It’s Election Day. This Is Not a Drill. (Hour 1)
Because of an attempt by Republican legislators to sneak through a new way to grab power, today is about much more than a primary election for some legislative and congressional districts. Every Wisconsin voter should head to the polls today to send a message to a legislature to get back to work and stop playing political games with our state constitution.

Wall Street’s Version of a ‘Caravan’ (Hour 1)
Wall Street on Monday had a combination of a temper tantrum (interest rates) and a bubble bursting (tech stocks). It created the unsightly spectacle of some Republicans again cheering for a recession. Is this what’s replacing imaginary caravans from Mexico as a campaign tactic? Also Cherita Booker has some of our most popular social media posts and Christina Lorey has some uplifting stories you’ll find in our daily newsletter.

Hovde, Trump, and Creepy Crypto (Hour 1)
Senate candidate Eric Hovde and former President Trump have been talking up cryptocurrency. We try to figure out what game they’re playing—or wanting to play—with our tax dollars. Also: The Wisconsin State Fair opens this week and we’ll talk to Christina Lorey about the many stories we’ve done about State Fair food over the years. Cherita Booker reviews some of our most popular social media posts of the past week.

Angry White Guys Finally Catch a Break (Hour 1)
Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance brings nothing to the Donald Trump ticket: No experience. No swing states. No particular constituencies except white guys with grievances. But his comments about women, domestic violence, pregnancies and abortions give us an idea of where Trump wants to take the country if he wins in November.

Nixon’s Revenge (Hour 1)
We’ll react to how the Republican-appointed justices on the US Supreme Court have finally brought things full-circle—bringing back former President Richard Nixon’s famous line, “If the president does it, then it’s not illegal,” and making it the new law of the land.

Beach Bum (Hour 1)
It could be a matter of getting wires crossed. It could be a matter of mistaken identity. Or it could be that Eric Hovde chose to chill back home on Laguna Beach last weekend and skip a weekend event in Oconto. Also: Cherita Booker has our most popular social media posts.

Eric Hovde Said What? Part Infinity. (1st Hour)
We regret to inform you that Eric Hovde has said even more questionable things over the past few years than previously thought. We’ll report on 2017 comments belittling Native Americans in order to try to make a point about what he thinks is socialism. Also, Luke Mathers pinch-hits for Greg, picking up on his love for Top Chef-Wisconsin and discussing the many uses for a cast iron skillet. Plus, a round up of what is trending on the social media accounts for UpNorthNews with Cherita Booker.

Dead Lobster (Hour 1)
Red Lobster wasn’t killed by an Endless Shrimp promotion. It was old-fashioned vulture capitalism. Plus we’ll play some of the sound bites from last weekend’s Republican state convention that show a disconnect with mainstream values—and facts.

Love That Dirty Water (Hour 1)
Republicans are returning to the state Capitol on Tuesday—but not to release more than $125 million to clean up polluted drinking water supplies around Wisconsin. Instead, they’ll hold symbolic votes designed for their campaign literature. Also, Donald Trump again falls asleep in his hush money election interference trial. So national media will start talking about his advanced age now, right? Right?

The Life of a Hot Dogger (Hour 1)
UpNorthNews Community Editor Christina Lorey has always had a soft spot for features about the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. She’s taken her interest to a new level and tells us all about meeting one of the “hotdoggers” who serve as ambassadors and navigators of that 27-foot long motorized frankfurter! We’ll also learn which stories saw the most traffic last week from UpNorthNews Social Media Manager Cherita Booker.
