Civic Media Spotlight

Maggie Daun examines the H-1B visa fight that erupted in the MAGA-verse over the holidays. Is that fight REALLY about immigration and working people in the U.S.? Maggie thinks not! She points out Trump's flip flopping (translation: lies) about H1-Bs, Musk's self-serving position, and the overwhelming evidence that the MAGA talking points on immigration ain't nothing but smokescreen and bait for the base. What this is and always has been about: the corrupting influence of the billionaire class on public policy, epitomized by Elon Musk. The kleptocracy is here.

Maggie also shares breaking news on the California wildfires.

Maggie and Laura talk through what a new round of Trump tax cuts could look like.

Then, the Earl Ingram Show is joined by Alan Borsuk, Senior Fellow in Public Policy at Marquette Law School, to discuss the issues facing Milwaukee Public Schools. Earl and Alan talk about the politics of how the state funds education, how mismanagement led to the current problems, and the path ahead for the district.

After that on the Dom Salvia Show, Dom and cohost of the day Earl Ingram discuss the desperate need for elder leaders to pass the torch. With the average age of a US Senator being 68 years and a distinct lack of youth voices in politics, it's no wonder young people didn't turn up to vote. We need elected officials who represent AND resemble their constituents.

We close out the weekend with a segment from WGBW and WISS's morning program, Maino and the Mayor. The guys talk about this day in 1967 when the famed Ice Bowl took place in Green Bay. The Packers beat the Cowboys, and the goalpost came down. We visited this great memory with several guests, including former reporter Tony Walter.

Following that on the Todd Allbaugh Show, Todd updates listeners on the tragic attack in New Orleans in the early hours of New Year's Day. His focus in this segment is on the Fox News coverage. They made up lies about the alleged perpetrator before anybody really had any information, stating that he was an illegal immigrant and this is all Joe Biden's fault. In reality, he was a citizen of Texas and an Afghanistan veteran. Todd emphasizes the importance of truth, and how Fox News has continually failed to reach that goal.

In their discussion, Phillip and Dan explore proposals designed to provide state counties with a slight increase in funding to sustain programs that are at risk of elimination, which would be financed through a moderate sales tax. Phillip also addresses the perception of state funding to local governments as a progressive compromise in the context of Act 12.

Dan further discusses the role of the Joint Finance Committee in developing a budget for shared revenue, highlighting the financial losses incurred by not implementing Medicaid Expansion for BadgerCare, which would make healthcare more affordable rather than offering less coverage for higher costs.
