Should Wisconsin’s 3rd CD Democrats debate, and how Ron Johnson forgot to tone it down, with Adam Murphy
He’s the La Crosse Talk PM political blowhard, Adam Murphy, discussing why debates aren’t that great — as Democrats in Wisconsin’s 3rd CD may not have one — how Ron Johnson forgot he was going to tone it down, Democrat Bob Menendez guilty of gold bars under his mattress, and the Teamsters president speaks at the RNC in Milwaukee.
La Crosse Talk PM airs weekdays at 5:06 p.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska). Find all the podcasts here or subscribe to La Crosse Talk PM wherever you get your podcasts.
Began the show talking about the ridiculous story of US Sen. Bob Menendez being found guilty, after he was caught with $150,000 worth of gold bars and $480,000 in stacks of $100 bills.
After that, we got into debates. The 3rd US House District Democrats may not have a televised debate (they have had multiple forums throughout the district). Murphy gives his take on why debates aren’t all that helpful.
After that, we get into the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, including JD Vance as Donald Trump’s running mate, and how Ron Johnson’s unity speech wasn’t all that unifying — even the rewritten one he forgot to give on stage.
Lastly (37:15), Murphy talks of the uniqueness of Sean O’Brien, the Teamsters president, speaking for 17 minutes at the RNC.
Murphy is a small business owner of Big Bang LLC in Milwaukee. He holds degrees in economics and political science from UW-Milwaukee.

I personally would not step back and talk unity. I would have pressed harder, called them out on their own rhetoric. You have to nail the snake skins on the fence so that the other snakes know not to come into the yard.
The left has demonstrated time and again that there is no unity as long as they don’t get their way. They have no compromise, they have no respect for life, they have no respect for law, they have no respect for boundaries (personal, fiscal, physical), they have no respect for ideas and freedom of speech.
They think only of the ends, their ends, and any means to get to it is on the table. It is the conservative’s job & responsibility to say, NO – you can’t have my property, money, family, kids, religion, speech, space, and ideas. Don’t wander about and think they are ‘normal’ thinking people, they don’t listen, they don’t converse, they don’t debate, they don’t use science and they sure as hell don’t use facts.
They yell, they scream, they burn things down, they twist words, they corrupt law, they ignore discussion, they turn their backs on ethics and values, they don’t compromise – ever.
My thoughts on the tolerant, contemplative, left…..I have seen no evidence that you can talk to them.

Agreed Kevin, the call to calm things down was a Dem headfake to slow the Republicans’ inertia. No later than the Dem convention the Dems will ramp up their hate again, starting with Biden’s proxies and the media.
After all, hate is “all they got,” all their policies have failed.

It is amazing that the battle in the Democratic party that this station with these articles has been silent.
The Democrats have stated repeatedly that the all the Republicans do is lie.
Well , Biden’s entire Presidency has been a lie and now the Democrats by hiding his deficiencies have robbed the American voter of a choice in the election between lying Trump and whoever the Democratic nominee is.
I almost think this was done on purpose to put Kamala Harris as the presidential nominee.
What these two parties have clearly demonstrated is that they have absolutely no interest in America.
Either Biden or Harris will do the left’s bidding and they have clearly demonstrated no clue ho run a country; just vandalize property and get away with it. You think Trump is above the law; the entire left is above the law and has UTTER CONTEMPT FOR THE LAWS OF THIS LAND.
