Pardon Wars - Full Show

WTMJ host Steve Scaffidi was joined on the phone by National Review writer Christian Schneider to talk about U.S. President Donald Trump’s inauguration, his executive orders, his pardons, former President Biden’s pardons and Trump’s other first day actions. Steve and Christian go more in-depth with Trump’s pardons, his swift un-banning TikTok (as well as the caveats that accompany it), the future of the application, the state of X and more. Steve Scaffidi was joined by Urban Milwaukee President Jeramey Jannene, and they began by discussing the boat that has been beached near Milwaukee's coastline. Steve and Jeramey then discussed school resource officers in Milwaukee Public Schools, how MPS is going to pay for the officers and if there would be a board that would “right the ship” for MPS. Fellow WTMJ host Kristin Brey joined Steve Scaffidi to talk about Elon Musk’s post-inauguration speech where he made gestures that resembled those of certain fascist regimes and what Donald Trump’s inauguration meant. Kristin and Steve discussed the first episode of their new podcast “You Need to Listen” about TikTok and they talked about TikTok further on the show.
