Last week saw two debates between Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Republican challenger Leah Vukmir. Both debates were characterized by tension and hostility as the two clashed over abortion, immigration, health care and a host of other issues. In this week's "Capitol Notes" conversation, WUWM's Marti Mikkelson asked JR Ross of WisPolitics.com why he thought the debates were so combative.

Politicians drinking in Wisconsin. Buthering metaphors -- glass houses and stone throwing, to be exact. The idea that weed is more addictive than meth, as Leah Vukmir has said.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week the panel is forced (yet again) to interpret the infamous Marquette University Law Poll, which now declares a dead heat in the Governor's race. We dig through the electoral and movement ramifications of the disturbing confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to a lifetime SCOTUS appointment. Will it energize right-wing voters in November? Will it build the strength of the #metoo movement? We take a deep dive into the bizarre U.S. Senate debate this week between Tammy Baldwin and Leah Vukmir. Did Vukmir really say that pre-existing condition discrimination never happened, and is a "big lie" propagated by progressives? Next we discuss the shocking new UN report on climate change that shows we must take drastic action much sooner to prevent a global genocide. We close with a great discussion with Citizen Action co-op member Tom Sieber, who is a dynamic progressive candidate for the State Assembly in Northeast Wisconsin.

The Kavanaugh hearings took center stage last week in Washington, and both candidates is Wisconsin's U.S. Senate race weighed in on President Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court. Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin asked for an FBI investigation into claims that Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted a woman when the two were teenagers. Baldwin's Republican challenger Leah Vukmir, meanwhile, called for quick confirmation of Kavanaugh. For this week's "Capitol Notes" conversation, WUWM's Marti Mikkelson discussed the candidates' stances, with JR Ross of WisPolitics.com. Ross talked about what's at stake for Vukmir in backing Kavanaugh.

We discuss the sham FBI investigation into the credible charges of sexual assault leveled against SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and predict the likely outcomes of the shameful Senate confirmation process and the electoral fallout from Donald Trump's latest degrading remarks. We also talk about the Fight for $15 movement’s victory this week at Amazon, and the strike in Milwaukee that resulted in 23 arrests outside a McDonald's. Robert reviews the week’s healthcare news, including Assembly Speaker Robin Vos's stubborn “No way” declaration on accepting federal Medicaid money and Leah Vukmir's extreme attacks on Medicare for All. Finally, we welcome Aaron Matteson, a Citizen Action Co-op member and candidate for Assembly District 22.

After some movie talk, Team MacIver talks about all that's new but familiar. For one, Big Labor's never-ending, doomed efforts to sue Act 10 out of existence. For two, Randy Bryce's hauntingly familiar $50 trillion agenda that's copy/pasted out of the Bernie Sanders manifesto. For three, another effort to topple Obamacare's flimsy legal scaffolding in the courts (and this one could go all the way). This week's podcast also features exclusive interviews with Guy Benson on the big national issues and Senator Leah Vukmir on her efforts to clamp down on crime in Milwaukee.

Mark Pocan's prediction that Foxconn will sink Walker and Republicans; and a new study finds that Wisconsin is the 10th most moved out of state.
