a big deal. 236 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 3: If you ever watched the TV show The Bear, there 237 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 3: was that was a lot about this. He worked at 238 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 3: a Michelin Star restaurant. It was very fancy. In case 239 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 3: I remember the scenes, he's like using tweezers to put 240 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: little bits of herbs on the meal plate and it's 241 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 3: all very you know, precise and fancy, and that's kind 242 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 3: of what it is. But in the foodie world, which 243 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 3: by the way, you know, the idea of traveling someplace 244 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 3: just to do a food tour in that state or 245 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 3: that city is becoming a bigger, bigger thing with people, 246 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 3: and so the type of restaurants that you have in 247 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 3: your town can really attract a lot of tourism. And 248 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 3: so the fact that now Indianapolis is being considered for 249 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 3: Michelin Star restaurants is kind of a big deal because 250 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 3: right now it's pretty much only California, New York, d C, Florida, Colorado, 251 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 3: and Texas for the most part. So the fact that 252 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 3: we're getting in on that game is kind of a 253 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 3: big deal and is going to highlight you know, hopefully 254 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 3: we'll get a restaurant in the city of Indianapolis that 255 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 3: will end up getting at least one Michelin Star. And 256 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 3: that's going to be a big deal and highlight our 257 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 3: restaurant scene here in town. 258 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: Now little boost reputation also attracts some visitors indies food 259 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: scene getting some national recognition. We played a Dave Portnoy 260 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: pizza review for you the other day. 261 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he was in town for the Final four 262 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 3: and did some pizza review right right. 263 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: So now you've got Indies's food scene simultaneously at the 264 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: street level and as well as a high culture recognition 265 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: with the Michelin Star, all in the same month. So 266 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: that tells me that the Indianapolis food scene is genuinely 267 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: having a moment right now. 268 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, And look, I consider myself kind of a foodie, 269 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 3: although I'm a little bit of a weird foodie because 270 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 3: I love I love junk food and fast food too, 271 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 3: but I also like, you know, the fancy foodie stuff. 272 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 3: I've never been to a Michelin Star restaurant. They're pretty 273 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 3: tough find, in fact, there's only they're. 274 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: Even harder to get a reservation. 275 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: To, very difficult. In fact, as of right now, there 276 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 3: are only two hundred and seventy six restaurants in the 277 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 3: United States that have at least one Michelin Star. That's 278 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 3: think about the hundreds of thousands of restaurants all across 279 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 3: the fifty states in this country. There's only two hundred 280 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 3: and seventy six that currently have a Michelin Star. And 281 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 3: by the way, just because you get one doesn't mean 282 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 3: you keep it forever. You've got to re earn it 283 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 3: all the time. And so there's plenty of restaurants out 284 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 3: there that are former Michelin starred restaurants but don't currently 285 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 3: have one. 286 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: Good for India getting some recognition. But let's not pretend 287 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: that this was purely organic. There's a check involved. Speaking 288 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: of restaurants, Hoosiers tip extremely well at restaurants. New survey 289 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: went out and the fourth quarter of twenty twenty five, 290 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: Indiana diners among the best tippers in the Midwest, with 291 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: the average tip at twenty point six percent. The national 292 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: average is nineteen point two percent. So we're over tipping 293 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: our neighbors. 294 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, and what's interesting about this is, you know, I'm 295 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 3: looking at the Axios Indianapolis as a story about this, 296 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 3: and they've got actually a really good map of all 297 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 3: fifty states and you can lay it all out there, 298 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 3: and yeah, you see a lot of other Midwest states 299 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 3: that are good tippers. Wisconsin, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, 300 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 3: all very good tippers. What I found interesting on this 301 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 3: some of the worst tippers in the entire in the 302 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 3: entire country. Yeah, California, California, what is supposed to be, 303 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 3: you know, the liberal bastion of America, California, the riches 304 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 3: of California, tech billionaires in California, run by Liberals and 305 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 3: Democrats for decades and decades. They're there for the working man, 306 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 3: aren't they. The Democrats are all about the work. And yeah, no, 307 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 3: you tip like garbage in California. Absolutely terrible. One of 308 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 3: the other terrible tipping states was also another horrifically liberal 309 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 3: state in the state of Washington too, both terrible. 310 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: So people can debate tip flation all you want, but 311 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: here in Indiana, we're putting our money literally where our 312 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: mouth is and generously tipping. Speaking of dinner, I wonder 313 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: if you know your boss at work, your manager who 314 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: always wants you to review the pitch deck, do you 315 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: think that they use corporate speak at home, like when 316 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: they're with their spouse and they're trying to determine what 317 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: they're going to have for dinner. Where they want to 318 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: go out to eat. If they did, this might be 319 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: the result. 