1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: There is an extremely long list at WIBC dot com 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: right now of all of the closings and delays that 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: are happening across central Indiana. And you notice this and 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: it's really fascinating. Wibc's John at Cruz posted a video 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: right now on her Twitter account. WIBC has retweeted it, 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: and it's the interstates just north of downtown Indianapolis in 7 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: the city compared to the north side of India outside 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: of the city. And it's pretty striking because when you 9 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: look at the roads within the city, there's still snow covered. 10 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: There are many cars pulled off to the side, and 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: then when you get out in the burbs, the roads 12 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: are a little clear. 13 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, and these aren't side streets. We're talking about this 14 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 2: video that Janet Cruise from WIBC has posted. She's on 15 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: an interstate in the city of Indianapolis and you can 16 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: see that the road is completely snow covered. But what's 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: really shocking about it are all the cars off to 18 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: the side of the road. I mean, it's the part 19 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: where she's in the city of Indianapolis. Maybe fifteen seconds 20 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: of the video, I probably counted at least fifteen cars 21 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: that were on the side of the road either in 22 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: accidents or were stock had their flashers on. And then 23 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 2: the next part of the video, she's driving outside of 24 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: the city, still on the interstate in the northern suburbs, 25 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 2: and I can actually see pavement. Actually there's very little snow, 26 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: if in any on the interstate at all. It's a 27 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: really great video if you can find it on Twitter 28 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 2: right now. Again, John at Cruz posted it. Wibc's Twitter 29 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: reposted it. It's a shocking side by side comparison. 30 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: It wasn't me using a few choice words on the 31 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: way in complaining about why I pay property taxes. It's 32 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: a good thing my roads aren't clear. 33 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: It's a good thing these microphones are off while we're 34 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 2: in the car driving into the radio station in the morning. Yeah, 35 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: choice words is a polite way of putting what was 36 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: coming out of your mouth at that time. 37 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. Many people questioning if India's leadership doesn't actively try 38 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,279 Speaker 1: to make things worse for people within the city, because 39 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: as you drive around, you'll notice the roads in the 40 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: city are not Look, there are. 41 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: Just a handful of things that if you're a local 42 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: city mayor politician, that your city's got to do, got 43 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: to make sure to get the trash removal done. You've 44 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: got to keep the streets safe, and when it snows outside, 45 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: you've got to applow those streets. In Indianapolis. Again, this 46 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: isn't like a surprise. It has been years and years 47 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: that this has been going on, where their snowplow plan 48 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 2: and process has just failed to meet the expectations of 49 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 2: the citizens of Indianapolis. 50 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: Now, many people saying, yes, but the interstate falls under 51 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: state jurisdiction. Correct, But talk to me about the city 52 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: streets then. 53 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 2: Exactly. We just opened the show at nine o'clock this 54 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: morning talking about how most of the side streets look 55 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 2: like they have not been touched in the city of Indianapolis. 56 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: And they knew this was coming. So there have been 57 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: a lot of people across the country affected by this snowstorm, 58 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: over two hundred and fifty million under cold weather alerts 59 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: and there have been over eight hundred and ten thousand 60 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: customers without power. Now that is not here in our area. Yeah, 61 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: mostly hit in Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Of course 62 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: they have more ice than they do. The amount of 63 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: snow that we have and the ice damaging the trees 64 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: and taking power lines down as well. Lots of flights 65 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: have been canceled as well, and you've got record amounts 66 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: of snow even here in Indianapolis, and eleven point one 67 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: inches is what they recorded at the airport. 68 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 2: And city leaders rightly, so all weekend long, we're saying, 69 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: you know, if you don't have to leave your house, 70 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: don't go anywhere. And we took that to heart this weekend. 71 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: Sat around all weekend, eight snacks and watched shows and 72 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: movies and did not leave the house once. No, glorious. 73 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 2: You loved single loved every minute of it. Are you 74 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: kidding me? We had a wonderful afternoon and evening of 75 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: Pro football yesterday. I had great shows on all weekend long, 76 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 2: fabulous snacks. You made a delicious dessert. It was a 77 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: great weekend of not leaving the house. 78 00:03:59,120 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: One time. 79 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 2: I got out of one time. We talked about this 80 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: earlier at nine o'clock. Yeah, you did spend a lot 81 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: of time resting and recuperating, and you own it. You 82 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: did get out of bed one time this weekend and 83 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: it was to make dessert and it was delicious, totally 84 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: worth it. 85 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: Shower on Saturday, Come on, give me that credit. 