1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: So as it got announced today in the conversation about redistricting, 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: which is a big deal. North Carolina did it, of 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: course Texas did it. Then California said we're going to 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: engage in retribution, and they've got this proposition out there. 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: Indiana has been a focus for President Trump and Vice 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: President Vance Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: with you. 8 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 2: And it has been a big push. And today it. 9 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: Got announced that the Governor Mike Brown is calling the 10 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: special session on redistricting. There will be a special session 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: in Indiana to discuss this and devote on this. There 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: are some other issues that will be coming up, talking 13 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: about I think tax law mirroring what's happening on the 14 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: federal level, but leave that to the side. Will they 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: readdistrict in the state of Indiana. Understand that what's being 16 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: called for is the session to bring about a vote. 17 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: No guarantee that it's going to work none. Would the 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: map be a nine to zero map or an eight 19 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: one map again, don't know. There's been rumors of maps 20 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: out there, but there hasn't been anything concrete because. 21 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 2: You haven't had the special session. 22 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: I favor the redistricting when I favor the redistricting because 23 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: the state of Indiana should play a part in the 24 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: safety and the security of the nation. And you say 25 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: to me, aren't the people allowed to vote for whom 26 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: they want to vote for. Absolutely, they are, but the 27 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: districts are not drawn in that way. If you tell 28 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: me that story and somehow you're stealing the vote from Hoosiers, 29 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: they didn't steal the vote in Massachusetts. They didn't steal 30 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: the vote in Illinois. They didn't steal the vote. California didn't. 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: It's a silly argument. Redistricting is a political process where 32 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 1: legislatures run the show. 33 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 2: So it's possible the legislature says we're fine here, leave 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: it alone. 35 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: It's possible that they change the map, and the pressure 36 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: is going to be on them to change the map. 37 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: Me. 38 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: I favor the redistricting because when Texas did it, well, 39 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: Texas did it, and then California said retribution. 40 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: Now Virginia and. 41 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: Other places are talking about this, so now you have 42 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: to fight in that world. You can't say, oh, we're 43 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: above it. You can't say oh, it's beneath us. You 44 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: can't say, well, we don't do that. No, it's mostly 45 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: fair anyway, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no. 46 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: That is not the way it works. You must fight 47 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: the fight that is being fought, and the one that 48 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: has been fought has been this one about redistricting where 49 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: Democrats create these crazy districts. Remember Adam Kinsinger was on 50 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: the January sixth committee, was all about going after Republicans 51 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: as a Republican himself, and what did the Democrats in 52 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: Illinois do? 53 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: They drew him out of his district. 54 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: There is no room in their place for people who disagree, 55 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: and they have drawn these districts, and then they put 56 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: these independent commissions in place to protect their power base. 57 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: And then they look at you and say, why are 58 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: you violating the law, Why are you trying to steal 59 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: a lafe? 60 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: Why can't you just fight fair? Oh? Good lord. They 61 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: want you to live by rules they don't live by. 62 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: California is engaged in retribution, and I believe that one 63 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: must fight that every step of the way. So the 64 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: governor of Indiana has called the special session. Joe Gruiders 65 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: is the chairman of the Republican National Committee, and so 66 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: he was on My morning show before the announcement came out. 67 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: But not only did we talk about that, we talked 68 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: about the value of redistricting, and we also talked about 69 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: the idea of twenty twenty six and what is it 70 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: going to take to win. But first things first on redistricting. 71 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: The chairman of the RNC, Joe Gruders. 72 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 3: Listen, Well, I first thank you for having me on, Tony. 73 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 3: But redistricting is first and foremost to a lot of people. 74 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 2: And we've talked to the. 75 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: President the Vice President. They've been actively working on this issue, 76 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 3: and you know, I have full faith in confidence that 77 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 3: the Indiana will do the right thing at the end 78 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 3: of at the end of the day, and the President's 79 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: taking the lead himself. And we've sent some people along 80 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: with the Vice President just a couple of weeks ago 81 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 3: to Indiana. I know they've had numerous conversations, so we'll 82 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: wait to see what happens. 83 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: You've had the Vice President here twice, you had a 84 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: call from President Trump. You mentioned do the right thing 85 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: in your words in your elevator pitch to Indiana Republicans 86 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: or hoodas in general. 87 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: What how do you describe what the right thing is? 88 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 3: Well, listen, at the end of the day, it's it's 89 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 3: basically resetting the scales to what the Democrats have been 90 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 3: doing for the last couple of decades across the country 91 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 3: and blue states. There's one or two seats in Indiana 92 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 3: that are that are potentially up. But again, you know 93 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 3: what I'm focused on on a day, day in, day 94 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 3: out basis is making sure the election integory is first 95 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: and foremost. We're protecting the vote, We're getting out the vote, 96 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 3: and we're doing everything that we need so no matter 97 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 3: what happens, we're prepared to win the. 98 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: At the midterms do matter? 