Welcome back to Matt Nair on Air, Jane Matt Nair, Greg Bock and Sweet Kelby on the board.

Coming to you from our home radio park here in Racine, you can always join us call or text the number is the same eight five five seven five two four eight four two that's eight five five seven five civic or leave a comment if you're watching on the live stream on Facebook YouTube and the platform job of the Musk hates that we continue to call Twitter just a reminder early voting is underway. So go cast your ballot otherwise make a plan for November 5th. We're only 12 days away.

Only 12 days to go folks. We can do this. All gas no breaks. We got this. My favorite I ask of you is try and stay focused and stay away from all the negativity. Yes, stay away from standing friends. America integrity polling project, which just got formed last week. Yeah, stay away from the polls and just try and stay positive.

Not even your favorite news outlet knows everything right now. Those those votes are being banked. They are being stored. They will be released counted, tallied on Tuesday. If not Wednesday of that week. Just stay positive. Stay positive. And there are still things to do. You can still knock on doors. You can still canvas. You can still phone bank. You can still share what you know with people in your circle. Yes, share what you know about.

What's at stake on this for for this election, including the constitutional amendment. That's going to be on the ballot for Wisconsin for November 5th. They want to change one word. They want to change it from every US citizen can vote to only US citizens can vote. That already exists. Only US citizens can vote.

But this is a way to open the door to narrowing that definition. Yeah, yeah, and make it even more difficult. Instead of easier for people to exercise their right to vote. So I will be voting no.

Really quick here, just a exclusive published on civic media by Dan Schaeffer, Robert Cowell State Senator from Green Bay Republican endorsing Kamala Harris. Another one just seeing more and more and more. What does that say to you people?

It seems like a good it seems like a good sign. It seems like a good sign. But again, 12 days to go stay focused. Stay positive and make sure you share what you know. All right, it is 1154. That means it is time for this shouldn't be a thing.

Today's this shouldn't be a thing. Visit North Korea edition found by Calvin. If you ever have a thing that shouldn't be sent it into Greg and me at Jane says at civic media. US Calvin, which a good.

Yeah, so this has been over the course of a few months. I've come stumbled across several tick tocks featuring people that appear to be in North Korea.

Americans Americans yes Americans that appear to be in North Korea. And they have captions like that the American government's line to North Korea is a great place to live like they're paying for my apartment and I have included health care and

like child care is included in all this like very deliberate propaganda. And I will admit to being a little bit of a boomer on this, I guess.

I never made it to the end of all these slides. So I never realized they were selling something. I just thought they were.

They were apparently so I found this article. It's from a sub stack by someone named Taylor, the rent she wrote the tick tockers are spreading North Korean propaganda to sell supplements.

So apparently. And this is where it comes in where I feel like a boomer apparently leave these Americans in the photos of the Americans in North Korea or AI generated which seems so obvious to me now but never even crossed my mind.

And they all seem to lead to at the end, then promoting a certain brand of supplement and it's a liposomal night could tie a dime.

Rolls right off the town and AD plus. I mean, so this is a magical supplement. Yes, apparently and apparently the author in the sub stack article, um,

talk to some marketing people and they're assuming it's just like engagement bait is why they used North Korea, but it's extremely odd.

Well, unless North Korea and Kim Jong Un has started this big push for people to move there. I just I mean, so here's the weird thing that's not weird.

Is that I could see Kim Jong Un saying, bring me a few Americans. Let them live the life.

Pay for their housing. Pay for their like, I could see him doing that just to stick a finger in the eye of America. Look, they're happy. Why are you so upset with us? We live a great life. I've been telling my dad, my grandfather has been telling you this for decades. Well,

if you decide to visit North Korea, just let us know how it goes when you get back. I mean, I don't want to I don't want him to like discourage travel or yuck anyone's young, but don't go there. I'd be careful about

going there. And that, uh, that wraps up today's edition of this shouldn't be a thing. We're always interested in things that should not be. So send them in to Jane says at civic media. US J. A. N. E.

S. A. Y. S. Jane says at civic media. US Dan Schaffer will be with us tomorrow at 11 o'clock for some recombobulation. We'll see how he is feeling as we are getting closer and closer to election day 12 days away.
