Listen "Tragedies Spanning Continents"
Episode Synopsis
Steve Scaffidi is back, and he and Kristin Brey begin the show with a sobering recap of multiple weekend tragedies — including mass shootings in Australia and at Brown University, and the shocking stabbing deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife. They discuss global differences in gun laws, mental health concerns, community response, and the heroic father who tackled the gunman at Australia's Bondi Beach.
Then, WTMJ reporter Neil Doyle joins live from the Milwaukee County Courthouse with the latest on the Judge Hannah Dugan trial, breaking down opening statements and the media frenzy surrounding the case.
In the Monday Market Preview, Annex Wealth Management’s Dr. Brian Jacobsen explains what the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts mean for the economy, upcoming inflation and jobs data, Black Friday credit-card spending, and whether a “Santa Rally” could still arrive for 2025.
Later, ESPN Milwaukee host Alex Strouf joins in-studio to unpack the Packers’ rough loss to the Broncos, key injuries, and playoff prospects — followed by a much brighter story: the Wisconsin Badgers Women’s Volleyball team advancing to the Final Four.
