Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, okay, let me get this straight.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
What so our government did a bunch of stuff that
harmed the farmers. Everybody said, hey, that's going to harm
the farmers. They did it anyway, and then their response
to that is make us as taxpayers bail out the farmers.
They wouldn't have needed to bail out if they hadn't
harmed the farmers.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Correct, Yeah, did.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I miss any of that?

Speaker 4 (00:23):
Everything's going so well that now we have a farm
Maide package.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
So I was trying to wait, wait, it's actually like,
in addition to what John Mellencamp and Willie Nelson do
every year, that's not the.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Farm Aid package.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
No, that was yes, No, totally different thing.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
This one is from Donald Like can you imagine John
Mellencamp and Donald Trump getting in on something together that's
never happened.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
But I wasn't trying to be facetious when I will
just laid out what happened. That is what happened, right,
Trump and the Republicans institute a bunch of policies that
harmed the farmers. But then instead of saying, well about
so sad, we've harmed the American people too, and we're
not giving them anything. They said, Well, you've got a
very strong voting block and lobbying groups.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
So here's twelve billion dollars. I did again miss any
part of that.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Yeah, the farmers have faced some financial strain. Do see
the tariffs. Hi, welcome to the party, especially on soybeans.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Let me introduce you to life for everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
But because it's the farmers, and God bless the farmers,
I'm making this commentary as a collective thing about how
bad the policies are. I guess if you're in the
right industry, you get twelve billion.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
So Donald Trump he announced a twelve billion dollar farm
maide package yesterday that is to help US farmers affected
by rising costs in tariffs on China. Eleven billion for
raw crop farmers, one billion reserved for specialty crops. PO
comments are expected to end February twenty twenty six.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
OKA.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
And again, God bless our farmers. They shouldn't had to
endure it to begin with.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
But we also as regular people shouldn't have had to
endure any of this.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Where's our bailout?

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Well, you've been told you're getting a tariff check, but
then I told I'm not getting a.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Ter now so you know, I don't know. I don't
know when or if that's going to come.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
So if you're one of these people who's always mad
at me for pointing out the obvious, why is this okay?
Why is it all right that I, as a taxpayer
have to take Well, there'll be printed money because we
have no money. Well, why is it okay that we
have to print money which will make everything more expensive
for us living now, and then future generations will have

(02:31):
to pay that back? And this is happening. They've acknowledged it.
I mean, they don't say it exactly like this, but
they're acknowledging it. It is because of the policies they
put in place. If you replaced Trump with Biden and
this was the policy, people on our side of the
aisle would be outraged by this.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
They would be livid about this.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Trump has also directed the DOJ and FCC to investigate
anti competitive behavior in the food supply chain, including meat, seed, fertilized,
and equipment sectors.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
One other thing that he said.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Was that he was going to remove the environmental restrictions
off of farm equipment.

Speaker 6 (03:10):
And I think it's very important. We're going to also
give the tractor companies John Deere and all of the
companies that make the equipment. We're going to take off
a lot of the environmental restrictions that they have on machinery.
It's ridiculous, I know, because I buy a lot of
that machinery for different things. We have a lot of
big clubs with you know, hundreds thousands of acres, and

(03:31):
I buy a lot of stuff. And if you buy it,
it's got so much equipment on it for the environmental
it doesn't do anything except it makes the equipment much
more expensive and much more complicated to work, and it's.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Not as good as the old days.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
And we're going to take a lot of that nonsense
off of the equipment, which is going to reduce and
we're going to do it. And we're going to say
you're going to reduce the prices.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
We're not going to do it. And they're not going
to reduce.

