Happy Monday to us all.
Just PS on the board.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything.
We were up and running.
vote for the BS fool vote for Susan Crawford And I did have the opportunity yesterday to do a whole lot of nothing
It was raining.
It
was
depressing.
It was cold out.
You know, so spring thankfully spring in Wisconsin Thankfully lots of sports on so watch lots of basketball Watch some baseball and I'm
By the way, guys, the Brewers are down 11 to nothing.
Bottom of the ninth, 11 to 1, the Brewers.
Don't call to come back.
They've been here for years.
Finally got their first run on the seventh.
But the second game, I think it was the second game, third game with New York.
Right, 20 to 9.
And like lead
back to back to back single homeruns.
It was brutal.
I was like, I'm gonna watch some
baseball, man.
This is great.
I got nothing to do and be lazy.
I'm gonna sit on my ass.
I feel
like so down about the world.
Let me watch some baseball.
Feel better.
And that didn't happen.
And then the box last night made a tough loss yesterday, but this whole
time.
The whole time I'm watching the Brewer game and I'm watching the NCAA.
Great eight, I guess it was all the number one sees went on.
That's no fun.
But it'll be good basketball.
The commercials.
you know,
everything's
Uh, you can join us 855-752-484-2855-75 Civic.
So as the weekend went on, you know, I tried to try to pay a little bit of attention and you know how it goes, man.
By the time Monday rolls around, sometimes the things we thought about, you know, Friday night or Saturday morning are gone.
Mm-hmm.
But... But... Josh Call, man, was
considered a great channel.
Josh
Call?
Come on, man.
Josh, my man, what are you doing?
Molly Beck reporting at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Appeals Court rejects AG Josh Call's effort to block Elon Musk payments to Wisconsin voters.
And Molly does a fine job with her journalism.
I just want to get down to the meat of it here, if I can find it here.
Apparently, the issue being that the judges wrote that Josh Call, this is not going to get the appeals court,
had not filed or supported his request properly, which forced them to deny the request.
Attorney General Call apparently, in his effort to go to the appeals court to reject, to take on Elon Musk, to block these payments to Wisconsin voters, did not dot his eyes and cross his teeth.
He wrote, he had not filed or supported his request properly, which forced them
to the deny the request.
Now this was what, Saturday?
So let's fast forward.
Maybe that was Friday.
So yesterday, Sunday, Sunday, Wisconsin Supreme Court rejects AG Josh Call's effort to block.
Elon Musk's full payment.
So
Yeah, of course, and she didn't take it.
Maybe she should have taken it.
According to the reporting at the Milwaukee Journal, something once again, Molly Beck.
The court in a unanimous decision turned down calls request to bar musk from handing out $1 million checks to attendees of a Sunday event organized to boost conservative candidate BS just minutes before the rally was set to begin in Green Bay.
No, no, as no reason as to why, to my understanding, according to the reporting here, once again, the court did not provide a reason for rejecting calls request.
So I don't know how it all goes down, but if you're filing for your appeals court, if that was already wrong, was it wrong?
Can he change it before it goes to the Supreme Court?
Was there some administrative issues as with the initial filing to the appeals court?
I don't know, but come on, man.
Josh Call, come on.
You can't have that be the reason.
wow.
Four
You haven't heard
Come on, smokey.
I'm under enough pressure.
I can't do that.
What about the Jewish space lasers?
I mean, there's so much going against me.
How
can I be the only one to prevent forest fires?
The general sent a reporting that Musk capped up his push to get a conservative BS elected to a Supreme Court with a town hall in Green Bay Sunday night in which he handed out
$2 million instead of the state's election results would affect
The single biggest challenge I think is actually making people aware that there is this very important election for Judge BS and for deciding on adding voter ID to the Wisconsin Constitution.
What do you know about constitutions man?
Now you have a citizen here.
Do you vote man?
I don't know how they do in South Africa, bro.
On Sunday evening, Musk addressed a room filled to the point that a good number of people were standing in the back.
The crowd estimated to be about 2,000 in wide-ranging comments.
He slammed Democrats and touched on immigration, artificial intelligence, voting, and more.
And of course, there's every, every...
Good suck-up does when you're in Wisconsin.
Where the cheese head be?
Indeer yourself to the locals.
We have some sound of
You know, normally a, an election for a judge would not be that big of a deal.
Um, it just so happens that this in this case, it could decide the future, the future of the house of representatives.
