Chapter 1: What new information has emerged about Brad Schimel?
Some new horrifying information has emerged about the Republican candidate for the Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin that's going to decide the balance of power on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The far right-wing Doge MAGA candidate, a guy by the name of Brad Schimel, He's been trying to pretend that he's not Doge, that he's not MAGA, that he's not Trumpy. He's trying to run away from it.
Chapter 2: How is Elon Musk involved in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race?
So we here at the Midas Touch Network, of course, first saw this published by Axios that Elon Musk's PAC is offering $100 to Wisconsin voters in a pitch against, quote, activist judges, as our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, says, there goes Musk again. He's trying to buy those votes again. And then it became clear to us that really Elon Musk was trying to dojify Wisconsin.
So we had to look deeper here at the Midas Touch Network into Brad Schimel's past, look at his social media posts, and we found this. While he claims he's not a partisan, this is what he was doing. He would go to those Trump boat parades, and he would wear shirts like this one that says, Jesus is my savior, but Trump is my president. And here's the thing with someone like this, too.
It's like if you're Trumpy, then just say it. Just say you're Trumpy and let the voters ultimately decide that you're a Trumpy doge guy. And if they want to vote for getting rid of Social Security and Medicaid, if they're into all that stuff, you're their guy, I guess, you know, on the court.
Then we did some more digging into some speeches that were given by Schimmel and some kind of just scary and weird stuff came up. Like this one right here where Schimmel tells this story while he's speaking in front of this group about how he psychologically beat the daylights out of an eight-year-old in the backseat. I think he's talking about, you know, his daughter.
Chapter 3: What controversial statements has Brad Schimel made?
You can feel the cringe level of the audience as he's telling this bizarre story. Play this clip.
And she reminded me of a story that I cannot deny. We had picked up our oldest Mackenzie at a friend's house and there'd been a fib. I don't know what the fib was anymore, but she had told a fib about something and she was denying that she had fibbed. So this car ride home, I'm going to get her on the witness stand. So she's in the back seat. I adjusted the mirror.
So I'm looking right at her and she's looking right at me. And every time she looks away, I said, look at me. And I don't think I looked at the road the whole way. And I got her back there, and I'm grilling her about this, and I'm rebutting every fib she piles on the fib. And I got a Perry Mason moment right there in my car. She broke down. I did it. I did it. I did it. And I won my trial.
She is next witness. The rest is my case. Well, she's in the back seat. She is just crying miserably. My wife's looking at me like I'm a monster. And I was proud of myself. I just beat up on her. She was probably eight. I just psychologically beat the daylights out of an eight-year-old in the back seat.
I want to bring in Dane County Circuit Court Judge, Judge Susan Crawford, who is running against Schimel in this seat. We have a law and order pro-democracy judge here. What do you make of all of these recent videos from his past that have emerged?

Chapter 4: Who is Judge Susan Crawford and what is her stance?
Well, you know, that was a really sad story and just, you know, makes your heart break for that child. But I think what we're hearing is a lot more of what Brad Schimel says when he's in private, what he says when he believes he's in a group of his political allies versus what he'll say on a broader stage when he thinks he's talking to a general audience.
It has happened over and over in this campaign.
What's your message to the people of Wisconsin, though, who, you know, don't know? I mean, you know, some people like, wait a minute, Supreme Court races, people run for this seat. You know, a lot of people don't even know like like that. I know a lot of people in Wisconsin are paying attention when it happens in your state. They start to pay attention, often closer.
Chapter 5: What are the implications of this Supreme Court race for Wisconsin?
And I know that people are starting to vote already. So what do you say to them?
Listen to what he says, listen to his words. And he's talked about begging on his knees for campaign contributions, wearing out his knee pads. He's saying that he wants to be on the court to be part of Donald Trump's support network. You just got to listen to what the guy says. He wants to be on the court to push a partisan agenda.
He wants to be there to support Elon Musk and to support Donald Trump and Doge. And that's really not what the court's for. And I've said over and over, I want to be on the court to protect the people of Wisconsin under our constitution and laws. Brad Schimel's got a whole different agenda.
Yeah, I mean, when you and I speak, it's always speaking about I'm law and order. I'm going to enforce the law. I'm going to enforce our state's constitution, United States Constitution. When he goes on podcasts, he goes to like the – you know, the MAGA bro style podcast. And he, and he tells that same story. Like he, that story, he like loves that story.
Here's another one that we unearthed a second clip of shimmel on one of these bro podcasts or whatever they call them saying his wife told him he shut her and his daughters out. And I didn't want to talk to you. What, what does he mean? What is he even talking about here? Play this clip. And, um,
And you're kind of quiet about it. You don't ever talk about your work. You kind of shut us out. You come home from work and you don't talk to anybody for a while. And she said, you don't really talk to your daughters. You kind of interrogate your daughters. And I was like, wow, maybe I'm in too deep.
Maybe I need to take a step back. Like it's a choice to go on a podcast like that and say, It's creepy.
It is. Right. Yeah. I mean, I don't even know what to say about it.
Let me show you this. Let me show you this other clip right here, though. And as serious, I mean, horrific stuff right here. This is a clip that we unearthed where he said that he's personally against marriage equality. Let me show you this one.
