On today's show.... Opening the show with Vicki is Judge Jim Troupis, discussing government bureaucrats using the judicial system to remove political opponents. US Sen. Ron Johnson calls to once again talk about the legacy of Pastor Jerome Smith, heart and soul of The Joseph Project. He and Vicki also discuss the inequality of the justice system along political lines. Author Todd Erzen joins via Skype to talk about his book (co-authored with Steve Deace), "Faucian Bargain: The Most Powerful and Dangerous Bureaucrat in American History." If you're looking for where to purchase the book, check The Vicki McKenna Show's blog at wiba.iheart.com. Bonner Cohen, senior fellow at The National Center for Public Policy Research (and a man with an excessively cool voice), calls to talk about the way in which local decisions and developments would be affected by the Biden Administration's infrastructure bill. And Vicki wraps up the show with itinerant co-host Brian Schimming in the studio talking about downtown Madison and Madison schools.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
