Harvey Kaye
Weekly Best of Dom Salvia Show for Feb 8
Catch up on the best of this week's shows!
First, from Tuesday's second hour with Nick Ramos. Why has the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign filed an ethics complaint against Judge Brad Schimel?
Next, from Tuesday's first hour with Maggie Daun. The upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election pits Judge Susan Crawford against Judge Brad Schimel. Maggie's choice for Judge Crawford is quite clear, but not because Maggie will only vote for a progressive-aligned candidate.
Then, from Thursday's first hour with Earl Ingram. This combined segment highlights what Wisconsin lawmakers are doing to protect us from the wreckage brought by President Trump's administration.
Finally, as we always end our shows, something good. From Monday's second hour with Harvey Kaye.
Take Hold of and TALK American History, Critically! (Hour 2)
Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the hour.
With chaos abounding from the national stage, we take this hour to talk history with Harvey Kaye. American history is complex. It's messy. And it's full of contradiction. Harvey urges us to grapple with all that American history contains. The good, the bad, and most certainly the ugly. If we try to paint our history is merely good or bad, we fall into a trap that denies the beauty and potential of this country.
We end our show with something good. Harvey reminds us of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s favorite quote from Thomas Paine, "we have it in our power to begin the world over again." And isn't that the truth?

Enabling and Empowering the people, how radical! (Hour 2)
Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the full hour.
First, is there a glimmer of unity among national Democrats? All Senate Democrats- Fetterman with some nudging- signed on to a one sentence resolution denouncing President Trump's pardons for those who violently assaulted Capitol Police on January 6th, 2021. Not much, but it's a bit of unity.
However, our main focus for the day is- big surprise here- what lessons we can apply from FDR to today's political and economic world. Harvey's been ruminating on FDR's call for 'militant liberalism' lately, so we break it down. Turns out it's not about making us adhere to strict uniform codes or schedules, it's about enabling and empowering the common people. That sounds nice, can we have more of that please?

Dark Moments In Our Democracy, but light persists (Hour 2)
Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, our favorite Delano Democrat, joins us to break down the news of the day.
Today, Donald Trump was inaugurated as this nation's 47th President. It feels like a dark moment for our country, especially with the lineup of billionaire oligarchs immediately behind him for the event. Further darkening the moment, aspiring shadow-president Musk delivered not one, but TWO renditions of the seig heil Nazi salute. We really can't think of anything else to call it. A dark portent that leaves us shocked and horrified. Additionally, last night Trump appeared to thank Elon Musk for winning the state of Pennsylvania for him... through his extensive knowledge of the voting machines...
We're admittedly struggling to find some light today. Which makes it all the more vital that we find it. So we end the show with our recurring segment "tell me something good."

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!
Are we all in this together or not? (Hour 2)
Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB joins us for the hour. We begin by addressing a caller from the end of last hour who asked, regarding funding disaster relief for the victims of the California fires, are we all in this together or not? Harvey, in classic Delano Democrat fashion, replies with wisdom from FDR's presidency. In his New Deal, FDR instituted the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to provide jobs, mitigate climate disasters, and provide for the future of our natural world. In short, his answer to our caller is that while we should all be in this together, we are not, due to the economic royalists. Who are those? Well, you'll have to read FDR's speech given to the Democratic Convention upon his second nomination for Presidency.

Two very different anniversaries on this day (Hour 2)
Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, our favorite socialist and Delano Democrat, joins us for the hour.
We continue to reflect on the solemn anniversary of the January 6th, 2021 insurrection. A day when our Democracy not only stumbled, but nearly fell to a violent mob that sought to stop the peaceful transfer of presidential power. We must remember, in full detail, the horrors perpetuated by Americans against other Americans that day. The day marks a dark mirror of what America is.
Today is also the anniversary of FDR's speech declaring four core freedoms. The speech announces four ideals meant to represent the promise of America and what we can be. Harvey is our foremost expert on FDR, and he wrote the book on this speech.

New Year’s Reflection: Best of Harvey Kaye (Hour 2)
Happy New Year of 2025! What would our Mondays be without chats with our favorite Delano Democrat Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB? Certainly they would not be half so full of historical wit and wisdom! Join us as we revisit an hour's worth of our favorite talks with Harvey in 2024, full hours linked. First, we'll learn about the FDR's proposed Economic Bill of Rights. Then, how common is Common Sense? We'll move on from there and discuss getting radical. Finish the hour with a celebration of Wisconsin's proud record supporting labor rights, now somewhat restored with the overturn of Act 10.

H1-B, is that the next pandemic???(Hour 2)
Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, joins us for a full hour!
First, as we must discuss, what legacy does Jimmy Carter leave behind? In Harvey's view, Jimmy Carter failed us as president. Afterwards, he did much better; but as president, Carter failed to strengthen democracy and the rights of workers.
Then, moving on to the simmering MAGA civil war over H1-B visas. These visas allow non-immigrant foreign nationals to work- and therefore live- in the United States legally. As part of Trump's promise to deport huge swathes of people and reduce immigration overall, these visas are coming onto the cutting board. But not all MAGAs agree. Some, like Elon Musk, used these visas to come to here initially and own or support businesses that rely on H1-B visa holders for employees. Many across the political spectrum criticize the program for suppressing wages and restricting mobility of those who carry the visas.

Weekly Best of Dom Salvia Show for Dec 14
Catch up on this week's best segments!
First, from Monday's second hour, a conversation with our favorite DELANO DEMOCRAT (Dom's making it a thing), Harvey Kaye. What do Democrats need to do to start winning again?
Next, revisiting Tuesday's second hour where we covered the 10 new charges levied against Wisconsin's fake electors. We also spent significant time covering this subject on Thursday with Jim Santelle. Listen to him disagree with Dom's glee over the new charges during our second hour with Jim.
Speaking of Jim Santelle, come back to our first hour with him on Thursday for the next segment. Did undercover FBI agents instigate the January 6th, 2021 assault on the Capitol?
Finally, wrap up with a bit of poetry as we come back to our second hour with Matt Rothschild on Wednesday. Take a few minutes to appreciate Nikki Giovanni's revolutionary life and words.
