My name is Jim Santel.
I'm sitting in Ferdom on this Friday, this historic Friday in our nation's history.
Went along with my terrific producer, Jess here at Radio Park.
We're talking all about the calamity.
There are not enough adjectives in the English language of destruction and dismay to accurately describe temper's flaring, voices being raised, loud rebukes in the Oval Office of the United States White House.
just this afternoon, just today, resulting in the, and not in any agreement, not in any deal, as the president would say, that would provide some monies to this country and maybe some national security to the country of Vladimir Zelensky there in Ukraine, anticipating that there might be a warming of some of the recent hostilities that did not happen, if anything, an increase in them.
Donald Trump and our Vice President castigating Zelensky for not being grateful enough for the U.S.
support in its war with Russia, sought to strong arm him into making a peace deal on whatever terms the Americans dictate, they said, with voices raised and tempers flaring, some of the reporting going on, Donald Trump threatening to abandon Ukraine altogether if Zelensky did not go along.
talking over the Ukrainian leader as we reported and played in the first hour of our broadcast, Vice President told Zelensky that it was disrespect for him to come to the Oval Office and make his case in front of the American news media and demanded that he thank Mr. Trump, which he has done before for his leadership.
Trump jumped in then, told the Ukrainian leader, you're not really in a good position right now.
You're gambling with World War Three.
Said you're either going to make a deal or we're out, Donald Trump said.
And if we're out, you'll fight it out.
And I don't think it's going to be pretty.
That's language.
That's language from the president of the United States of America today, February 20th, the last day of February of 2025, the last day of the second month of this presidency, not only a breach, a crack.
in our relationship with Ukraine, but also, also, plainly a change in the world order when I was in Iraq, very much attentive to the engagement of the State Department, yes, the Defense Department, other agencies overseas, including the USAID.
To the notion of a world order, an understanding about how things work and how security and national security, domestic and national, international, can be safeguarded by establishing alliances, preserving those, very much aware of the fact when I was in Iraq that the world order had switched, had changed recently.
With the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, I know that remains a very controversial matter here in America, but the reality is that Saddam Hussein is no longer in power there.
And regardless of what you think about Iraq, the reality is it is now an ally of ours.
It is a democratic republic, even with all of the destruction that came from the war in the wake of the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.
That was a huge shift in, yes, the world order in the Middle East when Bashar al-Azad leaves Syria.
And again, not at all clear what's going to happen there in Syria, but that's a shift in the world order that we all need to take attention to and understand the things are changing.
It's going to mean a dramatic shift in the way that we understand our own security.
And indeed today, as Jess and I have been offering to you as a thesis, as we understand what happened today, there has been a shift in the world order.
The question in the wake of these uncomfortable, stated,
charitably, relations and discussions with the leaders of France and Britain and our vice president berating, berating our European allies about the problems internal to their own nations and not the problems presented by challenges of their foes, all of this.
Prefacing, if it's not already here, a new world order in which the United States is no longer allied with the people who are in favor of democracy and republic representation and all the good things that come with freedom that we've associated in this country with 250 years of our tradition and other nations across the planet also embracing that, has the world order shifted and today have we seen in no less important a place than the Oval Office of the White House
that crack, that huge chasm today in our understanding of the world order.
We've got an awful lot of people who are appropriately weighing in on what's happened here.
We appreciate very much Jim from Apple saying after listening to Donald Trump and Vance, the fourth grade style bullying of President Zelensky, he said, I've reached the conclusion
that the vitriol is grounded in two places.
This again is Jim Appleton saying Zelensky was at a campaign event with Kamala Harris and this is payback time basically or and he refused to dig up dirt on Hunter and Joe Biden deed in that word salad.
that word salad response that just played just a few moments ago, we got an awful lot of indication that Hunter Biden is still very much on his mind.
Certainly, as is the 2024 election, we didn't play the full clip, but right before this show, Maggie Dawn played it several times, and I did link the entire exchange into Last Hours podcast, which I will do again this hour.
In that exchange, Vice President JD Vance refers to President Zelensky's having campaigned with the opposition.
That's the phrasing that he used, the opposition, to refer to the fact that President Zelensky had appeared supporting Kamala Harris.
Now, referring to both these events happening during the 2024 election cycle and calling Kamala Harris the opposition.
struck me as incredibly anti-democratic, lowercase D as in the democratic ideals of this country.
