John and Gordy kick off with their usual morning banter, also discussing the reasons for why Trump won. We cover the National Day Calendar, and also talk about reading novels, prompted by Mike McCabe's book signing last night. Later, Dr. Tim Slekar of BustED Pencils joins the show to give us the scoop on the future of public education - or the lack thereof under a Trump presidency. They also work to get to the root of wanting to defund schools, and what happens to a community when their schools close.
