Dan Shafer
Rhetoric vs Reality with Harry Dunn (Hour 1)
Today, Maggie broadcasts live from the WMDX studios in Madison with former US Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn! He was there while a violent mob stormed the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. In the years since, he has been making sure everybody knows the truth of what happened on that day. Now that President Donald Trump has pardoned all of the criminals who beat police officers on J6, Harry Dunn's message is more important than ever.
At the bottom of the hour, we kick off a new weekly segment: State Slate with Dan Shafer! As Civic Media's Political Editor and the Founder of The Recombobulation Area, Dan is always keeping his eye on what matters to Wisconsinites. Most importantly, Wisconsin's supreme court race takes place on April first, and we all need to pay attention.

Recombobulate Biden’s Legacy

"They got to change the way they talk to people." Dan Shafer in reference to the Democrats
In Mark's final segment, he gives his thoughts on whether or not Kamala Harris had the right or wrong message, and what he believes needs to be the focus of talking points for Democrats in the next election cycle.

Civic Media Spotlight for January 4th & 5th (Hour 1)
Kicking off this weekend's Civic Media Spotlight, Jane, Greg and Calvin talk about whether they make New Year's Resolutions and what effect they have on us if we don't follow through. We take calls and read texts from the listeners on this and give advice on how to reach goals for yourself.
Then, Green Bay based comedian John Egan joins Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba. John talks about the stand-up scene in Green Bay and De Pere. Pete and John share stories from around the state in comedy, and John talks about new dates coming up!
Following that on the Todd Allbaugh Show, Todd updates listeners on the tragic attack in New Orleans in the early hours of New Year's Day. His focus in this segment is on the Fox News coverage. They made up lies about the alleged perpetrator before anybody really had any information, stating that he was an illegal immigrant and this is all Joe Biden's fault. In reality, he was a citizen of Texas and an Afghanistan veteran. Todd emphasizes the importance of truth, and how Fox News has continually failed to reach that goal.
Wrapping up the first hour, on The Maggie Daun Show guest hosted by Dan Shafer, Dan is joined by BLOC’s Angela Lang and Law Forward’s Jeff Mandell to discuss the complexities of ACT 10 and its repeal. Enacted in Wisconsin in 2011, ACT 10 severely limited public sector unions' collective bargaining rights, sparking protests and debates over workers' rights.