And everybody should be consuming not only just as commentary based upon, again, a rational commonsense understanding of what the words mean, even though with respect to our president, they're jumbled, they're unclear, they're random, and they're seemingly misleading.
Nonetheless, that's the takeaway from all of this.
Again, Bill from Waukesha, as I said before, confirming Zelensky is the only adult in the room, right?
That's exactly
Alternate history, Cam from Appleton talks about today, and others, again, as a part of our communication here.
This is Dana from La Crosse.
Trump and Vance told the world today that the U.S.
sides with the axis of evil.
Yes, indeed.
That is the new world order that we're seeing develop here.
Robert from West Dallas.
Other world leaders should boycott meetings with Vance.
Cam from Appleton also, again, reporting that our defense secretary just ordered that our cyber command stop work on any Russian threats and prevention.
Russia, Russia.
Bill from Waukesha.
Again, this is a very sad day for America and a great day for Russia.
And Claire also saying it's almost as if Donald Trump wants World War III, the gleeful bully.
The man is sick, she says, right?
And beyond that, this is, this is Catherine from Madison.
The abuse of Zelensky today has the look of a stage reality TV episode to make Trump look powerful and demean Zelensky.
He did in the end, as we commented earlier himself comment about the way in which this will make great television.
Note that that has another aspect to it as well.
And that is we recall that Zelensky
very bright, very intelligent.
Before he became the president of Ukraine was what?
He was a comedian, very intellectually cutting comedy there in Ukraine about government and about the presidency that preceded him.
He's a bright guy.
And he also, like Donald Trump, like Donald Trump appreciates and values public imagery.
Let us see.
Let us see.
how this cuts.
It may well be that Vladimir Zelinsky finds a way to turn this kind of wild in exchange, this vitriol, even to his advantage.
And here's why.
I have never once seen a bully actually look powerful.
Every time I have seen a bully, I have seen a weak, weak.
person, someone who is unable to accomplish their goals through the means of communication, through the means of changing people's minds, through reason, through logic, through good means.
This is someone who only knows how to take down.
This is someone who has brought a leader of a sovereign country into the most sacred room of this country and bullied him into submission.
right and our president Is apparently proud of that today and maybe this does appeal it should not appeal as our previous colors have indicated should not appeal to anybody as it just as words Are causing for me it should make the hair in the back of your neck stand up
every single American, regardless of your political affiliation, your views about policy and practice in our country should look at this with abject horror, the creation, the evolution of a new world order, and the destruction of the safety and security that kept us safe and secure for all of these years.
We've got more callers.
We appreciate that so very much.
Your involvement in this important discussion today, understanding that this is going into the history books.
And one day,
As Jess has said, as I have said, as you have said as well, we may look back on this very day, this six minute and 50 second event, which again, as Jess has so professionally done, tagged and included in our podcast here on the Dom Salvia Show, accessible here for you to consume whenever you care to go back to it.
This may well be the kind of thing that the students of history are taught, not just in the next five or 10 years, but down the road as well as the change on the faith.
of this planet.
We do have other callers calling in.
Dick from Madison, I appreciate you being a part of our discussion this afternoon.
Yes, I
have you with us.
And I didn't like this at the time when Ronald Reagan was doing the radio check.
And he goes, I've just signed legislation along Russia and the bombing starts tomorrow.
And I thought it was just stupid as hell.
Just crazy.
But I guess my point is, can you imagine what he's thinking now?
or what he would think if he were alive.
And I was no fan of Reagan.
I vote Democrat, but he had this right.
They were the excess of...
evil right that's exactly that's Ronald Reagan's language and he would if he was alive today he would be horrified by all of this we're gonna take more callers as the Dom Salvia show continues appreciate dick your comment taking more callers right after this coming break on this major historical story that we're covering here on the Dom Salvia show stay with us
This is the Dom Salvia show.
My name is Jim Santel, sitting in for Dom, and this is the second hour of our broadcast this afternoon, joined in the studios by my partner and my colleague, Jessen.
Together we're taking your phone calls, comments, appreciate all of that tremendously.
Noting as well as...
as Dom and Jess have said in the past, have posed this rhetorical question, but it's more than rhetorical, right, Jess?
The question often asked by Dom on this very show, perhaps a weekly, weekly event for you and Dom is asking and answering, maybe in part, the question if Donald Trump was a Russian asset, what more would he do?
And the answer is not a whole lot.
