Dr. Kristin Lyerly joins the Devil's on the 51st anniversary of the Roe v Wade Supreme Court ruling, that was overturned in 2022 by the Dobbs decision. Dr. Lyerly talks about the current state of reproductive health care in Wisconsin, and why she's been working in Minnesota. Plus, people say that Biden is too old, but Trump is not that much younger than him! And say what you will about Biden, but at least he isn't blaming Nikki Haley for the lack of security on January 6th! Spoiler alert: Trump

The VEEP came to Wisconsin today, so you know Crute had to be in the room where it happens to watch her talk!

Dom is hot with grievances on a Friday, saying that corporations are driving inflation across the country. And they are! So remember, when you're paying extra for diapers, Procter & Gamble are to blame. Crute, meanwhile, has some good news! About Joe Biden even! He's cancelling even more student loans. But oh, they're for people in selfish professions, like teachers and fire fighters... Then, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that enthusiasm to vote amongst Black voters in Milwaukee is

Crute is getting ready for the weekend early, broadcasting live from his cabin alongside his dog, who just wants to bury his bone! But that's not his real grievance this Friday, it's that Scott Walker is still being talked about! At least he's being discussed as running one of the worst presidential campaigns of all time... Alan Robinson, cofounder of Herbal Aspects, helps us figure out what's going on with the medical marijuana bills being discussed by Wisconsin Republicans. Would we be getting

Searching for Good News

2024/01/19

Crute has an early grievance - how come there isn't any good news about Joe Biden? After Googling "Good News for Joe Biden," the last thing to show up? November. Why isn't anybody talking about the good things that Biden has done? Then, why do so many conservatives think Michelle Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee for president in November? Just because she was married to a president? No shade to Michelle Obama, but if something were to happen to Joe Biden, wouldn't the VP be the next in

Wisconsin's top GOP conspiracy theorist Janel Brandtjen get's rebuffed by her own party, getting called a grifter by Rep. Tyler August. Now Vos may not like what Brandtjen is slinging, but who does he have to blame but himself! He's the one elevated her! But Crute has a bad thought, what would those kids between Brandtjen and August look like...? He's asking because love is in the air on today's Devil's Advocates!

Trump is back in the courtroom once again, this time for defaming E. Jean Carroll. Trump even pulled a Dom, and got chastised by the judge for being disruptive during court. Dom's been told to quiet down plenty of times! Then, callers weigh in on whether or not it's okay to be mean to Republicans. CJ sure doesn't think we should be! But of course he'd say that, he's CJ. And it seems like everyone around Trump is disliked, even his lawyers! But wait, is it mean to call someone a hack

Everyone gets a map

The liberal Elias Law Group has filed a new lawsuit with the Wisconsin Supreme Court looking to overturn the state's congressional maps. Republicans hold six of the state's eight congressional seats, meaning that Dom has to do some math on the radio to figure out if that's a lot or not. Republicans say that they hold so many seats because they have great policies. But Grothman? Van Orden? Are they really the best Wisconsin can offer? Speaking of maps, the proposed legislative maps were

Bill Press, host of the Bill Press Pod, joins the Devils fresh off of jury duty. And no, it was Trump's E. Jean Carroll trial today. Press helps the Devils find out whether or sitting President can be charged, or if they have a get-out-of-the-courtroom free card. Plus, Press gives his thoughts on yesterday's caucuses. He says that yesterday only shows that Republicans will continue to bend the knee to the supreme Republican overlord. And do the other primaries even matter at this point? But

Crute and Dom are back in Madison after their trip to Dubuque, Iowa for the Iowa Caucuses, where the final results were just about what everyone expected. Trump blows everyone else out of the water, and even though DeSantis came in second, does it really matter? Who cares, how was the meatloaf? The boys recount their tales of attending one of the caucuses yesterday, and Crute is calling it RIGGED!!! Okay not really, but the results were called before the team captains had completed their speeches

The Iowa Caucus is just hours away, and Dom and Crute are at the Shot Tower Inn in Dubuque to talk with voters and get a feel of how voters are feeling today. They spend some time looking back at the past few decades of caucuses, and wonder if Republicans winning Iowa is actually important at the end of the day. Crute makes some bold predictions: Trump is going to win Iowa tonight. Okay, that isn't a bold prediction, but calling for DeSantis to drop out tomorrow morning sure is. A better

How much will Trump win by? Will Ron DeSantis cry today? Does anyone still care about Ramaswamy? How's the meatloaf in Iowa? Before going to the Shot Tower Inn, the Devil's took a trip to a local diner to ask people who they'll be caucusing for tonight. Some are never-Trumpers, others say we had it made when Trump

Even as he suffers from a weather-induced power outage, Jim Santelle joins the show tonight for some candlelight cannoli! As an attorney, he tells us all about Donald Trump's latest legal troubles. It appears that Trump's lawyers have dug themselves into a hole, making absolutely nonsensical and contradictory arguments to drag out the legal process. As we air the grievances this Friday, Crute reminds us that it is indeed possible to die while shoveling snow. Dom asks what kids are for if not to

Trump's town hall last night blew the CNN debate out of the water, both in presentation and in viewers. We expect Fox News not to fact check anything, the least CNN could do was fact check Haley and DeSantis! But did Trump actually look good? Crute thinks so, thanks to the lack of a fact check, he could say anything he wanted regardless of whether he was on something or not. Dom very passionately disagrees, and that what Trump was saying was so incomprehensible that there is nothing that

Crute has made it out alive for his first trip to Iowa this month, and he brings with him a slew of stories of his time attending the CNN debate last night. Namely, where he's taking Dom for meatloaf when they return to Iowa for the caucus next Monday. Trump had a busy 24 hours, starting with his town hall counter-programming on Fox News last night, then spouting off at his New York trial today. Something about Exxon leaving New York?

Crute risked life and limb to get to Des Moines to make it in the room where CNN's GOP presidential primary debate is taking place tonight, and what does he get? He get's told to shut his trap! That's not the first time Crute's been told to quiet down. Speaking of the debate, who even is watching the debate tonight? Who knows, but one things for sure, if DeSantis can't blow Haley out of the water, that might be the end of his campaign. Trump sure won't be watching, he's got his own

Crute braved the treacherous highways to get to Drake University in Iowa to make it into the spin room for tonight's GOP debate on CNN. There's just one problem. He doesn't really want to be there. Why would he want to be there! All there is is Meatball Ron and Birdbrain Nikki Haley! Still, he made it alive, so he may as well do some real work today... Before the debate even BEGINS, it's being upstaged. Trump is set to talk with Fox News tonight as counter-programming, and the GOP presidential
