There are thousands of hurting children in Indiana. They are in the child welfare system due to abuse or neglected home. They struggle in school due to life trauma or challenges and they face mental health issues. At child advocates, we serve foster children. We help children succeed in school and we host workshops to create collaborative workplaces and caring communities and to nurture a sense of

belonging for all children and youth. We seek justice, access to opportunity, and well-being for

children. Learn more at child advocates.net. We are going to stop these politicians from screwing

us if it's the last thing we do, Casey. Yeah, we're going to try anyway. We're going to throw

every everything we have. We're going to throw every, every, every thing we have.

We're just going to keep throwing things at the walls, seeing what sticks.

And I think this next segment, I think, is going to be pretty darn enlightening on how just, just how ridiculous these politicians are.

And what we've got to do to get them in line okay

and our old pal ryan hedrick newsman extraordinaire from the w iBC newsroom joins us now

ryan hedrick hello what's up rob what's up casey hello now you are quite open that you

struggled for many years with drug addiction yep and you do a very fabulous very fabulous podcast with Matt Baer supporting sobriety, which can get wherever

you get your podcast, where you walk people through your experiences, things that you

learn, things that you wish you'd been able to do better and hopefully help people who

are struggling with addiction.

Yeah, it's a blueprint for caregivers not to get manipulated and tormented like we

tormented, our parents, our loved ones.

I mean, I had this conversation with my mom the other day, and the level of stuff that I

put her through really could have ended her life early with all the stress and stuff like that. So it's a

blueprint. You know, it's a tutorial for caregivers to say, I don't have to accept it. There's a way

out and there's help for you. And so these politicians are addicted to power. They're addicted to,

I don't know, fame is the right word, but they're addicted to people. No variety.

Thank you.
