Melissa and Charlie Are Not Equals (Hour 1)

Mornings with Pat Kreitlow ·

2025/10/15

There was acrimony in the Legislature on Tuesday as Republicans sought to honor right wing provocateur Charlie Kirk, but they objected to a full telling of Kirk’s life story and his positions espousing bigotry and misogyny. We’ll also force ourselves to relive last night’s Game 2 of the National League Championship Series as the Brewers’ bats were again silenced by superior Dodger pitching.

A Quietly Painful Shutdown, For Now (Hour 3)

2025/10/14

Maybe we can call ‘em Trump Food Banks since they’re getting busier than ever thanks to the president’s government shutdown — especially in places where America’s federal employees and members of the Armed Forces count on a competent government to keep the paychecks coming. We’ll talk to COURIER’s Cam Stevenson live from Capitol Hill and with Dan Shafer from The Recombobulation Area.Mornings with Pat Kreitlow is powered by UpNorthNews, and it airs on several stations across the Civic Media radio

Snell-Shocked (Hour 1)

Mornings with Pat Kreitlow ·

2025/10/14

The Milwaukee Brewers’ batters (we can’t call ‘em hitters) were shellshocked by the near-perfection of Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, but the Crew’s near-comeback in the 9th inning provides a nugget of hope heading into tonight’s Game 2.

Supporting Higher Education (Hour 3)

Mornings with Pat Kreitlow ·

2025/10/13

We’ll talk to Rep. Jodi Emerson about her new package of bills designed to support higher education in Wisconsin, which sounds like common sense – but then you remember what passes for “support” for education on the other side of the aisle and get a better appreciation for what lawmakers like Emerson are trying to do.

Who Needs Ebola Responders Anyway? (Hour 2)

Mornings with Pat Kreitlow ·

2025/10/13

We discuss the government shutdown, now entering its third week, and how President Trump is responding by making more cuts — this time to staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Because nothing says you care about a functional federal government like laying off the people who respond to outbreaks of measles, mpox, and Ebola.

It was a beautiful moment for Brewers fans, defeating the Chicago Cubs (and Craig Counsell) and advancing to the National League Championship Series. We’ll recap the NLDS and preview the chase for the pennant that starts tonight against the Dodgers.

Mike Clemens will break down the Brewers’ breakdown in Game 4 of the National League Division Series and how Milwaukee will have to beat the Cubs at American Family Field on Saturday if they want to advance in the postseason.

The War at Home (Hour 2)

Mornings with Pat Kreitlow ·

2025/10/10

We’ll talk to our Week In Review panel about the focus this week on whether President Trump can send military troops into American cities on a whim. Can you imagine how Oklahoma would react if a Democratic president sent troops from Chicago into their state? An Oklahoma Republican can, and he’s one of the few speaking out about it.

Turning Their Backs on Those Who Serve (Hour 1)

Mornings with Pat Kreitlow ·

2025/10/10

The government shutdown rolls on, but Congress is at least working on new ways to fund the military — with one noticeable exception: not paying the troops during a shutdown. Like most other federal workers, members of the Armed Forces likely won’t get their next paycheck, even though Republican leaders could’ve chosen to make that happen. It’s only the latest instance of GOP leaders providing all talk and no action when it comes to supporting the troops, protecting our veterans, and backing the

Don’t ‘Both Sides’ PFAS Pollution (Hour 3)

Mornings with Pat Kreitlow ·

2025/10/09

New talks at the state Capitol are being framed as an effort by both Republicans and Democrats to bridge a long disagreement over who should pay for cleanup of sites contaminated by PFAS industrial chemicals. There’s really not much to bridge: The divide is over whether to protect industrial polluters. Republicans say state laws should exempt people like farmers who spread industrial sludge that was later found to have harmful PFAS. Democrats agree but want those farmer exemptions narrowly worded so

Representing Two Districts (Hour 2)

2025/10/09

We’ll visit with Congressman Mark Pocan, fresh off a new round of town halls that allow members of the public to sound off about their dissatisfaction over Republicans shutting down the federal government instead of passing a new federal budget. What’s notable is that Pocan’s town halls weren’t held in his district, the 2nd — instead, he was touring the 3rd Congressional District, since US Rep. Derrick Van Orden chooses not to take questions from the general public. Mornings with Pat Kreitlow is

Stuck in Wrigleyville (Hour 1)

Mornings with Pat Kreitlow ·

2025/10/09

The Milwaukee Brewers couldn’t get a sweep of the Chicago Cubs in the National League Division Series, so their punishment for losing yesterday afternoon is to play again at Wrigley Field late tonight. We’ll review how the wheels fell off the bus early, but there’s still time to put them back on. We’ll also review some of this weekend’s upcoming festivals around the state, including one that celebrates a 19th century governor who became one of the pioneers of dairy farming in Wisconsin.

Bust Up the Billionaire Class (Hour 3)

Mornings with Pat Kreitlow ·

2025/10/08

Chuck Collins of Patriotic Millionaires, talks about his new book about how concentrated wealth and power are ruining our lives and our planet. Collins, great-grandson of Oscar Mayer, knows about the ways families build immense wealth and use it to gain political power and extract more wealth from the middle class. He’ll outline ways we need to reform our political system before it’s too late. Mornings with Pat Kreitlow is powered by UpNorthNews, and it airs on several stations across the Civic

Texas-Sized Trouble with Voucher Schools (Hour 2)

We’ll talk to Dr. Chloe Latham Sikes of the education group IDRA, which fights for fair funding for the many public schools that are threatened by the explosive growth of taxpayer funded vouchers for private schools. We’ll examine what the experiences in Texas and other states can tell us about avoiding a future taxpayer catastrophe when it comes to funding two separate school systems.

A Tale of Two Attorneys General (Hour 1)

Mornings with Pat Kreitlow ·

2025/10/08

There was a clear display on Tuesday of the difference between having an attorney general dedicated to public service versus one who’s more interested in being a toadie. Wisconsin’s Josh Kaul has decided to pursue a third term rather than running for governor. Contrast his work to hold the Trump administration accountable to the juvenile ranting done on Capitol Hill by Pam Bondi, who is supposed to be the top law enforcement officer for the American people but would rather continue her audition to

How ‘Bout Them Apples? (Hour 2)

Mornings with Pat Kreitlow ·

2025/10/07

We have some good news and bad news to share about agriculture in Wisconsin. On the plus side, the state is seeing another good crop of apples — so Sheila Everhart with the Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association will review the many varieties and the best uses for each. On a larger scale, however, farming in Wisconsin just got tougher thanks to the government shutdown started by President Trump and congressional Republicans. With local Farm Service Agency offices closed, it means farmers are

Still Attacking Free Elections (Hour 1)

Mornings with Pat Kreitlow ·

2025/10/07

Despite no evidence of widespread election fraud and a constant stream of legal rulings affirming voting rights, far right extremists aren’t giving up trying to make voting more difficult in Wisconsin. There’s the Waukesha County judge who just ordered the Wisconsin Elections Commission to check the citizenship status of the millions of people on the voter registration rolls — a massive undertaking with no clear method, much less any evidence of its necessity. There are some Republican legislators
