It’s No Joke: Be A Voter Today with Pat Kreitlow (Hour 1)

From

the EIB Tower, excellence in broadcasting network.

Here, high atop the tower behind the golden microphone with talent on loan from God.

Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.

Happy Tuesday, everybody.

It is election day here across the state of Wisconsin, starting off with Zomers, a little unmasking.

The revealing of a two and a half year plan to teach you Democrats and the Democrat Party a lesson.

How in reality Robin Voss is actually controlling the state government of Wisconsin as you people Pursue your social agendas and What I want to start off with today Before we bring on one of those liberal Democrats is what you people seem not to get that the real enemies here are not Donald Trump

It's not the Republican Party.

It's not MAGA.

It's not Putin.

The real enemies of this country in Wisconsin are Canadians.

The people to the north who have been plotting to take over this country for years, but you people do not realize it.

Why?

Because you continue to listen to the Democrat Party and listen to social Marxists and put Canadian syrup on your pancakes.

I mean, you people, you don't realize right here in Wisconsin, right here in the United States, in Wisconsin, we have maple syrup?

In Vermont, for God's sake, there's maple syrup.

But still, you continue to drink the Marxist socialist maple syrup agenda from the Canadians.

True dough.

The Canadian maple syrup's turning the freaking kids gay.

Well, and that's true.

Zomberous has a point.

we'd have less homosexuals in this country if they had less maple syrup from Canada and you people need to be taught a point here that you need to start drinking and using American maple syrup and one more thing that I hope you people listen and I want you to get real close to your radios get very close because I'm only going to say this once to the Neanderthal headed Democrats out there

Listen to me when I say this to you people, doing conservative right wing radio is effortless and enormously easy.

And one more thing, April Fools.

April Fools.

You see how easy that look and I'll add I'll add quickly doing left-wing screaming radio is equally as easy and now bringing on a serious host my friend my colleague a host of up to use radio pack right low happy April 1st Patrick

well first off Bravo second off how dare you how dare you

I heard that music and felt things that I haven't felt for so long and all I can say in response is one of my favorite social media posts that makes the rounds says, you ever hear about Rush Limbaugh anymore today?

No, you don't because he did nothing.

He achieved nothing.

He was nothing and he has already been forgotten.

Now, you know what?

I'll disagree with you on that with all due respect.

I think that the though where we find ourselves in today's social media and and the way that the magas have been able to infiltrate media, it was started, in my opinion, by a large by a rush in the 80s and 90s.

And that unfortunately is his legacy.

And that's very much alive.

Yeah, that that part of his professional legacy.

But there's nothing about him as a man.

There's nothing about him as a person that ever had any redeeming social value.

And I don't miss him whatsoever, but now I will never ever hear you without realizing the similarities in the tone and texture and the timber of your voice.

Then there is to one of the most.

obnoxious and dangerous sloths ever to infect American airwaves.

But my

point in doing this pad is is a little fun.

Number one, you have to be able to laugh at yourself.

But number two,

it was very

talented that that how easy I mean, think about the amount of time that people like you and I'm not here to to play on horn

if

only if only.

But the point is if if.

If you guys like you and I and gals like Jay Matt and others who actually put in time and research and try to bring people the truth, try to bring people accurate information.

If we didn't have to spend that time in researching and just come in every day and do what I just did to start the show, which is bellow and entertain and not care about the facts, think how easy our lives would be.

I

know.

And to learn something, nothing new.

To learn nothing new as a result of it.

And so I'll tell the story that when that guy was first coming on the scene and when a guy called Charlie Sykes was coming on the scene in Milwaukee and Mark Belling.

And I was living in Milwaukee at the time.

Sherry was going to the medical college there.

And I had just gotten out of radio.

Uh, which reminds me, let me remind me some other time to tell you the Ernie Von Schledorn story.

Ernie Von

Schledorn,

who do you know wants to buy an election?

Um, yeah, I'll, I'll tell that some other time.

But anyway, I was no longer in.

All I could tell you while working at my office job was listening to these guys and the negativity and everything.

And I said, well, that'll never work.

Nobody's nobody's going to buy into that.

I said, turning on

WTMJ AM and listening to Gus Konorsky with household tips.

And I miss, I miss him to his, to this day.

He was a good, genuine, you know, a broadcaster.

