Yes, wish TV meteorologists correct, good to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Okay, Monday, She goes.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
We've got seventy four degrees in the American Standard Cooling
Weather Center at the time, it's seven oh nine. WIBC
(03:31):
dot com has the story Jake McDaniel reporting five shot
on the northeast side.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
This is Indianapolis. This is our city.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Oh you don't live in Indianapolis. You don't get to talk.
Oh shut up, you have fools. You've had enough time
to try and fix the city. You can't do it.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You're not smart enough, you're not bright enough, you're not
willing enough, you're not capable enough. Or you're just implementing
the wrong strategies because you elect the wrong people.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Right. Could be your plenty smart and plenty decent.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Some people know the people who are trolls on social
media and want to scream you you don't live in India,
you don't get to say, of course we do. And
since you can't stop us, you know, don't care if
you're happy. But for the people who want a better Indianapolis,
well there's a problem here. There's a problem culturally, as
we have discussed numerous times.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
And there's a problem with the leadership.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Deer Run subdivision off East thirty eight between North County
Line and North German Church Road. Officers finding one of
the victims at the scene awake and breathing, and then
sometime after the shooting, before the victims went to hospitals
on their own, what's happening. Not everything is the fault
(04:52):
of police, and not everything is the fault of elected officials.
Please don't get me wrong, even the ones I find
to be deplorable. But it is clear and it is
obvious that when there is no willingness to address these
things honestly and with focus, you will get more of them.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I don't think that that Chief Baily of the IMPD
is doing himself any.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Favors with these videos.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But I did think he did himself a tremendous favor
when he spoke honestly about the cultural things that are
affecting Indianapolis. He said that on this very show. You
can find that interview at WIBC dot com. We have
a problem that isn't going away, and we have a
leadership that doesn't want to address it. And until they do,
(05:42):
we'll keep seeing these issues. And I'm not saying we
won't see it afterwards, but without addressing it, addressing cultural,
addressing other parts of this, you got nothing. You got
no shot and no chance. Tony Katz, ninety three, WIBC,
Good Morning. The Popcorn Moments brought to you by boer
Re Modeling. Tony Katz, ninety three, WIBC, Good Morning. I
(06:03):
should really do it with more fanfare, the popcorn moment.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It's a story you need to hear to believe, and
then grab your popcorn because there is more.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Okay, you should sit down for this. You should hear this,
and then you should tell me what the heck this is.
We sent a question, hey, Diego Morales, he is the
Secretary of State, and we said we would like to
(06:41):
do an interview.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Now we should be clear.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I am very very focused about Diego Morales for well
over a year anytime.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
We bring him up. I've been playing this.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
The Secretary of State, Diego Morales hired his brother in law.
Comedians in the dictionary know what you'll find, I'm sure
me No, the definition of the word idiot, which you are.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
God, Karen, you are so stupid. What are your qualifications?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Take his qualifications and then shove them somewhere.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Who hires their brother in law? That is they've ever heard?
My line is.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
It's just absolutely nutty. It smacks of corruption, it smacks
of everything we wouldn't want the Republican Party doing. And
the idea that when asked about it, who I think
it was Ed Delaney who was asking him about it,
Democrat from Indianapolis. The answer from Diego Morales was we
(07:48):
hire the best of the best of the best.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
There's not an answer.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
It was never an answer, and his staff has to
know that that's not an answer, and that's very embarrassing.
