Who paid for those tickets provided to Morales and Beckwith? That odd picture of Micah Beckwith and Diego Morales has immersed the Lieutenant Governor in the middle of Diego’s “Who Paid For” scandals. Didn’t Beckwith know how toxic Morales is?

Tony Katz:  

First, you don’t care when there is no reporting. People will search out any data they can find. I am very clear about the fact that I’m not a reporter. I do commentary. I engage with, with thoughts and philosophy. I wear fancy watches. I do the thing that I do. The lack of reporting in Indianapolis has led people in different directions and if IndyStar or the news outlets want to argue that they do a lot of reporting, you could argue it. But that is that is not true. You have moments. Even the IndyStar has world class spectacular moments that should be recognized and respected. But more often than not, it’s just schlock. It’s silliness. It’s left-wing nonsense. It’s nothing serious. Certainly, you’re unwilling to put a microphone into Joe Hogsett’s face unless people like us at WIBC mention enough and mention enough and mention enough that Hogsett is unfit for office. And my God, look what he did to these women and look at those staffers he hired who did things to women. Why aren’t we doing something about this? I don’t know the people at Indie Reporter. Don’t know them at all. I’m not saying you should take everything they say as a fact. I think you should do your own research. But it was an interesting photo at the Pacers game. There’s Diego Morales, the Secretary of State, and Micah Beckwith, the Lieutenant governor. You know, arm in arm, right arm over the shoulder and taking a picture.

And you’re like, does Micah Beckwith not understand the room? Or is it that, you know, we’re only Central Indiana we don’t understand northern and southern Indiana. They’re all fine with Diego Morales, which is what I get told from time to time. But they did a whole look into how they got these tickets right out.

How does Diego pay for anything? India, Hungary, all the all this stuff. And I know he had to run in with Rob Kendall. I’ll let Rob talk about that at 9:00.

Some story about how the guy who got on the tickets. Um has got uh, has uh, pled guilty to committing bribery, spent 14 months in jail, paid a fine, was on supervised release, arrested for arson, insurance fraud and theft. Um, and owns a building that hosts drag shows.

First of all, of everything that’s the least important. If it’s something for adults, I don’t get involved. Now, certainly you can ask why Micah Beckwith or Diego Morales would take tickets from this guy. That’s a legit question. Um, but maybe more to maybe more to the point is these other things. Why? What is the connection here? Is there a connection here? Just because something is reported doesn’t mean that it’s all on the up and up. This is put out there. I don’t mind questions being asked. But for the people at the Indy Reporter, just a note, man, you better have it because when you make an allegation like this and about this, this guy who owns this building and bought the tickets specifically, if this isn’t on the up and up, man, that’s your credibility. But if it’s on the up and up, this is how people. Come, you know, respected reporters. And if it is true indeed as we look into it. I wonder if any of the other so-called news outlets in Indianapolis would have ever come close to figuring this out, or if they would have even cared. That’s my question. So, you could check the stories for yourself. I’m not gonna deny that they exist. I’m only gonna say in the you gotta, you gotta look into these things on your own 1000% check, double check and recheck. It’s a new group on the scene. They’ve done some things before. We’ve shared some of their stuff before, but this is one heck of an allegation here. I mean, they lay it out. They lay it out; they lay it out with them with a whole bunch of information. But I would like to go back to the first part. Micah Beckwith, you’re taking pictures with Diego Morales.

So, you don’t think he’s toxic? OK, that’s good to know.
