1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Hello, My name is Nigel Jason Hammer right over there 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: with the very special studio guests. 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 2: He's been kind enough to join us every couple of 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 2: weeks at least once a month here on the Hammer 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 2: in Nigel Show this entire year. 6 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 3: You need to come up with a name for this segment, 7 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 3: like Beers with Braun? 8 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 4: Maybe is that right? 9 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 2: Perhaps Governor Mike Braun joins us in studio, and I 10 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 2: know time is limited here, so let's dive right into it. 11 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: What are you What are your staff members hearing about 12 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 2: the changing of the congressional maps since the last time 13 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: you joined us in studio. The Senate pro Tim rod 14 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 2: Bray has done a one eighty and now he's bringing 15 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 2: the Senate back. A lot of people have different theories 16 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: as to why what are you hearing? 17 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 5: So I think his reason is still not known, but 18 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 5: I think the big impetus there was one the House 19 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 5: that they had the votes and they're coming back and 20 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 5: they're going to do fair maps, and I think at 21 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 5: that point he probably new too. We'll see tomorrow what 22 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 5: the margin is, but we're expecting a pretty overwhelming vote 23 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 5: there in the House, and they've worked closely together over 24 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 5: the years and I think that the House and Speaker 25 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 5: Houston have just been more in touch with our own 26 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 5: Republican voters, conservative voters in this state. And I think 27 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 5: early on, I think the clock was being worked. A 28 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 5: lot of different methods were being used. But I think 29 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 5: when it came down to Speaker Houston saying we're coming in, 30 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 5: and that then put a different dynamic into it. And 31 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 5: then as that has kind of transpired, you've seen it's 32 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 5: gone through. It was attempted to be amended many times 33 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 5: a day. None of those worked. It was a high 34 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 5: percentage of only Democrats, I believe on those amendments, and 35 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 5: tomorrow we'll see. And I think then it puts even 36 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 5: more burden on the see for the relationship that they 37 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 5: have down the road between Chambers and I think once 38 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 5: it became public the reasons fart have been fleshed out more. 39 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 5: I get text Aliday, Well, I've seen you on Newsmax 40 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 5: on Fox on your show explaining it why and then 41 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 5: the reason why is that they've done it and now 42 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 5: hypocritically are against it and have done it for decades. 43 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 5: And if you look at the map nationally, I think 44 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 5: somehow they think this has to do with our own state. 45 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 5: This has nothing to do with our states. This is 46 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,839 Speaker 5: a macro This is a macro discussion, an electoral one. Yes, 47 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 5: that they do not pull any punches. They have gerrymandered it, 48 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 5: like I've said many times on this show, to. 49 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 3: Where they can't do it anymore. 50 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 5: And the loud, vocal oppositions from Democrats and liberal, moderate independent. 51 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 5: So here we are. 52 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: Hearing a lot of local reporters from various different media 53 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: outlets say that if the Senate we're voting right now 54 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: today on December fourth, they would not have the votes. 55 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 2: It would be a no right now, have you heard 56 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: anything like that? Are you talking to people? Are your 57 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: staff members talking to people? 58 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 5: I don't think most of the public realized that it 59 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 5: was split evenly as of when they took that adjournment vote, 60 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 5: it would have been understood, well, it's not even close. 61 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 5: But whenever you have half of your caucus for something 62 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 5: and half against, it's generally going to be people wanting 63 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 5: to do it, leadership digging in on not wanting to 64 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 5: do it, and then when you did it outside of 65 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 5: the framework of a public discussion, you could hide behind that. 66 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 5: So I think that there's been more and more pressure 67 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 5: from outside from within. A large majority of who's your 68 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 5: Republicans want to do it, and that is clear, and 69 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 5: that's gained as we've discussed it and brought it to 70 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 5: this culmination. 71 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: No guarantee though, if this passes through the Senate, this 72 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: all happens, the redrawing of the maps, there's no guarantee 73 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: that those two seats are going to flip, right, I mean, 74 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like like we're all sitting 75 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 1: here high five in each other and all of a sudden, 76 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: you know, but there's still just no guarantee, is. 77 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 5: There, assuming the Senate does the right thing. Yes, and 78 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 5: you can look the odds up. It's very high percentage 79 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 5: unless you'd really have a candidate that didn't make sense 80 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 5: and you get a couple of those dandies now and 81 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 5: then and otherwise, I mean, it's really high that it 82 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 5: would do then what it's done in all the blue 83 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 5: states that have almost the same kind of arithmetic. Massachusetts 84 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 5: would be the best comparison because we're almost identical and 85 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 5: they've not had a Republican bust through in a long 86 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 5: long time. 87 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 2: Governor Mike Brawn with us in studio here on the 88 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: Hammer in Nigel Show. You can watch it live on 89 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: the YouTube camera or just turn your radio up here. 90 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 2: Either way, we appreciate you. How is your relationship today 91 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: with the Senate pro Tem Rod Bray. I feel like 92 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 2: the last time we spoke it wasn't in a great place. 