After sharing our daily Wisconsin Fun Fact, Todd asks us What’s Worse: scrambled eggs or over-easy eggs? People have strong opinions about how their eggs are cooked, and we take your calls and texts to hear a few of them.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd pivots to national news and the consequences of the current government shutdown. He updates us on the status of SNAP food assistance payments and flight cancellations. If you or anybody you know are planning to fly for the holidays, double check that your flights are still on track.

The Todd Allbaugh Show turns three next week, and since the very beginning, we have pursued the truth about UW System two-year campus closures. While every governmental organization has opportunities to “trim the fat,” these closures have taken place under an incredibly suspicious veil of secrecy. The scant information we do get from the Board of Regents leads Todd to an uncomfortable conclusion: both Republicans and Democrats are probably in on it. If you don’t like it, call your representatives and the Board of Regents or UW System and demand that they make their meeting notes public.

At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Political Editor and Founder of The Recombobulation Area Dan Shafer joins us once again to help us put the pieces together.

This morning on CBS Mornings, Gayle King interviewed Telisha “Nikki” Jones, creator of the AI artist Xania Monet. Jones writes lyrics and uses AI tools to generate the music from nothing. Is this ethical? AI isn’t going away, and we need to find its place in society. We take a lot of calls and texts with your thoughts.

We begin today’s show with a quick public service announcement: according to WKBT in La Crosse, there is an Instagram account impersonating the WIAA and asking for personal information. We urge all listeners to use caution and only share your information via official channels.

After that, we welcome Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to weigh in on the news of the day.

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator and gubernatorial candidate Kelda Roys stops by to share her analysis of yesterday’s election results. We may not have had an election here in Wisconsin, but Sen. Roys says she believes there are lessons to be applied in our state.

The current lack of food assistance is affecting more than just human food. Families who are strapped for cash may also be struggling to feed their pets. Dane County Humane Society is holding a drive to help people keep their pets happy and healthy. You can get involved at giveshelter.org if you’re in the Madison area, but check your local humane society to see what you can do elsewhere around the state.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: turkey bacon or turkey sausage? We take some calls and texts before getting distracted by Aaron’s new chicken velveting technique.

Earlier today, former Vice President Dick Cheney passed away at the age of 84. He has a complicated history, to say the least. Todd gives us a quick recount of Cheney’s role in America, for better and for worse.

Earlier this morning, President Trump announced that he is refusing to fund SNAP (AKA food stamps) after being ordered to by a federal court. To break down this possible impending constitutional crisis is our friend and legal expert Matt Flynn. He and Todd consider the legal ramifications and likelihood that Trump will back down from this statement.

Next year, Wisconsin will have some very important elections. At the bottom of the hour, Wisconsin Watch State Government and Politics Reporter Brittany Carloni joins us in-studio to cover the most important things to keep tabs on in the coming months.

Over the weekend, Giannis Antetokounmpo says he fought off a would-be purse snatcher in a Pick ‘n Save. Wisconsin really does seem to have some of the nicest pro athletes.

Using the Badgers football team and the Packers as examples respectively, Todd asks us What’s Worse: disappointment or frustration? We take some texts and calls on whether it stings worse to be sad or angry when things go awry.

After What’s Worse, Todd returns to national politics that affect us in Wisconsin. SNAP food benefits are in an incredibly precarious position under the federal government shutdown. A few federal courts have ordered the Trump administration to at least partially fund the program, but it remains to be seen how this will shake out. A lot of public figures who typically stay out of politics have come out of the woodwork to share their disappointment. Doc Rivers of the Milwaukee Bucks shares his belief that feeding kids shouldn’t be political, and for what it’s worth, we agree. Anna Kleiber at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel shares real ways we can help in one of her latest articles.

This last weekend, we celebrated Halloween and watched a lot of sports. Todd recaps the World Series results and Sunday’s NFL games before turning to a brief bite of political news. Last week, we talked about President Trump’s plan to flood the American market with Argentinian beef to lower prices. Former Badger and NFL player Joe Thomas is now a Wisconsin beef farmer, and we visited his farm earlier this year. All politics aside, he believes that this is a shortsighted move from our government. He walks us through the reasons why.

