Happy weekend, all! Let's review our best segments from this past week, eh?
First, from Tuesday's first hour, a bit of overtime with Maggie Daun. Do we want President Trump to be successful? Welllll... that really really depends on how you define "successful." Do we want our fellow Americans and this country to flourish? Of course. Do we want mass chaos and cruel policies? Absolutely the hell not.
Next, from Thursday's second hour: lawmakers in states that voted for Trump now find themselves facing down massive funding cuts that will hurt their constituents. Isn't it cute how they thought they were only going to 'own the libs' and not feel an ounce of the pain they so self-righteously crowed would befall Democrats? No, of course it isn't. No American's pain is good. And. And you get what you voted for.
Then, how is this presidential administration's first 100 days shaping up compared to FDR's? We ask and discuss with our favorite Delano Democrat, Harvey Kaye, from our second hour on Monday.
Finally, let's wrap it up with something good! Als from Thursday's second hour, a few moments of peace.
Guests: Maggie Daun, Harvey Kaye

This episode is a curated Best Of, pulled from January 22nd and 23rd. First, from January 23rd's first hour, our talk with Wisconsin's Attorney General Josh Kaul on the lawsuit our state joined opposing President Trump's unlawful attempt to end birthright citizenship. Then, from that day's second hour, checking in with our friend Bill Press on how to navigate the firehose of BS from the chaos administration.
The second half hour comes from our second hour on January 22nd, with Matt Rothschild as cohost. We turn to Bishop Mariann Budde and the moving sermon she delivered to the Interfaith Inaugural Service on January 21st. And of course, we ended that day with something good.

In a shocking turn of events, the drastic cuts in federal funding will impact states that voted for Trump! Please, if it wasn't obvious, note the sarcasm. OF COURSE the draconian, cruel, and shortsighted slashes suggested by shadow-president Musk will hurt Red states. When red states receive a disproportionate amount of federal aid compared to what they contribute, OF COURSE cuts will hurt them first and worst. But now their lawmakers are sooo concerned that what they voted for will come to pass.

If there's ONE thing we can agree on regardless of political ideology, it's often that money and politics ought to stay away from one another. Of course, since the Citizens United case, money has BEEN politics. And We the People paid the price.
But money can't buy every election. Just ask Eric Hovde, who failed to garner enough votes to win a US Senate position from Wisconsin voters. He re-emerged, minus the mustache, to bemoan once more his loss to Senator Tammy Baldwin. No, he didn't come out to congratulate Senator Baldwin on her win nor on the excellent work she's done in the Senate since. He turned on his camera from state unknown (almost certainly California) to reiterate election denialist conspiracy theories. BORING! Meanwhile, Senator Baldwin continues to serve Wisconsin and the United States well and true. She pressed Linda McMahon, nominee to be Secretary of Education, on dark allegations.

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. Turning away from national politics for a bit, we look at the race for Wisconsin's Supreme Court. This election is shaping up to be exorbitantly expensive, with millions and millions already raised by the two candidates. In 2015, Scott Walker signed a bill into law rewriting Wisconsin's election finance laws. Now, money is speech in Wisconsin, and there is no limit on donations to state parties, who can then disperse the funds as they see fit. It's law, but it's not right. And we ask where the speech is for those of us without tens of thousands to give to our favored candidates. Where is the voice for the working people? Where are our elected leaders to stand up to the billionaires stripping our government for parts and footing us with the bill?

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. Every day of President Trump's second term is apparently 'bring your billionaire to work' day. With Elon Musk, the world's richest person, answering questions from press in the Oval, we're wondering who the real president is. And Musk is already openly admitting to misleading the public- we call that 'lying' round here- on rationales for cutting life saving aid. No, there was not $50,000,000 in condoms allocated out of USAID's funding. And despite Musk claiming that his team will get things wrong and make it right, we're still waiting on an apology and clarification. And we'll keep on waiting. Because it's just not going to happen. Ok, so Musk's lying to us. But is Trump at least delivering on his promise to lower inflation ON DAY ONE? Nope. Not even in the first few weeks.

The last time Trump imposed tariffs and ignited a stupid, meaningless trade war, he paid nearly $30 BILLION to farmers who'd lost income– bigly– in China's retaliation. Hell of a job, Negotiator... Now, with a 25% tariff on all imported aluminum and steel, we wonder how much he'll have to pay off to manufacturers and beer canners, to name two impacted parties. We talk with our audience about the devastating impact Trump's tariffs will have on Wisconsin. His billionaire buddies won't feel a twinge of pain. We The People will. And in all likelihood, Trump will have to go bail out another industry with tax payer dollars.

Maggie Daun joins us for a bit of overtime. We begin by picking up an audience member's question from yesterday: do we want President Trump to succeed? Well, that depends on how you define "success". Do we want Trump to be successful in subverting our constitution. No, we don't. Do we want Trump to succeed in enacting hateful policies the bring social justice back decades? Hell no. Do we want Trump to be successful by reducing taxes for his ultra rich pals while increasing costs for the rest of us? Absolutely not. So what can we do to oppose Trump? As federal judges currently bear the brunt of the defense, we look to Congress for support. That said, Maggie urges Democrats in Congress not to look at a shutdown as a political tool. Rather, assemble a cohesive policy set focused on protecting middle class Americans and STICK TO IT.
For the rest of the hour, we turn to tariffs. Yesterday, Trump announced an accross-the-board 25% tariff on all imported aluminum and steel. This WILL hurt Wisconsinites, with impacts on everything from infrastructure to beer. So Trump voters, is this whatcha voted for?

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the hour.
As Trump pushes hard on what the chief executive of our country can legally do, we ask: are we watching a constitutional crisis unfold? Federal judge after federal judge continues to block unconstitutional executive actions for this administration. Breaking in this hour, Federal District Court Judge Angel Kelley issued a temporary restraining order on Trump's NIH gouging in the 22 states that sued to protect medical research and services. But how much can federal judges do to oppose a president who seemingly entered this administration seeking not to remake the office, but to destroy the very foundation of American democracy?

The race for Wisconsin Supreme Court heats up between Judge Susan Crawford and Judge Brad Schimel. Both candidates appeared yesterday on WISN's UPFRONT for interviews. Each candidate discussed their views on recusal, money in the race, and hinted towards their views on abortion.
In other Wisconsin news, President Trump's financial decapitation of the National Institute of Health (NIH) will devastate UW's research capabilities. In response, Wisconsin joins with 21 other states to bring a lawsuit. Because Trump lacks the authority to revoke funds already appropriated. In fact, these funding slashes are fully unconstitutional, violating the allocation of the purse to Congress, NOT the executive branch.

Catch up on the best of this week's shows!
First, from Tuesday's second hour with Nick Ramos. Why has the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign filed an ethics complaint against Judge Brad Schimel?
Next, from Tuesday's first hour with Maggie Daun. The upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election pits Judge Susan Crawford against Judge Brad Schimel. Maggie's choice for Judge Crawford is quite clear, but not because Maggie will only vote for a progressive-aligned candidate.
Then, from Thursday's first hour with Earl Ingram. This combined segment highlights what Wisconsin lawmakers are doing to protect us from the wreckage brought by President Trump's administration.
Finally, as we always end our shows, something good. From Monday's second hour with Harvey Kaye.

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review guest hosts for the day.
At the top, we conclude our discussion from last hour on the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) with breaking news. Federal Judge Carl Nichols issued a temporary pause on President Trump's mass gutting of the agency. After that, we bounce to the Department of Justice, now led by Attorney General Pam Bondi. This week, Trump established a task force to end anti-Christian discrimination. Dom and Earl covered this particular topic yesterday. In a final piece of alarming news developing, thousands and thousands of government webpages vanished These pages contained critical information to millions of Americans. And now they are simply gone.
The news from the federal Executive Branch is exhausting. It's meant to be exhausting. To drain us and leave us unable to muster resistance to protect our democracy. Don't let it win. So, we end the show with our regular segment, Tell Us Something Good!

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review guest hosts for the day.
What is the United States Agency for International Development, USAID? And how does USAID further America's goals and standing worldwide? Jim has personal experience with USAID, having served with the agency during 2006-2008 in Iraq. Today, Jim brings history and service together to share the mission and practice of USAID to us all. In 1961, Congress passed the Foreign Assistance Act, providing legislative scaffolding for President John F. Kennedy to use his executive power to establish USAID. Now, President Trump seeks to shutter the agency entirely. Despite Secretary of State Rubio's assertion that all lifesaving work will continue through the application of waivers, that's a moot point with no one to process them. So what does this critical agency do and how does it contribute to America's power and influence worldwide?

Earl Ingram joins as cohost for the day.
Today, President Trump announced that he's establishing a task force to end anti-Christian bias. If that confuses you, join the party. In what part of the United States do Christians face discrimination? Certainly, there have been instances of vandalism of churches- but oh wait, that was the group once known as Proud Boys. And they were all just pardoned by Trump.
Next, more nonsense from the 47th President of these United States. Our felonious, truth-averse President asserted in a social media post this morning that DOGE had uncovered an enormous scandal involving truth-aligned media outlets receiving money from the government for what he alleges are biased articles. And this is gonna shock you: he's right! In part. Outlets like Politico receive money from the government in exchange for their service. It's called a subscription. But Trump and his billionaire cronies led by Musk are using this, like they're using every bit of info they steal from the government, to justify gutting agencies that provide lifesaving work. Honestly, the flood has been so intense we can't find one neat article to give you on that last claim. So start here, with HALF of Wisconsin's Head Start programs unable to access necessary funds due to this administration's chaos.

Earl Ingram joins as cohost for the day.
As President Trump's administration seeks to break the system by bringing in non-experts to roles that require expertise, we're grappling with what we can do. Wisconsin legislators are stepping up to protect the American people from the damage. Specifically, our elected Democratic officials seek to put guardrails in place to protect us from the unelected, unqualified, chaos bringers around Elon Musk. Mark Pocan, Wisconsin Congressperson introduced the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK) Act. It's on the nose, but we're all for it. Our Senator, Tammy Baldwin, introduced legislation to close tax loopholes that benefit billionaires. And Wisconsin Congressperson Gwen Moore stormed House Speaker Mike Johnson's office to demand answers on who the hell these DOGE people are who are now able to access sensitive tax information.

We carry over conversation from last hour on the tragic and preventable death of Cole Schmidtknecht, a 22-year old man living in Appleton, WI. Cole died of respiratory distress after being unable to afford an inhaler that his insurance ceased covering. In a lawsuit his family is filing against Walgreens and OptumRX, a subsidiary of United Healthcare, they claim Cole was provided neither proper notification of the change in coverage nor provision of an alternative. This is the world of dollars over doctors, cents over sense, and profit over patients. It's shameful, it's wrong, and it doesn't have to be like this. Our nation, founded to promote the general welfare, can be so much better. We talk with callers throughout the hour who have experienced the worst our healthcare system offers and who know we can turn this around.
We end the hour chatting with Mike Clemens, Civic Media sports reporter, on basketball trading and Superbowl predictions.

Guest: Mike Clemens
As the race for the next Wisconsin Supreme Court justice election heats up, we'll keep you updated. This week, Judge Brad Schimel's campaign released an ad with an altered image of Judge Susan Crawford. Schimel's campaign says they wanted to make Crawford appear "ashamed". We say, if they want to see shame, just look in the mirror. The case raises concerns over not only the legality of using certain technologies to edit material for campaigns but also the appropriateness of it. If a campaign can use editing software to change a picture, why not use it to change the words spoken by their opponent? Where does this shameful act end?
In other shameful news, a Wisconsin man died of respiratory distress after being unable to afford his inhaler. The man, Cole, did not receive appropriate notice that his inhaler would no longer be covered, nor was he able to purchase an alternate drug according to the lawsuit his parents are filing. This is where for-profit healthcare gets us. Shameful.

Nick Ramos, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, joins us to break down their formal ethics complaint against judge Brad Schimel. Schimel is also, of course, a candidate for Wisconsin's highest court. And he's been going around 'joking' about begging on his hands and knees for campaign support. Meaning money. He's 'joking' about begging for money. As a judge. In direct violation of Wisconsin's Supreme Court code of ethics. Nick joins us to discuss how and why WDC filed their complaint and what they hope to achieve with it. Beyond this apparent financial impropriety, Nick and Dom discuss another of Schimel's concerning behaviors- pre-judging cases that are likely to appear before Wisconsin's highest court. We're especially concerned with his already well established position on Wisconsin's 1849 abortion law.
We finish the hour turning to the once Proud Boys, you can call 'em the Broke Boys now. Or really you can call them anything except the Proud Boys, as they've lost ownership of their name in a bit of truly tasty just desserts.

Maggie Daun joins us for a bit of overtime. First up, let's discuss Brad Schimel's shameful shill of a campaign to be a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice. A taste here and then we'll get into it more in our second hour. Schimel's been out and about 'joking' about buying up stores of kneepads in order to go around on his hands and knees groveling and begging for money to fund his campaign. Of course, this would be in direct violation of judicial campaign ethics. Our friends at the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign filed an official complaint, we'll be talking to their Executive Director, Nick Ramos, in the next hour.
Turning to the national stage, Trump's administration faces a wave of lawsuits. In relation to DOGE, the supposed 'Department of Government Efficiency', federal employee unions sued. They assert that DOGE's access to sensitive information, like social security numbers and other governmental employee info, is illegal.

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the hour.
With chaos abounding from the national stage, we take this hour to talk history with Harvey Kaye. American history is complex. It's messy. And it's full of contradiction. Harvey urges us to grapple with all that American history contains. The good, the bad, and most certainly the ugly. If we try to paint our history is merely good or bad, we fall into a trap that denies the beauty and potential of this country.
We end our show with something good. Harvey reminds us of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s favorite quote from Thomas Paine, "we have it in our power to begin the world over again." And isn't that the truth?

Guest: Harvey Kaye
Let's get this week going! In Wisconsin news, Governor Tony Evers' announced that he will veto any bill that forces local sheriffs to coordinate with ICE or lose state funding. Defunding the police just wasn't on our bingo card for the 2025 Republican-led state legislature, but here we are. With a Democratic governor seeking to preserve funding for the cops, and Republicans threatening to pull it. Strange times. Also in matters of Wisconsin justice, Brad Schimel keeps joking about begging for money... in direct violation of judicial ethics.
In national news, President Trump pursues his campaign promises to enact steep tariffs. The tariffs against Canada and Mexico are now paused for at least 30 days. Why? Because Trump 'reached an agreement' with each country to obtain... less than what Biden's administration secured. Huh. So what was the purpose of this 'dumbest trade war'? And why is the SEC now barred from doing their independent investigative work? Well, perhaps it's all a racket meant to defraud the American people.

In today's second hour, Dom continues to take your calls on GOP hypocrites like State Sen. Cory Tomczyk who want "In God We Trust" plastered prominently on public school walls. Dom also dives into when it is or isn't appropriate to push back on religious beliefs or organizations. Sometimes, Dom can come off pretty harshly about religions, but ultimately, human society is very biased towards those who are religious. Even if you ignore historical atrocities like the crusades and inquisitions, churches operate without paying any taxes.

Earlier this week, Dom brought us a story from Milwaukee about a Puerto Rican family allegedly detained by ICE for speaking Spanish in public. Earlier today, ICE themselves have reported the story to be false. We will keep you updated on this and similar stories as they develop.
Our Republican legislators here in Wisconsin are always looking out for us. Not. Three WI lawmakers have proposed a requirement for all public schools to display "In God We Trust" on their walls. Why should all of those who aren't Christian pay for this? How exactly is that going to prevent school shootings? Also, if you dig in to the individuals proposing this legislation, people like Sen. Cory Tomczyk aren't exactly moral paragons. Sen. Tomczyk was caught using homophobic slurs against a teenager and tried to sue a local nonprofit newspaper for publishing the story.

He and Dom continue the conversation about yesterday's tragic plane and helicopter collision and the heartless response from President Trump. As the investigation continues, we will keep you updated on the REAL cause of the accident. Dom and Jim take your calls on this horrible disaster and our president's subsequent blame game.

Jim Santelle of Amicus: A Law Review joins Dom today to address yesterday's tragic plane crash. In this time of national mourning, our president is further dividing us, blaming the disastrous collision on DEI. President Donald Trump has always used his time in the public eye to spew word vomit, but it's particularly telling that he can't even bring Americans together after the deadliest American plane crash in over 20 years.

In hour two, Dom dives into some breaking (to him) news: people, American Citizens in Milwaukee, being rounded up and unjustly detained by authorities, for (the crime?) of speaking Spanish. With a caller, we take a look back at how crooks in government looted Orange County, California, and why Donald Trump will use it as a template to do the same thing in the federal government. Later, we return to the topic of Milwaukee's citizens being apprehended by ICE, and get input of callers on why We the People won't stand for it. At the end of the hour, in addition to hearing something nice to end the show, we get a preview of what's to come tomorrow: Brad Schimel, candidate for SCOWI, saying we need another "bloody revolution."

Dom is joined by fill-in producer Sam, along with some callers as they discuss Karoline Leavitt, the new White House Press Secretary, and her blatantly false claims, such as that DOGE found $50 million worth of condoms headed to Gaza. Despite this, it is "her job" to convey "the truth." Later, we dive into the chaos government and nation-wide caused by the order, then retraction of an immediate cut to all government grants and funds. While the water is still murky, Wisconsin has joined a lawsuit challenging the order, marking two our state has joined against Trump's policies, in less than two weeks.

Yesterday, Trump's White House released a memo ordering a freeze of up to $3 TRILLION in federal funds. Thankfully, a federal judge issued a stay until next Monday. To add to the federal shenanigan regarding 'efficiency' Trump has ordered all federal employees to return to the office. His administration is now offering buyouts for federal employees who don't want to return after being successful and efficient at home. Which means... they'll pay for the people not to work... which is somehow... efficient... Right. Regardless, it's an acceleration of Trump's promise to purge civil servants and replace them with loyalists.
In this hour, we hear from many of our audience who are struggling to understand how all of this federal chaos affects their lives. Hang on everyone. We're all in this together and we're going to make it through with humor and solidarity.

Maggie Daun joins us for some overtime to start the show. Yesterday, Trump's White House released a memo declaring a freeze up to $3 TRILLION in federal loans and grants. For a full breakdown and Maggie's legal analysis, check out her second hour today.
U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan for the District of Columbia issued a hold on the memo until next Monday. Still, so many organizations are already scrambling trying to understand how the memo- not a bill, not an executive order, a MEMO- will affect them. As Judge AliKhan says, it certainly appears that the federal government, in issuing this memo, did not understand the breadth of those who would be affected.

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the full hour.
First, is there a glimmer of unity among national Democrats? All Senate Democrats- Fetterman with some nudging- signed on to a one sentence resolution denouncing President Trump's pardons for those who violently assaulted Capitol Police on January 6th, 2021. Not much, but it's a bit of unity.
However, our main focus for the day is- big surprise here- what lessons we can apply from FDR to today's political and economic world. Harvey's been ruminating on FDR's call for 'militant liberalism' lately, so we break it down. Turns out it's not about making us adhere to strict uniform codes or schedules, it's about enabling and empowering the common people. That sounds nice, can we have more of that please?

Guest: Harvey Kaye
Happy days, y'all. It's a Monday and we're diving right into it all. Despair can leave us frozen. So let's focus on what we CAN control, eh?
This past week, many local Wisconsin communities' law enforcement agencies declared they would not participate in deportation efforts from the federal government. In response, Republicans in Wisconsin's legislature announced they will introduce a bill to force such cooperation. Dom and Jess strongly prefer that our local law enforcement instead focus on y'know, local law enforcement issues. So what can we do? We can call our elected officials and tell them what their constituents actually want.
Today is also International Holocaust Remembrance Day. This day marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, now 80 years ago. In a world where the man who controls the most resources and a powerful communciation platform performs a Nazi salute multiple times at a Presidential inauguration, we must bear witness and remember. When that same man then declares that Germany should 'move beyond' their guilt over the atrocities of the Holocaust, stand up and resist. Always. It's within your control.

Next, from Thursday's second hour, hear about how to navigate the firehose of Trump's, shall we call it 'guano', to focus on what matters with Bill Press.
Then, from Wednesday's first hour with Matt Rothschild: was that a Nazi salute from Musk? That was ABSOLUTELY a Nazi salute performed by Elon Musk.
Finally, hear something good from Wednesday's second hour, with a poem selected by Matt Rothschild, and a clearing of the record from Dom.
Guests: Matt Rothschild, John Nichols, Bill Press, Earl Ingram
Jim Santelle, former US Attorney and host of Amicus: A Law Review joins us as cohost for the day.
In alarming news, the 47th President's Justice Department ordered a freeze on ALL civil rights cases currently in progress. DoJ officials may not file any new civil rights briefs, complaints, or court papers "until further notice." Also alarming, United States citizens have already been caught up in ICE sweeps seeking undocumented immigrants. In Arizona, members of the Navajo Nation reportedly have been detained. In New Jersey, the mayor of Newark reports that US citizens, including a military veteran, have been questioned and detained. The worst part of this is that those unlawfully detained would file their complaints through the Civil Rights office of the DoJ. Which, as a reminder, has been told to freeze all cases and not open any new ones.
Stay vigilant out there. Know your rights. Stand up for yourself and those around you.

We begin by checking in on the firing of Milwaukee meteorologist Sam Kuffel for her privately shared opinions. Sam, like so many of us, noted with disgust and horror Elon Musk performing a Nazi salute– multiple times!– at the inauguration. And she did exactly what we hope anyone would do. She called it out and denounced it in the strongest terms. Next, we turn to the matter of birthright citizenship. On the first day of his second term, President Trump (wow that's painful to write) issued an Executive Order seeking to strip citizenship from some born in the United States in direct violation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Immediately, many states, organizations, and individuals stood up and pushed back. Seattle federal attorney John C. Coughenour decried the move as "blatantly unconstitutional" as he set a temporary hold on the order. It's an example of what we need to do: push back.

Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day.
At the top of the hour, Bill Press- pundit, podcaster, prognosticator, and pal of the show- joins us. Bill, a longtime California resident, weighs in on the LA area fires. He's also an extremely experienced navigator of Trump's BS. Bill shares some guidance on how to sift through the firehose of executive orders, meandering social media policy announcements, and flurry of shiny object distractions. Because we simply can't focus on all of it. And we need to be able to focus on what's important. We're choosing to focus on what's most important, like y'know a President attempting to change the Constitution with an Executive Order.

Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day.
At the top of the hour, we talk with Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul. On President Trump's first day back in office, he issued an absolute slew of executive orders, some within the bounds of Presidential authority, some not. Amongst those orders was one that attempts to strip citizenship from some children born in the United States. Now, the 14th Amendment to our Constitution leaves no room for ambiguity- all those born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of this nation. Immediately, many states, including Wisconsin, filed a lawsuit to prevent this unconstitutional order from taking effect. Today, a Seattle federal judge- appointed by Reagan- slapped down the order as "blatantly unconstitutional." Wisconsin's Attorney General agrees wholeheartedly.

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day.
President Trump seeks to change the US Constitution by executive order, a clear violation of that very document. On the first day of his second term, he ended birthright citizenship by executive order. Granted, over 20 states immediately filed lawsuits and the negation of the 14th amendment's granting of citizenship to all those born on US soil won't take effect unless the legal challenges are all dismissed. Here's a line-by-line breakdown of Trump's executive order.
As this second Trump presidency unfolds and brings out the worst of oligarchy, we must be prepared to speak truth to power. We saw a powerful example of that on Inauguration Day. The Right Reverend Mariann Budde delivered an inaugural sermon on unity, patriotism, and compassion. And she addressed Trump directly in a plea for mercy towards the citizens and residents of this great country. She's an example for us all.

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. We need to talk about hand signals and the meanings they carry. Like we frequently recognize a welcoming beckon or a dismissive shooing, there are certain unmistakable things we can do with our hands. No one in our culture would mistake an extended middle finger on an otherwise closed fist as anything other than rude- potentially unless among very close friends. Similarly, a single raised flat handed salute from the chest only looks like one thing: the Nazi or Roman salute, an absolutely overt fascist symbol. And that's exactly what Elon Musk performed at the inauguration for the 47th President of these United States. Not to be misunderstood, Musk repeated the gesture. Beyond our reckoning, experts in the matter assert: what Musk did was perform the Nazi salute. If those who abhor the gesture won't convince you, look to the actual self-declared fascists who are celebrating. And that is absolutely unacceptable. Don't look away or make excuses. Elon Musk is showing us exactly who he is and what he wants. Do NOT let him have it.

John Nichols, journalist for Madison's Cap Times and The Nation magazine, joins us. We haven't talked with John since before the election, so we start catching up. Top of mind for us today is The Great Grift, how Trump's second presidency is shaping up to be one big scheme for the rich to pilfer the poor of even more money. Not to mention foreign entities, who can now buy Trump directly through his memecoin- they don't even need to stay at his hotels! John's takeaway? This all threatens the very foundation of democracy- the people's faith in their elected officials to pursue the best interests of the people, not just themselves. And Trump's designation of Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations? Is that also a shakedown scheme à la "protection money" that can be pain through crypto? Buckle up, everyone, this is day 2.

Maggie Daun joins us at the top of the hour for some overtime.
This hour, we're locked in on the slew of pardons issued by President Trump for those who engaged in a violent insurrection against the United States of America on January 6th, 2021. Of those pardoned, 11 are Wisconsinites. These 11 Wisconsin residents participated in the most overt attempt to disrupt our Union since the Civil War. Several directly assaulted Capitol police and shared proud recollections of their exploits on social media. Now, their slates are wiped clean and the history of that day is being re-written. Even many Republicans lawmakers voiced their alarm at the breadth of Trump's pardons for the J6 rioters. They shouldn't be surprised, OF COURSE Trump would fully pardon his biggest fans, duh!

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, our favorite Delano Democrat, joins us to break down the news of the day.
Today, Donald Trump was inaugurated as this nation's 47th President. It feels like a dark moment for our country, especially with the lineup of billionaire oligarchs immediately behind him for the event. Further darkening the moment, aspiring shadow-president Musk delivered not one, but TWO renditions of the seig heil Nazi salute. We really can't think of anything else to call it. A dark portent that leaves us shocked and horrified. Additionally, last night Trump appeared to thank Elon Musk for winning the state of Pennsylvania for him... through his extensive knowledge of the voting machines...
We're admittedly struggling to find some light today. Which makes it all the more vital that we find it. So we end the show with our recurring segment "tell me something good."

Well, it's here. During summer we had so much hope. Coming into November we really believed. And now here we are. The Lions have lost their shot at a championship. Of course, today is also the second inauguration for Donald Trump, now the 47th President of the United States. We take time to listen to some of the lowlights from his speech. So Trump's second presidential term begins. What will success look like? What metrics are we going to use to measure success? We'll see.
In a bit of dark irony, today is also a national day to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As much as today's inauguration sucks and reveals the weaknesses in our democracy, Dom and Jess urge you- remember that we as a nation have faced great darkness before and fought for light. If you find yourself needing a reminder, check out these Milwaukee students' essays on the Reverend King's legacy of compassion and courage.

