Earl.
Lots to get to one of your reaction on the Wisconsin Supreme Court election.
But briefly, let's throw the closing bell report out there.
It wasn't great on the markets today.
US markets slid to their steepest declines since 2020.
Major industries dropped as much as 6%.
Damn.
The Dow down 1679 almost 1700 points.
4%, the tech heavy NASDAQ down 6%.
And the S&P 500 fell four and a half percent.
That was just today.
We'll get into perhaps some of those numbers.
As we go on, we have some sound of Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, you know, talking about these tariffs, but we'll get to that Earl.
I was, I was super happy and proud of the state of Wisconsin yesterday, man.
When we found out and we heard the election and we know that justice now Susan Crawford was victorious in this
expensive, nasty Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
Earl, how you feeling about it?
And what do you think it says about the state of politics in this country right now?
Well, well, you know, you could look at it from two different perspectives.
People think it's poetic justice because of the outcome of the presidential election.
And I would say to people who look at it from that perspective is
It's not equal.
I mean, we've got Susan Crawford.
That's great.
But what we got on the other side of it, you know, there's no comparison.
But, you know, people turned out man.
And I think, you know, there are a lot of different reasons why to really kind of send a message, you know, it's Elon Musk.
And they say, well, they did it because Elon Musk and my response always is, I don't think so.
You're not sending the message to Elon Musk.
He's not the president.
The message should be sent to the man who put Elon Musk in power, but also say what he did was kind of, you know, reaffirmed that on my show the other day, I kind of did a little civics lesson and I read,
what the responsibilities of a Supreme State Supreme Court justice is.
And Dominic, this may surprise you, but it doesn't have anything to do with whether somebody molested a five-year-old kid.
I mean, you know what I mean?
That's all they did, man.
That's all that they showed.
And they led people to believe that that's the role of a Supreme State Supreme Court justice law and order.
Nothing could be further from the truth, man.
And so I think, you know, all things being equal, the only thing that I'm concerned about is the other guy, Brad Shimmer was talking clearly about, you know, I've got to support, this will support Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
And that's what I'll do in this position.
And so I'm going to make it out, you know,
I'm on, it's on this side of the ledger.
And unfortunately, um, justice, uh, uh, what's her last name?
Susan Crawford,
but the new, yeah, Susan Crawford.
Yeah.
Justice Susan Crawford.
Um, she made it clear I'm not going to do that.
I'm going to do this the right way.
Why is it that we always have to do it the right way, man?
Somebody hits you upside down with a sledgehammer, and then you say, well, I'm not going to do that.
Yeah, we got the right to self-defense, Earl, right?
Give them what they gave us, and a double
dose.
maybe dissuade them from doing that.
And I guess, Earl, and I get that, man, but at the end of the day, you know, right is right.
And I want I want folks to be right.
You know, I want them to look at an issue that comes before them and be honest and objective about that and put it in terms of what the law is.
I think that's what we that that's the whole point.
And it is it is certainly gotten political.
And we've heard sour grapes from the
bad Bradley, Justice Rebecca Bradley,
uh,
lamenting.
She's, oh, she's terrible.
She ran a
disgusting campaign and I don't want to work with them.
I'm not looking forward to it.
Oh my God.
What, what did dysfunctional workplace?
And Rebecca Bradley has been very political and very nasty about some of the things that she's said and written over the years.
Uh, but what about the money, man?
You know, we're talking about these, these terrible ads and it was funny watching.
trying to get away from it all, watching some sports over the weekend.
You know, we got the NCAA tournament, man, the bucks, the brewers are starting up and all it was, man, in the commercials, these constant.
And if you had the volume down, you don't know which one was ripping on who.
And it was all, you know, dark and nasty and dirty and slow motion-y and everybody's getting raped and murdered and everyone's getting away with it.
You
know,
it's just like, really?
This is what it is.
But that would not be possible if it weren't for the.
filthy amount of money that was spent in this race, a hundred million dollars.
I think Elon Musk put 25 million of his own and I don't know if that counts.
The payoffs to the voters, which I also want to get to as well, Earl.
But what about the money in general?
Do you think that it's palpable on all sides that this is something that needs to be addressed and addressed in short order?
We got another election.
Rebecca Bradley is going to be up her seats up on the Wisconsin Supreme Court next year.
Let me let me contrast it like this feeding America and Another organization like that that that gives food out to the poor many people in this country realized solely on that and Donald Trump and his policies have cut man the resources
That will distribute the food man Okay, so there's no money to do that.
They spent a hundred million dollars on a campaign Dominic Two million dollars to make sure that that food goes out To people who need it the most you would think there'd be no problem getting two million dollars people just gave a hundred million Dominic so so
Where are the people who gave 100 million?
Can we get them to give 2 million to make sure that the food at feeding America Dominic goes to the people who needed the most men?
Am I am I what's wrong with me am I nuts?
I think that's a wonderful idea But you know, we don't hear is the Elon Musk wing of the of the hospital here in Milwaukee We don't have the Elon Musk wing of the museum or the library.
They're cutting all those things and I mean it would and to your points CBS 58 reporting exactly what you're saying continued cuts to federal spending will now cost Wisconsin food bakes more than two million dollars Feeding America of eastern Wisconsin as you mentioned Earl also the hunger
task force.
They received notification from Wisconsin DHS informing them that the USDA is making cuts to its commodity credit corporation.
The program connects farmers with food banks supplying them with surplus meats, dairy, and produce.
For example, USDA's cuts will cancel the planned shipments of more than one million pounds of food between June and September.
The value of those deliveries estimated at $2.2 million.
Matt King, the CEO of the Hunger Task Force says they're going to lose more than 300,000 pounds of food they were expecting.
with an estimated value of $615,000.
It's disruptive, he said.
It definitely undermines our ability to provide variety.
Yeah, I mean, and this is a program Earl that pays local farmers for local food to be distributed, you know, locally to feed people that are hungry and needed.
Dominic, they spent $100 million on the campaign.
Can we find somebody who will step up and 2 million?
Dominic, come on, man.
You know, $100 million thrown away.
That's what they did.
They threw it away.
Now, you know, I wasn't involved in that.
Okay.
So I, you know, just so you know, it wasn't in your mind.
But for people who did, you know, and especially these major donors, man,
Can we just get them to just, you know what I mean, man?
That's all I'm asking, Dominic.
Wouldn't you think that, well, but you know what?
They don't get anything out of that.
They were looking to get something for their donations on the other side of the equation.
Is it safe to say that?
Yeah, perhaps why do you give the money right when you give the money because perhaps you don't want to you know fascist overlords to totally take over everything If
you're giving money on if
you're if you're giving that kind of big money if you're Elon Musk Certainly you're wanting something you're given 25 million dollars.
You want something like I don't know like four dealerships in the state of Wisconsin for example, but Wisconsin and proudly so rejected that love the memes I'm seeing of the
Tesla truck being crushed by a cheese wedge, you know these things are coming all over the place We've been we as a state have rejected that Earl, but
Ultimately the question is yes, certainly hopefully those folks that are given that kind of money are very philanthropic I mean if I were a billionaire man, I wouldn't be a bill there because I'd be giving it all away That's the point you know get to that point unless you're hoarding some things and that's fine Everyone
can
you know live their life and do their thing But if you're gonna go down this road and spend money like that hundred million dollars number one We need to as a society regulate that we the people need to take control of this This is outrageous and number two if those folks aren't going to give to the needy if we're not going to do it through our our tax system for
the people for the general welfare of the people, the people will rise up.
