| 0:00.0 | My name is WIBC. |
| 0:09.0 | My name is Craig Collins, filling in. |
| 0:11.4 | I'm thrilled to be with you in your midday show here on the station. |
| 0:15.8 | Lots of things going on. |
| 0:18.0 | The director of the White House Task Force for FIFA, his name is Andrew Gillian. He said, or Julian, I think, he said that it's going to be like 17 or 78 Super Bowls. I think the actual number was 78 Super Bowls. The World Cup will start here in the United States. |
| 0:36.6 | Matches will also be played in Mexico on Thursday. |
| 0:39.3 | I'm not a big soccer guy. |
| 0:41.6 | I don't think a lot of people that aren't in their, say, 20s or 30s or younger than that, |
| 0:47.3 | are big soccer people. |
| 0:48.6 | But I know the younger generations in our country, I wind up caring more and more about |
| 0:52.6 | this. |
| 0:52.9 | So here's a real quick piece of audio hyping up FIFA and the World Cup. I wind up caring more and more about this. So here's a real quick piece of |

| 1:06.4 | Chicago or anywhere all that close. Indy, I think maybe St. Louis, or Kansas City, I might be the closest you got to go to get to those matches. And I don't know how many people would travel to them. But here, let's play this first and then a little bit more on this. So it's going to be like 78 Super Bowls, both from the security perimeter, also from a counter-UAS perspective. So last year, five events in the United |
| 1:28.5 | States of America had counter drone measures. All 78 matches, including a fan fest in every |
| 1:34.2 | single city will have that. We want to make sure more than anything, this is going to be safe. |
| 1:38.8 | 78 different matches. I will have counter drone measures and all kinds of crazy stuff, which is interesting to me. |
| 1:47.0 | But will people go? Are people excited? Is that something that you're going to be paying attention to? |
| 1:52.1 | I think it also depends on how well the United States does. If they do well, if they wind up in at least a |
| 1:57.5 | quarterfinal, if not further into the World Cup than that, maybe people |
| 2:03.3 | will start paying attention. |
