We are a day away from filling the Congressional seats left vacant from Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz. In Florida's 1st Congressional district Republican Jimmy Patronis is running against Democrat Gay Valimont and in Congressional district 6 state Senator Randy Fine and Democrat Josh Weil are running to replace National Security Advisor Mike Waltz's seat. Both districts are heavy Trump favorites with a 30 point victory back in November. The harder race to call is in Wisconsin, where Elon, Scott Pressler and many prominent MAGA influencers have been on the ground to get Waukesha County court judge Brad Schimel elected. Tomorrow is also Liberation Day, President Trump will impose reciprocal type tariffs on imported goods from other countries in an effort to free the United States from relying on foreign goods. The president has already brought in a flurry of investments and Peter Navarro foresees a $600 Billion annual increase in American prosperity. Elon Musk exposed absolutely insane fraud within Social Security, including millions of illegal immigrants receiving benefits. Harrison Fields joins me to discuss all things inside the Trump White House. Working alongside Karoline Leavitt, the White House has taken the reins from the WHCA in the press briefing room. The WHCA annual dinner might not even happen after the host, left-wing hack Amber Ruffin, slandered Harrison and his colleagues. The Trump administration is excited for Liberation Day and look forward to the economic boom they predict will be brought in from tariffs.

Host: John GscheidmeierGuest: Sophia from the Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) of WaukeshaEpisode Overview:In this insightful episode of Wisconsin Real Estate Today, host John Gscheidmeier welcomes Sophia from HAWS to discuss the challenges and best practices of moving with pets. Whether planned or unexpected, relocation can be stressful for animals, and this episode provides expert advice on how to make the transition smoother for both pet owners and their furry companions.Key Takeaways:Understanding HAWS' Mission:The Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) supports Waukesha County with pet adoptions, education programs, and community assistance.They aim to build a no-kill community and provide resources to help owners keep their pets.Challenges of Moving with Pets:Moving can be extremely stressful for animals, particularly dogs and cats, who rely on routine and familiar surroundings.Dogs may become anxious seeing moving boxes, new environments, and unfamiliar people.Essential Pre-Move Considerations:For Renters & Condo Buyers:Research pet policies before committing to a new lease or purchase.Some landlords and condominium associations have breed or weight restrictions.Preparing Your Pets for the Move:Gradually introduce moving boxes and changes to avoid overwhelming them.Create a safe space for pets on moving day to reduce stress.Moving Day Strategies:If possible, arrange for someone to watch your pet during the busiest parts of the move.Introduce pets to the new home gradually—let them explore room by room.Walk dogs around the property on a leash to establish boundaries.Recognizing and Managing Pet Stress:Signs of anxiety include panting, excessive licking, trembling, hiding, and avoiding eye contact.Consider consulting a veterinarian if your pet struggles with anxiety.Chewing and licking help produce dopamine, which can naturally calm pets.Post-Move Adjustments:Provide consistency with feeding, bathroom breaks, and bedtime routines.Check fences and yards for any escape points before letting pets roam freely.Be patient—adjusting to a new home takes time for pets.Microchipping & Identification:Ensure pets are microchipped and wear updated ID tags in case they get lost.Register pets with the local municipality after moving.Final Thoughts:Sophia and John emphasize the importance of preparation, patience, and using available resources to ensure a smooth transition for pets. HAWS offers training, behavioral support, and other resources to assist pet owners in Waukesha County and beyond.Resources Mentioned:HAWS Website: haws.orgHAWS Main Line: (262) 542-8851
Republican state lawmakers have reintroduced legislation that would ban gender-affirming care for Wisconsin minors.

As a Waukesha County judge, a state Supreme Court candidate, and a former state attorney general, Brad Schimel knows the law is clear that candidates for judicial office “shall not personally solicit or accept campaign contributions." So why is he always joking about wearing out multiple sets of knee pads, begging people to support his campaign? It might a punchline, but it also tells us about the signals he's sending to far-right groups who want to take back control of the court this April.

