1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: Death the last show Razingly in US. Good morning, it's

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: Casey and jam On ninety three WIBC. Thank you for

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: being here with us. We appreciate you. Thank you so much.

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: Windy day today, but at least the sun is out.

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: Hope you're enjoying it as we head into a nice weekend.

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: And this might be just.

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: A small, small, tiny, tiny sliver of good news if

8
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: you've been someone who has been renting for a while

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: and you're more inclined to own. The mortgage rate in

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: Indiana dropped below six percent for the first time in

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: over three years. This can boost some home buying activity

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: because the lower interest rates obviously make monthly payments cheaper.

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: And this is happening just as we head into the

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: home buying selling season.

15
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is good news, but like most things, it's

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: a mixed bag. Because Casey, I appreciate you starting with

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: good news because.

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 4: Unfortunately positive Unfortunately I have some bad news. So the

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 4: the foreclosure data for the month of February twenty twenty

20
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 4: six was just released and I'm looking at this our

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 4: article from Daily Mail, and this is data that comes

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 4: from this real estate firm called Adam and they report

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 4: on the foreclosures that happened across the country by state,

24
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 4: and unfortunately, Indiana was the number one.

25
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 3: Foreclosure state per capita in the entire nation.

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: In the entire country, and that was for February of

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 2: this year. That was for February, or foreclosures happened in

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: Indiana last month than anywhere in the entire country.

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 3: Now, that is on a per capita basis. You can't

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 3: do an apples to apples comparison of Indiana to California

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: because they have like seven or eight times the population

32
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: that we do. So yeah, when you look at it

33
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: on a per capita basis, according to the data, the

34
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: foreclosure data from this company called ADAM, Indiana ranks number

35
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: one for the most foreclosed in the country in the

36
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: month of February twenty twenty.

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: Does to say what it attributes it to because as

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: you mentioned that, I am reminded that it was just

39
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 2: about a year ago we had ourselves a little gathering

40
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: at the state House in regards to property taxes, and

41
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 2: we were told that somebody was going to fight, fight,

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: fight to lower the property taxes here in the great

43
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 2: State of Indiana. And then we were told after that

44
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: that you know, there was something up as sleeve. Governor

45
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: was working on something and it was all super top secret,

46
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: but you know it was going to happen. And so

47
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: I'm curious. Did they say in that article why the

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: foreclosures were happening? Did it have anything to do with

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: property taxes?

50
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: Even if it doesn't, Yes, say they did mention property taxes. Well,

51
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: they mentioned property taxes. Also, homeowner's insurance has gone up dramatically.

52
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: They talk about the general sense of the economy. They

53
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: talk about how weak employment was for the entire year

54
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty five. They also talk about people that

55
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: overpaid for homes during the panic buying of the pandemic

56
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: in you know twenty twenty one.

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: Is your hand if you did that?

58
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, We're part of that crew right here, raising

59
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 3: my hand. So there. It's obviously, like anything else, this big,

60
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: it's multifaceted. But yes, property taxes and the increase in

61
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: property taxes was mentioned. And man, I can't believe it's

62
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: almost been one year since the property tax rally at

63
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 3: the state House. Feels almost like so much was done,

64
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: seems like almost a lifetime ago.

65
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: So much was done. Oh wait, narrator, no, nothing was done.

66
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: Nothing was done at all, Okay, So you could read

67
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: more about this right now at WIBC dot com. WIBC

68
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: News director John Herrick put out a nice article, and

69
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: the piece also focuses on the rate change. Broader data

70
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: shows the Indiana home prices have generally risen over the

71
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: fast past few years, though affordability still remains better here

72
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: than in parts of the country, but not when you

73
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: take into consideration what you just mentioned that article from

74
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: Daily Man where Indiana has the number one state for foreclosures.

75
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, okay, so yeah, great for mortgage rates

76
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: in Indiana just went below six percent for the first

77
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: time in years. But if you just go back to

78
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: write before the pandemic, mortgage rates were in about three percent,

79
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: So it's it's a little bit better than what it

80
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 3: was the last three years, but it's dramatically worse than

81
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: where it was five or six years ago.

82
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: So you've got this from Redfin. They say Americans now

83
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 2: need an income of one hundred and eleven two hundred

84
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: and fifty two dollars to afford the median US home,

85
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: which is forty six percent higher than the seventy six

86
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: thousand required to rent.

87
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: And Donald Trump has come out and said, look, he's

88
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 3: not interested in doing anything that lowers the price of

89
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 3: existing homes for American people. He has no interest in

90
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: doing that because he believes it will destroy the wealth

91
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 3: of all the existing homeowners. And the people that are,

92
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: you know, young enough for just looking to get into

93
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: their first home are kind of out of luck. And

94
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: that's unfortun because the cost of living in this country

95
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: is out of control. People are having a hard time

96
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: affording their homes and there is no no sign on

97
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: the horizon that any of that is going to change

98
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: any time.

