Making the American Farm Strong Again.
Team forty seven with Clay and Buck starts now, Okay, so I know a lot of you are going to say, wait a minute, Clay, we just had an election. We just had November fifth. We just celebrated we won the presidency. Who won the House? We won the Senate. But the House majority is tenuous, comes down to a few seats. Tuesday. Two of the seats are being filled by guys who step down. Matt Gates in Florida one is going to be replaced by Jimmy Patronis. I know Jimmy. He's done really good work in the state of Florida. All of you out there in the Panhandle Florida one, you need to get out and vote. But I want to talk about Florida six.
Here.
This is this eat that was relinquished by Mike Waltz when he decided to join the Trump cabinet, the Trump administration. It is a very comfortable Trump district. But I want to hit you with these numbers. Buck, you were also just reading this. The Democrats, in an effort to try to steal this seat, have spent nine point seven million dollars in Florida six compared to the five hundred and sixty thousand dollars spent by Randy Fine, who is the Republican candidate. This is a very pro Trump district. You guys, I understand you just voted. You need to get back out and vote because they're concerned enough about how tenuous this House majority is that they just pull the least Stephanics un ambassador role over being concerned about her New York congressional seat. And then you've got two different seats that are available for the remainder of the term that are up on April first, that's Tuesday. I think a lot of you listening to us in Florida right now may not even be aware this is going on because so many of you right after the election, you're taking a breather, you're kicking back, you're enjoying the results of the Trump victory. But you need to turn out again because if Democrats can whittle down and take back the House, they're not passing anything that Trump wants to get done. And this is going to be the risk next year in the midterm when all four hundred and thirty five House seats are up for grabs and we'll have to see how that goes next year. But in the meantime, we got to preserve what we've already won. And so if you're listening to us in Florida right now, or you've got friends and family, these are very Trump districts. Trump won Florida one by thirty seven. He won Florida six by thirty But a lot of the people that voted for Trump may not be coming out, they may not even be aware of these special elections. So this is I think just hey, pay attention, keep your head on a swivel here.
Yeah, I mean, it would be it would be a disastrous state of affairs for the Trump agenda if we were to lose control of the House. Even with the very narrow control that we have, it still is effectively there. So that's something that we need to keep an eye on. And it's interesting to see how Democrats are able to funnel I'm sure, Clay if you looked at it's public information, right, I'm just guessing. But the of the almost ten million dollars the Democrat has raised in this district, remember a district that Trump won by thirty points Okay, ten million dollars for a congressional seat that you are minus thirty in the last election, which was just a few months ago, just goes to show you Democrats they will funnel cash in. I bet a huge percentage of it is money out of the out of the district from you know, it's money that's coming in from New York and Los Angeles, and you know people are giving money to whatever they have to to try to sneak this congressional seat into the Democrat column. So you know, we sit here, we talk about the Democrats have no messaging, which is true. They do have a lot of money though they totally outspent Trump the last time around. They totally outspend Trump the first time around, and they will do things like this, which is something we have to be prepared for. So if you're listening, you know we're on in this area, in the sixth District of Florida. We have a huge Florida audience. Thank you very much, Floridians. Our Florida audience has grown by I think overall like twenty five or thirty percent in the last couple of years. So we have a lot of Floridians that are listening, and I know some of you in Daytona Beach area. Right, that's I think roughly roughly what this. So if you're listening to us in Daytona Beach area, you cannot let the Democrats take this one. Get out there. This is where also yard signs, I mean the basic stuff, right. This is going to be a small number overall of people who are determining this congressional seat. So if you're listening to us and you're in this district, whatever you can do makes a difference. This is not you know, oh, but do I really does the president need my vote? H Randy Fine needs your vote? Get out there? Yeah?
And it is I think true if you look at the data that the die hard left wing, crazy town base of the Democrats does better at showing up on special elections than the average Republican voter does. They're super committed for these things that a lot of people don't pay attention to. That they do better at primary turnout, they do better in special elections. We do better as a party in mid terms when they're actually big midterms. In election now with presidential races, the turnout is very good. But don't get caught napping, and to your point, I mean, think about that nearly. I'm always bad at math live. But we're talking about twenty to one being outspent in that Florida sixth congressional district, so they think they can steal it. And by the way, also if you're up on the Panhandle, get out and vote as well. Again, I don't think we're pressing the alarm too soon, but if if they were super confident about their majority, at least Stephonic wouldn't be stepping down from the UN ambassador position.
