1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,439 Speaker 1: It's the Hammer and Nigel weekend show called Nutty three WYBC. 2 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: My name is Nigel Jason Hammer right over there with 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: a very special in studio guest, the. 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 2: Governor of the Great State of Indiana, Governor Mike Brawn 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 2: joins us in studio. Bears in Indie? Yet, do I 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 2: go buy tickets yet? Is that a done deal? Do 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 2: I start making the t shirts now on the merch store? 8 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 2: What's going on? 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 3: Why did I know that was going to be your 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 3: first comment? 11 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 4: So everybody asked that question and from the last time 12 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 4: it was public discussed. The Bears are doing due diligent stuff. 13 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 4: I think the Pritzker and Johnson and their state legislature 14 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 4: let it go far enough that it's kind of in 15 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 4: the same dynamic. They like the look of Indiana. I 16 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 4: think they get more of a stadium built for the 17 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 4: dollars that they spend. Plus you look at the cost 18 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 4: of doing business here forty to fifty years. 19 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 3: I mean, they like what they see. 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 4: So depends on their legislatures in session till May thirty first, 21 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 4: But we have weekly conversations with them and they're still 22 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 4: going forward on doing the month or two's worth of 23 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 4: work checking the side out, So the templates there. The 24 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 4: legislature did a wonderful job. Governor's office handled all the 25 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 4: conversation up. 26 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 3: To getting the legislation done. 27 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 4: So we've done everything to set the stage and we'll see. 28 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 4: I think it'll play out in the next month and 29 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 4: a half or two one way. 30 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 3: Or the other. 31 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: All right, So Nigel and I talked a little bit earlier. 32 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: National headlines are kind of dominating the new cycle right now. 33 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: We're keeping our eye on Iran, the United States and Iran. 34 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: There appears to be a terrorist attack at the mayor's 35 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: residence near New York and isis inspired attack. National stories 36 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: are big. I want to talk about what's happening here 37 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: in Indiana. Session just wrapped up. This was not a 38 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: budget year, but there were some key things that were 39 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: on the docket this year. 40 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: It seems like a bunch of stuff got accomplished. 41 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: Right, What are the wins? Governor? 42 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 4: So all along, jobs and wages are the big deal, 43 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 4: and we may have discussed it before. Economic development that goes, 44 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 4: you know, directly into that. In the first year, we 45 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 4: were able to bump wages from thirty six bucks an 46 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 4: hour close to forty one, and we've spent one third 47 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 4: the amount of money per incentivized job. 48 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 3: That is significant. 49 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 4: We've also talked about doing it in a broad regional 50 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 4: way with the fifteen regions, making sure there's synergy among 51 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 4: them that the whole state sees benefit. That's why, along 52 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 4: with that good wage news, our GDP growth is growing 53 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 4: at twice the rate of Ohio's in Illinois, three times 54 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 4: as fast as Kentucky's, five to six times as fast 55 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 4: as Michigan. So we're standing out among our peer state group. 56 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 4: So that's good news. You've got what's happening here on 57 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 4: the national seed. Yes, gas prices which were coming down 58 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 4: from Biden's inflation and restrictions. I think most people know why, 59 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 4: and hopefully that's going to stick to the game plan 60 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 4: because affordability is still the big issue out there. But 61 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 4: our state has stood out with some real basic changes and. 62 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: We'll keep doing it. 63 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 4: And then when it comes to what the year looks 64 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 4: like ahead, remember that Austere budget forecast, Well that was 65 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 4: based upon tariffs, which that was a fake forecast because 66 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 4: tariffs were discounted in the marketplace. And now we've gotten 67 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 4: back that billion dollars that we were supposed to not 68 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 4: have in each year and running state government more leanly, 69 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 4: more efficiently. The last forecast done in December has things 70 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 4: looking better. 71 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 3: Than what they did the year prior. 72 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 4: Take nothing for granted, because most people are aching so 73 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 4: bad from Biden's twenty five percent gift right that these 74 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 4: are high costs and you couldn't get them down. That 75 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 4: would take deflation, that would take the opposite of inflation. 76 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 4: So you got to work on things like how do 77 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 4: you make it easier to produce more fuel, how do 78 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 4: you make it easier to produce more or something, or 79 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 4: how do you get ahead of now utility rates with 80 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 4: the whole complicated discussion on data centers, and that's the 81 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 4: thing we've had the most control over, and we got 82 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 4: specific things we can point to there. 83 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: I saw you on TV I think earlier today talking 84 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: about energy rates and data centers, right, Yeah, what was 85 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: the substance of that message? 