Lloyd (0:00)

We've got some Indiana booze news.

SPEAKER_2 (0:04)

You set them up and I'll knock them back, Lloyd.

Lloyd (0:24)

So, Nigel, you were gone when we had the audio of Indiana candidate, Jaime West.

She is running for like a little council seat in small town Indiana. She may or may not have had a few cocktails before going on television.

Nigel (0:46)

Well, she, I mean, she went viral, it went all across the country, right? It was in Arizona that I saw.

Lloyd (0:53)

This was being shared by every major news platform, and it happened right here in the Hoosier state. Here, let's take a little trip down memory lane. OK, this is when Indiana candidate Jaime West went on television to talk about why voters should pick her.

Jaime West (1:12)

What is the one decision that I would make that might not be popular?

SPEAKER_5 (1:15)

Right, that may be unpopular with some voters, but is in the best interest of the county?

Jaime West (1:20)

Hmm, firing all Republicans.

I wouldn't let them, I mean, I don't even talk to them. I don't like them. I mean, they voted against our own state representative, voted against her own party. I mean, what do you want me to say? I don't like being around them. I mean, y'all did this to us. You all voted for us. You made this happen, this ICE coming into our communities, stealing people's jobs.

Nigel (1:55)

ICE is stealing jobs now.

Jaime West (1:58)

Ugh, those shares, I'm actually trying to blow my head off. But, you know, what are you going to do?

SPEAKER_5 (2:06)

Well, that brings us to your opportunity to say just a few last words to the voters.

Jaime West (2:16)

We have guns, too.

Lloyd (2:18)

Isn't she a delight?

Nigel (2:20)

We have guns, too. Is it some sort of threat?

But yeah, I mean, obviously, something is going on. I mean, inebriation.

Lloyd (2:31)

Maybe pills. We didn't know.

Nigel (2:32)

Or maybe she's just a dumbass. Did anybody ever think of that?

Lloyd (2:37)

Well, that's a distinct possibility because we now have another interview that she's done. Piers Morgan got the exclusive with this woman.

Nigel (2:46)

Oh, for God's sake, she's gone that big time?

Lloyd (2:49)

Piers Morgan sat down with Indiana candidate Jaime West and asked the million dollar questions.

SPEAKER_2 (2:58)

A lot of people assumed you might have had a drink before you did that interview, did you?

Jaime West (3:04)

I had, of course, light. I had a beer.

SPEAKER_2 (3:07)

One beer?

Jaime West (3:08)

I mean, maybe a couple.

SPEAKER_2 (3:11)

How many beers did you have?

Jaime West (3:12)

I was nervous, okay? I get it. I was going to win with the full Republicans.

SPEAKER_2 (3:18)

We've all had a drink when we're nervous, but just to be clear, Jaime, here's your chance to be completely honest and transparent. How many beers did you have?

Jaime West (3:27)

All right, three.

SPEAKER_2 (3:29)

Three beers? Okay.

Jaime West (3:31)

Three beers.

SPEAKER_2 (3:31)

It's trebled in the last 30 seconds. Wait a minute.

Jaime West (3:37)

Three beers, okay?

SPEAKER_2 (3:38)

Okay. So do you accept you may have been a little intoxicated?

Jaime West (3:41)

Not that intoxicated, but I do know what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_2 (3:46)

Okay.

Jaime West (3:47)

I'm into Indiana politics.

SPEAKER_2 (3:48)

Have you had any beers before this interview?

Jaime West (3:51)

No.

SPEAKER_2 (3:52)

You're completely sober?

Jaime West (3:54)

Yep.

SPEAKER_2 (3:55)

Okay.

Lloyd (3:56)

Yep.

Nigel (3:59)

I don't believe that she didn't have any beers before that interview.

Lloyd (4:02)

I don't either.

I think she may have had a few beverages before each. But to your point, Nigel, I want to give you full credit. She may be a dumbass.

Nigel (4:13)

Yeah, she didn't have a brain cell in her head. She's an idiot. And I.

Unfortunately, that could get her elected.

Lloyd (4:24)

So here's what I want to do on this program. I want to put an olive branch out there. OK, Jamie, I don't want you to be scared of Republicans. We're inviting you to come on for Beer Sample Friday. Jamie West, we want you in studio with us. We'll have a cooler full of Coors lights and we will do Beer Sample Friday.

I'll have a gun. You'll have a gun. Everybody's going to be safe.

Nigel (4:48)

We're going to bring guns in the studio.

Lloyd (4:51)

Some of us already do. Come on, Jamie West, do you accept?

Nigel (4:57)

That would be amazing.

Lloyd (4:58)

Right? Jesse Brown came on yesterday.

Nigel (5:01)

Yeah.
