Earl Ingram
Of Lead and Lies (Hour 3)
We talk to Earl Ingram about last week’s remarks by HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr. claiming a “team” was on the ground in Milwaukee to help with a lead paint crisis in schools. That was a lie. And James Kelly has a story out of Hayward reminding us that when school’s go on summer break, some kids lose out on the one good meal they might get that day.

Best Of Mornings: Phelps, Ingram, Martinez, Shafer (Hour 1)
State Assembly Rep.

Earl Ingram sets up an interview series with Dr. Howard Fuller about the earliest days of the voucher schools program. Benefit specialist Zab Martinez outlines how Trump’s massive budget cuts will hurt lots of families in Wisconsin.

Conventional Behavior (Hour 2)
We’ll talk to first-term state Rep. Christian Phelps (D-Eau Claire) about what he’s seeing in the Assembly Education Committee as part of the state budget process. A lot of the material Republicans are putting in front of them seems to be about almost anything other than strengthening public schools, which is conventional behavior from them, given the kind of talk that came up at last weekend’s state Republican convention. We’ll also find out what Earl Ingram is working on for listeners to our Civic Media stations in southeast Wisconsin.

Democracy on the Brink
Maggie starts today's show with more breaking news. Mayor Ras Baraka's arrest at a protest ignites a firestorm, as the Trump administration faces judicial rebukes and drops bombshells. In a jaw-dropping move, they're considering suspending habeas corpus, echoing the darkest days of U.S. history. Trump's selective refugee policy favors white Afrikaners while other desperate refugees languish. Jeff Mandell of Law Forward discusses how federal judges slam the administration for bad faith and unlawful detentions, revealing a pattern of authoritarian overreach. And Earl Ingram discusses how civil rights gains are eroding and public trust is plummeting. Maggie and Earl call for Americans to unite and confront these unprecedented threats to democracy has never been more urgent.

Civic Media Spotlight for the Weekend of April 12th & 13th (Hour 2)
First up this hour, Earl shares the story of the upcoming annual Special Needs Prom coming up at Washington High School on the Earl Ingram Show. The event is one of the most anticipated events of the year. This year, they are turning the cafeteria into a stunning Emerald City. In its 22nd year, this beloved occasion promotes inclusion and provides a catered dinner, elegant attire, and an evening filled with unforgettable happiness for students with special needs.
After that, John and Gordy in the Morning welcome back Mike McCabe to talk with the show about Byron Kilbourn, a Wisconsin politician from the 1800s, and the parallels between him and Elon Musk with corruption and money in politics.
Next, UpNorthNews Radio with Pat Kreitlow talks rural healthcare. Even as more rural hospitals close and corporate medicine shrinks its local footprints, a group in the Chippewa Valley believes the time has come to return to a hospital model based on local, nonprofit, independent ownership. If they succeed in replacing hospitals that closed last year in Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls, will it be a blueprint for restoring healthcare options around the rest of the state?
And last but not least, Dan Shafer joins the Maggie Daun Show to discuss the breaking news that Ben Wikler will not be re-running for WI Democrats chair. Dan provides some background on Wikler and discusses possible names that could run for the position.

Civic Media Spotlight for the Weekend of April 5th & 6th (Hour 2)
Up first this hour, the Dom Salvia Show, along with Matt Rothschild as cohost, takes a victory lap after the spring election by examining some big winners and losers in the race. Hint: more than Schimel lost, and ALL of us who support democracy won!
Then, on the Chad Holmes Show, listener Cornell from Merrill effusive in his praise of how Civic Media allowed people to see who the candidates were in the State Supreme Court race and for the coverage last night.
After that on this week’s UpNorthNews Radio's Capitol Report, state Sen. Mark Spreitzer (D-Beloit) tells listeners how they can have input about the state budget while the legislature’s Joint Finance Committee does its four-city listening tour. He outlines how there are more opportunities for bipartisan cooperation thanks to new fairer maps, if Republicans decide to be more collaborative than combative.
Finally, the Earl Ingram Show welcomes Reggie Jackson back to the show to explore the possible tensions with Iran should they decline to sign the nuclear weapons ban agreement. He shares his aspirations to gain control over Greenland, asserting that this will be accomplished either through peaceful negotiations or military action. Earl uses the expression "LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS".

Trump Slump (Hour 2)
Earl Ingram, Civic morning show host, joins us as cohost. In this hour we continue our discussion on the disastrous effects of the Trump tariffs. Yesterday, our President announced, in a flurry of lies, untruths, and falsehoods, massive tariffs. Over the past two months, Trump has vacillated on tariffs, imposing, revoking, raising, and lowering them seemingly at whims. These actions directly affect US, We the People. He and his income bracket buddies won't feel this pain. The rest of us will. And the shockwaves of these tariffs will disrupt world trade for years to come. We're calling the oncoming economic mess the Trump Slump and we invite you to join us in that!
At the end of the show, Dom and Jess share some news. Tomorrow will be the final day of the Dom Salvia Show. Not because of any Trump Slump, just because life happens! Join us tomorrow for a joyous celebration of all this show has been!

Good is possible, let’s work for it! (Hour 1)
Earl Ingram, Civic morning show host, joins us as cohost. As we reflect on the Supreme Court election in Wisconsin, we consider good. We celebrate the victory of democracy in selecting Susan Crawford to be our next Justice while rejecting oligarchy and authoritarianism. At the same time, this was the most expensive judicial race in American history. With around $100 million spent on this race, we wonder how much good we could have done with that money invested in our community rather than on mud slinging ads and endless pieces of mail. Especially when federal funding cuts continue to pummel the most vulnerable amongst us. Today, we learn that Wisconsin food banks will lose millions of dollars from USDA cuts. This hurts Wisconsin. And it's only 2% of the cost of the election. Why can't we work together for good???
And on the matter of Tuesday's election... we've got another bout of deniers. It's not those pesky Milwaukee ballots this time. No, now it's the old favorite: mail in ballots. I know you can't see it, but we're rolling our eyes real hard.

Judicial Temperament (Hour 1)
Earl Ingram, Civic morning show host, joins us as cohost. In this hour, we discuss the need for those in the judicial branch to hold a certain level-headedness. A calm, measured perspective that demonstrates high regard for the experiences of others. In other words, Judge Brad Schimel is out for consideration for the state's highest court. Not to worry, there's another candidate running for the spot! Vote Judge Susan Crawford for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice by Tuesday, April 1st. You can check your voter registration and all items on your ballot here.
Judicial temperament matters. We want the people on our courts, especially our state Supreme Court, to be respectful and able to set aside partisan beliefs. Brad Schimel shows again and again and again that he is simply incapable of doing so. He calls the justices he seeks to join "dumb as a sack of hammers" and "addled." This is a big race. Not only in terms of finding a judge with appropriate attitude. The total cost for this election is projected to reach or pass $100 Million. Enough already, we need to change campaign finance.
