That is 48 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: the Shreeve Holcome group of people. You're going to put 49 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: them back in charge of the state. What the thing 50 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: you have spent if you're a conservative in the state 51 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: decades trying to change and alter, You're going to put 52 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: those people right back in charge of running the show. 53 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: And Jacob Stewart in great detail in this column talks 54 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: about how rural Indiana is going to get totally hosed 55 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: and how Indianapolis will be back in charge of the state. 56 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: That is what you're doing. If you're a rapper. Your 57 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: senator is voting for these maps. 58 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: So one thing you had mentioned that this will definitely 59 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 3: benefit the political consultant types. One thing that I have 60 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: not heard anybody mention it will also benefit Indianapolis media 61 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 3: because imagine how much money those people who want to 62 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 3: win those races are going to have to spend Before 63 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 3: it would be one person spending a lot of money, 64 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: one person in their counterpart from the differing party. Now, 65 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 3: with Marion County being split up into four different sections, 66 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 3: that's four different races. 67 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, representation is supposed to be about just that being 68 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: a representative. It's supposed to be out about representation. When 69 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: you look at the way this country was set up, 70 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: there's a reason the founding fathers set up our form 71 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: of governance the way in which they did. The Senators 72 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: are supposed to be the long vision elite group of people. 73 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: We talk about all the time, how the Senator is 74 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: one hundred people who believe they should be president. It's 75 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: why they're elected every six years. It's why they represent 76 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: the entire state. That's why there's only two of them. 77 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: But the House is supposed to be literally what it says, 78 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: representation of a community, a like minded group of people. 79 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: And when you draw the districts, one of the things, 80 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: if you actually give a damn about the public that 81 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: you're supposed to be serving, that you're supposed to consider 82 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: is communities of interest. And when you look at these maps, 83 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: when you have somebody literally these districts now just go 84 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: straight down from Indianapolis to the southern border of Indiana, 85 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: who have nothing in common, who literally will have direct 86 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: competing interests conflicts. If you're their representative, whose side are 87 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: you're going to choose? Well, of course you're gonna choose 88 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: where the money. 89 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 3: The population is right, the money is and your going. 90 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: And this is we have been saying this, and I'm 91 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: so glad Jacob wrote this column and it's so well 92 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: done because it is everything we have been saying.

All the money, all the attention, all 116 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: the all the all the love for pack of a 117 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: lack of a better term, is going to come from 118 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: to and from the city of Indianapolis, and you're you're 119 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: going to end up with much worse representation, certainly over time, 120 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: because rich guys like Jefferson Shree will be able to 121 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: buy the seats. 122 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 3: Well, that's not what Wesco said.

The reason why 125 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 3: the committee took up the bill was because of Barack Obama. 126 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 4: Before I recognize represented Smaltz to close on the legislation, 127 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 4: I just have a few comments. This committee almost didn't 128 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 4: take up this issue. But it wasn't President Trump that 129 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 4: commenced me to do it as President Obama. When President 130 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 4: Obama chose to wage a public relations campaign to urge 131 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 4: voters in California to overturn their constitution and their nonpartisan 132 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 4: redistricting Commission so that they could erase Republican seats. 133 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: It was Governor Pritzker. 134 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 4: In Illinois whose gross hypocrisy after Illinois created outrageous looking 135 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 4: districts to erase three Republican seats in the twenty twenty 136 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 4: one redistricting process. I don't like these rules, but I 137 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 4: didn't make these rules. 138 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 2: Do make the rules. 139 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 3: So this whole thing they keep saying this, you zoom, 140 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 3: make the rules. It's about Illinois, This is about California, 141 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 3: this is about Massachusetts. Do you hear them say this 142 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 3: is about Indiana? 143 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: Nope? 144 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: And that's what's coming out of this is these people 145 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: are admitting they don't give a damn about you. You're 146 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: going to get screwed unless you live in Indianapolis. You're 147 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: totally going to get screwed wherever you're at in this state. 148 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: And like I said, Jacob Stewart, because I know, I 149 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: say things and then I just get called a this 150 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: or that or insulted by these politicians on social media, 151 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: or they go to somebody else and wine and ask 152 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: for sympathy, and like, I know how that goes when 153 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: I say the things.

So the files, they're PDF guides. The files include 191 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 3: instructions for using AI to remove clothing from people or photos. 192 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 3: Oh really, create fake images of people? What sexting with 193 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 3: AI chatbots?

