Fact or Fiction: Trump In Wisconsin

Fact or Fiction · Mon Jun 8, 2026

Frank (host)

It's now time for a game of fact

Brian (co-host)

or fiction.

Here's your host, producer Frank.

Frank (host)

All right, so as you all know, President Trump was in Chippewa Falls this weekend.

Yes, he was.

To speak about agriculture to the farmers.

And I was given the greatest task of all time, which is to watch the whole thing.

and come up with a factor fiction game, which we love playing on here.

It's the greatest radio game of all time.

Brian (co-host)

It is.

It

Frank (host)

is.

True.

Brian (co-host)

And you're a good human being, Frank.

Frank (host)

I, you know, I really am.

This is my burden to

Brian (co-host)

bear.

Frank (host)

So here's how it's going to work.

I'm going to play some clips from President Trump's speech in Wisconsin.

Brian and Jamie have to decide whether it is fact

President Trump (clip)

or

Frank (host)

if it's fiction.

Here we go.

We ready?

President Trump (clip)

We're ready.

And we've had great success here in Wisconsin, and we brought a lot of business to Wisconsin.

We recommend it.

I love the place.

Frank (host)

Fiction.

Did President Trump bring a lot of business to Wisconsin?

Brian (co-host)

That is fiction.

That's what I'm going with.

Frank (host)

Brian, going with fiction.

Fiction.

Brian (co-host)

Fiction.

Frank (host)

Pure fiction.

It is fiction, so...

Let's dive into this.

The biggest example we can look at is from the first Trump administration with Foxconn.

Jamie (co-host)

Do we remember Foxconn?

Frank (host)

I do remember Foxconn.

RIP.

In 2017, the announcement promised a roughly $10 billion LCD factory and up to 13,000 jobs in southeastern Wisconsin.

They signed a revised incentive deal outlining a $672 million investment from Foxconn, creating fewer than 1,500 jobs.

Trump has promised more investments in his latest term, but if it's anything like Foxconn, we cannot count any of those as fact just yet.

Remember during the State of the Union address when he was talking about all the investments that we have?

Yes.

Yes.

and he inflated his own number and the White House said it's actually 9.7 trillion and I think he doubled it in his speech.

So we're going with fiction for this one.

Okay,

Brian (co-host)

there's nothing sadder either than driving by the Foxconn building and seeing like two cars parked outside of it on a Wednesday afternoon at 1 p.m.

I just if you're in the vicinity sometime go do it and that's about all you're going to see outside the building.

It is a very sad sight.

Frank (host)

All right moving on to number two

President Trump (clip)

and we've had great success here in Wisconsin and we brought

Frank (host)

a lot of Sorry, that's number one.

We're at a

President Trump (clip)

point We're gonna come out of Iran very quickly and it's gonna be very strong one way the other whether it's a piece of paper or the Very tough way.

Okay.

The very tough ways may be the easier way, but we're gonna come out and your fertilizer prices are gonna go way down

Just like they were four months ago, your fertilizer is down, your energy is down, your oil, your gas is all coming way down.

Frank (host)

All right, so the question is, are gas, there's a lot there.

I know some of these I have to, there's some of these I extend just a little bit because this really is how the dots get connected.

Jamie (co-host)

Sure.

The hard way is the easy way, okay.

Frank (host)

The hard way is the easy way.

Jamie (co-host)

Okay.

Frank (host)

Gas and fertilizer prices will come way back down as soon as the conflict with Iran ends.

the straight of four moves returns to normal, gas and fertilizer prices will come down.

That is a fact.

Gasoline prices could respond within weeks.

While fertilizer prices may take longer because global inventories and supply chains need time to recover.

There's also a very real possibility that gas prices will not come down to pre-war levels anytime soon, if at all.

So it's mostly fact.

If you're just looking at prices are going to come down, yes, that's a fact.

Are they going to immediately drop?

No.

Brian (co-host)

No.

No.

But that's just part of the allure, right?

By telling people the half truths, then it seems like you're telling them the truth or you're not actually fudging the actual facts of what's

Frank (host)

going to

Brian (co-host)

happen.

That that's been part of the ammo of this particular administration since the first version.

If you say partially true things, then it seems like it's all true.

Frank (host)

And that's why you listen to Daybreak.

That's right.

You know, producer Frank's going to watch it for you and do the fact-checking.

That way you can just kind of turn your brain off.

That's right.

And hear me spout about it.

And you don't have to watch these things.

What do you got next, Spouty?

Here's what we've got.

If you're just tuning in, we are playing fact or fiction.

We are fact-checking President Trump's speech from Wisconsin this past weekend.

President Trump (clip)

We had the worst border, maybe anywhere in the world.

There was no border.

25 million people came in.

Drug dealers came in.

People from mental institutions came in.

Murders came in.

11,888 murders, most of whom, over 50% of whom killed.

Can you believe this?

More than one person.

One killed seven people.

We allowed them into our country.

We've got them largely.

They're going out and they're going out fast.

We have to fight crooked judges, crooked administrations, crooked politicians.

Brian (co-host)

Wow.

That was a stream of consciousness.

Frank (host)

Man.

Brian (co-host)

Fiction.

I'm going to say fiction.

SPEAKER_??

Pure fiction.

Frank (host)

You know what's fun about some of these?

It's the same speech recycled over and over.

Like some of these, like especially for the immigration thing, I feel like I looked at my old script.

Yeah.

copied and pasted that section.

Backup all over again.