99
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: Show. Yeah, so Indiana still has a little bit of

100
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 2: an edge when it comes to Midwest affordability, but real

101
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: relief is going to come when we can build cheaper houses. However,

102
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: I don't see that on the horizon, especially with the

103
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: cost of everything going higher with the price of oil.

104
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: And you've got a new report.

105
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: That says there are millions of Americans who are skipping

106
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: meals or cutting back on utilities, and this is to

107
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: afford their health care. I just got another healthcare bill

108
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: just today, just another one. So let's see, eighty two

109
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: million Americans said that they had to cut back on

110
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: at least one daily living expense, and this is to

111
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: cover their healthcare bills. And they're cutting back on things

112
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: like food, even cutting back on utilities, driving less, and

113
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: borrowing money.

114
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, life has become affordable for the vast majority

115
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: of people in this country. And whether it's housing or healthcare,

116
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: or the oppressive taxes that we get at the federal, state,

117
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 3: and local level in this country, it just seems like

118
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 3: it seems like we're under attack from everywhere we turn.

119
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 3: Everywhere we turn, prices are going up for everything, taxes

120
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: keep going up, and the only thing that's not going

121
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 3: up are Americans' wages.

122
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: Okay.

123
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: According to this report, they say that health care costs

124
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: have prompted tens of millions of Americans to postpone major

125
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: life events in recent years. This includes delaying surgeries or

126
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: medical treatments. Fourteen percent have held off buying a new home,

127
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 2: and just under one tenth have put off retirement.

128
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: They can't afford it. They can't. It's that circle. It's

129
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: like your job may.

130
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: Be giving you health issues because you're either too old

131
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: or too stress, but then you got to keep working

132
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: to have the health insurance to pay for the issues

133
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 2: that the job is causing.

134
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: Well, and I think would frustrate so many people. If

135
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: you're truly poor, and I'm talking about truly poor in

136
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: this country, there are all sorts of programs for you. You

137
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: can get your housing subsidized, and your childcare and your

138
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: health insurance, and your doctor bills and your electricity bill.

139
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: You can get in pretty much almost everything in your

140
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: life subsidized if you are truly poor in this country.

141
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: But if you work for a living, and let's say

142
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: you're a family of four and you've got a household

143
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: income of about fifty or sixty thousand dollars, you likely

144
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: don't qualify for hardly any subsidies for anything. Yet you've

145
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: still got the crushing cost of living that oppresses you.

146
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: And I think that's what frustrates so many people in

147
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: the middle is that, you know what, they think they're

148
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: doing the right thing. I'm going to work, I'm showing

149
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: up every day. I've got a job. Maybe my wife

150
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: has a job or a part time job, and we've

151
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: got two kids at home, and we're the ones working,

152
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: and the poor people are getting their life subsidized, and

153
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 3: I'm the one that's got the job and going to

154
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: work every day. And I can't afford to live anymore.

155
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: That's the frustrating, most frustrating aspect of this.

156
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: I saw the story about this woman out of Kentucky,

157
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: and I thought, you know what, this kind of reminds

158
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: me of Indiana as well. She's an eighty eighty two

159
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: year old woman and her daughter fifty four years old.

160
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: They were offered over twenty six million dollars combined for

161
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: their farmland by developers.

162
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: What did the developers want to put on their farmland?

163
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: Guess I'm gonna get us guests. I'm going to My

164
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 3: first guest is going to be a data center. Second

165
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: guest solar.

166
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, huge data center project.

167
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: They turned down about sixty thousand dollars per acre for

168
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: her seventy one acre farm, and her daughter turned down

169
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: forty eight thousand dollars per acre for four hundred and

170
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,479
Speaker 2: sixty three acre property.

171
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: The project still under review by local officials.

172
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: They said the project could bring hundreds of full time

173
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: jobs and thousands of construction jobs, but the pair said.

174
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: No, thank you.

175
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: They also went on to say that they have been

176
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: subject to repeated harassment, but they're staying no matter what.

177
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: Can you imagine somebody comes in and says, yeah, we

178
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: want your land. We're going to offer you twenty six

179
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: million dollars and you.

180
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: Say no, Yeah, a lot of respect to them. We

181
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: can sit here and it's easy for us to talk

182
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: on the radio about how we hate data centers and

183
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: we think that, you know, all the bad aspects of them,

184
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: whether it's taking up our farm land and sucking all

185
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 3: of our electricity and driving utility rates up for everybody else.

186
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: With the massive tax subsidies that these data centers get.

187
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: It's another thing to have twenty six million dollars waved

188
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: in front of your face and walk away from it

189
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: based on your principle.

190
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, she said that she doubts that the fifty

191
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: quote permanent jobs that they're saying the data center will

192
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: bring would materialize or even remain local. So she is

193
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: turning down millions of dollars to stay on her farm.

194
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: And that's the big problem with these data centers is, yeah,

195
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: they will create some short term construction jobs in some

196
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 3: cases a lot of short time and construction jobs, but

197
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: there are really there's not a lot of manpower that

198
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 3: requires to maintain these data centers. You know, maybe a

199
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: couple of people in security and a couple of people

200
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: in maintenance, and maybe a couple of technical people and

201
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 3: that's about it. For the most part. These data centers

202
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 3: just run themselves and they are not long term or

203
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 3: at least a lot of long term jobs associated with

204
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 3: data centers.