320 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 4: Hey, I'm starving. Can we align on our dinner strategy 321 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 4: for this evening? 322 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 3: Sure? What's your go for preference? 323 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 4: I have no strong directional bias. 324 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 3: Do you want to narrow down a vertical. 325 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 4: Honestly, I'm comfortable with any solution. 326 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 3: You know what, I'll just procure us some fried chicken. 327 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 4: Wait, fried chicken doesn't align with my current nutritional roadmap. 328 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 3: Then maybe you can suggest something that features a more 329 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 3: health focused result. 330 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 4: I don't want to do a deep dive.

We say I 364 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 3: don't like the optics of that one. 365 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: We're going to get to an unintentional bio break coming up. 366 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: But first you've got you know what I'm talking But 367 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: first we've got Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, launching a 368 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:29,719 Speaker 1: new podcast. It's called The Secretary Kennedy Podcast and it 369 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: is set to debut next week. It's officially connected to 370 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: the Department of Health and Human Services and it's branded 371 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: as a government linked show. Kennedy says that they will 372 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: address public health topics like chronic disease, nutrition, food quality, 373 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: and also healthcare costs. 374 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 5: We're going to follow the evidence wherever it leaves, and 375 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 5: we're going to name the names of the forces that 376 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 5: obstruct the past the public health. This isn't going to 377 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 5: be about politics. It's about our families, about our children, 378 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 5: and it's about confronting the spiritual ballets. 379 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 3: And embracing the truth. 380 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 5: If we want a healthy nation, we have to confront 381 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 5: the lies that a man is spiritually, morally, and physically sick. 382 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 5: The time for half measures is now over. We're launching 383 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 5: a new era of radical transparency in government here at HHS. 384 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 5: I hope you'll join us in our mission to make 385 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 5: America healthy again. 386 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: So you've got a sitting HHS secretary launching a podcast 387 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: promising to tell uncomfortable truths that's either going to be 388 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: very transparent, possibly the most transparent government communication strategy or 389 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: the beginning of a very interesting legal and political saga. 390 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, this one will be pretty interesting. There was a 391 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 3: big write up about this story on CNN's website, and 392 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 3: it's kind of funny because, of course, what does CNN 393 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 3: immediately do. They crap all over the idea. They're like, well, 394 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 3: he wants transparency, and they immediately follow it with but 395 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 3: he's controversial and a potential misinformation risk. And look, there's 396 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 3: nothing that the mainstream media hates more than independent voices, 397 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 3: you know, potentially encroaching on their ability to craft the narrative. 398 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 3: We saw this during the twenty twenty four election and 399 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 3: even well before, people like Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn 400 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 3: and Andrew Schultz and all those big podcasters had Trump 401 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 3: on their on their on their podcast and endorsed Trump. Uh, 402 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 3: you know, you saw the mainstream media craping all over 403 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 3: those podcasters because that's one thing that that CNN hates. 404 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 3: They hate independent voices. They hate somebody else that's going 405 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 3: to be out there that might end up being disruptive 406 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 3: to the narrative that CNN wants to push forward. 407 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: So when you get a judge blocking your own policies. 408 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: What do you double down and you create a podcast? 409 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: Is that pr problem solving? Here's the one thing. And 410 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: I know he has health issues, which is why his 411 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: voice is like that. I can't imagine listening to three 412 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: hours of that voice. 413 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no fault of his own right. 414 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: He can't help it. But those those are not golden pipes. 415 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 3: No. Well, in fact, he's very difficult and painful to 416 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 3: listen to. So yeah, unfortunately it's Robert F. Kennedy Junior 417 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 3: that's going to be doing a podcast, not somebody like 418 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 3: Marco Rubio, who seems to be really easy to listen to. 419 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 3: I can listen to Marco Rubio talk all day. 420 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: Maybe he'll just launch up questions and let his guests do. 421 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 3: It if they're smarting. If they're smart, that would be 422 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 3: the way to do it. He'll be the face of it, 423 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 3: but somebody else will do most of the talking. 424 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: You are listening to Casey and Jim. It is ninety 425 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: three WIBC. 426 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 6: Today, I am directing the Department to establish the National 427 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 6: Fraud Detention Center. This Fraud Detention Center will be a 428 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 6: permanent prosecutor led multi agency data analytics team working to 429 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 6: ferret out the most harmful actors to frauding. 