1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: You know, if you're going to say mean things about people, Yeah,

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: and then that person's proven right, you should give them

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: an apology.

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 2: Don't hold your breath, That's all I'm saying.

5
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it seems like.

6
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 3: The apologize, admit the mistake, take corrective action.

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: Well, it seems like if you had integrity, that would

8
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: be the thing to do. And yet here i am

9
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: sitting here at ten oh six and I've yet to

10
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: receive an apology from the Lieutenant governor for the uh, well,

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: very unkind way in which he handled our and his

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: orbit handled our statement that has now been proven completely

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: correct that there is in a grand jury that is

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: investigating his office. I feel vindicated, but thus far, the

15
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, the if you had integrity, if you were

16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: about honesty and decency and well, you know, setting an

17
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: example for people, which he's supposed to do as a pastor,

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: you'd think he would come out and say, you know what,

19
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Rob and Casey were right, I'm very sorry that I

20
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: handled that the way I did and will cooperate fully

21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: with the grand jury investentation which is now clearly taking place.

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: As we've told you for months, it.

23
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: Was Yeah, so a Marion County grand jury investigating allegations

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: of ghost employment and the distribution of intimate images within

25
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: his office. I want to talk about the ghost employment

26
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: if we can for just a moment.

27
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: And by the way, I you seen everybody knows. But

28
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: at this point, Lieutenant governor is Micah Beckwith. That's the

29
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: name of the Lieutenant.

30
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 2: Governor, correct from the braun Beckwith administration.

31
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: That's right. He loves to hear his name, and so

32
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: we want to make sure that everyone knows Micah beck

33
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: within his office are apparently under investigation according to the

34
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: Indie Star and numerous other outlets by Marion County Prosecutor's

35
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: office end grand jury. So since he loves to hear

36
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: his name, we want to make sure everybody knows that's

37
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: who's under the investigation.

38
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: So ghost employment refers to a form of payroll fraud

39
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 3: where individuals receive a salary without performing any actual work

40
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: or duties for the organization. A common example a government

41
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: employee uses work hours to perform tasks unrelated to their

42
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: official duties.

43
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: Also, like you might like, let's just say you were

44
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: doing I don't know, opposition research on a politician, right,

45
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: and you were doing that on your state time. And

46
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: then somebody found out you were doing that. And I mean,

47
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this happen. I'm saying theoretically that could

48
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: be the ghost employment if you're doing clearly political activities

49
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: on state time and you know, I'm not saying this happened,

50
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: but like if you were a dumb ass and you

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: put it somewhere where people could see what you were

52
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: doing and when you did it, then that could be

53
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: conceivably could be ghost employment. Correct, right, Okay, very good

54
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: to make sure right knew what was going on here.

55
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: So look, this is way bigger than just whatever they

56
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: may be looking into right now. It's a way bigger

57
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: than whether we were right or not. We were right.

58
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: We knew the whole time we were right, because I

59
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: know people who have talked to the Marion County Prosecutor's

60
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: office and they all can't be lying to me. So

61
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: there was just utterly ridiculous this wasn't going on. What

62
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: it is about, and the thing already needs to recognize

63
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: is a repetitive path of lies and deception and then

64
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: villainizing people who dare criticize or speak, in this case

65
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: the truth about Micah Beck with That's what we get

66
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: from this guy, and have gotten from this guy since

67
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: he took office over and over and over and over again.

68
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: And this hits especially hard for me, Casey, because I

69
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: vouched for Micah to a lot of people who are

70
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: very skeptical of Micah, and they're very skeptical of Micah

71
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: for a variety of reasons. And I never do this

72
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: with politicians, but I had known Micah for the past

73
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: well it'd be what three years before he decided to run,

74
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: he had publicly, privately espoused all of these things that

75
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: he wanted to get in there and make a difference

76
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: and be a person who's going to fight for the people.

77
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: And look, this has gutted me because I considered him

78
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: a personal friend and to see what he has become

79
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: that the audience will always be more important to me

80
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: than any politician or even any friendship, because the people

81
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: depend on us to give them the truth every single day.