86 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,799 Speaker 4: So if if you want to bring a data center 87 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 4: to this state, you're paying for it the construction of it, 88 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 4: You're going to put more electrons onto the grid than 89 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 4: you're using. That shows up with Indiana, Michigan. I think 90 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 4: it's part of AEP They are coming out with a 91 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 4: rate reduction if they follow through on it. Because of 92 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 4: the results they're already getting out of one done up 93 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 4: in their area. Nipscoe created a separate entity to put 94 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 4: them into. They're lowering things like special charges, disconnects, they're 95 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 4: given more latitude. We're doing everything we can and throwing 96 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 4: the kitchen sink at it. But it's the first time 97 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 4: any governor has taken on investor own utilities because it's 98 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 4: just as strong, almost as a healthcare lobby, which ironically 99 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 4: is where we've gotten the most done, and they still 100 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 4: complain about it's being too hard on hospitals and insurance companies. 101 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: We've only gotten started. 102 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: There isn't that a problem though. With the General Assembly, 103 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: it's an overwhelming Republican majority, and it feels like it's 104 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: the same conversation with property taxes. It should be pretty easy. 105 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: If there's an R next to your name, you should 106 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: be for limited government, lower taxes. But unfortunately there's a 107 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: lot of folks that have it R next to their 108 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: name that govern like there's a D next to it. 109 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, so there. 110 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: Of course, they gave me Senate Bill one gutted it, 111 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 4: and we've talked about that several times and got it 112 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 4: back to where there's relief, but not what many that 113 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 4: wanted to get rid of property tax or reduce it 114 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 4: over time wanted here. On utility rates, when I appointed 115 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 4: the first four appointments to the Office of Utility Counselor, 116 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 4: she is a tough customer, Abbi Gray. When AES requested 117 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 4: an increase of twenty percent, she said, no, I recommend 118 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 4: a ten percent decrease. That's set the stage. And then 119 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 4: the iu RC Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, I replace three 120 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,119 Speaker 4: of the five commissioners to be rate payer conscious. They're 121 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 4: investigating the utilities on their rate increases in the past, 122 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 4: and they now are going to be rate payer conscious 123 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 4: to where I think we're going to be able to 124 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 4: get them to finally realize it's a two way street. 125 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 4: Not whatever you want, you're going to get done, and 126 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 4: we're just getting started on that. So I and am 127 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 4: AEP If they do that in lower rates based upon 128 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 4: more electrons going on the grid, that's the start of it. 129 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 4: We're not going to We're going to be vigilant and 130 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 4: not let up. That'll be the first measurable thing any 131 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 4: governor has done. And then you go to the legislature 132 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 4: they passed a bill that was actually fairly conducing to it, 133 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 4: and we did most of it through executive order. And 134 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 4: how we could impact those commissions. 135 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 2: Governor, if these data centers are from these massive companies, right, 136 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: and these are the folks that are able to afford 137 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: these why should they get tax breaks? 138 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: Well, their investor owned utilities, they get their revenues regulated. Okay. 139 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 4: Utilities are different than nonprofit hospitals, which escape basically all taxes. Here, 140 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 4: they've just not had anybody holding their rates down to 141 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 4: be accountable. So the main way you impact the utility 142 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 4: is they are a natural monopoly. You've got five of 143 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 4: them that provide most of the electrisity in our state. 144 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 3: They've got to have and they're owned by investors. 145 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 4: The past has been the lobbyists say, we want to 146 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 4: make sure there's a guaranteed return on investment for the 147 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 4: owners of the utilities. We're going away from that. That's 148 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 4: not going to be a guarantee. The guarantee is going 149 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 4: to be that you give us value by running yourself 150 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 4: more efficiently, and that you do whatever it takes at 151 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 4: lower prices, not get a rubber stamp on increases. 152 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: So it's a little different dynamic. 153 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 4: The main tool we have to use against Sam is 154 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 4: the iu RC Governor Mike. 155 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 2: Brawn with us. One more thing here on the subject 156 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: of affordability and utilities AEES a lot of talk about 157 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: them being bought out. Is it going to be Blackrock? 158 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: Is it going to be somebody else? How involved are you, 159 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: if at all, in the discussions about AES and the 160 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: reacquisition of that business. 