Speaker 1 (00:21):
So we're going to start building drones in Indiana. We're
going to start investing in drones in Indiana.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Drone creation.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Tony Katz, ninety three w IBC, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
What is going down?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
An executive order signed by Governor Mike Brown establishing the
Indiana Initiative for Drone Dominance.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Task Force the i I D d t F. Now
that's that's what I called it.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
An Indiana Initiative for Drone Dominance task Force asked to
develop a strategic plan leveraging the state's advanced manufacturing industry,
expertise for the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division, and
restricted airspace over assets including Camp Batterbury. I don't think
(01:13):
it's a bad idea. Drones are national security, drones have
economic impact, very very interesting that what we're seeing here. First,
you know, there was the conversation about nuclear in Indiana
(01:33):
and nuclear power. First, American Nuclear is going to establish
an energy park and manufacturing facilities.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
In the state.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
According to the Governor, of five thousand jobs will be coming,
high paying. I don't know what is necessarily meant by
high paying. So we're moving on nuclear and we're moving
on drone. These are the first moves that I have
seen that talk about level of smart growth, because what
(02:03):
has happened via the IEDC has been an outrageous hot
mess and the governor.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Should be made aware of that.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
The removal of the former members, the addition of these members.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I don't think any of them are bad people.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I am saying out loud that none of them are
in the industries that Braun is now going after. So
you've created this IEDC not to help you go out
there and get the business. The whole thing is peculiar.
But I like both of these moves. Someone in the
(02:37):
chat room says, a lot of work for the electrical
grid if we are putting nuclear online. Nope, And this
is really a conversation with the SMRs, the small modular reactors,
which at first and second look I fully favor. Certainly
more research to do, but it's a movement in a
(02:57):
direction that I think is valuable. But it doesn't answer
the question of why the change of the IUDC, and
what's the purpose of the IUDC.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
What's the purpose because right now I.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Don't see them going after anything. I see no growth.
What I see us is Indiana losing and losing quite
a bit.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's a problem. Keeping an eye on this.
Speaker 1 (03:25):

Speaker 1 (04:52):
The Popcorn Moment, Let's go, Let's go, let go, let's go.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
What we changed the opening?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
It is a better day here at Tony Katz in
the Morning News. Someone gave Carl control and he has
lost his dang mind just.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Telling you what happened.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
If you're upset with the new opening to the Popcorn Moment,
send your hate mail to Casey Daniels at yahoo dot com.
Carl will be sure to get it. You will be
sure to get it. A host of things that I
could have shared with you regarding the Popcorn Moment. Some
(05:41):
things to get into about this election that took place
on Tuesday and the Mamdani conversation the mayor elect of
New York. First, there was this from the Treasury Secretary,
Scott Bessett.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I left in twenty twenty build the Blasio chase me out.
I couldn't take it anymore. And yeah, I want to
congratulate the people who voted for Mondami and you know, welcome.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
To Caracas on the Hudson.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Welcome to Caracas on the Hudson. I don't know who's
going to be more responsible for the bump in Miami
real estate, Maduro or Mondami. And you know, I know
you've hedged. You've got an apartment in New York and
a house in Connecticut. I'm told that Connecticut realtors are
(06:32):
already very busy. And you know, look, I had thirty
thirty five great years in New York. I wish New
York the best, but I think that they've chosen the worst.
And people have to learn from experience.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
That they do that they do.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
The people of New York made a decision and they
have to live with that decision. I have seen Center
Jim Banks, the Attorney General, Todd roket To say, hey,
bring your business to Indiana. I want you to know
I absolutely favor this, and I was serious, and I
know that the governor's team listens. I absolutely will lead
(07:16):
that charge because I know how to speak New York.
So yeah, let me handle this. I could speak both languages. Now,
after eleven and a half years, I can do this. No, No,
you don't get to bring your politics with you.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
See, nobody I think could do a better job than
me in explaining why they should bring their business to Indiana.
And the last thing in the world you need is
to stay in New York. Oh, I think I could
explain it pretty good to people. You bring me good stuff,
(07:55):
you leave the bad stuff. We don't want to hear
about the bad stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
You think you have an idea, You ain't got no idea.
