The last time this theme will be played, how it sounds different knowing it's going away, saying goodbye to both a theme and to democracy, the contentiousness involved in choosing a new theme, the show will be taking phone calls today for the first time in a while, a listener letter on the theme change, factors that are considered when choosing a theme, interesting facts about the funeral arrangements of former president Jimmy Carter, his service on a submarine, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman refuses to lower the flag to half staff for the late president in an apparent show of disrespect, Donald Trump's somewhat surprising comments, how Blakeman has pulled Nassau County into fascism, how Republicans in Suffolk County seem to say the right thing occasionally, Trump is taking office on Martin Luther King Day, the danger of Denmark compromising with Trump, the need to not yield on anything with Trump, how "YMCA" by the Village People is indisputably a gay anthem, a change in tune as the group will now be performing for him at the inauguration, threats of lawsuits for anyone claiming the song is a gay anthem, Emmanuel reads a list of song titles from the group that all seem gay-themed, Channel 11 in New York is now blocked on Optimum, the channel used to be owned by the New York Daily News, the various rules and deals involved in carrying stations on cable systems, insults are traded between Altice and the various networks they're in disputes with, how KTLA in Los Angeles has been on the air without commercials for days covering the fires in their area while their signal was cut by Altice, how even the fires are being politicized by Republicans, next week these people will be in charge and responsible for whatever happens, the outro has new meaning.

A theme plays, it's revealed that this was not the actual new theme but the second place finisher, playing the real new theme for the first time, the shortest theme on record, phone lines are open, why Emmanuel feels optimistic, comfort in knowing the unpleasantness that awaits those who are now in power, Elon Musk makes an unmistakable Nazi salute during the inauguration, refuting the excuses that this was something else, the Anti-Defamation League defends Musk, how the ADL has become a travesty, it's no surprise that the incoming administration has shown no interest in reaching out to the other side, the philosophy that repeating the same lie over and over again will eventually convince people it's the truth, justifying Biden's pardoning of his family before leaving office, the amount of times Republicans have done similar things without nearly as much criticism, the absurd prospect of Tulsi Gabbard being in charge of intelligence, Kyle explains why Republicans shouldn't have anything left to complain about, tariffs are planned for allies like Canada, there hasn't been any movement on addressing the war in Ukraine, a song from "Eraserhead," the death of David Lynch, he would have turned 79 yesterday, Kyle's experience with Lynch films, how the L.A. fires may have played a part in Lynch's death, how Trump is trying to bypass the Constitution on the issue of birthright citizenship, wondering why Trump felt the need to attack the trans community so quickly, Kyle explains why more people are identifying as trans now, a parallel to why more people identify as left-handed now than in the past, Emmanuel tells the story of Renee Richards, this race was not a mandate, an invitation for listener feedback, reminding people to be happy and hopeful.

The new theme makes everyone move faster, how radio lends itself to going on tangents, it feels like we're living under an occupation, how it'll likely get harder for people to support Trump as time goes by, people who are genuinely afraid of Trump, why WUSB provides an environment where we don't have to be afraid, the leader of Colombia objects to the way his citizens are being treated when deported back to his country, threats from the United States in response to these objections lead to him completely caving in, how this kind of intimidation leads to uncertainty in global trade which can cause much bigger issues, how nobody is talking about gas prices going up since Trump took office, skyrocketing egg prices, it's now against federal rules to communicate with the World Health Organization, encouraging people to rat out the existence of DEI programs, talk of changing the rules to allow Trump to serve a third term, waiting for the backlash, an ICE raid with Dr. Phil, wondering what the plan is after Trump deports all of these people, provable facts about Trump, coming to terms with the fact that we elected someone who is a criminal and completely immune from prosecution, attorneys general in 19 states warn Costco to shut down its DEI programs, how this is Orwellian doublespeak, being categorized by the way people look happens to everyone, how this is different for the disadvantaged, how Elon Musk never denied making a Nazi salute, Emmanuel's idea of an acceptable response for someone accidentally making a Nazi salute, Musk makes Nazi jokes and is finally criticized by the ADL, wondering how Rudolph Giuliani suddenly got the money to save much of his property after a devastating lawsuit, the Trump administration reveals that the mystery drones were authorized by the FAA, this is almost exactly what was being said weeks ago when Democrats were accused of covering something up, how Republicans keep trying to get credit for things they voted against, some pushback from the courts to Trump's actions, why it's a mistake to assume elected officials or corporate leaders are going to have any backbone, the importance of being true to yourself, why people should never be intimidated into being silent, how Jim Acosta was forced out of CNN after angering Trump, Newsday files a lawsuit against Nassau County Executive Blakeman for stripping the paper of its title after they published unfavorable stories, how Blakeman has proven himself to be extremely vindictive and petty, the duty of the press to report the truth, an old standard that points to immigrants as both the problem and the solution.
