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.

Maggie is out for the day, and filling in are John Peterson and Gordy Young, the morning show team on Civic Media's Madison station. They chat with callers about the tragedy last night in DC, where a military helicopter crashed into a passenger airliner, and also discuss the disgusting decision by Trump to blame the crash on DEI. Later, John and Gordy are joined by Dan Shafer, Civic Media's Political Editor and founder of the Recombobulation Area. They chat with him about a new poll out by a conservative group on the standing of the SCOWI race, as we stand about two months out from election day. We cover some alarming comments by Brad Schimel, the conservative candidate, then shift gears to talking about the DNC chair vote coming up on Saturday. Wrapping up the hour, we get Dan's take on a reflection of RFK's confirmation hearings written by Tammy Baldwin - "RFK Jr. Is Bad For Our Health"

Maggie continues to dig into RFK's unfitness and takes callers. He's motivated only by attention and power (and money). What a grift!

Then Maggie is joined by James Beard-nominated most outstanding chef, Greg Leon, Executive Chef and owner of Amilinda in Milwaukee. They discuss connecting through food, as well as Tables Without Borders, celebrating immigrants and their native food, the first of four dinners coming up on February 17, 2025.

Last, Maggie appeals to public servants and all of us to stay the course.

The Trump administration rescinds its garbage Office of Management & Budget memo from late Monday (after a federal judge late Tuesday halted its implementation pending a hearing this coming Monday), but the Press Secretary says that even though it's rescinded, it's still still in effect...what a clown show. Maggie discusses with Shawn Phetteplace of Main Street Alliance ([email protected]). They also discuss Robin Vos single-handed blockade of expanded and cheaper insurance coverage for Wisconsinites.

Next, Maggie jumps into the RFK, Jr. confirmation hearings. He is morally unfit and a total menace.

In today's second hour, Maggie lights her hair on fire and dives back into the biggest news of the day: the Trump administration's federal funding freeze. She breaks down the language of the order. Unsurprisingly, it is written in an incredibly vague manner, demonstrating the ineptitude of the authors. They clearly do not understand the legal process surrounding government funding. Despite the sloppiness of this order, it can and will have far-reaching consequences across the state, the nation and the world.

At the bottom of the hour, Maggie recites an address by Abraham Lincoln. This message emphasizes following law and order over individual preferences, which is diametrically opposed to the actions of the second Trump administration. The party of Lincoln has fallen a long way from grace.

Today, Maggie broadcasts live from the WMDX studios in Madison with former US Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn! He was there while a violent mob stormed the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. In the years since, he has been making sure everybody knows the truth of what happened on that day. Now that President Donald Trump has pardoned all of the criminals who beat police officers on J6, Harry Dunn's message is more important than ever.

At the bottom of the hour, we kick off a new weekly segment: State Slate with Dan Shafer! As Civic Media's Political Editor and the Founder of The Recombobulation Area, Dan is always keeping his eye on what matters to Wisconsinites. Most importantly, Wisconsin's supreme court race takes place on April first, and we all need to pay attention.

Maggie begins this hour by speaking with Shannon Baker-Branstetter, Senior Fellow for domestic Climate and Energy Policy at CAP, to discuss the outgoing Biden Administration’s accomplishments with environmental action and previewing some of the ramifications of the second Trump Administration’s first days in office through executive orders.

Then, fellow Civic Media host Dom Salvia joins the program for "In Case You Missed It" to recap some of the ABC's of what the second Trump Administration is going to do to the middle class. Maggie takes a look at the World Economic Forum in Davos as an example of how billionaires are calling the shots, not the We the People.

Maggie starts the show taking a look at the comments made last July by now candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Judge Brad Schimel. Thanks to reporting from the New York Times, we have audio from GOP Meet & Greet events in Adams and Calumet County in July 2024 where Brad Schimel shared comments that seemingly pre-judge any case that would come before Schimel if he were to be elected to the state's highest court. Maggie breaks down Schimel's comments and shares why they are beyond the pale for someone running for any position in our judiciary, especially the state's highest court.
