James Kelly
Of Lead and Lies (Hour 3)
We talk to Earl Ingram about last week’s remarks by HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr. claiming a “team” was on the ground in Milwaukee to help with a lead paint crisis in schools. That was a lie. And James Kelly has a story out of Hayward reminding us that when school’s go on summer break, some kids lose out on the one good meal they might get that day.

The House Of Representatives Votes To Gut Healthcare (Hour 1)
Today, Todd joins us live from beautiful Black River Falls. After convening around 1 am last night, the House of Representatives passed their reconciliation bill by one vote early this morning. If it passes in the senate and is implemented, this bill may have dire consequences for the people of Wisconsin, particularly when it comes to healthcare.
At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by James Kelly, Northwestern Wisconsin Bureau Chief for Civic Media News. He reminds us of the current healthcare struggles in rural Wisconsin and how they will be exacerbated by this reconciliation bill. The HSHS hospital system closed due to insufficient Medicaid reimbursement, and this bill looks to cut Medicaid further.
After the discussion on the “big, beautiful bill,” James updates us on other news from his area of the state, including yet another abandoned boat.

Jimmie Kaska, Civic Media's Sports Director guest hosts for the day. We start the hour with some lighthearted talk on the time of year. Then, it's time for some money talk. Wisconsin has a huge surplus, what should be done with it. What would you think of a cheese mouse in every city, town, and village?

The pipeline faces legal action in Wisconsin. It also features at the heart of this documentary covering the Bad River Band's fight for sovereignty of their land and safety of their natural resources, which the pipeline seriously threatens.

Sit down for this one: hateful rhetoric may cause harm!(Hour 2)
In the wake of an apparent second assassination plot against Donald Trump, everyone has an opinion about who and what is to blame. Vance and Trump blame the Democrats for "attacking Trump"... by, er, fact-checking him and pushing back against his authoritarian ideals. Let's be very, very clear: political violence is unacceptable. It is not the answer to political difference. And physical violence often follows verbal violence and hate-filled calls to action.
James Kelly, northwest news bureau chief for Civic Media joins us at the bottom of the hour to brings an update from JD Vance's rally. Towards the end of the appearance, Vance returned to his favorite lie of the moment on Springfield residents from Haiti eating pets.