82
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: And unfortunately that means when we're wrong about something. Look,

83
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: we get a lot of stuff right, we get a

84
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: lot more right than we get wrong. But in the

85
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: case of Micah, I was wrong and stuck my neck

86
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: out for him, vouched for him to people, told everybody

87
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: he was going to be different. And not only has

88
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: he not been any different than the rest of these people,

89
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: in many cases he's he's been worse. And that's why

90
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: I said, look, always hear from people, Oh, Rob never

91
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: says what he's for. Rob always just talks about what

92
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: he's against. I took a big risk outside my comfort

93
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: zone and publicly came out to support the governor and

94
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: Micah because I wanted property taxes fixed for the people.

95
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: I wanted them to be able to afford to live

96
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: in their homes. And quite frankly, I don't normally do this,

97
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: but I bought their line to bull crap that they

98
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: were going to be better and different. And so I

99
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: own my stake in this by telling people that they

100
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: could trust Micah, by telling people they could support Micah

101
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: and he would be a voice if Braun got sideways

102
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: that would stand up. And reality is, Mike is probably

103
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: the biggest grifter of them all. He's an habitual, pathological liar.

104
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: He's a total fraud and it breaks my heart to

105
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: know that in some shape or capacity, somebody might have

106
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: voted for Mike and Braun based on my recommendation. But

107
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: I have too much respect for you the listener to

108
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: act like this stuff isn't happening. And that's why we've

109
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: been telling you it's happening. We lay it out for you,

110
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: and it's all been proven true here today.

111
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 3: So as of yesterday, the Mary County Prosecutor's office confirmed

112
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: that no charges have been filed and they have declined

113
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 3: for their comment. Somebody else who has not commented is

114
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: the governor.

115
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a real it is.

116
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 2: The braun beckwith administration.

117
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: He's a real gutlass weasel, isn't he. And they've known

118
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: all this stuff is going on too, and as usual

119
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: with braun he just puts his head in the sand

120
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: and hopes it's going to go away. Look, this is

121
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: not even about this issue whatever they're looking into. Look,

122
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: a grant a grand jury does not mean an indictment,

123
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: and an indictment does not mean a conviction. This is

124
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: why this has all been so infuriating to me that

125
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: Micah has kept up this me so stupid routine for

126
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: so long and trying to end him in his orbit,

127
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: trying to villainize people who are stating the obvious. If

128
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: I know it ain't my life I involved in this,

129
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: and if I know people who are giving information. Then

130
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: if it's your life, wouldn't you know, wouldn't you be

131
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: spending every waking moment trying to figure out what's going

132
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 1: on if someone told you, hey, Casey, the prosecutor's looking

133
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: into you.

134
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: Well, when you have Representative Craig Haggard confirming that he

135
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 3: was interviewed by the Marion County Prosecutor's office.

136
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: Sure, it's a pattern of lying. It's an American greed.

137
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: The TV show those guys that are featured on their

138
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: level of I mean, it's habitual in nature. We've caught

139
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: him in how many lies over the past ten months,

140
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: and then it's always from him or his orbit that

141
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: he's somehow the victim. It's somebody out to get him.

142
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: It's I saw today, yesterday, it's all. They're coming after

143
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: him because of his faith. They're coming after him because

144
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: he's vocal about us. The Marion County Prosecutor does not

145
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: give two cares about Micah's espoused belief system. They don't

146
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: have the time nor the effort that it is taking

147
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: to do this to investigate this just based on some

148
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: guy being a vocal Christian. There's a lot of very

149
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: vocal Christians and they ain't looking into them. They're looking

150
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: into them because they apparently believe that they have enough

151
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: evidence to pursue whether or not illegal activity was happening

152
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: in the office of the Lieutenant Governor. It doesn't mean

153
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: they're going to return an indictment. It doesn't mean it

154
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: actually happened. But when you see the Lieutenant Governor and

155
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: his orbit blatant lying and deceiving about something so obvious,

156
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: and how many lies do we catch him just on

157
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: this I come back to when he tried to claim

158
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: he didn't know who Tom Labianco was, the guy who

159
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: broke the original AI porn story. Well, Mike had spent

160
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: an entire day with the guy. Either Micah has some

161
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: serious brain trauma or he's just blatantly lying. I'll go

162
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: with the ladder. He tried to claim that he hadn't

163
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: heard about this story until Lobbyanco contacted him. Lobbyanco told

