The Dom Salvia Show

Bill Press, host of the Bill Press Pod, joins the Devils fresh off of jury duty. And no, it was Trump's E. Jean Carroll trial today. Press helps the Devils find out whether or sitting President can be charged, or if they have a get-out-of-the-courtroom free card.

Plus, Press gives his thoughts on yesterday's caucuses. He says that yesterday only shows that Republicans will continue to bend the knee to the supreme Republican overlord. And do the other primaries even matter at this point?

But you know who yesterday was good for? Joe Biden, surprisingly. At least, that's according to pundits, who say that Trump going up against Biden in November can only mean good things for Democrats, as undecided voters and independents ask themselves: do they really want another four years of Trump?

Crute and Dom are back in Madison after their trip to Dubuque, Iowa for the Iowa Caucuses, where the final results were just about what everyone expected. Trump blows everyone else out of the water, and even though DeSantis came in second, does it really matter? Who cares, how was the meatloaf?

The boys recount their tales of attending one of the caucuses yesterday, and Crute is calling it RIGGED!!! Okay not really, but the results were called before the team captains had completed their speeches in Dubuque. Was it rigged, or is that just what happens when Trump is the belle of the ball and takes so many votes so fast? Don't worry, even Trump's people think it's rigged!

That doesn't matter to people like Vivek Ramaswamy or Asa Hutchinson though, because they're already out of the race. At least one of them has already backed Trump, I'll let you guess which one.

At the end of the day, there is really just one question remaining. If Trump is found guilty, either in a civil case or of one of the many felonies he's charged with, would that matter to Republicans, and would he still be the nominee? I mean, he's back in court again today, and polling shows that GOP voters just don't care, and that him being found guilty will only make them more likely to vote for him.

The Iowa Caucus is just hours away, and Dom and Crute are at the Shot Tower Inn in Dubuque to talk with voters and get a feel of how voters are feeling today. They spend some time looking back at the past few decades of caucuses, and wonder if Republicans winning Iowa is actually important at the end of the day.

Crute makes some bold predictions: Trump is going to win Iowa tonight. Okay, that isn't a bold prediction, but calling for DeSantis to drop out tomorrow morning sure is. A better question might be, is DeSantis another Scott Walker? Probably!

It's Iowa Caucus day, and Crute and Dom make their way to the Shot Tower Inn in Dubuque to talk with voters and see what they can learn at the first GOP presidential contest of 2024. How much will Trump win by? Will Ron DeSantis cry today? Does anyone still care about Ramaswamy? How's the meatloaf in Iowa?

Before going to the Shot Tower Inn, the Devil's took a trip to a local diner to ask people who they'll be caucusing for tonight. Some are never-Trumpers, others say we had it made when Trump was President. Either way, these are the people going to tonight's caucuses.

And while we don't love taking a look at the polling, it is the start of the horse race, and it isn't looking great for Biden. While his favorability continues to fall, Trump continues to sit as the GOP frontrunner, and Haley sits at the best against Biden in the general election.

The best of the Devil's Advocates Radio Show for the week of January 13.

Even as he suffers from a weather-induced power outage, Jim Santelle joins the show tonight for some candlelight cannoli! As an attorney, he tells us all about Donald Trump's latest legal troubles. It appears that Trump's lawyers have dug themselves into a hole, making absolutely nonsensical and contradictory arguments to drag out the legal process.

As we air the grievances this Friday, Crute reminds us that it is indeed possible to die while shoveling snow. Dom asks what kids are for if not to shovel snow, and the Devils take your calls on snow and other topics.

To make amends for offending listeners yesterday, Crute has promised to take it easy on the controversy today. To kick it off, Crute brings us an opinion article from The Raw Story on the apparent incompetence of modern news media.

As always on Fridays, Alan Robinson of Herbal Aspect joins us for some 4:20 facts! This week, there's a lot to talk about, as state Republicans have created a bill to legalize medicinal marijuana in Wisconsin. As an industry expert, Alan weighs in on what he feels is a terrible bill.

Democratic strategist Joe Zepecki returns to the show! He lets us know what to expect this Monday at the Iowa caucus. Will the extreme weather change the results? Will those results in turn change expectations for November's election? Tune in to find out!

Trump's town hall last night blew the CNN debate out of the water, both in presentation and in viewers. We expect Fox News not to fact check anything, the least CNN could do was fact check Haley and DeSantis!

But did Trump actually look good? Crute thinks so, thanks to the lack of a fact check, he could say anything he wanted regardless of whether he was on something or not.

Dom very passionately disagrees, and that what Trump was saying was so incomprehensible that there is nothing that anybody could see of value in what he's say.

But is "Weekend at Bernies"-ing Joe Biden enough for him to beat Trump in November? Can Biden even hold a town hall style interview?

Crute has made it out alive for his first trip to Iowa this month, and he brings with him a slew of stories of his time attending the CNN debate last night. Namely, where he's taking Dom for meatloaf when they return to Iowa for the caucus next Monday.

Trump had a busy 24 hours, starting with his town hall counter-programming on Fox News last night, then spouting off at his New York trial today. Something about Exxon leaving New York? You mean when they left in the 1980s?

With a snow storm yesterday, another one tomorrow, and then a bitter cold snap bringing bitter cold weather on Monday, will that have any impact on caucus votes on Monday? Dom and Crute will have to see for themselves when to head to Dubuque next week.

And while we love the idea of recalling Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, regardless of who's doing it, it's run into a roadblock just one day after being filed. Because the state Supreme Court ruled to draw new legislative maps last year, Vos doesn't know what his district is going to look like, and thus can't run in anything until those maps are figured out. Who would have thought that Vos' ass would be saved by the woke Supreme Court's maps decision!

Crute risked life and limb to get to Des Moines to make it in the room where CNN's GOP presidential primary debate is taking place tonight, and what does he get? He get's told to shut his trap! That's not the first time Crute's been told to quiet down.

Speaking of the debate, who even is watching the debate tonight? Who knows, but one things for sure, if DeSantis can't blow Haley out of the water, that might be the end of his campaign. Trump sure won't be watching, he's got his own counter-programming on the Foxy News. Christie might be watching, but who cares, he quit!

And when Trump does win the nomination (let's face it), who will be his VP pick? Well, that depends. Who's the hottest Republican out there today? Dom's always loved his MTG, but CJ has his own pick for hottest Republican, hailing all the way from beautiful South Dakota.

Oh, and Ron Johnson said something stupid today. What else is new?
