We’ll be joined by our Friday regulars: Media critiques from “Stop the Presses” writer Mark Jacob, a review of this week’s Trump legal woes with former US Attorney Jim Santelle, and Dan Schumacher has an update on the future of Northland College and a preview of this weekend’s Brewers-Cubs series—the first one since Craig Counsell left to manage a division rival.

Supreme Disappointment (Hour 2)
There were landmark legal moments for the country this week—in two courtrooms—as former President Trump seeks unlimited powers from the US Supreme Court, while his business fraud trial centers on how the National Enquier engaged in actual “fake news” to help him win in 2016. We’ll cover all the bases with Mark Jacob (“Stop the Presses”) and former US Attorney Jim Santelle.

Trials and Trails (Hour 2)
While former President Trump is on trial, President Biden is on the campaign trail. We’ll talk to former US Attorney Jim Santelle about how a jury has been selected for Trump’s case of election interference via business fraud. And Mark Jacob will talk about the media being chastised for saying too much about the identity of jurors—and we’ll chastise some media ourselves for their Biden coverage this week.
Stepping In It (Hour 2)
Nobody asked Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde to publicly assert (more than once!) that nursing home residents are likely to die soon, so they shouldn’t necessarily be helped with voting. It’s a remark getting national attention, so we’ll talk to Max Richtman, president and CEO of the National Committee to Protect Social Security and Medicare. And former US Attorney Jim Santelle has details on next week’s start to the first-ever criminal trial for a former president.
Let’s Ask the Legal Expert (Hour 2)
With an ex-President facing more than 90 criminal felony counts, it can get a little confusing to trace all the developments and possibilities in all those courtrooms. Fortunately, we have former US Attorney Jim Santelle to join us on Fridays as he prepares for his new Saturday morning legal show, Amicus: A Legal Brief.
Nice Try, Elise (2nd Hour)
There’s a rising number of examples of Republican politicians trying to take credit for the infrastructure investments being made in their districts, even though they voted against the spending, jobs, and improvements that are coming their way through President Biden’s agenda.
The Choices Become More Clear (2nd Hour)
There once was a time when people would claim they couldn’t tell the difference between the two major political parties. Now the differences have never been more clear, as President Biden tells Congress about his agenda and how it contrasts to what motivates his likely November opponent. We’ll also review media coverage of the State of the Union address with Mark Jacob.
A ‘Monumental’ Faceoff for Women (2nd Hour)
On this first day of National Women’s Month, we reveal what’s holding up a bill introduced one year ago by Sen. Tammy Baldwin to memorialize women who fought and sacrificed for decades to win the right to vote.
A Covey of Quislings (2nd Hour)
Former Chicago Tribune metro editor Mark Jacob helps us review recent media activity—such as Tucker Carlson’s Moscow visit/love letter to Putin, and a major political newspaper fawns over Jared Kushner without noting how he was enriched by a mysterious $2 billion Saudi payoff.
Why Newspapers Can’t Have Nice Things (2nd Hour)
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel becomes the latest news outlet to belatedly shut down its comments sections, succumbing to the already-obvious notion that it’s impossible for a few to grow flowers in a place where so many are willing to dump their manure. And in Chicago, newspaper workers stage a historic walkout to protest corporate ownership that has slashed and burned a once proud industry. Plus: We wrap up our updates with candidates running in the 3rd Congressional District Democratic primary, checking in with Eric Wilson.
