Dr. Kristin Lyerly
The ‘Fertilization President’ Breaks His Promise (Hour 1)
It was creepy when he said it and not too surprising that President Trump broke his promise to be the “fertilization president” and labeled himself the “Father of IVF.” We’ll ask Dr. Kristin Lyerly about reports the White House has no intention of fulfilling Trump’s campaign promise that “the government is going to pay for it, or we’ll mandate your insurance company to pay for it.” We’ll also remember a Wisconsin hero: astronaut Jim Lovell. And we’ll have an update on severe weekend flooding around Milwaukee.

Berrien His Campaign Hopes (Hour 3)
Gubernatorial candidate Bill Berrien seems to be “buryin’” his campaign hopes each time he’s asked questions about his positions or his history. It took four tries, but a reporter finally got the wealthy businessman to claim he regrets supporting Nikki Haley in the last GOP presidential primary. And he didn’t have a very convincing answer to what separates him from Eric Hovde and Tim Michels, two other wealthy businessmen seeking a high office without any significant political experience.

Fireworks from Packers and Brewers (Hour 1)
Wisconsin two active sports teams put on two different types of fireworks displays over the weekend. For the Green Bay Packers, it was the literal kind—a show in the skies to wrap up another successful Family Night practice. For the Brewers, the fireworks came from the bats—setting a record for the number of hits in a three-game series as they pounded the Nationals in Washington, and manager Pat Murphy getting attention for his in-game snack of… pocket pancakes?!

Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez (Hour 3)
We’re talking live with Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez, the first announced candidate in next year’s race for Wisconsin governor. She’ll talk about her background as a nurse and healthcare leader, what prompted her to run for a seat in the Legislature before becoming the state’s second highest executive, and what she wants to do if elected to succeed Tony Evers in November 2026. Dr. Kristin Lyerly joins the discussion. And Mike Clemens gives us an update on Packers training camp and previews the Brewers’ weekend series against the Washington Nationals.

Corruption, Candidates, and Capital: Cutting Through the Chaos
Maggie begins this hour by navigating the turbulent world of political corruption and the influence of wealth in Wisconsin politics. Spotlighting Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez’s courageous stand against baseless xenophobic attacks and unpacking the questionable loyalties of Congressman Derek Van Orden, the conversation digs deep into the state’s political climate. Joining Maggie is Morris Pearl, former BlackRock executive, who breaks down how the tax code favors the ultra-rich and why fair taxation is critical for economic justice (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/07/25/trump-tax-law-rich-liberals/). Meanwhile, Lisa White, a passionate newcomer running for the 17th Senate District, shares her grassroots strategy to unite communities despite early party endorsements.

A 25% Hypocrisy Tax (Hour 1)
Friend of the show Hans Breitenmoser is highlighted in a story which discusses the impact of deportation on farmers. Then, Civic Media's own Dr. Kristin Lyerly is here to catch us up on a story out of Green Bay that is sending ripples throughout the community. We also discuss why those who protest so hard and so loud, in the end, are so dismissive and so quiet in the face of a horrific challenge.

GOP 2.0: Stop Trying to Rig Elections (Hour 1)
If Republicans want to start winning more statewide elections in Wisconsin, a good first step would be to stop trying to rig elections. It’s a process that began in 2015 when they dismantled the nationally-acclaimed Government Accountability Board and created a commission intentionally designed for gridlock. Now one of the GOP candidates for governor wants to get rid of even the commission and continue spreading a false talking point about how elections are run right now.

Let’s Talk About Real Groomers (Hour 3)
We hear a lot from the political right about “groomers,” people who are preying upon the young and vulnerable in order to recruit them into a harmful lifestyle. As is often the case with the political right, this is another case of projection. We’ll talk about a Courier Newsroom series that examines how vulnerable young men are being targeted to push hyper-masculine MAGA agendas and young women are being taught to embrace a MAHA agenda of outdated anti-feminist tropes.

The Least They Could Do (Hour 2)
Here’s an example where “the least they could do” is far from complimentary. Childcare provider and advocate Corrine Hendrickson explains how the new state budget comes nowhere near the investment needed to help parents with rising childcare costs, or businesses who lose workers when a parent has to stay home, or providers who can’t get the bare minimum for offering safe and educational childcare that enables economic growth.

Brewing Excitement (Hour 1)
Sweeping the LA Dodgers right before the All Star break was a pretty big deal for the Milwaukee Brewers. Sweeping them again right after the All Star break is even better—especially as it continues a 10-game winning streak. And in a reminder that Donald Trump can even ruin our escape into sports, he’s threatening to unleash his army of trolls on two sports teams unless they restore the racist nicknames they had finally sent to history’s dumpster.
