Speaker 1 (00:00):
But a little down south here is this hurricane bearing
down on Jamaica. This is a cat for when I
last saw this, Tara Haysings, I know you've been following
this because it's bigger than we understand.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Right.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yes, it is a Category five storm, a massive storm.
Wins at one hundred and seventy five miles per hour.
The pressures dropped down to nine hundred and one millibars,
making it the eighth strongest hurricane in the Atlantic basin
as far as pressure goes. Yesterday, the hurricane hunters went
(00:37):
in this eyewall to kind of get a sample of
the pressure in the winds and that we're talking about.
You know, experienced pilots a strong aircraft. They had to
turn around because the turbulence was so bad. So that
kind of gives you some perspective is just how massive
this storm is. Wording from the National Hurricane Center, catastrophic
(00:59):
flood flash flooding the eyewall winds may cause total structure
of failure, prolonged power outages, and life threatening storm surge.
This could be the strongest hurricane to ever hit the
island of Jamaica, and it's moving really slow at about
five miles an hour. Likely landfall will be sometime after
(01:21):
the lunch hour. Of course they're feeling some of the
outer bands right now, but the landfall is actually when
the eyewall goes over and hits land. That'll probably happen
after noon today.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
As things are recorded.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Strongest hurricane to hit Jamaica since eighteen fifty one.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
We will keep our eyes on and appreciate the update.
Right there.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
That's Tara Hastings covering everything everywhere, all the time.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Appreciate you, Tara quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
We've got forty nine degrees in the American standard Heating
Weather Center at the time is seven o eight. When
(02:14):
I first saw this story, I saw the story as
a trans student in Mooresville who was planning to shoot
up the school. Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, Good morning,
(02:37):
Mooresville High School, Indiana, a eighteen year old.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I don't use names here.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
When I first read the story, this was a girl
who thought herself a boy. That's was right there in
the reporting. This was a national outlet, so I started
looking at local outlets, and a series of local outlets
did not mention the part about the transgenderism. To their credit,
(03:11):
WHR did. During the department's investigation, officers identified the person
of interest as.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
This woman utilizing the name of a man.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
And now we're hearing that the female pronouns are okay.
The suspect had access to an AR fifteen ordered a
bulletproof vest, had a very very large interest in people
like Nicholas Cruz. So other shootings, whether it be Parkland
(03:55):
or whether it be South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
And that killer.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
There's a real question to ask about mental illness and transgenderism.
Of course this should be asked. I'm not going to
shy away from it. Anybody who does or tells you
you have to.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
It's just ugly.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
But I think the larger problem is what happens to
people who are so broken they feel that they have
to take it out on others.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
That's the question before us.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And this is what was being planned for a high
school in Morrisville.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
What else do we know? What else don't we know?
How do you even know if a school is safe?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And I'm not saying that people should should walk around
in fear or live in fear, but rather these things
are starting to become way too commonplace. Never mind just
school shootings in gen this is concerning stuff. I don't
think you can police every last thing. They don't believe that.
(05:10):
I do think that we had a long conversation in America,
or I should say a short conversation in America, far
too long ago, about how do you harden the target.
That conversation seems to have gone away. I don't think
that conversation should go away. We might want to guard
schools like Reguard jewelry stores. This should come back to
(05:35):
Indiana in great measure.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
How do we want to do this? Do we want
to pretend this isn't happening?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Or do we want to be grown ups and deal
with what might happen to the best of our ability.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
That's my take.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, Good Morning, Gear it up

