1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Well, that was an eventful day yesterday.

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 2: You were busy, weren't you.

3
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Yesterday was why I don't do anything nice for anybody?

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: Say more words, Well, because I just this is always

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: what happens. I try to help people out and then

6
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: I end up just ruining my whole day. And I've

7
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: already made the commitment. And you know me, if I

8
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: commit to do it, there's no more loyal person than me.

9
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: If I commit to doing something for you, I will

10
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: do it. And so yesterday I went over to the

11
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: Indiana State House and I hang out with all the

12
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: freaks and lunatics and so against the districting bill. Now, you, Casey,

13
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: we're the real hero at all of this, because look,

14
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have put So I was asked by the

15
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: people who are against redistricting. They said, look, we need

16
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: a little bo star power. We need somebody kind of

17
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: bring some attention to this. We need They didn't say

18
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: it like this, but they're like, we need some people

19
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: who know how to articulate the message in a fashion

20
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: that might resonate with the people and you know, making

21
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: the call in the shots right. And this is of course,

22
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: in front of the Senate Election Committee. They heard the

23
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: redistricting bill yesterday. We'll get to the outcome, which, by

24
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: the way, how good a mine?

25
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was amazing. You and I were texting last

26
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: night about that, and you said, I think it's going

27
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: to come down six to three. Lo, and behold, that's

28
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: what it was.

29
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: But not only did this, I think it was gonna

30
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: be six to three, I said, with very specifically who yeah,

31
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: and what they were going to say the three who

32
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: voted in favor, And I was exactly right, And we'll

33
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: get to that in a second. But they so they said, look,

34
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: will you go over there? Will you? Cause you got

35
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: to speak in two minutes. You got to look professionally

36
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: all that. They're like, okay, fine, I'll do it, and

37
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: then like everything else in my like, oh, it'll be quick.

38
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: You'll be in fast, to be out fast. It'll be fine.

39
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: The things start an hour later than I was told. Yeah,

40
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: I was there for two hours, so by the time

41
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: I was all in, it was three hours. To speak

42
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: for two minutes.

43
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I was like, where where are you? When

44
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: are you talking? I'm watching this thing to hear what

45
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 2: you had to say. And it just kept dragging on

46
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: and on. I mean, they were quick though, with the

47
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: two minutes fast on the buzzer, they were not letting

48
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: anyone go over.

49
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: One hundred and twenty seven people signed up to speak.

50
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: Now I did not. I was probably number fifty, so

51
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: I did not stay for the whole thing. By the way,

52
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: that's like the way it works is they you know,

53
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: they the person speaking, and then they announced the people

54
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: that are after, so you can get in line to

55
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: go in and speak. And I was told this, and

56
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: then I felt it in the room. Right, my name

57
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: goes up on the board and they say your name.

58
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: And Gaskell, the guy who's running the meeting who once

59
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: came on our show, and just he was the guy

60
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: who came on our show. He went from Munsie, right,

61
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: he came on the show and told us how against

62
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: property taxes he was now crummy the system was and

63
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: now he was going to fight to make the system better.

64
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: And then he voted for that abomination of a bill

65
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: on property. You remember him, So he's he's heading this

66
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: committee up and he is like a ghost had just

67
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: like walked right in front of him when he saw

68
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: the name and said it, And of course everybody else

69
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: perks up, and people were tweeting about it, and and

70
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: I go in there and it is like the boogeyman

71
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: had entered the room, right, And so look, it was

72
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly no the people who spoke.

73
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 2: The ninety nine people testified, eighty opposed, nineteen were in favor.

74
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: It's pretty good that only twenty eight didn't didn't stay

75
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: around as long as that thing went on, because I

76
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: mean it was like five or six hours of people's speaking,

77
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: So that's pretty good. So what it was eighty eighty

78
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: to nineteen. Okay, so again overwhelmingly knows. Just like every

79
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: other event, people have been overwhelmingly against us. Now the

80
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: yes side got to memo. So here's what's fascinating the

81
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: Yes side because basically nobody showed up to speak in

82
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: favor of the last time. So they convinced all the

83
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: what I call the usual suspects. It's people go to everything,

84
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: it's the same faces, it's never anybody knew. It's the

85
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: same six or seven niche people that are left that

86
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: still believe anything that comes out of the mouth of

87
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: Braun or Micah. They got those people to go speak,

88
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: and they got them there early enough on the sign

89
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: end because they usually go on how you sign in

90
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: that they came up basically right out of the gate,

91
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: and so the early reports were like, oh my gosh,

92
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: there's so many more yes people here than the last time,

93
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: and then by the time it was all done, it

94
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: was the usual like overwhelming.

95
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: No.

96
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: The other thing that was interesting is all of those

97
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: people that appeared then went to a meeting with Braun

98
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: and Micah.

99
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: After did they had some water and coffee?

100
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: Can you okay? So can you imagine some of these

101
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: people were, well, they're driving down that's all they got

102
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: at the residents.

103
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: Not even snickers the governor's mansion, not even.

