Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for this final day of the Dom Salvia Show. There’s a bit of news to cover today, but mostly we’re here to celebrate 7 months of the Dom Salvia Show and Dom’s 13 years in radio! On the news side, we cover continued […]

Earl Ingram, Civic morning show host, joins us as cohost. In this hour we continue our discussion on the disastrous effects of the Trump tariffs. Yesterday, our President announced, in a flurry of lies, untruths, and falsehoods, massive tariffs. Over the past two months, Trump has vacillated on tariffs, imposing, revoking, raising, and lowering them […]

Earl Ingram, Civic morning show host, joins us as cohost. As we reflect on the Supreme Court election in Wisconsin, we consider good. We celebrate the victory of democracy in selecting Susan Crawford to be our next Justice while rejecting oligarchy and authoritarianism. At the same time, this was the most expensive judicial race in […]

Guest: Earl Ingram

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. This hour, we continue our democracy victory lap. We’ll settle down and get back to business tomorrow. But for today, we’re going to celebrate at least a bit. With this article as an anchor, we examine some of the winners and losers of the Wisconsin spring […]

Guest: Matt Rothschild

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. Today, we celebrate a win after such a long season of darkness. Finally, after so many losses, the Milwaukee Brewers pulled it off! Oh, and yes a major victory for democracy as Judge Susan Crawford becomes Justice-Elect Crawford. And y’all this race wasn’t close. Wisconsin voters […]

Guests: Matt Rothschild, Susan Crawford, Cory Booker

Wisconsin is not for sale. Our judicial system is not for sale. So why in the hell is the MAGA movement and the world’s richest man trying to buy our Supreme Court? We intended to move on from our discussion of the race for Wisconsin Supreme Court in this hour. Really, truly, we were going […]

Maggie Daun joins us for a bit of overtime. On this April 1st day of elections, don’t be a fool and don’t fall for the BS! Get out and vote for a qualified judicial candidate: Susan Crawford for Supreme Court Justice. In this segment we take one final look at the reasons BS is unqualified […]

We knew coming into this administration not to expect traditional sensibilities of qualifications from Cabinet members. Still, we hoped to see some regard for making America safer and more secure- what with all the talk of how Trump’s administration would do just that. And then we got Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense and all […]

Over the weekend, the world’s richest man graced us with his ‘presents’ here in Wisconsin. Attorney General, Josh Kaul, filed to stop Musk from delivering two $1 million goodies. Alas, he didn’t dot his Is or cross his Ts and our court system flat out rejected the lawsuits. Even our “radically liberal” Supreme Court that […]

Another week in the bank! Catch up on our best segments! First, revisit our talk with Judge Susan Crawford, candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court from Thursday’s first hour. Make sure to check your voter registration and all items on your ballot. Then make a plan and vote by this Tuesday, April 1st. Then, we […]

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for the day. In this hour, we discuss the American system of government. We are not a monarchy. Nor should we be an oligarchy. We are a democratic republic with three co-equal branches of government with checks and balances on each other. Those […]

Guest: Jim Santelle

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for the day. For this first hour, we’ve got to talk money. Because this Supreme Court race is ridiculous. With a predicted total passing $100 million, one man bears over a full 25% of that burden. Elon Musk took it upon himself to […]

Guest: Jim Santelle

In this hour, we turn to national news and the priorities of this Presidential administration. Today, we report that Health and Human Services- now led by RFK Jr- plans to reduce their workforce by a full third. Despite claims that the cuts will not result in poorer service, we know that’s simply not true. And […]

Guest: Mike Clemens

Judge Susan Crawford joins us to discuss why she’s running for Supreme Court of Wisconsin. She shows us she has the character to be our next Justice. This race’s spending balloons closer to the projected $100 million price tag. With that in mind, Judge Crawford shares her horror at the richest man in the world […]

Guests: Mike Clemens, Susan Crawford

Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day. Last hour we covered the local news, so now it’s time to turn to the national crapshow. The big story continues to be the national security breach on Signal. This is beyond amateur hour, this is amateur era. Because the only qualification so many of these […]

Guest: Matt Rothschild

Matt Rothschild joins us for the day as cohost. In this first hour, we talk Wisconsin politics. With our next election just days away, we watch as the financial toll of the statewide races climbs astronomically high. Especially when we look to the contributions of the richest man in the world. We reported earlier this […]

Guest: Matt Rothschild

In this hour, we continue our coverage from yesterday on the massive national security breach of classified battle plans shared in a group chat on Signal. Today, the Senate Intelligence Committee held their annual hearing on worldwide threats to our national security. And today, the threats to our national security came from inside the house= […]

Oh boy, it’s only Tuesday huh? Well, let’s get into it. It’s so very nearly time to elect our next Supreme Court Justice in Wisconsin! Make sure to avoid BS this cycle by voting for Judge Susan Crawford! Check your voter registration and all items on your ballot here. Then make a plan and vote […]

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the hour. We begin by picking up on the massive national security breach committed by Cabinet members and top advisors over Signal. The news leaves our typically verbose Professor gobsmacked and nearly speechless. He manages to […]

Guest: Harvey Kaye

We begin the week’s news coverage locally with news on the race for our state’s Supreme Court. With absolute gobs of money pouring in from right and left, this race will be the most expensive judicial election in American history. And the last one in Wisconsin broke the record as well. Now, additionally, President Trump […]

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for the day. Our main discussion this hour is due process- the set order by which justice proceeds in this country. But first, we take a segment to discuss the rallying of Democrats and all those who oppose the tumbling slide into oligarchy […]

Guest: Jim Santelle

Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review, joins us as cohost for the day. In this hour, we discuss the upcoming race to fill a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
