1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.706
>> HELLO AND WELCOME TO INSIDE
INDIANA BUSINESS. I'M GERRY
DICK.
AS INDIANA AND THE WORLD

2
00:00:06.706 --> 00:00:11.177
CONTINUE THE FIGHT AGAINST
COVID-19, THE NUMBERS AND THE
IMPACT ARE ESCALATING.
SO TOO, IS THE STATE'S RESPONSE.

3
00:00:11.177 --> 00:00:17.250
AND WE START OUR SHOW THIS WEEK
WITH GOVERNOR ERIC HOLCOMB, WHO
JOINS US FROM HIS OFFICE, VIA
SKYPE.

4
00:00:17.250 --> 00:00:27.961
GOVERNOR, THANK YOU FOR TAKING
THE TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY
SCHEDULE.
>> THANK YOU, GERRY. GOOD TO

5
00:00:27.961 --> 00:00:34.701
JOIN YOU TODAY FROM AN
APPROPRIATE DISTANCE.
>> IN TERMS OF THE LATEST, AND
CERTAINLY WE SAW THIS WEEK,

6
00:00:34.701 --> 00:00:42.409
PRESIDENT TRUMP TALK ABOUT THE
NEXT TWO WEEKS GOING TO BE VERY,
VERY DIRE. HE DIDN'T SUGAR COAT
IT AT ALL. DO YOU ANTICIPATE

7
00:00:42.409 --> 00:00:51.918
WE'RE FACING THE SAME REALITY
HERE IN THE STATE OF INDIANA?
>> WELL, WE ARE. AND THAT'S WHAT
WE'VE BRACED FOR, WHAT WE

8
00:00:51.918 --> 00:00:59.793
PREPARED FOR, LONG BEFORE THIS
EPISODE STARTED TO REALLY UNFOLD
AND SPREAD. THAT'S WHY WE
REGIONALIZED OUR HEALTHCARE

9
00:00:59.793 --> 00:01:07.100
DELIVERY PRACTICES, AND OUR
SYSTEM IS BUILT THAT WAY IN THE
FIRST PLACE. I'M PROUD OF
HOOSIERS FOR THE WAY THAT

10
00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:13.973
THEY'VE RESPONDED BY AND LARGE
HOOSIERS ARE HUNKERED DOWN.
THAT'S GOING TO FLATTEN THAT
CURVE, OR SLOW THAT SPREAD SO WE

11
00:01:13.973 --> 00:01:21.181
DON'T OVERWHELM OUR HEALTHCARE
SYSTEM AND WE CAN MAINTAIN THAT
CAPACITY TO DELIVER, AND THAT
JUST MAKES IT ALL THAT MORE

12
00:01:21.181 --> 00:01:28.254
FEASIBLE THAT WE GET THROUGH
THIS FASTER THAN MAYBE SOME WHO
HAVE BEEN IN DENIAL. SO THE
SURGE IS COMING, WE'RE PREPARED

13
00:01:28.254 --> 00:01:38.131
FOR IT. IT'S HAPPENING EVERY
DAY, YOU HEAR THE DRUM BEAT, YOU
SEE THE NUMBERS INCREASE,
WHETHER ITS INFECTIOUS RATES OR

14
00:01:38.131 --> 00:01:47.907
FATALITY RATES, IT'S IN 84
COUNTIES AS OF TODAY OF OUR 92.
IT'S NOT SLOWING DOWN, IT'S
INCREASING AND MOUNTING,

15
00:01:47.907 --> 00:01:58.051
FORTUNATELY, WE HAVE PUT
MEASURES AND PRACTICES, CHANGED
OUR BEHAVIOR, AND HOOSIERS ARE
PLAYING THE RULES OF THE DAY.

16
00:01:58.051 --> 00:02:05.758
>> HEALTHCARE DELIVERY IS ONE
ELEMENT CERTAINLY CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT, SO, TOO, DEALING WITH
THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF

17
00:02:05.758 --> 00:02:10.697
HOOSIERS UNEMPLOYED,
UNPRECEDENTED NUMBERS. AS YOU
LOOK AT THE UNEMPLOYMENT SYSTEM
FROM AN INFRASTRUCTURE

18
00:02:10.697 --> 00:02:18.605
STANDPOINT TO HANDLE IT, YOU
FEEL GOOD ABOUT HOW THAT'S SET
UP.
>> YEAH. WE'VE THROWN MORE

19
00:02:18.605 --> 00:02:27.647
RESOURCES OBVIOUSLY AS OTHER
STATES ARE HAVING TO DO. YOU CAN
GO TO A LOT OF STATES AROUND THE
COUNTRY. I TALK TO GOVERNORS

