We're getting ready for a long weekend. 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 2: We're going to head out of town. You know, we 10 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 2: like to get away from politics. 11 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: Every now and then. 12 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: So you know where we're going, Oh, no, where, Washington, DC. 13 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:32,919 Speaker 4: That's what we do. 14 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: We head to the East coast to the Capitol. We've 15 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: got to keep an eye on those people, you know. 16 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 3: They need it. 17 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 2: Let's talk about what's going on with the college programs 18 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 2: that are being eliminated. Hundreds of college programs here in 19 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: Indiana being eliminated. 20 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, So basically, they've done this exhaustive review of what 21 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 3: they call low enrollment degree programs that have very limited 22 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 3: students in them over a three year rolling cycle, and 23 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 3: yesterday they eliminated I think two hundred and ten of them. 24 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 3: There are others that will be monitored or you know, 25 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 3: there are some that are still new, so they're letting 26 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 3: them kind of build up there enrollments, but for the 27 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 3: ones that just don't have very many students, those are 28 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 3: going to the wayside. 29 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: Did any of the university leaders express any concern that 30 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 2: it would disproportionally hurt humanities or arts or fields like that. 31 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 3: No, it seemed pretty collaborative. They had lots of statements 32 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: from all the universities saying, yep, we're on board with this. 33 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 3: I mean, they really didn't have a choice. The legislator 34 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 3: told legislature told them what to do, and to be fair. 35 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 3: You know, I think I initially was like, WHOA, that's 36 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 3: a lot, but you know, I think they said the 37 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 3: ones that are being eliminated I think served only four 38 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 3: percent of the students last year, so you know, most 39 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: many of them had no enrollment period. 40 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 5: And so this was a kind of a big and 41 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 5: important bill this year. I remember during last year's General 42 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 5: Assembly there was a lot of dust up because the 43 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 5: governor can now appoint certain trustees. 44 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 4: To the IU board. Are you seeing and you've been in. 45 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 5: State House a long time, I'm getting the sense that 46 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 5: it seems like the legislators and the governor are taking 47 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 5: a more direct interest in our universities than they historically have. 48 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 4: Is that something that you're seeing as well? 49 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 3: Absolutely, Okay, here far more now about curriculum and governance 50 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 3: than they used to. You know, they've gotten involved in 51 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: tenure and you know, different things like that viewpoint discrimination 52 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 3: and so yeah, this is just another example of that. 53 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 5: And is this just a sense of like, hey, the 54 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 5: state has given you guys millions and millions of dollars 55 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 5: to run these universities. We're going to have a say 56 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 5: in how you operate. Is that kind of the feeling 57 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 5: or the sense you get? 58 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 3: Yep, exactly, And you know they're they're definitely pushing that forward. 59 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: And the second part of you know, this bill was 60 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 3: from twenty twenty five that limited these but now there's 61 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 3: going to be a second review of Now we're going 62 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 3: to look at degrees that sort of like when you 63 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: go out and you graduate, if you can't make at 64 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: least the amount of money that a person who doesn't 65 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 3: who graduates but basically with just a high school degree 66 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 3: would make, then those are going to be on the 67 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 3: shopping block. 68 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 4: Oh that's interesting, there's more coming likely. 69 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: God, yeah, are any of the programs on the eliminationless surprising? 70 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: Because they don't align with future growth industries. 71 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 3: You know, I mean we look through first of all, 72 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: there are hundreds of them, so it's kind of hard 73 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 3: to We just got it, you know, yesterday afternoon we 74 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: looked through and said, no, I mean, there weren't massive ones. 75 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: There do seem to be a lot on regional campuses, 76 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: which I found interesting. You know, obviously a regional campus 77 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: is going to have smaller enrollment, and you do want 78 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 3: to make sure that these regional campuses we have, they're 79 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: in Port Wayne or Indy or you know elsewhere, are 80 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 3: still able to you know, offer up some good programs 81 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 3: that students want, even if it's only you know, a 82 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: smaller number of students. 83 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: Is it your opinion that this is more about budget 84 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 2: efficiency versus an Aisle ideological shift. 