Speaker 6 (03:56):
They're going to have to reduce their prices.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Telling them what they can charge sounds very socially, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Socialism? Y m h. Point of all this is okay.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
So also, remember when they're talking about bailing out the
farm quote unquote the farmers, they're not they want you
to perceive that it's your guy down the street, who's
you know, got a nice corn crop. The majority of
farming in this country, and much of the farming in
this country is now just simply mega corporations. And we
have we have destroyed we I say we, our government

(04:31):
society has destroyed much of our family farms one because
the government comes in. Tell me if this sounds familiar.
The government comes in and strong arms them out of
their land, buys it at a super premium, and tells
them we'll beat you in court if you don't sell
it to us, and then they give it away to
mega corporations to build large headquarters or facilities. Does that

(04:52):
sound like anybody around here?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
What is there someplace specific anything you're thinking of?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Oh, the Leaf district? Yes, yes, like we just did
right here. But we also we tax our farmers into oblivion.
Look at the property tax and what a mess that is,
and we do absolutely nothing for them with that. So
more and more local people are getting out of the
farming business, and naturally their inclination is sell it to
the land of the highest bidder. Hard to blame them
for doing that, because they're going to move on and
move out, and so our farm land and our local

(05:19):
farmers just simply go away. So when he's talking about
bailing out the farmers, he's talking about par for the
course in this country, we're going to be bailing out
mega corporations.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well, I have an idea.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
What you could do is redistrict the maps here in
Indiana and then dilute the representation in the rural communities.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yes, it's all brilliant, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
By the way, I am hoping beyond hope that it
ends in a look, because here's the reality of this
redistricting thing. It ain't going to affect me one way
or another because the government's going to be bad no
matter what it is. Now, I'm believing in supporting the
bailing out the Republicans for bad governance. But the governments
are gonna get any better whether the Jennifer Ruthe Green

(06:00):
Election Act passes or not. But what I want to
see happen. And by the way, our station will probably
make a jillion dollars if it does pass.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
We've talked about this.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Right, you should be on board with this idea. Yeah,
for that reason alone.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
This is how principled I am. Casey I'm lobbying against myself.
This is how deep my principles run that I'm basically
lobbying against fun.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Yes, So we've talked about this with Marian County. With
the new maps that they're proposing, will be divided up
into four different districts, so that means a lot of
different candidates spending money within this area.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, you'll have new primaries, new people running new districts.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Will make it. Not us person, but are the company
we work for.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
All the media companies in Indian out just tell you
I stand to make more money.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, And that's how principled.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
You want to talk about conviction, And actually it says
a lot about our ownership group that never once they
have been like, hey, that would really help us.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
You guys better keep it on.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
The keep it on the down, or saying that's how
principled we are on this and how patially we feel
about it. But here's what I want to have happened,
because my life going and get any better or any worse,
whether the Jennifer Ruth Green Election Act passes or not.
I wanted to end twenty five twenty five and I
want Micah Beck with who is in name only. Of
course he's not in charge of anything, but in name
only is the head of agriculture in the state of Indiana.

(07:15):
I want him to skip up there and with a
big grin on his face, press that button that is
going to totally dilute and belittle the representation of farmers
and people in rural America that he is supposed to
be in their serving and helping. I want him to
cast the tie breaking vote on that. That's what I
want to see.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
I seem like a bit of a conflict of interest
does in it?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Well, totally is in Jacob Stewart, by the way, you
don't take my word for it, friend of the show,
Jacob Stewart, columnist Indie Star totally laid out how this
redistricting is going to hurt rural America and our farmers
and want that's how I want this to go down.
I want a twenty five twenty five tie and I
want to see Micah Beck with the head of ag
in Indiana, stick it to the farmers.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
Susie Wiles, who is the chief of staff for Donald Trump,
she has said that he will be a turnout. Ma
Sheen for the twenty six midterms, and that she is
going to put him on the road and campaign for everybody.

Speaker 7 (08:07):
He's going to have a fun next year, but we're
going to put him on the campaign trail too.

Speaker 8 (08:11):
Typically, just a little bit of campaign speak if I may.

Speaker 7 (08:14):
Yeah, typically, you in the midterms, it's not about who's
sitting at the White House.

Speaker 8 (08:20):
It's you localize the election, you and you keep the
federal officials out of it. We're actually going to turn
that on its head good and put him on the
ballot because so many of those low propensity voters are
Trump voters.