You never heard of an idea. You don't know nothing
about an idea. You never saw an idea before. Maybe
you weren't there, maybe you were in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You don't know. What you do know is you got.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
A nice business, and we think it would be nice
if nothing happened to it, but you were actually able
to grow it.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You should come to Indiana.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
We got a lot of lovely spots, believe it or not,
some very good pizza too. No no, no, trust me on this.
Don't don't insult me. Try the pizza, then you decide.
But those politics, No no, you can't bring that with you.
No no, you ain't got no room for that. No no, no,
you ain't gonna be able to bring that. You try
and bring that. We're gonna bring you to Illinois. So
don't you even try. Don't you even try that I
(08:35):
get Sylvia.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Over here, take care of everything. Good talk, good talk,
pleas your hut. I can do this. I am the
guy to do this. I was built for a purpose
and this is it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Car. I cannot believe Governor Brown has not called yet.
What are you doing all day?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Oh? Keeping an eye on these scandals of your governor?
All right? Maybe maybe no too soon? No, yes, ruling.
I think I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
We'll get into Michael Beckworth coming up in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
In a little bit, but there there. There's much more.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
About the the UH race that I want to get
to about what took place in New York, and I
really want to break down something some numbers that are
very important because I think a.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Lot of people are overreacting.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
But Bonnie on the live stream, you know, we live
stream over at YouTube YouTube dot com slash wibc.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Why do we need to crowd Indiana?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Okay, we are getting into it, and I think that
this is going to be you know, I've been talking
about doing more events and I am planning nine in
in twenty twenty six, large scale and small scale, like
some salon type events.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
And so I've had some farmers reach out. I will
get back to you, guys.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I want to do an event with you again, but
I want to do it in a public setting. I
think in this roundtable, small group, this question.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Is a big one. Why do we need to crowd Indiana?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It is obvious that we have a split in Indiana
regarding how we grow, and that there is a real
desire in certain pockets of the state not to grow.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
They don't want it.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
They want to stay allegedly wholesome. They want to stay
a more simple is the wrong word. I don't mean
that in a disparaging way. They don't want the things
that come with growth. Let's call it traffic. Now, they'll
(10:52):
lose out on the things that come with growth, like dollars.
I don't want to force some town somewhere in our
great state to take any business, but as a matter
of just existing, it is a radical idea to not
(11:14):
want to grow. And a state that were to state
we are not interested in growth is a state that
will be believed and it will be over. Part of
my issues is that I brought up the IDC earlier.
You make these moves to make Indiana a place that's attractive,
and you work on this, and you work on this,
(11:35):
and you work on this, and you're starting to see
results and interest and activity, and then pull.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
The plug as we have. It's very obvious that we have.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I think it's a huge mistake and this desire of well,
we don't need the IEDC. We should want groups within
the states to go out there and attract business. That's
different than whether or not we should be spending money
to get these businesses, whether or not we should have
these investment groups to invest in these businesses. That's a
(12:09):
different argument. But on the very basis, shouldn't we be
doing outreach, we shouldn't be. We shouldn't be selling our story.
I'm sorry. That is backwards. That is backwards thinking, and
that should be fought. We should be forward thinking. We
should say this is the place to be. We should
(12:32):
be the capital of the Midwest. We should plant our
flag and declare it so so, No, it's not crowding Indiana,
and look around, we've got room. I don't want to
get rid of farms. I'm saying we've got room. We
should be smart about our growth. We should be deliberate
(12:54):
about our growth, but we should grow. And I believe
that the people who think otherwise are wrong and the
long term detrimental that they would provide man that is
not better for your life, my life, for the life
of our kids. Today on the marketplace, I assume if
(13:15):
you wear this to a cults game, you will get arrested.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
That's my take.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Good to be
with you. During downtime, clearing my head, getting ready for
what's next on the show, I find myself on Facebook. Marketplace.

and yes, chat room. The moon looked amazing this morning
if you haven't looked outside. My wife my youngest were
talking about it. Spectacular look at the moon this morning.