Okay, so all of this obviously, this 196 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: story came out yesterday with Fox fifty nine, and it 197 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: comes in the background of allegations of AI porn being 198 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: viewed in the Lieutenant Governor's office dating back to April, 199 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: in which Aaron Sheridan, a former senior staffer, in the 200 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor's office came on this program as and. 201 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 2: You know she has said that she did, so. 202 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: I don't think we're outing anything that we're not supposed 203 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: to be outing. I think she even said it here 204 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: that she has told the proper authorities this in great detail, 205 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: that there was AI porn being viewed in the Lieutenant 206 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 1: Governor's office by members of the Lieutenant Governor's staff. She 207 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: told the story in great detail on this program of 208 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: who was viewing it, how they were observing it. It 209 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: was of Craig Haggard's wife and an appearance that she 210 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 1: had made at a charity event the night or a 211 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: couple days before. She claims those employees told her that 212 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: the Lieutenant governor knew of the existence of the AI 213 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: pornography that they were viewing, and that she reported it 214 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: to Sherry Ellis, the chief of staff for Micah Beckwi, 215 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: and she did absolutely nothing about it. Now you can 216 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: either again and the whole time it's been well, that's 217 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: so ridiculous. No one's seen the video. Why can't anybody 218 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: produce the video? Of course, then the Lieutenant Gunn claimed 219 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: he did an investigation, wouldn't tell anybody what the investigation 220 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: actually was then admitted he didn't call in any third party, 221 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: any law enforcement agency. So basically the investigation was, hey, 222 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: so and so did you do it? No, Okay, we're 223 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: done here. And the whole time that's been Oh, this 224 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: is so ridiculous. This allegation is so outlandish. I can't 225 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: believe anyone would even begin to believe this. And then 226 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: here we have on state property instructions on how to 227 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: create this stuff. Boy, that's a heck of a coincidence. 228 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 3: Casey Yeah, So, the Indiana Department of Health says that 229 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 3: their systems were hit by a surge of bought activity 230 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 3: on November nineteenth. They said they believe that bad actors 231 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 3: use the activity to upload the illegal or harmful files. 232 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 3: They worked with the Indian Office of Technology IoT to 233 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 3: contain the issue. No data was compromised and most files 234 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 3: were deleted. Some, however, do still show up on Google. 235 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 3: So again, so it's an instruction manual on the state 236 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 3: websites on how to do this. 237 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't look We've said this from the beginning. It 238 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that this actually happened, because ultimately this comes 239 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: back to the allegation made by Aaron Aaron Sheridan that 240 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: Aiparn was being viewed in the Lieutenant Governor's office and 241 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: his emphatic denial that this happened. But just like with 242 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 1: everything else with Mike, and then when you press him 243 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: on it, the story starts to unravel and then you 244 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: later had to essentially admit we didn't do any investigation. 245 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: And so you can either believe right that this woman 246 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: came in lied to authorities, which would get her in 247 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: a monumental amount of trouble if she was caught lying 248 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: about this. She can lie to us and she'sn't going 249 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: any trouble, just be you know, look bad for her. 250 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: But if you lie to lie to the authorities, that's 251 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: a huge issue that she would risk her thirty year 252 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: plus career in state government and risk getting a monumental 253 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: amount of trouble legally lying to the authorities. Came on 254 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: this radio show, was somehow able to repeatedly tell the 255 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: same story over and over and over again. Oh and 256 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: by the way, if she's lying about that, because she 257 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: named the people and the allegations, she would open herself 258 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: up to being sued for everything she's worth. You could 259 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: either accept that person was lying about all of that, 260 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: or go, hmm, boy, this is really interesting even if 261 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: these two things aren't connected, but go, wow, that's a 262 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: heck of a coincidence, isn't it. 263 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 3: It does seem like it is quite the cybersecurity failure, 264 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: and you've got these deep fake problems. They're exploding everywhere, 265 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 3: and it shows that not only is your state government 266 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 3: not prepared for it, they're accidentally helping. 267 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: They're helping just and again, it doesn't mean that these 268 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: the allegation in this are nobody's saying that they are. 269 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that Aaron Sheridan's allegation is one hundred 270 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: percent true. 271 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 2: It doesn't. It's just like, okay, but now. 272 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: You can't say, oh, it's such a salacious, outrageous, ridiculous allegation. 273 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 2: Wait, that would happen when on our state property. 274 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: There are literally instructions on how to do this thing 275 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: that she is saying happened inside of this office. 276 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 3: It also shows you that the infrastructure of the state 277 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 3: websites may be outdated, and you've got bad actors now 278 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 3: treating it like it's free web story. 279 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, so that's the latest on that.

