The Pink House: To Save or Not to Save
An iconic house in Newburyport referred to as the “The Pink House” has been in the midst of a demolition battle between locals and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. What was originally built as a “spite” house in 1925 by a divorcee, has long become a historical icon in the region. The federal agency wants to tear down the home and return the land to its original state and support local wildlife, whereas the Save The Pink House organization is actively working to save it. Rochelle Joseph, President of the Save The Pink House organization joined Dan Rea.

Reaction to Rep. Seth Moulton
U.S. Representative Seth Moulton from Massachusetts received backlash over his post-election comments saying the Democratic Party is focusing too much on identity politics. Moulton expressed concerns he has with his daughters’ playing sports against trans athletes, a concern he says a majority of voters can relate to. Moulton says the backlash he received proves his point that “we can’t even have these discussions as a party.” Dan asked listeners for their reactions to Rep. Moulton's comments.