205
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: Okay, so we've talked earlier in the week about some

206
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: states that are blue and they're losing some major companies.

207
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: One of them was Starbucks, right, yeah, the CEO of

208
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: Starbucks when they instituted that income tax in Washington.

209
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: He said, nope, packing up my family and I'm out

210
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: of here.

211
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: Literally within twenty four hours of the state of Washington

212
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: passing their first ever income tax. Not only did Howard Schultz,

213
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 3: the CEO of Starbucks, decide to pack his family up

214
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: to move to Florida, he also announced that Starbucks corporate

215
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: headquarters would be moving to Nashville, Tennessee.

216
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: And then you had the Yamaha Corporation moving out of

217
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: California after years and they're.

218
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: Moving to Georgia. Yes, yep, they said, no thanks.

219
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: And then you have one of the largest publicly traded

220
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: companies on Earth. They could have chosen Delaware, they didn't.

221
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: The board of.

222
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: Exon Mobile unanimously recommended that they put their domicile in Texas.

223
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, if you don't know the vast majority, it's

224
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 3: like almost seventy percent of Fortune five hundred companies in

225
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 3: the United States incorporate themselves in Delaware, and Delaware is

226
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: really done very well for this. It's very pro business entity.

227
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: And in fact, third one third of all tax revenue

228
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: for the state of Delaware comes from these corporate franchising

229
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: fees as they incorporate there. But a couple of years

230
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 3: ago when Tesla is one of the major corporations of

231
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 3: Fortune five hundred company incorporated into Delaware, and somebody in

232
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 3: Delaware decided to bring a lawsuit against the employment contract

233
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: for their CEO, Elon Musk, And there was this rogue

234
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 3: judge in Delaware which shot down his employment contract, which,

235
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 3: by the way, private entities that agreed to this contract.

236
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: The board of directors, the people in charge at Tesla,

237
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: said yes, we should play it. Pay Elon Musk this

238
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 3: much money. And Elon Musk said, thank you very much,

239
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: I will sign this contract. And for some reason this

240
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: judge in Delaware said, now you can't do that. You're

241
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: paying them too much money. So what that's essentially does.

242
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: It has spooked every other major corporation and they are

243
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: running away from Delaware as fast as they can.

244
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: Exxon Mobile, I mean, that's a huge company. Their market

245
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: cap is six hundred and twenty three billion dollars and

246
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: they said, we're out, We're going to Texas.

247
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 3: A third of the entire state of Delaware's budget comes

248
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: from these corporate franchises, and one judge may have just

249
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 3: nuked that entire business.

250
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: Another state that is turning a little Redder main mate

251
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: look blue on election night, but the registration numbers show

252
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: that it is quietly turning red in places Democrats used

253
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: to count on. Maine has been seeing a steady shift

254
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: toward Republican registration. From twenty twenty to early twenty five,

255
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: Democratic registrations tocl about six percent, while Republican registrations grew

256
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: about seven percent. You also had some third party registrations falling,

257
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: so you've got this shift Maine. Clearly, it is mostly Democrat,

258
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: but there are some pockets, especially some rural areas and

259
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: some working class areas, where they're doing some realignment. The

260
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: Republicans are making some inroads on economic issues and also

261
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: culture identity.

262
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: For the state of Maine.

263
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 3: Well, when you've got the Democrat Party that is on

264
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 3: the wrong side of about three or four or five

265
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 3: really important eighty twenty issues, it's not a surprise. Whether

266
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: it's illegal immigration or voter id or keeping boys out

267
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: of girls' locker rooms and boys out of girls' sports,

268
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 3: it makes the Democrats look so insane. I mean, come on,

269
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 3: that's how insane the Democrats look. Right now, there's a

270
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 3: Republican party's got a lot of problems. I get it,

271
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 3: a lot of problems in the Republican Party. But for

272
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: as many problems as the Republican Party has, when you

273
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: look at the Democrats, you're like, I don't care. That's

274
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: just absolutely insane. I can't support abortion right up until

275
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: the second of live birth, and I can't support wide

276
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 3: open borders. I just can't do it. And so, for

277
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 3: as flawed as the Republicans are, and they're still better

278
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: than the alternative.

279
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: Right now, coming up the Jim Ersa Auction Results and

280
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: What's Your Problem that's on the way from ninety three WIBC.

281
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to my favorite portion.

282
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: Of the program. Some might call it group therapy. I

283
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: call it What's Your Problem? Jim what's your problem.

284
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: Well, I've got this problem here is And The Guardian

285
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: has a great story out today that talks about a

286
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 3: group of Americans that are failing to pay their actually

287
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: refusing to pay their federal income taxes this year as

288
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 3: a form of protest against Donald Trump and his policies,

289
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: specifically his ice policies. This is peak Trump derangement syndrome

290
00:14:59,600 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: for sure.

