Show notes

The OG Crew is FINALLY back together. Steve begins the show by asking political strategists Joe Zepecki and Bill McCoshen for their takeaways from Tuesday’s primary election. Zeroing in on the constitutional amendment referenda that failed to pass, Steve asks Bill and Joe for their takeaways. Bill mentions as former Governor Tommy Thompson always said: “Never give up power.” Donald Trump made remarks that the Medal of Freedom for civilians is better than the Medal of Honor for those who served in the military; Steve asks Bill and Joe for their thoughts on this. Next, the boys talk about the Democratic National Convention which is next week. Steve asks Bill and Joe if they are doing anything for the convention, what they predict will happen and Kamala Harris’ momentum. Political Junkie PowerPoint -Bill is junking political rallies for Donald Trump until the last few weeks before the election. Joe is junking Donald Trump’s comments on the Congressional Medal of Honor. -Bill is keeping the Trump Campaign’s new strategy of visiting swing states and taking questions from voters. Joe is keeping a critical component of the inflation reduction act that has helped lower drug prices. GRAB BAGS! Bill shouts out Robin Vos for surviving both two recall attempts and the primary after getting redistricted. Joe apologizes to Bill and acknowledges the time they had been apart, and all the history made since then. Steve asks Bill and Joe on if they’re more excited for the Brewers’ momentum or the excitement for the Packers. Both say Brewers.