Speaker 9 (08:33):
Yes they are.

Speaker 7 (08:34):
And we saw a week Ald go Tuesday what happens
when he's not on the ballot and not active.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
So I haven't quite broken it to him.

Speaker 7 (08:42):
Yet, but he's going to campaign like it's twenty twenty
four again for all these people that he helps. He
doesn't help everybody, but for those he does, he's a
difference maker and he's certainly a turnout machine.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
So pretty much what she's saying there is Trump is
more popular than your congressional Republicans.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, there's no doubt the Republicans are ass. Their brand
is ass. People hate the Republicans. Okay, I mean I
guess I would ask her you did that in twenty eighteen?
How to go, Casey? How did the House of Representatives
work out with Trump?

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Because he went everywhere?

Speaker 2 (09:15):
I went to an event where Trump was the big keynote, right,
he was out there everywhere.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
People are.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
If Trump's name is not on the ballot, people are
not going to vote. It doesn't matter whether he tells
people to vote or not. People hate the Republicans because
the Republicans don't follow through on their promises. Now, somehow
Trump insulates himself from not falling through on promises, which
is amazing, but it's neither here nor there.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
It is what it is.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
But the Republicans will once again get blamed for not
delivering on the key issue unless they've somehow managed to
fix it between now next November, which is the inflation
and the affordability of living. They haven't done anything with that.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Okay, So we've talked a lot about data centers on
this show. There's a new frontier when it comes to
data center.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
No kidding, Yeah, that sounds uplifting.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
We'll talk about it coming up. It's Kennelly Casey on
ninety three WYBC.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
It's up to this connect.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Oh, we're having to.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Stand down, Chamings joining me, like the whole segment.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Do we do that?

Speaker 4 (10:40):
Well?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Doesn't cats do that?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Jackson Brown has one of those voices like you could
listen and read the phone book. Isn't it amazing how people,
just certain people in our populace, they get these incredible
gifts from God. And it's just like, I hope you
appreciate how lucky you are, right, voice of an angel. Yeah, anyway,
what are we doing? What's going on to Kenle and
Casey show.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
So you might have seen this story.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
It's based out of northern Indiana and it's in regards
to data centers and there was a heavy hitter in
Saint Joseph County. Larry garan Toni and he confirmed that
he had hired a political strategy firm to help in
the effort to bring data center projects to areas of
northern Indiana. I don't know if you saw the one

(11:25):
that's being built in New Carlisle.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, old pal Indie Yeah, Indie reporter at Indie Underscore
Order Underscore. Everyone followed the Indie Reporter account if you're
interested in Indiana politics and government on Twitter. He drove
past that and did a real time. I think he's
got family up there, and so he went back there
recently and he videoed that thing from the road as

(11:47):
he was driving past it. And I mean, when we
talk about how what dystopian monstrosities these things are, that
that will go go to that account in the Indian
Report on Twitter and check it out, because wow, are
those things ugly, bleak and bland.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, and really really big.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
I believe it's today in Saint Joe County, the county
council is expected to vote on rezoning for another one
and they have already rezoned in Granger, where I used
to live. That makes me so sad because I know
exactly where they're trying to put a new data center
up there.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Well, and you touched on starting the segment that this
guy is hiring this PR firm or marketing firm or whatever.
And we've been saying this well over a year now
in this program. These people are not going to stop.
There's too much money for them to be made. And
the problem is the politicians who should be stopping them.

