75 Civic got just piece working hard on the board for you folks today And we got some breaking news we want to share with you ABC news is reporting judge orders Trump administration to preserve signal chat on Yemen strikes The messages had been set to delete in violation of record-keeping requirements
Yes, they are.
ABC News reports, federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to preserve the contents of the chat in which top national security officials use the signal app to discuss military strikes in Yemen as they were taking place earlier this month.
Let's use the app.
Hey, they got an app for that.
Let's go bomb.
Let's go bomb some places.
Hey, we got an app for that.
It's a great idea.
U S district judge, James Bosberg ordered the top cabinet officials named in the lawsuit by the government transparency group, American oversight.
Check them out folks.
I followed them or though on my radar, American oversight to retain any messages sent and received over signal between March 11th and March 15th.
Benjamin Sparks, the lawyer representing American oversight, raised concerns that these messages are in imminent danger of destruction due to the settings within signal that can be set to delete messages automatically prompting the judge to order the Trump administration to file a sworn declaration by this Monday to ensure the messages are preserved.
Yeah, did he give him a verbal order or a written order?
Can I get one?
We're trying to get one for the Supreme Court.
How much do I gotta pay for my objective jurist?
Apparently about $20 million.
ABC News continued.
The lawsuit, again, the American oversight lawsuit, which names Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe,
Treasury Secretary Scott Bassent and Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the National Archives as defendants asked the federal judge to declare the use of signal unlawful in order the cabinet members to preserve the records immediately as signals deleting of messages violates governmental record keeping requirements.
Hmm.
We know that they're going to some of the background.
We've covered that quite a bit.
Let me jump down here.
Uh, interesting thought here, uh, Judge Bosberg.
Oh, here we go.
According to screenshots, shots public by the Atlantic messes were set to dispute a certain time frame.
Originally messes were set to be as mentioned one week.
And then according to screenshots, uh, they were updated.
Um, Bosberg declined for now to order the administration officials to disclose if signal had been used by the Trump administration in a wider context.
Well, I thought I think that's very interesting that
Is this administration using signal in a wider context?
The judge declined for now to order them to disclose that a quote.
I don't think at this point that that's something I would be prepared to order.
So if you see or feel all the lights dimming,
and that's again, and there's lots of cases right now people getting Rendition is at the term I'm getting plucked up and pulled away and sent somewhere else, right?
And if that were to happen call to I don't know it's bad enough that happens to folks that are our citizens of other countries in here legally and perhaps, you know put an op-ed in the school newspaper, you know
criticizing the administration's efforts or criticizing Israel's efforts, whatever the case may be.
If that happens, or if it happens to you, or me, Jess, or me, or any of our audience members, and these cats are using signal to communicate, hey, go get that cat.
Go
And that's the whole point.
That's one of the reasons they use it.
They've been using it since the Russia, Russia, Russia thing in the Mueller report.
One of the reasons Robert Mueller couldn't get the detailed evidence that he needed.
that was most certainly there is because they were using these kinds of apps.
Yeah.
Yeah, I said it.
On the heels of Trump early Thursday accusing Boseberg on social media of grabbing the Trump cases all to himself, the judge began the hearing by providing a detailed description of the DC district court's automated system for assigning
also kind of giving a tell same with with this administration same with Trump same with you saw that the body language of Pete Hakeseth when he's asked questions
You see this, everything's a personal attack.
No, man.
Oh, they're, they're, they're getting eight.
Well, you know, ask, get an asked a firm question is not abuse, man.
It comes with the job.
Political persuasions do not matter in that regard.
This is coming from, you know, a journalist like me.
Hey, I asked questions, I'm a journalist.
I'm an old man, I'm confused.
I didn't put that on the board.
855-752-484-2855-757.
So, Judge Boseberg ordering the Trump administration and, you know, how's he gonna force it?
You know, if someone goes and deletes something, for real.
Hey, you gotta keep this, just like you said, turn the planes around.
And they said, oh, you know, national seat, they're going to say the same thing, national secrets, right?
National security.
We're not going to do that.
I'm anxious to see how the Trump administration, you know, continues to push the envelope of, you know, constitutional crisis because they got caught doing something really, really stupid and literally putting people's lives in danger.
And they don't even acknowledge it.
They don't.
And that's so many different parts of it.
Cavalier Way in which, you know, we go about our war efforts.
It looks like a bunch of frat boys with their, with emoji.
What did Jane call them?
The emoji boys.
And the doge bros, you know what I'm saying?
