Well, the institutions like unions, the teachers union, for example, you know, you have... Did we lose Charlie for a second here? Yeah, he just stepped away for a second. You have the teachers union. I mean, you have a lot of people in a lot of places who are already assembled. Our side has to assemble these people. You have to prepare. You have to hire them. They have to have jobs.

Like, you can't just... snatch people out of thin air and be like oh quit whatever job you're working in and come do this they have to have a job full-time doing this again this is where the unions maximize right they have a full-time job and they go oh you can take the next three months off and go campaign Yeah, we'll pay you. And you get basically double dipping.

And you get basically double dipping.
You get your normal salary, you get your time off, and then you get the C4, the nonprofit money that they'll throw at you to go do this work and chase votes. And our side, again, this is where we're screaming from the rooftops is if you want to break that threshold, if you want to break through, you're not going to have Trump on the ballot each time that makes it easier to do that.

And that's where we got so lucky this last election. We were lucky because it was easy to get people to go give money to help support Trump and then to help go chase votes for Trump. It's a much tougher uphill climb, uphill battle with a relatively unknown candidate. And again... Brad Schimmel is awesome. He was he's he is an incredible dude, legit, easy to work for all that stuff.

But people just don't know him. Right. And so they're not going to just abandon their livelihoods to go do something for six months or a year or three months or two weeks. Uh, so we had a, we have an incredible team that's been on the ground and in Wisconsin, you know, give or take about 200 people who are working at or nearly full time.

Uh, so we had a, we have an incredible team that's been on the ground and in Wisconsin, you know, give or take about 200 people who are working at or nearly full time.
And then thousands of people who were going in, you need about for this race to close the gap on what's there. That's in addition to what's been done. You need another 500 full-time people to be on the ground. We just did that math, but then you need about 10 times the amount of volunteers, right? About 5,000 volunteers. We just pulled this today.

We had about 4,000 people that were helping in some capacity across Wisconsin. That wasn't enough. You need more. And again, there's not a historic nature of activism within Wisconsin in conservative politics. You got to build that. Um, and so that's got to keep growing and keep moving towards, I mean, we're looking at Dane County here. 21% is, you know, your, your, your floor for Brad Schimmel.

He's hanging on by a thread, but this Waukesha number, Oh, Ozaukee County just flipped, uh, That's true. Yep. Which is good. But this Waukesha number isn't where it needs to be. We got to get that has to be at like 62, 63 percent and holding and which which is where he was. And it's really interesting because some of these other votes that came in were not super favorable to Brad Schimel.

So we'll keep looking at this and keep keep an eye on it. And this is Brad. So we'll keep talking while we're here as we're looking at these results that are coming in. Oh, and we just got another dump here. It looks like things have stayed pretty much even trending still about one hundred twenty thousand ballots down. So you got to start figuring out where can those come from?
