Really?
Finally, they're not really going to do anything.
Boy, what a useless house.
They haven't done anything in months.
Thanks for helping out there.
Boy, we ought to look into those crime stats, see if they're correct or not, in DC.
Wow, this is really important stuff.
I think we're all affected by this.
Wow.
I am done with this.
I'm almost done with this.
Okay.
And then of course, you know, we're dealing with the fact that Trump has signed an executive order establishing
Specialized National Guard units to address crime in the cities.
Seriously?
Really?
Seriously.
Specialized National Guard units.
What does that mean?
That means that Pete Hegseth, another incompetent, is establishing specialized units in the National Guard that will be specifically trained and equipped to deal with public order issues.
All right, just gonna let you know.
There'll be resource trained, organized and available to assist in federal, state and local law enforcement in quelling and get this, in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety and order whenever it's needed.
Well, boy.
Okay.
You know.
I wish we had
this
has turned into
Yeah.
Yeah.
But anyway, that's what we've got now.
And this is, this is it.
I think this story is it for this country for the next three and a half years.
If we can survive, and I don't think it's possible at this point, but if we're going to get this deep into security and being told what
to do, when to do it, what we can say, what we can't think
He posted, WTF is wrong with the Cracker Barrel.

You see how open and bright and spacious it is now?
Very live left love in here.
It's almost as if you won't be turned away because of your skin color, but you will be profiled while you're there.
Now they will still have their vintage candies like the sugar daddies and whatever this whites only candy is.
And the people are so upset about this woke remodeling that they're acting as if they said we can play space and dominoes at the table.
Now, I don't know about you, but I rather enjoy having the Confederate antiques spread throughout the stores, and that way they can stay away from our museums.
Now, I'm not sure who Uncle Herschel is, but I know he wouldn't have liked a New York strip or anything.
He hated the North.
This fall menu there launching is filled with more microaggressions than a corporate email.
Cracklebarrel, by the time Christmas gets here, you better have a candle that smells like racism, or they will riot.
Brewer tickets?
Sure.
What do you think?
Let's do it.
We've got tickets to the game coming up on Thursday, September 4th.
Okay.
All right.
All right, if you can go to that game and it's a three o'clock game, I believe.
Let's see, is that right?
Maybe you double check.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't.
Well, it does.
It matters if you're going to the game.
Okay.
Why don't you give us a call if you'd like to go to that game?
We got a pair of tickets up for grabs 6 0 8 8 7 9 8 2 5 5.
That's 6 0 8 8 7 9 8 2 5 5.
The game is the Brewers against the Philadelphia Phillies coming up on September 4th and courtesy of Downers Distilling.
Well, the cool thing is great folks there.
I
Good morning guys.
I am well.
How about you two
Yes, I am you are the winner Wow.
All right.
Just like that.
Where you calling from Charles?
Oh, oh kind of a walk.
I can knock him a walk.
Very good.
Yes.
All right.
Hang on the line here, Charles.
Yeah, congratulations.
Congrats.
That's he's he's going to the game brewers versus Phillies.
We'll be doing this again tomorrow and Thursday.
And also, Friday, we've got a different game for Friday.
OK?
All right.
All right.
I know we
We'll go to him in just a few moments here.
I want to get to one of the other stories that we have.
And this is the Trump administration has believed this or not.
halted construction on a nearly complete offshore wind project near Rhode Island.
This is so crazy.
I know.
It was like it's like 80% done, isn't it?
Something like that?
It's just weaponizing government or what?
Come on.
Huffington Post had this story.
The White House continues to attack the battered U.S.
offshore wind industry that scientists say is crucial.
Anyway, Danish farm developer Orsted says the Revolution Wind project is about 80% complete with 45 out of its 65 turbines already installed.
And despite that progress and the fact that the project had cleared years of federal and state reviews, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management issued the order saying that the federal government needs to review the project and address concerns related to the protection of national security interests of the United States.
In other words, DEI, they're not really sure
if we really need this DEI wind farm out in the water.
So I don't know.
Whatever happened, remember Trump addressed this a few times.
He said, we've got to have a balanced energy approach here, right?
Yeah.
This isn't balanced at all.
This is just getting rid.
I mean, it's there.
45 out of the 65 turbines are there working.
Right now.
Why would they do something?
Why would they call it into question?
Whose concerns are they?
Who are the people concerned about this?
The administration,
And then of course, you know, everybody's saying that, hey, we're paying to be a part of owners of Intel.
We paid into this.
And Trump keeps saying, no, no, this is free.
We paid zero to be a part of this, even though the government has paid $11 billion into funding and grants into Intel chips.
Okay, so.
