Harvey Kaye
Let’s Get Radical (Hour 1)
Happy Monday! To welcome this new week, Eric Hovde finally concedes the Senate race to Tammy Baldwin. Despite continuing to push grievances, he at least concedes that Baldwin got more votes than he did!
Then our favorite socialist joins us. Harvey J. Kaye is Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. And he thinks we should be embracing getting more radical. Specifically, let's be economically radical. Harvey says he hopes he never hears another Democratic candidate calling themselves a capitalist, rather he wants them to align with FDR's Democratic party.

Weekly Best of Dom Salvia Show for Nov 16
What a week! Catch up on our best segments as we process our electoral bruises and look to what's next.
First, what the hell happened last week??? From Monday's second hour, we catch up with our friend and favorite Democratic Socialist, Harvey Kaye. Did the Democrats forget to be the party that COMBATS inequality?
Then, from Tuesday's first hour, a chat with Maggie Daun as she works a bit of overtime. Her analysis of the election: too many people rightly feeling existential angst. And we shouldn't have to live in that.
Looking ahead with a bit of dread, listen to part of Wednesday's first hour as Dom talks with Dr. Tim Slekar of Civic Media's BustED Pencils. What do we need to watch for from this incoming administration on education? Well, a whole hell of a lot, and nothing at all...
Finally, back to Tuesday's first hour for Dan Shafer- of The Recombobulation Area- shares his top 10 takeaways from the election. Find Dan at his substack or Civic Media podcast!

The Making of a Democracy (Hour 2)
Harvey J. Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, joins Dom to break down what the hell happened on Tuesday. Did Democrats abandon the working class people whose votes they needed as argued by Bernie Sanders? Or did Harris' roadtripping with Liz Cheney hurt more than it helped? And more crucial than any of these questions: what do we do now? How does the Democratic party reorganize and act to protect the groups who will be vulnerable to attack and further marginalization in this new administration?

Common Sense (Hour 2)
Harvey J. Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, joins Dom at the top of the hour. Harvey knows history. And he knows Common Sense. As in, the pamphlet written by Thomas Paine. Not as in whatever the hell Trump was citing as Common Sense in his platform... Please compare that platform with Harris', for a bit more of what we all thought to be common sense initiatives- backed by plans to make it happen!
A regular caller who consumes far too much disinformation for his health directs us to Virginia's voter registration. U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles ruled today that the state of Virginia needed to reinstate 1600 registered voters purged from their lists illegally for suspicion of non-citizen status. Judge Giles ruled that the systemic purge occurred after the state's 90-day pre-election window for such group removals from registrations. In this window, Judge Giles rules that each case must be considered individually.

For Some Context and Clarity: A Sense of History (Hour 2)
Picking up the thread of socialism from the first hour, Dom chats with Dr. Harvey Kaye and John Nichols. Harvey J. Kaye is Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. John is Associate Editor at Cap Times and National Affairs Correspondent at The Nation. Two men with strong knowledge of the history and current state of political affairs in this country.
We talk about the truly remarkable state of this current election. As John writes, Harris presents like a Lincoln-era Republican, and as we all see, Trump espouses eugenics. If that last linked article doesn't spell it out clearly enough for you, you may prefer this one. And then there are the unions! Teamsters' President, Sean O'Brien lambasts the Biden administration for not supporting unions enough... Ignoring the vital protection of pensions accomplished with the Butch Lewis Act.

Did anyone vet this candidate? ANYONE??? (Hour 1)
Last week, Dom began addressing the horrifying comments and behaviors attributed to Lt. Governor Mark Robinson of North Carolina, who is now running for Governor of that state. At the top of the hour, Dom and Producer Jess break down some updates on this election in NC. Over the weekend, Robinson's campaign experienced a staff exodus. Perhaps they fled after Robinson declined several offers for professional tech assistance in getting to the bottom of just WHO made those obscene comments on a porn site attributed to Mark... Dom also takes a stroll through the worst things Robinson has said- last updated in March of this year.
Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, joins Dom at the half hour to continue the conversation.

Wow that debate was a rush! (Hour 1)
Y'all, that debate was fun to watch at times. Horribly infuriating and devastating at times- and so, so gratifying at others. We check in with Maggie Daun, Harvey Kaye, Matt Rothschild, and a whole host of friends on the phone about their reflections on the debate. We all saw a hell of a show from the two candidates and we're taking a day- just one- to revel in how Donald Trump made a complete ass of himself in front of dozens of millions of people.

It’s All About the Money- and your rights therein (Hour 1)
Starting off, we address Ron Jonson's latest nonsense about how "democrats are dividing the nation". Next, whose finances are we more concerned about- Tammy Baldwin's partner's clients or multi-millionaire bank-owner Eric Hovde, who is himself running for Senate?
Dom's guest for the second half hour is Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Harvey co-authors a comic series on expanding our rights, specifically our economic rights. The series builds on the proposals laid out by FDR in his 1944 State of the Union, the policies advanced by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and legislation modern progressive politicians work to pass today. The comic series, frankly, is really freaking cool, with smooth artwork and thought-provoking content, go check it out!

The Importance of Teaching Labor History (2nd Hour)
We discuss the importance of teaching labor history in our schools so that tomorrow’s workers are not only well-educated but understand how on-the-job respect, safety, and compensation should never be taken for granted.
