1
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: How do you fix the ticking financial time, Bob? Do

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: you do it with speeches? Do you do it with

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: an expert commission? Social Security is going to go broke

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: in a few years. What should the lawmakers be doing?

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: There is one woman who says that we need a

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: Social Security commission. Her name is Maya McGinnis and she

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: is the president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Well,

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: that sounds like an important position, and she has argued

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: that America needs a Social Security commission.

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 2: Are headed towards insolvency social Security in particular, it's going

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: to be insolvent in six years. This is an unconscionable

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: situation that we found ourselves in. And yet the conversation

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: still continues to be people competing not to do anything

14
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: to fix the program, with some important exceptions. But I

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: will say that the ARP that says it focuses on

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: protecting seniors is one of the organizations that actively opposes

17
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 2: any changes to fix it, and it tries to intimidate

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: members whenever they start to talk about those changes.

19
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: Okay, so social Security we know facing real financial crisis.

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: The program's retirement trust fund, it's projected to run out

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: of money within about seven years unless Congress does something.

22
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: And you know, we've heard repeated warnings and analysis, but

23
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: lawmakers are just kicking this can down the road. We've

24
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: heard Donald Trump say that he's, you know, not going

25
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: to let it fail. However, we're talking about the same

26
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: Congress who can't even pass the Save Act, which eighty

27
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: percent of people want done.

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: Right right, can't even get all the Republicans on board

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: with the Save Act. This is I'm not hopeful that

30
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: we can solve this problem, but I know if we want.

31
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 4: To do we could. And here's here's let's start with.

32
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: You know, part of the big problem is the American

33
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: people think, oh, I paid this money, that's my money.

34
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 4: I should get it back. Yeah, that's not how it works.

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: The Congress has been raiding the Social Security Trust Fund

36
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: for generations. It's all co mingled essentially with the rest

37
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: of the budget and the rest of the finances of

38
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: the federal government. And by the way, it's not your

39
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: money because if you pass away before you collect, social

40
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: Security gets what your estate gets zero, absolutely nothing out

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: of it. So it's really not your money. It's the

42
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: government's taking your money to do whatever they want with

43
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: and Social Security is just one of the things they

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 3: spend it on as opposed to anything else.

45
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: But I think a commission, I'm not.

46
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: Hopeful that they could fix something in this, but it's

47
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 3: probably the only root because can you imagine if Donald

48
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: Trump came out with a social security plan. Make up

49
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: whatever plan you want, don't care what the plan is.

50
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 3: If Donald Trump came out with a social security plan,

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: you better believe that every single one of the Democrats

52
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 3: would line up on the other side of it and

53
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: rail against how Donald Trump is trying to kill your grandmother.

54
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 3: That would be the rhetoric that would come out of this.

55
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: And we saw what this happened before we were able

56
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: to actually fix social.

57
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: Security in the eighties. It was called the Green Span Commission.

58
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: It was pretty smart, and they basically looked at this

59
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: and said, okay, there's two ways to fix this. We

60
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: can either bring more money in. We do that by

61
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: raising taxes, or we can spend less money, which is

62
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: either raise the retirement age or reduce what the payout

63
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: of Social Security is. And the smart thing that they

64
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: did they said, okay, we're going to do both because

65
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 3: that way we'll make sure that both sides have to

66
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 3: give something up in this process, and so the green

67
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: Span Commission raised the full retirement age slowly, it was

68
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: incorporated over decades the changes in the retirement age. And

69
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: then they also raised the amount of taxes. And I

70
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 3: think that that's the only way that this is going

71
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: to get fixed going forward is probably again slowly over time,

72
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: raising the full retirement age. And then I think if

73
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: you remove the cap on Social Security, I think you

74
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: only pay Social Security up to one hundred I think

75
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: this year it's about one hundred and ninety thousand dollars

76
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: in earnings. So if you make more than one hundred

77
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: ninety thousand dollars a year, anything after that one hundred

78
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: and ninety k, you don't pay Social Security on. And

79
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: by the way, your employer doesn't pay their portion of

80
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: the Social Security on. So I think that's what you've

81
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: got to do. If you truly want to fix this,

82
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: you need to go at both ends. You need to

83
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: find a way to increase the money coming into Social

84
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: Security and also find a way by reducing what you're

85
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: paying to Social Security and raising the retirement age would.

86
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: Certainly do that well.

87
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: This woman believes that there needs to be a formal

88
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: Social Security commission, and that would bring lawmakers together to

89
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: analyze and also recommend fix this nice job. By the way,

90
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: you just offered a solution that rarely happens. Many people

91
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: just like to complain and moan about things, but never

92
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: offer for a solution. So props to you for that.