104
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: A Snickers bar, okay. So A couple of things that

105
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: are fascinating about this to me. Number one the fact

106
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: that the sitting governor of the state of Indiana knows

107
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: his lieutenant governor is under grand jury investigation for multiple things,

108
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: Like it's irrefutable that's going on, and he is still

109
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: on the regular paling around with this guy, Like whatever

110
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: comes out of that, if it's anything, Braun can't do

111
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: the me so stupid me don't know routine because there

112
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: are multiple high profile events where he has been seen

113
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: arm in arm with Micah, the lieutenant governor whose office

114
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: is undergrand jury investigation right now, and Braun knows that

115
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: and he's still piling around with him. That is fascinating

116
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: to me. But the other part of this is, can

117
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: you imagine if you're somebody from Fort Wayne, like I

118
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: know some of those people who are very mad at me.

119
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 1: And we'll get to that in a second two because

120
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: one of them said something to me yesterday.

121
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 2: But like you, you were popular.

122
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: You have to drive all the way down from Fort Wayne.

123
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: You have to be there for at least a couple hours,

124
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: even if you're speaking early. Get in line all too,

125
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: blah blah blah the other stuff. And your big reward

126
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: for that is coffee and water with them, with the

127
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: governor who is despised by our state and in his

128
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: stege assistant who is on whose office is under grand

129
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: jury investigation.

130
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: That's your big.

131
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: Reward for ruining your whole day.

132
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, for some of those people, that is a

133
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: reward because they want to be elbow to elbow with power.

134
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: One of these people told me afterwards. They came up

135
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: to me and said, I'm very disappointed in you. Yeah,

136
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: And I looked at her and I said, get in line.

137
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: It's long.

138
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: You're going to be waiting a while and we'll talk

139
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: about some of that later. But anyway, so overwhelming people

140
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: against this. As you mentioned, I spoke Ethan Hatcher, who's

141
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: going to join us here in just a little bit.

142
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: Get his take on the day yesterday he spoke.

143
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: They said they wanted to wrap it up by six o'clock.

144
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: At seven point forty one, they were finally taking the vote.

145
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, went a little bit long. So so ultimately, so

146
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: I tweeted this out. I said this to Casey, uh

147
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: hours before they had the vote. I said, here's what's

148
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: going to happen, Casey, and oh gosh, darn it. It's

149
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: nine to thirteen on what is today, the ninth of December,

150
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: and it's my least favorite part of every show. We

151
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: got to do it in the opening segment, which is

152
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: where I have to tell everybody how right I was.

153
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: And did I not tell you? I said, Casey, here's

154
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: how this is going to go down. The vote is

155
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: going to be six to three in favor. Three of

156
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: them are going to say I'm voting solely to move

157
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: this forward for my fellow colleagues to be able to

158
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: vote on this. I am not committing to committed to

159
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: voting yes, and Casey.

160
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: Exactly what happened?

161
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: What's exactly what?

162
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only Republican to vote against the bill was

163
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: Greg Walker, and you had a couple of them, Rogers

164
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: and Donados say that they may change their vote on

165
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 2: the Senate floor. Good said the bill needs more vetting.

166
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: Now. Greg Good is the guy. This is what's disgusting

167
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: about all this. Greg Good is the guy from Tera

168
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: HOAt who had had a town hall and not a

169
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: single person showed up in support. Seventy people showed up

170
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: to speak against and he still is undecided. Dude, had

171
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: it been eighty to zero, would that have suaded you?

172
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: This is what pisses me off about all of this.

173
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: You guys could have killed this yesterday. Rogers was Rogers

174
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: and Donado are the two who voted not to come

175
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: back back. I think the other two who voted to

176
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: move it forward but to hear from their constituents. I

177
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: think that's how it went down. You voted not to

178
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: come back just a couple of weeks ago. Kill it

179
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: and be done with it. But they don't want to smoke.

180
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: That's why they did this. They don't want to be

181
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: the ones to have killed it. They didn't want the smoke.

182
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: So Senator Greg Walker he voted against it, and he

183
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: got very emotional at the end when they're taking the vote,

184
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: this is my favorite thing. They all want to comment

185
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: on the way they're voting. Sure, yes, here's how I'm

186
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: going to vote. But let me tell you why first.

187
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: And here's what he had to say.

188
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: Permission to explain my vote very briefly. One of those

189
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: who testify today asked me to I'll read it again.

190
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: I think this is a direct quote to shed my

191
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 3: sense of fairness. Is that the kind of advice you

192
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: would give your children, or your grandchildren, or your nieces

193
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 3: and nephews.

194
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus crying.

195
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: I will not shed my sense of fairness.

196
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: I vote.

197
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: Thank you.

198
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: He's crying.

199
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: He was very emotional. He said the bill leaves no

200
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: room for wiggle and could be challenged in court.

201
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: But he was crying over a redistricting bill. No tears

202
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: for when people get screwed on property taxes. No tiers

203
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: when these utility bills rise every single year and are

204
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: pricing people out of being able to heat and cool

205
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: their homes. No tiers for the hundreds of millions in

206
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: corruption with the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. Money taken from

207
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: poor and middle class people, given to the uber connected

208
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: and squandered.

209
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: No tears on that.

210
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: But when these guys get affected by something, get out

211
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: of here,
