Speaker 1 (00:00):
It feels like Friday, Yeah, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's actually it's you know what, It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's the week of Christmas. There are no rules, there
are no days. It's just total chaos.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Do whatever you do what.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Some people are working. A lot of people aren't working.
Some people are standing on the streets just yelling.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Some people are hitting every pothole on their way into
work like a boss. I was telling that pothole who
is in charge? You morning?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
So many potholes on the way to the radio station.
Now what was interesting is you actually intentionally drove into them.
Now what did it? It was like you were It
was like you were trying to you mad. You accelerated
into the potholes, gripped the wheel with both hands and
hit it like you were mad at it.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Well, what was that going to do? If I swerved
out of the way of the pothole, I would either
hit a car or a pedestrian or a huge light pole.
I had no choice. I had to directly head on,
go for it.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
It's not a game. Yeah, actually it is a game.
You're trying to avoid the.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Pot now, I had no choice.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
And based on the number of middle fingers we saw
from other drivers coming in this morning. I wasn't the
only one who noticed.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, well, they were just telling me that I was
number one, and.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Well, as it relates to the ratings on the Kendall
and Casey Show, they were right, that's all. They were
just recognized they were those Casey Daniels driving into WIBC.
Let's tell I hear that they're number one. Let's make
sure she knows.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
She knows that at least I wasn't picking my nose
and flicking boogers.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, you know why, because you're not a wide receiver
for the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
That is an interesting way to celebrate a touchdown, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I love Look, I'm a big fan of touchdown celebrations,
and the NFL's kind of loosened up a little bit
over the last few years and have loud a little
bit more creativity from touchdown celebrations. But so, there's a
wide receiver for the Detroit Lions. His name is great name.
By the way, I'm on raw Saint Brown sure is
the Detroit Lions receiver and for the last several weeks,
(01:58):
whenever he makes a big play, he pretends to pick
his nose and then flick it at the other team.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
That's what I do, which is.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Kind of like that's like that's if I was the
other team, that's like more painful than if he did
give me the finger, Like that's like more insulting, Like
the booger flick is more insulting to me than getting
the finger.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Now, that's not one of the rules that the NFL
said you can't do.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Despite that, so it's funny you mentioned that the NFL
has a list of rules. These are acceptable celebrations. These
are unacceptable. And even though even though it is not
explicitly forbidden, pretending to pick your nose and flicking it
at the at the other team is not explicitly forbidden
in the NFL rules, the NFL has told him, you do,
you need to stop doing that or we're going to
(02:41):
throw a flag in penalties.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I think one of my favorite celebrations is like when
the Colts they take the football, put it under their
jersey and do the little dance like Blue does run.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Which is another fascinating thing that the Indianapolis Colts have
the only mascot in sports history with a beer gut,
and so that's why they're doing that. They put it
under their shirt to make it. I mean, look, just
the pick in your nose and booger flick. It doesn't
seem like that big of a deal. I mean, there
have been some terrible touchdown celebrations before. There was the
kid in college that got on his hands and knees
(03:11):
and lifted his back leg like he was a dog, right,
you know, Pianana fire hydrant. There was there was one
in the NFL where the player scored a touchdown and
he was either he was trying to like pantomime to
make it look like he was either giving birth to.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
The football or evacuating.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Or yes, having a major transaction with the football.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Speaking of football, the Colts didn't do it last night,
darn it. They tried, though, didn't they.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Philip Rivers gave it was.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Seventy seven passing yards. You know, the last time he
had that many touchdown passes in the regular season was
December twentieth of twenty twenty, which.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Sounds like an impressive stat but then you realize that's
the last time he played in the NFL. He hasn't
in five years, so he didn't have an opportunity to
have a game like that. Yeah, No, I mean, Philip
Rivers played great last night, and the Indiana Colts defense
did not.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
They said, no, it's not gonna happen. Every time the
camera panned up to the suite with.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
His family, Philip Rivers family.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It was like one more child was in there.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
How many kids do you have? What the jokes are
kind of like, what is Philip Rivers have like ten kids?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, guys got exactly ten kids?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Actually, yes he does.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
He needs a full suite. A lot of people buy
a suite, like the players will get a suite and
invite all their family and friends in phill it Ulph.
Philip Rivers has to buy a sweet because that's the
only way they can get that many tickets altogether.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Final score forty eight to twenty seven. Are they still
in the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Technically? Technically the Colts are still in the playoffs? They
according to NFL dot Com, they after last night's loss,
they have a three percent chance of making the playoffs.
So they're telling me there's a chance. Yeah, they still
have a chance. Not a good chance, but still a chance.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Hey, Speaking of a Speaking of traveling and driving around
Triple A predicting that this year will be a record
year for holiday travel. One hundred and twenty two point
four million Americans expected to travel fifty miles or more
from home today, one of the busiest travel days, and
more travelers means busier roads, airports, and destinations. This is
(05:28):
a two point two percent increase from last year's record
of travelers, which was one hundred and nineteen million travelers.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Can you imagine getting on an airplane this week? No,
I would have no interest at being anywhere near an airport.
I don't even want to pick anybody up from an
airport calling uber, I'm not going to get you. I
don't want to be anywhere near an airport.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It's going to be about eight million people who are
going to be taking domestic flights, and nearly five million
are going to use buses, trains, and cruise ships. But
driving is the most popular option. You have a hunt
hundred and nine and a half million people expected to drive.
Gas prices cheaper than what they have been and what
(06:08):
here in Indiana. Gas Buddy is saying that the average
gas price in Indiana went up nine point seven cents
per gallon last week. We're sitting at two dollars and
seventy six cents per gallon.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
So, and the other thing that's going to help a
lot is that most good portions of the country are
seeing record high temperature. So I mean, obviously depending on
where you're traveling, but a lot of the country we
are here, you're not going to have nasty roads and
blizzard conditions and you know, terrible travel conditions like you normally.
(06:43):
What unfortunately also means a lot of the country is
not going to have a white Christmas, including us here
in Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
So as you're traveling out and you're filling up your
gas tank, just remember how much is going just for taxes.
You've got about thirty remind me please, thirty six cents
per gallon for the state excise tax, you've got the
sales tax. Oh, and also that fixed federal gas tax.
So that's nice. What about seventy six cents per gallon?
(07:09):
Is just seventy three cents per gallon just going to
pay for taxes?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, Indiana with one of the highest gas taxes in
the entire country. And when Mike Braun, Governor Mike Braun
was We're number one, was asked about the ridiculously high
gas taxes that he voted for voted for when he
was in the General Assembly. His response was, well, that's
use tax.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
That's a used tax.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
That's a use tax.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
You want to drive, you're going to pay for it.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
So if we want to make the gas tax one
hundred dollars a gallon, Mike Braun, what would your response
be if that was the case, that's the use tax.