430 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 3: Federal government programs. 431 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 6: So to the frausters who seek to take advantage of 432 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 6: our nation, let this be a warning. The Department will 433 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 6: investigate you, we will charge you with crimes, and we 434 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 6: will ensure that you are for your actions. 435 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: There you have the Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche saying 436 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: that he's directing the DFJ to establish a National Fraud 437 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: Detention Center. Okay, so they are institutionalizing the crackdown. This 438 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: is not just prosecuting individual cases, but building now the 439 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 1: infrastructure to go against people who are stealing from taxpayers 440 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: and have been for decades. 441 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 3: This is good to step in the right direction. I'll 442 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 3: give Acting DOJ Lee Head Todd Blanche a Acting Attorney General. 443 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 3: I thank you, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. You know, 444 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 3: nice pat on the back of this. But like we 445 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 3: talked about earlier on the show, we need to see 446 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 3: some action at some point in time. It can't be 447 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 3: just committees and meetings. And we've got a plan to 448 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 3: do this and I hope to do this. We've had 449 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 3: the Somali daycare fraud, We've had the recent issue with 450 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 3: all that hospice fraud that looks like it happened in California, 451 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 3: which looked which kind of puts the Somali daycare fraud 452 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 3: to shame by its scope and the amount of money 453 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 3: that could have been lost in California. At some point 454 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 3: in time, the DOJ needs to put some people in jail. 455 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 3: That's what we need. So Todd Blanche, great on you. 456 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 3: I like this good move in the right direction, but 457 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 3: you got to put some people in jail for stale 458 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 3: and stealing the taxpayers moneys because it's been billions and 459 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 3: billions that have been wasted. 460 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: As part of the Initiative ninety three, additional prosecutors from 461 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: US Attorney's offices across the country are going to focus 462 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: on fraud cases. This includes healthcare, tax benefits and also 463 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: corporate fraud. Blanche says that the DOJ currently has more 464 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: than eight thousand fraud investigations underway, and it involves fraud 465 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: that potentially steals hundreds of billions or even over a 466 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: trillion dollars in taxpayer funds annually. At that number, they're 467 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: going to indeed a waiting line like get your ticket 468 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: for your fraud. 469 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 3: Well, it should be pretty easy then if there's so 470 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 3: much of it going on, should be pretty easy to 471 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 3: find somebody and put them in jail, and finally somebody's 472 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,239 Speaker 3: at least moving the ball in the right direction here. 473 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 3: I mean, what did we hear about COVID and all 474 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 3: the fraud that took place with the COVID money that 475 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 3: was thrown out there, Medicare and Medicaid fraud, government money disappearing. 476 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 3: This has been going on at what seems like an 477 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 3: accelerating rate for years and years and years now it 478 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 3: just seems like nobody is being held accountable for it. 479 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,719 Speaker 3: I'm fingers crossed that that's the direction we're going in 480 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 3: with this new detention center. 481 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: So here he is again talking about how the DOJ 482 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: is going to hold criminals accountabill. 483 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 6: The Department of Justice is holding criminals accountable for stealing 484 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 6: over half a billion dollars from taxpayers and across our 485 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 6: US attorney's offices all over this country, we currently have 486 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 6: over eight thousand fraud matters underway. Unfortunately, as you've heard 487 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 6: a lot about recently, because it's true, these cases represent 488 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 6: a fraction of the fraud ripping off our country every day. 489 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 6: Thanks to leadership of President Trump, this department, working closely 490 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 6: with the Task Force to eliminate fraud, is supercharging efforts 491 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 6: to take down every fraud ster and bring them to justice. 492 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: So one of the things that they're doing is they're 493 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: trying to consolidate already existing DOJ fraud units and they 494 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: want to use data analytics and other resources so that 495 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 1: they can prosecute fraud more aggressively. Like they're trying to 496 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,959 Speaker 1: streamline the process and get a more central location so 497 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: that they can get the job done. 498 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 3: Bucker, I'm glad that we're putting a focus on this shoot. 