the_real_working_class_heroWe talk about Chuck Jones, the president of United Steelworkers 1999, who told Donald Trump “He's lying his a-- off," about his boasting of saving 1,100 jobs at Carrier, the Affordable Care Act, and Wisconsin's state transportation budget.


STATEWIDE - The panel starts with a real American working class hero, Chuck Jones, the president of United Steelworkers 1999, who told Donald Trump “He's lying his a-- off," about his boasting of saving 1,100 jobs at Carrier. We discuss how Jones’ bluntness has bated the think-skinned Trump into a Twitter war that is keeping the issue in the national media spotlight and revealing his phony solution.

Next we discuss Sen. Mitch McConnell’s claim this week that repealing the Affordable Care Act will be the first item up on January 3rd and Paul Ryan's promise that after repeal "no one will be worse off."

We also look at how the Wisconsin GOP’s internal squabbles over the state transportation budget presents an opportunity for state Democrats to start articulating a compelling alternative vision for a 21st century transportation system that connects all our communities and our workers to tomorrow’s jobs and opportunities. Finally, we update the progress of the unprecedented presidential recount in Wisconsin.
