1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: Hammer and Nigel. 2 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 2: Do you believe these characters are weirdos? 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: Well? I quite frankly, Hammer, I'm very worried about how 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: the state of Indiana is going to operate for the 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: next thirty days without that gas tax income that's generated 6 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: every day. Where are we going to get the funds 7 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: to make sure that we are a functioning government for 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 1: the next thirty days. Governor Braun, of course putting a 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: brief hold on the gas tax for a little relief 10 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: at the pump while the stuff's going down in Iran 11 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: and oil and gas is through the roof, even though 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: prices of oil and barrels have gone cratering since the 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: deal was made with Donald Trump and Iran. The straight 14 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: of horror moves, although we all that in a second, 15 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: but a thirty day holiday as it were for the 16 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: gas tax announced by Governor Braun today, I just don't 17 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: know where we're going to get the income. 18 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: My biggest concern is what's going to happen to our 19 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: perfect roads over the next thirty days without all this 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 2: money coming in that is allegedly being used to fix 21 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 2: these things. Nige like great Now we're going to get 22 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: potholes for the very first time. Oh no, what are 23 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: we going to do? And in case you can't tell, 24 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: we're being incredibly sarcastic here, because if it were up 25 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: to me, you could do away with the entire gas tax. 26 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 2: I'm just waiting to see who's going to be the 27 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: bleeding heart that's going to come out and say that 28 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 2: we need it. I got five bucks on the school corpse, 29 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 2: because it's always the school corpse anytime, albeit kind of 30 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: little like right here, but anytime the taxpayer can get 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: any sort of relief, here come the school corpse. Well, 32 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: you must want little Johnny to be shot in the hallways. 33 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: How are we supposed to pay for our new football field, 34 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: our new baseball field, our new basketball court? How are 35 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: we supposed to pay for all of these things? Were 36 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: cut to the bare bone. We've got all of our 37 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: admins that make six figures, that play on Facebook all day. 38 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 2: What are we supposed to do with them? 39 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: Top five highest gas taxes in the nation. I believe 40 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: we're at number five, California of course, being number one, but. 41 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: Substantially larger state. 42 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, And we're still in the top five in 43 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: terms of gas tax so which is ridiculous. A super 44 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: majority of Republicans. 45 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 2: So the governor was asked earlier today when he was 46 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 2: rolling out this thirty day gas tax holiday, why don't 47 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: you just do it permanently, And of course the answer was, well, 48 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: it's got to come from the General Assembly. We'd have 49 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 2: to call a special session. And let's be honest. And 50 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: this is my perspective here me paraphrasing. Rod Bray's a 51 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: weasel and that's never going to happen as long as 52 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: he's in charge of your Senate. 53 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: Oh no, once the government's got that money, Republicans, Democrats, 54 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. They are not giving it back. 55 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: No none whatsoever. So thirty days after that the governor 56 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: won't reevaluate. I hope that thirty days becomes permanent. I'm 57 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 2: not optimistic because I'm just waiting for the school Corps 58 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: to come out there and say, well, we're going to 59 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 2: have to fire everyone. Little Johnny's not going to have 60 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: a school resource officer. He may get shot down by 61 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 2: mafia hitman. I hope your gas tax was worth it, taxpayers, 62 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: because that's the crap that they pull out, and what 63 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: sucks is people buy it. 64 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look at they did with the property tax. 65 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: The crumbs that the government of Indiana threw us for 66 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: the property tax release. I remember the school boards reacted though, 67 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: you know, I know that's what I'm saying. Carmel made 68 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: it sound like they'd have to shut down. 69 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: Carmel, get out of here. Like if you believe that 70 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: you're the most naive person in the world, when these 71 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: school boards come out there and tell you we might 72 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: have to close, we're gonna have to fire everybody. How 73 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: about you do what every family has to do, make 74 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: some cuts, and be better with your fiscal policies. That's it. 75 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: It's not that complicated.