But the idea 328 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 5: of your leader, if you're pro tem, being four redistricting 329 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 5: is kind of a difficult swim because when I was 330 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 5: in the Senate, the majority leader, the pro tem, the 331 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 5: caucus leader, the majority leader were in lockstep together. 332 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 2: I called you guys a triangle of terror. 333 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, exactly. And that's how you lead. That's 334 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 5: how you press your caucus that if the three of 335 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 5: us are supporting this, you should too. That's why you 336 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 5: have budgets that are to your budgets that pass unanimously. 337 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 5: Because the leadership is all in support. Right now, the 338 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 5: majority leader is supporting redistricting, and he's one of the 339 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 5: twenty that are for this proposal. But they will not 340 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 5: be able to find five people out of the twenty 341 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 5: people that are against. So they need twenty five and 342 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 5: they're not going to get there. 343 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 3: So in the House, J. D. Prescott said he was no, 344 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 3: and he switched to yes. Is there an get it 345 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 3: on property tax? 346 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 2: Is theme with JD. Have you ever noticed that case. 347 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 3: Well, I'm just wondering. In the Senate, you're saying, they're 348 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 3: a little bit more steadfast in their position. 349 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, they and you know people used to they probably 350 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 5: still do call it the upper House because they have 351 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 5: four year terms. They can look at the long vision 352 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 5: that you know, when when Trump is not going to 353 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 5: be in office, and and uh and and they follow 354 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 5: their what their constituents say very very closely. And and 355 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 5: and the twenty members that are against this have constituents 356 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 5: that are on fire about it. And uh. Center Good 357 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 5: had had a very good, a very quality productive town 358 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 5: hall meeting with literally one or two people that showed 359 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 5: up the support of the measure. And so a lot 360 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 5: of the members of the caucus, Republican Caucus, are following 361 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 5: the lead of the of the of the pro Tem, 362 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 5: but they're following the lead of their constituents more so 363 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 5: than anything. And so I don't see five flipping in 364 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 5: the next week. There's nothing new that has that has 365 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 5: shown them that they should support this measure. 366 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 3: Like even with the introduction of the map, which they've 367 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 3: probably seen for a while. 368 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,959 Speaker 5: Yeah, they've they've seen they've seen this they've seen probably 369 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 5: has several different renditions, and they need to support their leader. 370 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 5: And they need this more importantly, they need to support 371 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 5: their constituency. 372 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: In hindsight, in August or July or whenever this disaster started, 373 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: shouldn't they have released the map then and said, okay, 374 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: here's what we're pondering, voting on what we would use, 375 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: and then you can go hear from your constituents about it, 376 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: and you could have sold. I mean, the problem is 377 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: they've been selling something that didn't exist, or trying to 378 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: sell something that didn't exist, and it's like too late 379 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: in the game because obviously they don't care what people think. 380 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: By the way, that's pretty insulting. That's something of this magnitude. 381 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: You get people less than twenty four hours notice to hey, 382 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: youd like to tell us what you think. Here's less 383 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: than twenty four hours notice. We'll see you tomorrow. 384 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, I transparency is the name of the game. 385 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 5: And in that scenario which happened, that is not what 386 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 5: that's that's very untoward. That's the wrong way to go 387 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 5: about it. And as well as you know they got 388 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 5: they're greedy and they're going for nine to zero and 389 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 5: there could be a little bit of possibility of flipping 390 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 5: members of the Senate if they would have tried to 391 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 5: just go eight one with with just leaving Carson in 392 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 5: that compect district of Marion County and in trying to 393 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 5: trying to turn away Frank mcvan's reelection efforts next year. 394 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 5: But they didn't do that. They went they're going for 395 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 5: the whole enchilada with nine nothing. 396 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 3: Well, it seems like they're more interested in getting rid 397 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 3: of Carson, Yes, yes, in his district than anything else 398 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 3: right the way they've split it up. 399 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 5: Yes, and having uh Congresswoman Aaron Houchin's district. 400 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 2: Come all the way from waita. 401 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: Her name is professional office hopper, Aaron Hout Jim, We're 402 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: not gonna let you get. 403 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 2: Away with that on this program.

