Across Wisconsin on the Civic Media Radio Network.
and streaming worldwide on the Syracuse Media app.
Good afternoon, everybody.
I'm Todd Albault along with the fantastic Mr. Aaron Zommers on the board.
It is six past the hour of 12 noon on this Monday, March 31st, 2025, back to work, back to school.
Glad to have you along from our world headquarters here in downtown Madison, Wisconsin.
Mr. Zommers, happy Monday to you.
How the heck was your weekend?
But it was
Good for you.
Good for you.
I got out, took a little walk, my friend Kristen, my former colleague at LL Bean, both outdoors people.
And we walked from downtown all the way out to picnic point.
It was a lovely Saturday morning, had some coffee, chilled out.
And then I worked on the show a little bit, watched some basketball.
Many of us, our brackets are busted.
Uh, the Michigan State was my team to win it all.
They're gone.
And for the first time, I think in like 15 years, all four number one seeds in the tournament are in the final four next weekend.
So congratulations to all of them who won.
Let's see if I can do it off the top of my head.
Auburn and Florida, Duke and Houston are all in the final four next weekend.
So looking forward to that.
Also Daniel Freitag, big recruit for Greg Guard, the Wisconsin Badgers a year ago from Minnesota, forced to recruit announced this morning he is in the transfer portal, in the portal.
Not a surprise to me, nor is it unexpected, he just did not get a lot of time this year.
The guard position or the point guard position was going to open up for him this year, but
apparently is assigned to go elsewhere.
Badgers appear to be building now around John Blackwell and Nolan Winter, who are kind of the key people have already said for the Badgers, they'll come back.
So we'll see this basketball news this morning.
We'll talk Milwaukee Brewers for those watching on the stream on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube.
I have my Milwaukee Brewers, Bob Uker Jersey on today, my Milwaukee Brewers mug in my hot little hands.
And the Brewers kick off the home opener this afternoon.
right here on the Civic Media Radio Network 105 the tip-off tip-off same used to basketball 105 the first pitch you can hear the game over the air terrestrial radio as it's called on Richland Center Amory now in Hayward as well and Racine and Kenosha
I get them all.
Oh, and Oshkosh as well.
So that's everything.
So those stations will cut away here very shortly to to go to that pregame show.
Our show will remain on the stream on the Civic Media app and also well over the air over the non brewer stations as well and stick around.
Big, big show for you today coming up here a little bit in this hour at 20 after.
Judge Susan Crawford, candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Of course, the election is tomorrow.
Early voting is over, so if you missed that, I have my I voted sticker on.
Zommer's got, we voted together just like we told you we would after a Friday show right down the street here at the Madison Central Library for early voting in Madison.
Early voting over, so if you have not voted yet, you're gonna have to do so starting at 7 a.m.
tomorrow.
And it goes until eight o'clock tomorrow night.
Remember in Wisconsin, you can register at the polls on election day.
Lots of important things, not the least amongst them, the Supreme Court race, the superintendent for department of public instruction, statewide referenda, and local races as well.
So be a voter.
If you have not voted, vote tomorrow.
Of course, Civic Media will have complete coverage starting at eight o'clock tomorrow night.
Our friend and colleague political editor Dan Schaefer will be here on the anchor desk with me and Zomers in the booth as always in our great fleet of Civic Media news folks around the state bringing you a reaction from across the state at the many watch parties by the candidates as well.
So Susan Crawford will be here today at 12.20.
And then also at 106.
Big zombers.
Rarely do we get this kind of a guess all in one day.
Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez on the show at 106 today.
She will be in as well talking about the spring election and what's going on in terms of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor's office as they approach the new biennial budget with the state legislature.
And then at 130 if you're feeling out of sorts for a Monday.
Have we got a cure for you?
The founder of the Reconpopulation area, our chief political editor here at Civic Media, our very own Dan Schaefer, will be sitting here right next to me in the studio today to talk about this referenda coming up, which has gotten not a lot of play.
We'll explain why, why it's probably going to pass, why I at least believe it shouldn't, and we're gonna do a crossover today.
That means there's no dressing involved, by the way, in a crossover show.
But there is.
