Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey are joined by WISN-TV political director Matt Smith to unpack his firsthand coverage of the Judge Hannah Dugan trial, including what stood out in court and what could come next on appeal. They also break down new investigations involving the Wisconsin Department of Justice, from scrutiny over a Bloomberg-funded investment to a federal DOJ request for voter information — and Attorney General Josh Kaul’s sharp pushback.

Then the show lightens up. Steve and Kristin open the phones to ask listeners one essential holiday question: what’s the most overrated Christmas thing? (Steve has strong feelings about McDonald’s dropping the Eggnog shake.)

In the Monday Market Preview, Annex Wealth Management weighs in on holiday spending, credit card debt, the possibility of a Santa Claus Rally, and what the economy could look like in 2026.

They close with ESPN Milwaukee’s Alex Strouf, breaking down the Packers’ tough loss to the Bears, media meltdowns, and Christmas plans.