I feel the same way about Joe hogg Seats staff
as I do about Diego Morales's staff. At some moment
you realize this is not a good place to be,
don't you don't you?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Well?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
This then, of course, became a subject of this trip
to India, this trip here and there?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
And who's paying for these trips?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Are the taxpayers paying for the Secretary of State of
Indiana to go visit these countries? And is he having
official visits with them? I mean, who is he to
have official visits? Is this something that the Secretary of
State does or is he trying to make himself look
like more than he is?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
And is this being paid for by the taxpayer?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That is such a legitimate question that to not answer
the question is laughable. To not answer the question for
taxpayers of who's paying for this trip is ridiculous, It
is embarrassing, and it is shameful. It's shameful for Diego Morales,
the Secretary of State. It's shameful for his staff that
(09:02):
knows that it is such a baseline, basic question, a
basic concept who paid for the trip?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
To not answer it, while it certainly does not prove
in a.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Court of law guilt, it does in the court of
a public opinion prove guilt absolutely. If you were to
ask people, they would think that Diego Morales is up
to shady stuff without proof. By the way, because he
never answered the question, the question, which is so basic
and so simple for a Republican or for a Democrat,
(09:37):
conservative or a liberal, a moderate or an independent, for
any Hoosier, this is a baseline question.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
To not answer it. Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Not only does it make you look in the court
of public opinion like a guilty person, like you did
something improper, it's a way of explaining to people how
much you hate them, how much you disregard them, how
above them you think you are.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And that is very obvious, I believe.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
From the actions of Diego Morales, and somehow his staff stays.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
This brings us to something that took place the other
day in the reporter here with the with the video.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
This happened Diego Morales speaking to the Motor Vehicle Advisory Board.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
You know, one of the things.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
That we're going to try to do right now is
to share with you the hard work that the Morales
administration has been doing since I took office, because the
fake news will never share that, the fake WOBC, the
fake in the Star, they will never So.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
First, since when does the Secretary of State refer to
it as their administration, the Morales administration.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That's very odd.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And when he was on these nations, these country visits,
did he represent himself as the Morales administration. Is there
an issue there? I don't know what he did. Heck,
we don't know who paid for the trip, but very odd. Again, egomaniacal. Again,
(11:15):
Look how more important I am than you? Look how
special I am. What Diego Morales is trying to do
is trying to Trump himself. He's trying to be Trump,
and then when talking about IBC, he's trying to engage
in Trumps. And again, the problem is it doesn't work
because Diego Morales is not Donald Trump and he never
will be. He doesn't come close. Fake news is when
(11:38):
they lie about you. It is not fake news when
they ask who paid for the trip? But Diego Morales
knows this and his team knows this, except his team
doesn't want to admit to it, Which brings us to
Lindsay Eaton, the comms director for the Indiana Secretary of State,
whom we emailed and we said, hey, we would like
(12:03):
to interview Secretary of State Digga Morales regarding his statement
about WIBC, And we sent the link that out of
the video I just shared with you.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Please let me know how we can coordinate.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
It came from producer Carl The response was, Hi, Carl,
this is from Lindsay Eaton, the comms director. Hi Carl,
we respectfully decline your interview request on this topic. Your
station and those who work there have previously chosen the
platform unfounded and frankly ridiculous allegations about Secretary of Morales
(12:38):
and actual or imagined associates.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Now, this has to do with tickets.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
To a basketball game, and Morales was there, and Lieutenant
Governor Michael Beck was with what was there and where
did those tickets come from? And this guy and in
his history and his issues. I haven't done that story.
Rob and and Casey have done that story. I have
not done that story. So because of that, they're declining
(13:09):
an interview. Although they call the allegations unfounded and ridiculous,
but they don't state why.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Lindsay Eaton does not state Wine in the email.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
She then responds continues with quote with a redaction and
apology given after spreading falls in an accurate information on
your station about one of those associates. Given the manner
of that coverage, we will not participate in interviews with
your outlet at this time. Now, I think she meant
without a redaction and an apology. However, she has not
(13:41):
indicated what requires redaction or what requires apology. We don't
know what she is saying requires redaction and apology. What
I can tell you is that she is talking about
a show and not the station.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
That seems obvious at this point. It's obvious she's talking
about Kendall in Casey.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
She's not talking about me, and she's not talking about
the WIBC newsroom.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
She continues.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
By common definition, fake news is the presentation of false, uninformed, incomplete,
or selective information as complete objective news reporting or journalism.
In our opinion, time and again, time and time again,
your outlet's news reporting consists of unsubstantiated, secondhand information unbolstered
by reasonable due diligence, writes Lindsay Eaton, Secretary Communications Director
(14:35):
for Secretary of State Morales. She continues, quote listeners are
likely to be misled by negligent, obtained, uninformed, or even
malinformed information and subjective opinion presented as complete and factual news.
