Don’t ‘Both Sides’ a Nazi Salute (Hour 2)
January 24, 2025
If ever there were a topic in the news that cried out for not treating it with typical “both sides” coverage, couldn’t we agree making a Nazi salute is one of them? And yet that’s what media outlets are doing after a Milwaukee TV meteorologist rightly called out Elon Musk for a gesture that, at its best, was Nazi-adjacent. We’ll talk to Mark Jacob and Jennifer Schulze about this week’s media coverage of the news, as well as former US Attorney Jim Santelle, who will react to the warrantless raids being done on immigrant laborers—as well as President Trump’s order for US Attorneys to investigate local officials.

The Longest Season (2nd Hour)
Both President Biden and former President Trump have clinched their party’s nominations after this week’s primaries—and in Madison, Republicans have sent the Legislature home for good. That means campaign season is officially here. We’ll talk to Sen. Jeff Smith and legislative candidate Ann Roe about the things they’ll be saying to voters over the next 236 days.
Mr. Smith Explains Shared Revenue (Hour 2)
It shouldn’t be this hard for the Wisconsin Legislature to share tax revenue with local governments so that important services can take place. Unfortunately, a power-hungry Republican majority has been strangling local budgets and interfering with local decision-making. Democratic state Sen. Jeff Smith, who was previously a town chairman, offers perspective on what’s gone wrong and the best way to make it right. Also: Terry Bell with ‘3 Things to Know’ to start the week.

Surplus Scenarios (Hour 2)
A new report shows just how much the state budget surplus has grown… and all of the good things that can be done, if certain politicians will start acting like grown-ups. State Sen. Jeff Smith will help us look at the many ways legislators could get a win-win, if cooler heads prevail.
Plus: Brett Favre no longer has to pay back a million dollars to the state of Mississippi. Instead, they now want $5 million returned, as the investigation continues of a scam involving welfare dollars being used to build a sports facility.
Guests: Sen. Jeff Smith