Catch up on the best of this week's segments and join us on Monday for more!
First, Jack Smith's report on the January 6th insurrection and Donald Trump's role in it, with Maggie Daun from Tuesday's first hour.
Then, how bad of a problem is wealth inequality? Hear from our favorite Delano Democrat Harvey Kaye from the second hour of Monday's show.
Next, on Wednesday, the warring parties in Israel and Gaza agreed to a three phase ceasefire and hostage deal. The event bears strange echoes to the Iranian hostage crises of 1979-1980, which Dom discusses with Matt Rothschild and a disgruntled frequent caller with too much disinformation in his diet. This, from the first hour of Wednesday's show.
Finally, we remember Mr. Baseball, Bob Uecker, with Civic Media sports reporter Mike Clemens from the first hour of our Thursday show.
Have a great weekend, we'll catch ya on Monday!

Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day.
The federal minimum wage, on this day in 2025, is $7.25. Just as it's been for the past 15 years. That's a shameful legacy for America. Today in the rush of Senate confirmation hearings of this week, Senator Bernie Sanders pressed the Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent on raising this pitiful standard. Bessent declined. Turning to our environment, in Sander's questioning, nominee Lee Zeldin says he does believe climate destruction is a significant threat and is not a hoax! That's some good news, we guess, though the bar's damn low.
We move then to Biden's farewell address to the nation. In it, Biden ponders on the legacy he leaves behind as well as that which our greater American society is building. Particularly, Biden raises alarm over the growing strength of oligarchies in this country.

Today we say goodbye to Mr. Baseball, Bob Uecker. Bob was the voice of Milwaukee baseball- and lent his talents to nationwide baseball media- for decades. His love for the game infused each of his broadcasts, bringing joy to untold millions of listeners. To the end, Bob did his city of Milwaukee proud. Mike Clemens, Civic Media sports reporter, joins us at the bottom of the hour to share some favorite memories of Mr. Baseball. Bob Uecker, thank you for all you gave us.
For the middle of the hour, Dom and Earl turn their attention to the Wisconsin governorship. Tony Evers, now in the midst of his second term, reportedly has not yet decided if he will seek a third. Dom and Earl discuss, with audience participation, if indeed Evers, who will be 75 when the next election rolls around, should pursue another term. He's served Wisconsin well, but is it time for him to pass the baton? And if so, to whom?

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost today.
Today, Pam Bondi, President-elect Trump's pick for Attorney General faced Senate questioning. Unlike the nominee for Secretary of Defense, Bondi actually seems to possess the necessary skills and experience to fulfill the leadership position. Unfortunately, just like her fellow Cabinet nominee, Pam's primary qualifying merit for the position is her undying loyalty to Donald Trump. She represented Trump in his first impeachment trial of his first administration. Bondi campaigned with him in 2020 and pushed the Big Lie that the election was stolen from him. Even today in her hearing, she refused to say even once that Joe Biden won the 2020 election. Her inability to commit to being impartial and independent from Trump deeply worried Democratic senators today. And it deeply worries us.
We end the show with a moment reflecting on the healing majesty of nature with Wendell Berry's poem "The Peace of Wild Things" in our recurring Tell Me Something Good segment.

Matt Rothschild joins us today as cohost.
Today, the combating parties in Israel and Gaza reached a historic ceasefire agreement. The ceasefire agreement, brokered with mediators from the United States, Qatar, and Egypt, follows President Biden's proposed plan from May 2024. After over 15 months of devastating war, we take a few moments to cherish this relief. If followed to completion, this deal will lead to a permanent ceasefire. There is not, however, any language in the deal to work towards a true permanent solution that creates a state for the Palestinian people. Without a path to self-determination, we fear a return to this situation before too long.

The United States Department of Defense is a massive, complex organization that employs over 3 million Americans with an annual budget of nearly $1 trillion. The person to lead this machinery must have extensive experience with managing vast groups with competing needs. They must have strength of character to represent our country at home and abroad. In short, they must not be Pete Hegseth, who faced his Senate confirmation hearing today. In this hour, Dom and Jess listen to some of the questioning of Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Defense. The United States Senate bears responsibility for advising the President on their nominees before consenting- OR NOT. Despite his lack of qualifications, he seems poised to skate by with a bare minimum confirmation vote.
We end by reminding ourselves and each other the world isn't ALL terrible in a semi-regular segment: Tell Us Something Good!

Starting off with some Overtime with Maggie Daun, we've got a busy day. Finally, after long delays and foot dragging, we now have access to HALF of Jack Smith's report on Donald Trump's felony indictments. You can read for yourself Jack Smith's final report on the January 6th, 2021 insurrection instigated and authorized by the 45th and soon to be 47th President. The document itself is unprecedented, laying out how a former POTUS would have been convicted of federal felony charges to disrupt the peaceful transition of power. Yet we'll never have that fulfillment of justice. Because there was no precedent for charging a former President with insurrection. And, the legal terms for insurrection didn't quite line up with what happened that day. The case highlights the multiple systems of justice in this country. And it should serve as an alarm bell to call us all to action in this new administration.

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB joins us for the hour. We begin by addressing a caller from the end of last hour who asked, regarding funding disaster relief for the victims of the California fires, are we all in this together or not? Harvey, in classic Delano Democrat fashion, replies with wisdom from FDR's presidency. In his New Deal, FDR instituted the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to provide jobs, mitigate climate disasters, and provide for the future of our natural world. In short, his answer to our caller is that while we should all be in this together, we are not, due to the economic royalists. Who are those? Well, you'll have to read FDR's speech given to the Democratic Convention upon his second nomination for Presidency.

We are one week out from Trump's second inauguration and chaos already abounds. Fires continue blazing in California, with death tolls continuing to rise and tens of thousands of acres consumed by fire. As national elected figures struggle to put together an aid package, many Republicans seek to impose conditions. From policy changes in California to appeasing Trump with a debt ceiling increase, these strings are literally withholding lifesaving aid at a moment of extreme crisis. And it's a dark portent of what's to come in the next Trump administration.
Turning to Wisconsin matters, the new Legislative session announces the policies they'll pursue. Republican Senate leader Devin LeMahieu affirms that Republicans are anti-abortion and anti-marijuana, no changes there. They'll seek to restrict Wisconsinites access to abortion to 14 weeks and maintain our presence in the shrinking minority of non-legal weed states. Not surprising, but deeply disappointing and deeply misaligned with the will of Wisconsin citizens.

Earl Ingram, 8-10am host on Civic Media, joins us as cohost for the day.
Dom and Earl continue to address the heart-wrenching news out of California as wildfires continue devastating the LA region. If you are searching for a way to help victims of these fires, start here. Callers weigh in on their views for what's happening, why, and what's to come. One thought repeats and weighs heavily as we reckon with this climate disaster: the incoming President has made it clear he will not support efforts to mediate further climate degradation. More fires will burn. And we know how little compassion to expect when they do.
Then, we move to a truly new story. For the first time ever, a convicted felon will be inaugurated to the presidency of these United States. This morning, Donald Trump faced felony sentencing in New York for his election interference crimes relating to hush money payments. Trump now bears the title of "convicted felon" according to New York law. The sentencing left everyone involved unhappy, so I guess, Godspeed America.

Earl Ingram, 8-10am host on Civic Media, joins us as cohost for the day.
Starting off, Dom and Earl cover the latest in Wisconsin political news. First, the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race in April. The April 1st election sets liberal Dane County Circuit judge Susan Crawford against former Wisconsin Attorney General and current Waukesha County Circuit judge Brad Schimel for a spot on the state's highest court. Daniel Bice over at the Milwaukee Journal's most recent piece on the election showcases Schimel's most treasured aspects of his judgeship position. It's... disappointing.
Dom and Earl then move on to discussing the terrible wildfires raging in California. The fires have taken at least 10 lives, consumed tens of thousands of acres, and destroyed thousands of homes. If you are searching for a way to help victims of these fires, start here. Also disappointing? Republican elected officials disparaging the victims of the California fires and their Democratic governor for... being woke? That's what caused the fires???

Jim Santelle, former US Attorney and host of Civic Media's Saturday show Amicus: A Law Review joins us as cohost. This hour, it's all about the Supremes- that is, the Supreme Courts of Wisconsin and the nation.
First, Dom and Jim talk with Jack Kelly, statehouse reporter for Wisconsin Watch on the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Read Jack's most recent piece on the current and potential future status of the state's highest court here. With a current 4-3 liberal-conservative population and a liberal justice retiring, April's election will decide whether the current balance maintains or tips to the conservatives.
Then, Jim and Dom dive into updates on the legal tribulations of President-elect Donald Trump. The 45th and soon to be 47th POTUS seeks delays, dismissal, and denial of all wrongdoing on his part in each of the prosecutions against him. His lower court appeals now spent, Trump seeks dismissal from the Supreme Court of the United States.

Jim Santelle, former US Attorney and host of Civic Media's Saturday show Amicus: A Law Review joins us as cohost. It seems everything that was old becomes new once more, it all comes around.
Today we honor the memory of Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States. Our Jim, Mr. Santelle, recalls his experiences working in the Carter White House in the summer of 1980. Jimmy Carter leaves behind a legacy of peacemaker, dedicated civil servant, and unifier. From across the political spectrum, eulogies pour in honoring a man who- whether one agreed with his political perspectives or not- earned universal respect as a good man.
Jim and Dom then move on to imagining what may be said in eulogy for the remaining living former presidents- including the one set to return to the White House in 11 days.

Matt Rothschild joins us for as cohost for today's show.
President Joe Biden, in an interview with the New York Times, continues to claim that he could have won a rematch against Trump for the presidency. In the same interview, Biden admits that perhaps- perhaps- he would not have been able to serve through another four years. Come on man... it's time to be the bridge you promised, not a wall.
President-elect Trump- who could do with a reminder that the United States only ever has ONE President at a time and it's NOT HIM YET- continues to fight the prosecutions against him. Trump is due for sentencing in the election interference through fraudulent financial documents. Today, he seeks SCOTUS interference to delay or dismiss the case once more. In some good news (maybe?), Merrick Garland announced that he intends for Jack Smith's Special Counsel report on January 6th, 2021 to reach the public.
Civic Media Sports Reporter, Mike Clemens joins us for the final segment for one more update on the Packers' post-season prospects.

Matt Rothschild joins us for as cohost for today's show. We begin with voting rights. Once more, Wisconsin Republicans move to put a Constitutional referenda on the next ballot to 'make voting more secure' through voter ID. Of course what that will really accomplish is voter suppression. The Wisconsin Legislature seeks to change our state Constitution through referendum proposed to the citizens. But why can't citizens propose referenda in a similar manner, to be voted on through state-wide ballots? Governor Evers is proposing just that, though Legislative Republicans, lead by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos assert that the measure is DOA- dead on arrival.

Today, President-elect Trump held his first press conference since the election was certified. As expected, it was a bunch of word salad. Dom covers the lowlights for us, from Panama to Hezbollah.
In other Trump-related news, Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon has temporarily blocked Jack Smith from reporting on the classified documents case. This is completely unsurprising, as she tends to rule in favor of Republicans. Also, the wheels of justice have long since slowed to a near stop when processing Trump in general over the years. With that said, the American people deserve to know the contents of these reports. Theoretically, even Trump supporters would like to know the truth.
In still more Trump-related news (get used to it, folks), Facebook's parent company Meta plans to end its long-running fact checking program. First of all, who knew that Facebook fact checked anything? In any case, all signs point to this being a direct response to pressure from Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who seek to curtail any efforts to verify facts in favor of "free speech."

It's Tuesday, and that means we kick off the show with some Overtime with Maggie Daun! She and Dom kick around the latest sports news. If the Packers can't win the big game, Maggie hopes it'll be the Lions. After a brief discussion on music, they turn to the latest political scandal. Former WI Attorney General and conservative WI Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel is getting himself in some hot water. He claims that many of the January 6th insurrectionists were only found guilty because of where they were tried. As a lawyer, Maggie calls BS. If you don't want to be tried in a liberal district, don't commit crimes in one!
At the bottom of the hour, Dom continues the conversation about J6, focusing on the 11 Wisconsinites charged with crimes relating to the incident. President-elect Trump likes to talk about pardoning all of the allegedly wrongfully convicted peaceful protestors, but these particular rioters certainly weren't peaceful.

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, our favorite socialist and Delano Democrat, joins us for the hour.
We continue to reflect on the solemn anniversary of the January 6th, 2021 insurrection. A day when our Democracy not only stumbled, but nearly fell to a violent mob that sought to stop the peaceful transfer of presidential power. We must remember, in full detail, the horrors perpetuated by Americans against other Americans that day. The day marks a dark mirror of what America is.
Today is also the anniversary of FDR's speech declaring four core freedoms. The speech announces four ideals meant to represent the promise of America and what we can be. Harvey is our foremost expert on FDR, and he wrote the book on this speech.

Today, on January 6th, 2025, Democracy stands. Four years ago on this day, Democracy wobbled- big time. Today, Vice President Kamala Harris, who serves as President of the Senate oversaw the certification of Donald Trump's electoral victory. The process was quick, smooth, and uneventful. As it should be. We recall how it was not so four years ago when Mike Pence was charged with overseeing Joe Biden's presidential certification. Though Pence set his mind to doing just that, Trump's supporters swarmed the Capitol chanting for the Vice President of the time to be hanged.
Too many supporters of the current President-elect now talk of the insurrection on Jan 6th, 2021 as a peaceful protest. A great "meh"ification if you will. So we take time to remember what really happened that day. We take time to read and bear witness to the horrors of that day with the testimony of Aquilino Gonel, on what he experienced that day as a Capitol Police sergeant.

Jim Santelle joins us as cohost on this first Friday of the New Year. Finally, finally, we know the day when Donald Trump will face sentencing for his election interference related to fraudulent financial documents in the state of New York. Mark your calendars for one week from today, January 10th, 10 days before Trump's second inauguration. Unfortunately, we already know the likely sentence: unconditional discharge. In other words: no payments, no prison time, no probation- no penance. The only bright spot here is that after the sentencing, Donald Trump will finally hold the formal title of convicted felon under New York law.
So... now what? Now what do we do to keep involved and do something to change the course of our path? How do we move forward and get off our asses? In a world where every empire so far has fallen eventually due to lack of engagement: refuse to fall into apathy.

Jim Santelle joins us as cohost for the day to address a host of legal and political matters. First, the 119th Congress will have a Speaker, as Mike Johnson (R-LA) meets the minimum threshold to retain the position. Technically, Johnson won the vote on the first ballot. Because after three Republican Reps voted no, their colleagues kept the vote open while they managed to cajole the dissidents into switching. It's as unanimous and reflective of a mandate as Trump's popular vote win...
Then, Jim and Dom debate the merits and very obvious demerits of Merrick Garland's tenure as Attorney General.

Earl Ingram joins us to cohost this first show of the New Year. What with the new year and all, the US House of Representatives will vote on new rules to guide their new session and a new Speaker to lead the chamber tomorrow. Tune in tomorrow to see how that all goes...
In news both local and national, Ben Wikler's candidacy for Chair of the Democratic National Committee advances. Chuck Schumer, current Senate Majority leader endorsed Wikler's bid in a show of supporting a new wave of fresh leadership for the party. We are past due for a changing of the hands that lead this country. Earlier in the month, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came up short in her bid for the ranking spot on the House Oversight Committee. She lost against 74-year-old Rep. Gerry Connolly, who stated that he was due for the position.

We're bringing in the New Year with Earl Ingram as cohost. 2025 dawns with too many people firing off guns and a terror attack in New Orleans. Not to let any good tragedy go to waste, Trump and his MAGA cult jumped on the story before clear details emerged to paint the attacker in New Orleans as an illegal immigrant. The driver, who rammed a rented truck into a crowd celebrating the New Year, was a native born United States citizen. In an apparently unrelated event, a man rented a Cybertruck in Las Vegas, loaded it with explosives, and killed himself with a gunshot to explode the vehicle. Another native-born US Citizen. In addition, both men served in the United States Army, the Las Vegas driver was active duty.
Dom and Earl discuss the outrage that we need to address Trump and his cronies lies about these two events. We should be using our time to address the pressing needs of those who serve our country when they return home. So we do just that. Because these events? They're a reflection of US.

Happy New Year of 2025! What would our Mondays be without chats with our favorite Delano Democrat Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB? Certainly they would not be half so full of historical wit and wisdom! Join us as we revisit an hour's worth of our favorite talks with Harvey in 2024, full hours linked. First, we'll learn about the FDR's proposed Economic Bill of Rights. Then, how common is Common Sense? We'll move on from there and discuss getting radical. Finish the hour with a celebration of Wisconsin's proud record supporting labor rights, now somewhat restored with the overturn of Act 10.

First, some news and a PSA. Let's start with the PSA: New Years Eve is frequently a time for drinking, and also a time for driving to celebrations. Do one OR the other, never both. Next, the news. From yesterday, Trump loses his appeal to overturn the $5 Million he owes E. Jean Carrol for defaming her after sexually abusing her in the 1990s. Also, the US Treasury imposes sanctions on Russia and Iran for 2024 election interference. Yes, that's right, 2024 election interference. More on this when we come back on Thursday.
Then, it's time to address those pesky New Years' Resolutions. What's even the merit of them? Dom's not so sold, but Jess finds resolutions to be helpful and productive. Here's one opinion on the matter. Are they worth the effort and time of writing them? Only time can tell...

It's December 31st, so we're participating in the requisite look back at the year of 2024. Y'all, it's been a wild ride. We start off with Daniel Bice's article at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on the political winners and losers of the year. In classic Bice style, this list nails the key moments of this political year. Next, looking ahead. The CapTimes compiled a list of what to look out for in Wisconsin's 2025 political landscape. Some obvious, all worth a read.
Finally, we're turning to the top searched terms of 2024. This article from Axios lays out the most searched people, events, and phenomena of the year. 2024 felt chaotic for many of us, and our attention drifted far and wide throughout the year. What's up with the drones, yo???

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, joins us for a full hour!
First, as we must discuss, what legacy does Jimmy Carter leave behind? In Harvey's view, Jimmy Carter failed us as president. Afterwards, he did much better; but as president, Carter failed to strengthen democracy and the rights of workers.
Then, moving on to the simmering MAGA civil war over H1-B visas. These visas allow non-immigrant foreign nationals to work- and therefore live- in the United States legally. As part of Trump's promise to deport huge swathes of people and reduce immigration overall, these visas are coming onto the cutting board. But not all MAGAs agree. Some, like Elon Musk, used these visas to come to here initially and own or support businesses that rely on H1-B visa holders for employees. Many across the political spectrum criticize the program for suppressing wages and restricting mobility of those who carry the visas.

Guest: Harvey Kaye
At the top of the hour, we bid farewell to an icon of the 1970s. A household name who dominated the news cycle. We're talking of course about actress Linda Lavin, who passed on Sunday at the age of 87. She played the eponymous lead in the late 70's-mid 80s sitcom "Alice" as well as a slate of roles on stage and screen. And of course, we're actually primarily talking about former President Jimmy Carter, who died at the age of 100 this weekend. Mr. Carter leaves behind a legacy as marked by his abysmal approval ratings at the end of his presidency as by his remarkable dedication to human rights. Carter's legacy becomes more complicated with the interference we now know of in his final 12 months, specifically regarding the Iran Hostage negotiations.
These legacies are set. Some are still fervently building their legacies. Like Elon Musk, who is not content being the richest man in the world. He also wants to be the most influential. However, he's struggling to find his groove as he backtracks from bold stance to whimpering pleas on his own platform.

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus, a law review, joins us as cohost. As in his first term, President-Elect Trump is setting us up for a chaotic four years. We can expect to receive updates on domestic and foreign policy from unusual sources. Like late night social media rants, multi-hour rambling screeds in front of screaming fans, and troves of reposted half-formed conspiracy theories. This week's outrage bomb comes in the form of Trump's demand for Panama to give us back their prized eponymous canal, an offer to buy Greenland (not for sale, according to Denmark), and an extension for Canada to become our 51st state. While media can and should cover each of these outrages, we mustn't allow this smoke to screen us from the real issues. Trump is already failing to deliver on his campaign promises, by backpedaling and striking out at new targets.
We end the show by asking our audience to tell us something good. In this recurring segment, we highlight that the world maybe- possible- isn't entirely going to hell.

Guest: Jim Santelle
Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us to cohost today. We've got so many legal questions for Jim, starting with one raised by an opinion piece on The Hill. Can lawmakers, right now, use Section 3 of the Constitution's 14th Amendment to prevent Trump from retaking office? This clause asserts that an oath-breaking insurrectionist cannot lead the country as president. Can this go anywhere? Probably not, but it sure is an interesting thought. So what can still happen to hold Trump and his insurrectionists accountable? Well, we're still waiting on Jack Smith to release his final report. Now that this case will not go to trial, Dom hopes that Smith will refrain from any tempering in the report he may have planned for a trial case.
Plus, Congress seems unprepared to select a new Speaker for the new session. If Congress does not have a Speaker, they cannot legally do- well- anything. Including

Earl Ingram joins Dom and Jess P-S to cohost for the day. For the first time in decades, Christmas and Hanukah share a calendar day. PLUS, the first day of Hanukah (the first night this year was yesterday, December 25th) lines up with the first day of Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa, the newest holiday of the bunch, is a week-long celebration of African-American history, culture, and community, established in 1966. Regardless of the name of the holiday you may celebrate, all of these and many more of the more than a dozen winter holidays focus on cherishing peace and love amongst humans.
Turning to less joyful news, President-elect Trump has a long list for his Day 1 priorirites. And a large majority of Americans are so exhausted by all this crap that they've tuned out.

Happy holidays everyone! Earl Ingram cohosts today with Dom as we reflect on Christmas and the start of Hanukah. It seems so simple to wish our fellow humans a happy holiday season. President Biden managed it, with a unifying message about what we all share. President-elect Trump, however, chose to share a very different holiday message. Here's a little compare-and-contrast between the two and historic Presidential holiday messages. From bizarre threats to reclaim the Panama Canal to invitations for Canada to become our 51st United State to offers (threats?) to buy Greenland, Trump's Christmas message is a doozy.
Regardless of the messaging you choose and the holidays you'll be celebrating, we wish you much happiness and peace in these final days of 2024. May light always triumph, and may we share in love this season.

Congress passed a Continuing Resolution to keep the federal government open, now it heads to the Senate. Hopefully, that'll pass the Senate, Biden will sign it before midnight, and the lights'll stay on! It's worth mentioning that yesterday the House had a bipartisan bill that looked ready to pass with strong support. That is, until an unelected man- the richest one in the world- ordered it taken out back and put down. To do this, Musk wrote over 100 posts, laden with lies, on X lambasting the bill and threatening Republican legislators who would vote for the original bill with a primary.
At the end of the hour, we're trying something new: ending it all with a little light. Jess P-S and Dom want to hear what's good, what's keeping you going. We'll keep this as a recurring segment to share what makes life worth living!

As Congress heads into Plan C to avoid a federal government shutdown, we're left wondering how "efficient" Musk's curveball to kill the bipartisan funding bill is. And in that line, who the hell elected this guy? He's the world's richest man, and isn't accountable to anyone but his own pocketbook. Now he's poised to be Shadow President of the United States in the incoming chaos machine masquerading as an administration.

Dom's back! Earl Ingram joins to cohost today.
Moving on from the local news of the last hour as we discussed developments in the ALCS shooting, Dom and Earl look to national governance. The federal government has, from the time this airs and posts, about 30 hours to avoid a shutdown. Though the House had a bipartisan deal at the beginning of the day that seemed likely to pass, President-elect Trump and incoming shadow president Elon Musk demanded a new bill. They heavily pressured Congress to reject the bipartisan bill in order to suspend the debt limit, a strange move for an incoming administration supposedly obsessed with efficiency. Musk's involvement here is leading us to beg the question: who the hell elected this guy???

Dom's back, rested, and ready to radio! Earl Ingram joins to cohost.
While Dom was away, Wisconsin featured in the national news- and not for the things that make our state so wonderful like cranberries and scenery. No, our great state was in the national news because of yet another school shooting. Dom checks in on the Abundant Life Christian School shooting, what we know about the shooter, and most importantly- what we do now. What changes do we need to see to prevent more children from the deep trauma of gun violence in our places of learning? This school shooting was only the latest of 971 this year according to the Gun Violence Archive. 2024 has seen nearly 1000 school shootings. How many will it take for legislators to admit it's too much?
As we process through the day after yet another mass school shooting, many of us are looking for ways to help. One path is to donate to help the community. Among many options, United Way of Dane County has organized a fundraiser you can contribute to here.

If you are searching for a way to help those affected by the shooting, one path is to donate to help the community.

We end the show with Wisconsin Poet Laureate, Nick Gulig. He talks with us about how to return to ourselves through poetry. How can we navigate the 'cacophony of ailments' that plague the MAGA cult and the poisonous narcissism of Trump?

The three begin with a somber reflection on the Abundant Life Christian School mass shooting on Monday. Then, they move into where the Democratic party needs to move to retain voters and attract new demographics.
At the bottom of the hour, Farmer Hans Breitenmoser joins Matt and Angela for a talk on representation and immigration. What lessons did we learn from the fight for fairer maps in Wisconsin? And what lessons do we need to learn in this fight over immigration that President-elect Trump is waging?

After continuing to address this moment and what our focus should be in the aftermath of another mass shooting, we move to proficiency. What does it mean for a student to be proficient in a subject? Is "proficient" even a reasonable or useful metric? Or is it just a marketing scheme? The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published a piece on Wisconsin's adjustment of "proficient" benchmarks on standardized testing. Tim wrote a response, give it a read, it's worth it!

Jimmie Kaska, Sports Director for Civic Media guest hosts today. In the first hour, we covered the shocking, tragic mass gun violence in Madison at the Abundant Love Christian School.
In this hour, Jimmie talks gas, tariffs, and local elections. First, Patrick De Haan, analyst for GasBuddy, joins Jimmie to talk about gas prices. Just last month, an oil spill from Enbridge Line 6 raised concerns over rising prices for gasoline. Patrick assures us that the amount of oil that spilled is a fraction of a percent of what the line carries each day, so our biggest concern won't be prices. The spill does however bring further attention to the environmental risks and damages these lines present, which we covered last week. Then, Jimmie talks with Dan Rossmiller, Executive Director, of Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WSAB). It's not too late to run for school board! Jimmie and Dan discuss what you need to get on your local ballot and get elected!