We do not intend to enable or collaborate in such practices. Now,
a couple things here. First, I'm pretty sure the second
(14:59):
half of that email is by AI. That's my take,
doesn't seem to be a way people talk. Secondly, I
would remind Lindsay Eaton, who once worked at Fox fifty nine,
that the news department of WIBC is different than the
commentary done in WIBC, and she is engaging right now
in a disparagement of the newsroom, which I think that
(15:20):
defamation is pretty awful. I don't know if it reaches
the point of actionable against the State of Indiana, but
I'm not a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
The newsroom has not engaged at all in.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Anything like this, and I have said many times that
what I do here is indeed commentary, not journalism that
is done by the newsroom. It is a different function.
But you know that, Lindsay. You know it, and we
all know it. You also have not provided what is
(15:58):
indeed false. You have not shared that you have made
an allegation with no backup none. Can I ask what
credibility you think you have in this conversation, Lindsey, I
gotta get to commercial here.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
But allow me. We asked a legitimate question.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Diego Morales engaged in what is clearly false, and me
asking the question is not the problem. Your response is.
And if the secretary of State's office wants to start
a fight with me. They can, but look at yourselves.
What are you doing today on the marketplace? All right,
(16:45):
some mom is upset with some kids somewhere. Tony Katz
ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Good to be with you.
During downtime, I'm clearing my head. I'm getting ready for
what's next on the show. I find myself on Facebook
Marketplace and I'm scrolling through all this stuff, cool stuff,
odds up, weird stuff, strange stuff. The marketplace segment brought
to you by Indiana Unclaimed dot gov. It is your cash,
(17:08):
go get it. No, seriously, it's yours. It's that refund
you never got. It's a last paycheck you forgot about.
It's some dividend from a stock you don't even know
you owned. Well, it's waiting for you with the Attorney general.
So go to Indiana Unclaimed dot gov and get your
cash fast easy, free to use a text my name
Tony to four six two two zero. That's Tony to
(17:28):
four six two two zero and get your cash Indiana
Unclaimed dot gov. So the marketplaces, everything in capitalism is great,
and anything other than that simply doesn't work and is
awful like communism, socialism, democratic socialism. That's that's adorable. So
I love the marketplace and they have weird stuff. And
(17:49):
Matt Behar. You can find Matt Bear by the way
on the live stream. You know we're live streaming right,
Go to YouTube, go to ninety three WYBC and subscribing
to be in the chat room. You can do it
all right there, Matt is there. Look at that. He
is wearing a size medium T shirt today.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
This is a small, of course it is. I was
trying to make it better.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
No, thank you. Yeah, it feels good, man, it feels
it's a hot summer day.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
It's like a hug.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
It's like your shirts hugging me with love.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Shirt is giving you bicep hugs.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
I love you.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Do you like the Star Wars? There, Matt Bear? Love it,
love it the start. Do you like the Star Trek?
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Not really? No, okay, never got into the track, got
into the Wars.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
This is the listing Star War and Star Trek Collection,
not Star.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Wars Star War.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
There's only one more.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, as if it was singular. So what I've determined
here is that's all. It says, Star Wars and Star
Trek Collection and right. I think that's supposed to be
the enterprise. And there's comic books, and then there's a
T shirt, and there's a there's a forty five, a record.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
A forty five.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Just plays clips of William Shatner, right, and.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Star Trek the Next Generation Companion, and the Star Wars storybook,
and a whole bunch of things, the Star Trek Compendium.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
All these things you can buy.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
It used to be fifteen dollars, but now it's all
yours for eight bucks.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
And what I want to know is what mom out
there is selling their twenty seven year old's crap.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
It's the mom of a thirty five year old that's
trying to get them to move out of the house.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
You know, that's what's to do?
Speaker 7 (19:33):
What you sell all their stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I'm saying, I'm calling my shot. This stuff belongs to
somebody who lives in their mom's space.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Man, Yeah, he's on his way out. This is a
way to do it.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I mean, the stuff's cool.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
I mean you're pricing at seven.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
You know, I'm always completed about the prizes, but you
say seven dollars and I think I'm getting junk.
Speaker 9 (19:51):
Whoa whoa eight eight dollars. Oh, excuse me, fellas, sorry,
eight dollars. No, Now, it's okay. I mean that's fine.
