This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: gossip or gaslighting? We all know gossiping is the act of talking behind people’s backs, but many people use the term “gaslighting” too broadly. It actually refers to a concentrated effort to degrade a person’s connection to reality, making them feel crazy and become dependent on the gaslighter. We take some calls and texts on the dangers of gossip and gaslighting alike. At the bottom of the hour, Todd pivots to several other topics. The great journalist Anna Kleiber has a new article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel detailing $5 million in approved funding to restore and maintain Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous Taliesin house. Todd also covers some of last week’s news on late night TV shows. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will be coming to an end next year, adding another layer of complication to CBS’s settlement to appease President Trump. At the end of our show, Civic Media’s amazing Sports Reporter Mike Clemens graciously gives us some time out of his busy day to weigh in on the Milwaukee Brewers’ hot streak.

Todd has returned to Madison after an excellent tour around the state last week. Over the weekend, GOP gubernatorial candidate Bill Berrien was interviewed by Matt Smith of UPFRONT. During the interview, he was asked if he needs President Trump’s endorsement to win the primary election. Pat Kreitlow joined Todd to ask another GOP candidate the same question at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair, and County Executive Josh Schoemann had a very different answer. When Todd was a card-carrying Republican, they were the party of local control. They believed that the best decisions are often made close to home, and Todd is still largely of that mind. While the MAGA Republican party of today still bandies around with terms like “states’ rights,” their actions tell a different story. Trump’s DOJ is making moves to override reasonable gun legislation in several states about which establishments people are allowed to bring guns into.
