That is 50 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: the Shreeve Holcome group of people. You're going to put 51 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: them back in charge of the state. What the thing 52 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: you have spent if you're a conservative in the state 53 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: decades trying to change and alter, You're going to put 54 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: those people right back in charge of running the show. 55 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: And Jacob Stewart in great detail in this column talks 56 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: about how rural Indiana is going to get totally hosed 57 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: and how Indianapolis will be back in charge of the state. 58 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: That is what you're doing. If you're a rapper. Your 59 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: senator is voting for these maps. 60 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: So one thing you had mentioned that this will definitely 61 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 3: benefit the political consultant types. One thing that I have 62 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: not heard anybody mention it will also benefit Indianapolis media 63 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 3: because imagine how much money those people who want to 64 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 3: win those races are going to have to spend Before 65 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 3: it would be one person spending a lot of money, 66 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: one person in their counterpart from the differing party. Now, 67 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 3: with Marion County being split up into four different sections, 68 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 3: that's four different races. 69 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, representation is supposed to be about just that being 70 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: a representative. It's supposed to be out about representation. When 71 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: you look at the way this country was set up, 72 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: there's a reason the founding fathers set up our form 73 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: of governance the way in which they did. The Senators 74 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: are supposed to be the long vision elite group of people. 75 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: We talk about all the time, how the Senator is 76 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: one hundred people who believe they should be president. It's 77 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: why they're elected every six years. It's why they represent 78 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: the entire state. That's why there's only two of them. 79 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: But the House is supposed to be literally what it says, 80 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: representation of a community, a like minded group of people. 81 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: And when you draw the districts, one of the things, 82 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: if you actually give a damn about the public that 83 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: you're supposed to be serving, that you're supposed to consider 84 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: is communities of interest. And when you look at these maps, 85 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: when you have somebody literally these districts now just go 86 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: straight down from Indianapolis to the southern border of Indiana, 87 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: who have nothing in common, who literally will have direct 88 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: competing interests conflicts. If you're their representative, whose side are 89 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: you're going to choose? Well, of course you're gonna choose 90 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: where the money. 91 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 4: The population is right, the money is and your going. 92 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: And this is we have been saying this, and I'm 93 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: so glad Jacob wrote this column and it's so well 94 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: done because it is everything we have been saying.

The reason why 127 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 3: the committee took. 128 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 4: Up the bill was because of Barack Obama. 129 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 5: Before I recognize represented Smaltz to close on the legislation, 130 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 5: I just have a few comments. This committee almost didn't 131 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 5: take up this issue. But it wasn't President Trump that 132 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 5: commenced me to do it as President Obama. When President 133 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 5: Obama chose to wage a public relations campaign to urge 134 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 5: voters in California to overturn their constitution and their nonpartisan 135 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 5: redistricting Commission so that they could erase Republican seats. 136 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: It was Governor Pritzker. 137 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 5: In Illinois whose gross hypocrisy after Illinois created outrageous looking 138 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 5: districts to erase three Republican seats in the twenty twenty 139 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 5: one redistricting process. I don't like these rules, but I 140 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 5: didn't make these rules. 141 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 2: Do make the rules. 142 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 4: So this whole thing they keep saying this, you zoom, 143 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 4: make the rules. 144 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 3: It's about Illinois, This is about California, this is about Massachusetts. 145 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 3: Do you hear them say this is about Indiana? 146 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: Nope? 147 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: And that's what's coming out of this is these people 148 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: are admitting they don't give a damn about you. You're 149 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: going to get screwed unless you live in Indianapolis.
