Adam Murphy joined La Crosse Talk PM on Friday, deep diving into the electrification of the nation. Before we got into that, however, we spent a bit of time on the confusing "economy," Donald Trump's immunity claim, and immigration.

Murphy, who has degrees in economics and political science from UW-Milwaukee, owns a small tech business, called Big Bang LLC, in Milwaukee.

The second half of the show (18:30) was a multi-layered discussion about electrification, from solar housing somehow producing too much energy to EV charging stations and how the government should be utilized to overhaul the nation into electric — like a nation of F-150 Lightnings.

William Garcia in the WIZM studio Thursday for La Crosse Talk PM discussing the upcoming US House candidate Democratic forum on Wednesday at UW-La Crosse, the peculiar timing of new policies passed by the Biden Administration and politicians useless campaign posts.

Garcia is the Democratic Party chair for both La Crosse County and the 3rd US House District here in Wisconsin.

Began the show discussing the first of four US House forums for the 3rd District between Rebecca Cooke, Katrina Shankland and Eric Wilson in Eau Claire and, later in the show (30:10) got into more of how those are conducted and how you can get involved (Email questions to Garcia here).

We then got into the timing of recently passed policies (7:50) by the Biden Administration on overtime pay for salary workers, doing away with noncompetes and airlines having to pay back customers immediately for cancellations, among other things.

That led to a discussion (13:45) on what the US House has done along the same regards of helping everyday people, though it has only passed 27 bills in 16 months — when a typical Congress passes 250-300 bills.

In the second half of the show (20:45) we discussed how politicians have no substance to what they’re doing on the campaign trail, positing pictures of themselves here or there, saying they’re talking about issues, but never relaying any of that information to voters who want to know either where they stand or what they’re doing to combat said issues. 

Next (22:50), we discussed Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to La Crosse and all the things she did during her that campaign stop.

We also talked about the optics and normality of the scope of her visit, that included a round-table discussion and an invite-only speech, vs., for example, a Donald Trump rally. 

In the last segment (34:40) we talk about Republican US Senate candidate Eric Hovde messing up the Pledge of Allegiance earlier this week and how stupid things our politicians do are funny, but we should be focusing on their policies more than their gaffs.

Council members, Mackenzie Mindel and Mac Kiel, in the WIZM studio for La Crosse Talk PM discussing city being 1 of 100 awarded youth climate grant funding, selling the south side library building and a homeless plan update.

Kiel and Mindel are on the Judiciary and Administration Committee, which meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday. We began the show reviewing one decision by the council last month on a state law dealing with supermajorities. 

Mindel also talked (10:45) about her experience meeting Vice President Kamala Harris, who came to La Crosse last Monday.

After that, Kiel gave a bit of a homeless update, as she goes out with the Homeless Outreach Team each week.

Began the second half of the show (20:20) with a J&A agenda item to rezone for an ethnic grocery store and apartments on the south side.

Then we spent a good amount of time (23:10) discussing the city receiving $50,000 to award to youth groups as part of the Youth Climate Action Fund.

Wrapped up the show (32:00) discussing the potential sale of the old south side library building and one hiccup in the plan in that it could get historic designation.
