Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, we have some big breaking news. This is according
to Nicky Kelly, friend of the program head honcho over
there at the Indiana Capitol Chronicle.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
She says, quote JD.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Vance will pay another visit to Indiana on Friday to
push Senate Republicans towards redistricting Indiana's congressional map. I have
three sources confirming, though still waiting for official words.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Okay, Vice President coming back.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
So you got to give the Trump administration credit.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
They're fighters, not on fighting to make food more affordable
or you know, get federal spending under control or anything
that might benefit you. But when it comes to rigging
the maps in their favor, give them credit. Case they
will not be deterred. They are not giving up.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
What do you think he's gonna do. He's gonna come
in and be mad, Hey, you haven't.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Done what we asked you to do.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Have you ever seen it? Is a cult classic, but weird.
Al Yankovic had a movie called UHF. I think it
came out in nineteen eighty nine. It's a fabulous movie.
If you've never seen it, go see it because it
is actually sort of the mannerisms and character traits of
Michael Richards, who played Kramer, is one of the main
(01:19):
characters in the movie. He was he was aknown actor,
but certainly not nearly as famous as he became. He
plays a character called Stanley Spadowski, and a bunch you
can see that a bunch of what became the Kramer
mannerisms and character traits sort of are being tried out
in the Stanley Spadowski character. And weird al what he
(01:39):
inherits right, a low power television station and he begins
to program with all this wacky, weird stuff on this
low power television station. And there's a guy who his
tagline is you So Stupid and actually became a famous
character actor in the nineties.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And I feel like that's what jd. Vance is going
to do.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
He's going to bring that guy with him and he's
just going to shout, Oh, you so stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
What are you going to say? At this point?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, clearly these lawmakers are not hearing from their constituents
that they want it. It appears that if they're hearing anything,
the prevailing wisdom is don't do it. These Republicans are
not worth further rigging our system for and now more
than ever with the Secretary of State getting a legitimate challenger.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
In terms of bo Bye.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
These lawmakers be going, we're not given more Ammo fuel
to his fire to get people to come out and
vote and wouldnot otherwise vote right.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
They've been saying that there's no appetite for it here
in Indiana. Jd Vance is what going to serve some
more dervs so that we do get an appetite for it.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Mike my, if I am a person of any sort
of decency and fairness, I would look right ahead him
and go why without saying because Massachusetts or because California
or whatever, say why why would I do this?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Our maps were so good.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
We were one of the few states in the Union
who didn't get sued. The maps were so good and
so quote unquote fair that the Democrats just folded their
tent ands and we'll just accept these and go along
with it. Mister Vice President, were a will aim at
hi and say sixty to forty state seventy eight percent
of our congressional maps are Republican, seventy percent of our
(03:27):
House seats are Republican, eighty percent of our Senate seats
in the state House are Republican. The maps are already
drawn in favor of the Republicans compared to the actual
vote totals in this state. Why would we mess with
them and otherwan without telling me politically, why you want
it done? Because I'm not here to play politics. I'm
(03:49):
here to serve the people. What answer could he possibly have?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Well, Jim Banks is on board.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
He was on a talk show last night talking about
the census and how it was off.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Now, this is what's interesting. Our old pal Steve. Now
we've talked about Steve before in this program. He's not
in the media anymore, so you can search, you can
find Steve if you want. But he was a former
newspaper writer. And we've talked about Steve quite a bit
because Steve and I converse on a variety of things.
He is very knowledgeable about politics and government. We don't
(04:21):
agree on some things politically, but he's very well versed.
He actually did some computing on this, and I'll I
don't think I did I retweet it. Maybe I'll do
that during the break. I'll go find it during the
break at Robin Kendall on Twitter if you want to
see it. He did some number crunching and source sighting.
It totally refutes because Bank's new thing is the census
was rigged. Well, hey, Einstein, who did the census? It
(04:45):
was Trump and the Trump administration and other states included
by the Banks formula. He's trying to say all that
it was rigged and all this stuff will happened, this
would happen to bah blah blah. Texas would have lost
a seat under this formula.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Yeah, he said, California, you would have lost an additional seat,
so would Texas and Florida, while Alabama, Minnesota, and Ohio
would have picked up one extra Okay. So this is
according to Pew research, not just Steve.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
So so let's do the math and let's say California loses, okay, check,
Texas loses check.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So that battle, let's say that balances each other out.
Those are Republican and Democrat states. Florida loses, could go
either way, probably republican seat. There's three of the three
he named It was Alabama, Texas.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Minnesota, Alabama, Minnesota, Ohio.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Sorry Alabama, Okay, So Alabama republican state, Texas or of Texas,
Ohio republican state, Minnesota Democrat state. You're correct, casey two
Republican states would have lost a seat.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You know, three Republican. No, you're right, two Republicans. There
would be three losses in three gains.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
That's correct. It's a wash.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
But Jim Banks as usual, not knowing his head from
his ass and just doing whatever Trump tells him to do.
And again, if you know Jim Banks, you desperately need
to check on his well being because I don't know
how long a man can go without oxygen. And Jim
Banks has had his nostrils so far inserted between Trump's
butt cheeks for so long. I'm worried he's not getting
enough oxygen to his brain.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Perhaps that's why JD Vance is coming to Indiana, because
if it's a wash, they're going to rely on Indiana
to pick up.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
It's all ridiculous. The whole thing is stupid.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Our maps are fair, our maps are right, our maps
are accurate, and we shouldn't give in on that and
rig our election system so that you can have one
more loser in Congress who will vote for Biden levels spending.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
This is why people don't want it.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Mister Banks, Senator Banks, whatever we're calling him these days.
That's why people aren't passionate about it because you, the Republicans,
you the Republicans in Congress, you, the Republicans who have
the presidency, aren't giving people anything to believe in, aren't
getting people, giving people in to be fired up about.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And so they say, no, thank you, we don't want
any part of this
Okay, we have some big breaking news. This is according
