Powers speaks with Dr. Jen Rafferty, author of 'The Empowered Educator', who says the trickle down effect of teacher burnout can effect an entire community, and how teacher wellness is foundational infrastructure for healthy classrooms.

From the business community's perspective, La Crosse needs a city administrator. La Crosse Area Chamber of Commerce CEO Sam Scinta and government relations director Allyson Fergot in studio explaining why 99% of their members support the move — and why they believe operating without one is costing the city more in the long run. HIGHLIGHTS: Overwhelming business support: Why 99% of the Chamber's 540-plus members—from small shops to non-profits and healthcare—back the position. Streamlining development: Why local non-profits told the Chamber they would rather have a city administrator than a new zoning code to cut through red tape. Managing a $74 million operation: Why treating city government like a complex enterprise requires consistent, professional management alongside elected policy makers. Predictability for local business: How a central administrator creates clear processes and stable leadership that outlasts political turnover. Next week the city council begins again its debate on creating the charter ordinance position, beginning with the Judiciary and Administrative Committee (agenda) at 5 p.m. Wednesday. The council did get the same ordinance through by a 7-6 vote back in February, but it needed a supermajority. NOTE: This interview was recorded prior to Mayor Shaundel Washington-Spivey releasing a video opposing the proposed charter ordinance. The mayor argued the specific legislation takes statutory power away from elected leadership and removes the voice of the people from City Hall.

And Todd Blanche keeps trying to get over the Judiciary speedbump. ----- The biggest story in legal last week was an unfortunate guerrilla antagonizing of a couple making out on a park bench... who just happened to be a Wachtell partner and associate. And now an internal HR problem is suddenly national news. Say what you will about the person who filmed it, but "get a room" was good advice. Meanwhile, Todd Blanche's confirmation hearings continued to drag on, with former supporters abandoning him and even some Republicans wondering why he can't commit to ruling out a January 6 slush fund. A new book says Blanche once feared bringing frivolous cases. He seems to have gotten over that. And Elena Kagan publicly claims her colleagues get a "bad rap" for supporting Trump. She's wrong and making these statements unfairly maligns her liberal colleagues facing personal attacks for their work. Oh, and John Yoo is back in the news.

Is economic pressure enough to break Iran's nuclear ambitions—or can the regime simply wait out the U.S.? As U.S. strikes against Iranian targets continue and tensions escalate across critical global shipping lanes like the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb, the conflict entered a pivotal phase this past week.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani would love to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, something he has threatened since his campaign, but acknowledged this week that he does not have the authority to do so despite promising to do so during his mayoral campaign, and recently repeating the threat multiple times. Mamdani has also faced questions over criticism that his focus on Netanyahu created a one-sided account of the Israel-Hamas war refusing to label the October 7th attacks as terrorism and attempt at genocide. And that anti-Israel opinion is spreading through the Democrat and Democratic Socialist party. FOX's John Saucier speaks with Doug Schoen, lawyer and former political advisor to President Bill Clinton, who calls the the threat of arresting Netanyahu political postering, and also takes a look at rising antisemitism in the Democrat Party.

President Trump warned that bridges and power plants will soon be targeted, along with the Pickaxe Mountain facility, after Israeli intelligence reportedly assessed that Iran has transferred uranium enrichment centrifuges to the underground compound there.

Earlier this week, twelve states filed a lawsuit trying to block Paramount's proposed $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. The lawsuit is trying to argue the merger would eliminate competition in Hollywood and reduce choices for all consumers nationwide. A Paramount-Warner combo would bring together two of Hollywood's last five legacy studios. Paramount says the lawsuit "distorts settled antitrust law" and maintains that a merger would instead create a "stronger competitor against dominant streaming and technology platforms.' FOX's Krystin Goodwin speaks with Jon Leibowitz, antitrust legal counsel to 'Paramount+' and former Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), who says he is confident the merger will boost competition and will offer much more content to viewers.