Speaker 4 (07:41):
The popcorn moment. Let's go, let's go, let's go, scut
it's the story you need to hear to believe.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Then grab your popcorn because there is more redistricting announced
the special the special session taking place. Governor Mike Braun
making that announcement yesterday. I had Governor Braun on.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
The show on Tony Katz today. I had him on
yesterday to.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Ask about what it is that made him say this
was the time for the special session.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
So let me give you the underpinning of why we're
doing it and then get to the why. I think
there are going to probably be enough votes there. The
blue states have already jerrymandered as much as they possibly
can to the benefit of their own party. You take
the six New England states that vote roughly around forty
(08:33):
percent Republican, they have zero Republican representatives in the House.
In Illinois, our neighbor to the west and twenty four.
That split was forty seven fifty three. Yet Democrats hold
fourteen out of the seventeen House seats. That is the
(08:54):
reason it needs to be done. And then why would
we be dragging our feet? I think all along I
wanted this to be as organic as possible. Give it time,
and there's been conversations going on for a long time
between the White House. Obviously JD came in. President's made
(09:19):
a couple overtures. But I think if our own folks
put their thinking caps on, they'll see that this is
the kind of even the playing field. And then when
you hear the votes aren't there, that's mostly coming from
Democrats and others that don't want it to occur for
the reasons I've just mentioned. They don't want the playing
(09:41):
field even. I think once this got to where it
goes public, you'll have people getting off the fence and
you're going to.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
See the votes will be there. Well, let me in
that it doesn't, and then you deal with.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It because it's very possible you've called the special session
but doesn't guarantee the vote.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
That much is true what other states have done. This
all seems.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
To germinate out of Texas making the change, and then
California saying that we're going to engage in retribution. If
Texas had never moved, would Indiana have moved?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, I think when Texas did it, they were crossing
the rubicon to actually address the imbalance. California is a
gerrymandered state. They've got enough Democrats there where they can
jerrymander probably further most other states can't.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
And that who.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Starts first, who's second. The gauntlet's been thrown down, and
I think Hoosiers are generally not going to maybe initiate
stuff like that. Play by the rules, but the rules
haven't been played by by the other side for a
long time. That's why I thought it was going to
take time to get to where we are now.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Talking to Governor Mike Braun, the governor of Indiana. A
lot of statements from the Indiana Republicans and the Senate
saying they don't have the votes, which I always thought
was an interesting way for them to talk about things.
It seemed like they were trying to engage a pressure
campaign on Republicans in the Indiana Senate.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
To go forward with this.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
What does your internal whip count say, do you have
the votes on redistricting.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
We think we're close enough to where once it becomes
a public discussion, you'll hide behind the fact that it's
all abstract until you have the discussion publicly. It looks
like the House was not necessarily there. They had come
along some time ago, and I think this is the
(11:40):
catalyst that most Republicans in our state want it to
be a public discussion. I think any Senators that are
still waffling haven't made up their mind. They'll hear from
their own constituents, and I think it'll be to go
forward with it.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Indiana Democrat have come out to say, you're afraid of
the issues. You're losing on healthcare, you're losing on education,
You're just losing everywhere.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Governor Braun, how do you respond to that?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I think if they think their policies, which reflect their
federal Democratic Party, if that's going to gain stride in
this state, that is a fatal mistake. We've done more
to people are looking to Indiana on education. We've been
(12:34):
the state more than any other that has tried to
fix a broken healthcare system where our own system works
like an unregulated utility, and in respect, they don't embrace competition, transparency.
We just touched on it in this last session. I
think they're grasping at stralls for them to actually do
(12:54):
well in Indiana. You can't be behind the issues that
their federal party and horses their national party is off.
Actually want to do more of that. That's not going
to sell in Indiana.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Talking to Governor Mike Braun of Indiana, allow me, well,
I've got.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
A couple of minutes.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
The conversation has been fierce on redistricting and nasty on redistricting.
I'm going to share with you a post from Gavin
news from the governor of California, responding to your post,
your statement that I just read about the special session
on redistricting and the federal and state attacks issue. Here
(13:39):
I share it as he wrote it, Sarah, I've got
a minute. Looks like Governor Braun needs some knee pads.
He's making a very gross conversation here that you're just
doing the White Houses bidding and you're just providing them favors.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
A response to Governor Newsom, I would say.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
He is trying to stage himself for a failed effort
to run for president, and of course he's got to
say it because he's running the most dysfunctional state in
the country, and he'll lose congressional districts most likely in
the twenty thirty census because people are leaving his state
(14:24):
in mass numbers. They're moving to places that don't run
like that. Likewise, New Yorkers, many of them are moving
to Florida. And when I looked at the net migration
into a state, Indiana, I think was the only one
in the northern half of the country that had people
moving into it. And that's the benefit of Pritzker and
(14:47):
our neighbor to the west. So I think that's the
response I'd give, and I'd like to hear his response
to why people are moving out of his state.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Didn't even get to bless your heart, why here. You
took the high ground there, sir, Governor Mike Braun. I
appreciate you taking the time. In November three is when
you wanted to convene in five seconds.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Will it convene on the third I think.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It will, and I think there will be a lot
of reinforcement for it. For senators that are still not
sure what to do.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
There might very well be a lot of reinforcement for
my conversation with Governor Mike Braun. You'll find that at

