Gross Baby Boom Cult

from Point Taken with Steve Scaffidi & Kristin Brey

WTMJ hosts Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey were joined remotely by political writer Christian Schneider to talk about his latest article on Elon Musk’s “gross baby farm” at his ranch in Texas. -Speaking of Elon Musk, they next talked about him stepping away from his role in the federal government and what could be next for him. -They next asked Christian about a recent controversy on a recent episode of Saturday Night Live and their White Lotus parody skit. Kristin and Steve discussed U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Baby Boom Agenda” that would incentivize American families having more babies but, as Kristin pointed out, not supporting paid childcare. The Wisconsin State Legislature did something right! The Republican-controlled State Senate voted 32 to 1 to pass postpartum Medicaid expansion. They talk about that one State Senator that did not vote for it, Chris Kapenga from Delafield. They finished the hour by talking about their podcast “You Need to Listen”. Steve and Kristin were next joined in-studio by Urban Milwaukee President Jeramey Jannene to first talk about property values rising in Milwaukee and what it could mean. -Milwaukee's latest newly inaugurated alderman Alex Brower, an open socialist, made a big stump speech after his inauguration that referenced Vladamir Lenin and Karl Marx and mentioned issues like education; Jeramey explained. -Milwaukee was going all in on drones; Jeramey told Steve and Kristin how the Milwaukee Police Department was using them and the possible implications. -The abandoned boat off of Milwaukee’s coast had some breaking news. Jeramey explained the background and Steve talked about how it expresses people’s fascination with the stupid. WTMJ News reporter Adam Roberts joined Steve and Kristin for another update about the boat and Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson’s press conference near the site and the cinematic picture taken by fellow reporter Nazir Spencer. It is Shakespeare Day and Steve and Kristin closed the show by celebrating and doing some Shakespeare movie trivia.
