Turning Down the Temperature After Political Violence

WTMJ host Steve Scaffidi was joined in-studio by Democratic strategist Joe Zepecki for a difficult conversation about the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. They reflected on the growing threat of political violence, how leaders like President Donald Trump and members of Congress are responding, and Kirk’s legacy in American politics. They also asked the hard question: What do we do next as a country? The conversation pivoted to other pressing issues, including the Green Bay Packers’ strong 2-0 start, the economy and rising prices, Trump’s push for lower drug costs, and the looming congressional budget deadline. They also broke down the latest news in Wisconsin’s governor’s race with David Crowley’s recent entry shaking up the field. PLUS: Say Something Nice and Grab Bags!
