Broadcasting across the state of Wisconsin on the Civic Media Radio Network and around the world on the Civic Media app.
This is the Dom Salvia Show.
And now, here's your host, Dom Salvia.
Thursday,
And Jess just quietly rips up the notes.
Thank you, Jess.
Uh, folks, you can join us as well.
Eight, five, five, seven, five, two, four, eight, four, two.
Uh, a lot of things to get to today.
We're going to have some updates on the Wisconsin Supreme court race.
Uh, more things being said by Brad Schimmel, you know, as we're talking before the show does like, well, where is the dumb?
things that Susan Crawford has said.
I don't hear them.
What's the insulting things that we've heard that Susan Crawford's on the mic saying?
I don't hear them.
If we have them, we'll play them.
boy, we, we got a library of Brad Schimmel.
Cause this guy, he just continues to say dumb things and insulting things and perhaps misleading things as well.
We'll go there as well.
On the DNC, they're getting involved here in the state of Wisconsin as well.
Early voter turnout, that's going very well.
Glad to see that folks.
Don't forget early voting going on right now.
You can do that.
Also in the second hour early, we're going to get to what's going
What's going on in the Democratic Party?
Are you mad at the Democratic Party?
Who's the leadership of the Democratic Party?
Did we get anything when Chuck Schumer accepted in the U.S.
Senate, the Republicans continuing resolution?
We're gonna go through that as well.
Perhaps get your thoughts on who you think should be leading the Democratic Party?
Oh, hell, just leading anybody.
We need some leadership, Pearl, somewhere, somehow, and so please.
Someone step up be a leader.
We'll talk about that as well.
Perhaps some of the culture wars as well Earl Brad Schimmel this Wisconsin Supreme Court election Daniel Bice writing up at the Milwaukee Journal certainly got to love it and jump into just a little bit of the article
apparently at a save America rally last August, cause it's, you know, you gotta save America rally at the
save America.
How's it going America?
Is that, is that working
hear, let's hear Brad
By the way, I don't like the pro-choice title.
Sorry, wrong one.
And now they got Janet Proto-Savage, elected to the court.
She was the least sophisticated of them.
And by least sophisticated, I mean dumb as a sack of hammers.
So let's remind her
every time the election comes around and the Republican loses, you know what they always get mad about?
Milwaukee counting their absentee ballots after seven p.m.
You know, because it's the law.
And it could have been changed by the Republicans, but they declined in the Senate to pick it up.
It actually passed the House in a bipartisan measure to allow Milwaukee to start counting these ballots earlier than that.
So we wouldn't have to have results at all hours of the morning, which gives justification for schmucks like Schimmel and, and, and, and Hovdee and Scott Walker to, oh my God, they finally came in Milwaukee.
They, you know, 80,000 folks went against me.
It must be fraud.
I don't know what's happening.
But do you, or are you?
really is dumb as a sack of hammers.
Mr. Schimel,
get our votes banked.
Make this too big to rig.
So we don't have to worry that 1130 in Milwaukee, they're going to find bags of ballots.
I forgot to put into the machines like they did in 2018 or in 2020 or when Eric Covey, you know, was ahead all night.
And then all of a sudden Milwaukee County changed that.
I don't know what happened.
I don't know if there was fraud there.
There's no way for me to know that.
We do recods, you know, you can file some lawsuits if you have some probable causes, all sorts of things that can happen.
Earl, thank you for joining me, man.
I mean, this guy really gets to be going and we're getting closer and closer to this election and he just, it's hard for me to say how much I really, really, really don't like this guy.
He talked about, you know, we got to get this done before something happens.
And then he says, well, I don't know if any of those things did happen.
Well, come on, man.
Come on.
You know, one thing for sure, I listen well, right?
So I heard him initially say, we have to make sure we get.
the early vote because of what happened the prior years.
And then it came back and said, well, I really can't, you know, I can't put my, my hands up.
So, you know, Dominic, you know how it works.
When the Republicans lose, it's fixed.
When they win, everything's all right.
It's just like a man, it's just like a child, man.
If Donald Trump would have lost the election, can you imagine?
where we would be right now, that there'd be, you know, there'd be no peace at all in this country.
