Listen "DEI Is Dead, But Should It Be?"
Episode Synopsis
Kristin Brey opened the show celebrating the Milwaukee Brewers’ big win and breaking down the latest from Washington, where President Trump may be making progress on ending the government shutdown. She spoke with Alex Jacquez from the Groundwork Collaborative about how the shutdown could raise health insurance premiums for Americans who rely on the Affordable Care Act. Kristin also reacted to Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul’s announcement that he won’t run for governor, speculated on whether Mandela Barnes might enter the race, and discussed campaign transparency after Tom Tiffany removed his issues page from his website.
Later, Kristin examined the peace talks between Israel and Hamas two years after the original attacks, then spoke with Dr. Markus Brauer from UW–Madison’s Institute for Diversity Science about the changing landscape of DEI programs in workplaces and universities. To close, Wisconsin Representative Amaad Rivera-Wagner joined her to discuss a bipartisan bill aimed at tackling rising housing prices across the state.