It could decide then the future of America and the future of the world.
is a return, either a dividend or a growth of the asset.
Correct.
Whereby the growth by 10%, so there you'd have a $22 million investment or dividends that get paid out over time and maybe it doesn't impact necessarily your asset valuation.
Just saying.
Brad Schimmel on the other hand, we know, you know, what they call knee pad Brad,
We see you there, callers.
Be patient.
We want to give you ample time for your thoughts and concerns and observations.
So please stick around through the break.
We'll get to all of them.
But, but, but!
One of the recipients of Elon Musk's one million dollar checks.
Mm-hmm.
was the chairman of the Wisconsin college Republicans.
Sparking some suspicion on social media that the giveaway was fixed.
No.
Nicholas Jacobs, a student at the University of Wisconsin River Falls is listed as the chairman of Wisconsin's college Republicans chapter.
He has made his account private on X the social media platform that Musk owns.
Yeah, this guy apparently won the million bucks, man.
The million bucks Wisconsin College Republicans chapter now if Elon wants to give his money away to the Wisconsin Republican Chapt College Republicans chapter, that's fine.
But don't pretend like this is some sort of, I don't know, random exercise.
You know what I mean?
Come on.
Just cut the checks.
Just say, Hey, thanks for voting for BS.
Well, thank you for listening to the DS show.
Let's help solve your show and vote.

This will go on until five o'clock central today.
So play along and good luck to us all eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five civic again this
The story that, that when Musk came to town, and again, I'm sorry, Josh Call, Wisconsin's attorney general was unsuccessful in his efforts to get this stopped.
Because apparently they didn't do things right.
And then the Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously rejected it.
So dudes out there, Elon Musk out there cast spending that money around.
And as mentioned, one of those recipients, Nicholas Jacobs, a student at the University of Wisconsin River Hills, he won a
million bucks
There's your
The
decide
and usually the guy like the last 30 seconds of the commercial speaker really fast You know that kind of thing.
All right, I don't know how all that worked or even matters or what the case is if there is any illegality I'm certain our attorney general will do his damnedest to find out
But I'm just saying, man, you give a college kid a million bucks, everyone's busted down his door for beer money, man.
Forget it, man.
He apparently made his ex-account private.
You
know,
He better be buying.
But he's Republican.
He's
Well done.
I hate to rain on your show.
We are not going to be without campaigning.
It's not going to end because I'm more on in charge.
convicted felon, the convicted rapist announced yesterday that he was going to be running for a third term.
So now we're going to be bombarded with third term ads from the moron incompetent in charge.
You know, Cindy, I don't get too excited here.
Well, even if that were to be the case, it'd be at least a couple of years out and before then we'll have another Wisconsin, we have like six years in a row, Wisconsin, Supreme court races.
Is that right?
Yeah.
We have a Supreme court race until 2030.
So, but we do, we get a little
reprieve Cindy on that note.
I mean, I kind of go back and forth on this.
Number one, I think it's total ass on it.
And everyone even suggesting such a thing is just simply trying to troll us.
But, but, but, you know, these are the same cats that will push the limit on everything.
My, my only upside would be is I can't wait for Barack Obama to run against
them.
Not heard that one yet.
I haven't heard that one
for us?
quick one i voted like the first person municipality on the first day really voted voted for cropper nice yeah so i kind of don't yeah i i kind of have a problem with uh... shibble urt not shibble with call trying to shut that down before it happened i'm not big on that public like
I'm like pre-crime, right?
If it's, if it's truly illegal, which I, it definitely feels like it is.
However, I'm not sure anymore with all the holes that have been shot into election law from the previous governor, but it feels illegal.
So just charge the crime.
Well, I hear it's the same, but how about this though?
And if the money's now been handed out.
So if there is a crime to your point, Matt, certainly Josh Call should be able to go out and prosecute that.
My other point would be though, however, you know, attempted murder, attempted robbery.
Those things, the crime hasn't been committed yet was the conspiracy to commit the crime, right?
So you're not going to wait for the murder to happen before you're charged with the murder, right?
You're going to charge them ahead of time if you know it's common, right?
Right, and those could be conspiracy charges or things like that.
I don't think that case would have been very strong.
It's literally just, they're going to self-deal money as it appears they probably did, right?
So just let them commit the crime and make it even easier.
Well, I think if giving out water and ice cream is, I don't know how a million dollars isn't.
I think the water and ice cream, the water anyway was eventually overturned.
Matt, thanks for the call, man.
