On the day after Mothers’ Day, Todd reminds us that it’s important to spend some time face-to-face with the people we care about. 

As ABC broke over the weekend, Qatar is giving the Trump administration a brand-new “palace in the sky” airplane to serve as Air Force One. After Trump’s term as President ends, the aircraft would be set aside for his personal use. This gift appears to clearly violate the constitutional rules on accepting what could be considered bribes. In addition to corruption, using a foreign-built plane for the President opens our nation up to incredible security risks. 

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys joins us in-studio to talk about our state budget and why it matters to all Wisconsinites. GOP representatives in our state, such as State Senator Howard Marklein, appear to be refusing to advocate for their constituents as they face massive cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. When asked about budget cuts like these, Sen. Marklein either feigns ignorance or claims he has no power to help people despite his position as Co-Chair of the Joint Finance Committee.