291
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: So your problem is with the protesters. Well, look, I.

292
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 3: Don't like paying taxes either, but we're a country of

293
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: laws and society, and well might not like paying income taxes.

294
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: I also like not being in jail too, and that's

295
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: where you might be. But yeah, there are these people

296
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: that are coming out and saying, look, we're not paying

297
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: our income taxes, and actually, to their credit, in some way,

298
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: they've done the risk reward valuation of this. They've basically said, look,

299
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: I know that I owe ten thousand dollars or whatever

300
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: it is to the federal government in income taxes this year,

301
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 3: but I hate Donald Trump so much I'm not going

302
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: to pay them. And by the way, if the Irs

303
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: comes after me and tries to garnish my wages or

304
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: throw me in jail, I'm totally fine with that. Yeah,

305
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: I've got a problem with you. It's like the people

306
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 3: who are like the sovereign citizens, and you see these

307
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: clips on social media, whether they're in a courtroom or

308
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: being pulled over by the police, and they view that

309
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: the US government is illegitimate and therefore they don't have

310
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: to abide by any laws in this country. Okay, again,

311
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 3: let me see how far that gets you in a

312
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: court of law. But yes, I've got a problem with

313
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: these people that are just trying to opt out of

314
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 3: society by literally breaking the law.

315
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: Some of the protesters, they say they're planning to withhold

316
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: tens of thousands of dollars and instead save or redirect

317
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: their money because they object to how the government spends

318
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: tax revenue. I object to I object to how sometimes

319
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: the government is spending my money. I think I could

320
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: better do a better job of controlling the direction of it,

321
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: and I don't want to I don't want to give

322
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: them as much either. However, like you said, I don't

323
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: want to find I don't want a penalty, I don't

324
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: want my wages to be garnished, and I don't want

325
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: to go to jail.

326
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: Well, it's like cutting off your nose despite your own face.

327
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, what did you accomplish?

328
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 3: Just because you said this doesn't mean that the law

329
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: is not there. It's like in the office when Michael

330
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 3: Scott walks into the office and goes, I declare bankruptcy.

331
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean you've actually filed for bankruptcy. You're just talking.

332
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 3: It doesn't really do anything. So, yes, my problem today,

333
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 3: what's my problem? I got a problem with these idiots

334
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: that think that they can just not pay their income

335
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 3: taxes as a protest to Donald Trump, and I hope

336
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 3: the IRS goes after them hard.

337
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 2: So there is a group it's called National War Tax

338
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 2: Resistance Coordinating Committee.

339
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they said, we've.

340
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: Got rolls right off the top, doesn't that's the.

341
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee. They said that they

342
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: have reported an increased interest and participation in their tax

343
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: withholding training and activism, and they want to hold similar

344
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 2: protests that were done like during the Vietnam War or

345
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: even symbolic moments like the Boston tea Party.

346
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 3: Well, and the problem is these people think they're above

347
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 3: the law, and that's really what's calling about this. It's

348
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: like all those student protests we saw on campus the

349
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 3: you know pro Hamas protests that took place, and in

350
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 3: some instances they trashed buildings and they were told to

351
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 3: leave by the universities, and they refused to leave, and

352
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 3: those universities ended up treating them like kid gloves. With

353
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 3: kid gloves. These people think that they're above the law

354
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 3: and that their moral high ground and moral superiority should

355
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 3: absolve them from any consequences for their actions. No, I

356
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 3: hate taxes too, but if you don't pay your taxes,

357
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: you should go to jail.

358
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: You're listening to ninety three WIVC Good Morning. Official Pentagon

359
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 2: photos might be neat, but nothing beats independent press shots.

360
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 2: That's how people actually see what's going on in the moment.

361
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: The Pentagon has stopped allowing independent press photographers at recent

362
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 2: briefings given by the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth about

363
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: the Iran War.

364
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: This is a break from tradition.

365
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 2: Normally, outlets like the Associated Press and Reuters and Getty

366
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: Images they have photographers present to capture real time images

367
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: of government briefings. But the Pentagon has come out and said, no,

368
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 2: we're not going to do that. They're saying it is

369
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: about limited space and also managing credentials, not about censorship

370
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: or image control.

371
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is part of a broader plan by

372
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 3: the Trump administration to change the way that they interact

373
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: with the press. And as somebody who's worked in the

374
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 3: media for over thirty years, my default position is, you know,

375
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 3: the press should have access to our public institutions, our

376
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: and our and our public politicians as much as possible.

377
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 3: But I totally get where Trump is coming from here

378
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 3: because for decades the press has been so liberal, so

379
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: biased towards the Democrats, so against everything that Republicans have

380
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 3: done for generations that this is really the only option

381
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: that the Trump administration has left. And it started with

382
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 3: the main White House press room and the Press Secretary

383
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 3: Caroline Levitt, and they changed the way they do it.

384
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 3: Not only did they kind of shift them around within

385
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: the press the press room, but they also kicked out

386
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: some longtime traditional media members and brought in new media members.