But I will make this, I'll make this prediction right now so we can log this as a prediction. At least Dephonic in uh, the after this next cycle is gonna end up getting something even more exciting in the Trump administration than a US Ambassador to the UN role, which is which is high up there obviously, but I think she could be in line for something even a little more exciting because for her to obviously voluntarily say okay, okay, I'm not gonna take the that US Ambassador to the UN role. I'm gonna stay in Congress offense to Congress. But there's a lot of them, Uh, they're they're gonna. They're making some kind of a sweetheart deal for her to do what's right for the team, and I think she's willing to do that.
And again I don't want to speculate on who. I also think buck this tells us that there may be some health issues in the larger Republican caucus because it only takes again, we've seen this happen. Look at what happened with Diane Feinstein at the end of her tenure as the Senator from California. What's happened with Mitch.
McConnell and his health, the falls that he's had.
When you start getting people in their seventies and eighties, this is one of the dangers of having a gar intocracy when it comes to leadership. People age differently, as many of you know, but you can go from very healthy in your seventies to really in dire straits very quickly. And there are a lot of people in their seventies and eighties who are a part of our leadership. And so when you've got to margin this fine, this tiny, I think that everybody needs to make sure it makes certain that they make national good decisions and get out and vote in these races.
So this also is a powerful reminder that while we sit here and it has been there's been a little bit of political euphoria in the first sixty days of Trump's term because of the team he's assembled and the accomplishments they're racking up and the focus the messaging it's been this is fantastic stuff. Okay, they've they've been doing everything that we want them to do and then some. But remember from the beginning we said they really have twelve to eighteen months to save the country or or to make meaningful, lasting change for the United States in very positive ways. This this midterm election is going to be It's going to be a dogfight.
It just is.
That's the reality of being the party in power. And it's not like we're going into it with fifteen or twenty seats of majority. So on the Senate side, I think it looks a lot better. But if Democrats were to take the House, oh my gosh, they you know, the hearings'll find something. They'll be having hearings on signal gate, you know, and it's the whole thing. They're just going to go into. Anything to slow down and mess up Trump is justified and necessary. So it's It reminds us all that there is a finite window here to get very important stuff done to fix the country. Hopefully it doesn't become an issue because we keep the majority and Trump can keep doing great stuff. But you can't. You can't plan on that. You gotta plan on getting it done.
Now you're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck. Senator Ran Paul of Kentucky joins us. Now, Senator, we got a lot to dive into with you. Appreciate you joining us. Let me just start here right off the top. How is the budget and border bill process going? How does the timeline look to you? How would you assess it at this point?
I'm worried. I'm very worried that they're wanting to add five trillion dollars to the debt ceiling. All the good news we've heard about Elon Musk, about cutting contracts and cutting bornade, all that has been so energizing to our base, to conservatives like me, we jump for joy, we cheer, and then they say, well, but the bill's going to increase the debt ceiling by five trillion. We say, well, how is that possible? We thought we were cutting spending. Why would we increase it more than two trillion dollars a year for the next two and a half years. And there's not a good explanation. And so I've told them I won't vote for any bill that adds five trillion to the deficit. That's not physically conservative.
Now, I'll vote for the tax cuts.
I voted for him in twenty seventeen. I'll vote to make the tax cuts permanent. I'll vote for spending cuts, but I didn't vote for the spending. And I'm damn sure not voting for adding five trillion dollars to the national debt. I just think that's outrageous. And people are going to wake up. People who listen to your show, We're going to wake up in a couple of months from noways. I thought we.
Voted for something conservative. I thought Doze was cutting all his spending, and yet they're still going to add two trillions to the death this year.
Something's not right.
You know, Senator Paul appreciates you being with us. We've played for the audience some sound bites from years past when people like Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and other very high profile Democrats talked about stopping fraud, waste and abuse in government spending, reining in unnecessary spending. So we know that they've said stuff like that, But to where we are right now, it seems like everything that Doze tries to do in terms of recommendations to the president, and then everything that Trump tries to do to rein in that spending Democrats opposed. Are there any Democrats in the Senate who do want to cut spending? In all honesty, is there anyone who actually wants to see that number go down for anything other than the military?
Zero, not a No Democrat in the entire body of Congress will vote to cut even a dollar. So I had an amendment last week that would have cut about oh, sixteen billion out of four and AID four and AD is about forty billion. I would have cut sixteen billions, so a little less than half. And this was to represent what Doze was doing, what Elon Musk had proposed, what really Secretary Rubio has already said he's canceling these contracts. I would just put it into law. Zero Democrats voted for that, but even worse, about half the Republicans voted against me as well.
