It was a busy news week around the state and country this week, here are a number of topics that Civic Media hosts shared how the news affected our communities around across Wisconsin this week.

Up first this hour, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul joins the Dom Salvia Show and cohost for the day Earl Ingram to discuss how and why Wisconsin joined a lawsuit against Donald Trump. In the first hours of his second Presidential term, Trump issued an Executive Order that would strip some born in the United States of citizenship. Of course, that directly violates Section 1 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution granting citizenship to all those born or naturalized in the US. Hence the lawsuit. In Kaul's words- a disastrous way to start his second term.

Then, on Matenaer On Air, Jane and Greg cover the pardons that were issued for everyone who took part in the January 6 insurrection, including those who were charged with violent offenses, on Donald Trumps first day back in the Oval Office. That is even after the administration said it would go over the cases thoroughly and wouldn't seek to pardon those convicted of violent crimes, the show discusses the people from Wisconsin who participated in the event.

Up next on this weekend's Spotlight, State Assembly Rep. Francesca Hong (D-Madison) talks to UpNorthNews Radio's Pat Kreitlow about the many issues to be debated during the new session of the Wisconsin Legislature—with a main emphasis on her “Healthy School Meals For All” proposal.

Finally, on the Todd Allbaugh Show, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported this week that CBS 58 in Milwaukee fired weather reporter Sam Kuffel for criticizing Elon Musk on her personal social media. While there may have been a legitimate reason to lay her off, the subsequent silence from CBS 58 speaks volumes. The Todd Allbaugh Show discusses this dangerous precedent set very early on in Donald Trump’s presidency. If media companies fire people in their weather departments for criticizing somebody who isn’t even an elected official, trust in news departments will likely deteriorate even further.

Then, from Wednesday’s first hour with Matt Rothschild: was that a Nazi salute from Musk? That was ABSOLUTELY a Nazi salute performed by Elon Musk.

Finally, hear something good from Wednesday’s second hour, with a poem selected by Matt Rothschild, and a clearing of the record from Dom.

Jim Santelle, former US Attorney and host of Amicus: A Law Review joins us as cohost for the day.

In alarming news, the 47th President’s Justice Department ordered a freeze on ALL civil rights cases currently in progress. DoJ officials may not file any new civil rights briefs, complaints, or court papers “until further notice.” Also alarming, United States citizens have already been caught up in ICE sweeps seeking undocumented immigrants. In Arizona, members of the Navajo Nation reportedly have been detained. In New Jersey, the mayor of Newark reports that US citizens, including a military veteran, have been questioned and detained. The worst part of this is that those unlawfully detained would file their complaints through the Civil Rights office of the DoJ. Which, as a reminder, has been told to freeze all cases and not open any new ones.

Stay vigilant out there. Know your rights. Stand up for yourself and those around you.

Jim Santelle joins us as cohost for the day.

We begin by checking in on the firing of Milwaukee meteorologist Sam Kuffel for her privately shared opinions. Sam, like so many of us, noted with disgust and horror Elon Musk performing a Nazi salute– multiple times!– at the inauguration. And she did exactly what we hope anyone would do. She called it out and denounced it in the strongest terms. Next, we turn to the matter of birthright citizenship. On the first day of his second term, President Trump (wow that’s painful to write) issued an Executive Order seeking to strip citizenship from some born in the United States in direct violation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Immediately, many states, organizations, and individuals stood up and pushed back. Seattle federal attorney John C. Coughenour decried the move as “blatantly unconstitutional” as he set a temporary hold on the order. It’s an example of what we need to do: push back.

Board members from GRACE were on the program on January 24 to provide an update after a recent meeting.

Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day.

At the top of the hour, Bill Press– pundit, podcaster, prognosticator, and pal of the show- joins us. Bill, a longtime California resident, weighs in on the LA area fires. He’s also an extremely experienced navigator of Trump’s BS. Bill shares some guidance on how to sift through the firehose of executive orders, meandering social media policy announcements, and flurry of shiny object distractions. Because we simply can’t focus on all of it. And we need to be able to focus on what’s important. We’re choosing to focus on what’s most important, like y’know a President attempting to change the Constitution with an Executive Order.

Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day.

At the top of the hour, we talk with Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul. On President Trump’s first day back in office, he issued an absolute slew of executive orders, some within the bounds of Presidential authority, some not. Amongst those orders was one that attempts to strip citizenship from some children born in the United States. Now, the 14th Amendment to our Constitution leaves no room for ambiguity- all those born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of this nation. Immediately, many states, including Wisconsin, filed a lawsuit to prevent this unconstitutional order from taking effect. Today, a Seattle federal judge- appointed by Reagan- slapped down the order as “blatantly unconstitutional.” Wisconsin’s Attorney General agrees wholeheartedly.