86 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: Could you It was worth it? And you know, we 87 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: went and stocked up and got some snacks on Friday afternoon, 88 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: and the snow didn't start falling until Saturday afternoon. We 89 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: went through almost all the snacks within the first twenty 90 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 2: four hours before the first snowflake fell. 91 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: A big difference between snow days of yesteryear and now. 92 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: When I was young, it didn't matter how cold it was. 93 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: You were getting bundled up and you were going outside 94 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: and you were going to play in the snow. Yeah 95 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: I wasn Now you're on your phone on the couch. 96 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 2: I think I'm happier as an adult in a nice, toasty, 97 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: warm house with a hot toddy than I was as 98 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: a nine year old child building snowmen and trying to 99 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: slide down my neighbor's backyard. 100 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, so temperatures. There's that travel warning still in effect 101 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: and most of the area still under weather warnings. 102 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: And advisories, and rightly so. Look, I mean I think 103 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: it still holds true. A lot of businesses, in schools 104 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: and events are closed today. I would just you know, 105 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: if you've got someplace or a meeting or something you've 106 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: got to be assume it's going to be canceled, double check. 107 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: But most things have been canceled. And on the drive 108 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 2: endo the radio station this morning, we saw very few 109 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: cars on the road. 110 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: Okay, so we have to talk about Oh, by the way, 111 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: speaking of everything being canceled, the House has canceled all 112 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: business today in the state. 113 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 2: The Indiana State Houses state on all business today. 114 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. So they had started out by canceling all the 115 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: committee meetings and then they changed it to just all 116 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: business in the House, just completely canceled. So they're not 117 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: working for you today. They took the day off as well. 118 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: So does that mean taxpayers are saving a ton of 119 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: money because the state House isn't open today? 120 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: Clearly? 121 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: No, oh no, no, we're not going to We're not 122 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 2: saving any money at all. 123 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: One thing that did happen last week was that Delaney 124 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: has requested that they do a probe into the IEDC. 125 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: He wants to uncover potential IEDC fraud and issues subpoenas 126 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: if necessary, and deliver a final report of an investigation 127 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: by July first. This in addition to the audit that 128 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,119 Speaker 1: was already done. 129 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: Look, I would love it if they would do an 130 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: investigation into the IEDC because what we found out in 131 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: the audit, I think probably just scratch the surface of 132 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: what's going on there. But this is nothing other than 133 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 2: dinner theater. Because the Republicans have a super majority and 134 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 2: this is a Democrat, and Delaney making this suggestion, So 135 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 2: I imagine that this will get filed into the trash 136 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: can in the order in which it was received. I mean, 137 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: but I fully support this taking place. I just don't 138 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: think there's any chance that it's going to take place 139 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: because the IEDC has shown that these aren't just over 140 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: from the surface. It looks like these aren't just oversight failures. 141 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: This is exactly what critics and this station has been 142 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: warning about when they made this massively powerful economic engine. 143 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: But because it's this quasi public entity, there's virtually no 144 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: oversight whatsoever. So yeah, Ed Delaney, I wish you the 145 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 2: best of luck in this adventure that you're on, even 146 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: though it has no chance of passing. But I would 147 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: love to see an absolute investigation of the IEDC. Should 148 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 2: be public, it should be televised, the House should be 149 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: armed with subpoena powers and turn this into a fully 150 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 2: transparent state agency with real checks and balances. That's what 151 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: should happen, So. 152 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: We salute A. Delaney in his high purpose, so well 153 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: befitting manhood, his endeavor of this will it happen? Who knows? 154 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: He introduced House Resolution fifteen eleven, and it was to 155 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: establish a House Select Committee on Accountability. He said that 156 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: there were so many issues that came up in that audit, 157 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: that one hundred and twenty seven page audit, that they 158 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: need to dig a little deeper. He has concerns that 159 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: the IEDC is an orphan agency operating with excessive independence. 