across Wisconsin on the civic media radio network and streaming worldwide on the civic media app.

Good afternoon, everybody.

Todd Alba, along with Mr. Aaron Zommers, our producer and engineer.

It is the ninth of July, 2025.

It is Wednesday.

It is a great day to be Wisconsinite.

And it is pump day.

There you go.

The old camel has made it into the mid part of the week.

It feels like a Friday because I'm looking forward in nervous anticipation to our shows tomorrow and Friday at the fair.

The Northern Wisconsin State Fair in Chippewa Falls gonna be there.

Nobody knows this fair better than Pat Krightlow.

Very excited to have him.

Gonna have some local folks from the area as well.

Rusty Volk, the fair director, is gonna kick off the show tomorrow.

Number one, he's extraordinarily knowledgeable about the fair.

Number two, he knows the fair and is passionate about it.

And number three, he's just a funny guy.

That's a great combination of a guest.

So looking forward to having Rusty Volk, the fair director of the Northern Wisconsin State Fair on with Patrick and myself tomorrow.

Join us tomorrow and Friday for the entire show as we come to you live from the fair.

Talking about tax on tips last hour and the fact that

There's no tax on tips.

Number one, it's not going to apply to everybody because there's income restrictions on this.

And number two, the way that the Republicans passed this and Trump signed it into law is it expires after 2028.

So it might not be an effect at all after they get your vote.

Heather in beautiful Eau Claire on Facebook watching says, or if Dems are elected to the next cycle,

It disappears, and they blame the Dems.

In other words, she's absolutely right.

So if Dems take the House in the midterm elections, but the Senate Republicans say, no, we're not going to go along with that, or Trump says, I'm not going to go along with that, then they're going to say, well,

see,

look, you elected Democrats to the House representatives, and there's no tax on tips disappeared.

It's all Democrats fault.

But of course it isn't.

Because they set it up that way the Republicans It's just it's frustrating because it's so politically good In other words the outcome is terrible, but the way they set it up for political messaging is unfortunately brilliant It's dirty politics and that's why you have to stay informed and know what the heck

We're doing here.

All right.

So no tasks on tips and we'll we'll keep following this as we as we move along here What else amers do we do?

We got what's worse coming up here in a bit.

We've got other things to talk about We got speaking of the of the Trumpster.

He was he was talking about this is real gold leafing gold leafing on the On the

cabinet meeting

today yesterday.

Yeah, yesterday

or in my bed yesterday.

Yeah, absolutely.

What's

Let's wait on that.

Let's bring a little state news here before we do what's worse.

This is for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Molly Beck, great reporter at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, says we have a new contestant, not on the price is right, but who wants to be governor?

Republican Bill Breen.

A Navy SEAL veteran and manufacturer CEO of Whitefish Bay launched a campaign for Governor of Wisconsin today comparing himself to President Donald Trump as a political outsider.

Marine CEO of Pendle Global Precision and Liberty Precision in New Berlin

joins Washington County Executive Josh Showman in the 2026 Republican primary field for governor.

Quote, bureaucrats and politicians like Tony Evers have failed Wisconsin.

Unquote, Breen said in a statement provided to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

And it goes on with just more ridiculousness from there.

I'm just not gonna read it because it's nonsense.

I'm not I'm not blaming the Gerald Sentinel, by the way, they're just reporting what what this guy put in his in his statement.

Barina is 56 years old is launching his campaign without knowing who his political opponent in the general election might be.

Governor Tony Evers has yet to announce whether he'll seek a third term, though the Democratic governor said a decision will likely be made yet this month.

Even so, Boreen targets Evers in a new ad.

He takes aim at recent guidance Evers issued to state workers over visits from ICE officers and vetoing legislation that blocks transgender students from participating in girl sports.

So here we go.

Here we go.

Yeah, I mean, let's just cut right to the chase.

This Boreen guy, what's his name?

Bill Boreen?

Uh, it's more of the same.

It's right out of the old, uh, uh, transphobic, anti-LGBTQ, uh, go after the brown people playbook.

It's just, it's sick.

This isn't, this guy isn't going to run on...

Hey, I have a difference with Democrats on economic policy.

I think that we should be taxing less.

I think there should be smaller government.

