Speaker 4 MAGA Republicans are not exactly coping well with their massive defeat in Wisconsin for the vacant Supreme Court seat.

Speaker 4 As we called the race last night, Judge Susan Crawford, the Democratic-aligned pro-democracy candidate, went on to defeat the MAGA Doge candidate, Brad Schimmel, who was propped up, Schimmel was, by tens of millions of MAGA Musk Doge money and in the entire MAGA machinery.

Speaker 4 The pro-democracy candidate Judge Crawford, a law and order, no nonsense judge, a former prosecutor, went on to win that critical race in the vacant Supreme Court seat, tipping the scales of the Supreme Court so that the Democrats will have control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Speaker 4 And it's a critical victory because, as I mentioned before, the gerrymandering cases before the court that the MAGA Republicans trying to unlawfully gerrymander Wisconsin will be as such that now you'll have, I think, a accurate map in Wisconsin, a real map, what it always should be.

Speaker 4 And I think that will also mean less seats for the MAGA Republican Congress members. So the MAGA Republicans trying to justify this loss after pouring all of their resources.

Speaker 4 And it's clearly a repudiation of Trump and Musk and Doge. But they're refusing to admit that.

Speaker 4 So they brought on CNN, MAGA Republican, former governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, who's just been an absolute disaster. And so he tries to say, this isn't about Musk.
It's not about his money.

Speaker 4 Can we talk about George Soros and J.D. Pritzker and Reid Hoffman? And it's like, what are you talking about? Those people didn't give anywhere near what the money that Elon Musk was doing.

Speaker 4 Elon Musk was handing out million-dollar checks to people and telling people, if you post photos of yourselves next to voting locations, but don't get too close because it may be illegal, that he would give you, just give you $20 or $100 or whatever.

Speaker 4 Many people talking about how Musk's voting pay-for-play scheme itself could potentially be criminal. Here's Scott Walker on CNN.
Watch this.

Speaker 6 So, do you think that was compelling?

Speaker 7 I think it's an interesting tactic. It's a little Solinsky-ish in the sense that you've got George Soros and J.D.

Speaker 7 Pritzker and Reed Hoffman and all these billionaires who've spent far more than Musk did in this and now pointing and say, well, wait a minute, he's not going to be able to do it.

Speaker 6 I don't think they spent on this they didn't.

Speaker 8 Well, collectively,

Speaker 7 if you look at all the money from outside that was given to her, again, 77% of it came from out of state, only 15% came from Schimmel. And collectively, a number of the analysis she showed.

Speaker 6 But I'm just saying, like, in terms of the money from

Speaker 7 the market, if you look at the whole outside money that came from out of the state, it's clearly

Speaker 6 on Musk at all, though?

Speaker 7 Oh, I think it had a part of it. I think a lot of different issues.

Speaker 4 Then you had all of the kind of right-wing panelists like Jennings on CNN. And, you know, he's like, you know, actually,

Speaker 4 I think the Schimmel campaign was really underfunded. And, you know, I think Elon Musk helped out.
I think Elon Musk gave this a boost. That's what happened.

Speaker 4 That's what the MAGA Republicans and their propaganda mouthpieces like Scott Jennings are saying right now here. Play this clip.

Speaker 8 Scott, do you think this in Wisconsin was referendum on Musk?

Speaker 9 Well, I could look at it from another direction. I think the Schimmel campaign was really struggling both financially and just in terms of traction before Musk got involved.
He may have actually.

Speaker 9 you know, given whatever boost he had late,

Speaker 9 but it didn't solve for the issue that the Republicans have, which is these low-propensity voters and trying to get them to turn out for things that are not Donald Trump.

Speaker 9 You heard Elon Musk, I think, correctly, try to tie a vote in the Supreme Court race to much larger, you know, macro-political issues, but it wasn't enough.

Speaker 9 And so

Speaker 9 that is an equation the Republicans have to solve for. I don't think it's going to be an issue in 28, but look, you got a midterm between now and then.

Speaker 9 It will be an issue in these midterms, and that's something the party strategists are going to have to deal with.

Speaker 4 And you had other MAGA Republicans on the panels last night saying, you know, the issue really was that this was a low turnout election.

Speaker 4 And because Republicans are the working class party now, you need to have more people turn out. Well, you're not the working class.
You're the party of the oligarchs. What are you talking about? Also,

Speaker 4 as it was pointed out in this clip, it was a high turnout election. How do you know a MAGA Republican's lying? They open up their mouth.

Speaker 5 Play the clip. Definitely wait.
You know what else matters?

Speaker 10 What else matters? Turnout patterns. Democrats today are the party of the hyper-educated and the elites and the wealthy.
They turn out more in small turnout elections.

Speaker 10 It's just a fact that Republicans are a working-class party now. We need massive turnout to win.
It flips political conventional wisdom on its head, but that's why we're turnout was high tonight.

