Robert joins us from New Mexico where he was at a People's Action leadership retreat and a well deserved vacation to hike and bike in New Mexico. Yet another Walker-appointee refuses to leave office when their term expires, this time a Green Bay area bank CEO on the UW Board of Regents. What does this say about the GOP attitude towards democracy and power, and how progressives must respond? A blockbuster federal report reveals Medicare Advantage's $64 billion in supplemental benefits slush fund for the big insurance industry, without democratic accountability. What are the broader implications of the increasingly monopolistic system in search of profits and market share at all costs? Turning to Wisconsin, Robert and Matt layout why news the for-profit OakLeaf is planning to staff a new Eau Claire area hospital is further evidence the system is not healthy and needs state regulation that protects the health of communities against the abuses of the healthcare industry money grab. The announcement of a new public transit Rideshare program to try to fill unplanned transportation gaps in people accessing healthcare in between Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire further reveals the complete failure of our system and the need for our new hospital accountability legislation we announced with State Senator Jeff Smith earlier this month. Next week is Bike Week! Citizen Action Northwest Coop Organizer, Jeremy Gragert, joins us to discuss the Week's growth, importance and connection to sustainable and reliable public mass transit and fighting climate change.

UW-Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Dean Glenda Gillaspy reflects on her first three semesters on campus. She says the two most common issues that come to her desk from stakeholders are decreasing enrollment trends and the status of production agriculture education on campus. CALS has seen growing enrollment over the past two years, and Gillaspy argues production agriculture remains strong on campus. UW-Madison supported the move of the Farm & Industry Short Course to UW-River Falls, and CALS is hosting an Ag Forward dairy short course this month. Ahead of the new year, the UW Board of Regents approved a deal with state lawmakers to free up more funding and infrastructure spending of which CALS will use across its research stations. Also outside the walls of Ag Hall, CALS is a part of a project spanning three areas: weather stations, rural livability, and indigenous food systems. Finally, Gillaspy sees opportunity for the college to explore more ways farmers can meet the market and political demands of environmental and economic sustainability.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A lot going on at the Universities of Wisconsin, and UW-La Crosse student Janasea Hameister joined to break it all down, from Joe Gow's firing over online videos of him having sex with his wife, to DEI being stripped by the state Legislature, plus some things you probably haven't heard. Hameister is the managing editor at the UW-L's Racquet Press and also a La Crosse city council member, representing District 5. Lost in the Gow firing and the DEI “negotiation,” was a fight over D&I at UW-La Crosse, that Hameister helped explain. Before that, however, we began the show chatting about a city council committee decision Tuesday to allow a real estate group to proceed with demolishing the old Macy's at the Valley View Mall for three “quick serve” restaurants, a car wash and more parking.  After that, we intertwined the three things going on within the Universities of Wisconsin, including Gow's firing as chancellor — and his apparent fight for freedom of speech — the UW Board of Regents caving to GOP demands to strip DEI initiatives in a negotiation over already approved raises and building plans that already had bipartisan support and, lastly, Hameister's story on the Student Association being stripped of its D&I bylaws by UW-L. La Crosse Talk PM airs weekdays at 5:06 p.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska).

We welcome Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski to discuss her call for Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu to remove Wisconsin Election Commissioner and disgraced Trump fake elector Robert Spindell from his position of authority over our election process. She encourages our listeners to call LeMahieu and their state legislators and urge them to replace Spindell. The Secretary also tells us why she opposes Robin Vos' scheme to replace the Wisconsin Election Commission with a process where the Secretary of State runs elections under the full control of the gerrymandered legislature. We also review the latest culture war battle initiatives by the Wisconsin GOP, the drive by Speaker Vos to eliminate the UW System's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusions Programs. At first the UW Board of Regents held firm against Vos's threats, but then caved. We discuss how this effort by Republicans and the Biden impeachment in the U.S. House reveals that our democracy remains in a grave state of peril heading into the pivotal 2024 elections. We also remind listeners to attend our 3rd Congressional District Candidate Forum this Sunday, December 17th, at 6pm. RSVP here. We close with Citizen Action Northeast Co-op organizer Natalie Hoffman to tell us about a climate victory in Green Bay last week and a holiday social the Coop is hosting next Tuesday evening in Green Bay.
