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

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.
Focusing through the Firehose of BS (Hour 2)
Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day.
At the top of the hour, Bill Press- pundit, podcaster, prognosticator, and pal of the show- joins us. Bill, a longtime California resident, weighs in on the LA area fires. He's also an extremely experienced navigator of Trump's BS. Bill shares some guidance on how to sift through the firehose of executive orders, meandering social media policy announcements, and flurry of shiny object distractions. Because we simply can't focus on all of it. And we need to be able to focus on what's important. We're choosing to focus on what's most important, like y'know a President attempting to change the Constitution with an Executive Order.

BLATANTLY Unconstitutional (Hour 1)
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.

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.

Weekly Best of Dom Salvia Show for Jan 18
Catch up on the best of this week's segments and join us on Monday for more!
First, Jack Smith's report on the January 6th insurrection and Donald Trump's role in it, with Maggie Daun from Tuesday's first hour.
Then, how bad of a problem is wealth inequality? Hear from our favorite Delano Democrat Harvey Kaye from the second hour of Monday's show.
Next, on Wednesday, the warring parties in Israel and Gaza agreed to a three phase ceasefire and hostage deal. The event bears strange echoes to the Iranian hostage crises of 1979-1980, which Dom discusses with Matt Rothschild and a disgruntled frequent caller with too much disinformation in his diet. This, from the first hour of Wednesday's show.
Finally, we remember Mr. Baseball, Bob Uecker, with Civic Media sports reporter Mike Clemens from the first hour of our Thursday show.
Have a great weekend, we'll catch ya on Monday!
Legacy is a tricky thing (Hour 2)
Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day.
The federal minimum wage, on this day in 2025, is $7.25. Just as it's been for the past 15 years. That's a shameful legacy for America. Today in the rush of Senate confirmation hearings of this week, Senator Bernie Sanders pressed the Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent on raising this pitiful standard. Bessent declined. Turning to our environment, in Sander's questioning, nominee Lee Zeldin says he does believe climate destruction is a significant threat and is not a hoax! That's some good news, we guess, though the bar's damn low.
We move then to Biden's farewell address to the nation. In it, Biden ponders on the legacy he leaves behind as well as that which our greater American society is building. Particularly, Biden raises alarm over the growing strength of oligarchies in this country.

Wisconsin Legends (Hour 1)
Earl Ingram joins us as cohost today.
Today we say goodbye to Mr. Baseball, Bob Uecker. Bob was the voice of Milwaukee baseball- and lent his talents to nationwide baseball media- for decades. His love for the game infused each of his broadcasts, bringing joy to untold millions of listeners. To the end, Bob did his city of Milwaukee proud. Mike Clemens, Civic Media sports reporter, joins us at the bottom of the hour to share some favorite memories of Mr. Baseball. Bob Uecker, thank you for all you gave us.
For the middle of the hour, Dom and Earl turn their attention to the Wisconsin governorship. Tony Evers, now in the midst of his second term, reportedly has not yet decided if he will seek a third. Dom and Earl discuss, with audience participation, if indeed Evers, who will be 75 when the next election rolls around, should pursue another term. He's served Wisconsin well, but is it time for him to pass the baton? And if so, to whom?

Civic Media Spotlight for January 11th & 12th (Hour 2)
Kicking off the hour, Matenaer On Air speaks about what took place at the US Capitol 4 years ago and why we need to always remember the actions of those who tried to stand in the way of our elections and never give into the rewriting of those who stood by, supported and/or participated as "patriots" or "hostages".
After that on Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba, Madison Musician, Katie Scullin joins the show. Katie talks about what she has been doing over the past couple months. Katie shares she is writing and recording music for an album! Katie sings a song live in the studio titled "Sweet Escape."
Following that, the Earl Ingram Show is joined by Attorney Roy Evans, Earl and Roy discuss the history behind the necessity for DEI and affirmative action programs in the lead up to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday.

Born and raised in Green Bay, he's a semi-finalist with 24 other creators, and if his commercial is chosen, it WILL air during the game, and he will receive a million-dollar prize! If you haven't seen the commercial, you can see it HERE. We're behind this guy all the way!

Godspeed, America (Hour 2)
Earl Ingram, 8-10am host on Civic Media, joins us as cohost for the day.
Dom and Earl continue to address the heart-wrenching news out of California as wildfires continue devastating the LA region. If you are searching for a way to help victims of these fires, start here. Callers weigh in on their views for what's happening, why, and what's to come. One thought repeats and weighs heavily as we reckon with this climate disaster: the incoming President has made it clear he will not support efforts to mediate further climate degradation. More fires will burn. And we know how little compassion to expect when they do.
Then, we move to a truly new story. For the first time ever, a convicted felon will be inaugurated to the presidency of these United States. This morning, Donald Trump faced felony sentencing in New York for his election interference crimes relating to hush money payments. Trump now bears the title of "convicted felon" according to New York law. The sentencing left everyone involved unhappy, so I guess, Godspeed America.
