Redistricting Reality Check: What Indiana Just Set in Motion

My friends,

On today’s show, we dove into an issue that many people assume is “just a local Indiana story,” but I’m telling you — this one has national implications written all over it.

Indiana has stepped into the center of a political firestorm by reopening its congressional map mid-decade, and predictably, the left is shouting that Republicans are “cheating,” “rigging elections,” and “attacking democracy.”

Let me tell you something up front: none of that is true. And I refuse to let emotional buzzwords replace actual reasoning.

Redistricting is a constitutional, legal, and expected process. States redraw maps — sometimes more than once — for plenty of reasons.

What’s changed now isn’t the law. It’s the stakes.

We are living in a political moment where the Radical Left has proven they will abuse every lever of power imaginable. Investigations. Lawfare. Bureaucratic pressure. Election rule manipulation. Counting illegal aliens in the census to steal congressional seats. You name it.

Meanwhile, Republicans often apologize for using even the most basic, legal political tools.

Not me. Not anymore.

Indiana has every right — and every responsibility — to protect her representation and to ensure Hoosiers aren’t drowned out by a national movement intent on reshaping America into something it was never meant to be. When Democrats say this map “dilutes voters,” what they really mean is: it doesn’t guarantee them any victories.

They want proportional representation. They want a national popular vote. They want mass mail-in voting. They want the Electoral College eliminated. They want a system where outcomes are predetermined in their favor. And anything that stands in the way of that agenda is labeled “unfair,” “immoral,” or “anti-democracy.”

But here’s the truth:

No one in Indiana is prevented from voting because of this map.

Not one person.

Not one (legal) ballot.

Not one polling place.

Not one voting right is at stake.

All that changed is which district people vote in — a normal part of representative government.

I also addressed the argument that cities like Indianapolis shouldn’t be split.

Nonsense. Cities get split all over America for several reasons. There is nothing sacred or constitutional about keeping a city in one district. If anything, multiple representatives can mean more voices, not fewer.

Look — if Democrats want to win these districts … they can. They just have to persuade voters. They have to make a case. They have to convince Hoosiers that their worldview is better for our state and our country.

And they can’t. So they rely on emotional outrage.

Friends, we are in a political fight for the future of our constitutional republic — and dare I say Western civilization. That’s not hyperbole. If Democrats retake the House, everything stops. Trump’s agenda. Repairing the carnage left by Biden. America First. Law and order.

Republicans cannot continue playing defense while the left weaponizes every institution they touch. Redistricting isn’t cheating. It’s not rigging. It’s not suppression. It’s simply one of the tools available in the toolbox. And if voters don’t like it, they can remedy it at the ballot box.

I’ll say it plainly: it’s time Republicans stop apologizing for using it.

We cannot preserve liberty by running for the hills when things get heated. Somebody has to win this battle — and it had better be those who still believe in the Constitution.

Conservative, not bitter.

My friends, the media, and the Left have spent weeks alleging that Donald Trump has major health problems. They’ve called for full medical transparency, questioned his stamina, and cast doubt on his fitness to serve as Commander-in-Chief. These folks were nowhere to be found when Biden was in office — but that’s another story.

So the White House released a full MRI the President recently had. It found his cardiovascular and abdominal health “perfectly normal,” with “no signs of arterial narrowing, inflammation, or organ problems.” That should put the allegations to bed — but it won’t. They’ll insist it can’t be right because Trump likes McDonald’s.

My friends, you don’t have to like Trump. You can question his health. But some are rooting for disease to win. And these are the same folks lecturing us on the immorality of redistricting.

My friends, I’ve searched high and low for the answer to one simple question:

What is the real reason for the outrage over redistricting in Indiana?

Because I’ve looked. I’ve asked. I’ve listened. And after all the noise, all the talking points, all the pink-highlighted graphics from groups like MADVoters … I still haven’t found a single explanation rooted in anything but politics and emotion.

Let’s just be honest here.

The reasons people oppose redistricting are the exact same reasons others support it.

Democrats want maps that benefit Democrats.

Republicans want maps that benefit Republicans.

This isn’t a shock. This isn’t a scandal. This is politics — the messy, imperfect, constitutional process we’ve always had.

MADVoters claims Republicans want to redraw the maps early “to stay in power after the midterms.”

Well … yes. And Democrats want to keep the old maps “to stay in power after the midterms.”

So which part of that is unique? Which part is shocking? Which part suddenly makes this “cheating”?

How, exactly, is this cheating?

Is the legislature allowed to draw districts? Yes — it’s their constitutional job.

Is there any rule saying they must wait until 2030 to revisit the maps? No — absolutely none.

Is a single legal voter being prevented from casting a ballot? No.

Is anyone being “disenfranchised”? No.

Everyone who could vote yesterday can vote tomorrow. The only difference? Their representative might serve a slightly different slice of the state.

That’s it.

MADVoters huffs and puffs, calling it “rigging,” “disgraceful,” and “unethical.” But the rhetoric is doing all the heavy lifting, because the facts simply don’t back it up.

“It cuts up cities! It slices Muncie! It splits West Lafayette! It quarters Indianapolis!”

Okay … and?

Where is it written — in statute, in the state constitution, in any sacred political text — that cities must remain whole? Who declared that Indianapolis gets some guaranteed, untouched political bubble?

Indianapolis already suffers from disastrous leadership. Crime, mismanagement, fiscal chaos — you name it. Why exactly should the rest of the state be required to reward that behavior with a protected district guaranteed to elect more of the same?

Redistricting is, and always has been, a political process. If you don’t like the map, you vote out the people who drew it. If you want the map, you vote out the ones who fought it.

That’s how representative government works.

But to call this “rigging” or “cheating”? My friends, that requires an argument no one has made — because no one can make it.

No ballots are being tossed. No voters are being silenced. No rights are being denied.

Just lines on a map drawn by the very people the Constitution explicitly assigns to do the job.

So yes — I’m still waiting. Still listening. Still open to someone making the case for why this is unethical.

If you’ve got a real explanation — not a political talking point — I welcome you to tell me.

Until then, let’s stop falling for the theatrics and start focusing on what really matters: electing leaders who actually represent Hoosier values.