You know what I'm saying?
You either got to give it one way or the other, or people are going to take it eventually.
Come back with us.

Earl Ingram, Jr.
A glorious victory for mankind.
I mean, if you listen to Elon Musk, man, everything was on the line.
And then, you know, the next day, while I didn't really expect to win, but we got the voter ID in the constitution.
But what about the money stuff, man?
I thought this was kind of, kind of, kind of hairy.
Paying people to quote unquote sign a petition.
Paying people randomly a million bucks.
One of the ladies, a lady who won a million bucks says she won the million bucks for...
because you voted and then they had to take that video down because apparently that's illegal.
So, ah, but, but they took it down.
I mean, I'm saying they did it.
You see it, you know, it doesn't undo itself just because you delete the video.
Um, what was your sense on, on the way Elon Musk was just passing that money around, man?
Well, you know, Dominic, when a guy is
You know worth more money than the city of Milwaukee You know it doesn't surprise you he he has he has no no understanding at all of ever needing anything money money to him Basically doesn't have any worth man.
I mean you got what 280 billion dollars.
I mean he lost
Half of us, you know, wealthy was up to 460 billion.
He lost half of that.
But, you know, money has no value to him.
So it doesn't really matter.
And so he thinks that he'd buy anything and anybody, the instances he can.
But one thing that I know for certain, the last time I checked Dominic, those caskets don't have any pockets on
them.
And so when, when Elon Musk's time comes, it doesn't matter how much money he has.
And you would think though, Dominic, after it's all said and done, we saw not just Elon Musk, but conservatives are the ones who opened the door for all of this chicanery.
They certainly have.
They opened the door and then for them to turn around and say, well, Democrats do it too.
Yeah.
Because you opened the door.
and you started doing it, you made it okay.
What are the Democrats supposed to do, Dominic, not follow
suit?
They're supposed to fight, fight with fire.
And so that money, I don't know how you go back, Dominic.
You keep hearing people say, well, we've got to undo it.
How you going to undo it, man?
Well,
constitutional referendums, I mean, you know, legislatively, there's lots of things.
Come on, man.
We just passed a constitutional referendum to add voter ID to the Constitution.
I mean, really?
I mean, that's, I mean, if that's important, we can do important things.
And folks thought that was important.
I think it's not, but here we are today.
If people are motivated enough, we can do that.
And the rights, man.
You know, as you mentioned with Rebecca Bradley and their decisions on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, certainly Citizens United, all these, McCutcheon, all these other ones that slowly broke down this thing.
Man, 100 years ago you couldn't do this.
Hell, 20 years ago you couldn't do this.
So I just think, ma'am, it is beyond the pale.
And I think it's something that does literally unite the folks that otherwise maybe not.
agree on other policies or issues as the money in the politics.
And I would say what the needs.
Yes, Elon Musk, he does have some needs.
I would suggest birth control 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 8 5 5 7 5 Civic.
Brian from Milwaukee will get you in here this segment.
Brian, welcome.
What do you got for us?
Yeah, hey guys.
Um, yeah, it was interesting.
There was an article I read online about a
guy who had millions of dollars.
I don't remember what city it was, but he saw the homelessness that was going on in the city and he built a community for the homeless with his own money, with about, I think he put a hundred little houses, you know, that he built in this community.
And it was just one of the most interesting articles to read.
And they have me thinking, you know, if the people that are in office right now, like, oh, Mr. T and, and.
and Musk, with their billions of dollars, really care about helping people, then that money that they have that means nothing to them, they should be handing fists over, you know, to those of us who need it, if they really care about the American people, which obviously they don't.
Right.
I mean, there's your answer, Brian.
They don't.
And they give it all away for a little bit more.
And, you know, they have the right...
And thanks for the call, Brian.
They have the right to be greedy bastards.
Okay.
But we also have the right as citizens of this country to elect representatives who will encourage a tax code.
You know, that would maybe, maybe, maybe steer some of that, you know, direct some of that with our taxes.
We had it before, we had high tax rates before.
Sure, there were cutouts and deductions and things you could take in the past, but we can do that.
We've done it in the past, we can do it again.
When we just roll over, and just assume, well, they're billionaires, they're connected, and since they're billionaires, they must be smart enough, they know everything.
No, hell no, man.
Musk was wrong about Brad Schimmel.
certainly, and Musk is wrong about lots of things.
I mean, he's put out there and he needs to hold effort to doge defy the federal government.
Some of the data he put out there as, as, as proof of their winnings and their efficiencies were wrong over and over.
The guy says, well, we're going to make mistakes.
Yes, we get that.
They do make mistakes.
But I think Earl, it is, it is up to us and to Brian's point, if those folks and they want the.
They have the ability to really help people.
They don't want to do it.
They don't have to.
But we as a country, we as a citizen, we as we the people can make those determinations for them.
Well, you know, you know, Dominic, um, yeah, the people united can never be defeated is, is factual, but it's not like we have people united.
Hmm.
Yeah, not how do you unite the people, man?
Right in the face of what we're looking at with Donald Trump and Elon Musk and people still supporting that
We will be united and see that we will be united in our misery I guess that'll be the case or come back with us early.
I'm gonna be 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 4 2 your calls are next

855-752.
four, eight, four, two, eight, five, five, seven, five civic talking about the, uh, very successful election here in the state of Wisconsin.
Justice Susan Crawford beating judge BS.
Uh, so happy to see that.
I did hear though, Earl, uh, on the national circus and very important, you know, conspiracy theorists like Roger stone, Alex Jones and who's a pillow guy, Mike Lindell.
Oh, they're very concerned about the elections here in the state of Wisconsin.
Uh,
the numbers just don't add up.
And it's all this absentee belt.
And I did hear yesterday when we played a shimmel's concession speech to, to the crowd, you know, some of the crowds were booing when he said he had called justice Crawford and concede him.
He's like, he was serious.
And I'll give a shimmel this.
He was much more gracious than Dan Kelly was when he lost a pro to say wits.
But what bothered me most about Brad shimmel,
And frankly, all these Republicans are all, they blame the city of Milwaukee.
Man, if so, if they lose an election and city Milwaukee, they count those absentee ballots, you know, basically last, they can, they can't start counting them early and that's by law.
And it could have been changed, but Republicans said no.
And then so you hear Brad Shim a lot on the stump talking about, well, I don't know if there was fraud in Milwaukee.
How could I possibly know they, they found these, you know, these late night ballot jobs, all this thing.
This is how it's done.
It's purposeful this way.
Republicans, they could have changed it.
They chose not to because they want to keep the
trope alive, Earl.
It is disrespectful.
I think it's absolutely racist.
That's the only reason they continually go there because it's all the black people in the city of Milwaukee, Earl.
You know, uh, Dominic, um, as one of the black people in Milwaukee, right?
Well, well, yes.
And I'd say this, you know, they talked about early voting with cardinal sin.