Hey seven, it's too long. Now it's I mean it's cool.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
I just I mean, if you're a big time collector,
maybe I just don't. I mean, the final is even
like one of those that would fit on a kid's
record player, you know, like one of those Fisher Price
record players when you had with a kid.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It's not even like you got to pull up the
center thing and turn it's a lock some place.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Sure, that's that right next to the easy big oven.
This is cool stuff. But I just I don't need
more stuff in my apartment. I have a one bedroom apartment.
If somebody has a big home in a Star Wars room,
buy the hell out of this.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
It's gonna be if you have a Star Wars room.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
You have a Star Wars room. You got Star Wars jeepers.
So are you interne out for eight bucks?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'm out?
Speaker 7 (20:42):
Wow, yeah, so out.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
No. I don't want any of it.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Just because you think this is junk. You don't understand
the historical significance. Oh you don't have a childlike imagination.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
Don't accuse me that I have a huge childlike imagination,
and I saw the original Star Wars number four in
the movie theater when I was a little boy, right,
so I know Star Wars very much.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
And I just don't want to buy any of this.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
I mean, I would rather go to Comic Con or
jen Con and get stuff there.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
You know, Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to the seller here.
I don't mean the poopaul.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
I guess he's going to stay in his mom's basement.
It's a little while longer.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
With a twenty five cent record that fits on a
Fisher Place record player.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
It is all there on the marketplace.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
We have everything listed that we do from the marketplace
at WIBC dot com, presented by Indiana Unclaimed dot gov.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Take a look at it.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Tony Katz ninety three, WIBC good Morning Energy.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Should not need a substrate. With energy, you make money,
you don't lose money.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
But more important than that is it ruins the landscape.
It kills the birds, the noisy. You know, you have
a certain place in the Massachusetts area that over the
last twenty years had one or two whales Washashaw and
over the last short period of time they at eighteen okay,
(21:58):
because it's driving them a low. Oh, I'm driving them crazy. Now,
windmills will not come. It's not going to happen in
the United States.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Good because this windmill stuff is ridiculous. Tony Katz ninety
three WIBC, Good morning. That's President Trump speaking as he
was regarding the trade deal with the European Union and.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
The trade deal.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Like you, you are left wondering why the EU signed
this deal. Now I have made I have made the
argument that it's possible that some of these things, you know,
six hundred billion for investment in the United States, well
maybe that was going to come anyway. Seven hundred billion
for military hardware, well maybe that was going to come anyway.
And they're just folding into this deal to make it
(22:43):
look like a good deal. Maybe, but no tariff on
the vast majority of US goods going into the European
Union and fifteen percent tariff on EU goods coming to
the United States. I think this response is real of
my gosh, what was the EU thing thinking? And dear Lord,
how did Trump make this happen? It is this admission
(23:05):
that the trade war thing is working for Trump in
that you make a deal or things are going to
get very tough. He's totally willing to make it impossible.
So you get the best that you can and you
move on with your day. You hope for another president,
you hope for another deal, or you just accept the
level of new normals in all the host of things.
(23:26):
I stand by my statements tariffs. Tariffs are taxes. That's all.
Tariffs are taxes, plain and simple. It is what it is.
It hasn't changed at all. The tariffs have not yet
come to the people, and that's why things are working.
My concern is what happens when the tariff gets passed along.
(23:52):
That's a real, real issue. But I share with you
a story. What I want is economic success.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I want this. I don't need Trump to win. I
need us to have the win. And if.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Tariffs are not going to affect the economy, and the
inflation could stay low even though it has ticked back up.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Okay, it was a story out of the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I'm not asking you to trust the Wall Street Journal
on anything regarding Trump, and I'm maybe you can't even
trust them on this stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Right. The gal Man effect in full effect.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Americans see their four to one k's not just as
nest eggs, but as rainy day funds. The story here
is that people are putting more money into their four
to one K than ever before, and you think, my gosh,
we learned this from doctor Matt Will economists at the
University of Indianapolis.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
People are paying down their credit card.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Debt, which seems insane, but with this four to one
K story, four point eight percent of workers took a
hardship distribution for financial emergency. That's a record that is
up from a pre pandemic average of about two percent,
so it's more than double. People are putting more in,
(25:10):
they're taking more out now. Some of them are taking
it out because they've said, you know what, screw it,
We're taking the world trip, We're going on vacation. I'm
not gonna save this money from when I die.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
To hell with all that.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Let's go like that happens and I get it, and
I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
But in the main, it is odd. Is this about the.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
View of four to one K is as a tool
and you're willing to pay those penalties? Is this a
view about money or is this an example of ends
are not being met?
