Dr. Kristin Lyerly joins the Matenaer on Air Show with Jane and Greg to talk about the recent press conference from President Trump regarding Tylenol and the unsubstantiated claim of its link to autism if taken by pregnant folks. Dr. Lyerly lays it out in plain flavored English that the study referenced by The White House, while having data which is corroborated, is very narrow in its scope and shouldn't be used to issue such a decree from the president. She also stresses the importance of taking all questions to your doctor, listening to the experts and Dr. Lyerly reassures those who have children with autism, that they did nothing wrong and it isn't their fault.

We then shift our focus to Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba. He is joined by Travel Wisconsin’s Logan Wroge for some trivia fun and talks about what is going on around our great state this fall.

Next, we have Mornings with Pat Krietlow. Pat speaks with Jill Underly, Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction, to talk about the annual “State of Education” remarks she recently delivered at the State Capitol. Underly explains how under the Trump administration, the federal government has become the biggest bully in our classrooms. And she addresses whether she thinks the public is recognizing how the legislature is shortchanging public schools, which is forcing a record number of local referendums asking people to raise their property taxes.

To end the first hour of the Civic Media Spotlight, we have the John and Gordy Show discussing Tom Homan, the former acting director of ICE. Gordy mocked Tom Homan's voice by doing an over-the-top impression of him, comparing his voice to that of a professional wrestler. JAG found it particularly funny when Homan, in his passionate defense, began referring to himself in the third person, stating, "Tom Homan isn't going anywhere. Tom Homan is not shutting up."
