Bruce Klopfleisch dives into the latest Supreme Court drama, breaking down why he thinks the MAGA-aligned bench is doing Steve Bannon some serious favors while ignoring legal precedents. Bruce lays out a practical roadmap for reforming the court, ranging from age limits to jurisdiction stripping, before pivoting to a much-needed “good news” segment. You’ll hear why recent election results and a massive surge in small-donor fundraising have him feeling surprisingly optimistic about the momentum heading into the midterms.

Laura Hedlund is joined fellow AM 950 host Philip Anthony of the Downright Upright Show to swap stories about their “lazy yards” and the magic of freezing garden raspberries for that perfect summer smoothie. They don’t shy away from the heavy stuff either, digging into how heart-centered economics and local farming can help fix a global food system that often feels like it’s losing its way. It’s a grounded, hopeful look at how we can protect our water, our soil, and each other through the simple power of community and conscious living.
