Ambduel's 26 00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: gonna be with us later. He's got a big old 27 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: update on ai Porngate. Craig Haggard is going to be 28 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: here with us. He had a big announcement last night 29 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 2: and we got a lot to get to. But first 30 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 2: the folks, the rank and file case, they are jumping 31 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: off the ship when it comes to redistricting. 32 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. 33 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 4: Yesterday Representative Jim Lucas said that he was a hard 34 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 4: no on redistricting. 35 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: That I guess we got to like Lucas for today. 36 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 2: We gotta agree with Jim Lucas. Boy, that really puts 37 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: me in a bad spot, doesn't it. Well, Okay, so 38 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: Lucas came out he's a no Haggard who will talk 39 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: to later, he said, he's a no. Danny Lopez. Now 40 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: these are all on the House side said there's no. 41 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 2: I believe there's at least one senator that said there's 42 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 2: a no. You're starting to see And we'll get to 43 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 2: this with Jim Merritt a little bit later on in 44 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 2: the hour because he's been through several of these redistrictings. 45 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: This is a colossal lift for the Flanders boys bray 46 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: in Houston. If you think back to when jd Vance 47 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: came to last week and the media got that quick 48 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: film of those guys walking out of that meeting, there. 49 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: Were no smiles. 50 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: They did not look like they were happy to be 51 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: there because they recognize we are asked to be political stooges. Now, 52 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: normally there are the ones asking for people to be 53 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 2: or demanding people be the stooge. But it's a rare 54 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: position where they are being pressured to be subservient to 55 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: something they get nothing out of. 56 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 3: It's it's interesting. 57 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 4: Now you've got the Indiana House Democrats heading to Chicago 58 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 4: and they're holding a press conference there with the Texas Democrats. 59 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 4: They said that they're going to have a press conference 60 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 4: today at one point thirty in Chicago. 61 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a you can look. 62 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: You can always count on in the Indiana Democrats to 63 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: do the dumbest thing imaginable, Like you can always count 64 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 2: on them to do the dumbest thing imaginable, which is 65 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 2: just duck and cover. In this case, I'm going to say, 66 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 2: the smartest thing in this case would be just duck 67 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: and cover. You don't align yourself with anyone you're going 68 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 2: to score political points. If the Republicans do this, you're 69 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: going to alienate and enthus a whole bunch of people 70 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: otherwise don't normally even maybe vote. And all you gotta 71 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: do is just criticize the Indiana Republicans and point out 72 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: why it's bad. Mat thought Mitch gor did a very 73 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: nice job of that yesterday, Democrat representative, and you'll look 74 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 2: like the good guys, the bigger people. Instead, you're sprending 75 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: to Illinois, have you, Seno Illinois, Jerry manderd. 76 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we've talked about it. How there's that 77 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 4: little section in the middle of the state. 78 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're going to a far left radical bastion. 79 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: And it's not even like nobody cares in. 80 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: Indiana about what's going on in Texas. They care about 81 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: what's going on here. And if they had shown this 82 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: sort of enthusiasm for I don't know, property tax reform, right, 83 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: if they've shown this sort of enthusiasm for I don't know, 84 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: demanding transparency on how the super sketchy Secretary of State 85 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: to India for ten days and we won't tell anybody who 86 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: voted or who paid for it. Thing, have that enthusiasm 87 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: for stuff that resonates with people. 