Hour 1 of The Dawn Stensland Show:
- Local News Headlines/News Rundown
- As tensions continue to rise between Russia and the international community, the Biden Administration announced plans to deploy 3,000 troops to Eastern Europe, offering aid to NATO allies in the region. U.S. troops, however, will not be sent to Ukraine.
- Philadelphia has announced a delay in its vaccine mandate policy for city police officers. The new deadline will be February 11th.
- Tony Woodlief—Author & Executive Director at the State Policy Network—joins the show to discuss his new book, I, Citizen: A Blueprint for Reclaiming American Self-Governance. Dr. Woodlief explains that most Americans aren’t as divided as politicians and news media would have us believe. Contrarily, data and polling show that most Americans are fine with compromise provided it results in civility. Do politicians benefit from dragging everyday Americans into the vitriolic partisan fray? Dr. Woodlief says most Americans have had enough with the governing class and many are deciding to run for office themselves—particularly at the school board-level.
