1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Hi, I'm Nigel. That's Jason Hammer over there with 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,399 Speaker 1: a very special guest on the hotline. 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 2: Back home again in Indiana. Just landing at the airport, 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 2: Senator Jim Banks, Senator. 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: How are you well? 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 3: Except for being a four to sixty five traffic I'm 7 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 3: doing well. It's great to be home, on my way 8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 3: back to Columbia City and looking forward to a quiet weekend. 9 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: So what's the latest on this little government shutdown deal? 10 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: Here we're in I believe what day number twenty three? 11 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 3: Now day twenty three. We just passed the second longest shutdown. 12 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 3: It just became the second longest shutdown. The longest shut 13 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 3: down ever was thirty five days. And my sense here, guys, 14 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 3: I mean, on a serious note, to Democrats trying to 15 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 3: break the record. They want they want chaos, they want disruption, 16 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 3: and they want Donald Trump to take the blame for it. 17 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 3: But I don't think Hoosiers are falling for it. I 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 3: don't think, at least I'm not hearing from anybody in 19 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 3: Indiana who thinks this is Republicans or Donald Trump's fault. 20 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 3: They know it's it's Chuck Schumer and Democrats who have 21 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 3: caused this shutdown. So that at the end of the day, 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 3: President Trump and Secretary headset they're doing everything that they 23 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 3: can to make sure that our troops are being paid. 24 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,839 Speaker 3: But the disruption for federal employees and what this does 25 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 3: at airports and the long term effect of it and 26 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 3: what it does to our country is significant, and it 27 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 3: all lays at the feet of Chuck Schumer and the Democrats. 28 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: And I feel like this kind of just shows the 29 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: difference between the parties here and you're right center. There 30 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: are people affected, and I want to make sure that 31 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: the military gets their paycheck. But I think for most 32 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: of the people in our audience listening to this show 33 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: haven't really had that much of an effect in their 34 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: personal lives with the government shutdown. I think that speaks 35 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: to conservatism as opposed to on the other side, where 36 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: they want the govern are meant to be, you know, 37 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: involved in every single thing you do. 38 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, the government is so massive and bloated in Washington, 39 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 3: d C. We can do with a lot less of it, 40 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: And that's definitely part of it. But when you start 41 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 3: talking about paying our troops and think about the twenty 42 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 3: three year old and listed sailor who's got a baby 43 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 3: at home, and trying to put food on the table. 44 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 3: That's who's really affected in all of this, not to 45 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 3: mention the seventy six hundred flights that have been delayed 46 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 3: since Sunday because of air traffic controllers who are working 47 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 3: without pay and calling in sick, and you know the 48 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 3: morale that that causes for some of the federal services 49 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 3: that we do rely on. But remember what this is 50 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 3: all about. The Democrats are demanding a trillion dollars to 51 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 3: extend the COVID era Obamacare subsidies. That's their demand. They 52 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 3: want to spend their demanding the Donald Trump come to 53 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: the table and added trillion dollars to the spending package 54 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: when we're already thirty seven thirty eight trillion dollars in 55 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 3: national debts. So uh and as as you, you guys 56 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 3: and I have talked about many times, we spend more 57 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 3: just to pay the interest on our national debt every 58 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: year than we spend on the entire budget of the Pentagon. 59 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 3: And Democrats want to spend even more and send us 60 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: into debt. And uh cause that kind of those kind 61 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 3: of issues as well. But COVID, COVID has been over 62 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 3: for a long time. We don't need to extend covid 63 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: era Obamacare subsidies. We need we need to we need 64 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 3: to be fiscally responsible. And that what that's what Donald 65 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: Trump is fighting for. 66 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 1: How long could they hold out? Like, what's what's the timeline? 67 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: What do you think? 68 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 3: Well, I think there's a lot of a lot of 69 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: considerations here. They they they think that the longer they wait, 70 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 3: you go into open enrollment uh season, and healthcare premiums 71 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 3: start going up. They they're gonna they want people to 72 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: be hurt so that they can claim some kind of 73 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: some kind of victory. But something like a government shutdown, 74 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 3: I means who feels the pain politically when Democrats feel 75 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: the pain because people are saying enough is enough, that 76 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 3: that's when that's when it will come to an end. So, 77 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: but I think they want they want Donald Trump to 78 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 3: They want to pin the blame on Donald Trump. It's 79 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 3: not working. They want this to be disruptive and painful 80 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 3: for everybody but themselves. Chuck Schumer is saying things on 81 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: the floor about how this this gets better for Democrats 82 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 3: every day. Well that that's that's stumbing his nose at 83 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 3: the American people and and uh just completely ignoring the 84 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: pain that this causes to be the people who matter most. 85 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 3: The most important federal government employees are those who wear 86 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: the uniform, and they're they're the ones who are who 87 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 3: are going to suffer the most because of Chuck Schumer 88 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 3: and the Democrats. 