Right over there. 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: We'll go straight to the hotline and bring on Senator 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: Jim Banks. Lots of stuff going on, Senator, We'll start 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: with the trucking tip line, especially after just a tragic 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: week in central Indie with what happened in Hendricks County 6 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: and then a couple of weeks ago with another trucker 7 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: that was in a legal immigrant that killed multiple people. 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: Can you tell us about the trucking tip line and 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: what the future holds for that. 10 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 2: Well, guys, this keeps happening. It's tragic, it's unbelievable. It 11 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: truly makes me sick. And just another incident yesterday killed 12 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: a sixty four year old who's your Last week, you 13 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,639 Speaker 2: had four Amish men who were killed by an illegal 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 2: trucker in Jay County, not far from where I live 15 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: up in Columbia City. He had a National Guard soldier 16 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: killed last fall by an illegal. Well, he was in 17 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: a he was in a training exercise driving a humv 18 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: on an Indiana highway. Any illegal from the country at 19 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 2: Georgia I'd swipe them and the hum vy rolled over 20 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: and he died. There are so many examples of this happening, 21 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: and this is so tragic that the more we talk 22 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 2: about it, the more I hear from truckers and legitimate 23 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: trucking companies who tell me that this is bigger and 24 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 2: there are more of these illegals on the road than 25 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: any of us have any idea. In Indiana's the crossroads 26 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 2: of America. So you have highways going in every direction. 27 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: You have semi trailers and trucks going through our state, 28 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 2: thousands of them every day, and a lot of them 29 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: are being driven by people who should never be behind 30 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 2: the wheel of a semi truck. And how how is 31 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: it happening? We have to ask these questions. They're getting 32 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: CDLs from blue state governors like Pennsylvania, from states like 33 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: New York and California. They're finding loopholes in the law. 34 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: Yesterday we're finding this was a guy with an illegal 35 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: driver's license who was able to get a CDL from 36 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: the state of Indiana because of loophole's our own state 37 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: that are trying to be fixed by Governor Braun and 38 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: our state legislators at the state House in the session 39 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 2: right now. But it keeps happening because you have trucking 40 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: schools that are fake and these illegals will go and 41 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: get a fake certificate even though they didn't go through 42 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: the actual courses. One of them was shut down by 43 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: Secretary Duffy that gave the certificate certified the illegal that 44 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: killed the Amish men last week. And then and then 45 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: you have these chamellion carrier companies. We're finding out that 46 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: there are a lot of them, even in the state 47 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: of Indiana. We called the chamellion carriers because they get 48 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: shut down for violating the law, and then overnight they 49 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: pop back up under a different a different number, and 50 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 2: then they go out and hire illegals. And I think 51 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: that I think that's something that's related to the incident 52 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: that happened yesterday too. So I set up guys. I 53 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: set up the hotline long way of saying, the more 54 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: we talk about it, the more I hear from hardworking 55 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: truckers on the road who are outraged because these illegals 56 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: are stealing their jobs. They can't speak English, they can't 57 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: read our traffic signs, they don't know the customs on 58 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 2: our roads. They're dangerous, and they're killing hoosiers. So the 59 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 2: tip line is my way of the listening information from 60 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: those people. In the business, and I'm taking all of 61 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: that information I've already received a lot of it and 62 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: giving it to the Inspector General at the Department of Transportation, 63 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: and then they're following up and investigating the information that 64 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: we provide. Hopefully we can save lives. But I got 65 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: to tell you, I'm sick about the incident that happened yesterday. 66 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: It keeps happening, and I'm afraid it's going to keep 67 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: happening if we don't do more to stop it. 68 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: Senator. 69 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: So let's say this becomes reality and somebody calls the 70 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 3: tip line that you're pushing forward right now, what then, like, 71 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: Because we can only do so much as citizens, right then, 72 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 3: we rely on elected officials and business leaders. In this case, 73 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 3: what happens when somebody would call the tip line. 74 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 2: Well, we don't replace law enforcement. My office set up 75 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: this tip line the solicit information from people who have it. 76 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: But if you see something illegal happening on the road, 77 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 2: called law enforcement, I'm not the law enforcement. I'm the 78 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: senator in my Senate office just taking that information and 79 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: providing it to the existing Inspector General, whose job it 80 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: is at the Department of Transportation to investigate these schools 81 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 2: investigate these trucking these shady trucking companies that are hiring 82 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 2: illegals and then shutting them down. And Secretary Duffy has 83 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: already done a little bit of that, but I think 84 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 2: there's a lot more of that that has to happen 85 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: to go after the bad guys who are hiring illegals 86 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: putting them dangerously behind the wheel of semi trucks. I 87 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 2: don't know if you saw the video of the incident 88 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 2: last week. I mean, this truck driver slammed right in, 89 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: right into the back when he could have swerved and 90 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 2: and and avoided a collision. A he ran right into 91 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: the back of these Amish men in the vehicle that 92 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 2: they were they were being driven in and killed them. 93 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: It was completely avoidable. And if these if these drivers 94 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 2: knew how to drive a semi truck, if they were 95 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: trained properly, if they were here legally, if they could 96 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 2: speak English, a lot of these lives would be saved. 