I mean, this is pervasive through it.
Yeah, you know what?
I want people in these roles that are a little more considerate.
I really do.
I don't think, you know, emojis of the American flag and a fist bump and an explosion.
You know, if that's the extent of your intellect and your analysis of what are we're doing, what we're trying to do as a country in our name to open up shipping lanes to, to what, shakedown Egypt and Europe, to some amount of dollars that haven't been defined and perhaps based on the way the SM, Stephen Miller, believe in that text stream said that they don't even know this was coming.
Hey, bang, bang, bang, we did you a favor, pay us.
And who are you paying?
How's it getting paid?
By whom?
And where are you getting for that?
And if you get a little more, and where's it going?
The whole thing is terrible.
And on every single level.
Tell me from breaking the law, right?
These are supposed to be kept.
This is why Judge Bozburg has ordered them to do this.
So right off the bat, they're doing this.
In this manner to evade these open records kind of request we evade the requirements of our federal government boom breaking the law then then they go up and they try to spin in front of in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee right spin lie call it what you want Not good literally putting Members armed forces members lives in danger the bragging
Bragging I don't know why why Higgs thought that this was necessary put this kind of Detailed agenda the breakdown of the timing and the weapons and all you didn't need to do that.
No, I mean, so what was that?
Well, that was that was him bragging I guess that didn't need to be done There's there's there's so many different ways in every single way you look at this in every angle in every aspect It is terrible and it is getting worse and there's no contrition.
There's no admission.
There's no nothing.
There's no consequence yet No, nothing yet
But I'm telling you, Republicans, I mean, you got family and friends and you care about the military, right?
Make America great again?
Is that making America great when you're just so cavalier with this kind of effort and a war effort?
It's a big party joke, man.
Hey, look at the emojis.
God bless.
Give me a break.
Unserious.
Do not deserve to be there.
But you deserve to be with us.
Come back with us.
855-752-4842.
Taking your calls next.
Welcome back to the Dom Salvis show eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five Civic just be us working hard on the board.
Oh, love me some of that music Music last late to cheap trick.
Oh, yeah At the forum here downtown Milwaukee.
Ah, Stephanie had a blast.
It was it was great.
Ah But man, you know, we're not getting any younger and no,
Good afternoon, Don.
Yeah, I just wanted to let the people know out there.
I was reported by writers.
Elon Musk's, they have access to all our records, you know?
There's a doge staffer He was he has been aided a crime ring they call him a ring of cyber criminals and he he's What he called muscle says he's just awesome He's a 19 year old kid and he's got a his chosen nickname is big balls.
Yep.
Anyhow good good old big balls
He's giving information to a ring of cyber criminals, and I guess they're infiltrating law enforcement emails or hijacking phone numbers.
They're stealing cryptocurrency.
And so I'm just kind of wondering, hey, are our bank accounts, are we going to have any money left in our bank account?
Welcome.
Pull me in all kinds of different directions here.
I mean that information goes away.
It's kind of like those old spy movies where they, they watch the little video discs now and then all of a sudden it goes burst into flames.
This information just evaporates.
So these guys could be.
plotting criminal activity.
And who was supposed to?
Oh, my God.
Just so much.
So, yeah, these are the best, huh?
Making America great again by what?
And what are all these efforts for again?
Just why are we doing this?
Why is this happening?
Why, as I get into this new topic, the new headline, why does the Trump administration want to shrink the federal health agencies by 20,000 employees?
Right, this is what, this is, this is the, this is the umbrella.
This is what they're telling us.
And it's really hard to believe.
It's really hard to believe.
My understanding of the dashboard of the billions saved continues to go up.
But we know that there was a bunch of BS in there first.
I don't mean to look at it because I don't believe it.
At most, and even that was like $2 million.
Right.
I mean, it's not great, but this is what we're dealing with.
This is what I guess the people want.
And where is the savings?
Like, is that in the council?
We're like, where is the money?
Where is that money?
855-752-4842.
Trump administration plans to shrink the workforce of the Department of Health and Human Services by nearly a quarter.
Officials announced today it's part of a major restructuring.
Change is announced on Thursday amount to a workforce that will be around 33% smaller than it was at the end of the Biden administration.
There were 92,620 employees at the department in September of 24 up from 81,000 at the end of the Trump administration.
Around 10,000 full-time employees will be cut.
through the layoffs, in addition to other vacant positions that will not be replaced.
Thousands of full-time staff have already left the department in recent months, in addition to thousands more contractor and fellowship positions that were also eliminated.