(12:47):
Many of those guys, the donations whatever, I'm not saying
it's this way in every case. Sometimes they just buy
the bull crap. Are totally on board. We're trying to
make these things happen. It has to stop at the
legislative level. And not only is it not stopping, they're
passing these bills that are making it harder and harder

(13:08):
for people to stop these things. And look, it's just
simple math. If we are already running short on electricity,
if we're already running short on power, and you keep
throwing these things out into the society that requires so
much power, you're eventually going to run out of power.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
Like.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's not I'm not.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Trying to be over the top or facetious. It's a
simple math equation.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
So data center energy, the demand is skyrocketing. US data
centers consume about four percent of electricity in twenty twenty three.
It's projected to reach about twelve percent by twenty twenty eight.
Google's data center electricity usage more than doubled from twenty
twenty to twenty twenty five. But there is a new

(13:51):
frontier in regards to data centers. I'm not talking about
northern Indiana. Guess where we're.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Going now, Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
The CEO of Google has announced plans to build a
space based AI data center. This is going to be
powered by solar energy and it's part of Project Sun Catcher.
Their goal is to use the Sun's energy, which is
one hundred trillion times more than the Earth produces, and
they want to use that power to fund to produce

(14:28):
the energy required by AI computers. They say that if
we have the data centers in space, it will be
more sustainable.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Who regulates that.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Doesn't this sound like it's straight out of some sort
of like James Bond villain plot where they're going to
just capture the sun bring in the lasers. Yeah, it does,
doesn't it? Like I mean, this is this is crazy.
And again I told you about that book. My wife
is reading on AI, and my wife does this thing

(15:00):
where she reads faster if she reads out loud, so
I just get to hear all.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Of it, and I am just catching.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Little pieces of an event.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
I have no idea what ninety percent of it is,
but she's reading this book out loud. And one of
the things you kind of realize in this book is
AI will eventually take over everything, because not if. He's
not a question of if right, it's when and how
and how fast. And one of the things that she

(15:29):
has said about AI, and she said this for multiple
years now, is AI is still relatively dumb. Once AI
get smart, it's over. Like it's it's over. And there
will be select groups of people like her, for example,
which is why she's trying to up her skill set
on this, who will understand how to operate it and

(15:49):
control it, and those people will be in demand with
that skill set, and then you will have for lack
of a better term, laborers, people with skills like carpentry
or plumbing or whatever ever, who will still be in
demand and the rest of us done.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
So.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yeah, So here are the implications of a solar powered
space data center could become the new standard for AI
computing within the next decade. Here's the CEO of Google
talking about this.

Speaker 5 (16:20):
I mean over time. At Google, we're always proud of
taking moon shots you mentioned way more earlier. You know,
that's been over a decade in the making. We're working
on quantum computing in that spirit. One of our moon
shots is to how do we one day have data
centers in space so that we can better harness the
energy from the sun. You know that is one hundred
trillion times more energy than what we produce in all

(16:43):
of for today. So we want to put these data
centers in space closer to the Sun, and I think
we are taking our first step in twenty seven. We'll
send tiny, tiny racks of machines and have them in satellites,
test them out, and start scaling from there. But there's
no doubt to me that a decade or sobby we'll

(17:05):
be viewing it as a more normal way to build
data centers.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
So did you catch that he said? Construction will begin
in twenty twenty seven for two pilot satellites in partnership
with a company named Planet. Now they're not the only one.
There's this other company called star Cloud. They're also exploring
extraterrestrial AI data centers. And the CEO from Google's not

(17:31):
the only one. Here's Jeff Bezos. You know Jeff Bezos, Amazon,
that guy. He's talking about it too.

Speaker 10 (17:38):
One of the things that's going to happen in the
next it's hard to know exactly when it's ten plus years,
but I bet it's not more than twenty years. We're
going to start building these giant gigawatt data centers in space,
so these giant training clusters, those will be better built
in space because we have solar power there twenty four
to seven and it's and the sore power there is there.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Are no clouds and no rain, no weather.

Speaker 10 (18:06):
So you can build will be it will We will
be able to beat the cost of terrestrial data centers
in space in the next couple of decades.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
So you got to wonder, does that mean that Space
Force is going to start getting.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
A bigger budget.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Well, what's fascinating in this book that she's reading, because
it touches on a whole bunch of different things with
AI is one of the things that it deals with
is for people in her field, are the ethics associated
with AI, and so it talks about the future of
what an ethical behavior with AI may look like. And
one of the things you realize in this book is

(18:45):
that two things. One, within the next decade, AI is
going to get so good that the amount of havoc
it will be able to into society of what's real
and what's not. It's going to create real paranoia in
terms of people actually keeping track of everything they're doing,

(19:08):
which that data will then get harvested somewhere. Right, But
because people are going to become potentially so paranoid over
the ability of deep fakes to get so good that
they can put you anywhere doing anything, and some of
it will still be ridiculous. Chrst is right, like Elvis
is not playing the super Bowl right, or mister Rogers.
I see the one with mister Rogers as a pro wrestler.

