Where We Used to Eat (Hour 1)
We take a little break from politics with Community Editor Christina Lorey as we review a story about the restaurant chains we used to love but have gone away. What do you miss? Chi Chi’s? Burger Chef? Big Boy? Can’t forget the ice cream cake roll at Howard Johnson’s! Also: President Biden’s American Rescue Plan continues to bring new investments in Wisconsin, as Gov. Tony Evers announces 35 new grants for libraries and community centers—with an emphasis on bridging the digital divide so everyone has good access to an internet connection. And we visit with Dan Hagen from WJFW-TV in Rhinelander.

Eric Hovde’s Foreign Deposits Problem (Hour 1)
California banker Eric Hovde has finally responded to concerns about foreign deposits with a hearty, “So what?” Literally. We’ll play the audio and explain why it matters that Wisconsin might have (another) US Senator using his position for personal financial gain. Plus, Cherita Booker reviews some of the more popular UpNorthNews social media posts of the past week.

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.

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.
