Maggie Daun critiques Trump's proposed tariffs as 'foolish economics' that could harm the middle class, particularly in Wisconsin's manufacturing sectors like automotive and construction. Alongside Civic Media’s Political Editor Dan Shafer, she discusses potential consequences such as rising gas prices and a trade conflict with Mexico and Canada, comparing these to NAFTA's impact on American politics and manufacturing, and suggesting Biden's policies may have better served the Midwest.

They also assess the GOP's stance on education funding, noting Assembly Speaker Robin Voss's dismissal of the need for increased investment, which they argue neglects rural schools and exacerbates disparities. Maggie reflects on a racial justice conference, emphasizing the ongoing fight for economic and racial equity amid political challenges.