I got a little over half of the Republicans with me, about half the Republicans against me. And the reason I put it forward was to show that even low hanging fruit, even two million dollars for sex changes in Guatemala, three hundred thousand dollars for food justice for queer and transfarmers, crazy stuff like that, you can't even get all of the Republicans on board. Did you get zero Democrats?
So we still have a problem. And I'm the lonely voice crying out on this because people are going to be disappointed, and they're going to be upset, and they're going to be saying, what happened? What happened to the Republicans. When the end of the year rolls around and there's still a two trillion dollar deficit this year and the Republicans are anticipating another two trillion the next year, that it just shows that there is not a true seriousness, even on the Republican side.
How much of this is the embedded cost of COVID becoming standardized in budgets going forward? Because we had Senator Ron Johnson on and he's talked about this quite a lot, that if we just went back to budget spending twenty nineteen, that we would have a balanced budget right now. I know inflation has risen since then, and that there are other costs that continue to grow, but it does seem that the growth of the federal government has now been embedded, which is what Democrats wanted in all few your budget bills, with the idea being anything that doesn't continue to grow those rates is considered to be a massive cut.
I think that's true. During pandemic, you know, the deficit went up to three and a half trillion in a year. The deficits have come down, yes, remember Biden was bragging he's.
Bringing the deficit down.
Yeah, well from three and a half trillion to two trillion. But a lot of that spending got embedded into government and still there. But realize that those pandemic programs, all those free money that was passed up, all the checks that were passed out, that was all the Democrats and most of the Republicans. That was a bipartisan screw up. If you will to lock the economy down, just print up money. I opposed every bit of it, every bit of the Cares program.
The PPP.
I said, you shouldn't lock us down, we shouldn't do this, and we did, and that's part of it. But part of it is this disconnect that people will say, oh, they love you on us, they love the cuts, and they're not for you know, transgender surgery and water and they're not for all these crazy trans operas in Columbia. But when push comes to shove, they're at least ten or fifteen Republicans of the Senate who love floignade. They think it's the best thing since slice bread. I think it's one of the worst and most egregious of all the spending we have in Congress. And yet if they won't cut that, you then say, well, will you cut any of the entitlements? Will you look at Medicare or Medicaid or cert Security or food stamps so welfare. Oh no, they're not looking at that either, And you start to wonder, all these Republicans really conservative at this point. And mind you, there are zero Democrats. I admit that there are zero Democrats. But we're trying to pass something this spring that will be only Republican votes, and yet we can't get Republican votes even to have the states pay more of their fair share. So Medicaid normally it's fifty to fifty states pay fifty. Fedral government pace fifty. But when they expanded Obamacare, they expanded Medicaid and they made it ninety percent. Cederl Guy paid for in ten percent states. If we just went back to fifty to fifty says that half a trillion dollars for the federal government, and it makes it a more conservative program because the states traditionally have to balance the budgets. They don't have a federal reserve. And yet we've got five or ten Republicans in the Senate that won't consider any changes to having the states pay more of their fair share for Medicaid.
We're speaking of Senator Ran Paula, Kentucky Senator. Is there anything that the Trump administration you think could do or you'd like you'd like to see them do, whether it's leading the charge to try to get something through, involving the Congress, or just in an executive capacity using executive orders to try to tackle some of these problems. Because on the one hand, it's great that we have an administration that's trying, and you know you're trying. But on the other hand, if this doesn't work with Trump and Elon, people like you and the Senate what hope is there for it to get better in the future.
Yeah, So I don't blame the administration all. This is the best administration we've had in a lifetime. He's picked the best cabinet. They are action players. They're not waiting around. I was with Robert Kennedy for breakfast this morning. He says he's cutting ten to twenty thousand workers over there. They're consolidating programs. They are doing what you would do as a CEO to clean house. So I don't blame the executive branch at all. The one thing they could do, though, is as they're finding savings, Dose says they've saved one hundred and forty semi billion dollars, they should send that money back to Congress. It's called Recision. It has a special name, but it can be voted on by a simple majority. And some of them say, well, we're worried that four or five of the big government Republicans in the Senate won't vote for it. That's when President Trump should use his political capital. He should come to Capitol Hill and say I'm sending you fifty billions in cuts every month. I'm going to send you another fifty billion in cuts, and I need you as Republicans to pull together on it. Instead, the pressure is coming to me to say, why won't you vote for a spending build that attaches five and new borrowing, And it's like, really, it seems like we're at odd purposes here that on the one hand you have Elon Musk and doos cutting. On the other hand, they're pressuring conservatives like me to vote for five trillion and borrowing. Something doesn't sit here.
