1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: First they wanted the land. Now it's the Water Citizens 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: Energy Group building a forty inch water pop pipeline and 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: that is to supply water to Lebnin utilities. And this 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: is all for the Leap project. It's meant to support 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: the you know, the little projects. And by little I'm 6 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: being completely sarcastic. 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 2: You mean absolutely massive project. 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: Hey, thirteen and a half billion dollar complex for Eli 9 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: Lilly also a potential five billion dollar metadata center. Okay, 10 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: so they need water there. This pipeline is going to 11 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: deliver up to twenty five million gallons of water per 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: day by twenty thirty one, and it goes across Marion, 13 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: Hendrickspoon and also Hamilton Counties. 14 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 3: You guys have talked about this on this show for years. 15 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: Now. 16 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 3: What is going on in that Leap district is It's amazing. 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 3: It's gotten to this point because they approved the Lily 18 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 3: project and the data center and then realized, knowing that 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 3: didn't have water, we don't have enough water for this, 20 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 3: So now what are we going to do? This is 21 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 3: the importance about showing up to your local county commissioner 22 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 3: meetings and these local you know, political groups that make 23 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 3: these final decisions, and it was interesting that, you know, 24 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:20,279 Speaker 3: the Hendricks County Commissioner said, nobody opposed this line going 25 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 3: through there. Now they are, you know, there are some 26 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 3: opposition to them using easements and people's property to do 27 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 3: it for, but nobody showed up against this in general. 28 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 3: So this goes back to the importance of being involved 29 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 3: in your local community, because now it looks like this 30 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 3: is going to happen whether you. 31 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 2: Like it or not. 32 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: So the pipeline's going to go through Brown Township in 33 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: Hendricks County. Four hundred and seventy five residents got letters 34 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: about easements, and a lot of the property owners they 35 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: want to connect to the pipeline to replace their own 36 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: wells in septic systems and improve their water access. But 37 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: so far citizens said. 38 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 3: Nah, so can you imagine we're not going to let 39 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: you do Can you imagine we're gonna you've got this 40 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 3: or your property, We're going to put this massive water 41 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 3: pipeline going through it, and if you don't agree to this, 42 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 3: we'll just use eminent domain and take your property from you. 43 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 3: That's okay, Well, well, i'm the homeowner. How about maybe 44 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 3: can you do something for us? How about I'm on 45 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,399 Speaker 3: a well and septic here at my house. I don't 46 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: have city services. Can I just connect to that pipeline? 47 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 3: How about now to get better water access? Since you're 48 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: taking my property via eminent domain to do that anyway? 49 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: And they said absolutely not. What are you thinking? No? 50 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: Absolutely no. 51 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,839 Speaker 1: The Hendricks County commissioners they want the company to reconsider 52 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: and let the residents connect to the pipeline. But you 53 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: know they're they're writing a strongly worded letter. Yeah, well, 54 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: how far that gives something? 55 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: I mean, look, this project has steamrolled everybody that's gotten 56 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: in its way. It's happening whether we like it or not. 57 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 3: And so I applaud these homeowners for standing up and saying, hey, 58 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 3: can you give us access to this pipeline anyway? But 59 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: why would this utility company listen to them? They're going 60 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: to get what they want. That you allow that through 61 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: their property and their easement, or that the company has 62 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: to take it through imminent domain. We're not going to 63 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 3: do anything for you because we don't have to. 64 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: Construction is set to begin early next year. Small price 65 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: tag five hundred and sixty million dollars. Did you see 66 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: that the Secretary of State, Diego Morales has got this 67 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: guy on his staff who lives in Bloomington area but 68 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: also in New Jersey. 