93
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: But you're talking about putting these people together establish a

94
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: bipartisan commission. And again, even if you do that, what

95
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: is going to get done? Well, most likely nothing.

96
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 4: Probably nothing. It's probably nothing.

97
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: But the only way it could work is if you

98
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 3: get like say, four Democrats and four Republicans who are

99
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: really passionate about this project, and they come to some

100
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: sort of rough outline and agreement. Well, then it's then

101
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 3: those four Democrats.

102
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: It's not party particular.

103
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: Well, then those four Democrats are charged with going back

104
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 3: to the rest of the Democrats in Congress and selling

105
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: them on the fact that this is something we need

106
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 3: to do. And then those four Republicans got to go

107
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: to the Republicans and sell the Republicans on the fact

108
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: that this is what we need to do.

109
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 4: That's probably the only way it's going to work.

110
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: But I agree with you, the likelihood of anybody being

111
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: able to pull it off is next to zero. And

112
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: and by the way, social Security may go insolvent on paper,

113
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: but Grandma is still going to get her social Security check.

114
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 3: Don't worry about that, because, like anything else, the government

115
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: will just print more money. They will print more money

116
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: and cover this. I'm not saying that's a good solution.

117
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: It's a terrible solution.

118
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: But it's what's going to happen.

119
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: But if nothing happens, and by the way, that's likely

120
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: that nothing happens. If nothing happens, that will be the

121
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: end result of that. The government will just print more money.

122
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: Oh and by the way, that means we'll have more inflation.

123
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: And speaking of just printing more money, we're running a

124
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: two trillion dollar deficit every year. And that's like living

125
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: on your credit card forever. The US federal budget deficit

126
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: more than one point eight trillion in twenty twenty six,

127
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: already over one trillion dollars in the first five months

128
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: of the fiscal year. So you've got the Congressional Budget

129
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: Office and they say it's expected to grow by more

130
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: than three trillion by twenty thirty six. And you've got

131
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: some budget watch dogs. They warn that the deficits obviously

132
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: they're not sustainable for long term without spending cuts or

133
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: revenue increases. Revenue increases that that's more taxes.

134
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's that's a fancy term.

135
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: It's a nice way of saying, trusting you more money.

136
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 3: Fancy word for I'm going to take more of your money.

137
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 3: This is and I think we catch some flack on

138
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: the show and maybe some other shows on this station

139
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 3: for not towing the Republican line all the time and

140
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: for pushing back against Republicans when they're not doing what

141
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: they say they're going to do. And I think this

142
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: is at the core of it right here, as conservatives,

143
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: as Republicans, as part of the Republican Party platform, both

144
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: in this state and.

145
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: At the federal level.

146
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: The core of it is fiscal conservatism, reduced spending, reduced taxes.

147
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: And then what happens every single time Republicans get in

148
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: power and spend your money just like their Democrats.

149
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 4: I give you twenty Uniparty twenty twenty.

150
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 3: Five as the example, fresh off of the twenty twenty

151
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: four election. The Republicans have the House, Republicans have the Senate.

152
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: Donald Trump comes into presidency with a great approval rating,

153
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: and what did they spend all of that political capital

154
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: on the biggest thing that they did last year, passing

155
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: the Big Beautiful Bill. And the Big Beautiful Bill was

156
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: nothing more than, by the way, not only Biden level spending,

157
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: but an additional five trillion dollars on top of that. Oh,

158
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: the debt's going to grow by a ton beyond that.

159
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: Oh if we just did nothing, didn't pass the Big

160
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: Beautiful Bill, sure we're gonna put trillions on the national debt.

161
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: But by passing the Big Beautiful Bill, we put another

162
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: five trillion dollars on the national debt. This is at

163
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: its core what I think most Republicans have the biggest

164
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 3: frustration about their party, saying that they are fiscal conservatives

165
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: and then getting in power and spending like Democrats, and

166
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: they do it every single time.

167
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: Interest on the debt is projected to more than double,

168
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: topping two trillion per year by the mid twenty thirties.

169
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: And if we don't get it under I feel like

170
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm Ran Paul. We don't get it under control. Now,

171
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: you're just stacking bills for your kids and your grandkids.

172
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: It's not free. It means more debt, more interest, and

173
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: less economic opportunity. Down the road. You're spending away are

174
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: children's future.

175
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: And we've seen the damage that inflation causes to an

176
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: entire society. And look, I get that, there's a whole

177
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: generation that doesn't remember the out of control inflation from

178
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 3: the late seventies in the early eighties. Okay, fine, I

179
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: get that. Well, we all just went through it five,

180
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: four or five years ago, and we saw how awful

181
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: inflation was and how it made living in this country

182
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 3: un a four for just millions and millions and millions

183
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: of people.

184
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 4: That is the only way out of this.

