The first part of the Morning Show on January 29 featured information on the upcoming Sunday Fun Day event.

Yesterday, Trump’s White House released a memo ordering a freeze of up to $3 TRILLION in federal funds. Thankfully, a federal judge issued a stay until next Monday. To add to the federal shenanigan regarding ‘efficiency’ Trump has ordered all federal employees to return to the office. His administration is now offering buyouts for federal employees who don’t want to return after being successful and efficient at home. Which means… they’ll pay for the people not to work… which is somehow… efficient… Right. Regardless, it’s an acceleration of Trump’s promise to purge civil servants and replace them with loyalists.

In this hour, we hear from many of our audience who are struggling to understand how all of this federal chaos affects their lives. Hang on everyone. We’re all in this together and we’re going to make it through with humor and solidarity.

Maggie Daun joins us for some overtime to start the show. Yesterday, Trump’s White House released a memo declaring a freeze up to $3 TRILLION in federal loans and grants. For a full breakdown and Maggie’s legal analysis, check out her second hour today.

U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan for the District of Columbia issued a hold on the memo until next Monday. Still, so many organizations are already scrambling trying to understand how the memo- not a bill, not an executive order, a MEMO- will affect them. As Judge AliKhan says, it certainly appears that the federal government, in issuing this memo, did not understand the breadth of those who would be affected.

The second part of the Morning Show on January 28 featured the Making a Difference Award ceremony that was held recently.

The first part of the Morning Show on January 28 featured St. Luke Church in Plain and all of the great things going on at the school during Catholic Schools Week.

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the full hour.

First, is there a glimmer of unity among national Democrats? All Senate Democrats- Fetterman with some nudging- signed on to a one sentence resolution denouncing President Trump’s pardons for those who violently assaulted Capitol Police on January 6th, 2021. Not much, but it’s a bit of unity.

However, our main focus for the day is- big surprise here- what lessons we can apply from FDR to today’s political and economic world. Harvey’s been ruminating on FDR’s call for ‘militant liberalism’ lately, so we break it down. Turns out it’s not about making us adhere to strict uniform codes or schedules, it’s about enabling and empowering the common people. That sounds nice, can we have more of that please?

Happy days, y’all. It’s a Monday and we’re diving right into it all. Despair can leave us frozen. So let’s focus on what we CAN control, eh?

This past week, many local Wisconsin communities’ law enforcement agencies declared they would not participate in deportation efforts from the federal government. In response, Republicans in Wisconsin’s legislature announced they will introduce a bill to force such cooperation. Dom and Jess strongly prefer that our local law enforcement instead focus on y’know, local law enforcement issues. So what can we do? We can call our elected officials and tell them what their constituents actually want.

Today is also International Holocaust Remembrance Day. This day marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, now 80 years ago. In a world where the man who controls the most resources and a powerful communciation platform performs a Nazi salute multiple times at a Presidential inauguration, we must bear witness and remember. When that same man then declares that Germany should ‘move beyond’ their guilt over the atrocities of the Holocaust, stand up and resist. Always. It’s within your control.