This awfully sounds an awful lot like someone who is indeed a Russian asset as Donald Trump, as Dom often says, describing Donald Trump.
And we've perhaps got more fuel for that particular theory today that Donald Trump is in creating this new world order, bending it toward Russia.
bending it toward a dictatorship, a nation that is not a place of freedom, bending it toward a nation that would like nothing more than our own destruction.
You wonder again, what the motivation for Donald Trump is today to throw the president of Ukraine out of the White House and send him packing back to Kyiv.
We've got lots of callers calling in, including Pat from Milwaukee.
Appreciate your comment, which I suspect is very much along those lines of what Dom and Jess often say.
Go ahead, Pat.
Jim, good to hear.
Yes, hello, Jim.
It's good to hear you.
And just a few days ago, Dom had Matt Flynn on again, your colleague.
And Matt had.
has been emphasizing for years that Trump is a KGB asset.
I think today's demonstration was sort of an indication that Trump's marching orders from Moscow were to get basically Zalitsky to virtually surrender.
So he doesn't surrender to Putin.
He keeps Putin from having that.
in dignity or being blamed for that, but he literally surrenders to Trump in a sense by acquiescence.
And it was painful to watch.
It was nauseating to see what was happening.
And we're in a world of hurt if this continues.
I am shocked that things aren't changing and moving in Washington as we speak.
And Pat, appreciate again the observation, which I believe every American should share.
Exactly as you have articulated it, this is a time for great concern about our own national security.
Yes, indeed, the security of the Ukrainian people as well.
And one wonders aloud, what is the motivation for our president to do this?
What is going on here?
And the answers are not pretty.
The answers are not good and students and professors of international insight much brighter than I May in fact provide us with some answers one day as they rewrite the history But indeed this is history right now in the making and it's not a favorable arc of history Pat Thanks so much for your good comment and your observation here on our afternoon broadcast
Oli calling in also focusing on the history of what happened today here.
Oli, thanks for joining me.
Well, I think that this was a setup for Zilinski.
I think this was intended all along.
And they talk about the shot heard around the world.
Well, this will be the attack heard around the world.
Every country will see this and understand that
Trump and Vance can never be trusted again.
Unfortunately for our world.
And also I want to point out that Lindsey Graham was on TV today and said he would never be prouder.
It's humiliating that he is kissing Trump's rump.
He's not kissing his ring or his feet.
Let's put it.
would write where it belongs.
He's kissing his rump.
It is stunning, again, to see from Capitol Hill, people like Lindsey Graham, again, making those kinds of comments.
And Ali, I appreciate you're calling that to our attention, even as we all recoil in the basic event that we witness today, the language, but the response by...
Republicans in this case, but again by statesmen.
People are representing us in the United States Congress.
People that a few short years ago, not that long ago, at least in my memory, would have been horrified, horrified by this kind of thing, by any American president turning us back on our ally and possibly, as you and other callers have said, opening the door to a full-scale invasion, a takeover by this Russian president.
If President Biden had invited President Zelensky into the Oval Office to negotiate terms of a deal in which our country would support theirs and return for access to rare earth minerals, valuable natural resources, and not only did Biden shout down a democratically elected president, but kicked him out of the White House without signing a deal, without signing a deal.
What alternative universe are we living today when you make that very good comparison to what could have happened in the past and the predictable reaction to that kind of outrageous behavior by a president if the party affiliations had been otherwise?
And that's a part of the tragedy.
Profound challenge that we face today in America that even on something that's fundamental the right of a sovereign nation to exist It's been our ally where they have if they do in fact have elections and that people are heard and that we've got Anyone of any party coming forward and saying yeah, that's that's okay if indeed we give up our defense of that nation and we serve up
not just the president, but the nation itself to someone who is a dictator, who is not anywhere near in our allied world order, just the opposite.
That's the great concern that Jess articulates as do many of our callers.
I appreciate all of that.
As the Dom Salvia Show continues, we'll continue taking your comments, your questions, your articulation of outrage about history in America today, February 28th, 2025, here on the Dom Salvia Show.
So f-
My name is Jim Santel, sitting in for Dom today on this historic day in American history when our American president threw the Ukrainian president out of the White House, terminating the vestiges of any
diplomatic relationship, probably not just between them, but between our nations as well.
We'll talk more about that, taking your calls, your comments as well on this historic day.
And a pause for just a couple of program notes as well.