What you do is you start the show, you start a block on one person's show, and you end it on the next.
So Dan Schaefer is going to be here for our show, the last half hour at 1.30.
And then Dan, the next hour at 2 o'clock, he's filling in for John and Gordy in the afternoon, who's filling in for Maggie Dawn, who's on vacation.
Oh, will she?
All right, very good.
So anyway, Schaefer is filling in for John Gordy, who's filling in for Maggie, and I'll be on that show.
And let me tell you, Dan Schaefer has a star-studded group of people coming up at the 2 o'clock show, with Ari Berman, is amongst Angela Lange, Ben Wickler, and then you got me.
So I'm just there to make cocktails for people.
You've
today.
It's a stocked four hours of radio, you understand.
And also, in amongst that, if that wasn't enough, you say, Todd, one, two, three, we want more.
Just like a UW hockey game, we've got more for you.
In this show today, we are going to wedge in and sneak in a couple of giveaways.
And in the one o'clock hour, our break into spring text-to-win contest giveaway, today, we're giving away
a vacation, an overnight stay, as they say, at the beautiful Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin-Dells.
So we'll give that away in the one o'clock hour.
And also, in this hour, we are going to give away two tickets for this Friday night for the new movie...
Well, not so new anymore, but still a great movie, the documentary called Just A Bit Outside.
The story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers.
Of course, it debuted in Waukesha last year.
It has gotten a 100% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
It is now out on DVD and on Friday.
Very excited about this.
On Friday sitting here in this studio at this desk Kelly Call and Sean Hannish the producers and director respectively of the movie just a bit outside The show is sold out as far as I saw last time the theaters sold out for Friday But and this is very important because people get salty.
Well, why did Todd get tickets for his show?
I bought the tickets myself
There is no civic media money involved.
This is right out of Todd's bank account because I love you, the viewing and listening audience.
It's my little gift to you.
So stay tuned this hour.
And Zomers, have we got that clip of Yooker singing?
Now listen to this because listen to what I'm gonna play right now.
Here we go.
Here's Yooker from a few years back singing, Take Me Out to the Ballpark during the seventh inning stretch down at Wrigley Field at the Cubs game.
All
right.
So not now, not now, but be listening this hour.
And the next time you hear this being played, the next time we play it, all right, turn it off, Savers.
Next time we play it, we're going to take caller number eight, not now, not now, we'll tell you when.
But when you hear that music or that cut of Euker singing, take me out to the ball game again, caller number eight will win two tickets to just a bit outside the story of the Milwaukee Brewers movie in Madison is being shown at the UW Madison campus as part of the Wisconsin Film Festival.
So make sure you could go Friday Evening Zomers.
If you could look it up, please.
I believe it's 7 p.m.
on Friday night.
Make sure you could go if you call in and win.
And we will, as Zomers and I are going, we'll see you there.
Why number eight?
Well, I'll turn it around.
Here you go for those watching on the, on the old stream.
Euker's original number.
There it is.
That's a Bob Euker's number when he was a player.
So that'll be the eight.
So when you hear Euker singing again, be caller number eight.
Not now, but when you hear the music played, Zomers.
And it looks like it is 530.
530 okay.
I'm good.
See all right good.
Good.
We mentioned that I forgot so five make sure it's early So make sure you can get off work because we don't want to give these tickets away and then not have you show up I'll be and we'll have your name and email and phone numbers.
I'll be very upset So make sure you can be there 530 on Friday when you hear us play that later this hour You curse saying take me out to the ballgame be caller number eight.
I'll give you the number But don't call now the number to call later
is 8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2.
8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2.
Don't call now for those tickets, but only the next time you hear the Milwaukee Brewers or take me off to the ballgame being sung by Bob Euker.
All right, let's get to this quickly.
Gonna have Judge Susan Crawford on next.
Big race coming up tomorrow, April 1st for the Supreme Court race.
In Green Bay last night, pseudo-essential president in the United States, Elon Musk was in Green Bay giving away $2 million plus to people who paid $100 to sign this petition for allegedly being against what he calls activist judges, unquote.