97 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: But the system is completely broken. We got to fix it. 98 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: We know there are millions of illegals that are in 99 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: this country, which gets back to the whole debate over 100 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: ICE and supporting the mission of ICE to deport illegals 101 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 2: out of America. But there are way too many of 102 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: these shady companies that are giving them jobs and putting 103 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 2: them behind the wheels semi trucks. And by the way, 104 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: they're taking good paying jobs away from hardworking hoosiers who 105 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: drive these semi trucks and and and their day interiously 106 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 2: putting them behind the wheel The results are tragic, as you. 107 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 3: Know, speaking with Senator Jim Banks here on the Hammer 108 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 3: In Nigel Show, Senator, we know there's a partial government 109 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 3: shut down right now. How is that affecting some of 110 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 3: the things that we rely on day to day as citizens. 111 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 2: Well, it's totally related with what we've been talking about. 112 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 2: I mean, the Democrats are banging their fists on the 113 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: table and saying, defund ICE, stop ICE from deporting illegals. 114 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 2: That's what this partial shutdown is all about. The irony 115 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 2: is that the big beautiful bill funded ICE for the 116 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: next year and a half. So they're sort of they're 117 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 2: lying to their Democrat voting base who's telling them to 118 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 2: go out and shut down ICE because Democrats hate ICE 119 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: and what they stand for and deporting illegals. But ICE 120 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 2: is funded for the next year and a half the 121 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 2: part of the Department of Homeland Security that is shut 122 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 2: down is the Secret Service, the FEMA, which is really 123 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 2: important with disaster relief, and then the TSA agents. Those 124 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: are the ones who are affected. On ninety five percent 125 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: of those employees are deemed essential, so they still go 126 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: to work every day like TSA agents, but they won't 127 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 2: get paid until the Democrats fund Department of Homeland Security. 128 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 2: But ICE won't be touched by any of that. But 129 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: that what their their demands to President Trump is, will 130 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: we will give up the votes to fund Department of 131 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: Homeland Security if you give in to our demands and 132 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 2: rain in ICE and stop them from wearing uniforms and masks, 133 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: and they have to have a warrant every time they 134 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: arrest an illegal, which is absurd that we completely prevent 135 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 2: them from doing their jobs and crack down on all 136 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: of the important work that they're doing. But by the way, 137 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 2: I've been I've been in touch this week with the 138 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: White House, and I don't think it's ever been reported, 139 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: but they've told us informally that forty four hundred about 140 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: illegals have been deported out of the state of Indiana. 141 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: I think that's a way too small of a number. 142 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 2: It's why we have to fund and back them up, 143 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: not prevent them from doing their job. At least in 144 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: Indiana though, we have a governor who supports the mission 145 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: of ICE. This is what makes us different from Minnesota 146 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: and Minneapolis and Indiana. We have a governor who The 147 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: first thing that Governor bron did was signed an executive 148 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 2: order that says that the Indiana State Police will cooperate 149 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 2: with federal authorities like ICE to deport illegals and get 150 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: these criminals off of our streets. So this is related 151 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 2: to the illegals that are driving behind the wheel of 152 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 2: a semi truck. I mean, that's what ICE is supposed 153 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 2: to do, is get them out of our country. It's 154 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: why I fully support what they're doing. But Democrats are 155 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 2: trying to block them from doing their job. 156 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: And then on top of all that, Senator Banks, we're 157 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: talking also about the Save Act, Donald Trump's initiative to 158 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: prove you got to prove that you're an American citizen 159 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: to register to vote and voter IDs at the polls. 160 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: Where are we with UH with the Save Act, Save 161 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: America Act, and what can we expect in the future there? 162 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: I mean guys, all all of these subjects are related. 163 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 2: I mean, Democrats flooded our country with tensive millions of 164 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 2: illegals who have taken Americans jobs. They want to they 165 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: want to allow them to vote. That's why the Save 166 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: Act is important. And we know that in some ditties 167 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: illegals do vote in local elections, which is unbelievable. But 168 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 2: the Save Act is about protecting our federal elections. When 169 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 2: we elect the president, when you elect the Senators, may 170 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: elect me, or your congressman or your congresswoman. You should 171 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: you should be forced to present a photo ID. No, 172 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: we already do that in Indiana. The Democrats say, this 173 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: is Jim Crow two point zero. It's racist to require 174 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: a voter voter I d which is which is? You 175 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 2: know it's it's It's hilarious because when the Democrats go 176 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: on the floor, when they went on the floor of 177 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: the House last week to vote against the Save Act, 178 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: they had to use a photo ID to vote. I 179 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 2: mean that I used to serve the House. You have 180 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 2: a you have a voting card with your picture on 181 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: it when you vote in Congress. So the Democrats they say, 182 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 2: that's that's Jim Crow two point zero. But they all 183 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 2: have a voting card with their idea with their with 184 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 2: the picture on it when they when they show up 185 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: and vote. So in Indiana already has some of the 186 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 2: best voter idea laws in the country, and all the 187 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 2: Save Act does is require that nationally and federal elections. 