Uh, 416 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 5: it will be challenged immediately. And then you've got a 417 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 5: time factor of everything that goes into running elections a 418 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 5: primary election in May. 419 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: So, okay, Jim Merritt is our guest's talking about the redistricting. 420 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: So Smalls, Ben Smalls, that's his name, that's right, Yeah, 421 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: the rep. Right, he admitted, any I think illegally he's 422 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: doing this for legal purposes because of what Texas ran into. 423 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 1: He got pinned down yesterday, and he just admitted, oh, 424 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: this is holly political. 425 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 2: Purely for political No for now legally. 426 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: Because the thing Texas ran into is the issue with 427 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 1: race and stuff, which is why that map got struck down. 428 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: That's in front of the court Supreme Court right now. 429 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: So hellegally puts himself on better footing by and admitting that. 430 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: But Jim, that looks so bad to tell communities we're 431 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: going to screw you in terms of representation for purely 432 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: political purposes. Legally, good argument, but in the court of 433 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: public opinion that. 434 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 2: Sounds so bad. 435 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 3: Well. 436 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 5: Also, I've not read the bill, but I've been told 437 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 5: that the bill has a language in it that somewhat 438 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 5: slows down the courts and their ability to government. They 439 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 5: decide on this. 440 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: They got a county judge's ability to stop this thing. 441 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: It has to go directly to the state Supreme Court. 442 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: My point is that it's gonna be a federal judge's 443 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: going to knock it down. That's what my assumption is, 444 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: and they don't have any say over that, so they're 445 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: going to take their time doing it. So real quick, 446 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: I want to touch on this because we've got just 447 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: about two minutes left here. One of the major things 448 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: issues that I have with this is representatives are supposed 449 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: to be just that, they're supposed to represent a group 450 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: of like minded people, right, That's why they call it 451 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: a representative. The senator is broad, it's the whole state. 452 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: The representative is supposed to take positions that are better 453 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: for their people because they all have points of commonality 454 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: and interest. These maps got this. When you've got Indianapolis 455 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: in the same district as somebody on the tip southern 456 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: tip of the state, there's no representation there because there's 457 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: not very many points of commonality. You'll have people with 458 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: direct competing interests. How could somebody represent that. 459 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 5: That's why the twenty twenty one maps, which everybody has 460 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 5: been elected on in the General Assembly now we're so outstanding, 461 00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 5: is because they are compat they're defendable, defensible, and and 462 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 5: the Carson District, the Mrvan District huddling around and being 463 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 5: in the right time zone. There are a couple districts 464 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 5: that are being proposed here that are in different time 465 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 5: zones that ladies and gentlemen, that is very hard to represent. 466 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 5: I work for a Member of Congress in nineteen eighty 467 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 5: two and we had a district that was in two 468 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 5: different time zones that was really difficult to serve. And 469 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 5: this is not people who support this are not thinking 470 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 5: about their constituents or they're members of the of Congress constituents, 471 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 5: because that's really where the rubber meets the road. 472 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: All right. 473 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: Find him on Twitter at Jim Underline Merit also Merret 474 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: in the Morning Facebook YouTube.

So yeah, it was. It was a 523 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: very good, good show. But he's been kind of out 524 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: of the news for quite a while now. But there's 525 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: some movie about him. 526 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's it's not a bio pick. And that's 527 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 3: where everybody's getting it wrong because you see this trailer 528 00:26:55,359 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 3: and you've got Hugh Jackman is Wolverine. Wolverine is in 529 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 3: the movie Hugh Jackman, and also Kate Hudson is in 530 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 3: the movie. But you see Hugh Jackman dressed up looking 531 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 3: like he's playing Neil Diamond. 532 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: Is this like saving Silverman? So it's like a Saving 533 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: Silverman recreation. 534 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 3: Well, everybody thinks a biopick on Neil Diamond. It's not 535 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 3: a biopick. It's based on a true story though. It's 536 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 3: it's about these two down on their luck musicians and 537 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 3: they form a Neil Diamond tribute. 538 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 2: That's saving Silverman, isn't that. That's the that's something we've 539 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 2: already done this movie. 540 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 3: Right, So, and that's where the confusion is. So if 541 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 3: you get this, well, let's let's play the trailer. This 542 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 3: is this is what keeps coming across my feet. 543 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 2: I'm not a songwriter, I'm not a sick symbol. 544 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 3: I just want to entertain people, bad things happening over 545 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 3: and over. 546 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 2: I just want to seeing him shine. 547 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: You're gonna do a Neil Diamond showing leash and call 548 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: us those lightning and thunder. 549 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 2: Tell me I'm doing the right thing, trying to be better. 550 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 3: Well, you've ever had a shop, Kyle? 551 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 5: This is it? 552 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 3: Wit? 553 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: Wait wait wait, so this is like a real unlike 554 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: Saving Silverman. You know you've got Arley Ermie as the 555 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: coach taking a dump on the lawn. This is like 556 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: a legitimate movie. What not like a comedy? Like it 557 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like a comedy, doesn't. 558 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 3: No, No, It's supposed to be based on this couple 559 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 3: that they prove it's never too late to fall in 560 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 3: love and follow your dreams. They are pursuing their dreams 561 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 3: of being this Neil Diamond tribute band. I saw the 562 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 3: commercial on TV over Thanksgiving. 563 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 2: It's like the worst movie. 564 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 3: I was with my daughter and we saw the commercial 565 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 3: and she was like, another biopick? Why are all these 566 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 3: musicians coming out with these biopicks? You know, what's the 567 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 3: deal with this? That's the genre right now? This movie 568 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 3: not a biopic. It's about this couple and uh, I 569 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 3: don't know. Some people are saying that Kate Hudson may 570 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 3: get an Oscar for her performance in this movie. Other 571 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 3: people are very confused that Hugh Jackman, who is Wolf Reien, 572 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 3: is trying to be Neil Diamond looks nothing like it. 573 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 3: It's not supposed to be. It's a tribute band keV Kevin. 574 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 3: What is the record? 575 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 2: See? 576 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: I know when Kev's engaged, because he'll get this like 577 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: laugh on his face where he just wants to burst. 578 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: This is the worst movie ever, right, this is going. 579 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 4: To I mean, I guess it's supposed to be like 580 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 4: a feel good rom com story. 581 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 2: But it reminds me of like a Hallmark movie. 582 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 3: And I don't like those. I don't like those. Which 583 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 3: is your favorite Neil Diamond song?

