While the Donald Trump looks to bail out Argentina with $20 billion in taxpayer money, we look at how the administration’s tariff policy is affecting Wisconsin farmers.

China has retaliated against tariffs by not buying any U.S. soybeans — instead buying from the aforementioned Argentina. This podcast was also recorded before Trump announced quadrupling Argentine beef imports while US ranchers fume.

Missy Hughes on her bid to be Wisconsin’s next governor

Wisconsin state Sen. Kelda Roys was recently in La Crosse and took some time with us to discuss her bid to be the next governor. We deep dive with Roys on funding education, helping with childcare and buying into the state's healthcare and pension plans. We also discuss how control of the Legislature and governor is on the line and how some Republican legislation is changing, including on IVF, which Roys explains is hypocritical — a bill Democrats have had for years.

Wisconsin state Sen. Kelda Roys on running for governor

While the Wisconsin state Legislature works just 17 more days before taking off until 2027, it did vote on around 50 bills in one day.

We discuss some of the Republican bills are simply passed for culture war purposes to be used during the campaign season with the governor’s seat up for grabs in November.

Those bills include defunding public education, redefining abortion, using undocumented immigrants as pawns in healthcare, and creating added bureaucracy to create more hoops for those who apply for welfare. 

We also discussed a bill to create a candy and soda database at the tune of $6 million to make sure people on food stamps can’t spend it on such things, and another bill on human trafficking that would put children at risk of unnecessary punishment.