85 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say on this one that is true. 86 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, what about the students that are already in these programs, 87 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: what's going to happen with them? 88 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 3: That's a great point. Every student who's currently in a 89 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 3: program will get the opportunity to finish. It's called a 90 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 3: teach out, and that's required, and so no one like 91 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 3: next year, they're not pulling them all. They can't enroll 92 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 3: new students, and so you know, it'll be a couple 93 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 3: of year phase out so that every student who currently 94 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: is majoring in those programs gets to finish their degree. 95 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 2: Nikki Kelly from Indiana Capitol Chronicle is joining us. All right, 96 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 2: let's switch gears and talk about the endorsement from Todd Rokita, 97 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: the Attorney General. 98 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: Who is he backing. 99 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, he backed a challenger, Craig Haggard for the congressional 100 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 3: district for which is his own old seat that he's 101 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: served in for eight years. And so I think it did. 102 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 3: You know, a lot of endorsements are just kind of home, 103 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 3: they're expected, but that one got surmised eyebrows because, you know, 104 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 3: endorsing against, you know, the cittying incumbent who has the 105 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 3: president's endorsement was an interesting move. 106 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 2: And that's not the first time roket has also endorsed 107 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 2: somebody against who Donald Trump has endorsed. 108 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, we have the Liz Brown Darren vote race up 109 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 3: in the Fort Wayne Senate District fifteen too, So he's 110 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 3: come out a few times for people that, you know, 111 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 3: go against the President's endorsement. 112 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: So what do you think that tells us about the 113 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: balance of power inside Indiana's Republican Party. 114 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: Right now, roket is going rogue. 115 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 3: I mean, well, she's always been a little rogue, right, 116 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 3: and I think as the Maga faction of the Republican 117 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 3: Party has grown, he has shifted to that side. You know, Previously, 118 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 3: when he was you know, earlier in his career, I 119 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 3: think he would have been considered very establishments and so 120 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 3: we're definitely seeing that fracture between you know, old school 121 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 3: Indiana establishment Republicans and the so called magat Trump Republicans. 122 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's actually been a lot of dust up on 123 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 5: social media about this, about the fact that Trump has 124 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 5: endorsed certain people and then Todd, Rokeita and even Jim 125 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 5: Banks have endorsed the other person in that. Have either 126 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 5: Banks or Roketa spoken about this because or are we making. 127 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 4: A bigger deal about this than what it actually is. 128 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't seen any comments from them on those 129 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 3: specific endorsements. I mean, other than Todd saying why he 130 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 3: thinks Craig Hackard is the man to support him that race, 131 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 3: and he didn't say anything negative about the income. 132 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: But you know too, he don't say anything positive either. 133 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 3: True. 134 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: How much of this race do you think is going 135 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: to hinge on the national conservative conversation versus district specific 136 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: concerns like ag and veterans and local economic development. 137 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,119 Speaker 3: I mean, the fact is that Jim bar and Craig 138 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: Haggard have a lot of the same philosophies, right, So 139 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: it's really hard to unseat an incumbent congressman. So I 140 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 3: don't expect that to happen, even with a Tabriketa endorsement. 141 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 3: But you know, like I said, minus a scandal, it's 142 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 3: just near impossible. 143 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: Well, it's not like Craig Haggard is an unknown name, 144 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: though he's coming into that with already a little bit 145 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: of name recognition. 146 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 3: Do you think that is the current state reps? 147 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 4: So yeah, right. 148 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: Do you think that Baird's recent accident and recovery became 149 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: part of the political conversation, even indirectly about readiness or continuity? 150 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 3: I don't think so, because Haggard, you know, two years ago, 151 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 3: Haggard was going to run but dropped out at the 152 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: last minute when Baard decided to run again. So he 153 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 3: has shown an interest in that seat for quite a while, 154 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 3: and I think this time came around and he basically 155 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: just said, okay, I'm not going to wait anymore. Like 156 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 3: you know, been there a long time. There has been 157 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 3: a lot of rumors about him not moving forward and 158 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 3: instead to push his son, Represented bou Bairt, to run 159 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 3: in that seat. And so I think Craig Haggard just 160 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 3: decided it's my journ and I'm going to move forward. 