387
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 3: That's okay, hey, by the way, mainstream media, you did

388
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 3: this to yourself. You did this to yourself by being

389
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: in the bag for the Democrats for generations. I mean,

390
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 3: it was it was Biden, and it was Clinton, it

391
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,959
Speaker 3: was Obama, I mean, you were having long showers with

392
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 3: whoever was a Democrat in office till three o'clock in

393
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 3: the morning. You guys were good buddies on everything, and

394
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 3: everything a Republican did, you trashed them on it. So

395
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: this is your fault, mainstream media. Don't blame anybody else.

396
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 3: So I give the Trump a pass on this, because

397
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 3: the only way to manage this and control it is

398
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 3: to change the dynamic and change the situation. They did

399
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 3: that in the White House Press office. They did it

400
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 3: to a large degree in the press room at the

401
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 3: Pentagon as well. And this was a story about three

402
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 3: or four months ago about again, how right if you

403
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 3: want credentials, these are the types of things you need

404
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 3: to do. And the mainstream media was like, oh, this

405
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: is the worst thing in the world. And the Trump

406
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 3: administration was like, Oh, if you weren't in bed with

407
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 3: the Democrats for the last three generations, we wouldn't have

408
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 3: had to go this far. But this is another part

409
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 3: of it. Look, they're they're very concerned about about the

410
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 3: way the liberal media can take content from these press

411
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 3: briefings and then manipulate it against Republicans. And that's what

412
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 3: they've done for generations.

413
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and instead of independent photos, Pentagon staff photographers are

414
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: now supplying official images, So these are pre selected photos

415
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: that are going to be turned over for the briefing photos.

416
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 2: Critics are saying that this looks more like Pentagon pr

417
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: theater though, rather than getting photos of what actually happened

418
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 2: in the moment.

419
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 3: Well, too bad. If the liberal media hadn't been so

420
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 3: and bad for the Democrats going back to the days

421
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 3: of Walter Cronkite, then we wouldn't be in this situation

422
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 3: right now. The media has nobody to blame but themselves.

423
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 3: But spoiler alert, they're not going to blame themselves. They'll

424
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 3: just go back to blaming the Republicans like they always have.

425
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: And we can go back recent history. And I know

426
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 3: I bring this up all the time, but I'm never

427
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 3: going to forget it. It is when Joe Scarborough sat

428
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 3: there on MSNBC right before the debates with Donald Trump.

429
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 3: Right before those debates, Joe Scarborough said, I have seen

430
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 3: Joe Biden recently and this is the sharpest Joe Biden

431
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 3: I have ever seen. And a month later, Biden went

432
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: out there in the debate with President Trump and craped

433
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 3: the bed and everybody went, oh boy, we got a

434
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: problem here.

435
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: Just proofing that they were in bed with them.

436
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: Okay, so there's people that are criticizing it, saying that

437
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 2: it is a threat to transparency and independent reporting during

438
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: an active war.

439
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: They're not barring them from getting quotes, though, Yeah, do.

440
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: Your own hustle. When Seth you know, leaves the building

441
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: and put a camera and a microphone in his face,

442
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 3: then take your photo somewhere else. Oh I'm sorry, mainstream media,

443
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 3: you may just have to work a little bit harder

444
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 3: to get what the government used to give you before.

445
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: But again, it's your fault. If you hadn't acted like this,

446
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 3: then the Trump administration wouldn't have to treat you like

447
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 3: children right now.

448
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: So, if you're paying fourteen million dollars for a guitar,

449
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: what you're saying is this isn't just a music instrument,

450
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: this is a piece of American history.

451
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: Crazy big money.

452
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 2: We got some of the results from the Jim Ers

453
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 2: Collection auction which happened yesterday, and a legendary guitar owned

454
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 2: by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, known as Black Strat, sold

455
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 2: at auction for fourteen point five five million dollars, the

456
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: highest price ever paid for a guitar at auction.

457
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 3: This was great because I was watching all of this

458
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: in real time last night. In case you know, I

459
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 3: have a business that is based on collectibles, so this

460
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 3: is right up my alley and it was fascinating to watch.

461
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 3: So the all time record price paid for any guitar

462
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 3: anywhere was broken three times last night during that auction.

463
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 3: It was first broken when Kurt Cobain's Fender Mustang guitar

464
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: sold for almost seven million dollars, and then one of

465
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 3: Jerry Garcia's guitars sold for eleven and a half million dollars.

466
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 3: And then you had the big one, the David gilre

467
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: that sold for fourteen and a half.

468
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: Million or fourteen and a half million dollars. Do you

469
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 2: have some of the totals of any of the other items.

470
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: I have the totals of everything here. That John Lennon

471
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 3: piano sold for three point two million dollars, and Eric

472
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 3: Clapton guitars sold for three million dollars. Secretariats saddle that

473
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 3: was used during all three Triple Crown races sold for

474
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 3: one point five million dollars.

475
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: Really, that's it. I would have thought that would have

476
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: gone more interesting.