188 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 2: We're going to vote on it in the Senate, but 189 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 2: the problem is with the with the filibuster and cloture rules. 190 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: We need sixty votes to pass it now. President Trump, 191 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: just minutes ago before I came on the air with 192 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 2: you guys just posted I was skimming it before we 193 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: went live. But he's very serious about doing whatever it takes, 194 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: and I'm I'm I'm with him on this. We should, 195 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 2: we should, We should do away with the filibuster on 196 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: the Save Act and prevent illegals from voting in our elections. 197 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 2: The midterm elections, one of is one of the most 198 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: important elections in America's history, and we have to see 199 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 2: we have to protect our elections, the integrity of our elections. 200 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 2: There's nothing more important to do to change the rules 201 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 2: of the Senate with the filibuster and allow for a vote. 202 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: The Americans gave Republicans the majority of the Senate. They 203 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: gave the White House to President Trump and a House 204 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 2: majority for a reason, and the House passed the Save Act. 205 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 2: By the way, in the Senate, the only Democrat who 206 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 2: has the courage to vote with us on it is 207 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: John Is Senator Fetterman, who supports this. You have some really, 208 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: you have some Republicans, though over a hold not Mitch 209 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 2: McConnell is against it. He's fortunately he's retiring at the 210 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 2: end of the year, but completely out of touch when 211 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 2: it comes to an issue like this, which I think 212 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: previously in his career he did support voter ID laws 213 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 2: at the national level. But he's against it, I suppose 214 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 2: because President Trump is for it. But I think we 215 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 2: can get the fifty one votes. To get fifty votes 216 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: and vice President of VANCEL show up and gladly break 217 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: the tie and pass it. Secure our elections. The Save 218 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: Act is it's that important that we do it, and 219 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 2: I'm doing every thing I can to make sure that 220 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 2: we get a vote on it and pass it. 221 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 3: Yes, Senator, We've been talking on our show, like I 222 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 3: get the argument of well, if you bypass certain rules 223 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 3: to get the Save Act through, then you open yourself 224 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 3: up to a bigger can of worms, but election security, 225 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 3: to me seems like the biggest can of worms. Everything 226 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 3: these radical Democrats want to do involves changing the election 227 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 3: outcome in some way, whether it's open borders, whether it's 228 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 3: something else. So what's the argument you're hearing against moving 229 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 3: this for a full vote. 230 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 2: Well, you make a great point really quick before I 231 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 2: get to that. I mean, the Democrats manipulated the census 232 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. They gave blue states more congressional seats 233 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: and they took seats at Texas and Florida should have 234 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: gotten more seats, but they didn't because they were counting 235 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 2: illegals and the census. This is why Indiana should have 236 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: done it. Did its part to redistrict and account for 237 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 2: those illegals and do the mid cycle redistrict. It made 238 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 2: a lot of sense to do it. And now you 239 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 2: have Democrat You have Democrat states like Virginia that are 240 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 2: redistricting and and Maryland and these other states that are 241 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: going in and eliminating Republican districts. So that's how the 242 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 2: Democrats play. Indiana had a chance to do something about it, 243 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 2: and we had some squishy state senators that that prevented 244 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 2: that from happening unfortunately, But in the meantime, the Save 245 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 2: Act is our last line of defense. You have some 246 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 2: a few, a very very few, and I think they're 247 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 2: I think they're misguided, and they've contradicted themselves in the 248 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 2: past who say that that this this is a state issue, 249 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 2: not a federal issue. But constitutionally, we're talking about federal 250 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: elections and we already have federal election laws. So the 251 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 2: Save Act amends existing federal election law to require an 252 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 2: ID when you show up to vote in a federal election. 253 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 2: There's that's completely constitutional, and the states still administer and 254 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 2: run our elections, but there should be a basic, basic 255 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: protection of the integrity of our elections by requiring a 256 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: photo ID when you vote, so that my vote in 257 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 2: Indiana matters just as much as a state like a 258 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 2: blue state or a swing state when they show up 259 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: and vote. Otherwise, you're watering down my vote when you 260 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: allow illegals or when you allow people who aren't eligible 261 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: to vote in other states to cast their vote in 262 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: a federal election that ends up electing the President of 263 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: the United States. 264 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 3: For example, Senator Jim Banks, Senator, we always appreciate your time, 265 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 3: and if we ever run into you at a Hammond 266 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 3: Bears game. We'll buy you the first beer. 267 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: I can't wait. I'm going to become a Bears fan 268 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 2: if that happen. 269 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 3: Thank you so much. We appreciate you. 270 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: Have a good day. 271 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 3: It's the hammer in Nigel Show.