And so for how many, for a decade or more, and doing that time early until Republicans realized, hey, hey, hey, this is legal.
And guess what they started doing?
They started doing it early voting.
Yes.
It doesn't mean that you're doing anything criminal if you decide to vote early.
because the opportunities exist.
And once Republicans found that out, hey, it makes no sense whatsoever for us to not participate in this, they started doing early voting.
And so when you look at people who look at you with a generous eye at every turn, for doing what you have a constitutional right to do,
Right.
And, you know, the conversation that continues even to this day, we've got to make sure that there's photo IDs.
And man, by God, we can't risk that they're going to somehow do away with the photo IDs because if we do down in Milwaukee, they cheat again.
Dominic, that's what, that's what was really behind.
you know, make sure that nobody can change the photo ideas that's directed at the city of Milwaukee and people of color.
And so when you when you've seen this over and over and over, man, you you just lose faith.
And I want to say that City of Milwaukee came out in great numbers, Dominic.
Really did, man.
Hey man, he got destroyed.
Yeah.
He lost like 230,000 votes, man.
He got the same thing that Kelly got.
Yes.
Okay.
With all the money that was invested.
And then I say this, man, and then we can move on.
50 million for proto sandwich, a hundred million for Crawford's race.
There's another race coming up next year.
What is that going to be 150 million?
And then there's another one.
And then there's another one a year after that.
Hey, Dominic, we're not talking about U.S.
Senate seats.
We're talking about one seat on a state supreme court, man.
Man, we've lost our minds.
I mean, wouldn't you
agree?
Absolutely.
We're going to get to the point where it's going to be a quarter billion dollars in two or three election cycles, man.
We keep going in this trajectory.
That's what I'm saying, man.
It is out of hand.
It is out of hand.
And people, they recognize it.
They know it.
perhaps some of the folks like, uh, justice Bradley, the bad Bradley, uh, whose decision helped create this environment.
They're, they're, they're lamenting a little bit when it's used against them.
You're right now, money and politics is a problem.
And now they're all down for the early vote.
Well, if you go in early vote Republicans, when do you think the folks can start counting those ballots?
They can't start counting them
until election day.
And when you have a municipality the size of Milwaukee and lots of people early vote after like 675.
Thousand people I believe early voted this time you gotta you gotta process those ballots and for them to play these racial games and to feign ignorance Oh, I don't know come on either Brad Shim will knows how the vote is counted in the city of Milwaukee He either knows that and is lying or he's truly ignorant And and is just an idiot and either way that disqualifies him So thank you citizens of the state of Wisconsin for making sure that guy didn't get
on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Well, well, you know, Dominic, the other side of this is those, those Scott Walker, um, you know, all of the different things that Scott Walker ushered in, man, you know what I mean?
14, 14 years.
We think that everything Scott Walker touched.
He, he got through.
He did.
Man, the damage that he did.
You know, when, before Scott Walker went into office, a, a Dominic, Wisconsin had one of the cleanest, um, you know, governments.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, and remember, they always talked about Wisconsin's got everybody, we were the envy.
We were.
Of the nation, clean government in Wisconsin.
Well, it was Scott Walker who did away with all that.
And you know what?
And he had the nerve to show his.
Face again Dominic and maybe that was poetic justice, right?
He was right into the heart of it right in the middle of it trying to make sure that people didn't forget.
Hey, by the way
Don't forget
about me.
Don't forget about me.
I'm over here at the Reagan ranch getting my million dollars a year.
I mean, talk about a DEI hire.
Give me a break.
Folks are listening to the Dom Salvia show 855-752-484-2855-755.
So we're going to go to the phones next, but Earl, you know.
When you remind me, when you bring up Scott Walker in that regime and all these lackeys and Brad Schimel is one of them, man, we're still dealing with that effect, certainly, right?
Not just on the policies and the Wisconsin Supreme Court that turned conservative and the fact that we had these gerrymandered districts and, you know, I mean, a super majority for Republicans, even though they didn't really earn that, you know, packing and cracking, all the things we had to deal with.
It reminds me like man, it was just it was just a foreshadowing of the second Trump administration man.
What is Trump doing?
He's destroying everything and for what for tax cuts for tax cuts for billionaires man for millionaires He's gonna cut two million dollars of the local food banks so they can somehow cobble together four and a half trillion dollars So they can cut taxes for the rich.
That's why they're doing this
Earl
I don't know, man.
You're the guy who wears that numbers.
But if I'm a billionaire, and they're going to give me a tax break, so I'm a billionaire, what can I look to see?
Maybe a $20 million tax cut.
Maybe I'll wind up with nothing for you to even see, man.
I mean, you know what I mean?
I mean, it's not like they're going to get, if you're worth a billion, you're going to get a $200 million.
a million dollar cut that's not what it is what is it 20 million 40 million whatever it is it's insignificant to a person who's a billionaire so why are they continuing to push it
well and are they even paying their fair share to begin with her
but i'm saying man they're only going to receive 20 million dollars why would they well cuz
Enough is never enough.
That's
right.
That's right.
That's exactly it That's exactly it and they're free to think like that man I mean that is you have
a
you're not yourself out and and and they'll get away with it So long as they pay enough people to think like them so long as they influence enough people to think like them so long as they exercise that
financial and political power to make sure everybody thinks like them.
We're going to continue to deal with this, the money in the politics, them not paying their fair share.
You see Bernie Sanders and AOC out on the
Anti-billionaire tour basically saying we got a we got a break free from this and I'm down for that man I think that's very important and I appreciate Senator Cory Booker's I'm gonna get your sense on that man stand up there for 25 hours leaning into it 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 4 2 I'll just get some callers in here Jack from the Mac your next welcome what do you got for us?
Well, you guys already sort of stole my thunder because I was gonna mention that I talked to a
So-called conservatives, I've got a number of friends that I see on a fairly regular basis that would definitely identify themselves as conservatives.
I don't know if they're Trump voters, because Trump is so crazy, but I do know that I asked him this question.
How much is enough?
And I never get a direct answer.
The answer I get is, well, they've all earned it.
Excuse me.
First of all, most of many of them inherited wealth and not only that, but they're avoiding paying taxes on it for their whole life because they leave the investments in.
and don't ever take them out.
And so then they can pass this money on to their whoever their progeny is.
And they continue that they just, you know, take loans out their billions or millions that they have.
And it just goes on and on.
The
second thing is this.
And that is, I read a survey that said something like 14% of the people that voted for Trump and for these billionaires to be in office.
I think that they're going to end up in the top
one.
That's right.
Hey, thanks for the college.
I've got lots of folks holding Earl.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't want billionaires to pay those kind of taxes.
Cause when I'm a billionaire, I don't want to pay those taxes.
Come on.
You're
not.
Let's, let's just put it out
there.
You ain't going to be a billionaire, man.
I'm just telling you folks,
let me down
easy.
Um,
But Jack makes a good point.
And, you know, so, and when, when we, the people make these efforts, and of course they, they, then they got, when they get carveouts, oh, I gotta get this LLC, I'm gonna do something overseas, or I'm gonna put the money here and I'll loan it to myself and get the, get the right off here and pay myself interest and stick it in it.
And there's all sorts of workarounds and games and, and.
