State of the State of the Union

Civic Media ·

2024/03/08

Joe Biden had a great night last night with his State of the Union last night. The best part? How annoyed Republicans were throughout the speech! We even got a (possibly) drunk Van Orden yelling at the President! At least he's consistent with yelling at people at the Capitol... While Biden did great, Republican Katie Britt did... less great with the Republican response. She was weird, breathy, not able to deliver a message. At least Trump loved it! Even if he's alone in that thought, even among

Sleepy Joe vs. Jacked-Up Joe

2024/03/08

Last night, President Joe Biden delivered an excellent State of the Union address. However, our local Wisconsin drunkard Derrick Van Orden didn't think so, shouting out to interrupt the speech. Was he drunk at the time? Crute thinks so. There's certainly precedent of Van Orden being an angry drunk. At the bottom of the hour, our friend Earl Ingram joins in to talk about the State of the Union speech more broadly. Also, what was up with the Republican response? Senator Katie Britt put middle

Civic Media host Jim Santelle joins the Devils, dressing for the job he has, not for the job he wants. There's more than enough legal news going on in the world, and Jim helps the boys break them down. RoJo is still denying that he knew anything about the false elector plan in 2020, even though new texts show that he was well informed about the plot. Is he criminally liable for his role? It's too early to say, says Jim, but wait and see. We'll have to see what Jack Smith has to say... And what

Tonight is the State of the Union, and while Joe Biden is giving one of the most important speeches of his life, Dom's skipping it. Those concerts aren't going to themselves! Speaker Mike Johnson is calling for decorum from his party, and if there's one thing that Republicans are good at, it's being respectful. (Right...) Three-toed Marge is already planning on yelling during the speech, as she is known to do during these events. But the real questions is, how many Republicans will yell out

Welcome to today's Thursday State of the Union show! In the coming hours, Crute will share his own alternate presidential speech, but until then, he regales us with the latest tales of Ron Johnson's ineptitude. More evidence of Johnson's knowledge of the false elector scheme has surfaced. Do you love the Devil’s Advocates and want even more?

Kamala Harris was in Madison today, and Crute got to be in the room with her! She was doing some politicking at the Dem Party Headquarters just blocks from the Civic Media headquarters. Did you know that she grew up in Madison? She did! Right next to one of the lakes, not clear which one. Ron Johnson is in the news again today. Every time he's in the news lately, it's never for something good... Remember when RoJo said that his involvement with the false elector scheme was mere seconds? Well,

Firebrand, pundit, and recently-married man Scot Ross joins the Devils to break down the Super Tuesday results. Haley is out! Phillips is out! 2020 part two is on! Ross has it all covered, and even makes us remember that terrible Scott Walker... On the Biden front, Ross says that Wisconsin should be a slam dunk for the President. Biden has been winning races in Wisconsin that he's not even in, with Evers and Protasiewicz, so when he's actually on the ballot in November, it should be no problem

Vice President Kamala Harris was in Madison today, and Crute was on location to capture the scene for us. Tune in for audio of pro-Palestine protestors, a new proclamation from Madison Mayor Rhodes-Conway, an introduction from Ben Wikler, and some words from Harris herself! Due to her personal history here in Madison, March 6th is now officially Kamala Harris day. At the bottom of the hour, friend of the show Scot Ross returns to talk about the state of Wisconsin politics. Do you love the

Luck of the Orange

Do we enjoy having to read a Charlie Sykes piece? No, but he makes a good point this week. Donald Trump is probably the luckiest politician alive. How else would he be able to stick around without getting into trouble for this long? Dom's got some major objections though. I mean, the guy was flying clear under the radar until he decided to run for president, and what's happened since then? Something something 91 federal indictments? Then - Trickle Down Economics. Does it work? Anyone? Anyone