Speaker 3 (25:46):

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yes, wish TV meteorologists correct, good to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Okay, Monday, She goes.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
We've got seventy four degrees in the American Standard Cooling
Weather Center at the time, it's seven oh nine. WIBC
(03:31):
dot com has the story Jake McDaniel reporting five shot
on the northeast side.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
This is Indianapolis. This is our city.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Oh you don't live in Indianapolis. You don't get to talk.
Oh shut up, you have fools. You've had enough time
to try and fix the city. You can't do it.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You're not smart enough, you're not bright enough, you're not
willing enough, you're not capable enough. Or you're just implementing
the wrong strategies because you elect the wrong people.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Right. Could be your plenty smart and plenty decent.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Some people know the people who are trolls on social
media and want to scream you you don't live in India,
you don't get to say, of course we do. And
since you can't stop us, you know, don't care if
you're happy. But for the people who want a better Indianapolis,
well there's a problem here. There's a problem culturally, as
we have discussed numerous times.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
And there's a problem with the leadership.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Deer Run subdivision off East thirty eight between North County
Line and North German Church Road. Officers finding one of
the victims at the scene awake and breathing, and then
sometime after the shooting, before the victims went to hospitals
on their own, what's happening. Not everything is the fault
(04:52):
of police, and not everything is the fault of elected officials.
Please don't get me wrong, even the ones I find
to be deplorable. But it is clear and it is
obvious that when there is no willingness to address these
things honestly and with focus, you will get more of them.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I don't think that that Chief Baily of the IMPD
is doing himself any.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Favors with these videos.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But I did think he did himself a tremendous favor
when he spoke honestly about the cultural things that are
affecting Indianapolis. He said that on this very show. You
can find that interview at WIBC dot com. We have
a problem that isn't going away, and we have a
leadership that doesn't want to address it. And until they do,
(05:42):
we'll keep seeing these issues. And I'm not saying we
won't see it afterwards, but without addressing it, addressing cultural,
addressing other parts of this, you got nothing. You got
no shot and no chance. Tony Katz, ninety three, WIBC,
Good Morning. The Popcorn Moments brought to you by boer
Re Modeling. Tony Katz, ninety three, WIBC, Good Morning. I
(06:03):
should really do it with more fanfare, the popcorn moment.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It's a story you need to hear to believe, and
then grab your popcorn because there is more.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Okay, you should sit down for this. You should hear this,
and then you should tell me what the heck this is.
We sent a question, hey, Diego Morales, he is the
Secretary of State, and we said we would like to
(06:41):
do an interview.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Now we should be clear.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I am very very focused about Diego Morales for well
over a year anytime.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
We bring him up. I've been playing this.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
The Secretary of State, Diego Morales hired his brother in law.
Comedians in the dictionary know what you'll find, I'm sure
me No, the definition of the word idiot, which you are.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
God, Karen, you are so stupid. What are your qualifications?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Take his qualifications and then shove them somewhere.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Who hires their brother in law? That is they've ever heard?
My line is.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
It's just absolutely nutty. It smacks of corruption, it smacks
of everything we wouldn't want the Republican Party doing. And
the idea that when asked about it, who I think
it was Ed Delaney who was asking him about it,
Democrat from Indianapolis. The answer from Diego Morales was we
(07:48):
hire the best of the best of the best.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
There's not an answer.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
It was never an answer, and his staff has to
know that that's not an answer, and that's very embarrassing.