At the bottom of the hour, we have another edition of Mondays with Matenaer. This morning, Jane Matenaer announced that after 44 years in radio, she will be retiring this December. We take some time to share our gratitude with her before covering the latest news.

This afternoon, our What’s Worse is timely– timely, indeed. Todd asks us What’s Worse: Snickers or Kit Kat? We take some calls and texts on your favorite and least favorite Halloween candy.

At the bottom of the hour, our friend Peter Rapine returns. As the Managing Editor of eBaum’s World, he has his finger on the pulse of the craziest stuff that real people are doing.

Here are the stories Peter shares with us this week:

There’s a Monkey With Hepatitis C and Herpes Loose in Mississippi

Trump Put Candy On a Kid’s Head Again
The Internet Is Divided About How You’re Supposed to Pee at a Urinal

Happy Halloween! If you’re going to be driving around tonight, be on alert for children running into the street.

In national news, a Rhode Island federal judge has ruled that it is unlawful for the Trump administration to cease paying SNAP benefits this weekend with the government shut down. Whether or not this action returns funding to the program, there are things we can do in our communities. If we are able, we should donate time, money, and/or food to local food pantries to help out our neighbors.

Halloween isn’t the only holiday this time of year. The day after Halloween is the Latino holiday Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead in English.

The Trump administration is raising the difficulty on our citizenship test, requiring twice as many questions to be naturalized. We look through the questions to see if Todd would pass.

Tattoos and piercings are great ways to express yourself, but we all know somebody who has some questionable ink. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: bad tattoos or bad piercings? We take calls and texts with some of your favorite horror stories.

Recently in California, the Marines fired live rounds over an interstate that detonated prematurely. Earlier this month, the Navy fired live 2,000 pound bombs during their 250th anniversary celebration. New reporting from AP claims that President Trump’s personal requests to “see explosions” are behind these ill-advised uses of weaponry.

We’re one day closer to the end of the month, and the federal government still hasn’t reopened. If this continues through tomorrow, SNAP (AKA food stamps) will run out for the first time in 60 years, leaving many Americans without food. After sharing his personal story, Todd walks through some ways we can help our neighbors at food pantries.

Chuck Collins is the grandson of Oscar Meyer- and yes, we mean that Oscar Meyer. At a young age, he decided to give most of his inherited fortune away, and he has now joined the Patriotic Millionaires. At the bottom of the hour, he joins us to discuss his new book. BURNED BY BILLIONAIRES: How Concentrated Wealth and Power Are Ruining Our Lives and Planet details what he has seen from the inside. The richest people in the world are actively dedicating their lives to draining wealth from the rest of us, and it touches us in unexpected ways. We delve into an excerpt from the book that explains how billionaires are exploiting our relationships with our pets.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: paper cuts or slivers? We take your calls and texts on which minor finger injury hurts more.

After checking in on the downtown Madison trick-or-treat event, Todd turns to the results of a few current political polls. The results show that Americans believe that President Trump should follow the rule of law.

This Wednesday, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project hop on the show for their weekly recap of the latest political news. Between new gubernatorial candidates and unexpected congressional endorsements, there’s a lot to break down. Pat and Todd also strongly disagree on the current Department of Public Instruction conundrum.

If the federal government is still shut down at the end of this week, SNAP benefits will pause, leaving many Americans unable to afford food. On top of this, if congress doesn’t continue the Affordable Care Act subsidies, insurance premiums will vastly increase for Wisconsinites. Todd runs through some shocking numbers from Governor Evers that paint a dire picture of our state’s financial future. Many families will be paying double or even above triple their current premiums.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: raking leaves or cleaning gutters? We take your calls and texts on which Autumn chore is more of a bore.

Todd also follows up on yesterday’s story about big changes at CBS and other media outlets. The integrity of major news outlets has been in question for some time now, but it looks like we’re headed for another cliff.

Beginning today’s show, Todd touches briefly on the biggest international news today. As many anticipated, the latest Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement is breaking down.