A quote, when combined with HHS's other efforts, including early retirement and fork in the road, the restructuring results in a total downsizing from 82,000 to 62,000 full-time employees, the department said in a release,
estimating that taxpayers would save $1.8 billion from the changes.
A fact sheet shared with reporters and senior health officials says that no additional cuts are currently planned beyond those announced Thursday and in recent weeks.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy will cut 3,500 jobs from the FDA according to the fact sheet and the administration also also cutting 1,200 jobs from the National Institutes of Health.
This reduction will not affect drug, medical device, or food reviewers, nor will it impact inspectors, the fact sheet says.
Oh, great.
Great.
Could you tell me how that works exactly?
I mean, just on the labor hours alone, who's picking up the slack or were they all just really watching Netflix and listening to the Dom Salvia show?
855-752-4842.
Come back with us.
And welcome back to the Dom Salvia show eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five Civic it's a phone line.
It's a text line.
You got just PS on the board.
Some of you folks texting in reading Steve from La Crosse so tired of Elon and Donald.
Let's stop this madness in Wisconsin.
They like someone who will really represent each and every one of us.
Amen.
So I'm Sam.
Steve from Milwaukee.
throws out the emojis, the infamous emoji.
I mean, get in these now, the
Steve wonders how many innocence innocent people died.
Yeah, right?
And that's, and that's the thing.
It's, it's seriousness matters.
I just think it does.
And this, this isn't, you know, party time.
We're putting our people in danger.
We're obviously killing other people.
I mean, this is, this isn't a video game, man.
And you, you emoji boys out there.
This is, it's just so, that's such a disservice.
It's just, it's just terrible.
From
I guess, watching Netflix as they say.
CBS goes on, they put the letter out there.
Specific notices to employees may be sent as early as Friday, March 28th, nothing like a one day notice.
But also another quote from Kennedy in the video of this announcement.
Here's what, here's what Kennedy had to say, you know, talking to the troops.
The entire federal workforce is downsizing now.
So
This will be a painful period for HHS.
It will be a painful period for HHS.
Now, does that pain, does that translate over to those who use the services of HHS?
Just asking for those who use the services of HHS the health of health officials had been bracing for steep cuts to be announced this week as part of sweeping restructuring architect With the White House Doge several agency officials said they stepped in have have seen stepped up security measures coming into work this morning
You're gonna pack up your desk and get escorted out managers have been Largely in the dark about the changes officials said and aside from a handful of changes already announced with the department We do have some sound I believe of our senator Tammy Baldwin right here from the great state of Wisconsin She has some comments about these cuts and what's going on over at HHS What these cuts will mean for us if you would just let's
Let's do Senator Tammy Baldwin.
Kennedy said earlier this week at the White House that he and the Doge headed by Moscow identified extraordinary ways to my department at HHS.
Oh, yeah, they did that, huh?
He said what they considered duplicated work for communications, procurement, IT and HR departments across 40 operating divisions of HHS.
We are with ELONS help eliminating the redundancies.
All right, there you go.
Efficiencies, 855-752-4842, 855-755-CIVIC.
Leroy from Milwaukee, you're up.
Welcome.
What do you got for us?
Yes.
You know, they had announced when they made the cut of employees at the IRS that there was no delay in processing the tax forms that are being mailed in.
Well, we just had an experience my brother did that he got a letter from IRS indicating that the payment that he sent in was missing and they wanted to send him a new bill for that amount.
And so what we did is went to the cashier's check that was mailed to the IRS to make that payment.
So we went to the bank.
They gave us a copy of the cancel check with the signature on the back that it had been processed.
Oh, yeah.
When you if you call the IRS Wisconsin right now, there's going to be a voice message saying that they are apologizing because people are saying that payments are not posted and that they're behind in posting payments to the tax forms.
So I just wanted
let you know about that.
And if you, if you take a time and give them a call, you'll hear the message and they are apologizing for the delay in accepting tax payments.
And you can imagine if someone didn't, you know, go and double check, make sure that check wasn't clear.
They went and got another, you know, cashiers check and send and have that one.
I mean, it's just, it's.
It's terrible.
Hey, thank you so much.
We really appreciate you sharing that with us.
And I think this is going to be, it's going to be across the board, man.
I mean, it's, hey, we're not going to eliminate it.
We're just going to break it.
Guess what congratulations now.
You're doing it in all 40 departments, right?
You got a raise Well, you get you got a promotion, but you didn't get a raise correct and and to what end why are we doing this?
