The Metro

Are conservative values changing in 2025?

Listen Later

President Donald Trump has put Elon Musk in charge of getting government workers to leave their posts and jobs. Already, the Office of Personnel Management has said that 75,000 federal employees accepted a deferred resignation proposal. 

There are pending freezes for funding to government agencies, including money that funds critical research and money that would otherwise fund programs and services related to food, housing, healthcare and infrastructure. 

Today on The Metro, we’re looking at whether Trump’s actions are good-old fashioned conservative values in action or if there’s something fundamentally different and dangerous. 

Guests: 

  • Denise Elias: The executive director of the Oakland County Republican Party. 
  • Tom Wraight: A lecturer in Political Economy at Queen Mary University of London.
  • Lucan Way: A distinguished professor of Democracy at the University of Toronto.

    • Listen to The Metro weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET on 101.9 FM and streaming on-demand.