Back here at home in Wisconsin, yet another data center is being proposed in the village of DeForest. While these centers create a lot of temporary jobs and a few long-term ones, they are likely to significantly raise energy costs for all of us. Data centers can also negatively impact our natural resources. Todd takes your calls and dives deep into why this matters to every Wisconsinite. If your community has town halls on proposed data centers, do your best to attend and ask questions. We have to hold these companies accountable.

To wrap up the hour, Todd talks about some of the skills we can develop to keep our careers AI-proof.

In our second hour, Todd brings us some major media news: CBS Evening News co-anchor John Dickerson will be leaving at the end of this year. This departure follows a series of acquisitions and mergers that appear to leave CBS and other media outlets under more politically conservative control. Todd walks us through what may be happening behind the scenes.

The typical grilling season may be coming to a close, but tailgating season is still going strong. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: Johnsonville brats or Klement’s brats? We take your calls and texts on the subtleties of brat flavor and texture and we listen to a few classic brat advertisements.

Since the very beginning of The Todd Allbaugh Show, we have followed the string of two-year UW campus closures. Last week, Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman made an appearance to address the end of instruction at the Baraboo campus. However, he gave more of the same non-answers we’ve been getting for the last few years. Aside from about four current and former state-level Democrats, no elected officials on either side of the aisle will address this continual problem.

Todd wraps up the show with a look at how much the average American spends on celebrating Halloween, and it’s probably a lot more than you’re guessing.

Happy Monday! Todd kicks off today’s show by recounting the weekend’s football games. The Badgers suffered an unsurprising loss, while the Packers brought home a win against former quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

It’s been another week, and the federal government is still shut down. If they can’t figure out a deal by Friday, SNAP benefits (AKA food stamps) will run out and many Americans will be unable to afford food.

At the bottom of the hour, Jane hops in for another edition of Mondays with Matenaer! Today, we tackle tribalism in American politics. Both Republicans and Democrats are too hasty in circling the wagons rather than calling out problems on their own sides. Naturally, Todd and Jane poke at the sore spots. The Republicans don’t want us to talk about how they caused the government shutdown, and Wisconsin Democrats won’t acknowledge Dr. Jill Underly’s apparent dereliction of duty in the Department of Public Instruction.

In our second hour, Todd brings us an update on the UW-Platteville Baraboo campus closure. Two days ago, the Cap Times shared remarks from State Sen. Sarah Keyeski, State Rep. Karen DeSanto, and State Sen. Kelda Roys, who all expressed disappointment at this abrupt closure. To our knowledge, along with Katrina Shankland, these three Democrats are the only elected officials to speak out against the dismantling of our two-year campuses. No Republicans, and not even our education Governor Tony Evers.

At the beginning of today’s show, Todd expressed some of his frustration with the deluge of depressing news. We give a rapid-fire look at some of the crazy stuff happening at the national level.

At the bottom of the hour, our favorite two-time B1G champion and former NFL fullback Bradie Ewing returns to the program! Bradie has been a part of some hugely successful teams, so Todd asks for his insights on why the Badgers football team is struggling so hard.

Over the last week or so, we’ve been following the Cap Times’ reporting on the Wisconsin DPI’s lack of transparency. Well, State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly continues to compound the issue with her relentless silence. She did not attend yesterday’s hearing on the matter, sending her staff so she could attend an awards ceremony in Indiana. At the very least, Dr. Underly owes the taxpayers of Wisconsin an explanation, but Todd says he thinks it’s time for her to take a step further and resign.

In other Wisconsin news, President Trump today declined to provide disaster relief to the Milwaukee area for its extreme flood damage. If our state’s Republicans can’t even get their own side to help Wisconsin when we clearly need it, they don’t deserve to have their offices.

At the bottom of the hour, Richland County beef producer David Unbehaun calls in from his combine. He shares his perspective on our president’s tariffs and other policies, as well as Trump’s recent comments on Argentinian beef. Ultimately, between nonsensical trade deals, defunding healthcare, and more delays on the farm bill, the federal government is leaving Wisconsin farmers behind.

