It doesn't start off the show, but Adam Murphy and I discuss a new Microsoft data center going up in Wisconsin in the Foxconn plant area, which is going to be a major energy suck. Something that Donald Trump recently spoke about, and we all might agree with him that the government needs to do something.

Before that, though, we started off with Hunger Task Force (HTF) of La Crosse executive director Shelly Fortner on food scarcity. 

Among the things we talked to Fortner about included the need for volunteers at the HTF, plus how the food bank, pantries and food programs are struggling, and might have to consolidate a bit as to not duplicate services. 

The HTF is the only food bank between Madison and Rochester, distributing goods to 120 meal sites, food pantries, youth and backpack programs in the region.

After that (15:30), Murphy, who we call our political blowhard, discusses A.I., data centers and the massive amounts of energy they need to exist. But we started that interview with Donald Trump talking about this in a more simplistic fashion. Trump's comments came at a Bitcoin conference at the end of July.

Ended the show (32:40) with a quick rant on the August primary coming to an end Tuesday, and how ridiculous it is Republicans put two Wisconsin constitutional amendments on a ballot that will see a ridiculously low turnout.
