We begin with continuing coverage on the economic situation. Today, the markets continued their tailspin, though the pace slowed somewhat. In a turnaround from his first term, President Trump now urges against watching the markets, asserting that their failure is not tied to them… although he’s often claimed the “Trump effect” when the markets do well.
A major contributing factor to the decline? Uncertainty over tariffs and a growing global trade war. As Trump institutes, then revokes, then increases, then decreases tariffs, the markets are jittery. So are Americans, concerned over the tax hikes presented by tariffs. But not to worry! Our White House Press Secretary insists that tariffs aren’t tax hikes, in fact, they’re tax cuts! Now of course, that’s just plain not true. And what are our elected officials doing? Well, our senior senator representing Wisconsin, Ron Johnson is once more “concerned,” though he has no plan of action to do anything about it.

Guests: Angela Lang, Josh KaulThe second part of the Morning Show on March 11 featured members of Project Seed. They spoke with Phil about an upcoming sale being held at St. Mary's in Richland Center.
Guest: Phil NeeThe first part of the Morning Show on March 11 put the spotlight on the River Valley Area Community Garden as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Guest: Phil NeeHarvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the hour. We begin with Harvey’s reaction and take on the potential looming Trumpcession. Then, we shift to what We the People can do about the oligarchization (Harvey’s word) of our government, press, and world. Well, we can protest. We can protest in our actions and in what we buy- as we are seeing with mass rejections of Tesla. And we can protest with how we choose to spend our time and to whom we give our labor. On that note, yet another Washington Post columnist and editor- Ruth Marcus- leaves, citing conscience and journalistic principles. In an age of decreasing diversity of major news outlets, Harvey sings praise of our own humble project here at Civic Media.
We conclude news coverage two itmes. First, the platform formerly known as Twitter suffered multiple outages today, apparently due to cyberattacks from a group called Dark Storm. Second, our President cheered the arrest of a permanent resident immigrant on… well no charges at all. Mahmoud Khalil, a green-card carrying resident, was arrested by ICE following President Trump’s executive order relating to campus protests. This is distressing, and a call to action for us all.
Still, we end the day with something good. Because it matters. And because there is good to be celebrated, cherished, and protected in this crazy world.

Guests: Harvey Kaye\We’ll be honest, the economic news today is not good. With our President refusing to rule out a recession as a consequence of his bullheaded and chaotic tariffs, markets are down and volatility are WAY up. This will be no standard recession should it come. It will be a Trumpcession. What can we do to stop a Trumpcession? Well, we can stay engaged. And we can work to oust the oligarchs who’ve taken over our government. To that end, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) rallied with overflow crowds in Kenosha on Friday and in Altoona on Saturday. The theme of the rallies: get the money out of politics! It may not be enough to ward off a Trumpcession, but it will protect deomocracy.

Santelle, John Maino, Jim Schmitt, Will Kocken, Gordy Young, John Peterson, Laura BirdTo begin the hour, Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project shares some new research from the Lincoln Democracy Institute with the Todd Allbaugh Show. For the last year, they've been talking with thousands of Americans in swing states, including Wisconsin. These discussions went far beyond the typical poll, asking not just what people think, but WHY they think it. The results can teach us a lot about connecting with our neighbors and having difficult discussions.
Then on the Dom Salvia Show, Dom and Earl Ingram discuss a potential looming recession due to the economic chaos of the second Trump administration. The news is bad but the discussion is great!
Next on the Maggie Daun Show, Maggie is joined by guest co-host Tom Palzewicz. Jeff, a conservative caller from Superior, explains why he believes Trump has the right to change laws. Turns out the Constitution, as Jeff believes, does not give Trump that right.
Finally, Milwaukee Film Critic, Matt Mueller joins the Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba. Matt and Pete talk about Adrien Brody's long acceptance speech at the Oscars, the winners of awards and their thoughts, and what should've been nominated but wasn't.

First, from Wednesday’s second hour with Matt Rothschild. Our president delivered an address to a joint session of Congress. We have thoughts…
Next, we turn to Tuesday’s second hour as Jess guest hosted with Harvey Kaye. The real conflict in this country has never been Democrat vs. Republican. It’s oligarch “economic royalists” vs. the rest of us.
Then, from Thursday’s second hour with Earl Ingram as cohost with Dom. As we discuss the devastating cuts to veterans’ benefits and care, friend of the network LuAnn Bird calls to share her and her husband’s story. Then, should Rep. Al Green have been censured for his simple defiance during the 47th POTUS’ address to Congress? Probably not. So we listen to his powerful remarks.
And of course, we finish with something good. This also comes from Wednesday’s second hour, as Matt shares a gorgeous poem.