Todd Allbaugh explores the beauty of fall in Wisconsin, sharing tales of visits to local orchards like Oakwood Fruit Farm, indulging in cider donuts, caramel apples, and other autumn delights. Amidst the joy of Wisconsin's seasonal offerings, a poignant story emerges of a U.S. Postal Service worker almost detained by ICE while on duty, highlighting issues of racial profiling and identity verification. The episode balances light-hearted discussions on favorite fall treats with a serious look at societal challenges, underscoring the importance of community, awareness, and the simple pleasures of life in Wisconsin.

Todd Allbaugh delves into Wisconsin's educational controversy as Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly faces scrutiny for avoiding a legislative committee hearing about allegations involving schools. Meanwhile, beef farmers are beefing with Trump over plans to import cheaper Argentinian beef, potentially undercutting local markets. Todd dons his Joe Thomas Hall of Fame beef hat, takes a nostalgic trip to Richland County, and shares local delicacies. In between, listeners weigh in, providing lively debate on both topics. It's a mix of local charm, political drama, and a hearty dose of Wisconsin pride.

This afternoon, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project make their typical Wednesday appearance to break down the news of the day. Firstly, Todd asks them their thoughts on the Department of Public Instruction’s lack of transparency in reporting teacher license investigations.

Our trio also touches on the state of news itself around our state and the country. Local newspapers have been dying out for years, and Indiana University’s student paper is now being shut down under questionable circumstances. Meanwhile, a student newspaper is still holding down the fort in Pulaski.

At the bottom of the hour, we welcome Cap Times Enterprise and Investigative Reporter Danielle DuClos. Danielle is the author of last week’s article calling out Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction on some questionable practices surrounding alleged sexual misconduct cases. She has been following this trail of records for a few years now and is ready to bring us the facts.

Last week, the Cap Times published an article alleging that over 200 teacher sexual misconduct investigations were hidden from public view. Between this and other stories reported by Wisconsin Public Radio, a shadow of doubt is being cast upon the Department of Public Instruction. State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly has been oddly silent for the past couple of years, declining interviews with Civic Media and other outlets. This topic has been no different. Todd gives us the details before we speak to the article’s author in hour two.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd returns to a story from this weekend. Rather than backing down from his disastrous tariff plan, President Trump says he wants to make agriculture deals with Argentina to effectively undercut Wisconsin farmers.

This past weekend, seven million citizens peacefully took to the streets to participate in another No Kings protest. The event went off so smoothly that even MAGA House Speaker Mike Johnson had to remark that it was impressively nonviolent.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: bad dancing or bad singing? We take your calls and texts on whether an affront to the eyes or ears bothers you more.

BREAKING NEWS: following claims that Trump’s new ballroom wouldn’t interfere with the existing White House buildings, demolition has begun on its East facade. Yet another promise has been broken by our President.

It turns out that President Trump was right about the danger of the weekend’s No Kings protests. However, he was incorrect about where the danger came from. The Marines fired live ammunition across a California interstate, and it exploded prematurely over the highway. Had Governor Gavin Newsom not closed the highway against military advice, people could have been severely injured.

As we begin a new week, Todd brings us some breaking news: Republican Party of Wisconsin Treasurer Kelly Ruh has resigned, penning a scathing letter to RPW that has been made public.

In other Wisconsin news, Congressman Derrick Van Orden is joining with the American Dairy Coalition to advocate for immigration reform to support agricultural labor. However, his efforts are too little too late. He demonstrates a lack of understanding of our immigration system or how this affects industries outside of agriculture. Additionally, this stance directly opposes Van Orden’s voting record on the Trump administration’s budget reconciliation from earlier this year. Speaking of President Trump, his plan to lower food prices in the US is to undercut Wisconsin farmers by importing Argentinian beef.

At the bottom of the hour, Wisconsin Watch State Government and Politics Reporter Brittany Carloni joins us to share her latest work. As somebody who only recently moved back to Wisconsin herself, she is acutely aware that our state is experiencing a housing crisis. Her article begins with a startling figure: while WI housing costs have risen 120% over the last decade, wages have only risen 50%. However, it’s not all doom and gloom. There are a few bills making their way through the state legislature that may help ease the pain. Brittany also spoke with gubernatorial candidates about their approaches to this core issue.

