Thursday 11/7/24: President as person and institution, Milwaukee Betty Award

Today on Lake Effect, we examine how presidential rhetoric can impact how we view the office as an institution – or as an individual. Then, we talk to a Wisconsin dairy farmer about what a mass deportation would mean for those who rely on immigrant workers. Plus, we speak with Mariana Rodriguez who was honored with a Betty Award for her work in supporting victims of domestic violence.

Guests:

  • Kathy Cramer, author of "The Politics of Resentment" and a political science professor at UW-Madison
  • Allison Prasch, associate professor of rhetoric, politics and culture at UW-Madison
  • John Rosenow, dairy farmer and owner of Rosenhome Dairy and Cowsmo Compost in Cochrane, Wisconsin
  • Mariana Rodriguez, founder and director of the Latina Resource Center at United Migrant Opportunity Services