88 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: Here, Okay. 89 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 4: And then we consider what Governor Braun said that he 90 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 4: was going to see how things worked out in Texas 91 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 4: before he was making a commitment on either side. 92 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 3: Whether they're going to call a special session or not. 93 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 4: So it almost makes you think that this is all 94 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 4: just a show for. 95 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 2: Texas well Braun, Braun. It's amazing to me that Braun 96 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 2: is petrified to ever make a definitive statement. You think 97 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 2: about the property tax thing, and if you like, you 98 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 2: look at that in hindsight. Sure, he rolled out a 99 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: quote unquote plan, But do you really feel like, throughout 100 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 2: the course of the property tax debate, looking at it 101 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: in hindsight, that he was making definitive statements like do 102 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 2: you think if Ron DeSantis had been our governor the 103 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 2: property tax thing would have gone the way it went? 104 00:04:58,839 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: No, of course not. 105 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 4: Well. Ron Desantas has been on the record saying no, 106 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,119 Speaker 4: I want to get rid of him. 107 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: Braun is phenomenal at going through the motions on everything. 108 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: What is the thing that you say Braun really led 109 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 2: on it? If he was a bulldog and if he 110 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: hadn't been there, this wouldn't have got Can you think 111 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: of anything. 112 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 4: If you look right now at the Braun administration, all 113 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 4: of his big wins have been with the. 114 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 3: Help of the federal government. 115 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 4: Sure, rfk Junior here for the MAHA movement, Lee Zelden 116 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 4: here for the energy announcement. 117 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not for us Kadie Vance is here too. 118 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: Everything has been with the help of the. 119 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: Federal government, right, And those aren't things that are for us, 120 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 2: they're for the nation or promoting things that are national. 121 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 2: Braun is so weak. Braun is embarrassingly weak. Holcombe was 122 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 2: a gutless coward, but in terms of putting his boot 123 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 2: on people and making things happen, he was damn good 124 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: at it. 125 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: Braun. Those guys somebody told me this. 126 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: Yesterday, two days ago. All these days run together now, 127 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 2: and it's absolutely true. 128 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: They said. 129 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: The biggest problem for Braun one I think Braun is 130 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 2: actually pretty weak. 131 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: That's an issue. 132 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 2: You are who you are, but you surround yourself with 133 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: the people who are what you are. And he has 134 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: a bunch of weak people around him. Look, I'm just 135 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: going to say this out loud because it's the best 136 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: kept secret in the state House. Josh Kelly, his chief 137 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 2: of staff, doesn't know his head from his ass. Josh 138 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: Kelly has no business being in that position, is no 139 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 2: business helping run the state of Indiana. He doesn't know 140 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 2: what he's doing. The people they put around them don't 141 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 2: know what they're doing. And Braun has been led astray 142 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: over and over and over again by people like Josh 143 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 2: Kelly who can't get the job done, and he gets 144 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: bad advice and he's clearly not capable of seeing through it, 145 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: and as a result, he can't ever make a definitive statement. 146 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: Just say what you want to do, if you don't 147 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 2: want to do it, if you think it's bad, which 148 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 2: is the right answer, and you don't think that your 149 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: caucus is going to support, or if you don't think 150 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 2: the reward has worked the risk for your state. Look 151 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 2: jd Vance right in the eyd say thank you for 152 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: your trip, mister Vice President. I respect you, but I 153 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: respectfully tell you this is not right for Indiana. And 154 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 2: then we're done. What are they going to do to you? 155 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: It's a super Republican state. Is Trump gonna withhold money 156 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: from you? 157 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: No, of course not. 158 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: But you have people who are in these positions because 159 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: they want to be in the position, not because they 160 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 2: want to do what's right. They want the title rather 161 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 2: than the reward of doing what's right for the people. 162 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: And thus you get well we'll see what Texas does. Yeah, well, 163 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: look at what Texas does. 164 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 4: Jim Lucas said he doesn't believe Republicans should stoop to 165 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 4: the level of Democrats on this issue. Republicans hold about 166 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 4: ninety percent of all local offices statewide. And you know 167 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 4: it's interesting. Rick Snyder even puts something out today, President 168 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 4: of the FOP.