It's just, it's just so slimy and dirty to me, man.
Uh, and I, and I appreciate the perspectives and I, and I get, you know, you want people to motivate people to get out and vote, but really you're going to start paying people to get out and vote and specifically presumably for the one you want them to vote for.
Uh, you know, was any money given away to folks that were not going to vote for Bredsham with the, and the take, or at least the, the tell was the deleted tweet that must put out there saying it's basically this for your vote.
So.
I mean, if, if, uh, attorney general call can, you know, get his typewriter working properly, maybe we can see if there's any, can be any crimes, uh, prosecuted here.
It certainly seems dirty.
I don't think billionaires or millionaires, anybody should be coming in and paying people for their vote.
And that's essentially what I think this thing turns out to be.
Uh, if that's all it is, man, if we're just going to have billionaires coming and buying people's elections on folks, we don't have a democracy.
Uh, come back with us.

Gary from Madison says, Jesse, I like the way you and Dom get along.
I like the way you get along.
Yeah.
You're all right, Jess.
You're okay.
What else we got here?
Oh, the Chuckster from racing.
I'm surprised.
Neapad Brad wasn't standing outside in Musks Green Bay Town Hall giveaway handing out medallions vote for me.
I'll be kissing ass every day.
Chuckster.
I love it.
K A E D when the guy went when BS when Brad Schuml was attorney general state of Wisconsin, he spent
$10,000 or more on medallion coins.
Let's go give away because he would he put on the K AED, meaning kicking ass every day.
Apparently this is one of his favorite sayings.
He puts it on his.
e-mail signatures and so forth, but I think Chuckster from Racine is on to something.
Given the way that Musk has been throwing money at BS, it should be a coin saying, kissing ass.
Every day, Chuckster, you win that one.
855-752-4842, 855-755 Civic.
Just a little bit more on this, and just a general overview of the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
It's nationwide.
I mean, this place is everywhere.
It's international.
The Guardian did a write-up on this as well.
Wisconsin Supreme Court race, a litmus test for Elon Musk's political power.
The Hill also reporting Musk's influence faces first big test in Wisconsin.
And if the fate of the world, I'm just saying, if the fate of the world rests on this Wisconsin Supreme Court race,
If it rests on us, if it's all in Wisconsin, I don't know, man.
Do you ever see the map of like the drunkest counties in the country?
It's all in Wisconsin.
Like every county is the drunkest county in the country.
They're all in Wisconsin.
There might be a couple in Texas as well.
I don't know if we can handle that kind of pressure.
I hope we can.
I hope we can help you folks out there, reject Elon Musk's influence.
And the fact, and I think the Dem Party and those that are campaigning for Crawford and against BS are on onto something as evidenced by the reporting on this.
This is about Musk and money in politics.
This has very little to do with Brad Schimmel.
It really does.
This is all about rejecting the billionaire direct influence.
I mean, he's coming to our state.
He's paying the college Republican a million bucks.
I mean, good if it's... I mean, if you want to cast that check, good for you.
You want to write it, want to cast it, knock yourself out.
Don't be buying votes, but that's what, of course, what they're doing.
I have a problem with all that, but if you want to sit up there and make it rain, which is civic media's breakout spring word today, if you want to make it rain, Elon Musk, knock yourself out.
But don't expect us to fall for it.
I mean, I hope people take the money and run, but I don't, I don't want to be known as a state that would, would, would bend the knee to a guy like Elon Musk just cause he's got money.
So what?
Good luck, man.
You can't take it with you.
You can't even take it to Mars, dude.
So what are you going to do with it?
You're going to spread of the round here, trying to say that.
What?
If this election goes, if Susan Crawford gets elected somehow, somewhere, it's going to be the end of what?
Civilization as we know it, the decline of Western civilization.
You, sir, and your money is a problem here.
Not how Susan Crawford will vote on a Supreme Court case before her.
This is absolutely a referendum on you, sir.
It is absolutely a referendum on the Trump administration and their efforts.
And this is absolutely, don't kid yourself, a referendum on whether we want money in politics.
If you thought it was a scene before, the guys out there giving money away to voters right now, last night a million bucks twice, plus a hundred bucks to sign the thing.
Is that what we're doing now?
Is that how it is?
Is that democracy?
Is that representation?
Is that governed by the people, for the people?
Sounds like a billionaire buying stuff.
855-752-4842-855-755 Civic.