Why why is it so important?
Why as as they're claiming here that this reorganization is gonna claim what what's how many billions of dollars I'd see if I can find it here quick while I talk about it.
Oh
Apparently, going from 82,000 to 62,000 full-time employees, they're going to save taxpayers $1.8 billion.
Oh,
Hey, you can't get to four and a half trillion dollars and tax cuts for the rich.
If you don't start with $1.8 billion here and $1 billion there.
And again, there is a cost to this, certainly to the, to the folks that are getting fired.
No doubt about it.
And honestly, if you want to have a different conversation about how AI is going to impact a lot of positions, I think that's something to be said.
finance, HR.
I think there's going to be a continued evolution in many ways, certainly in the workforce.
But we're not there yet.
We're not here now.
And what is the point of this?
What is the point?
We're going to save $1.8 billion.
So they can go and give that to
The billionaires now if we're if we're here's appears also the point if we're looking for Savings in these areas.
Are we gonna really really save it or are we just going to?
reduce the taxes of those rich people and and and then so we also reduce the revenue So we're really not saving it.
This is not like there's gonna be money left over They're gonna take that savings and they're gonna reduce the tax burden on the very rich,
we're doing this again we're doing this again oh because you know the last study didn't go the way they wanted to or the one before that the one before that New York Times report he Kennedy turns to a discredited vaccine skeptic for autism study i mean who better to lead the study than a discredited vaccine skeptic again that's the new york times claiming this david geyer g e i er has been hired as a senior
data analyst at HHS.
Well, I guess they're firing some people.
They fired 20,000 and they hired the discredited vaccine skeptic.
According to several people, he will examine any potential links between vaccines and autism that were debunked long ago.
I mean, is it milk?
What's going on here?
A steadfast figure in the anti-vaccine movement, according to the New York Times, who has helped shape Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'
's thinking on a possible link to autism, has joined the department to work on a study examining the long debunk theory, according to people familiar with the matter.
David Geyer has published numerous articles in the medical literature
attempting to tie mercury in vaccines to autism.
In 2012, state authorities in Maryland found that he had been practicing medicine without a license, without a license, alongside his father, who was a doctor at the time.
I mean, hey, pause the doctor and he's in the building.
So I'm a doctor.
Let me just come on, man.
You know, you gotta be a licensed bartender in the city of Milwaukee.
You can't serve the drinks unless you're a bartender.
And if you're not, you can't get around that so long as there's like a licensed bartender on site.
Then you can do it.
I don't think it works the same in the medical community.
I hope it doesn't.
No.
Wow.
Wow.
Okay.
I didn't know that little part.
So there we go.
Practicing without it, without a license.
It's bad.
Maryland authorities also suspended his medical license following claims that he endangered children with autism and exploited their parents according to state records.
The federal judges have rejected their research on autism and vaccines as too unreliable to stand up in court.
Well, good news.
Now you got all sorts of space and money to go through this process again.
David Geyer's new government role has stunned public health experts who had already expressed concerns about Kennedy's decisions to cancel a long-held vaccine meeting and cut grants focused on understanding vaccine hesitancy.
Well, give me the money.
I'll tell you why.
People like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
That's why.
In addition, David Guy's involvement in government research heightens their fears that vaccine confidence could be further eroded, especially after Kennedy's recent embrace of questionable alternative treatments for measles during the sprawling outbreak in Texas.
I believe that continues to go, continues to grow.
Dr. Christopher Byrer, director of the Duke Global Health Institute.
If we increase vaccine hesitancy and immunization rates go down further, we will see more vaccine preventable disease outbreaks.
That's how it works.
What do you say?
When the measles out, let's take your vitamins.
What was this?
Right, as a prank.
It's funny.
Yeah, these guys are great.
So there are priorities over at HHS.
And it's not what you think it is.
Come back with us.
One final segment will get your calls up, but you know the rules.
You know the rules.
Final segment of the day.
You got to tell us something good.
You got to put a smile on our face.
We'll wrap the day up with a great attitude.
Ready to roll into Friday.
Join us 855-752-4842-855-757.
Thank you.
you
Welcome back to the Dom salvia show last segment of the day if you guys something to say hit us up right now eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five Seven five a civic, but you know the role man Tell us something good and the day with a smile on your face Let me throw out there quickly just a little bit more and then we'll get to the colors eight five five seven five civic RFK jr.
Reorganizing HHS based on the
Recommendations of the very smart knows everything and never makes a mistake Elon Musk.
Here's what our FK junior had to say.