185
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: That's the only way out of this, because we're at

186
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: the point now where we really can't grow ourselves at

187
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 3: least reasonably expect to grow ourselves out of this debt.

188
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: We know that nobody's going to.

189
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 3: Stop spending money. Democrats love spending your money. Republicans love

190
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: spending your money. The last tool that we're left with

191
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: printing more money. They'll just keep printing more money, and

192
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: the more money they print, the higher inflation will have.

193
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: And we've just seen how high inflation can be so

194
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: devastating to the working people of this country.

195
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard about this, but there

196
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: was a major cyber attack. It hits Striker, which is

197
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: a US based medical technology company and they're based in Cork, Ireland.

198
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: Security experts believe the attack happened on March eleventh, just yesterday,

199
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: And so what does that mean, Well, you had a

200
00:09:53,760 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: global network disruption affecting a lot of medical devices. So

201
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: when you're talking modern warfare, this time it's digital.

202
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was kind of a surprising story that came

203
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 3: out yesterday. And Striker's got a pretty big presence up

204
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: in Northern Indiana here. And one of the interesting things

205
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: that I found out about this, and I think this

206
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: is something that everybody in the workforce today can relate to.

207
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 3: So they basically they disrupted pretty much every aspect of

208
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: Striker's IT infrastructure and as far as it reaches. But

209
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 3: we heard a lot of reports from Striker employees who

210
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 3: use things like personal phones personal laptops for work, and

211
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: somehow the hackers were able to get into that and

212
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 3: completely wipe and again these are just reports right now,

213
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 3: but completely wipe all of the data off of their

214
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: personal phones and personal laptops. So I think that that's

215
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 3: I was fascinated by that aspect of it, and I

216
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: think that's going to be an interesting conversation that's going

217
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 3: to be happening at workplaces all around the country today,

218
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 3: is Hey, I thought I was being a good employee

219
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: here and you know, using my personal phone and my

220
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 3: personal laptop to access company data. But if you can't

221
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 3: protect me from that, I might not be using my

222
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: phone for work stuff anymore.

223
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: Well, not only attacking the company, it also I mean,

224
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: they make life saving medical equipment. It's not just attacking

225
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: a business. At that point, you could be potentially slowing

226
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: down hospitals and also supply chains that people rely on

227
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: every single day. It doesn't just become an IT problem.

228
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: It becomes a health problem and also a national security risk.

229
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

230
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 3: And up until now, when we hear about corporations getting hacked,

231
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 3: it's generally, you know, somebody in you know, Iceland or

232
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: Russia and they're trying to hold it ransom for a

233
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: bitcoin transfer, and those can be pretty devastating. This is

234
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: completely different. This is a state sponsored hacking event that

235
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: took place here in the United States, and that's going

236
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 3: to be at a different level, And so far it

237
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 3: seems like it's at a different level because it wasn't

238
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: just holding data for hostage. It was just completely wiping

239
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 3: out data and destroying their entire IT infrastructure.

240
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: You're listening to ninety three wibc Oh, this is a

241
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: good one complay radio. It's time for my new favorite segment,

242
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: What's Your Problem?

243
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: Got a lot of problems with you people. What's your problem, Casey?

244
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: You want to know what my problem is you? My

245
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: problem is that six years ago today, we woke up

246
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: to a completely different world. Now, six years later, fifty

247
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: six percent of Americans believe COVID shots caused mass deaths.

248
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: In the past six years, We've had zero election fraud arrests,

249
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: zero COVID arrests, zero deep state arrests, zero auto pen arrests.

250
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: What did we get? We got lockdowns, we got stay

251
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: at home orders, we got school closures, we got limits

252
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: on large gatherings, dramatically altering our daily life. We still

253
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: have inflation that we're paying for. Six years ago didn't

254
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: just mark a healthcare crisis. It marked a complete shift

255
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: in how governments interact with citizens.

256
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 5: Well, tonight has been postponed.

257
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 4: You are also.

258
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 5: Can take your time in leaving the arena tonight and

259
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 5: do so in an orderly fashion. Thank you for coming

260
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 5: out tonight. We are all safe, and you convinced that.

261
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 5: Okayseythuther dot com for updates on upcoming games.

262
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: Porto is closed. Travel was halted everyday, freedoms were restricted,

263
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: and it happened overnight. And now it's worth asking how

264
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: future responses are going to react. I believe next week

265
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Jimerit join us with his h his

266
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: recent study on lessons that we learned from that disastrous time.

267
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

268
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: You and I talked about this yesterday and you said

269
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 3: to me, You're like, hey, you know, we should really

270
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 3: do this kind of COVID look back. It's the sixth anniversary.