And people said, no, I would rather respond to this.

So I'm not, I'm not afraid to admit the things that I was wrong about, but thankfully for me, my values and my taste were not among them.

Yeah, it's a great point I mean I was somebody who grew up with rush as a former Republican and a media guy and Zomers I listened to about 20 minutes of one of his earlier shows what was it Zomers?

1991 something like that and and and if you take away the lack of accuracy in much of the information Yeah, but but it was it didn't it can be enormously just a funny and entertaining because it's so over-the-top and that's what made him so popular and the fact that he didn't rush Limbaugh ever take himself

too seriously, he kind of tried to bring the audience in along with the joke.

And that's what endeared him.

And let's be honest, you know, he started out radio with the Kansas City Royals.

He was not a bad broadcaster, just his voice, his cadence, his tenor.

I mean, all of that stuff connected with an audience.

And again, that was the start of what we now know to be this streaming of MAGA and conservative radio.

In other words, imagine if all of all of that.

if you want to call it talent, had gone into putting forward a show every day that talked about real American values of honesty and inclusivity.

and real patriotism and real policy, we might have a lot less of that fake Christian nationalism that we see out there now.

But instead, I mean, he was kind of the, he was kind of the Sodom and Gomorrah of, you know, the worst of broadcasting.

these days.

That's the best line of the week so

far.

Had I been faster on my feet, I have a little prop here.

Oh, yeah.

I would have grabbed this earlier, this very busted iPhone with a very busted screen.

Let's see if I can get that just right.

Very busted screen and say, look what you made me do.

Look what you made me do to my phone.

Beat it against the counter.

Yes.

No, instead it was one of my wife's work phone and it dropped and it shattered.

And I've been through an ordeal this morning trying

to

get this replaced and saying and them saying, well, you have to get the information off of it first.

Well, I can't because the screen doesn't work anymore.

You can touch it all day long.

Screen doesn't work.

So they will go to this Mac store and they'll they'll wipe it clean.

And they're like, we don't know how to do that.

You can't touch the screen.

It doesn't work.

They said, go to Best Buy.

So I went to Best Buy.

The geek there was like, no, we can't.

We can't do that.

So I take him back to the phone company.

And they're like, oh, well, that's basically.

You know, we can't help you then because you need to get into this thing to turn off like the find my location

device or

whatever.

I'm like, if I can't get into it, nobody can.

There's no security list risk with this anymore.

It is a brick, a very small, thin brick.

Oh,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry,

Pat.

No, that's okay.

And I come back from that frustration to hear something on my radio that just, just.

brought back the worst of the excesses of radio memories from

the 80s.

Sorry I triggered you and

probably others

as well, but there was a point to it that what you're hearing on on these these podcasts like Joe Rogan and and what's a bucks and sexton and whatever the heck it's called a conservative radio I mean it's not serious and quite frankly it's extraordinarily easy to do.

Yes.

I mean, you just you just come on and bellow and yell and and whatever.

And again, to

my point, there are there are things in my opinion on the progressive channel on serious XM.

They're not exactly my cup of tea because there are people on the left that do the same thing.

Yes, I fully agree.

There, you know, you know, darn well that there were people in our state capital

that

as a legislator, I said, there are Republicans that that I wish I could work more closely with them.

And there are a couple of Democrats I wish I could push in front of a bus.

which I'm only admitting now because

it was

metaphorically, and I've said it, so I can't deny that I said it, but because again, it was so easy for those folks to basically just punch a clock, you know, and say, oh, I came in, I said all these things on the far, far left, and now I'm going home.

I'm not gonna help the moderates, you know, raise any money so that Democrats could, you know, win a majority back in the legislature.

I just came to do my piece, collect my check, and go home.

So, no, it's, there is,

There's an intellectual laziness that comes with extremism.

It's a lot harder when you actually don't know all the answers, but you're willing to work with others to find

them.

Agreed.

Let's go quickly to the phone line, 855-752-4842.

We're going for summers up to beautiful San Francisco.

David in San Francisco, if you'd be quick, please go ahead, David.

Oh, hey Todd, yeah, I was just going to lay out.

You know how Elon is cutting apart all of these different programs?

Well, if there were any businessmen in the audience, they would know that the first year startup for any kind of company is the most expensive.

