The Braun administration releases their DEI elimination report to note steps agencies have taken to comply with an executive order. Host Brandon Smith is joined by Democrat Lara Beck, Republican Mike O’Brien, Ebony Chappel of Free Press Indiana, and Niki Kelly of the Indiana Capital Chronicle to debate and discuss this week’s top stories.
