It's Friday, so the weekend, starts here. Congressman Bryan Steil held a town hall listening session last night and it did not go as planned.

The July jobs numbers were released this morning and things don't look good there, and the May/June revised numbers not helping either.

We're back in studio, back from our trip and we are grateful for all those who listened, called, texted and organized this tour for our shows! We're kicking things off with a vote of gratitude to US Congressman Tony Weid for taking on the true concerns of the people and protecting four words in The Constitution. State Rep. Robyn Vining has made her announcement that she is running for State Senate in an attempt to push the Democrats towards a majority in that chamber. Then, The Felon President's plan to deport over a million people a year isn't very popular, maybe because some of those being disappeared and denied re-entry are Trump supporters and 82 year old green card holders. And next on that list: US Citizens who don't fit the "MAGA Doctrine". As always, thank you for listening, texting and calling, we couldn't do this without you!

It's the first day of Jane and Todd's statewide road trip with the first stop in Oshkosh at the EAA, home of Airventure and a week of events, classes and connections with people from all over the world! We kick the show off with news regarding a court order allowing those on unemployment to also access Social Security Disability Insurance. Next, food that was meant to be distributed by USAID is now being disposed of in almost an insulting matter, feeding nobody, helping no one. Then Dick Knapinski from the EAA joins the show to talk about all of the great things happening at Airventure this year, including class for the kids and information on the industry job market.

The cuts to Medicaid in The Big Bill For Billionaires are coming, not now or tomorrow, but sooner than you know. In January 2027, the full scope of these reductions will take place and we don't want to forget it, because it will have deep impacts for those on Badger Care and around the country. No matter how hard they try, they can't make the curious case of Jeffrey Epstein go away, much to the dismay of those in the administration who want to forget it.