What do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Why? Answer time, there's I wish someone would do something
about that.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Absolutely, I absolutely, as your state general assemblyman, voted for
that increase in gas taxes and when asked about it,
I don't know what do you want me to do
about it? I believe more sure I made the gas
tax that high? How do you expect me to reduce
the gas tax?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
So? Where are people traveling too? That are not staying
in the Great Hoosier State. Top destinations are Florida, Orlando,
Fort Lauderdale, and Miami. You've got the top international destinations
by the way for Christmas, Cancun, Punta Cana and also Cosammel.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Orlando, Miami and Fort Lauderdale for Lauderdale Miami.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So close to one another.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, but in just think those are all East Coast
Florida locations not Gulf Coast like Destin or Tampa or
Clearwater or St. Pete, those sort of places.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So I selected a study you mentioned flying and they
say that Jet Blue has the highest delay rate of
any major US airline. Twenty nine percent of the time
Jet Blue flights are delayed in December, followed by United
and then American Airlines, Southwest, Delta, and United Airlines.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Now, I think part of this, so you know, numbers
can be deceiving. I think part of the reason why
Jet Blue gets this rap for having so many delays
on Christmas is that it's based out of the Northeast.
It's based out of New Jersey and New York, and
so you're going to have more weather issues there than
if you're based out of let's say Texas, like Southwest
is and other airlines that fly all around the country,
(09:22):
like for example, the Tide for second is Air Wisconsin,
which I didn't even know that was an airline, But
my guess is the thing Air Wisconsin regional flight. It's
probably going to have a lot of travel delays associated
with weather in December because you're in Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah, the Northeast states have the highest marks for delays,
with Maryland and Washington, d C. Being in the one
and two spots, followed by New Jersey, Maine, and then Pennsylvania.
It's all of the states that they list for delays
are all East coast Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
And again all northern East coast states too, so and
again saying that weather is can certainly a contributing factor
into these delays like it usually is. It's December. Yeah,
weather's going to stink in New York. Weather's gonna stink
in Pennsylvania. That's what happens.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So, speaking of gas prices and high prices of everything,
now might be a decent time for you to have
some gold or silver because those prices are reaching record highs.
Did you see the price of gold is now four
four hundred and forty five dollars per ounce.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
How's how's your jewelry box looking?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You want to go through? You think about Melton something
through the jewelry This wedding ring? Is that what you want?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You know, I'm not going to say the wedding ring,
But don't act like the wedding ring is the only
jewelry you own. You've got an entire massive jewelry box
brimming like there are bracelets and necklaces falling out of it.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Most of its fake costume jewelry. There might be some
real gold in there.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Well, let's put some point. Let's go file silver. Okay,
So gold, gold.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Is Gold is up seventy percent, seventy percent.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It is just under five thousand dollars and ounce. You
could go a year. It's double in a year, which
if you don't know the price of like precious metals
like gold and silver and platinum, they generally don't move
that much. They're just these kind of guys that just
kind of slowly go a little up or go a
little down. They don't change a whole lot. So for
(11:26):
gold to double in price in a year is insane.
And if you thought that was crazy, the price of
silver also at a record high. It just went over
seventy dollars an ounce for silver. In January of twenty
twenty four, it was twenty two dollars an ounce. So
the price of silver has more than tripled in eighteen months.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It's up one hundred and twenty eight percent since the
start of this year, and so a lot of people
thinking maybe we need to start investing in that gold
all always valued is you know, one of those precious
medals that's just stable, right.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
You gotta have a set of earrings or something that
you don't want anymore or don't wear any or golden.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Some of the portfolio protect against any future economic uncertainties.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I mean, there's a ton of pawnshops in this town.
We could probably get cash for them today.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Investors paying attention because whoever was is going to be
named as the next Fed Reserve chair, could you know,
play a part into the golden.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Whether the interest rates are going up or down? Correct?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, yeah, Okay, we'll go through the jewelry box later.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Please.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
This is the Kendall and Casey Show. It's ninety three WYBC.
Rob Kendall just tweeted this. He said, out and about
getting signatures to fire our rotten town government and turn
Brownsburg into a city. Good. First couple of days, impromptu
open invitation. He'll be at McDonald's on Main Street from
eleven until noon if you want to come by sign
(12:57):
and discuss political gripes of yours.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The man is on vacation and he is spending his
time in the city of Brownberg gathering Brownsburg, gathering signatures
so that he can make that community better and then
inviting you to just publicly debate him about whatever gripes
you have.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Does McDonald's know this is happening. Has he warned the
management there of what's about to take place?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
The Hamburglar is going to be very upset about.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I guess so. Indiana lawmakers. They all agree that families
are struggling with high costs. However, they disagree on how
much the state government should do to help. The Indiana
General Assembly returning January fifth, it's going to be a
short session. And a study back in July found that
electric bills in Indiana rose seventeen and a half percent.
(13:47):
This was the largest increase since at least two thousand
and five, and the House Minority leader from Fort Wayne
he suggested eliminating these seven percent sales tax that is
tacked on to residential utility bills as a way to
provide some immediate relief to Indiana consumers. However, you've got
your House Speaker, Todd Houston. He expressed concern about the
(14:11):
government's budget. Not your budget, the government's budget.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
This is this is a disgusting quote from the Speaker
of the House, Todd Houston. This is an absolute quote.
I'm a little sensitive about the conversation about taking away
the sales tax only because at the very moment you
take away that sales tax, this is the worst part.
My friends will want to spend government money somewhere else.
(14:38):
This is the guy that opposed property tax relief for you.
This is the same guy that's been speaking of the
House for a very very long time. He's overseen the
creation and operation of the IEDC that wasted hundreds of
millions of your taxpayer dollars, still doing it on crony capitalism,
hand out to friends. Go just google three Kings in Indiana.
You'll see that great article that was written about how
(15:00):
all the corruption that took place in the IEDC. But
it's my friends. My friends will want to spend the
government money somewhere else, having no accountability for himself and
the massive spending that's taken place under his overseeing of
the House.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
It's really interesting because the Democrats, they say they want
to focus on utility bills, housing costs, childcare access, healthcare affordability,
and preventing surprise utility rate hikes. Now, if you're a
Democrat in this stay and you're running for office, all
you have to do is say I want to lower
the cost of living for you, over and over and
(15:36):
over again.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
This is where we are in the state of politics
in Indiana. It's they that's what they should do. It's
the Democrats that are coming out and saying, hey, let's
eliminate this tax, and the Republicans are going, well, i'd
kind of like you buy my friends, my local government
friends will spend more, My friends will spend more. The
Democrats are the ones that are coming out and saying
(15:59):
we need to cut taxes, and the Republicans are balking
at it. In fact, Laquinta had a great line. He said, hey,
we give data centers a sales tax exemption, why can't
we do that for our customers? And again Todd Houston,
Speaker of the House, not concerned about you, the taxpayer.
He's talking about how the government is going to manage it.
What's going to happen to the government if we do this.
Let Laquinna, the Democrat, he's talking about what we can
(16:21):
do for consumers, what we can do for the taxpayer.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, Giaquinta is his name. So the session is going
to be a little shorter than usual. Bills must pass
their chamber by January twenty fifth, and they have to
reach the governor by February twenty fourth. And the lawmakers
they're warning about rushing bills because that could cause mistakes.
This is the Kendall and Casey Show. It's ninety three WYBC.