And they would be turning things over.
They would still be whining and crying and saying the election was rigged.
You know, but Eric, but, but Brad Schimel, I heard him.
That must have been yesterday.
That last piece that you played because I heard him yesterday.
Missy.
I listened to conservative talk radio man and I'm listening to this man and I'm saying okay this is the same guy who during the debate kind of said you know we shouldn't get into you know
Republican Democrat, what's the worst word I'm looking for?
Partisan attacks.
Partisan politics.
So what was he just doing?
Yeah.
And it's as Bice points out in the Milwaukee General Assembly article, this accusation, this...
calling Proto-Sawits as dumb as a sack of hammers.
Kind of goes like a Republican, Kevin Nicholson made a claim for a user goal that former Lieutenant Rebecca Clayfish was dumb as a box, a bag of hammers.
You know, these guys digging deep for their insulting of the women.
Let's not forget that.
I mean, this is also, it's not just about politics.
It's also about gender in my opinion.
He goes on to say, well,
On Jill Karofsky, right?
He goes after Jill Karofsky.
Adled and crazy?
Oh, let's hear, let's hear more.
Sure, a little bit of a longer clip.
He really gets into it.
Okay, let's hear
it.
Blow your mind.
is the 1849 law superseded by the laws that have been passed more recently during Roe v. Wade.
That's the argument in this case.
She, correct me if I'm wrong, Scott, and I'm not going to imitate her because it would be rude.
She was yelling at the top of her lungs at his lawyer in the Wisconsin Supreme Court on audio video that he's signing the death warrant for thousands of women and thousands of babies.
First off, who signed the death warrant for the babies?
What the heck is she talking about?
Where are all these thousands of women that are going to... But that's not even the point.
It's not the
That she's so addled that she could not carry her demeanor like a justice is supposed to or a judge anywhere.
This is the crazy we're up against.
sound
Justice
listen to how absolutely hysterical.
She's crazy.
at the top of her lungs.
Schimmel.
I fear that what you are asking this court to do is to sign the death warrants of women and children and pregnant people in the state, because under your interpretation, they could all be denied life-saving medical care while the medical professionals who are charged with taking care of them are forced to sit idly by.
This is the world gone mad.
I don't understand how that is not the crime
voice.
know what's screaming at the
Because I'll tell you, this is the conservative talk written before he even was given the opportunity to be in the positions he's in by Scott Walker.
And Brad Schimmel was not far up the list for, you know, that conservatives looked at as somebody as rising star.
You know, Brad Schimmel is not, you hear him speak, man.
He is not a guy that you say, oh, man, this guy should be.
a Supreme Court justice.
It's not there, man.
And so just hearing him over the years and thinking that he's a heartbeat away from becoming a Supreme Court justice.
Man, it's hard to fathom.
Yet he called Janet Prokofievich.
He said she was dumb.
as a bag of hammers.
You know, man, he's not exactly the brightest car, you know, in the universe, man.
He's not a very bright guy.
And the fact that they're putting him up to become a Supreme Court justice, really kind of shameful.
As far as I'm concerned, they couldn't find somebody brighter than he is.
He wants it.
Don't let him get it.
Early voting is going on right now.
Go out vote for Susan Crawford.
Early votes, man.
Almost double where we were two years ago at this time.
So there is a lot of passion and presumably there's lots of conservatives getting out there as well.
You heard Brad Schimmel bank those early votes because you know, Milwaukee's going to come in.
and imagine the largest city in the state might have some influence on the election.
Two bad Republicans won't let them count those absentee ballots early.
Come back with us, Earl Ingram joining us 855-752-4842.
And welcome back to the Dom Salvia show.
Phone lines are open 855-752-484-2855-755.
CIVIC.
Just PS working hard on the board, spinning the tunes.
Earl Ingram joining me as co-host today.
You can check out his fine program Monday through Friday right here on the CIVIC Media Radio Network.
8 to 10 a.m.
Love it when Earl comes around.
Talking right now about the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
And if you don't know, well, now you know, Schimel, not the brightest guy, but he's fine with, you know, calling out other people's intelligence and seemingly mocking the women on the court.
