Wisconsin's DPI Scandal Is A Big Deal

WTMJ hosts Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey opened the show breaking down the massive “No Kings” protests that drew more than seven million people across the country, pushing back against the Trump administration. They reacted to Republican leaders’ responses, including remarks from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Speaker Mike Johnson, and to a shocking AI-generated video from President Trump. Locally, Steve and Kristin discussed Milwaukee’s “habitual parking violators” and the city’s growing unpaid tickets, as well as Fire Chief Aaron Lipski’s request for new fire trucks amid budget shortfalls. Financial expert Dave Spano joined to talk about the state of the U.S. economy, debt management, and trade relations with China. The hosts also tackled the scandal at Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction, the Brewers’ disappointing playoff exit, and the Bucks and Packers kicking off new momentum.
