I think I should probably listen to this guy. You might know a thing or do. I'll be
talking to my mother. I think you should go to the hospital right away. Yeah, yeah, but my foot's
been hurting me. Before we take it to the hospital, could you look at my ankle? I think it's a little
swollen. We always try to do that. Horned it on someone else. So we don't have to make an
appointment and come back and pay all over again. No more people do that, not me. Actually,
my doctor for 20 some odd years, my mother went to him as well here in the, it was in summers.
He'd just let me do that. Horned it on her appointments. And he would, that was it. That's
what he did. Oh, yeah. So I, he doubled dipping on the old health care system. Listen to you.
Double dip those chips. Okay, before we get into all the heavy stuff, we got a lot of heavy
stuff to talk to about what's in the news. We have something very important to discuss here.
Very important. I mean, I don't want to make light of it. I don't want to make front of it
because it's important. Denise's parents move the Florida and they're very, very happy.
And Denise appears to be upset over this. My little Denise is crying. My, my adult Denise is
very happy for my, my mom, my paw lockwood. Yeah, you know, but you have to set the context a
little better there. Come on, dad. That's about the size of what I said. So like, I grew up at a
farm in Ohio, in Worcester, Ohio, it's about an hour south of Cleveland. And this is where
I grew up. This is where little Denise happened, right? And so my parents auctioned and they just
didn't like get a moving van and like load all of their stuff. No, they tossed everything
that wasn't really nailed down. And they went in this little like their whole entire 60 years of
being together. They put it a little little baby you all, right? So they're like, you want this,
you want this, you want that? It's yours. Well, my parents, when they left their home now, they,
their home, they, they lived in New York, their entire lives on the Long Island since 1955.
And in 2000, my mother decided we're going to retire the Florida. So she didn't want to bring
anything with her. Everything was new in Florida. She literally got rid of every stick of furniture.
She threw out my high school diploma. She threw out my father's medical books. She threw out my
beetle ticket stubs from the Shea Stadium concert. I went to see the beetles through those out.
My brother calls me and he said, you better get over here. I'm 1,500 miles away,
waiting to have better get over there. Mom's throwing everything out. Look, she got a huge dumpster
in the driveway. Everything's going. That's what they did. Like literally some of my childhood
still live there. We're like, Narkey got my mom and dad. Do you know how big that dumpster was?
I'm like, yeah, the dumpster was bigger than the house. Yeah. Mom's throwing out my medical
books out of there. What am I? What's mine? I can't see. It's just, it keeps coming in.
But to be fair, they actually moved during the hurricanes. Helene, the night before Helene
came to Florida. My, yeah, my mom, my dad and my, and my brother-in-law were driving down there.
My mother did it like the Baltimore cults when they moved to Indianapolis. It's two o'clock
in the morning when nobody was paying attention. That's a great time to do it. I'm going to have
to chalk that up. So when I do that, when the Baltimore cults moved, they didn't want anybody,
you starting a big fuss. I mean, if you're listening, this is the way we're going to do it.
Like the Baltimore cult, leaving the Indianapolis, cheats throwing everything. And this was my mother's
response. And mommy threw up my head to go to plumber. If it was that important to you,
you would have taken it with you. That's her answer. Yes. And she threw out everything,
which you got to Florida. Everything was new. All new furniture. Everything. She brought nothing
back from the old house because she just were retiring. Ten years later, she was moving back to
the house. Oh, wow. She moved to an apartment. Did you, did you do the I told you so?
No, because my father was starting to lose it with Alzheimer's. And my mother just couldn't,
I was flying, I was flying down to Florida every few weeks to deal with this. The one time I got
back to the airport here in Milwaukee, I got a call and I booked another flight and never left
the airport. Yeah. I had to get back down there again. And then my sister-in-law and my brother
were going, and this is mom, we can't come down every weekend. This is not like we're next door
neighbors. Yeah. Well, so like one of the things that happened though is, so my mom and dad, they
moved down there. They're like, clean happens. They're, they're good. They're, they're solid.
They're like really super happy, right? So like a few days later is when they start talking about
Milton. And so like my mom's on dialysis three times a week. So they ended up holding up in
this stadium for like five days in my dad's probably like Jones and for like something to do.