161 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 4: Statement is very clear, whether it's Blackrock whoever, you're playing 162 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 4: by the same rules. If the ownership changes, that is 163 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 4: going to be a federal issue on antitrust stuff. If 164 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 4: they don't do anything about it, there's nothing you can 165 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 4: do about it. But just because it's Blackrock, they play 166 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 4: by the same rules as whoever they own. If it 167 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 4: is a utility, nothing favored, they don't really add any 168 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 4: extra clout to it. It'll be run as a subsidiary, 169 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,599 Speaker 4: you know, not by Blackrock. They're a holding company and 170 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 4: owns a bunch of stuff. But that shouldn't make any 171 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 4: difference because the rules will be the same. 172 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: One more thing here before we let you go. We 173 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 2: got the Governor Mike Brown with us, so we're doing 174 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 2: well in terms of the GDP. We're doing well in 175 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: terms of job numbers. So when can we look forward 176 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: to that no tax on tips. I know this wasn't 177 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: a budget year, but if somebody really wanted to, they 178 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 2: probably could have maybe made a move on that. I 179 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 2: feel like this past session, so that. 180 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 4: Was pasted, okay for us to devetail it no tax 181 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 4: on tips and over to time okay. 182 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: So in that passed, okay, and that will be effective 183 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 2: as of I'd. 184 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 4: Have to check the effective date, but a lot of 185 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 4: times that goes into effect July first new fiscal year. 186 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 2: Because there's a lot of people that were like, I 187 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: knew this wasn't a budget year, but it passed in 188 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 2: the big beautiful bill nationally and we were waiting for. 189 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 3: Pried to dovetail as much as we could. 190 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 4: Legislature did fight back a little bit because it lowers revenues. 191 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 4: You know, in this case, we wanted those two components 192 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 4: for sure to be in there, and we got them 193 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 4: in there. 194 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 2: What's next for the state of Indiana? 195 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 4: So, I mean, healthcare costs are still the thing that 196 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 4: we're known most far having the highest with some of 197 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 4: the poorest outcomes.

Right, there's I mean, there's a way 347 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: that raccoon is getting in right, yes, Oh, dear lord, 348 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: and rabbit probably dragging in dirty diapers. Oh, defecating all 349 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: over the place. 350 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 2: Trash Panda's coming in, bringing. 351 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: All the crap in there. Yeah, like when you know, 352 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: it's just like I was when we first had Connor 353 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: back in the day. I was just I was drunk 354 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: and inebriating and dragging in all sorts of trash. 355 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 2: It's great that things have changed. 356 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 1: I've I've grown upsets then. 357 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 358 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 10: Uh. 359 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 2: Normally we have a segment called great Moments in Shoeing 360 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 2: Away Bear's History. But because this story is about a 361 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 2: raccoon and not a bear, Yeah, can we do a 362 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 2: great moment in Shoeing away raccoons nights. 363 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: Oh is there is there such a thing. 364 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: There's this video of a CNN reporter. Now this is 365 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. He's out trying to record 366 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: a lot I've tease, I think for his story and 367 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 2: clearly this was not on the air. This was the outtake, 368 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 2: but a raccoon kept stopping by and screwing with him. 369 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 4: No events on the President's schedule today and important to 370 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 4: say the White House. 371 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 3: Especially from the damn get there. He is fricking raccoons. 372 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 4: Man. 373 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 2: God again, this is the second time great moments and 374 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 2: shooing away raccoon's history. It is on the Hammer and 375 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 2: Nigel Show. 376 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: It's the Hammer of Nigel Show. My name is Nigel 377 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: Jason Hammer rights over there. With all the news about 378 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: the United States war with Iran, something has kind of 379 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: gone under the radar lately. That would be the Save 380 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: America Act, the piece of legislation that Donald Trump and 381 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: the White House really want to push through. And it's 382 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: very simple that you it's federal law that's going to 383 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: say that you have to have you have to prove 384 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: you're an American to register to vote. You got to 385 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: have an ID two vote and here to give us 386 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: an update on that. Bright Bart News policy reporter Sean 387 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: Moran Seawan, did I get that right? It seems like 388 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: a pretty simple piece of legislation. 389 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's the crust of it requires voter ID as 390 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 10: a register. You got to show voter IG when you vote, 391 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 10: and it would have a bail on mail end ballots. 392 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 3: Wow. 393 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: Okay, this doesn't seem to be having success. I think 394 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: that it got through the House, but the Senate is 395 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: a different story. Who's for it? Who's againstant the Majority 396 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: leader Thoon is having some problems. 