477
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: Somebody will pay fourteen million dollars for a guitar, but

478
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: only a million and a half, I say, only a

479
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: million and a half for Secretariat's saddle.

480
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 3: Well, you gotta think horse racing just isn't as big

481
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: as music in this country. I mean, horse racing is

482
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 3: an ultra niche sport. For as awesome as the Kentucky

483
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: Derby and the Triple Crown are, it's just still never

484
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 3: as big as the entire music industry. My absolute favorite

485
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 3: item out of everything was a concert poster from nineteen

486
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 3: fifty nine that was the poster for the show that

487
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 3: featured the Big Bopper Richie Valens and Buddy Holly the

488
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 3: night they were killed. So this is the concert poster

489
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: from the show that they put on right before they

490
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 3: got on that plane and it crashed and they were killed,

491
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 3: and it's obviously has been immortalized by Don McClain in

492
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 3: American Pie and known as the Day the Music Died.

493
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: So that concert poster sold for four hundred and fifty

494
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: seven thousand dollars. Wow for a concert poster, that's great.

495
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 3: That was to me, that's the kind of the coolest

496
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 3: one because that is really, it's the only known copy

497
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 3: of this specific show, and it's really it just kind

498
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 3: of what an incredible moment in time for music, and

499
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: this poster kind of captures that. And there's only one

500
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 3: of them. That one, to me, I found was the

501
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 3: most interesting.

502
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: It does show you, though, that people are going to

503
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 2: pay more for guitar from a rock god than most

504
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: families pay for a house, right, I mean fourteen and

505
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: a half million dollars for a guitar.

506
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: That tells you. That shows you though, how.

507
00:25:53,800 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 2: Upside down things can be and how really really, I

508
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 2: mean whale type rich people value things versus everyday costs.

509
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: That you know, we struggle with just as normies.

510
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 3: Oh look, I'm not justifying any of these prices. This

511
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: is stupid. It's all stupid. It's ridiculously stupid the kind

512
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 3: of money that's being paid. Another very cool one was

513
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 3: the nineteen It was Hunter S. Thompson's nineteen seventy three

514
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 3: Chevrolet Caprice Classic convertible that was also used in the

515
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 3: movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in nineteen ninety eight.

516
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 3: A very cool looking car. Two hundred and fifty four

517
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 3: thousand dollars is how much of that went.

518
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: For So we've got Saint Patrick's Day coming up in

519
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 2: four days.

520
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: May God hold you in the palm of his hand

521
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: and not squeezed too tightly.

522
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: Indianapolis hosting a series of Saint Patrick's Day events, and

523
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: you've got tonight today the forty fourth annual Saint Patrick's

524
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: Day Parade, and on Saturday the fun fitness events at

525
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 2: Military Park with the thirty third annual Shamrock Run and

526
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 2: Walk the Lucky Dog five k. Yep, dogs are welcome.

527
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: Plus you have the twenty one plus Shamrock Beer Run

528
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 2: five k and Brewfest with running and beer tasting. That

529
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 2: to me does not sound like a good mix running

530
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: and beer tasting.

531
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: Pick one or the other. You know what, I do

532
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: both of those. Guess what. It's more like beer tasting

533
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: and vomiting.

534
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it is. And in fact, you know what,

535
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 3: just leave the running altogether, Just do your drinking. You

536
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: don't have to mix the two of them. I've whenever

537
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: it takes. Look, I'm a man of a certain age,

538
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 3: but whenever Saint Patrick's Day comes around, I do get

539
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 3: nostalgic for my going out days back in my twenties.

540
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: And I mean Saint Patrick was the going out drinking

541
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 3: holiday of the year. You waited for it, you plan

542
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 3: for it, your friends all where are we going? Which

543
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 3: places are we going to? We just stay at one

544
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: place all night and we get a bar hop from

545
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: place to place to place. And those days for me,

546
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,479
Speaker 3: for the most part, are over. So now what I

547
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: am left for is my not what I'm left with

548
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 3: is my second part, favorite part of Saint Patrick's Day,

549
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 3: which is corn beef and cats.

550
00:27:59,440 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

551
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 3: And the challenge there has been that when you know

552
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 3: our daughter was living with us, you and our daughter

553
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 3: don't care for corn beef and cabbage. And that's probably

554
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: putting it very nicely. And so I was, You're on

555
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: your own. I was always on my own every Saint

556
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 3: Patrick's Day to find a mission to see where I

557
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 3: could go out and find corn beef and cabbage. And

558
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 3: so I have. This is according to trip Advisor, these

559
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 3: are the top three restaurants in Indianapolis that will be

560
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: serving corn beef and cabbage.

561
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: Where are you going?

562
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 3: So we'll start at number three. Good Morning Mama's Cafe

563
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 3: they come in at number three. The restaurant Yoke comes

564
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 3: in at number two, and then No surprise if you

565
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 3: know anything about this restaurant, the number one place according

566
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 3: to trip Advisor to find corn beef and cabbage in Indianapolis,

567
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 3: Shapiro's Delicatessen. That is going to be where I'm going

568
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 3: to go to get my corn beef and cabbage done

569
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 3: to or right. You know what. I may actually order

570
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 3: three or four of them and they just put them

571
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 3: in the fridge and they just live off of corn

572
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 3: beef and cabbage all next week, you've.

