Joe Zepecki
Peep show debate
Joe Zepecki sticks around after being bumped by the President to talk about Joe Biden's speech in Milwaukee today, and the danger Trump presents if reelected. Then, with both Trump and Biden set as the presidential nominees for this November, there's just one question left: should the meet up together for a debate?
On one hand, it COULD be a good chance for Biden to really hammer Trump on his fascist tendencies. On the other, Trump will just lie the entire time, and without a constant fact check, it could just be a waste of time. Crute is all for it, Dom is against it. Let's fight!

A Season for Storytelling (1st Hour)
A bridge can be more than just a bridge. And the State of the Union address is more than just a speech. Expect President Biden to tell stories about how things like a bridge project can change lives—after all, they’ve already produced a 5-minute video on how the Blatnik Bridge in Superior will do just that.
Another 10-Month Paid Vacation (1st Hour)
Wisconsin is among a minority of states that still classifies its legislature as full-time, including a full-time salary—even as Republicans who control the Assembly and Senate again wrap up their legislating by March. As they embark on a 10-month taxpayer-funded vacation, we’ll review what little they got done and the unfinished business that might stay that way until 2025.
Work Horses and Show Ponies (1st Hour)
Democrats at the state Capitol introduce a paid family leave plan, while Republicans try again to pass a tax plan favoring the wealthy.

We turn the page on the calendar and note the arrival of Black History Month with advice to focus on the many productive, informative, and entertaining events planned around Wisconsin—and not so much on a Legislature led by those who can’t quit their efforts to divide people and whitewash history. Also: Joe Zepecki discusses some of the week's top political happenings.