397 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 3: What's going on? 398 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 10: Absolutely, and this is something that we have and will 399 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 10: continue to report on bright Bartners. It's a long standing 400 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 10: issue that we are seeing the kind of double edged 401 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 10: sword of the Senate filibuster that requires sixty votes in 402 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 10: order to get major legislation through the body. You know, 403 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 10: this is something that President Donald Trump has tried to 404 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 10: push the Senate to adopt to find ways to get 405 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 10: rid of the filibuster or at least bypassed in order 406 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 10: to pass the legislation. What some Senators, like Senator Mike 407 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 10: Lee from Utah, is advocating for is to use what 408 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 10: is known as a talking pilibuster. It's basically a center 409 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 10: role that's been around forever in the Senate to basically 410 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 10: require Democrats are opposed to ending debate on legislation that 411 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 10: they would vote on, to continuously talk on the Senate 412 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 10: floor until they basically just get exhausted and give up. 413 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 10: You know, we've seen the sort of thing. Yeah, No, 414 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 10: it's an incredible sort of procedure and it's only been 415 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 10: used a couple times in history, but it's been used 416 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 10: for major parts of legislation. We could see this that 417 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 10: it was used to pass parts of the Civil Rights 418 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 10: Sack passed to pass major legislation in eighteen eighty three. 419 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 10: So it's a big move that they would do in 420 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 10: order to try and pass this. It would take a 421 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 10: lot of coordination that we can get into in order 422 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 10: to pass it, but it is definitely a possibility that 423 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 10: the Senate could take forward to take action on that. 424 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: Well, it seems like what it would take from the 425 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: Republicans is work and and that's the other component here. 426 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: They could talk for days and weeks if they wanted. 427 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: But you're saying by doing the talking filibuster, eventually the 428 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: Save America Act could get passed if they do it now, who, like, 429 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: what's the problem, Why don't they just do it? Like 430 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: What'sdent's what's student doing? 431 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 10: Essentially what Center Republicans and Senate Majority John Thune would 432 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 10: have to do and make sure that Center Republicans are 433 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 10: on the same page on the Senate floor for potentially weeks, 434 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 10: a month or two months even and that they agree 435 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 10: on all potential amendments that Democrats could add to the 436 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 10: legislation to make sure that they're all in agreement half 437 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 10: the time that they're all presently uh working together on it. 438 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 10: And there's a couple standstills that are not entirely on 439 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 10: board with this plan. We can see very infamously, uh, 440 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 10: the former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is not in 441 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 10: favor of this, and this is something that one of 442 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 10: the Senate uh, one of the Kentucky Senate Republican candidates, 443 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 10: Nate Morris, and we reported that right Bright News, and 444 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 10: one of our interviews is that, you know, Mitch McConnell 445 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 10: has been quite a cudgel about this plan, and it's 446 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 10: to make sure that you know that that this thing 447 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 10: can get through. But it's it's one of the things 448 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 10: that requires a lot of coordination, a lot of buy 449 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 10: in from everyone, and it oftentimes takes some problems. And 450 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 10: this is quite This is actually one of the reasons 451 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 10: why it's it hasn't been used this often in history 452 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 10: for the Senator pass these sort of things through using 453 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 10: the talking filibuster is that it's just a required so 454 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 10: much coration and frankly, it's so physically exhausting to be 455 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 10: on the Senate for so long to get this done. 456 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 10: But President Doald Trump is very committed to get it done. 457 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,719 Speaker 10: So it's going to be interesting to see if the 458 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 10: Senate Republican Conference can get to it and make sure 459 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 10: it happens. 460 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: There's no way McConnell could stay awake for two hours, 461 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: much less than thirty hours giving a break. I we're 462 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: speaking with a policy reporter from Breitbart, Sean Moran, in 463 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: the Save America Act? Are there okay? We know that, 464 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: we know it. We'll get to why Democrats are opposed 465 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: to pushing this through? Are there other Republicans that are 466 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: opposed to this in the Senate? 467 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 10: From what I understand, and a lot of these center 468 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 10: Republicans haven't been talking too publicly, but from I understand, 469 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 10: there's a handful of center Republicans that are a little 470 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 10: uncomfortable with entirely eliminating mail in ballots. They often believe, 471 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 10: the center Republicans that a lot of rural states want 472 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 10: to make sure that there are some provisions for mail 473 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 10: in balloting to make sure that these rural states, which 474 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 10: often you have to drive ten, fifteen, twenty thirty miles 475 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 10: or however to your polling station, to make sure that 476 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 10: they can have that ability to vote by mail and 477 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 10: things like that. We know that there's often issues that 478 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 10: come with mail in bouting. There's ways to have verification 479 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 10: of those mail in ballots, but I think that's one 480 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 10: of the bigger concerns that some kind of Republicans have. 481 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: In this Yeah, what about the Democrats? Their argument is 482 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: that it's an oppressive piece of legislation. Their constituents don't 483 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: know how to go get drivers' licenses. What if you 484 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: just get what if they're a woman and you just 485 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: got married and your name is different. Now, it's such 486 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: a patronizing, sort of politically stupid thing to said Jim 487 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: Krobe two point zero. I'm hearing all these things, and 488 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: what are you hearing? 