BREAKING NEWS: This afternoon, staff at UW-Platteville’s Baraboo Sauk County campus received an email informing them that the campus will “cease operations” this coming May. Todd has been following these two-year campus closures for nearly three years now, and precious few UW-System staff or elected officials will even acknowledge that it is happening. The typical partisan blame game has been replaced with bipartisan silence when it comes to this issue. We speak with former Republican State Senate Majority Leader Dale Schultz, who has always been a big advocate for government transparency. He is equally appalled by this slow and silent culling of schools. The Board of Regents, the Governor, and the Joint Finance Committee owe it to the people of Wisconsin to explain what’s going on.

In other disturbing Wisconsin education news, Cap Times reported a few days ago that over 200 teacher sexual misconduct investigations have been hidden from the public. Allegedly, many accused individuals abused a loophole in our state’s rules that allows them to surrender their teaching license in exchange for keeping the incident confidential. While the alleged offenders may not be teachers anymore, they can still work with children in other capacities. State Superintendent Jill Underly has declined to comment on the matter. This is a serious situation that demands attention.

Yesterday, Todd broadcast live from the Marcus Majestic Cinema in Waukesha for the world premiere of No Packers, No Life, a film about the Japanese Packers Cheering Team finding their way to Lambeau. Today, director Craig Benzine joins us again to talk about his experience sharing this story with everybody. Todd and Aaron had the opportunity to see it Wednesday night, and it’s a fantastic celebration of Wisconsin culture and how it unexpectedly caught hold on the other side of the world. Head over to marcustheatres.com to see where you can watch it near you!

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: having the sun in your eyes while driving or driving in the fog? We take some calls and texts on which is more inconvenient or dangerous.

Today is a big day for Packers fans! Last year, we were excited to share Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers with the world, and now producers Sean Hanish and Paul Jaconi-Biery are back with another fantastic Wisconsin sports film. This afternoon, Todd joins us live from the Marcus Majestic Cinema for the VIP world premiere of No Packers, No Life. Directed by Craig Benzine and produced by Ty Morse, this movie shows us how the love of the game can bring people together from all around the world. It highlights the Japanese Packers cheering team, an avid group of Packers fans that meet up– even in the off-season– to watch Packers games in a Tokyo karaoke bar. After Ty Morse stumbled upon this group, he and his friends worked to get the team to the US to see a Packers game, and he couldn’t be more excited to share the story.

First off, we talk about Wisconsin sports love with Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project, our usual Wednesday guests. Also joining us are producers Sean Hanish and Paul Jaconi-Biery

At the bottom of the hour, we welcome Craig Benzine, the director of No Packers, No Life. He’s an established YouTuber who worked with Ty to piece together the film. He walks us through the journey from idea to completion and how he met Sean and Paul to get the movie into theatres.

Head to nopackersnolife.com to learn more.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: a dinner roll or no dinner roll? We take some calls and texts on how many carbs you can handle.

We wrap up today’s show with a review of last night’s Brewers game and some excitement for tonight. They may have lost, but they’re looking great against the Dodgers, so they stand a real chance.

After a preview of today’s show, Todd dives back into a story we touched on yesterday: the latest Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release. While the Trump administration is using this event to gloat, former President Biden responded on his Twitter/X account with the grace and respect traditionally associated with the office.

In yet another underreported major national news story, news outlets across the political spectrum are declining to sign the Trump administration’s newest press agreement. The document essentially forbids journalists from asking questions or reporting on anything not explicitly permitted by the Pentagon. We’re not lawyers, but this seems like a pretty clear violation of the first amendment. Even conservative pro-Trump outlets like Fox News and Newsmax are opting out.

As we hit prime cold and flu season, Todd asks us What’s Worse: in-person doctor visits or telemedicine? We take your texts and calls on which one is more difficult to deal with.