I feel the same way about Joe hogg Seats staff
as I do about Diego Morales's staff. At some moment
you realize this is not a good place to be,
don't you don't you?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Well?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
This then, of course, became a subject of this trip
to India, this trip here and there?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
And who's paying for these trips?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Are the taxpayers paying for the Secretary of State of
Indiana to go visit these countries? And is he having
official visits with them? I mean, who is he to
have official visits? Is this something that the Secretary of
State does or is he trying to make himself look
like more than he is?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
And is this being paid for by the taxpayer?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That is such a legitimate question that to not answer
the question is laughable. To not answer the question for
taxpayers of who's paying for this trip is ridiculous, It
is embarrassing, and it is shameful. It's shameful for Diego Morales,
the Secretary of State. It's shameful for his staff that
(09:02):
knows that it is such a baseline, basic question, a
basic concept who paid for the trip?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
To not answer it, while it certainly does not prove
in a.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Court of law guilt, it does in the court of
a public opinion prove guilt absolutely. If you were to
ask people, they would think that Diego Morales is up
to shady stuff without proof. By the way, because he
never answered the question, the question, which is so basic
and so simple for a Republican or for a Democrat,
(09:37):
conservative or a liberal, a moderate or an independent, for
any Hoosier, this is a baseline question.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
To not answer it. Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Not only does it make you look in the court
of public opinion like a guilty person, like you did
something improper, it's a way of explaining to people how
much you hate them, how much you disregard them, how
above them you think you are.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And that is very obvious, I believe.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
From the actions of Diego Morales, and somehow his staff stays.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
This brings us to something that took place the other
day in the reporter here with the with the video.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
This happened Diego Morales speaking to the Motor Vehicle Advisory Board.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
You know, one of the things.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
That we're going to try to do right now is
to share with you the hard work that the Morales
administration has been doing since I took office, because the
fake news will never share that, the fake WOBC, the
fake in the Star, they will never So.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
First, since when does the Secretary of State refer to
it as their administration, the Morales administration.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That's very odd.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And when he was on these nations, these country visits,
did he represent himself as the Morales administration. Is there
an issue there? I don't know what he did. Heck,
we don't know who paid for the trip, but very odd. Again, egomaniacal. Again,
(11:15):
Look how more important I am than you? Look how
special I am. What Diego Morales is trying to do
is trying to Trump himself. He's trying to be Trump,
and then when talking about IBC, he's trying to engage
in Trumps. And again, the problem is it doesn't work
because Diego Morales is not Donald Trump and he never
will be. He doesn't come close. Fake news is when
(11:38):
they lie about you. It is not fake news when
they ask who paid for the trip? But Diego Morales
knows this and his team knows this, except his team
doesn't want to admit to it, Which brings us to
Lindsay Eaton, the comms director for the Indiana Secretary of State,
whom we emailed and we said, hey, we would like
(12:03):
to interview Secretary of State Digga Morales regarding his statement
about WIBC, And we sent the link that out of
the video I just shared with you.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Please let me know how we can coordinate.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
It came from producer Carl The response was, Hi, Carl,
this is from Lindsay Eaton, the comms director. Hi Carl,
we respectfully decline your interview request on this topic. Your
station and those who work there have previously chosen the
platform unfounded and frankly ridiculous allegations about Secretary of Morales
(12:38):
and actual or imagined associates.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Now, this has to do with tickets.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
To a basketball game, and Morales was there, and Lieutenant
Governor Michael Beck was with what was there and where
did those tickets come from? And this guy and in
his history and his issues. I haven't done that story.
Rob and and Casey have done that story. I have
not done that story. So because of that, they're declining
(13:09):
an interview. Although they call the allegations unfounded and ridiculous,
but they don't state why.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Lindsay Eaton does not state Wine in the email.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
She then responds continues with quote with a redaction and
apology given after spreading falls in an accurate information on
your station about one of those associates. Given the manner
of that coverage, we will not participate in interviews with
your outlet at this time. Now, I think she meant
without a redaction and an apology. However, she has not
(13:41):
indicated what requires redaction or what requires apology. We don't
know what she is saying requires redaction and apology. What
I can tell you is that she is talking about
a show and not the station.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
That seems obvious at this point. It's obvious she's talking
about Kendall in Casey.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
She's not talking about me, and she's not talking about
the WIBC newsroom.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
She continues.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
By common definition, fake news is the presentation of false, uninformed, incomplete,
or selective information as complete objective news reporting or journalism.
In our opinion, time and again, time and time again,
your outlet's news reporting consists of unsubstantiated, secondhand information unbolstered
by reasonable due diligence, writes Lindsay Eaton, Secretary Communications Director
(14:35):
for Secretary of State Morales. She continues, quote listeners are
likely to be misled by negligent, obtained, uninformed, or even
malinformed information and subjective opinion presented as complete and factual news.
