Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey opened the show with the nation’s 15th government shutdown since 1981, debating who’s to blame and how long it could last. They later welcomed Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann, who shared why he’s running for Wisconsin governor and his priorities on retirees, veterans, and city funding.
In the second hour, the hosts reacted to President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s rally-like meeting with military leaders, took listener reactions, and closed the show with their weekly Ask Us Anything segment—covering everything from the Brewers’ playoff hopes to kids’ soccer to whether the political pendulum will ever swing back to center.
