Ep 57: Losing Our Innocence


Subscribe:


Kristin and Kirk talked to Congressman Mark Pocan about his reactions to the January 6th hearings, and then talked to the Executive Director of the Wisconsin High Speed Rail Alliance about our opportunity to finally get things right after throwing away a great opportunity to expand Wisconsin passenger rail in 2010. What connects these two debacles? The misinformation coming from Wisconsin Republicans that confuse voters. Wisconsin has lost its political innocence and we’re going to need thicker skins to make it great again.
