On the show we discussed Wisconsin’s $6.6 billion budget surplus and the state’s low unemployment rate.

Answered some texts on whether Donald Trump will be the nominee for Republicans in 2024.

Moving on from that, we talked about a US House member lying about everything imaginable to get elected and how political power plays a role in his potentially being kicked out of Congress.

Additionally, we spent some time on a GOP-selected Wisconsin DNR board member costing taxpayers $76,000.

We ended the show with some electric vehicle talk, as Murphy owns a Ford “Mustang” Mach-E.