(16:45):
Mark your calendar, kids. Governor Mike Brown is going to
deliver the twenty sixth State of the State Address on
January fourteenth. He should really just let Brace speak and
tell us.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
What's going to go on. Right, Let's Houston and Brace
speak and they can tell us what's going on. Okay,
here are three things I would rather do than watch
Mike Braun's State of the State address. Okay, Number three,
go on a romantic candlelit dinner date with a horny
Nancy Pelosi. That's number that's number three. Number two, I
(17:21):
would rather spend the day at a farmer's market listening
to AOC talk about her feelings. Really, I would rather
do rather do that than watch Mike Braun's State of
the State address. And the number one thing I would
rather do than watch Mike Braun's State of the State address,
I would rather go to Panda Express with State Senator
(17:43):
Mike Bohachik and have him give me a ride home. No,
I would rather do that than watch Mike Braun's State
of the State address.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Those are all horrible options, and yet somehow better than
watching Mike Braun deliver the State of the State. And
I quote this is from last year.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, what he said last year?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And I quote, Yes, too many seniors and young families
are getting priced out of their homes due to runaway
property taxes. My property tax plan is built on three priorities.
Cut property taxes for Hoo's, your families, especially new homeowners
and seniors, cap the annual increase to protect homeowners, farmers
and businesses. And reform the system through transparency.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
That sounds awesome. That sounds great.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Has the system been reformed? I love it was reformed
so much they're gonna do it again.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
He's got an ace up his sleeve. Just ask him
it's coming, and ace up my sleeve for property taxes.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
He said that Hoosier sent me here with a clear directive.
This cannot be ignored.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And what happened He ignored it. It was it was
totally ignored, totally ignored, and we had a property tax
bill I mean, Mike Braun did something that is almost
impossible to do. He championed a bill that everybody hates.
Every single person hates that property tax bill. And that
is the signature accomplishment of his first year.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Do you remember when he was quoting all of the
people that the Kendeling Casey shows supplied for him, Hoosiers
struggling with spikes in their property tax bill. It's like
Janice from Moresville and also Grant and Plainfield, Sean and
Kimberly and Martinsville. And then he actually invited Rob and
(19:28):
Stephanie from Greenwood to sit in the.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
In the audience and they were in the balcony at
the State of a State address when he was talking
about property taxes, he stopped what he was doing, acknowledged
them and how they've struggled with property taxes. It was
a big deal.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
He said, this is not sustainable. They need immediately, immediate relief,
and then he thanked him for being there. And then
what happened. He turned around and didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
He did just really laid an egg with SB one
and everybody hates it, and they're gonna apparently try again.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yep, gonna look at it one more time.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Maybe that'll be his message with the State of the
State address this year. Hey, all the things that I'm
gonna tell you, I'm gonna do in twenty twenty six,
We're not gonna get any of them done again, but
we'll try in twenty twenty seven, we'll.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Try one more time. You'd really you'd rather go on
a romantic dinner with Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
A romantic candlelit dinner with a horny Nancy Pelosi. I
don't know, yes, I would rather do that.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
They're all farmers of Farmers Market with AOC. You won't
even do that with me.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Can you imagine that the amount of words that she
can say in a.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Day while you're strolling I'm just sitting there picking some
fresh flowers, that's looking at looking at farmers mark.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Law, honey and handmade soaps, listening to her tell me
about all her feelings.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Oh no, yeah, what was what was the last.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
One that I would rather go to? Panda Express?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
State Senator Michael Hotch, you can have him drive me home.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
No, no, no, that's not a good idea at all. Okay,
So you've got the Trump administration. They're giving illegal aliens
who self deport this holiday season three thousand dollars. That's
up from the one thousand dollars. Why, because they want
everyone home for the holidays go through.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
The immigration process anymore. They're in the country illegally and
they're going to self deport, and you're announcing a new incentive.
What is that announcement, Mountam Secretary.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Well, it's home for the holidays season. So you know,
not only are we returning those kiddos back to their
families that biden loss, we also are saying that if
you voluntarily want to go home now to your country,
if you're in this United States of America illegally, we
will give you three thousand dollars through the holidays to
send you home. We'll buy you a ticket, give you
three thousand dollars to go home. And that includes people
(21:53):
that have not been detained, maybe have interacted with US,
are detained, and don't have criminal charges against them. Yeah, Braise,
your hand will help you get home well facilitated, and
you might get the chance to come back to this
country the right way.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I remember when I was flying and I was in TSA,
there are signs everywhere saying, you know, hey, self deport,
self deport, and they were offering two thousand dollars, so
now they've upped it to three thousand dollars. And guess
who's paying for that?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You are? Oh? Yeah, correct, everybody's I hate everything about this,
Oh you do, absolutely hate everything about this because it
almost seems like a good idea. And I'm sure from
a pure financial standpoint, it's cheaper for us to give
them money to leave than it is to send ice
after them and track them down and all the cost
(22:44):
and expenses associated to that. But this is an ends
don't justify the means sort of situation. We shouldn't be
paying people who came here illegally to go away. They
should not be rewarded for coming into this country illegally
and then us giving them some incentive to finally leave
when you've done something bad. Is It is a terrible
(23:04):
example of where the ends do not justify the means
of how we get there.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I wonder what the success rate on something like this is,
Like somebody's on the fence and they're like, if I
just hold out, maybe they'll up the price to another
thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Okay, now's our time to go, right I mean it's
not this, but it's along the lines of negotiating with terrorists.
I don't like it. And then what's to stop them
from just coming into the country again getting another three grand?
I mean, this seems like an infinite money glitch. Just
hang out by the border, come into the country illegally,
get three grand, go home, come back, get another three grand,
go home, come back and get another three grand.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I wonder how many people think that it's a like
a bait and switch tactic, like Okay, I'm going to
self deport, where's my three thousand dollars? But they're really
afraid that they will be detained instead.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Right, would you trust the would you trust ICE in this? Hey,
come on in, We'll give you three thousand dollars to leave,
and I wake up tomorrow morning in El Salvadorian prison.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah. So you've got the Miami Correctional Facility in Idianta
now holding immigration detainees for ICE. That prison sixty five
miles north of Indianapolis. More than five hundred and fifty
immigrant men that are currently detained there. Most are from
Latin American countries, and they're being held there for immigration violations,
(24:17):
not new criminal cases and they are kept separate from
the eighteen hundred state prisoners that are also housed in
that medium security prison. They have access to two dining halls,
indoor wreck areas, religious services, and also limited outdoor recreation.
Their cells include TVs and also tables for calling family,
(24:41):
contacting lawyers, and also entertainment. They get five hours of
wrec per week, by the way, and visitors are allowed
one hour per week.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Good news is the Indiana Department of Correction came out
and the story was reported in the Indiana Capitol Chronicle
talking about how not one penny of Indiana taxpayer do
are going to fund this. We are being reimbursed by
the federal government for every single detainee that we're putting
up in that facility.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, okay, but who's paying for the federal tax dollars?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Oh, we're paying for it ultimately, But the State of
Indiana tax dollars are not paying for this. Look, this
is a problem that's got to get fixed. It's the
federal government's responsibility to fix it. I'm glad to see
that the federal government is paying us to house these detainees.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
So the Treasury Secretary Scott Besson. He said that there
is a massive investigation into more than one hundred money
service businesses along the US border.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
At President Trump's direction, the Treasury Department is utilizing all
tools to stop terrorists, cartels, drug smugglers, and human traffickers.