271
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: And my initial reaction is a God, no, I don't

272
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: have any interest in reliving anything and remembering anything that

273
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 3: happened in COVID. And then I started thinking about it

274
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 3: and I was like, no, no, no, no, I'm still angry.

275
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: I'm still really angry. I mean the number of people

276
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 3: that lost their jobs because they weren't given the vaccine,

277
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: The number of businesses that were forced to closed and

278
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: will never ever reopen. Liquor stores were allowed open, but

279
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 3: your church that was closed.

280
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, get the vaccine or lose your job.

281
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 3: The number of elderly and others that died alone because

282
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 3: of lockdowns, and people weren't allowed to be with them,

283
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: either in the hospital, in the narth or in the

284
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 3: nursing home. Just I mean, if you didn't get the vaccine,

285
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: there was talk that you should not be allowed any

286
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: sort of healthcare if you didn't get the vaccine. Oh,

287
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 3: by the way, there was even talk that if you

288
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: don't get the vaccine, we may come and take your

289
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 3: kids away.

290
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 4: That was the kind of things that we saw.

291
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 3: Billions and billions of fraud from COVID money. It was

292
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 3: we destroyed an entire generation's education because of the way

293
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: we shut down the schools.

294
00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 4: And remember who did that.

295
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: It was the teachers unions that in some states had

296
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: the schools shut down for one to two years in

297
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: those states. It was the teachers' unions who are supposed

298
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: to be looking out for our kids and giving them

299
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 3: the best education that they could get, and instead destroyed

300
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 3: an entire generation on their education. And absolutely no one,

301
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,119
Speaker 3: not only was no one held accountable, no one held accountable.

302
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 3: Joe Biden pardoned many of them, including doctor Fauci.

303
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, major economic and social disruption, and six years later,

304
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: six years later, we're still dealing with it. It's like, you know, oh,

305
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: it's one of those things. Oftentimes with the memory, you

306
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: look back and you're like, oh, nostalgic for it. Now,

307
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: this isn't one of those good time look backs. This

308
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: is one of those I'm still pissed about this.

309
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's funny you say that, because we

310
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 3: do tend to when we look back, we tend to

311
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 3: remember the good times and not the bad times.

312
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 4: Now you think about things and you're like, ah, it

313
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 4: wasn't so bad. I'm glad we went through that, or

314
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 4: it builds character.

315
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 3: Now, when it comes to COVID, there are no good

316
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: times to be remembered. I certainly don't remember any good times.

317
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: It's just just the stripping of our freedoms. And one

318
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: of the worst things that came about this, one of

319
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 3: the worst things that came about this that we will

320
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: live with for generations to come, is every politician learned

321
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: that they can feed you a line of bs and

322
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: tell you what to do. And the American people just

323
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 3: took it.

324
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 4: We just took it. We took it. On the chick.

325
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: You gotta get this vaccine or you lose your job. Okay,

326
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: I guess so, Oh, we're closing down churches, and we're

327
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: closing down society and shutting down businesses. Oh but our constituents.

328
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: This lawmaker over here, he owns a big chain of

329
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 3: liquor stores. We better leave those open.

330
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 4: Okay. Fine.

331
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: They took away our freedoms, and the vast majority of

332
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 3: people in this country did absolutely nothing to fight that.

333
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: And they made stuff up the social distancing. Where did

334
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: that come from? Just random crap they pulled out of

335
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: the air well. There's no science behind that.

336
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 3: Very specifically, doctor Fauci being on TV and telling all

337
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 3: of us masks don't do anything. This is in the

338
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 3: first weeks of COVID. Nope, don't worry about masks. They

339
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 3: don't do anything. And then within a couple of months,

340
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 3: no science dictated that there's no science behind it.

341
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 4: That changed it.

342
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 3: It was Nope, we want to control what you do,

343
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 3: and you've got to wear a mask to go anywhere

344
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 3: in public, and if you don't, you're going to get arrested.

345
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I often think maybe I'm especially bitter of

346
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: this because our daughter was a senior in high school,

347
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: went to school one day and the next day just

348
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: never went back no graduation, no prom, none of the

349
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: typical rights of passage that a high school senior would have.

350
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: And then, as an incoming freshman at Purdue, forced to

351
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: get that vaccine if she wanted to attend college, and

352
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: the first entire year and a half of her college

353
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: experience was spent behind a mandated mask.

354
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 3: Well, it also spent she lived in the dorms, but

355
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 3: she might as well have just lived at home because

356
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 3: all of her classes were online anyway, So.

357
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 4: It was frustrating.

358
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: What did we pay for it?

359
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: And yeah, her high school graduation was a YouTube show

360
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: that we all watched on our living room couch. That's

361
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 3: what it is. Yeah, I don't have any good memories

362
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 3: from COVID. And then, like I said, initially didn't want

363
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 3: to talk about this, but I'm glad we did because

364
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: I'm angry and I got.

