bgw-logoMILWAUKEE, WI - We discuss Scott Walker’s decision to support Donald Trump if he is the GOP nominee and his effort to shamelessly touts kicking 41,149 people off foodshare as a jobs program. Walker called it an opportunity for those kicked off "to live their piece of the American dream." Fortunately, most workers aren’t buying Walker’s snake oil, as 64% in a new poll said the state Wisconsin's economy was either "poor" or "not so good."

We profile a new living wage ordinance in Eau Claire County and Robert updates us on the Humana/Aetna merger that Gov. Walker rubber stamped.

Jorna has the weekly installment of Paul Ryan Watch.
