John Nichols
Weekly Best of Dom Salvia Show for Jan 25
Catch up on the best of this week's segments
First, from Tuesday's second hour, listen to John Nichols and Dom discuss Biden's legacy and their takeaways from the inauguration. The oligarchy is here, and it's not shy.
Next, from Thursday's second hour, hear about how to navigate the firehose of Trump's, shall we call it 'guano', to focus on what matters with Bill Press.
Then, from Wednesday's first hour with Matt Rothschild: was that a Nazi salute from Musk? That was ABSOLUTELY a Nazi salute performed by Elon Musk.
Finally, hear something good from Wednesday's second hour, with a poem selected by Matt Rothschild, and a clearing of the record from Dom.
Welcome to the Shakedown (Hour 2)
John Nichols, journalist for Madison's Cap Times and The Nation magazine, joins us. We haven't talked with John since before the election, so we start catching up. Top of mind for us today is The Great Grift, how Trump's second presidency is shaping up to be one big scheme for the rich to pilfer the poor of even more money. Not to mention foreign entities, who can now buy Trump directly through his memecoin- they don't even need to stay at his hotels! John's takeaway? This all threatens the very foundation of democracy- the people's faith in their elected officials to pursue the best interests of the people, not just themselves. And Trump's designation of Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations? Is that also a shakedown scheme à la "protection money" that can be pain through crypto? Buckle up, everyone, this is day 2.

This Weird Reality (Hour 2)
John Nichols of The Cap Times and The Nation joins Dom to break down the weird reality we live in. Especially the 2024 election. First, Hovde finally conceded the Senate race to Tammy Baldwin, as we covered in the first hour. Then, what happened in the presidential race? It sure felt like an ass-whoopin. But looking at some numbers, it appears not to be quite so dramatic a "mandate" for Trump, as he received fewer than 50% of ballots cast. Finally, what's going on with the DNC and all these staff layoffs?
In the last half hour, Dom covers an update on Trump's promise to conduct mass deportations. As reported today, and as has been shouted by anyone who knows half a damn, mass deportations would devastate Wisconsin's dairy business. And as we're once more learning about policy decisions from social media posts, Trump plans to use the military to carry out the mass deportations.

A GOP Closing Argument: Heh heh, go away (Hour 1)
We're in the final stretch of the presidential election. Yesterday, the Trump campaign presented their closing argument. They chose to do this in the deeply competitive state of *checks notes* New York? Hmm, ok. Surely their final words highlight the positive qualities of their candidate? Well, not so much. The rally featured- SOMEHOW- new lows, and may well serve as a "self-inflicted October Surprise."
John Nichols of The Cap Times and The Nation joins Dom to break down these final moments of the campaigns. Dom and John talk about the failure of major news sources to endorse a candidate and polling shenanigans that may set the stage for election denialism.

Weekly Best of Dom Salvia Show for Oct 12
Catch up on the best segments from this week of The Dom Salvia Show!
First, an animated exchange from Tuesday with Maggie Daun on the continued lies spewing forth from senate candidate Eric Hovde. He chose to propagate a dangerous lie about FEMA being out of money, due to aid going to undocumented migrants. These lies harm real people and we absolutely cannot accept them.
Next, from Thursday, how IS help for states impacted by natural disasters getting to them? Well, through some socialist policies. And that's pretty darn good! Socialism built many of this country's best features.
Then a conversation from Thursday with John Nichols of the Cap Times and The Nation on the presidential race. As John writes, Harris presents like a Lincoln-era Republican, and as we all see, Trump espouses eugenics. If that last linked article doesn't spell it out clearly enough for you, you may prefer this one.
Finally, some outrage and humor with Matt Rothschild on Wednesday, responding to Jesse Waters bizarre assertion that a man who votes for a woman transitions into a woman. Well, at least then they'll have bodily autonomy...

For Some Context and Clarity: A Sense of History (Hour 2)
Picking up the thread of socialism from the first hour, Dom chats with Dr. Harvey Kaye and John Nichols. Harvey J. Kaye is Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. John is Associate Editor at Cap Times and National Affairs Correspondent at The Nation. Two men with strong knowledge of the history and current state of political affairs in this country.
We talk about the truly remarkable state of this current election. As John writes, Harris presents like a Lincoln-era Republican, and as we all see, Trump espouses eugenics. If that last linked article doesn't spell it out clearly enough for you, you may prefer this one. And then there are the unions! Teamsters' President, Sean O'Brien lambasts the Biden administration for not supporting unions enough... Ignoring the vital protection of pensions accomplished with the Butch Lewis Act.

Understanding Political Polarization with Bill McCoshen (Hour 2)
In our second hour, Republican strategist and hockey aficionado Bill McCoshen talks about working across the aisle to get things done. He believes that social media is a major contributor to today’s political hostility. Conversations become too impersonal over the internet, and we fail to see what we have in common with political opponents. Outside of politics, McCoshen is an owner of the Janesville Jets, a local NAHL team! He talks about his passion for hockey and the opportunities he hopes to provide for kids.
At the bottom of the hour, John Nichols of The Nation and The Cap Times returns to the show. He talks about the fascinating developments in political ideology. The Democratic party is experiencing a strong transition as they embrace their base by supporting unions.
