Ben Meiselas 0:03
Donald Trump just got a rude awakening, not just in the size of those No Kings protests, by the way, what I just showed you at the outset was in Madison, Wisconsin's No Kings protests, more on that in a moment, but the latest Gallup poll measuring voter ID. was just released and since the history of Gallup measuring voter ID, never before have the Republicans been so low and Democrats surging ahead so high. Let's take a look at the Gallup voter ID poll that was just released. Folks, it is a plus 10 Democrat advantage in voter ID. This is the largest ever recorded party ID advantage that Dems have had in any quarter since Gallup started tracking this back in the first quarter of 2015, and Republicans have never fallen below 40, and right now they are at 39, and they are sinking even more.
Ben Meiselas 1:02
Just look right here at this graph. You can see in Gallup's quarterly partisan affiliation poll on this chart right here, you can see Democrats surging,

What are the implications of the current voter ID trends for Republicans?

Ben Meiselas 1:13
And you can see Republicans tanking. And that's like a straight line down right now. You see the Republicans taking, you know, I'm just reminded also getting into this mess with Donald Trump's fraudulent promises. I'm going to do this. We'll make things affordable on day one and all of the gimmicks. that have now been utterly exposed. Donald Trump's in a disastrous and catastrophic war in Iran that continues to escalate. Prices continue to surge, gas prices, prices of groceries. People can't afford rent. People are psychologically tortured living paycheck to paycheck here if they're lucky enough to get a paycheck. Healthcare is being ripped away from people in the United States, in places like Wisconsin and all states across this country.

Why is the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race significant?

Ben Meiselas 1:56
Here's what Donald Trump did in Wisconsin. Remember this stunt where he dressed as like a garbage man on October 30th, 2024? Like, I'm taking the garbage out. And like the corporate media was like, look, he's doing the garbage man stunt. And we were calling this out. We're like, he's going to destroy the United States. Here, play this clip just to remind you of what went down. Play this clip.

As I think about Wisconsin and I think about the midterms, I think it's important that we also remember that there are a lot of races that are taking place before the midterms. Supreme Court, state races critical. Remember back on April 1st of 2025, when now Supreme Court Justice Susan Crawford went on to defeat the MAGA Republican Brad Schimel, who was backed by Elon Musk. Remember Trump and Musk threw all that money into Wisconsin to try to crush now the Justice Susan Crawford, and she went on to prevail. We had her on multiple times on the Midas Touch podcast. I just want to remind you quickly of her win. This was from April 1, 2025, when Trump and Musk threw everything at her and she prevailed.

Ben Meiselas 3:39
I wanted to show you that because Wisconsin, which is being absolutely under severe attack by the Trump regime, they have a critical Supreme Court race that is set to take place on April 7th. And this race is critical to expand the pro-democracy coalition's four to three majority. There are going to be like four other races kind of thereafter in the coming weeks. months and time, but this one's April 7th, early voting is right now. And so I wanna introduce you to someone by the name of Judge Chris Taylor. She served at basically every level of government. I mean, first she started off as a lawyer for Planned Parenthood. She's been a state legislature. legislator. She's been a trial court judge, a court of appeals judge, and she's really representing the pro-democracy ticket in this race for a Supreme Court justice seat that's now open on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Ben Meiselas 4:35
So right now it's a four to three pro-democracy majority. It's critical that Wisconsin expand that and not take any of this for granted.