Speaker 10 We're going to, we're going to,

Speaker 11 but I know what you're saying.

Speaker 10 Wisconsin turnout is typically better than most places, right? But it still was a spring election. It's still not presidential-level turnout.

Speaker 4 Now, I'll show you Brad Schimmel's concession speech. The mood was grim and sober.

Speaker 4 Brad Schimmel in his concession speech did not talk about psychologically torturing eight-year-olds. That's one of his kind of main talking points when he was going around the state.

Speaker 4 He talks about, I psychologically tortured my eight-year-old daughter. But here he is conceding.
Play this clip.

Speaker 12 Too bad.

Speaker 4 And we're not going to pull this off. So

Speaker 8 thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.

Speaker 4 Bye-bye, Brad. Bye-bye.
You know, Brad Schimmel dressed up as Donald Trump for Halloween.

Speaker 4 Brad Schimmel would go to those MAGA boat parties with like Trump t-shirts and be like, I love two things, Jesus and Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 Ridiculous. He was literally the Doge puppet.
Like, this guy would have destroyed Wisconsin. So it's fortunate the pro-democracy candidate went.
Here's another clip of Schimmel's concession.

Speaker 4 Play this clip.

Speaker 4 So when I set out on this journey,

Speaker 9 it wasn't what I wanted to do.

Speaker 5 I mean, all of you have heard me say this a thousand times.

Speaker 4 I didn't want to do this,

Speaker 8 but I knew it was important, and I knew I had to put my all in.

Speaker 4 Now, let me take you inside the room of Judge Susan Crawford.

Speaker 4 The mood there, of course, happy, relieved, excited. The fact that

Speaker 4 a big win for democracy there and a big win by the way for judge susan crawford and as she said this was about the richest man in the world this oligarch elon musk trying to buy the supreme court for all other oligarchs and she goes we won play this clip

Speaker 12 someone who watches out for people

Speaker 12 But I've got to tell you, as a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined that I'd be taking on the richest man in the world

Speaker 12 for justice in Wisconsin.

Speaker 13 And we won.

Speaker 4 Here, Judge Susan Crawford talks about how Wisconsin fended off this massive attack against democracy from these fascist forces. Play this clip.

Speaker 15 So today,

Speaker 12 Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy.

Speaker 12 Our fair elections and our Supreme Court. And Wisconsin's stood up and said loudly that justice does not have a price.
Our courts are not for sale.

Speaker 13 You know what's harder than deciding what to watch at night? Figuring out what to cook for dinner.

Speaker 13 You waste time scrolling through recipes, debating if you have all the ingredients, and before you know it, you've given up and made ramen again.

Speaker 13 That's why I love Home Chef. They take all the stress out of meal planning by delivering fresh ingredients and chef design recipes straight to your door.

Speaker 4 And then throughout the day as well,

Speaker 4 I guess the talking point that the MAGA Republicans get, you know, they get their, they get their talking points.

Speaker 4 Representative Brian Steele says, you know, you're talking about Elon.

Speaker 4 I don't know why I do that voice. He sounds nothing like that.

Speaker 4 But

Speaker 4 he goes, can we talk about soros please because soros is the one who poured millions of dollars in and it's like there's no comparison to what musk is doing than what other random liberal wealthy people are doing like musk is in a whole other league like what are you talking about and musk went there he wore the he wore the he wore the he wore the cheese on his he wore a cheese head in green bay

Speaker 4 Here, first play this clip of Brian Steele.

Speaker 5 But it shouldn't be lost on your viewers that George Soros has poured millions of dollars in and the Democratic governor of Illinois, the state to the south of Wisconsin, has also poured millions in.

Speaker 5 Why? Because the left wants to drive forward a radical agenda. In the state of Wisconsin, we're concerned about parental rights, school choice, voter integrity.

Speaker 5 And that is why in Wisconsin we're working so hard to get Brad Schimmel on the court.

Speaker 14 I looked at the numbers. When it comes to George Soros, he's donated $2 million to the Wisconsin State Democratic Party this cycle.
Just by comparison, you're looking at $19 million,

Speaker 14 more than $19 million for Elon Musk and affiliated groups. That's why I asked specifically about that.

Speaker 4 Dude, this was literally, this was literally Elon Musk over the weekend wearing the cheese head. Play this clip.

Speaker 16 Oh,

Speaker 4 can I play this for you? Rachel Maddow.

Speaker 4 I like the way we called it last night on the Midas Touch Network. As soon as the election was, the results were in, we were able to call it

Speaker 4 thanks to the decision headquarters as well. But Rachel Maddow did a great call.
This was the moment that Judge Susan Crawford won on Maddow. A hat tip to Rachel Maddow.
She's so great.

Speaker 4 Play this clue.

Speaker 17 Brad Schimmel, that has included Elon Musk pouring tens of millions of dollars into this race on behalf of Schimmel and also giving out million-dollar checks to voters.

