Kamala Didn’t “Turn Black” – with Nick Ramos (Hour 1)
Todd has the day off, so our friend Luke Mathers has stepped in to host today’s show! After a brief tangent on this year’s Summer Olympics, he covers the latest political news. Yesterday, former President Donald Trump attended a conference with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ). Ultimately, they asked fair questions, and Trump refused to answer them directly. The event ended early as soon as Project 2025 was mentioned. Luke provides his perspective.
At the bottom of the hour, Nick Ramos returns to the show! As the Executive Director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, he has his finger on the pulse of politics. Also, as a Black man, he has a lot to say about Trump’s remarks at yesterday’s NABJ conference. Donald Trump now claims that Kamala Harris used to be Indian and has now “turned black.” Nick Ramos contends that either the former President is gaslighting, having memory issues, or both.
Afterward, Nick and Luke talk about Wisconsin’s upcoming primary election on Tuesday, August 13th. Early in-person voting has already begun! Visit myvote.wi.gov or civicmedia.us/vote to make your plan to be a voter. Nick tells us all about what’s on the ballot and why it’s important to vote NO to both constitutional referendums.

Does Donald Trump’s Wife Love Him? (Hour 1)
The election season is just heating up, and MAGA is only getting weirder. Todd shares some audio from recent TV appearances with us. First, we go over Donald Trump’s recent speeches and an interview on Fox News. He is making a call to Christians, claiming that they will never have to vote again after this election because “it will all be fixed.” The autocratic signaling could not be clearer. Also of note are Trump’s uncertainty about whether or not his wife loves him and his statement that he is not a Christian.
Afterward, we pivot to a clip of Secretary Pete Buttigieg on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. In a succinct and relatable manner, Buttigieg addresses J.D. Vance’s claims that Americans without biological children “have no physical stake” in our country’s future. Buttigieg served in our military in active war zones overseas, which brings a whole new level to physical commitment.
At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins in for some Tuesday Tangents. He and Todd take your calls on the strange and dangerous ideas of Project 2025 before touching on Jordan Love’s new contract.

Welcome Back, Toddles! (Hour 1)
Welcome back, Todd! Today, our host returns to the Civic Media world headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin after two weeks on the road. After yesterday’s discussion on Kamala Harris and her campaign, Todd has many more thoughts to share.
In other news this morning, Kimberly Cheatle, Director of the Secret Service, has stepped down. In the wake of the shooting at a recent Trump rally, the Secret Service has been heavily criticized for its response. As a result, Deputy Director Ronald L. Rowe, Jr. is stepping up as Director.

Disco Ducks In the Dells (Hour 1)
Today is the second day of our second What Makes Wisconsin Great tour with Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project! During yesterday’s show, we asked listeners where Todd should broadcast from today.

Snowflakes And Super Pigs (Hour 2)
In the second hour, things are kicking off with a story concerning a tweet (or a post?) on Twitter (or X?) from a young Democratic influencer and the reaction from the right. Calvin and Greg also discuss a cartoon in the process of being made that has one major problem: it's stunning lack of jokes or humor. Then the very handsome and very capable Luke Mathers joins the show to give his thoughts on fireworks and Super Pigs, we promise this isn't a conspiracy theory.

Striving For A More Perfect Union with Luke Mathers (Hour 1)

Todd catches us up on some history before inviting Luke Mathers for some Tuesday Tangents!

Saving Democracy… and Annoying Zoom Meetings (Hour 1)
Coming up on Thursday, Biden and Trump will have their first presidential debate of the season. Trump has preemptively claimed that Biden will probably be high on cocaine. In reality, Trump is just trying to temper expectations for what he believes will be a mediocre performance on his part.
This morning, Jon Lovett and Jon Favreau of Pod Save America spoke on Morning Joe about their new book, Democracy or Else: How to Save America in 10 Easy Steps. While the hyperpartisanship of modern American politics is frightening, it hasn’t always been this way. As recently as the Obama campaign, it was fun and fulfilling to get involved in politics, and Pod Save America have some great insight on how to return to those days.
At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers returns for Tuesday Tangents! He and Todd talk further on Thursday’s upcoming presidential debate, and whether or not Trump will show up.

Wisconsin’s Top Chef (1st Hour)
Starting off the hour, Pat recaps a few headlines from around the state and the Milwaukee Brewers take two out of three games in Anaheim. Then, guess now many lies Donald Trump told while speaking in Racine this week. You may or may not be surprised by the number one fact checker fit into a three minute segment.
Well, he or she may not be the top chef living within our borders, but we’ll have more to say about last night’s finale of Top Chef-Wisconsin with superfan Luke Mathers. Pat contends, would Top Chef Milwaukee have been a better name for the season? Plus, Pat and Luke's reactions to the declared winner.
The hour wraps up with our 'This Day in History' segment with birthdays, song debuts and scandals.

It’s Easy To Keep Your Story Straight If You Don’t Lie (Hour 1)
Tonight, Donald Trump will be visiting Racine. After supporting Scott Walker in bankrupting Wisconsinites with Foxconn, Trump now says that Milwaukee is “a horrible city.” President Biden worked with Microsoft to finally put that Foxconn infrastructure to use, and Trump’s visit tonight will likely address that development.
At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins us for another round of Tuesday Tangents. He and Todd primarily addressed Trump’s comment on Milwaukee, as well as the GOP’s scattered response to the news.
During the hour, Todd also mentioned a new article by our friend Kristin Brey in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Trump’s Milwaukee comment may be horrible, but Brey believes that we should be focusing on the horrible GOP policy decisions being made about IVF.
