Very Big Very Powerful Points

Civic Media ·

2024/01/10

It's a snowy Tuesday, which is the perfect weather for listening to legal arguments as to why Trump can be prosecuted, and why presidential immunity is bogus in the face of overturning the election. Can Trump actually shoot someone on fifth avenue? A panel of DC judges sure don't seem to think so. Trump is trying to claim that he won some very big and very powerful points today. Except we listened to the arguments, and can't seem to find those points. In fact, it seems like their arguments just

It's snowmageddon! Okay, not really, at least not in Madison, and definitely not in Milwaukee. But still, it's a snowy Tuesday, which means it's the perfect day to sit down and read through some legal documents! Trump's lawyers were in court today, arguing for his presidential immunity while trying to overthrow the election. Live mics were allowed this time around, which means that we get to hear every little stupid detail Trump's lawyers lay out. Crute is preparing to make the trek to Iowa

Alex Jones may actually be at least partly right for once, as new details about Jeff Epstein come out. Is Bill Clinton's name on there? Yes, but what the right seem to look past is that Trump is also on that list! Plus, Crute is trying to get into the spin room for Wednesday's GOP debate, and he thinks that, if he were to go one-on-one with him, he could probably make Ron DeSantis cry. Meanwhile, Trump is turning his focus onto Nikki Haley. Rick Smith, Teamster and host of the Rick Smith show,

Republicans in Wisconsin has finally decided that it's time to bring medical marijuana in Wisconsin. Is the bill good? Not really! Can you smoke it? Of course not! And the real kicker? The state of Wisconsin itself would be in charge of sell you your weed through state-run dispensaries! And, this Wednesday marks the beginning of the 2024 Fall in Love with Democracy Tour, as Crute heads to Iowa for the final "alternative to Trump" CNN debate ahead of next week's caucuses.

Jim Santelle with the Morning Canollis joins the Devil's to break down a plethora of January 6th related news. Has Trump faced any accountability yet for inciting the riot in DC three years ago? No, says Santelle, and neither has any of the others who help orchestrate the insurrection. Not even Chesebro is facing charges here in Wisconsin! What are we doing!?! Then, Santelle explains why Trump's presidential immunity argument is bogus. With the courts set to begin hearing arguments over

Tomorrow is the three-year anniversary of the insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6th, and Joe Biden is talking at Valley Forge today with some very sharp language about the state of Democracy with the last anniversary of the insurrection before this fall's presidential election. Then, Alan Robinson, co-founder of Herbal Aspects, joins the show to talk about the recent rumblings about medical marijuana legislation coming down the pipeline. While he doesn't want to harsh anyone's buzz, he

Dems in the House put out a report saying that Trump businesses made millions of dollars from foreign governments while he was President. I thought Biden was supposed to be the one to do that! While Republicans have found no evidence of Biden profiting while President, they say that the new Trump details aren't even relevant. Plus a January 6 insurrectionist is asking to take a break and head to Cancun. It won't even be his first overseas trip since being charged, so I hope he got flight

Crute takes a field trip to the state Capitol building, where Congressman Mark Pocan holds a press conference to talk about a variety of topics. First, Pocan gives his thoughts on yesterday's US-Mexico border photo op by Republicans. Of course his colleague Van Orden was there! As Ron Johnson works to block funding to Ukraine and Israel over border funding, Pocan says that he thinks RoJo just doesn't want to work... Then, Pocan gives his on-the-ground report of what he saw on January 6, 2021

Trump has filed an appeal against the ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court, and Crute has some questions about the 14th amendment specifically. Will the SCOTUS agree with the Colorado Supreme Court? And while Trump is invited to the presidential debate later this month, he won't be there. He'll have his own counterprogramming instead! He'll even be in Iowa on January 6th, and so will Crute!

The Wisconsin State Capitol building got a phony bomb threat today, alongside state capitol's across the entire country. Crute says it's MAGA, even if MAGA is going to blame ANTIFA. Either way, the Wisconsin capitol wasn't even evacuated, leaving Dom concerned for Crute's safety as he sits just two blocks from the building. And speaking of dropping bombs, Trump's team is dropping their own bomb as he tries to appeal for presidential immunity. Will a social media post from an anonymous poster

We're coming up on the three-year anniversary of the January 6th Insurrection. Does Trump's actions that day still have influence over voters today? Recent polling says no, as GOP voters increasingly downplay the events of that day, and more and more say that the insurrectionists were mostly peaceful, and any violence was brought on by law enforcement. So how do Democrats move forward? While a third of voters across the country still don't think Biden won in 2020, can Biden get by without their

With the last live show of 2023, it's time to look at the greatest winter of 2023! There was some amazing news both in Wisconsin and across the country this year, and it's time to look at just a few of the winners. Is the winner the Wisconsin Supreme Court, with it's newest justice Janet Protasiewicz? Or is it democracy itself? Or are they hand in hand? Maybe it was Civic Media itself for bringing non-right wing talk radio to Wisconsin? Or was it Joe Gow for getting FIRED as chancellor of

Crute and Producer Nate were ready to have a nice, light show before the New Year, but this is Wisconsin! We aren't allowed slow news days! Exclusive audio obtained by CNN shows Kenneth Chesebro continuing to talk to prosecutors about his role in trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election in favor of Donald Trump. The new audio is a real doozy, showing that not only did Ron Johnson help fly the fake elector documents saying that Wisconsin was Trump country, but that he may be talking with

Crute continues his search for the biggest loser of 2023, with a whole slew of real losers this year! Was it the Red Wave that was projected during this year's spring election that never happened? Or was it the reincarnation of Wanker, Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis? It could be, though a host of conservative callers have their own point of view. Don't worry, Crute argues with all of them. Then, breaking while the show is on the air, former US Senator and Milwaukee Bucks owner

Oh yeah, there were a lot of them! Dom isn't in the running, even though he isn't in again today, but Crute and Producer Nate want to find out who was the biggest loser of them all. Was it the Republican's pro-life policies that cost them election after election across the country? Or maybe the pundits who thought that the Dobbs

Merry Christmas you rotten animal! Plus: the most important political news of the year, or at least the week. Does Trump smell? Does he need better Depends?

Crute and Producer Nate are live in-studio breaking down some potential new news in the Supreme Court ruling to redraw the state's legislative maps. Robin Vos says that he wants to take the case to the US Supreme Court. Do they have any reason to take up the case? Probably not, Crute says, but that won't stop Vos from taking a chance to attack Protasiewicz. He'll never pass up