You see the New York Times over the weekend and ten days ago or so, a five year anniversary of COVID. I know you haven't forgotten about it, said that we were misled by where COVID might have come from, and in some of our response.
We were misled by the New York Jobs.
That's right.
I want to give you an opportunity to tee off on that because you were one of the first people to test positive for COVID and the way that you were treated, the way your family was treated, frankly, was unacceptable. And now five years later, I do find it very interesting that the New York Times, like you said, comes out and says, oh, oh, you know, we were misled. It's like the Arson is saying, boy, somebody's really lighting fires around here.
Well, the next step, you know it, sort of coming clean, would be to say, not only we were misled, but we were misled by our government and by media establishment figures who paired it. Every move and word of Anthony Fauci. He was wrong virtually on everything. Six foot of distance, he's now admitted doesn't work. But actually it was bad advice. It was probably bad advice if you were older and overweight, or of any kind of sickly nature, to be thirty feet from somebody in a closed.
Room during the height of the pandemic, you probably should have been told to stay home. But six feet of distance, you didn't need that for kids at all. You can put them all together because guess what, kids got it very readily, but they got over it very readily. So the idea that kids were a danger and somehow shouldn't be in school or should be six feet apart, and we should build these monstrous thousand acre schools so the kids can all be six feet apart. No science behind it, and it led.
To bad behavior in the form of adults who are at risk, and then inappropriate separation and school closure on the other end, the masks they told people were in a cloth mask was a good idea, So elderly people went in to feed their elderly spouse with a cloth mask on. Guess what, that's bad medical advice. That's how you catch COVID. The cloths don't work at all. But they went years telling people inappropriate, unhealthy behavior. And then the one thing they really failed on was once you got COVID, they should have reassured you that you didn't need a mask and you didn't have to worry about catching it again, and that the chances of you dying were basically zero. After you've got it and recovered, the chance of getting it again and dying are virtually zero. And there were a lot of good, hardworking people, people working in meat packing factories where they all got COVID early on. Instead of bundling them up in all this hot clothing, we should have been saying the good news is when you come back.
From work, when you're fueled up in a week or two, Guess what, you're not going to get it again and you don't have to world this BS protective gear.
Is there anything that can be done or you think will be done? You said, you just had breakfast this morning with RFK Junior he was running AHHS. I worry Doc that, well you are doc as well as a senator, so but I worry that the doctors out there and the medical establishment has not been forced to finally admit that they were wrong. And as a matter of government administrative policy, have these things changed. I mean it should now be to me at least AHHS that have officially. Hey guys, we looked at all the data. Masks don't work. This is on the AHHS website just so you know, is that coming.
You know, that's a good point and I'm going to keep fighting that battle as well. But the other way to correct it is is like all the soldiers that were fired, they are giving them, you know, the Trump administration's position now, and I think it was done by executive orders to let them get their jobs back. We should do that to the doctors nurses that were fired as well. So think about it, the doctors and nurses. If you were a doctor working in February March of twenty twenty, it was a pre potent disease then, and there were doctors who died because you risked your life to help people you got COVID, you survived, and you came back to work, and then they said, oh, you're fired because you don't have a vaccine. And you're like, well, wait a minute, I got the disease. Why would I need to get vaccinate. I have already got the disease. And you use common sense on them and they fired you. Those people ought to be reinstated. There's still thousands of doctors and nurses now in some states. You tried to fix some of this. In Florida, they passed a law that said you cannot take a doctor's license for speech. Now that would seem to be pretty obvious, but many states, including California, were saying if you if you were to say things that I said, often that children don't need to be vaccinated for COVID, they would say, oh, you can't say that, and they would try to take my license away. Nobody did, but in California they did to other doctors who are saying similar things. There's a lot of things that need to be corrected. I think we've learned some lessons, but I fear one we're still paying for research that could turn into this nightmare again. Gain a function. Research still happening in the US and outside the US, funded by tax players. I'm still working on getting that stopped. But also we need to make sure that the essence of medical freedom exists in our country and that people are allowed to make choices for themselves and not be bullied.
Senator Paul always appreciate you making the time for us. Thank you.