69 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: Quote lives in the Bloomington area. Well, I mean, it's 70 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: been at least a couple of weeks since Diego Morales, 71 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: the Secretary of State, just tripped all over himself. We 72 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 3: were due for another story like. 73 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: This, Okay. So this is a twenty two year old 74 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: Republican committee man who represents New Jersey also earns the 75 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: salary of sixty six, two hundred and fifty dollars from 76 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: the state of Indiana, and he's putting it out there 77 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: on his LinkedIn And Adam Wrenn broke this from Politico 78 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: and Portonville and he said that a spokesperson for the 79 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: Secretary of State says that the guy lives in Indiana, 80 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: but on his Instagram, he just sent out a Christmas 81 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: letter to the people in his district and that has 82 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: a New Jersey address. 83 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, And there are other people that were it's. 84 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: Really remote working, isn't it. 85 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: It's quite a feat of remote working. 86 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: And there are other people that were posting screenshots of 87 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 3: this employee's Twitter and Instagram accounts showing that he was 88 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 3: back in New Jersey to vote recently. 89 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: You will continue to maintain his New Jersey registration and 90 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: residency as it is his intent to return there. But 91 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: for now, he's going to get that sixty six thousand 92 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: dollars a year salary from the Secretary of State here 93 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: in Indiana. 94 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: Sixty six thousand dollars of your money. 95 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: That's your the money, most important part your money. Dual residency. 96 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: It sounds like, okay, so let's let's go back and 97 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: talk about the Bears conversation. 98 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,559 Speaker 3: Yes, let's go back and talk about the Chicago Bears. 99 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 2: It's been ten minutes. Let's do it again. 100 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: The mayor of Gary, his name is Eddie Melton. He 101 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: says that the city is ready for the Chicago Bears. 102 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 4: You could still be the Chicago Bears in Gary, Indiana 103 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 4: because of the proximity, the closeness to all of the 104 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 4: same amenities. But the infrastructure that Gary has already you 105 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 4: can't replicate it. 106 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: So we've talked about that. They've got the airport, they've 107 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: got the infrastructure of the proximity to Chicago, and it's 108 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: getting the attention. There's also companies like FedEx and Indiana 109 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: Sugars and US Steel that are investing into Gary. The 110 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: mayor says that they're going to have about two thousand 111 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: new full time jobs over the next two and a 112 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: half years coming to Gary. It's a research going on 113 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: in northwest Indiana. 114 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 3: And when this story first came out last week, I 115 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 3: think everybody's initial reaction was, Ah, this is fun to 116 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 3: talk about, but it's probably not going to happen. 117 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 2: But then the more and more. 118 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 3: We hear about it, and the more and more experts 119 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 3: are today thinking about it and talking about it, that 120 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: this may actually have some legs here. 121 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: What has likely been happening in all of this. 122 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 3: Is that that they, the mayor of Chicago and the 123 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 3: governor of Chicago, don't want the Bears to move outside 124 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 3: of Chicago. They want them at Soldier Field in that area, 125 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 3: and they've tried to, you know, give them a deal 126 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 3: where they would build a new stadium, and it was 127 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 3: a terrible deal for the Bears. So the Bear said, Okay, 128 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 3: we're just going to go buy this property in Arlington 129 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,559 Speaker 3: Heights in the suburbs and we'll do it out there. Well, look, 130 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: the entire state of Illinois is controlled by the Democrat Party, 131 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 3: So what likely happened is the city of Chicago, and 132 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 3: the governor and the Democrat Party put some serious pressure 133 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 3: on Arlington Heights and said, look, you better not make 134 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: this easy for the Bears at all, because we want 135 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 3: them Chicago. This is going to be This is an 136 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: epic match of chicken that is playing out right in 137 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 3: front of us. And I don't think that the mayor 138 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 3: of Chicago and the Governor of Chicago are going to 139 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 3: bend on this concept. And I don't think the Bears 140 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 3: want to stay at Soldier Field anymore either. It is 141 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 3: going to be interesting to see who ends up winning 142 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 3: out on this. 143 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: So you've got fifty two square miles in Gary. They 144 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: have space that other cities lack. You've got the South 145 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: shore line that goes right through there, right got great 146 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: rails to provide some nice transit, and they're working to 147 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: attract some commercial flights for easier travel. Now. Rep Earl Harris, 148 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: he says that Indiana taxes are better than Illinois, and 149 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,559 Speaker 1: that's reason enough. 