Ty MastersonGuestJohn WhitmerHost
But how's it been? What's the response been like? The response has been fabulous everywhere we've gone.
Even when you show up some places and there's some resistance, once people really get to communicate with you, it's been going really well.
Get 10 of your friends, call them every day as soon as the polls open, make sure they voted.
In the meantime, we need you to fix property taxes and all the other stuff that I know.
team sport too i mean at this point i mean it's republican versus democrat you know common sense versus crazy i mean it's the decision is clear right i mean if center is anywhere in your description of yourself center right center left it's not really a hard decision i mean you go look just go look at the records i mean it's not a complicated thing so we have to get out and there's some people that just go out and pull the lever i tell people this story because i hope it energizes them my last democratic opponent for my senate seat right so like the kansas senate in 2024 never met her because she was never on the trail late 20s early 30s i'm not sure exactly how old she was unemployed listed her occupation on some of the documents as making sparkly headbands and raised less than a thousand dollars and pulled down somewhere around 35 36 percent of the vote That point being, our opponents, our Democrat opponents, are going to have a floor of people that just go out and pull the lever.
So that's why it's so important for us to actually get out and cast a vote because when we show up, we win.
And I've been winning over independents too because I am in the middle in that sense.
And so I just would get out and vote and get all your friends to get out and vote.
