| 12/19/25 | Megalomaniac Run Amok (Hour 2) | We’ll have one more go-round with our Week In Review panel and ask them “what have we learned” in 2025 — and how can we take those lessons and apply them toward getting our country back on track in 2026. Given that the president just renamed a nationally cherished facility as the Trump Kennedy Center, we clearly have our work cut out for us.

| 12/19/25 | The Empire Strikes Back (Hour 1) | They say the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice… but that doesn’t mean there won’t be some injustices along the way. Donald Trump’s police state wins a round by securing a felony conviction for a judge who stood up for independent courts free from chaos, interference, and intimidation. We begin our goodbyes as “Mornings with Pat Kreitlow” ends its run on Civic Media.

| 12/18/25 | (Not) At Your Service (Hour 3) | It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy for those who want government to fail: Slash what’s working, blame government itself for being dysfunctional, rinse, repeat. We’ll talk to Joe Zepecki about the latest moves that reduce customer service and increase cynicism about how things work in Madison.

| 12/18/25 | Connect the Dots Already (Hour 2) | A new report by a nonpartisan research group needed more than 2,300 words to describe why this month’s property tax bills for 2025 are so much higher than last year. They really only needed a handful of words to connect the dots: A Republican Legislature passed the buck. Rather than contribute a fair share to local governments and the education of our children, GOP lawmakers once again forced municipalities and educators to look like the bad guys just to maintain current services. Also: Sean O’Malley has the latest view of a still-slumping job market.

| 12/18/25 | Republican Rift on Health Care (Hour 1) | In Congress, a discharge petition is an extremely rare tool. A majority of members can sign it to force a full vote on a matter, even if the leadership wants to keep it bottled up. For the fourth time, House Speaker Mike Johnson has had his hand forced by members of his own party joining with Democrats. This time, it’s to allow an up-or-down vote on resurrecting the tax credits that helped keep health insurance affordable for 20 million Americans. It’s only the latest sign of economic dysfunction from GOP lawmakers and the president, as we’ll show with some end-of-the-year Wisconsin numbers. Also: Grumpy president screams at TV cameras in a not-at-all unhinged “speech” about the economy.

| 12/17/25 | Pigeon Finds a Home (Hour 3) | One of our favorite long-running stories on this show got the nickname “Pigeon Quest” because Melissa Kaye, from our Civic Media station in Wisconsin Rapids, embarked on a detailed mission to adopt a rescue pigeon. So, yes, we learned that rescue pigeons are a thing. Before we sign off, we wanted to get a final update from Melissa and LeeLu, who had been slow to acclimate to its new surroundings. We’ll ask if LeeLu has finally taken flight… around the living room, anyway.

| 12/17/25 | Class Dismissed (Hour 2) | We mark the final installment of Homeroom, our weekly segment about protecting public education in Wisconsin, with the two people most responsible for making it a prime focus of our show: Heather DuBois Bourenane, Chris Hambuch-Boyle and many more from the Wisconsin Public Education Network. We’ll explain the stakes of the 2026 election on property taxes and the future health of our community schools.

| 12/17/25 | On the Record (Hour 1) | There have been more unusual events in 2025 than we care to count — and one of the stranger ones took place Tuesday when Vanity Fair published the result of 11 (yes, eleven) interviews conducted with Trump’s chief of staff. Susie Wiles was extremely candid about the president and almost everyone in his inner circle — and none of it makes them look better. So what’s been the MAGA reaction? Attack the report and the writer, while not claiming that anything in the piece was factually wrong. Sure, Susie.

| 12/16/25 | Trump Is Deranged Syndrome (Hour 3) | There is no bottom: Donald Trump will always find a way to sink even lower than the last time you thought he’d couldn’t be worse. This time, Trump is getting a fair amount of criticism from fellow Republicans for a social media post about murdered director Rob Reiner. Makes you wonder who the real “Meathead” is now.

| 12/16/25 | Sand in the Gears (Hour 1) | As we often say here: Those who hate government the most should be trusted the least to run it competently. The latest example comes from Republicans in the Legislature who refused a request to allocate the funds to speed up customer service for professional licensing. It’s easy to say government doesn’t work when you’re the one throwing sand in the gears. Lawmakers also announced an “investigation” into Attorney General Josh Kaul, conveniently timed to happen during an election campaign.

| 12/12/25 | Mandela Barnes Breaks It Down (Hour 3) | A lot of Wisconsin political insiders sure like asking questions about Mandela Barnes: Can he win a general election? Can he raise $50 million to run for governor? Is the attention he’s getting from Republicans a sign of weakness or strength? How about if we ask him directly — because he joins us live this morning.

| 12/12/25 | What a Week (Hour 2) | We’ll ask our Week In Review panel about some of the headlines of the past few days. Republicans had to back off their desire to force grieving women to scoop up the remains of a miscarriage and put it in a medical waste bag. President Trump lost two more court cases involving persecution without due process. And is the White House ever going to live up to its promise to tackle inflation — or will they stick with the laughable argument that affordability worries are just a hoax?

| 12/12/25 | Our Useless Senate (Hour 1) | Some of us are old enough to remember when the United States Senate had a vaunted reputation as the world’s greatest deliberative body. Weighty issues would be debated by senators with the security of six-year terms, resistant to the political winds of the moment, and grand compromises could be achieved. Those days, of course, are gone — put on display most tellingly Thursday when a majority of 51 votes still wasn’t enough to stop Republicans’ plans to make Americans pay exhaustingly higher health insurance premiums, just to make a political point.

| 12/11/25 | Meet Joel Brennan (Hour 2) | Joel Brennan, a former top official in Gov. Tony Evers' administration, joins us live — after making it official that he’s joining a crowded field of Democrats hoping to succeed Evers. Brennan said he can differentiate himself from his rivals with his 25 years of experience in the private sector that includes time as president of the Greater Milwaukee Committee.

| 12/11/25 | Property Tax Sticker Shock (Hour 1) | There is a major typographical error on every Wisconsin property tax bill that people are seeing this week. The numbers are correct — they are higher, but the people responsible for the higher property taxes aren’t listed on the bill. We’ll explain how the line that lists the name of your local school district should be replaced with “Here’s the cost of 15 years of Republicans running the Legislature.” Also: Cherita Booker outlines some more great events happening around our state this week.

| 12/10/25 | A $50 Million Campaign (Hour 3) | When it comes to expensive political campaigns, Wisconsin shatters more records than a jukebox pushed down the stairs. Candidates have to raise big bucks — Mandela Barnes told our Earl Ingram he plans to raise $50 million — but they’ll still be dwarfed by outside groups with seemingly limitless piles of money.

| 12/10/25 | Keep Our Promise (Hour 2) | For all of the partisan disagreements about the state budget, there was one area (one!) that seemed to have bipartisan agreement: raising the level of state reimbursement to local school districts to help offset the heavy expense of special education. But the actual reimbursement level this year isn’t close to what was sought in the budget. We’ll ask Rep. Angelina Cruz (D-Racine) why that happened and what her “Keep Our Promise” bill would do to change the way special education is funded in Wisconsin.

| 12/10/25 | Cheer Away the Inflation? (Hour 1) | It’s back to the future for Wisconsin license plates. We’ll talk about the unveiling of two new designs for Wisconsin vehicles. Well, not exactly new. Our state has seen both yellow plates with black numbers and black plates with white numbers over the years. But both retro looks appear poised to become instantly popular. Also: President Trump holds a campaign style rally in Pennsylvania to make claims that he’s doing something about inflation. We’ll provide the necessary fact-checks.