Speaker 5 (18:33):
Please stop saying Hawaiian on the air and stop repeating
it over and over.
Speaker 6 (18:36):

No, it's not.

This is a Hawaiian big mac. There was extra pineapple
on it.

Speaker 1 (20:20):

Speaker 8 (20:27):
I was at Oahu Oahu King Melieana Kamana Maya, King
Kameya Maya. He united the Hawaiian Islands, all seven of them.

Speaker 9 (21:09):
Man.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
No, first of one does look like Nick Cage, Nick Cage.
The guy who does look like Nick Cage. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (21:17):

Speaker 4 (21:20):
No, No it's not.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Maybe it's Dice, Yeah, a little Dice in there.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Come on, I did offer to buy it. I did
say I'll take.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
It right, so I'll buy one for me.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Sure, we'll see. No, No, this is mine alone.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Everything of the marketplace is over there WIBC dot com.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
You should check it out for yourself.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Gearing up for Halloween as we all are, I wanted
to take this moment to remind you not to play
the part of the fool. Tony Katz ninety three, WIBC.
Good morning, Good to be with you. I'll get to
that in just a moment. On the redistricting the special
session has been called, the answer is absolutely we should redistrict.
(22:04):
There is no guarantee that just because you redistrict and
redraw the lines that everything's going to work out. You
still have to run quality candidates, and you still have
to go out there and sell your story, and you
still have to go out there and win.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
But it has been to me remarkable to watch.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Republicans not recognize that the issues within the state also
do connect to issues within the nation. That is to
say that we have a role to play. And this
idea that you're stealing people's votes is a lie and
a fraud put forth by Democrats all over the place.
This idea as Mitch Daniels elucidated that somehow we don't
(22:48):
need this.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
I disagree with the former governor. It's okay to do so,
very okay to do so.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I disagree with Republicans who are opposed to redistricting. They
are wrong, and I'm going to make the case about it.
I don't have to wake up every day hating these people.
I simply have to make a better argument than they have.
I have to persuade more, I have to push more.
(23:21):
And yes, ladies and gentlemen, pressure works, and I would
like for everybody to keep that in their hip pocket,
because once this is done, we're going to move into
another phase and I'm going to need you all there
when we do it. A little bit of strategy goes
a long way.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
For now, we've.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Got a special session on redistricting, and we should redistrict
the state of Indiana. I'll have more on this on
Tony Kats today at noon. But as I said, you know,
Halloween is here, Matt Behar. It's this week, and some
people are silly enough to dress up like a creepy clown,
Matt Bear. Shockingly, they're like, we're gonna dress up like

be threatening to people.

time in life. Don't dress up like a creepy Clown's.