499 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 3: It was two weeks ago we had that audio from 500 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 3: Vice President j. D Vance talking about that the fact 501 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 3: that he just learned that the DOJ had a policy 502 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 3: that they didn't even investigate fraud if it wasn't over 503 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 3: a million and a half dollars, I mean, not even 504 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 3: looking at it at that point in time. And and 505 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 3: Vance at the time said he seemed like it was 506 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 3: pretty surprised in it. So this is a great move 507 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 3: for Todd blanche. You know, Trump obviously pushed Pam Bondi out. 508 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,479 Speaker 3: This is a good start for Todd Blane, even though 509 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,719 Speaker 3: he's acting head of the DOJ. There are a lot 510 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 3: of people that are pushing for him to be in 511 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 3: a more permanent role in that department. 512 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: Here he is again, in this time he's talking about 513 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: specific dollar amounts. 514 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 6: Every day, Department of Justice investigators and prosecutors work to 515 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 6: punish those who commit fraud. For example, just this week, 516 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 6: and it's only Tuesday, a criminal defendant was sentenced and 517 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 6: the Department obtained two additional guilty pleas in matters totaling 518 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 6: over half a billion dollars in healthcare and COVID fraud. 519 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 6: If you think about that, just since yesterday, we had 520 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 6: a guilty plea and one hundred and sixty million dollar 521 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 6: healthcare enrollment fraud scheme, and a sentencing and one hundred 522 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 6: million dollar COVID nineteen fraud, and a guilty plea and 523 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 6: one hundred and sixty million dollar health care fraud scheme 524 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 6: as well. Each of these cases represents countless hours of 525 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 6: dedication from the prosecutors and the federal agents and local 526 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 6: law enforcement who work them. The Department of Justice is 527 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 6: holding criminals accountable for stealing over half a billion dollars 528 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 6: from taxpayers, and across our US attorney's offices all over 529 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 6: this country, we currently have over eight thousand fraud matters underway. 530 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, good do it. It's being framed as a more 531 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: coordinated crackdown on fraud stirs that are targeting government programs 532 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: and the task Force tasks Force. They include the Vice 533 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: President JD. Vance. I mean, think about that. He said, 534 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty million in one scheme, one hundred 535 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: million in another, one hundred and sixty million in another 536 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: in one week. So at that pace, the DOJ is 537 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: going to recover more in fraud conviction than Indiana's entire 538 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: annual budget before summer even hits. 539 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred million here, one hundred million there. Before 540 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 3: you know it, we're starting to talk about real mind here. No, 541 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 3: what I think frustrates so many American people and certainly me, 542 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 3: is obviously this fraud is out of control. It's ridiculous. 543 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 3: It goes well into the tens and tens of billions 544 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 3: of dollars, and that's awful. But what is so frustrating 545 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 3: about it is we still have the politicians and by 546 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 3: the way, Republicans do this too, politicians with their handouts 547 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 3: saying we need more of your money, we need more 548 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 3: of your tax dollars, give me more of your tax dollars. 549 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,959 Speaker 3: Whether it's for roads or whether it's for this or that, 550 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. It always seems like every politician needs 551 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 3: more of our tax dollars. Meanwhile, this seems to be 552 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 3: like the first move in the right direction as it 553 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 3: relates to any of this fraud. Meanwhile, tens and tens 554 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 3: of billions of dollars in waste, fraud and abuse have 555 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 3: been going out the door. Those are our tax dollars too. 556 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 3: So my pitch has always been, get your house in 557 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 3: order before you come back to me with your handout 558 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 3: asking for more taxpayer dollars. We just had the story 559 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 3: that was in the Wall Street Journal that talked about waste, 560 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 3: fraud and abuse as it relates to medicaid here in 561 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 3: the state of Indiana. And again we're talking about millions 562 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 3: and millions of dollars. Yet what did the Republicans in 563 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 3: this state do last year? Raised your taxes by a 564 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 3: billion dollars a billion dollars. Get the fraud house in 565 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 3: order first before you ever come back to me looking 566 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 3: for more of my tax dollars. Because the one thing 567 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 3: that both Democrats and Republicans going to agree on, the 568 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 3: one thing they love spending your money. 569 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: You said get your fraud house in order. I thought 570 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: you were going to say something else. Made my heart skip. 571 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 3: A peeple before the end of the show is over, 572 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 3: I may say something. You never know. 573 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: Well, let's hope it's not just a political talking point 574 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: dressed up as enforcement and they actually do something with this. 575 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: Speaking of enforcement, Pam Bondi uh is apparently not going 576 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: to be talking to the House Oversight Committee. She won't 577 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: be testifying in the handling of the release of the 578 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: files related to Jeffrey Epstein. She's not going to appear. 579 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, this was something that you and I am The 580 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 3: minute we heard that Pam Bondi was out. 581 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: I had a couple theories on this, one being that 582 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: she won't have to testify. 