And for Elon to rip apart some of the biggest agencies of the US government

He's basically saying that the Health and Human Services is going to have to triple their budget just to break even to start over again, or the Defense Department, or the, you know, pick an agency.

He's setting it up so that we're going to have to start over again.

Yep, we're up against the clock, David.

I appreciate the call.

Come back, talk to Pat Crite Low about Elon Musk being in Green Bay.

And yes, there is an election today.

A very important one.

We'll get to that.

More calls as well as the title of our show right here on the Civic Media.

Radio

Network!

Welcome back to the Tonal Bowl show on the Civic Media radio network.

Alright, the joke's gone far enough.

We don't want to get kicked off the air somers.

21 past the hour of 12 noon.

Yes, it is April Fool's Day, April 1st, 2025.

We opened up with, uh, some people were a little, uh, what?

Yes, I was doing a try to do a poor version of the old Rush Limbaugh show and making the point that conservative radio misinformation is enormously easy to do.

Even a goofball like me to do it can do it.

So if you want to listen to actual programming that's thoughtful and researched and brings you the truth, tune in every morning Monday through Friday 6 until.

8 a.m.

6 until 9 no 6 until 8 a.m.

I'm this 8.

It's 8.

Is that it?

All right.

I just I get confused I can only do there's only so much of me man.

Oh, come on Pat We want more.

It's like the goal.

It's like Wisconsin the hockey one two.

We want more

I

Know exactly for right now Pat Cradle every morning six until eight on the Civic Media radio network with up north news radio It is thoughtful radio.

It is accurate radio

It is truthful radio, and you might learn something along the way every morning as well.

You will learn something.

Remember what?

I was going to

say, you

went

with Rush Limbaugh,

then you went to Bill Cosby.

I know.

You got a real rogues gallery going on over here.

Todd is getting canceled today.

Yes.

Wouldn't be the first

time.

All right, let's go quickly to the phone lines if you could keep it.

Brief, please, because yes, there is an election today.

I want Pat to weigh in on that.

Very, very important polls are open until 8 p.m.

Let's go quickly to Brian in Milwaukee on WAUK.

Brian, if you can make it brief, please.

What do you have?

Yeah, I just want to say that if you did vote absentee, go to myvotewi.gov and make sure that they received your ballot.

For example, my ballot took almost a week to arrive.

It didn't arrive until March 25th and I did not get it confirmed until March 26th.

So if you go online and they have not received the ballot and it's not confirmed online today, you can still go in person and vote.

All right, very good.

Appreciate that, Brian.

Also, like Xamarin's, I voted early on Friday.

There are instances where that takes a while for the computers to catch up.

So, you know, don't be too alarmed if it doesn't show up today.

It'll get there.

Our voting is safe and secure in Wisconsin, and our people at the polls are our heroes and do great work.

855-752-4842.

Los Angeles, California, the West Coast, we go.

Tom and L.A., if you could keep it brief, please.

Tom, what do you have?

Absolutely.

First off, we the people ultimately have a government and we must never forget it.

If Republicans in power are spewing it, you can bet they're doing it.

Rush Limbaugh, I didn't ever listen to him, but I did hear him a couple of times.

And, you know, his main goal was get rid of the new deal, rid of the FDR's new deal.

And I think he's been pretty successful through his radio antics of being able to do that.

We hear about waste, fraud and abuse a lot from the conservatives.

You know what waste is?

Waste is spending over $100 million on a Supreme Court race in Wisconsin.

That's waste.

And we need to get money out of politics and we need to vote Susan Crawford into the judgeship so we can get money out of politics.

If you are in favor of money and politics, vote for the BS candidate.

If you are...

oppose the money in politics, vote for Susan Crawford.

Thanks, Tom.

I appreciate it.

I would argue, Pat, you could weigh in not that we're here to do a whole segment on Rush, but I would say the Rushland bus number one priority was to make money for Rush.

Oh,

yeah.

Well, that was

one priority.

Yes.

You know, everything else was, you know, a bit of some sort.

I mean,

it's a business and he'd be the first to tell you that it was a business and it was a business AM radio that was languishing until the right kind of shock jock came along.

It was Howard Stern for FM stations.

It was Rush Limbaugh for AM stations and in neither instance would I say our radios in our society is better for it but you know business is what it is and Rush Limbaugh was good for the business of you know those of us who yanked for a

living.