89 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: Speaking with Senator Jim Banks here on the Hammer in 90 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: Nigel Show, some of their speaking of those who wear 91 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: the uniform, I gotta be honest, I love these attacks 92 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 2: on the narco boats, the narco terror, the drug boats 93 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 2: coming from Venezuela, maybe parts of Columbia. I told Nige 94 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: if there were a red zone channel of just these 95 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: drug boats getting blown up, I'd sit down and watch 96 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: that bad boy for hours. But what's wild is you 97 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: got people on social media and even members of Congress 98 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 2: who have become Team Venezuelan drug dealers just because it's 99 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: something that Donald Trump administration is doing. 100 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, some even some Republicans who are trying out and 101 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 3: who are upset about it. And when Donald Trump to 102 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: knock it off, I say, I'm just like you, I say, 103 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 3: have ad it. I mean, Donald Trump's Article two powers 104 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 3: give him the most important thing that the commander in 105 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 3: chief does is to keep the homeland safe and secure 106 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: and that's what he's doing by taking out these narco 107 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: terrorists who are flooding America with drugs. They're killing Americans, 108 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: killing the American people. So I'm all for it. I 109 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: believe what he and Secretary Heick sith theyre doing. By 110 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 3: the way, they're moving fifteen to twenty percent States Navy 111 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 3: into the Caribbean to do this, and we need a bigger, 112 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 3: stronger United States Navy that Donald Trump is focused on 113 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: building that's versatile enough to beat China but also to 114 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 3: go to places like the Caribbean and keep America safe 115 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 3: right here at home. And I'm all for what they're doing. 116 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 3: I'm I'm never going to complain about that. 117 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: Senator Jim Banks on the Hammer of Nigel Show last weekend, 118 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: the No Kings protests taking place, I find it odd 119 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: that these people that are out there that protesting billionaires. 120 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: We don't like the rich, we don't like billionaires, but 121 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: yet the No Kings protests are being funded by billionaires 122 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: along with that Donald Trump. It was all, you know, 123 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: we hate Donald Trump, we hate billionaires. What was the 124 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: point of those protests last weekend and were they effective? 125 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm laughing because you see these evil dress and costumes, 126 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 3: and they're ridiculous signs and just all of I mean, yeah, 127 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 3: there's so much irony and hypocrisy on the left, and 128 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 3: their marketing really sucks. I mean, No King's marketing. I 129 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 3: don't know, guys, but I'm not very intimidated by it. 130 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 3: Neither neither's President Trump. I mean, if we really did 131 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: have a king, he'd be he would be rounding up 132 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 3: all these people and throwing them in jail for protesting 133 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: against them. And yet we live in the greatest country 134 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: in the history of the world where you can you 135 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: can protest, you can even look ridiculous when you're doing 136 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 3: it like these No Kings protesters do. That's what makes 137 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 3: this country great. And I don't think most people. I mean, 138 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: but that the CNN, MSNBC, all these left wing outlets 139 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 3: trying to make this sound like this was some massive protests, 140 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 3: but I'm not seeing it, I'm not feeling it. Indiana 141 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 3: stands with President Trump. He's keeping America safe and secure, 142 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 3: securing our border, making us economically secure once again as well. 143 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 3: There's a lot of stake here and I fully support 144 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 3: what President Trump is doing. They can't even explain what 145 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 3: they they can't even explain what it means. What's the 146 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: noteki that these these protesters and left wingers they can't 147 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: even explain what it means. So it's hard for me 148 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 3: to explain what it means. 149 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 2: Either you're right and the marketing was bad. And if 150 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: you have a lot of people, that's fine, But if 151 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: it's a lot of people dressed as cartoon characters walking 152 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: around in diapers, you're not going to win anybody over, right, 153 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 2: That's kind of uh, it feels like it defeats the purpose. 154 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: Speaking of ridiculousness, I have seen so many people just 155 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: losing their minds that Donald Trump's doing construction at the 156 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 2: White House. Now, Senator, I'm old enough to remember when 157 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 2: Barack Obama built the basketball court over the tennis Court's 158 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: construction at the White House isn't anything new, But because 159 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: Donald Trump wants to do it, it's become like Defcon five. 160 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, if it was any other president, these all these 161 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 3: democrats and talking heads would before it. But Donald Trump 162 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: is a builder. I mean, actually was at the White 163 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: House this week. I saw the construction in progress, and 164 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 3: this ballroom is going to be beautiful, And I believe 165 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 3: I would bet my Starbucks card, the JD. Vance is 166 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 3: going to be the next president and he and his 167 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 3: family are going to live in the White House and 168 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 3: they're going to love it. And then hopefully Marco Rubio 169 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 3: is the president after that and his family's going to 170 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: love it. And maybe in twenty or thirty years, maybe 171 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 3: another Democrat will get elected to the White House again. 