It's so 386 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 2: fascinating that they are equating positive governance with how much 387 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 2: money we can throw at it. You could probably police 388 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 2: and secure the city for much less than the mount 389 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 2: they're actually throwing at it. It's they're judging the value 390 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 2: of what they're doing by how much of your money 391 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 2: they're giving to something, not the results with it. You 392 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,719 Speaker 2: notice it never really gets tangibly better. They keep throwing 393 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 2: more money at it for the same result. If you 394 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: did that in a business, you would fire the person 395 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 2: running the business. 396 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 3: Bailey said. 397 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 4: The budget fulfills all the labor agreements for both sworn 398 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 4: officers and civilian staff. It also reinforces public safety as 399 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 4: the top priority for the city and IMPD currently has 400 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 4: around three hundred officer vacancies. Yeah, the budget now moves 401 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 4: to committee review, with the final city County Council vote expected. 402 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 2: Okay, so let's let's and I know we got to 403 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 2: get to a break here, but if Hogg said is 404 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 2: indeed running for a fourth term, which is now the 405 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 2: belief of many people who certainly heard him the other 406 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 2: night that he's skeearing up for a fourth term.

Okay, 434 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 2: So broad came out yesterday or two days ago or 435 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 2: whatever it was. Now, I'm told Indyan a Capital Chronicle 436 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 2: others reported this as well. 437 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: He is gonna wait and see what Texas. 438 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 2: Does on redistrict thing and how it goes in Texas 439 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 2: that might help him decide he's going to do in Indiana. 440 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: And we were like, you're not the governor of Texas. 441 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 2: If this is about doing the right thing, what difference 442 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 2: does it make what it does in Texas. You're you 443 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 2: are basically saying, without saying the words, this is wholly political. 444 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 2: I'm petrified of Trump. I don't want to piss Trump off. 445 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 2: And I got to see what somebody else does first. 446 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, and Texas doesn't have a supermajority, and they have 447 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 8: their Democrats are off in other states, and so it 448 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 8: strikes me that there's really no appetite in the Indiana 449 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 8: General Assembly for redistricting. And I think I think the 450 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 8: reason being is because we when I was there in 451 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 8: nineteen ninety one, two thousand and one, twenty eleven, and 452 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 8: what they did in twenty twenty one was all based 453 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 8: on data. It was based on a census. It was 454 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 8: and it took a complete session, meaning not a week 455 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 8: or two in a special session, but a total long session. 456 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: Okay, let me pause for a second. 457 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 2: Is it fair to say that the goal of redistrict, 458 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 2: so the House of Representatives does redistrict incorrect? 459 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 8: Well, yeah, the Indiana Senate also has their data and 460 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 8: they build what they think is a case of what 461 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 8: the what The House of Representative seats are the hundred 462 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 8: there and the fifty in the Indian Senate as well as. 463 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: The But the House is the leader on that right. 464 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 8: Well, yes, the build uh starts in the House and 465 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 8: comes over the Senate for their deliberate But the. 466 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 2: Okay, so the point is, especially when you have one 467 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 2: party controlled government. Now, no, I know, a whole bunch 468 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: of time you were in the House and or in 469 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 2: the Senate, the House and Senate where there was sometimes 470 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 2: different there's jockeying, yes, sure, but especially when you have 471 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: one party rule the is it safe to say the 472 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 2: goal is to make it as much in favor of 473 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 2: your side, but yet past legal. 474 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: Scrutiny exactly is that? Okay? 475 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 8: And there are factors out there, you know, the the 476 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 8: age old term of one man when vote, and and 477 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 8: and you have to have a certain percentage of individual 478 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 8: in that in that district. And and there's a lot 479 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 8: of guidelines in this redraw of the district every ten 480 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 8: ten years. It's not just about population movement. But but uh, 481 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 8: you just have to have these factors that are included, Okay. 482 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 2: So I asked that because it's safe to say that 483 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 2: the maps as they currently exist, which gave you seven 484 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 2: Republicans and two Democrats, are already in the confines of 485 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 2: the law rigged. 486 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: In your favor. It's a map that's already favors the Republicans, and. 487 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 8: It also passed the courts, right, and so that that's 488 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 8: really the issue is is something is is a map, 489 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 8: if you will, something that a court would approve, because 490 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 8: there will be there's usually, if not every time, there 491 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 8: are lawsuits about how fair these these these these seem in. 492 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 2: Front of the Supreme Court all the time. These state 493 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 2: maps they take years to get there and get adjudicated. 494 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 8: Absolutely, and and uh and and and I've seen the 495 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 8: process in those redraws. We try to be as fair 496 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 8: as possible. And if you look at the district I 497 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 8: represent it for thirty years, the population moved towards Fishers, 498 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 8: and mine was in north when I started nineteen ninety one. 499 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 8: My district started that included Fishers, but within you know, 500 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 8: when they redrew my district in nineteen eighty one, it 501 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 8: wasn't my district.