In line with that effort, I'm announcing a new data
driven border operation to help root out potential cartel related
money laundering from the US financial system. Treasury's Financial Crimes
(25:56):
Enforcement Network, known as fince and is targeting over one
hundred money service businesses along the Southwest border. Specifically, FINCEEN
is issuing six notices of investigation, dozens of examination referrals
to the IRS, and over fifty compliance outreach letters. These businesses,
(26:18):
which provide financial services outside of a formal bank, face
elevated exposure to illicit activity, including money laundering related to
drug smuggling and human trafficking.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Okay, so it's good that they're putting in this effort,
but are they really going to eliminate some of these
entrenched networks or is this just going to be a
temporary disruption of cash flow.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, it's a great question because I always question whether
or not these things function like we hope they're going
to I remember, you know, during George W. Bush being president,
you know, putting the financial freeze on terrorist organizations was
a huge part of what he wanted to do. Created
a of new banking regulations. All I know is it
(27:02):
seems like it's harder and harder to get my money
whenever I go to a bank now, Like whenever I
go to the bank and I want to do something,
the bank seems to always want to give me a
hard time, and they justify it that, oh, we're under
a lot of regulations and we've got to worry about
money laundering and held responsible for that. So I don't
know if these things are working properly. I know it
makes my life harder because all of a sudden, the
banking regulations affect everybody and it makes things tougher.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Something else that's happening. The Trump administration has sent a
strike team into Minnesota and their goal is to investigate
new allegations of major unemployment fraud under Tim Wall. So
this is happening with the US Department of Labor, and
they say that this is coming after reports of widespread fraud, waste,
(27:45):
and abuse in the state. And one other thing that
is happening is Representative Randy Fine has announced that he's
working on something, and that is to deport Elan Omar.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Well, I agree with the President one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Omar is a walking example of everything that is wrong
with our legal immigration policy. We imported tens of thousands
of people who hate America, add no value to it,
rob and steal from us, and we're supposed to be
okay with it. I don't think elon Omar should be
expelled from Congress. I think she should be expelled from
the United States, and that's something that I'm working on.
(28:22):
But what prompted me to take this position is she
decided to send around fundraising emails saying I should be
expelled from Congress.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Well, if that's her view, she should go for it.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
And so what I've said is if I'm going to
try to expel her, it won't be in a fundraising email.
She'll deal with it on the floor of the US
House of Representatives.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Okay, that to me sounds like he's not doing it
for the country, He's doing it because of himself.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah. Absolutely, he wants to show how tough he is
and everything here. So yeah, I mean, I don't think
it's reasonable and we want to be you know, deporting
sitting members of Congress, no matter how awful they are.
But look shocking. I mean, Eleanor Omar has shown us
since she's been in Congress how much she hates America,
how much she has no use for this country whatsoever,
(29:07):
and has been out there making excuses for all of
the fraud that's been taking place in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Well, at one point she tried to become the victim
of it, saying that, oh, they were suffering as well.
By the way, Tim Wallas has appointed a new Anti
Frauds Are.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
That's awesome afterwards, that's like.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
How do you think that's gonna work out?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
And Anti frauds Are after you've had all of this
massive fraud, that's a great idea. Tim might have been
awesome for something five years ago before this started.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
So there's a place here in Indianapolis that says, maybe
you're not sexy enough, you don't know how to act,
you don't know me.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Maybe I'm just as sexy as I'm supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
We'll talk about it coming up. It is the Kennelly
Casey Show. It's ninety three WIBC. Do you know how
to conduct yourself in a grown and sexy manner?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Oh good question. I definitely can conduct myself in a
sexy manner. I don't know about the grown part, but
I mean, come on, look at me here, I'm doing
it right now.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Are you yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Are you sure?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Are you? Are you? Though you're kiss You could judge
for yourself. Kendlely case he into the YouTube search bar.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
I can definitely conduct myself in a sexy manner. Grown
up manner, that's another question.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
It's debatable. The Georgia Street Lounge in Indianapolis is setting
new age rules. Their new policy is that the nightclub
is only going to allow guests that are thirty and older.
Staff and marketing teams and special guests may still be
admitted if they're under thirty, but no events for anyone
under thirty will be hosted. The management stated that the
(30:48):
younger patrons do not know how to conduct themselves in
a grown and sexy environment.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
I just love that they threw that in at the
end there. I mean, I can understand your business. You
want to. You've had some lot of calls. The cops
have been called on your establishment.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Seven times in the last year.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Times yeah, a year. That doesn't seem like a lot.
But then you put out a statement, right, all right, everybody,
let's grow up, but keep it sexy, right, yeah, hey,
keep it sexy. Okay. So I'm on their website right now,
and they have this little image about a flyers. It's
ladies night Ladies half off wearing mesh fits. So if
(31:26):
you want half off, you got to have something mesh on.
Oh that does sound sexy. Apparently they at least they're
true to their brand everything about the Georgia Street Lounge.
They just want to keep it sexy.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
So between January first and December twenty first of this
past year, i AMPD filed seven reports for the nightclub's address.
In the last six months, they have three visits from
the police, two for disturbances and one for assaults. In
previous years, they've had multiple reports five and twenty four
and then six in twenty three. So they are trying
(32:00):
to step up their game and want their patrons to
step it up as well. Be grown, but also be
a little sexy.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Be sexy while you're being grown. That is all that
is my favorite business press release of the entire year.
Be a grown adult and be sexy.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
So the Chiefs have entered into a new agreement with
the state of Kansas to host the Chiefs football beginning
with the twenty thirty one NFL season. The team announced
that and everybody lost their mind thinking they were moving.
Well they are, but from one side of the river
(32:42):
to the other.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
The lack of geographic knowledge by the general population is stunning. Sometimes, Yes,
there is a Kansas City, Kansas, and there is a
Kansas City, Missouri. They are right next to each other,
separated by a nice little river. So they're literally moving
like fifteen miles across the river and that's it. But
of course everybody is losing their mind about this.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, so they're redesigning and building a new state of
the art Dome Stadium, and Arrowhead Stadium will no longer
be the home for the Chiefs following the twenty thirty season.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Which this is really interesting because we've spent the last
week talking about how the Chicago Bears are exploring Northwest
Indiana as an option for their new stadium. And to
you know, quote the people in Illinois when they heard
this news, I mean, they were acting like it was
the end of the world.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Direct quote. That is a quote I thought, don't know
if that was very sexy.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I think I saw that in the Chicago Tribune's website.
It was the state of Indiana. Quote said, So I
get that people are emotionally attached to their city, they're
emotionally attached to their state. But there's way too much money.
And look, there's this debate as to whether or not
we should be sending taxpayer dollars to help these billionaires
get a free stadium. But I'll leave you with this.
(33:58):
If you don't want to pay for your team stadium,
somebody else will. And that's exactly happened with the Chiefs
and Kansas.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Apparently Kansas offering better tax abatements than Missouri, why would
they move?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
And they're going to get the Chiefs in a new stadium.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
This is the Kendall and Casey Show. It's ninety three WIBC.