Truly.

All right.

As for people entering the country.

U.S.

Customs and Border Protection recorded about 11 million border encounters during Biden's term, but that does not mean 11 million different people entered the country illegally.

That is far from the 25 million quoted by President Trump as in the clip you just heard.

The true number of unique individuals who entered unlawfully is not known.

As for murderers, and I want this to be very clear.

The FBI's national crime data does not systematically track the immigration status of homicide offenders.

Does not track it.

So there is no official federal count of murders committed by undocumented immigrants between January 2021 and January 2025.

Jamie (co-host)

What about the mental patients?

We track our mental patients coming in.

Do you have that number?

Because a lot of them I hear the mental institutions are just emptied out.

That's

Frank (host)

that's what I hear.

I'm not

Jamie (co-host)

in Mexico or empty now.

Frank (host)

I am not seeing the data to support that.

Brian (co-host)

Okay.

All right.

All right fiction fiction

Frank (host)

it

Brian (co-host)

is

Frank (host)

We are going with fiction.

Let's see.

What was that number three?

Mm-hmm All right moving on to number four

President Trump (clip)

I inherited all these high prices they came in and they said affordability

They made up the word, because that's the only thing they're good at, although I'm good at making up words.

They go, affordability.

I

Frank (host)

was there

President Trump (clip)

one day, and I called this young lady right over here, Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture.

I said, Brooke, get the egg prices down please.

And she got them down.

And by the way, speaking of Tom Tiffany is one of the best congressmen in our country.

Frank (host)

Yes, that is exact.

I did not edit that portion.

That is the train of thought that rolled on to the next

Brian (co-host)

one.

SPEAKER_??

Okay.

Jamie (co-host)

Can I vote more than once

Brian (co-host)

on one

Frank (host)

thing?

You know what?

Brian (co-host)

Sure.

Frank (host)

I'm gonna allow it.

Jamie (co-host)

Can I go fiction squared?

Brian (co-host)

You

Jamie (co-host)

may

Frank (host)

go

Jamie (co-host)

fiction

Frank (host)

squared.

I

Jamie (co-host)

may go fiction cube down that one.

I'm gonna go cube

Brian (co-host)

if I might.

All of it's fiction.

Frank (host)

Pure fiction.

It is fiction.

All of it is pure fiction.

Let's break this down.

So about the egg prices, do we remember when eggs were like $11?

Jamie (co-host)

Yeah, you know what I remember about that?

I remember a huge problem with a chicken disease.

It was going around

Brian (co-host)

and

Jamie (co-host)

millions and millions of chickens had to be killed.

Yes.

Because they were spreading disease.

Brian (co-host)

Yes.

And it was affecting chicken farms across the country.

Yes.

Jamie (co-host)

Wisconsin had millions.

Yes.

Numbers of stories about millions of

Brian (co-host)

chickens.

Yes.

Yes.

Jamie (co-host)

Okay.

Go ahead, Frank.

I'm sorry.

I'm just baffled.

I

Frank (host)

did have an avian flu outbreak.

I love watching Brian during the clips.

I think that's more fun than the actual game.

Here's an interesting note.

Brooke Rollins increased the import of eggs to counteract the avian flu outbreak.

However, one, it wasn't fixed overnight.

Two the the avian flu was not fault of any president or any president's turn.

It just

Brian (co-host)

happened.

Frank (host)

Yeah, okay.

Thanks, Biden So no you don't really get points for that one And you don't need me to rattle off that to tell you that affordability isn't a made-up word or a hope it's affecting all of us at the grocery store

at the gas pump and it affects some of us.

Let's say if you were over the age of 30 and you've never owned a home before and you're probably not going to anytime soon.

That's affordability.

When it comes to things like the tariff decisions and the invasion of Iran, those two things can be blamed for a lot of these costs.

Not all of them, but most of them, especially when you're looking at the gas pump and you're going to the store to buy things.

Brian (co-host)

Yeah.

Jamie (co-host)

What about the top Tiffany part?

Brian (co-host)

See the best.

I

Frank (host)

guess

Jamie (co-host)

that's a matter of opinion.

That's

Frank (host)

a matter of opinion.

That's right.

I just kept it in there because I thought it was interesting that we went from eggs directly to time just like that.

Jamie (co-host)

Yeah.

Because he's too chicken to vote against Trump.

Anyway, that's that's me.

I apologize.

I'm out of line.

Brian (co-host)

All right.

Moving

Frank (host)

on.

I think we got time at least for one more.

Right.

Brian (co-host)

At least

Frank (host)

a little over a minute.

Brian (co-host)

OK.

President Trump (clip)

And your 401ks, who has a 401k here?

Let me just say a lot.

Your 401ks, as you know, just hit a record high.

So that's everybody.

Jamie (co-host)

The thousand five hundred five thousand.

Fiction.

Brian (co-host)

That one's hard because I'm going to say that

Jamie (co-host)

one's I'm going to say it's a fact because that's all he cares about is and he's manipulated the market enough.

I'm going to say fact on that one.

Brian (co-host)

I'll say fiction just because it's a fact.

Frank (host)

Yeah.

It is a fact.

I

Jamie (co-host)

am

Frank (host)

insightful.

The Delody reported that the average 401k balance reached a record $146,400 at the end of 2025.

That's up 11.2 percent from a year earlier.

However, there was pullback in early 2026.

And we'll leave it at that.

Wow.

That was factor fiction, guys.

Thank you, Frank.

So much fun.
