Todd has the day off, so our friend Luke Mathers has stepped in to host today’s show! After a brief tangent on this year’s Summer Olympics, he covers the latest political news. Yesterday, former President Donald Trump attended a conference with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ). Ultimately, they asked fair questions, and Trump refused to answer them directly. The event ended early as soon as Project 2025 was mentioned. Luke provides his perspective. 

At the bottom of the hour, Nick Ramos returns to the show! As the Executive Director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, he has his finger on the pulse of politics. Also, as a Black man, he has a lot to say about Trump’s remarks at yesterday’s NABJ conference. Donald Trump now claims that Kamala Harris used to be Indian and has now “turned black.” Nick Ramos contends that either the former President is gaslighting, having memory issues, or both. 

Afterward, Nick and Luke talk about Wisconsin’s upcoming primary election on Tuesday, August 13th. Early in-person voting has already begun! Visit myvote.wi.gov or civicmedia.us/vote to make your plan to be a voter. Nick tells us all about what’s on the ballot and why it’s important to vote NO to both constitutional referendums.