It feels like Friday, Yeah, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's actually it's you know what, It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's the week of Christmas. There are no rules, there
are no days. It's just total chaos.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Do whatever you do what.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Some people are working. A lot of people aren't working.
Some people are standing on the streets just yelling.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Some people are hitting every pothole on their way into
work like a boss. I was telling that pothole who
is in charge? You morning?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
So many potholes on the way to the radio station.
Now what was interesting is you actually intentionally drove into them.
Now what did it? It was like you were It
was like you were trying to you mad. You accelerated
into the potholes, gripped the wheel with both hands and
hit it like you were mad at it.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Well, what was that going to do? If I swerved
out of the way of the pothole, I would either
hit a car or a pedestrian or a huge light pole.
I had no choice. I had to directly head on,
go for it.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
It's not a game. Yeah, actually it is a game.
You're trying to avoid the.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Pot now, I had no choice.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
And based on the number of middle fingers we saw
from other drivers coming in this morning. I wasn't the
only one who noticed.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, well, they were just telling me that I was
number one, and.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Well, as it relates to the ratings on the Kendall
and Casey Show, they were right, that's all. They were
just recognized they were those Casey Daniels driving into WIBC.
Let's tell I hear that they're number one. Let's make
sure she knows.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
She knows that at least I wasn't picking my nose
and flicking boogers.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, you know why, because you're not a wide receiver
for the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
That is an interesting way to celebrate a touchdown, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I love Look, I'm a big fan of touchdown celebrations,
and the NFL's kind of loosened up a little bit
over the last few years and have loud a little
bit more creativity from touchdown celebrations. But so, there's a
wide receiver for the Detroit Lions. His name is great name.
By the way, I'm on raw Saint Brown sure is
the Detroit Lions receiver and for the last several weeks,
(01:58):
whenever he makes a big play, he pretends to pick
his nose and then flick it at the other team.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
That's what I do, which is.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Kind of like that's like that's if I was the
other team, that's like more painful than if he did
give me the finger, Like that's like more insulting, Like
the booger flick is more insulting to me than getting
the finger.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Now, that's not one of the rules that the NFL
said you can't do.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Despite that, so it's funny you mentioned that the NFL
has a list of rules. These are acceptable celebrations. These
are unacceptable. And even though even though it is not
explicitly forbidden, pretending to pick your nose and flicking it
at the at the other team is not explicitly forbidden
in the NFL rules, the NFL has told him, you do,
you need to stop doing that or we're going to
(02:41):
throw a flag in penalties.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I think one of my favorite celebrations is like when
the Colts they take the football, put it under their
jersey and do the little dance like Blue does run.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Which is another fascinating thing that the Indianapolis Colts have
the only mascot in sports history with a beer gut,
and so that's why they're doing that. They put it
under their shirt to make it. I mean, look, just
the pick in your nose and booger flick. It doesn't
seem like that big of a deal. I mean, there
have been some terrible touchdown celebrations before. There was the
kid in college that got on his hands and knees
(03:11):
and lifted his back leg like he was a dog, right,
you know, Pianana fire hydrant. There was there was one
in the NFL where the player scored a touchdown and
he was either he was trying to like pantomime to
make it look like he was either giving birth to.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
The football or evacuating.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Or yes, having a major transaction with the football.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Speaking of football, the Colts didn't do it last night,
darn it. They tried, though, didn't they.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Philip Rivers gave it was.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Seventy seven passing yards. You know, the last time he
had that many touchdown passes in the regular season was
December twentieth of twenty twenty, which.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Sounds like an impressive stat but then you realize that's
the last time he played in the NFL. He hasn't
in five years, so he didn't have an opportunity to
have a game like that. Yeah, No, I mean, Philip
Rivers played great last night, and the Indiana Colts defense
did not.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
They said, no, it's not gonna happen. Every time the
camera panned up to the suite with.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
His family, Philip Rivers family.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It was like one more child was in there.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
How many kids do you have? What the jokes are
kind of like, what is Philip Rivers have like ten kids?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, guys got exactly ten kids?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Actually, yes he does.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
He needs a full suite. A lot of people buy
a suite, like the players will get a suite and
invite all their family and friends in phill it Ulph.
Philip Rivers has to buy a sweet because that's the
only way they can get that many tickets altogether.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Final score forty eight to twenty seven. Are they still
in the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Technically? Technically the Colts are still in the playoffs? They
according to NFL dot Com, they after last night's loss,
they have a three percent chance of making the playoffs.
So they're telling me there's a chance. Yeah, they still
have a chance. Not a good chance, but still a chance.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Hey, Speaking of a Speaking of traveling and driving around
Triple A predicting that this year will be a record
year for holiday travel. One hundred and twenty two point
four million Americans expected to travel fifty miles or more
from home today, one of the busiest travel days, and
more travelers means busier roads, airports, and destinations. This is
(05:28):
a two point two percent increase from last year's record
of travelers, which was one hundred and nineteen million travelers.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Can you imagine getting on an airplane this week? No,
I would have no interest at being anywhere near an airport.
I don't even want to pick anybody up from an
airport calling uber, I'm not going to get you. I
don't want to be anywhere near an airport.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It's going to be about eight million people who are
going to be taking domestic flights, and nearly five million
are going to use buses, trains, and cruise ships. But
driving is the most popular option. You have a hunt
hundred and nine and a half million people expected to drive.
Gas prices cheaper than what they have been and what
(06:08):
here in Indiana. Gas Buddy is saying that the average
gas price in Indiana went up nine point seven cents
per gallon last week. We're sitting at two dollars and
seventy six cents per gallon.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
So, and the other thing that's going to help a
lot is that most good portions of the country are
seeing record high temperature. So I mean, obviously depending on
where you're traveling, but a lot of the country we
are here, you're not going to have nasty roads and
blizzard conditions and you know, terrible travel conditions like you normally.
(06:43):
What unfortunately also means a lot of the country is
not going to have a white Christmas, including us here
in Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
So as you're traveling out and you're filling up your
gas tank, just remember how much is going just for taxes.
You've got about thirty remind me please, thirty six cents
per gallon for the state excise tax, you've got the
sales tax. Oh, and also that fixed federal gas tax.
So that's nice. What about seventy six cents per gallon?
(07:09):
Is just seventy three cents per gallon just going to
pay for taxes?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, Indiana with one of the highest gas taxes in
the entire country. And when Mike Braun, Governor Mike Braun
was We're number one, was asked about the ridiculously high
gas taxes that he voted for voted for when he
was in the General Assembly. His response was, well, that's
use tax.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
That's a used tax.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
That's a use tax.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
You want to drive, you're going to pay for it.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
So if we want to make the gas tax one
hundred dollars a gallon, Mike Braun, what would your response
be if that was the case, that's the use tax.