And if you don't think there is an agenda,
Listen to Elon Musk in his own words when some yahoo last night in Green Bay at this thing talks about ending the Federal Reserve.
Here it is last night
America for the idiots you have to deal with for what you're doing for us to improve our country Second of all my question is what is your opinion on the Federal Reserve?
And do you have any intentions of doing anything with them and the
fit?
Yeah
I don't know I always wanted to say that you know But but I mean I think there's like 20,000 people at work at the Fed seems pretty high It's like there's a lot of people who work the Fed honest things like why do we have so many people at this at the Fed and what do they do and You know sometimes I wonder which one would win I'm you know the federal for interest rates the Federal the board of the Federal Reserve or a magic eight ball And I'm like I think the magic eight ball my win, you know
So then I'm like, well, Magic April is a lot cheaper.
So, you know, it's like you shake it, it says, check back again later.
I'm like, OK.
Same thing.
All right, let's get off there, Zabers, for now.
But there are his own words, Elon Musk last night in Green Bay campaigning for Brad Shibble, saying that he wants to end the Federal Reserve.
If you don't know what that is,
It's the central banking system for the United States.
Since he, why not just use a magic eight, eight ball to make those decisions?
You don't think there's a lot of the line for tomorrow?
Come on back.
We'll be talking to Judge Susan Crawford, one of the two candidates on the ballot tomorrow.
It's the title ball show for Monday on the Civic Media Ready
truth or ever it may lead and having fun doing it.
Welcome back to the town of all show on the civic media.
We're glad to have you along.
21 now past the hour of 12 noon on this Monday, March 31st, 2025.
Big election tomorrow, no joking, no fooling, even though it is April 1st tomorrow.
Big election tomorrow, lots of things on the ballot.
I would argue probably the most important consequential is that for Supreme Court of Wisconsin.
Joining us now via phone, we appreciate our taking the time to do so, is one of the two candidates for Wisconsin State Supreme Court.
Judge Susan Crawford joins us via the phone.
Judge, good afternoon, and thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule.
Right up front because we don't pull punches on this show.
I want to be clear that I'm a former Republican I no longer belong to any particular party, but I have talked on this show and you can't see it because you're on phone and I'm on stream yard here and I Zomers and I both have our I voted stickers who went and voted early on Friday want to be clear with everybody I did vote for you on Friday We have also extended on this network and on this show the opportunity for Judge Shibble Brad Shibble to be on this
program as well.
Oddly enough, he has not taken this up on that, but I want to be clearly the groundwork up front, but we're glad to have you along.
Yesterday in Green Bay, Elon Musk was there giving away two million dollar checks and campaigning for your opponent, Brad Shimmel.
We played the cut right before he came on, Judge, of Elon Musk telling somebody from the audience a question that he was in favor of ending the Federal Reserve.
and seemingly only half jokingly saying he thought a magic eight ball could do the same thing.
For those that don't know, the Federal Reserve is the central banking system of the United States.
To my knowledge, there's nobody campaigning on your behalf that's suggesting that we end the banking system of the United States.
Is that correct?
Yeah, it's beyond bizarre but unfortunately there are very serious consequences to the election tomorrow and I bring this up because and again, I'm not a member of any political party and as a former
You know, political operative, I'll say, ran a lot of campaigns.
I'm pretty tough on people on both sides.
And I have to tell you that watching the debate with Brad Schimmel, I thought you did a stellar job.
I thought you were the alpha candidate.
You answered you answer the question directly.
And I want you to talk about this right now on this show because I think this is one of the things that people should vote on tomorrow is who is going to interpret the law as it's written and call balls and strikes because my former party used to be in favor of that.
A question was asked by the moderators at your debate of give us an example of when you made a decision from the bench.
that some of your supporters might not have liked.
If you can give us an encapsulated version of that, I think this is instructive.
Yeah,
So I talked about a case in which there was a legal challenge to some legislation that was enacted after Brad Schimel and Scott Walker both lost reelection in 2018 in that lame duck period.
So the legislature, you know, very
strong majority Republican legislature stripped the Attorney General's office of most of its powers, or much of its powers.
And there were legal challenges brought.
One of the cases involved was in my court, and it had to do with the Attorney General's ability to settle cases.