172 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 3: If he does, it'll be because their party isn't crazy 173 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 3: and nuts like they are today. Then that Democrat family's 174 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 3: going to love it too. I mean, this is a 175 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 3: great addition that's going to make the White House more beautiful. 176 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 3: And these big events that would be hosted in this ballroom, 177 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 3: like state dinners and other events like that, they're going 178 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 3: to appreciate it. And they're going to praise Donald Trump 179 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 3: for it in the future, but they're going to complain 180 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: about it right now because that's that's how crazy they are. 181 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 3: I've seen the plans for it. But by the way, 182 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 3: I've been in the new the renovated Rose Garden three 183 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 3: or four times now shooting this week for launching it. 184 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 3: It's beautiful as well. I mean, this is something President 185 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 3: Trump has a real talent for. And before he was president, 186 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 3: all the same people who complain about, and today were 187 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: in you know, would hang out with them and enjoyed 188 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 3: mar A Lago and all the Trump hotels, the Trump properties, 189 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 3: Trump Tower in New York. I mean, this guy has 190 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 3: a real talent for building beautiful buildings, and he's making 191 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 3: the White House an even more beautiful and special place 192 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 3: than what it was before. And I think I think 193 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 3: in the future they're gonna they're gonna get there. They're 194 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 3: not gonna complain about in the future because they're gonna like. 195 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 2: It, right. And the thing that we've talked about is 196 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 2: it's not like Trump is going to be taking this 197 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 2: with him when he leaves. This is there for like 198 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: everybody to use, and he's paying for it, right. 199 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. I like some of the memes online, like the 200 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 3: Trump Tower and on top of the White House. I 201 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 3: saw that from the Trump name on top of it. 202 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 3: And then I mean, these Democrats are just They're just crazy. 203 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 3: What a dumb thing to complain about at a time 204 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: like like this. And by the way, it's all being 205 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 3: privately funded, not a single taxpayer dollars going into doing that. 206 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 3: Went about all their renovations from Obama and other presidents 207 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 3: were publicly funded, taxpayer dollars is privately funded and it's 208 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 3: going to make the White House even better. 209 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 2: Senator, last thing here before we let you go, We 210 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: want to be respectful of your time, but pretty big 211 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 2: debate about changing the congressional map here in Indiana. I 212 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 2: know jd Vance, the Vice President's been here a couple 213 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: of times. We believe a phone call from President Trump 214 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 2: has come in hearing a lot of chatter that the 215 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: Senate Republicans here don't have the votes to do this. 216 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: They can't get on the same page. I'm just curious 217 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: as to your perspective on all of this. 218 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 3: Well, I saw I saw miss Daniel's editorial in the 219 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 3: Washington Post, which is an interesting place to speak to Hoosiers. 220 00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 3: But he and Pete Bouda Judge, and all these Democrats 221 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 3: they hate Donald Trump. So because Donald Trump's for it, 222 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 3: they hate, they hate, they hate that they're pushing for it. 223 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 3: You saw the Democrats in Virginia announced today that they're 224 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 3: going to redraw the maps Democrats in Virginia to create 225 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 3: more Democrat districts in Virginia. California is going to is 226 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 3: read is read districting to create more Democrat districts in California, 227 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 3: and then you go back and look at what the 228 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 3: Democrats did to manipulate the census to create more Democrat 229 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 3: congressional districts and give them the edge. It's hard hard 230 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 3: for me to understand why anybody would be against the 231 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 3: Indiana legislature going through a legal process to redraw the 232 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 3: districts so that a Republican state like Indiana has more representation, better, 233 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 3: better representation in Washington, d C. And And that that's 234 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 3: what Donald Trump is calling for. I mean, planned by 235 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 3: the planned by the rules, and Jade Vance when I 236 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 3: was with them, I flew, I flew with jd a 237 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago to Indiana. He made this case 238 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 3: all for a constitutional amendment that says that you can 239 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 3: only draw the districts every ten years. But we don't 240 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 3: have that. And the Democrats are playing games, and they're 241 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 3: they're uh, they're they're they're they're doing this to create 242 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 3: an advantage for them. And what's gonna happen if if 243 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 3: Mitch Daniels and Pete Bootage Edge and the Indian Democrat 244 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 3: Party get their way and they don't redraw the district 245 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 3: lines and Democrats win the majority in the House of Representatives. 246 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 3: What are they going to do for the next two years. 247 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 3: They're going to impeach Donald Trump again. I think that's 248 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 3: what they all want. They're gonna impeach Donald Trump. They're 249 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 3: going to disrupt the progress that we're making for our country. 250 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 3: That that's what these people. There's a reason that Democrats 251 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 3: don't want this to happen in Indiana because they they 252 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 3: know that that that that this time we've caught on 253 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 3: to their games and their shenanigans and and uh in Indiana, 254 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 3: there's a real case to make to do it. 255 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: Senator Jim Banks, enjoy your time back home here in 256 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 2: Indiana and we'll chat again soon. 257 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 3: Thank you, Thank you, have a good day. 258 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 2: It's the Hammer and Nigel Show.
