Trump Calls Affordability a Democratic Hoax

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey kick off the morning with Kristin’s chaotic car mishap — a parking-garage median, a cracked oil pan, and a whole lot of unsolicited listener advice. Then they shift to national headlines, including President Trump calling affordability concerns a “Democrat hoax” and the growing controversy around Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s alleged second strike on defenseless survivors. In City Stories, Urban Milwaukee’s Jeramey Jannene joins to discuss everything happening locally: Milwaukee’s stalled city flag redesign, redevelopment projects, the closure of Beans & Barley, more upcoming bridge work, and a push for a new Brewers ballpark district. They end with Pay It Forward, sharing small acts of kindness to brighten the season.