Today, Wisconsin reels from another school mass shooting. Late this morning, a student at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison allegedly opened fire on students and teachers. As of posting, three people- the alleged shooter, another student, and a teacher- have died. Madison, and the entire state, is left shaken and grappling. If you or a loved one find yourself struggling with urgent mental health needs, please use the toll free phone number 988.
At the bottom of the hour, Jimmie talks with Mike Shaw, Founder and Director of The Culver's Isthmus Bowl. The Isthmus Bowl is special- not only because it's sponsored by Culvers- for providing additional Bowl opportunities for student athletes.

Catch up on this week's best segments!
First, from Monday's second hour, a conversation with our favorite DELANO DEMOCRAT (Dom's making it a thing), Harvey Kaye. What do Democrats need to do to start winning again?
Next, revisiting Tuesday's second hour where we covered the 10 new charges levied against Wisconsin's fake electors. We also spent significant time covering this subject on Thursday with Jim Santelle. Listen to him disagree with Dom's glee over the new charges during our second hour with Jim.
Speaking of Jim Santelle, come back to our first hour with him on Thursday for the next segment. Did undercover FBI agents instigate the January 6th, 2021 assault on the Capitol?
Finally, wrap up with a bit of poetry as we come back to our second hour with Matt Rothschild on Wednesday. Take a few minutes to appreciate Nikki Giovanni's revolutionary life and words.
Guests: Jim Santelle, Matt Rothschild, Harvey Kaye
Jimmie Kaska, Sports Director for Civic Media, guest hosts today. In this hour, it's all about schools and sports in Wisconsin.
First, Jimmie talks with Dr. Jamie Nutter, District 3 Administrator for Cooperative Education Services Agency- CESA 3. CESA seeks creative partnerships among schools and between schools and businesses to meet the needs of each school with the resources surrounding it. After a year of record-setting school referenda, both in terms of money sought and money approved, Jimmie asks Dr. Nutter: What can we be doing proactively to meet schools' needs?
At the bottom of the hour, Jimmie talks with Jesse Norris, head coach for Edgewood High School's football team. The two discuss Jesse's new proposal to revamp Wisconsin's football playoff qualification system. There's a lot of math involved, but it makes some sense!

Jimmie Kaska, Civic Media's Sports Director guest hosts for the day. We start the hour with some lighthearted talk on the time of year. Then, it's time for some money talk. Wisconsin has a huge surplus, what should be done with it. What would you think of a cheese mouse in every city, town, and village?
Civic Media northwest news chief James Kelly joins us at the bottom of the hour to discuss the Enbridge Energy Line 5, an aging and environmentally dangerous pipeline that crosses over 17,000 miles between Canada and America. The pipeline faces legal action in Wisconsin. It also features at the heart of this documentary covering the Bad River Band's fight for sovereignty of their land and safety of their natural resources, which the pipeline seriously threatens.

Jim Santelle cohosts today. Continuing the conversation from last hour, Dom and Jim address the additional 10 charges levied against Wisconsin's slate of fake electors. While many see these additional 10 charges as justice long delayed finally reaching a mark, Jim takes a different view. The two then move to discussing Presidential pardons. Today, President Joe Biden announced pardons 39 people and commuted the sentences of another 1500, a one-day record. In addition to these 1500 commutations and pardons, Biden is reportedly considering preemptive pardons for those who Trump threatens with legal persecution.

Jim Santelle cohosts today to tackle trending legal news. Dom and Jim begin the show addressing Christopher Wray's impending resignation at the end of the Biden administration. Is this the right move to preserve the independence of the FBI and DoJ from the White House? Probably, almost certainly, definitely not. At the bottom of the hour, the two address the report today that no undercover FBI agents participated in the January 6th, 2021 attack on the Capitol. Yet again, no one forced or coerced the rioters to riot. Dom and Jim return to Wisconsin news at the very end of the hour to preview next episode's coverage of the additional charges levied against Wisconsin's fake 2020 electors.

Matt Rothschild cohosts today. Starting the hour, some sports talk. Political news if often overwhelming, so we each have ways to decompress. Dom's choice is usually to watch a game. However, Dom found politics creeping in last night as he noticed referees wearing Emirates' badges on their uniforms. Doing as Dom does, he went to the Google to see what was up, and found that the Emirates were named the official airline partner of the NBA. This led to further Googling, where Dom learned that the 2034 World Cup will be held in Saudi Arabia. Both the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have unsavory records on human rights. These events appear to be the latest in "sportswashing".
At the bottom of the hour, we bring updates on the murder of Brian Thompson, who was CEO of United Healthcare.
We finish the show with a reflection on the life of Nikki Giovanni, an American poet, activist, and author who created extensively on themes of Black joy and social justice. For an enlightening experience, watch this conversation between Nikki Giovanni and James Baldwin.

Guest: Matt Rothschild
Matt Rothschild cohosts today. This hour, we're covering current FBI Director Christopher Wray's announcement that he plans to step down from the position in January before Trump takes office. Wray's announcement is the latest act of obedience in advance, in direct contrast to Timothy Snyder's urging to resist fascism. If he had an iota of backbone, Wray could have held his position- which lasts 10 years to keep the FBI independent from overt politics- instead of resigning so Trump can install Kash Patel.

As we covered in our show yesterday, Wisconsin governor Tony Evers announced his plans to oppose Trump's mass deportation efforts in our state. Trump's also declared his desire and intent to end birthright citizenship- the right of every person born in the United States or its territories to US citizenship. We discuss the obstacles that will stand in his way to do so.
And here's an option: let's push our norms. Trump and his cronies have been pushing our norms towards division, fear, and hatred for a decade now. What if we did something extremely radical and pushed them towards humanism. In his final weeks in office, Biden could do just that with one radical action: issue blanket pardons for all undocumented immigrants in the country.

Maggie Daun sticks around for some overtime to discuss 10 new charges leveled against Wisconsin's 2020 fraudulent electors. Attorney General Josh Kaul announced these new 10 new felony charges today against defendants Kenneth Chesebro, Jim Troupis, and Mike Roman. Interestingly, the new charges allege that these three sought to defraud Republican electors in their scheme to throw out Wisconsin's electoral votes. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of 6 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. We'll follow this story and bring updates as they emerge.

Our favorite Delano Democrat (FDR Democrat, Dom's trying it out), and favorite socialist, Harvey Kaye joins us. Harvey is Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and an avid labor advocate. He sees a path for Democrats to start winning races again, but it will require inviting labor back to the table with a hearty welcome. Critical issues face Americans today that require government intervention. Issues like record wealth inequality. And issues like a healthcare system that does NOT work for the majority of people.

Governor Evers announced his opposition to President-elect Trump's mass deportation using the states' National Guards. Trump went on NBC's Meet the Press this weekend to- among other things- reaffirm his support for mass deportations, by whatever means necessary. Dom began dissecting Trump's comments here with Maggie Daun during her second hour today. As Dom and Jess discuss with our callers, nearly all of us are immigrants or the children of immigrants to this country. And the ramifications of mass deportation, beyond the sheer human misery, will be felt in every corner of our lives.

To help kick off today's second hour, guest host Matt Rothschild is joined by State Senator-elect Jodi Habush Sinykin! She speaks on the effectiveness of going door-to-door in today's modern world. She also relives her bittersweet emotions from election night between her own win and Harris's loss.
After a brief discussion on the cowardice of shows like Morning Joe, Matt welcomes another Matt to talk about some lighter topics. Matt Reetz, Executive Director of the Southwestern Wisconsin Bird Alliance, brings us into the weekend! Matt and Matt discuss how they discovered the joys of birdwatching and what kinds of work the SWBA does. If you're interested in learning about birds and helping out, there are a ton of citizen science opportunities in our state! Visit swibirds.org to learn more.

Dom has the day off, so our favorite birdwatcher Matt Rothschild is in the guest host chair! After President Biden pardoned his son Hunter, Americans are wondering whether he will issue mass pardons to potential targets of the incoming Trump administration. Matt takes your calls on whether you think it's a good idea.
At the bottom of the hour, Matt is joined by Jeff Mandell, President and General Counsel of Law Forward. Law Forward is a nonprofit law firm dedicated to protecting democracy in our state, and they have been instrumental in getting fairer maps. Most recently, they helped lead the push to throw out Act 10. Jeff explains the alleged goals of Act 10, detailing why its language is illogical and betrays the bill's partisan motives. Instead of a clear delineation between "general" and "public safety" workers, Act 10 contains arbitrary definitions that line up with Scott Walker's supporters at the time it was passed. Matt also asks Jeff about Law Forward's other accomplishments over the last several years.

Earl Ingram cohosts for the day with Dom. The two wrap their conversation from the first hour on how they each became Detroit Lions' fans. Then it's on to politics, starting with getting Earl's thoughts on President Biden pardoning his son Hunter. Dom and Jess wrestled with the pardon early this week. Now, a few days later, we're still working through whether it was right or wrong. After that, Dom and Earl move on to the Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE), proposed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. These two billionaires claim that they'll be able to cut $2 TRILLION from the budget. The American people deserve more efficiency. But this is a joke.

Earl Ingram cohosts for the day with Dom. Starting the show off on the lighter side, Dom and Earl discuss the merits and shortcomings of holiday gifts. For some, it's an opportunity to demonstrate their affections. For many, gift giving becomes a heavy burden on their time and resources. So what are some alternatives? Can't we all just get together and enjoy each other's company? We think so!

Today, the Supreme Court of the United States heard arguments on the constitutionality of a Tennessee law that bans all gender-affirming medication and procedures for transgender minors. As a note, cisgender minors can still access gender affirming care. This disparity led the ACLU to file their lawsuit against Tennessee, which has now escalated to our highest court. Chase Strangio, one of the lawyers representing three Tennessee families who have struggled under the repressive law- himself transgender- issued an op-ed on the matter that we recommend for a read.
In other news today, the CEO of United Healthcare was murdered. With details hazy, there's too much room for speculation.

Matt Rothschild cohosts for the day. First up, checking in on President-elect Trump's cabinet and senior leadership picks. As pressure mounts on Pete Hegseth for sexual and drunken misconduct and mismanagement of two veterans' affairs organizations, his nomination for Secretary of Defense sways. Pete came to his own defense in a Wall Street Journal editorial, while it seems Trump is now considering another Florida man for the position.
Then we turn our attention to the Democratic National Committee. Wisconsin Dems Chair, Ben Wikler, announced this week his intent to seek the top leadership spot with the DNC. Dom, Matt, and Jess all think he'd be swell, though we'd miss him in Wisconsin.

Dr Susan Webb Yackee, Director of the La Follette School of Public Affairs and Professor at UW-Madison, joins us for a conversation on overcoming divisiveness. Dom and Jess read Susan's piece in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel last month on civil discourse and it really resonated with us. Susan joins us today to talk about developing critical civil discourse skills. It starts with curiosity and humility.
Dom and Jess wrap the hour with a check in on Trump's New York felony fraud case. Predictably, the President-elect seeks dismissal using the precedent of Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter. Plus, a new measure of time! No longer is Gaetz the running shortest nominee for Trump, now it's a Chronister (3 days), for Trump's DEA nominee.

Today, we woke to startling news that South Korea's president declared martial law - an ominous portent for what Trump may try should he not get his way in a second administration. Maggie Daun joins Dom for weekly overtime to discuss South Korea and Trump's senior leadership picks. Trump tapped Fox host Pete Hegseth to lead the DoD and Kash Patel for FBI. The two bring resumes that differ in their unsuitability for their nominations: Hegseth for sexual assault, drunken disorderly conduct, and incompetent leadership; Patel for hawking merchandise capitalizing on conspiracy theories, including through children's books.

Our favorite socialist and FDR Democrat (yes you can be both!) Harvey Kaye, joins us. Harvey is Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and a great democratic thinker. With President-elect Trump in line to be inaugurated on January 20th, it's time for Democrats to get their acts together. In Wisconsin, we now see some benefits of banding together in solidarity for democracy and labor rights. A Dane County Judge today ruled Act 10, which devastated public sector organizations, unconstitutional. For over a decade, Act 10 hamstrung unions and limited worker's rights in this state. Now, a chance to start again.
At the bottom of the hour, we return to the matters of pardons and presidential authority. Yes, Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter over the weekend. We look back on some of Trump's late-term pardons of close allies such as Paul Manafort and Roger Stone.

Over the weekend, Joe Biden used his executive authority to pardon his son Hunter. After pledging over and over and over and over again not to do so. Dom and Jess have complicated feelings on it. So do our callers, so we process it together.

Jess P-S, Dom's producer, takes the wheel today, with Aaron Zommers, Civic Media Senior Producer as cohost.
In this hour, in addition to continuing to share a bit of the behind the scenes of radio production, Jess and Aaron discuss one of their favorite things: dungeons. And also dragons. D&D is an incredible game system for interactive storytelling, with its origin in our very own Wisconsin! For this year's Small Business Saturday, we recommend checking out your local small game stores! Wisconsin has a plethora of local stores that sell everything you need to get started with tabletop gaming AND these same stores often host gaming events!

For the first half hour, Dom and Jess discuss the Nobel Prize. There's so much in this world that makes us see the worst in humanity. How good it can be to acknowledge the good we work towards!
Then, we revisit our talk with farmer Hans Breitenmoser from Tuesday. If you missed that episode, check out the second hour as well, when we field calls and dig further into Wisconsin farming.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! For this hour, politics will wait, while Dom and Jess cover something a little different. As we enter this season of holidays, what does gratitude do for us, mentally and physically? And how do we practice and improve our experience of gratitude? One thing is certain- Dom and Jess are enormously grateful for each and every one of you lovelies!

John Peterson and Gordy Young, of John and Gordy in the Morning on WMDX 6-8am Monday-Friday, lead the show today. They bring their morning show flare to the evening, covering Trump's promise to enact enormous tariffs. Then, we welcome BustED Pencil's Dr. Tim Slekar to the show for a talk on why so many people voted both FOR their public schools and for Donald Trump's presidency. Despite Trump's promise to enact universal vouchers, which punch huge holes in public school funds.

Did you know that Dom worked on a farm when he was in high school? Well, he did. And he learned a hell of a lot from those experiences. Picking up from our conversation with Farmer Hans in the first hour, we dig into what it would actually look like to lose all the migrant workers whose documentation might not be 100% accurate.

First, it's OT w/MD as Maggie Daun sticks around for a half hour to chat legal matters with Dom. This week, we're talking about Robin Vos and his comments on Michael Gabelman, and tariffs. Just today, Trump announced- via social media- his plan to enact a 25% tariff on imported goods from Mexico and Canada.
Then, remember last week when Dom went off about how Trump's planned deportations would devastate Wisconsin's dairy industry? Well, the farmer quoted heavily in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel piece Dom used as his anchor reached out to us for a chat. Hans Brietenmoser joins us to clear the record regarding his political views. He and Dom launch into a conversation on the ramifications of right-wing disinformation in rural areas. Many of Hans' conservative friends don't even realize who Trump intends to deport and what it will do to their industry.

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite socialist joins us for a half hour. It's another gloomy day here for justice as Jack Smith files to DISMISS both federal cases against Donald Trump. Will we ever see justice for our country? And what can we do to move on from here?
To start, Harvey strongly advocates for Democrats to undergo some critical self-evaluation leading us back to FDR style economic policies. Harvey is an expert on the matter, and you can read his work in article OR COMIC form. In odd news, Trump's pick for Secretary of Labor appears to be extremely labor-friendly. Could this actually help American workers? Or is it a ploy to peel off working class voters from Democrats? By the way, if you go ahead and follow Harvey's Bluesky with that link and drop him a note saying you heard him on The Dom Salvia Show, he'll follow you back!

Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos stopped by WISN's UpFront on Sunday. Their conversation covered Vos' plans for the next budget and how little he plans to give to education, Vos' hopes that Michael Gableman is disbarred and prevented from practicing law ever again, and how he turned into such a die-hard Trump supporter. In his mile a minute ramble, Vos claims that the enormous spate of school referenda on ballots across the state prove a lack of need for education funding reform. Because... nearly a third of districts needing operational funds through referenda shows that everything is working splendidly...

Texas joins Oklahoma and Louisiana in pushing Christian faith and traditions in public schools. Just today, Texas' education board approved a Bible-based curriculum, with a $40/student cash incentive for schools to adopt it. Not everyone in Texas' Christian communities is on board. Religious studies professor at Southern Methodist University Mark Chancey firmly opposes the curriculum. He says the program overemphasizes Christianity and teaches in a literal fashion, rather than encouraging religious and cultural literacy. Dom and Jess get into a spirited discussion and debate over the role of religion and how it should be taught.
Finally, a bit of light. Trump may claim a sweeping mandate, but the voters just didn't give him one.

In New York, Judge Juan Merchan suspends sentencing for Trump’s 34 felony counts in New York. Closer to home, Hovde earned himself a "pants on fire" rating for his election claims as he conceded the Senate race to Tammy Baldwin. On the matter of militarizing police and using them against political opponents, Dom again recounts being unconstitutionally arrested in the Walker years.
Back to the national stage. So Gaetz is out, and Pam Bondi is in. Just who is Pam Bondi? Well, she's a Trump loyalist and a 2020-election denier, so she's perfect for the nation's chief law enforcement officer.

Jim Santelle cohosts today to cover legal matters in the news with Dom. First up, an update on Trump's pending cases. In New York, Judge Juan Merchan weighs whether to freeze or dismiss the case against Trump. To refresh your memories, this is the case in which President-elect Trump has already been CONVICTED on 34 felony counts for financial crimes.
And what about that Oklahoma case with Ryan Walters mandating Bibles in every classroom? Is that legally sound? Well, shockingly, no. No, it's not.

Jim Santelle cohosting today as a new unit of time just dropped! You can now measure time by 8-day units as a "Gaetz". This, of course, in honor of the length of Matt Gaetz' time as nominee for Attorney General of the United States. Today, just 8 short days after being named as Trump's nominee for the position, Gaetz' withdrew his name from consideration.
So who will Trump pick next to lead the Department of Justice? Perhaps a former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice with 10 counts of violations of the state's attorney code of conduct? As Jim says in regard to the complain filed against Mike Gableman here, "everything is wrong about this."

Matt Rothschild cohosting with Dom today. They dig into Trump's Cabinet picks. On Tuesday, Massachusetts Representative Jim McGovern delivered a scathing screed against his "Republican friends" who plan to obey Trump in this new administration. Some Republicans are currently signaling they won't be in lockstep with Trump. Like Nikki Haley, who let loose with her criticism of Trump's Cabinet picks. Seriously, Representative McGovern put it best, these nominations are beyond insane!

Matt Rothschild cohosts with Dom today. First, a survey of Trump's nominations for Cabinet. This shouldn't be surprising, but it's still rattling: four of his nominations so far are accused of sexual abuse.
Earl Ingram joins us for a segment to talk about the role racism played in the 2024 Presidential election. He sees this election as a serious rollback of social progress. And he's right. The incoming administration promises to oppose every effort to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters decreed that every public school classroom needs to have a bible. And not just any bible. The specifications he listed point to one glitzy faux-leather bound tome in particular: the Lee Greenwood/Trump Bible. How will this help Oklahoma dig itself out of their spot at 48th in the nation for education? Walters struggled to defend his position on CNN, and Dom and Jess don't think it'll do a whole hell of a lot. But it gives them a lot to talk about with our audience.

First, it's Overtime with Maggie Daun! Dom and Maggie dig into Michael Gableman, former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice. Gableman faces a disciplinary filing for violating... well, just about every ethics standard our state has. Then, the two address South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace's new measure to ban transgender people from using appropriate restrooms. The measure is a direct attack on Representative-Elect Sarah McBride, who will be the first openly transgender person to serve in Congress.
Then, Dom's in a mood. He's mad about MSNBC Morning Joe hosts Joe and Mika's travel down to Mar-a-Lago to meet privately with Trump. For all their claims that this was a trip to open up lines of communication for the press, many- Dom included- see it as blatant appeasement of the man they've been correctly calling a threat to democracy for YEARS. Dom shares his own experiences being targeted for being part of the press.

John Nichols of The Cap Times and The Nation joins Dom to break down the weird reality we live in. Especially the 2024 election. First, Hovde finally conceded the Senate race to Tammy Baldwin, as we covered in the first hour. Then, what happened in the presidential race? It sure felt like an ass-whoopin. But looking at some numbers, it appears not to be quite so dramatic a "mandate" for Trump, as he received fewer than 50% of ballots cast. Finally, what's going on with the DNC and all these staff layoffs?
In the last half hour, Dom covers an update on Trump's promise to conduct mass deportations. As reported today, and as has been shouted by anyone who knows half a damn, mass deportations would devastate Wisconsin's dairy business. And as we're once more learning about policy decisions from social media posts, Trump plans to use the military to carry out the mass deportations.

Then our favorite socialist joins us. Harvey J. Kaye is Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. And he thinks we should be embracing getting more radical. Specifically, let's be economically radical. Harvey says he hopes he never hears another Democratic candidate calling themselves a capitalist, rather he wants them to align with FDR's Democratic party.

What a week! Catch up on our best segments as we process our electoral bruises and look to what's next.
First, what the hell happened last week??? From Monday's second hour, we catch up with our friend and favorite Democratic Socialist, Harvey Kaye. Did the Democrats forget to be the party that COMBATS inequality?
Then, from Tuesday's first hour, a chat with Maggie Daun as she works a bit of overtime. Her analysis of the election: too many people rightly feeling existential angst. And we shouldn't have to live in that.
Looking ahead with a bit of dread, listen to part of Wednesday's first hour as Dom talks with Dr. Tim Slekar of Civic Media's BustED Pencils. What do we need to watch for from this incoming administration on education? Well, a whole hell of a lot, and nothing at all...
Finally, back to Tuesday's first hour for Dan Shafer- of The Recombobulation Area- shares his top 10 takeaways from the election. Find Dan at his substack or Civic Media podcast!

Jim Santelle cohosts for the day.
In the 9 days since being called the winner of the Presidential election, Donald Trump's nominations for Cabinet hit new lows for qualification. Among them, Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. Yes, that Matt Gaetz who has been under House investigation for sex trafficking, among other allegations. The same Matt Gaetz who called for the abolishment of the DoJ, which he would lead as AG.

Jim Santelle cohosts for the day.
Amidst all the chaos, there's some good news. The people, despite the enormously hot temperature of national politics, want civility. And at a townhall event in La Follette, WI, 400 Wisconsinites practiced it.
In all of this week's finger pointing of who to blame for Trump's electoral win, we miss the biggest target. The people who voted for Trump. Because they believed his lies. Because they were hurting economically and wanted change. Because they were ignorant. And that's just the worst excuse of all.

Democratic political advisor and strategist Joe Zepecki joins Dom and Earl for a half hour digging into what the hell happened. Was it an uninformed public? A lack of focus on the reality of people feeling left behind by the economy? What about the mood that the Harris-Walz ticket embraced? Was their joy just too out of touch in a change era? And what in the name of Democracy do we do now?
Well, we get involved. Be part of the civic discourse. Engage, ask questions, share your opinions with your elected officials. Hold them accountable for representing YOU.

Earl Ingram cohosts for the day with Dom. Dom and Earl continue to discuss together and with our audience what led us here, with President-Elect Trump. Is it wrong to be woke? Hell nah!
Dom and Earl begin to discuss Trump's newest picks to fill his Cabinet. They're... wild. From anti-vaxxer RFK for Health and Human Services to walking scandal Matt Gaetz for head of the Department of Justice.

In today's second hour, Matt Rothschild sticks with Dom to cover the rest of Donald Trump's cabinet nominations that we know so far. Also, even though Trump hasn't started his second term, he's hinting to House Republicans that he may run for a third. Shocker. It's almost like he told us that this was exactly the kind of nonsense he'd try to pull. All of this chaos begs the question: can we build back to a functional democracy without allowing Trump to enact Project 2025? Is it possible to shake sense back into America while bypassing the likely bloodshed, be it metaphorical or literal? These are questions we don't yet have the answers to.

Guest: Matt Rothschild
Our friend Matt Rothschild joins Dom today to break some news: Matt Gaetz has been nominated as Trump's Attorney General pick! He is only the latest unserious pick for a position he is wholly unqualified for.
At the bottom of the hour, Dr. Tim Slekar of BustED Pencils joins us to talk about what the future may look like without the Department of Education. Education is the bedrock of democracy, and if the Trump administration manages to cripple or eliminate this department, the consequences may be dire.

Since last Tuesday around 11pm, Dom and Jess have, like so many Americans, wrestled with a question. How in the hell did we get here? Among the many, many, MANY opinions swirling around: this is simply who we are. Dom and Jess were both struck by Elie Mystal's article on Friday in The Nation. Elie's piece, "There's no denying it anymore: Trump is not a fluke- he is America," has been rattling around in both our brains since. So Dom reads it out loud for all of you.

It's Tuesday's first hour, so we've got Overtime with Maggie Daun! Maggie sticks around for a bonus half hour with Dom after her 2-4pm show to talk about what the hell happened last week Tuesday. In short, people were feeling deep existential angst, especially around the economy, and it turned out votes. Plus, the Wisconsin Supreme Court is hearing arguments regarding our current abortion law- from 1849. Maggie and Dom listen and react to some of justices' demonstrations of justified fury for the antiquated law.
Then, Dan Shafer- Civic Media Political Editor and creator of The Recombobulation Area- joins us for more analysis. Dan shares his top 10 takeaways from the election, and brings an update on Eric Hovde's refusal to concede the Senate race to Tammy Baldwin.

Harvey J. Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, joins Dom to break down what the hell happened on Tuesday. Did Democrats abandon the working class people whose votes they needed as argued by Bernie Sanders? Or did Harris' roadtripping with Liz Cheney hurt more than it helped? And more crucial than any of these questions: what do we do now? How does the Democratic party reorganize and act to protect the groups who will be vulnerable to attack and further marginalization in this new administration?

Jodi Habush Sinykin, Senator-Elect for Wisconsin District 8, joins Dom to talk about what's next. With fairer maps reducing the Republican advantage in the district from 12 points to 6, Jodi won a narrow victory to bring much improved representation to the people of SD-8. She's focused on what we do now to improve the lives of Wisconsinites, starting with building community.
In the news today regarding Wisconsin, our Supreme Court is hearing arguments on our current abortion law from 1849. In the news regarding our country, we elected a monster and we're still grappling with that.

For this week's best-of, we're revisiting the second hour of Thursday's show: Make Every Day Count.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have two months and change remaining in their administration. So what should they do with this time? What guardrails can they install in these final weeks to protect our republic from the incoming group. Jim Santelle brings legal guidance for what reasonable steps our current administration could take. He also provides some clarity on the pending cases against President-elect Trump, who will face sentencing in just under three weeks. Unless it all gets thrown out...
In addition, we continue to process the loss of the presidency with our audience.

Earl Ingram cohosts for the day with Dom. We continue our post-mortem of the 2024 Presidential election with our callers. In this election, disinformation reigned and white male fragility spurred too many to action. So what do we do now? How do we enact safeguards for our constitution, for this country that we love? And how do we talk to the people in our circles who did this to us? Pressingly, is this the truest form of America revealed?