99 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: Talking to the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Joe Gruders, 100 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: and I want to get to that in a moment, 101 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: But you have Republicans here. It was oddly leaked last 102 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: week that Republicans didn't have the vote, and I thought 103 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: it was a very strange story in that if I 104 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: was a spokesperson for the Indiana Republican Party, I would 105 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: only leak that story if I was trying to put 106 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: pressure on Republicans in Indiana to go in favor of redistricting. 107 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: So first there's the calling of the special session, and 108 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: then there asked to be an actual vote on whether 109 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: or not we redistrict. There will be people who say, 110 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: here are these outsiders coming into Indiana trying to pressure 111 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: our legislators and not letting the state decide for itself. 112 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 2: How do you respond to those things? 113 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 3: Well, listen, you're right, it's the state that will ultimately decide. 114 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 3: But yes, President Trump has made some calls the Vice 115 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: Presidence in there twice in listen just about you know, 116 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 3: I'm state senator and senator in Florida, and so I 117 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 3: know what the pressure as a legilatory that you feel. 118 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, hopefully they'll step 119 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 3: up and do what's right. But I have full faith 120 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 3: and confidence in the President the Vice President and that 121 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 3: their negotiations and their discussions are having with members of 122 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 3: the Indiana Senate and the legislature will be positive. 123 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: And so when they're told that you're just trying to 124 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: steal elections, that you don't know how to fight. You're 125 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: losing on the issues. The Indiana Democratic Party says, you're 126 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: losing on healthcare and you're losing on this, You're losing 127 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: on that. How do you engage with Republicans in response 128 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: to it? 129 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 3: Well, I would say exactly option, because we're winning on 130 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 3: the issues. Because the thirty states attrack voter registration over 131 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: the last four years, we're winning all thirty of those. 132 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: And it's not because of just the party doing its job. 133 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 3: It's because the President is leading on policies. The first 134 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty days has been nothing other than 135 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: spectacular from a delivery standpoint, and I think the American 136 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 3: public sees exactly what's going on and they're responding and 137 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 3: that's why we're winning over voter registration. And so at 138 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 3: the end of the day, like I said, what the 139 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 3: Vice President says is this is a resetting of the 140 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 3: scales to counter what the Democrats are doing in what 141 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 3: they've been doing for decades across the blue state. 142 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: So talking to Joe Gruders, he is the chairman of 143 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: the Republican National Committee, and you can follow him on 144 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: the Twitter x at Joe Gruders g r U T 145 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: E R S or Joe Gruders zero one. That's his 146 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: chairman twitter x handle. Right there, we talk about the midterms. 147 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: I constantly am reminding people that election day is November third, 148 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. You know, we take a look at 149 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election and it was a big 150 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: win for President Trump, not as much for Republicans, especially 151 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: when you take a look at swing states where President 152 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: Trump won over Kamala Harris, but Sam Brown loses the 153 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: Senate race in Nevada, Carrie Lake loses the Senate race 154 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: in Arizona, you lose the Senate race in Michigan, you 155 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: lose the Senate race in Wisconsin with Hoveden. These are 156 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: places that we should have the sixty vote majority in 157 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: the Senate and we don't. So what are Republicans doing 158 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: to build their name, id to build their opportunities with 159 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: voters in this midterm which traditionally goes to the party 160 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: out of power. 161 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 3: Well, you're exactly right. We're two and thirty nine and 162 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 3: last forty one cycles in terms of the power of 163 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 3: the party with the incumbency, and I mean, there's a 164 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 3: lot of headwinds going against us. But that being said, 165 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: I think that the President's policies are going to guide 166 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 3: us a victory. That and combined with the fact that 167 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 3: we're actively playing a role in candidate recruitment to make 168 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 3: sure we have the right courses for the right courses. 169 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 3: I always say, you can at Susan Collins running Texas 170 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 3: and you can't Ted Cruz running Maine. We're actively involved 171 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 3: with making sure we have the right candidates in place, 172 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 3: and we're going to listen, we're making sure that we're 173 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 3: going to be well funded. You know, the party is 174 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 3: firing on all cylinders because you know, the Vice President 175 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 3: himself is our finance chairman. We're sitting on you know, 176 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 3: ninety million dollars. I think the Democrats have twelve million, 177 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 3: and our sister committee that the inter sc and nur 178 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 3: C SEA is well funded. 179 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: We're not going to stop. 180 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: And in what we're focused on a day and day 181 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 3: out basis is making sure that we're doing everything we 182 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 3: can to protect the vote. And so there's gonna be 183 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 3: no we're going to limit stand agains from happening, and 184 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 3: we're gonna we're going to be aggressive in these races. 185 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 3: And we know exactly what races we're targeting.

We're Democrat member of Congress holds. 188 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 3: On the flip side of that, there's three districts that 189 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris won the Republicans hold. So out of all 190 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 3: the seats, there's probably sixteen super competitive seats. And then 191 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: if you go From there, there's that we have a 192 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 3: couple of seats we have to hold in the Senate, 193 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: which I think we will, but then we have three 194 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 3: great pickup opportunities A look amazing for us, and that's set. 195 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 3: But listen, at the end of the day, we have 196 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 3: to continue to prove the American people that we're the 197 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 3: party that's making things happen.
