Living in an era where the MAGA far right can’t stop drifting further to the right, Wisconsin has a candidate for governor with a position on public safety that puts a sickening spin on the old Oprah Winfrey line: “You get a gun! And you get a gun! And you get a gun!” We’ll review Bill Berrien’s idea to eliminate permits and encourage flooding the streets with concealed weapons. Also, Sean O’Malley talks about the state of the U.S. economy, even relating the state of the current beef population and prices to the free George Webb hamburgers.