160 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: And he highlighted some of the things that were found 161 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: in that FTI report and their observations, Number one being 162 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: the Leap Project six thousand plus acres of Boone County 163 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: farmland purchased at five times of market value. He also 164 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: is curious about the water rights, what is going on 165 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: with the water from the Eagle Creek Reserve and the 166 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: industrial sites surrounding it. And also what was going on 167 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: with Dave Roberts. You remember the three article that came 168 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: out and how he was a former executive who joined 169 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: a partnership and then that company received lots of money 170 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: in state funds. He expressed reluctance to allocate further funds 171 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 1: to IEDC until an investigation is complete. Now will this 172 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: fifteen to eleven move forward? It does require that the 173 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: House Speaker, Todd Houston, approves it for it to proceed. 174 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: And here's the real problem with what Ed Delaney's trying 175 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: to do is he's late on this. This should have 176 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 2: been something that people put forward last year when they 177 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 2: were discussing the potential of an audit. Then it should 178 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: have been at that point in time the lawmakers came 179 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: forward and say, hey, look and audit's great, but let's 180 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,359 Speaker 2: take this a step further and do a full investigation, 181 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 2: and let's get some subpoena power, and let's find out 182 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: what's really going on here. Because those that love the 183 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: IEDC just the way it is right now can come 184 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 2: back to Ed Delaney and go, well, we already audited 185 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 2: him last year. We did this already. We don't need 186 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 2: to create a whole investigation. We did the audit, we 187 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 2: found some problems, we made some changes. Ed Delaney, I 188 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about. He's just too late 189 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: on this. This should have been the conversation we were 190 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: having a year ago. But because it's a year late, 191 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 2: because the audit's now already been done. Those that want 192 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: to protect the current structure the idd C consider and say, oh, look, 193 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: that's that's old news. We already took care of that problem. 194 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 3: Well. 195 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: The one thing that that audit did show was that 196 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: there were thirty different undisclosed conflicts of interests. There was some. 197 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: Is that a lot? When you say thirty undisclosed conflicts 198 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: of interest? When you say that out loud, it sounds 199 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 2: like a lot to men. I'm not problem. I'm not 200 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: really familiar with how many disclosed conflicts of interest are 201 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: a lot compared to what's not a lot? 202 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: He's okay, thirty one too much. 203 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: That's where we have the problem. We just missed the 204 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: We missed the line to where we would create an investigation. 205 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: So sure, we're fine. 206 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: Excessive travel spending as well, And the audit did not 207 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: confirm any criminal activity, but it did highlight a culture 208 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: of secrecy. Don't you think yeah. 209 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 2: I'd say so, that's a kind way of putting it. 210 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 2: A culture of secrecy. Maybe slush fund would be another 211 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 2: way to put it. Maybe in opaque, quasi government agency 212 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 2: where we have no idea what's going on. They did 213 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: the audit that was the way for Braun to wash 214 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: his hand from this and say, see, it's all taken 215 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 2: care of it. We don't have to do anything. IDC's fine, 216 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: it's fine. Now you don't get to worry about this. 217 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: Well, you had mentioned that it was late for a 218 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: Delaney to bring this up, but at least he is. 219 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: He's bringing it back, he's look keeping in top of mind. 220 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: Drops on him. 221 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: We're still questioning this organization, you know what. 222 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 2: But it's like the same as if I decided that 223 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: I was going to run for president in twenty twenty eight. 224 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: Oh hey, Jim, great for you. I applaud you on 225 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 2: that effort to run for president in twenty twenty eight. 226 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: It's got no chance of happening, but I went and 227 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 2: did it. So it's again, this is all for show. 228 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 2: It's all dinner theater. I'm not going to give Ed 229 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 2: Delaney too much credit on this again, because he was 230 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 2: a whole year late. Where was this talk about an 231 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 2: investigation a year ago when they were negotiating and talking 232 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: about whether or not to bring an audit to the IEDC. 233 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of the Songwriters Hall of Fame? 234 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: I have not did not know there was such a thing. 235 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 2: Is that like a place you can go and visit, 236 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 2: like the rock and roll Hall of Fame? 237 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: In usual, there is a Songwriters Hall of Fame and 238 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: they have released their list of induct ds. Gene Simmons 239 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: and Paul Stanley from Kiss, They're on the list.

Paul Stanley 252 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 2: in the Songwriters Hall of Fame? 253 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: Correct? You know? 254 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 2: I mean, hey, I'm not going to bash on Kiss. 255 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 2: Great rock and roll band. Have you ever thought of 256 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: them as being incredible songwriters? 257 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: No makeup artists?