I think that, you know, we should look at our school.

No, no, no.

This guy is launching a campaign for governor of the state of Wisconsin on the issue of ICE officers.

and blocking an Evers vetoing legislation that would have blocked transgender students from participating in girl sports.

As we've talked in this program before, this issue of transgender students participating in sports is a non-issue in terms of a political issue in this state.

At last check, according to the WIAA,

There were six, one, two, three, four, five, six transgender athletes in all of Wisconsin.

It's just not a thing.

But yet the Republicans want to play on our fears, on division, and make it a thing.

I mean, think how small this guy has to be, Ben Bilberine.

And again, just like Derek Van Orton, he tried to play the tough guy here, well, I'm a Navy SEAL.

And by the way, nobody has more respect for actual Navy SEALs than me.

Had the privilege and honor of working with our military and veterans when I worked in the congressional office for five years.

But why is it that these guys, Derek Van Orton and this Bill Boreen, they lead with that, and at least in Derek Van Orton's case,

He has yet to have one of his former colleagues or Navy SEALs who served with him stand next to him.

And that continues to be my question.

Look at guys like John McCain.

He had people that served with him in the Navy.

People who are in the Hanoi Hilton with him stand next to him on a stage.

With their open military records and say we proudly serve John McCain.

He's a stand-up guy now.

You might disagree with John McCain politically But you couldn't deny that his military service was exemplary and he was an American hero But guys like Derek van Orten is Bill Breen they they do a disservice to Navy SEALs they do a disservice to our men and women in uniform because they take advantage of it and they run on things that

Very few of anybody in uniforms fighting for Nobody that I've ever met in the military Is is talking about yeah, I put my life on the line in Afghanistan I put my life on the line in Vietnam.

I put my life on the line Korea I put my life on the line the few World War two veterans we have left So that

People could go after the six transgender athletes that are high schools in Wisconsin.

Boy, that's what I want to die for.

Nobody's doing that.

But these guys, these yahoo's, Bill Boreen and Derek Fedor, like, this is what they want to make it about.

And they want to scare the bejesus out of you and me and pit neighbor against neighbor.

They don't know what they're doing.

They don't know about the best of Wisconsin.

I don't care whether it's Tony Evers or Jim Doyle, two Democrats, or Tommy Thompson, a Republican.

And yes, I've called out former Governor Thompson many times on this show for his current support of Trump.

I think it's sad.

But if you look at what Tommy Thompson did as governor, when he ran for governor, I was...

I was a lot of those campaign events.

Tommy Thompson never went after transgender people.

He never went after immigrants in this country.

He talked about the fact that his, his, he had, he had failed the immigrated here.

They talked about the best of Wisconsin.

So I just ask you to consider rejecting guys like Bill Breen and Derek Van Orton because they're the worst

of what Wisconsin has to offer.

And they should be soundly rejected.

It's 17 past the hour of three o'clock.

Let's have a little fun.

Time once again for what's worse.

Let's go.

Time once again for what's worse.

Nothing to give away, no prize, nobody involved.

It's your chance to have your voice heard across.

Most of our 11 news talk and sports stations because the Brewers game I think is still going on summer is that so I believe that's true We'll try to give you a scoring update here, but on the ones that are not carrying the Brewers game right now Top of the seventh top of the seventh I can tell you and the LA Dodgers up two to one

So tight game top of the seventh at am fam field.

You can listen to that game on many of our stations across this network for the rest of you time once again for what's worse?

This is a pizza edition a pizza edition.

What's worse?

Domino's or Papa John's Domino's or Papa John's eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five two four eight four two

Give us a Ring a Ring.

We'd love to hear from you.

Before we get into, I guess what's worse, Joe, one of our great listeners in the Madison area to be MDX.

Joe, you wanted to comment on Derek Van Orton before we get into the lighter side of things here.

You got about a minute and a half.

It's all yours.

Go

ahead.

Yeah.

Take a look at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel today.

They had an article about a dear Mr. Van Orton, who currently is claiming credit for getting additional dollars toward Medicaid in Wisconsin.

big old liar boy is lying again.

But Governor Evers disputes that.

He said that the budget was already set before Van Orton was making his desperate calls because he voted against it on the federal level.

And now he's saying that he was key to getting it on the state level.

