00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Seven oh seven here at fifty five krc DE talk station,

2
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Brian Thomas switching everyone a very happy Friday and continuing

3
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>our Friday theme which is always Tech Friday with Dave Hatter,

4
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>we were moving over to artificial intelligence. My next guest,

5
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Greg Phillips. You probably know and my listening audience is

6
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:31.399
<v Speaker 1>familiar with the docu drama two thousand Mules. He happened

7
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 1>to have been executive producer and co starred in that.

8
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:36.719
<v Speaker 1>But you also know may not know him, because we're

9
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>going to talking about his company, ground Fusion AI, which

10
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>apparently revolutionizes target targeted political engagement. They have data on

11
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:52.079
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and eleven million voters and like what billions

12
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.799
<v Speaker 1>of data points. Welcome to the program, Greg Phillips. It's

13
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 1>a pleasure to have you on today.

14
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:58.439
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate it so much.

15
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, first off, you have you have data in your

16
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in your website is ground fusion dot AI. My listeners

17
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>want to go there. It's it's it's mind boggling how

18
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:15.879
<v Speaker 1>much information you have. Over one hundred billion would be

19
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:21.359
<v Speaker 1>data elements and two hundred and eleven million voter data information?

20
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 1>Have I got that right?

21
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? You do?

22
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:28.599
<v Speaker 3>We we really got tired of getting beat by the

23
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 3>other side because they've been doing things.

24
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 2>Like this US for all these years. Obama did it,

25
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>everybody does it.

26
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.760
<v Speaker 3>And so my partner Katherine Ingelbrickt and I just decided,

27
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 3>you know what, we're going to build our own. So

28
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:45.040
<v Speaker 3>we started collecting data back years ago. We've got as

29
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:47.120
<v Speaker 3>as you point out, we have two hundred and eleven

30
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 3>million registered voters in America. We have the entire country

31
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 3>geo coded. We have cell phones, we have email addresses,

32
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:56.640
<v Speaker 3>we have consumer type data.

33
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 2>What do people like, what do people do? We have

34
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>know we know if they're you know.

35
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 3>If they're pro gun, if they're pro you know, if

36
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 3>they're if they have a faith base. And and we're

37
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:10.520
<v Speaker 3>able to not just put it all together and be

38
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 3>able to pull out, say everybody in Cincinnati that's over

39
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:14.479
<v Speaker 3>sixty five and.

40
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.719
<v Speaker 2>Is widowed. That that's that's what's called a target.

41
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 3>What we have the ability to do because not only

42
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 3>do we have all the data, but we have a

43
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 3>very sophisticated analytics underpinning that we can go in and

44
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.879
<v Speaker 3>do micro targeting. So I could tell you everybody in

45
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 3>Cincinnati that's over sixty five and widowed, and on a

46
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 3>fixed income, and that likes the reds and that does

47
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 3>this and does that, And we can take that out

48
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 3>to forty seven different data elements and do it at scale,

49
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.759
<v Speaker 3>so we could do it not just in Cincinnati, but

50
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 3>all over the country for anyone to fit that category.

51
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 3>And then we can send them a text, we can

52
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.840
<v Speaker 3>send them an email, we can send their information out

53
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 3>to our vaun tears to make calls. And so it's

54
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.360
<v Speaker 3>absolutely game changing. In forty four years in this business,

55
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 3>I've never not only seen anything like it, I've certainly

56
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.479
<v Speaker 3>never had an opportunity to use something like it.

57
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>And it absolutely is changing the game for us this year.

58
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, the context in which I can see this is

59
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 1>most valuable, and you're talking with someone who is in

60
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>no way, shape or form anything related to it. A

61
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.479
<v Speaker 1>tech guy, I mean, I try to avoid it. It

62
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>all costs me quite candid with you. But in the

63
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>old days, I would say you had to blanket like

64
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 1>with a mail or you just sent it to literally

65
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.039
<v Speaker 1>every address and hope that you know, you made some

66
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>good with somebody who was maybe capable of being influenced

67
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>and undecided voter. But it had to go out to

68
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 1>all the addresses. Now with your ground Fusion AI platform,

69
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>it seems to me that by doing this data analytics,

70
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>you can find the voters that appear to be the

71
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 1>ones who are independent, who maybe are swing voters, and

72
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>so you could you could go after the ones. You know,

73
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>that guy over there is a diehard Republicans, voted Republican,

74
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 1>you know for the last you know, ten, twelve, fourteen elections.

75
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>And that guy over there is a diehard Democrat. You

76
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 1>know what organizations he supports and belongs to. He's never

77
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 1>going to be convinced. But here's a big group of

78
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>people you might be able to influence with some sort

79
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 1>of targeted advertisings. Have I got that down sort of right?