What do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Why? Answer time, there's I wish someone would do something
about that.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Absolutely, I absolutely, as your state general assemblyman, voted for
that increase in gas taxes and when asked about it,
I don't know what do you want me to do
about it? I believe more sure I made the gas
tax that high? How do you expect me to reduce
the gas tax?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
So? Where are people traveling too? That are not staying
in the Great Hoosier State. Top destinations are Florida, Orlando,
Fort Lauderdale, and Miami. You've got the top international destinations
by the way for Christmas, Cancun, Punta Cana and also Cosammel.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Orlando, Miami and Fort Lauderdale for Lauderdale Miami.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So close to one another.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, but in just think those are all East Coast
Florida locations not Gulf Coast like Destin or Tampa or
Clearwater or St. Pete, those sort of places.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So I selected a study you mentioned flying and they
say that Jet Blue has the highest delay rate of
any major US airline. Twenty nine percent of the time
Jet Blue flights are delayed in December, followed by United
and then American Airlines, Southwest, Delta, and United Airlines.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Now, I think part of this, so you know, numbers
can be deceiving. I think part of the reason why
Jet Blue gets this rap for having so many delays
on Christmas is that it's based out of the Northeast.
It's based out of New Jersey and New York, and
so you're going to have more weather issues there than
if you're based out of let's say Texas, like Southwest
is and other airlines that fly all around the country,
(09:22):
like for example, the Tide for second is Air Wisconsin,
which I didn't even know that was an airline, But
my guess is the thing Air Wisconsin regional flight. It's
probably going to have a lot of travel delays associated
with weather in December because you're in Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah, the Northeast states have the highest marks for delays,
with Maryland and Washington, d C. Being in the one
and two spots, followed by New Jersey, Maine, and then Pennsylvania.
It's all of the states that they list for delays
are all East coast Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
And again all northern East coast states too, so and
again saying that weather is can certainly a contributing factor
into these delays like it usually is. It's December. Yeah,
weather's going to stink in New York. Weather's gonna stink
in Pennsylvania. That's what happens.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So, speaking of gas prices and high prices of everything,
now might be a decent time for you to have
some gold or silver because those prices are reaching record highs.
Did you see the price of gold is now four
four hundred and forty five dollars per ounce.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
How's how's your jewelry box looking?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You want to go through? You think about Melton something
through the jewelry This wedding ring? Is that what you want?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You know, I'm not going to say the wedding ring,
But don't act like the wedding ring is the only
jewelry you own. You've got an entire massive jewelry box
brimming like there are bracelets and necklaces falling out of it.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Most of its fake costume jewelry. There might be some
real gold in there.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Well, let's put some point. Let's go file silver. Okay,
So gold, gold.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Is Gold is up seventy percent, seventy percent.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It is just under five thousand dollars and ounce. You
could go a year. It's double in a year, which
if you don't know the price of like precious metals
like gold and silver and platinum, they generally don't move
that much. They're just these kind of guys that just
kind of slowly go a little up or go a
little down. They don't change a whole lot. So for
(11:26):
gold to double in price in a year is insane.
And if you thought that was crazy, the price of
silver also at a record high. It just went over
seventy dollars an ounce for silver. In January of twenty
twenty four, it was twenty two dollars an ounce. So
the price of silver has more than tripled in eighteen months.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It's up one hundred and twenty eight percent since the
start of this year, and so a lot of people
thinking maybe we need to start investing in that gold
all always valued is you know, one of those precious
medals that's just stable, right.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
You gotta have a set of earrings or something that
you don't want anymore or don't wear any or golden.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Some of the portfolio protect against any future economic uncertainties.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I mean, there's a ton of pawnshops in this town.
We could probably get cash for them today.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Investors paying attention because whoever was is going to be
named as the next Fed Reserve chair, could you know,
play a part into the golden.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Whether the interest rates are going up or down? Correct?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, yeah, Okay, we'll go through the jewelry box later.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Please.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
This is the Kendall and Casey Show. It's ninety three WYBC.
Rob Kendall just tweeted this. He said, out and about
getting signatures to fire our rotten town government and turn
Brownsburg into a city. Good. First couple of days, impromptu
open invitation. He'll be at McDonald's on Main Street from
eleven until noon if you want to come by sign
(12:57):
and discuss political gripes of yours.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The man is on vacation and he is spending his
time in the city of Brownberg gathering Brownsburg, gathering signatures
so that he can make that community better and then
inviting you to just publicly debate him about whatever gripes
you have.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Does McDonald's know this is happening. Has he warned the
management there of what's about to take place?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
The Hamburglar is going to be very upset about.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I guess so. Indiana lawmakers. They all agree that families
are struggling with high costs. However, they disagree on how
much the state government should do to help. The Indiana
General Assembly returning January fifth, it's going to be a
short session. And a study back in July found that
electric bills in Indiana rose seventeen and a half percent.
(13:47):
This was the largest increase since at least two thousand
and five, and the House Minority leader from Fort Wayne
he suggested eliminating these seven percent sales tax that is
tacked on to residential utility bills as a way to
provide some immediate relief to Indiana consumers. However, you've got
your House Speaker, Todd Houston. He expressed concern about the
(14:11):
government's budget. Not your budget, the government's budget.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
This is this is a disgusting quote from the Speaker
of the House, Todd Houston. This is an absolute quote.
I'm a little sensitive about the conversation about taking away
the sales tax only because at the very moment you
take away that sales tax, this is the worst part.
My friends will want to spend government money somewhere else.
(14:38):
This is the guy that opposed property tax relief for you.
This is the same guy that's been speaking of the
House for a very very long time. He's overseen the
creation and operation of the IEDC that wasted hundreds of
millions of your taxpayer dollars, still doing it on crony capitalism,
hand out to friends. Go just google three Kings in Indiana.
You'll see that great article that was written about how
(15:00):
all the corruption that took place in the IEDC. But
it's my friends. My friends will want to spend the
government money somewhere else, having no accountability for himself and
the massive spending that's taken place under his overseeing of
the House.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
It's really interesting because the Democrats, they say they want
to focus on utility bills, housing costs, childcare access, healthcare affordability,
and preventing surprise utility rate hikes. Now, if you're a
Democrat in this stay and you're running for office, all
you have to do is say I want to lower
the cost of living for you, over and over and
(15:36):
over again.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
This is where we are in the state of politics
in Indiana. It's they that's what they should do. It's
the Democrats that are coming out and saying, hey, let's
eliminate this tax, and the Republicans are going, well, i'd
kind of like you buy my friends, my local government
friends will spend more, My friends will spend more. The
Democrats are the ones that are coming out and saying
(15:59):
we need to cut taxes, and the Republicans are balking
at it. In fact, Laquinta had a great line. He said, hey,
we give data centers a sales tax exemption, why can't
we do that for our customers? And again Todd Houston,
Speaker of the House, not concerned about you, the taxpayer.
He's talking about how the government is going to manage it.
What's going to happen to the government if we do this.
Let Laquinna, the Democrat, he's talking about what we can
(16:21):
do for consumers, what we can do for the taxpayer.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, Giaquinta is his name. So the session is going
to be a little shorter than usual. Bills must pass
their chamber by January twenty fifth, and they have to
reach the governor by February twenty fourth. And the lawmakers
they're warning about rushing bills because that could cause mistakes.
This is the Kendall and Casey Show. It's ninety three WYBC.