Yes, Songwriter Hall of Fame. 260 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 2: Did it take a brilliant songwriter to come up with 261 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: the lyrics? They call me doctor Love? 262 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: Huh? 263 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: Look good for them, that's fine, But what are the 264 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 2: standards of the Songwriters Hall of Fame When Jean Stanley, 265 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 2: Jean Simmons, Jim Simmons, and Paul Stanley get in. 266 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is also on the list. 267 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: You know, I'm a Taylor Swift fan, so I will 268 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: not I will not have any comment about that. 269 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: I think alanusmore Set being on the list that's probably 270 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: one of the better ones. 271 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: Very valid.

Bumber music from 288 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: Elanasmore said, thank you, Kevin. 289 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: Nice job, Kevin. So last year was a banner year 290 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: for Indianapolis. According to the executive vice president of Visit Indy, 291 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five was the city's best year ever for tourism. 292 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: Of course, downtown saw record numbers for hotel occupancy and 293 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: rooms sold, and the executive vice president of Visit Indy 294 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: says that the surge indicates a healthy economy and visitors 295 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: are boosting spending at restaurants, shops, and local attractions. 296 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, we had the Olympic swimming Trials that took place 297 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 2: at Lucas Oil Field. We had the NBA All Star Game, 298 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 2: which was a game bridge a couple of and we 299 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: had the normal events that always take place, like the 300 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: NFL Combine and the Pacers and the Colts and the 301 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: Fever and everything else. But I think those two events 302 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 2: that were one time or at least first time events 303 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: in Indianapolis were probably huge drivers for that last year. 304 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: Combine slated to stay here in Indianapolis at least through 305 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: twenty eight. 306 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: Right, Yes, through twenty twenty eight, we will continue to 307 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: have the combine here in Indianapolis and over there Lucas 308 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: oil Field. And if you've never gone, I hope they 309 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: do it the same way this year that they've done 310 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: in previous years. I've gone twice. Now, tickets are free. 311 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 2: You do have to go on the NFL's app and 312 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: register for them, but there's no cost for tickets and 313 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: you just go and you get to watch all these 314 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 2: college athletes essentially exercising, lifting weights and doing high jumps 315 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 2: and broad jumps, but the forty yard dash, watching them 316 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: run the forty yard dash, it's just really a cool event. 317 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: Now we've got and we'll talk about this later in 318 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: the show. Yesterday the Super Bowl was determined, who's going 319 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: to be playing in And you've got the NFL Draft 320 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: is going to be in Pittsburgh. 321 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh this year, Yes, Pittsburgh. 322 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: Guess who wants it? 323 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 2: Every other NFL city wants the NFL. 324 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: Draft, including Indianapolis. Hey, uh huh, they're pitching on hosting 325 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: the NFL Draft here in Indy. 326 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 2: I wonder how long, let me check into this real quickly, 327 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: how long that's planned out? Because they'll usually announce their 328 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: locations several years in advance. 329 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: Sure, so you're wondering when is it. 330 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: Exactly So, right now, it's in Pittsburgh this year, and 331 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 2: it is scheduled to be in Washington, DC in twenty 332 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: twenty seven, so maybe Indianapolis could get the NFL Draft, 333 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 2: possibly as soon as twenty twenty eight. 334 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: So they say that they want to showcase locations like 335 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: Military Park and White River State Park and also Lucas 336 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: Oil Stadium to the different NFL executives, and that's what 337 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: they'll be showing off in Indianapolis to try to get 338 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. Here. Also say that some of these meetings, 339 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl of meetings, could generate eight hundred million 340 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 1: dollars in future economic impact for Indianapolis just the talking 341 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: about getting the NFL draft. 342 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 2: The NFL Draft is a big deal. And the history 343 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: on that is that for decades, the NFL Draft was 344 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 2: just held in New York. Used to be done in 345 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 2: just like a hotel conference room. It wasn't that big 346 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 2: a deal. It wasn't on TV anybody barely anybody covered it. 347 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 2: And then they started having it at Radio City Music 348 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 2: Hall and they would put it on ESPN and you'd 349 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 2: get some more coverage. But what's fascinating about this is 350 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 2: it was really an accident that they took the draft 351 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 2: on the road. So again it was at Radio City 352 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: Music Hall. And then one year the NFL was ready 353 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 2: to book Radio City Music Hall for their draft, and 354 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 