It seems to be a theme throughout these Republicans over the years, hell, even against the only Republican women like Clayfish.
But this is a national story, Earl.
And ABC News is reporting that the DNC
set to announce that on Tuesday its earliest ever new election cycle investment into the Wisconsin Supreme Court race to help boost organizing on the ground the Democratic Party will host phone banks and call more than two million Wisconsin voters in support of Crawford
Damn.
DNC's new investment will be used for on-the-ground operations, including organizing peer-to-peer texting and mobilizing thousands of volunteers to help the Wisconsin Democratic Coordinated Campaign.
Last month, DNC Chair Ken Martin was in Wisconsin canvassing for the Wisconsin Democratic Coordinated Campaign.
We know the election is coming up April 1st.
Folks, don't forget the investment being made in the DNC comes on the first day of early voting.
Wisconsin is from yesterday.
The race will also preview how voters in the background state feel a few months into.
President Trump's election.
I mean this is a referendum already Earl on Trump's administration in my opinion.
Quickly a quote from Ben Wickler, the chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party with Wisconsin voters up against the world's richest man.
This is an all hands on deck moment and we're thrilled to have the support of the DNC in this fight.
Elections in Wisconsin often come down to a hair's breadth and every voter we can turn out to support Judge Susan Crawford and Dr. Jill Underly in April 1st can make the difference between keeping Wisconsin
on a path of progress or letting Elon Musk and Donald Trump drag us backwards.
Earl, DNC, national attention, new ads getting rolled out according to The Hill by Susan Crawford.
How you feeling these days, ma'am?
I was listening to the conservative radio this morning as I drive into the studio every day.
And they were whining and crying about the national Democratic Party getting involved.
Oh, the Democratic Party.
And they're getting involved in this.
And my, you know, why do these guys have to get involved?
Hey, man.
You know what I mean?
Elon Musk can drop whatever it is he wants to drop.
And the Democratic Party should not get involved in this race is what they're saying.
Yeah.
Yeah, especially here at the state level, that there's something wrong as if a crime has been committed, Dominic.
You know, the fact that the Democrats are doing what they have to do.
We spent 10 years with Republican rule at the Supreme Court, man.
And yet the Republicans are saying that, you know, if you allow this to happen and they're trying to rev up their troops.
They're going to play politics.
Oh, excuse me, politics.
They're going to play politics.
If you let the Democrats get in, they're going to play politics.
What was it over that 10-year span, maybe a little bit longer than that, that we all had to deal with when they were in charge of the Supreme Court?
the Republican gerrymandered maps, you know, these these Republicans know something about gerrymandering Erlke They were living that world for like 10 12 years man I mean that it was it was it was the most significant political gerrymander in the history of the world as far as I know Certainly history of this country went up to the Supreme Court and they said we don't know how to really judge this How do you gauge?
Because you can't you know, you certainly can't a gerrymander based on race and things
like that, but apparently on politics, you can.
And then that's, that's what they did.
And if you listen to Robin Voss, the assembly speaker here in the state of Wisconsin, no, they just got better candidates and better ideas.
Well, all of a sudden, of course, we, we got a, a, a non-conservative Supreme court.
They overturned the gerrymander and oh man, look what happened.
All of a sudden the Dems picked up a few more seats.
Now the Republicans are still in control.
Right, we still got a long way to go, but at least it's a little more level.
How hard, I mean, how terrible is that Republicans to, you know, try to get on a level playing field with everybody?
You know, you got a gerrymandered to such a degree that they brought an outside council.
People had assigned nondisclosure agreements, and they showed you your own little part.
I mean, this drove Republican State Senator Dale Schultz out of the party.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, this is what they've been doing, and now they're going to accuse everybody else of what they've been doing.
in one year, you've kind of seen, we've kind of seen some changes and you started to really realize the impact.
We've been in such a quagmire as Democrats at this state level with Republicans controlling everything.
We almost forgot what it's like for there to even be any balance or any fairness.