What a stinking liar.

He said in the article, he said, I played a key role.

I urged him to sign it.

What a liar, what a grandiose, egotistical, all about him liar.

And it's just, you know, Tony Evers is not the sort that goes tangling.

And for the governor's office to say, no, that did not happen.

I don't know.

I mean, it's just one more and one more in a long line of this liar boys continual lies.

So I appreciate it, Joe.

You can say a key role, people.

Thanks.

Thanks, Joe.

I appreciate the call.

We talked about it a little bit with Pat Krightlow at the top of the show, article in the Huffington Post on that as well, but I always appreciate Joe calling in.

It's in the internal sentinel as well.

Domino's

any particular reason

I Think it's the crust

Really?

You don't like the Domino's crust?

All

right.

I think it's like mass produced, kind of not the greatest crust.

So, you know, and I know somebody that delivers for him too, and he's not happy with it.

Really?

So he delivers, but

yet he doesn't like

the Domino's pizza.

No, he likes any other company's pizza, you know, better.

But he's

got a job, so he's got to pay the bills, so he does it anyway.

Yeah, yeah.

Also, you know, I wanted to mention, you know, when you're talking about that military action as a candidate.

Yeah,

yeah.

There was a

time of Nixon, McGovern.

He never spoke much about his military experience.

And I think, you know, he was trying to get Nixon maybe to talk about it, but it would have worked against him because he was a pilot.

The second world war and I think Richard was like, you know administration or something in the service

Hey, thanks, right.

I appreciate.

Yeah.

Thank you, Rick I always appreciate the the call there and remember it's colder than a winter in the winter than it is the country 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 what's worse dominoes or Papa John's

You also text us on the Civic Media app like Matt in Milton says Domino's hasn't closed a restaurant in Middleton Has not closed a restaurant in Middleton due to a Roche infestation.

Oh Like Papa John's.

Oh, wow.

I did not know that so they're definitely worse Wow, that's that's That ain't good at all when you have to close due to a Roche infestation

My mom and I are watching one of these home shows on Home and Garden and they have like a version down south somewhere where these they buy like an old home and renovate it and they counted like eight roaches on the floor one one room and I said like if there's eight roaches on the floor There's a hundred and eight in the wall.

Oh,

yeah, for sure.

No, you don't want that at all.

What's worse Domino's or

Papa John's our own Jenny watching on YouTube says frozen pizza is a sacred institution in Wisconsin choosing between Domino's or Papa John's betrayal Good point Jenny.

I think didn't didn't Jane and Greg do this one time the favorite frozen pizza or maybe so maybe it was Schwabba I was Schwabba one night on nightlight He had Conrad did this and and talk they were talking about who was the best frozen pizza.

Yeah, it was nightlight

And I think it's Park Street.

I know the label.

I think it's Park Street in like Beaver Dam is the one I buy at Metcalf's

here.

It's really, really good.

Wisconsin is definitely the frozen pizza capital of America, not the frozen pizza capital of the world.

I actually watched a big video essay that did tons of research on the...

You did,

really?

Yeah.

We certainly are the greatest creators of frozen pizza, but I can't remember what country.

I think it was like...

Norway or something eats the most frozen pizza, but

they

only barely beat out Wisconsin Most Norwegians look up

look at them the frozen pizza DJ while listening in Warsaw on WXCO says Papa John's is way worse I don't spend my hard earned dollars on companies formerly run by right wing conspiracy theorists.

Oh, yeah

That's that's there's that whole there's

deep deep rabbit.

That's a deep.

That's a deep dish right there Len in Madison on WM DX is not sure what's worse regarding

Domino's or Papa John's.

But what's better is to be is to pop a cold one.

Oh, I like that.

That's that's nice play on words there.

I enjoy that.

Well, so we have Dave in New Berlin says, I don't think either is bad.

I'm forced to say Domino's is worse because given the option, I'll get Papa John's every time.

AJ in Madison and WMDX just says they both suck.

Sorry.

I don't know I think that I you know again Independent what you're hankering for I have not had very many Papa John's pizzas.

In fact, I think I've been there once I don't know that and I got this confused earlier by the way

Zomers is like who wrote this liner for today for this bit.

