If you had $4,000, what would you do with that money? Pay bills? Buy a fancy bauble? Destroy a guitar because you don't know how to process your feelings?

Then it's time to really talk comedy, The Milwaukee Comedy Festival, to be specific. We wrap up with the show with another installment of This Shouldn't Be A Thing - Political Edition.

It's Friday and the weekend, starts here. Humans means human error and that's what happened in Madison when duplicate ballots were sent out to about 2,200 addresses in the Madison area, but instead of looking at the facts, Rep.

Next, we turn our attention to another Wisconsin Congressman who would rather see the government shut down than find a solution. Then we welcome Founder and Board President Dorothy Harms from the Farmer Angel Network to show to talk about mental health and suicide prevention in the farming community.

It's Monday and it's a day for celebration...sorta. Turns out the Congress has agreed to a continuing resolution to keep the government working, for now.

In the second hour, the team is addressing the story that has gotten far more attention than it needs, as it's completely untrue. Springfield, Ohio has a growing immigrant population, and it's been great, but some have decided to spread rumors and lies, which are disparaging to the Haitian population in the town. The growing problem? These rumors and lies are making their way to the national stage by way of senators, congressmen and a presidential candidate. We wrap up the show with another edition of Public Cervix Announcement and Dr. Hanks is telling us her favorite parts of the debate as well as how she found out about the endorsement of her favorite artist and childless cat lady.

By now you know four people were killed in Winder, GA. Two kids, two adults with nine more injured, all done by a 14 year old child. A child who had been reported to the cops, who had access to guns and yet we still wonder "why does this happen?" It's nothing new, it's nothing shocking and it's something even The Onion seems to take seriously, if you know you know. In the second half of the hour, we are joined by Friend Of The Show, Candidate for Congress in the 8th District, Dr. Kristin Lyerly and we'll be talking about Georgia, Bingo Lauren Boebert and why the conversation can't be diverted to serve your needs.

Look at the stock market, job reports, current state of inflation and you'll see that maybe your uncle, co-worker or news source is wrong. We're then talking about super normal/not weird guy JD Vance and MORE audio uncovered with his thoughts on what women should worry about and their purpose in life.

And to make their case, VP Kamala Harris and her newly chosen running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz brought their message to Eau Claire and it was, to sum it up; joyful. And hot on their tails, with a weird message and even weirder event, JD Vance who has a real problem with appearing human. It's less than a week from the primary election on Tuesday, August 13 and there are two Constitutional Amendment questions and while we believe it's important to vote "no" on both, we want you to know all of the information.

We then welcome New York Best Selling Times Author Andra Watkins, who was raised in Christian Nationalist home and brings a unique skill to the Trump campaign and the GOP: Decoding the message of Project 2025.

Then we're talking about all the things Joe can do before he leaves office and we ask you what you'd like to see accomplished in his final six months in the White House. Then we turn to the Windy City to (of course) talk about Donald Trump saying all the best words to the National Association of Black Journalists. We also catch up with Fox News Anchor and Nepo Baby Prime, Jesse Waters in another installment of More Words From Men.

Welcome to Monday and boy howdy do we have news to talk about! From the looks of it, the former president had some thoughts on elections, voting and how to pronounce names. Then we shift gears to his running mate, JD Vance who seems to be clarifying and walking more statements back than anyone in the GOP. We close out the hour with new policies being sought by President Joe Biden regarding Supreme Court reform and a new Constitutional amendment aimed at the power of his branch.

While this is a big deal, it doesn't come without concerns. But for now, thank you Rep. Tiffany for doing the hard work.

It's Friday and you made it! We all did. We're diving back into the rhetoric from on JD Vance about "Childless Cat Ladies" and want to know; what's good enough for the kittie is good enough for the litter, because Democrats aren't the only one who aren't married and have no children. Then we give thanks for a do-nothing Congress and wish them well on their (now) five week vacation. Then Resident Young Person and producer Calvin gives Jane and Greg a lesson on what "Brat" is and we're not talking about grillin'!

Things are starting off hot and fresh with Rep. Mark Pocan (WI 2nd Dist.) returning to the show to talk about a new chapter in this presidential election, as well as our thoughts on JD Vance and his ability to break records. We then switch gears with Dr. Kristin Lyerly to clear up the latest (but not new) claims being made by the former president about abortion.

In the second hour, Donald Trump claims to be surrounded by all of the best people and we feel that with The Heritage Foundation and their Project 2025 backing him up, he'll have a whole crop of new "the best" to fill those jobs in the next year. People like Laura Loomer, John McEntee and Wisconsin's very own Paul "Kevin" Kovacik. You know...nothing but the best. Then it's time for another edition of Public Cervix Announcement with Dr. Laura Hanks and today we're talking about "Cord Blood Banks" and the pros, as well as the cons of utilizing such a place. To wrap up the show, we remember John Mayall. You might not have heard of him, but you've heard of Clapton and Fleetwood Mac, which is in thanks to Mr. Mayall who died at 90.

It's the final day of the RNC and we're diving right into the pool with the lack of a topic in the speeches at this year's convention. Don't be fooled, the GOP hasn't changed their mind or soften their stance, they're just waiting in the tall grass for 2025. Then it's becoming painfully clear that this event is not about a party looking to unify, in fact they seem as if they can't stomach some of the very people who stand for their values. We also give you an update on Wisconsin's very own, Derrick Van Orden. Then it's time to welcome Dan Shafer from the award winning Recombobulation Area to get his thoughts on this week and how it has affected Milwaukee.

Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is deploying a new maneuver to avoid having the liberal-controlled court weigh in on the state's electoral maps: writing new ones. At 3am Tuesday morning, Vos and the Assembly Republicans drafted legislative that would be akin to "Iowa Style Nonpartisan Redistricting", then they held a press conference about it that same day, with no plans to give it a public hearing before they vote on it on Thursday.

Kristin, Greg and Jane have thoughts about this - including a couple red flags that people should be aware of.

Here is a really good X/twitter thread from John Johnson, who breaks down what's in the new redistricting bill and how it ultimately isn't a huge departure from what we currently do.

When you look at the facts surrounding the impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton - it makes sense. Since taking office in 2015, Paxton has been beset by a series of scandals. He remains under indictment on securities fraud charges and faces an additional federal investigation after former staffers accused him of accepting bribes and abusing his office. It was his request for $3.3 million in state funds for a settlement with those whistleblowers that prompted the state House GOP to impeach Paxton earlier this year.

Compare that to the Wisconsin GOP's threats of impeaching Justice Janet Protasiewicz and you will quickly understand how insane and unprecedented what they are trying to do actually is. We spend the whole hour breaking down what the GOP is trying to do, how they could get away with it, and what it would mean for democracy in Wisconsin.

A lawsuit against The Wausau Pilot and Review was dismissed in April but the small, independent paper is now dealing with mounting legal bills as the case is under appeal.  GOP State Rep, Cory Tomczyk accused the paper of defamation after it reported he used a homophobic slur during a county board meeting Aug. 12th.  The paper ran the story acting on a tip from a reader and with three individual sworn statements that Tomczyk did use the slur. A judge later ruled Tomczyk didn't meet the legal standard to prove he was defamed. Now, Pilot owner Shereen Siewart says she doesn't know how she'll be able to pay for lawyers and her staff of 4.

In a sweeping indictment, President Trump and 18 others were accused of running a “criminal enterprise” in their efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia—language historically used to take down mob bosses.

According to the indictment, Trump and his allies, including his former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, tried to interfere with the electoral college process through dozens of acts such as harassing election workers and, in one case, breaching voting equipment in Coffee County, GA.

For Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, it’s his fourth indictment in five months.

We spend the first hour discussing people's reactions to this indictment, more details about the case and the Wisconsin connection (cause there's always a Wisconsin connection).

In the past there have been cases before the Wisconsin Supreme Court where one of the seven justices has had a conflict of interest. But in Wisconsin, there are no real rules dictating when a Supreme Court justice should recuse themselves from the case. They rely on the time tested "honor system" Can we agree that should change? But if it were to change, what should recusal standards include? We bring this up today because last week, Vos Robin Vos said that Justice Protasiewicz should recuse on redistricting cases or risk impeachment.

Then we discuss the wild case that led to a police raid of a local newspaper in Kansas (with some Wisconsin connection) and recap some of the antics that the Presidential candidates did at the Iowa State Fair over the weekend.

Can you be a woman of value if you don’t get married and have children? Cause apparently to the speakers at Turning Point USA’s Young women’s Leadership Summit - you cannot. This past weekend marked the conservative organization Turning Point USA’s annual Young Women’s Leadership Summit.  Which is an event that meant for high school and college age young women. Media Matters’ Madeline Peltz reported her time there and observed some variation of the same speech from the roster of conservative speakers imploring young attendees to give up their career aspirations and their birth control. 

The Daily Wire’s Candace Owens literally wrapped up the convention by telling attendees, “Every ill that we are fighting right now in society has been brought forth by women.”

We discuss the hypocrisy of these career focused women (Owens, Alex Clark, Allie Beth Stuckey, Laura Ingram) evangelizing young women to not have a career, what a "traditional" wife actually is, and what the political end game is in preaching this message.

Canada’s people-to-maple-tree ratio is getting bigger, as its population recently became 40 million strong. How'd they get there? By politely telling foreign workers, students, and refugee to come on in. Over a million foreign arrivals that Canada welcomed in 2022 accounted for 96% of its headcount growth last year, according to Statistics Canada. That puts its population growth rate at 2.7%, making it the fastest growing high-income economy in the world, per Bloomberg.

Should the US follow suit? We spend the first hour discussing the pros and cons or trying to aggressively increase our population by encouraging immigration.

  • define unborn babies as people
  • ban critical race theory
  • train and arm teachers:
  • ban teaching about sexual orientation or gender identity before fifth grade
  • stop transgender women from participating in women’s sports,
  • ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth
  • allow psychologists to treat transgender kids for gender dysphoria

At 2:30am last night, following a day filled with closed door discussions among GOP lawmakers, Wisconsin Republicans gutted Child Care Counts, Wisconsin’s pandemic era child care subsidy program, voting to erase $340 million for the program from the governor’s budget proposal.

This will exacerbate the child care crisis our state was already in. Child care will become even less available and more expensive and more families will be forced to choose between working and staying home with their kids.

Then we race through a rundown of everything that is going down in Madison as the Legislature tries to nail down our budget, including:

  • The Legislature passing the share bill aimed at averting Milwaukee financial crisis

How do you feel about religious schools getting public money?  Per the Supreme Court's decision last summer, it's legal for public money to go to religious schools but is it right? Especially when you find out that there is no state law protecting LGBTQ+ students from discrimination once enrolled in a voucher school. And the federal Title IX law exempts religious institutions from complying with the anti-discrimination law if it runs counter to their religious beliefs.  Wisconsin Watch reviewed public materials for about one-third of the state’s 373 voucher schools and found that four out of 10 had policies or statements that appeared to target LGBTQ+ students for disparate treatment. Some had explicitly discriminatory policies, such as expelling students for being gay or transgender.