161 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the time. 162 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 5: Hey, Nikki, You've been around the State House for so long, 163 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 5: So I always like to kind of get your historical 164 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 5: perspective on this, because my perspective seems like this is 165 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 5: one of the most interesting and unpredictable primaries that we've 166 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 5: seen in a long time, especially on the Republican side, 167 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 5: although there's a little bit on the Democrat side with 168 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 5: Bobai and his race and Destiny Wells challenging Andre Carson. 169 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 5: Do you see this from a historical perspective as being 170 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 5: a much more interesting primary than historically what we've seen. 171 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 3: I would say if you took out the Senate Republican 172 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 3: races that are the redistricting what I'm calling the redistricting races. 173 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: Otherwise without that it would be very normal, got it, 174 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 3: But to see so many primaries against incumbents, and not 175 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 3: just incumbents but long time Republicans. I mean, the idea 176 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 3: that some of these conservatives are being called rhinos is 177 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 3: pretty funny to me, you know, when you're in the 178 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 3: building every day. I watch their votes every day. It's 179 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 3: pretty shocking that some of the people they're calling rhinos. 180 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: Niki Kelly from Indiana Capitol Chronicle is on with us. 181 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: Let's talk about the study about the casino, and the 182 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 2: study says that it would draw big crowds from out 183 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 2: of the state and not take money away from current 184 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: casinos within this state. 185 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think the interesting part of that 186 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 3: Steuben County is trying to position themselves as good if 187 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 3: their referendum goes through, and I think it is a 188 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 3: positive for at least the Gaming Commission to consider when 189 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 3: they make the ultimate decision, that the money would come 190 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 3: from out of state residents more at that location than 191 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 3: down in Fort Wayne or you know, into calb So 192 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 3: because so many people would be coming from Ohio and 193 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 3: Michigan instead of just you know, draining Hoosier pocketbook. 194 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 2: Did your reporting uncover whether this referendum debate is really 195 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 2: about economic development or more about competition among counties for 196 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: state backed investment. 197 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, there are all three of those counties 198 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 3: want that economic development that is going to come with 199 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: the five hundred million dollar investments, you know, which is 200 00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 3: the required investment for whichever person or entity gets the license, 201 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 3: And so they're just trying to put their best foot forward, 202 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 3: you know. But I do think it still remains to 203 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 3: be seen whether I think the general consistencies fort Way 204 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 3: makes the most sense. It has higher traffic as a 205 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 3: very you know, good convention business, tourism, that kind of thing. 206 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 3: But that's the county that I think is the most 207 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 3: up in the air about whether they can actually pass 208 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 3: the referendum. 209 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 5: Nikki, there was a pretty big contingent of people that 210 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 5: really wanted to see a casino in downtown Indianapolis. Obviously 211 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 5: the lawmakers went with Northeast Indiana instead. Are we pretty 212 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 5: much done with new casino licenses for a little bit, 213 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 5: or is there a possibility in the near future that 214 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 5: they could look at adding another one in that group 215 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 5: that wants it in downtown Indy may be able to 216 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 5: end up getting what they're looking at. 217 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this will probably settle it for a bit. 218 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 3: I Mean, the problem with Indianapolis is, yes, it could 219 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 3: make a ton of money, but it would it would 220 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 3: really hurt the business of the two casinos at the 221 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 3: horse Track in Shelby, Billan Anderson, and so you know, 222 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 3: you do have to think of that as a whole. 223 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 3: You know, if you're adding one there, then you're taking 224 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 3: away from existing you know, casinos. And that's why the 225 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 3: Northeast India corner, I think by lawmakers was seen as 226 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 3: a as a better fit because it could cannibalize from 227 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 3: other states and not other existing Indiana operations. 228 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: Nikki, last question you mentioned it, could you know, take 229 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 2: money from other states if the casino strong strongest selling 230 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 2: point is exporting gambling costs you know, from Michigan Ohio 231 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 2: residents or their money actually not costs, but their revenue. 232 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 2: What happens if those states respond with competing developments of 233 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 2: their own. 234 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: Has anybody mentioned that? 235 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 3: I mean Michigan, and I think there's one right across 236 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 3: the Ohio line in that area, so they've already been adding. 237 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: Them pretty there. 238 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's a casino, there's a tribal casino that's 239 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 3: pretty close up there. That's one of the Michigan ones. 240 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 2: So all right, Nikki Kelly, you can find her at 241 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 2: Indiana Capitol Chronicle dot com. 242 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: Thanks for being here. 243 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 3: Thanks guys, Yeah, have. 244 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: A great weekend and happy Easter.