Towards the end of the show, Todd catches us up on some of the consequences of the current federal government shutdown. In many parts of the country, active duty military servicepeople are lining up in droves outside of food pantries.

The Brewers triumphed over the Cubs this weekend, and now they move on to face the Dodgers. Being a large market team, the Dodgers budget dwarfs that of the Brewers, leaving us with a battle that our own Dan Shafer has coined “Glitz vs. Schlitz.”

Todd also touches on the international news of the day as Hamas releases the last hostages they held in their war with Israel. Regardless of how this agreement was reached, we are happy that families have been reunited.

At the bottom of the hour, our colleague and friend Jane Matenaer joins us for another Monday with Matenaer! She and Todd talk Brewers before taking on a much weightier topic: the ways the MAGA movement are trying to rewrite American history. From Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples’ Day to shifting education standards, there is a concerted effort to erase all negativity from our past and prevent citizens from questioning the government.

Today, our show is jam-packed with sports news, so Todd takes some time at the top to address politics. As we’ve covered in recent weeks, ICE and the National Guard are being deployed in Democratic cities across the nation. On Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker brought some levity to a dangerous situation.

In yet another underreported national news story, Sec. Hegseth announced in a press conference that Qatar will have a military base on US soil in the near future. Todd expresses bewilderment at this potential breach of security.

At the bottom of the hour, we’re honored to welcome the PA voice of the Badgers: Mike Mahnke! Between military service, broadcasting, and even comedy, he has a wealth of stories to share. He talks about how he found his unique personality behind the microphone as a fan of Badgers sports.

BREAKING NEWS: According to WISN and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a Milwaukee man is dead after exchanging gunfire with an off-duty police officer following a minor car collision. Details are still emerging about exactly what happened, and Civic Media News will stay on top of the situation.

After we return to the normal show, Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us for a surprise in-studio appearance as his oldest daughter tours UW-Madison! He and Todd reflect on Wisconsin sports before addressing one of many elephants in the room: Marjorie Taylor-Greene has been saying things that make sense.

Does your computer run Windows 10? If so, you might soon find yourself in hot water. At the bottom of the hour, Julius Shieh of the Right To Repair Campaign at Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group (WISPIRG) joins us to explain why this is far bigger than most software discontinuations. Approximately 440 million computers will either face security issues or become e-waste when Microsoft’s support ends in less than a week. The worst part? The company plans to continue creating these safety updates, but will only release them as part of a paid subscription. WISPIRG is petitioning this decision.

Saturday, October 18th is International Repair Day, so WISPIRG is hosting a Fix-a-thon at the Madison Central Library. Bring your old laptops to fix or recycle.

With a 2-0 lead, the Brewers have an opportunity tonight to defeat the Cubs in the NLDS. We kick off our second hour with our own Brewers pregame show.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: burial or cremation? It may be macabre, but we are approaching Halloween, after all. We take a few calls and texts with lighthearted takes.

At the bottom of the hour, we’re excited to welcome Lar Kong Xiong, Board President of the Eau Claire Area Hmong Mutual Assistance Association. He walks us through his family background and how the Wisconsin Hmong community has grown since they were displaced here 49 years ago.

This weekend, the association is hosting their Eau Claire Hmong New Year celebration at the Sonnentag event center. This is a huge event that drew approximately 4,000 attendees last year. Lar tells us all about the fantastic food, music, art, and more that will take place on both Saturday and Sunday. Head over to eauclairehmongnewyear.com to learn more about the event!

It’s Wednesday, so we meet up once again with Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project. Here in Wisconsin, AI data centers have been a controversial topic. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Microsoft is electing not to build a new AI data center in Caledonia after civilian protests. Our trio walk through the pros and cons of building these centers.

Zooming out to the rest of the Midwest, President Trump is calling for prominent Illinois Democrats to be jailed for expressing opposing views. As frequent listeners know, Trygve has a lot of experience fighting authoritarianism in Eastern Europe. He shares his unique perspective on this administration’s dangerous actions.