I get bad for you. Do you need one more, Matt?
Do you need one more?
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Just yeah? Because I'm not convinced yet.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I may have played this one yesterday. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Maybe I played this today. You know what, I played
this one yesterday? About playing again.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
That's all we're trying to do.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Absolutely, that's it.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
That's it.
Speaker 9 (25:42):
Hap
But a little down south here is this hurricane bearing
down on Jamaica. This is a cat for when I
last saw this, Tara Haysings, I know you've been following
this because it's bigger than we understand.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Right.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yes, it is a Category five storm, a massive storm.
Wins at one hundred and seventy five miles per hour.
The pressures dropped down to nine hundred and one millibars,
making it the eighth strongest hurricane in the Atlantic basin
as far as pressure goes. Yesterday, the hurricane hunters went
(00:37):
in this eyewall to kind of get a sample of
the pressure in the winds and that we're talking about.
You know, experienced pilots a strong aircraft. They had to
turn around because the turbulence was so bad. So that
kind of gives you some perspective is just how massive
this storm is. Wording from the National Hurricane Center, catastrophic
(00:59):
flood flash flooding the eyewall winds may cause total structure
of failure, prolonged power outages, and life threatening storm surge.
This could be the strongest hurricane to ever hit the
island of Jamaica, and it's moving really slow at about
five miles an hour. Likely landfall will be sometime after
(01:21):
the lunch hour. Of course they're feeling some of the
outer bands right now, but the landfall is actually when
the eyewall goes over and hits land. That'll probably happen
after noon today.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
As things are recorded.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Strongest hurricane to hit Jamaica since eighteen fifty one.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
We will keep our eyes on and appreciate the update.
Right there.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
That's Tara Hastings covering everything everywhere, all the time.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Appreciate you, Tara quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
We've got forty nine degrees in the American standard Heating
Weather Center at the time is seven o eight. When
(02:14):
I first saw this story, I saw the story as
a trans student in Mooresville who was planning to shoot
up the school. Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, Good morning,
(02:37):
Mooresville High School, Indiana, a eighteen year old.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I don't use names here.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
When I first read the story, this was a girl
who thought herself a boy. That's was right there in
the reporting. This was a national outlet, so I started
looking at local outlets, and a series of local outlets
did not mention the part about the transgenderism. To their credit,
(03:11):
WHR did. During the department's investigation, officers identified the person
of interest as.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
This woman utilizing the name of a man.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
And now we're hearing that the female pronouns are okay.
The suspect had access to an AR fifteen ordered a
bulletproof vest, had a very very large interest in people
like Nicholas Cruz. So other shootings, whether it be Parkland
(03:55):
or whether it be South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
And that killer.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
There's a real question to ask about mental illness and transgenderism.
Of course this should be asked. I'm not going to
shy away from it. Anybody who does or tells you
you have to.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
It's just ugly.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
But I think the larger problem is what happens to
people who are so broken they feel that they have
to take it out on others.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
That's the question before us.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And this is what was being planned for a high
school in Morrisville.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
What else do we know? What else don't we know?
How do you even know if a school is safe?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And I'm not saying that people should should walk around
in fear or live in fear, but rather these things
are starting to become way too commonplace. Never mind just
school shootings in gen this is concerning stuff. I don't
think you can police every last thing. They don't believe that.
(05:10):
I do think that we had a long conversation in America,
or I should say a short conversation in America, far
too long ago, about how do you harden the target.
That conversation seems to have gone away. I don't think
that conversation should go away. We might want to guard
schools like Reguard jewelry stores. This should come back to
(05:35):
Indiana in great measure.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
How do we want to do this? Do we want
to pretend this isn't happening?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Or do we want to be grown ups and deal
with what might happen to the best of our ability.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
That's my take.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Tony Katz, ninety three WIBC, Good Morning, Gear it up