And they get to the house. Like their entire area that they live in is all flooded. And I'm
not just like it's still flooded. The house like literally God must have had a hand in like
putting a little bubble around Lahtman, Pa, Laquitland because like the water was literally up
to the driveway, the driveway. I know my daughter was there. Their water was going,
it actually came under the floorboards in the house. Yeah. So super grateful mom and dad,
but they sound so happy though. Like I think my dad best described his tone of voice is
giddy like a girl. But little Denise isn't happy. Little Denise is so great. I literally,
I went to call my mom and dad the other day. And I still keep trying my old phone.
I know. You know, I don't do this when my parents moved from from their home. They bought
their home. They will talk about something less serious than this, but they bought their home in
1955 for 14,500. My mother was so worried she wouldn't be able to sell the house. She took the
first offer for 250,000. Oh, the house was sold again for 450,000. It's now on the market for 650,000.
Isn't that crazy? And they bought it for 14. It's it's massive. People on long Island,
it's a beautiful community. Yeah. And the house is in great shape. My mother kept updating it.
And so the house was in great shape. A little Donald didn't care.
But Donald didn't care. No, little Donald didn't care because
yeah, I had a good time there. Yeah. I moved on. Yeah. And you know, I'll tell you something.
I know that I mentioned this on the year ever. My brother moved to Chicago to go to medical school.
And I moved in radio. I moved to Atlanta. The night before I moved to Atlanta that night,
I stayed at there. My wife and I stayed at that house. And because all our stuff was in the moving
van going. And my father said, don't worry, Donald will be back. And my mother said, Donald
is never coming back. Jeffrey, my brother will be back. Now Jeffrey's in Chicago for every
Donald, but don't worry. My mother said again, he's never coming back. And my mother was right.
I never came back. Yeah. I think I think one of that I've kind of like self-social analyzed
this a little bit is is that oh, I think one of the hard parts was is I left when I was 22.
And I moved. I moved here. I moved to Racine for love. And
how that worked out for you. Well, there's a reason why Mr. X Denise is Mr. X
Denise, but you know, it's it's fine because I got a beautiful intelligent capable daughter.
And I learned a lot. Let's put it that way. So, but like, honestly, that was, you know,
I thought I would always be able to go back. And I know this. But this has the story has a good
ending. You know, why do you know why little Denise is kind of singing the singing a little
is because when I was growing up, I squared danced. And one of the one of the girls that I used to
square dance with her brother is the one who bought the farm. Oh, I can go back and visit.
Oh, look at that. Denise has visiting rights. I too. She what do they call that in
when you have visiting right? What's that thing when children you have when you get divorced
and this time called visiting rights. You have visitation. I have visitation. Super rise
visitation. Yeah. Yeah. You know, when I moved out of Brown Deer to come to Racine,
Brown Deer, Wisconsin, the people who bought my house and turned it into a brothel and house of
bondage and prostitution. Oh, my God. We did talk about that. So I can never go back.
Probably frowned on in the Rosenberg House. Okay. So here's what it is. We're going to talk
about less serious topics like politics and everything else coming up. And what's going on?
Racine him and and more with Denise Lockwood. Now that we got the important stuff out of the way
from Racine County. That's coming up at just the moment here. WRJ and 645.
Local news. Timeless hits. Keep it here.
Talk to Denise Lockwood, founder of Racine County. I
asked the look at the schedule of what we got here. Racine has become one of the primary
centers of national politics. How many people so far running for president or vice president
have been in Racine in the past month? I think all of them. Yeah, all of them.
Well, I mean, actually Biden was, well, Biden's not running, but Harris has been here.
Well, JD Vance is going to be here tonight. And then you also had Tim Walls here last week.
And then you've definitely had Trump here. So yeah, everybody, we've got the whole checklist.
We are grown zero. Yeah, well, how did Racine get to be ground zero? Why not Madison? Why not?
It's the perfect storm, really. I mean, you've got, you've got economic diversity. You've got,
you've got a really very blatant center of poverty. You've got the middle class. You've got
a lot more affluent folks living out west of the eye. You also have agriculture. You have
manufacturing. You have, you just have, and then you also have Microsoft, right? And so like,
I think when I think about why Racine County has been such a huge focus, it's because of that.
