Wisconsin Assembly Rep. Steve Doyle in studio discussing Donald Trump's guilty verdict, what the state should do about A.I. and how we haven't used much of the $4 billion in budget surplus. We also talked about plastic pollution, charging people in the Wisconsin false electors scheme, plus the half-hearted effort from Republicans in the Legislature on veto overrides that cost taxpayers. First big topic we got into (7:15) was Wisconsin Attorney General charging three Republicans in the false electors scheme to overturn the 2020 election in the state. We merged that conversation into one about the the Trump trial (12:45). Doyle was asked whether he was surprised by the verdict. He also drew some comparisons to Bill Clinton's impeachment in the 90s and whether this will help or hurt Trump politically. After that (16:30) we talked about A.I., as Doyle was on a committee in trying to determine how the state should handle things. Asked Doyle whether we should be regulating A.I. in terms of making art or creating news articles. Turned that conversation into one about plastics (25:15) and if the government should step in and try to regulate these things. Next we talked about the state's $3.5-$4 billion budget surplus (29:45) the state has been sitting on for over two years. What could it be used on? That led to a conversation about (33:00) businesses getting millions for building an EV charging network and ended quickly on the Legislature's veto override sessions where Republicans never even followed through, yet it cost taxpayers. Began the show talking quick about Doyle's new voting district and how he's navigating a new voting base.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's program, a prominent Anglican bishop is forced to take a leave of absence for his handling of a sexual abuse case in his diocese. And the Wisconsin Attorney General has declared war on clergy sex abuse. We also have the story of McLean Bible Church in the Washington, D.C., area. McLean Bible Church is one of the largest and most influential churches in the nation. Because of its proximity to Washington, D.C., many government officials, Capitol Hill staffers, and thought leaders are members. Its pastor, David Platt, was the youngest megachurch pastor in the country, when he led the Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Alabama, more than a decade ago. Today, he is a bestselling author and he came to McLean Bible Church from his role as president of Southern Baptist Convention's International Missions Board. But all is not well there now. Also on today's program: Mt. Bethel United Methodist Church, in the Atlanta suburb of Marietta, has about 8,000 members and is one of the largest congregations in the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church. The conference said in a statement Monday that it was “acting out of love for the church and its mission," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. The Mt. Bethel church also has the Mt. Bethel Christian Academy. According to the statement from the conference, the title to the congregation's real, personal, tangible and intangible property was immediately transferred to the conference's Board of Trustees, “who may hold or dispose of such property in its sole discretion.” Also today: A reminder that “Faith-Based Fraud” is now available at Audible.com.

Stu Levitan welcomes R. Richard (Dick) Wagner for a special Pride Month encore presentation of our conversation about his award-wining We've Been Here All Along: Wisconsin's Early Gay History, from our very good friends at the Wisconsin Historical Society Press. The book covers the period from territorial days to the 1960s; Dick's companion volume, Coming Out, Moving Forward: Wisconsin's Recent Gay History brings the story up to the present day. In 1982, under Republican Governor Lee Dreyfus, Wisconsin became the first state in the country to adopt a gay rights law, making discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation illegal. In 1983, under Democratic Governor Tony Earl, Wisconsin became the first state to have a Governor's Commission on Lesbian and Gay Issues. Wisconsin is the only state to have elected three openly gay members of Congress – 2 Democrats, 1 Republican. But the dairy state has not always been so friendly to non-normative sexuality. In fact, laws against gay sex predate the state. When the Wisconsin Territory was created in 1836, territorial legislators took the law against sodomy from the Michigan Territory and increased the penalty from three years to five. In 1905, the Wisconsin Attorney General called oral sex “this unspeakable offense,” ‘the infamous crime,' degrading and disgusting.” In 1928, the Supreme Court called sodomy “repulsive and detestable,” but “too prevalent to be ignored.” In the 1940s, Wisconsin criminalized even thinking gay, passing the Sexual Psychopath Law to prosecute people whose impulsiveness of behavior rendered them sexually irresponsible – whether or not they ever acted on those supposed impulses. Even that citadel of sifting and winnowing, the University of Wisconsin, got into the gay-bashing business, investigating hundreds of gay students in the fifties and early sixties, and sending many of them for therapeutic discipline. UW business manager A.W. Peterson even took the doors off the toilet stalls in the Bascom Hall men's rooms, to stop gay assignations. It's part of our state's history that most people, straight or gay, don't know, but should. Because a community cannot fully know itself, or be fully known by others, without knowing its history. As they say, you can't know where you're going if you don't know where you've been. There is no one more qualified or appropriate to write this groundbreaking history of early gay life in Wisconsin than Dick Wagner, who is himself historic, as the first openly gay member of the Dane County Board of Supervisors. He even lives in a landmarked building on Jenifer Street which long before he came to town was a center of Madison gay life. Dick came to Madison as a graduate student in history in 1965, getting his doctorate in 1971. In 1972, Gov. Pat Lucey named him executive director of the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission. After Lucey resigned in the summer of 1977 to become Ambassador to Mexico, Dick ran the executive residence for Gov. Martin Schreiber until January 1979, when he joined the Department of Administration as a budget analyst. Dick retired from state service in 2005. In addition to serving on the Dane County Board from 1980-1994 – including four years as the first openly gay county board chair in Wisconsin – Dick's record of state and local public service is extensive. In 1983, Gov. Tony Early appointed him co-chair of the aforementioned Governor's Council on Lesbian and Gay Issues. That same year, he co-founded the New Harvest Foundation, a funding source for south central Wisconsin's LGBT communities. Dick stepped down last year as chair of the Madison Urban Design Commission, following service on the Plan Commission, Landmarks Commission, Wisconsin Arts Board, Wisconsin Humanities Council, and numerous other organizations. In recognition not just of his service but the way he served, Dick was named the first recipient of the city of Madison's Jeffrey Clay Erlanger Civility in Public Discourse Award, in 2007. And on a personal note – I had the pleasure of serving with Dick on the Dane County Board and the Plan Commission, and there is no one whose intelligence, integrity and decency I respect more. It is a pleasure to welcome to Madison BookBeat my friend, Dick Wagner.