I appreciate very much Tom from Jackson sending in a message about what's going on today, this week from the Supreme Court.
And indeed, Tom, taking up on your invitation.
We'll be spending a lot of time.
on our Saturday and Sunday broadcast, that is Amicus Allora View, which I'm also hosting this weekend, talking, yes, about the Supreme Court.
It has been busy, Tom, as you know well.
We'll talk about the oral arguments taking place just this past week and things that they likely will decide coming up in just a few months.
Thanks, Tom, so much for that interest and that focus as well.
And then the more immediate program note is, as always,
Jess and I, consistent with Dom's tradition, Jess's tradition, are gonna spend the last segment of this hour doing something that we call, tell me something good.
And so if you two can participate in this- Goodness,
Please tell us something good, right, Jess?
I've got something, Jess has got something, and you too, you too, if you call in, you can offer a perspective on what's going on today, but also give us, tell us something good going on.
in your life, in the world, the state of Wisconsin, as we finish out this broadcast later in this half hour.
But before we do that, lots of good callers, lots of good insights, perspective and questions coming up.
Let's begin with Ed.
Ed, you've been focused on all of this today.
What's your comment, your question, your inquiry?
Glad to have you with us.
Well, thanks for listening to me.
I'm just calling that, you know, just be expressed my sorrow to know that this country is so lacking in, according to the words of our president in raw earth.
He said, we do not have raw earth.
And, you know, I live in the countryside.
I look at my plowed up fields and I'm thinking, boy.
Nobody should come here and prospect for rare metals, rare earth metals.
Maybe we do have them here, but we don't.
That was sad to hear right
world press right that we do not have raw earth
and that's our president speaking and people do listen to the president regardless of who occupies the White House right there's always been a sense of authority it goes back again to James Madison running he contemplated that the president would be someone to whom we can look for information and guidance and and frankly support and solace in tough times that is not this presidency
And not only do we not get just what you just described so well, we get just the opposite and we get lies, right?
The number of times that the president
Every day, every day says things out loud that are simply demonstrably, not just misrepresentations, not just fudging on the facts, but they're simply lies.
They're simply deception for his own purposes.
Ed, appreciate very much your observations as well.
Appreciate also all of our callers, including Wisco Paul.
Wisco Paul, you're here with us this afternoon.
Appreciate your comment or your perspective along the way as well.
Well, thanks for taking my calls.
It's a hard day.
It is a hard day.
But I'll give you two names that still make me mad, and it's Comey and Garland.
You know, they didn't do the job, but I had so much hope starting today that they would reach some deal.
But I really don't think they had any intention of reaching a deal.
I think Zelensky was set up, and this was the plan all along.
And that's one of the reasons there's a big letdown for me because I thought we had a chance to do something
Something good, right?
Right?
And something that would be good for all of us, not just the Ukrainians, but certainly the Ukrainians at the top of this, something good for the entire international community.
We had this opportunity here and although it might be somewhat unknown to us exactly what the nature of this deal was going to be it involved minerals of some kind as we've been commenting about all afternoon but some understanding that would somehow maybe one day bring some peace there and the stopping the killing and stopping the war but also on terms that do not do not give Putin what he wants which is a takeover of the Ukrainian nation
that Trump is intent on strip mining Ukraine of its rare earth minerals, not its raw earth minerals, as Trump said several times and as our caller Ed pointed out.
Ukraine surrendering to Russia, giving up all of the land and all of the people.
the thousands of Ukrainian citizens who have been not only forcibly taken into Russia, but who have been kidnapped into Russia.
Undeniably, a tremendous number of war crimes, some of which we know about, many of which we do not, and the victims of that war...
prosecuted by this despot coming out of Moscow, the profundity, the horror of that cannot be overstated.
And today, our president seemingly throws his lot in with that very authoritarian government and throws out the man who is, yes, coming here to seek peace in some way that can preserve his nation, his people, and not to happen.
Not to happen, as Paul has just indicated.
Joe, Joe from Madison.
Let's let's hear from you also appreciate your participation in our program this afternoon.
Great show and I really appreciate all the information and background.
I think it's really helpful to the audience and great comments from people that were also.
really informative and I just can't thank everyone enough in a bad way, but still wonderful.
My true sense is about this, which is I think that Zelensky was set up.
It was the fact that Vance was in that office.
There was no reason for him to be there or for Marco Rubio to be there in what was going to be taking place.