80
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you got it exactly right.

81
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 3>And even better than that, we can create targeted messages

82
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 3>at each one of those individual groups. So that group

83
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 3>that I described earlier, we may we may send a look,

84
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 3>she's destroying us with their inflationary policies. A younger group,

85
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 3>we may send out something completely different that is targeted

86
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 3>at young people that just says, look, the reason you

87
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 3>can't buy a house and you'll never be able to

88
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 3>buy a house is Kamala Harris. And so we can

89
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:57.720
<v Speaker 3>take those kind of cohorts and blend them and get

90
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 3>them available, make them available to campaign, but not just

91
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 3>make them available, but deliver those messages. That's sort of

92
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 3>on the get out the vote side and the political

93
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 3>side on the other side. Katherine Ingelbrackt, my partner who

94
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 3>runs a called True the Vote, who is also.

95
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>In the movie with Yeah, yeah, we.

96
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.439
<v Speaker 3>Are able to not just do what we're doing on

97
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 3>the political side, but we can take this data and

98
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:21.639
<v Speaker 3>do it.

99
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 2>On the election integrity side.

100
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 3>So we have built apps on top of it so

101
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 3>groups like Catherines can go use. We have an app

102
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 3>called IV three IV three dot us. Katherine and her

103
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 3>team just completed a project to clean a million ineligible

104
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.079
<v Speaker 3>voters off of the roles across the United States and

105
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 3>the most amazing project I've ever seen. And again it's

106
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.959
<v Speaker 3>just another way to use the quality data and the

107
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.879
<v Speaker 3>capability we have to be able to deliver these answers

108
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 3>in real time.

109
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 1>So in essence, she you, we're doing the work of

110
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the Secretary of State's office.

111
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly, And in fact it was her volunteers that

112
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.079
<v Speaker 3>were doing it. So we created an app that would

113
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 3>allow somebody to sit it them on their phone. We'd

114
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:11.879
<v Speaker 3>have to enroll them and get them all set up

115
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.360
<v Speaker 3>in their county. But once they were set up in

116
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 3>our system, we would serve them record by by record,

117
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:21.680
<v Speaker 3>just in a row. They could do one or they

118
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:23.319
<v Speaker 3>could do one hundred and one. We had a few

119
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 3>people do over ten thousand challenges in their county, and

120
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.160
<v Speaker 3>we would serve up the information that we had said, Okay,

121
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.480
<v Speaker 3>this person doesn't live here anymore, this person lives in

122
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 3>Georgia and they voted in Georgia in twenty twenty two.

123
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>They don't need to be on the.

124
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Rolls, And so we would create the mechanism for them

125
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 3>to be able to challenge that person who had already moved.

126
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.240
<v Speaker 2>And send it along to the county and or the

127
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 2>secretary state in what state they were in. I think

128
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:51.040
<v Speaker 2>there are thirty one hundred or so.

129
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Counties in the United States, and we cleaned ineligible voters

130
00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:02.480
<v Speaker 3>off of eighteen hundred counties, one hundred counties, more than

131
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:06.399
<v Speaker 3>a million people. Yeah, it's really really exciting, and and.

132
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:07.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, part of it is.

133
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 3>Just an overall effort to give people the tools. People

134
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 3>in America are awake now, they want to help, and

135
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:17.639
<v Speaker 3>so if you give.

136
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Them an opportunity to get out and help.

137
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.519
<v Speaker 3>You know, some people might want to work on their phone,

138
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:25.879
<v Speaker 3>maybe a little a little introverted. We have other apps

139
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.240
<v Speaker 3>that plug into the database that allow people to go

140
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 3>out and do that door knocking that I was talking about. Yeah,

141
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.120
<v Speaker 3>and as you point out, instead of knocking on every

142
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.680
<v Speaker 3>single door in the neighborhood, well you really only need

143
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 3>to knock on these twenty doors. And so give them that,

144
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.079
<v Speaker 3>give them the maps, give them everything that they need.

145
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.439
<v Speaker 3>We have a little survey capability inside of the system

146
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.160
<v Speaker 3>so that we can create those surveys when they go

147
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.600
<v Speaker 3>knock on the door, say hey, Greg Phillips, is I'm

148
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:54.079
<v Speaker 3>working with Greg Phillips. He's running for school board. You know,

149
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:55.600
<v Speaker 3>have you heard of him?

150
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

151
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.279
<v Speaker 3>Okay, mark that on the phone. You know, would you

152
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 3>consider voting for him if you knew that, you know

153
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.759
<v Speaker 3>that he supported you know this, this and this and

154
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.720
<v Speaker 3>so having that is great and having those answers is great.

