Speaker 1 (00:00):
Serious health concerns for the Indiana Secretary of State.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
What did you call it? Big fat, big fat phonophobia,
phon phobia.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
We think the Indiana Secretary of State, Diego Morales, is
suffering from what artificial intelligence described as big fat phonophobia,
and that is casey a day disease.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
I don't believe you that. Hey, I that's what it was.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Symptoms in Are you ready for what I typed in? Yeah,
where you're a big fat phony.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Oh and that's what it came back with, big fat phonophobia.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Where you say things that are illogical, aren't true, and
then you go in front of one group of people
and say something but won't do it in front of
another group of people. Gotcha, That's what AI told me
was big fat phonophobia.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
It's so weird because when I put in you know,
the symptoms, it came out want to be, which is
so I don't know.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
All right, take your diagnosis.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
We just kind of want to reset all of this
for everyone because this is the story. Look, we are
lucky that Diego Morales is a genuinely sid individual.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
And like I mean, if you.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Have had I am telling you if anybody has ever
had a conversation, like a legitimate conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
If he were smart, we'd be in big trouble.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Luckily, though, he has the instincts of a gnat, and
so he decides he wants to continue this fight and
to keep it.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Going, and we're more than willing. So this all.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Look, there is a litany of stuff with the eego
morale Secretary of State over years.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
But for the purpose of brevity.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Oh, you don't want to get into the spot. Bonuses
was the brother in law?

Speaker 4 (01:29):
No hat, No big contracts with the ninety thousand dollars vehicle.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
No no, no, that's all in the past.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Okay, we're moving on for the most all in the past.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Okay, we start in March.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
I believe it was March of this year where he
disappeared for ten days, the third or fourth highest ranking
official in the state of Indiana disappeared for ten days.
When he asked where he was, his staff and by
the way, this is during the budget hearing, which is
the most important thing he will do as a state
wide office holder, his staff would not identify where he was,

(02:00):
only that he was on an economic development mission. We
then learned, and everybody's like, well, that's weird because Secretary
State has no economic development authority or responsibility. And remember
we read the things that he was in charge of
and blah blah blah. And then finally we determined he
was in or they admitted he was in I can't

(02:21):
remember we found it or they admitted it. First we
found it, I think, because people were posting in India
on the Internet that he was there. Correct, yes, that
he was in India, and we're like, what in the
world is he doing in India? And then we find
out he went with this guy named Rajushinhala who has
this super mysterious eighty thousand dollars contract with his office,

(02:43):
which Diego described as business services. And when I asked
him directly what that meant, he said, he checked on
the businesses.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
That was literally what he told me. He checks on
the businesses.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
And I asked him, does that mean, hey, are you
okay mister business? He checks on the businesses. So he's
in India with Diego. We also know, based on Reju's
own admission from his Facebook account, that he was selling
EB five visa access while in India while on this
what Diego's office described as an official trip as Secretary
of State to India. There was also a venture capitalist

(03:18):
who went with them to India. Okay, all super weird, right, Yes,
we agree. So then we asked, well, why did we
as taxpayers pay for you to go to India for
an economic development mission when you have new economic development
and responsibilities? And he said, good news, not fake news,
but good news. Right, you didn't pay for it.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Taxpayers aren't on the hook for this.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
We said, we didn't. Who paid for it?

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Who did?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Then he said, I'm not going to tell you right.
We said, what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
You're not going to tell us you're in a foreign
country for ten days doing who knows what?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
But we know you're there with the guy who's.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Selling EB five visa access and you're you're not going
to tell us that's correct?

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Why not? Well, because I don't want this guy to
get protested.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
But rest assured he has no business with my office
and he's just a well.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Meaning local merchant. Hmmm.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Seems like bullcrap to me. So we kept that up
for a while and the public got very upset about that.
Because you're on an official action, not on a vacation,
not a personal time. You've admitted, I'm on official action
doing we don't know what we do know. You don't
have an economic development responsibility yep, but you won't tell
us who paid for you to get there, and that's

(04:32):
normal behavior to him.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
Well, when the heat turned up, he decided he was
going to end that.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yes he changed his story. Yes he changed the story. Now,
a trained investigator might tell you if someone starts changing
the story, that's a giant red flag. We'll just throw
that in the barrel of red flags that go with
the Eego morales. So then he tried to claim he
paid for the trip. Great news, I've paid for the trip.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
No, no, no, what you did was reimbursed for the
trip allegedly.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
Yeah, after you didn't want to answer questions about it.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
So we said, okay, can you show us proof like
that a check was deposited, how much the check was for,
and receipts that match up with what you paid back,
and then we'll all go home. Yeah, And he said no, nope.
So we said, well, that's also another red flag. Seems

