The economy's bouncing back—but who's really benefiting? On this episode of Point Taken, WTMJ hosts Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey dive into the latest GDP rebound and what it means for your wallet. Then they tackle the thorny issue of lawmakers trading stocks with insider knowledge—should we ban it altogether, or just pay Congress more? Senator Josh Hawley’s latest proposal has Capitol Hill buzzing.

From D.C. to denim, Steve and Kristin also break down the controversy around American Eagle’s ad featuring actress Sydney Sweeney and the strange online backlash. Plus, Milwaukee’s own Tory Lowe joins to discuss rising violence in the city and the community-led solutions that could make a real difference.

Later in the show: Wisconsin’s vaccine opt-out bill, the environmental toll of AI and data centers, and a rapid-fire Ask Us Anything where no topic is off-limits—from piano songs to Foxconn fallout to Ghislaine Maxwell.