For heaven's sakes, I talked with State Senator Chris Larson last week and I asked him, man, as long as you've been
And, you know, the legislature, you've never seen Democrats, and he's been there a while, in control, man.
You know what I mean?
He's never.
So in all the time that he's been there, so we know what the outcome of these things, it would be different, Dominic, if the outcome of what they did didn't have some major impact and effect on the lives of the citizens of this state.
But, but they did, right?
Major impact on us.
Folks who are listening to the Dom Salvi show my co-host for the day Earl Ingram from the Earl Ingram show Broadcasting right here on the civic media radio network 8 to 10 a.m.
Monday through Friday He's gonna join us up until the 6 o'clock hour of course remember we always wrap the day up by telling us something good You'll always enjoy that you can join us as well 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 8 5 5 7 5 Civic when we come back the Trump administration making efforts to go after certainly the Department of Education new executive order signed today
day, and Elon Musk continues to go after Social Security, but boy, those Republicans wish he'd shut his piehole for a bit.
Come back with us, 855-752-4842.
Welcome back to the Dom Salvia Show 855-752-4842-855-755.
Civic Earl Ingram joining me today.
You can check his show out 8 to 10 a.m.
Monday through Friday at the...
Monday through Friday at the Civic Media Radio Network 3rd.
Earl, thank you so much for joining me, folks.
You can as well, 855-757.
As we went to the break, we're talking briefly about some of these topics, Social Security, Elon Musk.
We did get some updates on that.
According to the New Republic, the judge kicks Doge out of Social Security and huge blow to Elon Musk.
He's been working to gut the social security administration.
We'll get to that as well.
But we can't leave.
There's one more Brad Schimmel highlight.
We need, we need to, we need to bring for you folks.
I mean, if, if we may media news.com Schimmel called pro pro choice a sham.
It's a shame to be pro-choice, Earl, and questioned others' faith in Christ back in 2018, because, of course, you know, you can't believe in Jesus and want one day of their own choice,
I
2018.
for this child.
Uh-huh.
Saw County, uh, attorney, a district attorney, Patricia Barrett, a special prosecutor of the case, said after reviewing the investigators' reports, he decided there's no basis to file charges against either Justice David Proser or Justice Ann Walsh Bradley.
He accused Proser of choking her.
Bradley, boss Bradley accused processor of choking her in June while she, while the justice were delivering the merits of a lawsuit challenging walkers, a contentious law stripping public workers of their collective bargaining rights.
Now, while Bradley, uh, seeing the courts, uh, she was part one of the liberal justices and processor was a, he's a former Republican legislator.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Put his hands on her neck, perhaps.
I don't remember.
I don't remember exactly what happened.
Uh, so yeah, that, but this is, this is a legacy we're talking about.
So I need, you know, come on for real.
Um, there should be no physical aggressive physical contact between Supreme court justices, right?
To be a really low bar pass.
I mean, maybe a pat on the back, you know, a firm handshake, you know, something like that.
You know, no pass on the ass.
I'm just saying that's not okay.
Um, but you know, if you're ever in, in a conflict where obviously you're like ready to choke someone out, what dude?
What?
So, yeah, that's the legacy.
I mean, and this is, I mean, come on, man, how would Shimmel be?
Would he be like that?
I don't know.
I don't know.
He doesn't have very much respect for the other women on the court, certainly.
wait,
than
I mean, what did Hagridorn?
Well, this is what he said about Hagridorn.
He called conservative Justice Brian Hagridorn soft-headed and claimed it on a 2022 radio show that conservatives were concerned about.
What if we get on their Hagridorn and we get burned?
So Hagridorn, to many folks surprised, and well, mine especially, has been kind of middle of the road on some of these things.
And that's great.
I appreciate that.
That's good.
But seemingly, if you
If you look at something and agree sometimes with all those women, all those woke women on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, well, you're softheaded.
You're not a good soldier.
You're not doing enough to help team Trump, because that's what this is all about, man.
And that's the character of Brett Schimmel.
And some of these counties have like 4,000 or 10,000 people in them.
I mean, that's not, yeah, no, it can be deceiving depending on the map, but you brought it up and folks will get to your calls momentarily, eight, five, five, seven, five, two, four, eight, four, two.
