We talk to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the Democratic Party nominee for Vice President of the United States, about his background growing up in rural Nebraska and how that influenced his beliefs, how he was able to win in a conservative congressional district in MN, the feeling on the trail of a less nasty and more hopeful politics, and his go-to meal at Culvers. Plus it's our weekly Wisconsin sports segment with Paul Michlig as we talk Brewers, Packers and Badgers.
