Trump’s Retribution For “Fake News” Begins Now (Hour 1)
Today, Todd dives deeper into what Donald Trump’s upcoming presidency may mean for the news media. He shares an article from CNN’s Brian Stelter on Morning Joe’s choice to meet with the president-elect. Upon further reflection, they may have had this meeting to avoid the fate of CBS, who have an upcoming transaction in front of the FCC because of grievances from Donald Trump. Brendan Carr, Trump’s nominee for FCC Chairperson and a contributing author of Project 2025, appeared on Fox News to speak about this transaction. Currently, in order to facilitate investigative journalism without fear of retaliation, journalists are protected from being forced to surrender their sources and notes. Carr implied that these protections may be in jeopardy, opening the door for corporations and politicians to seek retribution against any news networks they personally disagree with.
At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers returns for another round of Tuesday Tangents! He and Todd continue the discussion about the Trump administration’s usage of intimidation against journalists and everyday citizens alike.

Tuesday Curd Talk with Luke Muenster (Hour 1)
Yesterday, we mentioned threats of armed militia groups hunting FEMA in parts of North Carolina. Today, Todd brings us an update on that situation.

The Riddle of Wisconsin
What is up with Wisconsin? The state that brought us the labor union and five day work week, the first state to ratify the 19th Amendment, the state once known as the "laboratory of democracy," has also brought us Joseph McCarthy and Scott Walker, and has become one of the most closely divided battleground states in the country. How did we get here, and how does what has happened here in this state reflect larger trends in American politics--a harbinger of what is to come, or how we can fix it?