Elon Musk in Green Bay over the weekend, give it out checks.

What do you make of this race, Pat?

Again, for those that might not know, you spent a term in the Wisconsin State Senate, your longtime broadcaster from the Chippewa Valley area in Wisconsin here.

You know this stuff very well.

What do you make of this election today for Supreme Court?

And what should people be watching as we cover this after eight o'clock tonight with the polls closed?

The main thing that you wish you could watch for because, you know, you don't get instant breakdowns of exit polling and things like that.

But for

for Elon Musk to win and I guess Brad Shimmel by extension would mean that a lot of people who show up for presidential elections to vote for somebody like Donald Trump will show up for an April election.

Now the conventional wisdom says that you know that they won't that they're presidential only but

I happen to believe that the Trump base is as energized as it's ever been.

I've always said, for every election, Republicans turn out, too many moderates make excuses, not to go, oh, the weather's not looking good or whatever the case may be.

They don't have nearly the rabid feeling of pressing need, or someone to call it patriotism, as those on the right.

So really, for me, it's about

turnout, turnout in the weather, people who didn't turn out in November, for example, because they were so turned off at that point already.

Well, they're certainly turned off by this race.

And so if I can say one thing to motivate those folks, it would be this.

As I said this morning, if you don't like the way this campaign went, if you thought it got ugly and negative, and Elon Musk wins because of it, what do you think every other election after this is going to look like?

The only, this is the only place to put a stop for it, a stop to it all.

It's right here, right now.

Totally agree and and after the bottom of the hour here, we're gonna dissect do a reality check as some of the people in TV business like to say on a radio ad that Trump is running right now, which is filled with lies and unfortunately I'm told that I know that we were and you know, you've been in broadcast broadcasting Pat So when these candidates give TV or radio stations ads we are obligated

to

run

this

under the law and you can't

Ask it to be changed unless it's like inciting, directly inciting violence.

Am I correct on that?

Yes.

So that's why it's running right now on civic media.

But hey, we can still do a reality check.

On and it may take a while because it turns out Pat there's not

a lot of truth in

that

and that's the thing You talk about how easy it is do to you know spew stuff from the right because it always fits on a bumper sticker You know no illegals, you know or something like that you want to give a thoughtful immigration policy You want to break down a lie about immigration?

It's gonna take longer than a bumper sticker and people's attention spans don't tend to get there so we need people who can Speak the truth, but at the same time also be

amazingly entertaining in the process.

And there's my commercial for the Todd Alba show.

Weekday afternoons from noon to two across the Civic Media radio network.

Well, thank

you, I was going to say that's the Pat Crichtlow show of North News Radio every morning from six until eight.

Oh, stop.

Pat, we appreciate you so much.

By the way, great new, we didn't even get to your new bookcase behind you.

It's lovely.

I didn't

even

injure myself too much.

All right, we'll talk to you later, Pat.

Thank you so much.

Stay tuned.

Farm report is next.

And then yes, we'll dissect the Trump ad and also talk immigration and why it pertains to today's election.

on the afternoon.

Doing truth wherever if they lead and having fun doing it Welcome back to time of all show on the civic media already network 34 minutes now past hour of 12 noon on this Tuesday April 1st Don't be pranked by jokesters like Todd.

It's April 1st 2025 That was that was fun Thomas.

It was fun.

Yes, it was very fun

We open the show a little joke today

the point of it whether it's a point the point of it is to just to show people how easy it is to do uninformed right wing conservative talk radio where you just shout and scream and whatever and as we talked to quite low a Democrat there are certain shows on on the left that do the same thing what's difficult is to actually do research and bring people the truth that

Is is sussed out.

That's not based in just trying to gin people up And that's what we attempt to do every day on the show is what quite low attempts to do every day on his show up north news radio and others and That's the purpose of why we come to you today and on this election day April 1st and that is no joke and the implications of what could happen What will happen?

after eight o'clock tonight is no joke.

On the ballot, several things, check your local listings for times, as we say, but all of us will be voting on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court to date.

Susan Crawford, a balanced law and order candidate who has sworn to adhere to the Wisconsin and U.S.

Constitution, and Brad Schimmel, who has sworn to uphold Donald Trump.

That's the facts.

That's just that's not Todd making it up.

I get it.

I held up earlier.

I got it down here in my backpack.

