Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey open the show by discussing Senator Rand Paul’s criticism of Congress for ceding power to the executive branch and what that says about political leadership. They also react to shutdown fallout impacting TSA workers and reflect on party loyalty and political identity.
Later, Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Judge Maria Lazar joins in-studio to discuss her campaign, Justice Annette Kingsland Ziegler’s decision not to seek re-election, how voters should evaluate judicial candidates, and her call to “lower the temperature” in state politics. The show wraps with a look at Live Nation’s dominance in ticketing and their recent lawsuit settlement. And of course, Ask Us Anything!
