Don’t Get Much for $13 Million These Days (Hour 1)
US Senate candidate Eric Hovde has spent about $13 million of his own money so far in his quest to unseat Sen. Tammy Baldwin. We’ll talk to Joe Zepecki about whether that’s looking like a good return on his investment, and we’ll discuss whether the defeat of two constitutional referendums will bring an end to the power trips that GOP legislators try to use against Gov. Tony Evers.

JD Is OK with J6 (Hour 1)

Feckless (Hour 1)
We’ll check the latest news on the feeding frenzy of a feckless press corps and the prone-to-panic politicians who help the media put more emphasis on show business and less emphasis on the very real threats to the economy, national security, democracy, and more.

You Say It’s Your Birthday (Hour 1)
Not gonna lie—the host of this daily radio program has been a little off as he approached today’s milestone birthday. It’s the last live show for the week, so he’s decided the best course of action is to kick back and invite friends to come on for informal chats rather than traditional news interviews. That includes our favorite Wisconsin power couple: Melissa Baldauff and Joe Zepecki.

Experts and Leaders Under Fire (Hour 1)
A US Supreme Court dominated by far-right political conservatives just ruled that experts in agencies don’t matter, compared to the whims of a judge. And the most successful president in more than a generation is facing calls to step down from all kinds of folks who were strangely silent about calling for someone else to leave the race after becoming a convicted felon. Guess the second half of the year isn’t going to be any easier than the first.

Debate or Deflate? (Hour 1)
We’ll ask strategist Joe Zepecki what he’s expecting from tonight’s first debate—with expectations appearing to be pretty low for a face-off that stays above the fray. We’ll put a focus on some key issues— like who’s seeking to expand healthcare coverage for Wisconsin families and who’s trying to take it away. Also: The Brewers season is at the halfway point, and they’re still too young to know they’re not supposed to be this good!
