Start of a new week that looks to have a lot of sunshine thoughout. Wausau Events releases their 2026 calendar and it looks like another year of great opportunities for fun in the Wausau area. CNN's chief visits the White House last week and then tells his staff to stop talking so much about the destruction of the East wing of the White House. We can't count on the media, the rich, the powerful to save our democracy. Further evidence as we list the Trump scandals of the last week alone that haven't been covered sufficiently. It will be up to the people as the powerful aren't doing the job.

We preview a busy Level 1 playoff night for our area High School football teams. Plus Paul Michlig joins us to talk Brewers, Bucks, Packers and more. Finally, hear the chilling comments of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller. Plus Ian take the Number of the Day quiz!

We talk to Sean Wright, Executive Director of the Grand Theater and Wausau Performing Arts Foundation about some of the recent shows that have staged at the Grand, a busy fall schedule that's coming up and the latest on the Second Century Campaign. Also some classic game show talk and Ian takes the Number of the Day quiz.

More racist texts from a Republican. This time from Trump's nominee to lead the Office of Special Council. Plus it's time to talk about Trump's unlawful bombings of boats with no evidence provided that they are transporting drugs. Is it murder?