573
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: Got broad Rupfle hosting the Saint Patrick's State Tent Party.

574
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: They've got live music festivities and Irish food and live

575
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 2: music at Rathscaler rath Scaler downtown as well. That's going

576
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: to happen actually on Tuesday. Plan accordingly with your Saint

577
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: Patrick's Day celebrations.

578
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, my celebration will be, you know,

579
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 3: picking up a bunch of corn beef and cabbage at

580
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 3: Shapiro's and then going home and eating it, and then

581
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: you know, letting the young people go out and have

582
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: their fun and do their partying in their in their

583
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 3: tent parties and all the other Saint Patrick's Day fund.

584
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: Well, if you do it and you're going out and

585
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: you want to meet someone and you want to impress them,

586
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 2: maybe you should speak in a warm, spoken Southern draw Because,

587
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 2: according to a new survey of about two thousand Americans,

588
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: the Southern American accent you know what you would hear

589
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 2: in Texas or Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, the Carolinas, and Tennessee,

590
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: was ranked as the most attractive overall American accent.

591
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 3: Now, what's interesting to note here is the there are

592
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 3: various dialects of the Southern accent. Sures is not just

593
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 3: one Southern act. Because you have you know what I

594
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: think you described, which is the sweet Southern bale that

595
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 3: may have this nice, you know, beautiful Southern ac and

596
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 3: then you got, you know, kind of the the hey, y'all,

597
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 3: was this that sort of accent? My guess is that's

598
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 3: not the appealing part of the Southern accent.

599
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: So Louisiana or Cajun English came in second praise for

600
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: its melodic spin on Southern speech.

601
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: New York City accents also ranked high.

602
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 2: Surely a bold, distinctive speech that appeals to many.

603
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 3: Really, that is a surprise to me if the New

604
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 3: York accent would rank high.

605
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: So other accents in the top ten included Miami, which

606
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: is obviously Latino influenced. Midwestern what, well, we don't have

607
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 2: an accent.

608
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: By the lack of accent.

609
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's classified as Midwestern, but you know,

610
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 3: my favorite accent the Chicago. The Chicago accent, your honor.

611
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: There's no way that my client could have possibly been

612
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: involved in such a terrible event. I have to bleed

613
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 3: ignorance on.

614
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 1: That's more of a that's a uper accent.

615
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: You've also got California, Boston, the Great Lakes, and Philadelphia

616
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: all ranking high, and then Appalachian English, which is a

617
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: smoky mountain style, was ranked least attractive. So what you

618
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: were saying that there's that different kind of Southern accent,

619
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 2: maybe what you were referring to was the Appalachian accent.

620
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 2: The poll said that accents can influence dating decisions. Sixty

621
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 2: percent of people who are single said someone's accent affects

622
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: whether they would swipe right on a dating app.

623
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 3: I am surprised there was nothing about the Minnesota accent

624
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: up there, or the northern Wisconsin and northern Michigan accent,

625
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 3: which is of course so oh yeah, you bet jah.

626
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 3: It was made famous in the movie Fargo. Oh I

627
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 3: think I'm gonna bar Yeah, that is also a highly

628
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 3: distinctive accent as well.

629
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: Who won the week? We'll discuss it coming up. It's

630
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: ninety three WIBC.

631
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 5: BAK.

632
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: It is time to discuss who won the.

633
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: Week as we wrap up the show on this Friday.

634
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 2: It is Casey and Jim, thanks for being here. Before

635
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 2: we can determine who won the week, we have to

636
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: talk about who lost the week, who were the big losers,

637
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: And right off the bat, I have to start out

638
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: with Senate Majority Leader John Thune.

639
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: He did not win the week.

640
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 2: Lots of pushback even from his own party for not

641
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: fully aligning with Donald Trump on every issue, especially when

642
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 2: it comes to the Save America Act.

643
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, You've got one job as Senate Minority Leader for

644
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 3: the most for the most part, and that is to

645
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 3: get the rest of the people in your party to

646
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 3: line up behind your legislative agenda. And the Save Act

647
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 3: is an eighty twenty issue where the Republicans are on

648
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 3: the right side of it. It is extremely important to

649
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 3: Donald Trump and on Thune is still fumbling around trying

650
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 3: to get all the Republicans on board with voting for

651
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 3: this much less the Democrats. Look, we know the Democrats

652
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 3: are going to be against this, they're out of their minds.

653
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: But John Thune can't even get the Republicans to be

654
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 3: on board with that, and that's why he is on

655
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 3: the list of being one of the losers of the

656
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 3: Week this week.

657
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 2: Generally seen as a policy focused institutionalist rather than an

658
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: ideological firebrand, but that moderation is probably why he's getting

659
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 2: some of this criticism. It's like, do it or get

660
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 2: off the pod.

