Trump has been getting wins, with both his D.C. Jan 6 case being postponed and Fani Willis under scrutiny for employing a lover. Will either of those actually help Trump? Crute thinks it will, Dom thinks it won't, they go blow-to-blow right at the top of the show. The callers and the texters overwhelmingly agree with Dom, much to Crute's dismay. The Fani Willis scandal doesn't change the facts of the case, but it does change the level of respect the Georgia DA's office has from the general

Will the Pentagon tell us when they will strike inside Iran? Will the CIA tell us the truth about whether or not Taylor Swift is a psyop? No, they won't, but they have told us that Joe Biden is going to Vegas this weekend. Of course, he'll be leaving right before Crute get's there next Tuesday to cover the presidential primary election in Nevada. Alan Robinson with Herbal Aspects in Madison joins the Devil's to change his mind about Joe Biden's move to pardon people federally charged with

The national Republican party is in dire straits, as they have their worst fundraising year in decades. Remember, not only due to have to try and reelect Trump, but EVERY Republican in the country. Sorry Tiffany and Van Orden, go look for quarters outside the grocery store. I know! Maybe if they trash Taylor Swift some more, they'll get more people on their side. There's a grab-bag of stupid political news today. Ben Shapiro has a number one song, and the Devil's would not recommend checking it

The WEC is asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court not to let Dean Phillips onto the presidential ballot, saying he sat on his hands for too long. Plus, Dom and Crute celebrate the 7 year anniversary of launching their very own radio station.

A mission from God

Civic Media ·

2024/02/01

House Republicans continue to push to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas over... something? The border? They continue to try and blame him for what's happening there, but it feels like it's more a way to attack Biden. I mean, they have a bipartisan bill that looks to fix the border, and they haven't even read it. Republicans are on a mission from God, as they form a convoy to protect the southern border. The bad news? It immediately went wrong, because of course it did. Not enough

Republicans are trying to hamstring Governor Tony Evers and limit his ability to veto bills. I guess they don't like his work to fund schools for hundreds of years like he did last year... Either way, Republicans want Evers to slice into the woods forever and quit the game. Crute is in a tequila mood as he gets ready for his trip to Las Vegas next week to cover the Nevada presidential primary. Dom, on the other hand, is also in a tequila mood. He doesn't need to go to the Circus Circus to get in

Plan B

Republicans need a plan B, says Jennifer Rubin at the Washington Post. You know, just in case Trumps legal cases continue to go the way they are going. Over half of Republicans say they wouldn't vote for someone charged with a felony. Now, if only someone could tell Republican voters that Trump already has been charged with a felony. Quite of a few of them, I hear! Would you trust Elon Musk to put a microchip in your brain? Dom has no problem with it, hey they've been putting microchips in the

Salty Tony

Dom's in the Madison studio, and he and Crute have a gripe with Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers. Why is he calling Dean Phillips' attempt to get on the ballot "ridiculous?" I suppose he get's a pass today, he did veto the gerrymandered maps passed by the Republican legislature. With the presidential primary in Nevada next week, Republicans are meeting ahead of the election to air their grievances. That's supposed to be on Fridays! But frustrated Republicans, including some from right here in

Crute follows the laws, Dom usually follows them, but Republicans in Texas are deciding that they don't have to. That's after they decided to disregard a Supreme Court ruling to take down barbed wire on the border, and instead said that they have a RIGHT to protect themselves. Protect themselves from who? Migrant families trying to swim the Rio Grande into America? Snoop Dogg, meanwhile, has been smoking something a little different than usual, saying that he has nothing but "love and respect"

The biggest political blunders

2024/01/29

It might be a Monday, but Crute and Dom have a grievance already: why are Democrats working to Dean Phillips off the primary ballot in Wisconsin? We all know what the results are going to be, but why can't people have a choice other than the incumbent President? And where is that directive coming from? Either way, Phillips is going to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to ask them to put him on the ballot. And remember when Hillary came to Wisconsin, poured a terrible beer, then ignored the state for

It's a grievance filled Friday, as we take your calls to air all sorts of sorts of issues over the air. Some are mad that we have to talk about the border when we could be talking about the great state of the economy. Some have concerns about the state of executions in America after what happened last night in Alabama. Still some just want to bitch about Wisconsin Republicans. Hell, we do that every day! But the main conversation topic of the day is the judgement against Trump today in the E

Breaking news as we get on the air, as Trump is ordered to pay $83 million in damages to E. Jean Carroll. Is it as much as Crute thought he would have to pay? No. Is it enough to finally get him to shut up and stop spreading lies about her? Also no. But it'll still hurt. While Trump is having a bad day, so is his attorney Habba. The judge threatened to send HER to jail today for refusing to shut up during the trial. Like client like attorney I guess? And taking your calls, and everyone has to

Morning Cannoli's (or however it's grammatically correct) host Jim Santelle joins the Devil's in the happier happy hour to talk all things Trump trial. Trump testified in the E Jean Carroll case today. Why? He lasted all of three minutes before the judge cut him off and told him to buzz off, so why was he there? Can't be a campaign speech, because there was no audio or video recording of his testimony! While he claims he's never even met E Jean Carroll, prior testimony seems to disagree. In

Lowering the discourse

Joe Biden is back in Wisconsin today, hanging out with Governor Tony Evers and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to talk bridges. The Blatnik Bridge, to be precise, connecting Superior to Duluth. It's not an infrastructure week, it's an infrastructure year. Meanwhile, Wisconsin Republicans passed a doom bill to ban abortions after 14 weeks today. It's going to get a veto from Evers, he's said as much. Why the exercise in futility? Stupid politics, of course. It's really the only thing they're good

Why is it that Donald Trump is okay with quick election results when he wins? That's what happened when he won New Hampshire last night. Didn't feel like staging an insurrection then? Don't feel like harassing election workers when you win? Paul Fanlund with the CapTimes has a new piece out, saying that he's tired of being told to Trumpsters all the time. The media, he says, doesn't want to accept the truth that Trumpsters actually like it when he uses violent and fascistic rhetoric. If our

Crute and Dom have a confession to make... they didn't watch Governor Evers' State of the State address last night. Crute didn't even watch the Badger game yesterday! Didn't he spend all of yesterday bitching about Evers counterprogramming the Badger game? One day after the Bucks fire their head coach, the Packers drop a bombshell today and Fire Joe Barry! Two days, two firings. But Crute has to say, when talking with Civic Media Sports Reporter Mike Clemens yesterday, Crute called who the new

With voters in New Hampshire hitting the polls for today's GOP primary, Dom has a question - how much would Haley have to lose by in order to drop out? Single digits? 20 points? 40 points? Will anyone in the race actually decline to endorse Trump at the RNC in Milwaukee? Plus, is it a mistake for Joe Biden to skip appearing on the ballot in New Hampshire today? Dom says no, Biden is going to be the nominee, so why bother campaigning there until the general election. Crute though, says that the

It's the day Nikki Haley has been waiting for - the New Hampshire primary? Will she win? Will she a least come within spitting distance of Trump? What will it take for her to drop out? Crute hopes she stays in a little while longer, he's got travel plans to follow some primaries later this spring, and there's no way he isn't going to Vegas for the Nevada primary...