Speaker 4 (07:41):
The popcorn moment. Let's go, let's go, let's go, scut
it's the story you need to hear to believe.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Then grab your popcorn because there is more redistricting announced
the special the special session taking place. Governor Mike Braun
making that announcement yesterday. I had Governor Braun on.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
The show on Tony Katz today. I had him on
yesterday to.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Ask about what it is that made him say this
was the time for the special session.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
So let me give you the underpinning of why we're
doing it and then get to the why. I think
there are going to probably be enough votes there. The
blue states have already jerrymandered as much as they possibly
can to the benefit of their own party. You take
the six New England states that vote roughly around forty
(08:33):
percent Republican, they have zero Republican representatives in the House.
In Illinois, our neighbor to the west and twenty four.
That split was forty seven fifty three. Yet Democrats hold
fourteen out of the seventeen House seats. That is the
(08:54):
reason it needs to be done. And then why would
we be dragging our feet? I think all along I
wanted this to be as organic as possible. Give it time,
and there's been conversations going on for a long time
between the White House. Obviously JD came in. President's made
(09:19):
a couple overtures. But I think if our own folks
put their thinking caps on, they'll see that this is
the kind of even the playing field. And then when
you hear the votes aren't there, that's mostly coming from
Democrats and others that don't want it to occur for
the reasons I've just mentioned. They don't want the playing
(09:41):
field even. I think once this got to where it
goes public, you'll have people getting off the fence and
you're going to.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
See the votes will be there. Well, let me in
that it doesn't, and then you deal with.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It because it's very possible you've called the special session
but doesn't guarantee the vote.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
That much is true what other states have done. This
all seems.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
To germinate out of Texas making the change, and then
California saying that we're going to engage in retribution. If
Texas had never moved, would Indiana have moved?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, I think when Texas did it, they were crossing
the rubicon to actually address the imbalance. California is a
gerrymandered state. They've got enough Democrats there where they can
jerrymander probably further most other states can't.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
And that who.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Starts first, who's second. The gauntlet's been thrown down, and
I think Hoosiers are generally not going to maybe initiate
stuff like that. Play by the rules, but the rules
haven't been played by by the other side for a
long time. That's why I thought it was going to
take time to get to where we are now.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Talking to Governor Mike Braun, the governor of Indiana. A
lot of statements from the Indiana Republicans and the Senate
saying they don't have the votes, which I always thought
was an interesting way for them to talk about things.
It seemed like they were trying to engage a pressure
campaign on Republicans in the Indiana Senate.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
To go forward with this.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
What does your internal whip count say, do you have
the votes on redistricting.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
We think we're close enough to where once it becomes
a public discussion, you'll hide behind the fact that it's
all abstract until you have the discussion publicly. It looks
like the House was not necessarily there. They had come
along some time ago, and I think this is the
(11:40):
catalyst that most Republicans in our state want it to
be a public discussion. I think any Senators that are
still waffling haven't made up their mind. They'll hear from
their own constituents, and I think it'll be to go
forward with it.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Indiana Democrat have come out to say, you're afraid of
the issues. You're losing on healthcare, you're losing on education,
You're just losing everywhere.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Governor Braun, how do you respond to that?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I think if they think their policies, which reflect their
federal Democratic Party, if that's going to gain stride in
this state, that is a fatal mistake. We've done more
to people are looking to Indiana on education. We've been
(12:34):
the state more than any other that has tried to
fix a broken healthcare system where our own system works
like an unregulated utility, and in respect, they don't embrace competition, transparency.
We just touched on it in this last session. I
think they're grasping at stralls for them to actually do
(12:54):
well in Indiana. You can't be behind the issues that
their federal party and horses their national party is off.
Actually want to do more of that. That's not going
to sell in Indiana.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Talking to Governor Mike Braun of Indiana, allow me, well,
I've got.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
A couple of minutes.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
The conversation has been fierce on redistricting and nasty on redistricting.
I'm going to share with you a post from Gavin
news from the governor of California, responding to your post,
your statement that I just read about the special session
on redistricting and the federal and state attacks issue. Here
(13:39):
I share it as he wrote it, Sarah, I've got
a minute. Looks like Governor Braun needs some knee pads.
He's making a very gross conversation here that you're just
doing the White Houses bidding and you're just providing them favors.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
A response to Governor Newsom, I would say.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
He is trying to stage himself for a failed effort
to run for president, and of course he's got to
say it because he's running the most dysfunctional state in
the country, and he'll lose congressional districts most likely in
the twenty thirty census because people are leaving his state
(14:24):
in mass numbers. They're moving to places that don't run
like that. Likewise, New Yorkers, many of them are moving
to Florida. And when I looked at the net migration
into a state, Indiana, I think was the only one
in the northern half of the country that had people
moving into it. And that's the benefit of Pritzker and
(14:47):
our neighbor to the west. So I think that's the
response I'd give, and I'd like to hear his response
to why people are moving out of his state.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Didn't even get to bless your heart, why here. You
took the high ground there, sir, Governor Mike Braun. I
appreciate you taking the time. In November three is when
you wanted to convene in five seconds.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Will it convene on the third I think.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It will, and I think there will be a lot
of reinforcement for it. For senators that are still not
sure what to do.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
There might very well be a lot of reinforcement for
my conversation with Governor Mike Braun. You'll find that at
WIBC dot com and on my YouTube page YouTube dot

