There have been a lot of discussions in newsrooms about how Artificial Intelligence can either supplement reporting or undermine credibility. A Chicago newspaper learned the hard way just how badly AI can be set up to report stories that seem to be written by humans, only to discover the published product was an embarrassing work of fiction.

The House Republican tax bill gets a lot of attention for being a massive giveaway to the super-wealthy, but the package is even worse than advertised—though much of its impact wasn’t learned until after it passed because the process was so rushed. We’ll learn more from Courier Newsroom’s Keya Vakil. And for folks who used to watch Pat anchor the news in Eau Claire, prepare to hear something that’ll make you feel a little older.

Wisconsin’s senior senator and foremost conspiracy theorist is at it again. Sen. Ron Johnson could have been content wishing former President Biden a full recovery from his new battle with prostate cancer. Instead, he announced a committee investigation of Biden’s health and questioned his fitness for office. We’ll assess whether there’s validity to the questions or if it’s another ghoulish effort to distract from Johnson’s work to slash important services to fund tax cuts for folks in Johnson’s tax bracket and above. And we’ll continue our second round of interviews with candidates for state Democratic Party chair with Joe Zepecki.

Some of the people on the front lines of fighting American poverty are in the nation’s capital this week to warn about the real damage that will be done by cutting safety net programs like food assistance and healthcare coverage. We’ll also talk about the cuts being proposed to Planned Parenthood that won’t do a single thing to curtail abortion care—they’ll only hurt basic healthcare services to women and men across Wisconsin.

We open with a convenient new way for listeners to interact with their favorite shows with the Civic Media app. And we’ll examine new reporting about Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s conveniently timed stock sales, just prior to President Trump’s tariff details that sent markets crashing.

We’ll talk to first-term state Rep. Christian Phelps (D-Eau Claire) about what he’s seeing in the Assembly Education Committee as part of the state budget process. A lot of the material Republicans are putting in front of them seems to be about almost anything other than strengthening public schools, which is conventional behavior from them, given the kind of talk that came up at last weekend’s state Republican convention. We’ll also find out what Earl Ingram is working on for listeners to our Civic Media stations in southeast Wisconsin.

Remember when US Rep. Derrick Van Orden, a former Navy SEAL, claimed he would be an independent voice for veterans and positioned himself as standing up against budget cuts that would hurt vets? After stiff-arming constituents by refusing to hold town halls, the only voice he’s hearing is from the guy in the White House who wants massive cuts to the Veterans Administration. So it wasn’t a big surprise to hear Van Orden trot out the “bureaucracy” bogeyman in his latest promise that VA cuts would be all about bureaucrats and not the quality of veterans’ health care. Also: Dan Shafer talked to us about his recent column on which legislators will be watched closely for signs of bipartisanship in their newly-competitive districts.

Pat and Dan Shafer talk about recent election results around the world that again show how politicians trying to bring Trumpism to their countries aren’t seeing a lot of results at the ballot box. And Chad Holmes talks about a personal healthcare experience that should remind all men of a certain age not to take their health for granted.