150 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 5: Indiana has been known for being a pro business state. 151 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 5: And when you look at our taxes, when you look 152 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 5: at the cost of things, we really come out on 153 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 5: the good side. And not to take a shot at Illinois, 154 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 5: but it really is easier and a better financial situation 155 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 5: for businesses on this side of the state line on. 156 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: The back of taxpayers. Though, thank the taxpayers when you 157 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: say this, No. 158 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 3: Why would politicians ever thank the taxpayers. But taxes are 159 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 3: really a big reason why Northwest Indiana is even being considered. 160 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 3: So the Bears bought that property in Arlington Heights and 161 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 3: they proposed this, you know, multi billion dollar stadium. Arlington 162 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: Heights came back to them and told the Bears that 163 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 3: the property taxes alone for that stadium would be seventy 164 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: five million dollars a year. So we think the property 165 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 3: taxes are bad in Indiana, nothing compared to. 166 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: The to the state of Villa On. 167 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 3: There the Bears generate about six hundred and thirty million 168 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 3: dollars a year in revenue. If they build that stadium 169 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 3: in Arlington Heights, seventy five million out the door just 170 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: for property taxes. That's nearly fifteen percent of their entire 171 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 3: annual revenue just for property taxes. Doesn't include the multimillion 172 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 3: dollar contracts for their for their employees, all the other taxes, 173 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 3: and just all the other expenses of running a business 174 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 3: in general. So the idea that they could come to 175 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 3: Indiana because of better taxes in general. Absolutely, that's the 176 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: first thing that the Bears are thinking. 177 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: Better taxes because they'll get some sort of tax abatement 178 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: on the back of the Indiana tax payers. 179 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 3: And this is as a society, we've got to make 180 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: this decision. Are we good with given are these billionaire 181 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 3: owners free stadiums or not. 182 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 2: But the interesting thing is. 183 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: The politicians are making that decision for us. 184 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: This is a little bit different. This is a big 185 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 3: different deal than Lucas Oil Stadium and the colts here 186 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 3: where the majority are a huge chunk of that was 187 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 3: funded by taxpayers. What the Bears have said is, look, 188 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 3: we'll pay for the entire stadium ourselves. What we'd like you, 189 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: as a government entity to do is handle some infrastructure. 190 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 3: You're going to build some roads and some sewers and utilities. 191 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: And all the Bears have asked for is tax certainty. 192 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 3: What they want is to be able to go somewhere 193 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 3: that says, Okay, this is what your taxes are going 194 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 3: to look like for the next twenty years, because they 195 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 3: don't want them to get out of control. Because again, 196 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 3: if you build that stadium in Arlington Heights, and you're 197 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: sitting on seventy five million dollars a year and property 198 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 3: taxes that's just year one. That doesn't mean property taxes 199 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 3: can't go up or go through the roof going forward. 200 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 3: So the Bears are doing this in a different way 201 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 3: than a lot of other a lot of other NFL 202 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 3: owners have done. 203 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: So you and I had joked about this about Wolf Lake. 204 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: They could have some lake front property on. 205 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 2: Wolflake last week. 206 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, But then Dan Dockets tweeted this out and I 207 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: thought it was well, let's share it. He had put 208 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: out that trucks and drilling equipment were dispatched to Wolf 209 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: Lake in Northammon's neighborhood to scout out a potential replacement 210 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: for Soldier Field. Now he was retweeting somebody else, but 211 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: he said that workers were there placing green and yellow 212 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: yellow flags to identify where buried water and gas lines 213 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: were located south of Wolflake and Memorial Park. So, as 214 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: we said it as a joke, actually maybe a little 215 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: maybe more true. 216 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 3: Maybe real Wolf Lake is it sits on the border 217 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 3: of Illinois and Indiana. So like half a Wolf Lakes 218 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 3: in Illinois, half is in Indiana, and it's right on 219 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 3: eighty ninety four. So if you're ever in northern Indiana 220 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 3: driving towards Chicago, you can't miss it. It's this lake 221 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 3: that is surrounded by these massive refieries and factories and 222 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 3: just very industrial looking. And there's always people fishing in 223 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: that lake, which blows my mind every time I drive by. 224 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 3: But we joked about Wolf Lake being a potential, you know, 225 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 3: close to a site, and it turns out maybe maybe it. 226 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 2: Is Wolf Lake. 227 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. Possibly. He has become the first person ever worth 228 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: seven hundred billion dollars? Can you guess who it is? 229 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 2: I'm the richest man in the world, just getting richer. 