2: somebody else had already booked it, which it sounds ridiculous 355 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 2: and kind of silly, so they couldn't have it at 356 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: Radio City Music Hall. So they're like, oh, let's let's 357 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 2: take it to another NFL city. And they took it 358 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: to Chicago and it was this huge success. And then 359 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: they took it to Kansas City, and then they took 360 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 2: it to Las Vegas, and they took it in Detroit, 361 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 2: and they've gone to all these places and NFL fans 362 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 2: turn out like it's this massive playoff game. NFL flans 363 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 2: will fly in from all around the country. There's usually 364 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 2: a ton of events and a lot of fun going 365 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 2: around the whole weekend long as part of the draft. 366 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I remember those images from Detroit. There were 367 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: estimates of two hundred thousand people on the streets of 368 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 2: Detroit looking at a JumboTron because they were so far 369 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 2: away they couldn't see the stage where the draft was 370 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 2: actually taking place. This is a big deal and if 371 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 2: Indianapolis can get the NFL Draft, it is going to 372 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 2: be a huge economic boon to the city. 373 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: Now you have mentioned that the NFL Draft is something 374 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: that's been on your bucket list, and you're saying it's 375 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 1: going to be in Pittsburgh. This is when we should go, 376 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: because you're saying Friday night in Pittsburgh, when Fernando Mendoza 377 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: could be going. 378 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 2: This is our chance. So it's at the end of April. 379 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 2: The draft happens where the first round is on Friday night, 380 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: and then they do the later rounds on Saturday and Sunday. 381 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh short six hours away. It's just a short car ride, 382 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 2: right and think about that. We drive over there Friday afternoon. Okay, 383 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 2: we get to Pittsburgh early in the evening. Okay, we 384 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 2: go to the It's usually held outside in some grand 385 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: space with a big stage. We go check out the draft. 386 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 2: We watch Fernando Mendoza get drafted number one overall by 387 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: the Raiders, watch the rest of the first round, and 388 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 2: that's it. I don't have to be there for all 389 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: the other rounds. The Saturday and Sunday roundes first I did. 390 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: The first round is the most exciting one. You get 391 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 2: to go to this huge event. It's a big show. 392 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 2: Everything is fun. I think that we need to make 393 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 2: those plans this year and go to the NFL Draft. 394 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: Things happened to us though, when we go to Pittsburgh. 395 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: Last time we were in the Pittsburgh area was for 396 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: a Donald Trump rally. 397 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 2: Butler two point zero that we went to and we. 398 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: Ended up, you know, ten feet away from him. So 399 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: you you have cross. 400 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 2: You have this uncanny ability to get invited to things 401 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 2: that we have no business being. It is fascinating. So 402 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 2: we go to the Butler two point oh rally just 403 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 2: outside of Pittsburgh. Somehow we get whisked away kind of 404 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 2: behind the scenes and end up ten feet from Donald 405 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: Trump and Elon Musk and RFK Junior. We go to 406 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 2: our very first Indy five hundred, the very first Indy 407 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 2: five hundred we ever went to. You met some cowboys 408 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: from California who had pit passes and during the race 409 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: we end up in the pits at the Indy five hundred. 410 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, so maybe we do it again. We go to 411 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: the NFL Like at Pittsburgh and you're shaken Fernando Mendoza's hand. 412 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 2: Let's do it. I dare you to see what kind 413 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 2: of access we can get at the NFL draft. How's 414 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: that sound. 415 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: It is the Kennela Casey Show. It's ninety three WIBC. 416 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: You know. In Star Wars it was the TK forty one. 417 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And then. 418 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: In Back to the Future you have a flex capacitor. 419 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, those are great, great tools of movie history. 420 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: Sure in real life, you have the discombobulator. 421 00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,959 Speaker 2: That sounds like something from a cartoon. 422 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's real. According to Donald Trump, it is. 423 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: He was talking to the New York Post and he 424 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: said that US forces used a secret weapon called the discombobulator. 425 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: That's what they used during the January third operation that 426 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: resulted in the capture of Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela. It 427 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: does seem discombobulated. 428 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: It does seem like they didn't put a lot of 429 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: thought into that. Because the military equipment through history great names. 