As temperatures rise, John and Gordy tackle the heated topics of protest dynamics and media portrayal in the U.S. and abroad. Through sharp analysis, they discuss the role of law enforcement in escalating peaceful protests, drawing parallels to past events with insights from former Madison Mayor Paul Soglin. The duo also critiques current political strategies, particularly those surrounding foreign policy and media distractions. Meanwhile, they keep things light with local business highlights, as Abby Abramovich of Doundrin's Distilling shares her journey of being a business owner. From political discourse to community tales, it’s an engaging blend of news and local flavor.