We do not intend to enable or collaborate in such practices. Now,
a couple things here. First, I'm pretty sure the second
(14:59):
half of that email is by AI. That's my take,
doesn't seem to be a way people talk. Secondly, I
would remind Lindsay Eaton, who once worked at Fox fifty nine,
that the news department of WIBC is different than the
commentary done in WIBC, and she is engaging right now
in a disparagement of the newsroom, which I think that
(15:20):
defamation is pretty awful. I don't know if it reaches
the point of actionable against the State of Indiana, but
I'm not a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
The newsroom has not engaged at all in.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Anything like this, and I have said many times that
what I do here is indeed commentary, not journalism that
is done by the newsroom. It is a different function.
But you know that, Lindsay. You know it, and we
all know it. You also have not provided what is
(15:58):
indeed false. You have not shared that you have made
an allegation with no backup none. Can I ask what
credibility you think you have in this conversation, Lindsey, I
gotta get to commercial here.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
But allow me. We asked a legitimate question.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Diego Morales engaged in what is clearly false, and me
asking the question is not the problem. Your response is.
And if the secretary of State's office wants to start
a fight with me. They can, but look at yourselves.
What are you doing today on the marketplace? All right,
(16:45):
some mom is upset with some kids somewhere. Tony Katz
ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Good to be with you.
During downtime, I'm clearing my head. I'm getting ready for
what's next on the show. I find myself on Facebook
Marketplace and I'm scrolling through all this stuff, cool stuff,
odds up, weird stuff, strange stuff. The marketplace segment brought
to you by Indiana Unclaimed dot gov. It is your cash,
(17:08):
go get it. No, seriously, it's yours. It's that refund
you never got. It's a last paycheck you forgot about.
It's some dividend from a stock you don't even know
you owned. Well, it's waiting for you with the Attorney general.
So go to Indiana Unclaimed dot gov and get your
cash fast easy, free to use a text my name
Tony to four six two two zero. That's Tony to
(17:28):
four six two two zero and get your cash Indiana
Unclaimed dot gov. So the marketplaces, everything in capitalism is great,
and anything other than that simply doesn't work and is
awful like communism, socialism, democratic socialism. That's that's adorable. So
I love the marketplace and they have weird stuff. And
(17:49):
Matt Behar. You can find Matt Bear by the way
on the live stream. You know we're live streaming right,
Go to YouTube, go to ninety three WYBC and subscribing
to be in the chat room. You can do it
all right there, Matt is there. Look at that. He
is wearing a size medium T shirt today.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
This is a small, of course it is. I was
trying to make it better.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
No, thank you. Yeah, it feels good, man, it feels
it's a hot summer day.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
It's like a hug.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
It's like your shirts hugging me with love.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Shirt is giving you bicep hugs.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
I love you.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Do you like the Star Wars? There, Matt Bear? Love it,
love it the start. Do you like the Star Trek?
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Not really? No, okay, never got into the track, got
into the Wars.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
This is the listing Star War and Star Trek Collection,
not Star.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Wars Star War.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
There's only one more.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, as if it was singular. So what I've determined
here is that's all. It says, Star Wars and Star
Trek Collection and right. I think that's supposed to be
the enterprise. And there's comic books, and then there's a
T shirt, and there's a there's a forty five, a record.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
A forty five.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Just plays clips of William Shatner, right, and.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Star Trek the Next Generation Companion, and the Star Wars storybook,
and a whole bunch of things, the Star Trek Compendium.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
All these things you can buy.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
It used to be fifteen dollars, but now it's all
yours for eight bucks.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
And what I want to know is what mom out
there is selling their twenty seven year old's crap.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
It's the mom of a thirty five year old that's
trying to get them to move out of the house.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
You know, that's what's to do?
Speaker 7 (19:33):
What you sell all their stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I'm saying, I'm calling my shot. This stuff belongs to
somebody who lives in their mom's space.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Man, Yeah, he's on his way out. This is a
way to do it.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I mean, the stuff's cool.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
I mean you're pricing at seven.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
You know, I'm always completed about the prizes, but you
say seven dollars and I think I'm getting junk.
