This is National Works Zone Awareness Week.

I'm a victim of being ran over by a semi-while flagging.

The person wasn't paying attention, and they hit me with their vehicle.

I've seen an accident where we were the first people to walk up, and that picture will never leave my mind.

I've seen the people get hit before.

It's been horrible.

Construction zones on roadways and bridges are more than just cones and equipment.

They're the workplace for thousands of dedicated union laborers. Everybody has a family that they need to get back home to, so please just pay attention to us out here while we're working. We all have family, and I know it's a pain in the ass. We're trying to make the roads better for y'all. We're doing this for everyone. We're hardworking Hoosiers, just like you, and we all want to make it home safely. People would just take a couple seconds to pay attention. Be aware where we're at, where the cone zones are at. We're all in this together, and we're all just trying to be safe. This is Brian Short, business manager for the Indiana Labor's District Council. Everyone deserves a safe place to work. Do your part in the cone zone. Slow down, save a life. We're all in this together.

A message from Labor's International Union of North America and affiliated locals.

So we have the Indiana State Treasurer Daniel Elliott in just moments ago, and Alfi, the State House dog, was here.

And we were asking Allison, the social media accounts for Alfie, the State House dog.

And she couldn't remember.

That's okay.

But it is Alfie for Indiana, and that is the number four, ALFIE, the number four, the number four, Indiana. And Alfie's, Indiana, and that is the number four, ALF-I-E, the number four, Indiana.

And Alfie's on X, Facebook, and Instagram.

If you would like to smile today in regards to somebody who lives at the State House, the dog, the most popular person there.

I can't believe the dog has its own trading card. Well, yeah, of course. The dog has everything. Why wouldn't the dog have it? I'm going to put this on eBay as soon as we're done today. So the future, it's Casey and Brad, by the way. Good morning. And thank you for being here. The future of American defense undergoing a high-tech revolution. The Pentagon has awarded a multi-million dollar contract,

and this is to test out heavy-duty humanoid robots. Yes, you heard me right. This Pentagon contract,

it's a big one. It's $24 million, and part of this company is backed by Eric Trump. He's part of the startup. And so what we've got here is the future of warfare, not involving human lives. That's a nice thing, but it does involve robots. It's just like the Star Wars movies.

It is.

You're going to have robots fighting each other.

It's an extension of drones.
