The Dom Salvia Show

Well, it’s here. During summer we had so much hope. Coming into November we really believed. And now here we are. The Lions have lost their shot at a championship. Of course, today is also the second inauguration for Donald Trump, now the 47th President of the United States. We take time to listen to some of the lowlights from his speech. So Trump’s second presidential term begins. What will success look like? What metrics are we going to use to measure success? We’ll see.

In a bit of dark irony, today is also a national day to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As much as today’s inauguration sucks and reveals the weaknesses in our democracy, Dom and Jess urge you- remember that we as a nation have faced great darkness before and fought for light. If you find yourself needing a reminder, check out these Milwaukee students’ essays on the Reverend King’s legacy of compassion and courage.

Kicking off the weekend, we recall Jane, Greg and Cal inviting Steven Arenzon, the owner of Wisconsin Knitcaps to the show to talk about the legacy of the company, the mission of what they do and why he just doesn't want to print anything with cussing! It is the relaunch of our Beyond The Cheese segment and he brought us custom made hats to celebrate!

Wrapping up the hour, Tim Slekar talks about multiple intelligences on the John & Gordy Show, and John and Kathryn give examples of how when they were kids, teachers allowed them to express learning in different ways, rather than a standardized test - and how that needs to be emphasized more now.

First, Jack Smith’s report on the January 6th insurrection and Donald Trump’s role in it, with Maggie Daun from Tuesday’s first hour.

Then, how bad of a problem is wealth inequality? Hear from our favorite Delano Democrat Harvey Kaye from the second hour of Monday’s show.

Next, on Wednesday, the warring parties in Israel and Gaza agreed to a three phase ceasefire and hostage deal. The event bears strange echoes to the Iranian hostage crises of 1979-1980, which Dom discusses with Matt Rothschild and a disgruntled frequent caller with too much disinformation in his diet. This, from the first hour of Wednesday’s show.

Finally, we remember Mr. Baseball, Bob Uecker, with Civic Media sports reporter Mike Clemens from the first hour of our Thursday show.

Have a great weekend, we’ll catch ya on Monday!

A local man is celebrating a big birthday! Bernie Couey sat down to talk about turning 101 years old.

The January 17 Morning Show featured an update on the Richland School District. The update included information on the award that Richland Center High School Band Director, Jeff Behrens, had recently received.

Earl Ingram joins us as cohost for the day.

The federal minimum wage, on this day in 2025, is $7.25. Just as it’s been for the past 15 years. That’s a shameful legacy for America. Today in the rush of Senate confirmation hearings of this week, Senator Bernie Sanders pressed the Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent on raising this pitiful standard. Bessent declined. Turning to our environment, in Sander’s questioning, nominee Lee Zeldin says he does believe climate destruction is a significant threat and is not a hoax! That’s some good news, we guess, though the bar’s damn low.

We move then to Biden’s farewell address to the nation. In it, Biden ponders on the legacy he leaves behind as well as that which our greater American society is building. Particularly, Biden raises alarm over the growing strength of oligarchies in this country.

Today we say goodbye to Mr. Baseball, Bob Uecker. Bob was the voice of Milwaukee baseball- and lent his talents to nationwide baseball media- for decades. His love for the game infused each of his broadcasts, bringing joy to untold millions of listeners. To the end, Bob did his city of Milwaukee proud. Mike Clemens, Civic Media sports reporter, joins us at the bottom of the hour to share some favorite memories of Mr. Baseball. Bob Uecker, thank you for all you gave us.

For the middle of the hour, Dom and Earl turn their attention to the Wisconsin governorship. Tony Evers, now in the midst of his second term, reportedly has not yet decided if he will seek a third. Dom and Earl discuss, with audience participation, if indeed Evers, who will be 75 when the next election rolls around, should pursue another term. He’s served Wisconsin well, but is it time for him to pass the baton? And if so, to whom?
