Summary
Kristin Brey is joined by Joe Zepecki and Bill McCoshen to break down global tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and what it could mean for markets and geopolitics. They also examine early developments in Wisconsin’s governor’s race, including Tom Tiffany’s first campaign ad and a major endorsement for Kelda Roys. The conversation turns to serious allegations involving members of Congress, questions of accountability, and broader cultural issues in Washington. Later, the panel debates whether transparency in government has gone too far, followed by Say Something Nice, Grab Bags, and listener reactions to a proposed bill addressing sports broadcast access.