It's designed that way.
It's made that way.
And even if it's not money, it's like water, man.
It's going to find a way.
It's going to float around until it finds a weakness and it's going to go.
And that's just the reality of the situation.
Which is fine.
I understand that.
We know that money is fluid.
We know that they're going to work to make those things happen to give themselves the best possible outcome.
Hell, don't we all?
Don't we all, man, we take the
right
office if we can.
I'm just saying as a people, we need to get our heads around this and make sure that they're paying their fair share
and make sure that
the billionaires aren't cutting services to poor people so they can get more tax breaks.
Hey, Dominic, all I know is that by the 15th of April, if my taxes aren't in, you know, they're going to come after me.
And they're going to take what little I have, right?
The average American, he doesn't have that luxury cause he's got payroll taxes.
They take his taxes out.
Oh man.
And don't
forget if you're
self, if you're self-employed, you're paying both sides of the FICA, man.
Don't even talk to me about it.
Man, when I found that out, I was depressed.
You got to raise your prices.
Folks, come back with us.
Not raising any prices around here.
855-752-4842.

All day, we appreciate it.
Earl Ingram, you check his show out eight to 10 a.m.
Monday through Friday.
Phone callers are lining up.
Let's get to him.
Jim from Brookfield.
You will be next.
Welcome, Jim.
What do you got for us?
Good afternoon, Dom and Earl.
And Earl, it's good to hear you in the afternoon.
You have a little bit different voices in the morning, but it's always great to hear you.
Well,
thank you, man.
I'm
on it.
Yeah, you got that right.
And we'll circle back to our beloved Governor, Mr. Walker, who not only has a legacy of gerrymandering, but remember, they got rid of the government accountability.
Mr.
Did.
Yep.
You can't have any government, government accountability when the Republicans are in power.
But anyway, I want to go back to the federal level with Mr. Trump.
our beloved president.
I somewhat can see why Musk took the chainsaw, you know, to the state or the federal, rather, the federal agencies because he wants to have deregulation to help his companies, all the companies he does federal business with, and he wants to save some money, quote, save for tax breaks for him.
I somewhat see where the dots are connected on that.
But where the heck is Trump going with these tariffs?
Um, you know, is it strictly that he's so stubborn and power hungry that he's just gonna do whatever he wants?
Or is there some hidden billionaire objective here, some hidden motive for him to follow through with these tariffs that are gonna cause us all, you know, a little bit of pain for a little while?
You know, where do you think he's going with that domino?
Thank you, Jim.
I'll start out.
It's hard for me to think there's some grand master plan that, you know, Donald Trump's playing four dimensional chess.
I just don't buy that.
I think in some regards, he's just a, an old man stuck in his ways.
And he thinks somehow some way that this is going to quote unquote make, make America great again.
I don't know.
I mean, he's out there.
Reinventing history man.
I mean we talked about the Great Depression and he's like oh man This is you know terrorists are gonna get us out and we're not gonna come on man.
I mean it's like opposite world with this guy So I don't think there's I don't think there's a great strategy in that regard the other side of this is there a quick buck I mean maybe this is a guy with his efforts can move markets as we're seeing today man I mean announces this stuff yesterday markets tank today five six percent, but
You can bet against it.
You can, you know, you can make money all sorts of ways.
So what we don't know is what kind of action is he playing on the news that he himself is creating.
The volatility index, the VIX.
We talk about this a lot.
If man, that thing was up to 40% today.
So if you had a hundred bucks and you put it in the VIX, you got a hundred and forty today.
And when we see this, these kinds of movements on the S&P, you know, a good gauge of companies in this country down five or six percent.
Man, you gotta go, you get a government bond guaranteed low risk, right?
And it takes you an entire year to get that kind of return, maybe more.
And they're dropping like that in one day.
So people, you know, we got trillions of dollars of people's retirement funds wiped out today.
Let alone Earl, we've been on a downward trajectory for the last couple of months.
We'll get to this more in the next hour, but you got any comments on that, Earl?
Well, you know, you know, Dominic had to eat.
at the end of all this.
And I keep saying people keep acting as though Donald Trump concocted all of this.
Come on, man.
Donald Trump did not concoct this.
This has been, you know, the people who start planting this seed, man, the Bradley Foundation, the Heritage Foundation, long before they even got to this point.
And that's why it's so complete, right?
I mean, this playbook.
Project 2025 has been man concocted to take total control.
They're doing that.
And so Donald Trump at the end of it, Dominic, all he cares about is becoming a real billionaire.
It's what he's always wanted to be.
Oh, he can be that through, through the various mech mechanisms that he's using it to control it in his seat.
as the president, in which there was already something there that said you couldn't gain and couldn't
benefit.
Oh, the good old days, Earl.
I remember those days.
Let's squeeze one more in here, buddy.
Mark from the SAC, you have less words this hour.
Welcome.
What is it?
Yeah, thanks so much, Tom.
Yeah, I wonder if the chaos that Trump is going to make profit off of it and buy low in the market when the tank to market.
But notice today, Trump didn't stick around.
He ran off to go golfing.
He makes profit.
He makes profit when he goes golf because he charges the secret service fee for the rent in the carts.
At his golf course, when you or I go on vacation, we pay everything out of our own pocket.
And here we're paying Donald Trump to go on vacation.
Not only flying him like Elon Musk, but flew Air Force One to Green Bay.
I mean, it's just pretty disgusting that...
Yeah, man.
Thanks for the call mark.
Yes, I would know Donald Donald Trump after saying after doing all this action, Liberation Day, whatever the hell that means to him.
The Marcus tank today is going to be great.
Now I'm going golfing.
I mean, this does a guy even have a job.
Hey, come back with us.
We got a job going to come back.
Talk more about these tariffs.
We've got some sound sound of Senator Ron Johnson.
Oh, yeah, the great businessman senator from the state of Wisconsin.
He's got some comments on these tariffs and we'll take more of your calls.
Stick around.
through the break 855-752-4842.
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.
And welcome to the Dom Salvia show.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
You can be a part eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five Civic just PS working the board jazzed as hell our pal Earl Ingram host of the Earl Ingram show right here in the Civic media radio network Monday through Friday eight to 10 a.m.
Earl Thanks for sticking around with me, man
Amen anytime you just threw me for a loop.
Do I actually
I do an eight o'clock in the
morning show.
You do the morning show, man.
And I know you get up earlier than that, man.
That's why I do
not
envy that line.
We do have some news to get to and the colors you've held held over.
We will get to you briefly, but let's just recap the closing bell.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting U.S.
market slid Thursday in their steepest declines since 2020.
Think COVID as investors grappled with the threat that Trump's new tariff plan will trigger global retaliation and hurt the
economy.
Major stock index has dropped as much as 6%.
Stocks lost roughly $3 trillion in market value Thursday, their largest one day decline since March of 2020.
2020 2020.
Now, you know, Dominic, man, that that there is recessions coming.
I mean, if this,
and this is the point, right?
And we don't even know what the retaliation is going to be yet, right?
This is just our end of it.
Uh, when, when, you know, Europe gets their, their ducks in a row and they throw, you know, that or more back at us and everybody else.
And, and here we go.
The Trump slump is on baby.
That's what's happening.
