1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: Okay, we have some big breaking news. This is according

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: to Nicky Kelly, friend of the program head honcho over

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: there at the Indiana Capitol Chronicle.

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: She says, quote JD.

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: Vance will pay another visit to Indiana on Friday to

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: push Senate Republicans towards redistricting Indiana's congressional map. I have

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: three sources confirming, though still waiting for official words.

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 3: Okay, Vice President coming back.

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: So you got to give the Trump administration credit.

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: They're fighters, not on fighting to make food more affordable

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: or you know, get federal spending under control or anything

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: that might benefit you. But when it comes to rigging

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: the maps in their favor, give them credit. Case they

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: will not be deterred. They are not giving up.

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 3: What do you think he's gonna do. He's gonna come

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 3: in and be mad, Hey, you haven't.

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 2: Done what we asked you to do.

18
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen it? Is a cult classic, but weird.

19
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: Al Yankovic had a movie called UHF. I think it

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: came out in nineteen eighty nine. It's a fabulous movie.

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: If you've never seen it, go see it because it

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: is actually sort of the mannerisms and character traits of

23
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: Michael Richards, who played Kramer, is one of the main

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: characters in the movie. He was he was aknown actor,

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: but certainly not nearly as famous as he became. He

26
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: plays a character called Stanley Spadowski, and a bunch you

27
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: can see that a bunch of what became the Kramer

28
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: mannerisms and character traits sort of are being tried out

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: in the Stanley Spadowski character. And weird al what he

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: inherits right, a low power television station and he begins

31
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: to program with all this wacky, weird stuff on this

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: low power television station. And there's a guy who his

33
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: tagline is you So Stupid and actually became a famous

34
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: character actor in the nineties.

35
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 2: And I feel like that's what jd. Vance is going

36
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: to do.

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: He's going to bring that guy with him and he's

38
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: just going to shout, Oh, you so stupid.

39
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: What are you going to say? At this point?

40
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, clearly these lawmakers are not hearing from their constituents

41
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: that they want it. It appears that if they're hearing anything,

42
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: the prevailing wisdom is don't do it. These Republicans are

43
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: not worth further rigging our system for and now more

44
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: than ever with the Secretary of State getting a legitimate challenger.

45
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: In terms of bo Bye.

46
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: These lawmakers be going, we're not given more Ammo fuel

47
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: to his fire to get people to come out and

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: vote and wouldnot otherwise vote right.

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: They've been saying that there's no appetite for it here

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: in Indiana. Jd Vance is what going to serve some

51
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: more dervs so that we do get an appetite for it.

52
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 1: Mike my, if I am a person of any sort

53
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: of decency and fairness, I would look right ahead him

54
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: and go why without saying because Massachusetts or because California

55
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: or whatever, say why why would I do this?

56
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: Our maps were so good.

57
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: We were one of the few states in the Union

58
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: who didn't get sued. The maps were so good and

59
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: so quote unquote fair that the Democrats just folded their

60
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: tent ands and we'll just accept these and go along

61
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: with it. Mister Vice President, were a will aim at

62
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: hi and say sixty to forty state seventy eight percent

63
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: of our congressional maps are Republican, seventy percent of our

64
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: House seats are Republican, eighty percent of our Senate seats

65
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: in the state House are Republican. The maps are already

66
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: drawn in favor of the Republicans compared to the actual

67
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: vote totals in this state. Why would we mess with

68
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: them and otherwan without telling me politically, why you want

69
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: it done? Because I'm not here to play politics. I'm

70
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: here to serve the people. What answer could he possibly have?

71
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: Well, Jim Banks is on board.

72
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: He was on a talk show last night talking about

73
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: the census and how it was off.

74
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: Now, this is what's interesting. Our old pal Steve. Now

75
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: we've talked about Steve before in this program. He's not

76
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: in the media anymore, so you can search, you can

77
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: find Steve if you want. But he was a former

78
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: newspaper writer. And we've talked about Steve quite a bit

79
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,119
Speaker 1: because Steve and I converse on a variety of things.

80
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: He is very knowledgeable about politics and government. We don't

81
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: agree on some things politically, but he's very well versed.

82
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: He actually did some computing on this, and I'll I

83
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: don't think I did I retweet it. Maybe I'll do

84
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: that during the break. I'll go find it during the

85
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: break at Robin Kendall on Twitter if you want to

86
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: see it. He did some number crunching and source sighting.

87
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: It totally refutes because Bank's new thing is the census

88
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: was rigged. Well, hey, Einstein, who did the census? It

89
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: was Trump and the Trump administration and other states included

90
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: by the Banks formula. He's trying to say all that

91
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: it was rigged and all this stuff will happened, this

92
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: would happen to bah blah blah. Texas would have lost

93
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: a seat under this formula.

94
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said, California, you would have lost an additional seat,

95
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: so would Texas and Florida, while Alabama, Minnesota, and Ohio

96
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: would have picked up one extra Okay. So this is

97
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: according to Pew research, not just Steve.

98
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

99
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: So so let's do the math and let's say California loses, okay, check,

100
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Texas loses check.

101
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: Okay.

102
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: So that battle, let's say that balances each other out.

103
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: Those are Republican and Democrat states. Florida loses, could go

104
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: either way, probably republican seat. There's three of the three

105
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: he named It was Alabama, Texas.

106
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: Minnesota, Alabama, Minnesota, Ohio.

107
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: Sorry Alabama, Okay, So Alabama republican state, Texas or of Texas,

108
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: Ohio republican state, Minnesota Democrat state. You're correct, casey two

109
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: Republican states would have lost a seat.

110
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: You know, three Republican. No, you're right, two Republicans. There

111
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: would be three losses in three gains.

112
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: That's correct. It's a wash.

113
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: But Jim Banks as usual, not knowing his head from

114
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: his ass and just doing whatever Trump tells him to do.

115
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: And again, if you know Jim Banks, you desperately need

116
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: to check on his well being because I don't know

117
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: how long a man can go without oxygen. And Jim

118
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: Banks has had his nostrils so far inserted between Trump's

119
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: butt cheeks for so long. I'm worried he's not getting

120
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: enough oxygen to his brain.

121
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 3: Perhaps that's why JD Vance is coming to Indiana, because

122
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: if it's a wash, they're going to rely on Indiana

123
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: to pick up.

124
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: It's all ridiculous. The whole thing is stupid.

125
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: Our maps are fair, our maps are right, our maps

126
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: are accurate, and we shouldn't give in on that and

127
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: rig our election system so that you can have one

128
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: more loser in Congress who will vote for Biden levels spending.

129
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: This is why people don't want it.

130
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: Mister Banks, Senator Banks, whatever we're calling him these days.

131
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: That's why people aren't passionate about it because you, the Republicans,

132
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: you the Republicans in Congress, you, the Republicans who have

133
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: the presidency, aren't giving people anything to believe in, aren't

134
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,119
Speaker 1: getting people, giving people in to be fired up about.

135
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: And so they say, no, thank you, we don't want

136
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 2: any part of this
