• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I wanted to take a moment to discuss a story
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: that broke while I was gone for a couple of days.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good morning, And I don't
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: have an audio piece for it, but this is the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: popcorn moment.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: We got back the.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Story you need to hear to believe, and grab your
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: popcorn because there is more. And it was a tweet,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: a post from State Representative Andrew Ireland, who actually got
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to meet for the first time in.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Wayne a couple of weeks ago.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: He's calling on Ryan Mears, the Marion County Prosecutor, to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: launch an inquiry into the Hoghead administration.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Now, this is the story from Haley Colombo over.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: At The Indie Star and Emily Hopkins and Peter Blanchard
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: over at Mirror Indy. And this is about the Hogshead
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: administration and advancing interest behind closed doors, which is to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: say that it seems that the hog Set administration is
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: involved in Hey.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: If you've given a donation, will help you out. That's
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: that's how I take it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: The quid pro quo conversation taking place going into how
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen. When he first ran for office, hog
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Set was a guy focused on people who think that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: they can just you know, buy influence and they cheat
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the system and steal your tax dollars. Democrats have been
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: running on this for ten years, and then, of course
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: look at what it is that they do it all.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: It's always a fraudulent statement, but it discusses the idea
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of a machine, a political machine that hog Set has
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: donors get appointments to this and appointments to that, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you save me, Tonia.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: This happens in politics all the time.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Let's agree that we agree these things do happen in
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: politics all the time, and they're terrible and they're awful.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: The question before us is why don't we do something
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: about it?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Why don't we.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Do something about the inability to come back crime in Indianapolis.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Why don't we do something about the homeless issue. Why
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: don't we do something about the lack of prosecution. There
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: are so many subjects that we discuss where it's why
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: don't we do something? And then of course you're asked,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: why is it that we don't do something? I cannot
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: get the Indianapolis voter to change. I want to I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: need to, but right now they seem insistent on being fools.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm not.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Worried about whether or not people like what I have
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to say or don't pound sand and go screw it
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: means nothing to me.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Honesty will come forth.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Go on trolls say something else on social media, like
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I give a damn. But the subject where I have
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: been Voice number one is with the so called civic
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: leaders who say nothing zero, empty.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: They own the sports.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Teams, they have their names high on the buildings, they've
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: got the endowments and the foundations, and the city continues
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to crumble from the inside out and they say nothing.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And the only reason growth takes place in Indianapolis is that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: We do have excellent people.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: We've got the surrounding communities that could still make an
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: impact on this place.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And the state of Indiana, for the most part, is
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: pretty well run, though not perfectly run.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: None of it has to do with Indianapolis leadership at all.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Everybody's kidding themselves and full of crap if they think otherwise.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: We're going to dig into these stories.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: We're going to ask for the interviews with Peter and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Emily and Haley and what is it that was found,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: But in every conversation comes the backdrop of the so
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: called civic leaders. Where the hell are you and why
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: don't you give a damn about this city.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: You're the problem.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: We've got the wrong people, with the wrong buildings and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the wrong teams.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: It seems if they won't pay attention to the basics
