Chuck Chvala
Flip Flops, Weirdos, and Liars
Today, Crute provides two pieces of advice to us: don't wear flip flops, and don't be a weirdo. Lately, Democratic messaging has shifted to highlight just how freaking weird MAGA people are. Between Trump's rants on Hannibal Lecter and J.D. Vance's bizarre ideas about women and children, we have some real strange folks vying for control of the country. However, they're not just weird. They're dangerous, and Dom and Crute lay out the reasons why.
At the bottom of the hour, former Wisconsin State Senate Majority Leader Chuck Chvala joins us to talk about some important referendums on the upcoming primary ballot. He also shares some stories of just how weird MAGA Republicans can be.

Beauty and the Beast
Chuck Chvala sticks with the Devils through the hour to continue breaking down the new legislative maps. But before we get there, a bit of breaking news: SCOTUS has ruled that Trump will be on the ballot for the 2024 presidential election. Crute says that this is a good call, and of course he has to gloat a little bit, as he did see this coming.
While the SCOTUS ruling was expected, at least by Crute, the new maps bring a new day to Wisconsin says Chvala. Over in Dom's neck of the woods in Milwaukee, Democrats may finally be able to take some Senate seats away from the Democrats. Those WOW counties that have been Walkerland for years now? They're starting to become more and more blue. And with the new maps, at least one of those areas might even turn Blue in the next election.
Turning to the national news of the day, while today's SCOTUS ruling was expected, it is still concerning. When the conservative justices go so far that they lose Barrett, you know they're going too far. Let's just hope they have a bit more integrity when they take up the absolute immunity case...
Oh, and did you hear? Nikki Haley finally won a primary! Right in the highly-sought after District of Columbia! Don't look at the only 2000 people who actually voted in that race though... surly she can keep this momentum into Super Tuesday!

The Power Of Cheese
For today's Wisconsin power hour, Crute shares some reporting by Molly Beck of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on the fake elector scheme. Jim Troupis and Ken Chesebro are not done astonishing us. Andrew Hitt may be playing dumb, but Chesebro is too busy perjuring himself to follow that lead.
At the bottom of the hour, Crute is joined by former Wisconsin Democratic Leader Chuck Chvala! He and Crute talk about the development of Donald Trump's authoritarianism and its Wisconsin connections.