Speaking of moons, Matt Bear is on the live stream
Hello Tony.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Along with producer.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Carl And Now, I believe Matt Bear, that you are
a fan of the Indianapolis football cults.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I love the cult so much.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
So much, not just a little bit so much.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I watch every game.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
You watch all the games from the comfort of your
thirteen inch black and white TV.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah, it's it's poor. It's poor TV.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And I believe that you are also a fan of
Deadpool the movie.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah, oh it's funny, and.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
The and the comic strip.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Very adult, adult movie.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Right, the very adult.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And I heard that often when you're at home watching
the game, you are wearing your Deadpool mask.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I do, and.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
I do superhero like things, you know, I fly off
the balcon and go whoosh, right yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
You go whoosh, shush.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
This right here is an Indianapolis Cults Deadpool mask.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Okay, cool.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It's it's a mask that you wear over your head.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
And instead of being the red and black Deadpool, it's
in like a like a light gray and blue.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
And it's got the Colts logos on the side okay, and.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
It's got a Cold slogo in the back the back
of the head right there. So I assume that if
you wear this to a Colts game, you will immediately
be tackled by IMPD and arrested.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I hope not.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
This is at Tony Katz. I go to Facebook marketplace
and oh, this is a gip mask. Okay, Wow, well
it does look like a gip mask. You know, it's
got a little pool mask into it. Yeah, it's something
you would wear. And you know, it looks very very
body armor ish, and there are no air holes in
the nose or mouth that that kind of concerns made.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
It might be breathable.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
It might just be a breathable yeah, I just mean
wicking there are things here.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
I mean you might. It's just it looks uncomfortable to
put on your head.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Hold on Matt before anything. I just want I need
to say.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Hey, kids, be sure to ask your parents what a
gimp mask is.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It's good to know from them. They'll give you an
appropriate answer.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
And I think it's important.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I think it's important that not only that you ask
your parents.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
But when you when you ask them.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Uh you you you videotape the answer.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
So so we can have it.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Here for your first TikTok ever, just everyone's.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Going to learn. Everyone's going to learn, Matt Bear. This
mask is one hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Why why why that expensive?
Speaker 5 (16:56):
I mean, is it? Is it shipping free at least? No,
one hundred and twenty dollars of shipped. One hundred and
twenty dollars have shipped, one hundred dollars have picked up
in Peoria, Illinois.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Right, one hundred dollars if shipped, one hundred dollars have
picked up locally in Peoria.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Guy lives in Peoria, but he's a big Colts fan.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Yeah no, no, God bless him, thank you, thank you
for our city.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
No, I'm not in for this.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
I don't want to drive to Peoria, and I don't
want to suffocate, and I don't want to be a game.
So I have three reasons, three very good reasons not
to buy this mask.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Okay, I want to just say for the record that
Tony Kats today my midday show is on the air
in Peoria, Illinois. It's a fantastic city. It's with amazing people,
and I for one love them and I would drive
out there anytime they have.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Seventy four is a great interstate, and that's because of Peoria.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
But if you wear this mass to a cults game,
you are going.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
To get tackled by police.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
What's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
You're gonna get tackled by somebody.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Let's say that somebody's going to tackle you know.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
A dungeon, maybe somebody's basement.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Oh wow, you took it to a place, went back
to the game.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
I know what happens when you wear a mask like this.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I mean, from people to tell, from people to tell me,
and I just I'm trying to advise people that, you know,
it's it's a dangerous life.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
You know what happens when you wear a mask like this.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
It's it's like it's like I have a friend of
a friend who wore a mask like this one time,
and I haven't seen him in about two years.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
So that's almost.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
There's a lot to learn about Matt Bear, everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
The pole listing is over there at the Facebook marketplace.