You also have a lot of diversity when it comes to black and brown people. And you've got
just all of the mix. We reflect the United States. And so that's what is really drawing people
here, but also we're winnable. We are on from both sides because over the last several presidential
races that margins have been very slim. So Trump won the 2020 election by maybe, I want to say less
than 10% of the vote. Hillary won the, I actually know, I'm having one of those not enough coffee
moments done, Rosen. Yeah, that's actually so like the Hillary won just by a little bit. And I
might be wrong on that. I'm having somebody fact checked me because I'm sure somebody helped
here is going to anyway. I'm having, you know, one of those not enough arguments, but it wasn't
by much. And so we are persuadable, but also very politically involved. The last few elections are
our participation in the presidential elections is very high. The last in 2020, our voter turnout
rate was super high. I want to say and correct me if I'm wrong. I think it was about 85, 90%
voter turnout. And so we were we're in, but this, this is different. This is very different.
I got to tell you, I just get back from Door County. I have never seen so many yard signs
in my entire life. Yeah. Then on this trip from Racine all the way up to Door County. It was just
and they were everywhere. Now the further north I got, the less I recognize some of the secondary
names on there here, you can recognize some of the secondary names. I got up there and I said,
I've never seen somebody yard signs before, even in my own neighborhood. I mean, people are
really taking sides in this. Yeah. And you know, I've noticed in my neighborhood that, you know,
during the 2020 election, my neighborhood, there were a lot more signs, but there aren't as many
now. And I'm wondering if people are either still deciding or they're afraid to put yard signs
out. I never do. I never do. However, oh, I don't either. Like the political yard signs are not
ever happening in the Lockwood Davis household. That's just, that is an ongoing, unfortunate.
That's a, that's a statute. There's a new statute. And I tell my husband, where a button,
where a button, if that's where you feel, where a button, because I cannot, I cannot be that person
for having political signs in our yard. So that's just one of the caveats of being a journalist.
Yeah, I don't, I don't do it because I don't know how my wife vote. She never tells me. I have
no idea who she votes for ever. And the reason she doesn't tell me was because she says, if I,
if she tells me how I, if she voted and I don't like it, I'll never let her forget it. I'll just,
I'll just stay on her case. She says, we avoid all arguments now. We don't get this doesn't, you
know, so that we just avoided. I don't tell you. So you know, you tap out. See that in lock with
in mind, pile up with land that does not have because my dad is very much a Republican and my mom
is very much a Democrat. And so they have like this little system. They, they, they have a thing,
right? So yeah, they talk about politics, but very, no, we can't talk about it in my house.
No, no, no, no, no, no, she doesn't want to. And you know what, my respect, that she doesn't
want to hear me rant and raving. And I, and I do. So I, I say you're right, though politics in
the house. I just don't discuss it. Now when I get in the phone with my brother, no, we have a
great time on the phone. Oh, I bet. Yeah, but not mine. So do you have any like difficult
relationships like in your family at larger extended family? Because, because I do know the old
vote. We've kind of like tapped out. We're like, we're going to still like each other at the end
of the day. That this isn't worth it. Kind of a thing. It's worth it. Yeah. Well, some families do,
you know, I ran into an acquaintance of mine the other day at a rest local restaurant. And he
was saying that he has a friend who's married and they're going to get divorced after, after
the election. And I'm like, really? How does that happen? It's that bad, huh? Yeah. So, and
on three mile road, not far from where I live, there is this, there are these two houses and I'm
really wanting to go knock on their door and ask them how they're doing because one has Trump
signs and the other one has Biden Harris signs or Biden Harris Harris wall signs. And so like,
how do you coexist with that? Right? Like, how do you navigate? You know, I don't have a problem.
My neighbors tend to all vote like I do. I think they do anyway. And my
immediate family, I think they tend to vote the same way. I just went on with the arguments.
Yeah. But, you know, there are people today, you know, I deal with every day that I just want to
say to them, why do you feel this way? Why do you want to vote this way? It doesn't matter who
you vote for. Why do you feel this way? And I had a 10 times, I go, don't.
No, I don't. I think I can tell you though that there's a lot of misinformation that is coming
through. And it's hard to navigate that, especially on my, on my Racine County I Facebook page.
And so it's, it's to the point where I'm now, unfortunately, needing to block a few people
because they keep spreading a lot more misinformation than I am going to tolerate. And so
we're getting so close to the election. Like, if you're putting information on my Racine County
I Facebook page about voter fraud and things along that line, I mean, no, 2020 election was not
stolen, but it's not. I go to a lot of radio pages and movie pages. This is what I am.
The political commentary will work its way into those things. We're talking about, you know,
movies from the 50s and 60s thrillers and it creeps in by, I can't believe you, you know,
when the Republicans or the Democrats were in charge, we didn't have movies. What are you talking about?
