The Dom Salvia Show

Matt Rothschild joins us as our regular Wednesday guest. A woman’s perspective. The most recent poll from the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics shows that young voters are ready and excited to vote for Kamala Harris. Harris holds a particular edge with young women, with a 47% margin lead over Trump. No surprise there. Still, those numbers give us a lot of optimism! Next, we address a response to Trump’s comments yesterday about being a “protector” of women, insisting that women will “no longer be thinking about abortion”. Producer Jess delivers a dramatic reading of Alexandra Petri’s (Washington Post) satirical piece, “It is so much nicer to be a woman in Trump’s world”.

We wrap the show with a discussion of Biden’s farewell address to the UN yesterday. President Biden spoke with clarity, compassion, and grace, showing true leadership perspective on the challenges this world faces.

We hear and read frequent complaints that Kamala Harris doesn’t provide specifics when it comes to policy. Well, today, Harris laid out detailed and specific economic policy in Pittsburgh. In contrast, her opponent’s proposed policy… well… lacks all substance. Tune in for our highlights with our regular guest, Matt Rothschild.

In the bottom of the hour, we address the disparate ways the media (sometimes ourselves included) cover Trump and Harris. Harris too often receives criticism for lack of content. And Trump far too often benefits from significant sanewashing of his absolutely inane speech and behavior. We’re trying to do better.

First, a short update on the federal case being prosecuted against Trump for inciting a violent insurrection on January 6th, 2021. Then, an update from Springfield Ohio. A non-profit group, Haitian Bridge Alliance, filed criminal charges against both Donald Trump and JD Vance. The charges assert that the intentional lies spread by the two imperil the Haitian immigrants in Springfield and throughout the country.

Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, joins us for the second half hour. As the majority of voters tune in fully for this election cycle, Ben lays out the stakes and the energy in this sprint to election day. Differences between the two major party candidates abound.

For the first half hour, Maggie Daun has more to say on the matter of abortion. Trump says women won’t even be thinking about it if he’s re-elected. We say, women won’t be able to STOP thinking about abortion until it full bodily autonomy rights are restored and codified in national law.

Next, Bill Carroll- President of Wisconsin Teamsters Join Council 39– joins Dom. This local chapter of the Teamsters chose to endorse Kamala Harris. This, despite the national Teamsters organization refusing to give either major party candidate their endorsement. So why did the national Teamsters abstain from endorsing and why are Wisco Teamsters charting their own course? Tune in!

With new fairer maps, Wisconsin finally has a chance for a Legislature that accurately reflects the deep purple nature of our state. And a chance to do some good, to invest in the causes that the people of Wisconsin want to support. Let’s shake things up on November 5th and get a Legislature that really represents us!

Last week, Dom began addressing the horrifying comments and behaviors attributed to Lt. Governor Mark Robinson of North Carolina, who is now running for Governor of that state. At the top of the hour, Dom and Producer Jess break down some updates on this election in NC. Over the weekend, Robinson’s campaign experienced a staff exodus. Perhaps they fled after Robinson declined several offers for professional tech assistance in getting to the bottom of just WHO made those obscene comments on a porn site attributed to Mark… Dom also takes a stroll through the worst things Robinson has said– last updated in March of this year.

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, joins Dom at the half hour to continue the conversation.

A Heritage Foundation advisor claims that Haiti would be economically better off if they had remained colonized- that the Black population would remain enslaved- by the French for an extra few decades.

In a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on hate crimes, John Kennedy verbally assaulted the executive director of the Arab American Institute. Senator Kennedy opened his questioning of Ms. Berry by stating in a somewhat questioning tone “you support Hamas do you not?”. He proceeded to lie to her face about what she had said, talk over her, and tar her with disgusting anti-Arab language. It’s abhorrent and unacceptable.
