Steve Scaffidi is joined in-studio by CBS58 reporter A.J. Bayatpour live at the Wisconsin State Fair. They reflect on the Milwaukee Sikh Temple shooting, which happened 12 years ago today. Steve was Mayor of Oak Creek at the tiem and A.J. was a young reporter at FOX6

A.J. and Steve recall the kindness from the Sikh community after the tragedy. Steve asks A.J. what he learned from reporting on it; he says that sometimes, it’s best to say/ask less. Steve learned to be calm for his community as he learned from the former mayor of Aurora, Colorado

Steve and A.J, pivot to a more ought-hearted conversation about the State Fair and the food; it’s A.J.’s first day at the fair this year.

A.J. and Steve review the potential VP choices for Kamala Harris as she tours the U.S. for her search and campaign. A.J. compares the need for balance for Kamala to Trump’s more “double-down” approach with selecting J.D. Vance. Steve asks A.J. if there’s power in a Two Women VP pick. A.J. says it’s about picking someone who isn’t a liability like John McCain picking Sarah Palin. In the end, A.J. thinks she will pick Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro or Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

Steve and A.J. discuss the two referenda on the August ballot in Wisconsin that will decide on the legislature having oversight on state spending instead of giving sole discretion from the governor. A.J. weighs the pros and cons and Steve tells listeners to do their homework.

Stocks are down severely at the start of the week, A.J. wonders if this will be a big hit for Kamala Harris’s poll numbers.