230 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll talk about it coming up. It is ninety 231 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: three WYBC. All right, so he's the first person ever 232 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: worth seven hundred billion. Who is it? 233 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 2: Let me guess, Elon. 234 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: Musk, Yeah, it's him. This after a Delaware Supreme Court 235 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: restored his voided Tesla stock options because he needed them. 236 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: He needed the options. They were worth one hundred and 237 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,359 Speaker 1: thirty nine billion dollars. Forbes has been discounting the options 238 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: since twenty twenty four, but now that the court made 239 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: their decision, they've restored their full value. And congratulations to 240 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: Elon Musk for being worth seven hundred billion dollars. 241 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, this goes back to a court battle about a 242 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: year ago. And this is why a lot of companies 243 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 3: incorporate in the state of Delaware, because they have a 244 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 3: very friendly business environment when it comes to corporate rules 245 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 3: and regulations. And then, out of nowhere, which this never happens, 246 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 3: somebody brought a suit in Delaware challenging Elon's Tesla compensation 247 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 3: and saying it was too much, and shockingly, like for 248 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 3: the first time ever, maybe judge said yeap, nope, that's 249 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 3: too and and it wiped out several hundred billion dollars 250 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 3: of wealth away from Eli's or Elon's net worth. And 251 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 3: now a court has reversed that. So it was it 252 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 3: was a two hundred million dollars two hundred billion dollar 253 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 3: added back to Elon Musk's net worth in this process. 254 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: So he owns twelve percent of Tesla stock, plus he's 255 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: got those stock options, and that brings his entire Tesla 256 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: holdings up to three hundred and thirty eight billion. He 257 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: received a new pay package in November, and that could 258 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: add up to one trillion dollars if Tesla hits their 259 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: growth goals. He also owns forty two percent of SpaceX, 260 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: now worth three hundred and thirty six billion, not quite 261 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: as much as Tesla. 262 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 3: Right there, but that that's going to flip. I mean 263 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 3: we're in the next year SpaceX is going to be 264 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 3: worth more than Tesla. 265 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: Well right, because you've got SpaceX introducing their IPO in 266 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: twenty six and that could push their value up to 267 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: one point five trillion. That will make Elon Musk the 268 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: first trillionaire. The second richest person behind Elon. 269 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 2: Musk, is it Larry Ellison. 270 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: Larry Page, oh different r. He's the co founder of Google. 271 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: He's worth two hundred and fifty three billion, which is 272 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: about a half a trillion less than Musk. When you 273 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: get into such big numbers like that, it's like if 274 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: you and I dropped a dollar bill on the floor, 275 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: or a five or a ten, we would take the 276 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: time to pick it up. For them, it's like dropping 277 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: a penny. It's just whatever. 278 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 2: It just move on, stays on the ground. 279 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 3: You can debate whether or not billionaires are paying enough 280 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 3: taxes in this country, but this was the right court ruling. 281 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,359 Speaker 3: The courts have no business being involved in the compensation 282 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 3: between a private business and a private individual running that company. 283 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 3: That ruling that initially came out around a year ago 284 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 3: in the state of Delaware was horrendous. It made a 285 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 3: lot of people rethink whether they should be incorporating their 286 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 3: businesses in Delaware. But the federal the government has no 287 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 3: business between a private compensation agreement through the private company 288 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 3: and a private individual. So the repealing of that initial 289 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 3: ruling was the right move here. Now, if you want 290 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 3: to talk about it, we're not taxing billionaires enough. Great 291 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 3: different conversation, but the government needs to be out of 292 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 3: private compensation deals. 