To everyone who voted for Trump: what does a successful Trump presidency look like? What are your top priorities? And how will you respond if AND WHEN Trump fails you again? How will you hold him accountable for it all?
With Earl Ingram as cohost, Dom and our callers dig into how we got here. How did disinformation and hatred win the election for Trump? Well, in too many ways. As some of our callers demonstrate, a little disinformation and a little white male fragility goes a LONG way.

As Kamala Harris said in her concession speech today: The fight for our country is always worth it. Always. With cohost Matt Rothschild, we continue to make space for our experiences. We're all feeling a lot right now. We take the time to listen to Harris' full concession speech. In it, she shares a message of hope. Of continuing the good fight. A message of resilience and perseverance. In conceding, she presents a graceful, defiant, healing presence. And she is all of those things.
Matt brings us some wisdom from Tim Snyder's pamphlet On Tyranny. You can read a shortened version of the entire pamphlet here.

We will not face those challenges alone.

Alex Lasry, member of the Democratic National Committee joins us for his reflections on these last days of the campaign. Dom and Alex chop up the incredible Wisconsin Dems ground game this cycle. And they're not done yet. If you've got anything left in the tank, you can throw in some last minute volunteering their way here.
In their closing arguments, the two candidates for President differ vastly. Harris visited a church on Sunday to deliver a message of hope and unity. Trump railed against his long list of enemies and said he shouldn't have left the White House after losing the 2020 election.

We are NEARLY there! Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler joins us for a pre-election check-in. Early voting numbers look great- around the country over 75 million people have already fulfilled their civic obligation. In Wisconsin, polling places report double-digit percentages of people who registered and then voted. People are engaged, and the American voters are ready to Turn. The. Page.
On that note, we are optimistic- perhaps nauseously so- of Harris' victory tomorrow. Dom predicts a 10-point popular vote swamping of Trump. Producer Jess carries more anxiety about it, but what we're hearing sounds really good.

Jim Santelle, former US Attorney and host of the Civic Media Saturday radio show Amicus, joins Dom for the day. In this hour, Jim and Dom discuss Trump's statement last night that Liz Cheney should have guns pointed at her face. It's alarming to say the least, and the latest in a string of escalating violent rhetoric. The two also discuss Trump's Project 2025 plans to purge civil servants who are not loyal to his administration, should he be re-elected. Jim strongly supports civil service. In fact, he advocates for us all to serve a bit of time working for the public.

In media news today, right-wing radio hosts are ALREADY pushing lies of illegal voting in the presidential election. Yes, that's correct, before any votes have been counted, cries of fraud abound. On what facts do these conservative hosts base their assessment? None whatsoever.
Dan Shafer, Civic Media's political editor, comes on to dig into the state of the election. He and Dom continue to dig into the final Marquette Law Poll that dropped just yesterday.

Representative Hong encourages us to use that energy and do something. Call and text your loved ones, make a plan to vote, and do what you can to protect our democracy.
In breaking news today, SCOTUS ruled today in favor of systemic voter purging in Virginia. Today's news also brings more fallout from the Madison Square Garden rally from Trump. More Republicans attempt to distance themselves from Trump as Nikki Haley berates the party for the rally. And, well Biden stuck his foot in his mouth.

Kamala Harris delivered her closing arguments for why voters should choose her as the next President of the United States. She chose the Ellipse in Washington, DC for this address. You may recall that this is the same spot where, nearly four years ago, Donald Trump used his pulpit to incite a violent mob to attack the Capitol. Harris' closing remarks differ widely from Trump's this past Sunday at Madison Square Garden. Rather than a message stewed in hatred, fear, and divisiveness, Harris shared her plan to lead and unite this country.
Greg Palast, investigative reporter and lawyer, joins Dom and Matt to talk about voter suppression. Greg's new film, Vigilantes Inc, explores the explosion of highly organized non-governmental voter suppression efforts in America over the past years.

Some breaking news in this hour and digging into Michelle Obama's speech in Kalamazoo, MI on Sunday.
First, the news. The US Supreme Court rejected RFK Jr.'s request to be removed from ballots ahead of the general election. This decision upsets many conservatives who see RFK's continued ballot presence as a detractor from Trump. Next, in San Francisco, the man who attacked Paul Pelosi- Nancy's husband- was sentenced to life in prison.
And then, after powering through our lima beans, we get to our cupcake treats. On Sunday, former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama delivered a powerful stump speech in support of Kamala Harris. We strongly recommend watching the whole speech.

First up, it's overtime with Maggie Daun! Today's topic is a new report out of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Senate candidate Eric Hovde's business. Daniel Bice reports that Hovde's bank has artificially inflated reviews on a site for people to rate their employers.
Next, Dom checks in with Madison-based firebrand, political consultant, executive director of One Wisconsin Now, Gemini, and friend Scot Ross. In this final stretch, we're seeing the Trump campaign at its most genuine and most terrible. With constant punching down and no selling points for their candidate, we struggle to comprehend the close polling we're seeing.

First a few bitter morsels showing why a vote for Kamala Harris is so very critical. And then some rewarding cupcakes showcasing why voting for Harris will be so, so very sweet.
Trump chose to host his campaign's closing rally at Madison Square Garden, in New York City. For many, the rally's rhetoric raised an ugly specter of a 1939 Nazi rally in the same location.
It's not ALL doom, gloom, and hatred though! We DO have an extremely qualified and capable person running for this country's highest office. In the final days of her campaign, Kamala Harris continues to showcase exactly the kind of steady leadership that will steer our country well.

We're in the final stretch of the presidential election. Yesterday, the Trump campaign presented their closing argument. They chose to do this in the deeply competitive state of checks notes New York? Hmm, ok. Surely their final words highlight the positive qualities of their candidate? Well, not so much. The rally featured- SOMEHOW- new lows, and may well serve as a "self-inflicted October Surprise."
John Nichols of The Cap Times and The Nation joins Dom to break down these final moments of the campaigns. Dom and John talk about the failure of major news sources to endorse a candidate and polling shenanigans that may set the stage for election denialism.

Catch up on the best segments from this week of the Dom Salvia Show!
First, from Monday's second hour, The Enablers Bear Responsibility: Mary Trump, niece of Donald, compiled a list of 13 reasons that disqualify the 45th POTUS from office ever again. The list, we should note, spans only the past 2 weeks. We dig into some of the lowlights. Plus- don't call it weaving!
Then, a segment from Thursday's second hour: Let's see what we can work out- together. Bill Press, podcaster, pundit, and political prognosticator, joins Dom and Earl to check in on the presidential race. He sees Harris' building of a broad coalition of political allies as an extremely powerful path forward.
Wrapping up with the last two segments from Wednesday's second hour: Qualified, Experienced, Personable. We began the show with an hour diving into all the reason's Trump is unfit for the office of President. Including testimonial from his former Chief of Staff and Marine General John Kelly. You can listen to that full interview, conducted by the New York Times, here. But in these two segments, we break down why we believe that Kamala Harris will win.

Harvey J. Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, joins Dom at the top of the hour. Harvey knows history. And he knows Common Sense. As in, the pamphlet written by Thomas Paine. Not as in whatever the hell Trump was citing as Common Sense in his platform... Please compare that platform with Harris', for a bit more of what we all thought to be common sense initiatives- backed by plans to make it happen!
A regular caller who consumes far too much disinformation for his health directs us to Virginia's voter registration. U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles ruled today that the state of Virginia needed to reinstate 1600 registered voters purged from their lists illegally for suspicion of non-citizen status. Judge Giles ruled that the systemic purge occurred after the state's 90-day pre-election window for such group removals from registrations. In this window, Judge Giles rules that each case must be considered individually.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are the two main party candidates for President of the United States in this election. They've assembled their platforms and laid out the plans they'll enact if elected. The issues you care about matter. And it matters that you can vote based on your beliefs and values. So find out which candidate shares them. Read Harris' platform and compare it to Trump's. Take an interactive quiz to see where you fall on a two axis spectrum between the two candidates.

Earl Ingram co-hosts with Dom.
Bill Press, podcaster, pundit, and political prognosticator, joins Dom and Earl to check in on the presidential race. He sees Harris' building of a broad coalition of political allies as an extremely powerful path forward. Harris united Bernie Sanders and Liz Cheney, hopefully bringing their respective supporters under the same tent. Some to the far left dislike this strategy, seeing it as abandonment. And so many more see this is as the answer to what we do on November 6th and January 7th. We must find a way to re-unite and see what we can work out- together.
Also, some more analysis of Harris' town hall last night. She presented policy, she showcased her ability to answer tough questions, and she highlighted the threat posed by her opponent. And for many, it still wasn't enough. Bill Press comments on this phenomenon of Harris' expectation for flawlessness in the face of Trump's lawlessness: obscene, absurd, and frustrating.
If you still need more reasons to vote for Harris and convince your loved ones to do so as well, make sure to tune in tomorrow for a deep dive into her policies.

Earl Ingram co-hosts with Dom.
Dom and Earl discuss some of the expectations for Election Day, November 5th. This election will likely have record high voter turnout. And with it, both major parties brace for shenanigans. With under a dozen days left until the election, both major parties are organizing teams of poll watchers. Poll watchers present a bit of a tricky situation. They may increase transparency and civic engagement. And they can lead to voter intimidation and suppression.
Kamala Harris participated in a CNN town hall last night. She hammered Trump on his absence from the event and his fascistic ambitions.

Matt Rothschild co-hosts with Dom today.
In this hour, Dom and Matt turn to why Kamala Harris should (and will!) win this presidential election. As should be abundantly, grotesquely obvious, Donald Trump is not fit for office. The people who know Trump best and the people who know this country's democracy best share this view. That alone does not qualify his opponent for the presidency.
Kamala Harris is qualified for the presidency by her policies, her experience, and her character. Harris has assembled a broad coalition of support, from former Democratic presidents to past and current Republican leaders in Congress. A majority of Americans support Harris' proposed policies. She possesses the qualifications, character, and capability to lead us well as Commander in Chief. We think the voters will elect Kamala Harris for President of these United States. So does James Carville, veteran political advisor and analyst. Now let's get to the polls and make it happen.

Today, we're digging deep into the ever-increasing calls that Trump is a fascist, supports fascism, and would be a fascistic autocrat if re-elected. Mind, these calls do not come from far left liberals alone. It is the people who know Trump best, the people who worked the closest with him, and the people who know the most about fascism making these assertions. Yes, progressives say it too- check out Matt's op-ed from yesterday. And so does former Chief of Staff to Donald Trump, retired Marine General John Kelly. Kelly sat for an interview with the New York Times where he laid out very compellingly the case against Trump returning to office. At the core, as stated by Trump's top general, Mark Milley: Trump is a fascist. He openly admires present and historical fascists. He is unqualified to lead this country.

Russian disinformation again seeks to disrupt our elections. Last week, a video emerged appearing to feature a former student of Tim Walz accusing the vice presidential candidate of inappropriate behavior towards him. The real man named in the video was shocked to see someone posing as him and making outrageous allegations. US intelligence tracked the origin of the hoax to Russia. Again. They seek destabilization in our country. Let's really mess them up by holding each other closer.
This Presidential election is one of the highest stake job competition in the world. And it's close. Despite the kaleidoscope coalition Harris has assembled to support her. Which continues to baffle us as Harris demonstrates again and and again that she has the policies that most Americans want. Meanwhile, Trump praised Hitler's generals and declared desire to enjoy the same type of sycophants serving him. Y'all, it's two weeks. Stay engaged, make a plan, and vote.

First, it's Overtime with Maggie Daun! Maggie sticks around for an extra half hour of air time to chop up the latest legal news with Dom. They dig into Trump's demonstrated use of the legal system to persecute his enemies, with Michael Cohen as star example. Plus, some steps toward justice with another of Trump's former attorneys. Rudy Giuliani must surrender his assets in order to pay restitution to the election workers he defamed. Trump wielded the Department of Justice for anything besides justice. In a second term, he'll do it again. Don't let it happen. Check your voter registration status, find your polling place, make a plan, and vote.
LuAnn Bird, former Civic Media host and current candidate for Wisconsin's 61st Assembly District, joins Dom at the bottom of the hour. LuAnn advocates for us all to get involved in our local politics, no matter our age or prior experience!

Kamala Harris proves her capacity and qualifications to serve this country as it's President with every day. Her opponent shows us each day his staggering unfitness for office. Mary Trump, his niece, compiled a list of 13 reasons that disqualify the 45th POTUS from office ever again. The list, we should note, spans only the past 2 weeks. We dig into some of the lowlights. From Mary's uncle rambling on for 12 minutes about Arnold Palmer, including fixating for way too long on the deceased man's penis, to his repeated calls to use the military on "the enemy within"- his political opponents.
But it's not just Donald Trump who threatens our democracy. Each and every enabler who covers for him, excuses his inexcusable behavior, and perpetuates his lies bears guilt for the degradation of our political system.

On Friday, the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association hosted the first and only Wisconsin Senate debate. Will the debate move the needle on the election? Dom and Jess aren't so sure. They break down the merits and demerits of the debate with listeners. One certainty did emerge from the debate- who deserves our vote. Hovde cannot and will not serve Wisconsin residents best interests. He lacks policy to support Wisconsinites and he lacks the temperament to represent our great state. Tammy Baldwin presented herself, her record, and her policy ambitions strongly.

Catch up on these best segments from the week!
From the first hour of Tuesday's show: Maggie Daun joins Dom for a bit of overtime to address Trump's proposed economic plan. You know, the one that most economists agree would weaken our economy by raising inflation and deficits. Now, both Maggie and Dom have formal training in economists. So they do know a thing or two when it comes to tariffs, taxes, and trade wars (oh my). And when Trump claims that his proposed tariffs are just "a figure of speech," it shows that our two have a better grasp on the topic than he ever will.
Next, from Tuesday's second hour: Hey conductor? I'd like to get off this Crazy Train. On Monday, the 45th POTUS hosted an event billed as a Town Hall. Dom and Jess thought they understood the format of a Town Hall. What we saw was... not that. Instead, we saw Trump take a few pre-ordained questions. And then hard-pivot away from questions aboard the Crazy Train . And stand, wobbling and smirking in the only way he knows how to dance, for nearly 40 minutes.
Then, in Thursday's first hour: Who determines when America is great? We. The. People. Eloisa Gomez joins us for a discussion on voter engagement. Eloisa is an author (Somos Latinas: Voices of Wisconsin Latina Activists) and activist with the League of Women Voters, Wisconsin. As part of her efforts with the League, Eloisa co-founded Comité por El Voto Latino, an outreach and advocacy group focused on increasing engagement and excitement with Latino voters.
Finally, from Wednesday's first hour: A President for All or A President for One, a conversation with Gwen Moore. Gwen Moore, sitting Congresswoman representing Wisconsin's 4th district, joins us to discuss the current state of the Presidential race.

Matt Rothschild guest hosts today. In this hour, he talks with two changemakers who are ready to engage with the voters of Wisconsin.
Jodi Habush Sinykin, candidate for Wisconsin's 8th Senate District is ready to represent this deeply purple district. She knows that the people of her district need representation that respects our differences. Jodi knows that the people of District 8 are exhausted of her opponent's extremism and scare-mongering. Jodi brings a wealth of experience as an environmental lawyer to her candidacy. She is ready and capable to lead this pivotal district to keep moving forward!
In the bottom of the hour, Matt interviews Jeff Messer. Jeff is the Community Outreach Chair of the UW College Dems. He talks with Matt about the crucial youth demographic in this election. Through his work with the College Dems, Jeff's seen many new voters engage in the civic process.

Matt Rothschild guest hosts for the day. Madison firebrand, Mr. Ethics himself, Scot Ross joins Matt for the top of the hour. Scot is the executive director of One Wisconsin Now, a liberal advocacy group based in Madison. They check in on the state of the presidential and US Senate race in Wisconsin. Current polling has us a bit anxious, but both Matt and Scot urge us not to fret. Scot shares his experience lately at the Waukesha County Dems monthly meeting. Rather than the typical dozen or so attendees, he reports well over 100 people eager to volunteer and do the work required to get Democrats elected.
In the bottom of the hour Matt talks with Bianca Shaw of All Voting is Local. Bianca serves as the Senior Campaign Manager of the Wisconsin branch of AViS. All Voting is Local works to connect people to the resources they need to fulfill their right and responsibility to vote. Bianca assures us that AViS is prepared for the challenges voters will face on election day. And any that may arise through the certification process. Remember y'all- local elections matter. Your voice matters. Make a plan and exercise your CIVIC duty!

Matt Rothschild and Angela Lang, Executive Director of BLOC- Black Leaders Organizing for Communities- guest cohost for the day.
What does it mean for a candidate to be professional? What about presidential? How can we quantify the qualities that give someone the credibility and right to merit the highest office in this land. Matt and Angela work their way through these questions. Because it matters that we can quantify and qualify every way that Kamala Harris possesses what she needs to lead this country. Will it sway those who have yet to decide for whom they'll cast their vote even after yet more evidence that Trump is unfit for office? That he cannot- WILL NOT- be a uniting force when he relies so heavily on division? We can only try. And try sharing this video as well, of Trump losing a man's vote once more for his many shortcomings.
In yet another monumental news day, Israeli forces killed Yahya Sinwar, the leader of the terrorist organization Hamas in Gaza. Sinwar masterminded the October 7th, 2023 attacks on Israel that killed 1,200 people. Militants tortured- including some by sexual violence- thousands more. Terrorists took over 250 people hostage back to Gaza. Over 100 hostages remain in unknown condition, including 7 Americans. In the year since, Israel has waged a brutal war on Gaza, attacking terrorists and their infrastructure, despite their embedment in civilian locations. Over 40,000 Palestinian people have been killed. Over 90% of Gaza's population has been displaced, many more than once. Gaza lies in rubble and ruin, and 2.3 million Palestinians suffer crushing hunger. Sinwar's death gives some potential for the needle to move towards ceasefire, peace, and rebuilding. Kamala Harris shared this news to the world behind the seal of the Vice President while in Milwaukee. She once again shows her qualifications for the office of President.

Joe Zepecki, founder of Zepecki Communications, a Milwaukee public relations network, joins Matt and Angela for the first half hour. Joe shares his analysis of the Harris campaign as a communications expert. Particularly, the interview Harris completed with Fox Dont'callitnews and the media appearances she's been doing with the non-legacy news networks. With the new media networks of podcast and stream shows. Joe shares why it matters when candidates meet voters where they are.
Eloisa Gomez joins us at the bottom of the hour. Eloisa is an author (Somos Latinas: Voices of Wisconsin Latina Activists) and activist with the League of Women Voters, Wisconsin. As part of her efforts with the League, Eloisa co-founded Comité por El Voto Latino, an outreach and advocacy group focused on increasing engagement and excitement with Latino voters. Eloisa speaks passionately about the issues that block many from full civic engagement. She shares some of the efforts of League of Women Voters to mediate these challenges. From increasing ballot literacy to combating voter suppression and intimidation, the League's got you covered!

Matt Rothschild guest co-hosting with Dom. Yesterday, Trump bubbled his way through an interview with Bloomberg Editor-In-Chief. We covered this a bit, but this source really nails how incredibly bad Trump mucked this one up. For all his lavishing praise on his own grasp of economics, he failed completely to demonstrate it. What Trump showed was what we all saw as he ended his "town hall" meeting early in favor of a 40-minute sway session. He's not capable of fulfilling the job of President of the United States. He lacks the temperament, the stamina, and the grasp of policy. HOW is this still a close race? It makes us itchy and a bit nauseas to consider...
But first, at the top of the hour, a lively conversation with a whole cast of regular and new callers. One caller questions the need and benefit for Child Tax Credits, setting off an avalanche of strong opinions.

Matt Rothschild guest co-hosting with Dom. We begin with a reminder of Trump's comments on weaponizing the military against US citizens. This leads us to the staggering endorsement for Harris from former Trump administration officials. Yesterday, Mike Esper, former Secretary of Defense for Trump called on voters to believe Trump when he says he would use the military against the people. Because Esper was there when he proposed doing just that. This isn't normal. Please, voters of all political orientations, heed the calls of leaders from the full political spectrum urging you to cast your vote for Kamala Harris.
Gwen Moore, sitting Congresswoman representing Wisconsin's 4th district, joins us for the second half hour. Congresswoman Moore presents the race simply: there's one candidate who will be a president for all. There is one candidate who will be a candidate for one. Choose well. Congresswoman Moore looks forward to the Harris presidency, where we can invest in families and quality of life!

Last night, the 45th POTUS hosted an event billed as a Town Hall. Now, Dom and Jess thought they understood the format of a Town Hall. A candidate or multiple candidates take questions from a crowd and deliver answers as a way for voters to compare platforms and proposed policies. What we saw was... not that. Instead, we saw Trump take a few pre-ordained questions. And then hard-pivot away from questions aboard the Crazy Train . And stand, wobbling and smirking in the only way he knows how to dance, for nearly 40 minutes. Y'all, we were deeply concerned watching this, a feeling shared by many. This is not normal, healthy behavior. This is not behavior that indicates a candidate possesses the physical and mental fortitude to serve as President of these United States.
But ...whatever that was didn't impact his ability to make judgments on others' suitability for office. Whereas Kamala Harris released her medical report this weekend, Trump only releases confused social media clamor at her records. Rather than, y'know, release his own to prove he's healthier. For the record, the most severe conditions on Harris' report are seasonal allergies and mild nearsightedness.
Finally, checking in on the current state of the stages of grief in the Trump camp on the 2020 election. Oh what's that? They're still in denial and bargaining? JD Vance sat down with the New York Times for an extended interview. Even with all the time in the world, he couldn't answer the simple question: did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?

Maggie Daun joins Dom for a bit of overtime to address Trump's proposed economic plan. You know, the one that most economists agree would weaken our economy by raising inflation and deficits. The one that Trump wants to fund through tariffs- the most beautiful word according to him. THAT economic plan. Now, both Maggie and Dom have formal training in economists. So they do know a thing or two when it comes to tariffs, taxes, and trade wars (oh my). And when Trump claims that his proposed tariffs are just "a figure of speech," it shows that our two have a better grasp on the topic than he ever will.

Trump's embrace of fascism grows seemingly with every passing day. He lays out plans to use military force against US citizens. He STILL will not concede that he lost the 2020 Presidential election. Don't trust us on this? Listen to the man who served as Chairman of the Join Chiefs of Staff in his administration, Mark Milley. Milley titles Trump, "fascist to the core" and "the most dangerous person ever." This isn't acceptable. We all have a role to play in keeping Trump out of the White House. Make a plan and vote. Check your registration status, and the contents of your ballot here. Then make a plan and vote.
In other news, while Trumpy is afraid of the big bad journalists at 60 Minutes, Kamala Harris agrees to an interview on Fox Don'tcallitnews. Will it change hearts or minds? One way to find out!

Republican endorsements for Kamala Harris for President continue to roll in. Why? Well, because they recognize that this election is not between a Democrat and a Republican. This election is about what kind of country we want this to be. Do we want a nation where we support one another? Do we want a country that values truth, integrity, and decency? Or do we want a nation divided and weakened by lies and hate, where politicians use every natural disaster for political games? To us, the answer is simple.
Nick Ramos, Executive Director of The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign joins Dom to talk money in politics. Nick's message is simple: people matter more than money. Yet the amount of money in Wisconsin campaigns now... it's staggering. And it shows that too many value money over people. This is the system we have. It's broken, and until Citizens United is overturned, it will continue. So, vote. Vote to change the system. And use your voice to tell our elected officials that YOU value people more than money.

Catch up on the best segments from this week of The Dom Salvia Show!
First, an animated exchange from Tuesday with Maggie Daun on the continued lies spewing forth from senate candidate Eric Hovde. He chose to propagate a dangerous lie about FEMA being out of money, due to aid going to undocumented migrants. These lies harm real people and we absolutely cannot accept them.
Next, from Thursday, how IS help for states impacted by natural disasters getting to them? Well, through some socialist policies. And that's pretty darn good! Socialism built many of this country's best features.
Then a conversation from Thursday with John Nichols of the Cap Times and The Nation on the presidential race. As John writes, Harris presents like a Lincoln-era Republican, and as we all see, Trump espouses eugenics. If that last linked article doesn't spell it out clearly enough for you, you may prefer this one.
Finally, some outrage and humor with Matt Rothschild on Wednesday, responding to Jesse Waters bizarre assertion that a man who votes for a woman transitions into a woman. Well, at least then they'll have bodily autonomy...

Yesterday, Donald Trump held a rally in Detroit, where he bashed... Detroit?! While the city has faced its share of hardships, it has turned around admirably, and is increasing in population for the first time in decades. As you may know, Dom is from the greater Detroit area, and he's justifiably upset. The Harris campaign also released a fantastic new advertisement using Trump's comments on the great city.
At the bottom of the hour, we're honored to welcome Brian Karem, former White House correspondent for Playboy and current writer at Salon.com. Notably, he's won three lawsuits against Donald Trump after his press pass was improperly revoked. He's been in the business since the days of Ronald Reagan, so he has an inside look on how legacy media has become so unreliable.

For today's first hour, Dom is joined by Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review on Civic Media! Now that we've had some time to review some of Donald Trump's unsealed court documents, Jim explains the effects that these materials may have on the case and November's election. Judge Tanya Chutkan appears to be doing her best to advance the case despite Trump's efforts to delay it. Jim also provides his perspective on the likelihood of Trump serving jail or prison time from his 34 felonies.

Picking up the thread of socialism from the first hour, Dom chats with Dr. Harvey Kaye and John Nichols. Harvey J. Kaye is Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. John is Associate Editor at Cap Times and National Affairs Correspondent at The Nation. Two men with strong knowledge of the history and current state of political affairs in this country.
We talk about the truly remarkable state of this current election. As John writes, Harris presents like a Lincoln-era Republican, and as we all see, Trump espouses eugenics. If that last linked article doesn't spell it out clearly enough for you, you may prefer this one. And then there are the unions! Teamsters' President, Sean O'Brien lambasts the Biden administration for not supporting unions enough... Ignoring the vital protection of pensions accomplished with the Butch Lewis Act.

As Hurricane Milton ravages Florida, still reeling from Helene, their Republican governor is doing what he should. He's marshalling and distributing resources to help his community. Excellent! We love to see it! But do you think he realizes that he's practicing what he claims to fear so much: socialism? Well, hear us and hear us well. Socialism built this country into what it is. From the roads we drive to the emergency responders we turn to in moments of crises to our schools and each of our elected officials. It's all socialism baby, and it makes the country work.

Matt Rothschild guest co-hosts with Dom. In this hour, they get to Bob Woodward's newest bombshell book. Bob Woodward's legacy of exposing corruption in politics stretches five decades. This time, Woodward peels back veils on conversations among top world officials surrounding some of the most critical upheavals of our lives. The COVID-19 pandemic. Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The current Middle-Eastern war. We're really looking forward to getting our hands on a copy of the book and reading it!
Then, let's do some compare and contrast of how the two main party candidates respond to crises. Trump lies about FEMA and discourages people from seeking critical aid. Harris leads with a calm certainty, gives clear instructions, and promotes unity. Gee this is a tough choice... Plus, a heart wrenching ad from the Lincoln Project on the real stakes of re-establishing bodily autonomy rights..

