| 0:00.0 | Last segment of the show, and I just, man, I hate to do this because it just, it breaks my heart |
| 0:04.0 | what this place has become because I've just so many awesome memories there. More violence |
| 0:10.7 | in Broadriple last night. So I mean, we're not, you know, we're the other night. And we're talking |
| 0:17.4 | about this was four people shot Sunday morning, and it is just a reoccurring theme, you know, |
| 0:27.0 | of, and this is again, it's an older story, but, but it goes back to violence in and around |
| 0:34.1 | the city of Indianapolis. And yes, again, this is an older story, but it's a reoccurring thing about |
| 0:39.3 | violence in Broadriple and what's been happening. And how do we get a handle on this? Because it's |
| 0:45.6 | part of a broader conversation of this city and how we bring this city back and how we fix |
| 0:54.0 | what is broken to make it what it could be and what it once was. And what I know is, and this |
| 1:01.6 | is what I struggle with, right? What I struggle with is I know the proposals. I know Joe |

| 1:33.1 | become, there used to be safe havens. And I remember when I was actively out and about, we kind of |
| 1:41.0 | used to joke with ourselves because every year the cops would flush the bad guys either out of |
| 1:46.4 | downtown to Broadriple or out of Broadriple to downtown. So you just alternated, you're in and |
| 1:51.9 | you're out where you did your drinking and hung out with your buddies at and had a good time |
| 1:55.9 | because you knew, hey, this place is going to be safe this year because the cops are really stepping |
| 2:00.3 | it up there and they're not going to let anything happen there. And the next year, okay, we'll be |
| 2:03.1 | back here. There's nowhere safe to go anymore. There's nowhere, Ethan, in the city where I would |
| 2:09.2 | walk around going, I feel very safe. And that should not be happening because Indianapolis should be |
| 2:17.9 | capable. We have the resources. We have the police force. We have the people who want to fix this |