It is said that real estate values are often reliant on great communities and great schools. Together, communities grow and exist hand-in-hand. In this episode, Dr. Ron Russ, Superintendent of the Merton Community School District, joins John Gscheidmeier to discuss how great schools enhance and help maintain great real estate values. Originally recorded in December, 2024, this episode will be one of our listener's favorites. Dr. Russ can do a little bragging here as well - his district scored incredibly high in the annual student testing scores compared to over 400 comparable schools in Wisconsin! Wow!From the district's webiste: The Merton Community School District has a reputation for high standards and accountability. According to the DPI's school report cards, the District continues to exceed expectations and has been highlighted by multiple sources as one of the best schools in southeast Wisconsin the past several years. All this is done in spite of an annual cost per student for K-8 schools below the statewide and the Waukesha County average annually. But how does this help maintain or even elevate real estate values? Home buyers and parents will tend to pay more for great services - in other words - great schools and great communities. Join Dr. Russ and John as they explore how valuable great school are not only to our families, our kids, our future, but also real estate.

Full transcription available at http://heartsofgoldpodcast.com/ Valerie's Girl Scout Gold Award project addressed the critical issue of cat overpopulation in Waukesha County, Wisconsin. Partnering with her local Humane Society, HAWS, she contributed to their Project Guardian initiative by building weather-resistant cat shelters and creating an educational video presentation on the causes and effects of cat overpopulation. Valerie shared her journey, from her initial inspiration driven by her love for animals to the challenges she faced, particularly with the technological aspects of her project. She emphasized the importance of communication and leadership, skills she honed throughout her project. Valerie also highlighted the support she received from her project advisors, her troop, and her family, which was instrumental in her success. We delved into her favorite memories, including building the shelters with her troop and the satisfaction of seeing her project come to fruition. Valerie also offered valuable advice for other Girl Scouts considering their Gold Award, encouraging them to take the leap and reassuring them of the support available throughout the process. Currently studying mass communications with an emphasis on public relations at Winona State University, Valerie aspires to work for an organization that positively impacts the community, potentially even Girl Scouts. More About Valerie: Valerie has been a part of Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast since 1st grade.

In addition to her involvement in Girl Scouts, Valerie has participated in the National Honor Society, the Girls Golf team, and the marching band at her high school. She is currently studying Mass Communications with an emphasis on Public Relations at Winona State University, where she is also a member of Delta Phi Epsilon.

A judge in Dane County says absentee ballots in Wisconsin don't need a full address to be counted this year. Judge Ryan Nilsestuen ruled local election managers need not reject absentee ballots if the absentee witness' address is incomplete. The ruling comes after a judge in Waukesha County ruled last year local election clerks could not count ballots with missing address information. The Waukesha County ruling also forbade clerks from “curing” those ballots by adding the missing information. Nilsestuen said the state law that deals with absentee ballots and witness addresses isn't clear. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wisconsininfocus/support

Karen Mueller is founder and General Counsel for Amos Center for Justice and Liberty.--Last December on Crosstalk, Karen introduced listeners to a pending Wisconsin Supreme Court case titled- Allen Gahl v. Aurora Health Care, Inc. At stake is the issue of patient rights and what are those rights when a hospital refuses to provide a standard of care that the patient or the patient's representative requests.--Allen Gahl is the nephew of, and medical power of attorney for, John Zingsheim. John became the focus of this case after he entered the hospital in September of 2021. Aurora Summit Hospital in Waukesha County diagnosed him with COVID-19 and placed him on a ventilator. He wanted to be given Ivermectin, so Allen began requesting that from the hospital, however, they refused.--Karen then returned to Crosstalk in January of this year after submitting oral arguments to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. She informed listeners that in a two day conference hearing with lawyers, a judge decided that John had a right to get Ivermectin as long as it was an outside doctor that the family found that could be credentialed, enter the hospital, and administer the Ivermectin. Before the order could be fulfilled, the appellate court intervened and stayed the order on the granting of the Ivermectin.--Karen's arguments were not about what treatment is best for COVID-19. Instead, she argued that this case is about the health care power of attorney and the rights that the legislature had given to Wisconsin citizens.--Last week the Wisconsin Supreme Court rendered its opinion 6-1 against the case presented by Karen.

