He's the La Crosse Talk PM political blowhard, Adam Murphy, talking about why debates aren't that great — as Democrats in Wisconsin's 3rd CD may not have one — how Ron Johnson forgot to tone it down, Democrat Bob Menendez guilty of gold bars under his mattress, and the Teamsters president speaks at the RNC in Milwaukee.

Began the show talking about the ridiculous story of US Sen. Bob Menedez being found guilty, after he was caught with $150,000 worth of gold bars and $480,000 in stacks of $100 bills. 

After that, we got into debates. The 3rd US House District Democrats may not have a televised debate (they have had multiple forums throughout the district). Murphy gives his take on why debates aren't all that helpful.

After that, we get into the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, including JD Vance as Donald Trump's running mate, and how Ron Johnson's unity speech wasn't all that unifying — even the rewritten one he forgot to give on stage. And, lastly, Murphy talks of the uniqueness of Sean O’Brien, the Teamsters president, speaking for 17 minutes at the RNC.

Murphy is a small business owner of Big Bang LLC in Milwaukee. He holds degrees in economics and political science from UW-Milwaukee.
