All Eyes on Wisconsin and the State Supreme Court Races (Hour 1)
Earl invites Pat Dennis, President of American Bridge 21st Century, to discuss his lifelong commitment to helping others and the rising costs of state supreme court elections, which have surged to $30 million—more than double previous spending. Earl seeks Pat's thoughts on motivating apathetic voters. In response, Pat emphasizes the need to shift the political narrative to boost voter engagement. Meanwhile, the Republican Party aims to cut taxes for the wealthy and reduce healthcare funding by $800 million. Pat Dennis talks about Brad Schimmel who cut plea deals for child molesters and left 6000 rape kits untested and only 9 tested. At 8:30 AM, we welcome former Attorney General Eric Holder to talk about state government elections. Earl inquires how to motivate people who feel exhausted or frustrated with voting, emphasizing the need to keep fighting and not give up. The conversation then turns to Susan Crawford, with Eric Holder expressing his belief that she is the right person for the role, while he lacks confidence in Brad Schimmel.

What’s at stake? Damn near everything. (Hour 1)
Maggie starts off the show with a little light sports banter and bagging on athletes who've spurned Milwaukee. Then, it's down to business.
Former US Attorney General under President Barack Obama, Eric Holder, joins Maggie to talk voting rights and the stakes imposed by Project 2025. Sure, Trump says he won't implement p2025... He also chose the Heritage Foundation's protégé, JD Vance for a running mate. So let's take what he says with an enormous grain of salt.
Then, it sure sounds like change! Sara Spain, Director of Strategic Communications at EMILYs List joins Maggie. Young women between the ages of 18-45 show an overwhelming favoritism for the Harris-Walz ticket. Sara and Maggie dig into why young women support Kamala Harris so overwhelmingly. Support for Harris won't be enough though, y'all. We need to carry that momentum to candidates up and down the ballot to elect legislators who will protect reproductive and sexual health for all of us. Please, make sure to check your voter registration status and all that will be on your ballot. Make a plan and vote. It's your voice, your right, and your responsibility.
