This episode covers two main stories. First, a new U.S. Customs rule could soon block Americans from importing cheaper prescription medications from Canada. A campaign director explains how this will hit seniors and people with high deductibles, and is asking lawmakers to step in and pause the policy.

Second, the focus shifts to the fight over new high-voltage transmission lines in Wisconsin.

State representatives warn that giving developers a pass on regulations sets a dangerous precedent. The discussion also touches on the local economy, contrasting a booming market with the reality of people living paycheck to paycheck.