Now, and what I don't recall and remember, remember not so long ago, early election, all the inflation, the price of eggs, the price of this, the Biden inflation.
I mean,
And that's what drove Donald Trump to the White House again.
Donald Trump will fix it all.
Well, I don't remember those folks who were complaining about the price of eggs thinking, well, I'm going to want Donald Trump to go lower the price of eggs and then totally redo the world economic structure in his way.
And yes, we may have to put up with some short term pain for long term gain.
And I'm thinking about, number one, how short is short term?
And in the long term, we're all dead.
So what are we even talking about?
Earl, it's a, it's a moving the goalposts for the Megas.
You know, prices are too high.
Well, these tariffs are going to cause higher prices.
Yeah, but we're, we're being cheated.
Yeah, but the prices are going to be higher.
Yeah, but I'm willing to sacrifice a little bit of higher prices now for, you know, longer term, they'll be better.
It'll be better in the, in the long term.
Yeah, but that's not what you voted for.
And that's not what he sold you, man.
Earl, it's like these folks, whatever the orange God says to them, they're like, yup, yup,
yup.
You know Man, did you ever think we'd be longing for Joe Biden?
You know, I mean three months Dominic and and what's coming down the pike?
I just listened to you talking about what's happening with the stock market and And man, we know this is just the beginning.
We know we know it had been over
to Joe Biden's credit, they kept holding this off.
They kept doing everything within their power to make sure there wasn't a recession, Dominic.
Can you imagine, man, a recession at this time?
At this
time.
The long-term damage that they've been staving off the recession, Dominic,
I mean, you know, I was in in seven.
So if it strikes and when it strikes later on this year, can you imagine?
Because they're talking about global recession dominant.
Yes.
Yes.
That he brought down.
That's amazing.
So it's like revisiting, you know, his last term in office.
It wasn't great, especially how he himself personally handled the pandemic.
It's not just a global recession, man.
What we're talking about in what the Biden administration is trying to do is it was a soft landing, right?
We want to have a soft landing.
We went through and we pumped in a lot of money.
And of course that was part of the increases in cost.
Part of the inflation.
That was certainly so was profit taking.
There was lots of opportunity.
And we're going to see that with the tariffs because here's the deal.
Here's the deal.
If all of a sudden you're imported widget,
is now 25% more, and you can buy a similar widget here in the States for 25% less.
Well, that's great for a minute, but you know what's gonna happen?
The folks that are making the domestic widgets will be like, well, I'm gonna raise my price because now
I
can match, I can make more money versus what the import would be.
So you're gonna have a balancing, and then as I mentioned, you're gonna have a retaliatory tariffs as well.
But if all of a sudden we see,
Tariff war is back and forth as we see the Trump slump as it's being described I'm going with that we see that happening and all of a sudden growth starts You know going down the GDP slows down unemployment goes up inflation stays up I mean that's state inflation man.
That's a bad scene to be in we don't want to go there
And and what what what is the what is our senior senator from the state of Wisconsin?
We have we have some sound of rojo So here's here's rojo from yesterday, and then we have a cut from rojo today Let's play yesterday, please
just of
course
we will establish a minimum
sorry That's not the one that I wanted that's not it's not the one that I wanted so we don't have yesterday So let's play today.
Let's play today.
We'll go back to yesterday.
All right
You are concerned about the stock market.
Yeah, again, I don't have the president's strongly held belief that this is absolutely what has to be done.
But he's president, I'm not he ran on this and I hope he's absolutely right.
And if he's not, then what happens next?
I'm hoping it all works out early indications.
You know, he's announcing trillions of dollars of committed investment here.
Some companies, some countries have already eliminated their tariffs and dropped them.
Let's see how it works out.
It's just, it's just way, it's just way too early to pick this.
He doesn't want to talk about hypotheticals, Earl, but he's really hopeful that the president knows what he's doing.
I'm hopeful.
Hey, Dominic, let me ask you, you know,
Just an or Donald Trump, but I do know If they claim he just said all these trillions of dollars They're bringing these corporations back to America.
What are they going to do erect them with what do you call those little plastic
Legos
Legos How long does it take man to to to put a company?
Five years.
Okay years
to build a manufacturing company Dominic, you know design the land You know all of those different things none of this is coming back in his time in office Dominic He's misleading people Ron Johnson just said well, there's gonna be six six billion dollars in reinvestment when
And how much damage is going to be done to the American people, don't it?
If you ever see that, don't forget, the same guys who talked about Foxconn, right?
Seat one
to the world.
There is
a
track record.
There is a track record with some of these folks.
And even if a company puts that kind of money in, what's the trickle-down effect?
And how is that going to benefit this country?
I mean, specifically, you talk about making America rich, quote unquote.
Does America have a checking account?
I mean, how exactly does that work?
Because America is made up of individuals.
And individuals make up, you know,
corporations and unions and labor and all these different, it's made up of individuals.
So I don't, I don't buy the premise that they're trying to sell us.
Now there is some specific reaction to this.
Uh, Warren, Michigan, WXYZ reporting.
Stellantis has temporarily laid off 900 workers in the US, including employees at a Warren and Sterling Heights stamping plant.
Now I got family that works for Stellantis.
Automaker announced the news and an email sent to all employees early this morning.
They said that they'll be pausing production at the Windsor assembly plant in Canada for the next two weeks.
And because of the pause, workers in Warren, Sterling Heights, Indiana and Mexico are impacted.
Quote, with the new automotive sector tariffs now in effect, it will take our collective resilience and discipline to push through this challenging time.
But we will quickly adapt to these policy changes and protect our company, maintain our competitive edge and continue delivering great products to our customers.
But in the meantime, 900 folks are getting laid off today.
So, Dominic, let me let me say this.
I'm a guy who spent 34 years in the auto industry, saw ups and downs, saw recessions.
The first people to get impacted and affected by recessions are the home buyers, homes.
and are two most expensive things that people buy.
They're the first ones to get impacted by downturns in the economy.
We haven't seen the damage yet, Dominic.
These are signs.
Again, for 34 years I was in the auto industry.
I knew when recessions were coming, I know the pain of what those things are.
They're the first to recover.
after coming out, but they're the first ones to be impacted and affected.
So that 900 people you're talking about being laid off.
Sorry, broke you out there a little bit.
All right eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five seven will reconnect with Earl Ingram Joining me today level when Earl comes around check his show out Monday through Friday eight to ten a.m.
Eight five five seven five two four eight four two Let's get to some of our patient callers Don from Milwaukee.
You're up next.
Welcome Don.
What do you got for us?
Hi, Dom is the topic tariffs because you got Earl Ingram there and he's a real stickler for stand on topic
So I don't know.
Yeah, man.
Yeah.
Come on.
Let's talk about the terrorists down.
You're fine.
Go ahead.
What do
you got?
I just wanted to go.
I would just wonder is history repeating?
Back in, uh, well, I was before us guys were here, uh, in 1929, 1930, something like that.
There was something passed by Herbert Hoover.
They called that a smooth tariff.
acts.
And guess what happened after that?
Something worse than a recession.
Did you ever hear of a depression?
The banks were locked up.
There were soup lines.
You couldn't even buy a job.