I have a piece of literature from the Schimmel campaign with Donald Trump's picture on it.

That's what they're saying.

Not what I'm saying.

I don't think that's justice.

So I voted early and voted for Susan Crawford.

Voting is open today.

Polls are open until 8 p.m.

If you're

If you're able to, do it sooner rather than later because weather across much of Wisconsin could get dicey as the afternoon and early evening goes on.

Some places will start with rain, others ice, others snow.

So just go out and vote.

Remember you can register Wisconsin, you can register at the polls.

Same day registration.

What you will need is a legal ID and that includes a current

Valid not expired Wisconsin driver's license a valid not expired Wisconsin ID card a Valid not expired United States passport or United States Valid military ID

And then also, if you're going to register at the polls, you have to take along a proof of residency, which could be a paper, electric bill, utility bill, cell phone bill, or it could be on your cell phone.

If you get those bills electronically, but it has your name and address on it that match up, you can use that as well.

It also needs your account number.

So if you're taking a screenshot of it, make sure that's available just in case they need to check, then they can.

All right.

Very

good.

I appreciate that.

Remember, if you're in, if you do choose to wait,

If you're in line tonight and it hits eight o'clock, stay there.

Under Wisconsin law, you are entitled to vote if you are in line by eight o'clock at the polls.

8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2.

Let's go to Mark from prayer to sack.

Mark, thanks for waiting.

Let's say you.

Yeah, I'm surprised the Republicans aren't screaming for changing our state tree from the maple, sugar maple, to something else because we got, you know, the maple is assembled there.

But it's just, you know, it's getting crazier and crazier all the time.

I mean, that little Trump, thank God, that's what we've been playing like one day.

That's the first time I heard of this just today on civic media.

That Trump ad, and I just turned my stomach as my stomach is turned every time I take a look at Donald Trump.

And the old Rush Limbaugh, let's remember Rush Limbaugh, his big thing is he hated

Oh, Mr. Rogers, because Mr. Rogers was talking about being nice to each other.

He didn't like that idea at all.

You know, in Moscow saying today that empathy is a big problem that we have today, and how they can tie Christianity to that is just beyond me, because the message of Jesus primarily gave us is empathy, and these guys just don't have it in their souls.

I mean, it's just bad news.

We had to confront him and, you know, studio, studio, adulterer, marriage guy, you know, Robin Boss on wave number four.

I mean, I'd be even calling an annulment to us actually had having been a marriage because he tried to, he tried to finagle that.

So he would, you know, that, well, one of them was an annulment.

So that doesn't really count.

Well, I call PS on that and hopefully things will go our way.

appreciate the call mark.

Thanks for thanks for calling and always appreciate your listenership 855-752-4842 855-752-4842.

Remember to go to myvote.wi.gov to find your polling place near you.

Again, myvote.wi.gov polls are open to eight.

One of our listeners just called in and shared that she was able to vote using an ID that expired a couple days ago.

I guess you can use an ID if it has expired after the most recent federal election.

However, if you have something that's not expired, that would obviously be preferred.

It makes it less likely to cause any problems down the line if that wall were to change.

I mean, I appreciate the caller.

And yes, if you have nothing else, I guess go.

Just realize it may depend on your polling place.

I mean, some people may ask you to cast what's called a provisional ballot, which basically means it only counts if it's... I'm putting this in layman terms, not legal terms, but it's going to take longer for that ballot to be cured.

It's a legal term, which means counted.

So if you do have a valid, non-expired ID,

Please use that.

But if you have nothing else, then to the caller's point, that may work keyword may.

So be aware of that.

I want to we've got a lot of texts and contacts.

Mark talked about this, this ad that is running right now on civic media.

And I mentioned this to our owner and CEO Sage Wild right before the show.

And he said, yeah, let's talk about it because.

I think a lot of people are saying, why would civic media put an ad on from Donald Trump that is filled with lies?

Well, to Crite Low's point earlier and just to reiterate that legally, we and any other broadcasting network or station are obligated under law to accept this.

And there are nuanced provisions where we can ask for them to redo it in this case.

If it directly says to go out and hurt someone, like pound the crap out of Democrats, we could make them redo that.

Or if it has, you know, curse words and stuff.

Right.

A non-FCC compliant word.

But beyond that, we are obligated to run these ads.