And the legislature said, nope, we now have the authority to settle cases.
You've got to bring it to us.
So, you know, just from a policy perspective, I thought that was a pretty raw deal that this authority that the Attorney General had had for literally decades suddenly was too much since the office was switching hands and there was a Democrat coming into the Attorney General's office.
But I upheld most of that law when it was in my courtroom.
There was a piece of it that I said in certain categories of cases.
This is a separation of powers problem.
But for the rest of it, I said the legislature has the authority to do this,
even though
I thought that was a great example of the kind of judge you've been, and one of my former bosses used to say, Todd, if you want an indication of someone's future performance, look at their past performance.
And when it came down to it, you basically, I'll put it in layman's terms, you supported Robin Vossen and the Republicans in the legislature over Tony Evers in a lot of that decision.
Even though you might not have liked it, you interpreted the law the way you thought it should be.
Now I'm having my hot little hands here, a door knocker that was left on my dad and stepmom's door in Shawna, Wisconsin, has Donald Trump's
picture on it says President Trump is winning for our country and it says liberal judges across the country are trying to stop him vote April 1st for your it says your opponent my point is here's a guy who is campaigning to uphold Donald Trump's agenda again compare that to you I don't know the I don't I haven't seen anywhere where you're trying to support Joe Biden Kamel Harris or anyone else's agenda
It's not the role of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court should not be promoting anyone's partisan agenda.
And unfortunately, Brad Stimmel has been saying that he wants to be part of Trump's support network on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
He misunderstands the role of the courts.
Another indication that people want to know voting tomorrow for a Supreme Court justice.
Over the weekend, we don't have time, we get into it, but essentially,
Elon Musk gave away two million dollars.
Josh Call, Democratic Attorney General of Wisconsin, went to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to try to stop it.
That case originally went to your court, random assignment.
You could have ruled on it, but you recused yourself.
That's right.
It's you know the case was just too close to home I'm very you know I'm a candidate in the race Elon Musk clearly was coming to the state to campaign for Brad Schimel even though Brad Schimel won't admit that and he was giving away those millions of dollars in an effort to try to buy votes for Brad Schimel I felt that was not a case that I could be fair and impartial
is sitting on.
So I did immediately recuse myself.
One minute left, Judge Crawford.
I'll give it to you.
Give us your one minute pitch to voters in Wisconsin for tomorrow.
So I'm running to interpret our laws and Constitution to protect the rights of Wisconsinites.
That is what they're for.
I'm not going to be pushing any kind of a partisan agenda.
That's the other guy.
That's what he wants to do.
So if you want to make sure we still have a Supreme Court in Wisconsin on Tuesday nights and not an arm of the Trump administration, I ask people to vote for me.
I really appreciate it.
About 30 or 20 seconds left.
Just really quickly.
How's your family doing?
I thought too fast.
No, it's fine.
I mean, how's your family doing?
These things are never fun for family people.
I can only imagine.
Thank you so much for taking the time.
Be safe on the campaign trail.
Good luck tomorrow.
And thank you for spending time with us, Judge Susan Crawford.
truth wherever if they lead and having fun doing it welcome back the title ball show on the civic media ready network 34 now past the hour of 12 noon on Monday March 31st 2025 Zomers on the board glad to have you along with us here to kick off your week big day for those watching on the stream Facebook Twitter YouTube wherever you find us have my Milwaukee Brewers Jersey on today the Milwaukee Brewers mug in my hot hands
Watch you on the screen here next to us.
Locally, Channel 3 is showing the brewers today, so they're doing a big pregame show down there.
You can hear the pregame right now on select civic media stations over the air.
We cannot stream the brewers because of major league baseball, but you can hear it over the air as they call it terrestrial radio, i.e.
on your car, your truck, your van, your kitchen radio, your bathroom radio.
Wherever you might have a radio, you can hear the Brewers right now in the pregame show in Richland Center, in Amory, now in Hayward as well.
Homo musky what are there musky?
What's that now?
I forget musky?
What I want to think is the FM station up there.
