Speaker 1 (00:00):
We have record high property taxes.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Check.
Speaker 1 (00:03):
We have one of the highest gas taxes in the nation.
Check our roads suck. Check we have skyrocketing utility bills.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Check.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Local governments appear to be ignoring the modest amount of
property tax reform received and are finding other ways to
raise your taxes with check. Yeah, and yet our General
Assembly continues to waste time on leading you to believe
they're going to annex thirty three counties from Illinois to
the state of Indiana.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Check.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Okay, very good, We're don of here. This concludes our
segment of the Kendall in Casey show. Thanks for playing. Okay,
So now look here, here's the problem with this. So
in the in the legislative session, the mens of people
who run our state came out and decided, with the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Todd Houston, giving his
(00:57):
full throated endorsement to this, that they were going to
study how to annex thirty three counties who said we
want out of Illinois into the state of Indiana. Now,
first of all, they never said they wanted to come
to Indiana. They just said we want out.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Of you who went out of Illinois.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Second of all, any leaving of the state of Illinois,
and the laws crystal clear would require not only an
approval of the Illinois General Assembly and the governor, all Democrats,
but also to approve of the United States Congress. So
that's not happening. But yet, Oh and by the way,
(01:39):
these counties are contiguous. They're like a V They're like
a V. But yet we're led to believe that there
is a chance, a fraction of a chance, on God's
green earth, that these counties are going to come into
the state of Indiana. To the point we are not
only do we waste all the time I'm debating it now,
(02:01):
the governor is wasting time putting together a commission to
study it.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, we've got a commission.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
So Governor Brown appointed five Hoosiers to this newly formed
Indiana Illinois Boundary Adjustment Commission. Their job is to explore
adding Illinois counties that voted to secede from Illinois. However,
Illinois has not appointed any on their side because.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
It's not happening. And what we told you during the session,
what we've told you ever since, is you should be
outraged by this because this is a glorified floor show.
These people aren't spending time on the things that actually
affect you, because that would involve work, and it would
also involve them having to stick it in the face
of their donors and lobbyists who fuel their political careers.
So they're not going to do that. What they're going
(02:48):
to do is waste time on stuff like this to
distract you so that you, hopefully won't pay attention to
what a crappy job they're doing in the General Assembly. Now,
don't take my word for it, take the word of
State Representative Bo Baird, And we played this for you
last week. Now, Bo Baird, you'll remember him. His daddy's
the congressman. He's the guy who got the OWI when
(03:11):
he was running for State House. Yes, but conveniently, while
his dad was a sitting member of the Indiana General
Assembly and also the Republican nominee for Congress. Conveniently, for
trust fund Baby, there were multiple clerical errors in the system,
including his name and his address, and nobody knew that
(03:34):
trust Fund Baby got this OWI, and he was able
to run for State House with nobody knowing. And for
what has it been seven years now, trust Fund Kid
didn't have to face it didn't have to own up
to it. And then when we called him out and
we gave him multiple days when we finally found the
put it all together. We gave him multiple days to
fess up and tell the truth, and he refused to,
so we had to break the story. And then remember
(03:56):
the statement he sent to us was as though, even
though he's old, I think he's older than me, so
he would have been in his mid to late thirties
at the time. He presented himself as some struggling college
student who made like he was twenty two years old
who made a bad choice. No, sir, you're an entitled
trust fund kid who believes the rules don't apply to you,
and thus well, and you got away with it.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
He was right had it not been for those medaling kids.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
So anyway, trust fund Baby, who has relied on his
daddy for everything, went on and he's so he is
still a state rep from Putnam County. Trust Fund Baby
went on Wrightbart and admitted he stooged on himself and
admitted this is all a big joke.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
We actually had legislation in this last session that created
a pathway for counties in Illinois to leave and join Indiana. Now,
will that happened? No, Because, yeah, we had legislation that
created a pathway, but it really just created a commission
that we have to approve, The Illinois legislature has to approve,
(05:01):
and then Congress has to approve. But what it allowed
us to do is I think we had three articles
in the Washington or in the Wall Street Journal about
why Indiana is a better state to live in than
Illinois and why so many people from Chicago are leaving
to come to Illinois and trying to leave the policies
of a state like Illinois.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Okay, so he admitted it's not happening, right, Just Kep,
can you just play like the first five seconds, just
to make sure nobody thinks that I made up what
trust Fund baby said.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
We actually had legislation in this last session that created
a pathway for counties in Illinois to leave and join Indiana. Now,
will that happen?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Okay, stop, will that happened?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
He's talking about House en Rolled Act one thousand and eight.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, it's a colossal waste of time. Yeah, they're wasting,
but it's not just they're wasting time, they're wasting your resources.