365
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 4: To get it on my chest there. Still I'm still angry.

366
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: So you want to know what my problem is, that's

367
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: my problem. You're listening to ninety three WYBC, so you've

368
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: got a lot of public money flying out and there's

369
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: a little oversight. What does that do? That's going to

370
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: invite waste? And it hurts credibility for families who really

371
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: need help. And we're taking a look now at how

372
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: some Medicaid costs are skyrocketing. And this is because there

373
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: has been a rapid surge in autism therapy. And the

374
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal did an analysis of this and they

375
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: said that Medicaid payments for some of these services grew

376
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: about six hundred and sixty million dollars in twenty nineteen

377
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: to two point two billion dollars in twenty twenty three.

378
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: And in one case, there was a company here in

379
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: Indiana that received twenty nine million dollars in twenty twenty

380
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: three for eighty four payments or eighty four patients, And

381
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: that's roughly about three hundred and forty thousand dollars per child.

382
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a shocking article and you can it's

383
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 3: on the Wall Street Journal's website right now, and there's

384
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 3: a lot of specifics about Indiana on here. In fact,

385
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: the article starts off talking about this place called Peace

386
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: by Piece Autism Centers, which was given in twenty twenty three.

387
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 3: This is just in one year twenty twenty three. According

388
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: to this article, it's given twenty nine million dollars by

389
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 3: the state of Indiana to provide autism therapy to just

390
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 3: eighty four patients. That comes out to three hundred and

391
00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 3: forty thousand dollars a year per child. And the the

392
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: person who owns that organization piece by piece, he spoke

393
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 3: with the article, gave quotes and said things like, quote,

394
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 3: I don't think Indiana really had any oversight or not much.

395
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 3: I mean they were sitting here and admitting and talking

396
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: about how hey, I just operated within the rules and

397
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 3: I raised my prices, and nobody in Indiana said anything,

398
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 3: so I just kept on going and doing this. This

399
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 3: is I'm almost as upset about this as I was

400
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 3: about our last break where we talked and recapped all

401
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: the awful things that happened during COVID. This is so frustrating.

402
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 3: So this is why it's things like this. This is

403
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 3: why when any government entity comes crying poor mouth, whether

404
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 3: it's local schools or local cities or the state government, which,

405
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: by the way, just ended up a billion dollars shortfall

406
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 3: last year and raised your taxes by a billion dollars.

407
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 3: Anytime some any government entity cries looking for more money,

408
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 3: my first reaction is absolutely not, not until you have

409
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 3: gone through and rooted out every bit of waste, fraud

410
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 3: and abuse that you can find anywhere. Our taxes are

411
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 3: insane in this state and in this country right now,

412
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: especially with all the fraud that happens out there. But

413
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 3: that's the solution is always just throw more money up

414
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 3: it at it. When it turns out, we've kind of

415
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: got our own Minneapolis Somali daycare situation happening right here

416
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: in Indiana.

417
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: We have a leering center. Experts and regulators they worried

418
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: that the financial incentives could be encouraging over billing or

419
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: even excessive hours rather than focus on the patient's needs.

420
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying these patients don't have needs and

421
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: they should not receive the care that is required. They

422
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: absolutely should. However, you've got federal authorities that are now

423
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: beginning to investigate into potential billing abuses in some states,

424
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: and some reforms are underway to curb some of these reimbursements.

425
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: But you can't turn medicaid into this cash cow because

426
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: even if you have a good intent, that's not a

427
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: way to justify it.

428
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: And look, I'm not disparaging necessarily this this organization piece

429
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: by piece Autism centers, it seems like they were very transparent.

430
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 4: They basically just said, yeah, we.

431
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: Were working within the rules, and I will give at

432
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 3: least a tiny bit of credit, although I hate to

433
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 3: do it, a tiny bit of credit to the State

434
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 3: of Indiana because according to this article, they did change

435
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 3: some of the rules associated with this, but they were

436
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 3: just spending and handing out millions and millions and millions

437
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: of dollars over actually no oversight to where we could

438
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: get to a situation. And again it's talked about right

439
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: here where this one group was paid twenty nine million

440
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 3: dollars to provide care for eighty four patients three hundred

441
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 3: and forty thousand dollars per autism child.

442
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was just in one year, just in

443
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: one year. Yeah, you've got the New York Giants co owners.

444
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: They have asked the NFL for permission to transfer their

445
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: ownership stakes to their children's trust. That request it came

446
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: after a league memo which said the Tish siblings currently

447
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: hold twenty three point one percent of the franchise and

448
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: they want to move the entire share into the trusts

449
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: of their kids. And guess what but it all has

450
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: to do with Epstein. Yeah, there were some reports that

451
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: we're linking the Steve Tish and his past associations with

452
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein.