155
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.839
<v Speaker 3>But now we can take that and put that back

156
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:14.720
<v Speaker 3>into the system. And so then when they're when they're

157
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 3>wanting to send out messages to people who answered yes

158
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.600
<v Speaker 3>to all three of those questions for five of those questions.

159
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 3>They simply just hit a button and it's out the door,

160
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.839
<v Speaker 3>and we're contacting them in real time.

161
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:27.639
<v Speaker 2>With this message.

162
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:29.079
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely amazing, it's just.

163
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's it's true. It's truly game changing.

164
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:37.279
<v Speaker 1>And now I speak with Americans for Prosperity regularly on

165
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the Morning show and they have an entity AFP action

166
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>dot com and their job is to get people my listeners.

167
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Anybody who wants to help out, to become door knockers

168
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.799
<v Speaker 1>to spread the information, would an organization like AFP Action

169
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>contact you so they know which doors to knock on?

170
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, are they doing I don't know if you're

171
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>familiar with the Americans for Prosperity, but it seems to

172
00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.759
<v Speaker 1>me like that's the best possible place to go is

173
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>your organization, because you have all these data points, they

174
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.320
<v Speaker 1>want to do the door knocking work. You're not going

175
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 1>out knocking on doors, greguar So, I presume that's not

176
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.759
<v Speaker 1>the goal of ground fusion, but it's to provide the

177
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:15.240
<v Speaker 1>opportunity for that targeted door knocking or targeted messaging. So

178
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:19.759
<v Speaker 1>any organization out there like AFP would be working with you, I imagine.

179
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah they are.

180
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.799
<v Speaker 3>And while AFP in particular, we have an opportunity to

181
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:27.080
<v Speaker 3>speak with them. We have groups all over the country

182
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.600
<v Speaker 3>that we are providing now the data to or providing

183
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:31.279
<v Speaker 3>the tools.

184
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.799
<v Speaker 2>And the best thing about it is because some.

185
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.879
<v Speaker 3>Of these people, including AFP by the way, have some

186
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:39.799
<v Speaker 3>of their own tools, we can just give them the

187
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.360
<v Speaker 3>data and they can run it through their tools.

188
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Ours happens to be. We built our.

189
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.519
<v Speaker 3>Own mapping system because we didn't want Tom refterply on

190
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.039
<v Speaker 3>Google or anybody else. So we've done a lot of

191
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.039
<v Speaker 3>things in OURS that are interesting. But again, we're not

192
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.080
<v Speaker 3>interested in you fame or fortune or anything else in this.

193
00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.960
<v Speaker 3>We want to work with as many groups as we can.

194
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Athrones working with Moms to Liberty on an election integrity

195
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.879
<v Speaker 3>project right now around the United States, we're doing individual

196
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.440
<v Speaker 3>state based projects. We even have a project called Community

197
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Data Grants where that guy was talking to you baby

198
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:20.240
<v Speaker 3>running for school board that example I gave earlier, Well,

199
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 3>what if it wasn't me, what if it was somebody else.

200
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.279
<v Speaker 3>The hardest part about running down ballot is a lot

201
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:27.440
<v Speaker 3>of these people have never run before. They don't have data,

202
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.399
<v Speaker 3>they don't have tools, they don't know who the FP is,

203
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:34.039
<v Speaker 3>they can't do anything right. We created a mechanism to

204
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 3>get those down ballot races that they're voters, the voters

205
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.320
<v Speaker 3>that fit their needs and their profiles, and just give

206
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:43.919
<v Speaker 3>it to them, because I'll tell you what if we

207
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.480
<v Speaker 3>moved the needle down ballot. Let's say we had a

208
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.360
<v Speaker 3>thousand races around the country, which we're close to being

209
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:53.200
<v Speaker 3>at right now, a thousand down ballot races, and we

210
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.320
<v Speaker 3>can change just one hundred, one hundred, or put one

211
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.960
<v Speaker 3>hundred ballots on our side of the scoreboard for those

212
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.000
<v Speaker 3>hundred thousand people. If you don't think that's going to

213
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.519
<v Speaker 3>move the needle on the up ballot side, the.

214
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Presidential side, oh yeah, or the Senate side.

215
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.320
<v Speaker 3>Or you know, you guys have some really more races

216
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.360
<v Speaker 3>in Alia this year and in Kentucky. We're doing some

217
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 3>amazing work and pretty much put throughout your listening area.

218
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:19.879
<v Speaker 2>It's really.