So okay, literally it's the 250 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 5: number one trending thing on Twitter right now. Kirk Cousins 251 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 5: NFL veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins has just been signed by 252 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 5: the Las Vegas Raiders. Now why is that important to 253 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 5: us here at Indiana Mean, well, Fernando Mendoza the draft, 254 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 5: We're just a couple of weeks away from the draft. 255 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 5: He is expected to be the number one overall pick 256 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 5: by the same Las Vegas Raiders. So does this mean 257 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 5: that the Raiders have signed Kurk Cousins to be the 258 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 5: starting quarterback? And you know Fernando Mendoz is going to 259 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 5: start the season on the bench. Is he being signed 260 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 5: to be the in house quarterback mentor to Fernando Mendoza. 261 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 5: These are the questions we don't have answers for because 262 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 5: this literally just happened in the last fifteen or twenty minutes. 263 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: Nobody puts baby in the corner. 264 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 5: Well, they may be putting Fernando Mendoz in the corner, 265 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 5: but it's okay. You know, if they want to start 266 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 5: Fernando on the bench this year and have Kirk Cousins 267 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 5: start the games, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I 268 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 5: think a lot of these rookie quarterbacks get thrown into 269 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 5: the fire way too early when they're not ready, and 270 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 5: that can shake their confidence. But this is definitely going 271 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 5: to be the talk today with Kirk Cousins now being 272 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 5: signed by the Las Vegas Raiders, who I mean, everybody 273 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 5: thinks the Raiders are going to draft Fernando Mendoza. 274 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 4: Probably a good thing. 275 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 5: Good for Fernando Mendoza to have a veteran quarterback and 276 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 5: a very good veteran quarterback as part of the team, 277 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 5: and somebody that he can learn from and somebody that 278 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 5: can show him the ropes of how the NFL works, 279 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 5: both on and off the field. 280 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 4: It's going to be really interesting and it. 281 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 5: Makes that draft coming up in a couple of weeks 282 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 5: even more interesting. 283 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a good cultural fit though 284 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: for Fernando Mendoza. 285 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 5: Ye well, his personality type is so squeaky clean. Doesn't 286 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 5: seem like it matches the culture of the Raiders, which 287 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 5: even before the Raiders moved to Las Vegas, they were 288 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 5: always kind of the bad boys of the NFL and 289 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 5: had a different culture. But now they're in Vegas, in 290 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 5: Sin City even more so, it seems like Fernando Mendoza 291 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 5: is pretty mature. 292 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 4: Seems like he's. 293 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 5: The type of guy that's not going to be going 294 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 5: out to the clubs every night. 295 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: And you know, you can roll with it, you think. 296 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 4: I think he'll. 297 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 5: Probably just you know, watch a lot of film and 298 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 5: stay in the weight room and and live hopefully a nice, quiet, 299 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 5: boring life that focuses on football. 300 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: And when is that draft? 301 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 2: In? 302 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 4: Two weeks? 303 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 5: In fact, I think it's two weeks from today.

And he talked about how he's going to 335 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 5: be going overseas to receive treatment because of privacy. Now 336 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 5: a lot of people are questioning, Okay, is he really 337 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 5: going overseas to receive treatment or is he just going 338 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 5: to hang out in some beautiful island resort for a 339 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 5: month or two and then come back and say that 340 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 5: he got it. Nobody will know that it was interesting. 341 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 5: There was a pretty well known, you know, sports talking 342 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 5: head guy, Chris maddog Russo said yesterday or the day before, 343 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 5: he actually placed the blame on Tiger Woods's fellow golfer 344 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 5: friends and went on the stage a huge rant that 345 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 5: was like, you know, they've got to take some blame 346 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 5: in all of this, and they should have been able 347 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 5: to get in Tiger's head and keep him on the 348 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 5: straight and arrow. That is just a miserable take in 349 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 5: my opinion, because it removed the responsibility of Tiger. 