So anyhow, hopefully that doesn't happen, but
I tell you, it don't look good right now.
Thanks for taking my call.
No, thank you.
Thank you, Don.
Appreciate it.
You know, and we have, we have right, we have a right to be, to be concerned.
I mean, certainly you see the market react in the way that it did today, specifically to Donald Trump's actions from yesterday.
Now you hear some of the righties and the Foxy don't call it news analysts saying, well, it's not as bad as it seems.
We're just back to basically October of 24 levels.
I'm thinking of myself.
Well,
isn't it always,
there's always a thing, right?
Oh, no.
Look at this.
Oh, you know, prices are too high.
Oh, let's let's I'm willing to pay a little more so we can what reshape the global economy because Donald Trump's got it all figured out.
Well, the market seems to be telling Donald Trump that maybe he doesn't come back with us.
More of your calls 855-752-4842.
And
welcome back to the Dom Salvi show 855 752 4842 855 75 civic just BS on the board Earl Ingram joining me today
Up until the six o'clock hour check his show on Monday through Friday, eight to 10 a.m.
Appreciate Earl got the phone lines jamming up.
Let's get to him.
Let's see.
We have Cindy from Appleton.
You will be next.
Welcome, Cindy.
What do you got for us?
Good morning.
Well, you know, I told you this morning on your show, Earl, that they were going to blame Biden for this.
Well, I was not.
I don't know.
I got something said to me with Sean Spicer.
They were interviewing him about the tariffs.
And he was talking about yes, Trump has to initiate these tariffs.
He has to cut social security because Joe Biden left us the biggest financial disaster in the history of our country.
And yes, Americans are going to feel some pain.
But once everything falls into place,
America is going to become even greater and stronger than it's ever been.
And I just about threw up.
Yeah.
Like, like, what exactly does that mean?
Thank you for the calls.
And I mean, am I going to get paid more?
You know, what is it?
You know what I'm saying, Earl?
We're going to make so much money.
Who's making the money?
Hey, Dominic, she mentioned the guy's name, Sean Spice.
Spice.
Wasn't he in a horror movie?
Wasn't he the monster in a horror?
Oh, I know he is.
Sean Spicer.
It
wasn't even the guy like killing the gum when he was at the podium.
Yeah.
And
then he was also the guy that said, this is the same guy said they had the biggest crowd in the history of presidential inaugurations ever.
Yeah.
So he's his
credit and didn't go on and like dancing with the stars or something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know if Sean Spicer is the guy that I'm going to for
like, hey man, what
do you think about this global shakeup made by your boss?
Oh, it's gonna be great.
I want to
dance.
The pain.
Hey, you guys don't remember the Rocky movies, man?
The Rocky movies.
Sylvester Stallone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And by the time Rocky 3 got around, I think it was Mr. T. Mr.
T was
asked about his prediction for the fight.
I think this kind of is like, what's your prediction?
What's your prediction?
Prediction?
Yes, prediction.
Pain.
Pain baby pain.
That's the prediction and we got it.
We got it today We got it today
and it's a good
yes, and maybe maybe you know losing you know four or five percent in a day
Uh, isn't a big deal because you're for the long run.
You invest in the long term.
You know, you don't, you know, you don't let the market let it ride, you know, the peaks and valleys.
You don't try to pick your spots.
Okay.
But what if you're retired and if you're lucky enough to have some money to draw down on, well, now you're drawing down on a declining asset.
You know what I'm saying?
You lost 4% today.
What's going to happen tomorrow?
What's going to happen in two weeks?
Cause the more you draw out, obviously you lower your asset and then of the value of that asset continues to decline based on these folks.
And then if you, if you're all retired and you're drawn on that, you're probably, I don't get some social security and Medicare as well.
And what are they doing there?
Well, they're going to go after that as well.
You know, you know, Dominic, um, I just happen to know a lot of people who don't have any stocks.
And, and so the stock market is not their barometer, but whether or not things are going to get worse.
Sometimes it's my big toe is throbbing, right?
Right.
I mean, I mean, they really just, this is an arbiter of the pain that people who can least afford it are going to feel.
It's always those marginalize.
It's always those on the lowest rung.
It's the single mother, Dominic, who has maybe one or two children who's trying to make a go of it and rent this way too high.
and who counts on feeding America and those kinds of places.
And what are we doing to those people, man?
We're pushing those people to the end of their line, right?
I mean, if I got some stocks, like you said, you're in it for the long haul, you lose some, but every dime you have is not in the market.
And bets are that you have a little money.
that you get more money that you get that you can live off of.
But we're talking about the long term impact of so many Americans, rural Americans, urban Americans.
These are the people who are going to be devastated.
Yes, portfolios are going to be hurt.
But man, people who live day by day, that's where the real damage is going to come.
And they've taken away the safety net, Dominic.
Right, yeah taking that away.
Yeah, they're doing their damnedest and why why why do we go through all of this?
Let's always remind folks this is happening because the Republicans and Donald Trump are trying to carve out a way to give
extended tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires.
That's why we're doing this.
That's why we're having these conversations.
That's why those folks, you know, the single mom with the two kids that were relying on some of these safety net programs, that's why they're going to be suffering more.
And you talk about the prices of rent and the car.
Man, cars are already expensive.
You
know,
interest
rates are.
I mean, they're not as high as they used to be or as they could be, but they're certainly aren't as low as they used to be.
So financing and getting a new car is expensive, man.
And now they're going to what the arbitrarily throw on 25% tariffs on cars coming in.
Okay.
Congratulations.
You're even you can find a $20, $30,000 new car.
Good luck.
Cause now it just went up 25%.
You know, Dominic, uh, Donald Trump said it's as easy as they'll buy American cars then.
They'll be forced to buy America.
Well, guess what man the parts For those of me.
It's not the way it was in my day Dominic when I was in the auto industry where everything was made in America That's that's long since past man.
Mm-hmm
And
someone argued that one of the reasons that the global trade has made America more competitive, because if you have protected markets, and do you really care?
Does it really matter if everyone's going to buy your product anyway?
Are you lean and mean?
Is your quality up?
Is your service up?
Are you making good vehicles?
Are you just pumping it out to make the money?
Because you know what?
Everyone else is blocked out of the market.
Are we going to go back to that?
Fat and lazy corporations?
there's history we can look back on and see, hey, how, what happened then?
How did this affect people, real people's lives?
And when you have a president of the United States standing in the Oval Office and lying to people about how history actually happened, man, I mean, it is, it is the full on embrace of willful ignorance.
And the guys going golfing now.
So come back with us, folks, eight, five, five, seven, five, two, four, eight, four, two, eight, five, five, seven, five, seven, more of your calls.
I promise on the other side.
And welcome back to the Earl Ingram show.
Every time I hear their music,
I know it's
the Earl Ingram show.
Earl Ingram joined me until six o'clock today.
Thank you so much, Earl.
Always a pleasure to catch up.
Jess P.S.
working hard on the board.
You folks on the line eight, five, five, seven, five, two, four, eight, four, two, talking about the tariffs.
And I'm going to throw this one out there before we get back to the college.
And we have some sound of a sent us Senator Rand Paul, some Republicans in the Senate, trying to push back at least as it pertains to tariffs with.