So, technically, legally, a candidate may lie as part of their campaigning. But that sure doesn't make it right. Matt Rothschild joins Dom to dig back into Republican lies begun by Trump and spiraling down to Hovde. Plus, more of Hovde's despicable campaigning techniques. If you find these tactics as distasteful as we do, you can let their campaign know! Give them a call at 608-535-1184. Isn't it great that our carpetbagging Californian set up a Wisconsin number just for the campaign?

Get the lead out! So says President Joe Biden in his Milwaukee address today as he touts his plan to do just that to our lead water lines. As so many of us know, there is NO safe amount of lead. Replacing these lines should be a top priority for any elected official. Yet the move brings out controversy, with a caller concerned that it will have no effect and is a waste.
Civic host of Rational Revolution, Mark Becker joins us to talk about the relativity of doing good and the future of the GOP post-Trump.
Dom wraps the hour with a reflection on his own political meanderings through the years. He's supported candidates from a half dozen political parties, some mainstream, some a bit more indie. So when he talks about Trump's unique disqualifications for president, Dom's coming at this with a lot of context.

What is truth? Is it subjective or can we agree to a few standards on the difference between fact and opinion? When it comes to where and how the federal government spends money, we do actually have some facts upon which to rely. So when politicians come up with lies about how disaster relief money is being spent on non-disaster relief causes, that's a problem. And that's exactly what Trump and his carpetbagging crony Eric Hovde are doing now. We round up a few more of Hovde's latest lies that hurt the people he'd deign to represent. Maggie Daun joins for the top of the show.

Scot Ross, "Mr. Ethics," firebrand, and fellow Gemini to Dom, joins us for a fiery talk about the state of politics. Scot's take on the current nonsense Trump and his ilk spew? It's ridiculous. And garbage. And trash as well.
Wrapping up the show today, Dom again addresses the dangers of Trump and cronies' lies. As yet another hurricane barrels towards the south-eastern states, Trump's lies about FEMA endanger millions of Americans. Even some in his own party are calling for him to knock it off. And when it comes to the sanctity of our elections? Trump's lies- and his insistence that his party fall in line with him- threaten our next election. As the Speaker of our House cannot even bring himself to admit in so many words that Trump lost the 2020 election, their party sets the stage to challenge a Harris victory in 4 weeks.

Sometimes it can feel like there is too much dividing us for us to unite. Don't believe that. Cling to our shared humanity.
At the top of the hour, Dom and Producer Jess take time to acknowledge the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israel. In the year since, war has ravaged the Levant. Why? Why can't we see past the limited factors that divide us to the entirety that unites us? This is a complicated issue, and we recognize that as two people, we can only provide two perspectives. This opinion shared many of the conflicting emotions we're struggling with today. Everywhere you look, you will find other perspectives. In this moment, let's do what we can to embrace our shared love for human life.
In the second half hour, Dom talks with Michelle Velasquez, Chief Strategy Officer of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin. Michelle shares the critical work that PPAWI does to keep sexual and reproductive healthcare accessible. Planned Parenthood provides so much more than abortion care. And the national "debate" over aboriton is about so much more. It's about the right to decide the course of our lives, regardless of our sex or gender.

President Joe Biden, gettin' it done for all of us who work for our living. For the first time in American history, our President sides unequivocally with labor unions. This week, President Biden's administration negotiated to resolve the International Longshoremen’s Association's strike to secure better wages and conditions for workers. Thank you, Joe!
Continuing the conversation on getting it done, the Honorable Tom Vilsack, joins us to talk about the issues that matter to rural voters. He sees the Biden-Harris administration doing more to engage rural voters than ever before. Truly, they demonstrate their love of country each day. Primarily be ensuring that the dream of greater comfort and success than our parents had, that "Secrete Sauce of America," continues to be possible.

Lead pipes and paint? Bad for us. Strong economy? Good for us! Look at that, two things to which we can easily agree! Now, how we get there... we'll try to work through that.
Well, what about voting? Many of us agree that protecting the right of US citizens to vote is a top priority. Perhaps we don't all agree on how easy it should be for citizens to fulfill their right and responsibility. But certainly, we must recognize that democracy does not function when our citizens cannot vote. Anne Egan-Waukau of Wisconsin Native Vote joins us for the second half hour to share how WNV works each day to combat disenfranchisement of Native voters. Beyond finding solutions to the concrete barriers blocking Native citizens from exercising their right to vote, WNV works to energize Native voters to participate in the civic process.

Matt Rothschild stays on to break down the VP debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance last night. Walz didn't have his strongest performance. And Vance never stopped lying. So who won? Well, that depends on how much you value truth. If that's a priority, there's no contest: Walz spoke honestly and earnestly, if haltingly. Read the full transcript or rewatch the debate here and decide for yourself.
Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez joins us for the bottom of the hour. She shares her experiences in this election cycle and her expectations for voter turnout, from the Presidential shake-up to Wisconsin's new legislative maps.

What's this? The October Surprise we started to hope for yesterday got here early! We didn't have to wait until October 10th for content from Jack Smith's filing against Donald Trump. Today, Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed significant portions of the filing, outlining how and why Donald Trump ought to be prosecuted for his role in fomenting an insurrection on January 6th, 2021. Matt Rothschild joins Dom to break down the legalese! Here's the unsealed document for your reading pleasure.
Charles Franklin Professor of Law and Public Policy and Director of the Marquette Law School Poll joins Dom for the second half hour. Charles brings some good news for the Harris-Walz ticket and for Tammy Baldwin in the most recent poll. We love to hear it!

Yes, it can be repetitive to hear day after day "Trump said another absolutely inane and horrendous thing." And we will not stop sharing the real words that he says and the real consequences of his behavior.
When will Trump's unacceptable behavior finally be enough for him to face real, personal consequences? Well, potentially very soon. Mark your calendars for October 10th. Any time that day or afterwards then, Tanya Chutkan may release Jack Smith's 180 page report containing key evidence from the federal case being prosecuted against Trump for inciting an insurrection on January 6th, 2021. This report, already delayed several times by Trump's legal team's own efforts, may seriously shake up the election.

Maggie Daun joins us for the top of the hour, as does Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul. Dom, Maggie, and Josh dig into the differences between voter fraud and election fraud. Voter fraud- when individuals commit fraud by casting non-legal votes- is exceedingly rare. Election fraud on the other hand- when groups or organizations work to stop legal votes from being cast- abounds. In fact, Trump-appointed election officials declared our electoral systems entirely secure.
Next, Dom checks in on Trump's rally today in Waunakee, deep in blue blue Dane County. Shockingly, Trump presented lies after falsehoods alongside complaints about crowd sizes. We're trying to find a balance between sane-washing and giving free air time to this wannabe dictator. This past weekend, Trump went even further than before in his hatred-fueled ranting. Looking for someone else who refuses to simplify what Trump says? Check out Aaron Rupar.

To start today's second hour, Dom dedicates some time to covering the devastation of Hurricane Helene. The destruction is widespread, and the death toll is catastrophic. President Biden and FEMA are doing their best to provide disaster relief. Unfortunately, Donald Trump is using this tragedy as a political football, despite his poor track record when it comes to dealing with natural disasters.

Over the weekend, Donald Trump appeared in Prairie du Chien, WI. As always, his rhetoric was full of personal attacks and calls for violence. Dom shares some of the lowlights.
At the bottom of the hour, trade expert James Vanderloo of OEC Group joins Dom to talk about rising tensions in American shipping ports. The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) will begin a strike tonight or tomorrow due to breakdowns in collective bargaining. The impact that this will have is absolutely tremendous, and James walks us through the likely consequences of these failed negotiations. He also explains the detriments of Donald Trump's proposed tariffs.

Jim Santelle joins us for the top of the hour to dig into another legal case. Current New York City Mayor, Eric Adams, faces criminal indictment for public corruption charges. Adams is the first sitting mayor of NYC to face indictment. The trial will begin soon, and as we learn more, we'll bring updates!
A caller diverts us to talking about immigrant crime. However, every bit of information we have shows that immigrants of all documentation status commit crimes at lower rates than US born citizens. The rate comparison is even more stark when comparing documented and undocumented immigrants.

Jim Santelle joins us to talk through some legal news.
The University of Wisconsin- La Crosse fired Joe Gow this week for his extracurricular activities. Again. Joe and his wife, on their own time, recorded and posted sex acts to several pornographic websites. The board of regents ousted Joe from his position as Chancellor late last year. Now, they've fired him from his tenured teaching position as well. Joe announced that he will sue the school under ground that his First Amendment rights were violated.
One person whose actions definitely do not fall under the canopy of First Amendment protections? Wausau Mayor Doug Diny. He claims that he removed a ballot box from outside City Hall due to a "philosophical difference" concerning voting. However, the right and responsibility to place drop boxes lies with the city CLERK, not the mayor.

New York City's mayor, Eric Adams, spoke out today about the newly unsealed federal indictment against him. Adams faces charges related to soliciting and accepting financial contributions from foreign nationals in exchange for favors as well as stealing public funds. Meanwhile, Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins sets new lows for behavior and new highs for how much racism the Republican party tolerates with comments about Haiti and Haitian immigrants. Mayor Adams is a Democratic- no Democratic leaders have denounced the investigations or indictments against Adams. Higgins is a Republican- and the Republican Speaker of the House was quick to defend his fellow Louisianan. The contrast forces us to ask: are Republicans living in a post-shame society? A caller suggests with his behavior that perhaps we are...

Pat Krietlow, Civic Media radio host of Up North News, joins Dom to talk ballot drop boxes in Wausau. He kicks off our conversation for the hour on Wausau's mayor Doug Diny removing a ballot drop box. Pat's comments on the Diny's anti-democratic criming made it all the way to the Raw Story, so we asked him for a few more words of wisdom.
Earl Ingram Jr. joins us at the bottom of the hour to continue the conversation. Callers weigh in on what consequences Mayor Diny should face. One particularly good recommendation: a public apology picnic.

Matt Rothschild joins us as our regular Wednesday guest. A woman's perspective. The most recent poll from the Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics shows that young voters are ready and excited to vote for Kamala Harris. Harris holds a particular edge with young women, with a 47% margin lead over Trump. No surprise there. Still, those numbers give us a lot of optimism! Next, we address a response to Trump's comments yesterday about being a "protector" of women, insisting that women will "no longer be thinking about abortion". Producer Jess delivers a dramatic reading of Alexandra Petri's (Washington Post) satirical piece, "It is so much nicer to be a woman in Trump's world".
We wrap the show with a discussion of Biden's farewell address to the UN yesterday. President Biden spoke with clarity, compassion, and grace, showing true leadership perspective on the challenges this world faces.

We hear and read frequent complaints that Kamala Harris doesn't provide specifics when it comes to policy. Well, today, Harris laid out detailed and specific economic policy in Pittsburgh. In contrast, her opponent's proposed policy... well... lacks all substance. Tune in for our highlights with our regular guest, Matt Rothschild.
In the bottom of the hour, we address the disparate ways the media (sometimes ourselves included) cover Trump and Harris. Harris too often receives criticism for lack of content. And Trump far too often benefits from significant sanewashing of his absolutely inane speech and behavior. We're trying to do better.

First, a short update on the federal case being prosecuted against Trump for inciting a violent insurrection on January 6th, 2021. Then, an update from Springfield Ohio. A non-profit group, Haitian Bridge Alliance, filed criminal charges against both Donald Trump and JD Vance. The charges assert that the intentional lies spread by the two imperil the Haitian immigrants in Springfield and throughout the country.
Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, joins us for the second half hour. As the majority of voters tune in fully for this election cycle, Ben lays out the stakes and the energy in this sprint to election day. Differences between the two major party candidates abound. Do you want higher taxes? Do you want more investments in social goods? Kamala Harris's platform will support YOU. Donald Trump's platform supports Donald Trump.

For the first half hour, Maggie Daun has more to say on the matter of abortion. Trump says women won't even be thinking about it if he's re-elected. We say, women won't be able to STOP thinking about abortion until it full bodily autonomy rights are restored and codified in national law.
Next, Bill Carroll- President of Wisconsin Teamsters Join Council 39- joins Dom. This local chapter of the Teamsters chose to endorse Kamala Harris. This, despite the national Teamsters organization refusing to give either major party candidate their endorsement. So why did the national Teamsters abstain from endorsing and why are Wisco Teamsters charting their own course? Tune in!

It's going to be very interesting to watch the results roll in November 5th!
With new fairer maps, Wisconsin finally has a chance for a Legislature that accurately reflects the deep purple nature of our state. And a chance to do some good, to invest in the causes that the people of Wisconsin want to support. Let's shake things up on November 5th and get a Legislature that really represents us!

Last week, Dom began addressing the horrifying comments and behaviors attributed to Lt. Governor Mark Robinson of North Carolina, who is now running for Governor of that state. At the top of the hour, Dom and Producer Jess break down some updates on this election in NC. Over the weekend, Robinson's campaign experienced a staff exodus. Perhaps they fled after Robinson declined several offers for professional tech assistance in getting to the bottom of just WHO made those obscene comments on a porn site attributed to Mark... Dom also takes a stroll through the worst things Robinson has said- last updated in March of this year.

A Heritage Foundation advisor claims that Haiti would be economically better off if they had remained colonized- that the Black population would remain enslaved- by the French for an extra few decades.
In a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on hate crimes, John Kennedy verbally assaulted the executive director of the Arab American Institute. Senator Kennedy opened his questioning of Ms. Berry by stating in a somewhat questioning tone "you support Hamas do you not?". He proceeded to lie to her face about what she had said, talk over her, and tar her with disgusting anti-Arab language. It's abhorrent and unacceptable.

For our first hour, tackling news out of North Carolina. Mark Robinson, the "Black Nazi" lieutenant Governor of the state is now running for Governor. He's made very open anti-trans policy remarks. Well, today news breaks of his very extensive record of disparaging, racist, sexist, alarmingly authoritarian and fascist-aligned statements. His proposed policies scare the hell out of us and will cause serious harm. Pay attention and get active in decided our governance.

Matt Rothschild joins Dom for both hours today. He starts off sharing his history with Wisconsin politics, starting with his time at The Progressive and The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign. Matt and Dom talk about how Wisconsin's new legislative maps will help bring balance.
Matt and Dom review the lie popularized and spread that Haitian immigrants in Ohio are eating pets. Vance calls for the media to fact check the claims from Springfield, and then immediately rejects the fact-checking. Haitian Americans are speaking out about the effects of these lies on their community. Matt recommends us all check out books by Edwidge Danticat, a Haitian-American writer.

In the wake of an apparent second assassination plot against Donald Trump, everyone has an opinion about who and what is to blame. Vance and Trump blame the Democrats for "attacking Trump"... by, er, fact-checking him and pushing back against his authoritarian ideals. Let's be very, very clear: political violence is unacceptable. It is not the answer to political difference. And physical violence often follows verbal violence and hate-filled calls to action.
James Kelly, northwest news bureau chief for Civic Media joins us at the bottom of the hour to brings an update from JD Vance's rally. Towards the end of the appearance, Vance returned to his favorite lie of the moment on Springfield residents from Haiti eating pets.

Today we salute YOU, Mr. Really Bad Debator! In case you missed it, last Tuesday the two major party presidential nominees for president met for the first time in order to debate the issues that matter to Americans. Every respectable poll of elected officials, journalists, and political junkies marks Kamala Harris the clear winner of the debate. The former president and current Republican nominee asserts that he won, due to his being a man of extraordinary genius. You can read the full transcript and watch the full exchange to judge for yourself.
In this hour, we also check in on the two major party vice presidential candidates. Tim Walz made a campaign stop in Wisconsin today, where he highlighted the necessity of Ukraine's victory against Russian aggression. His opponent has had very different media appearances. JD Vance continues to double and triple-down on the lie of migrants harming pets. He refuses to drop the lie even as fellow Republicans call on him to do so as it places Ohioans in real danger.

First off, let's state the obvious. Political violence is never acceptable. Over the weekend, an attempted assassin waited at one of Trump's Florida golf courses with a high-powered gun. Trump's Secret Service detail shot at the man before he ever had Trump in his sights or took a shot and the alleged would-be assassin is now in custody. And, of course, Trump immediately took to social media to seek donations and blame his Democratic opponents for checks notes using extreme and hateful rhetoric that incites violence. Huh. That, that seems like projection.
Plus- breaking down the devastating, shocking, unmanly image of Tim Walz drinking a milkshake... with a STRAW gasp

Jim Santelle stays on for a second hour for an early Law Review before his Saturday Amicus show. He and Dom check in on the current legal cases facing former POTUS Trump. In Georgie, Scott McAfee dropped two charges related to conspiracy and election interference against Trump. Jim breaks down why, and why it's probably correct. Then they move on to discussing the ongoing turmoil the Haitian immigrant communities of Springfield, OH face. Trump and Vance continue to claim without any evidence whatsoever that immigrants are harming pets. It is not true. And these lies are dangerous. Finally, checking in on the documents case in Florida.

Former US Attorney and current Civic Media host of Amicus: A Law Review Jim Santelle joins us today to talk law. Jim and Dom spend some time checking in on Tuesday's presidential debate- of course- before launching into a law review. Yesterday, Merrick Garland delivered an address to the workforce stating that the DoJ would remain independent from all political maneuvering. We all suffer when justice becomes politicized. And some people- not to mention names- need a reminder of what it means to be a public servant.

Kamala Harris is a what??? Trump has claimed multiple times that Harris is a Marxist. A caller echoed that claim, but failed to substantiate it. Suffice to say, they didn't make a great impression with their air time.
We wrap up our discussion of the debate by running through Trump's racist anti-immigration rants. Or, at least the first 3 that the made, because Jess couldn't cut any more of them afterwards... With audience comments, we tie a bow on our in-depth analysis of the debate and prepare to move on to new and exciting topics tomorrow!

Earl Ingram Jr. joins Dom for a post-debate breakdown. They dig into their biggest takeaways from the event, starting with Trump's absurd claim that immigrants are eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. To be clear, immigrants are not stealing and eating pets in Springfield or anywhere else in this country. However, these words, especially when spoken by a former President of the United States on a national stage, have consequences. Springfield, OH reported bomb threats today targeting immigrant communities and using language that echoes that of the former commander-in-chief.

Matt Rothschild joins Dom to chop up the debate. And wow is there a lot to chop. We start the hour by addressing one of the most shocking 3 minutes of the debate as Trump refused to share any regrets about his actions on January 6th, 2021.

Starting off, we address Ron Jonson's latest nonsense about how "democrats are dividing the nation". Next, whose finances are we more concerned about- Tammy Baldwin's partner's clients or multi-millionaire bank-owner Eric Hovde, who is himself running for Senate?
Dom's guest for the second half hour is Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Harvey co-authors a comic series on expanding our rights, specifically our economic rights. The series builds on the proposals laid out by FDR in his 1944 State of the Union, the policies advanced by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and legislation modern progressive politicians work to pass today. The comic series, frankly, is really freaking cool, with smooth artwork and thought-provoking content, go check it out!

We the People- what do those words even mean? It means we are stronger together than we could ever be when we tear ourselves apart. Dom chose to ink those words- We the People- onto himself, because he believes in them. In this hour, he and Earl discuss the importance of clinging to this simple truth- that together we are stronger than we are apart. In an age of intense division, some unity, some love goes a long way. But it can't all be love and unifying rainbows. Because not everyone is playing by these guides. And there is simply too much at stake.

Guests: Earl Ingram, Dom Salvia
Setting the tone for his new show, Dom joins forces with Earl Ingram to hold Trump accountable for his nonsense. Yeah, we're talking sanewashing- where media reports what Trump might have intended to say... without including everything that he actually said. So here you can expect to find what he really said, in all its unholy glory.
For example, in a town hall style event, Trump fumbled his way through a response to a question about prioritizing funding for child care. He said it was really not that expensive and not a big deal. He claims time and time again that he's been indicted more than Al Capone (untrue). The weird thing there is that he somehow wears that as a badge of honor? He held a campaign stop in Mosinee and went off about Hannibal Lecter again. What Trump says matters. And we should be listening closely as he tells us over and over again who he is.

Anyways, Trump is meeting with European authoritarians again, this time inviting Hungry's Viktor Orban.

Dems are mad that he's a partisan trying to throw the election for Trump, Republicans are mad that he's a deep stage stooge. Maybe he shouldn't have left the Justice Department, it doesn't seem like he has many friends left.
Aaron Rodgers is going back on his comments that he'd never get into politics, as he's RFK Jrs. top choice for a running mate. Guess we should have paid more attention to those Pat McAfee interviews... Hey, at least they can do Ivermectin together on the campaign trail.
Another Republican is leaving Congress. This time, it's Ken Buck from Colorado. That means that Republican's stranglehold over Congress has shrunk even more. Speaker Jefferies when?

Dom is back in Madison for today's show! He and Crute bring us some updates on our favorite Wisconsinite, Robin Vos. It appears that the recall effort is dead, and we may be stuck with the popcorn king for a while longer.
At the bottom of the hour, Dom and Crute talk with John Nichols of The Nation on President Biden's new budget.

Crute had an exciting weekend making bacon jam (and shares a bit of his recipe), and is very passionate that if someone's going to enjoy his delectable bites, they better SAVOR it.
Biden, though, is advertising a major economic plan for the next decade, calling for expanded social programs and raised taxes on the rich. Eat the rich, Crute says! Yes, it is a mighty big budget, but we'd get free preschool, tax breaks for first time homebuyers, and more. How would we pay for it? Taxing the rich, of course. About time someone called for that...
But Biden can only control, at most, the next four years. And his budget looks to reduce the country's debt by $2 trillion in a decade. When it's an election year, Crute has to ask - why not put forward a reasonable, balanced budget that Republicans can't cut to shreds?

Donald Trump was on a bit of a rampage in his speeches over the weekend. You know, the usual slide into fascism. He even managed to disparage E Jean Carroll again! Let's see what her lawyers have to say about those comments...
Closer to home, it seems the far-rightys who are trying to get rid of Robin Vos have enough signatures to force a recall election. Crute celebrates the move, anything to get rid of that guy! He's been the number one barrier to Wisconsin Democrats getting anything done for years. But Dom's a bit more skeptical. I mean, once he's gone, who's going to take his place?

How would you like to be stuck sitting next to Marjorie Taylor Greene? Well, Crute brings us a story from the Journal Sentinel on Gwen Moore's experience in that unenviable position.
Sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction. University researchers are using satellites and artificial intelligence to monitor the spreading of cow manure. No, this is not a joke. Environmental advocates are using this technology to hold big farms accountable for their practices. Check out the article on Wisconsin Public Radio.

Dom and Crute continue to listen to a bit of Joe Biden's State of the Union last night. Yes, Dom fell asleep, but not because of the speech! It's because of his tequila-laden lifestyle.
One thing that definetly kept Crute awake all night was Senator Britt's Republican response. We hear a bit of what she had to say, and I've got just one word: weird. Breathy. Melodramatic. Weird.
Finally, Dom's going to heading to Ireland later this month. Let's hope that he isn't mistaken for a leprechaun and get's assaulted over his lucky charms...

Joe Biden had a great night last night with his State of the Union last night. The best part? How annoyed Republicans were throughout the speech! We even got a (possibly) drunk Van Orden yelling at the President! At least he's consistent with yelling at people at the Capitol...
While Biden did great, Republican Katie Britt did... less great with the Republican response. She was weird, breathy, not able to deliver a message. At least Trump loved it! Even if he's alone in that thought, even among fellow Trumpers.
But the event, as a whole, was full of fun times. George Santos even made an appearance! But while the CJs of the world would say he was there to divide-and-conquer, that isn't true. Biden both attacked the MAGA extremists while affirming he was there to represent all of America.

Last night, President Joe Biden delivered an excellent State of the Union address. However, our local Wisconsin drunkard Derrick Van Orden didn't think so, shouting out to interrupt the speech. Was he drunk at the time? Crute thinks so. There's certainly precedent of Van Orden being an angry drunk.
At the bottom of the hour, our friend Earl Ingram joins in to talk about the State of the Union speech more broadly. Also, what was up with the Republican response? Senator Katie Britt put middle school forensics teams to shame with her bizarrely breathless kitchen table speech.

Civic Media host Jim Santelle joins the Devils, dressing for the job he has, not for the job he wants. There's more than enough legal news going on in the world, and Jim helps the boys break them down.
RoJo is still denying that he knew anything about the false elector plan in 2020, even though new texts show that he was well informed about the plot. Is he criminally liable for his role? It's too early to say, says Jim, but wait and see. We'll have to see what Jack Smith has to say...
And what about Stormy Daniels? Yes, it's salacious, but it might also be enough to be the one to take down Trump. There's been several "moments" to take down Trump, including with the Stormy Daniels Case. Can this be the one that actually does it?

Tonight is the State of the Union, and while Joe Biden is giving one of the most important speeches of his life, Dom's skipping it. Those concerts aren't going to themselves! Speaker Mike Johnson is calling for decorum from his party, and if there's one thing that Republicans are good at, it's being respectful. (Right...)
Three-toed Marge is already planning on yelling during the speech, as she is known to do during these events. But the real questions is, how many Republicans will yell out during the speech? If we were to make it a drinking game, how much trouble would be be in?
But speaking of the State of the Union, Crute's got some advice for President Joe Biden. Not so much advice, so much as a speech for him to give later tonight. He broke out a brand new pack of crayons to write out his proposed speech for the President, and delivers it to YOU.

Welcome to today's Thursday State of the Union show! In the coming hours, Crute will share his own alternate presidential speech, but until then, he regales us with the latest tales of Ron Johnson's ineptitude. More evidence of Johnson's knowledge of the false elector scheme has surfaced.

Kamala Harris was in Madison today, and Crute got to be in the room with her! She was doing some politicking at the Dem Party Headquarters just blocks from the Civic Media headquarters. Did you know that she grew up in Madison? She did! Right next to one of the lakes, not clear which one.
Ron Johnson is in the news again today. Every time he's in the news lately, it's never for something good... Remember when RoJo said that his involvement with the false elector scheme was mere seconds? Well, new records show that that isn't true. RoJo lie? Really??? He even helped Jim Troupis prepare his talk before Congress while Troupis was deep in his scheming... Ron Johnson knew a full MONTH before January 6th what the plan was.