164
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: us very specifically, No, Micah told me when I contacted

165
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: him he'd heard about it from someone in the Treasurer's office. Again,

166
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: either Mike is suffering some sort of serious brain trauma

167
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: or he's lying. I'll go with the ladder. We caught

168
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: him on how many lies on the car. I come

169
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: back to what I think is the one of the

170
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: biggest issues of all that, for some reason to get

171
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: nearly enough play in the media, which is that Micah

172
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: and Diego, two of the highest ranking officials in the

173
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: entire state of Indiana, showed up at Game three of

174
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: the NBA five Final was accepting a lavish gift from

175
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: a high profile known Felon and Mike. It can't tell

176
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: a coherent story or a consistent story on how that happened.

177
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: Are you sensing a pattern here? It's lie after lie,

178
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: to seed after deceit, conflicting statement after conflicting statement, and

179
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: somehow yet it's never his fault. It's never his fault.

180
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: It's always somebody out to get him. It's always some boogeyman.

181
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: It's never he never steps up and takes responsibility.

182
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: Now, you mentioned something interesting because Grand Jurie has subpoena

183
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 3: abilities and you had mentioned the treasurer Department. So how

184
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: wide is the scope going to go?

185
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: No idea. I mean they're going to look into whatever

186
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: they're going to look into. I'm sure they'll take their

187
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: time on it because it involves the second highest ranking

188
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: official in the state of Indiana and look, as Hoosier's,

189
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: we should all want them to look into this and

190
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: say nothing happen. It would be a disgraceful if they

191
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: find some level of criminal behavior. So we should all,

192
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: as Hoosiers, hope that ultimate they look into it and go, hey,

193
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: no criminal activity took place here. We investigated it thoroughly.

194
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: We can't find any proof of this AI video. Everybody,

195
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: but I look, I think the AI video is like

196
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: number nine on the list of things that they're looking into.

197
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: But my point is we all have a vested interest

198
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: or should be cheering for them to find nothing. But

199
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: whether they find something or not, we have now checked

200
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: off several more lines in the MICA not being honest

201
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: pattern of behavior, and that is unacceptable from someone of

202
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: his position, not only Casey as lieutenant governor, but also

203
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: as someone who leads a church.

204
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: So it's a it's a good time to remind everybody

205
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: that just because there is a grand jury doesn't mean

206
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 3: they will subpoena anything, doesn't mean they will indict on anything,

207
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 3: and that doesn't mean they will charge on anything.

208
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. But what it does, that's why it's so

209
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: stupid that he's lying about all of it. It's why

210
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: it's so stupid that he gives these redicus conflicting statements.

211
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: If you're telling the truth, you don't have to remember

212
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: what you said. If you're telling the truth, you don't

213
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: have to remember what you said. And repeatedly he can't

214
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: tell the same story to people because it ain't the truth.

215
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 3: It is Kendall and Casey on ninety three WIBC.

216
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: You got to go to Hope. Now, this fascinating. Our

217
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: old pal Indie reporter has been up late last night

218
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: doing some sort of research. If you're into Indiana politics

219
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: and government, it's a fascinating account at Indie Underscore Reporter Underscore.

220
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what the guy does for a job.

221
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: He just always seems to be digging into governmental documents.

222
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes he comes up with stuff and I'm like, that's fascinating,

223
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: and then sometimes it's like, I think you might have

224
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: wasted a lot of your time, but he found something here,

225
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: and everybody, it's a very entertaining account that is blowing

226
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: me away up. This is indeed true, so obviously on

227
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: and by the way, you notice how this story has

228
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: gone away. The audit of the ied C.

229
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: See well, yes and no.

230
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: Just yesterday Governor Mike Brown from the braun Beckwith administration,

231
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 3: he appointed Josh Richardson, Commissioner of the Department of Workforce Development,

232
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 3: as president of the i ed C.

233
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: And also with the.

234
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: Big announcement was that they want to rebrand Indiana back

235
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 3: to the crossroads of America.

