Let's have a day.

I'm Jason Hammer. Big Nige is out still nursing that infected taint, but Brian Alvey, one part of Those Ash Holes Podcast is in studio. How are you?

Brian Alvey (0:32)

I'm doing great. I taint have a problem.

Jason Hammer (0:36)

And I have a titanium taint also in studio. Look what the cat dragged in.

Brian Alvey (0:41)

Oh, this is great.

Jason Hammer (0:42)

One of the few, one of the proud young conservatives in all of central Indiana, Chris Hammer, my man. How the hell are you doing?

Chris Hammer (0:51)

Great. Aka the better hammer in the room right now.

SPEAKER_9 (0:54)

That's blessed the studio with his presence.

Jason Hammer (0:56)

OK.

SPEAKER_10 (0:57)

Shots fired already.

Brian Alvey (0:59)

Shots fired at dad.

Chris Hammer (1:00)

All right.

Jason Hammer (1:01)

Coming up here in just a few minutes, we're going to announce an event that we've been working on for a while, something we're really excited about.

Brian Alvey (1:11)

So excited.

Jason Hammer (1:12)

And something that's going to involve pretty much the entire WIBC family. And you guys are going to have a blast. Okay. So that's coming up in just a few minutes. Jump over to that YouTube chat.

See if you can guess what it is.

Okay. Go to the WIBC YouTube stream. We got the cameras going. Even if you don't like me, look how suave Brian Alvey looks today with that shaved bald head.

Brian Alvey (1:42)

I'm aerodynamic.

Jason Hammer (1:43)

Look at 22-year-old Chris Hammer. Cougars around Central Indy. Unite. Looking at the boy wonder over here.

Brian Alvey (1:51)

He's so cute.

Jason Hammer (1:52)

But jump in the chat while you're there. See if you can guess what our big event is. We're going to announce coming up in just a moment that involves pretty much everybody at WIBC. Now, before we get to that, let's get down to brass tacks here. 21 days until the midterms. And Brian, do you buy this?

Tim Scott, Republican Senator from South Carolina, he's the chair of the National Republican Senate Committee. He maintains that the Republicans, despite what the polling may show right now, will maintain at least 52 or 53 seats in the midterms.

SPEAKER_11 (2:36)

Three out of four polls today over-sampled Democrats and fewer Republicans. Good news for our candidates. The bottom line is you run one or two ways. Afraid or unopposed? Our candidates are energized, focused and disciplined. We're going to finish well, stay in the majority, and frankly, in states like Minnesota, Michigan and New Hampshire, we are within the margin of error, striking, adding new states to our majority. Well, Roger is going to win that race without question. Kansas is getting ready to see President Trump come to the state in the next 10 days or so. Great news for Roger Marshall. Better news for our majority. I spoke today with Ashley Henson, called Dan Sullivan. I spoke with Susan Collins. All across the map, the one thing I keep hearing from our candidates, the independents are starting to break in our direction. And that's why the Democrats, especially the Democrat Socialists of America, they are scared and shaking in their boots.

Jason Hammer (3:33)

Brian, do you buy it?

Brian Alvey (3:35)

I want to buy it. I just don't think I have to check to cover it. All right, dude, I love his optimism. I know it's his job to be optimistic. He makes a compelling point. But the problem is, is we've got some seats that are, it's not looking good. You've got North Carolina, Maine, Ohio, Kansas, Alaska, Texas, Kansas, Kansas, Iowa.

SPEAKER_10 (3:57)

You can be in Kansas is in play.

Brian Alvey (4:00)

They sweet. Those are, and then, I'm afraid those are going to drop to the Ds. And then we've got a few seats that could drop to the Rs. But the only one that I see that's, it's like legitimately probable is Mike Rogers taking Abdul Al-Syed out up in Michigan. But I have learned a long time ago, I never trust Michigan to do the right thing politically. So if this happens, I hope this happens. I just, man, I just don't see it happening.