Of the Facebook marketplace is over aret WBC dot com.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Be sure to check it out for yourself.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Tony Katz ninety three, WIBC, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I have stated before very.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Clearly that Micah Beckwith's political career is over. Of course,
the people of Indiana could somehow decide that he should
be lieutenant governor again or something else, and I will
sit there but.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Fuddled and baffled and confused.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
The lack of anything that I would argue that presents
him as someone.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
With a message that grows this state.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Completely missing from him, a total level of disconnect with
Hoosiers as a whole.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
But rather.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
It's about, hey, how can I be seen in this photo,
in this image, in this thing next. There's so much
of Lieutenant Governor Beckworth that I think is stagecraft as
opposed to theory and philosophy. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC,
(19:47):
good morning. Good to be with you. He cannot like me.
He doesn't like me. Fine, you got it. But I
think you're bad at your job, and I think that
you have embarrassed yourself. I think that you starting with
the idea of ninety thousand dollars trucks, we have the
right to say that's not what we want. I think
(20:10):
the idea that you are some kind of check or
balance to Governor Braun or to the General Assembly.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You've proven that's not the case.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
People voted for you in this big push to get
a different way of bringing in the lieutenant governor and
utilizing the system. And I don't know what they got.
I don't know what they got except for somebody who
takes a lot of photos and skinny jeans. Hey, man,
if you like them, you wear them. Who am I
to say? Right? You know, I can't get away with
skinny jeans, but you know, hey, if it works for you.
(20:45):
But I came across this story that you've seen people
talk about that Lieutenant Governor beck With received a written
reprimand from Roderi Bray, the Senate President pro Tem, this
back in February regarding posts an uncommon behavior presiding over
(21:08):
the Senate. The story here, as I read it, comes
from a statement from a former advisor of his, Aeron Sheridan.
Aaron Sheridan is the one who makes the claim that
she saw the AI video. Remember this claim of an
(21:30):
AI video that Tom Lobianco wrote about that there's this
video that was in Beckworth's office of a state senator's
wife topless.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Right, and oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
And Aaron Sheridan said she saw it and she came
on to this station to make that claim. There comes
a moment where I have to ask, all of these
stories come from one person.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
It sounds like retribution.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I believe that there's an argument to be made against
Micah beck With being the Lieutenant governor and exposing his failure.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Based on him.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
But I've been told now about this video, this AI
video for months and there is no proof of it. Well, Tony,
you're never going to see proof of it, then, all
due respect, I have no way of proving it actually happened,
and I can discuss actual things that Michael beckw With
is doing, then I think are disqualifying. I do not
have to make them up or go about chasing down
(22:35):
what is clearly a ghost unless it's not show me
the video, show somebody the video. Now Aaron Sheridan going
to local outlets to say, oh this, oh that, I
wouldn't doubt that there was a written reprimand now I
(22:56):
think the question, of course is for the Senate pro
Tem to bring the reprimand if it came from the
set of pro tem, it should be public.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Well, now I.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Want to see it because what I would like is
the proof that it actually happened. Sheridan says that Becklett
dismissed it and said, well, actually the quote is the
Lieutenant Governor basically said too bad, So Sad, I'm going
to continue behaving that way, get used to it, and
(23:31):
I just about died.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I'm sorry, I'm going to put a stop to this.
This isn't news.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
There's plenty to discuss regarding the Lieutenant governor. There's plenty
of discuss regarding the Secretary of State to which the
Republican Party is backing, Diego Morales. I do not know
what is wrong with you, but you are wrong Republican Party, wrong,
time to be better at what you do, and I you,
(24:00):
as a matter of course, have serious issue that Aaron
Sheridan has been hired by Abdullah Quim Schabaz and Indie politics.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Does this make her now off limits? I question the
maneuver people can have jobs.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I question here she is telling a story that gets
repeated by this group, and now she gets hired by
someone within that group. I don't know what to do
with that information, and I don't know why in the
world I would stay silent about seeing something that in
any other parlance I would say, or any.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Other situation, I would say, that's peculiar. I have no
reason to call Aeron Sheridan a liar, and I am not.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
She says she saw the video. I just want to
see the video. She says, this thing happened. I want
proof of the things. Because we have so many provable things,
I don't need to add to it with things that
are now questioned.
