The Dom Salvia Show

Earl Ingram cohosts for the day with Dom. Dom and Earl continue to discuss together and with our audience what led us here, with President-Elect Trump. Is it wrong to be woke? Hell nah!

Dom and Earl begin to discuss Trump's newest picks to fill his Cabinet. They're... wild. From anti-vaxxer RFK for Health and Human Services to walking scandal Matt Gaetz for head of the Department of Justice.

In today's second hour, Matt Rothschild sticks with Dom to cover the rest of Donald Trump's cabinet nominations that we know so far. Also, even though Trump hasn't started his second term, he's hinting to House Republicans that he may run for a third. Shocker. It's almost like he told us that this was exactly the kind of nonsense he'd try to pull. All of this chaos begs the question: can we build back to a functional democracy without allowing Trump to enact Project 2025? Is it possible to shake sense back into America while bypassing the likely bloodshed, be it metaphorical or literal? These are questions we don't yet have the answers to.

Our friend Matt Rothschild joins Dom today to break some news: Matt Gaetz has been nominated as Trump's Attorney General pick! He is only the latest unserious pick for a position he is wholly unqualified for.

At the bottom of the hour, Dr. Tim Slekar of BustED Pencils joins us to talk about what the future may look like without the Department of Education. Education is the bedrock of democracy, and if the Trump administration manages to cripple or eliminate this department, the consequences may be dire.

Since last Tuesday around 11pm, Dom and Jess have, like so many Americans, wrestled with a question. How in the hell did we get here? Among the many, many, MANY opinions swirling around: this is simply who we are. Dom and Jess were both struck by Elie Mystal's article on Friday in The Nation. Elie's piece, "There's no denying it anymore: Trump is not a fluke- he is America," has been rattling around in both our brains since. So Dom reads it out loud for all of you.

It's Tuesday's first hour, so we've got Overtime with Maggie Daun! Maggie sticks around for a bonus half hour with Dom after her 2-4pm show to talk about what the hell happened last week Tuesday. In short, people were feeling deep existential angst, especially around the economy, and it turned out votes. Plus, the Wisconsin Supreme Court is hearing arguments regarding our current abortion law- from 1849. Maggie and Dom listen and react to some of justices' demonstrations of justified fury for the antiquated law.

Then, Dan Shafer- Civic Media Political Editor and creator of The Recombobulation Area- joins us for more analysis. Dan shares his top 10 takeaways from the election, and brings an update on Eric Hovde's refusal to concede the Senate race to Tammy Baldwin.

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?

Jodi Habush Sinykin, Senator-Elect for Wisconsin District 8, joins Dom to talk about what's next. With fairer maps reducing the Republican advantage in the district from 12 points to 6, Jodi won a narrow victory to bring much improved representation to the people of SD-8. She's focused on what we do now to improve the lives of Wisconsinites, starting with building community.

In the news today regarding Wisconsin, our Supreme Court is hearing arguments on our current abortion law from 1849. In the news regarding our country, we elected a monster and we're still grappling with that.

For this week's best-of, we're revisiting the second hour of Thursday's show: Make Every Day Count.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have two months and change remaining in their administration. So what should they do with this time? What guardrails can they install in these final weeks to protect our republic from the incoming group. Jim Santelle brings legal guidance for what reasonable steps our current administration could take. He also provides some clarity on the pending cases against President-elect Trump, who will face sentencing in just under three weeks. Unless it all gets thrown out...

In addition, we continue to process the loss of the presidency with our audience.

Earl Ingram cohosts for the day with Dom. We continue our post-mortem of the 2024 Presidential election with our callers. In this election, disinformation reigned and white male fragility spurred too many to action. So what do we do now? How do we enact safeguards for our constitution, for this country that we love? And how do we talk to the people in our circles who did this to us? Pressingly, is this the truest form of America revealed?

To everyone who voted for Trump: what does a successful Trump presidency look like? What are your top priorities? And how will you respond if AND WHEN Trump fails you again? How will you hold him accountable for it all?

With Earl Ingram as cohost, Dom and our callers dig into how we got here. How did disinformation and hatred win the election for Trump? Well, in too many ways. As some of our callers demonstrate, a little disinformation and a little white male fragility goes a LONG way.