583 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 3: And that's the reason for the timing of Trump removing her. 584 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 3: Let go keep her from being forced to testify. The theory. 585 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: The other theory that I had because it was announced 586 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: that she was going to be going to the private sector, 587 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump even said a very important job with 588 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: a private sector like it was he already having her 589 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: get some sort of defense created for when Democrats try 590 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: to impeach him again. 591 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 3: Both of those are totally reasonable theories because, believe me, 592 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 3: if the Democrats take the House in the November midterms 593 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 3: coming up here in seven months, you can just about 594 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 3: take it to the bank. They're going to vote to 595 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 3: impeach Donald Trump. Now, keep in mind, the House votes 596 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 3: to impeach, that doesn't mean Trump is removed. They've got 597 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 3: to get two thirds vote in the Senate during the 598 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 3: trial cources portion of the impeachment process to actually remove Trump. 599 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 3: You don't see any scenario where that ends up taking place. 600 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 3: But if the Democrats get the House again and they 601 00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 3: end up impeaching Donald Trump, it's going to be a 602 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 3: man some distraction and a bunch of bs, just like 603 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 3: it was the last two times that the Democrats impeached 604 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 3: Donald Trump. So yeah, totally reasonable working theory that she 605 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 3: may be going to the private sector and potentially starting 606 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 3: the defense work of that's Trump. That's just and also 607 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 3: a good theory that the timing of Trump removing her 608 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 3: as the head of the DOJ coincided with the fact 609 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 3: that she had this testimony coming up in Congress. Now, 610 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 3: I have heard some Democrats that have pushed back and said, no, 611 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 3: we still want to subpoena her anyway, so it'll be 612 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 3: I don't think this is the final word on this. 613 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 3: I think there's still going to be a fight as 614 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 3: to whether or not she's going to have to step 615 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 3: up in front of Congress and answer some questions even 616 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 3: though she's no longer the head of the DOJ. 617 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, some people are saying that she's trying to avoid 618 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: accountability or just outlast the investigation, and they're claiming others 619 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: are saying it no, sorry, the subpoena no longer applies. 620 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: Now somebody else is going to be testifying before the 621 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee on June tenth, and that is Bill 622 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: Gates and air co founder of Microsoft. He is now 623 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: also part of this investigation. The committee is going to 624 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: conduct a closed door transcribed interview which are on the 625 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: record and under oath, but not a public hearing. 626 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, so there'll be no video, unlike the Clinton's when 627 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 3: they testified about this and the House Subcommittee. You know, 628 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 3: we saw the video clips that were released of both 629 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 3: Bill and Hillary that came out from that. This will 630 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 3: not have video, but we hopefully will get the release 631 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 3: of the transcripts of that. And like you said, again, 632 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 3: this is under oath. Seems like this is all we've 633 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 3: got left as it relates to the Epstein files, which 634 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 3: is frustrating as hell for all of us on this 635 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 3: because it seems like nobody in this country is being 636 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 3: held accountable and the likelihood of people being taken to 637 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 3: court for this is unlikely. So the next best thing 638 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 3: we have get them under oath, find out what they know. 639 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: So you've got Bondie in April, maybe Howard Lutnik in May, 640 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: Bill Gates in June. Somebody has been very busy building 641 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: a deliberate calendar of witnesses. It's all a bunch of crap, 642 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: isn't it. Speaking of which accidental bow leakage. 643 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,879 Speaker 3: You have my attention, is. 644 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: Apparently more common than most people think. It happens to 645 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: one in seven people. Are you part of the SYP club? 646 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 3: No one? No one in regularly? Is this expert doctor 647 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 3: that we heard said this one in seven people? Regularly? 648 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,280 Speaker 1: It's an embarrassing bathroom accident that does not always happen 649 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 1: in the bathroom. 650 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 7: Sometimes people complain about a lot of urgency, like they're 651 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 7: just interrupted by they're at work, they're out with friends, 652 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 7: and suddenly, out of nowhere, they have to go to 653 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 7: the boat and they have to do it now. There 654 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 7: are a lot of people. One out of seven people, Okay, 655 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 7: I want to just internalize this number. One out of 656 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 7: seven people poop their pants regularly in America regularly. 657 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: One of the most. 658 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 7: Common things that people come to my complaining about is 659 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 7: that they struggle to have a bowel movement, and that 660 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 7: can mean a lot of different things. Some people can say, 661 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 7: I go to the bathroom every single day, Great, but 662 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 7: it takes me twenty minutes.
