Artificial Intelligence, Real Stupidity (Hour 2)
There have been a lot of discussions in newsrooms about how Artificial Intelligence can either supplement reporting or undermine credibility. A Chicago newspaper learned the hard way just how badly AI can be set up to report stories that seem to be written by humans, only to discover the published product was an embarrassing work of fiction.

Fascist But Fashionable? (Hour 2)
Please do not try to parody the New York Times. It is no longer possible. Its 100-day coverage of the Trump White House concludes with a review of the administration’s “style, an administration where looking the part is crucial to playing the part.” We’ll try to find the nuggets amidst this week’s sludge of national media coverage from our regular Week In Review panel.

A Modern Day Quisling (Hour 2)
Hillary Clinton got it right in 2016 when she tried to warn Americans that Donald Trump would be a “Putin puppet” if elected. But perhaps the president has earned an even stronger title: Quisling. We’ll talk to our Week In Review panel about that and more. Plus an update on sentencing for a man in an Illinois parade shooting who nearly attempted the same mass murder in Wisconsin. And we’ll talk about the first round of the NFL Draft in Green Bay.

What A Week (Hour 2)
Each day brings its own challenges during this presidential administration, but the headlines today alone threaten to be overwhelming—with Trump cuts affecting public health, consumer protection, and the health of the oceans. We’ll go through it all with our Week In Review panel.

Nixon Was an Amateur (Hour 2)
We’re 50 years removed from Watergate, when Richard Nixon faced impeachment for trying to use the US Department of Justice to go after his political enemies. Now Donald Trump is weaponizing DoJ in ways that make Nixon look like an amateur. So we’ll ask our Week In Review panel if turnabout is fair play: Can we stop pretending that president’s cannot face criminal charges when they commit actual crimes? Also: Corrine Hendrickson has results of a statewide survey of childcare providers, showing the dire straits the industry is in—and could get worse if Republicans writing the next state budget leave them high and dry.

Toxic Toughness (Hour 2)
We’re having to endure an age where too many politicians have set aside the notion of service and solutions, choosing instead to base their ambitions on being perceived as “tough.” It’s led to a national security team incapable of accountability after a botched group text and a Wisconsin Legislature considering a bill that threatens to stuff our prisons, even when rehabilitation is a proven alternative. We’ll discuss those stories and more with our week-in-review panel.

The Crisis Is Looming? (Hour 2)
We hear a lot that a Constitutional crisis is looming, but with President Trump’s defiance of judges’ orders, aren’t we already there? We’ll talk to a former US Attorney as part of our week-in-review panel.

Brittany Kinser (Hour 2)
We have a conversation with Brittany Kinser about her campaign for state Superintendent of Public Instruction. As an advocate of charter and voucher schools, we’ll ask how she intends to have three things at once: strong public schools, taxpayer-supported private schools, and taxpayers who don’t mind paying for two systems. Also: Our week-in-review panel looks at how President Trump shows no sign of letting up on the steamroller that’s been wearing down national media and Senate Democratic leadership.

Trumps Ends Local Service Offices (Hour 2)
Step away for a moment from the big numbers about all the people President Trump is terminating. Look at the local level and you’ll see how your federal tax dollars help provide services through offices around the country. Trump and Elon Musk are closing more than a dozen such offices around our state. We’ll tell you what they do and how the guys who promised to make government more efficient are in the process of making much less efficient.