Firebrand, pundit, and recently-married man Scot Ross joins the Devils to break down the Super Tuesday results. Haley is out! Phillips is out! 2020 part two is on! Ross has it all covered, and even makes us remember that terrible Scott Walker...
On the Biden front, Ross says that Wisconsin should be a slam dunk for the President. Biden has been winning races in Wisconsin that he's not even in, with Evers and Protasiewicz, so when he's actually on the ballot in November, it should be no problem. He just has to actually listen to the people protesting his handling of Israel/Gaza, like the ones who were in Madison today protesting Kamala Harris.
But the big news today - Super Tuesday! Steve Kornacki helped Crute figure out what was happening last night, and he has just one thing to say about his broadcast: where's the khakis?? But Biden lost American Samoa to some nobody! Jason Palmer is the guy, and hey, at least he got on MSNBC! But the Dean Phillips and Nikki Haley experiments are over, to nobody's surprise. At least Phillips endorsed Biden on the way out, and Haley didn't endorse anyone.

Vice President Kamala Harris was in Madison today, and Crute was on location to capture the scene for us. Tune in for audio of pro-Palestine protestors, a new proclamation from Madison Mayor Rhodes-Conway, an introduction from Ben Wikler, and some words from Harris herself! Due to her personal history here in Madison, March 6th is now officially Kamala Harris day.
At the bottom of the hour, friend of the show Scot Ross returns to talk about the state of Wisconsin politics.

Do we enjoy having to read a Charlie Sykes piece? No, but he makes a good point this week. Donald Trump is probably the luckiest politician alive. How else would he be able to stick around without getting into trouble for this long?
Dom's got some major objections though. I mean, the guy was flying clear under the radar until he decided to run for president, and what's happened since then? Something something 91 federal indictments?
Then - Trickle Down Economics. Does it work? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Crute has an answer: of course it doesn't. Don't tell that to Scott Walker though, he and other Republicans are still clinging to dear life to the misbelief that trickle down economics helps the poor, and not just gives huge tax cuts to the rich.

It's Super Tuesday, and scores of states are heading to the polls today to vote for their pick for who will represent their party in the November election. Mostly voting for either Biden or Trump. But before we can get to Super Tuesday, Dom and Crute, (and the state of Arizona) have reason to celebrate: Kyrsten Sinema is dropping out!
Meanwhile, Republicans have some breaking news about former First Lady Michelle Obama. She is NOT running for President! Almost as if just being married to the President doesn't make you qualified enough to actually BE the President.

Today, we have a new video of Wisconsin's fake electors! Their applause and cheers suggest that they knew exactly what they were doing, no matter what Andrew Hitt says about being duped. Crute brings us through his thoughts.
Crute also takes some time to dump on "Dani California" Eric Hovde's pornstache.

Chesebro and Jim Troupis (who?) are back in the national news spotlight after settling a civil lawsuit from their efforts to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election. The next few days are going to be interesting, as the 1,400 pages of documents, emails, texts, and even videos come out about their involvement in trying to overthrow the government. The best part? Chesebro may have perjured himself again. Oops!
Meanwhile in the Trump White House, new reporter from Newsweek shows that Dr. Feelgood was definitely working overtime. Hard to say who was taking what, but there was plenty of speed and Xanax going around during those 4 years. Dom is offended, offended I say! Mostly because that isn't happening over here. Why wasn't he offered any?

Chuck Chvala sticks with the Devils through the hour to continue breaking down the new legislative maps. But before we get there, a bit of breaking news: SCOTUS has ruled that Trump will be on the ballot for the 2024 presidential election. Crute says that this is a good call, and of course he has to gloat a little bit, as he did see this coming.
While the SCOTUS ruling was expected, at least by Crute, the new maps bring a new day to Wisconsin says Chvala. Over in Dom's neck of the woods in Milwaukee, Democrats may finally be able to take some Senate seats away from the Democrats. Those WOW counties that have been Walkerland for years now? They're starting to become more and more blue. And with the new maps, at least one of those areas might even turn Blue in the next election.
Turning to the national news of the day, while today's SCOTUS ruling was expected, it is still concerning. When the conservative justices go so far that they lose Barrett, you know they're going too far. Let's just hope they have a bit more integrity when they take up the absolute immunity case...
Oh, and did you hear? Nikki Haley finally won a primary! Right in the highly-sought after District of Columbia! Don't look at the only 2000 people who actually voted in that race though... surly she can keep this momentum into Super Tuesday!

For today's Wisconsin power hour, Crute shares some reporting by Molly Beck of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on the fake elector scheme. Jim Troupis and Ken Chesebro are not done astonishing us. Andrew Hitt may be playing dumb, but Chesebro is too busy perjuring himself to follow that lead.
At the bottom of the hour, Crute is joined by former Wisconsin Democratic Leader Chuck Chvala! He and Crute talk about the development of Donald Trump's authoritarianism and its Wisconsin connections.

Dom and Crute continue their conversation about rural white rage, especially here in Wisconsin. While not all white people in rural Wisconsin are racist, there is definitely some rage out there...
Today's callers even show that that's the case! No matter if your mad at your neighbors, eating cheese and fried fish, or heading to the Jefferson Speedway, there's good people wherever you look. Crute just needs to borrow Dom's car so they can enter the demolition derby there...

It's Friday, which means it's time for the Friday news dump, AKA when lawmakers drop bad news. As the boys get on the air, the WI Supreme Court says that they aren't going to take up a case challenging the state's congressional maps. If the maps can't be challenged, let's just hope that Democrats decide to actually run against some of those yahoos. Looking at you Glenn Grothman!
After yesterday's hour-long argument about Foxy News, maybe Dom is changing his mind today after their latest outrage. A new book is looking to tackle WHITE RURAL RAGE. Fox News is mad about it, because hey, rural whites are their target demographic!
But if it is true that rural white people are more racist, more homophobic, more ignorant in general, why is that the case? Is it religion? Jobs leaving the community? The Trump-effect?

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Tony Evers has vetoed major portions of a new Republican tax cut proposal. Is this the right call? Evers has said he wants tax breaks for the middle class, and Crute thinks that this veto goes against the interests of Wisconsin. Maybe Tony Evers has fallen into a trap of divisive partisanship, vetoing everything with an R in front of it.

Foxy News is, guess what, in hot water again, with the White House calling them FALSE on their reporting of the investigation of Hunter Biden. Didn't they just have to pay $800 million for one of the voting machine lawsuits? Guess the White House saw that and though hey, we're eligible for a bit of that pie!
But would the President be overstepping his bounds by going after the media? Dom sure thinks so, and says that the next guy in the White House could be Trump, and then the shoe could be on the other foot. Crute vehemently disagrees. Thankfully, they aren't broadcasting in the same room today, so Producer Nate doesn't need to get between them.

Both Trump and Biden made a run for the border today to give dueling press conferences about the border. Biden's trying to get something done, but Trump is stopping him (through the Republicans in Congress), and yelling at Biden about it! He doesn't want something done about the border, because then what he fearmonger on leading up to the election?
Bill Press, of the Bill Press Podcast, joins the Devils, and he's fuming. Why? The Supreme Court's decision to take up Donald Trump's total immunity case. Ginny Thomas is probably the biggest Trump supporter out there, so of course they would take up the case, and delay delay delay!
Then, Bill Press helps the Devils out with Trump's many, many, other lawsuits. How much is Mar-a-Lago worth? Does he have the cash to pay off his new debts? Will Stormy Daniels be the one to save democracy?

Vice President Kamala Harris is coming to Madison in just under a week, and Crute's ready to give her a warm welcome to Wisconsin's capitol. It just so happens that the Devil's Advocates recently got some digital billboards around the Madison area, ones that can be updated with a brand new message every single day... Do we use it to welcome Kamala? Or maybe to antagonize someone who's wronged her recently...
Matt Rothschild, formerly with the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, comes out of retirement to talk with Crute about, what else, fair maps! He says that Crute should have no fear of a Republican sham lawsuit that could take out the new maps, and HE says that the maps WILL be in place this fall. Sorry to all those Republican's who will either need to move or run against a coworker in November.
Plus, Janel Brantjen's could be facing felony charges, false electors are still not charged, Chesebro is lying and lying, and so much more. Rothschild is a man with a lot of thoughts for you people!

Trump tried to make a deal with the good people of New York (you know, the ones he owes hundreds of millions to), but they say, no thanks! He's offering them less than a quarter of what he owes, and within hours, a judge denies his request. Time to start liquidating your assets I guess.
Hunter Biden gave testimony before Congress on his father's impeachment inquiries today, and had some sharp words for Republicans who continue to push their baseless claims. He released parts of his testimony to the public today, and it's pretty charged. I guess that's what happens when you base your entire case upon people who have been proven liars, and have all been indicted or are behind bars.

Just as Dom and Crute get together for the second hour of the show, the US Supreme Court announce that they're ready to take up arguments about whether or not Trump has absolute immunity. It will take about eight weeks for the court to even hear oral arguments on the case, which means that, if they do happen to rule before the November election, it won't be until right up until it's too late.
Mitch McConnell is on his way out of Senate leadership, and the turtle is on his way out. Crute's theory? He just doesn't want to deal with Trump. No, McConnell says, he just wants to spend more time with family! At a big farm upstate, with lots of room to run around and be free.
RoJos been talking on the Foxy News again, and you know it's bad when even they will question his lies. This time it's about the Hunter Biden. All they want to know is, what exactly are they upset with him about? Pro tip Ron, if you're going to run around lying all the time, you should learn not to stutter ever time you do it...

Crute is back from Michigan, and ready to tackle today's Wisconsin political world. Specifically, he's ready to tackle the Senate Republicans for firing even more of Governor Evers' appointees. All of them are more than qualified (although maybe that's why Republicans want to fire them), but they're even going after Crute's friends now!
You know who else needs to be tossed? Mr. Toxic Tom Tiffany himself. Whether it's his wonderful handiwork here in the state Legislature, where he blocked the state DNR time and time again, or his current work in Washington DC doing the great work of the Republican party today. How're they doing these days, by the way?
Finally, Wisconsin might finally be on it's way to getting fair legislative maps. But what about the congressional maps? There's a lawsuit looking to take those to task too, but as Bruce Murphey at Urban Milwaukee points out, it needs to happen sooner rather than later. With how tight the margins are in Washington, fair congressional maps in Wisconsin could be the deciding factor in global democracy.

Dom is known to exist in a fantasy land, but at least he's grounded enough to know that this November will be a matchup between Biden and Trump. Who's ready for round two? Yes, the airwaves are filled with hopes that someone else will take either the Republican or Democratic spot, but despite Trumps many indictments and Biden's age issues, the two will be the ones on the ballot this fall.
Oh, did you know there's a presidential primary election in Michigan today? The Michigan GOP is even having two parties to celebrate! But that's because nobody can agree who's actually in charge. They're even holding to conventions later this week to assign delegates. Wisconsin Republicans are always in disarray, but at least they can agree on who's in charge of their own party!

Crute got an interesting email from Trump today, encouraging him to vote in that election! Is that election fraud? Maybe if he offers him some sneakers...
But does Trump have this as tied up as he thinks he is? Liberals are certainly more critical of Biden than conservatives are of Trump, and he only won about 60% of the vote in South Carolina last weekend. If that 40% of South Carolina voters don't turn out for Trump in November, will that be enough to hand the election to Biden?
Meanwhile, on the Dem side, there's a push to embarrass the President, or maybe just to prove a point, to vote uncommitted instead of Biden in the primary today. The drive is largely coming Arab-Americans in Michigan who disapprove of the President's handling of Gaza. Crute says that, if you're going to throw a protest vote, do it now during the primary. It's the perfect chance! It's not like he's actually going to lose Michigan today anyways, they just need to turn out in November.

Trump is saying that he shouldn't have to pay bond is his E. Jean Carroll case. Why? Because he's rich! Rich people don't face consequences! The judge doesn't seem to be buying it, but at the end of the day, this is just another delay tactic, he loves those.
And who could ever believe that Nazi's might have gone to CPAC! NBC News is reporting that, why the Nazi's had been thrown out in past years, they were seen openly Hitler-salute-ing at this year's conservative Super Bowl. While CPAC officials say that there is no way, video footage seems to show otherwise...
Trump was out on the stump over the weekend, and he has breaking news - turns out Black people love Trump! He knows it's true, because he says so? But it seems that Black Americans don't seem to appreciate that Trump is comparing his many indictments to the struggles of Black people in America today.

Crute and Dom are live in Michigan to cover tomorrow's primary election! Haley is taking a hard stab to win over the Michigan voters, but did they even notice? If whitey-righty radio is anything go by, no they did not.
Speaking of Haley, she lost in her home state of South Carolina over the weekend. But that's okay! Haley isn't mad! She actually did very good, trust her! But if she can't even win in her home state, what's she even still doing in the race? Well, Jennifer Rubin says there's plenty of reasons for her to stay in. At the very least, it's making Trump spend more money in the primary election, and making Trump spend more money is never going to be a bad thing.
Finally, Crute hit the streets today to talk to the people about their thoughts on tomorrow's election. The verdict? People seem to not be thinking too terribly much about what's happening tomorrow, at least the one's he spoke with. They're more concerned the evangelizing to Dom.

The former leader of the NRA Wayne LaPierre is in hot water over his ~lavish~ misspending of organization money. Wonder if he took a trip to California... No, Crute took that trip on his own dime, don't worry. But LaPierre was found liable in a lawsuit, in a story landing as we go on the air.
Plus, the Russian disinfo agent who fed fake info to Republicans to get Hunter Biden arrested has himself been double arrested. Can you even do that? Yes, you can. But Republicans don't care, which begs the questions - does the GOP care about America, or Putin?
Oh, and it's Friday, which means we hear all YOUR grievances!

Crute is back in action from his wine mixer in Catalina, and what a day for local news! Both Gableman AND Janel Brandtjen are under fire? It's a happy Friday on the Devils!
To start, remember Adam Steen? That guy who tried to primary Vos in 2022? Well, his campaign may have violated campaign finance laws, thanks to the handy work of Rep. Brandtjen and Donald Trump's own fundraising committee. Talk about election rigging! They love to talk about rigging elections, I suppose it only makes sense that they'd dip their toes in the water. I hope it was worth it for that Toss Vos event... Maggie Daun, host of the Maggie Daun show (soon to air on the Civic Media network 2-4CT...) joins the show to break it down.
You know who else is in hot water? Disgraced former state Supreme Court Justice and election-fraud investigator Michael Gableman! Turns out, he did break open record laws. Republican leaders even admit it! I guess that's what happens when you do all your work at the library...
Oh, and Crute's back from the leftist coast, and shares his stories about how he was tricked into climbing a mountain.

In his last hour before Crute comes back from vacation to give his own... unique takes on the world, Dom is joined by James Santelle to talk the important legal issues in the world today.
Santelle is a former US attorney, and host on the Civic Media Network.
First - there's a bevy of Trump legal cases to talk about, because there's always a bevy of Trump legal cases to talk about. His plans to stall his January 6th case, and it might be working. Chutkan has to move fast to hear the case, otherwise it might get postponed until after the November election.
Meanwhile, in his Alvin Bragg case, a date is set for March 25. Back to Manhattan, we look at Donald Trump's origin story, as Santelle likes to call it. It's not just about the porn star hush money (even if it's more fun to talk about), it's about trying to subvert the 2016 election by covering up a salacious story.
Plus, is it legal to lie to federal investigators about the President's son? Asking for a friend.

It's the last day of an only-Dom Devil's, so he's taking advantage of it by doing what of his favorite things - ranting about religion! The Wisconsin Legislature is sending a constitutional amendment to voters this fall that would ban the closure of churches and other places of worship during a health emergency. Remember that whole COVID thing? It was fine, actually, just go to church anyways!
Then, Michelle Velasquez with Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin joins the show to talk about why they're asking the state Supreme Court to rule once and for all that abortion is legal is Wisconsin. Even if the statute that Republicans say applies to abortion is valid (a Dane County judge says that it's about infanticide, not abortion), she says it would be unconstitutional and should be ignored.

Trump went onto his favorite Foxy News last night, where even he had to censor himself to keep both himself and the network out of trouble. What did he have to say? Well, something about dishwashers I think.
But what is he really talking about? The regular xenophobic, racist diatribes about immigrants. He even made up a new word: migrant crime. Why is it that Republicans hate migrants so much, unless they go into professional sports?
Otherwise, it was more lies on top of more lies. How long will Foxy News allow him to go on their network to just lie? Did the Dominion lawsuit teach them nothing?

Crute's still out til the end of the week, but Dom has reason to celebrate. More people came out to vote in yesterday's primary in Milwaukee than they did in Dane County! 11.5% came out in Milwaukee, to Dane County's 7.9%. Now, Milwaukee had a mayoral primary, and Dane County voters had a few county board seats, but still! Milwaukee on the map!
Officials with the RNC have announced where the security will be stationed later this summer, and it's right outside Dom's studio! He'll be just blocks away, and while it'll be great for covering the circus that will be the RNC, he's not stoked about the Nazi's that'll be running around his own stomping grounds.
Angela Lang with BLOC joins the Devil's to talk about WEC Commissioner and false elector Robert Spindell. He claims that nobody has done more for the Black community than him! Lang disagrees, and says that he needs to go. She has one message for Republicans: FIRE BOB!

Dom continues to hold down the fort while Crute's out slacking, and brings some good news! The Biden Administration is directing billions of dollars toward clean water across the country. Replacing lead lines! Upgrading wastewater systems! Clean water for all! You kind of need that!
Letitia James over in New York is cracking down on Trump, and the state of New York will get paid what he owes them! He has a bit of real estate in New York I think, maybe they'll take that over some cash payments... Either way, Trump did the crimes, and he's going to have to pay the fines.

Crute's away, so Dom will continue to play! And he's out here IGNORING his civic duty! It's local primary election day here in Wisconsin, and Dom didn't go out and vote! It's not his fault, he tried! But it turns out when Republicans make it harder to vote, they are really making it harder to vote. Especially if you just moved. Do as he says and vote!
Meanwhile, California businessman Eric Hovde has officially entered the Senate race here in Wisconsin to try and take down Tammy Baldwin. Good luck with that, Baldwin is a fundraising machine in Wisconsin, and Hovde can't even say what state he's running in in his announcement video.
Republicans who are ACTUALLY from Wisconsin are doing what they do best - tax cuts! They're sending another round of tax cuts up to Governor Evers, because of course they are!

It's a momentous day in Wisconsin, as Governor Tony Evers signs new legislative maps into law. Are they perfect for Democrats? No, but they are fair, and that's a win for Wisconsin! Callers weigh in on the new maps, are they good? Are they bad? Will Gary stay on topic?
Andrew Hitt took to Anderson Cooper and 60 Minutes this weekend to defend himself for his actions serving as a false elector in the 2020 presidential election! He was tricked! He was just scared! Dom, though, is unconvinced. I wonder if he mentioned that he was "scared" or "tricked" when he testified before the January 6th Commission. If only there was, I don't know, a written transcript of what he had to say...

Crute's out to California for the week, which means that Dom is solo-Deviling on today's news. And boy is there news: Governor Tony Evers has signed new legislative maps into law! But will that throw a wrench into the special election that will need to happen in Milwaukee? What about the potential Vos recall? Hard to say, but one thing we can say is that Wisconsin's former gerrymandered-to-all-hell are gone, and Wisconsin is finally on the path to have fair representation.
Vos is calling it a win for Republicans! Ben Wikler is calling it a win for Democrats! Dom is calling it a win for Wisconsin and democracy. Would better maps be even better? Sure, but these will do for today. And Vos was going to be smarmy no matter what, so who cares what he has to say!

Trump decides to give a press conference while the Devil's Advocates are live on the air. He should wait until after the show next time, because that means Dom and Crute can react to it live, MST3K style! He's down another $352 million thanks to the New York case, which Judge Engoron ruled on today.
It seems like he's gonna be pretty strapped for cash here, thanks to the many judgements now ruled against him. That's an issue for anyone, but especially if you're running for president! How many Trump Towers will he need to liquidate just to pay all his court fines...
Oh, and Crute's going to be out next week, going to take some time to visit family in California. Maybe he should pay famous Wisconsinite Eric Hovde a visit... But don't worry, Dom and Producer Nate will be holding down the fort in Wisconsin while Crute's away!

We've all been broke before, who hasn't had to make buttered noodles last a weekend? We've never been as broke as Trump today though! He's been ordered to pay $364 million in fines due to his shady business dealings in New York.
Former head of the Republican Party of Wisconsin and false elector Andrew Hitt is making his way to 60 Minutes this weekend to spin lies about why he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election. He was just scared, you can't blame him! Let's just hope that the 60 Minutes interviewer, whoever that may be, holds him to the fire like he deserves.
Nick Ramos, from the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign and the WI Fair Maps Coalition, joins the Devil's to talk about the new legislative maps, written by Tony Evers, passed by Republicans in the legislature, and awaiting signature by Evers again. Crute's argued most of the week that Evers needs to VETO the maps! Ramos disagrees, saying we need to take what we can get now!

Trump will be going to court for his porn-star-hush-money case at the end of March, and he's not happy about it, to say the least. He was right about one thing, this case is about election interference. The problem is, the election it worked to interfere was the 2016 election, when all these issues were happening in the first place.
Remember when Republicans yelled about Hunter Biden's Ukraine deals for what feels like years? Well, as it turns out, the informant who tipped the FBI on the case... LIED. Now they're under fire from the LA justice department, and are now facing charges for lying to the FBI. Maybe don't accuse the president of corruption if you have no evidence? Just my advice.
Then, Fani Willis takes the stand in Georgia as Trump's lawyers accuse her of misconduct for her prior relationship with a prosecutor. She was having none of the Trumpers accusations, and fires back by calling them liars!

After yesterday's Deep Throat phone call to Crute cluing him into what's really going on with Republicans passing Tony Evers' legislative maps, Crute got ANOTHER Deep Throat call TODAY asking him to pull another 180 and support the maps! But he isn't convinced! Yes, the maps have merit, and Republicans will probably pull some shenanigans, leaving the maps up to the state Supreme Court is still the best move. At least, Dom and Crute think so.
For once, the right is, well, right. George Soros is getting into the media game! He's getting ready to purchase Odyssey, the second biggest radio network in the nation. Dom and Crute just have one question left - they've been accused of taking Soros money for years, can they finally get a piece of that pie? Whatever happens, we know one thing for sure. The CJ's of the world are going to lose their mind.

The George Santos seat in Congress saw a Democrat win in a special election yesterday, bringing a major flip to Mike Johnson's alright tight margins. Is this election a sign of what's to come later this year? Johnson says there's no way it could be a bellwether!
Plus, Jack Smith is asking SCOTUS to allow Trump's trial to continue, and to uphold a ruling that he doesn't have his absolute diplomatic immunity. The public deserves a fair and speedy trial, he says, so even if they do want to give him his immunity, do it now!
And of course, callers agree with the Devils and say that Tony Evers HAS to veto the legislative maps passed by Republicans Tuesday. It's a trap Tony! Don't let them send you down in a red shirt!

Crute got a confidential call today, his very own Deep Throat, that's getting him to pull a 180 and call on Governor Tony Evers to VETO the new legislative maps passed by Vos and the Republicans yesterday. Of course Vos would have some sneaky, ulterior motives. If Evers signs the maps, Crute and his deep throat say, Wisconsin will not have new maps in 2024.
It's not that Tony's maps are bad. It's that passing these maps gives Republicans (cough cough WILL) the chance to challenge them in federal court. Let the Wisconsin Supreme Court have the final say in the maps, and let the maps stay a state issue, and not a federal issue.
Would Tony be called a backsliding snake by Republicans? Yes, but they're calling him that anyways!
Meanwhile, The CapTimes is taking a hard stab at WEC Commissioner Bob Spindell. I wonder why? Could it be when he bragged about suppressing the Black vote in Milwaukee? Or maybe it was his role as a false elector in 2020?

Joe Biden had some harsh words for the former-president today, after Trump's comments that Russia should go ahead and invade any of our NATO allies. Of course he would say that, he's a good friend of Russia! That comes on the heels of the US Senate voting in favor of sending aid to Israel, Ukraine, and other US allies.
Jon Stewart with the Daily Show is, well, back with the Daily Show! The Devils look back and remember how the Daily Show has evolved over the years, and how Republicans seem to think that he and Stephen Colbert are on their side?
Then - should we bring back the draft? One caller sure thinks so, if we're funding wars anyways, we should be sending people to fight in them. Dom and Crute are in agreement for once, saying no, it should not. Who wants to be forced to fight in some political war they don't believe in?

Republicans in the Wisconsin legislature have passed Governor Evers' new legislative maps, completely unchanged from how they were when he sent them to the state Supreme Court. Have Republicans finally thrown in the white flag? Has hell frozen over? Evers has even promised to sign the maps into law, though there is one small caveat with today's maps, is that enough for Evers to try and veto them? Dom thinks he should!
That caveat? The maps won't be in place until this fall, meaning that any special election or recall election that takes place before then would take place under the current maps. Crute's okay with that, because it means that Vos can still be thrown out!
Kenneth Cheese-bro is seeming to be getting in deeper and deeper trouble, with new evidence bringing good ol' Jim Troupis down with him! Cheese-bro was a good lawyer, keeping all of his receipts, showcasing exactly how he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election both here in Wisconsin and across the country.

Today is the deadline for Donald Trump's legal team to request more time for their presidential immunity legal case. Perhaps they're also suffering from a Super Bowl hangover, because they quoted Yogi Berra in their statement. Dom and Crute take your calls on Trump's flimsy case.
Over the weekend, Trump said that if countries in NATO don't "pay their dues," then he wouldn't protect them. Instead, he would encourage Russia to "do whatever the hell they want" to these countries. Does that sound like the voice of the Commander-In-Chief? We sure hope not.
If something were to happen to Joe Biden, there's a clear line of succession. Kamala Harris would step up to the role. However, there is far less clarity on the MAGA side of things. Would Nikki Haley be a shoe-in? It seems unlikely. We take your calls on the matter.
Listen to the Devil's Advocates every weekday from 4:00-6:00 PM across the Civic Media Radio Network. With Dom & Crute, it's never personal, only politics! Call or text, 844-967-2789.
Crute is back from Las Vegas to talk about the Super Bowl! Even the NFL can't escape political ads. A campaign ad for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. that made use of JFK imagery played, and while RFK apologized, he still has the ad on his Twitter page. Beyond that, Dom and Crute talk about some of their favorite commercials from the game.
Civic Media sports reporter Mike Clemens is still in Vegas, so he shares what it was like on the scene at Super Bowl LVIII.
Coming up at the end of the month, The Maggie Daun Show returns, now a two-hour program from 2-4 pm. Read about her storied career in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Also, Mike Gallagher has announced he is not going to run for reelection. Who will fill his place?

Joe Biden will not be charged for keeping classified documents, a special council finds. Comparing it to what Trump did, the council found major difference between what Trump did and what Biden did. Part of it? They had some harsh words for Biden - mostly that he's old! His memory is going! He had an onion on his belt! It was the style at the time!
Trump is making his way to the Treasure Island Casino in Vegas tonight for his victory in the Nevada Caucus tonight. How can we say that so soon? Well, he's the only one who's going to be there. Crute can see the airport from his hotel room, and while he won't be able to go to his victory party, he can at least watch his jet land!