Thanks guys, you're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck. We also have a major judicial election in the state of Wisconsin, probably the number one battleground state in all the nation right now, Wisconsin decided by thirty thousand votes for President Trump. Every single Senate seat comes down to the margins. Our friend Derek Hovedy lost by a tiny pinprick, Our friend Ron Johnson won by a small margin up there. I mean, it is just an absolute battleground of all battlegrounds. And we are joined now by the latest battleground race, which is the Republican side, Judge Shimmel running for reelection, running for election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. For people out there, Judge Shimmel, who don't understand what the stakes are. All over the country, money is being spent on this race, but certainly everybody in Wisconsin needs to get out and vote because we know this is going to be close. We've got a monster audience in Wisconsin. We love all of you. We hung out with you at the RNC, have had a fabulous time. Judge Shimmel, what do they need to know about this race and its importance?
Well, first off, it's great to be on with you. I am part of that major audience in Wisconsin. Every day. My lunch break between my morning trial calendar and afternoon trial calendar got you guys tuned in every day. So it's yeah, what's at stake today? What's that stake in this race? The Liberals have taken over the Wisconsin Supreme Court and they are using it as a way to take over the United States Congress. Right now, my opponent was on a national zoom call with billionaire liberal donors from across the country offering up if she gets on the court, she will turn two Republican congressional seats into Democrat congressional seats. And now the House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries just earlier this week confirmed the same thing. They're using this court to change the district maps for congressional seats to jerrymander them in two seats that are better for Democrats. You know, the really interesting thing is, as Hakim Jeffries complained about these maps in Wisconsin, you said they were jerrymandered. The maps in Wisconsin for our congressional seats were drawn by Democrat Governor Tony Evers. These aren't Republican maps. But what they're learning, what they found out is that they move the maps to make harder for Republicans, and those Republicans still won because there because Democrat ideas, the liberal ideas are not prevailing with Wisconsin voters. We're tired of this nonsense. Well they got that, they got it handed back to them last November. So now they're going to work harder to make these seats even tougher by using the court to do it. That's why this got nationalized.
What would also have what were the other implications for Obviously, the congressional issue is front and center right now. My understanding is Elon is going to be helping the campaign in this and this is truly getting national level attention right now because Wisconsin such an important state, such a critical swing state for both congressional control in the midterms, and then, as we know, in the next election cycle Wisconsin's going to be a battleground again. In addition to the congressional gerrymandering concern What are some of the other things that will come before this court and if it were a left leaning court, could be problems to take Wisconsin and the wrong to whether it's just in the day to day business of it or in the next presidential election cycle.
Well, this court's already been messing with voter integrity laws. They created a new way of looking at our Wisconsin statute that permits these ballot drop boxes that can be put out. The legislature mid did not authorize that. This court decided they want them because it opens up opportunities for fraud. It opens up all sorts of opportunities for ballot harvesting, which would be illegal in Wisconsin. But those are the things they want, they want to get rid of that. We have got major battles dealing with the relative powers between the legislative and executive branch in Wisconsin, similar to what's going on at the national level between President Trump battling out between what is his authority as the chief executive versus what some of these district courts are doing. We're seeing those same kind of battles happening in Wisconsin. They're going to go after our voter ID law. They're going to go after our if we call it Act ten. It's a law that you may remember back in twenty eleven, all those huge protests at the Wisconsin Wisconsin Capital, those are over Act ten. Act ten put some limits on the negotiating powers of public employee unions. Has nothing new with private sector unions, just public employee unions who were effective for negotiating with themselves. We're looking estimates say that that's going to cost Wisconsin taxpayers. Well, we've saved that law has saved them in over thirty billion dollars. We're looking at that being turned right back to taxpayers if that comes down. These are the issues that are going to be in front of this court. Opponent was the lead lawyer going after Act ten when she was in private practice. She was a lead lawyer going after our voter ID law. She called it traconian. These are all issues that are going to end up in this court. And she's out signaling file these lawsuits and you'll get a good turnout.
We're talking to judge bradshemmel. If Trump's voters turn out, you will win. Democrats very often are better at the special elections, at these non traditional let's call it that voting times. What is your message to people out there who voted for Donald Trump and want Trump's agenda to be implemented, because, as you said, if they rewrite these house districts, basically what Democrats are doing is they're thinking, we'll take away the House from Republicans and that will be the roadblock to Trump's agenda. Have I gotten that right? But I think that's important for you to kind of lay out for people who may not understand the larger stakes here.