293 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: So you had Kid Rock and his mom. They were 294 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: on with Fox and Friends over the weekend. Kid Rock's 295 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: mom was making apple pie. She was sharing some family 296 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: recipes secrets, and during the conversation she said that she 297 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: didn't really think Kid Rock was going to become a 298 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: rock star. At what point did you realize that or 299 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: did you figure out that. 300 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 3: Bobby was going to become Bobby potentially a rock star? 301 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: He thought he was going to be. We never thought 302 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: he was a. 303 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 6: Lot of support, a lot of important I think of 304 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 6: being a little tougher and not just going oh okay, well, 305 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 6: what do you need We'll do everything. 306 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: We can do. He did it on his own right, 307 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: and we can't say that we gave him the money 308 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: to do it or anything else. He did it, So 309 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: that is probably what I'm most proud of. She's proud 310 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: that her son is self made, he did it on 311 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: his own right. Her name is Susan. Did you hear 312 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: they were calling him Bobby? 313 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 2: That's his real name. His real name is Bobby Richie. 314 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: But if her first name is Susan, does she go 315 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: by Susan Rock? If he's kid rock, If he's kid 316 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: rock rock. 317 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 3: Look, I'm not a surprise if your kid comes to 318 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 3: you and says I'm going to be the biggest rock 319 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 3: star in the world.

It's ninety three WYBC. 344 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 7: Ronny No Mando Jay released thousands of documents related to 345 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 7: Jeffrey Epstein. 346 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: Oh and my phone's ringing. Sorry, I love. 347 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 2: That you had a motorcycle revving as your ring tone. 348 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: Yeah I do. I've got to turn that off. Okay, 349 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: So where were we? Oh? Right, we've seen right, we 350 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: were talking about the DOJ releasing documents, but some people 351 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: saying not all of them, because there were some photos 352 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: showing Donald Trump with others that were briefly removed and 353 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: then they were reposted. Some people some lawmakers, some media 354 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: accusing the DOJ of being selective, that they were hiding information, 355 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: and that does raise some concerns about transparency and also 356 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: compliance with the Congress's disclosure law. 357 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, this is. 358 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 3: Why people can't stand politicians, because Donald Trump and Pam 359 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 3: Bondy and Cash Betel run for election saying we're going 360 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 3: to release the Epstein files. In fact, I think Cash 361 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 3: Betel said day one, we're releasing the Epstein files. And 362 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 3: months and months go by and they don't release them, 363 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 3: and finally Congress has to pass a law forcing the 364 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 3: federal government to at least these files. 365 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 2: The deadlines. On Friday, what happens, They. 366 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 3: Released some of them, but not all of them, and 367 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 3: what they release is heavily redacted. 368 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 2: It was sloppy. 369 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 3: Some photos were put out and posted on the website 370 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 3: and then they were taken down. And there's this conspiracy that, 371 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 3: you know, all the photos that were taken down were 372 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 3: photos of Trump. This is why people just hate politicians, 373 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 3: because they can't be trusted. 374 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: So some of the lawmakers, they're arguing that the main 375 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: problem isn't timing, but it is the selective removal or 376 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: disbursement of information, which many are saying disrespects the survivors. 377 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: DOJ is going to continue reviewing files, and they say 378 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: that they will be releasing more information. I saw that 379 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: Pam Bondi put out a post it is the fact 380 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: sheet regarding the Epstein files release. But you've got Thomas 381 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: Massey announcing that he's going to be drafting a contempt 382 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: charge against Pambondi for her handling of the Epstein files. 383 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 4: What are you going to do about it to force 384 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 4: them to comply? 385 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 3: I mean, can you do anything? 386 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 2: Oh? 387 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 8: Absolutely, Look, people have talked about and by the way, 388 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 8: Todd Blanche is the face of this, but it's really 389 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 8: the Attorney General's Office, Pam Bondy who is responsible. And 390 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 8: there are several ways to get at this. Some take 391 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 8: longer sum or shorter the quickest way, and I think 392 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 8: the most expeditious way to get justice for these victims 393 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 8: is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondy, and that 394 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 8: doesn't require going through the courts and give her you 395 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 8: and basically Rocanna and I are talking about and drafting 396 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 8: that right now. 397 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: I don't know if replacing Pambondi is going to fix 398 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: this issue. This cover up has been happening forever well. 399 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 3: And Trump has said, I mean, Trump tried to downplay 400 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 3: this when when everybody realized that it looked like we weren't 401 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 3: going to get the Epstein files. 