Scot Ross

Fraudy Fraidy Cats (Hour 1)

October 29, 2024

First up, it's overtime with Maggie Daun! Today's topic is a new report out of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Senate candidate Eric Hovde's business. Daniel Bice reports that Hovde's bank has artificially inflated reviews on a site for people to rate their employers.

Next, Dom checks in with Madison-based firebrand, political consultant, executive director of One Wisconsin Now, Gemini, and friend Scot Ross. In this final stretch, we're seeing the Trump campaign at its most genuine and most terrible. With constant punching down and no selling points for their candidate, we struggle to comprehend the close polling we're seeing.

Doing The Work (Hour 1)

October 18, 2024

Matt Rothschild guest hosts for the day. Madison firebrand, Mr. Ethics himself, Scot Ross joins Matt for the top of the hour. Scot is the executive director of One Wisconsin Now, a liberal advocacy group based in Madison. They check in on the state of the presidential and US Senate race in Wisconsin. Current polling has us a bit anxious, but both Matt and Scot urge us not to fret. Scot shares his experience lately at the Waukesha County Dems monthly meeting. Rather than the typical dozen or so attendees, he reports well over 100 people eager to volunteer and do the work required to get Democrats elected.

In the bottom of the hour Matt talks with Bianca Shaw of All Voting is Local. Bianca serves as the Senior Campaign Manager of the Wisconsin branch of AViS. All Voting is Local works to connect people to the resources they need to fulfill their right and responsibility to vote. Bianca assures us that AViS is prepared for the challenges voters will face on election day. And any that may arise through the certification process. Remember y'all- local elections matter. Your voice matters. Make a plan and exercise your CIVIC duty!

Silly Season- AKA Republican Lie-fest (Hour 2)

October 7, 2024

Guest: Scot Ross

Scot Ross, "Mr. Ethics," firebrand, and fellow Gemini to Dom, joins us for a fiery talk about the state of politics. Scot's take on the current nonsense Trump and his ilk spew? It's ridiculous. And garbage. And trash as well.

Wrapping up the show today, Dom again addresses the dangers of Trump and cronies' lies. As yet another hurricane barrels towards the south-eastern states, Trump's lies about FEMA endanger millions of Americans. Even some in his own party are calling for him to knock it off. And when it comes to the sanctity of our elections? Trump's lies- and his insistence that his party fall in line with him- threaten our next election. As the Speaker of our House cannot even bring himself to admit in so many words that Trump lost the 2020 election, their party sets the stage to challenge a Harris victory in 4 weeks.

Scot Ross Educates on student debt (Hour 1)

June 13, 2024

Guest: Scot Ross

"Milwaukee is a horrible place" says Trump. That will go down well considering the city is hosting the Repbulican Convention.

Scot Ross has been on the student debt issue for decades now and there is no better person to speak on behalf of borrowers. Joe Biden has done more to help on this issue than any other President.

Gambling at Casablanca???

March 6, 2024

Guest: Scot Ross

Firebrand, pundit, and recently-married man Scot Ross joins the Devils to break down the Super Tuesday results. Haley is out! Phillips is out! 2020 part two is on! Ross has it all covered, and even makes us remember that terrible Scott Walker...

On the Biden front, Ross says that Wisconsin should be a slam dunk for the President. Biden has been winning races in Wisconsin that he's not even in, with Evers and Protasiewicz, so when he's actually on the ballot in November, it should be no problem. He just has to actually listen to the people protesting his handling of Israel/Gaza, like the ones who were in Madison today protesting Kamala Harris.

But the big news today - Super Tuesday! Steve Kornacki helped Crute figure out what was happening last night, and he has just one thing to say about his broadcast: where's the khakis?? But Biden lost American Samoa to some nobody! Jason Palmer is the guy, and hey, at least he got on MSNBC! But the Dean Phillips and Nikki Haley experiments are over, to nobody's surprise. At least Phillips endorsed Biden on the way out, and Haley didn't endorse anyone.

Happy Kamala Harris Day!

March 6, 2024

Guest: Scot Ross

Vice President Kamala Harris was in Madison today, and Crute was on location to capture the scene for us. Tune in for audio of pro-Palestine protestors, a new proclamation from Madison Mayor Rhodes-Conway, an introduction from Ben Wikler, and some words from Harris herself! Due to her personal history here in Madison, March 6th is now officially Kamala Harris day.

At the bottom of the hour, friend of the show Scot Ross returns to talk about the state of Wisconsin politics.

Do you love the Devil’s Advocates and want even more? Tune in an hour early from 3:00-4:00 PM on MAD Radio WMDX to hear Crute’s take on local Wisconsin news! Stick around afterward for the Devil's Advocates every weekday from 4:00-6:00 PM across the Civic Media Radio Network. With Dom & Crute, it's never personal, only politics!
