Trump violated his sacred oath on day 1 (Hour 2)

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/01/23

Assistant Adjunct Professor Pat Sobkowski explains birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment and it's origins and import. When Maggie inquires whether a president has the authority to issue an executive order abolishing birthright citizenship, Professor Sobkowski firmly responds in the negative. We break news that a federal judge in Oregon just ruled that the president's Executive Order trying to do away with birthright citizenship is "blatantly unconstitutional." Maggie then dissects

Everybody Hates Robin Vos (Hour 1)

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/01/23

Maggie drills down on Donald Trump's anemic first week's "executive Memorandum" on the housing crisis, spurred by a text from a listener yesterday. Turns out it is nothing more than generic garbage that will absolutely NOT help bring housing costs down or increase housing supply. Rather, DJT's promise to "deregulate" the housing market [what or how exactly, no one knows] will actually make this MUCH MUCH worse. Not to mention the stupid tariffs. Then Maggie introduces Lieutenant Governor

Sara Spain, Director of Strategic Communications at EMILY's list joins Maggie to discuss how to push back against trump's misogyny agenda. Stay engaged, keep the faith, and resist! Pro-choice women candidates, especially Susan Crawford for WI Supreme Court, help keep the fire in our bellies alive, and the issues most important to the middle class front and center. Next, in Maggie's regular Wednesday 3:30 segment, "Over the Hump & Trump," she celebrates CC Sabathia's historic 2008 run with

The #1 Middle Class Issue Trump Ignores (Hour 1)

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/01/22

Maggie kicks off the show discussing the housing crisis in Wisconsin and across the country, which our new president has said can be solved by deregulation (NOT). Price gouging algorithms, private equity and hedge fund profiteering, consolidation, and the history of redlining and lending discrimination have combined in a perfect storm to make affordable housing a pipe dream for many and worse yet, an existential crisis for families struggling the most. Toss in race-bating rhetoric, NIMBY, and all

J6 Pardons = Stain on U.S. History (Hour 2)

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/01/21

Maggie continues to discuss the J6 pardons with callers. What a disgrace! Again, what's the message - mob justice is fine as long as it helps Trump? Would you feel safe if your skin was brown and your speech accented? And there is no valid, good faith comparison to actions by criminals that cloaked themselves in the mantle of BLM. But Maggie gives us hope, rooted in our history. We close out the hour with some cold weather fun. The Maggie Daun Show is a part of the Civic Media radio

Maggie then turns her attention to the "Alien Enemies Act of 1798," which empowers the president to detain or deport individuals who are natives or citizens of enemy countries, effectively permitting the indefinite

Inauguration Day (Hour 1)

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/01/20

Donald Trump was flanked by his family and the world's most morbidly richest of the rich - the combined net worth of those seated behind the 47th President (~10 people) have a combined net worth of somewhere approaching $12 trillion. The bottom 95% of Americans (318,000,000 people) TOGETHER have a TOTAL net worth of around $3.8 trillion. The corruption is real. Trump ran on lifting up the middle class but his opening salvo to America reveals his actual priorities: growing the wealth of the

Maggie and Tom Palzewicz, Maggie's regular Thursday co-host, dive into the billionaire class -- with Trump's leadership -- gutting the regulations that ensure fair competition, safe water, and our children's future. We next move onto the nincompoop "confirmation" hearings, if they can be called that. Can we trust what the nominees are saying? We think not.

The Highest Principles of Prosecution (Hour 1)

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/01/15

Maggie dives deep into Jack Smith's January 6 Report, exploring what we should demand and what we deserve from every person who works in law enforcement: nonpartisan and objective pursuit of the facts and application of law to the facts, without fear or favor, completely independent of and free from all political influence or partisan purposes. Maggie takes two conservative callers and tries to get to the root of these issues. She drops two of her ten major takeaways from the Smith J6 Report,

Pete Hegseth Isn’t It! (Hour 2)

2025/01/14

Maggie debunks two frequent-flier big lies from the MAGA right: that the House Special Committee on January 6th destroyed evidence (lie) and that Nancy Pelosi turned down 10,000 National Guardsmen (lie). In fact, in the days leading up to January 6, President Trump was urged to ensure the security of the joint session and to deploy the National Guard to aid in managing security, but refused to do so. Then Maggie discusses the debacle that was Pete Hegseth's Senate confirmation hearing this morning,

The Lawless Loose Cannon (Hour1)

2025/01/14

Judge Aileen Cannon, who presided over Donald Trump's case involving his stealing super secret spy documents after he left the Presidency, no longer has jurisdiction and yet she keeps meddling and keeping information from the public. Maggie explains why Cannon is a lawless loose cannon and why the Jack Smith report on the super secret spy documents will never see the light of day!

2024 in the Law (Hour 1)

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/01/10

Maggie explains the biggest moments in the law from 2024 (aside from all the Donald Trump cases). Never heard of the Chevron doctrine? Well, the Supreme Court this past year just told big corporations that all it takes to defeat a regulation to keep the air clean, the water safe to drink, consumers protected, educational funding fair, etc. etc. etc., is a huge litigation war chest. Never mind that those pesky experts in the government might actually know something. Add to the mix the likely