(19:30):
Clearly not true, right, the guy's deceased. But there will
be You will be able to create these images that
are so realistic that you will not be able to
disseminate what's real and what's not, and people will have to.
Essentially the end result it will be people will have
to just twenty four seven be tracked on what they're doing.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Oh yeah, yikes.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Well, I mean that that plays into a whole conversation
of alibis right this time.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
And the other part of this is when we come
back to the idea of the workers. We asked our
boss David would about this a while ago, because the
radio industry is now getting heavily into AI and we said,
should we just pack our bags? And he kind of
laughed and he goes, now, you guys are good for
probably about ten years. So you think about how even
our industry, an industry like this where it's literally depends

(20:18):
on human to human interaction, which is it's a talk show.
We talk back and forth to each other in some shape,
form or fashion. They're anticipating within ten years that will
even be taken over there.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
Well, I know that there is a media company who
already has AI disc jockeys.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Now it's music rate right, but oh boy, fingers crossed.
They don't get sentient right.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
So anyway, we're all done. Just enjoy the ride. It's
all over for everyone.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Hey, his centers in Space. You're listening to Kendall and Casey.
It's ninety three WIBC.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
I love this song.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
You know, we totally missed it.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yesterday was the forty fifth anniversary of John Lennon's assassination.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
It was.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
I mean, that was a huge faux paul on our
part of the show, because that is a monumental event
in American history, like one of those ones where people
remember where they were.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
They were watching football, yeah right.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
I mean when it when it happened, and where they
heard the news.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
It's like I will remember where they were when Obviously
Kennedy I'm not saying Lennon was the importance of Kennedy assassination,
but also elvis Or. You know, there's just certain people
that died unexpectedly that were you know, transformative figures. You
remember where they were or where you were when they
announced their passing.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
Well, I think the one of the things that sticks
with many people is because it was Howard Cosell, wasn't
it Howard?

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (21:48):
It was Monday, Monday Night from Monday Night football, And
so you were taking this announcer who was that wasn't
his typical element?

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah? No, speak on something and I saw that yesterday.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
And obviously Pearl Harbor Day, which is more important, not
to in any way underscore the assassination and importance of
the assassination of John Lennon. But but yeah, I mean
we should have mentioned that.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Then I'll take the blame for that. It's my fault,
even though you do the template.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Yeah, I totally missed that one. My bad. So now
you know what, you take the blame.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
That's fine. It's all your fault.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Everything's always your fault.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
That's right. Get in line, like I told that lady yesterday.
Get in line and the line is along, Well.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
That's on you.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
So the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy he's not considering installing
fitness equipment like pull up bars in different airports nationwide.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
This is what, Yeah, pull up bars? You do a
pull up? He's thinking about putting.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
Them in airports why, among some other additions like play
areas for children, because he wants to make the travel
process healthier and more enjoyable.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Oh so, like some guys itching to get to the
bar to throw back a few cold ones before his
cross country flight, and he's going to stop do some
pull ups, and that's going to offset all the booze
that he injects into himself.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
The initiative is called make Travel Family Friendly Again, and
it's to improve airport amenities. They're getting one billion dollars
in congressional grants.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Where does this money come from?

Speaker 3 (23:25):
For airports nationwide?

Speaker 4 (23:27):
The goals are to expand play areas for kids at
nursing pods for breastfeeding mothers, and also create workout areas
for light exercise like pull ups and step ups.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Okay, so let's let's listen to Sean Duffy really quick
about this announcement.

