Maggie Daun
Weekly Best of Dom Salvia Show for Feb 15
Happy weekend, all! Let's review our best segments from this past week, eh?
First, from Tuesday's first hour, a bit of overtime with Maggie Daun. Do we want President Trump to be successful? Welllll... that really really depends on how you define "successful." Do we want our fellow Americans and this country to flourish? Of course. Do we want mass chaos and cruel policies? Absolutely the hell not.
Next, from Thursday's second hour: lawmakers in states that voted for Trump now find themselves facing down massive funding cuts that will hurt their constituents. Isn't it cute how they thought they were only going to 'own the libs' and not feel an ounce of the pain they so self-righteously crowed would befall Democrats? No, of course it isn't. No American's pain is good. And. And you get what you voted for.
Then, how is this presidential administration's first 100 days shaping up compared to FDR's? We ask and discuss with our favorite Delano Democrat, Harvey Kaye, from our second hour on Monday.
Finally, let's wrap it up with something good! Als from Thursday's second hour, a few moments of peace.
Is this whatcha voted for? (Hour 1)
Maggie Daun joins us for a bit of overtime. We begin by picking up an audience member's question from yesterday: do we want President Trump to succeed? Well, that depends on how you define "success". Do we want Trump to be successful in subverting our constitution. No, we don't. Do we want Trump to succeed in enacting hateful policies the bring social justice back decades? Hell no. Do we want Trump to be successful by reducing taxes for his ultra rich pals while increasing costs for the rest of us? Absolutely not. So what can we do to oppose Trump? As federal judges currently bear the brunt of the defense, we look to Congress for support. That said, Maggie urges Democrats in Congress not to look at a shutdown as a political tool. Rather, assemble a cohesive policy set focused on protecting middle class Americans and STICK TO IT.
For the rest of the hour, we turn to tariffs. Yesterday, Trump announced an accross-the-board 25% tariff on all imported aluminum and steel. This WILL hurt Wisconsinites, with impacts on everything from infrastructure to beer. So Trump voters, is this whatcha voted for?

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.
Shills, Scams, and Special Government Employees (Hour 1)
Maggie Daun joins us for a bit of overtime. First up, let's discuss Brad Schimel's shameful shill of a campaign to be a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice. A taste here and then we'll get into it more in our second hour. Schimel's been out and about 'joking' about buying up stores of kneepads in order to go around on his hands and knees groveling and begging for money to fund his campaign. Of course, this would be in direct violation of judicial campaign ethics. Our friends at the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign filed an official complaint, we'll be talking to their Executive Director, Nick Ramos, in the next hour.
Turning to the national stage, Trump's administration faces a wave of lawsuits. In relation to DOGE, the supposed 'Department of Government Efficiency', federal employee unions sued. They assert that DOGE's access to sensitive information, like social security numbers and other governmental employee info, is illegal.

Civic Media Spotlight for February 1st & 2nd (Hour 2)
To start off this hour of Civic Media Spotlight, we tune in to a segment from the Earl Ingram Show this week. Earl was joined by Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Judge Susan Crawford. They talk about what led her to choose her career path, the biggest issues she sees impacting this election, and how she hopes to navigate the highly partisan environment in Madison.
Then, on the Dom Salvia Show, Maggie Daun sticks around for the overtime with Dom to dig into the MEMO issued by Trump's White House stalling all federal loans and grants. Not an Executive Order. Not a directive to Congress to draft budget laws. A MEMO. Dom says the message is the chaos. Maggie says it's the fear. In truth, it's probably both.
After that on Maino & the Mayor, the director of the "Green and Gold Movie," Anders Lindwall, calls in to discuss the movie. Anders says that the movie is his heartfelt tribute to rural America's strength and perseverance. The movie stars Craig T. Nelson, and at its core, the movie is a tribute to the unsung heroes who shape communities and preserve traditions through kindness and hard work.
Last but not least, Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba welcomed filmmaker Nathan Deming to the show. Nathan talks about his upcoming film, February. Nathan shares dates and cities where the film is screening and Pete takes a Wisconsin based quiz that Nathan prepared.

