Here we are, once again; our Federal Government is shut down and while Democrats want to hold firm for health care and Republicans want colleagues to cross the aisle, the president sees this as an opportunity to do what he does best: inflict pain on regular folks like you and me. Ascension Hospital has exited United Healthcare and this is a big deal, so we speak with Dr. Kristin Lyerly about what this means for patients and doctors. And the Republicans are keeping a dually elected individual from being sworn into the congress, which is delaying the release of The Epstein Files.

It's Friday and the weekend, starts here. We've been talking about this for awhile, but it looks like the president will be looking to "bailout" the farmers, again. This time, he has a sure fire way to fund this plan, just like the last time. We recommend this book if you're looking for insight into the relationship between The GOP and The Heartland. Oh and apparently we're giving $20 billion to another country, because the president likes them. We wish he liked us. If you want to get a bathroom remodel done, better hurry up, because of new tariffs, you have less than a week to afford it. We wrap things up with the story of an escalator, a Jesse and a whole heapin' helpin' of double standards. As always, thank you for listening, texting and calling, we couldn't do this without you!

It seems as if Madison can't find some money to help our Vets. And while one side will point fingers as the other side points back, the Heroes they support so deeply on social media and TV are in danger and need them to do their jobs. Next, remember the good ol' days when Tylenol was good for you? Yeah, yesterday morning seems like so long ago now that The Trump Administration is trying to link it to (deep breath) Autism. Just to be sure of their veracity on the topic, here is our friend Dr. Kristin Lyerly with some thoughts and a phonics lesson.

Tariffs have been a consistent topic on the show since last year when The Felon President made them a cornerstone of his re-election campaign, which is why we welcome James Vanderloo back to the show. He is the President of OEC Group-Milwaukee and he is giving us an update on how the tariffs are affecting his industry, as well as you, the consumer. And because the news gets so heavy, all the time, it's time to switch gears and we have some lovely Audio Sorbet. Today's topic is: Technology - are you the helper or the helpee?

“Vaccines save lives, folks. Spreading fear, distrust, and disinformation about safe and effective vaccines isn't just reckless, it's dangerous” - These are the words of Governor Tony Evers as he signed an Executive Order to make it easier for Wisconsinites to get vaccines in the wake of weakened support from The Trump Administration. The state is also taking steps to make access easier for those who seek COVID-19 vaccinations, among others. Next, FEMA money for Wisconsin has been approved, and we have information on how to apply. Then, Bennet Goldstein is a reporter for Wisconsin Watch and he joins us to talk about a county in Wisconsin doing everything they can to help feed the hungry in their community in the wake of abrupt cuts to federal funding.

In a shocking interview with US Attorney General Pam Bondi said they were "going after hate speech", which has drawn ire from both sides of the aisle as we have a document that covers this point pretty clearly and has been the gold standard for 250 years now.

In the second hour, it's time to welcome back to the show Dr. Kristin Lyerly to the show to discuss how to connect more and social media, less. We also talk about how to get ready for bed, properly (it's more difficult than you think) and measles cases are on the rise in Wisconsin and across the US. Dr. Lyerly talks about the importance of vaccines and why "just get it and be done with it" isn't the best plan of attack. And because Jane was on vacation, Calvin and Greg catch her up on their favorites stories, interviews and TSBAT's from the last few week.