350 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 3: Woo. 351 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 6: Tiger. 352 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 5: Let's let's be clear about all of this. This is 353 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 5: nobody's fault, but Tiger Woods' fault. Take your own personal responsibility. 354 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 5: Not gonna blame the car. You don't get to blame the. 355 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: Pain pills, to get to blame the doctor. 356 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 4: You don't get to blame any of that. 357 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 5: You know, certainly don't get to blame his buddies on 358 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 5: the PGA tour for this personal responsibility. This is Tiger 359 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 5: Woods's fault. He has to bear the consequences and he 360 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 5: has to figure out to go on how he goes 361 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 5: on with his life after this, because this is all 362 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 5: his responsibility, it's not anybody else's. 363 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 4: Well. 364 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: The consequences for him are leaving the country and going 365 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 2: somewhere to get some impatient medical care. 366 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: Of Florida judge allowing him to travel to do that, 367 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 1: he had to get permission to do this. 368 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 5: Well, and that not surprisingly. Look keep in mind, this 369 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 5: is not his first DUI arrest. He's been arrested for 370 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 5: DUI before, so now he is a potential second time 371 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 5: offender in this, and the courts are going to come 372 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 5: down or you would think that the courts would come 373 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 5: down harder on him because you already got your You 374 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 5: already got your once. Fool me wants shame on you, 375 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 5: fool me twice, shame on me. I'm a little surprised 376 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 5: they're letting him travel because of this, especially out of 377 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 5: the country. Although I don't think any reasonable person thinks 378 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 5: that Tiger Woods is a flight risk. 379 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 4: He's gonna go overseas. 380 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: To Asia's not like he's going to blend in. 381 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's not going so well. 382 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: And he owned people know who he is. 383 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 5: He owns so many assets here in the United States, 384 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 5: whether it's all those homes that he owns or anything else. 385 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 5: I don't think that any reasonable judge thinks he's a 386 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 5: flight risk, and so that's probably why they're allowing him 387 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 5: to travel. 388 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 2: Is you know, he said that the reason the accident 389 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,479 Speaker 2: was caused was because he was distracted changing the radio station. 390 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think he was listening to? 391 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,719 Speaker 2: Was he That's a great question to news talk like 392 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 2: was he like, Oh, I want to know what the 393 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 2: opinion is of Casey and Jim right? 394 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 5: Was that the same day that the story broke about 395 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 5: Christine Ohms's husband and. 396 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 4: His photos that were leaked. 397 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 5: Maybe maybe that's what he's a I gotta get the 398 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 5: latest on what happened with Christy Nolans husband. 399 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 2: Was he was he rocking out? Was he like a 400 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 2: classic rock guy? Or anythink Tiger Woods was listening to 401 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 2: country music? 402 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 5: Or Tiger is fifty years old, which means that he 403 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 5: would have grown up in the eighties and nineties. So 404 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 5: I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say that the top forty guy. No, 405 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 5: I'm gonna say Tiger Woods is kind of a hips 406 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 5: He's kind kind of a hair metal guy. He likes 407 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 5: guns n' Roses and Poison, but he also likes Nirvana. 408 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 5: He also likes Nirvana and Jam and the Foo Fighters. 409 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 2: To an alternative music radio and then classic hip hop. 410 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 5: He's into Biggie and Snoop Dogg and Doctor Dre. You 411 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 5: know what, he was probably listening to the chronic from 412 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 5: Doctor Dre. 413 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 4: That's gonna be my guess. 414 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, he was listening to that, and that would fit. 415 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: You're listening to ninety three WIBC. 416 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 4: Far As twenty five. 417 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 6: Four three two one Booster, Ignition and lift Off. 418 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 4: The crew of Artemis two. 419 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 5: Now bound for the Moon, Humanity's next great voyage. 420 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 7: Begins old, ambitious, unifying all of the things, the kind 421 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 7: of project that America still needs. 