Otherwise there would be diplomats equal to that coming from the Ukrainian side and there weren't.
And I think that the other thing that was happening there was Zelensky knew that
he was going to be set up and he has prepared.
And the preparation that he has to make is to know that he was going to get a rotten deal from Trump and be belittled and betrayed by him.
But I think what's been interesting is the immediate response in Europe.
There have been over 17 countries in Europe that have immediately put forth messages of we stand with Ukraine.
And the most important one to me is one that speaks to the comments that you had earlier in the show where you said, the world is changing.
And the comment would be that by the police, a policy chief for the European Union who said, and this is a quote, the free world needs a new leader.
that person did not yet.
They didn't say the EU.
They said the free world.
I found that to be fascinating.
Absolutely.
giving up on us, people.
up on us.
They cannot trust us.
We betray.
We're on Putin's side.
So a new game, it's a new role of the dice on the board.
And the free world needs a new leader is a very evocative way of saying, okay, we're wiping our hands and moving on.
And as another caller said earlier, I do think that that's going to leave us in a world of her.
not a good place to
Absolutely.
I appreciate how much, once again, that
Sage observation there, it is a new world order and we may find ourselves in a part of that world order that is not only uncomfortable but downright destructive to our nation one day.
That's the great fear.
That's the great concern coming out of what, again, at least superficially sounds like a spat, but it's so much more than that.
It is so much more than that.
And to the good comments who are already made about the motivations for this and JD Vance being there,
Take a look at what Jess has posted on all of the broadcast stations here of Civic Media.
Take a look whether it's on television, but listen to it here on radio.
And you'll get a sense that J.D.
Vance's inter-session into this conversation does seem a bit planned.
And to that extent, there may be something to that theory about setups, and we don't know.
Historians will find out one day, one day, and this will be written about, but it certainly does strike an awful lot of people who are both inside and outside of what was going on there, that there was something very, very nefarious going on here, and indeed, resulting in this catastrophic event in American history.
Kurt, calling in from Madison, also appreciate your comments about our president and what happened today.
Yeah, you know, I've sadly have had to watch from for a very long time.
This is the individual who has got the intellect of a 5th grader.
He cannot speak in complete sentences.
That's why he uses his hand so often.
If you simply go back as painful as it is and watch how he behaved in speaking with Zelensky,
He never once made a complete sentence that made any sense.
Although other than him saying, oh, you're making a big mistake.
I'm talking about the initial communication.
Now, I do see, I'm in agreement with Joe.
I know Zelinsky, he's a smart dude.
He knew he was walking into a trap, but he's hands are tied.
He had to go in and deal with these idiots.
But I see a silver lining to this.
I think that,
for the world seeing what went down and how it went down and with someone who is now the president of the United States.
I'm not saying that this is the final catalyst that will start tipping things the other direction, but I think it will start changing things quite dramatically.
And that's starting with the European nations and the United Nations.
I think
The United States is about to learn a very, very terrible lesson, what it's like to be, well,
Right.
And either on our own or allied with some people who do not have our best interests in mind, right?
The allies that we may be coming shouldering up to and embracing right now do not have our interests.
at heart they do not and Kurt could not agree more with all of that again historians will be looking at this and telling us more about it but to the extent that again this this particular story as horrific as it is
does have the attractiveness of having an oral aspect to it.
You can listen to their words.
You can listen to this fight.
And yes, indeed, if you pull it up and watch it visually, your good point about people around the world being able to access this, to hear it, to consume it, and to see our president do what he did today, there's clarity to it.
I know that all the nations on the face of this planet do look to us and they do understand a whole lot more about what's going on domestically in our nation than we perhaps understand about their nations.
We are the focus of a lot of attention overseas.
Even so, all of this activity in connection with our budget and cuts in the Justice Department, all the things that we've talked about with such great precision here, they're hugely important, no attempt whatsoever to minimize this.
significance of any of them.
They do not have this visual horror that we saw today.
You do see people, yes, with no jobs, you do see these horrific things happening because we're no longer supporting our nations, our allies overseas, and people are quite literally dying in America and overseas as a result of that and the policies of this administration.
Today, we've got an illustration.
both orally and visually for all America to see that defines who we are, that defines who this president is, and in case anyone around the globe has not been paying attention or simply regards this as the latest American presidency.
Understand now that this is a whole lot more than that.
And I think your point cannot be overstated.
We have sent a message to the world.
