In a recent Climate Check, Melissa Baldauff reviewed the Harris record on climate issues. This week, the Walz version, which could easily begin with the joke, “Hold my beer.” And Republican reaction to the Walz news? Seriously—it was just weird.

Project 2025? Never Heard of It. (LOL) (Hour 1)
This week’s Climate Check centers on twisters—and Twisters. We’re seeing many more tornadoes than usual in Wisconsin this year. We’ll examine how a changing climate could be responsible and whether Hollywood is acknowledging that in the new summer blockbuster. Also: As Kamala Harris rallies with 10,000 supporters in Atlanta, Donald Trump tries again to disavow any support for Project 2025—which is tough to do when your running mate just wrote the foreword for a book about it!

Play, Don’t Get Played (Hour 1)
Protesters are not happy with being kept at a distance from next week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. While some are planning to march within the security perimeter, it comes with a note of caution not to get their message lost by the behavior of those they cannot control—especially if planted from people who want Milwaukee to get a black eye from any incidents of violence. Also: The climate dangers in Trump’s Project 2025.

You Say It’s Your Birthday (Hour 1)
Not gonna lie—the host of this daily radio program has been a little off as he approached today’s milestone birthday. It’s the last live show for the week, so he’s decided the best course of action is to kick back and invite friends to come on for informal chats rather than traditional news interviews. That includes our favorite Wisconsin power couple: Melissa Baldauff and Joe Zepecki.

Building Back Better (Hour 1)
We’ve had a lot to say about the climate and energy benefits in the Inflation Reduction Act, but in this week’s Climate Check segment, Melissa Baldauff helps us go back to the beginning—when the bill was known as President Biden’s Build Back Better plan before it went through the congressional sausage grinder. It’s a lesson in perseverance, compromise, and the potential to make a good thing even better in the future—rather than taking your ball and going home.