430 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 2: You've got the the M one A one, Abram's main 431 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 2: battle tank. That's serious. You've got the AH sixty four 432 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 2: Apache attack helicopter. Those are serious. Those put fear into 433 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 2: people's hearts, the C seventeen gunship, and then you've got 434 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 2: the secret weapon called a discombobulator. 435 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: Right. Donald Trump described it as mysterious and claimed he 436 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: really wasn't allowed to talk about it, which does suggest 437 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: perhaps it's classified. 438 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 2: Maybe he shouldn't be talking about it. There were a 439 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 2: lot of reports about this after the capture of Nicholas Maduro, 440 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 2: and this. 441 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: Was this pulse energy weapon that you referred to. 442 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, that people have talked about that. They talked about 443 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 2: it some type of energy weapon or sonic weapon or 444 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 2: microwave weapon. And from the stories that we got from 445 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 2: people that were actually inside the compound, the security forces 446 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 2: that survive, they talked about this weapon immediately disabling people, 447 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 2: causing them to fall to the ground and some of 448 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 2: them to end up vomiting and bleeding out of their nose. 449 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 2: So this was not the first time we've heard this. 450 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: Interesting that Donald Trump actually publicly confirmed something along these lines. 451 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 2: But I mean, it seems like something right out of 452 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 2: science fiction. Ann energy weapon that can completely incapacitate enemy troops. 453 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: Right, So this defense system apparently shuts down radar suddenly 454 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: as well, so they don't even know you're coming. 455 00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 2: Uh sixty Blackhawk, the F twenty two Reptor, and the Discombobulator. 456 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 2: I still think they could have worked on the name 457 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 2: a little bit more. It doesn't sound that scary, it 458 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 2: doesn't sound that official, it doesn't sound that technical. It 459 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 2: sounds like something out of a Saturday Morning cartoon. 460 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: So of course, there was a senior US official who said, 461 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, maybe Trump is just exaggerating a little or 462 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: or there's this possibility he said, too much. 463 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: Right, what do you think? Well, Trump's known to do 464 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: both exaggerate and say things that he shouldn't be saying. 465 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: Backtrack a little bit. Yes, we all know what the 466 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: discombobulator is, and I'm more on the government. You're not 467 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: supposed to know about it. 468 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 2: On one hand, you don't want to give away our 469 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 2: fighting forces secrets and talk about their secret weapons. On 470 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: the other hand, you kind of want to put the 471 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 2: rest of the world on notice when we got something 472 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 2: cool like this that could mess them up in a 473 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 2: big way. 474 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: We have the discombobulate. 475 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 2: That's right. You may not that, you may have whatever 476 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 2: you've got in your foreign country, but fear our discombined, 477 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 2: that's a real thing. I mean, that's one of the 478 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 2: benefits of what happened in Venezuela is we've put the 479 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 2: rest of the world on notice. We can do some 480 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 2: crazy stuff that you guys can't. Yeah, and so that 481 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 2: should be your deterrent. Oh and by the way, yeah, 482 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: we got a discombobulator. Step off, all right. 483 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: Be scared of the discombobulator, because it will mess you up. 484 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: He's also pushing forward with a three hundred to four 485 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: hundred million dollar ballroom renovation at the White House. 486 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, wait wait, I thought it was three 487 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 2: hundred million. Well you know, now it might now it 488 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 2: might be four hundred million, right, three million, four hundred million, 489 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 2: whatever it takes. 490 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: Right, And there has been now a lawsuit filed from 491 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Donald Trump obviously 492 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: has called it ridiculous and accused that group of caring 493 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: little about the country. 494 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 2: Another lawsuit, another lawsuit. Do you know who the happiest 495 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 2: group of people are during this Trump administration? Lawyers DC 496 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 2: lawyers have got to be making bank. They're trying to 497 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 2: hire as many lawyers as they possibly can, more than 498 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 2: likely because they got business coming out of their ears 499 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 2: at this point. Because everybody and anyone that can file 500 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 2: a lawsuit. Seems like they are doing it so. 501 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, He claims the ballroom's going to include bulletproof windows, 502 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: anti drone roofing, and also advanced security features, and he 503 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: notes that the military and the Secret Service are involved. 504 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: Do you think that's where they hide the discombobulator. 505 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 2: They keep it? They're building a special store room underneath 506 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 2: this ballroom that'll do nothing but handle and store discombobulators. 