Yeah. I think that's why President Trump has weighed in on this race. When we talked last Friday before he announced his endorsement, he asked me straight up, Brad, what do you think about activist judges? And I told him, mister President, the whole reason I'm running is to end the reign of activist judges on our Wisconsin Supreme Court. We have to restore our courts to objectivity judges who will follow the law, not make the law from the bench. And that was when President Trump said, look good, then Brad, you've got my full and complete endorsement. We have to prevent the movement that is restoring America from bypassing Wisconsin because we've got partisan judges on our Supreme Court who are just doing everything they can just put up a roadblock to everything that conservatives try to do to make our states stronger and better and more prosperous and safer. My opponent is a horrible Madison leftist who has had a terrible record on criminal sentencing. She goes way back. She was chief legal counsel for former Democrat Governor Jim Doyle, who did a lot of damage to our state. She was leading the charge on all that as his attorney.
We're speaking to Brad Schimmel, Judge Simmel, who is running for this critical Wisconsin State Supreme Court seat, and this election is coming up in just a matter of days. It is very tight right now, and it is very important. We're not just the future of Wisconsin as a state, but the future of the United States Congress and the control thereof for the Trump agenda. So as goe with Wisconsin, perhaps so goe with the Congress. It's very important for all of us to understand what these stakes are and to that end. To that end, Judge Shimmel, I'm wondering what kind of money are the Democrats thrown into this and what are some of the We know that this is one of these situations where they're going to pretend, oh, it's just all about Wisconsin from the Democrat side, But they're getting New York money, Hollywood money, all over the country they're piling in. I'm sure. So what are the numbers like and what are you seeing?
How about this number four out of five donors to my opponent don't live in Wisconsin.
There we go.
That's crazy, That is shocking, right, But another number that's great for me. I've got over seventy five percent of the sitting sheriffs in Wisconsin are publicly endorsing me, meaning Democrat and Republican sheriffs, because they know my work as attorney general and as a former district attorney in one of our biggest counties in the state. I've got every single law enforcement organization in Wisconsin's publicly endorsing my campaign. That that means the organization's representing over sixteen thousand frontline law enforcement officers are publicly backing me. She's got out of state people trying to buy this Supreme Court. I've got the people who take care of public safety in our state who are backing me.
We've got people listening all over the state of Wisconsin, but in particular WISN are incredible affiliate in Milwaukee. We've been number one for a long time. They do phenomenal work. Judge Schimmel, do you think people out there are aware enough of what's going on with this race? Do you get the sense that the base is in the same way they were in twenty twenty four aware of the stakes, or even with that money that's being spent, a lot of it against you, do you think that a lot of people still don't realize the stakes at play here and even the fact that this race is happening.
I knew that it was going to be tough to get that message to penetrate that this April election is every bit is important as November. So I got in this race sixteen months before election day to make sure I got campaigned in all seventy two counties of our state. I have I'm traveling constantly for this last sixteen months, going and getting face to face with voters, and I think it's worked. I've never seen conservatives this fired up about a court race. They get it we're doing. We're doing six to eight rallies every day, and at these rallies we're getting huge turnouts. I ask people if you lost any of your energy from November fifth, and they all yell out, no way, not announced. We are with you, Brad. We're fired up. And here's the great news. All we have to do, because this race has so much smaller turnout than November elections, if we turn out sixty percent of President Trump's voters from November fifth, I'll win this thing. And sixty percent is not a bad number to have to hit.
No doubt thing. You want anything you want to tell anybody about the day, the voting, voting hours, the website to go to to contributor help out, or anything like that. We just we got a huge audience wisconsuptrictar WISN number one there. Thank you all WISN listeners. What do people need to know to make sure we get this done and bring you over the finish line?
Well, check us out at shimmelfor Justice dot com. S C H I M E L F O R Justice dot com and you can find out how you can help us make sure we bring home the win. Today is you can still go vote early today. In most communities in Milwaukee, they can vote all the way through the weekend, but most communities can't afford to have clerks work all weekend. So for most of my most of your listeners, today is the last day to vote early and then on Tuesday, and we've got to get this done. This is going to be easy. There's the lines will be short, there will nothing bad is going to happen, and you're going to be able to wake up on April second feeling great that you were part of a movement that's going to save our state, just like they were part of a movement to save our nation back on November fifth. We've got to do this again, and this is a turnout race. Got to get our people out. Every vote is going to count. You talked earlier about how close some of our races are. This one is going to be absolutely as tight as all those previous races. Show up and we'll get this done.