20
00:02:27.647 --> 00:02:35.088
EVERY SINGLE DAY ON BOTH SIDES
OF THE AISLE, WE HAVE NEVER BEEN
IN A SITUATION WHERE OUR FORK
FORCE DEVELOPMENT, COMPUTER

21
00:02:35.088 --> 00:02:43.029
SYSTEMS AND CALL CENTERS WERE
BUILT FOR A TIME LIKE THIS WHERE
THE NUMBERS AS YOU MENTIONED ARE
STUNNINGLY HIGH. WE'RE MAKING

22
00:02:43.029 --> 00:02:51.471
SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE
EVERY CALL, AND PROCESS ALL
THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE GOING TO OUR
WEBSITE, WHO ARE APPLYING, THE

23
00:02:51.471 --> 00:02:59.913
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS OF THEM. WE'RE MAKING
SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING THE WORD
OUT ALSO TO EMPLOYERS. THIS IS

24
00:02:59.913 --> 00:03:06.719
ABOUT EMPLOYEES, AND EMPLOYERS.
AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
FOLKS UNDERSTAND THAT THIS
IS -- THERE'S A LOT OF

25
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:13.893
COOPERATION GOING ON RIGHT NOW
THAT I'M PRETTY PROUD OF BETWEEN
THE LOCAL COMMUNITY THE, THOSE
LOCAL BUSINESSES, THE STATE OF

26
00:03:13.893 --> 00:03:22.302
INDIANA, EVERYTHING WE HAVE TO
OFFER, AND THE FEDERAL PANELS,
WE'RE ON PHASE THREE ALREADY,
AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT

27
00:03:22.302 --> 00:03:29.976
BUSINESSES THAT HAVE
RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR LOCAL
BANKS UNDERSTAND THERE ARE LOANS
AVAILABLE TO KEEP YOUR

28
00:03:29.976 --> 00:03:38.217
EMPLOYEES, KEEP YOUR LEASE, THE
PAYROLL AND KEEP THE LIGHTS ON
BE, KEEP THOSE EMPLOYEES
EMPLOYED THROUGHOUT THIS TO GET

29
00:03:38.217 --> 00:03:47.493
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS BRIDGE
TO OUR RECOVERY. BUT FOLKS KNOW
THAT THE STATE'S HERE AS WELL,
FORTUNATELY GOING INTO THIS

30
00:03:47.493 --> 00:03:54.200
STORM, OUR STATE WAS IN A VERY
STRONG POSITION. AND SO WE'VE
BEEN ABLE TO DO THINGS THAT
MAYBE OTHER STATES MIGHT NOT BE

31
00:03:54.200 --> 00:04:03.042
ABLE TO DO LIKE POSTPONE PAYING
YOUR INCOME TAX, POSTPONE PAYING
YOUR PROPERTY TAXES, ENSURE
THERE ARE NO EVICTIONS. I WANT

32
00:04:03.042 --> 00:04:13.886
TO STRESS THAT FOLKS KNOW THAT
WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO
RESPOND TO HOOSIER NEEDS IN AN
EQUALLY STRONG FASHION.

33
00:04:13.886 --> 00:04:20.493
>> Gerry: GOVERNOR, THIS SHOCK
TO THE SYSTEM CAME AT A TIME
WHEN INDIANA WAS CONTINUING TO
PUT UP RECORD ECONOMIC

34
00:04:20.493 --> 00:04:28.301
DEVELOPMENT NUMBERS IN TERMS OF
EXPANSIONS FROM U.S.-BASED
COMPANIES, INTERNATIONALLY AS
WELL. YOUR OFFICE, THE OFFICE OF

35
00:04:28.301 --> 00:04:36.075
THE INDIANA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION SECRETARY OF
COMMERCE JIM SCHELLINGER. YOU
HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH A LOT

36
00:04:36.075 --> 00:04:42.482
OF THOSE COMPANIES, WHAT IS
THEIR MESSAGE BACK TO YOU?
>> THE MESSAGE BACK TO US, WE'RE
GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS. THIS

37
00:04:42.482 --> 00:04:55.795
IS A PANDEMIC, BY DEFINITION
THIS IS A GLOBAL CRISIS. AND
IT'S A VIRUS CRISIS, TO BE QUITE
FRANKLY, THAT IS IMPACTING OUR

38
00:04:55.795 --> 00:05:02.535
ECONOMIES AROUND THE WORLD,
SUPPLY CHAINS AROUND THE WORLD.
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR PLACES ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS FOR

