It wasn't a conversation 62 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: about the property taxes that have been, you know, doubling 63 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: and tripling for people over the past five years.

It was 74 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: about redistricting. Like you think they sent these people to 75 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: Washington because vance was going to be wowed by Jim 76 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: Lucas's charm in charisma. And coming out of the meeting, 77 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: what did you see? You saw what we called it? 78 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: Did we call it waffling?

No worry, Jim, we'll get 115 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,679 Speaker 1: to the end. Jim is just working himself through the process. 116 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: Craig Haggard just went from start to finish in one process. 117 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: In one fell swoop. 118 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: Right. 119 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: These people are dishonest, they're deceitful, they lie, and even 120 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: those who don't do it deliberately, they're brutally weak. They 121 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: have no backbone whatsoever. 122 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 3: He said, there's more questions that need to be answered. 123 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 3: What's changed before supporting action, however, he's sawt what's changed. 124 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: The state of Indiana has a changed period, right, Like, 125 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: we've seen one percent population growth. The state is voted 126 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: fifty eight percent Republican in the last election. We're seventy 127 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: eight percent of the congressional districts are Republican, seventy percent 128 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: of the state House seats are Republican, eighty percent of 129 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: the Senate seats are Republican. The state is already jerrymandered. 130 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: The state is already rigged in favor of the Republicans. 131 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: If we're going to go by well those so and 132 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: you know, I hear these three, Well we're an all 133 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: Republican state. Okay, we're going to play that game. Then 134 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: why don't we just say, whoever, however you vote for president, 135 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: all your congressional districts just go to that person. I mean, 136 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: you think about currently what my buddy Steve posted this 137 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: yesterday that something like Trump got forty forty nine point 138 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: eight percent of the vote or something like that, and 139 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: Congress is fifty point three or some number like that. 140 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: It's already a representation of the country. The country is 141 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: evenly divided. Indiana is a fifty eight percent Republican state, 142 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: but seventy eight percent of the congressional seats, seventy percent 143 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: of the House seats eighty percent. Don't act like we 144 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: didn't already do this. Don't look at Illinoi and go, well, you. 145 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 2: Did it too. 146 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: Your state's just not as big, you don't have any people, 147 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: you don't have as many congressional seats, so you. 148 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: Can't rig the system the way ILLINOI did. But we 149 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: do it too. 150 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: So it comes back to nothing matters, and what if 151 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: it did. These people there's their word doesn't matter, honesty 152 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. They can't even give you an honest assessment 153 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: of what they're going to talk about. That's how dishonest 154 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: these people are like. And if you're so willing to 155 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: allow these people to behave like this because of some 156 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: causey support, what does one more squish Republican? What does 157 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: one more Jefferson Shreve, what does one more, Greg Pence, 158 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: What does Rudy yakam? 159 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: What does that do for your life? How does that 160 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 2: help you? 161 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: And are you willing to allow these people to repeatedly 162 00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: behave in deceitful, dishonest, deceptive manners. So you get one more, 163 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: Jefferson Shreve. Is that all your life means to you? 164 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: Is that all holding someone accountable means to you? Is 165 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: one more Jefferson Shreve. 166 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: So some of the things they discussed were education reform, 167 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: border security, illequal immigration, and welfare fraud. Of course, redistricting 168 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 3: did come up, even though it wasn't on the agenda. 169 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 3: Jd Vance attended the part of the meeting discussed this 170 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: with them. Donald Trump was not president. We got to 171 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 3: talk about the welfare fraud thing. Let's take a break, 172 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 3: because that is that is infuriating, That is infuriating given 173 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 3: what these people and by these people I'm talking about 174 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 3: Trump and the Republicans and Holcombe and the Republicans did 175 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 3: in this state five years ago. That is infuriating to me.