We aren't just reducing bureaucratic sprawl.
We are realigning the organization with its core mission and our new priorities in reversing the chronic disease epidemic.
This department will do more, a lot more at a lower cost to the taxpayer.
Just not how it works.
Now, just for the record, HHS is the umbrella agency that includes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Uh-oh.
The Food and Drug Administration.
We don't need that.
The National Institutes of Health and other smaller divisions.
Medicare, huh?
You gonna make sure Medicare is gonna keep working?
Yeah, all the, all the, all those older, very, very involved and active older folks that are on Medicare, they're, they think they're going to handle and put up with your nonsense.
They think that you can do more with 20,000 less people because you got what redundancies and 40 departments because there's 40 IT departments and 40 HR departments.
Okay.
855-752-4842.
Be careful what you wish for.
Ah, let's get to it.
Tell us something good.
Oh, real quick.
Cam from Appleton, you're up.
Go.
Oh, hey, something good.
I don't know.
I mean, my dogs bring me a lot of happiness.
They got stupid, derpy smiles on their face all the time, and ball is life, man.
All right, man.
I had originally called in to help
illustrate uh very easily for folks to understand why the return from office order and the um the fact that they're consolidating stuff like it is not going to save anyone money and it's actually going to cost way more
why
a lot of government sold a lot of their office spaces and buildings which office space whenever a company hires an employee it's about 120 percent of whatever their salary is is the cost to house them in office per year
And then the...
All the office spaces are going to be repurchased.
Um, everything else costs way more than it did when they had office
Right.
And Cam, my understanding, I hate to cut your show.
We got another caller.
We got to get to my understanding is that some people are going back to no office.
It ain't there.
Uh, thanks for calling Mike Clemens, civic media's sports reporter, checking in.
Uh, thank you for doing so, Mike.
I was hoping to catch you at the last minute here.
Welcome back to the show, man.
Opening day, the brewers today, how to go and how you feeling, buddy?
Well, I don't have good news for you.
They ended up losing to the Yankees 4-2.
It was dramatic at the end.
Remember Devin Williams, who they traded to the Yankees after he had blown save in the playoffs against the Mets.
So today he comes on top of the ninth.
He's got a 4-1 lead.
He loads the bases with no outs.
Oh,
baby!
Oh, baby!
and uh... they you know jake bower came in he managed to uh... get another run across but then devin o'aim's you know settled in and he struck out jackson trio and christian yellowish to
uh... so it's not
able to get it we're not able to get a lot of uh... base runners on today you know carlford on this former white socks and and uh... giant picture did a good job that will be all the guy you know one thing today was to find out so who is you know
Who is this new team going to look like?
You know, Churio was the leadoff batter.
Yelich was the DH, Contreras, Reece Hoskins, Sal Freilich is back.
So the new name is at third base was that Vinnie Capra, this kid that had six home runs in spring training.
He had a solo shot for the Brewers
at
Yankee Stadium.
Yeah.
And so that was nice.
Bryce Trang, he had a shoulder injury, but he was able to play second base and look good there.
So, you know, it looked okay.
The Brewers pitching, I mean, Pat Murphy told Joe Buck, because the game was on ESPN, that of the 13 pitchers, the Brewers got on the roster right now, eight of them are currently injured.
So that's going to be hard, you know, getting into this season.
And then the Brewers home opener on Monday.
forever,
53, I think.
Yeah.
No, a Yelly came in with a loud plan.
Isn't that the best?
That is, that is.
Uh, so Mike, uh, no, I was joking at one, when the Brewers lost, cause you know how we fans are sometimes they're so fickle and all they lost the game is totally over.
Some of you are, some of you are.
Uh, it's a long season.
We got a lot to go.
Um, and what do you think, man?
We got 60 seconds less.
How hopeful are you for the Brewers this season?
You know the thing is the ends of bitters of Brewer's seasons Dom are so bitter sweet,
right?
Yeah, but then you forget These guys have gone to the postseason six of the last seven years and they've won the division You know back to back to two of the last three years or so
So, you know, Matt Arnold is the unsung hero, the GM.
He keeps playing this great young talent.
It should be probably another good year at American Family Field.
Thank you, Mike Clemens, Civic Media Sports reporter, opening day brewers.
Take the loss in New York against the Yankees opening day here, I believe next week.
Thank you, Mike.
Now, folks, stick around.
Pete Schwabber from the Nightlight is coming up next.
We'll be back tomorrow.
Have a wonderful evening.
Stick around.
