Dr. Kristin Lyerly
Evers’ Big Announcement and Economic Chaos
Wisconsin's political world is abuzz with speculation: will Governor Tony Evers seek a third term? This hour examines the ripple effects of his possible departure, raising concerns about Democratic strategy, leadership succession, and widening fundraising gaps. Maggie also critiques Evers’ biannual budgeting approach, asking whether it's keeping pace with Wisconsin’s real-time needs. The conversation pivots to the national economy. Dr. Josh Bivens from the Economic Policy Institute (epi.org) joins Maggie to break down key trends—rising inflation now at 2.7%, looming recession risks, and the destabilizing effects of Trump’s tariff tactics—while emphasizing the critical role of an independent Federal Reserve. Finally, Maggie, along with Dr. Kristin Lyerly, explores the human cost of the so-called “Big Brutal Bill,” sharing powerful personal stories of families forced to ration healthcare and struggle with food insecurity.

Yelling at Smoke (Hour 2)
Some Wisconsin members of Congress get rightly criticized for taking shots at Canada while its forests are ablaze. The Republicans who complained about all the smoke don’t have their own stellar record when it comes to forest management.

Can We Deport Bigots? (Hour 1)
The US Supreme Court made a ruling on birthright citizenship that isn’t as broad as President Trump is claiming, but it does stretch out the legal fight to protect yet another basic right. Also: The state budget had potential to be done by today’s deadline, but it’s not happening thanks to Republicans in disarray. Plus Dr. Kristin Lyerly tells us about her weekend excursion to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Draw a Line. Hold the Line. (Hour 3)
Pat and Dr. Kristin Lyerly talk about Emily Tseffos new column in Dan Shafer’s website The Recombobulation Area, calling on Gov. Tony Evers to use all of the tools at his disposal to get a good state budget: the bully pulpit, the veto pen, and the trust of the people. She and others want Evers to define a standard that supports education, childcare, healthcare, and more—and veto a budget bill that falls short rather than trying to fix it with partial vetoes.

Dobbs at Three (Hour 2)
We’re joined by Dr. Kristin Lyerly, who testified in Washington, DC on Tuesday as part of the marking of the three-year anniversary of the Dobbs decision, when right wing US Supreme Court justices repealed women’s healthcare rights protected for nearly 50 years by Roe v. Wade.

Iran Surrenders (sarcasm) (Hour 1)
An unconstitutional act of war, followed by a ridiculous idea that the weekend attack was a “one-off” and that Iran will simply give up trying to build or acquire nuclear weapons. Now the entire world waits to see if Donald Trump’s reckless gamble actually pays off or if it leads to terrorism, cyber attacks, or military action that puts American troops in harm’s way—all for a president who originally scrapped the landmark deal that had been working to keep the peace.

Medical Ignorance Is No Joke (Hour 3)
Can you learn to drive by watching NASCAR videos? Can you survive a fall from a cliff if you watch enough Road Runner cartoons? So who thinks the best approach to helping pregnant women stay healthy is to show them an incomplete, feel-good video that glosses over important information? A western Wisconsin congressman, for one. We’ll talk to obstetrician-gynecologist Kristin Lyerly about a growing number of states where conservatives are mandating these videos in school.
