Josh Kaul

Civic Media Spotlight for January 25th & 26th (Hour 1)

January 25, 2025

It was a busy news week around the state and country this week, here are a number of topics that Civic Media hosts shared how the news affected our communities around across Wisconsin this week.

Up first this hour, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul joins the Dom Salvia Show and cohost for the day Earl Ingram to discuss how and why Wisconsin joined a lawsuit against Donald Trump. In the first hours of his second Presidential term, Trump issued an Executive Order that would strip some born in the United States of citizenship. Of course, that directly violates Section 1 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution granting citizenship to all those born or naturalized in the US. Hence the lawsuit. In Kaul's words- a disastrous way to start his second term.

Then, on Matenaer On Air, Jane and Greg cover the pardons that were issued for everyone who took part in the January 6 insurrection, including those who were charged with violent offenses, on Donald Trumps first day back in the Oval Office. That is even after the administration said it would go over the cases thoroughly and wouldn't seek to pardon those convicted of violent crimes, the show discusses the people from Wisconsin who participated in the event.

Up next on this weekend's Spotlight, State Assembly Rep. Francesca Hong (D-Madison) talks to UpNorthNews Radio's Pat Kreitlow about the many issues to be debated during the new session of the Wisconsin Legislature—with a main emphasis on her “Healthy School Meals For All” proposal.

Finally, on the Todd Allbaugh Show, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported this week that CBS 58 in Milwaukee fired weather reporter Sam Kuffel for criticizing Elon Musk on her personal social media. While there may have been a legitimate reason to lay her off, the subsequent silence from CBS 58 speaks volumes. The Todd Allbaugh Show discusses this dangerous precedent set very early on in Donald Trump’s presidency. If media companies fire people in their weather departments for criticizing somebody who isn’t even an elected official, trust in news departments will likely deteriorate even further.

BLATANTLY Unconstitutional (Hour 1)

January 23, 2025

Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day.

At the top of the hour, we talk with Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul. On President Trump's first day back in office, he issued an absolute slew of executive orders, some within the bounds of Presidential authority, some not. Amongst those orders was one that attempts to strip citizenship from some children born in the United States. Now, the 14th Amendment to our Constitution leaves no room for ambiguity- all those born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of this nation. Immediately, many states, including Wisconsin, filed a lawsuit to prevent this unconstitutional order from taking effect. Today, a Seattle federal judge- appointed by Reagan- slapped down the order as "blatantly unconstitutional." Wisconsin's Attorney General agrees wholeheartedly.

Civic Media Spotlight for January 18th & 19th (Hour 2)

January 18, 2025

To begin this hour, the Todd Allbaugh Show welcomes Sean Hanish, Director/Producer of Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers, joined us to talk about Bob Uecker's legacy.

After that, the Earl Ingram Show catches up with Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul to talk about the role of the Attorney General and how the state is looking to tackle gun safety and protect reproductive rights.

Then, the Maggie Daun Show is joined by Dom Salvia for "In Case You Missed It," continuing the discussion about Donald Trump's historic sentencing today for fraud in New York, especially Trump's attorney's statement that there should never be any politically motivated prosecutions - you don't say, Todd. Maggie calls Judge Merchan a genius and Dom agrees. Find out why and tune in!

Finally, Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba is joined by director of the new Packers movie, Green and Gold, Anders Lindwall. Anders and Pete talk about living growing up in the Upper Peninsula. Anders shares how he and his brother got the idea for Green and Gold, and what it took to make the film. Anders and the film crew shot the film in Door County, with the farmers and towns behind the film.

Do we like the path we’re on? Yes! let’s keep moving FORWARD!

October 19, 2024

Wisconsin's Attorney General Josh Kaul and Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez join Mark Thomsen today. On the board: how our state leaders are working to keep our elections safe and keep us moving forward!

Josh talks with Mark about the importance of maintaining free and fair elections. Including providing proper security and safety measures for those who run our elections. Attorney General Kaul implores you: if you see anything that threatens to interfere with the election, report it. Start by notifying the Chief Election Official at your polling place. If needed, elevate by informing your local law enforcement and contacting the Wisconsin Election Commission.

Lieutenant Governor Rodriguez joins Mark to talk about the issues that matter to Wisconsinites. She and Mark discuss the necessity of reconciliation after the election. This election season is proving to be an extremely divisive time in American history. So how will we come back together and work to keep this great state moving forward?

Language Matters (Hour 1)

October 1, 2024

Maggie Daun joins us for the top of the hour, as does Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul. Dom, Maggie, and Josh dig into the differences between voter fraud and election fraud. Voter fraud- when individuals commit fraud by casting non-legal votes- is exceedingly rare. Election fraud on the other hand- when groups or organizations work to stop legal votes from being cast- abounds. In fact, Trump-appointed election officials declared our electoral systems entirely secure.

Next, Dom checks in on Trump's rally today in Waunakee, deep in blue blue Dane County. Shockingly, Trump presented lies after falsehoods alongside complaints about crowd sizes. We're trying to find a balance between sane-washing and giving free air time to this wannabe dictator. This past weekend, Trump went even further than before in his hatred-fueled ranting. Looking for someone else who refuses to simplify what Trump says? Check out Aaron Rupar.

Where does JD Vance get his extreme material? (Hour 1)

October 1, 2024

This shouldn't be too shocking: JD Vance's extreme rhetoric is unoriginal. He gets his material from a gaggle of bros. From his theo-bros who want a Christian national state to billionaire-bros who have kept him well funded for over a decade, and dictator-bros, who'd really love to see Trump act out his promise to be a dictator on day one. These bros each want Vance to promote a different extreme set of policies to restrict the rights of Americans.

Then join us for a break from politics for our weekly Yes Chef! segment with Chef Adam Pawlak. This week, Maggie and Chef Pawlak talk about how to make the most epic tailgate.

For the final segment, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul joins Maggie for a brief update on election interference.

The Maggie Daun Show is a part of the Civic Media radio network and airs Monday through Friday from 2-4 pm across the network. Subscribe to the podcast to be sure not to miss out on a single episode!
