We are joined by Yoshiko M. Herrera, UW-Madison professor of comparative politics and international relations. She tells us about Russian-Iranian relations and how Russia is supporting Iran in the Middle East conflict as well as how the Russians are benefitting from it.

We take a look at the topic of the legalization of online sports betting in Wisconsin since the state senate passed it this week. Also, a civics lesson about registering to vote and how absentee ballots work.