453
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I.

454
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 3: It seems like it's been a couple of weeks since

455
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 3: we've really talked a whole lot about the Epstein files.

456
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: There's been other stuff going on, like military action in Iran,

457
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 3: but that doesn't mean we're going to forget about this.

458
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: And yeah, the Giants owner Tish was in the Epstein

459
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 3: files a lot, and I know that everybody, including myself,

460
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 3: has a lot of frustrations because we're looking for justice

461
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 3: anyway we can get it, and it doesn't look like

462
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 3: we're going to get it in the you know, in

463
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 3: the in the criminal system, and it doesn't look like

464
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 3: we're going to get it in a lot of other ways.

465
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: So the only other option we've got is to shame

466
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 3: these people. And the problem here is I'm worried that

467
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 3: this transfer is just for show. I mean, this owner

468
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 3: of the New York Giants, Tish, who was in the

469
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 3: Epstein files, is transferring team ownership to his children's trust. Now,

470
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: the skeptical person in me sits here and says, well,

471
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 3: that guy's still going to have a lot of influence

472
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 3: in that company, even if he's transferred it to his

473
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: children's trust.

474
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: But this where is this classic estate planning, because that

475
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: happens often as part of it too.

476
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 3: Well, they may be doing it for a state planning

477
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: purposes and hopefully hoping they'll get a pass on the

478
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 3: Epstein file aspect of it because it will probably make

479
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 3: any of these issues with him and the Epstein files

480
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: go away. But we're going to hear more and more

481
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 3: about this. It just came out yesterday that Steve Cohen,

482
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 3: the owner of the New York Mets, allegedly showed up

483
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 3: in the Epstein files as well. So again you've got

484
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 3: these powerful billionaires that happen to own sports franchises. It's

485
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 3: not a surprise that a couple of them so far,

486
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 3: at least a couple of them so far, have shown

487
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 3: up in the Epstein files.

488
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: Whether it's just succession planning or if there's a real

489
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: reason behind the legal maneuver, the fans deserve some sort

490
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: of transparency. They want to know who they're rooting for.

491
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would with the makeup of the team, I

492
00:24:58,840 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 4: would think so.

493
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 3: And and unfortunately, this is probably enough of a move

494
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 3: to where everybody just moves on and says Okay, our

495
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: issue with the owner of the Giants and Cash is done,

496
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 3: and now we can move on to what other dirt

497
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 3: bag that was in the Epstein files and see how

498
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: we can hold them accountable.

499
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: Speaking of NFL, you've got Jim Irsay, former longtime over

500
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: owner of the Indianapolis Colts and his collection, one of

501
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: the most iconic music and pop culture memorabile collections over

502
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 1: the years. It is being auctioned at Christie's in New

503
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: York today. The sale expected to bring about thirty million dollars.

504
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jim Irsay, you know, did build up one of

505
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 3: the most impressive memorabilia collections. And I'm talking everything from

506
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 3: sports memorabilia. I mean, he's got one of Muhammad Ali's

507
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: championship belts, and I think that way he ended up

508
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 3: paying five or six million dollars or something like that.

509
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 3: He's got incredible you know, Kurt Cobain's guitar and drum

510
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 3: sets from the Beatles, and items from Jackie Robinson and

511
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 3: Secretariat and Wayne Gretzky and Johnny kag and prints.

512
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 4: It is.

513
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 3: It's amazing that when the State of Indiana gives you

514
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 3: a free billion dollars stadium It's.

515
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 4: Funny how much of the money you can buy, how

516
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 4: much money.

517
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 3: You've got freed up to spend on other stuff like collectibles.

518
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 4: It's it's amazing how that works.

519
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: McCartney's handwritten Hey Jude lyrics Ringo stars Drumhead from The

520
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: Beatles their first Ed Sullivan show. I mean, it's quite

521
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: a quite a collection, and it will now be piecemealed

522
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: out to multiple owners.

523
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and look, I have no ability.

524
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure whatever the cheapest item is on here, I

525
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 3: couldn't even dream of coming up with that much money

526
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 3: for it. But it is kind of fun to look

527
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 3: at all the items. So you can go to Christie's

528
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 3: right now and they've got them all listed there, just

529
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 3: incredible sets Georgian right now, I do see.

530
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: I do you see like the highest highest items.

