The Dom Salvia Show

Catch up on the best segments from this week of The Dom Salvia Show!

First, an animated exchange from Tuesday with Maggie Daun on the continued lies spewing forth from senate candidate Eric Hovde. He chose to propagate a dangerous lie about FEMA being out of money, due to aid going to undocumented migrants. These lies harm real people and we absolutely cannot accept them.

Next, from Thursday, how IS help for states impacted by natural disasters getting to them? Well, through some socialist policies. And that’s pretty darn good! Socialism built many of this country’s best features.

Then a conversation from Thursday with John Nichols of the Cap Times and The Nation on the presidential race.  As John writes, Harris presents like a Lincoln-era Republican, and as we all see, Trump espouses eugenics. If that last linked article doesn’t spell it out clearly enough for you, you may prefer this one. 

Finally, some outrage and humor with Matt Rothschild on Wednesday, responding to Jesse Waters bizarre assertion that a man who votes for a woman transitions into a woman. Well, at least then they’ll have bodily autonomy…

Yesterday, Donald Trump held a rally in Detroit, where he bashed… Detroit?! While the city has faced its share of hardships, it has turned around admirably, and is increasing in population for the first time in decades. As you may know, Dom is from the greater Detroit area, and he’s justifiably upset. The Harris campaign also released a fantastic new advertisement using Trump’s comments on the great city.

At the bottom of the hour, we’re honored to welcome Brian Karem, former White House correspondent for Playboy and current writer at Salon.com. Notably, he’s won three lawsuits against Donald Trump after his press pass was improperly revoked. He’s been in the business since the days of Ronald Reagan, so he has an inside look on how legacy media has become so unreliable.

For today’s first hour, Dom is joined by Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review on Civic Media! Now that we’ve had some time to review some of Donald Trump’s unsealed court documents, Jim explains the effects that these materials may have on the case and November’s election. Judge Tanya Chutkan appears to be doing her best to advance the case despite Trump’s efforts to delay it. Jim also provides his perspective on the likelihood of Trump serving jail or prison time from his 34 felonies.

Picking up the thread of socialism from the first hour, Dom chats with Dr. Harvey Kaye and John Nichols. Harvey J. Kaye is Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. John is Associate Editor at Cap Times and National Affairs Correspondent at The Nation. Two men with strong knowledge of the history and current state of political affairs in this country.

We talk about the truly remarkable state of this current election. As John writes, Harris presents like a Lincoln-era Republican, and as we all see, Trump espouses eugenics. If that last linked article doesn’t spell it out clearly enough for you, you may prefer this one. And then there are the unions! Teamsters’ President, Sean O’Brien lambasts the Biden administration for not supporting unions enough… Ignoring the vital protection of pensions accomplished with the Butch Lewis Act.

As Hurricane Milton ravages Florida, still reeling from Helene, their Republican governor is doing what he should. He’s marshalling and distributing resources to help his community. Excellent! We love to see it! But do you think he realizes that he’s practicing what he claims to fear so much: socialism? Well, hear us and hear us well. Socialism built this country into what it is. From the roads we drive to the emergency responders we turn to in moments of crises to our schools and each of our elected officials. It’s all socialism baby, and it makes the country work.

Matt Rothschild guest co-hosts with Dom. In this hour, they get to Bob Woodward’s newest bombshell book. Bob Woodward’s legacy of exposing corruption in politics stretches five decades. This time, Woodward peels back veils on conversations among top world officials surrounding some of the most critical upheavals of our lives. The COVID-19 pandemic. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The current Middle-Eastern war. We’re really looking forward to getting our hands on a copy of the book and reading it!

Then, let’s do some compare and contrast of how the two main party candidates respond to crises. Trump lies about FEMA and discourages people from seeking critical aid. Harris leads with a calm certainty, gives clear instructions, and promotes unity. Gee this is a tough choice… Plus, a heart wrenching ad from the Lincoln Project on the real stakes of re-establishing bodily autonomy rights..

So, technically, legally, a candidate *may* lie as part of their campaigning. But that sure doesn’t make it right. Matt Rothschild joins Dom to dig back into Republican lies begun by Trump and spiraling down to Hovde. Plus, more of Hovde’s despicable campaigning techniques. If you find these tactics as distasteful as we do, you can let their campaign know! Give them a call at 608-535-1184. Isn’t it great that our carpetbagging Californian set up a Wisconsin number just for the campaign?

Get the lead out! So says President Joe Biden in his Milwaukee address today as he touts his plan to do just that to our lead water lines. As so many of us know, there is NO safe amount of lead. Replacing these lines should be a top priority for any elected official. Yet the move brings out controversy, with a caller concerned that it will have no effect and is a waste.

Civic host of Rational Revolution, Mark Becker joins us to talk about the relativity of doing good and the future of the GOP post-Trump.

Dom wraps the hour with a reflection on his own political meanderings through the years. He’s supported candidates from a half dozen political parties, some mainstream, some a bit more indie. So when he talks about Trump’s unique disqualifications for president, Dom’s coming at this with a lot of context.

What is truth? Is it subjective or can we agree to a few standards on the difference between fact and opinion? When it comes to where and how the federal government spends money, we do actually have some facts upon which to rely. So when politicians come up with lies about how disaster relief money is being spent on non-disaster relief causes, that’s a problem. And that’s exactly what Trump and his carpetbagging crony Eric Hovde are doing now. We round up a few more of Hovde’s latest lies that hurt the people he’d deign to represent. Maggie Daun joins for the top of the show.

Scot Ross, “Mr. Ethics,” firebrand, and fellow Gemini to Dom, joins us for a fiery talk about the state of politics. Scot’s take on the current nonsense Trump and his ilk spew? It’s ridiculous. And garbage. And trash as well.

Wrapping up the show today, Dom again addresses the dangers of Trump and cronies’ lies. As yet another hurricane barrels towards the south-eastern states, Trump’s lies about FEMA endanger millions of Americans. Even some in his own party are calling for him to knock it off. And when it comes to the sanctity of our elections? Trump’s lies- and his insistence that his party fall in line with him- threaten our next election. As the Speaker of our House cannot even bring himself to admit in so many words that Trump lost the 2020 election, their party sets the stage to challenge a Harris victory in 4 weeks.