402 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 2: He kept trying to. 403 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 3: Call it a hoax and stupid and why are you 404 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 3: still talking about that? Ultimately, it's whatever Trump wants to do, 405 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 3: and clearly he didn't want these released, and we're getting 406 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 3: drip drips of information and changing who the you know, 407 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 3: attorney general is probably isn't going to change any of 408 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 3: this at all. 409 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: However, she was the attorney general in Florida when this 410 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: case began. 411 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 3: Pam Bondi has come out of this looking absolutely terrible. 412 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 3: Her and Cash Patel have not come out. I just 413 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 3: have come out of this whole process looking terrible, as 414 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 3: as many in the federal government. And good on Thomas 415 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 3: Massey for threatening to, you know, hold the Department of 416 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: Justice in contempt of Congress for not following through on 417 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 3: a law that was passed to release them. 418 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,719 Speaker 1: Did you. I don't know if this is true or not. 419 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: I I you might be the expert on this. 420 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 2: Okay, what do you got? 421 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: Hoops? 422 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: Crave? Okay, hoops that I'm not familiar with. 423 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: They said, Michael Jordan admits that he has a secret 424 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: ex Twitter account where he rage baits people. Is that true? 425 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: Well set a parody, it's a parody account, so this 426 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: so maybe they're just putting it out there to rage 427 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: bait people on the rage bait and this. 428 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 2: Kind of blew up over the weekend. 429 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 3: So so no credible journalist or news organization has confirmed this. 430 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,239 Speaker 3: Michael Jordan himself obviously hasn't confirmed this. But let's take 431 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 3: a look at what we know about Michael George. Okay, 432 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 3: so let's and then maybe that can give us an idea. 433 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: The man is. 434 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 3: Psychotic in his in his in his competitiveness, like I mean, 435 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 3: you know, do whatever it takes to win at any cost, 436 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 3: no matter who gets hurt along the way. So somebody 437 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 3: with that sort of mentality that competed at an ultra 438 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 3: high level. Yeah, I don't have any problem believing that 439 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 3: he's got some fake Twitter account out there where he's 440 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 3: just posting stuff just to stir it up, you. 441 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: Think, So that kind of that's just pointing though if 442 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: he does, like. 443 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 3: In what way you think that Michael Jordan should be 444 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 3: above the fray when it comes to that. 445 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: Above the fray. But if you're gonna do it, attach 446 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: your name to it. Like, for all you know, you've 447 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: been in an argument with Michael Jordan and you didn't 448 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: even know it was Michael Jons. 449 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 2: That would upset me the most. 450 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 3: Right if I was tweeting about Michael Jordan and somebody 451 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 3: was going back with me and fighting with me and 452 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 3: it turns out that the guy the rando on Twitter 453 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 3: turned out to be the real Michael Jordan. 454 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you be bummed that? You're like, you didn't know 455 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: you were fighting with Michael Jordan. 456 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 2: Right exactly. 457 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 3: And I'd be totally fine if he verbally abused me 458 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 3: on Twitter. It'd be like, you know what, Michael Jordan, 459 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 3: if you want to tear me apart on Twitter, go ahead. 460 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 3: I'd be proud to say that I got. 461 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Trash talking back? 462 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 3: I know I'm not going to trash talk him back, 463 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 3: Absolutely not. We know what happens when people trash talk him. 464 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 3: Michael Jordan takes that personally. We saw that from the 465 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 3: Last Dance documentary. 466 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: So we've got the list of the most stolen cars 467 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,479 Speaker 1: for this year based on their brand. They come up 468 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: with the top ten line. This is again from motor Biscuit, 469 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: which one of my new favorite well. 470 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 2: We talked about them last week. 471 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 3: This has become one of my new favorite websites, motorbiscuit 472 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 3: dot com. 473 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: Motor Biscuit. They've got the Kia Soul on there at number. 474 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 3: Ten, which is hilarious to me because that's that little 475 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 3: boxy card that they used those the computer generated hamsters 476 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 3: and their TV commercial with a couple of years ago. 477 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: The Honda CRV, the Toyota camer the Ford F one fifty, 478 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: the Kia Optima.