Speaker 11 Well, here's where we are. As of this hour, here is our latest results.

Speaker 11 NBC News, right this moment is projecting a winner in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race NBC News projects at this hour that Susan Crawford is the projected winner in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race this is a remarkable remarkable outcome we've got just 47 percent of the vote in but you see that is a

Speaker 17 that that is what appears what appeared to me before we got the call to be a clear lead for Susan and you know a big day for Democrats overall.

Speaker 4 I think a big day for the Democratic leader in the House, Hakeem Jeffries. If this keeps up, I think you're going to be seeing

Speaker 4 Democratic Speaker of the House, Hakeem Jeffries, very soon. Here he was on Lawrence O'Donnell.
And by the way, I'm still a big, I'm a big Lawrence O'Donnell fan.

Speaker 4 It's good to have even people like Lawrence on MSNBC. He's one of the good ones.
Play this clip.

Speaker 8 It's time for them to walk away from this unelected, unpopular, unhinged, and un-American billionaire puppet master. Elon Musk was just rejected decisively by the voters of Wisconsin.

Speaker 8 He tried to spend his unlimited resources to buy a state Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin, and it failed spectacularly.

Speaker 8 The voters rejected Donald Trump, they rejected Elon Musk, and they rejected the rapidly deteriorating Republican brand.

Speaker 4 And here is Hakeem Jeffries again. Let's play it.

Speaker 8 One point, Lawrence, that should have my Republican colleagues quaking in their boots.

Speaker 8 In the Florida Six race,

Speaker 8 which was a Trump plus 30 district where the margin was cut in half,

Speaker 8 and we'll see where it ultimately lands, but we know at minimum was cut in half to around 15 or 16 points.

Speaker 8 There are 60 Republicans in the House of Representatives who currently currently represent districts where Trump did worse than 15 or 16 points.

Speaker 8 And every single one of those districts is now a target on the backs of those House Republicans.

Speaker 4 As our editor-in-chief, Ron Philipkowski explains, Elon Musk wore the cheese head hat in Wisconsin. He spent $20 million.

Speaker 4 He paid people to sign petitions. He paid people people to

Speaker 4 canvas. He did million-dollar giveaways, a rally, TV interviews.
But I guess people in Wisconsin didn't appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties. I guess not.

Speaker 4 Remember what Elon Musk said that this election will determine the fate of humanity in Wisconsin while

Speaker 4 trying to buy the election? Well, here's the clip just to remind you. Let's play it.

Speaker 16 It's just how important it is.

Speaker 16 They think it's, well, it's just, you know, some kind of judicial thing that's not that important. But actually,

Speaker 16 what's happening on Tuesday is a vote for

Speaker 16 which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives.

Speaker 16 That is why it is so significant. And whichever party controls the House,

Speaker 16 you know,

Speaker 16 to a significant degree controls the country, which then steers the course of Western civilization. So it's like,

Speaker 16 I feel like this is one of those things that may not seem that it's going to affect the entire destiny of humanity, but I think it will.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Or then Elon went on Hannity and talked about humanity dying. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 9 Humanity is dying.

Speaker 4 The last clip I'm going to show you, though, I think is also showing you who this Trump regime really is.

Speaker 4 And you have Stephen Miller here giving you his view about what a judicial system should look like. In other words, no judicial system is how he feels about it.
He goes, What are you going to do?

Speaker 4 You're going to give these people who are accusing of crimes trials with communist judges? You're going to expect that they all

Speaker 4 do trials with communism judges?

Speaker 4 Stephen Miller argued: there's something called due process.

Speaker 4 There's due process in the United States of America. That's what we do.
We give people process. If they're bad, the law

Speaker 4 that we should impose law and order to the fullest extent possible.

Speaker 4 But I don't want Donald Trump saying, oh, you, I think you're a gang member, you're a gang member, you're this, you go to concentration. I said, that's not our system.

Speaker 4 Stephen, if you like systems like that, go to Russia. Go to North Korea.
Go to those systems. Here's Stephen Miller.
Let's play it.

Speaker 15 In this country. And now they say, they have the temerity to say that every single invader that Joe Biden let in should get their own individual judicial trial before they're deported, one at a time.

Speaker 15 Each one gets a million-dollar trial in front of a communist judge to decide whether or not we can send them home. How about, hell no.

Speaker 15 How about we pick them up and we get them out of this country so they can't hurt anyone else?

Speaker 4 Well, there you have it, folks. Let me know what you think.

Speaker 4 Good night for democracy.

Speaker 4 And as you heard, by the way, what Hakeem Jeffrey said, even though the Democrats didn't win in Florida sixth and Florida's first, those were plus 30, plus 33 Trump districts.

Speaker 4 The gap was narrowed by like 20 points. It's too bad the Democratic candidates didn't win there.
It was close. It was close races

Speaker 4 in areas that should never be close.