661
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: Well, this is how bad things are. People are talking about.

662
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 3: Maybe the idea of making jd Vance the majority leader

663
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 3: in the Senate, which has precedent, hasn't happened in a

664
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: couple hundred years, but it has precedent. That's how bad

665
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: of a job John Thune is doing.

666
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 2: Also on the loser's list, you've got the Las Vegas Raiders.

667
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 3: This was a big sports story, so they've got a

668
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 3: huge and powerful defensive end named Max Crosby. There was

669
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 3: this blockbuster trade where they sent him to the Baltimore

670
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 3: Ravens in exchange for a couple of first round picks,

671
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 3: and the Baltimore Ravens did their physical on him and

672
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 3: he did not pass the physical hikes, and that means

673
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 3: the trade is off. And the worst part about that

674
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 3: is all these other NFL teams were making all these

675
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: trades while this transition was trying to process. And now

676
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 3: all the great players are pretty much signed to be traded,

677
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 3: and now Max Crosby's back on the Raiders and they

678
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: got to figure out what they're going to do with them.

679
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 3: The Las Vegas Raiders took it on the chin this week.

680
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 3: Horrible week from that.

681
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: Why didn't he pass this physical?

682
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 3: He had a meniscus injury in one of his knees,

683
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 3: and that is part of every single NFL trade. There's

684
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 3: a physical, that's part of it. And the Ravens didn't

685
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 3: like what they saw and they canceled the trade, and

686
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 3: they're within their right to do that, and it was

687
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: a big mess for the Raiders.

688
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: Also on the losers list this week pretty much all

689
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: of US car owners.

690
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm right now. I've got the Triple A website

691
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 3: pulled up right now, and the current average price per

692
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 3: gallon of gas in the state of Indiana's three dollars

693
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 3: and forty seven cents, and nine days ago it was

694
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 3: two dollars and eighty five cents, so almost a seventy

695
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: cent increase in just over a week and a half.

696
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so with the price of oil going up, the

697
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 2: price of gas is going up, and of course all

698
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: of us car owners were feeling it. And that's not

699
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 2: even to mention the cost of owning and maintaining the car.

700
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 2: That's expensive as well in your insurance too. And those

701
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 2: numbers just look like they're going to keep on rising. Finally,

702
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 2: another person or organization that lost the week, Live Nation,

703
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 2: being accused of using monopoly power to dominate ticketing and

704
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: concert promotion, leading to higher prices and also limited competition.

705
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: And also the internal messages from employees revealing in court

706
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 2: that some of their staff was joking about overcharging and

707
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: robbing ticket buyers with high fees. That has definitely fueled

708
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 2: some public outrage against that company.

709
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: So Live Nation loser.

710
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's one of the quotes. This is from a

711
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 3: Live Nation employee, who by the way, owns ticket Master

712
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 3: as well. These people are so stupid. I almost feel

713
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: bad for taking advantage of them, and that's why they

714
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 3: settled with the Department of Justice for a two hundred

715
00:35:59,160 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 3: and eighty million dollar PA.

716
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: All Right, we've got to do a rapid round of

717
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: who won the week.

718
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: Our contenders include Travis Kelcey announcing that after fourteen years,

719
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 2: he's not done yet, still going to be playing football

720
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: for the Kansas City Chiefs and got himself a brand

721
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 2: ambassador position for amusement parks.

722
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, surprising that he's coming back for another season in

723
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 3: the NFL.

724
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 2: Another winner of the week also NFL Daniel Jones from

725
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts.

726
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he got it. Paid eighty eight million dollars

727
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 3: in two years, forty four million a year. I think

728
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 3: the Colts might be the losers on that, but Daniel

729
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 3: Jones definitely the winner.

730
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Daniel Jones.

731
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm confident I'll be ready to go. I think

732
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 5: my goal was to be ready for Week one.

733
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: You know.

734
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 5: With that being said, I understand it is a process

735
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 5: and there's there's a lot of work to do, you know,

736
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 5: and you know I'm ready to do it. So I've

737
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 5: got to continue to, like I said, check the boxes

738
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 5: progress as the doctors and and pts and you know,

739
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 5: everybody instruct and my jobs to do the work and

740
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 5: make sure I'm I'm consistent with that. So that's what

741
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 5: I'll do and I think if I continue to do

742
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 5: that and progress, I should be ready to go.

743
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: Another winner on the list for this week. Who won

744
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 1: the week locally?

745
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 2: Greg Ballard dominating the news, running for Indiana Secretary of State,

746
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: introducing the Lincoln Party.

747
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: And we have to crown our winner.

748
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, winner of the week Jake Paul right getting an

749
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 3: endorsement for a political office from Donald Trump. He's not

750
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 3: even running for office. Trump is already endorsing Jake Paul

751
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 3: for his political future.

752
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: Jack Paul won the week, and so did you. Thank

753
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: you so much for listening. Thank you, Jim, Thank you Kevin.

754
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: Have a great weekend. This is ninety three WIB