507 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 2: Probably how big. 508 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: Is the ballroom? Fifteen? 509 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 2: Are you looking for me to guess? 510 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think that's what's been reported. 511 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 2: Right, It's got to be twenty or thirty thousand square 512 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 2: feet at least. 513 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: Three hundred to four hundred million dollars. I mean, I 514 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: get it that some special security measures are going to 515 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: be more expensive than just your average build. Sure, but 516 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 1: three hundred to four hundred million that seems excessive. That 517 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: seems like that's a lot. 518 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 2: Ninety thousand square Oh well, so it is essentially a 519 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 2: little bit smaller than like a big box store, like 520 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 2: a super Target or a Walmart or Meyer, because those 521 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 2: those are usually about one hundred and ten or one 522 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty thousand square feet is ninety so think 523 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 2: think of a Walmart and just shave off a little 524 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 2: bit off the back. That's how big this new White 525 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 2: House ballroom is going to be. 526 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: So a lot of people are saying that this ballroom 527 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: could overpower the historic architecture of the White House. But 528 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is saying, well, it's too late. 529 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 2: I dare can't We can't reverse course. Now, I dare 530 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 2: you to try and stop me. Yeah, they've already torn 531 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 2: down the entire East Wing. I mean we've seen the 532 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: footage of those you know, big back hose and construction 533 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 2: equipment that's torn it down. So what is the endgame 534 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 2: of this lawsuit? Stop it and we've just got this 535 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 2: empty pit next to the White House? Or do you 536 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 2: want them to build the old East wing back again? 537 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: Right? I mean this seems start in motion. 538 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: This seems like, again, anything Donald Trump thries to do, 539 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 2: let's throw up a lawsuit and try and stop it. 540 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: So let's talk about this article that was published by 541 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: Oh Boy Axios. They said that Senator Ted Cruz from Texas, 542 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: who is potentially considering a twenty eight presidential run again, 543 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: has been very critical of not only Donald Trump, but 544 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: also JD. Vance and their tariff policy and allegedly there 545 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: are some recordings totaling about ten minutes of Cruz not 546 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: being very nice about either one of them. 547 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 2: And you know, Ted Cruz for somebody who is a 548 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 2: political opponent of Donald Trump's, certainly in twenty sixteen, he's 549 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 2: been fairly quiet on anything related to Donald Trump for 550 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 2: the most part, especially for a guy like Ted Cruz 551 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: who loves to throw himself into in front of any 552 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 2: microphone that he can find or any television camera that 553 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 2: he can find. He has been very quiet for the 554 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 2: most part. So it's interesting to see that somebody made 555 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 2: some private recordings of him not talking nicely about Donald 556 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 2: Trump and JD. Vance. 557 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: So is this him just trying to differentiate himself from 558 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: the Trump administration and the MAGA movement altogether? He's still Republican. 559 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: He just wants to be known as a different Republican 560 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: for somebody. 561 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 2: If he does want to run for president in twenty 562 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 2: twenty eight, we've already got two very strong contenders that 563 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 2: are part of this administration, JD. Vance and Marco Rubio. 564 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 2: And so for any other Republican. 565 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: That wants got to make some noise somehow. 566 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 2: Exactly, any other Republican that wants a shot at that 567 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 2: nomination in twenty twenty eight, is going to have to 568 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: do big, bold, loud things to get that attention, because 569 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 2: if it's not jd Vance, you gotta believe it's going 570 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 2: to be Marco Rubio. 571 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: So another longtime supporter of Donald Trump, they used to 572 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: be friends, lifelong friends for many years. Rob Stewart asked, 573 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the singer Rod Stuart, and he had 574 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: some critical to say about Donald Trump. He posted a 575 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: message on his Instagram account. 576 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 3: I may just be a humble rock star. I'm also 577 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 3: a knight of the realm and I have I was 578 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 3: born just after the war, and I'm great respect for 579 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 3: our armed forces that fought and gave us our freedom. 580 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 3: So it hurts me badly, deeply, and I read that 581 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 3: the draft dodger Trump has criticized our troops in Afghanistan 582 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 3: for not being on the frontline. We lost over four 583 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 3: hundred of our guys. Think of their parents, think about it, 584 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 3: and Trump caused them almost like cowards. It's unbearable. So 585 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 3: I'm calling on you, Prime Minister, Starmer and Farage, please 586 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 3: make the draft dodger Trump apologize. 