236
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and by the way, i d c's Indian Economic

237
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: Development Corporation. So Andrew Ireland, he is euphoric about renaming

238
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: the stupid signs. But not a word from Andrew Ireland

239
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: that I've seen about the massive the audit of the

240
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: i d C which revealed massive conflicts of interest and

241
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: abuse of taxpayer money. But he doesn't have a word

242
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: about that. But he is euphoric over those stupid street

243
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: signs or whatever the called highway signs.

244
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 3: Let's consider how much is it going to cost? Now

245
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 3: are they replacing the signs the state signs? They're going

246
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: to make a new Costs of America. I mean, I

247
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 3: could appreciate the fact that Andrew Ireland went all in

248
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: on that, and now it's happening, so.

249
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: Sure, hey, Andrew, maybe you could say something about all

250
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: in on the audit. The hundreds of millions of dollars

251
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: of basically what amounts to corruption taken from us and

252
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: given to uber connected people. Maybe Andrew you could say

253
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: something about that, because well, what has it been almost

254
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: a month now since this audit came out which revealed

255
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: this just horrible behavior from people inside the IEDC and

256
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: what they were doing with taxpayer money. And then Braun

257
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: in a look, I'm convinced Bron's not playing with the

258
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: full deck anymore because he came out and said, well,

259
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: it's going to the Inspector General to review. Okay, fair enough,

260
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: but no criminal wrongdoing. Well you've just tainted the investigation, idiot,

261
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: because that's the Inspector General's job is to determine that

262
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: and refer stuff to law enforcement for further investigation. But

263
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: now you, sir, have already tainted and it raised everyboy's

264
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: eyebrows are going, wait a second, what's going on here?

265
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: Why would the governor, even if he doesn't have all

266
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: his faculties anymore, he must know enough to know that

267
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: if you say no criminal wrongdoing, but then you're giving

268
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: it to somebody to review for that, you're tainting the investigation.

269
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: And so a lot of people have when you couple

270
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: bronze quickly, He's like John Candy in a vacation. Hey, hey,

271
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: parks close, moves outside. Should have told you. Or Leslie

272
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: Niels is a naked gun move along here, nothing to

273
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: see and everybody's like, well, there's a lot to see.

274
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: There's hundreds of millions of dollars in you know, conflicts

275
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: of interest and what appears to be abuse of trust

276
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: and uh. And then then you come that with almost

277
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: none of the Republican members of the General Assembly who

278
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: have allocated this money, by the way, to the IDC,

279
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: have said a word about it. And now it's basically

280
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: just gone away, which is exactly what we said would happen.

281
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: People said, what is going on here? How did this

282
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: story just simply go away? Why aren't people outraged and

283
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: demanding to hold IDC accountable? And then our old pal

284
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: Steven Wimmer over there at Indie Reporter found this, which

285
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: is very interesting. So one of the major issues with

286
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: the IEDC is that they partnered up with this nonprofit

287
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: called Elevate Ventures, and Elevate Ventures, it appears, basically took

288
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: flyers on startup companies using taxpayer money that for some reason,

289
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: I guess couldn't get money from banks, which should be

290
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: a giant red flag.

291
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: They needed taxpayer money that.

292
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: People who are in the business of making money didn't

293
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: believe in these people, but they get in bed with

294
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: this with this Elevate Ventures. Who who hands out this

295
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: money to all these startups? Now multiple reports have come

296
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: out that Elevate Ventures, I guess has not paid all

297
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: the money back that they owed as a part of

298
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: these loans. They have more loans that are due that's

299
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: been covered at length, and so it appears to be

300
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: a colossal, horrible decision for us, the taxpayers. Yet Elevate

301
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: Ventures has.

302
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: Way click we made that decision.

303
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like it's a horrible no, the raid of return.

304
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean like if you were a bank, somebody be

305
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: getting fired over this. But nothing appears to be happening

306
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: with the IDCR Elevate Ventures. And then Steven, an indie reporter,

307
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: comes up with this in his research. Now he's claiming

308
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: a guy by the name of Larry GARATONI. I think

309
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: it's how you pronounced his last name g A r

310
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: A t o I n I g r a t

311
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: o I And I, yeah, I was trying to make

312
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: that owe and that in getting it together anyway. G

313
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: r Atni is a board member with Elevate Ventures. Correct,

314
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: This is according to the Indie Reporter account. He is

315
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: a major GOP donor. According to Indy Reporter, he donated

316
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars to Governor Braun last year. Between

317
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and twenty twenty four, he donated four

318
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars to Republicans.

