Rage Sells on Social Media

WTMJ host Steve Scaffidi was joined by WISN’s Matt Smith to discuss the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, political reactions from leaders like former Governor Scott Walker, and the heightened calls for security at public events. They also broke down the latest in Wisconsin’s governor’s race as State Senator Kelda Roys joined the field, alongside Josh Shoemann and David Crowley. Later, Steve spoke with Bridge Entertainment Labs founder Steve Olikara about his history with Kirk and how the tragedy underscores America’s deepening divides and the toxic role of social media. Annex Wealth’s Dr. Brian Jacobson rounded out the show with insights on the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts, the jobs report, U.S.–China trade tensions, and what all of it means for Wisconsin’s economy.