39
00:05:02.535 --> 00:05:08.775
STABILITY AND CERTAINTY AND
CONTINUITY, THAT'S WHAT OUR
CALLING CARDS WERE GOING INTO
THIS STORM, AND THAT'S WHAT OURS

40
00:05:08.775 --> 00:05:18.184
WILL BE COMING OUT OF IT. IF
THERE'S A SILVER LINING TO THIS
ALL, HOW WE CONDUCT OURSELVES,
HOW WE'RE COOPERATING TO GET

41
00:05:18.184 --> 00:05:25.792
THROUGH THIS STORM IN AS CALM A
FASHION AS WE CAN, THAT WILL
STAND OUT, THEY RESPECT THE
FACT, AND THEY'RE WORKING WITH

42
00:05:25.792 --> 00:05:30.496
US, WHETHER THEY'RE
INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES THAT ARE
HERE ALREADY, OR LOOKING TO COME
HERE, THEY RESPECT THE FACT THAT

43
00:05:30.496 --> 00:05:38.504
WE'RE PUTTING OUR PEOPLE FIRST.
WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT OUR
PEOPLE, THEIR TEAMMATES, THEIR
EMPLOYEES, WE'RE DEALING WITH

44
00:05:38.504 --> 00:05:46.012
THE HEALTH AND SAFETY ASPECTS OF
THIS, AND RIGHT AT THE SAME
TIME, ON THE OTHER HAND, WE'RE
VERY, WE'VE GOT AN EYE ON THE

45
00:05:46.012 --> 00:05:51.851
ECONOMICS OF IT ALL, MAKING SURE
THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT
THERE'S GOING TO BE A GOOD PLACE
FOR THEM TO ONCE AGAIN GROW

46
00:05:51.851 --> 00:06:00.927
THEIR BUSINESS. BUT IT'S GOING
TO BE DONE IN A VERY METHODICAL
RESPONSIBLE WAY, AS WE'VE
ESCALATED DIFFERENT STEPS, WE'LL

47
00:06:00.927 --> 00:06:05.998
DEESCALATE TO GET BACK TO THAT
WAY OF BUSINESS THAT WE WERE
DOING BEFORE WE CAME INTO THIS
STORM.

48
00:06:05.998 --> 00:06:14.674
>> Gerry: GOVERNOR, FINAL
QUESTION FOR YOU. THIS WEEK YOU,
INDIANAPOLIS MAYOR JOE HOGSETT
AND OTHERS CAME TOGETHER TO

49
00:06:14.674 --> 00:06:25.818
ANNOUNCE AN INITIATIVE, IN THIS
TOGETHER, GIVE ME THE BOTTOM
LINE ON WHAT THIS INITIATIVE IS
ALL ABOUT?

50
00:06:25.818 --> 00:06:33.493
>> THAT'S WHAT IT IS. IT IS WHO
WE ARE AS A PEOPLE, NOT ONLY ARE
WE IN THIS TOGETHER. BUT WE'RE
GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS

51
00:06:33.493 --> 00:06:41.234
TOGETHER. AND BECAUSE WE'RE
TOGETHER. WE RELY ON ONE
ANOTHER. THIS COVID-19 DOES NOT
DISTINGUISH OR DISCRIMINATE

52
00:06:41.234 --> 00:06:52.111
AGAINST EVERYONE. IT TREATS
EVERYONE EQUALLY. AND IT
REQUIRES EVERYONE TO RESPOND IN
A SIMILAR FASHION. THAT MEANS

53
00:06:52.111 --> 00:07:03.489
PRACTICE THESE PROVEN TACTICS TO
KILL THE VIRUS, WHICH IS USING
SOAP AND WATER RELIGIOUSLY,
MAKING SURE YOU'RE CREATING A

54
00:07:03.489 --> 00:07:09.495
RESPONSIBLE SOCIAL DISTANCE
BETWEEN ONE ANOTHER, THAT MEANS
SELF-ISOLATING IF YOU GET SICK
AND SHOW THE SYMPTOMS. THAT'S

55
00:07:09.495 --> 00:07:19.238
WHAT'S GOING TO DRAW THESE
NUMBERS DOWN, THAT'S WHEN THE
WAVE WILL RECEDE. WE GOT TO DO
IT TOGETHER. WE CAN STILL STAY

56
00:07:19.238 --> 00:07:26.212
CONNECTED, KEEP IN TOUCH, AND WE
MUST KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ONE
ANOTHER. IT IS JUST GOING TO BE
A LITTLE DIFFERENT OVER THE NEXT

57
00:07:26.212 --> 00:07:31.751
FEW WEEKS AHEAD.