319
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: Correct Now, not saying that there's anything wrong there, but

320
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 3: the optics are interesting.

321
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: Well, yes, you're on this board that has apparently failed

322
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: the taxpayers miserably. There's an audit about the IEDC. Nothing

323
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: appears to be happening. Your company or this nonprofit is

324
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: basically given a free pass in all of this. And oh,

325
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: by the way, according to Indy Reporter, this guy has

326
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: given a hundred who's on this board has given hundreds

327
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars to Republicans over the over the

328
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: three or four.

329
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 2: Years, correct, half a million.

330
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: Even so, Yeah, it just raises more red flags that

331
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure will be totally ignored by the governor. And

332
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, Heaven forbid. Somebody in the media asked the

333
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: governor about if he did indeed accept this donation from

334
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: this guy, and if that had anything to do with

335
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: the elevate basically getting a free pass in this despite

336
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: by all appearances to reasonable people not following through on

337
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: what they pledge to the taxpayers.

338
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 3: Do you find it interesting that the first big announcement

339
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: about you know, we've named a president.

340
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: Oh and by the way, we're changing the road signs.

341
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

342
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: Does that seem like deflection to you?

343
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: Well, that's what they do on everything.

344
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: Pay attention to this. This is fun.

345
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: Why are they doing the redistricting? They want people to

346
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: get ginned up over that so you won't pay attention

347
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: to their colossal abuse of the finances of the state

348
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: of Indiana. But I do want to give credit to

349
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 1: the Indie reporter account because this is the stuff he

350
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: does all day every day. He just lives in this world,

351
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: and stuff like this, if indeed it's true, is very

352
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: valuable information to the public to have, because these are

353
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: the people that are tightly wound into our into our

354
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: state government in what is a very controversial now organization.

355
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: So good job for him finding all that.

356
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 3: You're listening to Kendel in Casey, it is ninety three WIBC.

357
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: The government is still shut down?

358
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

359
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 3: They have their thirteenth vote, still can't agree.

360
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: This is like, this is a couple more days. It

361
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: will be the longest effort.

362
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: Yea. Our government is a joke right now. They're voting

363
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: like to pay people who aren't working. They're fighting over

364
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: whether we should pay people who aren't working. It's like,

365
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: if you're going to pay him, why whenn' you just

366
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: have him come back to work. Oh, these people, let's

367
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: the it's the Essential Workers Act, it's the All Workers Act.

368
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: Like we are run by clowns.

369
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: So members of Congress requesting their salaries be withheld during

370
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 3: the shutdown, and one guy has gone so far that

371
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 3: he's working to suspend the paychecks for members of Congress

372
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 3: during the shutdown.

373
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 4: If you didn't do your job in business, you didn't

374
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 4: get paid. You don't show up and do your job,

375
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 4: you don't get paid. Why are we getting paid? We

376
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 4: shouldn't get paid if we don't do our job. We

377
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 4: figured we need to figure out how to work together

378
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 4: to get our budgets done. It's as simple as that.

379
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 4: So you're going to offer legislation to not get paid

380
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 4: during lockdown? During shutdowns. Absolutely, I already have a bill.

381
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 4: We've got a bill that we don't get paid during

382
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 4: the shutdown. Ron Johnson's got a bill that will never

383
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 4: have shutdowns that should pass also. But on top of that,

384
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 4: what are the Democrats doing? This is a clean resolution.

385
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 4: All we're doing is is keeping the funding. Actually the

386
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 4: funding is too high. It's still a Biden funding. But

387
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 4: I don't want to shut down government, so I support it.

388
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 4: But the Democrats said they they want to shutdown for

389
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 4: whatever reason. How is this good for the country. Nobody

390
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 4: wins with a shutdown.