Speaker 11 (23:43):
Pretty wide open on what airports want to ask ask
for a grant, but it might be I want to
expand the play areas for kids. I want additional nursing
pods for nursing mothers. Maybe I want to work out
area where people might get blood flowing doing some pull
ups or some step ups in the airport. But it

(24:04):
could be any range of things. Maybe you want to
work I know this is TSA, but we're going to
help on this as well. Maybe you want to have
a different lane for families to get through TSA. How
can we make the experience better as you come through
an airport?

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Okay, so we're thirty eight trillion in debt, Inflation is
through the roof, everything's unaffordable, and our government is going
to spend a billion dollars on jungle gyms in the airports.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
I think that they should actually look to McDonald's for
this venture because talk to me about the play areas there.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
Those have gone away. Yeah, why because they're germ factories.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
And places for people to do pull ups.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
So you imagine this.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
You're going on a trip, it's not even a work trip,
well maybe it is work trip, vacation trip, whatever, and
you're going to go get in the flying tube.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
You like to call it, right tube. It's already an
uncomfortable experience.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
That's rotten.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
It's something that most people do out of necessity or
what should run.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
And you're sitting next to a stranger who just did
twenty pull ups. Yeah, and it is a little sweaty,
a little stinky. Is that gonna make it better or
worse for you?

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah? Well I'm not getting on an airplane.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
So again, these are things other than the fact that
we're now going to spend a billion printed dollars which
will make things more expensive for me. This won't affect
me at all either way. But this is I mean,
this is somebody posted this the other day about you
can pooh poo all these expenses, but when you put
them all together, and this person did a great job
of like adding various things up. This is why we're

(25:40):
in the condition we're in in this country because whatever
it is, just a billion dollars a billion dollars, and
we act like it's nothing.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
So Sean Duffy, who on the most part, I think
is doing a fantastic job as Transportation Secretary, definitely an
improvement from Pete Buddha judge.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
But he was at Reagan.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
National Airport with Robert Kennedy and they did a pull
up contest.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Duffy did ten pull ups, Kennedy did twenty of s.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Of course he did. Did he doing with the shirt on?

Speaker 3 (26:10):
He did?

Speaker 4 (26:12):
He didn't have a shirt off for that. Uh so
you've got realature. Dot Com did a study and they
had the turnover rates in the fifty largest US metros
across the country.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Turnover.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
It's like people leaving, people leaving the cities.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Correct.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
They listed the top ten cities that people are moving
out of. Indianapolis came in at the third spot.

Speaker 9 (26:38):
Ohole list.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Let's save that for tomorrow because we got a guest
coming up. Guys, somebody's brought some fabulous merch and we
want to tell everybody about it when we come back.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
This is super interesting.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
You're listening to Kennelly Casey on ninety three WIBC.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Casey.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
You know, one of the most fascinating parts of this
whole redistricting debacle for me is all the people who
had an opinion mm hmm and then very quickly had
a different opinion.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Yeah, and it makes you wonder what was it that
changed their mind. For example, Jim Lucas, he was a
hard no and then he went to Washington d C.
Had a little tour of the White House, came back
and said, no, I've reconsidered.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah, And I think that's where it gets really frustrating,
because you say, all right, whatever your opinion is, that's
your opinion, and if it's well versed or whatever. Look
even to Andrew Ireland came on, well, I guess it's
our show and told admitted to you.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Well, I guess he admitted to me too.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
I guess he's been on multiple times and he just
straight up said, well, it's all politics. I don't care.
I get that, Okay, Right, we know there's no changing
your mind because you so hate Andre Carson. You're just
you don't care about anything other than getting rid of
Andre Carson.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Well, the one thing I could appreciate about Andrew Ireland
is he's been honest about it, and he's been saying
that from the start.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah, but these guys who flip, especially guys at Craig
Haggard State rebeen Mooresville. When he came on our show
and he tells you a definitive answer, then you change.
How do you deal with that? Those guys aren't honest? Brokers.
One of the guys who was in the flip club
to the fight club called the flip club. The first
rule about flip club is flip club is our old

(28:22):
pal JD. Prescott. And uh, this is twice now we've
had to deal with JD on the flip the flip
preuse because remember he screwed us on property taxes and uh,
here to talk a little bit about that.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
The arch and mortal enemy of State Representative JD. Prescott.
He's the host of the Political Spotlight Chris Bilbury.