Well,
Well, you know, you might be using more fossil fuels and that's where he wants to go as opposed to, you know, these, you
know,
solar.
But real quick to Don Jr.
and then one other thing.
Yeah.
He's probably suggesting that a real cracker gets put on there for a little.
This redistricting thing is driving me nuts too.
Somebody asked somebody over the weekend, I don't know, maybe it was Vance or some Republican anyhow.
Why is it in these ruby red states like Texas, you know, Missouri, Florida, that you need to do this in the first place?
I mean,
right,
you've already got it.
But then
This person went on and said something to the effect.
Uh, well, that's because of what happened the last time and made it sound like what the Democrats did.
The only thing is Trump was in power the last time they, you know,
right.
They're what that argument.
Nobody really called them on it.
They just, you know, kind of went along with
What
It's going with the family to Noah's Ark.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
It's going to be cold.
It's going to be cold.
It's not going to be bad by the weekend.
Let's, why don't we check in with our weather authority?
Brittany Merlot, she knows what's going on.
She's somebody right here.
WMDX meteorologist.
Brittany, you know, Dominus, whole family are going to the Dells this weekend.
What's the, what's the forecast for Saturday?
Should they wear wetsuits?
Yeah, I think we're gonna hit about 70 degrees today.
Colmar wins compared to the past few days.
We'll get a little slightly warmer tomorrow, mid-70s, but then overnight, a little chance for some sprinkles starts to push through, maybe a rumble of thunder.
because another cold front slides in.
So
They
Oh, it's fabulous.
Yeah, it's a thrill of minute.
Mini golf.
Once again, congratulate Charles of Milwaukee.
He was our ticket winner.
And again, you can listen during our seven o'clock hour.
Tomorrow, we'll have more tickets to give away.
That is for the September 4th game, Brewers and Phillies.
And it is all thanks to our friends at Doundrens Distilling.
That's Doundrens Distilling.
And we appreciate that.
OK.
We'll get to the flag burning thing at the bottom of the hour, about 7.35.
Let's get to something a little bit shorter.
I have JB Pritzker.
Oh yeah.
Great comment from him the other day yesterday.
Let's listen to cut 197 and hear what he has to say about the Trump administration.
Yeah.
Threatening to come to
Chicago.
Who would come to Chicago and try to incite my people into violence as a pretext for something darker and more dangerous.
We are watching and we are taking days.
Donald Trump has already shown himself to have little regard for the many acolytes.
that he has encouraged to commit crimes on his behalf.
You can delay justice for a time, but history shows you cannot prevent it from fighting you eventually.
If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me, not time or political security stance from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional law.
Yes.
I think the Democrats should at least start talking about it, going after the people that are actually breaking the laws.
Now, Trump can challenge everything in the courts that he wants to, but in the meantime, what they're doing is breaking the law.
And we should go after these people.
They have no excuse.
Oh, well, Trump told us to do it.
No, we're going after you.
If you want to do this, if you voluntarily love to do this and kisses ass, we're going after you and you're going to pay a price for it.
And I like JB Pritzker bringing that up.
Yes.
It's about time we start talking about it.
That will stop them or at least make them
and he decides who to free and who to blame.
Everybody won't be treated all the same.
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down when the man comes around.
Good morning.
I keep thinking, how can we humiliate the hell out of this stuff?
I think it should buy every can of silly string.
He can get his hands on and equip everybody on the streets with silly string.
They don't have to point it at them.
They just keep just randomly shooting it around the air and just groups and just drive them nuts.
right?
Right.
Yeah, I started out with party poppers and I thought, oh no, it might sound like a gunshot.
So my brain shifted to silly string.
Maybe late.
Let's hope it's not too late.
Well, I don't know.
President Trump has signed an executive order to mandate one full year in jail for protesters who burn the American flag, even though the Supreme Court ruled back in 1989.
The act is an expression of your First Amendment, right?
All right.
Now, the problem with that is the decision.
saying that that was okay, a First Amendment right, that was a 5-4 decision.
So pretty close.
Doesn't
Way too close for the Supreme Court that we have now in power.
And I've got this, this was a wisdom that I printed up.
I just thought this said it all right here.
The Supreme Court found Biden didn't have the authority as president to cut student loans without Congress.
Out of the other side of their mouth, they find Trump has the authority to cut the whole government and eliminate entire agencies unilaterally.
This court's function was to ensure everything Biden did was struck down as an abuse of authority, but now there isn't any, any hold on Trump.
This is the most compromised, partisan, and unethical Supreme Court in generations.
I thought it was a worthy thought.
right.
all that
Well, yeah.
We're
into it.
There you go.