SCOTUS heard oral arguments today about whether or not Trump should appear on the Colorado ballot, and they seem inclined to side with Trump and let him on the ballot. Just as Crute said they would, or at least what Crute says he said. Dom's not so sure about how exactly that conversation went.
Plus - Trump's set to win the caucus in Nevada tonight, mostly because he's the only one there. But his party at Treasure Island will be without Crute, as he's been denied once again. In Iowa? Sure, maybe the rooms were small. But in Vegas? Well, now it's starting to feel a bit personal...
Speaking of Trump, he gave his immediate reaction to today's SCOTUS oral arguments. I know he like's to sue, maybe he should sue the airport next door that seems to fly it's planes right over his house in Mar-a-lago...

Trump's lawyers get to argue before the US Supreme Court tomorrow morning about whether or not he should appear on the Colorado ballot. Civic Media Host Jim Santelle joins the Devil's to give his take on the case. His prognosis? SCOTUS will probably put him back on the ballot, because that's just who they are.
And should Trump have absolute immunity? No, of course not, says Santelle. Not only that, but the matter should be done, and should not be heard by SCOTUS. Will he try to appeal anyways and draw this thing out? Probably, but then the question is - does SCOTUS have enough integrity to ignore it?
Then, Charles Franklin with the Marquette Law School Poll is back with the results of his newest poll, that released today. Biden and Trump are neck and neck! Hayley, not so much. In fact, she's polling even worse in Wisconsin than she did last night in Nevada. Plus, people want the weed in Wisconsin, and our suspicions are confirmed: Robin Vos is the most unpopular politician in the state of Wisconsin.

What's the biggest embarrassment in recent electoral history? It might not be Scott Walker anymore, at least he didn't lose to "none of the above" like Nikki Hayley. The results of the useless Nevada presidential primary are in, and Hayley didn't just lose to "none of these candidates," it got more than double the amount of votes than her. Say what you will about Nikki Hayley, but she still managed to do the impossible by being both the big winner of the Republican primary, and the biggest loser.
Joe Biden, meanwhile, took almost 100,000 votes in yesterday's primary election, continuing to show his strength. "None of these candidates" did place second, above Marianne Williamson, but even she did better than Dean Phillips, who wasn't even on the ballot.
Hayley's big loss, however, doesn't even mean anything, because she was going to be a loser no matter what. Why? Well, because Trump wasn't in the race, and all the delegates will be handed out tomorrow during the Republican caucus. She's out here pulling a Dom, saying that the Republican Party is in disarray!
And speaking of Republican disarray, the House had one hell of a 24 hours. Failing to pass the border bill! Failing to pass aid for Israel and Ukraine! Failing to fraudulently impeach Mayorkas! Don't blame the leadership though, it can't possibly be there fault! How can they control who shows up to vote!

Crute is live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for the Nevada Presidential Primary election. The least important primary election this year! Why? Because Nikki Haley is the only real candidate in the race, and all the delegates will be given out later this week at the Nevada caucus. You know, the one where Trump will be at.
Trump's opting to skip the election and head to the caucus Thursday night, where his only competition is someone who nobody has even heard of. And the best part for Trump? You need a photo ID!
Speaking Trump, his New York case seems to be falling apart even more, and the case is basically over! Allen Weisselberg may have lied on the stand, and Engoron is not happy. Not only can everything he said in defense of Trump now be tossed out, but it might push Engoron over the edge and make Trump pay as much as possible. False in one thing, false in everything.
As we are on the air, the impeachment vote of Mayorkas FAILS in the House. And who voted no? Wisconsin's own Mike Gallagher? What?

Crute has made it safely to Las Vegas, but that's not the top story. A panel of judges has unanimously ruled that Trump does not have absolute immunity in his January 6th case. His diplomatic immunity? It's been revoked.
His only possible hope? SCOTUS. And he only has a week to file his paperwork to appeal before the case moves forward. Let's see how many Supreme Court Justices think the president should have absolute power... Plus, the SCOTUS is getting ready to hear oral arguments in the case on whether or not Trump should appear on the ballot at all. What a great campaign he's running!
Turning to Wisconsin though, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has been, lets say, horsing around. Turns out, Protasiewicz's campaign people was calling Dan Kelly a... horse lover... in her ads throughout most of the campaign. Even Crute has to blush with this story! Dom, not so much, he's pretty open to anything.

Biden beat Crute to Vegas, but that doesn't mean they both can't still have fun in sin city! He gave a big speech to voters over the weekend, and we hear a little of what he had to say. We still have one question though: how much did he put on the Chief's winning the Super Bowl?
Trump wants the world to know - he and Elvis are basically twins. Why does he think this? We don't know, not even his own people think they look similar. Maybe he's more of a Ted Nugent lookalike? Or maybe Larry David, from Curb Your Enthusiasm
Ann Coulter, once a Trump fan, is now seeming to wish him death? At least she said as much on Twitter over the weekend. Turns out, she's a DeSantis gal. What kind of taste is that?
And oh yeah, Crute's going to Vegas! He'll be there the rest of the week to cover the Nevada presidential primary, and only the presidential primary. Okay, maybe the Nevada caucus too, because you know, that's what really matters. That's the one with Trump, and the delegates. It's not his fault he has to go to the casino!

Scott Walker is in the news again, unfortunately, so of course the Devil's have to talk about it. This time, it's for the legislative maps. He's been on the news for those maps before! But this time, it's about how his gerrymandered maps in Wisconsin might finally get thrown out.
Reince Priebus is also in the news the week, unfortunately, calling the conservative's Taylor Swift controversy stupid. Which is something that we could have told you a week ago, but hey, let Reince have his time in the news, he doesn't get a lot that these days.
Robin Vos has lost a key demo in his voting block - those who like comfortable pillows at affordable costs. Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy, was in Wisconsin over the weekend to trash talk Vos and encourage people to impeach him. Republicans are doing fine, why do you ask?
Finally, Crute spent some time on the street today (not walking the street, however), asking people their thoughts on Trump, Taylor Swift, and what ANTIFA actually means.

Trump has been getting wins, with both his D.C. Jan 6 case being postponed and Fani Willis under scrutiny for employing a lover. Will either of those actually help Trump? Crute thinks it will, Dom thinks it won't, they go blow-to-blow right at the top of the show. The callers and the texters overwhelmingly agree with Dom, much to Crute's dismay.
The Fani Willis scandal doesn't change the facts of the case, but it does change the level of respect the Georgia DA's office has from the general public, Crute says. This case is the only hope to actually putting him in jail before the election, he says, and anything that can be done to delay that conviction will only hurt this country.
Finally, Crute has found a way to agree to the bad Bradley on the state Supreme Court, as the court comes to a unanimous decision to allow Dean Phillips on the Wisconsin presidential primary ballot.

Will the Pentagon tell us when they will strike inside Iran? Will the CIA tell us the truth about whether or not Taylor Swift is a psyop? No, they won't, but they have told us that Joe Biden is going to Vegas this weekend. Of course, he'll be leaving right before Crute get's there next Tuesday to cover the presidential primary election in Nevada.
Alan Robinson with Herbal Aspects in Madison joins the Devil's to change his mind about Joe Biden's move to pardon people federally charged with medical marijuana. Were people locked up, and then able to get out? No. But, it does open people up to getting scholarships, and other things blocked by having a felony on their record.
Jonathan Sutter, founder of Traveling Wiki, which provides travel resources for people with autism. He talks about why he decided to start a free resource for helping people fly, and the importance having access to air travel in everyone's lives.
Finally, Crute decides that he needs to punish Dom, Producer Nate, and well, everyone else, and wants to listen to Ben Shapiro's new rap song. Yes, it is that bad. But it's a number one hit!

The national Republican party is in dire straits, as they have their worst fundraising year in decades. Remember, not only due to have to try and reelect Trump, but EVERY Republican in the country. Sorry Tiffany and Van Orden, go look for quarters outside the grocery store. I know! Maybe if they trash Taylor Swift some more, they'll get more people on their side.
There's a grab-bag of stupid political news today. Ben Shapiro has a number one song, and the Devil's would not recommend checking it out. And RFK Jr gets in trouble after posting some spicy comments on an Only Fan's TikTok account. A Kennedy not being faithful to their wife? That's unpossible!
Then, Jennifer Rubin at the Washington Post says that repeated blunders by the House GOP are taking it's toll. Who woulda thought that months of performative politics might have a downside! More and more people are starting to see through their façade, which could spell trouble when they're up for election this fall...
But the worst part of today? Crute trying to beatbox. At least Rico can rap, better than Ben Shapiro at least.

House Republicans continue to push to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas over... something? The border? They continue to try and blame him for what's happening there, but it feels like it's more a way to attack Biden. I mean, they have a bipartisan bill that looks to fix the border, and they haven't even read it.
Republicans are on a mission from God, as they form a convoy to protect the southern border. The bad news? It immediately went wrong, because of course it did. Not enough people showed up, tires were slashed, people were even kicked out. Wanted to form a Godly convoy, guess they ended up with the Devil's convoy instead...
Scott Walker is deciding to weigh in on the whole Taylor Swift conversation, because who doesn't want to hear from him about pop culture! Of course he's scared of her, she wants to get people out to vote, something that will only hurt Republicans. Maybe he wishes she was a bit more like Ted Nugent.

Republicans are trying to hamstring Governor Tony Evers and limit his ability to veto bills. I guess they don't like his work to fund schools for hundreds of years like he did last year... Either way, Republicans want Evers to slice into the woods forever and quit the game.
Crute is in a tequila mood as he gets ready for his trip to Las Vegas next week to cover the Nevada presidential primary. Dom, on the other hand, is also in a tequila mood. He doesn't need to go to the Circus Circus to get in that kind of mood, so instead they look back at the time when they went to Nevada in 2016 to ask John Podesta about medical marijuana.
Paul Fanlund over at the Cap Times has some beef with the Wall Street Journal, after they called Evers a "radical" on the issue of abortion. Earnest, sure, but a radical? I'd say he's a little too grandfatherly to really be a radical, especially because his views on abortion are not radical, but in line with the people of Wisconsin! It's Republicans here in Wisconsin who are comparing pregnant women to animals.
Finally, Wisconsin's best (Derrick Van Orden) is under fire after accusing Elizabeth Warren of having something like $75 million. The problem? She doesn't have that much, and her height is not "U.S. Senator." Maybe he was sharing some of Dom's tequila when he tweeted that.

Republicans need a plan B, says Jennifer Rubin at the Washington Post. You know, just in case Trumps legal cases continue to go the way they are going. Over half of Republicans say they wouldn't vote for someone charged with a felony. Now, if only someone could tell Republican voters that Trump already has been charged with a felony. Quite of a few of them, I hear!
Would you trust Elon Musk to put a microchip in your brain? Dom has no problem with it, hey they've been putting microchips in the vaccines for years, haven't they? (They haven't, but that's what ultra-conservatives have to say).
Plus, Crute has something to celebrate today - Biden's numbers are going up! Okay, they are only slightly up, but the trends are heading in the right direction! Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson have only 4% of support from Democrats, so maybe this is a little happy news for the Biden camp?
John Nichols at the Cap Times thinks so, saying that his visit to Wisconsin last week was one of the smartest moves he's made in the campaign so far. Northwest Wisconsin was once tightly held by Democrats for decades. That changed in 2016, but Biden's announcement that he's helping to replace the Blatnik Bridge in Superior last week, he's working to earn those voters back.

Dom's in the Madison studio, and he and Crute have a gripe with Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers. Why is he calling Dean Phillips' attempt to get on the ballot "ridiculous?" I suppose he get's a pass today, he did veto the gerrymandered maps passed by the Republican legislature.
With the presidential primary in Nevada next week, Republicans are meeting ahead of the election to air their grievances. That's supposed to be on Fridays! But frustrated Republicans, including some from right here in Wisconsin, are upset about how the party is struggling to raise money. Maybe they should try and stop being losers?
Democrats, meanwhile, are crushing the GOP fundraising. That's not us saying that, it's Bruce Murphey over at Urban Milwaukee! Republicans even changed the laws back in 2015, and by those own laws Democrats are burying Republicans in raising funds. As we on the Devil's Advocates call it, that's the Ben Wikler effect.
But does that make Democrats just as bad as Republicans? Is it really just corruption all the way down? Callers weigh in on the issue.

Crute follows the laws, Dom usually follows them, but Republicans in Texas are deciding that they don't have to. That's after they decided to disregard a Supreme Court ruling to take down barbed wire on the border, and instead said that they have a RIGHT to protect themselves. Protect themselves from who? Migrant families trying to swim the Rio Grande into America?
Snoop Dogg, meanwhile, has been smoking something a little different than usual, saying that he has nothing but "love and respect" for Donald Trump. After spending years trashing the former President, what gives? Trump would never drink gin and juice, he's more of a Diet Coke guy...

It might be a Monday, but Crute and Dom have a grievance already: why are Democrats working to Dean Phillips off the primary ballot in Wisconsin? We all know what the results are going to be, but why can't people have a choice other than the incumbent President? And where is that directive coming from? Either way, Phillips is going to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to ask them to put him on the ballot.
And remember when Hillary came to Wisconsin, poured a terrible beer, then ignored the state for the rest of the year? Dom and Crute remember, and so does Rolling Stone Magazine, who listed Hilary failing to campaign in Wisconsin as their number 5 biggest political blunder in the past 50 years.
What are some of the other top political blunders on the past 50 years? Will it be whoever decides to run against Tammy Baldwin this fall? Okay maybe not of all politics, but it will be a pathetic decision regardless.

It's a grievance filled Friday, as we take your calls to air all sorts of sorts of issues over the air. Some are mad that we have to talk about the border when we could be talking about the great state of the economy. Some have concerns about the state of executions in America after what happened last night in Alabama. Still some just want to bitch about Wisconsin Republicans. Hell, we do that every day!
But the main conversation topic of the day is the judgement against Trump today in the E. Jean Carroll trial. The callers are against Trump today, saying it's too low. Crute has a complaint though, as he fishes for colorful analogies.
Then - AI porn. Taylor Swift is quickly working to crack down on images created with AI that show her in.. compromising positions. But is it really her, and if it isn't is it immoral? Crute and Dom are on slightly opposite sides, but both agree that they don't want to see any AI porn of either of them. Neither doesn't anyone else on the planet.

Breaking news as we get on the air, as Trump is ordered to pay $83 million in damages to E. Jean Carroll. Is it as much as Crute thought he would have to pay? No. Is it enough to finally get him to shut up and stop spreading lies about her? Also no. But it'll still hurt.
While Trump is having a bad day, so is his attorney Habba. The judge threatened to send HER to jail today for refusing to shut up during the trial. Like client like attorney I guess?
And taking your calls, and everyone has to ask: would another Republican other than Trump beat Biden? Would they have any different policy decisions than Trump? Crute thinks that it's strictly an issue with Trump. The callers don't quite agree.

Morning Cannoli's (or however it's grammatically correct) host Jim Santelle joins the Devil's in the happier happy hour to talk all things Trump trial.
Trump testified in the E Jean Carroll case today. Why? He lasted all of three minutes before the judge cut him off and told him to buzz off, so why was he there? Can't be a campaign speech, because there was no audio or video recording of his testimony!
While he claims he's never even met E Jean Carroll, prior testimony seems to disagree. In fact, the jury got to hear audio from last year where he confused her with his own ex-wife. Whoops!
Is it fair to call Trump psychotic? Or to attribute his failings on some mental condition. Crute says no, because that's not fair to people who do suffer from a mental condition, and gives Trump an out. Dom, though, points out that White House staff asked for a psychological evaluation all the way back in 2017.

Joe Biden is back in Wisconsin today, hanging out with Governor Tony Evers and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to talk bridges. The Blatnik Bridge, to be precise, connecting Superior to Duluth. It's not an infrastructure week, it's an infrastructure year.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin Republicans passed a doom bill to ban abortions after 14 weeks today. It's going to get a veto from Evers, he's said as much. Why the exercise in futility? Stupid politics, of course. It's really the only thing they're good for.
Peter Navarro is going to jail for defying a congressional subpoena on the investigation into January 6th. I wonder if Steve Bannon is looking for a roommate... Anyways, he's complaining that he shouldn't have to go to jail, because he never should have needed to testify to begin with! The protesters outside the courthouse certainly think that he should.
Finally, Dom has reason to celebrate today: Crute has finally stopped to his level and is lowering the state of the political discourse!

Why is it that Donald Trump is okay with quick election results when he wins? That's what happened when he won New Hampshire last night. Didn't feel like staging an insurrection then? Don't feel like harassing election workers when you win?
Paul Fanlund with the CapTimes has a new piece out, saying that he's tired of being told to Trumpsters all the time. The media, he says, doesn't want to accept the truth that Trumpsters actually like it when he uses violent and fascistic rhetoric. If our callers are anything to go by, he may be onto something...
Derrick Van Orden is looking like he's in trouble in his race coming up in November. Democrats look like they may actually be caring about his seat this time around! And while they're putting on a hell of a campaign, he's giving away Molson Coors beers at 10AM and giving speeches about milk.
AND Maggie Daun is hosting her show from Madison today, so of course we had to have her on the show! She talks about Nikki Haley's campaign, and when she's going to be dropping out. Plus, is Biden guaranteed a win if he's up against Trump in November? Crute says yes, but Maggie says not so fast...

Crute and Dom have a confession to make... they didn't watch Governor Evers' State of the State address last night. Crute didn't even watch the Badger game yesterday! Didn't he spend all of yesterday bitching about Evers counterprogramming the Badger game?
One day after the Bucks fire their head coach, the Packers drop a bombshell today and Fire Joe Barry! Two days, two firings. But Crute has to say, when talking with Civic Media Sports Reporter Mike Clemens yesterday, Crute called who the new coach would be! Clemens comes back onto the Devil's today to talk about the firing of Joe Barry.
And oh yeah, the New Hampshire primaries were yesterday! Trump won, of course, but did Haley come within spitting distance? Kind of. Trump was up by 11 points over Haley, which is enough to keep Trump safe, but not enough for her to immediately drop out. Hey, at least Biden's write-in campaign got more votes yesterday than Trump did in Iowa!

With voters in New Hampshire hitting the polls for today's GOP primary, Dom has a question - how much would Haley have to lose by in order to drop out? Single digits? 20 points? 40 points? Will anyone in the race actually decline to endorse Trump at the RNC in Milwaukee?
Plus, is it a mistake for Joe Biden to skip appearing on the ballot in New Hampshire today? Dom says no, Biden is going to be the nominee, so why bother campaigning there until the general election. Crute though, says that the media's story tomorrow is going to say "Biden only gets 50,000 write in votes, Republicans get 300,000." Is it fair? No, but that won't stop the media from saying it anyways. And with Biden's approval rating where it is, that could be enough to hurt him later down the line.
And sticking with Biden and his approval ratings, is it a mistake that no real Democrat is working to primary him? Sure, they probably wouldn't win, but could it make him a better candidate in the general? If you don't like Joe Biden, and his approval numbers say that a lot of people don't, is a stronger dislike of Trump enough to get you out to vote for him in November?

It's the day Nikki Haley has been waiting for - the New Hampshire primary? Will she win? Will she a least come within spitting distance of Trump? What will it take for her to drop out? Crute hopes she stays in a little while longer, he's got travel plans to follow some primaries later this spring, and there's no way he isn't going to Vegas for the Nevada primary...
Civic Media Sports Reporter Mike Clemens joins the show to talk about the firing of Bucks coach Adrian Griffin just before we go on the air. After just 43 games as head coach, he couldn't even last as long as Nikki Haley! Clemens gives his thoughts on who should be the Bucks newest head coach.
Governor Tony Evers is set to give his State of the State address tonight at 7, and Crute has a problem with that. Mostly because the Badgers play Minnesota tonight! Sure, it's college basketball, but football is done for Crute (though not Dom), so what other sport is he supposed to watch! A Wisconsin Governor counterprogramming the Badgers? Dom thinks it's no problem. Crute? Less so.
Finally, Republicans and Democrats? Being civil? Over new maps? In Wisconsin? Vos vows that it can't be so, but that may not be the case. Turns out, Republicans approached the Dems to try and get new maps in place ahead of the state Supreme Court's decision working to draw new maps. Let's see if this one will work...

Dr. Kristin Lyerly joins the Devil's on the 51st anniversary of the Roe v Wade Supreme Court ruling, that was overturned in 2022 by the Dobbs decision. Dr. Lyerly talks about the current state of reproductive health care in Wisconsin, and why she's been working in Minnesota.
Plus, people say that Biden is too old, but Trump is not that much younger than him! And say what you will about Biden, but at least he isn't blaming Nikki Haley for the lack of security on January 6th! Spoiler alert: Trump is the one blaming Haley, and seeming to confuse her with Nancy Pelosi.
And when was the last time you took a cognitive test? Trump seems to take them all the time, he can identify an elephant at the drop of a hat! And if you ask Trump, he could even take a cognitive test better than Nikki Haley! Wonder when the last time Haley had a head injury was...

The VEEP came to Wisconsin today, so you know Crute had to be in the room where it happens to watch her talk! Kamala Harris is kicking off her cross-country tour touting reproductive rights on the 51st anniversary of the Roe v Wade ruling. Crute had a front row seat for the who's-who of Wisconsin Democrats.
We hear directly from the Vice President, and get the first-hand account of the event from Crute. The protests! The crowd! The delays! All the juicy details about Harris' event today, less than a year from the presidential election.

Dom is hot with grievances on a Friday, saying that corporations are driving inflation across the country. And they are! So remember, when you're paying extra for diapers, Procter & Gamble are to blame. Crute, meanwhile, has some good news! About Joe Biden even! He's cancelling even more student loans. But oh, they're for people in selfish professions, like teachers and fire fighters...
Then, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that enthusiasm to vote amongst Black voters in Milwaukee is low. Earl Ingram Jr., host of the Earl Ingram Show, joins the Devils to talk about Black voters in Milwaukee. With VP Kamala Harris coming to Waukesha on Monday, Earl Ingram talks about the importance of Harris coming to Wisconsin ahead of November's election.
Finally, Crute listened to only hair metal ballads all the way up to his cabin today, and DEMANDS that today is hair metal ballads and only hair metal ballads today.

Crute is getting ready for the weekend early, broadcasting live from his cabin alongside his dog, who just wants to bury his bone! But that's not his real grievance this Friday, it's that Scott Walker is still being talked about! At least he's being discussed as running one of the worst presidential campaigns of all time...
Alan Robinson, cofounder of Herbal Aspects, helps us figure out what's going on with the medical marijuana bills being discussed by Wisconsin Republicans. Would we be getting our weed from the DMV? Is this just a political stunt? The answer to both of those questions seems to be: yes.
And this Monday is the anniversary of the Roe v Wade ruling in 1973. Vice President Kamala Harris is coming to Wisconsin to kick off a nationwide reproductive rights tour. What are Republicans in Wisconsin doing? Holding a hearing to restrict abortion access, because of course they are!

Crute has an early grievance - how come there isn't any good news about Joe Biden? After Googling "Good News for Joe Biden," the last thing to show up? November. Why isn't anybody talking about the good things that Biden has done?
Then, why do so many conservatives think Michelle Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee for president in November? Just because she was married to a president? No shade to Michelle Obama, but if something were to happen to Joe Biden, wouldn't the VP be the next in line? Is this just Q-Anon nonsense?

Wisconsin's top GOP conspiracy theorist Janel Brandtjen get's rebuffed by her own party, getting called a grifter by Rep. Tyler August. Now Vos may not like what Brandtjen is slinging, but who does he have to blame but himself! He's the one elevated her! But Crute has a bad thought, what would those kids between Brandtjen and August look like...?
He's asking because love is in the air on today's Devil's Advocates! Chad Speight with Chad's Design Build joins the show to spread the love, and encourage people to focus not on name calling, and more on loving your neighbor. Plus, Chad's Design Build is the sponsor for the Fall in Love with Democracy Tour, and Crute outlines the next stop on the tour: Viva Las Vegas!
Being nice only goes so far sometimes though, and callers have to ask: why is it okay for conservatives to insult liberals, but they get so upset when liberals try and sling it back? They're the ones who stormed the capitol and hate vaccines!
Oh, and all of Wisconsin's GOP congressmen voted to shut down the government but voted against a continuing resolution to fund the government. Do those six people really represent 75% of Wisconsin? If only there was some effort to change that...

Trump is back in the courtroom once again, this time for defaming E. Jean Carroll. Trump even pulled a Dom, and got chastised by the judge for being disruptive during court. Dom's been told to quiet down plenty of times!
Then, callers weigh in on whether or not it's okay to be mean to Republicans. CJ sure doesn't think we should be! But of course he'd say that, he's CJ.
And it seems like everyone around Trump is disliked, even his lawyers! But wait, is it mean to call someone a hack lawyer?

The liberal Elias Law Group has filed a new lawsuit with the Wisconsin Supreme Court looking to overturn the state's congressional maps. Republicans hold six of the state's eight congressional seats, meaning that Dom has to do some math on the radio to figure out if that's a lot or not.
Republicans say that they hold so many seats because they have great policies. But Grothman? Van Orden? Are they really the best Wisconsin can offer?
Speaking of maps, the proposed legislative maps were released last week. While most of the maps reduce Republican's gerrymandered control by significant margins, what did Republicans submit? Keeping the status quo, or course!
Then, politics have become a game of us vs them, should we be talking the same trash to Republicans as they do to us? Is it fair to call them MAGA-ets? Or Deplorables? It's time for a Devil's debate.

Bill Press, host of the Bill Press Pod, joins the Devils fresh off of jury duty. And no, it was Trump's E. Jean Carroll trial today. Press helps the Devils find out whether or sitting President can be charged, or if they have a get-out-of-the-courtroom free card.
Plus, Press gives his thoughts on yesterday's caucuses. He says that yesterday only shows that Republicans will continue to bend the knee to the supreme Republican overlord. And do the other primaries even matter at this point?
But you know who yesterday was good for? Joe Biden, surprisingly. At least, that's according to pundits, who say that Trump going up against Biden in November can only mean good things for Democrats, as undecided voters and independents ask themselves: do they really want another four years of Trump?

Crute and Dom are back in Madison after their trip to Dubuque, Iowa for the Iowa Caucuses, where the final results were just about what everyone expected. Trump blows everyone else out of the water, and even though DeSantis came in second, does it really matter? Who cares, how was the meatloaf?
The boys recount their tales of attending one of the caucuses yesterday, and Crute is calling it RIGGED!!! Okay not really, but the results were called before the team captains had completed their speeches in Dubuque. Was it rigged, or is that just what happens when Trump is the belle of the ball and takes so many votes so fast? Don't worry, even Trump's people think it's rigged!
That doesn't matter to people like Vivek Ramaswamy or Asa Hutchinson though, because they're already out of the race. At least one of them has already backed Trump, I'll let you guess which one.
At the end of the day, there is really just one question remaining. If Trump is found guilty, either in a civil case or of one of the many felonies he's charged with, would that matter to Republicans, and would he still be the nominee? I mean, he's back in court again today, and polling shows that GOP voters just don't care, and that him being found guilty will only make them more likely to vote for him.