So we're going to start building drones in Indiana. We're
going to start investing in drones in Indiana.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Drone creation.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Tony Katz, ninety three w IBC, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
What is going down?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
An executive order signed by Governor Mike Brown establishing the
Indiana Initiative for Drone Dominance.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Task Force the i I D d t F. Now
that's that's what I called it.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
An Indiana Initiative for Drone Dominance task Force asked to
develop a strategic plan leveraging the state's advanced manufacturing industry,
expertise for the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division, and
restricted airspace over assets including Camp Batterbury. I don't think
(01:13):
it's a bad idea. Drones are national security, drones have
economic impact, very very interesting that what we're seeing here. First,
you know, there was the conversation about nuclear in Indiana
(01:33):
and nuclear power. First, American Nuclear is going to establish
an energy park and manufacturing facilities.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
In the state.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
According to the Governor, of five thousand jobs will be coming,
high paying. I don't know what is necessarily meant by
high paying. So we're moving on nuclear and we're moving
on drone. These are the first moves that I have
seen that talk about level of smart growth, because what
(02:03):
has happened via the IEDC has been an outrageous hot
mess and the governor.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Should be made aware of that.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
The removal of the former members, the addition of these members.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I don't think any of them are bad people.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I am saying out loud that none of them are
in the industries that Braun is now going after. So
you've created this IEDC not to help you go out
there and get the business. The whole thing is peculiar.
But I like both of these moves. Someone in the
(02:37):
chat room says, a lot of work for the electrical
grid if we are putting nuclear online. Nope, And this
is really a conversation with the SMRs, the small modular reactors,
which at first and second look I fully favor. Certainly
more research to do, but it's a movement in a
(02:57):
direction that I think is valuable. But it doesn't answer
the question of why the change of the IUDC, and
what's the purpose of the IUDC.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
What's the purpose because right now I.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Don't see them going after anything. I see no growth.
What I see us is Indiana losing and losing quite
a bit.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's a problem. Keeping an eye on this.

The Popcorn Moment, Let's go, Let's go, let go, let's go.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
What we changed the opening?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
It is a better day here at Tony Katz in
the Morning News. Someone gave Carl control and he has
lost his dang mind just.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Telling you what happened.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
If you're upset with the new opening to the Popcorn Moment,
send your hate mail to Casey Daniels at yahoo dot com.
Carl will be sure to get it. You will be
sure to get it. A host of things that I
could have shared with you regarding the Popcorn Moment. Some
(05:41):
things to get into about this election that took place
on Tuesday and the Mamdani conversation the mayor elect of
New York. First, there was this from the Treasury Secretary,
Scott Bessett.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I left in twenty twenty build the Blasio chase me out.
I couldn't take it anymore. And yeah, I want to
congratulate the people who voted for Mondami and you know, welcome.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
To Caracas on the Hudson.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Welcome to Caracas on the Hudson. I don't know who's
going to be more responsible for the bump in Miami
real estate, Maduro or Mondami. And you know, I know
you've hedged. You've got an apartment in New York and
a house in Connecticut. I'm told that Connecticut realtors are
(06:32):
already very busy. And you know, look, I had thirty
thirty five great years in New York. I wish New
York the best, but I think that they've chosen the worst.
And people have to learn from experience.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
That they do that they do.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
The people of New York made a decision and they
have to live with that decision. I have seen Center
Jim Banks, the Attorney General, Todd roket To say, hey,
bring your business to Indiana. I want you to know
I absolutely favor this, and I was serious, and I
know that the governor's team listens. I absolutely will lead
(07:16):
that charge because I know how to speak New York.
So yeah, let me handle this. I could speak both languages. Now,
after eleven and a half years, I can do this. No, No,
you don't get to bring your politics with you.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
See, nobody I think could do a better job than
me in explaining why they should bring their business to Indiana.
And the last thing in the world you need is
to stay in New York. Oh, I think I could
explain it pretty good to people. You bring me good stuff,
(07:55):
you leave the bad stuff. We don't want to hear
about the bad stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
You think you have an idea, You ain't got no idea.