I remember I saw, I was in Mexico a long time ago and it happened to see a television show where they were interviewing Michael Jackson and Michael Jackson went to this store and bought like a
just a crap ton of art and he walked walked in the jail like i want that i want to buy that i want to buy that but just bought a bunch of stuff just point point point point point point point want to send it to the house i mean that that and i was thinking about man dude do you really want that he's just saying i mean i don't quite understand that mindset right when you got so much money it's just a different world it's an entirely different thing and and and while i get it and if you want to be a hoarder and keep all that money and do your thing okay
But we as the people we can determine to tax you or not.
To tax you more.
We can change whether or not you can write this off or write that off.
These are all tax laws that are influenced by Congress making laws and determining how and when and where and what will be taxed and to what degree.
We do that.
Us people.
We do that.
Same thing with our elections.
We do that.
We can determine whether or not we want this kind of money in our elections.
As of right now.
As of right now.
These things are fine.
This is totally fine.
This is how they want it done.
They want to come out and buy your election I don't like that and if you are if you are all about we the people if you're all about your rights I don't think you want billionaires buying elections not on the right not on the left So let this be a referendum on that let this let this election tomorrow here in the state of Wisconsin be a referendum
And whether you not want people like Elon Musk rolling into town putting on his cheesehead faking to be someone like us and Paying off everybody.
I don't think that's okay.
I think that's I don't I don't think that is healthy for our democracy I think we should reject that and in doing so what do we do to reject it?
We reject Brad Schimmel because Brad Schimmel is a whole over from Scott Walker We already rejected all of this.
We're gonna have to reject it again and again and again and again
8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2-8-5-5-7-5-CIVIC.
Whenever we reject you folks, Ollie from the North Wards, you're up.
Welcome.
What do you got for us?
Well, I just want to say I was listening to the Brewers game and I was appalled by the fact that Trump was on there spewing nothing but lies about Brad Schimel, how he's all for
He's all for the people in blue and he's going to be our savior and nothing could be further from the truth.
And I, as one of Wisconsinites, will not let my vote be bought.
Our state,
our country, our world is worth more than a few million dollars from somebody who thinks he can buy us.
Thank you so much.
I absolutely appreciate you.
You're right.
And that should be that.
Now, I hope that and I hope that is the attitude of most people.
But it's hard, you know, you see that money dangled in front of you.
A hundred bucks.
A million dollars.
A million dollars.
I mean, I had to get, but you're right, there are things more valuable than that.
And there's no amount of money that I would want to accept to reject a government of we the people, by the people, for the people, to reject our inalienable rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
There's no amount of money to make me accept that.
I don't want that.
I think most people don't want that.
No, I know people will check, cast the checks.
I get that.
It's just the world we live in.
Why would you say no?
Hell, you could take it and donate it, right?
I mean, there's lots of things you could, you could take it because you could do better, more good with it than, than Elon Musk could or-
So the world is watching.
And Elon Musk, the world's richest man who, you know, blessed us with his presence yesterday in Green Bay told us, man, it's all on the line.
Everything's on the line.
Destiny of humanity.
What if it is?
I sure don't want that guy went in.
I like to sleep in sometimes eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five civic so the hill the guardian I mean this is all over the New York Times I mean this is national news there's also other news real quick I want to get to as well before move on to some of the other national topics Wisconsin examiner reporting federal cut of 12 billion dollars in health funds will cost Wisconsin 210 million
dollars, according to Governor Evers, $210 million.
The money involved is the Wisconsin share of $12 billion to combat infectious disease and other serious health problems that the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services has summarily cut off, according to NBC News and New York Times.
Now in Wisconsin, the funds were used for suicide prevention.
Ah, we don't need that substance abuse prevention.
No, no problem there.
We have no substance abuse problems in the state whatsoever, alcohol at all.
No, none of that.
No need that.
Serious health problems that the, I'm sorry, what else we got?
Substance abuse, suicide prevention.
public health departments, I guess we're fine there, programs and laboratories including EMS services and the Wisconsin Immunization Registry, the office of Governor Evers said on Friday.
The governor's office discussed the health fund's cutback along with other programs targeted for reductions and considered vulnerable under the Trump administration, including education, funding and farm programs, and in the Department of Veterans Affairs.
On Thursday, as mentioned last week, the Trump administration said it will cut 100,000, pardon me, 10,000 employees from the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services.
Evers said this in a statement on Friday, reckless cuts by President Trump and Elon Musk to help pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires are causing devastating consequences for Wisconsin kids, families and communities and services they depend on every day.