I think so that we now own but it's not it's not a musky It's on the buzz of the north WBZ H. That's where you can find the Brewers over the air up there also on racing Kenosha and Ash gosh by gosh WISS over the air on all those stations where the Brewers will air this year and We'll be giving away tickets throughout the year to the some of those games as well and this hour
At some point this hour, when you hear Bob Euker, the late great Bob Euker singing, take me out to the ball game from a time down in Chicago and you hear that next this hour, be caller number eight.
Don't call now, but I'll give you the number 855-752.
4842-855-752-4842.
Don't call now, but when you hear Bob Euker singing, take me out to the ballpark, be caller number eight then.
And if you are, you will join Zomeras and I and a cast of thousands or at least hundreds this Friday at 5.30 for a screening.
of just a bit outside the story that 1982 Milwaukee Brewers at the University of Wisconsin Madison campus as part of the Wisconsin Film Festival.
So make sure that you can attend Friday night at 5.30 in Madison, giving two tickets away next time you hear Eukersing take me out to the ballgame.
Many thanks to Judge Susan Crawford for taking time on the campaign trail to come on the show.
I think she's done a great job, really.
I mean, the campaign, you know, it's first time statewide race campaign, maybe got off to a little bit of a slow start, but I think she's done gangbusters since then and really been the most honest candidate in my opinion.
And I forgot to mention last segment, when I was asking her about that one debate she had with Brad Schimmel, she answered all the questions.
When they asked her, you don't give an example of a decision from the bench where your supporters might not have agreed with you.
And she gave that answer that, hey, when Evers got elected and beat Scott Walker, the Republicans in the legislature changed a bunch of the rules basically of how the governor could conduct his business.
And she didn't agree with those rules, but it came before her court and she ruled in accordance to the law against what her personal beliefs were of whether she liked it or not.
But she found by and large for the Republicans,
because as much as it was sneaky and underhanded, it wasn't, in her opinion, illegal.
I think that's the sign of exactly the type of person that we want on the bench is someone who will rule the way the law reads and not for a political agenda.
And also, she recused herself this weekend.
She could have ruled on that case against Elon Musk from her own Dane County bench.
And she said, no, no, no.
this ain't fair because it affects
Yeah, absolutely.
And the important point of that first of her story during the debate, giving it an example of where she ruled.
in a way that many of our supporters would have disagreed.
They asked Brad Schimmel to do the same thing, and he took a powder, pass.
Nope, can't, geez, nothing comes to mind.
I can't think of anything.
Now, if you can't think of a time as a judge when you ruled against your political partisan base,
You might be a puppet of your political partisan base And the irony as someone who used to be a Republican that that party used to say oh we want judges who Basically are not Legislating from the bench.
They're gonna rule the way that the law is written the legislature writes the laws the governor the executive signs them or vetoes them and the Judicial branch interprets those laws
That's the kind of judge Susan Crawford has been on the bench in the circuit court.
And that to me is the best indicator of how she will be a judge on the Supreme Court.
So if you're a rule of law candidate, and by the way we didn't even get into again the fact that Brad Schimmel, he's the guy that said he thought the January 6 protestors insurrectionists
who attacked law enforcement and Capitol Police, some of whom are right here from Wisconsin, who used pepper spray on cops.
Brad Shimmel thinks that those people, in his words, not mine, quote, got a raw deal, unquote.
And is perfectly supportive of the January 6th pardons given out by Donald Trump.
Susan Crawford?
Not so much.
She thinks that the district the DC courts did their job and supports the rulings that put those people who attacked law enforcement in jail This is gonna be really close folks Everybody that I talked to you from Trigvielson to others who know the numbers who see modeling numbers who understand this stuff much better than I do Tell me that
This is within the margin of error.
It is all going to come down to turnout.
Some polls show that Brad Schimmel might be up a point going into tomorrow, but it's within the margin of error.
So it comes down to you.
And look, the weather is supposed to be getting nastier tomorrow afternoon and much of much of Wisconsin.
If you have not voted early already, like Zomers and I.
Have a plan to vote in the morning if you can Some parts of Wisconsin the weather could start getting rainy and then even icy and snowy by the time the polls closed tomorrow at 8 so get your vote in early and look I Don't I was gonna say I don't care.