219
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 3>There's a way to make this benefit, not just for

220
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.960
<v Speaker 3>the president, not just for these guys ladies running for

221
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.960
<v Speaker 3>governors or senators or congress or whatever they're doing.

222
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 2>But that down ballot stuff is going to move.

223
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.480
<v Speaker 3>The needle and make a difference in a way that

224
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:38.440
<v Speaker 3>we have never seen on our side.

225
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:42.519
<v Speaker 1>In all of my lifetimee No, without question, and going

226
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>back to down ball races, usually they're very low funded,

227
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.039
<v Speaker 1>not a whole lot of people, you know, making massive

228
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>campaign contributions to them. Folks can barely afford to get

229
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.399
<v Speaker 1>yard signs out and pay for those, let alone come

230
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.919
<v Speaker 1>up with critical breakdown analysis that you're doing at ground Fusion.

231
00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>It's just wow. I agree with you. This sounds truly

232
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.799
<v Speaker 1>truly game changing. And you do work. I mean the

233
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:10.919
<v Speaker 1>front page of your website specifically mentioned conservative campaign you're

234
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>working for and in the interest of conservative individuals and organizations.

235
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:17.879
<v Speaker 2>It sounds Yeah.

236
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:21.559
<v Speaker 3>We've spent a lot of time really segmenting and figuring

237
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.679
<v Speaker 3>out sort of who we wanted to go with and

238
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:26.960
<v Speaker 3>how we wanted to do this, and it's the reason

239
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:30.200
<v Speaker 3>that we decided to move to the community data grants.

240
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:31.360
<v Speaker 2>You know.

241
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Working on the presidential race and working in these senate

242
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:38.600
<v Speaker 3>races and statewide races broadly and all the way down

243
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:40.759
<v Speaker 3>to Congress is pretty easy, right. I mean, we can

244
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 3>go out and calling people, we know a lot of

245
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:44.679
<v Speaker 3>folks have been in this business a long time, and

246
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:46.519
<v Speaker 3>we can get those campaigns up.

247
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:50.000
<v Speaker 2>But by far the most gratifying work that we're.

248
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:52.679
<v Speaker 3>Doing right now, and the most meaningful work, in my opinion,

249
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.559
<v Speaker 3>is through these community data grants.

250
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:55.639
<v Speaker 2>Many of these.

251
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:58.799
<v Speaker 3>Races are nonpartisan, right if you've got a school board

252
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.879
<v Speaker 3>races as they could be able to in many states,

253
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.039
<v Speaker 3>you can't tell those Republicans or Democrats, and so you

254
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.039
<v Speaker 3>need to know who those people are. So going out

255
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:12.039
<v Speaker 3>and doing that level of work figuring out who are

256
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.159
<v Speaker 3>the people we need to be supporting across the across

257
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.080
<v Speaker 3>the state. We're doing a project down in Alabama with

258
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.000
<v Speaker 3>the chairman or well with them, but they helped us

259
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.919
<v Speaker 3>target some of the district chairman of the Alabama GOP,

260
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 3>I mean John Wall John and I got together and

261
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:31.399
<v Speaker 3>figured out I think it's sixty eight different races down ballot,

262
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.679
<v Speaker 3>all of them nothing above say.

263
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.200
<v Speaker 2>A county level election. We found sixty eight.

264
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.279
<v Speaker 3>Up in Alabama that we believed that if we were

265
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.480
<v Speaker 3>all these up, it can turn it can it can

266
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.679
<v Speaker 3>flip at least one congressional district from A from A

267
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.600
<v Speaker 3>from ded R and so. And even though it's not partisan,

268
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.360
<v Speaker 3>we were able to use our data to say there's

269
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.759
<v Speaker 3>no way that this district, uh, you know, should this

270
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.600
<v Speaker 3>county should be represented by people that are you know,

271
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.720
<v Speaker 3>have all these vote policies right, these ideas on kids

272
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.000
<v Speaker 3>and things should shouldn't be teaching them and should should

273
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:07.960
<v Speaker 3>be showing them.

274
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:11.759
<v Speaker 2>And we're able to go then into that county.

275
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.480
<v Speaker 3>We're across that that those down ballot races in a

276
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:20.519
<v Speaker 3>congressional district and finding sixty races that that all we

277
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.600
<v Speaker 3>asked them to do is look, just use our data

278
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:26.960
<v Speaker 3>to to your right, because we already.

279
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Know that they support the type or that.

280
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:31.759
<v Speaker 3>They're going to be supported by the type of people

281
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:35.600
<v Speaker 3>that would vote for uh, you know who who the

282
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:37.360
<v Speaker 3>you know up ballot races.

283
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Are Yeah, help me, help you here. You are Community