Speaker 9 (19:51):
Whoa whoa eight eight dollars. Oh, excuse me, fellas, sorry,
eight dollars. No, Now, it's okay. I mean that's fine.
Hey seven, it's too long. Now it's I mean it's cool.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
I just I mean, if you're a big time collector,
maybe I just don't. I mean, the final is even
like one of those that would fit on a kid's
record player, you know, like one of those Fisher Price
record players when you had with a kid.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It's not even like you got to pull up the
center thing and turn it's a lock some place.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Sure, that's that right next to the easy big oven.
This is cool stuff. But I just I don't need
more stuff in my apartment. I have a one bedroom apartment.
If somebody has a big home in a Star Wars room,
buy the hell out of this.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
It's gonna be if you have a Star Wars room.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
You have a Star Wars room. You got Star Wars jeepers.
So are you interne out for eight bucks?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'm out?
Speaker 7 (20:42):
Wow, yeah, so out.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
No. I don't want any of it.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Just because you think this is junk. You don't understand
the historical significance. Oh you don't have a childlike imagination.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
Don't accuse me that I have a huge childlike imagination,
and I saw the original Star Wars number four in
the movie theater when I was a little boy, right,
so I know Star Wars very much.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
And I just don't want to buy any of this.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
I mean, I would rather go to Comic Con or
jen Con and get stuff there.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
You know, Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to the seller here.
I don't mean the poopaul.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
I guess he's going to stay in his mom's basement.
It's a little while longer.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
With a twenty five cent record that fits on a
Fisher Place record player.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
It is all there on the marketplace.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
We have everything listed that we do from the marketplace
at WIBC dot com, presented by Indiana Unclaimed dot gov.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Take a look at it.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Tony Katz ninety three, WIBC good Morning Energy.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Should not need a substrate. With energy, you make money,
you don't lose money.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
But more important than that is it ruins the landscape.
It kills the birds, the noisy. You know, you have
a certain place in the Massachusetts area that over the
last twenty years had one or two whales Washashaw and
over the last short period of time they at eighteen okay,
(21:58):
because it's driving them a low. Oh, I'm driving them crazy. Now,
windmills will not come. It's not going to happen in
the United States.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Good because this windmill stuff is ridiculous. Tony Katz ninety
three WIBC, Good morning. That's President Trump speaking as he
was regarding the trade deal with the European Union and.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
The trade deal.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Like you, you are left wondering why the EU signed
this deal. Now I have made I have made the
argument that it's possible that some of these things, you know,
six hundred billion for investment in the United States, well
maybe that was going to come anyway. Seven hundred billion
for military hardware, well maybe that was going to come anyway.
And they're just folding into this deal to make it
(22:43):
look like a good deal. Maybe, but no tariff on
the vast majority of US goods going into the European
Union and fifteen percent tariff on EU goods coming to
the United States. I think this response is real of
my gosh, what was the EU thing thinking? And dear Lord,
how did Trump make this happen? It is this admission
(23:05):
that the trade war thing is working for Trump in
that you make a deal or things are going to
get very tough. He's totally willing to make it impossible.
So you get the best that you can and you
move on with your day. You hope for another president,
you hope for another deal, or you just accept the
level of new normals in all the host of things.
(23:26):
I stand by my statements tariffs. Tariffs are taxes. That's all.
Tariffs are taxes, plain and simple. It is what it is.
It hasn't changed at all. The tariffs have not yet
come to the people, and that's why things are working.
My concern is what happens when the tariff gets passed along.
(23:52):
That's a real, real issue. But I share with you
a story. What I want is economic success.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I want this. I don't need Trump to win. I
need us to have the win. And if.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Tariffs are not going to affect the economy, and the
inflation could stay low even though it has ticked back up.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Okay, it was a story out of the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I'm not asking you to trust the Wall Street Journal
on anything regarding Trump, and I'm maybe you can't even
trust them on this stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Right. The gal Man effect in full effect.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Americans see their four to one k's not just as
nest eggs, but as rainy day funds. The story here
is that people are putting more money into their four
to one K than ever before, and you think, my gosh,
we learned this from doctor Matt Will economists at the
University of Indianapolis.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