391
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: Well, Senator Rick Scott, Okay, that was Rick Scott. So finally,

392
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: that is the first person I don't know if he

393
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: was a Freudian slip or you know, slip at the

394
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: tongue moment of lapse of judgment, he is the first

395
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: person who, finally that I have heard, finally admit out

396
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: loud that all they're doing is continuing to fund Joe

397
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: Biden's government, which if they wanted to win the shutdown

398
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: and win the American people, that should be their talking

399
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: point is that we are continuing to fund the very

400
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: government that these people all voted for. The Democrat president

401
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: of the United States. Now they won't do that because

402
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: the Republicans theme of the day, Republicans being habitual liars

403
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: and deceivers, don't want to admit that's what they're doing

404
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: because they lied to you again last election and promise

405
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: to get the spending under control. But the biggest, the

406
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: biggest thing they have in their defense they won't use,

407
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: which is all they're doing is funding Joe Biden's government.

408
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 3: So now you've got the USDA saying they don't have

409
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 3: the nine point two billion dollars that they would need

410
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 3: to keep snap benefits from running out, and that's going

411
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: to happen unless the Democrats a vote to end to

412
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: shut down, and food stamp recipients aren't going to receive

413
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: their benefits in the beginning Saturday.

414
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: And the IRS is the RS closed? Can they not

415
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: accept our taxes during the shutdown?

416
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm not sure about that.

417
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: What do you would have bet the IRS is still

418
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: open and fully functioning, that that they are still auditing

419
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: people and still you know, doing investigations into people. What

420
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: do you want to bet the I R S didn't

421
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: make the list of things that shut down? And you

422
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: don't you can't do provide service anymore.

423
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 3: Yes, the IRS is partially open during the government's shutdown.

424
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: Of course it is.

425
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: They say, many services are limited, but yeah, you can

426
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: still give the government your money.

427
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, boy, they noticed they didn't shut that one down, now,

428
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: did they.

429
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 3: About half of IRS employees are furloughed right now.

430
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I bet the ones that are doing it

431
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: still file electronically rock yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

432
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm right, you can always do that utterly. The whole

433
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: thing is ridiculous. Both sides are completely disgraceful and just

434
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: everyone should be ashamed of everyone.

435
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: Now.

436
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 3: Something that is happening is people are selling their food stamps.

437
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 5: Hi, I'm gonna keep it a buck with job.

438
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: Like.

439
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 6: The real reason why a lot of people are upset

440
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 6: about this whole food stamps snap benefit thing, bro, is

441
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 6: because they're selling their food stamps.

442
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 3: Bro.

443
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 5: They're selling them. Tell you they are selling their food stamps.

444
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: Bro.

445
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 5: You know how many people in New York and other states.

446
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 6: Right now are going to the corner store to Delhi

447
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 6: and they're selling their food stamps.

448
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 5: Bro, They're selling. That's why they getting like four thousand, three.

449
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 6: Thousand dollars in food stamps and they're selling it for cash.

450
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 5: They'll get four.

451
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 6: Thousand dollars in food stamps and they'll just take like

452
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 6: one thousand dollars in cash, like bro Like that's happening

453
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 6: like everywhere.

454
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: That's why they're mad.

455
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 5: That is exactly why they're mad right now.

456
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 6: And you know the thing about it too, They will

457
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 6: never admit to selling their food stamps.

458
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: What a thousand dollars in food stamps would?

459
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, when anything surprise you, I mean, our government

460
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: is just filled with waste and fraud and abuse. And

461
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: I love the fact that almost we did the math yesterday,

462
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: almost thirteen percent of the American population is on some

463
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: form of government assistance, and we just act like that's normal,

464
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: and that's not normal. And I guarantee a huge portion

465
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: of that group, not everyone. Certainly, there are many people

466
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: in a country of three hundred and thirty five million

467
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: that do need help, and we should help those people.

468
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: But the people that are abusing this system, that are

469
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: getting healthcare, who can work, that are getting food stamps

470
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: who can work, great, We'll find out. We'll find out

471
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: how many people either want to starve or get off

472
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: their ass and go to work, and a big portion

473
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: of them should be getting off their ass and going

474
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: to work.

475
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 3: So there's millions of a hotel workers who are facing

476
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 3: some uncertainty. The American Hotel and Lodging Association estimates that

477
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: the shutdown costs the economy thirty one million dollars per

478
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: day in law hotel related activity. Isn't it it's tentacles

479
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 3: are reaching.

480
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, But isn't it disturbing how much of our economy

481
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: is government related? That kind of sounds very socially socialism to.

482
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 2: Me, that you when they don't produce anything.

