1
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: It is time to discuss who won the week as

2
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: we wrap up the show on this Friday, it is

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: Casey and Jim, thanks for being here. Before we can

4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: determine who won the week, we have to talk about

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: who lost the week, who were the big losers, And

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: right off the bat, I have to start out with

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: Senate Majority Leader John Thune. He did not win the week.

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: Lots of pushback even from his own party for not

9
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: fully aligning with Donald Trump on every issue, especially when

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: it comes to the Save America Act.

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got one job as Senate Minority Leader for

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: the for the most part, and that is to get

13
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 2: the rest of the people in your party to line

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: up behind your legislative agenda. And the Save Act is

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: an eighty twenty issue where the Republicans are on the

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: right side of it. It is extremely important to Donald Trump,

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: and John Thune is still fumbling around trying to to

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: get all the Republicans on board with voting for this

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: much less the Democrats. Look, we know the Democrats are

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: going to be against this, they're out of their minds.

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: But John Thune can't even get the Republicans to be

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: on board with that. And that's why he is on

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: the list of being one of the losers of the

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: week this week.

25
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: Generally seen as a policy focused institutionalist rather than an

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: ideological firebrand, but that moderation is probably why he's getting

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: some of this criticism. It's like, do it or get

28
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: off the pod.

29
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: Well, this is how bad things are people are talking about.

30
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: Maybe the idea of making jd Vance the majority leader

31
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: in the Senate, which has precedent, hasn't happened in a

32
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: couple hundred years, but it has precedent. That's how bad

33
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: of a job John Thune is doing.

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: Also on the loser's list, You've got the Las Vegas Raiders.

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 3: This was a big sports story.

36
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: So they've got a huge and powerful defensive end named

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: Max Crosby. There was this blockbuster trade where they sent

38
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: him to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for a couple

39
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: of first round picks, and the Baltimore Ravens did their

40
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: physical on him and he did not pass the physical

41
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: hikes and that means the trade is off.

42
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: And the worst part about.

43
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: That is all these other NFL teams were making all

44
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: these trades while this transition was trying to process, and

45
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: now all the great players are pretty much signed to

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: be traded, and now Max Crosby's back on the Raiders

47
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: and they got to figure out what they're going to

48
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: do with them. The Las Vegas Raiders took it on

49
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: the chin this week.

50
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: Horrible week. Fro Why didn't he pass this physical?

51
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: He had a meniscus injury in one of his knees,

52
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: and that is part of every single NFL trade.

53
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: There's a physical that's part of it.

54
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: And the Ravens didn't like what they saw and they

55
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: canceled the trade, and they're within their right to do that,

56
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: and it was a big mess for the Raiders.

57
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: Also on the losers list this week pretty much all

58
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: of US car owners.

59
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm right now.

60
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: I've got the Triple A website pulled up right now,

61
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: and the current average price per gallon of gas in

62
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: the state of Indiana's three dollars and forty seven cents,

63
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: and nine days ago it was two dollars and eighty

64
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: five cents, so almost a seventy cent increase in just

65
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: over a week and a half.

66
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

67
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: So with the price of oil going up, the price

68
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: of gas is going up, and of course all of

69
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: US car owners were feeling it, and that's not even

70
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: to mention the cost of owning and maintaining the car.

71
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: That's expensive as well in your insurance too, And those

72
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: numbers just look like they're going to keep on rising. Finally,

73
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: another person or organization that lost the week, Live Nation,

74
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: being accused of using monopoly power to dominate ticketing and

75
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: concert promotion, leading to higher prices and also limited competition.

76
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: And also the internal messages from employees revealing in court

77
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: that some of their staff was joking about overcharging and

78
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: robbing ticket buyers with high fees. That has definitely fueled

79
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: some public outrage against that company. So Live Nation loser.

80
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's one of the quotes.

81
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: This is from a Live Nation employee, who by the way,

82
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: owns Ticketmaster as well. These people are so stupid. I

83
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: almost feel bad for taking advantage of them, and that's

84
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: why they settled with the Department of Justice for a

85
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty million dollar penalty.

86
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: All right, we've got to do rapid round of who

87
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: won the week.

88
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: Our contenders include Travis Kelcey announcing that after fourteen years

89
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: he's not done yet, still going to be playing football

90
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: for the Kansas City Chiefs and got himself a brand

91
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: ambassador position for amusement parks.

92
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, surprising that he's coming back for another season in

93
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: the NFL.

94
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: Another winner of the week also NFL, Daniel Jones from

95
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts.

96
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he got it.

97
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: Paid eighty eight million dollars in two years, forty four

98
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: million a year. I think the Colts might be the

99
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 2: losers on that, but the Daniel Jones definitely the winner.

100
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Daniel Jones.

101
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm confident I'll be ready to go. I think

102
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: my goal was to be ready for week one.

103
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: You know.

104
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 4: With that being said, I understand it is a process

105
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 4: and there's there's a lot of work to do, you know,

106
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 4: and you know I'm ready to do it. So I've

107
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: got to continue to, like I said, check the boxes

108
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: progress as the doctors and and pts and you know,

109
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 4: everybody instructs me and my jobs to do the work

110
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 4: and make sure I'm I'm consistent with that. So that's

111
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: what I'll do. And I think if I continue to

112
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 4: do that and progress, I should be.

113
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 3: Ready to go.

114
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: Another winner on the list for this week who won

115
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: the week locally, Greg Ballard dominating the news running for

116
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: Indiana Secretary of State introducing the Lincoln Party. And we

117
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: have to crown our winner. Yeah, winner of the week.

118
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: Jack Paul right getting an endorsement for a political office

119
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: from Donald Trump.

120
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: He's not even running for office.

121
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,559
Speaker 2: Trump is already endorsing Jake Paul for his political future.

122
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: Jack Paul won the week, and so did you. Thank
