    On the Issues with Chris & Mike No. 016

    In this special edition of On the Issues, recorded with the World Series Game 5 pre-game playing in the background, hosts Chris and Mike open with their excitement about the Milwaukee Brewers' run. Mike shares a firsthand story from his first term in the state legislature. He was pressured to vote against the Brewers stadium deal because of the will of his constituents, and he hit the red button at the last second, while the Brewers' own players and former players, including Robin Yount and Hank Aaron, lobbied him and signed his baseball. From there the conversation turns to politics ahead of the midterm elections. They discuss President Trump's $1 million reward for reporting voter fraud, concerns about election integrity in Minnesota and Michigan, what Chris was told at his poll worker training about federal observers at the polls, and the Democrat groups sending observers. They also cover the Marquette poll and the congressional race between Derrick Van Orden and Rebecca Cooke, including her desire to ban AR-15. Other topics include alleged payoffs to the Milwaukee County Executive, David Crowley, to bow out then get back into the governor's race, and what they see as media bias in the corporate media and elsewhere. They also touch on unrest in France and their fears about socialism and the Marxist - Islamist alliance that is influencing elections. They close with an urgent call for listeners to vote early before Friday's deadline, and Mike's confident prediction that the Brewers will win the World Series. [SPOILER ALERT] He was right! Go Brewers!

    Speakeasy Conversation No. 54 - Cedric Schnitzler Returns

    The biggest issues in Wisconsin right now are not abstract - they are the kind that hit your property taxes, your kid's school, your church, and your right to live free. Cedric Schnitzler lays out why this election feels like a turning point, and why the real fight is about whether Madison keeps overreaching or finally starts trusting local communities again.From the state’s massive budget surplus and property tax relief to the fight over gun-free zones, broadband access, data centers, and religious liberty, this conversation keeps coming back to one theme: freedom only matters if citizens protect it. Cedric argues that government should solve real public safety and infrastructure problems, but stop trying to control everything else - and he explains where that line should be drawn.You'll hear Cedric break down:* Why Wisconsin’s surplus should already be helping families with property taxes and other kitchen-table costs* How local control should shape decisions on schools, gun policy, broadband, and data centers* Why the Second Amendment, mental health, and common sense need to coexist instead of being treated like opposing ideas* What COVID restrictions got wrong about worship, family goodbyes, and religious liberty* Why technology is changing society faster than people realize, and what that means for rural communitiesHe also reflects on the deeper cultural issues behind the headlines - from people no longer talking to each other, to the importance of teaching the next generation what service, compromise, and civic responsibility actually look like. If you care about Wisconsin politics, constitutional rights, or the future of rural communities, this episode gives you a clear, candid look at what is at stake.Essential listening if you want more than campaign slogans. This is a conversation about priorities, principles, and the kind of leadership that puts people before politics.

    Speakeasy Conversation No. 53 - Brian Schimming

    I'm fired up about this one. Brian Schimming, Chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, is joining us on the show, and it's hard to think of a better guest with the election this close.Brian has the ear of President Donald Trump. When Wisconsin's priorities need to reach the top, he's one of the people carrying them there. He's also the head grassroots worker over all of our GOP grassroots workers: the door-knockers, phone-bankers, poll watchers and volunteers who actually win elections in this state. He doesn't just talk strategy from Madison. He's out there building the ground game himself.

    NOW is the time to BAN Gun Free Zones

    Chris Muller opens this weekly recap with a bold defense of the Second Amendment, using the Bend, Oregon school shooting to argue that gun-free zones can leave people vulnerable. He discusses the attack, the armed civilian who stopped the shooter, and how the incident shapes the debate over school safety, self-defense, and the right to carry. He also connects the argument to religious liberty, welfare, charity, and the broader question of who should control people’s rights and everyday choices. The episode then turns to election developments in Wisconsin and beyond, including a California DOJ lawsuit over voter registrations, a Green Bay ballot controversy, campaign spending, and local disputes over French Island incorporation in La Crosse. Chris also examines what he sees as misleading media coverage and highlights campaign activity across the state. It’s a pointed look at gun rights, election integrity, and local politics—and a call to pay attention to the choices shaping the future of liberty in the community.

    Speakeasy Conversation No. 52 - Jay Schroeder

    Frustrated with government? Your ballot is where change begins. In this episode of Speakeasy Conversations, Chris Muller sits down with Jay Schroeder for a candid discussion about election integrity, government accountability, and why he’s running for Wisconsin Secretary of State.

He explains his proposals for improving voter-roll maintenance, changing election oversight, and studying other states for solutions Wisconsin could adopt. The conversation also tackles his concerns about government spending and access to voter information. At its heart is a simple question: Who holds government accountable if citizens don’t participate? Chris and Jay make the case for turning frustration into action, learning about the candidates, and making your voice heard through your ballot. As Chris reminds listeners, millions of voters quietly casting their ballots can drown out the loudest political noise. Listen to the conversation.

    What drives a retired infantryman and grandfather of six to step forward for another tour of service—this time in Madison? Over a smoky brandy Old Fashioned, Chris Muller sits down with Wisconsin’s 94th Assembly District candidate Keith Purnell for a candid conversation about service, responsibility, and the future we leave our grandchildren.

Drawing on his accounting background, he also proposes independent audits with public reports that help taxpayers understand where their money goes. Along the way, Chris and Keith explore protecting constitutional freedoms, finding common ground without demanding perfection, and why political apathy carries a cost.