I said me why cuz I I literally thought we were doing Papa Murphy's Yeah, they

aren't they're not the

same not the same at all Papa's yeah, all right Don't forget who is your daddy?

We'll sort all this out more news straight ahead talk about a film and television Hollywood's coming to Wisconsin after this on the civic media ready to pursuing truth wherever it may be

I'll come back to the title ball show on the civic media, ready to work.

Glad to have you along.

Aaron Zommers behind the board here in our last half hour together on a Wednesday, July 9th, 20, 25, 35 past three.

Glad to have you here on a Wednesday again, up in the Northern Wisconsin State Fair tomorrow, along with Pat Crite.

I'm looking forward to a nervous anticipation to that can not wait.

So be joining us tomorrow.

Got to get into a little bit of a film talk.

New film office haven't seen a Wisconsin film and television office since the days of Tommy George Thompson in the governor's office Gonna talk about that in a minute, but first I just want to clean up a couple of things in aisle two In terms of news Talks a little bit yesterday about immigration.

I don't want to repeat all of that Give you my feelings on that

But here now and this I found this clip and I want to play it for you today.

I think this is from yesterday and This is the Attorney General of Arizona Chris Mays Chris Mays Attorney General of Arizona holding a press conference and was asked about these Ice Homeland Security deportation details that are going around the country wreaking havoc

and they keep using these masks, basically gators.

A gator is a piece of cloth that goes around your neck, but it's like a tube and then they pull it up.

I mean, they're legit things that people use, I guess, when they hike or ski or something.

Yeah, it's a G-A-I-T-E-R,

not G-A-T-O-R.

Right, thank you, thank you, yes.

A piece of cloth gator, but now these ice people or people who claim to be ice, and I say that because it has been reported now that

Homeland security under Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are going after bounty hunters.

Bounty hunting is illegal in Wisconsin, places like Texas, other states.

There is a business.

There's a business for this.

It was like a reality show.

Wasn't there for a while?

Who is that guy?

I'm the dog.

Yeah.

The big, the dog.

That's right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

Dog the bounty hunter.

That was like big on cable, I think, for a while.

It was on a lot.

It was on way too much.

So what they're doing is they're finding these bounty hunters and they're paying them and this is just sick.

The Trump administration is paying these bounty hunters a thousand to fifteen hundred dollars per person to come in and to and to bring in undocumented people.

And so these people are using these gator masks because they're so ashamed and embarrassed about what they're doing.

They don't want people to know who they are.

They're claiming that oh, I'm gonna be doxxed.

I'm gonna be doxxed doxxed just means that It happens in the real world Such as like an elected official that somebody doesn't like They will they'll call in a quote-unquote emergency on 9-1-1 and give that legislature or elected officials home and then emergency people arrive and

I guess that's swatting technically and there's no real emergency or they'll give out personal information and the person gets swamped with, you know, harassed, basically.

That's their claim.

Well, it's it's not really happening.

They're just embarrassed because they're going after brown people.

Many of who have been arrested are American citizens.

So Attorney General of Arizona, Chris Mayers, Mays, pardon me.

was asked about.

Now here I'm playing this because this is what you want in an attorney general.

She ain't taken anything from anybody.

She puts it out there.

This is great.

This is Attorney General Chris Mays of Arizona.

I am really disturbed by the tactics that we are seeing in some other states, including the one to our West, by ICE and Border Patrol,

and others to mask themselves when they're engaged in immigration enforcement.

I have expressed that dissatisfaction already to ICE.

I have told them I don't want to see it in the state of Arizona.

And I have told them and reminded them that pretty much no other law enforcement agencies in the state of Arizona, including mine, mask themselves

when they are engaged in law enforcement.

Now, there are certain undercover operations where masking is necessary, but it is extremely rare, extremely rare.

And what law enforcement tells me, both in this building and outside this building, is that it is a dangerous situation.

Yeah, I had a conversation with them a couple weeks back and didn't get anywhere.

I mean, they just said, uh, that that's their policy, that, uh, they're afraid of doxing.

And I told them, I thought that was bullshit.

Now that's putting it down there where the chickens can get at it.

She just flat out says what homeland security in ICE is telling me is BS.

BS period.

Think that's great.

