Matt Rothschild guest hosts for the day. At the top of the hour, Matt talks with Dave Zirin, sports editor at The Nation. In a contrary opinion to Matt's guests in the first hour, Dave calls for a deep reckoning within the Democratic party to address the failings that led to our 2024 loss. While he portrays a pessimistic attitude towards democracy, he urges us to resist. Resist the lies, resist the hate, and resist the temptation to curl up and consign our country to the dustheap. Instead, let's raise aspirations of what the world, and what this country can be. We must stretch our wings and reach out for better for all of us. And it starts with accountability.

Speaking of wings, in the bottom of the hour, we shift from Matt's passion for politics to his passion for birds. Jeffrey Worrel joins us representing the Raptor Resource Project. Just this week, the Raptor Resource Project caught- and after some research, released- the oldest known golden eagle in North America! Jeff shares a wealth of information with us, as we end our day with an extended "tell us something good" segment. Of course, with Matt, we formally end with a poem. Today, we share "Beside the Golden Door" by Rita Dove.
