Joe Zepecki
Let’s Get Into It (Hour 1)
There are concerns that the recent court ruling overturning Act 10 means that next year’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race will have an outsized focus on a law from 13 years ago. Political strategist Joe Zepecki says we may as well get into it, since one of the candidates for justice was part of the original challenge to Act 10 anyway—and it’s not a bad thing to focus on protecting workers’ rights. Also: A friend of the show writes a column about President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter and how it gives us all a lesson in the power of grace to help others struggling with addiction.

The Mood Matters (Hour 2)
Democratic political advisor and strategist Joe Zepecki joins Dom and Earl for a half hour digging into what the hell happened. Was it an uninformed public? A lack of focus on the reality of people feeling left behind by the economy? What about the mood that the Harris-Walz ticket embraced? Was their joy just too out of touch in a change era? And what in the name of Democracy do we do now?