They're using your resources. This guy stooged on himself. I
don't know if he didn't think we were going to
get it or what the audio, I don't know, but
he freely admits this is a big joke. They're doing
(06:06):
this so that they get articles written about them. That's it.
They're using your resources, your money that you aren't actually
working a job because you don't get to be a
trust fund baby in the son of a congressman and
the son of a state rep Do you get the
convenient multiple clerical errors in the system so nobody knows
if you get an OWI No, This guy admits that, Ah,
(06:27):
this is all big joke. It's all funny.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
They got articles.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Hey, how about we have a big joke about the
utility bills? Trust fund baby. How dout we have a
big joke, a big fun about the property tax bills?
Trust fund baby? How do we have a big joke
and a big fun about the gas tax? Trust fun baby?
Why don't we have some fun with that? It actually
helps some people.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Okay, so they have appointed five people, all Republicans. There
has to be six, and it's got to be a
Democrat to sertify. To sertify satisfy the laws by partisan requirement,
and they're going to name that Democrat later.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
So this is very much like Gosh, you like.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Setting the dinner table for a guest who never agreed
to come over, and then you hope that they bring
snacks and pay rent.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But this guy's admitting what they're doing. They're not even
optimistic that it would actually happen. It's one thing to
do something. Go Okay, that's stupid. No, we believe it.
He admitted it's not happening. Yeah, And it's all fun
and games to these people in the General Assembly. Why
because their paychecks keep showing up, the money that they
get keeps showing up. They can do whatever the hell
(07:38):
they want to do. And they have zero respect for you,
And they have zero respect for the money you were
and they were a zero respect of how they take
it from you and do whatever they want to do
with it. It's all fun and games. You're getting crushed
in every facet of your existence. And these clowns.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Are using your money for pr And by the way, Bo,
if you'd like to have a conversation about any of this,
stop running from us like you did when we revealed
your little OWI debacle and come in here and let's
have a conversation.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Let's have a conversation about the whole thing. Bet that
doesn't happen, Casey.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
So the Indianapolis International Airport, they hit a historic high
in July nine hundred, nine hundred and ninety eight hundred
and eighteen passengers flying out. It was the highest month ever,
breaking the previous record.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
They say people are flying out of Indy for a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Of different reasons, the WNBA All Star Game, the Brickyard,
the Indiana Black Expo, summer celebration, and it was also
peak summer travel season.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
The airport has forty nine NonStop.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Destinations, including the one to Dublin, and it's just been
a double digit growth. Now you asked the question about
the layover before. Oh yeah, and we had somebody who
answered the question.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yes, the sky was a he's a pilot.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Pilot and he told me, okay, I'll just i'll.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Did you find it?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yeah, I got it, I have it if you don't, okay,
do you want to do you want to read it?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, okay, I'll read it. It's Peter is the guy's name.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, okay, he says, hey, Rob, you and I have
some similarities and some differences. I'm also OCD and I
can't stand Republicans who spend all my money on their
version of fiscal responsibility. But the difference is I'm an
airline pilot.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Oh, if you need a.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Guy in this department, I'm your man.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
As far as the airline not waiting on connecting flights,
it comes down to making angry the least amount You
say that, Can I say that word?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You could say that.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It comes down to pissing off the least amount of people.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Every delay delays more people, and downhill it goes until
everyone is hosed, and you get that crazy lazy filming the.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Lead viral TikTok video. The planes run multiple legs to day.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
The biggest priority is to have the plane in the
right place in the morning to get back on track
for the next day and get a fresh start.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So so he what he's saying is because we had
talked about there was a connecting flight, right there was
a guy on your flight, your flight from Hell to
Baltimore who because of a delay on the plane, the
plane's fault right like, everybody was on their right time,
ready to go, and there was some mechanical issue or whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
He was going to miss his connecting flight.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And I said, how is that a thing that if
the airline knows, if the airline knows that somebody is
in you know, trouble of some sort like trouble in
the sense of like their flight is delayed, why don't
they wait? Why don't they wait? And and I said,
(10:52):
I can't believe that you pay for a flight, you
did nothing wrong, You're in the right place, and like
you overslept or didn't get to the airport on time,
and they'll just leave without you. And I said, how
can that be a thing? And appears it is a thing.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, he's saying, well, the goal is to make avery
the least amount of people