93 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: Since then, like we talked about he said, all right, 94 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring the Senate back. There are some people 95 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 2: that feel like he's doing that because he knows he 96 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: doesn't have the votes and he thinks it will be 97 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: something embarrassing. 98 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 4: Onto you take me through your relationship, I. 99 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 5: Think you're probably reading too deeply into that theory. I 100 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,679 Speaker 5: think here, this is no different than what they did, 101 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 5: and I've talked about it before, giving USB one which 102 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 5: we were going to have to negotiate probably away from 103 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 5: that to get Remember it passed with two Senate votes, 104 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 5: so it would be in him and leadership that made 105 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 5: that a difficult navigation. And if you remember that took 106 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 5: about three months, this is almost about the same timeframe here. 107 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 5: I'm surprised that they haven't taken the queue, because let's 108 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 5: say they don't, this is not the end of it. 109 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 5: Do you think the White House is going to just 110 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 5: drop the issue? When they've come in twice with the 111 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 5: Vice president twice with phone calls. 112 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 3: You guys have gone there. 113 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 5: Yes, So that doesn't mean it's over like you can 114 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 5: get that off of your agenda. It just then becomes 115 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 5: a different type of a pursuit and it's a longer 116 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 5: term possibly, And I don't think it'd be a dead 117 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 5: issue even in the session when it starts in January. 118 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 5: So I think all of that would make you wonder 119 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 5: why they die on that hill. Now when there have 120 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 5: been more people for it, you're not losing people that 121 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 5: were for it in the first place, and we're gaining momentum, 122 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 5: and you can see across a wide spectrum. 123 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: One of the positions is I've heard even Republicans say 124 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: that we don't want Washington, d c. 125 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 3: Pushing us around. Is there an answer to that. 126 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 5: I think that would be from the part of our 127 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 5: party that was never really bought into America first and 128 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 5: are still hanging on to maybe establishment politics. But look 129 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 5: how that worked in sixteen. I mean, there were fifteen 130 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 5: candidates that would have been in that posture, all of 131 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 5: them taken out of the political scene, and then you 132 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 5: can see what's happened since then. The first term, we 133 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 5: got a real dose of really what works Biden nomics 134 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 5: and all of that, and obviously that was such a 135 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 5: poor seller. You know, Trump got re elected and now 136 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 5: you've got some of those old Rhino Republicans that still 137 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 5: are living in that world that's not the current world 138 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 5: of conservative politics. Turning Points coming in tomorrow and I'm 139 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 5: going to be speaking there the youngest part. 140 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: Tell them they were Hoosiers, not Indiana Ends though, please 141 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: because they made that mistake already. 142 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,679 Speaker 4: What's that that Turning Point USA put. 143 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 2: Out a tweet and they said, hey, Indiana Ends, you 144 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: need to make sure you're contacting your representatives like we 145 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 2: have the same goal we got. 146 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 4: I want nine to zero. But you can't cost Indiana. 147 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 5: We've got probably more chapters per capita of turning point 148 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 5: groups across our state. That's resonating everywhere. And again, remember 149 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 5: this is a national concern. We're not talking about state 150 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 5: and Senate or rep and Senate districts. This is part 151 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 5: of the electoral college that we play within. 152 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: Health Virginia is trying to change theirs from like six' 153 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 2: five to ten to. 154 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 5: One and to, me it's a heid to hypocrisy that 155 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 5: you're complaining about it when you've done it to the 156 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 5: limit and you know you can't go much. Further so 157 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 5: it's that. 158 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 4: Discussion one more thing here before we let you. 159 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 2: Go we were talking a little bit earlier about the 160 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: unemployment numbers that were. Released at a national, level unemployment 161 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: was a little. Lower, people you, know had a smaller. 162 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 2: Number we're filing for. Benefits that's a good. 163 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 4: Thing. 164 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 2: Here how Was indiana doing as we're in this holiday. 165 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 2: SEASON i know money can get tight into the, year 166 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: things can get tight jobs compared to wages. 167 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 4: Inflation how are we doing. 168 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 5: So Black friday you had retail sales up nine percent, 169 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 5: online four to five percent brick and. Mortar that's about 170 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 5: as good as we've had in recent. Times when you 171 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 5: look at a state like, ours where the budget austerity 172 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 5: that was based upon, tariffs that's all been. Dissipated so 173 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 5: our state government is cash flowing much better with real 174 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 5: revenues coming in than what the budget is indicated it. 175 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 5: Would and that's because we're doing things, Already like when 176 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 5: it comes to how we incentivize building our, economy we 177 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 5: have taken those incentivizing money that we were spending fifty 178 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 5: five thousand dollars per, job yielding a thirty six dollars 179 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 5: in our, wage we're spending one third as, much and 180 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 5: we bump that pay up to forty one. Bucks those 181 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 5: are just a few of the. Things so our unemployment 182 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 5: rate compared to our peer Group midwestern states is. Good 183 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 5: and the fact that we're running state government with a 184 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 5: lot more, efficiency that'll be the dividend of how we 185 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 5: pay for lower taxes down the. Road the last twelve, 186 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 5: YEARS i don't think there's been much attention to running 187 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 5: our own state government like a business would run.