Not even that. I'm talking about for Hitchcock and you're talking. Yeah, yeah, it's like
stand topic. We have a really hard time being on topic, you know, and but the one of the things
that I've noticed is that there's a lot of people who are just not believing information,
basic like what we would call shared knowledge, right? So and here's an example. So I'm sitting
at the Tim Walls thing and I'm waiting for everybody to come through and I just post a photo
and it's just a photo of, you know, empty chairs and and the American flag and Memorial Hall,
right? And I put this post and I said, hey, we're just waiting for Tim Walls and I'm hearing that
other candidates from the Republican Party are going to be coming next week and you can't say
that received not a national focus for politics. And somebody's like, well, they look out the
Democrats actually hang the American flag and then somebody's like, well,
that photo is just AI. And I'm like, no, I took the photo. I took the photo. It's basic stuff
like that. And you can't have good conversations when we do that. Somebody wrote one of the
comedians said, he said, I can't, I'm going to screw it up now. He said something about trying to
change people's minds on Facebook. He said, you know, it's really easy to do. We never really,
you could change somebody's mind on Facebook. You can't do it. I am on no pages on Facebook
where it has to do with politics. I just don't want to deal with it. A lot of people aren't
tapping out, you know, I just don't want to deal with it because I don't want to, I can't deal
with the arguments and I don't want to get it. I get it because it's hard even for me as a journalist
and the owner of a news website to do this work as well. It's kind of sometimes I'm not going to lie.
It's sometimes soul-sucking stuff. But I feel really, really passionate about doing this work
primarily because nobody else is going to do a lot of the things that we're doing because of
the current status of legacy media, right? So, you know, you've got a newspaper in town that now
has only a handful of people. And what happened over there is just the fact that newspapers,
nationwide, I mean, except in New York Times. And the Washington Post. Yeah, you know,
and do you know why that is is because they fund journalism through gaming, like
that one word puzzle that everybody does, New York Times owns that.
Well, they crossword puzzle? Yeah, it's not the crossword puzzle.
No, no, no, no, no, it's the other one. The word, the word, the word, the word, the word.
The New York Times, I was at professional conference and the guy that was with New York Times
was saying that's how they're funding a lot of their journalism is through gaming.
That's where we are. So, say you tell me if the journal times came up with a good game,
like, Wordal? Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, but I mean, that's a whole another subject. And I
really try to stay in my own lane because I really just know what I want to make sure
the community has. And it's hard. It's hard to fund journalism right now, especially with the fact
that, you know, I, I, you know, you know, you're trying to fund journalism. Yeah, I'm trying to
find a, but you know, it's, it's one of those things that we've had a lot of success with our
reader revenue. And we can kind of get into the weeds on that. And I don't want to go there,
completely, but, you know, it's one of those things where people are starting to understand that
they need to have really strong information. But one thing that should scare you is that we now
have more fake news websites than we do local news websites across the United States.
Just let that sit there with you for a moment.
Sit your coffee. I think I have a point. Denise Lockwood is here founder of Racine County. I
have seven o'clock on the noggin. Let's check news.
That's funny. Yeah, but it strikes a nerve that like how we look at
presidents is really interesting or candidates, I should say, is interesting because
talk radio has been an interesting dynamic within those, having those conversations. I can tell you that.
I'm just going to let that hang right there. I was laughing too hard at that because it's so true.
Would you, would you, even if we use the best candidate, would you allow somebody named Charles
Manson Hitler, even though he was going to run this country perfectly, would you still vote for him?
That is, that is a challenge. What's in a name? Okay, let's talk about some other things here. By the
way, you noticing more signs this year, we talk about long, long, long sign. Are you noticing more
this one? I'm noticing it's spotty to me, but there has been more signs in over the last few,
like few weeks. I do know that on the Democratic party side, they had to remake all the signs,
right, from the Biden, Harris, so they didn't get their signs out until the last few months, right?
So that was a big challenge for a while. You didn't see a lot of Harris Walls signs at all,
and that's why, because I asked, and I'm like, hmm, that's interesting.
Oh, that's commercials TV radio. You know, I, I always love the TV commercials.
If whatever candidate you're vote there against, they always find these black and white photos of
the messy hair facial expressions that are scary, a blink of the eye, one eye's open, one eye's closed.
