To kick off today's episode, we discuss an update regarding Wisconsin Eye, a crucial public media service, which brings access and transparency. Last week it shut down due to funding problems and with solutions on the table, we talk about why this tool is so vital and why it must be protected. Next, we welcome our friend Pat Kreitlow, host of 'Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and break down the nationwide address given by President Trump, which was carried across the networks. We talk about the takeaways, as well as where we are 11 months later, including those who were once MAGA elite, now distancing themselves from the movement. Pat also gives his thoughts on a way to preserve the Wisconsin Eye network.