422 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 2: You don't see a ton of real big goals coming 423 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 2: out of Washington these days, but in NASA's Artemis two 424 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 2: mission is one getting humans around. Going to the Moon 425 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 2: reminds people that the United States still leads in innovation 426 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 2: and exploration, and that is something that resonates across the 427 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 2: political spectrum, young and old. It's not just for space enthusiasts. Heck, 428 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 2: even Senator Mark Kelly was saying that this was a 429 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 2: good thing for the country yesterday when he was talking 430 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 2: about the Moon launch. 431 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't two projects. 432 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 5: He didn't specifically praise Trump, obviously he's been a huge 433 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 5: critic of Donald Trump, but kind of indirectly praised Trump 434 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 5: as being part of this and crewing this. And yeah, 435 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 5: it does seem like there was a sense of national unity, 436 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 5: and it does seem like that there was a sense that, 437 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 5: you know, we are the United States of American. We 438 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 5: can accomplish big things if we want to, and we 439 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 5: can go back to the Moon and hopefully build a 440 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 5: base on the Moon in the coming years. And there 441 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 5: were some Debbie downers on social media yesterday after this. 442 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 5: You know what, We're spending billions of dollars going to 443 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 5: the Moon and we could be spending that money here 444 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 5: to help the poor people, or fix our roads or 445 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 5: you know, bring down the price of things and making 446 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 5: you know, because American life is so unaffordable right now. 447 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 5: And okay, fine, I get that, but look, we have 448 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 5: to do We're Americans. We have to do stuff like this. 449 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 5: Think about it. This country was founded by people who 450 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 5: took a four month boat ride across an ocean with 451 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 5: nothing but their family and an axe, and that's it, 452 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 5: and built this country. And Lewis and Clark moved westward, 453 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 5: and settlers followed them, and we went all the way 454 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 5: to California and discovered this new land and settled this 455 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 5: new land. 456 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 4: This is in our DNA. We have to do things 457 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 4: like this. We are a nation of risk takers. 458 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 5: We are a nation of entrepreneurs, which is certainly risk taking. 459 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 5: I mean, there's not an accident that the most successful 460 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 5: and valuable companies in the world, all of them come 461 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 5: from the United States. 462 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,959 Speaker 4: We are risk takers, we are explorers. This is in 463 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 4: our DNA. We have to do. Think about that. 464 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 5: Think about the type of people that came over, you know, 465 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 5: hundreds of years ago, came over the Atlantic Ocean with 466 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 5: nothing in their hands and built this country. That's sort 467 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 5: of to have that sort of mindset and to take 468 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 5: that sort of risk and see not be the type 469 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 5: of person that says, oh, what could go wrong? What 470 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 5: could go wrong? But instead say what could go right? 471 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 5: What could be our life if we explore and do this. 472 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 5: We are all descendants from those people that is in 473 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 5: our DNA today and we have. 474 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 4: To do things like this. It is part of who 475 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 4: we are. 476 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,239 Speaker 2: And they did it with a twenty percent cut in 477 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 2: the NASA budget. Decades of engineering testing investment. Now my 478 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 2: heart did skip a beat when the TV picture glitched. 479 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if you were watching it on the television. 480 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 2: SpaceX does a much better job of these rocket launches 481 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 2: than NASA seem to do. And as a gen X 482 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 2: I couldn't remove myself from the thoughts of Challenger because 483 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 2: it was the same blue sky, and you know. 484 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 1: I was just oh gosh. And then who they made it? 485 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 2: There a historic mission inspiring Americans, And that's you're right, 486 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 2: it's what we do. We strive for greatness and this 487 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 2: is something that touches the heart of young people, old people. 488 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 2: All of us see the impossible right in front of 489 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 2: our eyes, becoming impossible, becoming possible, and it changes like 490 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 2: your brain, you know, it changes your heart, It changes 491 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 2: the way you view things. And you're right when you 492 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 2: say exploration and going beyond. 493 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: That is what we do as Americans. 494 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, nobody in the world does it better than we do. 495 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 4: And that's just because it's who we are. 496 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 5: Look this country, we have an incredible amount of freedoms, 497 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 5: and you are free to be as successful as you 498 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 5: want to be in this country. And you are free 499 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 5: to fail and be a total disaster. And guess what, 500 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 5: no one's coming to save you either way. The government's 501 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 5: not going to save you. No one is coming to 502 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 5: save you in this country. So we are certainly a 503 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 5: country of risk takers. And I love that launch yesterday. 