That's the kind of attorney general you need somebody who is not afraid somebody who's gonna call a spade a spade and say this is what's really going on and it's ridiculous kudos applause to to attorney general Chris Mays of Arizona That's real leadership right there and I applaud her for that in other news before we move on and this is from the

It never ceases to amaze me column Donald Trump held a So-called cabinet meeting I say so called because it's basically it's like Kim Jong-un He just has people sit around the table and say how great he is And so he had one of these yesterday had the press there and he got off on this tangent.

This is the president I say people are missing in Texas still due to these terrible floods have died

You've got tariffs out of control now.

Donald Trump wants to sit there and talk about the moldings in the cabinet room.

This is real, unedited, yesterday from Donald Trump.

I painted the room a nice color, beige color, and it's been really something.

The only question is, will I gold leaf?

The corners, you could maybe tell me my capita could take a vote.

You see the top-line moldings.

And the only question is, do you go and live it?

Because you can't paint it.

If you paint it, it won't look good because they've never found a paint that looks like gold.

You see that in the Oval Office.

They've tried for years and years.

Somebody could become very wealthy.

But they've never found a paint that looks like gold.

So painting it is easy, but it won't look right.

And the question is whether or not we should go and leave it.

Does any, Linda, do you have an opinion?

You like it the way you'd go and leave it.

Who would go and leave it?

Could I raise you?

How about would you go and leave it?

He is asking the cabinet, full bird secretaries of government agencies to take a vote on whether they think he ought to go and leave the crown moldings in the cabinet room of the White House.

My favorite part is that since it's a video, you can see Marco Rubio sitting to Trump's right, just trying to keep a straight

face

and pretend life isn't real.

And Pete Hegseth sitting to his left, like smiling and trying not to smile too big.

When Pete Hegseth thinks you're an idiot, you've really gone off the rails.

And we, I think we talked about this a few weeks ago, that all of this glam that he's put up Trump has in the Oval Office, someone found the exact.

molding from I was in the Walmart or Home Depot, you know, you go to like the Home Depot and you go and they have like prefab, some are plastic, some are, or whatever, but they're plaster or plastic.

And someone found one of these, they're Walmart or Home Depot, I can't remember which, that's plastic.

And so clearly he took plastic or as people did and spray painted it gold.

And that's what he's put up in the White House in the Oval Office.

And he claims that that's actually gold leaf.

This guy is the grifter of all grifters, the frauds of all frauds, the facade of all facades.

And it just never ceases to amaze me.

I don't play a lot of Trump clips anymore, but I thought that one in particular.

When I heard that, I'm just like, what do people around the world think?

What what does the what is the prime minister of of the UK?

I think president of France long

ago.

Honestly.

Oh, yeah, right, but it's just This is the president of the United States and again when Barack Obama was president and he had the audacity to wear a tan suit Republicans went apoplectic

Out of the disrespect in their opinion that he showed by wearing a tan suit And this guy Trump is holding cabinet meetings on the crown moldings of the White House You can't make this stuff up folks you just simply

Can up 45 minutes now past the hour of three o'clock.

You're listening to the all ball show on the Civic Media Network.

Glad to have you along.

Closer to home.

Here we go.

Lighten it up a little bit.

This is from Fox six in Milwaukee.

Wisconsin State budget passes new film and television incentives.

Now this is great.

It says what we know.

Governor Tony Evers signed the state budget for the 25, 27 years, by nearly years into law last week, and it could be a game changer for filmmakers.

Now, I can't wait to hear what our friend Pete Schwabba says about this on Nightlight.

He is a filmmaker himself.

Most television shows and movies are filmed in California.

California.

Georgia, people don't know that Atlanta has a big film industry now.

or outside the country, often due to tax incentives and diverse locations.

But now, more television and movies shoot could, keyword could, soon be on the way to the Badger estate.

When Evers signed the budget last week and included a victory for Wisconsin filmmakers, it established a state film office within the Wisconsin Department of Tourism.

and launched a $5 million tax incentive program for film and television productions to be shot in the state.

It received bipartisan support before the governor signed it into law.

Nathan Deming is a writer and director based in Eau Claire in Los Angeles.

Said, quote, it was kind of like a movie in the way it played out.

It was out of the budget.

It was back in the budget.

