Within the Battleground State, Racine is a Battleground County for the second time in a week of ice presidential candidate spoke at Memorial Hall.
Senator JD Vance took his turn last night and pushed back against criticism of a New York Trump rally Sunday.
I'm not worried that a joke that a comedian who has no affiliation with Donald Trump's campaign told that a lot of people are going to wake up and say, oh, we're not going to vote for Donald Trump now.
We're going to look past the fact that we can't afford groceries because somebody made a joke that we don't like.
Governor Tim Walls was in Racine last week and was in Waukesha yesterday.
There, he met with former Republican Mayor Sean Riley, who's endorsed the Harris-Waltz ticket.

The Bucks Losing Boston.
Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with Sports, NBA.
The Bucks Losing to the Celtics 119-108.
Milwaukee now owing two on this road trip.
They lost three in a row. Damien Lillard.
It's definitely frustrating.
You know, because what we do, what we're supposed to do, you see what the first game looked like and then.
And moments of the last two games, you see what we do, what the game looks like.
So it's definitely frustrating.
I just think it's one of those things right now where you've got to usually have to stay in the fight.
The Bucks play in Memphis Thursday.
College football, Badgers head coach Luke Fickle.
On reviewing the loss to Penn State over the weekend.
You know, it was tough.
But as you look back at it, you know, the thing that it comes down to is execution and execution in the fourth quarter.
And it make them plays.
The Badgers play the Hawkeyes in Iowa Saturday night.
The NFL Network reporting an MRI showed no serious damage for Jordan Love and that groin injury.
Could he play Sunday against the Lions?
Yeah, if he can go, he'll go.
So we'll see where he's at by the end of the week.
But if we feel like he can't protect himself, then we certainly wouldn't put him in that position.
That's Matlow Floor with sports.
I'm Mike Clemens.
On your entertainment beat, I'm Pete Schwabba.
Then the last dance led the way at the U.S. Box Office last weekend, taking in 51 million.
But it was still a bit of a disappointment.
The final chapter of the Venom trilogy, starring Tom Hardy, was tracking to the tune of a much bigger showing at the box office.
The studio was hoping it pulled in an additional 20 million bucks.
Partial blame can go to the World Series, but not all of it, according to prognosticators.
No reason to shed tears for Sony as the film is performing well overseas.
Coming in second was Smile 2 with just over 9 million, but a 60% drop off after opening weekend.
A little more than you'd like.
The Wild Robot took in over 6 million in its fifth weekend in theaters.
Outperforming Smile 2 and The Wild Robot on a per-screen average was newcomer Con Clay,
which received rave reviews and came in fourth place, despite a limited release compared to other films.
Rounding out the top five was the Andrew Garfield Florence Puehled romance we live in time,
which was expanded to more theaters last weekend.
Scary movie releases are winding down folks.
John Oliver's comedic takes on current events our top notch.
If you want a sample size and a good laugh, check out his and Will Ferrell's funny parody of Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA.
Oliver, an immigrant himself, had to take a test to become a citizen and then listen to Greenwood's song
during his citizenship ceremony and thought new U.S. citizens deserved better.
When he found out Greenwood charges the U.S. government $700 a year to use this song, it rubbed him the wrong way.
So he is offering the new Will Ferrell version to the government for $700 and $1.
Seems like a sensible price.
Who with Thurman and Anthony Hopkins are teaming up with another up-and-coming actress Phoebe Deniver for a forbidden love story called The Housekeeper.
The film will be set in England at Hopkins characters vast estate with Thurman playing a housekeeper falling for a young woman and author
who is visiting.
It sounds quite steamy because Thurman and Deniver are both very attractive and even more so because there is no mention of Anthony Hopkins doing a love scene.
Matthew Perry died over a year ago but the story is still very much in the news.
Variety reports that Perry's family is taking legal action against the doctors and those who supplied him with ketamine.
Perry's mother and stepfather and three siblings appeared on the Today Show with Savannah Guthrie and discussed the pending 2025 trial against two of the parties that supplied the drugs to Perry.
Charges were brought after a joint LAPD DEA investigation into Perry's death.
What could possibly be more fun than a Timothy Shalamet look alike contest in New York City?
How about Timothy Shalamet actually crashing the party?
The actor showed up in Cognito at first to a sea of young men who looked similar and surprised everybody when he removed sunglasses and a mask then posed for selfies with contestants.
The contest was promoted by the use of flyers over the last few weeks.
The winner was to receive a $50 prize.
Seems kind of lame. In case you're wondering, the actual Timothy Shalamet took third place.
From our show, it's fun.
Tune into night light with me, Peshwaba.