All
Come on.
These are stupid people.
Anyway, there's no technical reason to end.
any of these missions that we have for the satellites.
No major failures or cost overruns.
The equipment is in space.
It's state of the art.
But the current US administration wants them gone.
This has no apparent reason other than just hiding climate data.
And according to the critics, it's illegal.
They can't do it.
But that doesn't stop them.
They'll still do it.
Take them down.
Why take them down?
Why not just leave them there, right?
These satellites are widely used by farmers.
The oil industry should be complaining about this.
And all the weather, the meteorology.
The Senate's drafted a 2026 budget explicitly rejects the Trump's administration's proposed earth science termination.
They don't want it.
Yet the White House is moving ahead with this whole thing.
And it's just outrageous to think.
that we would be doing this, something that doesn't necessarily have to be done.
And I think it's, again, owning the libs on this thing.
That's the
only reason
Yeah, I came in hot.
Yeah.
Well, you know, John, when you've had a long day like you had yesterday, we had a long day because we had to work, you know, last night.
Long day today, too.
Yeah.
You know, the last thing you want to do is make dinner, right?
Right.
I'm going somewhere with this.
All right.
Yeah.
See the script, I'm holding my hand.

Yeah, I wanted to get rid of climate science and predictions of all that.
Yeah.
I hope with the big hurricane season we're having these years, I hope that
You know, Trump is safely, you know, it's going in Mar-a-Lago and Ron Johnson is safely and scorned in his little estate in Florida as well.
And that the next hurricane comes through and just flattens both of
I
it is just...
apparently there's another one brewing out there.
There's going to be a whole series of
this year because of the warming ocean.
No, that's El Nino.
That's off South America.
somebody
listen.
intends to use the United States military against American citizens who simply disagree with him.
People he calls, quote, the enemy from within.
America, this is not a candidate for president who is thinking about how to make your life better.
This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge,
consumed with grievance and out for unchecked power.
he was
he also
Good morning.
Well, what's happening?
We've got a new exhibit on Dijon Mustard, and it's a gorgeous exhibit.
Admission is free, so there's never admission to the Mustard Museum.
So we want everyone to stand by and come visit the Mustard Museum.
Well, that's a Dijon Mustard.
We've got several Dijon Mustards, actual real Dijon Mustards.
And we also sing the Poupon U Fight Song.
yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Are you ready?
ahead.
Sing it.
Okay.
On our hot dogs, on our bratwurst mustard is so cool.
Never may oh never catch up there against the rules.
Cleaning gold and mellow yellow fight poop on you.
Fight.
Poop on you will fight and eat some lunch.
Wow.
Well, there are.
I mean, there's regular Dijon mustard, which is invented in France and is very popular in France.
But in terms of Dijon mustard,
There's many different styles of Dijon mustard.
And by the way, Dijon mustard does not have to be made in France.
So you could find Dijon mustard really all over the world.
Does
right?
Not necessarily.
Not necessarily because Dijon mustard is made from the brown seed.
or the similar to the brown seed and it does not have to have white wine.
So that's a misconception.
In the collection, we have over 7,000 different mustards.
It is mind-boggling, and we've been collecting them since 1986.
Well, we collect them
Don't
There is and we've been holding that since 1985
yes
or 1995 and
We invite mustard companies from all over the world.
This year we had mustards from Japan, from India, really from all over the world.
And they compete
in
18 different categories.
So mustard is not at all a one-dimensional condiment.
So we've got Dijon mustard, we've got American yellow mustard.
we've got deshawn mustard we've got uh... all kinds of mustard
uh...
in categories and then uh... every year there is a grand champion in the past uh... we've had uh... mustard from france but when the grand champion award we've had mustard from argentina uh... this year it was uh... with the mustard finland so mustard is universal
Well, it's made in Poland, obviously.
Is that really?
Oh,
yeah.
There are Polish mustard made in Poland.
And it's interesting because you can find so-called Polish mustard made in the US as well.
It's called Polish mustard.
But the company that owns it also makes German mustard.
And it's the same thing.
It depends on where it's sold.
If it's sold in German mustards, in German neighborhoods, it's called German mustard.
If it's called in Polish mustard, it's...
sold in Polish mustards, Polish neighborhoods.
Yeah, okay.
It does.
And there are great German mustards, and by the way, the word for mustard in Germany is sense, and it makes no sense to me, but... Okay.
All
It is.
So please come to the museum.
It's a non-profit and it's separate from the gift shop.
But everyone is welcome.
So come visit the Mustard Museum.
Mustardmuseum.org.
And it's in Middleton, Wisconsin.
the street from War Island.
That's right.
