Catch up on the best segments from this week of the Dom Salvia Show! First, from Monday’s second hour, The Enablers Bear Responsibility : Mary Trump, niece of Donald, compiled a list of 13 reasons that disqualify the 45th POTUS from office ever again.  The list, we should note, spans only the past 2 weeks. We dig into some of the lowlights. Plus- don’t call it weaving! Then, a segment from Thursda...

Harvey J. Kaye , Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, joins Dom at the top of the hour. Harvey knows history. And he knows Common Sense . As in, the pamphlet written by Thomas Paine . Not as in whatever the hell Trump was citing as Common Sense in his platform.. . Please compare that platform with Harris’ , for a bit more of what we all thou...

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are the two main party candidates for President of the United States in this election. They’ve assembled their platforms and laid out the plans they’ll enact if elected. The issues you care about matter. And it matters that you can vote based on your beliefs and values. So find out which candidate shares them. Read Harris’ platform and compare it to Trump’s . Take an...

Earl Ingram co-hosts with Dom. Bill Press , podcaster, pundit, and political prognosticator, joins Dom and Earl to check in on the presidential race. He sees Harris’ building of a broad coalition of political allies as an extremely powerful path forward. Harris united Bernie Sanders and Liz Cheney, hopefully bringing their respective supporters under the same tent. Some to the far left dislike thi...

Earl Ingram co-hosts with Dom. Dom and Earl discuss some of the expectations for Election Day, November 5th. This election will likely have record high voter turnout. And with it, both major parties brace for shenanigans. With under a dozen days left until the election, both major parties are organizing teams of poll watchers. Poll watchers present a bit of a tricky situation. They may increase tr...

Matt Rothschild co-hosts with Dom today. In this hour, Dom and Matt turn to why Kamala Harris should (and will!) win this presidential election. As should be abundantly, grotesquely obvious, Donald Trump is not fit for office. The people who know Trump best and the people who know this country’s democracy best share this view. That alone does not qualify his opponent for the presidency. Kamala Har...

Matt Rothschild co-hosts with Dom. Today, we’re digging deep into the ever-increasing calls that Trump is a fascist, supports fascism, and would be a fascistic autocrat if re-elected. Mind, these calls do not come from far left liberals alone. It is the people who know Trump best, the people who worked the closest with him, and t he people who know the most about fascism making these assertions. Y...

Russian disinformation again seeks to disrupt our elections. Last week, a video emerged appearing to feature a former student of Tim Walz accusing the vice presidential candidate of inappropriate behavior towards him. The real man named in the video was shocked to see someone posing as him and making outrageous allegations. US intelligence tracked the origin of the hoax to Russia . Again . They se...

First, it’s Overtime with Maggie Daun! Maggie sticks around for an extra half hour of air time to chop up the latest legal news with Dom. They dig into Trump’s demonstrated use of the legal system to persecute his enemies, with Michael Cohen as star example . Plus, some steps toward justice with another of Trump’s former attorneys. Rudy Giuliani must surrender his assets in order to pay restitutio...

Kamala Harris proves her capacity and qualifications to serve this country as it’s President with every day. Her opponent shows us each day his staggering unfitness for office. Mary Trump, his niece, compiled a list of 13 reasons that disqualify the 45th POTUS from office ever again. The list, we should note, spans only the past 2 weeks. We dig into some of the lowlights. From Mary’s uncle ramblin...

On Friday, the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association hosted the first and only Wisconsin Senate debate . Will the debate move the needle on the election? Dom and Jess aren’t so sure. They break down the merits and demerits of the debate with listeners. One certainty did emerge from the debate- who deserves our vote. Hovde cannot and will not serve Wisconsin residents best interests. He lacks policy t...

Matt Rothschild and Angela Lang, Executive Director of BLOC- Black Leaders Organizing for Communities – guest cohost for the day. What does it mean for a candidate to be professional? What about presidential? How can we quantify the qualities that give someone the credibility and right to merit the highest office in this land.

Joe shares his analysis of the Harris campaign as a communications expert. Particularly, the interview Harris completed with Fox Dont’ca...

Matt Rothschild guest co-hosting with Dom. Yesterday, Trump bubbled his way through an interview with Bloomberg Editor-In-Chief. We covered this a bit, but this source really nails how incredibly bad Trump mucked this one up . For all his lavishing praise on his own grasp of economics, he failed completely to demonstrate it. What Trump showed was what we all saw as he ended his “town hall” meeting...

Matt Rothschild guest co-hosting with Dom. We begin with a reminder of Trump’s comments on weaponizing the military against US citizens. This leads us to the staggering endorsement for Harris from former Trump administration officials. Yesterday, Mike Esper, former Secretary of Defense for Trump called on voters to believe Trump when he says he would use the military against the people. Because Es...

Last night, the 45th POTUS hosted an event billed as a Town Hall. Now, Dom and Jess thought they understood the format of a Town Hall. A candidate or multiple candidates take questions from a crowd and deliver answers as a way for voters to compare platforms and proposed policies. What we saw was… not that. Instead, we saw Trump take a few pre-ordained questions. And then hard-pivot away from ques...

Maggie Daun joins Dom for a bit of overtime to address Trump’s proposed economic plan. You know, the one that most economists agree would weaken our economy by raising inflation and deficits . The one that Trump wants to fund through tariffs- the most beautiful word according to him. THAT economic plan. Now, both Maggie and Dom have formal training in economists. So they do know a thing or two whe...

Trump’s embrace of fascism grows seemingly with every passing day. He lays out plans to use military force against US citizens. He STILL will not concede that he lost the 2020 Presidential election. Don’t trust us on this? Listen to the man who served as Chairman of the Join Chiefs of Staff in his administration, Mark Milley. Milley titles Trump, “fascist to the core” and “the most dangerous perso...

Republican endorsements for Kamala Harris for President continue to roll in. Why? Well, because they recognize that this election is not between a Democrat and a Republican. This election is about what kind of country we want this to be. Do we want a nation where we support one another? Do we want a country that values truth, integrity, and decency? Or do we want a nation divided and weakened by l...

Jim shares his priorities like Cost o...

Catch up on the best segments from this week of The Dom Salvia Show! First, an animated exchange from Tuesday with Maggie Daun on the continued lies spewing forth from senate candidate Eric Hovde. He chose to propagate a dangerous lie about FEMA being out of money, due to aid going to undocumented migrants. These lies harm real people and we absolutely cannot accept them. Next, from Thursday, how...