504 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 5: I'm glad it got tons of media coverage like it did. 505 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 5: There were you know, a lot of stations, even local 506 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 5: TV station across the country that broke into their programming 507 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 5: and cover this. All the cable news stations covered this. 508 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 5: Really just showing that we can do we can do 509 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 5: great things if we want to. 510 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 2: So let's review what the astronauts did before they launched 511 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 2: the Moon. They took part in a long standing tradition 512 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 2: of playing a game of cards. 513 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 6: The pre flight tradition that we have seen with our 514 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 6: crude flights and our astronauts. The card game Nical. 515 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, this is a fun time for the crew, 516 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 8: kind of relax a little bit, play a card game 517 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 8: with the chief. You can see Scott Tingle, there's the 518 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 8: dealer today. Looks like they're playing high card wins. So 519 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,959 Speaker 8: Victor wan he's out, now, Jeremy's out. You know, there 520 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 8: are two schools of thought on this game. Either you 521 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 8: want to get rid of all your bad luck or 522 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 8: go out on a high note. So it looks like 523 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 8: the crew shows were going out on a high note. 524 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, just something, you know, something normal, just a relax. 525 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 2: You're going up the top of this rocket and you're 526 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 2: like a bullet. 527 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: You're going to shoot through the sky. 528 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 2: So let's just bring you back down to earth for 529 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 2: a second, have a little camaraderie and play a game 530 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 2: of cards. 531 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I love that. That's a tradition. 532 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 5: And of course after the launch yesterday, the big story 533 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 5: about the rocket was the fact that the toilet broke, 534 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 5: and this was everywhere yesterday. Well if you think about it, yeah, 535 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 5: this is a pretty big issue. And the Artemis crew 536 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 5: was able to end up fixing the broken toilet, and 537 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 5: of course that caused an incredible number of spectacular jokes 538 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 5: on social media last night. For example, fixing the toilet 539 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 5: might not have been NASA's number one triumph, but it 540 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 5: was certainly number two the flight is off. The flight 541 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 5: is off to a crappy start, and this was an issue, 542 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 5: so six hours into the flight. It was six hours 543 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 5: into the flight before they could fix this malfunctioning toilet, 544 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 5: and one of the astronauts actually had to pee in 545 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 5: a bag in the midtime in the meantime, and then 546 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 5: you had this press conference. 547 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 4: This was a NASA associate. 548 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 5: Their name is Amit Kashari, and they did a press 549 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 5: conference yesterday where they said the word quote Artemis two's 550 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 5: toilet meant that while astronauts could still poop in the toilet, 551 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 5: they couldn't pee in it. Oh, that is an actual quote. 552 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 5: So apparently this could take solid I guess so. But 553 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 5: this was there was a lot going around with this yesterday. 554 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 5: You know, Houston, we have a toilet problem. You know, 555 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 5: you hear the ground control telemetry, Go guidance, go toilet, 556 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 5: no go. 557 00:27:59,560 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 4: There was. 558 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 5: A lot of great jokes around it yesterday. And then 559 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 5: obviously it's important. Hey, I mean I can only imagine, 560 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 5: you know, you go on a long car ride, stop 561 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 5: and go to the bathroom. This is a ten day 562 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 5: long space ride. Obviously this is a problem. But they 563 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 5: do have contingency plans that one astronaut that had to 564 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 5: be before the toilet got fixed had to go in 565 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 5: a NASA approved bag. 566 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 4: Of course it's NASA approved right everything. 567 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 2: So you've got the NASA administrator confirming that the crew 568 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 2: is safe and the spacecraft is performing. 569 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 6: NASA astronauts Comander Read Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist 570 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 6: Christina Coke, and Canadian Space Agency mission specialists Jeremy Hanson 571 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 6: are safe, they're secure, and they're in great spirits. We 572 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 6: will continue to monitor their health and the status as 573 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 6: they as we move into the next phase of the 574 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 6: Artemis two mission. So after a brief fifty four year intermission, 575 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 6: NASA is back in the business of sending astronauts to the. 576 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 5: Do you think do you think there's a space plunger 577 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 5: in the toilet area and what thought about it? And 578 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 5: what's the protocol for that? I mean, there's not a 579 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 5: lot of room there. You've got four grown human beings 580 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 5: and the bathroom like, is there like one of those. 