• 1:41
  Speaker 1: exactly what we said, we were correct.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: This isn't about the resignation of Kure Starmer, the Prime
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Minister of the United Kingdom, who will stick around to
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the Labor Party elects a new prime minister and they
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: may go even further left. They're already attacking free speech,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: they're already allowing mass grason. They've already said they have
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: no interest in defending the nation. That's why the Defense
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Minister resigned, and they're going to continue to not learn.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: This isn't about the Republican nomination of Max Ingling to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Secretary of State to go up against bo by in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that race for Secretary of State. You may have Greg
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Ballad in it, you've got libertarians in it. What's gonna happen.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna break that down at seven forty five. No,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: this is about a TV anchor by the name of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Dustin Nolan.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know Dustin, don't know him at all, but.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Dustin Nolan, I think he out Iowa decided he was
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: done with being a broadcaster. I've had enough, That's what
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: he said. And in his address to his audience, he said, why.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll try to get through this well. Before we
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: go this morning, I have an announcement. Today is my
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: last day here at KOPQCTV six. I have chosen to
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: step away from the news industry. Before I say goodbye,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I just want to say I hope every one of
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: you that's allowed me to be a part of your
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: mornings know just how important that I have taken this job,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: how much it means to me that you trust you
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: trusted me these past few years to bring you the
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: news in the morning. I promise you I've given you
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: everything I have. I've never tried to be perfect or
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: what many think a newsman should is supposed to be,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: but I've always done my best to be transparent, bringing
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: you the facts, and I've always been myself. I've loved
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: being able to provide a public service to this place
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: we all call home, the Quiet Cities. When it comes
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: to this job, all I've ever wanted to do is
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: report on the issues that really matter. I've always believed
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: that we as a local news station, owe you, the viewers,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: the best that we can do, because without you, none
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: of us would be able to do this job. I
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: also believe that we as a local news station, have
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: to be more than trends or sanitize news because it
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: makes people feel uncomfortable. That's why the facts matter, and
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: that's why we do what we do here. We have
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: to take people out of their bubbles and comfort zones
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: and make them think about the world we all live in.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: And this is a bittersweet goodbye. Yes, I'm looking forward
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: to my.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Next chapter.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: In life, but it's not easy to say goodbye. The
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: hardest part of this job for me is the realization
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: that I won't be working with Jenna anymore because she
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: isn't just the greatest go anchor.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Nice and emotional.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And he's leaving, but he's not leaving because he's tired
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of the job. He's leaving because he's tired of journalism
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and what it has become. Sanitize news, the idea that
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a story is told for the sake of the story
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that people want to tell and not for the news
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that the story is, and then people make up their
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: own minds. I have been very clear from the beginning,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: from the very start of this career, which at the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: end of this month will be twelve years.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Here in Indianapolis, I don't do news.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I do commentary. Sometimes we break news, but I do
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: commentary on the news. The news department does news, and I,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: for the reasons that Dustin Nolan is discussing.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Here, could never do that.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I could not be an anchor on any day, to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: not have my own voice, to not be able to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: share things the way that I see them, to not
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: be able to put things together, not be able to
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: say that's what the conventional wisdom says, I'm over here,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: that's not the actual story. Here's the actual data points
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I put forth to you that we put on this show,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: more news out on a daily basis of data than
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the vast majority of news outlets.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Even where we live right here in Indianapolis. I get it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine wanting to do something in your whole
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: career only to find out you don't get to do it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: That's gotta be awful. I wonder if this is a trend.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I wonder if this is something that's going to grow,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: or the money's good in the north of the gigs
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: out there. So I leave and you get recognized, you know,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: sometimes you get a good parking spot, so that's cool.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, some people actually want to be able to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: do the job, and when they can't, what's the point.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I respect the hell out of that. All the best
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to Dustin Nolan.