531
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 3: Well, bidding doesn't start for another five hours, and so

532
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 3: so there are well they've got price estimates on things,

533
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 3: but no bidding will the bidding starts in five hours,

534
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 3: So the number one, the highest priced estimate. These are

535
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 3: the things Kurt Cobain's Fender Mustang guitar used in the

536
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 3: music video It smells like teeth Spirit. David Gilmour from

537
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: Pink Floyd, his Fender stratocaster, and then the original type

538
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 3: script scroll for the monumental first draft of On the

539
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: Road by Jack Kirouak. That estimate is for between two

540
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 3: and a half and four million dollars. But those are

541
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 3: the top three items, by the way. The number one

542
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: item that Cobaine guitar, It also has an estimate of

543
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 3: between two and a half to five million dollars. And

544
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 3: as somebody who has a business that is associated with collectibles,

545
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 3: I'm going to say that five million dollar estimate is low.

546
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 6: Low.

547
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, low.

548
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 3: I think a lot of these estimates are low. These

549
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 3: are one of a kind items that will likely never

550
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 3: ever come up for sale again. And there are plenty

551
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 3: of rich billionaires out there looking to spend some money

552
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 3: on stuff, and.

553
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 4: These are just too tasty for some of those people

554
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 4: to pass up.

555
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: So here in Indy, we're going to the Final four

556

Speaker 3: six blocks on the Ridian Street.

579
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 4: So it's really a great location for a concert. I'm

580
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 4: really shocked of this.

00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 3: I mean, Zach Brownband, that's a huge country band, I

582

00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 3: American legion mall watching Zach Brownband that that's gonna be

586
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 3: a fun time.

587
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: By the way, I just saw last night during my

588
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: weekly Survivor episode viewing that Zach Brown Band is making

589
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: an appearance on Survivor next week.

590
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 3: You can't get away from Zach Brownbands everywhere.

591
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 4: He'd be with some chicken fried man. I mean, they

592
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 4: got great songs, They're gonna be fun.

593
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 3: I honestly want to go to this, and it takes

594
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 3: a lot to get me out of my house to

595
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 3: go to a concert these days.

596
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: So Whitney Cummings, comedian, she was on the Joe Rogan

597
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: podcast and she was unleashing a takedown of hypocrisy and

598
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: it had everybody, including Joe Rogan, nodding. Check this out.

599
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: I was as liberal, I had blue hair, you guys

600
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: like I rescue pitbulls.

601
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 7: Like it doesn't get any more liberal than me, Like,

602
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 7: it doesn't get anymore. But the whole idea with being

603
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 7: liberal is like you had me at we're not racist,

604
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 7: everyone's equal, but that you know, uh, diversity, but then

605
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 7: it turns into diversity, diversity, but not diversity of thought.

606
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 4: Not right.

607
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 7: The hypocrisy of it got and I think that as

608
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 7: comics were people who you know, I may not be

609
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 7: an expert of politics, but I'm an expert on hypocrisy.

610
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 7: When you grow up around alcoholics who say I love

611
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 7: you and then their behaviors in Congress, you study, you

612
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 7: look for patterns of hypocrisy.

613
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: That's just what we're wired to do.

614
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 7: So it just started to just be like, hold on, uh,

615
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 7: you know, we don't believe in gender, but we need

616
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 7: a female president.

617
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: You're like, huh.

618
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 7: And then it's like my body, my choice, unless it's

619
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 7: a baby that needs a BacT scene for hepatitis B,

620
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 7: which comes from like what.

621
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 2: Are you right?

622
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 7: And sharing needles and sharing needles, and then you know,

623
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 7: we believe in climate change and sea is rising, but

624
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 7: we live on the coast, Like would you buy a

625
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 7: house on the beach if you truly believe that the

626
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 7: seas are?

627
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: You know. So that was aired a few months ago,

628
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: but I think it's still relevant today because she's talking

629
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: about hypocrisy. You hear these politicians say one thing and

630
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: do another, and we're seeing that right now with the

631
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: Save Act and Senator fun And.

632
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 3: One of the interesting things I think that she said

633
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 3: there that people may have overlooked is. She talks about

634
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 3: how being a comic, what you do is you're kind

635
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 3: of put in a position to sniff out the bs.

636
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 3: That's your job as a comic to look for these

637
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 3: patterns and find comedy in them. But then you also

638
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 3: find truth in them. And so when I started thinking

639
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 3: about that, I was like, Yeah, that does kind of

640
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 3: make a lot of sense. Look at all the comedians

641
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 3: that you know, used to be liberal that have come

642
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 3: over to the conservative side, whether it's Joe Rogan who

643
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 3: is still a stand up comedian, theovonn who's still a

644
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 3: stand up comedian, Andrew Schultz and all these guys in

645
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 3: these comedians that sniffed this out and used to be

646
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 3: liberal and have now moved more conservative.

647
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're listening to ninety three WYBC Good Morning. Trump's

648
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: doing what Trump does. He was in Kentucky last night,

649
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: and whether you love it or not, he was endorsing

650
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: Jake Paul for an office that he has not announced

651
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: he's running for.