Yeah, 589 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: they want people that think that I thought. 590 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 3: It was a person until I looked into it. 591 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 2: I mean, they're all fine. 592 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: There's not one where I'm like, you know, coming to 593 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: America is great.

He totally changed my life, right, 596 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: you know what did any do? Kentucky Woman and whole 597 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: bunch of whole bunch of hits. 598 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 3: So there you go, cherry cherry. 599 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, no, there's just there's tons of meial diamonds. 600 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 3: Uh. 601 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: Anyway, you have to go see that movie, by the way, 602 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: he thinks, just tell us how bad it is. 603 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe I'll take my daughter of a Christmas since 604 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,719 Speaker 3: we saw the commercial together. 605 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: Now, there was some article you were saying that there 606 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: is a study or something that shows how old is 607 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: too old to shovel snow? 608 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 2: Is it forty? 609 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,959 Speaker 3: What age is too old or no? You're close? 610 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 5: Really? 611 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? They say people over forty five should avoid it. 612 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 3: What Yeah, yeah, especially if you're sixty five plus, if 613 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 3: you have a higher risk of diabetes or high blood pressure, 614 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 3: high cholesterol, tobacco use, a history of heart disease, or obesity, 615 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 3: you should definitely avoid shuffling snow. 616 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 2: Kidding. 617 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 3: And the reasons why is because people often hold their 618 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 3: breath when they're lifting heavy snow, and that spikes your 619 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 3: heart rate and your blood pressure. 620 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 2: What if you got a snow blower, Well. 621 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 3: That's totally different than shoveling. Bending over. They also say 622 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 3: you have a little leg movement when you shovel snow. Yeah, 623 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 3: because you stand in one propression. Yeah, you bend over. 624 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 3: You lift the heavy snow and you're moving very slowly 625 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 3: through it. And also the cold air narrows your blood vessels, okay, 626 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 3: raises your blood pressure. 627 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,239 Speaker 1: Here's my biggest issue with shoveling snow. As long as 628 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: I can get to the snow before someone drives on it, 629 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: I'm fine. The problem is if somebody drives and then. 630 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 3: It packs at its ice down right. 631 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: And then it's hard to get out and you can 632 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: slip and fall. As long as it's snow, just snow, 633 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. It's after somebody has drove on the snow. 634 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: So always tell my wife just park on the street 635 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: and walk up to the house if it's snow, until 636 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: I can get the driveway cover, and then she tells 637 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: me exactly where I can stuff the car and a 638 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: whole bunch of other things, and she pulls in the driveway. 639 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 3: So they say that you should push snow instead of 640 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 3: lifting and throwing it. If you have to have a 641 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 3: shovel and you don't have a snowblower. The other thing 642 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 3: is to get a small shovel. Rather than the big 643 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 3: wide one, have a smaller one. That way, you're not 644 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 3: lifting it'll take you longer. You're not lifting as much snow. 645 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 2: Screw that. 646 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 3: Donald Trump had a cabinet meeting yesterday. He said a 647 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 3: lot of stuff, some good, some very Trump like, and 648 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 3: we'll get into that coming up. It is Kendall and Casey. 649 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 3: It's ninety three d WIVC.