This is who we are.
This is how we define ourselves.
And when we come back a couple more callers and we are in fact going to go into our regular segment.
Tell me something good here.
On the broadcast stations of Civic Media and the Dom Salvia show, stay with us.
The final segment of our day, my name is Jim Santel, joined in the studio by terrific Jess, who has been providing tremendously professional production values to our program all day, in addition to outstanding commentary on the big news of the day.
Having to do with this event that happened today in the Oval Office of the White House and...
Probably the destruction of any remaining relationship between our president and the Ukrainian president that
arguably could have led to some form of peace in Ukraine.
History will be written in the days and weeks and months and years ahead plainly, but today a day as virtually all, if not all of our callers and folks commenting on the drop line have said a day to be sad and scared and concerned about the future.
One of those commentators is Steve from Milwaukee.
An interesting linguistic
Item that Steve tells me about he makes reference to a thing.
I may I'm hoping to pronounce this correctly as it's called like she'll tongue It's a German pronunciation a German word meaning synchronization and Steve says the Germans have a word for what's going on today It's meaning synchronization bringing into line the process of Nazification by which Adolf Hitler the leader of the Nazi Party in Germany established a system of a totalitarian control over his nation Steve
Thank you for that linguistic and historical reference as well.
And we are now entering into that final portion of our broadcast where we're continuing to take calls, but also soliciting from you the news that you have about something that's good.
And that includes you, Jane, calling in from Eau Claire.
Appreciate your comment, your question, and then tell us something good about the world in which you live.
and good about the state that I live in.
And we have civic media and you wonderful people there, um, shedding light on what's going on and giving us an opportunity to express ourselves, which is really important because we're all in this together.
And I'm looking forward to nine a.m.
tomorrow because that's a great day.
And it always gives me something to look forward on Saturday morning, James.
Go ahead.
Everybody tune in.
You'll love it.
Okay.
Now, um, today we saw a very abusive, authoritarian, nasty, self-centered, hateful person that everything he does is he attacks it in that manner.
And I was sickened when I saw what happened to that man.
and it broke my heart.
But it also reminded me that this man here, who did this in front of the world, doesn't care about one person except himself, and he kept bringing it up all the time, stuff that happened to him.
remind people we are in this together and we will get through this but we have to fight and have our voices heard call your representatives.
It's important because a lot of times they don't hear and they think that all the things cuts they're making and all these things that they're doing I don't know if they think it doesn't impact or maybe we can't do anything about it but we can because we got a really bad bad man and anybody that supports it in that Congress
They're just as bad as he is.
You can judge a person by the company that they keep and admire.
So thank you very much and have a good weekend.
Thank you, Jeannie.
Thank you so much for that profundity in observation here.
Words for all of us to consume.
Telling us something good along the way about broadcasts here on civic media including my own which is tomorrow morning amicus a lot of you taking up as Tom has encouraged an awful lot of other things going on in Washington DC and around our nation including those lawsuits and other matters
But turning now to my friend, my partner, my producer, Jess.
Tell us something good, Jess, that we can focus on as we begin to conclude our program.
Here is something good.
The weather is warming up, and there is a very strong wind out today, but I happen to love that.
go a little in an inner direction.
I used to have very long hair.
And about a year ago, I decided to just chop it.
And I now keep my hair just about at my ears.
And I love the feeling of the wind just blowing through my hair.
So that was something that I was able to experience today that I'm looking forward to experiencing this weekend on some planned walks.
That is my something good getting out into nature.
could not be better stated anticipating again the coming spring the time when we can be outside with greater frequency enjoying this great state this great land which is still a great land lots of challenges as our callers and as jessus said as we go forward
in wrestling with and addressing a president who does not regrettably have the best interests of our nation in mind.
But here's my good item.
It's small, but it's significant.
Even though it comes with the hands of Donald Trump and a fellow named Elon Musk, the reality is that I think of the Merit Systems Protection Board, which is an agency of the federal government just a day or so ago reinstated.
reinstated six federal workers who were temporarily thrown out of their jobs and a probationary status relatively new in their positions.
Now they've got jobs again.
That's good news.
That's good news.
Perhaps presaging more good news down the road.
Delighted that all of you have joined me and Jess this afternoon for this discussion of history in America.
Plainly we continue to address this and other issues related to it here on all the broadcast stations of civic media.
Have a good Friday.
Have a good weekend, everybody.
Take care.