(16:45):
Mark your calendar, kids. Governor Mike Brown is going to
deliver the twenty sixth State of the State Address on
January fourteenth. He should really just let Brace speak and
tell us.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
What's going to go on. Right, Let's Houston and Brace
speak and they can tell us what's going on. Okay,
here are three things I would rather do than watch
Mike Braun's State of the State address. Okay, Number three,
go on a romantic candlelit dinner date with a horny
Nancy Pelosi. That's number that's number three. Number two, I
(17:21):
would rather spend the day at a farmer's market listening
to AOC talk about her feelings. Really, I would rather
do rather do that than watch Mike Braun's State of
the State address. And the number one thing I would
rather do than watch Mike Braun's State of the State address,
I would rather go to Panda Express with State Senator
(17:43):
Mike Bohachik and have him give me a ride home. No,
I would rather do that than watch Mike Braun's State
of the State address.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Those are all horrible options, and yet somehow better than
watching Mike Braun deliver the State of the State. And
I quote this is from last year.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, what he said last year?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And I quote, Yes, too many seniors and young families
are getting priced out of their homes due to runaway
property taxes. My property tax plan is built on three priorities.
Cut property taxes for Hoo's, your families, especially new homeowners
and seniors, cap the annual increase to protect homeowners, farmers
and businesses. And reform the system through transparency.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
That sounds awesome. That sounds great.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Has the system been reformed? I love it was reformed
so much they're gonna do it again.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
He's got an ace up his sleeve. Just ask him
it's coming, and ace up my sleeve for property taxes.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
He said that Hoosier sent me here with a clear directive.
This cannot be ignored.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And what happened He ignored it. It was it was
totally ignored, totally ignored, and we had a property tax
bill I mean, Mike Braun did something that is almost
impossible to do. He championed a bill that everybody hates.
Every single person hates that property tax bill. And that
is the signature accomplishment of his first year.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Do you remember when he was quoting all of the
people that the Kendeling Casey shows supplied for him, Hoosiers
struggling with spikes in their property tax bill. It's like
Janice from Moresville and also Grant and Plainfield, Sean and
Kimberly and Martinsville. And then he actually invited Rob and
(19:28):
Stephanie from Greenwood to sit in the.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
In the audience and they were in the balcony at
the State of a State address when he was talking
about property taxes, he stopped what he was doing, acknowledged
them and how they've struggled with property taxes. It was
a big deal.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
He said, this is not sustainable. They need immediately, immediate relief,
and then he thanked him for being there. And then
what happened. He turned around and didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
He did just really laid an egg with SB one
and everybody hates it, and they're gonna apparently try again.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yep, gonna look at it one more time.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Maybe that'll be his message with the State of the
State address this year. Hey, all the things that I'm
gonna tell you, I'm gonna do in twenty twenty six,
We're not gonna get any of them done again, but
we'll try in twenty twenty seven, we'll.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Try one more time. You'd really you'd rather go on
a romantic dinner with Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
A romantic candlelit dinner with a horny Nancy Pelosi. I
don't know, yes, I would rather do that.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
They're all farmers of Farmers Market with AOC. You won't
even do that with me.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Can you imagine that the amount of words that she
can say in a.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Day while you're strolling I'm just sitting there picking some
fresh flowers, that's looking at looking at farmers mark.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Law, honey and handmade soaps, listening to her tell me
about all her feelings.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Oh no, yeah, what was what was the last.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
One that I would rather go to? Panda Express?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
State Senator Michael Hotch, you can have him drive me home.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
No, no, no, that's not a good idea at all. Okay,
So you've got the Trump administration. They're giving illegal aliens
who self deport this holiday season three thousand dollars. That's
up from the one thousand dollars. Why, because they want
everyone home for the holidays go through.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
The immigration process anymore. They're in the country illegally and
they're going to self deport, and you're announcing a new incentive.
What is that announcement, Mountam Secretary.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Well, it's home for the holidays season. So you know,
not only are we returning those kiddos back to their
families that biden loss, we also are saying that if
you voluntarily want to go home now to your country,
if you're in this United States of America illegally, we
will give you three thousand dollars through the holidays to
send you home. We'll buy you a ticket, give you
three thousand dollars to go home. And that includes people
(21:53):
that have not been detained, maybe have interacted with US,
are detained, and don't have criminal charges against them. Yeah, Braise,
your hand will help you get home well facilitated, and
you might get the chance to come back to this
country the right way.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I remember when I was flying and I was in TSA,
there are signs everywhere saying, you know, hey, self deport,
self deport, and they were offering two thousand dollars, so
now they've upped it to three thousand dollars. And guess
who's paying for that?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You are? Oh? Yeah, correct, everybody's I hate everything about this,
Oh you do, absolutely hate everything about this because it
almost seems like a good idea. And I'm sure from
a pure financial standpoint, it's cheaper for us to give
them money to leave than it is to send ice
after them and track them down and all the cost
(22:44):
and expenses associated to that. But this is an ends
don't justify the means sort of situation. We shouldn't be
paying people who came here illegally to go away. They
should not be rewarded for coming into this country illegally
and then us giving them some incentive to finally leave
when you've done something bad. Is It is a terrible
(23:04):
example of where the ends do not justify the means
of how we get there.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I wonder what the success rate on something like this is,
Like somebody's on the fence and they're like, if I
just hold out, maybe they'll up the price to another
thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Okay, now's our time to go, right I mean it's
not this, but it's along the lines of negotiating with terrorists.
I don't like it. And then what's to stop them
from just coming into the country again getting another three grand?
I mean, this seems like an infinite money glitch. Just
hang out by the border, come into the country illegally,
get three grand, go home, come back, get another three grand,
go home, come back and get another three grand.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I wonder how many people think that it's a like
a bait and switch tactic, like Okay, I'm going to
self deport, where's my three thousand dollars? But they're really
afraid that they will be detained instead.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Right, would you trust the would you trust ICE in this? Hey,
come on in, We'll give you three thousand dollars to leave,
and I wake up tomorrow morning in El Salvadorian prison.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah. So you've got the Miami Correctional Facility in Idianta
now holding immigration detainees for ICE. That prison sixty five
miles north of Indianapolis. More than five hundred and fifty
immigrant men that are currently detained there. Most are from
Latin American countries, and they're being held there for immigration violations,
(24:17):
not new criminal cases and they are kept separate from
the eighteen hundred state prisoners that are also housed in
that medium security prison. They have access to two dining halls,
indoor wreck areas, religious services, and also limited outdoor recreation.
Their cells include TVs and also tables for calling family,
(24:41):
contacting lawyers, and also entertainment. They get five hours of
wrec per week, by the way, and visitors are allowed
one hour per week.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Good news is the Indiana Department of Correction came out
and the story was reported in the Indiana Capitol Chronicle
talking about how not one penny of Indiana taxpayer do
are going to fund this. We are being reimbursed by
the federal government for every single detainee that we're putting
up in that facility.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, okay, but who's paying for the federal tax dollars?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Oh, we're paying for it ultimately, But the State of
Indiana tax dollars are not paying for this. Look, this
is a problem that's got to get fixed. It's the
federal government's responsibility to fix it. I'm glad to see
that the federal government is paying us to house these detainees.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
So the Treasury Secretary Scott Besson. He said that there
is a massive investigation into more than one hundred money
service businesses along the US border.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
At President Trump's direction, the Treasury Department is utilizing all
tools to stop terrorists, cartels, drug smugglers, and human traffickers.
