And yeah, she allegedly 24 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: was playing fast and loose with a lot of the 25 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: rules case. 26 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, and so now we've got this full report and 27 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 3: she is under an. 28 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: Ethics cloud, a cloud cloud, a cloud of scrutiny slash 29 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: potential scann. 30 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 3: Now it's now to the state Ethics Commission to decide 31 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 3: whether she violated state law and what, if any sanctions 32 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: will be. 33 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: Okay, so let's reset who this woman is and why 34 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: this matters, because this Jennifer Ruth Green story has it's 35 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: one of those stories where there's the thing that's happening, 36 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: and then there's the tentacles of the thing, and the 37 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: tentacles are really the stuff you need to pay attention to. 38 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: So and again, most of you are fully aware because 39 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: you are the most informed audience in the entire land. 40 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: But for those of you who are new, maybe we're 41 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: on vacation last week. We have new people coming in 42 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: and out all the time. Just indulge me for just 43 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: a quick moment as we remind you who this failed 44 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: former congressional candidate is. That's what Jennifer. Jennifer Green was 45 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: an idea. She's just the perfect political imagery in which 46 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: all she was was some idea and sales pitch and 47 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: the reality was a giant turn. So Jennifer Ruth Green 48 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: ran for Congress in twenty twenty two, and she was 49 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: the new chosen Golden Girl. She ran in the first 50 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: Congressional district, which is northwest Indiana the region. And despite 51 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: all the huffing and puffing about what a great candidate 52 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: she was and how compelling her story was and she 53 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: was the future of the Indiana Republican Party, she lost, lost, lost, 54 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: as in the TV show as in Once I Was 55 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: lost and now I Am Found. And as a result 56 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: of that, she did what most people, not most many 57 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: people in the government or who desire to be in 58 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: government do. They failed upwards. Yeah, she was rejected by 59 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: their voters, somewhat resoundingly. It turned out the idea of 60 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: her wasn't nearly as impressive as the reality of her. 61 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: But instead of letting her just drift quietly into the sunset, 62 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: the Republican Party said, no, no, no, If we keep 63 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: shoving you down people's throats, they might see past all 64 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: of the highly obvious flaws to any of us who 65 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: are paying attention. And so the Braun administration gave her 66 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: this cushy two hundred and seventy five thousand dollars job 67 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: as the public Safety secretary. Now, Braun's claim on Hammer 68 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: and Nigel about why he picked her was she had 69 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: some background in cybersecurity. Well, you know who else is 70 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: a background in cybersecurity? Casey who my wife? And she 71 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: wasn't in the conversation, and if that's all you had 72 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: to have, there were a lot of people who are 73 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: hell of a lot more qualified than her. Because she 74 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: wasn't picked because of her qualifications. She was picked because 75 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: they wanted to keep this this facade of being some 76 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: sort of next great Republican leader going, and the best 77 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: way to do that was to put her in this 78 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: position of influence of power and notoriety where they could 79 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: keep her name out there until the next chosen thing 80 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: that she wanted to run for. She was picked to 81 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: run for. The problem is she was so unqualified, as 82 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: some of us tried to say, and was so self 83 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: absorbed and had such self indulgence, I guess is the 84 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: right word, that she couldn't contain herself even for a 85 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: few months, and basically as soon as she got into 86 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: the position, started playing fast and loose with the rules, 87 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: allegedly in a variety of areas, which led to a 88 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: wide ranging investigation from the Inspector General, which ultimately resulted 89 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: in her resignation. What was that? I guess it was 90 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: a week ago Friday? 91 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: Correct? 92 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: Did I sum it up? 93 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 2: You got it? 94 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 3: A couple points I'd like to add, your wife never 95 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 3: ran for congress. 96 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: That's when your wife is married to you. 97 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,119 Speaker 1: She's never lost a congressional race. 98 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 3: A couple of reasons why maybe the Braun administration did 99 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 3: not congressional lost. 100 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: Jennifer Ruth Green won Ebrielle Kendall's zero. 101 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 3: So some of the allegations now include ghost employment, which 102 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 3: is a felony in Indiana, and also misuse of state property. 103 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's a and by the way, the 104 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: Capitol Chronicle, who Okay, don't I get to say I 105 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: broke the story.
