A Select Few Holding Up Everything (Hour 2)
In the second hour...does Fox News have NOTHING to talk about, because apparently the major points of ire are camo and the fact Kamala Harris can cook. Not policy disagreements or even a congressional investigations, but camo and cooking. Then Sachin Chheda from the Department of Public Instruction joins the show to talk about necessary funding for our kids that's being held up by a few. Finally it's time for a big Olympics wrap up and we are feeling all patriotic about it.

Fair Maps, Fair Expectations (Hour 2)
Progressives are understandably excited for Janet Protasiewicz to be sworn in as a justice on August 1, a move that will tip the state Supreme Court to liberal control for the first time in more than 15 years. But a longtime advocate for ending gerrymandered political maps in Wisconsin wants to make sure people understand things like rigged maps and an 1849 abortion ban won’t be fixed in an instant. Plus media coverage of the latest discovery about corruption in the US Supreme Court.
Vos Wants to Violate Victims (Hour 2)
Rebecca Cooke, the once and maybe future candidate for Congress, describes what rural Wisconsin needs from its new congressional and legislative members—and whether we can expect to see any such progress. We also hear from Sachin Chheda, a senior advisor to a Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate, on how the billionaires who funded Ron Johnson’s reelection are looking to do the same for a right-wing former justice. Plus: an even higher state budget surplus, and an attempt to get on board with the World Cup.