The money, man.
The money in this case, Wisconsin democracy campaign is predicting that this, the amount of money spent on this race will double the last time around, which was a record then, what we're gonna push.
$100 million by the time it's all said and done.
Earl, a hundred million dollars.
But we can't have, you know, you got to cut four million dollars from the food pantry.
You got to you got to do something to, you know, save money.
But, you know, politically speaking here, right and left, lots of folks getting involved, one hundred million dollars.
Earl, we could do so much more with that money.
Nothing goes down Earl man.
It's it's it's Trump flation, baby except Tesla stack, but I mean it's it's it's continuing Yeah, according to ABC news 56 million ported in the 2023 election Supreme Court race right 59 million right now and the project projection is to go over a hundred million and the next race the next time around to your point Earl 150 million 200 million.
What are we talking about?
This is insanity
Man it not only is it insanity you have to ask the question They're investing this money and They want something right they're not investing a hundred million dollars You know and just saying hey Justice do whatever it is, you know, it's your thing do what you want to do right?
They want something So put that hundred million so you have to ask the question Dominic
something has happened with the democracy that we keep telling people we have is their democracy when a hundred million dollars can be spent for one one seat on a state Supreme Court level man in Wisconsin.
We're not talking about New York.
We're not talking about California.
We're not talking about Florida.
We're not talking about Texas.
We're talking about Wisconsin man.
Come on man It's unfathomable that this could happen you and I ten years ago.
We could have never envisioned
And the spicket is the spickets open in large part due to the Republican, you know, there's, there's no enforcement of even whatever left of our campaign finance laws these days.
I mean, the way that they've, they've gone around the law while you can only give so much to the candidate, but you can give unlimited amounts to the party and they can funnel it however you want.
Well, great.
Thanks a lot.
I mean, that doesn't, it doesn't really give you any limitations.
Now it doesn't.
And we, and we see that playing out.
right now uh
I mean, this whole thing, I mean, it goes on and we're all back to Scott Walker, man.
I mean, literally like shimmel with Scott Walker's guy, right?
He was his AG, Scott Walker gave him the appointment and the Walker shot, judgeship.
Uh, this is, this is all stems from Scott Walker.
So there you go.
When you think about who you're going to vote for,
Uh, if you have any question, this thing, Scott Walker, you want that guy's hand leftovers, you know, sitting around Wisconsin for another 10 years, 10 years this guy.
No, thanks.
Oh my God.
Eight, five, five, seven, five, two, four, four, two.
Uh, and I would, and I know there's a lot of Dems out there that there are just appalled at the money in politics and, and, and damn, we are too.
And I think there's bipartisan, uh,
Thought
we were agreement on that that we should do something about this and if it's if it comes to you know, what state?
State run elections or state financed your taxpayer financed elections something along those lines or maybe maybe cut it down to a 30 days You know you do something to to change the trajectory because going from you know 50 million to 100 million to God knows what's gonna be next time around Right or that doesn't seem very much like a democracy.
It seems like seems like
lot of money buying politicians.
Oh, don't worry.
They're on the radio too early.
You hear them all the time.
And as mentioned, you hear the blurbs, you know, we're FCC.
We got to play the ads and just, so, you know, use your own, use your own critical thinking to determine what is truth and what is not true.
But to your point, Earl, yeah, I mean, we are getting to lose it.
They're terrible.
It's hard to watch anything to come on.
I try to either change the channel or mute it because I
You don't need a hundred million to get on this show.
Just give us a little bit of love.
We'll be right back.
And welcome back to the Dom Salvia show eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five Civic gonna get to the phone lines momentarily joined it today Earl Ingraham from the Earl Ingraham show to talk about eight to ten a.m.
Monday through Friday Gonna hang out with me till six o'clock just PS working hard on the board gonna take some of your calls right now Let's get to him Annie from Watertown you will be first every Thursday
We've confirmed it's Thursday.
It's a blurs day.
Hey, any welcome what do you got for us?
What's been most appalling is Schimel accusing Crawford of being political.
Schimel got his attorney general position after doing the big favor in the caucus scandal by Scott Jensen.