In line with that effort, I'm announcing a new data
driven border operation to help root out potential cartel related
money laundering from the US financial system. Treasury's Financial Crimes
(25:56):
Enforcement Network, known as fince and is targeting over one
hundred money service businesses along the Southwest border. Specifically, FINCEEN
is issuing six notices of investigation, dozens of examination referrals
to the IRS, and over fifty compliance outreach letters. These businesses,
(26:18):
which provide financial services outside of a formal bank, face
elevated exposure to illicit activity, including money laundering related to
drug smuggling and human trafficking.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Okay, so it's good that they're putting in this effort,
but are they really going to eliminate some of these
entrenched networks or is this just going to be a
temporary disruption of cash flow.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, it's a great question because I always question whether
or not these things function like we hope they're going
to I remember, you know, during George W. Bush being president,
you know, putting the financial freeze on terrorist organizations was
a huge part of what he wanted to do. Created
a of new banking regulations. All I know is it
(27:02):
seems like it's harder and harder to get my money
whenever I go to a bank now, Like whenever I
go to the bank and I want to do something,
the bank seems to always want to give me a
hard time, and they justify it that, oh, we're under
a lot of regulations and we've got to worry about
money laundering and held responsible for that. So I don't
know if these things are working properly. I know it
makes my life harder because all of a sudden, the
banking regulations affect everybody and it makes things tougher.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Something else that's happening. The Trump administration has sent a
strike team into Minnesota and their goal is to investigate
new allegations of major unemployment fraud under Tim Wall. So
this is happening with the US Department of Labor, and
they say that this is coming after reports of widespread fraud, waste,
(27:45):
and abuse in the state. And one other thing that
is happening is Representative Randy Fine has announced that he's
working on something, and that is to deport Elan Omar.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Well, I agree with the President one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Omar is a walking example of everything that is wrong
with our legal immigration policy. We imported tens of thousands
of people who hate America, add no value to it,
rob and steal from us, and we're supposed to be
okay with it. I don't think elon Omar should be
expelled from Congress. I think she should be expelled from
the United States, and that's something that I'm working on.
(28:22):
But what prompted me to take this position is she
decided to send around fundraising emails saying I should be
expelled from Congress.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Well, if that's her view, she should go for it.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
And so what I've said is if I'm going to
try to expel her, it won't be in a fundraising email.
She'll deal with it on the floor of the US
House of Representatives.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Okay, that to me sounds like he's not doing it
for the country, He's doing it because of himself.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah. Absolutely, he wants to show how tough he is
and everything here. So yeah, I mean, I don't think
it's reasonable and we want to be you know, deporting
sitting members of Congress, no matter how awful they are.
But look shocking. I mean, Eleanor Omar has shown us
since she's been in Congress how much she hates America,
how much she has no use for this country whatsoever,
(29:07):
and has been out there making excuses for all of
the fraud that's been taking place in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Well, at one point she tried to become the victim
of it, saying that, oh, they were suffering as well.
By the way, Tim Wallas has appointed a new Anti
Frauds Are.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
That's awesome afterwards, that's like.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
How do you think that's gonna work out?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
And Anti frauds Are after you've had all of this
massive fraud, that's a great idea. Tim might have been
awesome for something five years ago before this started.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
So there's a place here in Indianapolis that says, maybe
you're not sexy enough, you don't know how to act,
you don't know me.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Maybe I'm just as sexy as I'm supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
We'll talk about it coming up. It is the Kennelly
Casey Show. It's ninety three WIBC. Do you know how
to conduct yourself in a grown and sexy manner?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Oh good question. I definitely can conduct myself in a
sexy manner. I don't know about the grown part, but
I mean, come on, look at me here, I'm doing
it right now.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Are you yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Are you sure?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Are you? Are you? Though you're kiss You could judge
for yourself. Kendlely case he into the YouTube search bar.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
I can definitely conduct myself in a sexy manner. Grown
up manner, that's another question.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
It's debatable. The Georgia Street Lounge in Indianapolis is setting
new age rules. Their new policy is that the nightclub
is only going to allow guests that are thirty and older.
Staff and marketing teams and special guests may still be
admitted if they're under thirty, but no events for anyone
under thirty will be hosted. The management stated that the
(30:48):
younger patrons do not know how to conduct themselves in
a grown and sexy environment.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
I just love that they threw that in at the
end there. I mean, I can understand your business. You
want to. You've had some lot of calls. The cops
have been called on your establishment.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Seven times in the last year.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Times yeah, a year. That doesn't seem like a lot.
But then you put out a statement, right, all right, everybody,
let's grow up, but keep it sexy, right, yeah, hey,
keep it sexy. Okay. So I'm on their website right now,
and they have this little image about a flyers. It's
ladies night Ladies half off wearing mesh fits. So if
(31:26):
you want half off, you got to have something mesh on.
Oh that does sound sexy. Apparently they at least they're
true to their brand everything about the Georgia Street Lounge.
They just want to keep it sexy.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
So between January first and December twenty first of this
past year, i AMPD filed seven reports for the nightclub's address.
In the last six months, they have three visits from
the police, two for disturbances and one for assaults. In
previous years, they've had multiple reports five and twenty four
and then six in twenty three. So they are trying
(32:00):
to step up their game and want their patrons to
step it up as well. Be grown, but also be
a little sexy.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Be sexy while you're being grown. That is all that
is my favorite business press release of the entire year.
Be a grown adult and be sexy.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
So the Chiefs have entered into a new agreement with
the state of Kansas to host the Chiefs football beginning
with the twenty thirty one NFL season. The team announced
that and everybody lost their mind thinking they were moving.
Well they are, but from one side of the river
(32:42):
to the other.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
The lack of geographic knowledge by the general population is stunning. Sometimes, Yes,
there is a Kansas City, Kansas, and there is a
Kansas City, Missouri. They are right next to each other,
separated by a nice little river. So they're literally moving
like fifteen miles across the river and that's it. But
of course everybody is losing their mind about this.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, so they're redesigning and building a new state of
the art Dome Stadium, and Arrowhead Stadium will no longer
be the home for the Chiefs following the twenty thirty season.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Which this is really interesting because we've spent the last
week talking about how the Chicago Bears are exploring Northwest
Indiana as an option for their new stadium. And to
you know, quote the people in Illinois when they heard
this news, I mean, they were acting like it was
the end of the world.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Direct quote. That is a quote I thought, don't know
if that was very sexy.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I think I saw that in the Chicago Tribune's website.
It was the state of Indiana. Quote said, So I
get that people are emotionally attached to their city, they're
emotionally attached to their state. But there's way too much money.
And look, there's this debate as to whether or not
we should be sending taxpayer dollars to help these billionaires
get a free stadium. But I'll leave you with this.
(33:58):
If you don't want to pay for your team stadium,
somebody else will. And that's exactly happened with the Chiefs
and Kansas.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Apparently Kansas offering better tax abatements than Missouri, why would
they move?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
And they're going to get the Chiefs in a new stadium.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
This is the Kendall and Casey Show. It's ninety three WIBC.