Honda Civic six three and 481 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: ninety six Honda Civics were stolen last year, and mostly 482 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: older Civics. Okay. You've also got the Chevy Solderado. It's 483 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: a pickup targeted because of its keyless entry. It's very vulnerable. 484 00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 2: Oh okay. 485 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: Number three is the Honda Accord. Eight thousand, five hundred 486 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,479 Speaker 1: and thirty one Honda Accords were stolen last year. You 487 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: have the Hyundai Sonata. Let's see targeted in the viral 488 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: Kia challenge. On TikTok. Oh great, there's a TikTok challenge 489 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: encouraging people to steal a car. The number one most 490 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: stolen car of twenty twenty five was the Hondai A Lantras. 491 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're number one, Honda Alantra. 492 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: Way to go eleven thousand, three hundred and twenty nine thefts. 493 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 3: And this is interesting because if you remember, there was 494 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 3: a lawsuit that was brought several states sued auto a 495 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 3: number of automakers earlier this year, and in fact it 496 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 3: just got settled in December of this year for selling 497 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 3: millions of vehicles lacking basic anti theft technology. 498 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 2: Basically, these attorney general said. 499 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 3: These cars are too easy to steal and you've got 500 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 3: to do something about it. And the two automakers that 501 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 3: were being sued were Hyundai and Kia, and they represent one, two, three, 502 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 3: four out of the top ten. So not a surprise 503 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 3: that those cars dominated this list. 504 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, that's one of the takeaways is that these 505 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: older vehicles they don't have the modern security features and 506 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: that's why they're the most stolen. 507 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 3: And inherently, you think that the most stolen cars, you 508 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 3: would think, oh, these are going to be you know, 509 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 3: real luxury cars and expensive cars. People want to steal 510 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 3: BMW's and Mercedes and Lexus because there there's a lot 511 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 3: of value on them, when the truth is it's really 512 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 3: just the most popular cars that are sold. 513 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: That makes sense. 514 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 3: If there's more Hyundai Launtras on the road than anything else, 515 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 3: those are probably going to be the most stolen cars 516 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 3: as well. 517 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this over the weekend, 518 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: but maybe one of your favorite news anchors Fox News 519 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 1: is Brett Bear. He was at a Christmas party and 520 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: he was rapping again. 521 00:26:51,000 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 9: No, yeah, yeah, no, I don't. 522 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: What do you think it's awful? 523 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 10: Is it? 524 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: See? Now? I think this is just a guy who's 525 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: cutting loose. He's having fun. He's at a Christmas party. Absolutely, 526 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 1: he's letting a rap. No know, why can't he have 527 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: a good time? 528 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 2: Because he looks like an idiot and he sounds like 529 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 2: an idiot. This is stupid. 530 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 3: Look, I mean, if you're a gross, if you're a 531 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 3: grown man who's like a news anchor wearing a suit 532 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 3: and tie into work every day, he's Christmas, there are 533 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 3: no circumstances should you be filmed rapping about anything. I 534 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 3: would rather watch bad karaoke than see Brett bear wrapping. 535 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: He does this every Christmas, by the. 536 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 2: Way, doesn't make it. That makes it worse. 537 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 3: It'd be different if he just did it this one 538 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 3: time and then he and then like he sobered up 539 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 3: the next. 540 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 2: Morning he was like, oh, what can I do it? 541 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 2: What did I do last night? What you I mean? 542 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 2: I was rapping on video? 543 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: Everywhere else he does, he does it all the time. 544 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: He's just having a good time. But that's so funny. 545 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 1: He's wearing a red velvet jacket. By the way. 546 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 2: The problem is he might be having a good time, but. 547 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 3: Everyone else in attendance is having a terrible time with 548 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 3: force upon. 549 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: The people that are there are his friends, and they're 550 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: cheering him on. The only question I have about this 551 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,479 Speaker 1: is if say you're at this party and you're like 552 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: a plus one, you're a friend of the friend. Sure 553 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: you don't really know him very well, but you've seen 554 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: him on TV, right you know who? That make you 555 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: question his integrity? Of course a news story to you, 556 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: of course. 