But this is the idea of replacing 566 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 8: your leader because you have six out of twenty five 567 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 8: seats that means it's nineteen to six on every vote, 568 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 8: is silly.

And now they go give speeches 676 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 2: and write books and all of that stuff. And it's like, Eh, 677 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 2: I don't know if I wanted to see that. I 678 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 2: sort of feel like that, like the presidency, like I 679 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 2: want somebody who's gonna do a good job. I want 680 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 2: somebody who's going to accomplish things, but I also want 681 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 2: somebody who understands sort of the magnitude like when those 682 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 2: old dead guys on those portraits are staring back at you, 683 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 2: fully appreciates what that is. 684 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 3: Magnitude, the magnitude of it, right, And. 685 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 2: I just I think things like this come off as unserious, 686 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 2: and I think the home of our nation's president should 687 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 2: be more than just a UFC fight. 688 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 4: So Dana White apparently is discussing all the plans. He's 689 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 4: meeting with Trump and Ivanka Trump apparently she is directly 690 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 4: involved in the planning and they're preparing some venue renderings 691 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 4: for review, Like where. 692 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 3: This is going to happen. 693 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 4: Is it going to be on the eclipse or you know, 694 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 4: the garden the new patio, Like where are we doing this? 695 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: Well? What does this accomplish? Is my question? Like what 696 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: are we doing by doing this? Are we saying? 697 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 2: And okay, if we are, but it's unclear what message 698 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 2: we're sending, Like, Okay, this is America now. 699 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: A UFC fight on the lawn is yes. 700 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,719 Speaker 2: Matt Matt our boss said that Bill Clinton, you know, 701 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 2: stayed in the White House when he did the thing 702 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 2: in the White House. But it doesn't mean we can't 703 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 2: get it back. I love you, Matt, but can't we 704 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 2: get it back right? I mean, can't we re establish 705 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 2: some sort of like decency order, Like can't we go 706 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 2: back that? See, this is what Biden was supposed to be. 707 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 2: I know this sounds crazy, but I think in a 708 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 2: lot of people's minds they didn't even fathom that Biden 709 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 2: had lost his marbles or was going to be controlled 710 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 2: by radical leftists. They thought Biden was going to restore 711 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 2: some semblance of normalcy. 712 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 3: Who's they The people who voted for him thought, yeah, 713 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,720 Speaker 3: that guy would bring dignity. 714 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 2: Okay, see this is a true story. There was a 715 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 2: kid here, he used to produce on the weekends. He 716 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 2: was in his early twenties, was a Republican voter. I 717 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 2: asked him one night when I was doing the weekend show, 718 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 2: who you're voting for? And he goes, I don't know. 719 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 2: I said, how could you not know? He goes, I 720 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 2: like a lot of the things Trump has done. I 721 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 2: hate the way he's handled the Oval office, and I 722 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 2: just think, I think there's you and I can think 723 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 2: that's as crazy as whatever, but there's a lot of 724 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 2: people out there who vote that way, and I just 725 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 2: think this feeds that anyway. 726 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: Okay. 727 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 2: Craig Haggard, he's got a big announcement, made a big 728 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 2: announcement yesterday. 729 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna be with us to talk about it.