I do care but regardless for this way regardless of who you vote for tomorrow vote I'm not someone telling if you don't agree with me guess what
I still want you to vote because that's your right as an American citizen.
People have fought and died for that.
Don't let them down.
Go exercise your right, regardless of who you're voting for tomorrow.
On April 1st, you can register at the polls.
Make sure you have a legal form of ID.
It cannot be expired.
That is key.
Well, I got a state ID or a driver's license or a passport.
It's expired, but that should do.
No, no, no, it won't.
You can use a US passport.
You can use a Wisconsin issued ID, a Wisconsin issued driver's license, and a military ID.
Register at the polls if you need to.
For more information, you can go to myvote.wi.gov.
Myvote.wi.gov.
to find out the polling place close to you.
Polls open at 7 a.m.
and go until 8 p.m.
If you're still in line when the polls close, stay there.
It is your legal right as long as you're in line by 8 o'clock tomorrow, you still get to vote.
But don't put it off.
Weather's gonna be dicey.
Vote in the morning, if at all possible.
855-752-4842.
Los Angeles, California.
LA Tom.
LA, thanks for calling.
What's up?
Yeah, first, um, I believe in my heart that Wisconsinites don't like cheaters and that they don't like BS.
And, um, oh, it just so happens that Brad Schimel's initials are BS, um, just like Brian Styles.
Um, so when you're going to the polls and you see that name,
It's telling you exactly who they are.
Also, which is very, very important, I think, for the country, this election is really going to show us this big money and dark money work.
And it's also going to scare if it does work and Wisconsinites don't show up, it's going to show why Republicans actually are a little bit fearful of losing their position because of
campaign contributions.
Also, it's going to show that Democrats to be afraid of the big money,
may start making deals with the corporations and people like this.
So if you're a person that really and truly is against money and politics, like I said before, this is the Republicans sandbox, and we just have to play in it, unfortunately.
But we have really got to decide about money and politics.
And if one person can basically buy an election, I think that's really, really important.
So if you're a person that's against money and politics, then vote for Susan Crawford.
Thanks.
Because even though she's had to play in the sandbox, she really doesn't believe in getting money out of politics.
Thanks, Ellie.
Appreciate it.
Be safe out there today.
And very impressive, by the way, Susan Crawford.
Very impressive candidate.
But the way she's campaigned
done grassroots, can talk normally like normal person, and has stayed traditional in not aligning herself directly with, you know, any Democratic president.
I don't see any of her literature like I've got right here next to me, shimmel literature, that's aligned directly and saying he will defend Donald Trump.
That's not who Susan Crawford is.
L.A.
is right.
Vote for the rule of law vote for someone who's going to interpret the Constitution the law as it is written Susan Crawford 46 minutes now past the hour of 12 noon making headlines of the weekend yesterday and I get it Much of what's out there.
It's like is this real is this not I Want to start something we're gonna finish it.
We come back here in a couple of minutes headline Trump won't rule out
seeking a third term in the White House tells NBC News, quote, there are methods, unquote, for doing so.
President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment.
Saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there are methods for doing so and clarifying that he was, quote,
Not joking, unquote.
Trump said, quote, a lot of people want me to do it.
But I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go.
You know, it's very early in the administration, unquote.
A little bit later, he said to Kristen Welker of NBC, quote, I'm focused on the current, unquote.
Trump added in some of his most extensive comments to date about serving in the third term.
When asked whether he wanted another term, the president responded, quote, I like working, unquote.
When asked to clarify, Trump said, quote, I'm not joking.
But I'm not, you know, it's far too early to think about it, unquote.
I'm not joking.
Now look, I get distractions, but here's the thing that Trig V. Olsen has taught us.
on this show.
As he put together his seven rules for dealing with authoritarians, who has dealt with the authoritarians and gone up against them in Eastern Europe.
Authoritarians always telegraph what they're going to do.
They don't hide it.
They tell you.
And when we come back, I'm going to explain why there's already a game plan for this to happen.
It has already happened.
There is a pathway.
an example of how Trump does this.
And not to scare the bejesus out of you, but it's already underway.
This is not a red herring.