652
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 4: I love that Trump just throwing out endorsements all over

653
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 4: the place.

654
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 3: We had a story here where he endorsed somebody that

655
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 3: was running to be a lawmaker in Indiana, and then

656
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 3: that guy dropped out, dropped out pretty dark quickly. At

657
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 3: least He's like, this seems like a lot of work.

658
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 3: Now he's endorsing Jake Paul for some potential future office

659
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 3: that's undisclosed that he's not running for.

660
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: It does kind of signal that's always been Trump's strategy,

661
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: right energized the base with personality and spectacle. And he

662
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: did it again last night when he was in hebron Kentucky.

663
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: So Jake Paul YouTuber turned boxer, and he actually invited

664
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: him on the stage and Trump predicted that Paul could

665
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: run for a political office in the future and said

666
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: that he has his complete and total endorsement if he

667
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: chose to do so.

668
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, what mister Trump has taught me is courage. You know,

669
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 8: we never back down from a fight, even if they're

670
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 8: much bigger than you, much much bigger than you. And

671
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 8: I feel all the local Kentuckians feel the same way.

672
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 8: You guys have that fight, you guys have that swag.

673
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 8: There's a lot of young kids in here the future

674
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 8: of America. I grew up just a few hours away

675
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 8: from here, and my dad taught me to fight, and

676
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 8: all of our voices matter in America. And I'm never

677
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 8: afraid to speak the truth. And I know you guys

678
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 8: aren't here. We are here representing the United States, and

679
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 8: it's just a blessing. Thank you, mister Trump. We need

680
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 8: more factories like this thriving all over the country, and

681
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 8: I know he's going to be the one to bring

682
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 8: that here to us.

683
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 4: I know God is with us.

684
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 8: I know he wants us on the right side of history.

685
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 8: And everyone here has to do their part. And God's

686
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 8: got us. Trump's got us. God bless us.

687
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: You've got this social media star and he is well.

688
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just replacing celebrities, right, because you've long

689
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: had politicians bring on celebrities as part of their campaign.

690
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: So now it's just a social media influencer. That's what

691
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: you're doing. You're just borrowing from an entertainment source. It's

692
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: just a different source.

693
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

694
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 3: And I don't want to get too in the weeds

695
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 3: on Jake Paul versus Logan Paul, which are the brothers,

696
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 3: But I do get them confused frequently, so I think

697
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 3: it's important. Jake Paul is the quote unquote professional boxer.

698
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 3: He is also was a former Disney Channel star and

699
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 3: is now looking to maybe put himself into politics. Logan

700
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: Paul different. He's into WWE wrestling and has done some

701
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 3: wrestling things, but he's also known for his podcast, his

702
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 3: YouTube channel, his energy Drink Prime and Logan Paul was

703
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 3: also the guy we talked about it a few weeks

704
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 3: ago that sold the Pokemon trading card for a record

705
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 3: six million dollars.

706
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 4: Keep in mind, this is not Logan Paul in the

707
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 4: wrestling in the Pokemon.

708
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 3: This is Jake Paul, who's the boxer and the Disney

709
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 3: Channel kid and now maybe wants to be a politician.

710
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 3: The other thing, too, is he mentioned about how he

711
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 3: grew up a few hours away from here, and while

712
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 3: that is technically true, he did not grow up in

713
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 3: the state of Kentucky where they were talking about and

714
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 3: having this event.

715
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 4: He grew up in Ohio.

716
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, he probably wouldn't run for anything in Kentucky,

717
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 3: would probably run for something where he lives now, in

718
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 3: California or in Ohio.

719
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: But bringing somebody on the stage who isn't even running

720
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: and then endorsing him, it does show that there's a

721
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: lot of media influence and how much that shapes the

722
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: political momentum right now, and a lot of people were

723
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: commenting that he was really pitted out during his speech.

724
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: He was sweaty.

725
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 3: Well, he's a boxer, he's always working out. He was

726
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 3: probably just hitting the bag real hard. But the other

727
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 3: interesting thing you mentioned celebrities. You know, there are very

728
00:35:54,560 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 3: few traditional celebrities anymore from TV shows and movies, I

729
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 3: mean movies, I mean the entire entertainment industry has been

730
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 3: gutted and it's difficult. We've and we've still got some

731
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 3: legacy stars like Tom Cruise, but most of today's celebrities

732
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 3: are the influencer, come from social media and YouTube, and

733
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 3: this is just going to be the case going forward.

734
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jim, Thank you Kevin, Thank you for listening.

735
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 7: This is ninety three w Ybcut a few pis.

736
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 6: Some days, aude don't know.

737
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 4: Where to.

738
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: Live.

739
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 4: That's w
