    Social Security Lies, Truths, and the Billionaire Agenda

    Maggie is joined this hour by Former Maryland Governor and Commissioner of the Social Security Administration Martin O'Malley to debunk some of the biggest social security lies. No matter what Elon Musk tells you, it turns out social security is not a Ponzi scheme, won't go broke, and millions of dead people aren't still getting benefits. As Maggie and Martin discuss, social security is actually a 97-year-old system designed to help everyday people. Plus, Teri Barr is back for another edition of "What's Good, Local and Overlooked in Wisconsin." Teri talks Wisconsin sports highlighting the band Doozey who's making waves at the NFL draft.

    Judicial Shockwaves

    Today, Maggie discusses Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan's arrest by federal agents over alleged obstruction and concealing a person from arrest. Dugan's arrest has sent tremors through the legal community. As Maggie points out, Judge Dugan, known for her dedication to legal ethics and community service, faces up to five years in prison. The arrest sparked outrage and highlights the tension between federal immigration enforcement and state judicial independence. Some argue the move is a politically motivated intimidation tactic, undermining the judiciary's autonomy. The 10th Amendment and due process rights are central as the debate over ICE's authority in state courthouses intensifies. Supporters rally behind Dugan, decrying the chilling effect on democracy.

    Pete Hegseth’s Hellstorm and Pope Francis’ Legacy

    Maggie is joined by the most reasonable guy in politics, Tom Palzewicz. They dive into the chaotic leadership of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, revealing his reckless use of unsecured internet connections and questionable judgment in handling military intel. Maggie and Tom also explore the ongoing fallout, highlighting a "Wall Street Journal" report of a rattled Hegseth threatening top military officials with polygraph tests (but at least his make-up will look good). They also discuss Pope Francis, grappling with his legacy as a progressive leader who championed the poor and challenged wealth disparity, yet faced criticism for not pushing systemic church reforms. There is stark contrast in leadership and accountability in today's political landscape.