483
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: Right, The government is such a huge portion of our

484
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: economy and yet we're supposed to be a capitalistic society.

485
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: But oh man, it's really going to destroy the American

486
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: economy if we shut the government at like, logically, does

487
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: that make any sense?

488
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: No.

489
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 3: Now you've got some trade group organizations like the retail

490
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 3: Associations that are calling for the lawmakers to pass the

491
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 3: clean funding bill.

492
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: They say that they.

493
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 3: Represent big organizations like Target and Best Buy, Home Depot,

494
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 3: Dollar General, Walgreens. So now you have businesses that are

495
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 3: weighing in on this as well.

496
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: Well. Once the donation stop rolling in, that's what we'll

497
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: get these lawmakers attention because that's what they live for.

498
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: That's all all. Almost all these people live to get reelected.

499
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: And so once the the checks start showing stop showing

500
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: up to them, that's when you'll get their attention. In

501
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: the meantime, it's all just dinner theater. They don't care

502
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: they're getting paid. There's still that the congressman or the senator.

503
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: They're they're fine. Once they stop being fine, then they'll

504
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: get to work and get this figured out.

505
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 3: So the National Air Traffic Controllers Association president, he was

506
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 3: demanding yesterday that they end the shutdown.

507
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: Day and day out.

508
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 7: That's now the life of an air traffic controller. The

509
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 7: people tasked with making the impossible possible are having it

510
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 7: made impossible by not paying them again. So the message

511
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 7: is simple. In the shutdown today, there is no excuse

512
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 7: that these hard working men and women are showing up

513
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 7: to do this job and to not ever know when

514
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 7: they're going to get paid again. So we need America's help.

515
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 7: We need you to stand up and we need you

516
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 7: to say enough is enough in this shutdown, sure that

517
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 7: we can move this forward, because we do not want

518
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,479
Speaker 7: to be up here telling you the sad stories. We

519
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 7: want to be up here telling you how we're moving

520
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 7: the system forward, how we're bringing in more air traffic

521
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 7: controllers than ever, how we're modernizing this system to you know,

522
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 7: serve the American people. So again, you cannot stress enough.

523
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 7: If you want to take action, contact your congressional representative

524
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 7: and tell them in the shutdown today?

525
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 3: Can you imagine you go to a job and you

526
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 3: know you garner the motivation to go in knowing you're

527
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 3: not getting paid.

528
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: I asked my dad about this because he spent twenty

529
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: years working for the federal government. I was like, yeah,

530
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: would you have if they didn't pay you? I mean

531
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: we say didn't pay you that you get paid in arrears, right,

532
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: it's not like the people don't get paid. But like,

533
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: if they didn't pay you, would you have showed up

534
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: to work and he goes? Would have been my problem?

535
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: Judicial branch is deemed essential hahah, suckers.

536
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: Right, And who's deeming what is essential and what isn't?

537
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well and that's you know he you work for

538
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: the judges. So but I did think that that is

539
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: an interesting Now I've always thought part of what you

540
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: sign up with your contract is you do have to

541
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: do that, Like you know that going in that this

542
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: could happen. And part of the delio with this is

543
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: if the government you don't get to not show up.

544
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 2: You still have to come in.

545
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people get sick. Conveniently, a lot

546
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: of peop aren't feeling well you know at the time.

547
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 3: A little tickle in my throat to yeah, yeah, yeah, right,

548
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 3: or would you be motivated to do you know one

549
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: hundred percent?

550
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look, it's the government. You're going to

551
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: get your money. I would hope you would have some

552
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: level of knowing when you sign up for something what

553
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: you're signing up for. And as a result, if I

554
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: agreed to show up to work in a shutdown, I'll

555
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: get the money. Eventually, I will come do my job.

556
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean I would like to. That's how I would

557
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: handle it. But I get that most there's a lot

558
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: of people who out.

559

Speaker 3: And then I snuck it. I stuffed it in my

00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,920

643
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: surprised you can't pocket all the gift cards. Well there's

644
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: nothing in here, but you know, it was a great letter.

645
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 3: I'm an honest person, and that was very nice stuff

646
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,479
Speaker 3: that she said about all of them.

