Here & Now

Here & Now opening for May 22, 2026

Announcer:
The following program is a PBS Wisconsin original production.

Derrick Van Orden:
Right now. Yes. I mean, it’s tighter than it should be, but we’re going to end this damn war with Iran, and we’re going to get back to economic prosperity and freedom.

Frederica Freyberg:
Republicans rally their base and chart a course to the November polls at their state convention. And heading into Memorial Day weekend, a Wisconsin gem is feared to one day be overrun by tourists.
I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” Congresswoman Gwen Moore on the barrage of news coming from Washington and congressional Republicans gear up for election season. A federal bill to designate the Apostle Islands as a national park faces local opposition, and a single building provides a multicampus haven for students with neurodiversity. It’s “Here & Now” for May 22.

Announcer:
