There are thousands of hurting children in Indiana. They are in the child welfare system due to abuse or neglected home. They struggle in school due to life trauma or challenges and they face mental health issues. At child advocates, we serve foster children. We help children succeed in school and we host workshops to create collaborative workplaces and caring communities and to nurture a sense of belonging for all children and youth.

We seek justice, access to opportunity, and well-being for children. Learn more at child advocates.net.

Those are some great words to live by. I think I'm going to just take that and put that on a wall somewhere.

What words are you talking about?

That's somebody in the YouTube chat.

It's the first thing I saw it.

I pulled up the YouTube feed today.

I would love to retire so I could spend every day with my horse.

Yes.

I think that's going to be my goal going forward.

Goals.

My non-existent horse.

I love it.

I'll go buy a horse. Can you get a horse? Can you just, could you like have a horse on retainer? I really don't want to like deal with. You want an O.P. horse. A what? Opea horse. I want a what? Other people's horse. Oh, other people's horse. Yeah, I just want like a horse that I'm going to feed or clothes or whatever.

I just want's horse. Oh, other people's horse. Yeah, I just want like a horse that I'm going to feed or clothes or whatever. I just want a horse that I can go see. It's kind of where I am right now with like a puppy. Like I just want the love and the cuddles. But the responsibility part may be a little too much. All right. We got a ton going on today. Abdul's going to be with us later. He's got a big old update on AI Porngate. Craig Haggard is going to be here with us. He had a big announcement last night. And we got a lot to get to. But first, the folks, the rank and file case, they are jumping off the ship when it comes to redistricting. Yeah, that's true. Yesterday, Representative Jim Lucas said that he was a hard no on redistricting. So we got to like Lucas for today. We got to agree with Jim Lucas. Boy, that really puts me in a bad spot, doesn't it? Well, okay, so Lucas came out. He's a no. Hagger, who we'll talk to later.

He said he's a no. Danny Lopez. Now, these are all on the House side. Said there's no.

I believe there's at least one senator that said there's a no. You're starting to see,

and we'll get to this with Jim Merritt a little bit later on in the hour because he's been through

several of these redistrictings. This is a colossal lift for the Flanders boys, Bray and Houston.

If you think back to when J.D. Vance came to Indiana last week and the media got that quick

film of those guys walking out of that meeting.

There were no smiles.
