Trade War via Whack-a-Mole (Hour 2)
Brittney Merlot warns of incredibly poor air quality. We’ll review the top stories of the past few days with our Week In Review panel—including this morning’s newly announced tariffs from President Trump that make little sense and will only increase prices further for American consumers. Plus: A discussion about the national news outlets that are worth the subscription price and the ones that have put their credibility in the journalistic dumpster.

County Executive Trumps Chief Executive (Hour 2)
Here in Oshkosh, we’ll talk to Winnebago County Executive Gordon Hintz, a former legislator, about his first 100 days in office and the role of county governments across Wisconsin. Hintz is having a better week than the nation’s chief executive, who continues flailing in several directions to create distractions from speculation about his role in Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal escapades. We’ll talk to our Week In Review panel about this week’s political and legal headlines.

Taking the Public Out of Public Broadcasting (Hour 2)
We’ll talk to our Week In Review panel about a vote in Congress this week to gut federal funding for public radio and television—a relatively minor line in a budget, but a lifeline to many communities that aren’t otherwise served by for-profit media.

Next Steps in the Childcare Crisis (Hour 2)
Childcare providers and parents will be gathering at the state Capitol this morning to rally and outline the next steps needed to address the crisis of affordable childcare. They say what was passed in last week’s state budget is entirely inadequate to prevent continued closures, which will give parents fewer options and make the state’s labor shortage worse. Also: Our Week In Review panel wants headlines to stop playing dumb by using question headlines? Less “Is Trump Violating the Constitution?” and more “Trump Is Violating the Constitution.”

Supreme and Extreme (Hour 2)
Former US Attorney Jim Santelle takes us through a flurry of US Supreme Court opinions being issued in the final days of their session—some of which reaffirm how extreme the right wing justices are taking American law. And our Week In Review panel looks at how the Trump White House wants those pesky reporters to focus the big bombs used against Iran and not on whether the attack actually worked.

A Setback for the Regime? (Hour 2)
We’ll talk to our Week In Review panelists about the latest effort by the Trump regime to have a permanent military presence in major American cities and a possible setback after a judge ruled the president did not properly take control of the National Guard away from California’s governor. We’ll review media coverage of the events as well.

Artificial Intelligence, Real Stupidity (Hour 2)
There have been a lot of discussions in newsrooms about how Artificial Intelligence can either supplement reporting or undermine credibility. A Chicago newspaper learned the hard way just how badly AI can be set up to report stories that seem to be written by humans, only to discover the published product was an embarrassing work of fiction.

Fascist But Fashionable? (Hour 2)
Please do not try to parody the New York Times. It is no longer possible. Its 100-day coverage of the Trump White House concludes with a review of the administration’s “style, an administration where looking the part is crucial to playing the part.” We’ll try to find the nuggets amidst this week’s sludge of national media coverage from our regular Week In Review panel.

A Modern Day Quisling (Hour 2)
Hillary Clinton got it right in 2016 when she tried to warn Americans that Donald Trump would be a “Putin puppet” if elected. But perhaps the president has earned an even stronger title: Quisling. We’ll talk to our Week In Review panel about that and more. Plus an update on sentencing for a man in an Illinois parade shooting who nearly attempted the same mass murder in Wisconsin. And we’ll talk about the first round of the NFL Draft in Green Bay.

What A Week (Hour 2)
Each day brings its own challenges during this presidential administration, but the headlines today alone threaten to be overwhelming—with Trump cuts affecting public health, consumer protection, and the health of the oceans. We’ll go through it all with our Week In Review panel.