On today's show, Matt Kittle, executive director of Empower Wisconsin and Wisconsin Spotlight, once again stands in for Vicki, who is taking some well-deserved R&R. Conservatives are making strides on school boards and city councils in the Badger State, but there's a long way to go to bring back reason to local governance. Mark Jefferson, Executive Director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin stops by to go over the lay of the land in local politics. Heritage Foundation senior fellow Mike Gonzalez calls to talk about Critical Race Theory and his book, "The Plot to Change America: How Identity Politics is Devising the Land of the Free." Wisconsin Attorney General conservative candidate Ryan Owens joins the show to talk about what people really want out of their local government. And Christian Toto of the fantastic conservative entertainment review site, Hollywood in Toto, checks to talk stars who incite violence and the double standard that is Tinseltown. Also, Matt opens the phone lines with: "Barney Miller is the best cop show. Change my mind."
On today's show.... Vicki talks with Judge Jim Troupis on the complaint filed against Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Brian Hagedorn for discussing the Trump recount case with the media. U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson calls to talk about the response from yesterday's interview in the media and alternate treatments for COVID-19. Author John Zmirak from The Stream (stream.org) joins the show to talk about his recent article, "The Derek Chauvin Verdict: Most Just, Certainly Ominous," the cowardice of the Right, and why Vicki is in Facebook timeout...again. Horace Cooper, Co-Chairman of the Project 21 National Advisory Board, calls to discuss current racism, segregation, discrimination. And itinerant co-host Brian Schimming helps Vicki close out the show in the studio, talking the shooting in Columbus, how soap dispensers are now racist, and the Wisconsin Attorney General investigating the Catholic Church, but not election fraud.
Dan talks with conservative UW professor Ryan Owens, who announced Monday that he is running for Wisconsin Attorney General.
Stu Levitan welcomes R. Richard (Dick) Wagner, author of We've Been Here All Along: Wisconsin's Early Gay History, covering the period from territorial days to the 1960s. It's from our friends at the Wisconsin Historical Society Press, which in September will publish his companion volume, Coming Out, Moving Forward: Wisconsin's Recent Gay History. Some breaking news about volume one – it was just awarded the gold medal in the LGBT category by the Independent Publishers association. In 1982, under Republican Governor Lee Dreyfus, Wisconsin became the first state in the country to adopt a gay rights law, making discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation illegal. In 1983, under Democratic Governor Tony Earl, Wisconsin became the first state to have a Governor's Commission on Lesbian and Gay Issues. Wisconsin is the only state to have elected three openly gay members of Congress – 2 Democrats, 1 Republican. But the dairy state has not always been so friendly to non-normative sexuality. In fact, laws against gay sex predate the state. When the Wisconsin Territory was created in 1836, territorial legislators took the law against sodomy from the Michigan Territory and increased the penalty from three years to five. In 1905, the Wisconsin Attorney General called oral sex “this unspeakable offense,” ‘the infamous crime,' degrading and disgusting.” In 1928, the Supreme Court called sodomy “repulsive and detestable,” but “too prevalent to be ignored.” In the 1940s, Wisconsin criminalized even thinking gay, passing the Sexual Psychopath Law to prosecute people whose impulsiveness of behavior rendered them sexually irresponsible – whether or not they ever acted on those supposed impulses. Even that citadel of sifting and winnowing, the University of Wisconsin, got into the gay-bashing business, investigating hundreds of gay students in the fifties and early sixties, and sending many of them for therapeutic discipline. UW business manager A.W. Peterson even took the doors off the toilet stalls in the Bascom Hall men's rooms, to stop gay assignations. It's part of our state's history that most people, straight or gay, don't know, but should. Because a community cannot fully know itself, or be fully known by others, without knowing its history. As they say, you can't know where you're going if you don't know where you've been. There is no one more qualified or appropriate to write this groundbreaking history of early gay life in Wisconsin than Dick Wagner, who is himself historic, as the first openly gay member of the Dane County Board of Supervisors.

38 Minutes Descriptions of Graphic Violence Pete asked Michael Bell Sr. to come on the show and talk about the 2004 murder of his son by Kenosha, Wisconsin police. Mr. Bell tells the story in graphic detail and specifically talks about the active cover-up by the police department to absolve themselves of blame. One officer involved has since taken his own life but two, including the Lt. who gave the order to shoot, and the order follower who pulled the trigger, have suffered no consequences even after it was proven they acted purposefully to cover this up.
