Campaign advertising

I don't know, if you're anything like me, like the TV is on, football, all day long, Saturday, all day long, Sunday.

during this time of year during election season i feel like i'm used to getting hit over the head with the same ad the same political ads over and over and over again and for whatever reason i feel like i'm not feeling that way i don't know if it's like the youtube tv quad box that i use to watch my football games or if there's actually less attention but i know sometimes politics can be so local are you experiencing the same thing i feel like it's almost surprising me it's sneaking up on me that we have an election.

No, I think it is maybe a little surprising.

I don't know if people are running out of money to fund the ads or what, or if they've just lost hope in terms of trying to throw money at political ads.

I think we all benefit from less political ads.

I don't know anyone out there who's seen some and either changes their opinion based on them or thinks they're necessarily effective.

So hopefully for everybody, this is a trend and we won't have to suffer through many more of these bad commercials each future election cycle.

I would be up for taking all the tourism dollars that we currently spend to try to encourage people to come to Minnesota, take all the money away from whatever efforts the tourism board here in the state is using, and give it all to the guy who created this ad for Tad Jude.

I mean, this is not even like a campaign ad.

This is more of an ad demonstrating why so many people have chosen not to leave this state.

Why so many people love this state.

I, I...

These political ads, oh, man.

I can't wait for these to end.

They're all...

I think it was in New York State where they had an AI-generated ad between Mayor Mamdani and the governor of New York, you know, having a fake conversation walking through Central Park or something.

They shouldn't allow that.

They, they, these, these-- the AI-generated ads where you're taking somebody's image and you're having them say and do things that they didn't actually do, they should, there should be a law against that, I think, especially when it comes to those political ads.

All right, I gotta wrap it up.

You were telling me.

15 days until the political ads, I hope, will be off the radio for another two years.

I am so sick of these ads.

I mean, I think they're actually affecting my mental health.

Yeah, she's faking it.

Morning, Mom Show.

On the topic of all these political ads and everything.

They're getting

All right.

And as I take a deep breath here, Jim, I actually just want to take the chaser's topic to complain to you because I am falling asleep to the voices of James Tallarico, Ken Paxton, and the infighting between the two of them as I am hearing.

And everywhere, it's not just even on the radio station that I work at, all the television, all the pop-up ads everywhere, so many political ads right now.

I want them to stop.

Craig, you have my sympathies.

All right? Rogers' campaign did something that was very brilliant.

They put out a minute campaign ad paid for by Mike Rogers, and Mike Rogers put this out saying, quote, "According to his own sister, Abdul El-Sayed's family has," quote, "a long been Muslim Brotherhood." Okay? He's using their words.

"Has long been Muslim Brotherhood." He then said Abdul needs to be honest with Michiganders about he and his family's ties to terrorism.

So that is a statement from Mike Rogers.

Now, I don't know what, and from the record, you can't tell what Mark Geist and his spouse and his family-owned company, what they got paid a total of fifty thousand eight hundred and two dollars and forty-one cents for.

But I can only assume, since I've not seen any commercials, any ads, anything else that would even tell you that Victor Marks is running, that it did not go to that.

Not a TV buy, not a TV consultant that purchases airtime for c-- for political ads, nothing.

Now, Victor Marks runs a ministry, All Things Possible, and interestingly, All Things Possible keeps showing up in the ledger.

Buddy Jericho, the campaign manager, sits on the ministry's board, according to CPR.

Um-

All political ads are true.

Absolutely.

You bet.