Speaker 9 (28:39):
Hello, Hello, hell's it going all right?

Speaker 1 (28:41):
So why do you think it is these days?

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Let's take Prescott out of the equation for a second,
then we'll get into your Your long standing feud with JD.
Prescott is just fabulous. It's the stuffle. Legends are made up.
Why do you think so many of these guys make
definitive statements and then look like complete idiots when they flip.

Speaker 9 (28:57):
I can't I cannot figure that out because the issue
is they do it every time and nothing changes. And
I just think that they don't care. It does not
matter what they tell us, because it doesn't matter. They're
going to be protected as long as they do what
the establishment wants. They're going to be protected.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
So why do they say anything that is what that?

Speaker 9 (29:18):
Because I think that they hope that they're going to
win a couple people over and then maybe nobody will
pay attention, or or people won't follow enough, or people
will forget. I think that's what happens.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
All right, So let's talk about j D.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Prescott for a second, because you've brought us something that
is just amazing and I want to discuss it here
in a moment. This may be my favorite thing I've
ever been given on this radio program case and we'll
talk about it here in a second.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
So Prescott, is he your rep?

Speaker 4 (29:44):
He was?

Speaker 2 (29:44):
What's your deal with the state representative? Jad Prescott? SOEs
you guys loathe each other? What's the deal? Who hurt
who fish?

Speaker 9 (29:51):
I was born and raised in Munsey, Indiana, which is
where I live is thirty four District thirty four, but
I lived and win Chester Randolph County for ten years
and I actually helped JD during his first campaign.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Oh, you were friends at one point.

Speaker 9 (30:08):
I would never say friends necessarily. I just was more
in favor of him than the person that was running.
And I always looked at JD as somebody that was
better than the alternative at the time, but somebody that
I would not support later on down the road.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
So like he was the lesser of two evils, right, okay,
and then he became the worst of two evils.

Speaker 9 (30:28):
Always y, yes, very absolutely okay.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
So what is his deal? Because this is twice now
we had it, and you, to your fairness, you warned
us about him.

Speaker 9 (30:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
You were like, don't be friends with him, don't say
anything nice to him, don't buddy up with him. And
we were like, no, he seems like a really earnest guy.
We're gonna give him a shot, remember case. We were like, oh, well,
give him a chance. And he straight up lied to
us about property taxes. He came on the show, said
I was for changing the system. We're going to fix
the system. He was trying to get rid of property taxes,

(30:58):
came to our rally and spoke, and then he voted
for this abomination of a property tax bill.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
And then he was like, I didn't lie about anything.
What's this guy's deal.

Speaker 9 (31:09):
I don't know. I think what's what's really amazing is
knowing JD. In his statement, he says the political rules
of engagement shifted. And that's just so laughable to me
because that's not a phraser statement that JD would say, Like,
that's definitely something that someone told him to say. That's
just not JD Prescott.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
So things like oh, what was the quote the rule.

Speaker 9 (31:30):
The political rules of engagement shifted?

Speaker 1 (31:32):
This is on this on the redistrict thing.

Speaker 9 (31:34):
Yeah, he stated that on his statement from November nineteen.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Sounds like something a normal person would say, casey, well,
the political rules of engagement have shifted.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
My question is on this whole thing.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Most people make a decision with the information they have
in the moment, and then when new information becomes available,
that's when they can change their mind. I mean, don't
you think that that's a possibility that these people have
gotten new information. We don't know what it is, but
they've gotten new information which has swayed them in a

(32:05):
different direction.

Speaker 9 (32:06):
Sure, that's very good possibility that that happened. But why
don't we know what that is? Why aren't they telling
us what this is? From the hearings yesterday, Gaskell, Senator
Gaskell stated that he had seen these maps a week
before the author of the bill did, so there's definitely
information out there that we don't know. That's my problem.

