Ben Wikler went from The Daily Show stage with Jon Stewart straight to The Rick Solem Show the next day to help make sense of the wild week in Wisconsin politics. The former chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, who will be in La Crosse on Sunday, gives his take on the recent shakeup in the Democratic primary for governor — from Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez dropping out to David Crowley re-entering the race — and why Wikler argues this primary shuffle gives voters genuine options rather than a pre-packaged Republican ticket. Wikler points out Tom Tiffany's extreme voting record in Congress, while detailing why the state party maintains strict primary neutrality and how a surging turnout will carry the eventual Democratic nominee. The discussion centers on Wikler’s new book, This Is The Plan, which maps out how Democrats successfully unrigged Wisconsin's GOP gerrymander and offers a playbook for national political reform. That conversation will continue in La Crosse this Sunday at the Cappella Performing Arts Center, where he'll join political analyst Todd Allbaugh for a live Q&A and book signing. In this interview: Governor's Race Shakeup: How Wikler—and his dog Ross—reacted to a wild week in state politics, plus why party bosses no longer handpick primary candidates for Democrats. Local Issues & 3rd District: Van Orden’s starring role as a character in This Is The Plan, and the strategy for beating Tom Tiffany in November. "Gotham City" Corruption: Campaign finance, Supreme Court ethics, and the playbook for fixing legalized corruption. Behind the Scenes at The Daily Show: What it was really like going back-and-forth with Jon Stewart (and competing with his rolling chair). IF YOU GO What: Ben Wikler book tour stop for This Is The Plan: How To End America's Meltdown and Save Democracy When: 12:30 p.m. Sunday, July 26 (Doors open at 11:30 a.m.) Where: Cappella Performing Arts Center (map) Details: Free to attend, but registration is required online via Eventbrite.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is currently facing two challenging local issues. The first being, in no particular order, the ongoing Republic Services trash collectors' strike that is now heading towards its seventh week. Healey sent a letter to the leadership at Republic Services calling them out for not answering or returning her calls and went on to say, “Your company's failure to resolve or even meaningfully address this prolonged strike is unacceptable”. The second pressing matter is the indictment of Suffolk County Sheriff Steven Tompkins. Some lawmakers are pushing Healey to remove him from his position but she has yet to make a move, saying these are “serious” allegations in which she wants to know more. We discussed these pressing local issues.

Hey, Family Brand! It's Melissa here, and today, I have a very special guest on the podcast—Brittany Richman of The American Moms. Brittany's story is inspiring, from working on President Bush's speechwriting team to founding The American Moms blog with her twin sister. She's here to share her insights on teaching our kids about civics, showing up in our communities, and the power we each have to create positive change. If you've ever wondered how to get your family more involved in civic life or felt unsure about where to start, this episode is packed with ideas to help you make a difference, right where you are! Brittany talks about her journey into politics and public service, starting with her job in the White House. Her passion for civic engagement is something she and her sister carry forward today through The American Moms, where they help families raise civically aware kids. Brittany shares how simple activities like watching the news as a family or attending local meetings can create a lasting impact. She believes these small, everyday actions build a foundation of awareness and involvement, showing kids that they, too, have a voice. One of the biggest takeaways Brittany shares is the importance of teaching kids to understand and appreciate differing viewpoints. In today's world, disagreement often feels like division, but Brittany emphasizes that “disagreement and hatred are not the same thing.” She encourages families to foster open conversations, teaching kids to approach others with respect, even when opinions differ. This lesson, Brittany says, helps raise citizens who are engaged, empathetic, and empowered to make a difference. Brittany also talks about the importance of getting involved at the local level. From advocating for better sidewalks to improving school grading systems, she shares real-life examples of how showing up can lead to meaningful change. This isn't about grand gestures—it's about addressing what matters in your own backyard. Brittany reminds us that “sometimes change is as simple as gathering a group of moms, writing letters, or attending a school board meeting.” If you're interested in finding unbiased news or want to know where to start with civic education, Brittany has some fantastic advice. She recommends local news, podcasts like Civics 101, and educational websites that help both kids and parents learn about government and civics without the bias we often see today. By seeking a variety of sources, we can foster an open-minded approach to news and help our kids build a well-rounded understanding of the world.   LINKS: All Links Family Brand!  stan.store/familybrand Links For This Episode: https://www.instagram.com/theamericanmoms   Episode Minute By Minute: 0:00 – Welcome Brittany Richman of The American Moms 2:00 – How Brittany's Political Journey Began 5:00 – Why Civics Matters for Families 10:00 – Involving Kids in Local Issues 15:00 – The Importance of Respecting Different Views 20:00 – Getting Started with Civic Education at Home 25:00 – Raising Good Citizens Over Partisan Leanings 30:00 – Finding Unbiased News Sources and Civic Resources

We often get mixed up in our level of analysis, believing that our local situation is the primary cause of the issues we face. In reality, it's the broader market forces or institutions that are creating these problems. This perspective shift encourages us to take a deep look at our circumstances and recognize that challenges we attribute to our immediate environment may actually be rooted in larger systemic dynamics. By understanding the true sources of our difficulties, we can better navigate and address them effectively.

Clare's first MEP in 35 years insists fighting for health, farmers rights, offshore energy development and robust data-protection laws will be his top priorities when he takes his seat in Brussels. Having been an unsuccessful candidate in the Ireland West Constituency in 2009, Scariff Independent TD Michael McNamara took the third seat in Ireland South last night, after amassing over 92,800 votes on the twentieth count. The last MEP from Clare was the late Paddy Lane who was elected to the European Parliament in 1989 and served until June 1994, in what was the then Munster constituency. Before Mr Lane, the late Defence and Environment Minister Sylvester Barrett served as an MEP between June 1984 and June 1989, also in the Munster Constituency. Although a by-election will be required within six months to fill Deputy McNamara's Dáil seat, the Scariff man expects the Government will call a general election for October instead. The first sitting of the new EU Parliament will be July 17th and the Clare TD's next step will be to join a party grouping. MEP Elect Michael McNamara says he will continue to bring local issues to the fore on the European stage. Overnight, the final seats were also decided in Midlands North West - earlier, while Dublin's four MEP seats were wrapped up on Wednesday. Overall, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael ended up with four MEPs, Sinn Féin has two, there are two independents, and one each for Labour and Independent Ireland. Tánaiste Micheál Martin believes voters were put off by the violence and intimidation associated with some protests against migration.

The different factions of the Republican Party were clearly on display this past weekend, at the “Cascade Conference” in Yakima.  The conference was hosted by a group called the “Mainstream Republicans of Washington”. Their self-stated mission is to push for the election of more qualified and moderate candidates for public office. Including former congressman and King County Sheriff Dave Reichert, who took the spotlight as keynote speaker.    Mainstream Republicans of Washington has endorsed Reichert in the gubernatorial election. That's in opposition to the official state GOP, which tapped former Richland School Board member Semi Bird.   It points to an ideological split in the party as it tries to rally to be competitive in a state where Republican support has steadily eroded in recent years.  Guest: Jeanie Lindsay, Northwest News Network state government reporter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