Canada will get to that as well.
But I heard Donald Trump today and we didn't play the song because you know how Trump talks in front of the freaking helicopter all the time.
It's terrible.
But he's like he literally said it's the markets are going to boom.
It's going to be great.
The rest of the world are doing any wondering if there's any way that the rest of the world if they can make a deal.
Make a deal because it goes exactly against what my understanding is that the tariffs are not up for negotiation.
According to the Washington Post, White House officials have circulated internal talking points telling surrogates that Donald Trump's new global tariff regime should not be characterized as a starting point for negotiations.
They're literally passing this thing around inside the White House saying this is not about negotiations.
Trump's out there today saying the rest of the world's wondering if they could make a deal.
Making a deal seems like a lot to me like negotiating for something.
Earl, you know what I'm saying?
I mean, is it possible that the guy's just, he's an old crazy old man that doesn't, he doesn't remember what he said last time around and he's having this influence on our global markets, man.
It can't be both things, Earl.
Well, so let me ask you because it wasn't so long ago that I heard people say the Democrats knew that Joe Biden Was having some issues Hey, man, you think there's anybody in on the Republican side of things who are listening to this man and saying hey
If he ever had some cognitive ability, he certainly doesn't have it now.
It certainly seems
a little diminished.
It's not consistent, man.
I mean, if the report is true, there's internal memo saying this is not negotiation.
He goes out and says, hey, we're looking for deals.
I mean, those things, they're contrary, man.
I mean, that's just the reality about there is some folks pushing back.
Apparently Senator Rand Paul is pushing back a bit.
Let's hear what Senator Paul had to say.
The president's imposition of tariffs against Canada that will be
a costly tax increase on American families.
If the president has concerns about trade issues with Canada, guess what?
This president negotiated a signature trade deal, the USMCA, that got 89 bipartisan votes in this chamber, and he has a negotiating process
to find a resolution to any issue he cares about.
The imposition of tariffs does nothing more than put a tax on American families.
This is a tax, plain and simple.
Taxes should not be enacted by one person.
So I will vote today to end the emergency.
I will vote today to try to reclaim the power of taxation, the power of the tariff, to where the Constitution designated it should properly be, and that is in Congress.
You can say what you want about Senator Rand Paul.
He's right on one thing.
A tariff is a tax and a tax is an increase and increasing the price of a product.
The last thing I knew I learned when I was in grad school, Earl, was that that's inflationary, not deflationary when you raise the price of something.
Well, you know, Dominic, I never went to grad school, but even I know.
Come on, man.
Come on, man.
That's elementary, Dominic.
Right.
I mean, really, you know, people are people are going to be at which end because especially where these things are going to impact.
Many people shop at Walmart, man.
Walmart is, you know, a godsend for people who struggle every day.
The things that are in Walmart dominate are generally, you know, a few steps ahead in the dollar store.
But the truth of the matter is the impact of all those things that are in Walmart to come from China and other places Dominic they're gonna they're gonna go through the roof Mm-hmm That's coming
That's coming and those folks that go to places like Walmart because of the less expensive goods
are
going
to see, you know, 10, 20 percent.
I mean, there's going to be, it's going to flow through because those tariffs aren't going to be absorbed by Walmart.
They're not going to be absorbed by the, the, the importer.
They're not going to be absorbed by the manufacturing or those people that bring them in, they're going to pass it along, man.
Cause everyone's working on a margin and you want to keep your margin the same.
The only way to keep the bottom line is the same to increase your price.
Man, that's what, I mean, Donald Trump should know this and, and, and those folks and people like, like Senator Rand Paul, Republican who they know this, this is an increase.
in the price of goods.
That is not why the people elected Donald Trump.
And it just amazes me that the Megas are just falling all over themselves to try to continue to move the goalpost as to what the point is of all of all.
That's right.
That's right.
What is the point?
Earl, the point is so we can carve out four and a half trillion dollars in tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.
You know, Dominic, where I run Paul's colleagues, right?
I mean, Ron Paul is a guy who supported Donald Trump.
But in this instance, he noticed this is too egregious and too damaging to to his constituents and other people that even though he supported Donald Trump knowing and in and basically gave him carte blanche, it's about three or four of them who just no man.
This just is just this is too egregious, man.
Right.
It's too egregious.
Yeah.
I
can't stand with that man.
Come on, man.
Well, and women and children, come on, man.
Well, and Rand Paul's from Kentucky and Kentucky bourbon and Canada loves themselves from Kentucky bourbon and the weapon that they're pulling the stuff off the shelves, man.
And so there's going to be real.
And I don't know that that Rand Paul and I, I'm sure I'm assuming he's doing this out of the concern for his constituents because, you know, Rand Paul is not going to worry about paying
the
rent, you know, but when your constituents all of a sudden start hammering you down and they're not just woke agitators, you know, paid for by George Soros.
These are people.
in your neighborhood's man that are going, dude, what is happening?
We can't sell this to Canada now, because Trump's mad at them for some reason.
When Trump's the guy that negotiated the deal on the last way around, I mean, if I were Trump, I'd really, I'd put the guy, the last person who negotiated the NAFTA to the USMCA, whoever did that should be put in prison.
That's what I would do.
Hey Demi, let me bounce this off of you.
All right.
You know who's conspicuously absent?
We haven't seen Trump's children at all.
Not done, not the other guy, not his daughter, not, you know, those, they learn their lesson, man.
Stay away.
I don't know what they're doing behind the scenes.
Oh man.
They got the
U-Haul backed up to Fort Knox.
They're busy.
They're busy.
Is there a goal
left in Fort Knox after Trump got done?
And he's the one who said that he was going to go down there to check because someone took all the goals.
We would have heard that.
We got some callers there.
Let's get to them 855-752-4842-855-755.
Civic Alley from the North Woods.
You're next.
Welcome.
What do you got for us?
Oh my gosh, where to start?
It's a
lot, Ollie.
How about if we start where Trump says this is just like surgery.
The patient had surgery and he's alive and prognosis is good.
My question is what kind of surgery did he have?
Powerful lobotomy?
Looking at the way the country is today.
And I also want to say that when you talk about opening factories back up, those new factories that are going to be built and opened back up, they're going to be run by AI robotics.
They're not going to.
be giving billions of people jobs, that's just not the way it's going to be.
And we'd be foolish to think otherwise.
And I have, for Earl, I'd like to say my barometer is not my big toe and not the raspberry.
but my barometer is whether or not I can afford my medicine and whether or not I
can
afford food.
And I know that these tariffs are going to hurt the drug industry because we get a lot of medications from other countries.
And
how much is enough?
How much is enough for Musk to have enough to
put himself, President Trump and all the other billionaires in a spaceship and head off to
Mars.
Thank you for the call.
Ali, appreciate it.
Earlier thoughts.
You know, man, you, you felt the pain in Ali towards the end of it, which you talked about the medication and food because that's, that's real, man.
That's real pain.
that people are going to be feeling that didn't have to feel it, right?
And especially when you kept hearing people talking about the pain that Joe Biden caused.
And what Joe Biden did do, man, is he certainly put safety nets there and he offered, he had compassion for people, man.
You know?
He truly did.
And here it is.