557 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 3: It would, yes, you have to have you know, you're 558 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 3: in the main news anchor on Fox News that has 559 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 3: a certain amount of GRAVI toss that goes along with it. 560 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 3: I think rapping kind of destroys that. 561 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 2: And by the way, he's only. 562 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: Allowed to have fun when he's by himself in his 563 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: own home. 564 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that's part of the deal. And by the way, 565 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 3: you said he was surrounded by his friends. Those are 566 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 3: true friends if they're letting him do that every single year, repeater, 567 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 3: real friends would be. 568 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 2: Like, Brett, Brat, Brett, you got it. You can't do that. 569 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: Dude's violating anisode or contract. 570 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 2: Don't do that so he can do it. 571 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 3: He's violating my ears, is what he's doing. That's the problem. 572 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 3: Brett Bear should not be rapping. Don't do it. It's a 573 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 3: bad look, my man. 574 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: It is the Kendall and Casey Show. 575 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:38,959 Speaker 10: It's ninety three WIBC, Big weekend for college football. 576 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: A lot was decided. So you've got number three Georgia 577 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: playing Old Miss and the Sugar Bowl that's going to 578 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: happen on January first at eight pm. You've got number 579 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: four Texas Tech versus Oregon in the Orange Bowl that 580 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: is at noon on New Year's Day. And then the 581 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: Ohio State University will be taking on Miami in the 582 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl that happens on New Year's Eve, December thirty 583 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: first as seven thirty, and then you're number one Indiana 584 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: Hoosiers versus number nine Alabama. 585 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 3: Great weekend of sports. We talked about that incredible Bears 586 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 3: game earlier. You had a crazy Monday or Sunday night 587 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 3: football game last night with the Steelers and the Lions, 588 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 3: and that came down to a very controversial call and 589 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 3: the last play of the game, and the Steelers ended 590 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 3: up winning it. But man, college football was great. We 591 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 3: had Alabama beating Oklahoma on Friday night. We had three 592 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 3: college football bowl games on Saturday. Those went pretty much 593 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 3: how we thought they would go. Tulane lost, James Madison lost. 594 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 3: It was just a great weekend of college football. And 595 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 3: now it leads us straight up until New Year's Eve 596 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 3: and New Year's Day. I can't believe that Ohio State 597 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 3: and Miami are playing on New Year's Eve. 598 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: Why is that surprising you? 599 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 3: So college football tried this a few years ago where 600 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 3: they played They put some really big bowl games on 601 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 3: New Year's Eve and the ratings weren't very good for it. 602 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: But it's the Ohio State universities. 603 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd so get some ball that'll go back to it. 604 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 3: I think it's it's an interesting concept. 605 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: So would you rather watch that game or Ryan Seacrest 606 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: New Year's Rocket? 607 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 3: Eas clearly, I'd rather watch college football on New Year's Year. 608 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 3: But I'm different than your average everyday sports fan. I'm 609 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 3: really really into it, but I cannot. I'm so looking 610 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 3: forward to the granddaddy of them all, the Rose Bowl 611 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 3: IU And now we know that they're going to be 612 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,959 Speaker 3: playing Alabama. 613 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: So they have added some new special NonStop flights at 614 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Airport to Los Angeles for the Rose Bowl. 615 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: These are going to depart on December thirtieth and thirty 616 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: first and then return January second. Extra NonStop flights. Well, 617 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: that's nice. They're expecting a lot of people to fly 618 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: out there, so let's make it direct, make it nice 619 00:31:58,520 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: and easy for you. 620 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, the airlines know that they can make a couple 621 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,959 Speaker 3: extra bucks. And because you know, those NonStop flights are 622 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 3: not going to be cheap because they're being really high demand. 623 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 3: So the airlines will make a couple extra bucks by 624 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 3: sending those games out there or sending those fans out. 625 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 2: There for the game. 626 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 3: But New Year's Day is always so great.