(05:27):
like you're kind of really hiding something. And then we
kind of said, well, we're done with this. We've taken
it as far as we can go. We don't have
any subpoena investigative powers, and so we have let you,
the public at large, know what a big fat fraudster
this guy is and you can do with that.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
What you want to do. And we thought it was.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Over and done with and then diego Moralesy and he
had a secretary of state. He goes to this what
was it the Motor Vehicle Advisory Board, correct meeting.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
Monthly meeting, which should be like.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
The biggest boring snooze fest. Let's make sure the motor
vehicle dealers are behaving in a upright and you know,
law applicable manner, and let's go about our merry way.
And he launched into a fifteen minute tirade about how
we're fake news, WIBC all WIBC, not the Kennell and
Casey Show, WIBC, wibc's fake, the Indie Star's fake, over

(06:20):
and over and over again, how we're fake news. And
so we were like, hey, all we want to know
is who paid for your little tripp to India and
proof you paid the money back?

Speaker 2 (06:31):
What's fake about that?

Speaker 5 (06:32):
Correct?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
This is where you come in.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yeah, So I sent his office and email and just said, hey,
we'd like to know what his official position is about this,
and he was also complaining during that Motor Vehicle Advisory
Board meeting that nobody was recognizing the accomplishments of the
Morales administration also super weird.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
He said, Hey, you know what, here's the deal.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Come on the show. We'll give you as much time
as you want.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Come in live in person.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
That way you can't say, well, you edited it, you
clipped it.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
No, just come in the studio and we'll give you
the floor and you can tout all of your accomplishments now.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
In fairness, Tony also sent a similar Carl, his producer,
send a similar email because you have impugned all of
WIBC with your harsh words about us being fake news,
and so I guess that includes Hammer and Nigel as well.
And the award winning how many awards is the WIBC
newsroom one over the years.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
Tony awards line the hallway, that's right.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
So we just like to know if we have harmed
you in some way. If you if we in some
way you know, have have harmed you, let us know
what it is. And finally you got a response.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
I did good response and they respect respectfully declined the
interview request.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Wait wait, wait, he's not coming on.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
No, he went to the Motor Vehicle Advisory Board and
yelled about us for like fifteen minutes about how we're
fake news and we don't tell his story.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
And when he's given the opportunity, he was given the invite,
see one of those people that just wants to be
invited so he can say no.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
It almost seems like he really doesn't want to tell
his story. It's almost like he's just saying things when
he's in a room and no one will challenge him.
And then when he has an opportunity to man up,
you know, not be a big chicken, he doesn't want it,
which is why I'm very worried he suffers from big
fat phonophobia.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Now here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Casey, Since he was such a fake tough guy in
the Motor Vehicle Advisory Board meeting and at other events,
we've seen the videos of him at that, like the
campaign events. Now when he's peering over the podium, like
you could laugh at that.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
It's like a mel Brooks skit, right, Like this guy
and I am a short person, I can say this
as a person who's five eight. He is so small
he can literally almost not see over the podium. They
need some sort of booster thing or something, and it's
like he's now screaming about how people don't like him
and they're in the room probably the so now since

(09:06):
he's too chicken to come on this program or to
come on with Tony every time going forward, we talk
about Diego Morales. We have a theme song that we
will play, Kevin Maestro if you please.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Right, Yeah, it's very thematic.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
So that is the new official theme song of the
Diego Morales administration and Diego Morales. And here's the deal, Diego,
you've done this to yourself. And I know we've said
this before, but we have new people listening all the time.
You've done this to yourself, Diego. You chose to leave
the country for ten days during the budget session. You

(10:02):
chose to go to India with the guy who's on
the internet bragging about selling visa access. You chose to
do that, and the public has every right every right
to know who paid for that trip. It's not gotcha journalism,
it's not fake news. We have every right to know,

(10:22):
and it's not going to stop no, because you keep
making it worse, because you can't get out of your
own way, because you're an ego maniac, and every time
you open your damn mouth, it gets worse for you
because the public goes, yeah, we do have the right
to know. We do have the right to know what
you're doing on official state time, in your official state capacity,
and who's paying for you to get there.