647
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: Look, that is so nice of her to do. And look,

648
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,479
Speaker 1: this is why Casey and I do what we do

649
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: for the gift cards or most in it, for all

650
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: the free stuff, the incredibly lavish lifestyle that we lead

651
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: here at the radio station. But look, we know you're

652

654
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: we are happy to come fight for you every single

655
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,960

00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,080

Speaker 1: Yeah, and bring us back something nice.

664
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

665
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 3: Okay, So did you see Gavin Newsom was calling out

666
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 3: Joe Rogan. He was on CNN's debut episode of The

667
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 3: Story Is with Alex Michaelson.

668
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: If it's that hard to say, it's going to fail.

669
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's on c The story.

670
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: Is is the name of the show, and Alex Michaelson

671
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: is the name of the host. That's correct. Okay, very good.

672
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 3: So you know, Gavin Newsom has been denied by Joe

673
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 3: Rogan many times. He hasn't been on, and now Gavin

674
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 3: Newsom says that, you know what, he's okay with that,

675
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 3: he's moving on.

676
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: He wanted to.

677
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 8: Look, he hasn't for years and years. He's been attacking me,

678
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 8: and it's one way and he won't have me on.

679
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 8: He's consistently not by the way, I'm moving on. I

680
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 8: have no interest.

681
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: You're done with him. Joe Rogan's the.

682
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 8: Facebook of podcasting. He was sitting across one of the

683
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 8: brightest minds in podcasting right now. The guy was in

684
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 8: the mic and there are a lot of people at

685
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 8: the mic doing extraordinary things in podcasts.

686
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 1: Adience.

687
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 8: You know what, But with all due respect, if he's

688
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 8: if he has a big audience and he but he

689
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 8: doesn't have big enough confidence. I didn't go there to.

690
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: Have me on.

691
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 8: Well you've called him a chicken, but he's been attacking

692
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 8: for me. But here's the thing. These guys, they all

693
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 8: have something common. It's one way they attack. They belittle,

694
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 8: they demean, they take things out of contract ease.

695
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So what is the Facebook of podcasting. Let's

696
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 3: let's think about that. I understand Gavin, he's trying to

697
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 3: insult Joe Rogan. Facebook is still the most used social

698
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 3: media platform and it's located in California. It's a huge business,

699
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 3: which he is the governor of the state of Why

700
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 3: would he do that?

701
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: Well, And these guys like, there's a reason we don't

702
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: have politicians on our show very often. They're boring. I

703
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: think most people turn the channel with a politician's unless

704
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: there's some super hot button issue because they're boring. And

705
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is boring. He is like made in a factory.

706
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: He's plastic man. And I love the fact as though

707
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: they believe they have some entitlement or some right to

708
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: be on people's shows. And if I don't get my way,

709
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: then I'm just gonna come on here in badmouth. You

710
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: in what Rogan is going to be sitting around going geez,

711
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: I sleep on my palette of cash each night. I'm

712
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: very truckle money, very very worried that Gavin Newsom doesn't

713
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: like me, and oh my gosh, I'm just gonna go.

714
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: I'll show him. I mean, I love that he's cutting

715
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: a wrestle promo on a podcaster and clearly so badly

716
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: wants to go on that show, but then says, oh,

717
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't care if people do that with me.

718
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 3: Show Joe Rogan by not being invited on his podcast,

719
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 3: I'll go on CNN's debut episode of the.

720
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 2: Story is absolutely with Elex Mike.

721
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you do that? I mean, nothing's going to

722
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: get you fired up and attention. You could be on

723
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: Rogan or you could be on that show that you

724
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: can't even pronounce the name of. But like, these politicians

725
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: are the worst. They're insufferable and they're boring and they

726
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: kill ratings and that's why for the most part, we

727
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: just don't have them on.

728
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 3: So Governor Brown had something to say, and I know

729
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 3: that you would like to comment on it.

730
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: Oh which thing was it?

731
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 2: It was that tweet that was put out where he

732
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: was sitting in the chair. Oh, he's an idiot lamenting.

733
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: He's an idiot on main street. He is a clueless,

734
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: delusional fool, and he has no idea how his job

735
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: actually works.

736
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 2: We'll get to it coming up.

737
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 3: It is Kendally Casey on ninety three WIBC six