Civic Media Spotlight for February 1st & 2nd (Hour 1)
To begin this hour of Civic Media Spotlight, we take the beginning of a conversation with former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn on the Maggie Daun Show. Harry joined Maggie this week in-studio to discuss the recently pardoned J6 felons and the other craziness going on during the first week of President Donald Trump’s second term.
Then, on a Wednesday edition of the Todd Allbaugh Show, Todd visits from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project! On April 1st, Wisconsin will vote to elect a new state supreme court justice. Every day, we discover new reasons why conservative candidate Brad Schimel is completely unfit to serve our state. At a Republican community event last year, Schimel was caught on a mic calling for another “bloody revolution” to get American freedom back from “the socialists.”
Then, on UpNorthNews Radio this week, Pat discussed how some Wisconsin legislators are considering a new way to hide from taxpayers the true cost of the programs that give out taxpayer dollars for vouchers to private, often religious schools. He spoke to Chris Thiel, legislative policy specialist for Milwaukee Public Schools, about this new shell game that would force every Wisconsin taxpayer to fund two parallel school systems in the state.
Wrapping up this hour with a segment from the John & Gordy Show, the guys welcomed back Mike McCabe and the three spend some time on the topic of oligarchy. They also share how we need not despair right now, and that we can look to the future and plan to make some real advances as a society.

President Chaos and the Fear Machine (Hour 1)
Maggie Daun joins us for some overtime to start the show. Yesterday, Trump's White House released a memo declaring a freeze up to $3 TRILLION in federal loans and grants. For a full breakdown and Maggie's legal analysis, check out her second hour today.
U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan for the District of Columbia issued a hold on the memo until next Monday. Still, so many organizations are already scrambling trying to understand how the memo- not a bill, not an executive order, a MEMO- will affect them. As Judge AliKhan says, it certainly appears that the federal government, in issuing this memo, did not understand the breadth of those who would be affected.

“It’ll Never Happen…” (Hour 1)
Wisconsin's Senior Senator, Ron Johnson is upset that every single appointment from The Felon President hasn't gone through immediately! He has an idea and it's of course, totally fair minded and sane. As the show is happening, former Wisconsin Congressman and Ruler of Roads Sean Duffy is up for confirmation as The Secretary of Transportation. We also discuss the validity and consequences of confirming RFK, Jr. as Secretary of Health And Human Services. Then, Civic Media's very own Maggie Daun joins the show to talk about the firings and possible prosecutions coming out of the Trump administration and explain.

Civic Media Spotlight for January 25th & 26th (Hour 2)
This hour of Civic Media Spotlight is all about community and the sports that bring Wisconsinites together.
On Maino & the Mayor, we have a very important conversation with Sarah Danahy, the Executive Director at Community for Hope of Greater Oshkosh. She talks about "Project Safeguard" and also the Suicide Survivor Loss Support Group that they facilitate. Great tips for people thinking about suicide or folks who are concerned about family or friends who may be thinking about suicide. We have wonderful organizations in our communities to help, and we love to spread the information.
Then, on Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba, Pete is joined by comedian and actor from Major League, Skip Griparis. Skip talks about his act featuring rock music. He also shares his experience on Major League with Bob Uecker, and talks touring with Olivia Newton John.
Then, on the Maggie Daun Show, Maggie honors a former Milwaukee Brewer who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this week. Maggie brings some listeners to tears as she gives props to CC Sabathia and the incredible moment of shared joy and connection that he gave the state of Wisconsin on Sept 9, 2008.
Finally, on the John & Gordy Show, the guys are joined by Pat McBride, author of The Luckiest Boy In The World, to talk about working for the Brewers, Bucks, and Packers all at the same time, as a teenager. He also went on to medical school and is now a retired professor from the University of Wisconsin.

Unpardonable (Hour 1)
Maggie Daun joins us at the top of the hour for some overtime.
This hour, we're locked in on the slew of pardons issued by President Trump for those who engaged in a violent insurrection against the United States of America on January 6th, 2021. Of those pardoned, 11 are Wisconsinites. These 11 Wisconsin residents participated in the most overt attempt to disrupt our Union since the Civil War. Several directly assaulted Capitol police and shared proud recollections of their exploits on social media. Now, their slates are wiped clean and the history of that day is being re-written. Even many Republicans lawmakers voiced their alarm at the breadth of Trump's pardons for the J6 rioters. They shouldn't be surprised, OF COURSE Trump would fully pardon his biggest fans, duh!