(32:26):
Why don't we know it? They need to be telling
us what this is. If it's going to be strong
enough information for them to change their minds, what is it?

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah, Chris Bilbery from the Political Spotlight is our guest,
and you make a good point because this is exactly
what we went through the property taxes.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Casey.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
There's a bill, there's a bill, there's a thing, everybody's
working on this thing, and then a couple weeks before,
after all of these months, this new thing that nobody saw.
Oh now it's the bill. Yeah, and how do you,
as a member of the public judge any of it?

Speaker 1 (32:58):
And then you.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Couple it with there's three senators on that committee who
we still don't know what their opinion is. That's amazing
to me, those three who were like, well, we'll just
vote this to let everybody have a vote, but what
is your opinion? Well you'll find out Thursday. That's the thing, Chris,
is that it's the total lack of transparency from these guys.

Speaker 9 (33:18):
Yeah. Absolutely, it's it's ridiculous and citizens need to demand better.
I don't know when that's going to be. I think
we're close, but I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
All right, So you have come bearing gifts.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Now, this may be the greatest thing I've ever received
on this radio show.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Casey wow, I find that offensive. I gave you a
rustling body.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Well, that's true, you did. Now I'm going to describe
this to people now.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
So Jad Prescott is that he's from for lack of
better to me, he's from Winchester, Indiana. Right, Yeah, where
is Winchester, Indiana?

Speaker 9 (33:56):
Winchester, Indiana is an hour and ten minutes north a
north northeast of here. It's the county seat of Randolph County.
It's it's the I would say, the main city in
his district, in District thirty three.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Okay, So you you came up with a bunch of
derogatory names for JD. Prescott and you started posting them
on social media. Some of them we can't we can't
repeat on this family oriented program.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
But one of them I saw was the worm of Winchester.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Yeah, And I messaged you and I said, that is
the most amazing name I've ever heard. You need to
put that on a T shirt. And you, Chris Bilbery,
have come up with a shirt in which JD. Prescott's
oversized head is on the body of a worm, and
it is being presented to me today to wear on

(34:52):
this award winning program.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yep, this is fabulous.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Now I'm gonna hold this up and maybe you can
take a picture it over to me. We'll put it
up at Robin Kendall. I'll wear this tomorrow on the
program in honor of j D. Prescott State Representative Winchester
being a complete and utter backstabbing, dishonest worm.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
We will wear this on tomorrow's program.

Speaker 9 (35:17):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
You know what, while we have him here, can I
ask a question?

Speaker 1 (35:20):
This is kind of a fall Le'll tap your show.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
I'm wondering, do we know what the latest is on
the Union Schools suing Governor Braun over the force school closures.
I remember I bring that up because that involved JD. Prescott.

Speaker 9 (35:33):
Oh yeah, and it's got a lot of people fired
up in the area for against both JD and Senator
Scott Alexander. I just checked with someone on that the
other day. They are attempting to get a court date
at this time. The last big thing happened was a

(35:53):
win for the people fighting suing JD and the governor,
and that was that basically it was so convoluted the
bill how it was worded, it would not have allowed
them to spend money this school year. And so they
went into that hearing several months ago and the judge
basically said, this is very hard to determine what's right here,

(36:17):
and he ruled in their favor on one of the
big asks that they were asking at the time. And
now we're just kind of in a hurry up and wait. Okay,
so they feel confident, so it is still an ant Oh, yes,
very very much. So all right, well, thanks for that, Chris.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
Bill Breathe the Political Spotlight. That's the name of the
show on YouTube.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
And the great T shirt is the Worm of Winchester. JD.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Prescott for lying to humanity and stabbing everyone in the back,
not once but twice.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Thank you, Oby, thank.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
You, and that's going to do it for us today.
Thank you, Rob, thank you, Kevin, and thank you for listening.
This has been Kendall and Casey on ninety three WIBC