You know, services like.
substance abuse prevention, public health department, suicide prevention, programs and laboratories, EMS services, you know, those kinds of things.
With threats to Medicaid and Medicare cuts to researching cures for Alzheimer's disease and cancer efforts to undermine food and drug safety and continued attacks on the Affordable Care Act, the Trump administration is jeopardizing health and access to healthcare in Wisconsin and across our country.
Yeah.
A state rep read a new bar or assembly minority leader said on Friday that cuts will be devastating for Wisconsinites to rely on these essential programs.
Again, President Trump and Elon Musk are selling out Wisconsin families and communities threatening our health and safety just to pay for unnecessary taxes for the billionaire friends.
I mean, yep, I mean, it's a recurring theme here.
And who was who was going to be affected by that?
Us.
Us.
All of us.
All of us.
Red, blue, independent, libertarians, communists, anybody who was reliant upon the system.
Two hundred and ten million dollars in federal funds.
Gone.
I guess we got a rainy day fund, huh?
You know, and Dems, Republicans, Republicans are gonna be affected by that.
I don't think it's just not going to anyway.
Continue to hear and see reports of, oh.
I didn't think the panther would bite off my face.
Well, what did you think was going to happen?
Here we go.
And at the end of the day, are any of these things legit?
Are they legal?
Because once again, Congress is the one that allocates the funding for these programs, not the president.
So I'll just continue court cases on that.
We'll perhaps review some of those later as well.
We'll get to some more of your calls and your texts coming up next, 855-752-4842-855-757.
Come back with us.

history.
He's erasing black, black World War II history.
This is horrible.
And I hope the minorities will get out there and vote because
Trump he's just the racist and he's not when you go into court, he's not going to rule for the.
The little the little guy, you know, I just hope that people get out and vote.
And I have so much to say, but I'll let to go and just get out the vote and we got to get Susan Crawford in there and thanks for the show.
Get the voting plan.
Make it happen.

So it comes down to turnout.
So make sure you can get everybody, not just yourself, good people you can out there to vote.
And to your point, yeah, man, you know, we the people when it was first written didn't really mean all, we all the people, you know what I'm saying?
We the white, landowning men.
So I'm down with like, like actually we all of the people.
Everybody yeah, we the people all of us every single one of us Inalienable rights man, and I and I this applies to at least in in in this country even if you're a Migrant even if you're here on a green card You're you're you're you're inalienable rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness You're right.
You're right to speak out.
You still you still freedom of speech in this country Period full stop
whether or not you're a citizen or not.
So, yeah, there's a distinction here, right, between the parties.
There is.
I'm down with We The People.
That includes trans and black people and women.
You kidding me?
Yes, We The People.
Every single one of us breathing, living, eating, drinking, sleeping, whatever, man.
We all got that and if you're there doing any of those things you have those rights And you got to fight for them because apparently other folks would like to take those away or buy them I mean, you know, it's what I'm not gonna say it took your rights away.
I bought them
Let's but only if you only if you you know defend it
And we have an election tomorrow.
It's going to, in many people's opinions, matter a whole lot.
I'm one of them.
I don't know if it's going to change the world, but it certainly would be nice to push back on all the nonsense that we are coming out of this administration.
All the things that we have lowered the bar on to put up with, like, just, you know, get the richest man in the world, put a cheesehead on them, and have him hand out money to college Republicans and say,
I'm concerned about America.
Let this be a referendum on so many things.
And for all the people who are calling in and texting in, and I've gotten a couple of them already today who are saying, you know, you've talked a lot about Musk, but what about Soros?
I want to say this again, and I've said it in a couple of shows before.
Elon Musk has contributed over a full quarter, over 25% of the money in this campaign.
Over 20 million dollars.
Let this be a reference to say absolutely not unacceptable.
You forgot to mention that Soros is Jewish.
That's part of the problem there for them.
Yep.
For these guys.
I'd just hate to say that, but that's part of it.
And I wonder for you, the little Republican has a million dollar check on how much he's got to show taxes on that.
gift taxes because that's tax that's taxable income.
Oh, yeah, man.
Oh, yeah.
How about that?
You know what I mean?
And for broke-ass college kids, are you giving that kind of money?
I mean, who knows?
You could, you could.
overdose and drink himself to death in a week.
You never know that kind of money.
I mean, just think what you could do with all the party and man, your college never give a college kid that much money.
