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 kick off the week with politics, markets, and a few unexpected stories from Wisconsin and beyond.
They’re joined first by WISN-TV political reporter Matt Smith to unpack his new interviews with Governor Tony Evers and Congressman Tom Tiffany. The conversation covers sports betting laws, the Department of Public Instruction’s grooming-claims controversy, and the debate over extending Obamacare subsidies.
Then it’s time to Get Biced — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel watchdog Dan Bice joins in-studio to break down former Attorney General Brad Schimel’s appointment as interim U.S. Attorney and the latest developments surrounding Judge Hannah Dugan’s alleged role in an ICE raid incident at the Milwaukee County Courthouse.
In the 11 a.m. hour, Annex Wealth Management’s Dave Spano calls in for the Monday Market Preview, covering AI-driven tech stocks, beef prices, and inflation. Steve shares his “Manic Monday” story — complete with an unexpected sting — before he and Kristin return to national headlines: President Trump’s reversal on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, and a new Gallup poll showing that many Millennial and Gen Z women would consider leaving the U.S. if they could.