You never heard of an idea. You don't know nothing
about an idea. You never saw an idea before. Maybe
you weren't there, maybe you were in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You don't know. What you do know is you got.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
A nice business, and we think it would be nice
if nothing happened to it, but you were actually able
to grow it.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You should come to Indiana.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
We got a lot of lovely spots, believe it or not,
some very good pizza too. No no, no, trust me on this.
Don't don't insult me. Try the pizza, then you decide.
But those politics, No no, you can't bring that with you.
No no, you ain't got no room for that. No no, no,
you ain't gonna be able to bring that. You try
and bring that. We're gonna bring you to Illinois. So
don't you even try. Don't you even try that I
(08:35):
get Sylvia.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Over here, take care of everything. Good talk, good talk,
pleas your hut. I can do this. I am the
guy to do this. I was built for a purpose
and this is it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Car. I cannot believe Governor Brown has not called yet.
What are you doing all day?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Oh? Keeping an eye on these scandals of your governor?
All right? Maybe maybe no too soon? No, yes, ruling.
I think I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
We'll get into Michael Beckworth coming up in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
In a little bit, but there there. There's much more.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
About the the UH race that I want to get
to about what took place in New York, and I
really want to break down something some numbers that are
very important because I think a.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Lot of people are overreacting.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
But Bonnie on the live stream, you know, we live
stream over at YouTube YouTube dot com slash wibc.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Why do we need to crowd Indiana?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Okay, we are getting into it, and I think that
this is going to be you know, I've been talking
about doing more events and I am planning nine in
in twenty twenty six, large scale and small scale, like
some salon type events.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
And so I've had some farmers reach out. I will
get back to you, guys.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I want to do an event with you again, but
I want to do it in a public setting. I
think in this roundtable, small group, this question.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Is a big one. Why do we need to crowd Indiana?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It is obvious that we have a split in Indiana
regarding how we grow, and that there is a real
desire in certain pockets of the state not to grow.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
They don't want it.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
They want to stay allegedly wholesome. They want to stay
a more simple is the wrong word. I don't mean
that in a disparaging way. They don't want the things
that come with growth. Let's call it traffic. Now, they'll
(10:52):
lose out on the things that come with growth, like dollars.
I don't want to force some town somewhere in our
great state to take any business, but as a matter
of just existing, it is a radical idea to not
(11:14):
want to grow. And a state that were to state
we are not interested in growth is a state that
will be believed and it will be over. Part of
my issues is that I brought up the IDC earlier.
You make these moves to make Indiana a place that's attractive,
and you work on this, and you work on this,
(11:35):
and you work on this, and you're starting to see
results and interest and activity, and then pull.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
The plug as we have. It's very obvious that we have.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I think it's a huge mistake and this desire of well,
we don't need the IEDC. We should want groups within
the states to go out there and attract business. That's
different than whether or not we should be spending money
to get these businesses, whether or not we should have
these investment groups to invest in these businesses. That's a
(12:09):
different argument. But on the very basis, shouldn't we be
doing outreach, we shouldn't be. We shouldn't be selling our story.
I'm sorry. That is backwards. That is backwards thinking, and
that should be fought. We should be forward thinking. We
should say this is the place to be. We should
(12:32):
be the capital of the Midwest. We should plant our
flag and declare it so so, No, it's not crowding Indiana,
and look around, we've got room. I don't want to
get rid of farms. I'm saying we've got room. We
should be smart about our growth. We should be deliberate
(12:54):
about our growth, but we should grow. And I believe
that the people who think otherwise are wrong and the
long term detrimental that they would provide man that is
not better for your life, my life, for the life
of our kids. Today on the marketplace, I assume if
(13:15):
you wear this to a cults game, you will get arrested.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
That's my take.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning, Good to be
with you. During downtime, clearing my head, getting ready for
what's next on the show, I find myself on Facebook. Marketplace.
Cool stuff, odd stuff, unique stuff, crazed stuff is all

brought to you by Indiana Unclaimed dot Gov. Cash waiting

Live streaming on the YouTube YouTube dot com slash WIBC
and yes, chat room. The moon looked amazing this morning
if you haven't looked outside. My wife my youngest were
talking about it. Spectacular look at the moon this morning.
