Drugged driving deaths have more than doubled in Wisconsin the past decade. We talk to an expert about why drugged driving is on the rise and how the states can deal with the problem. President Trump’s approval rating within the Republican party is among the highest ever at this point in his term. We discuss what that means for the midterms, and catch up on Congressional reaction to the US-North Korea summit.
