Good morning. It is Monday, April 17th. That is seven minutes after nine in your listening to Kendall and KC on 93 WIBC.

So it was a big weekend here in Indianapolis. Lots of people were gathering. Top Republican hopefuls for the 24 presidential race,

Valed Friday at the National Rifle Association's annual convention to defend the second amendment at all costs.

We had a big showing from a lot of big names. Trump, Pence, Ramaswamy, yes, they were practically. They came by the sevens to see Vivek,

Ramaswamy. He actually got a standing ovation, whereas Pence got booed, but we'll get into that. Yeah, that was the highlight of the event was Mike Pence getting booed,

but hey, he's going to be a make a fabulous candidate for president at KC. Yes, and obviously Trump spoke on Friday.

Now I did not get to see how traffic was impacted because I went the opposite. Yes, this hour is powered by Trump being at the NRA.

I went the opposite way of what I normally do. I normally go out down Washington street and I went the exact opposite way to 65,

but it looked like there was a rather lengthy robust line to see Trump give his little speech.

Yeah, I came in Friday morning and there were a lot more people milling around downtown. The normal traffic was heavier than typical.

It took me longer to get in. I did come down Washington, but when I left, I didn't notice a difference from the morning. Yeah.

So it was more people, but I didn't notice a bigger difference in the afternoon than in the morning.

So here is where I'm at with, and I think maybe where society is at with Trump when he comes to your community.

And I am excluding the people who are the only Trump diehard people, Trump rally person, you know, will go wherever, whatever.

But I'm saying like the average person. Remember when Trump, and I know you were living in South Bend area at the time of, I believe 2015, 2016.

So I, but I think he had rallies up there or around there came to the airport when he was here in Indianapolis.

It was can't miss a can't miss event. And you would go to these events as a member of the media. And, and this is how I knew Trump was going to win.

I would see people at these events who I knew were either longtime Democrats or apathetic political people or people who you kind of had no idea how they normally voted, which meant they're probably you can't peg them down.

And they are at this event and they are taking in the whole, the whole show. And the media was part of that as well.

It's like you got people camped out and people for, they're for hours ahead of time and you're sitting in this pit.

And it's this terrible existence as a member of the media, but you've got to be there because Trump is this can't miss television.

And I kind of get the feeling now that well, yes, it did get coverage because everything Trump does gets coverage.