The inventions, industrial heritage and redevelopments of Kenosha and Racine began the discussion. Topics ranged from Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural marvels in Racine, including Wingspread, to museums and lighthouses along the Lake Michigan shores. Ana got the update on the Peeps Competition at the Racine Art Museum. We moved inland to discuss unique places to visit including the Mars Cheese Castle and the Bong Recreation Area. The conversation continued to cover Burlington – in part for chocolate and their famous “Liar's Club” - and the nearby towns of Waterford and Rochester. From there, we worked clockwise into Walworth County with the draw of Lake Geneva and the incredible beauty and bevy of things to do and see around Geneva Lake, the ski hills at Alpine Valley and Grand Geneva, Elkhorn and the productive farms, orchards, and breweries nearby. The East Troy Railroad, which runs on the original interurban line that extended into Milwaukee, still runs to Mukwonago in Waukesha County and it's a great experience for kids and grown-ups alike. We then proceeded to cover Waukesha County, which combines dynamic cities and suburbs with the natural appeal of Kettle Moraine and numerous glacial lakes. Waukesha itself is vibrant and is getting increasingly known as “Guitar Town” since Les Paul, inventor of the electric guitar and multi-track recording, hailed from Waukesha. You can enjoy everything from history at Old World Wisconsin in Eagle to professional baseball with the Lake Country Dock Hounds in Oconomowoc. The 262 also covers areas north into Washington County, including Hartford with its automotive history, museums, and architecture; West Bend with its appliance manufacturing history and popular downtown; and Holy Hill, a national shrine that draws people from around the world. Finally, we head east into Ozaukee County, from Mequon up through Port Washington and Cedarburg. The shoreline of Lake Michigan north of Milwaukee's 414 area is quite different from south of Milwaukee, and we discuss how – and why. The accessible parklands along Lake Michigan in Ozaukee County include Lion's Den Gorge County Park and Harrington Beach State Park. Port Washington itself is a charming town with a New England feel, famous for fishing and its marine, lighthouses, and more. All these areas offer great history, museums, breweries, wineries, and unique spots to enjoy. We list and cover many of them by topic towards the end of the conversation, spreading the love all around “the 262.” Inside SponsorsBest Western: https://bit.ly/3zCCK3fMarshfield Clinic; All of Us Research Program; https://bit.ly/3Wj6pYj
Back on December 13th, the guest on this Crosstalk was interviewed about a critical case before the Wisconsin Supreme Court dealing with patient rights. The case is Allen Gahl v. Aurora Healthcare, Inc. --Questions in this case remain. What authority does a medical power of attorney hold-- What are patients rights when a hospital refuses a standard of care that the patient or his representative requests-- --Returning to Crosstalk to discuss this case was Karen Mueller. Karen is the founder - general counsel for Amos Center for Justice and Liberty. She's the lead attorney in this case representing Allen Gahl.--Allen Gahl is the nephew of, and medical power of attorney for, John Zingsheim. John became the focus of this case in October of 2021. He was admitted to Aurora Summit Hospital in Waukesha County where he was diagnosed with COVID. He wanted to be given Ivermectin, so Allen began requesting that from the hospital, however, they refused. --In a two day conference hearing with lawyers, a judge decided that John had a right to get Ivermectin as long as it was an outside doctor that the family found that could be credentialed, enter the hospital, and administer the Ivermectin.--Before the order could be fulfilled, the appellate court intervened and stayed the order on the granting of the Ivermectin. --Oral arguments in this case were presented before the Wisconsin Supreme Court a week ago. These arguments were not about what treatment is best for COVID-19. Instead, Karen argues that this case is about the health care power of attorney and the rights that the legislature had given to Wisconsin citizens.
