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.

Reunited and It Feels So Good: A Faith and Fun Friday
WTMJ’s Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey are finally reunited — and they’re making up for lost time.
The duo dives into news making national and local waves: reports that President Trump may send out new stimulus checks to Americans earning under $100,000, and the renewed controversy around the long-awaited Jeffrey Epstein files, including Megyn Kelly’s eyebrow-raising claim about Epstein’s crimes.
In the 11 a.m. hour, Steve and Kristin pivot to faith and community, reacting to Catholic bishops voicing concern over mass deportations and how they’re affecting schools, hospitals, and congregations nationwide. They also touch on redistricting, Jason Kelce’s Wisconsin moment, and what it says about civic and cultural life in the Midwest.
Finally, they wrap up the week with potential new segment, “Let’s Get Talking,” where they ask each other delightfully random questions — from what food they've never eaten to who they’d haunt people as ghosts.