They always find these bad photos to put up there. And then their candidate looked like a ray of
sunshine just right with perfect hair, the family, the teeth are smiling. There's no spinach between
the teeth. Yeah, but one of the things that I've noticed is just somebody who studies communications
and how, you know, that media critic in me as well is like, when you see a lot of these ads,
one of the things that I see is when we were in Ohio, when we were in a lot of the different
states when we were traveling this year, we saw the same ad base, and it was just a different
candidate. So, I mean, who knew that puberty blockers were actually going to be the main problem
that we needed to solve, right? Who do you, and a lot of it's a lot of these ads are homophobic,
and you've got some deep pushing of the buttons of around fear with the immigration around
immigration. And one of the things that I'm noticing is the setting of the stage for challenges
for people who have maybe some different types of cards that they have. So, I just got a press
release from Brian's style camp around challenging and asking questions from the WEC for clarification
around some of these different kinds of visitor cards or temporary, so I'm seeing signals that
this is the hill that they want to really push on. And one of the things that was really interesting
to me is the conversation around illegal immigrants voting, friends, illegal, or actually,
people who are non-citizens cannot vote. And what's interesting is a lot of that new cycle came
from the Heritage Foundation. The Heritage Foundation is the Think Tank around the authorship
of Project 2025 and had a very heavy influence in a lot of the Republican National Party agenda.
And so, like, those are the things we're talking, you know, not to slam radio, but like...
Don't never do that. Don't fight the hand that he's doing, right? But like, there's a
a mediation that needs to happen when we're consuming information about whether things are
true or false. Is this the first time in U.S. history that a former president can't even vote for
himself? Well, in Wisconsin, he wouldn't be. If he was on probation or parole, so, like, I...
Because he convicted felon. So, not all states are this... Oh, really, okay.
...to that, right? I did a whole, like, back in 2020, I did a whole five-part series on felony voter
disenfranchisement and people who are convicted of felonies that are in the middle of their sentence
and so they can be on what's called paper is probation or parole. And so, those folks cannot vote.
And if Trump was a resident of Wisconsin and if he was on probation or parole, he would not be able
to vote for him. What about in Florida? I'm not sure. I believe Florida has a condition where if
you've served out your prison term... Well, he hasn't, obviously. Well, and he... Yeah, because he
hasn't been sentenced. Yeah, but he's still convicted felonies. He is a convicted felon. But I believe,
and this is what fascinated me is, is that when I was doing that series, Florida has a provision
where if you're... If you've done your time, your prison sentence, if you've paid your fines and
feeds off, then you can vote. Yeah, it's something I never have to personally worry about.
And Connecticut. In Connecticut, this is funny. In Connecticut, if you are in... They don't take
anybody's rights away. So even if you're in prison, you can vote. And Washington, D.C. was looking
at a provision, like similar to that. But we states treat that very differently. And I think that
so Wisconsin has one of the highest incarceration rates in the entire United States.
We just ran a poll the other day I had here in the morning. And it said, how many people will be
happy when this election is over? Me. Me. A lot of people have. There is a percentage of people,
like 14% said, no, they want it to continue. You got to be kidding. I'm exhausted with this thing
already. Right. Try writing it. Yeah. And I'm a, I'm a news junkie. I listen to talk radio a lot.
I listen to the news shows. And I am putting on true crime shows now, because that's making me
happier than listening to the politics. Do you want to hear something that was funny? Is that
my husband and I were, we're watching TV together one of the rare moments in the last three months.
And, and this one commercial for like some like, uh, Dreno kind of ask thing came on. And it
happened to repeat like three times. And I was like, dude, how many times are they we're gonna run
this commercial? He's like, wait, no, don't say that. At least it's not a political ad.
But speaking of TV commercials, I'm watching ABC World News here today. And I'm telling you,
I'm not kidding. Every single commercial was for a pill or a drug. You know what's really funny,
though? I'm going to point this out because I think it's worth, um, really understanding is that
I have sold one political ad, um, one for this season. Okay. I hope that's going to change. We'll
see what happens. I believe in a lot here. But like, I know, but doesn't that tell you something about,
where people think the audience is because there was a, there was research done that a lot of people
do turn off the news. And so they're not investing in that format. Now, I knew that was going to
happen because I've been seeing this slow slide for a while. So I pivoted and we did some fund
raising. We did some grant making and things all that. But that tells me a, that's not where they
think their audience is. Right. And so that is really unfortunate for me as a business owner who
owns a news website because I've got to fund this stuff. But that is a really big problem.