Scott Jensen moved his
case to Waukesha County where Shimo was and Shimo gave him the opportunity to continue to work in government.
That's absolutely correct any if if and Chuck Kuala he did some time he got the felony But Jensen got his gotta got it moved to Waukesha Jensen got it to be a misdemeanor and Jensen is a highly paid lobbyist to my understanding And you couldn't be a highly paid lobbyist if you have a felony like he needed that done Annie and Shimo got it done for him apparently
Yep
Thank you for reminding us there's so much there's so you know after a while or you and I've been around a little while man and you a little longer than me We can kind of go back and remember some of these things and thank you Annie for Reminding us of that eight five five seven five two four eight four two Cindy from Appleton your next welcome Cindy.
What do you got for us?
Well these Republicans who bash women do it because you know, it's a physical I mean a mental abuse and I think that's kind of what they're all about
And they never apologize because if they apologize and don't accuse women of all these terrible things, that hurts their manly hood.
I mean, so what?
So the men are never wrong.
Cindy, is that the lesson learned?
I guess so.
It's terrible.
Thank you for the call.
And of course, it's not just the, the, the misogyny.
It's the, it's
the way that he carries himself.
And I don't know, Erlen, we kind of pounded on this.
I'm going to continue to say it.
When a guy like Brad Shimmel or even Scott Walker or Havdie comes in and complains about, you know, the way that Milwaukee has to count their absentee bills based on the laws of Wisconsin that could have been changed by Republicans, they either are absolutely ignorant, literally do not know.
how it works so they don't know they're dumb as a sack of hammers they have no idea or which makes if you don't know that that's how it happens in Milwaukee if you don't know that's the history if you don't can't pick up a newspaper if your google's not broke you can find out how it's done um that's disqualifying
Right, you're either you're ignorant willfully or otherwise or or or he is purposefully lying to everybody Which I believe is also disqualifying either way this guy should be nowhere near the Wisconsin Supreme Court
You know the last the third option is what's happening Because they're leading people to believe this across the state
And so that gives them even more leverage because people who don't know anything about Milwaukee or any of those things, and they keep hearing this constantly from conservative child radio and others like Chimmel and others, then that's what they believe.
And so, you know, what they fell understand is the majority of the people in the state are in Milwaukee.
So you're not going to be able to count it as quickly as you will.
Let's say a real little town.
What's a little small town?
sense But it but of course it's common sense and we know the rules yet and we can we've had this conversation year after year after year after year man Constantly every time these Republicans lose Milwaukee.
Oh all these votes came out but they they don't change the laws because they want this argument Earl is
Do you think?
Because I do.
When I say Milwaukee, what they really mean is those black people voting down in Milwaukee County.
We're the boogeyman.
We didn't just get to be the boogeyman in the state.
It's always been that way throughout my life.
It'll be that way long after I'm gone when you only make up 5% of the population.
Yeah.
And that's what they've been able to.
This is not.
The first time this is not the first rodeo with this Dominic.
It's been going on forever and people across the state.
Unfortunately, many people want to believe that, right?
Yeah, they don't know any better.
They don't know they haven't been in Milwaukee.
They don't know the people of Milwaukee.
So it's easy to believe that if you keep hearing the same thing over and over and over, you got to believe why would somebody lie?
The Dickens, you say?
Hey folks, you're listening to the Dom Salvis show.
Love hanging out with our friend Earl Ingram.
He does a fine program right here in the Civic Media radio network, 8 to 10 a.m.
But we'll get a little extra time with Earl today.
Come back with us.
Callers, be patient.
We will get to you.
We'll continue the conversation briefly on the other side.
But we also got to get to some of the national news, the efforts of the Trump administration, Dom Trump today, signing an executive
of order to get rid of a congressional created department.
That's interesting.
See how that's going to work out.
Plus, the leadership in the Democratic Party, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, AOC, JB Pritzker, Tim Walls, Gavin Newsom, who, who are we looking to look to us?
Come back with us.
Your opinions on what the Dems should be doing, what their priorities should be, eight, five, five, seven, five, two, four, four, two.