And I was talking to somebody the other day and I said, yeah, I remember George Bush Jr.
He said, do you miss me now?
Well, Joe Biden should steal that line.
Yeah, right.
And the Democrats, do you miss us now?
8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2.
Thank you, Ollie.
Good point.
The comparison to what's happening around now to surgery.
Could be, I don't know, they took off the wrong limb.
You know what I mean?
Like, yeah, all right, congratulations.
You're out of surgery, but they took the wrong leg.
Or, you know, we had a torn muscle, so instead of going in and repairing the muscle, we're just chopping off the leg.
forget about it.
And hopefully you get out without a staff infection.
You know what I mean?
And for real, you know, I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy alley eight, five, five,
seven, five,
two, four, eight, four, two.
Karina from Milwaukee.
You will be next.
Welcome Karina.
What do you got today?
Hello, gentlemen.
You know what?
First of all, I want to say thank you so much to a civic media and to you gentlemen, because you have such a nice group of people.
Earl with his, you know, life experience and his views and culture and bring a really good point and dumb with your culture and with your knowledge and experiences and everybody else make it on.
Everybody else thought is amazing.
So when you see such a group of people who come in from the different sides of the society, different sides of the law, you can see that what's happening in the country does reflect everywhere.
It doesn't matter.
who your, what, what your specialty in that life, what is your profession, what's your dedicated, what you make, what your habits are, it reflects and it hits everybody.
And also I'm really disappointed about all the water's idea because I do work in the healthcare and I know that tariffs are horrible, but the water's idea, I won't, so many old people, there's so many disabled, there's so many people in the group homes and the nursing homes,
This is on purpose.
So those people will not going to have an ability to work because nobody is going to take them to the DMV.
Nobody and decide the point if you have.
Sorry, Karina.
Keep breaking up on us there.
A great point on the voter ID.
Stick around.
We got some news for you in the next segment.
Let's squeeze in Richard from Walker Show.
I can give you 45 seconds.
Richard, thanks for your patience.
What do you got?
All you guys are saying is correct and there's some kind of forensic evidence of this book I ran into about Trump and the people around him and his name is Tim Miller.
He was the communications director for Jeb Bush's campaign and he is not happy and he wrote this book and it just
put this right on.
He's got all the groups divided of the party.
Yeah.
All right, man, we'll check it out.
We know there is a conspiracy, a vast right wing conspiracy and come back with us 855-752-4842 final segment of the day.
Welcome back to the Dom salvia show being legendary over here all the time eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five civic Earl Ingram joining us for the last segment of the day Earl.

It has been a good run.
On Monday, we've got a new adventure starting.
A new adventure on Monday.
New adventure on Monday, a new chapter.
Another chapter, another book.
Another book, yeah.
You know, normally when you give notice, it's just your supervisor.
It's a lot harder when there's so many supervisors.
Right.
Civic media, I've really appreciated all of you and tomorrow's my last day
Just you know there's never been a Dom Salvia show without just PS
that is entirely true
and in that same vein and thank you for everything for real We'll be back on tomorrow, but I will also be leaving civic media tomorrow will be our mutual last show together.
Yeah
So we're going to, we're going to wrap it up tomorrow.
Um, and we're going to celebrate our audience.
It'll be a celebration of
life.
It's the last show, so just as we do the last segment of every day, tell us something
good.
Tell us something good.
That's right.
It's gonna be a full day.
A full day of telling us something good.
So you heard that folks, right?
And tomorrow we will get into it.
We're gonna take callers all day.
We'll answer any questions you may have.
I mean, Earl going on 13, what, going on 14 years and doing radio, man, you know we got some stories and I'll try not to tell too many about you, my friend.
But I want to thank you as well.
Always man coming around.
We've been we've been doing this together in different ways and formats for a long time.
Hell, I used to produce Earl back in the day.
You know, you know, Dominic, I want to begin by saying when I met Jess and when you first wound up kind of doing the show alone and there was a week there before.
You
actually came on and I got to got to meet Jess and you know, we got to kind of do a little radio together for those three or four days or whatever it was, but Jess, it was it was great getting to know you.
You know, you're great at what you do.
You got success written all over you.
So, you know, it's the beginning for you and not the end.
Absolutely.
You know, Dominic, what can I say, man?
You know, you and I, the only the only thing I can say that's for certain is that our paths are going to cross again because we live in the same city.
And so it's just a phone call away, man.
But, you know, people are going to miss you, man.
You know, I mean, you know, the thing about radio is nobody ever said you'll you'll you'll be there until death do.
you part, right?
Yeah, I know there's an end time for me on the air.
And so, you know, people come, people go, but the listening audience is always there and there'll always be somebody else.
So, man, I hate to see both you guys go, but I've been around long enough to know, you know,
Nothing lasts forever.
Yeah, I think you're all appreciate
except
for friendship Yes, absolutely, and that's you know, it's it's It's so true, you know the the fun that we've had and you know just working with you and Earl known you for a long time and and everybody in the audience You know come on folks.
We I got a lot of your numbers in my cell phone.
They don't just
get sucked into it man I mean we hang out
I get the numbers and we
get and we have a good time and and you know, we I've said goodbye
a couple of times on the radio, man.
So I'm not, I'm not, I'm not concerned about it.
I'll be fine.
Jess will be fine.
We're all going to move on.
Uh, you know, civic media is fine.
This isn't a, a, a terrible departure.
Certainly wish it could have worked out differently.
Didn't.
Uh, but the fact alone that we're still doing this and we're announcing the fact that
we're doing this
and this has been, I mean,
For me, and I don't know if I want to speak for you, but this has been like the, along Wisconsin goodbye
for me.
This has been going on for some time.
And like I said, it's unfortunate we have to get to this point and it didn't work out the way we would hoped it would have.
But that's fine, man.
There's other people going to say the things and do the things.
I'll still be a fan and still be listening, supporting what civic media's mission is here.
It just won't be with my voice.
So you're going to have to get some other folks in here.
eight, five, five, seven, five, two, four, eight, four, two, LA.
Tom, you will have the last word today.
Welcome, Tom, what do you
got?
Man, Dominic, all I know is that I've seen you grow from being a libertarian to actually being a burning type supporter.
And it's going to be a really, really tough thing to see you not on the radio anymore.
Thanks,
man.
I would like to say though that
Everyone needs to realize that everything Trump touches dies or is bankrupt.
It's just the way it is.
And I wish the hell he had a stutter because if he did, maybe then people would really start seeing the more cognitive decline that he had than Joe Biden ever had.
Joe Biden did not have a cognitive issue.
He had a speech impediment.
And as he got older, that got worse.
But Joe Biden knew how to take over a Congress.
He knew how to do things to get things done and everything Trump touches
dies.
Thank you, Tom.
Appreciate it.
As always, folks, come back with us tomorrow.
We'll have more conversations.
We're going to spill all the beans and have all the fun, kick all the ass and take all the names.
Thank you, Earl Ingram for joining me.
Once again, always a blast.
My friend, check his show out Monday through Friday, eight to 10 a.m.
Right here on the Civic media radio network.
Thank you, Jess.
P.S.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Thank you to our fair audience.
Now stick around.
Pete Schwab of the nightlight is coming up next.
Have a great night.
