Good morning. It is Thursday, August 17th. It's five minutes after 11. This is Kendall and Casey on 93 WIBC. His name is Rob Kendall. He's on Twitter at Rob M Kendall.

My name is Casey Daniels. I'm there as well. Casey Daniels 317 and besides the radio. We're both on YouTube right now. If you type in Kendall and Casey into the YouTube search bar, want to let everybody know later on this

hour, we're going to be speaking with Ryan Binkley. Who is Ryan Binkley? We will find out he's running for president president of the United States. This is so

wild. This dude is legitimately running. It's not like your uncle Fred like the guy is he's this Uber successful business guy from Dallas. He's also a pastor and he is

getting very close to actually getting the signatures necessary, which is one half of the component to get on the debate stage. He was he's

crisscrossing the country, he's spending a ton of time in Iowa. We found out about him because he actually spoke. He was the featured speaker at the Hamilton County monthly breakfast and like, oh my gosh, what an interesting guy you've never heard of and he's going to give us the ins and outs of what it's like to actually run for president

the United States. Now we've got to talk about somebody else who is running not for president, but for governor of the great state of Indiana and his name is Brad Chambers.

So Brad Chambers was the head of the IEDC, the economic development commission corporation, whatever. And that means he is was is Eric Holcomb's right hand guy. And so he was one of the guys who was you may remember the strong

farming of the farmers out of their land out there in Boone County to help make a corporations that are friends with the governor. That's one of his was one of his big responsibility. So what's super interesting about this Casey is Chambers is very close with Holcomb and

Huffer and clearly Suzanne is not close with Holcomb and up for based on the fact that she's been running for a year now and they've refused to endorse her. And so these two establishment super monsters will

pull votes from each other, which means if you are Mike Braun and Curtis Hill, you are doing a big old happy dance today because there was a huge concern that if Curtis and Braun are pulling votes from the same block of people, Suzanne Crouch could

potentially win this primary with 30, 35% of the vote. Now it appears the establishment lane is going to be divvied up just like the conservative lane. And we got ourselves six people Casey running for governor. This thing is going to be a zoo the next year. And I love it because they're all going to be

groveling for votes. Now as far as I know Suzanne Crouch has raised the most money so far in her fundraising. Now this Brad Chambers. He's just starting now. They already have millions of dollars in the kitty. Yeah, but Chambers is going to have and if you believe the rumors that Kyle Huffer is going to be very involved in this guy's campaign. Who knows if that'll actually come to fruition. But it is clear Holcomb is not offering suit silence Suzanne and endorsement endorsement or any help.

Clearly, if Holcomb didn't want this guy to run or Huffer, they would have told him don't run. They want him in the race. And they're going to put their weight behind him. Because the problem you're going to have is especially if it's a Curtis or some extent of Braun, you've got a guy in there who is not beholden to the cabal.

Now, Braun did a terrible job when he was a state rep. And we're going to talk a lot over the next year about how Mike Braun actually voted when he had the powered influence policy and he was a taxer and he was a spender. Don't buy Braun's bull crap about being a conservative.

But Braun does certain stent doesn't play by the same set of rules because he's super rich and independent and he build his own way and bought his own way. I mean, built, sorry, I did I say bought, built his own way into the US Senate Freudian slip there.

And then if you couple that with the prospect of Micah Beck with being the lieutenant governor, well, now the donor and lobbyist class is going to be in cardiac arrest because if you don't control the the people in the office, then you don't control how the cards fall down on the on the table.

OK, so Brad Chambers, he's the former secretary of commerce, just resigned from that position recently, obviously, so he can run for governor. He says, I'm running for governor because I want Hoosiers of today and Hoosiers of tomorrow to believe that Indiana offers an opportunity for an excellent life. So you mentioned six people. So we've got Braun, Mike Braun Curtis Hill, Silas, who's in a crouch Eric Dodon, now Brad Chambers, Donald Rainwater and Jennifer McCormick.

And then there's, well, there's another woman who's running for governor and her name is totally escaping me. She hasn't nearly doesn't have nearly the name ID or the waves, making the waves that the others are and I'm going to get a bunch of hate mail because she has quite a few followers and friends and friends, but they need to do a better job of getting her out there. So there are six Republicans running right now. You have a rainwater who's running on the libertarian side and then you've got Jennifer McCormick, who's running on the Democrat side. This Republican primary

is going to be fascinating. And the crazy thing is was six people running. There's a world where 25% of the vote wins you this primary. So again, if you're a Curtis Hill, you are now right in this ballgame because if you look at Curtis's, if you look at current, like the events Curtis is doing, he's drawing good houses. Now does that translate into hundreds of thousands of votes? Who knows, but at least the events he's doing, he's either got somebody who stages those photos really well or he's got quite a few people.

At these events, no, Curtis has got a lot of baggage. He's got a lot of questions to answer. My tendency, though, is to and I'm not saying this is in no way an endorsement. I'm not telling you to vote for Curtis Hill would be to support the people that will make Eric Holcomb and Kyle Hupp for the most miserable and that clearly would be Curtis Hill and Micah and the lieutenant governor spot. So look, I think it's going to be fun. These people, you've got a whole bunch of people who let's put it this way. They have trouble being real human beings.

And you have a lot of plastic politician people who are running for this office. And it's going to be fun over the next year to watch these people try to human in some shapeformer fashion.
