MAGA Republicans are not exactly coping well with their massive defeat in Wisconsin for the vacant Supreme Court seat. 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 the entire MAGA machinery.
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. 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, an accurate map in Wisconsin, a real map, what it always should be.
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, and it's clearly a repudiation of Trump and Musk and Doge, but they're refusing to admit that.
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. 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. 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.
Many people talking about how Musk's voting pay for play scheme itself could potentially be criminal. Here's a Scott Walker on CNN.
Watch this. So do you think that was compelling? I mean, it's interesting tactic.
It's a little Saul Linsky-ish in the sense that you've got George Soros and J.D. Pritzker and Reid Hoffman and all these billionaires who've spent far more than Musk did in this and now pointing and saying, well, wait a minute.
I don't think they spent on this they didn't. Well, collectively, 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...
I'm just saying, like, in terms of the money from J.B. Pritzker...
Oh, individually, if you look at the whole outside money that came from out of the state, it's clearly... But you don't think it was a referendum on Musk at all, though? Oh, I think it had a part of it.
I think a lot of different issues. I think...
Then you had all of the kind of right-wing panelists like Jennings on CNN. And, you know, He's like,'s like, actually, I think the Schimmel campaign was really underfunded.
And I think Elon Musk helped out. I think Elon Musk gave this a boost.
That's what happened. That's what the MAGA Republicans and their propaganda mouthpieces, like Scott Jennings, are saying right now.
Here, play this clip. Scott, do you think this in Wisconsin was referendum on Musk? Well, I can 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, you know, given whatever boost he had late.
But it didn't solve for the issue that the 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. You heard Elon Musk, I think correctly, try to tie a vote in the Supreme Court race to much larger macro political issues.
But it wasn't enough. And so that that is 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. It will be an issue in these midterms, and that's something the party strategists are going to have to deal with.
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. And because Republicans are the working class party now, you need to have more people turn out.
You're not the working class. You're the party of the oligarchs.
What are you talking about? Also, 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.
Play the clip. Definitely waiting on this race.
What else matters is 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. 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...
to turn out high tonight. We're going to, we're going to, it's good.
But I know what you're saying. Wisconsin turnout is typically better than most places, right? But it still was a spring election.
It's still not presidential level turnout. Now I'll show you Brad Schimel's concession speech.
The mood was grim and sober. Brad Schimel 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. He talks about, I psychologically tortured my eight-year-old daughter.

But here he is conceding. Play this clip.

Too bad. And we're not going to pull this off.
so thank you guys from the bottom of my heart bye-bye brad bye-bye you know brad schimmel dressed up as donald trump for halloween 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. 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. Play this clip.
So when I set out on this journey, it wasn't what I wanted to do. I mean, all of you have heard me say this a thousand times.
I didn't want to do this. But I knew it was important, and I knew I had to put my all in.
Now, let me take you inside the room of Judge Susan Crawford. The mood there, of course, happy, relieved, excited.

The fact that 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.

Someone who watches out for people.

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. For justice in Wisconsin.
And we won. Here, Judge Susan Crawford talks about how Wisconsin fended off this massive attack

against democracy from these fascist forces. Play this clip.
So today, Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy. our fair elections and our Supreme Court and Wisconsin stood up and said loudly that justice does not have a price.
Our courts are not for sale. You know, it's harder than deciding what to watch at night, figuring out what to cook for dinner.

And then throughout the day as well, I guess the talking point that the MAGA Republicans get, you know, they get their talking points. Representative Brian Steele says, you know, you're talking about Elon.
I don't know why I do that voice. He sounds nothing like that.
But 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 cheese on his. He wore a cheese head in Green Bay.
Here, first play this clip of Brian Steele. 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.
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.
And that is why in Wisconsin, we're working so hard to get Brad Schimel on the court. 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, more than $19 million for Elon Musk and affiliated groups is why I asked specifically about that.
Dude, this was literally Elon Musk over the weekend wearing the cheese head. Play this clip.
Oh, can I play this? Can I play this for you? Rachel Maddow. I like the way we called it last night on the Midas Touch Network.
As soon as the election was, the results were in week, we were able to call it. Thanks to decision headquarters as well.
But Rachel Maddow did a great call. This was the moment that Judge Susan Crawford won on Maddow.
Hat tip to Rachel Maddow. She's so great.
Play this clip. 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.
Well, here's where we are. As of this hour, here is our latest results.
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% of the vote in, but you see that is what appeared to me before we got the call to be a clear lead for Susan.
And a big day for Democrats overall. I think a big day for Democratic leader in the House, Hakeem Jeffries.
If this keeps up, I think you're going to be seeing a 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. It's good to have even people like Lawrence on MSNBC.
He's one of the good ones. Play this clip.
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.
He tried to spend his unlimited resources to buy a state Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin, and it failed spectacularly. The voters rejected Donald Trump.
They rejected Elon Musk, and they rejected the rapidly deteriorating Republican brand. And here is Hakeem Jeffries again.
Let's play it. One point, Lawrence, that should have my Republican colleagues quaking in their boots in the Florida six race, which was a Trump plus 30 district where the margin was cut in half.
and we'll see where it ultimately lands but we know at minimum it was cut in half to around 15

or 16 points there are 60 republic Republicans in the House of Representatives who currently represent districts where Trump did worse than 15 or 16 points. And every single one of those districts, there's now a target on the backs of those House Republicans.
As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski explains, Elon Musk wore the cheesehead hat in Wisconsin. He spent $20 million.
He paid people to sign petitions. He paid people to 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. Remember when Elon Musk said that this election will determine the fate of humanity in Wisconsin while trying to buy the election? Well, here's the clip just to remind you.
Let's play it. It's just how important it is.
They think it's well, it's just, you know, some kind of judicial thing that's not that important. But actually what they're doing, what's happening on Tuesday is a vote for which party controls the U.S.
House of Representatives. That is why it is so significant.
And whichever party controls the house, you know, to a significant degree, controls the country, which then steers the course of Western civilization. So it's like, 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.
No pressure. Yeah.
Or then Elon went on Hannity and talked about humanity dying. Here, play this clip.
Humanity is dying. The last clip I'm going to show you, though, I think is also showing you who this Trump regime really is.
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? You're going to give these people who are accusing of crimes trials with communist judges? You're going to expect that they all do trials with communism judges? Stephen Miller argued, there's something called due process. 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, we should impose law and order to the fullest extent possible. 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. That's not our system.
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. 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. 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? How about we pick them up and we get them out of this country so they can't hurt anyone else? Well, there you have it, folks. Let me know what you think.
Good night for democracy. And as you heard, by the way, what Hakeem Jeffries said, even though the Democrats didn't win in Florida's sixth and Florida's first, those were plus 30, plus 33 Trump districts.
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 in areas that should never be close.

The tide is turning. The tide is turning.