Michelle Obama for President

It's Super Tuesday, and scores of states are heading to the polls today to vote for their pick for who will represent their party in the November election. Mostly voting for either Biden or Trump. But before we can get to Super Tuesday, Dom and Crute, (and the state of Arizona) have reason to celebrate: Kyrsten Sinema is dropping out! Meanwhile, Republicans have some breaking news about former First Lady Michelle Obama. She is NOT running for President! Almost as if just being married to the

Throwing A Wrench Into Wisconsin Politics

Today, we have a new video of Wisconsin's fake electors! Their applause and cheers suggest that they knew exactly what they were doing, no matter what Andrew Hitt says about being duped. Crute brings us through his thoughts. Crute also takes some time to dump on "Dani California" Eric Hovde's pornstache. Do you love the Devil’s Advocates and want even more?

Chesebro and Jim Troupis (who?) are back in the national news spotlight after settling a civil lawsuit from their efforts to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election. The next few days are going to be interesting, as the 1,400 pages of documents, emails, texts, and even videos come out about their involvement in trying to overthrow the government. The best part? Chesebro may have perjured himself again. Oops! Meanwhile in the Trump White House, new reporter from Newsweek shows

Chuck Chvala sticks with the Devils through the hour to continue breaking down the new legislative maps. But before we get there, a bit of breaking news: SCOTUS has ruled that Trump will be on the ballot for the 2024 presidential election. Crute says that this is a good call, and of course he has to gloat a little bit, as he did see this coming. While the SCOTUS ruling was expected, at least by Crute, the new maps bring a new day to Wisconsin says Chvala. Over in Dom's neck of the woods in

For today's Wisconsin power hour, Crute shares some reporting by Molly Beck of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on the fake elector scheme. Jim Troupis and Ken Chesebro are not done astonishing us. Andrew Hitt may be playing dumb, but Chesebro is too busy perjuring himself to follow that lead. At the bottom of the hour, Crute is joined by former Wisconsin Democratic Leader Chuck Chvala! He and Crute talk about the development of Donald Trump's authoritarianism and its Wisconsin connections. Do

Dom and Crute continue their conversation about rural white rage, especially here in Wisconsin. While not all white people in rural Wisconsin are racist, there is definitely some rage out there... Today's callers even show that that's the case! No matter if your mad at your neighbors, eating cheese and fried fish, or heading to the Jefferson Speedway, there's good people wherever you look. Crute just needs to borrow Dom's car so they can enter the demolition derby there... The Devil’s

It's Friday, which means it's time for the Friday news dump, AKA when lawmakers drop bad news. As the boys get on the air, the WI Supreme Court says that they aren't going to take up a case challenging the state's congressional maps. If the maps can't be challenged, let's just hope that Democrats decide to actually run against some of those yahoos. Looking at you Glenn Grothman! After yesterday's hour-long argument about Foxy News, maybe Dom is changing his mind today after their latest outrage

No Tax Cut Tony

2024/03/01

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Tony Evers has vetoed major portions of a new Republican tax cut proposal. Is this the right call? Evers has said he wants tax breaks for the middle class, and Crute thinks that this veto goes against the interests of Wisconsin. Maybe Tony Evers has fallen into a trap of divisive partisanship, vetoing everything with an R in front of it. Are you looking to clown on Derrick Van Orden?

Foxy News is, guess what, in hot water again, with the White House calling them FALSE on their reporting of the investigation of Hunter Biden. Didn't they just have to pay $800 million for one of the voting machine lawsuits? Guess the White House saw that and though hey, we're eligible for a bit of that pie! But would the President be overstepping his bounds by going after the media? Dom sure thinks so, and says that the next guy in the White House could be Trump, and then the shoe could be on

Trump’s run for the border

Both Trump and Biden made a run for the border today to give dueling press conferences about the border. Biden's trying to get something done, but Trump is stopping him (through the Republicans in Congress), and yelling at Biden about it! He doesn't want something done about the border, because then what he fearmonger on leading up to the election? Bill Press, of the Bill Press Podcast, joins the Devils, and he's fuming. Why? The Supreme Court's decision to take up Donald Trump's total immunity