Today is National Taco Day, so Todd asks us What’s Worse: hard shell tacos or soft shell tacos? We take your calls and texts on which version of the messy hand food bothers you more.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd takes a moment to recognize that today marks two years since the deadly Hamas attack in Israel. While the Netanyahu administration’s actions since the attack have been unconscionable, the initial attack was still also a tragedy.

After that conversation, we return back to Wisconsin with some of Dan Bice’s latest work at the Journal Sentinel. As Tom Tiffany’s gubernatorial campaign picks up, his stances on controversial issues have vanished from his website. While archives of his website still exist on the internet addressing his platform on immigration, guns, and other touchy issues, Tiffany’s public persona is shifting towards the center. Todd walks through why this may be dangerous to Democrats.

Last night, the Milwaukee Brewers took game two of the NLDS by storm, pulling ahead in a commanding 2-0 lead against the Chicago Cubs. Todd takes us through the story of the game and sets us up for tomorrow’s rematch in Chicago.

At the bottom of the hour, we’re excited to introduce Brittany Carloni, the new State Government and Politics Reporter over at Wisconsin Watch. A Milwaukee native, Brittany spent some time reporting in other areas of the country before returning home. Today, she’s here to talk about her latest article detailing our state’s struggles to fund housing for homeless veterans. The latest bill to fund this initiative passed out of committee today, but will it make it all the way into law?

This past weekend, Todd returned to his hometown of Richland Center, where he was honored as an Outstanding Alum from UW-Richland Center. Today, he brings it up only to remind us of all of the people who provided him opportunities to grow. In our own lives, we must remember the people who help us along the way and do our best to open those same doors to others.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: high school reunions or no high school reunions?

To wrap up today’s show, Todd updates us on the latest doings of Rep. Glenn Grothman and Speaker Robin Vos.

Saturday’s Brewers game was an absolute blowout, putting Milwaukee up 1-0 in this series against the Cubs. We take a listen to comments from Cubs manager Craig Counsell and Brewers manager Pat Murphy on how they and their teams are approaching this series. Pat Murphy in particular has some hilarious comments about why he skips pregame formalities with his players.

At the bottom of the hour, our friend and colleague Jane joins us for another edition of Mondays with Matenaer! She and Todd talk about what it was like when the Brewers made their World Series run in ‘82. They also weigh in on last week’s Chicago ICE raid that still remains largely unreported in mainstream media.

Todd kicks off our second hour with some quick news stories that we should all be aware of. After yesterday’s discussion on Chicago ICE raids, Madison police have confirmed that ICE also visited our state’s capital, allegedly detaining seven people. In other Wisconsin news, Kwik Trip has responded to the discontinuation of pennies by rounding down to the nearest nickel on cash purchases.

At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Sports Reporter Mike Clemens calls in to give us the scoop as we head into what will surely be a historic weekend in baseball. Mike was producing coverage of the Brewers’ World Series run in ‘82, and he couldn’t be more excited to cover their postseason clash with the Cubs beginning this weekend.

Before last year’s presidential election, we talked a lot about Project 2025, a dastardly plan by The Heritage Foundation to reshape America and destroy much of what our nation has built. Many MAGA conservatives tried to claim that it wasn’t real or that Donald Trump had nothing to do with it. However, as we can see in real time, the agenda is well underway. According to AP News, President Trump is now openly embracing the initiative.

At the bottom of the hour, we shift away from politics to welcome the Fabulous Farm Babe and Director of the Midwest Farm Report, Pam Jahnke! Today, the World Dairy Expo in Madison is wrapping up, and there’s nobody better to tell us about it than Pam. It’s a much larger affair than you might think.

Todd opens up our second hour with some news we can use! The federal government has shut down, but WISN has some information on which services are still available. You can still get a passport or send mail, for example.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: rare beef or sashimi? Well, actually, he has another question first: what is sashimi? Zommers bestows some knowledge on Todd regarding raw fish consumption before we take your calls and texts on which raw food turns your stomach.

At the bottom of the hour, we cover a surprising proposal from a few Wisconsin GOP legislators to legalize medicinal marijuana.

