Kamala Harris is coming to town

Civic Media ·

2024/02/29

Vice President Kamala Harris is coming to Madison in just under a week, and Crute's ready to give her a warm welcome to Wisconsin's capitol. It just so happens that the Devil's Advocates recently got some digital billboards around the Madison area, ones that can be updated with a brand new message every single day... Do we use it to welcome Kamala? Or maybe to antagonize someone who's wronged her recently... Matt Rothschild, formerly with the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, comes out of retirement

Trump tried to make a deal with the good people of New York (you know, the ones he owes hundreds of millions to), but they say, no thanks! He's offering them less than a quarter of what he owes, and within hours, a judge denies his request. Time to start liquidating your assets I guess. Hunter Biden gave testimony before Congress on his father's impeachment inquiries today, and had some sharp words for Republicans who continue to push their baseless claims. He released parts of his testimony to

Just as Dom and Crute get together for the second hour of the show, the US Supreme Court announce that they're ready to take up arguments about whether or not Trump has absolute immunity. It will take about eight weeks for the court to even hear oral arguments on the case, which means that, if they do happen to rule before the November election, it won't be until right up until it's too late. Mitch McConnell is on his way out of Senate leadership, and the turtle is on his way out. Crute's

Toss the bums out

Crute is back from Michigan, and ready to tackle today's Wisconsin political world. Specifically, he's ready to tackle the Senate Republicans for firing even more of Governor Evers' appointees. All of them are more than qualified (although maybe that's why Republicans want to fire them), but they're even going after Crute's friends now! You know who else needs to be tossed? Mr. Toxic Tom Tiffany himself. Whether it's his wonderful handiwork here in the state Legislature, where he blocked the

Never Surrender!

Dom is known to exist in a fantasy land, but at least he's grounded enough to know that this November will be a matchup between Biden and Trump. Who's ready for round two? Yes, the airwaves are filled with hopes that someone else will take either the Republican or Democratic spot, but despite Trumps many indictments and Biden's age issues, the two will be the ones on the ballot this fall. Oh, did you know there's a presidential primary election in Michigan today? The Michigan GOP is even having

Crute and Dom have returned to Wisconsin from their short trip to Michigan to hang out in the WAUK studios, as Michigan voters make their way to the polls for the presidential primary election. Crute got an interesting email from Trump today, encouraging him to vote in that election! Is that election fraud? Maybe if he offers him some sneakers... But does Trump have this as tied up as he thinks he is? Liberals are certainly more critical of Biden than conservatives are of Trump, and he only won

Nazi’s at CPAC? Say it ain’t so!

Trump is saying that he shouldn't have to pay bond is his E. Jean Carroll case. Why? Because he's rich! Rich people don't face consequences! The judge doesn't seem to be buying it, but at the end of the day, this is just another delay tactic, he loves those. And who could ever believe that Nazi's might have gone to CPAC! NBC News is reporting that, why the Nazi's had been thrown out in past years, they were seen openly Hitler-salute-ing at this year's conservative Super Bowl. While CPAC

Did Michigan even notice Nikki Haley?

Crute and Dom are live in Michigan to cover tomorrow's primary election! Haley is taking a hard stab to win over the Michigan voters, but did they even notice? If whitey-righty radio is anything go by, no they did not. Speaking of Haley, she lost in her home state of South Carolina over the weekend. But that's okay! Haley isn't mad! She actually did very good, trust her! But if she can't even win in her home state, what's she even still doing in the race? Well, Jennifer Rubin says there's plenty

The former leader of the NRA Wayne LaPierre is in hot water over his ~lavish~ misspending of organization money. Wonder if he took a trip to California... No, Crute took that trip on his own dime, don't worry. But LaPierre was found liable in a lawsuit, in a story landing as we go on the air. Plus, the Russian disinfo agent who fed fake info to Republicans to get Hunter Biden arrested has himself been double arrested. Can you even do that? Yes, you can. But Republicans don't care, which begs the

Crute is back in action from his wine mixer in Catalina, and what a day for local news! Both Gableman AND Janel Brandtjen are under fire? It's a happy Friday on the Devils! To start, remember Adam Steen? That guy who tried to primary Vos in 2022? Well, his campaign may have violated campaign finance laws, thanks to the handy work of Rep. Brandtjen and Donald Trump's own fundraising committee. Talk about election rigging! They love to talk about rigging elections, I suppose it only makes sense

In his last hour before Crute comes back from vacation to give his own... unique takes on the world, Dom is joined by James Santelle to talk the important legal issues in the world today. Santelle is a former US attorney, and host on the Civic Media Network. First - there's a bevy of Trump legal cases to talk about, because there's always a bevy of Trump legal cases to talk about. His plans to stall his January 6th case, and it might be working. Chutkan has to move fast to hear the case,

It's the last day of an only-Dom Devil's, so he's taking advantage of it by doing what of his favorite things - ranting about religion! The Wisconsin Legislature is sending a constitutional amendment to voters this fall that would ban the closure of churches and other places of worship during a health emergency. Remember that whole COVID thing? It was fine, actually, just go to church anyways! Then, Michelle Velasquez with Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin joins the show to talk about why they're

Trump went onto his favorite Foxy News last night, where even he had to censor himself to keep both himself and the network out of trouble. What did he have to say? Well, something about dishwashers I think. But what is he really talking about? The regular xenophobic, racist diatribes about immigrants. He even made up a new word: migrant crime. Why is it that Republicans hate migrants so much, unless they go into professional sports? Otherwise, it was more lies on top of more lies. How long

Crute's still out til the end of the week, but Dom has reason to celebrate. More people came out to vote in yesterday's primary in Milwaukee than they did in Dane County! 11.5% came out in Milwaukee, to Dane County's 7.9%. Now, Milwaukee had a mayoral primary, and Dane County voters had a few county board seats, but still! Milwaukee on the map!

Replacing lead lines! Upgrading wastewater systems! Clean water for all! You kind of need that! Letitia James over in New York is cracking down on Trump, and the state of New York will get paid what he owes them! He has a bit of real estate in New York I think, maybe they'll take that over some cash payments..

But it turns out when Republicans make it harder to vote, they are really making it harder to vote. Especially if you just moved. Do as he says and vote! Meanwhile, California businessman Eric Hovde has officially entered the Senate race here in Wisconsin to try and take down Tammy Baldwin. Good

Callers weigh in on the new maps, are they good? Are they bad? Will Gary stay on topic? Andrew Hitt took to Anderson Cooper and 60 Minutes this weekend to defend himself for his actions serving as a false elector in the 2020 presidential election! He was tricked! He was just scared!

But will that throw a wrench into the special election that will need to happen in Milwaukee? What about the potential Vos recall? Hard to say, but one thing we can say is that Wisconsin's former gerrymandered-to-all-hell are gone, and Wisconsin is finally on the path to have fair representation. Vos is calling it a