No, it's true. All right. It's 721 Denise Lockwood,
Racine County, I is with me today. Give some of some of the things on your list here. You say,
Uber is giving a 50% discount. They people looking for rights on the polls. I was just, that was
struck me as odd. Like, but I get it. But I think that's really interesting. And like,
they're being nice. NFL is really stumping for voting. And it's all, all hands are decked. So
it's not to say that people don't want you to exercise your, your right to vote because they
certainly do. They're, yeah, it's, it's everywhere. You can't escape it. This information now,
the Republicans will say the Democrats are all full of this information everywhere they go.
The Democrats use the Republicans. You don't know who's right and who's wrong. You don't know.
Well, and that's one of the things we're actually strong journalism would actually be super helpful.
Yeah, but people watching Fox will swear the Democrats are the demons. Yeah, people watching
MSNBC will swear the Republicans. No, I thought the real stuff like the real meat potatoes.
Oh, okay, the actual issues. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I mean, there's a novel idea with talk about issues.
So you go to Racine County, I'll get the truth. That's I'm hoping really hard for the people to get
the truth there. And so like, so like, here's an example, like this morning, one of our top stories
is about a little baby Raymond school. And they're, they're facing a referendum of $3 million.
But there's some really deep-seated issues around how they got there as far as what the board
was doing, what they knew, what they didn't know. I have a really impersonal hard time with the idea
that they didn't know that they were face going to face the 700 and actually, I think it's like
$679,000 shortfall. You know, that's a big deal when you're talking of $5.5 million budget,
but it's also got ties to the larger context of the mom's for Liberty agenda. And so,
you know, if you want a playbook or a real case scenario of what happens when we kind of tap out,
this is this is one of the other reasons why I say this is not a normal election, friends.
I have never in 25, almost 26 years of being a journalist been told to open records request a
budget ever. And I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that because local journalism has
not been able to show up at these meetings consistently, that is a massive problem. And so,
when we started showing up and we got open records request, literally the, the superintendent who had
left Raymond School in December of 2023 was working on the 23 24 budget in February of 24
to turn it into DPI. Okay. And the reason why we know that is through open records requests,
the reason why we know that is because we were able to really kind of dig underneath the problems.
And so, there are some deep seated issues with how these school boards are understanding what
their role is in a fiduciary responsibility to say what you're spending and how you're spending it
and being accountable to that process. Let's jump down to predictions right here.
What are your predictions? We got a lot to be in the election.
Okay. Hold on. Let me write this down. I know. It's a record site. You're like, you're like
the horoscope. This is something we'll happen. Okay. So, there will be a
presentation. Yeah, there's going to be maybe that's maybe that's something that's not so obvious.
There will be an election. Well, and I think that I doubt very seriously that it's going to be
decided on election night because you have a massive number of early voting. You've got mail-in voting.
By the way, mail-in voting has been happening since 1992. There are a lot of checks and balances.
I talked to Wendy Christensen, the RISC in County clerk, about how she's feeling about things
and she's very confident in having a free and fair election. With that said, I also know that
there are going to be a lot of observers. I also know there is going to be observers
observing the observers. So, it's going to be crazy. And it's going to be I, you know,
honestly, at the end of the day, I hope that we are going to be okay.
Because we're not mentally, we are having a hard time processing shared knowledge of common
understanding of problem and looking through lens of solutions. I think we have a hard time
getting beyond the sound bites and the spoon-fed drip campaign of, you know, what we're hearing.
And it's hard, but I hope that families can heal. I hope that families can come together and
really have productive conversations. And one of the things that we've been doing
is we had election literacy stories. We've been doing election literacy stories
and holding events around election literacy for the last couple of months. And then we also
have coffee with candidates. We had, and those are really been fascinating, but it's we're doing
all of the work that we're trying to do, right? I think we're going to have to get through election
fog because that's going to take me a few days. Now, I've got to get you back here because you
have good opinions on this and you have more insight than a lot of people have into it.
So we're going to get you back here right after the election.
Sounds good. Not the day after, but.
No, give me a couple of days and give me lots of coffee.
Yeah. Do you want this coffee?
I know. I love it.
I never drank it. I never tasted coffee in my life.
I know. Is it that good?
Oh, it is. We have that good.
Is that dairy creamer you put in there?
That's it. That's it all.
And the sugar.
The hazelnut.
Yeah.
