COUNTDOWN TO THE ELECTION: Steve asks political strategists Bill McCoshen on the right (and on the phone) and Joe Zepecki on the left and (in-studio) about how they think the election is going. Bill is hyped on the thinning margin between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris and Joe is as skeptical as always.

What is this race about? The economy? Foreign Policy More? Joe says all the above and Bill agrees but with some stipulations of course.

What exactly is the economy and what does it mean to voters? Joe tries to break it down.

Now, about the mayor of Wausau, the man who moved an unsecure ballot drop box.

POLITICAL JUNKIE POWERPOINT

-Joe is keeping 2020 J.D. Vance where he admitted Donald Trump’s economic policy failed.

-Bill is keeping Brett Favre who recently announced his Parkinson’s diagnosis.

-Joe is junking Trump’s abortion bans after the fall of Roe v Wade.

-Bill is junking congresspeople’s ability to trade stocks.

Grab bags:

-Bill was on a call with Tommy Thompson and Donald Trump and the former governor recited lines Bill wrote for him back in the day.

-Joe shouts out special counsel Jack Smith pushing more of asking what counts as an official act as president regarding Donand -Trump and a certain Supreme Court case.

Steve is going to the Packers tonight with his grandson Max and asks people to lower the alcohol consumption and swearing.
