Jim Santelle
Brittany Kinser (Hour 2)
We have a conversation with Brittany Kinser about her campaign for state Superintendent of Public Instruction. As an advocate of charter and voucher schools, we’ll ask how she intends to have three things at once: strong public schools, taxpayer-supported private schools, and taxpayers who don’t mind paying for two systems. Also: Our week-in-review panel looks at how President Trump shows no sign of letting up on the steamroller that’s been wearing down national media and Senate Democratic leadership.

Brad Is Marked “Sold, As Is” (Hour 1)
Judges Susan Crawford and Brad Schimel had their one and only debate last night and we want to know what you thought. While Brad Schimel shirked questions on rape kits and past cases, apparently Susan Crawford didn't smile enough? And if you want to learn more about either Judges Crawford or Schimel, click on their names. Then it's Thursday, so we welcome Jim Santelle, Host of Amicus: A Law Review to the program to discuss all the law that's in the news. Including another order being blocked by the courts and why Brad Schimel shouldn't be so open about what he plans to do from the bench.

Trumps Ends Local Service Offices (Hour 2)
Step away for a moment from the big numbers about all the people President Trump is terminating. Look at the local level and you’ll see how your federal tax dollars help provide services through offices around the country. Trump and Elon Musk are closing more than a dozen such offices around our state. We’ll tell you what they do and how the guys who promised to make government more efficient are in the process of making much less efficient.

This White House Support Vets* (Hour 1)
*Unless this White House feels you are "too lazy" or unwilling to come into work, then you're on your own, as more and more federal workers (30% of total fed workers being Veterans) are fired. We've been talking a lot about Brad Schimel and his thoughts on abortion access and legislative maps, but now we're adding another point into the mix: The Affordable Care Act, which (as you might guess) Judge Schimel opposes. Then Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review is now our weekly guest and today we're talking about a major decision from The Supreme Court and how one Justice is shocking the The Felon President.

A dark day for democracy (Hour 2)
Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, guest hosts on what marks a dark day for our democracy. Indeed, this is a dark day for all those who believe in the right of We the People to self governance. Because on this day, our President demonstrated his alignment not with the will of the People but with the oligarchs and autocracy of Russia. President Zelensky of Ukraine met with our nation's President and Vice President to negotiate and sign a deal today exchanging Ukraine's natural resources for our support in Ukraine's existential struggle against Russia. Instead, our chief executives berated, belittled, and bullied the leader of a sovereign democratic nation. And the groups parted without committing to a deal. A dark day indeed.
Still, we end the day with something good. As difficult as it is to summon up anything good to share, that itself marks the importance of doing so. On dark days like today, we must- MUST- resist the temptation to fall into despair. For celebrating love, light, and human connection is itself a form of resistance to the darkest intentions of authoritarianism.

The World Order Shifts (Hour 1)
Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, guest hosts for the day. On this, a momentous and frankly terrifying day as the world order, which has for centuries now ticked along towards governance by We the People, once more shifts. Today, the 47th President of the United States met in the Oval Office with President Zelensky of Ukraine along with our nation's Vice President. The exchange began professionally- though not warmly- and ended in disaster. In what may be a moment of reflection in future years as a moment of dramatic shift in the world order, our nation's highest executive ejected an allied leader from the White House. Watch the full exchange here, events turn fully contentious around the 37 minute mark.

DOGE – Not a Department, Part of Government, or Efficient
In hour two, the guys get on to the topic of DOGE's promised $5,000 dividends, a complete financial impossibility. They also dive into how Musk has wormed his way into ALL of government data, and later, welcome on Attorney and host of Amicus: A Law Review, Jim Santelle. The guys chat with him all about the security crisis the federal government faces, as agency after agency is invaded by Elon Musk and DOGE. They also chat about the courts, and the pending lawsuits against Musk and Trump, with weariness as to their true effectiveness. Wrapping up, we pick Jim's brain on Trump's claim to create regulation ('I am the law'), in the wake of last year's SCOTUS Chevron Doctrine overturn, blocking the executive branch from creating policy.

No Guardrails (Hour 2)
This week’s confirmation of Kash Patel as FBI director puts the final nail in the coffin of anyone’s hopes that Senate Republicans would stand for integrity when faced with a slate of unqualified and dangerous Cabinet appointees. We’ll review this week’s political headlines with journalists Mark Jacob, Jennifer Schulze, and former US Attorney Jim Santelle. Also: A bittersweet conversation with Dan Schumacher of Northland College, where he and others learned this week that the small college in Ashland will shut down at the end of the academic year.
