Trump’s Trials and Tribulations (Hour 2)
Former US Attorney Jim Santelle gives us an update on the former president’s hush money trial, now that testimony has concluded from the adult film star about their alleged affair and subsequent payoff. And we’ll preview Monday’s “Day Without Childcare” to call attention to the industry’s ongoing crisis. UpNorthNews with Pat Kreitlow airs on several […]
Counsel & Counsell (Hour 2)
We’ll be joined by our Friday regulars: Media critiques from “Stop the Presses” writer Mark Jacob, a review of this week’s Trump legal woes with former US Attorney Jim Santelle, and Dan Schumacher has an update on the future of Northland College and a preview of this weekend’s Brewers-Cubs series—the first one since Craig Counsell […]
Supreme Disappointment (Hour 2)
There were landmark legal moments for the country this week—in two courtrooms—as former President Trump seeks unlimited powers from the US Supreme Court, while his business fraud trial centers on how the National Enquier engaged in actual “fake news” to help him win in 2016. We’ll cover all the bases with Mark Jacob (“Stop the […]
Trials and Trails (Hour 2)
While former President Trump is on trial, President Biden is on the campaign trail. We’ll talk to former US Attorney Jim Santelle about how a jury has been selected for Trump’s case of election interference via business fraud.

Stepping In It (Hour 2)
Nobody asked Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde to publicly assert (more than once!) that nursing home residents are likely to die soon, so they shouldn’t necessarily be helped with voting. It’s a remark getting national attention, so we’ll talk to Max Richtman, president and CEO of the National Committee to Protect Social Security and Medicare. […]
Let’s Ask the Legal Expert (Hour 2)
With an ex-President facing more than 90 criminal felony counts, it can get a little confusing to trace all the developments and possibilities in all those courtrooms. Fortunately, we have former US Attorney Jim Santelle to join us on Fridays as he prepares for his new Saturday morning legal show, Amicus: A Legal Brief.
Weasel Wording (Hour 2)
We’ll talk to Mark Jacob, author of the “Stop the Presses” newsletter and co-host of the “Media Misses” video series, about the way news outlets are having a tough time calling things what they are. From racism to antisemitism to connections to Russia, too many in the media are using what he calls “weasel words” […]
Nice Try, Elise (2nd Hour)
There’s a rising number of examples of Republican politicians trying to take credit for the infrastructure investments being made in their districts, even though they voted against the spending, jobs, and improvements that are coming their way through President Biden’s agenda.
The Choices Become More Clear (2nd Hour)
There once was a time when people would claim they couldn’t tell the difference between the two major political parties. Now the differences have never been more clear, as President Biden tells Congress about his agenda and how it contrasts to what motivates his likely November opponent. We’ll also review media coverage of the State […]
A ‘Monumental’ Faceoff for Women (2nd Hour)
On this first day of National Women’s Month, we reveal what’s holding up a bill introduced one year ago by Sen. Tammy Baldwin to memorialize women who fought and sacrificed for decades to win the right to vote.