Speaking of moons, Matt Bear is on the live stream
Hello Tony.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Along with producer.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Carl And Now, I believe Matt Bear, that you are
a fan of the Indianapolis football cults.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I love the cult so much.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
So much, not just a little bit so much.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I watch every game.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
You watch all the games from the comfort of your
thirteen inch black and white TV.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah, it's it's poor. It's poor TV.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And I believe that you are also a fan of
Deadpool the movie.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah, oh it's funny, and.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
The and the comic strip.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Very adult, adult movie.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Right, the very adult.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And I heard that often when you're at home watching
the game, you are wearing your Deadpool mask.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I do, and.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
I do superhero like things, you know, I fly off
the balcon and go whoosh, right yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
You go whoosh, shush.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
This right here is an Indianapolis Cults Deadpool mask.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Okay, cool.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It's it's a mask that you wear over your head.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
And instead of being the red and black Deadpool, it's
in like a like a light gray and blue.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
And it's got the Colts logos on the side okay, and.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
It's got a Cold slogo in the back the back
of the head right there. So I assume that if
you wear this to a Colts game, you will immediately
be tackled by IMPD and arrested.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I hope not.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
This is at Tony Katz. I go to Facebook marketplace
and oh, this is a gip mask. Okay, Wow, well
it does look like a gip mask. You know, it's
got a little pool mask into it. Yeah, it's something
you would wear. And you know, it looks very very
body armor ish, and there are no air holes in
the nose or mouth that that kind of concerns made.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
It might be breathable.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
It might just be a breathable yeah, I just mean
wicking there are things here.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
I mean you might. It's just it looks uncomfortable to
put on your head.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Hold on Matt before anything. I just want I need
to say.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Hey, kids, be sure to ask your parents what a
gimp mask is.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It's good to know from them. They'll give you an
appropriate answer.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
And I think it's important.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I think it's important that not only that you ask
your parents.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
But when you when you ask them.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Uh you you you videotape the answer.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
So so we can have it.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Here for your first TikTok ever, just everyone's.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Going to learn. Everyone's going to learn, Matt Bear. This
mask is one hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Why why why that expensive?
Speaker 5 (16:56):
I mean, is it? Is it shipping free at least? No,
one hundred and twenty dollars of shipped. One hundred and
twenty dollars have shipped, one hundred dollars have picked up
in Peoria, Illinois.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Right, one hundred dollars if shipped, one hundred dollars have
picked up locally in Peoria.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Guy lives in Peoria, but he's a big Colts fan.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Yeah no, no, God bless him, thank you, thank you
for our city.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
No, I'm not in for this.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
I don't want to drive to Peoria, and I don't
want to suffocate, and I don't want to be a game.
So I have three reasons, three very good reasons not
to buy this mask.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Okay, I want to just say for the record that
Tony Kats today my midday show is on the air
in Peoria, Illinois. It's a fantastic city. It's with amazing people,
and I for one love them and I would drive
out there anytime they have.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Seventy four is a great interstate, and that's because of Peoria.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
But if you wear this mass to a cults game,
you are going.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
To get tackled by police.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
What's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
You're gonna get tackled by somebody.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Let's say that somebody's going to tackle you know.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
A dungeon, maybe somebody's basement.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Oh wow, you took it to a place, went back
to the game.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
I know what happens when you wear a mask like this.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I mean, from people to tell, from people to tell me,
and I just I'm trying to advise people that, you know,
it's it's a dangerous life.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
You know what happens when you wear a mask like this.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
It's it's like it's like I have a friend of
a friend who wore a mask like this one time,
and I haven't seen him in about two years.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
So that's almost.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
There's a lot to learn about Matt Bear, everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
The pole listing is over there at the Facebook marketplace.