587 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: Please, Okay, Brad stear So that came out. 588 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 2: Trump said those things about the British troops in Afghanistan 589 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 2: while he was in Davos with the rest of the 590 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: world leaders last week. And the first thing I thought 591 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 2: when I heard those comments from Donald Trump was, I 592 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 2: wonder what Rod Stewart's take on this is. 593 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: Let's get Ron Stewart. 594 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 2: You know, it does seem like, although certainly celebrities just 595 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 2: can't keep their mouths shut about things they don't know 596 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 2: anything about, but it does seem like the public's reaction 597 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 2: to celebrities doing things like this is seems to continue 598 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 2: down this path of we don't care. 599 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: What famous fire satistically. 600 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that they're so used to it. 601 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: By the way, I love how he introduces himself as 602 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 2: a humble rockstar who is also a knight of the realm, 603 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 2: you know, just because you say you're humble and then 604 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 2: you back it up by saying, oh, by the way, 605 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 2: I was knighted by the Queen of England kind of 606 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 2: hurts the message. And then here's my opinion about what 607 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 2: Donald Trump said on the world stage regarding British fighters 608 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 2: in Afghanistan just comes across as silly. It comes across 609 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 2: as inconsequential to any part of this conversation. At some 610 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 2: point in time, I would have to believe that celebrities 611 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 2: will real that nobody really cares about what they think. Shoot, 612 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 2: we just had an entire presidential election where Kamala spent 613 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 2: all of her money buying off the political endorsement or 614 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 2: the political endorsement from celebrities like Beyonce and Oprah and 615 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 2: anybody else she could throw money in front of, and 616 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 2: it did absolutely no good. 617 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: For her, did not work. Stewart once attended Trump's parties. 618 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: He's also performed at some of his casinos. And now 619 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: he's saying that Starmer must demand an apology. And if 620 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: you're Starmer, you gotta be thinking. Well, I was thinking 621 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: about it. I wasn't sure, But now the Rod Stewart's 622 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: saying I need to demand an apology, I'm going to 623 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: get right on that. And you know what Donald Trump 624 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: is going to say to that, what you're number one? 625 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 2: You're number one right here? Hey, I wonder that guy 626 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 2: who wrote that song? Do you think I'm sexy? What's 627 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 2: he think about this world political situation? Get him on 628 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 2: the phone right now. I was going to roll over 629 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 2: for Trump, but Rod Stewart came out and said, I 630 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 2: need to give him the b I guess that's what 631 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 2: I gotta do. 632 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: Now, gotta do it.

Right? 636 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 2: Rule's closest without going over? 637 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: Eighty two? Oh, Kevin, do you have a guess on this? 638 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: How old is Rod Stuart? I'm gonna say eighty. Oh, 639 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: Kevin wins he's eighty one. 640 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 2: I was over by one year. We were both real 641 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 2: close right around it. Yep, And look Rod Stewart, Look 642 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 2: Maggie May great song. Uh huh what he did with 643 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 2: Faces the band Faces when he was the lead singer, 644 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 2: some of the greatest rock and roll music ever made. Yeah, 645 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 2: the man's eighty one. And I don't need to hear 646 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 2: what he thinks about Donald Trump and Kure Starmer. 647 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: At this point it is the Kendall A Casey show. 648 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: It's ninety three WIBC. So they used to be a 649 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: symbol of masculinity and gravitas in the nineteenth century, but 650 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: by the twentieth century, the clean shaven look had taken over, 651 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: especially in the political world. It kind of became the 652 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: political norm. But now we're trending back to the beard, 653 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: and Saturday Night Live this past weekend took note of 654 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: it in their cold open. One of the things they 655 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: did was talk about JD. Vance having a beard. They 656 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: also called him gay. 657 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 2: You know, if that I win in twenty twenty eight, 658 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 2: I would be the first president in one hundred years 659 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 2: to have a beard. Wow. 660 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 3: And speaking of your beard, how's your wife Usha? 661 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 2: Very good, sir, I'm insinuating your gay. 662 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: Okay, So only five presidents have worn full beards, and 663 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: it's been over a century since the last one. So 664 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: I thought it might be fun to review the five 665 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: bearded presidents. 666 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 2: Great beards in presidential history. I'm here for it. Let's go.