581 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're really close. Oh yeah, is there like a. 582 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 5: Like a glade mister on the back of the toilet 583 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 5: seat or something like that? Right exactly, somebody opens the 584 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 5: door to the bathroom and they're like, you know, Jim 585 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 5: Carrey and Ace Ventura do not go in there. 586 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: Well, what do they eat while they're up there? 587 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 2: No refrigeration or resupply on the mission, so they like 588 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 2: to eat things like barbecue, beef, briscus, yeah, macaroni and cheese, 589 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 2: butternut squash, a tropical fruit salad, and couscous with nuts. 590 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 2: They have over ten different drink options, coffee, green tea, lemonade, 591 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 2: apple cider, and mango peach smoothie. They do get a 592 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 2: few condiments. You could never do it without the condiments, Like, 593 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 2: this is the plainest, most boring food ever. 594 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 5: I am a huge fan of sauces and condiments. 595 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: They have five different hot sauces. 596 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 2: They also have maple syrup, peanut butter, honey, and jam. 597 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 2: And they also take cookies, cake putting in granola up 598 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 2: for dessert. 599 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: But they get to pick. 600 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 2: They get to test and then pick their favorites, and 601 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 2: brisket and tortillas were the top two. Now they use 602 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 2: tortillas because they're not allowed to take bread because the 603 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 2: bread will make crumbs and they can have crumbs floating 604 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 2: around the space ship. 605 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 5: The broken Toileti was probably like you know what, Probably 606 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 5: it was a bad idea to have breakfast burritos for 607 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 5: the astronauts this morning. Hey, do you remember being a kid, 608 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 5: there was a candy that you could get that was 609 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 5: called like space ice cream? Do you remember that it 610 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 5: was essentially dehydrat or freeze dried ice cream. 611 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 4: You don't remember that. 612 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: I don't remember that. 613 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 614 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 4: Oh, I used to buy it all the time, and 615 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 4: it came in like this foil wrapped piece. 616 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: I feel like you were an astronaut. 617 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 4: You did feel like you were an astronaut. 618 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 5: And it was dehydrated or freeze dried ice cream, and 619 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 5: so it was hard and crunchy, but once you broke 620 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 5: off a piece and put it in your mouth, it 621 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 5: would oddly start to get creamy and taste like ice cream. 622 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 4: I can't remember. 623 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 5: I can't believe you don't remember Space ice cream in 624 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 5: the candy section when you were kid. 625 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 2: I know that you could never be an astronaut based 626 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 2: on the no crumbs allowed, the bread and no crumbs. 627 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,959 Speaker 5: Look, we all have our certain issues, and I do 628 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 5: enjoy food. I love food. Some would call me. 629 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 4: A messy eater. I would just call me normal. 630 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,959 Speaker 2: Some might say that some might say that President Trump 631 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 2: congratulated the NASA astronauts on their launch of Artemis two. 632 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 9: My fellow Americans, good evening. Let me begin by congratulating 633 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 9: the team at NASA and Brave Astronauts on the successful 634 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 9: launch of Artimists two. It was quite something. It would 635 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 9: be traveling further than any manned rocket has ever flown 636 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,719 Speaker 9: and will very substantially pass the Moon, go around it, 637 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 9: and come back home from a distance that has never 638 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 9: been done before. It's amazing. 639 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: It was amazing, and that's not hyperbole. It literally is amazing. 640 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: Think about that. In the same day, which happened to 641 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: be April Fool's Day. 642 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you have the President more or less spike in 643 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 2: the football on Operation Epic Fury. He tiptoed right up 644 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 2: to that line. He didn't say exactly it's over, we won, 645 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 2: but he was pretty darn close. The same day that 646 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 2: that happened, we send humans farther in space than ever before. 647 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. 648 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 5: Look, and there's the conspiracy theories about whether or not 649 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 5: we landed on the Moon in the sixties have never 650 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 5: been stronger than they are right now. And of course, 651 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 5: if you're on social media, those conspiracy theories can. 652 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 4: Sometimes be really loud. 653 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 5: I think NASA scheduling this launch on April Fool. 654 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 4: Day didn't help with it.