489 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 10: We often hear the same thing, and I think what 490 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 10: you said with the women issues and new ones that 491 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 10: they're doing. The former or Secretary of State Haley Klinn 492 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 10: brought this up and she said that women that you 493 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 10: said changed their names, would you know no longer be 494 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 10: able to vote? And my wife is able to vote. 495 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 10: She changed her name and when she married me, and 496 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 10: what do you know, she could still vote. 497 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: So I don't know. 498 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 10: I think it's gonna work for women. So maybe maybe 499 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 10: I'm aong for other people. But it is often very 500 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 10: interesting when they try to bring up a new talking 501 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 10: point that it's not going to discourage women are minority 502 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 10: is from voting, which apparently a lot of people don't 503 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 10: have licensed IDs to be able to do anything else 504 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 10: in life. 505 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: It's so ridiculous. You need an ID to fish, you 506 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: need an ID to get a license to fish, or 507 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: to buy alcohol, to buy sudafed, for God's sake, but 508 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: you can't. Somehow is it possible for minorities to make 509 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: it to the DMVD or wherever you would get your 510 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: ID to go vote? 511 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 3: Why? 512 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: What's the real reason Democrats don't want this to go through, 513 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: the real reason. 514 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 10: I think there's a lot of concern that perhaps there 515 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 10: might be some This is the argument I think from 516 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 10: the right, that people would say that there's a lot 517 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 10: of ballots or roles that may not be one hundred 518 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 10: percent valid, and that they might courage it with this 519 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 10: sort of thing, and then maybe it would be a 520 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 10: little harder for you know, election integrity may not always 521 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 10: go their way, or say, I don't know it. It 522 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 10: makes one wonder. I'm still looking into the issue, but 523 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 10: I think that's the argument I've heard from someone the 524 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 10: right that believe. 525 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: Democrats this isn't I mean, even like, yeah, I saw 526 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: the other night, we played a clip yesterday on the 527 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: show of CNN and its own polling says voter ID 528 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: is not a controversial issue. What of the what are 529 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: the numbers you've seen on polling in people, you know, 530 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: average everyday citizens and even Democrats as a whole, Democrats 531 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: want voter ID that are that are normal, average everyday 532 00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: citizens that aren't lawmakers. I mean, it's not a controversial thing, right. 533 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 10: Many of the polls say to be strong majorities even 534 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 10: up to like eighty twenty eighty favor twenty against things 535 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 10: like that, This is not a particularly controversial issue. And 536 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 10: I mean, for Democrats. They're often concerned about forid influence 537 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 10: from Russia or you know, meddling in our elections. This 538 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 10: is one meddling and our electoral integrity issue sort of 539 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 10: system that they don't really want to deal with. You 540 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 10: know what if Russians just want to put in fake 541 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 10: ballots that might help Republicans, I'm just gonna think of 542 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 10: out loud about something like that. But that's not something 543 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 10: they seem to be particularly concerned about. 544 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: Sean Moran, Breitbart policy reporter.

Maybe one, Rihanna's hotter, and number two, 603 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 2: the hot crazy matrix does not have a chance to 604 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 2: catch up here. Dudes are willing to put up with 605 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 2: a little crazy if the chick is hot, they're not 606 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 2: willing to put up with firing rounds into the house, 607 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 2: trying to murder her while she's home, and talking about witchcraft. 608 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 2: There's not a hot enough level for that. Even Sydney 609 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 2: Sweeney would be out of the question if she started 610 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 2: firing rounds into my house. And Rihanna was home when 611 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 2: this was happening. That's why they got the attempted murder charge. 612 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 2: Rihanna was home. It was like one of those old 613 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 2: school nineties hood movies. She had to duck and take 614 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 2: cover as gunfire was coming into her house. So no, 615 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 2: not okay with this. And this is pretty frank. 616 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: Did you hear like I've heard? And Allison could comment 617 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: on this too, like I heard like Rihanna's performance. Did 618 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 1: she at the Super Bowl last year the couple of 619 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 1: years ago a couple of years ago where they said 620 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: there was satanic imagery and she was making some sort 621 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: of hand signals that had to do with Satan and 622 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,879 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Did you guys hear that? 623 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 2: I remember hearing that, but I don't think that's anywhere true. 624 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 2: I think people were looking a little too deep and 625 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 2: too pregnant at the time. Rihanna's performed at the Super 626 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 2: Bowl a couple of years ago. So normally we do 627 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,919 Speaker 2: this with Alison, but I feel like we've already done 628 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 2: a Rihanna montage with her.