Unfortunately, someone is selling They're in Pendleton.

and I looked at, uh, the box, and I said something.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
About this is very racist.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
And I also just sent a message to the owner
that said I'll take it if it's racist.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Please stop saying Hawaiian on the air and stop repeating
it over and over.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
I think we'll get in trouble.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
What Hawaiian?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, Hawaiian is fine.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
No, it's not.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
I just of.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Course it is. What's wrong with you Hawaiian?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Come on talking about someone's going to tell me this

This is a Hawaiian big mac. There was extra pineapple
on it.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
And then and then, by the way, if you made
up if you made a big mac with pineapple, I'd

Speaker 5 (19:58):
No no, no, no, no no no, oh yeah, you're you're kidding,

Speaker 6 (21:22):
Maybe it's Dice, Yeah, a little Dice in there.
Speaker 4 (21:24):

Speaker 4 (21:29):
Sure, we'll see. No, No, this is mine alone.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Everything of the marketplace is over there WIBC dot com.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
You should check it out for yourself.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Gearing up for Halloween as we all are, I wanted
to take this moment to remind you not to play
the part of the fool. Tony Katz ninety three, WIBC.
Good morning, Good to be with you. I'll get to
that in just a moment. On the redistricting the special
session has been called, the answer is absolutely we should redistrict.
(22:04):
There is no guarantee that just because you redistrict and
redraw the lines that everything's going to work out. You
still have to run quality candidates, and you still have
to go out there and sell your story, and you
still have to go out there and win.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
But it has been to me remarkable to watch.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Republicans not recognize that the issues within the state also
do connect to issues within the nation. That is to
say that we have a role to play. And this
idea that you're stealing people's votes is a lie and
a fraud put forth by Democrats all over the place.
This idea as Mitch Daniels elucidated that somehow we don't
(22:48):
need this.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
I disagree with the former governor. It's okay to do so,
very okay to do so.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I disagree with Republicans who are opposed to redistricting. They
are wrong, and I'm going to make the case about it.
I don't have to wake up every day hating these people.
I simply have to make a better argument than they have.
I have to persuade more, I have to push more.
(23:21):
And yes, ladies and gentlemen, pressure works, and I would
like for everybody to keep that in their hip pocket,
because once this is done, we're going to move into
another phase and I'm going to need you all there
when we do it. A little bit of strategy goes
a long way.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
For now, we've.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Got a special session on redistricting, and we should redistrict
the state of Indiana. I'll have more on this on
Tony Kats today at noon. But as I said, you know,
Halloween is here, Matt Behar. It's this week, and some
people are silly enough to dress up like a creepy clown,
Matt Bear. Shockingly, they're like, we're gonna dress up like
(24:07):
a creepy clown and really try and scare people and
be threatening to people.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
And it's a danger. It's a danger, Matt Bear to humanity.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
So we have a series of public service announcements to
help those people out who are thinking of dressing like
a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 9 (24:24):

We're just trying to help people through this very important
time in life. Don't dress up like a creepy Clown's.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I get bad for you. Do you need one more, Matt?
Do you need one more?
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Just yeah? Because I'm not convinced yet.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I may have played this one yesterday. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Maybe I played this today. You know what, I played
this one yesterday? About playing again.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
Now a public service announcement for anyone who's thinking of
dressing like a creepy clown this Halloween.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
I'm upset to keep you in the back of the head.
I'm ten years old. Bro beat your ass. I won't

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