The Iowa Caucus is just hours away, and Dom and Crute are at the Shot Tower Inn in Dubuque to talk with voters and get a feel of how voters are feeling today. They spend some time looking back at the past few decades of caucuses, and wonder if Republicans winning Iowa is actually important at the end of the day.
Crute makes some bold predictions: Trump is going to win Iowa tonight. Okay, that isn't a bold prediction, but calling for DeSantis to drop out tomorrow morning sure is. A better question might be, is DeSantis another Scott Walker? Probably!

It's Iowa Caucus day, and Crute and Dom make their way to the Shot Tower Inn in Dubuque to talk with voters and see what they can learn at the first GOP presidential contest of 2024. How much will Trump win by? Will Ron DeSantis cry today? Does anyone still care about Ramaswamy? How's the meatloaf in Iowa?
Before going to the Shot Tower Inn, the Devil's took a trip to a local diner to ask people who they'll be caucusing for tonight. Some are never-Trumpers, others say we had it made when Trump was President. Either way, these are the people going to tonight's caucuses.
And while we don't love taking a look at the polling, it is the start of the horse race, and it isn't looking great for Biden. While his favorability continues to fall, Trump continues to sit as the GOP frontrunner, and Haley sits at the best against Biden in the general election.

Even as he suffers from a weather-induced power outage, Jim Santelle joins the show tonight for some candlelight cannoli! As an attorney, he tells us all about Donald Trump's latest legal troubles. It appears that Trump's lawyers have dug themselves into a hole, making absolutely nonsensical and contradictory arguments to drag out the legal process.
As we air the grievances this Friday, Crute reminds us that it is indeed possible to die while shoveling snow. Dom asks what kids are for if not to shovel snow, and the Devils take your calls on snow and other topics.

To make amends for offending listeners yesterday, Crute has promised to take it easy on the controversy today. To kick it off, Crute brings us an opinion article from The Raw Story on the apparent incompetence of modern news media.
As always on Fridays, Alan Robinson of Herbal Aspect joins us for some 4:20 facts! This week, there's a lot to talk about, as state Republicans have created a bill to legalize medicinal marijuana in Wisconsin. As an industry expert, Alan weighs in on what he feels is a terrible bill.
Democratic strategist Joe Zepecki returns to the show! He lets us know what to expect this Monday at the Iowa caucus. Will the extreme weather change the results? Will those results in turn change expectations for November's election? Tune in to find out!

Trump's town hall last night blew the CNN debate out of the water, both in presentation and in viewers. We expect Fox News not to fact check anything, the least CNN could do was fact check Haley and DeSantis!
But did Trump actually look good? Crute thinks so, thanks to the lack of a fact check, he could say anything he wanted regardless of whether he was on something or not.
Dom very passionately disagrees, and that what Trump was saying was so incomprehensible that there is nothing that anybody could see of value in what he's say.
But is "Weekend at Bernies"-ing Joe Biden enough for him to beat Trump in November? Can Biden even hold a town hall style interview?

Crute has made it out alive for his first trip to Iowa this month, and he brings with him a slew of stories of his time attending the CNN debate last night. Namely, where he's taking Dom for meatloaf when they return to Iowa for the caucus next Monday.
Trump had a busy 24 hours, starting with his town hall counter-programming on Fox News last night, then spouting off at his New York trial today. Something about Exxon leaving New York? You mean when they left in the 1980s?
With a snow storm yesterday, another one tomorrow, and then a bitter cold snap bringing bitter cold weather on Monday, will that have any impact on caucus votes on Monday? Dom and Crute will have to see for themselves when to head to Dubuque next week.
And while we love the idea of recalling Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, regardless of who's doing it, it's run into a roadblock just one day after being filed. Because the state Supreme Court ruled to draw new legislative maps last year, Vos doesn't know what his district is going to look like, and thus can't run in anything until those maps are figured out. Who would have thought that Vos' ass would be saved by the woke Supreme Court's maps decision!

Crute risked life and limb to get to Des Moines to make it in the room where CNN's GOP presidential primary debate is taking place tonight, and what does he get? He get's told to shut his trap! That's not the first time Crute's been told to quiet down.
Speaking of the debate, who even is watching the debate tonight? Who knows, but one things for sure, if DeSantis can't blow Haley out of the water, that might be the end of his campaign. Trump sure won't be watching, he's got his own counter-programming on the Foxy News. Christie might be watching, but who cares, he quit!
And when Trump does win the nomination (let's face it), who will be his VP pick? Well, that depends. Who's the hottest Republican out there today? Dom's always loved his MTG, but CJ has his own pick for hottest Republican, hailing all the way from beautiful South Dakota.
Oh, and Ron Johnson said something stupid today. What else is new?

Crute braved the treacherous highways to get to Drake University in Iowa to make it into the spin room for tonight's GOP debate on CNN. There's just one problem. He doesn't really want to be there. Why would he want to be there! All there is is Meatball Ron and Birdbrain Nikki Haley! Still, he made it alive, so he may as well do some real work today...
Before the debate even BEGINS, it's being upstaged. Trump is set to talk with Fox News tonight as counter-programming, and the GOP presidential primary has it's newest loser! Chris Christie is set to announce that he's dropping out of the race in New Hampshire. Not even CNN is airing pre-debate coverage, as the spotlight is being shined on way more important things.
Since Crute has to drive to Iowa anyways, he may as well take a listen to whatever sort of righty-whitey radio the great corn state has to offer. It's about what you'd expect: a lot of immigrant hate, a lot of Trump ads, and some screaming about Hunter Biden. Sounds like CJ!
Back home, Robin Vos is in some hot water with the HOT Government weirdos, they're looking to impeach his ass! Do we love HOT Government? Not at all, they've pushed election disinformation more than anyone. But do we love Vos getting impeached? Of course we do!

It's a snowy Tuesday, which is the perfect weather for listening to legal arguments as to why Trump can be prosecuted, and why presidential immunity is bogus in the face of overturning the election. Can Trump actually shoot someone on fifth avenue? A panel of DC judges sure don't seem to think so.
Trump is trying to claim that he won some very big and very powerful points today. Except we listened to the arguments, and can't seem to find those points. In fact, it seems like their arguments just fall apart!
Plus, Trump ally Roger Stone is reported to have been caught on tape calling for the assassination of two Democratic lawmakers. Is this what Trump meant when he said he could kill someone on fifth avenue? Or maybe just offer someone else a pardon once they do it for them.

It's snowmageddon! Okay, not really, at least not in Madison, and definitely not in Milwaukee. But still, it's a snowy Tuesday, which means it's the perfect day to sit down and read through some legal documents!
Trump's lawyers were in court today, arguing for his presidential immunity while trying to overthrow the election. Live mics were allowed this time around, which means that we get to hear every little stupid detail Trump's lawyers lay out.
Crute is preparing to make the trek to Iowa tomorrow, where he will be heading to the CNN GOP debate. Neither of the two people on stage tomorrow are likely to be president, but that doesn't mean that the hotel bar won't be busy with politicos!

Alex Jones may actually be at least partly right for once, as new details about Jeff Epstein come out. Is Bill Clinton's name on there? Yes, but what the right seem to look past is that Trump is also on that list!
Plus, Crute is trying to get into the spin room for Wednesday's GOP debate, and he thinks that, if he were to go one-on-one with him, he could probably make Ron DeSantis cry. Meanwhile, Trump is turning his focus onto Nikki Haley.
Rick Smith, Teamster and host of the Rick Smith show, joins the Devil's to talk about Teamsters meeting with Trump. Should we be concerned? No, the Teamsters meet with candidates all the time. The issue is Sean O'Brien, President of the Teamsters, taking a trip down to MAGA-Lago, and taking an enthusiastic picture with Trump himself.

Republicans in Wisconsin has finally decided that it's time to bring medical marijuana in Wisconsin. Is the bill good? Not really! Can you smoke it? Of course not! And the real kicker? The state of Wisconsin itself would be in charge of sell you your weed through state-run dispensaries!
And, this Wednesday marks the beginning of the 2024 Fall in Love with Democracy Tour, as Crute heads to Iowa for the final "alternative to Trump" CNN debate ahead of next week's caucuses. Are the Devil's on Trump's hit list, and will Crute be able to see him and Ben Carson the next day in Iowa? Only time will tell!

Jim Santelle with the Morning Canollis joins the Devil's to break down a plethora of January 6th related news. Has Trump faced any accountability yet for inciting the riot in DC three years ago? No, says Santelle, and neither has any of the others who help orchestrate the insurrection. Not even Chesebro is facing charges here in Wisconsin! What are we doing!?!
Then, Santelle explains why Trump's presidential immunity argument is bogus. With the courts set to begin hearing arguments over "presidential immunity" next week, Santelle says that it needs to go to SCOTUS fast, just so they can throw it out ASAP.
Plus, former Green Bay golden boy Aaron Rodgers is back in hot water after accusing Jimmy Kimmel of going to Epstein's island. With Kimmel now threatening to sue Rodgers, the Devil's read up about the many inflammatory things Rodgers has said in recent years. Hey, he can always team up with the MyPillow guy!

Tomorrow is the three-year anniversary of the insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6th, and Joe Biden is talking at Valley Forge today with some very sharp language about the state of Democracy with the last anniversary of the insurrection before this fall's presidential election.
Then, Alan Robinson, co-founder of Herbal Aspects, joins the show to talk about the recent rumblings about medical marijuana legislation coming down the pipeline. While he doesn't want to harsh anyone's buzz, he says that anything put forward by Republicans will be sure to contain a poison pill.
Former Dane County Sheriff Dave Mahoney joins the Devil's to talk about his op-ed in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on January 6th. As someone who oversaw a massive peaceful protest himself during Act 10, he says he's confident that he can say that the insurrection was not a peaceful protest.
And of course, it's Friday, which means YOUR grievances get on the air. Crute has one: Producer Nate decided to ruin a good Friday by playing Nickleback...

Dems in the House put out a report saying that Trump businesses made millions of dollars from foreign governments while he was President. I thought Biden was supposed to be the one to do that! While Republicans have found no evidence of Biden profiting while President, they say that the new Trump details aren't even relevant.
Plus a January 6 insurrectionist is asking to take a break and head to Cancun. It won't even be his first overseas trip since being charged, so I hope he got flight insurance!
Then, two more states try to keep Trump off the ballot. This time, it's New Hampshire and Illinois, where voters are hoping to join up with Colorado and Maine.
And of course, the Devil's take YOUR phone calls on everything on Trump's eligibility on the ballot, to Epstein's flight logs.

Crute takes a field trip to the state Capitol building, where Congressman Mark Pocan holds a press conference to talk about a variety of topics.
First, Pocan gives his thoughts on yesterday's US-Mexico border photo op by Republicans. Of course his colleague Van Orden was there! As Ron Johnson works to block funding to Ukraine and Israel over border funding, Pocan says that he thinks RoJo just doesn't want to work...
Then, Pocan gives his on-the-ground report of what he saw on January 6, 2021. With the three-year anniversary just around the corner, Pocan helps set the record straight on whether or not the crowds were violent that day (they were).
Sticking with January 6, retired Rear Admiral Michael Smith joins the Devil's to talk about why he is speaking out about that day. He says that, while military officers are usually supposed to stay out of politics, January 6 wasn't just simple politics, as he warns about why he's concerned if Trump gets elected once again.

Trump has filed an appeal against the ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court, and Crute has some questions about the 14th amendment specifically. Will the SCOTUS agree with the Colorado Supreme Court?
And while Trump is invited to the presidential debate later this month, he won't be there. He'll have his own counterprogramming instead! He'll even be in Iowa on January 6th, and so will Crute!
And of course, as the Devils are talking about Trump, the conservative callers have to weigh in with their talking points. Don't worry, Dom talks over them most of the time.
Plus, GOP leaders have made their way down to the southern border. Van Orden had so much luck "investigating" what happened in Israel, I'm sure he'll do a great job at the border!

The Wisconsin State Capitol building got a phony bomb threat today, alongside state capitol's across the entire country. Crute says it's MAGA, even if MAGA is going to blame ANTIFA. Either way, the Wisconsin capitol wasn't even evacuated, leaving Dom concerned for Crute's safety as he sits just two blocks from the building.
And speaking of dropping bombs, Trump's team is dropping their own bomb as he tries to appeal for presidential immunity. Will a social media post from an anonymous poster claiming that Trump won in 2020 hold up in court? Probably not.
Speaking of Trump, the Washington Post reports as we get on the air the Trump wants the US Supreme Court to make sure that he is on every primary ballot across the country. Problem is, he isn't arguing that he didn't do an insurrection! You probably want to fight the facts of a case if you want it to be overturned.
Peter Barca, Wisconsin's Secretary of the Department of Revenue, joins the Devils to talk about his time in the Legislature, ball park funding, and budget surpluses.

We're coming up on the three-year anniversary of the January 6th Insurrection. Does Trump's actions that day still have influence over voters today? Recent polling says no, as GOP voters increasingly downplay the events of that day, and more and more say that the insurrectionists were mostly peaceful, and any violence was brought on by law enforcement.
So how do Democrats move forward? While a third of voters across the country still don't think Biden won in 2020, can Biden get by without their vote? Should he care that a third of voters don't think he won? Should we?
Plus, what does an actual conservative look like? Jennifer Rubin at the Washington Post says it ain't Trump, looking at those Republicans who filed an amicus brief saying that no, he does not get presidential immunity.

It's a new year, and Dom is back from his time away from radio, and Crute has to remind him about everything that's happened in the past week. Not only did we get new Chesebro audio throwing RoJo under the bus, but we found out we've got ourselves a porn star chancellor!
Crute got up early News Years Day to hit the CSPAN to talk about Wisconsin politics and talk radio. Watch his full interview here.
Then Crute has to remind Dom about the big news that broke just before we went on the air on Thursday: the exclusive audio obtained by CNN of Chesebro talking with Michigan prosecutors. There, he outlines RoJo's attempts to charter a jet to fly the alternate electors to DC in order to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Plus, the Devils take your phone calls and new year grips, mostly about Ron Johnson.

With the last live show of 2023, it's time to look at the greatest winter of 2023! There was some amazing news both in Wisconsin and across the country this year, and it's time to look at just a few of the winners.
Is the winner the Wisconsin Supreme Court, with it's newest justice Janet Protasiewicz? Or is it democracy itself? Or are they hand in hand?
Maybe it was Civic Media itself for bringing non-right wing talk radio to Wisconsin?
Or was it Joe Gow for getting FIRED as chancellor of UW La Crosse for doing porn! Okay, it probably isn't Gow.

Crute and Producer Nate were ready to have a nice, light show before the New Year, but this is Wisconsin! We aren't allowed slow news days!
Exclusive audio obtained by CNN shows Kenneth Chesebro continuing to talk to prosecutors about his role in trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election in favor of Donald Trump. The new audio is a real doozy, showing that not only did Ron Johnson help fly the fake elector documents saying that Wisconsin was Trump country, but that he may be talking with WI AG Josh Kaul about the false electors scheme!
But RoJo didn't just get a jet for the fake elector documents, but Chesebro's audio shows that the paperwork was delivered to him, though indirectly, and was even willing to take the next step. Oh, and Rudy get's thrown under the bus too. It's a win-win!

Crute continues his search for the biggest loser of 2023, with a whole slew of real losers this year!
Was it the Red Wave that was projected during this year's spring election that never happened? Or was it the reincarnation of Wanker, Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis? It could be, though a host of conservative callers have their own point of view. Don't worry, Crute argues with all of them.
Then, breaking while the show is on the air, former US Senator and Milwaukee Bucks owner Herb Kohl has passed away at age 88. Crute tells his only Herb Kohl story he has about he got into a free Bucks game fresh out of college.
Then at the end of the show, Packers Reporter Mike Clemens joins the show to break down this weekend's Packers game, and what happened last weekend with Jaire Alexander.

2023 is coming to a close, which means that it's time to look back and reflect on the year behind us. Specifically, let's look back all of the losers of the past year. Oh yeah, there were a lot of them!
Dom isn't in the running, even though he isn't in again today, but Crute and Producer Nate want to find out who was the biggest loser of them all. Was it the Republican's pro-life policies that cost them election after election across the country? Or maybe the pundits who thought that the Dobbs decision wouldn't have much effect on elections?
Or is it Mike Pillow? Or maybe Rudy? Both faced some pretty bad legal judgements this year, and both keep doubling down on their now-proven false claims.
Plus, Jaire Alexander is SUSPENDED from this Sunday's Packers game over his coin toss antics. But Crute doesn't consider him a loser for getting suspended, that would be hypocritical!

It's the day after Christmas, and the candidates for president are all being civil on social media with their well wishes... well, except Trump that is, who wishes us to ROT IN HELL. Merry Christmas you rotten animal!
Plus: the most important political news of the year, or at least the week. Does Trump smell? Does he need better Depends? The Lincoln Project sure thinks so, and Crute, though he's never been downwind of him, can believe it.
And while Trump is having a nice, peaceful Christmas, Ron Johnson is having an equally sane Christmas Eve by going on Fox News. When you have to tell everyone that you're not a racist, I got some bad news for you.

It's a Dom-less Tuesday, as he takes the week off to celebrate the holidays. But that doesn't mean there isn't new news! Crute and Producer Nate are live in-studio breaking down some potential new news in the Supreme Court ruling to redraw the state's legislative maps.
Robin Vos says that he wants to take the case to the US Supreme Court. Do they have any reason to take up the case? Probably not, Crute says, but that won't stop Vos from taking a chance to attack Protasiewicz. He'll never pass up that opportunity!
And speaking of Vos, he got a write-up in The Guardian, calling him Wisconsin's very own Prince of Darkness. Somebody better warn Ozzy!

Morning Cannoli's host Jim Santelle joins the Devil's to talk all things law.
Starting with the biggest news of the day - should the US Supreme Court weigh on the the Wisconsin Supreme Court's ruling to redraw the legislative maps? If the maps have been problematic for years, why now?
Then, Jim help us figure out what's going on the Trump's immunity case. With the Supreme Court refusing to take up the case immediately, is it possible to stick with that March trial date?
Plus, there's no shortage of legal cases for the boys to talk about, and Jim helps them out with all of them. Even Stormy Daniels could be back in the news!

Well it's a slow news day in the Devil's studio, and there really isn't too much going on...
What are we talking about? The State Supreme Court rules just before we go on the air that 2024 will see new legislative maps. It's a Festivus miracle! And Justice Ziegler is feeling the bah humbug.
Vos is also feeling the bah humbug, saying on Twitter (or X) that the US Supreme Court will have the final word. But will they really?

The racist-car boys are at it again, except this time it might land them in jail. Luke Duke has been up to no good calling for President Biden to be publicly hung, which is about what you'd expect from someone who used to drive around in a confederate flag-covered car.
Plus, Dom and Crute continue to hear your best "Rudy's so broke" jokes.

Donald Trump and Crute are not only on a first name basis, but on a Christian name basis! Crute reads an email from Trump after he was taken off the Colorado ballot, typos and all.
Then, it's time for a Devil's debate: should Donald Trump be thrown off the ballot in Colorado? Crute has to choke himself to say yes, he should! Will it cause further politicization down the line, Crute thinks so!
Dom, meanwhile, says that Trump participated in an insurrection! Of course he should be off the ballot! It's right there in the constitution!
Will their friendship ever survive!?! Will the texters ever forgive Crute?!? We're supposed to go on the air again tomorrow, so find out then!

President Biden is in the 414 today, and although he is maybe not the most... dynamic speaker, at least he isn't parroting Nazis! While Biden spent his time talking about replacing lead pipes and uplifting Black businesses, Trump spends his time insisting that he's never read Mein Kampf. Maybe just the cliff notes...
Earl Ingram Jr., host of the Earl Ingram Show on the Civic Media network, was there in person (for Biden, not for Trump, or for LBJ), and gives his thoughts on today's speech.

Dom and Crute are all about freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and ultimately, the freedom to be yourself without imposing your will on others. The current Republican party leadership seeks only the freedom to limit yours through book bans and outlawing marriage equality. Dom and Crute duke it out over the limits of free speech.
Breaking news: Patrick Marley of The Washington Post has published a new article on Donald Trump's place-- or lack thereof-- in the 2024 election. Trump's eligibility to be on a presidential ballot is being challenged and denied, beginning in Colorado. This may be the first domino in the chain that leads to the end of his run.

Check out the article at The Hill here. According to reporting from Raw Story, Jenna Ellis is in much the same situation.
Ron DeSantis appears to be following in the footsteps of Scott Walker as his presidential campaign drops down the tubes. He's even building on Walker's campaign finance blunders, straddling the line of legality. Read more here.

It's a day that ends in "y", which means Trump's probably said something deeply disturbing and offensive. This time, he echoes Adolf Hitler with his rhetoric on immigrants. Which begs the question, is it worse for Trump to have read Mein Kampf, or worse if he hasn't and still says these things...
Meanwhile, Foxy News watchers want to see a President break the law! At least, that is, when Trump is involved. America!
Crute get's a full-color mailer from Glenn Grothman at his lakehouse. Because nothing says Love Shack like full-color Grothman! Can we finally help him love his virginity?
Plus, the Devil's take your calls to hear what YOU think about Trump's rhetoric, and the false elector Andrew Hitt's image rehabilitation campaign.

Is it legally better to be tricked, or to be ~slightly~ wrong. Ron Johnson is just asking, for a friend, after he admits that he was slightly wrong in his comments last week that Dems have regularly put forward fake electors.
And speaking of fake electors, Andrew Hitt spoke with Matt Smith on UPFRONT this week, as he begins he's image rehabilitation tour in the media. Hopefully, he joins the Devil's one day soon!

As Milwaukee County Corporate Council, Maggie Daun gives an inside look at what exactly happened in Milwaukee during the 2020 presidential election.
Maggie then takes on Ron Johnson, and the rest of the Republicans in Congress. Is Mike Johnson any better that McCarthy? Is he any different?
Then, what is freedom? Republican's claim to be the party of freedom. Is abortion access freedom? Is the ability to be apart of the LGBTQ+ community freedom? Or is freedom just forcing your religion on other people?

With shades of Tony Soprano, Rudy Giuliani is ordered to pay $148 MILLION to Georgia election workers he falsely accused of interfering in the 2020 presidential election. If Rudy's lawyers said that $48 million would kill him, what would three times that do?
But don't forget why Rudy has to pay that amount, as the jury hears what those election workers had to go through because of Rudy's actions.
Alan Robinson stops by from the road to bring the 4/20 Facts, bringing with him bomber jackets and consumption lounges from Illinois.
Plus, is this the worst Congress in the nation's history? Dana Milbank at the Washington Post thinks so, and makes his argument in an op-ed that no session of Congress has gotten less important work done.

Vos held the UW System hostage over raises, Ron Johnson is currently holding up Ukrainian aid, and Crute has to ask: when will we stop negotiating with political terrorists? What is progress? Is compromise worth it if nothing we want get's done?
Meanwhile, the Moms for Liberty cofounder is refusing to step down after her ménage à trois. A hardline anti-gay conservative in a throple with another woman? Whoever could have guessed!
Finally, how honest is the Republican inquiry into the Bidens? That depends, mainly if anyone can agree what Joe Biden actually did wrong. And as they accuse him of operating shell companies (without evidence), doesn't Comer himself have a shell company?

Just as the Devil's get on the air, the news breaks that the House has approved an official inquiry into the impeachment of Joe Biden. The reason? Hard to say, as there still no real evidence of wrongdoing.
Then, Comer takes a note from Crute and vows to stay away from talking on Fox News. If only he were banned like Crute...
Plus, it's a Wednesday Town Hall, and the Devil's hear from you about whatever's on your mind. Mostly Scott Fitzgerald bashing.
Plus - breaking news from the UW Board of Regents, as Robin Vos continues to hold the University of Wisconsin hostage. And finally: Dom get's his pee tape!

Cheese-bro is in hot water, as CNN brings exclusive audio of his interviews with Michigan prosecutors. There, Chesebro reveals the details of a meeting between him, Jim Troupis, and Donald Trump in December of 2020, where he was told "not to get Trump's hopes up." Did he listen? Of course not!
In honor of the new tapes, Crute and Dom look back at Scott Fitzgerald's own moves to change the results of the 2020 presidential election. And it seems he hasn't gotten over it, as he's now saying that he's ready to skip an inquiry and go straight to impeaching Joe Biden.

Republicans continue to try and impeach Joe Biden in D.C. over his son's foreign business deals, even though they still have no evidence. But do you know who did profit from foreign deals while in office? Trump, of course. At least, according to his tax records.
Then, Rudy is back in court again today, and he seems to be confused as to why he's there, because he's back to claiming that the election workers did MASSIVE FRAUD in Georgia. Even though the court has already found that they did nothing wrong, and that Rudy is definitely guilty of defamation.
And some BREAKING NEWS on the UW Campus, as Regents are going to vote on Vos' anti-DEI deal once again. Will it be deja vu?
Finally, the Devil's check in with the latest from the white Christian Nationalists - the death of Dom.

Don't worry, Dom and Crute have studied the books, and have figured out exactly what the hell Ron is talking about.
Then, Chaos Riddle with Santas Without Chimneys joins the Devils to talk about their work to help homeless children this Christmas, and about how YOU can get involved in the program.
Finally, in a drastic change of tone, Dom reminds everyone that, if you're going to storm the US Capitol, you probably shouldn't brag about it in your pornos. God Hypnotic's biggest mistake? Taking the jimmy off too soon...

Robin Vos tries to hold the Universities of Wisconsin hostage, threatening to withhold raises if they don't eliminate all DEI. BUT! The Board of Regents hold firm, denying the deal made without their input, much to Crute's delight.
Then, Crute makes a demand: in light of last week's civil settlement of Wisconsin's false electors, Bob Spindell must resign from the Wisconsin Elections Commission. And he's not alone in his call, as Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski sends a letter to LeMahieu saying as much. But will LeMahieu stand by his man?

A conservative columnist criticizing conservatives??? Over Ukraine funding??? That's what Max Boot says, comparing the current Republican party to the Republican party before World War 2.
Then, the Devil's take a look at RoJo. Is he scared right now? Should he be? As Chesebro might be talking with Wisconsin investigators, does Rojo have a reason to be scared?
And of course, it's Friday, which means it time for your grievances!
Cheese-bro tries to stay out of prison, after a report says that he's been working with Wisconsin investigators. Plus, thanks to the electoral college, Wisconsin is one of the few states that will actually matter in the 2024 presidential election, at least according to the Washington Post.
