The governor of Indiana yesterday made a public statement after the bear statement saying we welcome them and that we're a very pro-business state.

The mayor of Hammond said he'll make land available, and I'm sure there'll be other communities.

No, no, that's not the order of things.

That's not the way these things are sequenced.

And this is why this is... I look at what's going on here, and I'm thinking, there has to be something that we're not seeing here, guys, because...

I look whether the bears are asking for too much or too little, whether they're putting up enough or not enough.

That's not where I'm focused.

I'm focused on that one sentence where they're saying they're not going to make it a priority.

The state leadership will not make it a priority in all of 2026.

That's the sentence I'm focused on.

That is wrong.

I will say that again.

That is wrong.

And there needs to be if we're saying that our state is so flush that we don't want to have what we're saying, we're not going to talk about a two or three billion dollar investment and all the construction jobs that would result from that.

Are we are we in that great of a condition?

We won't even talk about it.

We won't even make it a priority.

Our legislative leaders won't even do that.

I don't get that.

There's something else at play here.
