8/24/26 - Braun caves to Zay, Trump to spend big on midterms, Canada fights back

Today’s episode of The Rob Kendall Show opens with Rob blasting the $625,000 settlement between Mike Braun’s administration and former IURC member Andy Zay. Rob says taxpayers are now paying Zay to do nothing through 2030 while also paying his replacement, arguing Braun settled because he did not want discovery, sworn testimony, or courtroom cameras exposing what happened behind the scenes. The show also covers Abdul-Hakim Shabazz’s latest informal survey at IndyPolitics, which Rob says offers a useful look at how politically engaged Hoosiers are viewing the Secretary of State race and statewide officials. Rob highlights Greg Ballard leading Max Engling and Beau Bayh in the survey, weak approval numbers for Braun and Micah Beckwith, and strong opposition among respondents to using state incentives to bring the Chicago Bears to northwest Indiana.
