What Does Democracy Mean to You? (Hour 2)

Dr. Reggie Jackson is back to discuss the current state of our society and the vital role democracy plays for everyone. He points out that food programs for children have faced cuts totaling $48 million, alongside reductions in educational funding. In a conversation with Earl, Reggie taps into the chaos of today's political landscape, highlighting significant cuts to essential services like Social Security and education. As websites collapse and public funding dwindles, it is the most vulnerable populations who bear the brunt of these changes, all while Congress remains inactive. Reggie underscores the profound impact on communities, especially the underfunded schools in Milwaukee. Callers passionately argue that grassroots movements are the key to addressing this crisis, yet there are lingering doubts about Congress's willingness to act. Reggie warns that we may be on the brink of an economic disaster reminiscent of the Great Depression, even as billionaires continue to prosper without a care.

Earl inquires about the motivation behind the establishment of their organization and the specific activities they undertake. Dr. Kristen Payne holds the legislature responsible for the problems and argues that if the community is so deeply engaged, then the government should step up to help create change. The coalition asserts that enhancing lead hazard controls could result in savings of $1.7 billion for each birth cohort due to a decrease in violent crime rates. Earl receives calls, and one caller expresses the opinion that politicians such as Robin Voss should be held accountable through lawsuits or even criminal charges for failing to allocate the necessary funds to tackle the health crisis effectively.

Matt and Angela begin the segment by highlighting Senator Cory Booker's extraordinary 25-hour speech on the Senate floor. While some critics have dismissed it as mere performance, the speech tackled several significant issues. Booker's lengthy address, which set a new record for the longest speech in the chamber, was bolstered by many Senate Democrats who asked questions to help share the speaking burden. This new record surpassed the previous one held by segregationist Senator Strom Thurmond, who filibustered for 24 hours and 18 minutes in 1957 in opposition to the Civil Rights Acts. Matt characterizes Trump as an egotistical maniac and con artist, claiming he is steering the country toward poverty and ruin. They also take calls from frustrated citizens who express their discontent with the Trump administration and the financial strain caused by his tariffs.