Of the Facebook marketplace is over aret WBC dot com.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Be sure to check it out for yourself.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Tony Katz ninety three, WIBC, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I have stated before very.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Clearly that Micah Beckwith's political career is over. Of course,
the people of Indiana could somehow decide that he should
be lieutenant governor again or something else, and I will
sit there but.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Fuddled and baffled and confused.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
The lack of anything that I would argue that presents
him as someone.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
With a message that grows this state.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Completely missing from him, a total level of disconnect with
Hoosiers as a whole.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
But rather.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
It's about, hey, how can I be seen in this photo,
in this image, in this thing next. There's so much
of Lieutenant Governor Beckworth that I think is stagecraft as
opposed to theory and philosophy. Tony Katz ninety three WIBC,
(19:47):
good morning. Good to be with you. He cannot like me.
He doesn't like me. Fine, you got it. But I
think you're bad at your job, and I think that
you have embarrassed yourself. I think that you starting with
the idea of ninety thousand dollars trucks, we have the
right to say that's not what we want. I think
(20:10):
the idea that you are some kind of check or
balance to Governor Braun or to the General Assembly.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You've proven that's not the case.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
People voted for you in this big push to get
a different way of bringing in the lieutenant governor and
utilizing the system. And I don't know what they got.
I don't know what they got except for somebody who
takes a lot of photos and skinny jeans. Hey, man,
if you like them, you wear them. Who am I
to say? Right? You know, I can't get away with
skinny jeans, but you know, hey, if it works for you.
(20:45):
But I came across this story that you've seen people
talk about that Lieutenant Governor beck With received a written
reprimand from Roderi Bray, the Senate President pro Tem, this
back in February regarding posts an uncommon behavior presiding over
(21:08):
the Senate. The story here, as I read it, comes
from a statement from a former advisor of his, Aeron Sheridan.
Aaron Sheridan is the one who makes the claim that
she saw the AI video. Remember this claim of an
(21:30):
AI video that Tom Lobianco wrote about that there's this
video that was in Beckworth's office of a state senator's
wife topless.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Right, and oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
And Aaron Sheridan said she saw it and she came
on to this station to make that claim. There comes
a moment where I have to ask, all of these
stories come from one person.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
It sounds like retribution.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I believe that there's an argument to be made against
Micah beck With being the Lieutenant governor and exposing his failure.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Based on him.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
But I've been told now about this video, this AI
video for months and there is no proof of it. Well, Tony,
you're never going to see proof of it, then, all
due respect, I have no way of proving it actually happened,
and I can discuss actual things that Michael beckw With
is doing, then I think are disqualifying. I do not
have to make them up or go about chasing down
(22:35):
what is clearly a ghost unless it's not show me
the video, show somebody the video. Now Aaron Sheridan going
to local outlets to say, oh this, oh that, I
wouldn't doubt that there was a written reprimand now I
(22:56):
think the question, of course is for the Senate pro
Tem to bring the reprimand if it came from the
set of pro tem, it should be public.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Well, now I.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Want to see it because what I would like is
the proof that it actually happened. Sheridan says that Becklett
dismissed it and said, well, actually the quote is the
Lieutenant Governor basically said too bad, So Sad, I'm going
to continue behaving that way, get used to it, and
(23:31):
I just about died.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I'm sorry, I'm going to put a stop to this.
This isn't news.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
There's plenty to discuss regarding the Lieutenant governor. There's plenty
of discuss regarding the Secretary of State to which the
Republican Party is backing, Diego Morales. I do not know
what is wrong with you, but you are wrong Republican Party, wrong,
time to be better at what you do, and I you,
(24:00):
as a matter of course, have serious issue that Aaron
Sheridan has been hired by Abdullah Quim Schabaz and Indie politics.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Does this make her now off limits? I question the
maneuver people can have jobs.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I question here she is telling a story that gets
repeated by this group, and now she gets hired by
someone within that group. I don't know what to do
with that information, and I don't know why in the
world I would stay silent about seeing something that in
any other parlance I would say, or any.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Other situation, I would say, that's peculiar. I have no
reason to call Aeron Sheridan a liar, and I am not.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
She says she saw the video. I just want to
see the video. She says, this thing happened. I want
proof of the things. Because we have so many provable things,
I don't need to add to it with things that
are now questioned.
