Pat and Trygve Talk Spelunking (Hour 1)
Today, Todd is spending some time at a family gathering, so for our first hour, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project step in to guest host! They start off the show with a conversation about the Trump Administration’s proposal. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson has stood staunchly opposed to this bill, but over the weekend, he caved in. Pat and Trygve talk about how Republicans who don’t quite align with MAGA are acting around the nation. Some, like Senator Ron Johnson, are talking a big game and caving in behind closed doors. Others who actually fight substantively against the MAGA agenda find themselves pushed out of office.
At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys joins us again for another weekly check-in on the state budget and other important happenings in the Capitol.
