8 AM: Shutdown Tensions & Investing in Our Future (Hour 2)

In Hour 2, Homer and Dame focused on the partial government shutdown, discussing who isn’t getting paid and raising concerns about ICE enforcement, protest tracking, and accountability. The conversation expanded into a broader political discussion about midterm elections, power struggles, and why staying informed matters more than ever. The hour shifted to education as the hosts welcomed Matthew Boswell from Milwaukee Public Schools to talk about the upcoming Kindergarten Enrollment Fair. Boswell explained the importance of starting kids early, highlighted full-day K3 options and Montessori programs, and outlined transportation availability. The segment wrapped with a reminder that families can enroll this Saturday, February 21, from 9 a.m. to noon at North Division High School.
