Summer is the season of home renovation projects, so this afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: carpeting or wood floors? We take texts and calls on whether you’d rather have stained floors or cold feet. 

After that, Todd addresses the chaos that the Trump administration’s budget proposals will cause in Wisconsin’s rural health care systems. A year ago, a rural nursing home in Sauk County warned that they would have to close if their funding was not addressed within the year. Now, they’re likely going to vote to shut their doors in a week. This has been happening across our state for years, and if MAGA Republicans get their way with our federal and state budgets, it’s going to get a whole lot worse very quickly.

This Wednesday, we are joined by our typical midweek guests, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project. We begin the show with an explanation of today’s unanimous state Supreme Court decision that limits the governor’s extremely powerful line item veto. Todd, Trygve and Pat also discuss the latest Marquette Law School Poll results and whether or not Tony Evers should run for a third term as governor. According to the latest results, 55% of Wisconsinites believe that he should not run again. However, who would be a better alternative?

After a brief recap of last night’s storms across the state, Todd brings us an update on the Israel-Iran conflict. The Trump administration appears to believe that a centuries-long conflict can be solved in a day, declaring a simple cease-fire agreement between the two countries. On the White House lawn, President Trump expressed frustration with the state of the conflict, saying that Israel and Iran “have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f*** they’re doing.” His statements exemplify Trump’s inability to effectively serve in an office as important and distinguished as President of the United States. 

At the bottom of the hour, Todd brings attention to the foolishness of our Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. In another senate hearing, he admits that he has no idea what his department’s current guidelines actually are. 

At the end of our first hour, Todd gives kudos to Governor Tony Evers for his efforts to support childcare providers in our state.

At the bottom of the hour, Wisconsin Watch Statehouse Bureau Chief Matt DeFour joins us to talk about a constructive way to use AI: rapid fact checking. Artificial intelligence is very good at condensing massive amounts of information that can then be verified by a human. Wisconsin Watch is using a new tool called Parser to quickly summarize interviews and public meetings and suggest newsworthy claims. This allows journalists to cover significantly more ground in a shorter amount of time, which is important in today’s world of rapid-fire headlines.

According to Channel 3000, UW leadership are making moves in anticipation of this cut.
