In hour two, John and Gordy, filling in for Maggie today, talk JD Vance, and some of the insane billionaires who helped put him in power Curtis Yarvin and Peter Theil. With a few cuts from Rachel Maddow, we learn why these guys have spared a chunk of change to do away with democracy. We head to the phones for a bit to chat with CJ about "the rest of the story," and why he's rooting for Trump during this flurry of executive orders, throwing the country into chaos. Later, the guys welcome in Director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign Nick Ramos to chat about the importance of taking a stand in tumultuous times, even when we're not at risk - because someday we might be. Practically, this means the people now being abducted by ICE - including people who are US citizens. Wrapping up the show, we look to the future with Nick, talking about what the WDC is up to, and what you can do to help democracy.