He is actually considering, and there are plans in the works for Trump to attempt an end run around to get a third term.
Come back take your phone calls as well.
Don't go anywhere.
It's the Todd all balls show right here for a Monday on the civic media Radio network

The incomparable, the immortal Bob Uker, saying, take me out to the ball game at Wrigley Field.
Did you like how he, you know, when he got to the party, he goes, I'll root, root, root for the brewers.
You do the same for the cubs.
I mean, it was, and he got a lot of heat when he did that.
A lot of Chicago media said, oh, that was disrespectful to Harry Carey.

Harry would have thought it was funny.
And I think he's right.
I think he's absolutely right.
All right.
Well, we said earlier when you heard that song being sung by the late great Bob Euker who died earlier this year.
It'll be weird today.
Home opener, first time in 50 plus years not having Euker the microphone, but I'm sure Jeff Levering and Lane Grindel will do a great job at many of our Brewer stations.
But we said when you heard that,

Any particular memories of, are you old enough to remember the 82 brewers or was that before your time?
No, I was old enough to remember, but quite young.

Chris in Sun Prairie, our big winner this hour for those two tickets for just a bit outside the story of the Milwaukee Brewers.
It's a great film.
Available right now on DVD.
You can order it on Amazon and on Friday.
Gonna have some very exciting news for you if you're a streamer.
When it's coming to streaming and where Kelly Call and Sean Hannish, the two producers and director respectively of the movie are gonna be sitting right beside me talking about this movie.
It's part of the Wisconsin Film Festival.
Again, last I checked, just a bit outside was sold out, but keep checking.
Who knows?
And maybe they can open up some other avenues of tickets for you, but it's a really great film.
And it's particularly great on this day, the home opener of the Milwaukee Brewers.
So not a lot of time left and and I'm gonna say this quickly because we have guests coming on next hour Lieutenant Governor Sarah Rodriguez Maybe we'll get into a little bit with Dan Schaefer at 130 But here's the deal quickly on Trump in a third term.
This is real in terms of it's not just all smoke and mirrors There's already legislation going on by members of Congress, but if you want the roadmap Look at El Salvador.
I never thought that all my knowledge of El Salvador would be this pertinent
But this guy naive bukele the populist dictator quote-unquote president down there in El Salvador It was in their constitution.
You could only run for one five-year term consecutively He went in using the military essentially as not direct force, but as a quote-unquote deterrent He got rid of some of the people on the Salvadoran Supreme Court put his own people in he attacked the press suppressed the press in opposition
And they changed because because we had this guy was doing so well We had to let Bukele have another consecutive term and he did it and it worked and Many of the same tactics attacking the press so pressing the White House Correspondents Press Association their big dinner every year when they have a comedian come in make fun of the president Guess what they dropped the comedian this year.
I forget her name.
I didn't know her because Trump didn't like her They are they are cowtowing to Trump
We're already seen attacks of the court.
We've talked about it on this show.
We're gonna continue to The grout if you think that Trump is making this up if you think this is a joke about him trying to get a third term you are mistaken my friend this is real and Trump's people are in close contact with Bukele's people in El Salvador and let me tell you folks they're jealous that that Bukele did it so eat the book Bukele didn't El Salvador is
He was smarter than Trump because he actually did a lot of good things for them.
He put people in jail.
He suspended habeas corpus and declared martial law to do it.
But guess what?
Lot less crime.
He fixed roads, infrastructure.
He took Chinese money to build a new library.
He's taking Chinese money to build a new stadium.
He truly is more of a populace.
Trump doesn't get that part of it.
But the groundwork is there, my friends.
And we have to talk about this, and we have to take it seriously.
And Trigvielson has put it down there and told us that authoritarians always tell us what they're going to do.
Have we got time quickly?
I've got a phone call.
No, we're out of time.
Up against the clock, as they say.
Big show today.
Stay tuned.
We're going to give away an overnight stay to Chula Vista next hour.
And Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin, Sarah Rodriguez, joins us.
Looking forward to that conversation.
And Dan Schaefer will recapobulate with us at the 130 hours.
The All Balls show right here on the Civic Media Radio
Network.
