La Crosse Area Chamber of Commerce CEO Sam Scinta on his “Lord of the Rings”-length meeting with the mayor, the business climate in the community right now, and that port initiative announced last week. Listen live weekdays at 5:06 p.m. Find the pod on Spotify, Apple Podcast or here. Tune in on the WIZM app or on air at 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska) We began though with just a quick “What does the Chamber do?” as Scinta has been leading it now for the past nine months. Next, we talked about — what is more of a long game — the new Northern Grain Belts Ports Initiative and what it means for leveraging local waterways. After that, we spent the final half of the show deep diving into La Crosse Mayor Shaundel Washington-Spivey’s three-hour meeting with Chamber members last week. We break down what the meeting entailed and the “homework” to come out of it — like the push for a city administrator, a business concierge, zoning changes, and historic preservation reform. We wrap up looking at how La Crosse is faring right now when it comes to the overall business climate, why our unique transit hub gives us a leg up on Madison, and the Chamber’s possible future plans for a quarterly “La Crosse is Open for Business” series.

Former Meet the Press host Chuck Todd said the “only reason” that people think former President Barack Obama is liberal is “because he’s Black.” Todd claimed Obama “radicalized the far right” in an appearance on Monday’s episode of the So What podcast with host Chris Cillizza. “The far right viewed Obama as some left winger when Obama was basically a degree more liberal than Bill Clinton,” Todd said. Cillizza agreed, calling Obama “temperamentally a moderate,” though “probably liberal on policy.” However, Todd pushed back on the latter. “What policy was he that liberal on, Chris?” he asked. “It’s one of the biggest—” Cillizza cut him off to offer up his own explanation with a chuckle: “It’s because he was Black.” “Thank you, the only reason people think he was liberal is because he’s Black,” Todd said. “Like it’s this, he governed more closely to George W. Bush than Donald Trump.” Todd was critical of Obama throughout his presidency. In 2014, after Obama announced he would not consider any executive action on immigration until after midterms, he joined Todd on Meet the Press for a grilling. “What do you tell the person that’s going to get deported before the election, that this decision was essentially made in your hopes of saving a Democratic Senate?” Todd pressed. “It looks like election year politics.”’ Last month, Cillizza and Todd came under fire when White House Communications Director Steven Cheung accused them of racism following remarks the two made on The Chuck ToddCast. “Is he a real person?” Todd said of Cheung. “If you told me Steven Cheung were like a creation of AI… I just don’t believe he actually exists. I don’t think I’ve ever physically seen him.” He added, “He’s so over-the-top. No actual human being with 10 seconds of political training would behave this way.” Watch above via X.The post Chuck Todd Says the ‘Only Reason’ People Think Obama Is Liberal ‘Is Because He’s Black’ first appeared on Mediaite.

The co-hosts viewed a clip of former Vice President Kamala Harris telling Don Lemon, “In particular at this moment, it is so important that we not only have hope but that we understand that that should be a verb.” As the co-hosts pointed out, ‘hope’ is often used as a verb. Watters then pivoted to California Governor Gavin Newsom, who praised former President Joe Biden last year, calling him “one of the most successful presidents in the last century, and that it Joe Biden. I will defend that to my grave.” Co-host Dana Perino responded by positing that Newsom is trying to distinguish himself from Harris, who has criticized Biden since the 2024 presidential election in which Biden dropped his reelection bid, and Harris took the nomination. “She’s throwing Biden under the bus,” Perino said. “Biden still has a lot of goodwill with the Black community. Gavin Newsom’s numbers with the Black community are very low. Kamala Harris’ are still fairly high, relatively high. So, he is trying to figure out a way to position himself in a way to say that says, ‘Let me be your champion because she won’t be.'” Watters responded with a question for Tarlov, who turned it around on him by alluding to his support of President Donald Trump: WATTERS: I hadn’t thought about it that way. Jessica, that makes a lot of sense. Or is like, blind loyalty to an idiot– does that override that? TARLOV: Well, you do blind loyalties to an idiot every day. Watters and Perino laughed, as did co-host Greg Gutfeld. “That idiot’s running circles around you guys, ok?” Watters responded.