And that's a whole other kettle of fish and why we should get more money out of get money out of politics and that.

But we're running for what we have here.

But what they can't prevent us from doing the campaigns is doing something that broadcast networks call a reality check.

So we're going to play this ad and we're going to stop it and we're going to fact check it here.

This is an ad bought and paid for by Brad Schimmel's campaign on this network and others.

And here we go.

A message from President Trump himself.

We're just days away from the most important election happening in your state this year.

The race for Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday, April 1st.

And I'm asking

that

everyone.

That part's true.

It is a very important race and it is today, April 1st.

Go.

that everyone get out and vote for a wonderful American patriot, a tough on crime judge, Brad Schimmel.

Brad Schimmel is a champion of the rule of law.

He stands for fair and impartial justice and will always back to blue.

He's always back to blue.

Stop right there.

That part, as they say in news business, needs more clarification.

As a talk show host, I'll say it's BS.

It's complete lie.

We've talked on this show numerous times.

that the January 6th not all but many of the January 6th insurrectionists that attacked the capital illegally and entered beat cops law enforcement agencies agents One of them at least or there are several but one in particular a guy from Pulaski confessed and Posted on his own social media that he pepper spray bear sprayed bear sprayed

cops on January 6th.

He was tried by a jury of his peers, found guilty and sentenced to prison by a federal judge.

Brad Schimmel on Vicky McKenna's conservative talk radio, speaking of people that spew lies, said, do we have the cut summers?

All right, very good.

Here's what Schimmel said about beating cops.

The same thing for these January 6th defendants who were all prosecuted in the Washington DC district, which is overwhelmingly liberal.

This part of the manipulation

is to go

to districts like that.

They would never take their prosecution in a district where you had a fair shot as a defendant.

Didn't think they had a fair shot.

Later on, he says that the January 6th insurrectionists that beat cops got, quote, a raw deal, unquote.

Brad Schimmel does not, in fact, back the blue.

And that is a lie.

It is untrue.

Go.

Brad served as a prosecutor for over 25 years and locked up gang members, drug dealers, and human traffickers,

the kind of people.

Stop right there.

Locked up drug gang members?

Really?

Because I would think if that were true that he would have really put that up front in his own hands.

Hey Look at this trend of log water, whatever gang member that I put behind prison in Wisconsin.

Have it.

I don't know anything about that.

Haven't seen that We'll classify that as needs more clarification go because the kind

of people that they Let into our country if you support law and order in Wisconsin Brad Schemel is the one to do it.

I mean he is just an outstanding person

Let into our country Let into what what does Trump mean there the kind of people that they quote let into our country unquote if People were let into the country.

They were vetted if people came here undocumented.

That's a different deal and Again Brad Jimmel from his own mouth has said that he does not support law and order.

He does not support

law enforcement because he believes that the January 6 insurrectionists who beat the 11 crap out of law enforcement and caused several of them to die by suicide, that they, the people that beat the cops, that they got a raw deal.

Go.

I've never heard Susan Crawford once say that she opposed voter ID.

Has it commented on it that I know?

That's a lie.

Or shall we say, needs more clarification.

Go.

Trample on our Constitution is endorsed by socialist Bernie Sanders.

It's so important to get out and vote for Brad Schimmel.

I'm Brad Schimmel, paid for by Schimmel for justice.

I should have stopped it earlier when he referred to Judge Crawford as a lunatic.

As a lunatic.

Uh, that's a flay has a flagrant foul a flagrant to ejection in my opinion

a deranged lunatic nonetheless

Right, right.

Thank you a deranged lunatic So as you can see in that what is a 30 second ad it's a minute.

Oh, it's a minute In a one minute ad Donald Trump lies repeatedly about Brad Schimmel his qualifications and lies about judge Susan Crawford

And again, the reason there is a committee here at Civic Media, which I'm on, and also the non-candidate, in other words, ads that are not purchased by candidates directly by political action committees, we have more purview.

And so we have a committee here at Civic who listens to all the ads that come in, and then we vote.

Does this meet our standards of our company?

And on those ads, we can send them back.

And we have, there's don't hold me the exact number, three, four, five, somewhere between three and five ads.

Over the last year and a half.

We've had this committee that we have sent back and they have been changed But when it's a an ad from a candidate We are required to carry it And yes, it's public record.

