WTMJ’s Steve Scaffidi kicks off Thanksgiving week with law, travel, and a little gratitude.
He’s joined by WISN-TV political director Matt Smith, who shares highlights from his interview with Interim U.S. Attorney Brad Schimel on the trial of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan — including talk of a potential plea deal and what comes next for the high-profile case. They also discuss the uncertain future of WisconsinEye, the state’s C-SPAN-style network, after losing key funding, and hear from CEO John Henkes about whether state support could save it.
Next, Matt shares insights from Marquette Law School Poll director Charles Franklin on voter views of the economy, grocery prices, and inflation.
Then, Steve turns to the skies: U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wants Americans to travel better in his new PSA, “The Golden Age of Travel Starts with You.” Steve asks listeners if the call for courteous flying — dressing properly, helping others, and keeping kids calm — is long overdue.
In the 11 a.m. hour, Annex Wealth Management’s Dave Spano joins for the Monday Market Preview, breaking down holiday retail sales, the Beige Book, interest rates, and year-end investing tips. Steve also shares what he’s thankful for this season, recaps his deer-camp weekend, and relives the Packers’ big win over the Vikings before closing with ideas on how to “pay it forward” every day.

WTMJ hosts Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey start the day with the biggest headline in Washington: the U.S. Senate’s decision on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files. They break down what happens next — from Speaker Mike Johnson’s response to the political fallout for both parties — and debate how much transparency Americans will actually get once the documents are made public.
Then it’s time for something a little lighter — or dumber. In a segment Steve calls “A Theory of Dumb,” they unpack a new study suggesting that people are actually becoming less intelligent in certain categories. Are we really getting dumber, or just more distracted? The conversation turns to social media, radio, and modern attention spans, and the hosts ask: are we part of the problem?
In the 11 a.m. hour, the focus shifts to politics and power: a Texas judge orders redistricting maps to be reversed, lawsuits emerge in California, and President Trump sparks outrage by calling a female reporter “Piggy” aboard Air Force One. Steve and Kristin explore the state of civility, gender, and respect in the modern media landscape.
They wrap up with Ask Us Anything, answering listener questions about Trump, Saudi Arabia, gold in the White House, and even first-time parenting. Smart talk, dumb theories, and everything in between — it’s another lively morning on Point Taken.
