In hour two, John and Gordy get into the Big Story they previewed in the last hour, TikTok, and the uproar that the ban, and resurrection by Trump has caused. We chat with Brittney Merlot about the extremely cold weather, then take a look at a Fox News exclusive: a list of his day-one executive orders. Later, we chat with former Madison Mayor Paul Soglin, talking about the inauguration, as well as how State Street has changed over the decades, and the challenges it faces with empty stores and rising rents. As we close out the show with leftovers, SNL helps us out with an abridged version of the Weekend Update, the guys clown on the new (and tanked) TrumpCoin, and hear about Canada's preparations for Trump's incoming tariffs.