I'll say it $13,000 that that ad that you heard When Zomers and I collect our check from Civic Media in two weeks or a week and a half $13,000

will be put into our account.

But my point is that Civic is making 13 grand on this.

Buy.

So I think we need to be fair and clear and transparent about that.

That's in our mission statement for our company.

Doesn't mean we like it.

But that's why our company is investing in community and taking that money from Elon Musk and investing in our community and put people like me on the air to tell you the truth.

Back after this in the Civic Media Beauty Network.

Pursuing truth, wherever it may lead, and having fun doing it.

Welcome back to the title ball show of the Civic Media Running Network.

So it's me listening for that also a what's worse in our number two and Hope to get to talking a little bit more about these folks who were swept up

And these raids by Trump's ice and sent to El Salvador to these awful they call them prisons is essentially dog kennels for humans and Why now even somebody people on the right are calling some of these most egregious things out and guess what?

the Trump administration says We can't get him back and why that actually matters

To this election today for Supreme Court justice speaking of I want to bring you a cut That was brought to my attention this morning.

This has been out there a while It is from 2018 All right Where Brad Schimmel was giving a speech it appears to a rotary club And he's bragging I want to play this for you so you know your choice today Take away all the policy stuff

Listen to this at Brad Schimmel's own words and ask yourself, is that the kind of person that you want on the Wisconsin Supreme Court?

This is Brad Schimmel from 2018 talking to a group of Rotarians about disciplining his child and what a kick he got out of acting like a prosecutor against her.

And she reminded me of a story that I cannot deny.

We had picked up our oldest Mackenzie at a friend's house and There'd been a fib.

I don't know what the fib was anymore But she had told a fib about something and she was denying that she had fibbed so this car ride home I'm gonna get her on the witness stand.

So she's in the backseat.

I adjusted the mirror so I'm looking right at her and she's looking right at me and every time she looks away I said look at me and

I don't think I looked at the road the whole way.

And I got her back there and I'm grilling her about this and I'm rebutting every fib she piles on the fib.

And I got a Perry Mason moment right there in my car.

She broke down.

I did it.

I did it.

I did it.

And I won my trial.

She is a next witness.

You know, rest my case.

Well, she's in the backseat.

She is just crying miserably.

My wife's looking at me like I'm a monster.

And I was proud of myself.

I just beat up on it.

She's probably eight.

I just beat I just psychologically beat the daylights out of an eight year old in the backseat.

That was

Brad Simmel for the speech in 2018.

His own wife.

looked at him in his words like a monster, like he was a monster, saying he was proud to essentially verbally assault his own child to the point where she broke down.

If that's the kind of person you think belongs on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, then go to the polls today and vote for Brad Schimmel.

If it's not, then don't vote for Susan Crawford, a jurist.

Who is tough on crime?

A jurist who does back the blue and law and order a jurist who swears to the Wisconsin and United States Constitution and Not to a person and certainly not to Donald Trump Polls are open until 8 p.m.

Tonight Go to my Wisconsin vote.

Pardon me my vote dot wi dot gov my vote

W I dot GOV to find your polling place near you You can register at the polls make sure you bring along a photo ID a driver's license a state ID card a passport or Military ID.

I believe tribal IDs work as well, but don't quote me on that one Bring if you're registering make sure you bring along a Proof of residency a phone bill life bill electric bill

You can also use electronic version and register at the polls.

Don't be that person.

Don't be the person who wakes up tomorrow and your candidate didn't win.

And you say, I was just so busy, I didn't think it would count.

Every vote's gonna count and just raise you guys.

I promise you that.

If I come on the air tomorrow and it's a blowout,

One way or the other, I'll apologize to you.

But everything that I'm seeing, everything that people are telling me, they're a lot smarter about me, this race is going to be enormously close tonight for Supreme Court.

Also for Department of Public Instruction.

Also on this referendum.

Again, I voted no on it.

My guess is it will pass.

It's unneeded.

Wisconsin already requires an ID to vote.

There's also local referendum, school board, city council.

The way that government democracy and liberty die is when we do nothing.

People have died for our right to vote.

Go do it today.

Polls are open until 8 tonight.

Myvote.wi.gov.

Come on back.

Hour number two is next after a news, weather and sports update.

A chance to win a trip to Chula Vista Resort in the Delves after this on the Allball Show.
