In hour two, we chat with our WMDX News Bureau Chief Savanna Tomei-Olson during her weekly appearance, about her and Gordy's chance encounter at Target, and also some of the news from this week. She covers the revocation of student visas, and also the news that Ben Wikler, chair of the Wisconsin Democrats, will not seek reelection. We then dive into the story John previewed last hour on Australian 60 Minutes about Elon Musk, giving an outside view of the chaos being wreaked on the US Government. We check in with Brittney Merlot for a look at the weekend weather, and squeeze in an excerpt of a speech by Eric Swalwell, all about what kind of country we'd like to make, to live in, and to prosper in. Later, we welcome in Rökker, in for another preview of Max Ink Radio this weekend, as well as some upcoming local music performances you don't want to miss.