We're just at this historical moment, basically, where the jobs are leaving Hollywood and they're going around the globe, wherever these tax incentives are, unquote.

While working on his own projects, he advocated for this change.

Deming said, quote, when productions come to town, they spend a lot of money.

Locals are happy.

Local businesses are happy, unquote.

Before the budget was signed, advocates say Wisconsin was one of 13 states

without film incentives and one of three without a state film office.

Advocates say it put filmmakers in Wisconsin at a disadvantage.

Susan Jerva has created, helped create Oscar-winning films seen by millions around the globe.

She believes the funding for the incentives will be available in January of next year and said it will not be a handout.

Jerva said, quote, we need to stay competitive.

What a film office does, it's the first touch and look for producers, studios, directors, when they're trying to find a place to shoot their film."

Again, some of us have been around long enough.

Tommy Thompson, the legislature back in the late 80s, 90s, created a film office and that it was eventually the new Breedacat Republicans that killed it and defunded it.

So now,

They're bringing it back.

Good on Governor Evers.

Good on the bipartisan support in the legislature.

Come on back.

Wrap things after this on

the Civic Media.

Welcome back to the title ball show on the civic media radio network glad to have you along eight minutes before the hour of four o'clock at the top of the hour ABC CPS or James Kelly news depending upon which for great stations you're listening to followed by a check of weather and Then it's Mike Clemens with a sports reporter great sports reporter Mike Clemens at last check the Brewers were still trailing the LA Dodgers is now the top of the ninth Dodgers to

Milwaukee one gotta get a run guys here in the ninth inning that game on many of our civic media stations right now Around the state of Wisconsin and then coming up after the sports report.

Great folks up there.

Appreciate everything Pete and Conrad are doing.

And you can listen to their show tonight between six and eight.

Speaking of entertainment, right?

That's always fantastic.

I'm sure he'll be talking about the film though.

Yeah, very likely to do so.

We shall see.

Back on this, we were talking about this gold leafing cut from President Trump.

debating whether to put gold leaf in the Oval Office.

Heather watching up in beautiful Eau Claire says, because I said that they've been proven now that Trump basically took a cheap plastic or plaster mold into this ornate stuff that looks ornate in the Oval Office and they just spray painted it.

Heather says, but he said there is no paint that looks like gold.

I can't even.

And Miss Linda up in Richland Center listening to the RCE of via Facebook says Frank Lloyd Wright use gold leaf paint.

It's very expensive.

Oh, I did that key there.

It does exist.

Right.

Right.

But what we're talking about here is actual gold leaf pay like gold leafy.

What Trump is doing, they're just taking spray paint and spray it on.

It's a fraud, I tell you.

I mean, when you mentioned this earlier.

Our friend and colleague Jane Mattener and Greg Bach by the way speaking of trips We're doing our show tomorrow from the North Wisconsin State Fair tomorrow and Friday But next week hang on to your hats and hallelujah Mama Jane is gonna do it to you It's a paraphrase of a line from gypsy Great musical gypsy gonna be singing a lot of show tunes with Jane and Greg and I were hitting the road

Cannot wait for that.

Jane and Greg, we're talking about this.

I said earlier about the TSA news.

Never let it be said that one person cannot make a difference.

Case in point, Richard Reed.

In 2001, Mr. Reed put explosives in his shoes and boarded an American airline flight from Paris to Miami.

Reed's attempt at terrorism failed.

But thanks to him, for 20 years,

We've had to remove our shoes to get through airport security.

But now the Transportation Security Administration, better known as TSA, plans to let us keep our shoes and go through security.

The policy change will take effect at major airports first before being extended to all airports.

However, if there's a metal in your shoes and it triggers the magnometer, you're still going to have to take them off.

Meanwhile, Richard Reid is cooling his heels doing a life sentence in a federal prison in Colorado.

How about that?

One idiot like Richard Reid tries to do explosives and for 20 years, we've had to take off our shoes.

So that's, it's the little things in life.

You understand?

It's the little things if we don't, because it's uncomfortable and then some people have.

bad socks and smelly.

And it's always, you know, I always feel like you have to rush putting them back on and you don't want to hold up the traffic or the line or what have you.

So anyway, that's, that's, that's what we got in, in foot

news today.