Once again, Todd broadcasts live from beautiful Shawano, Wisconsin! There’s a lot of news to cover today, but first of all, former Republican Governor Tommy Thompson is “seriously looking at” another run. If elected, he would be 85 years old when taking office in 2027. Todd says that while this may not be the smartest political move, you can never count Tommy out of the race.

After the gubernatorial discussion, Todd moves to a huge story that is severely underreported in national news. According to a local Chicago ABC affiliate, ICE conducted a horrific raid last night on South Shore apartment buildings. After arriving via helicopter and vans, ICE agents allegedly detained everybody in the apartment– including children– before releasing many of them early in the morning. Todd takes your calls with thoughts on this event and its concerning absence from the news.

At the bottom of the hour, Representative Amaad Rivera-Wagner returns to tell us about his latest proposal to alleviate Wisconsin’s housing crisis. As someone who experienced homelessness in his youth, Rep. Rivera-Wagner is very aware of the struggles that many in our state face. His bill to help lower-income families and individuals secure housing has true bipartisan support, reminding us that our political divides are not insurmountable.

It’s Hump Day, and we all know what that means: a visit from Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project. After some brief monkey business, our crew talks about the latest GOP-caused federal government shutdown. The situation is rife with lies and misdirections, so Pat and Trygve help us cut through the crap.

In Wisconsin political news, Pat and Trygve weigh in on the premature finish of Bill Berrien’s gubernatorial campaign. They also overview the ever-expanding Democratic primary field.

Yesterday, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth brought all military flag officers to a huge meeting. We share some audio from both of them, and it’s just as bizarre as we expected. Trygve compares it to his lived experiences in authoritarian countries around the world.

Todd kicks off today’s second hour with another Wisconsin sports update, focusing this time on Badger football and basketball. As we all know, the introduction of the transfer portal and lucrative name, image, and likeness deals have fundamentally altered college sports. UW Madison is doing its best to adapt, but it has its share of struggles. Todd breaks down the messy situation.

After finishing the sports update, Todd welcomes Alex Madorsky back to the show! As Associate Director of Government Relations for the Nature Conservancy, Alex is on top of conservation efforts in our state. As we’ve covered on this program previously, the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund is in jeopardy following its excision from the state budget. This is an issue that affects every Wisconsinite with an appreciation for nature. Both Republicans and Democrats have proposals on how best to continue the Stewardship Fund. Alex walks us through some of the key differences and what we as constituents can do to ensure our natural resources are well taken care of.

Todd is out on family business today, so he and Zommers are using the magic of recorded audio to keep it rolling. The show must go on!

With several days off for Wisconsin baseball and football teams, Todd recaps the record-breaking Milwaukee Brewers season. With some help from analysts at The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, he offers some predictions on the post-season lineup and shares his hopes for the Brew Crew.

At the bottom of the hour, National Campaigns Director for Main Street Action Shawn Phetteplace returns for an update on how our state’s small businesses are faring. Right now, many of their biggest struggles come from bad federal policies from the Trump administration. Wisconsin’s own Derrick Van Orden voted for these dangerous laws, and Main Street Action is working to hold him accountable. On top of that, at the time of recording, the government is approaching yet another shutdown amidst budget disagreements. Shawn lays out how this will further impact our state before giving some tips on how to support our main streets in the coming months.

This Monday, Todd catches us up on a very eventful weekend for Wisconsin sports. The Green Bay Packers unexpectedly tied the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. While this doesn’t make the team look good, we all need to remember that it’s early in the season and anything can happen. On the other hand, the Milwaukee Brewers made franchise history with a total of 97 wins, clinching home-field advantage as we head into the playoffs.

At the bottom of the hour, we are excited to kick off Mondays with Matenaer, featuring Wisconsin broadcasting legend Jane Matenaer! She so diligently promotes other Civic Media programs, and we thought it was high time we did the same for her. Additionally, time talking with Jane is time well spent. Todd and Jane chat about golf, Jane’s European travels, and how they deal with the non-stop deluge of nonsense in the news.

After a week of controversy, Wisconsin businessman Bill Berrien announced that he is no longer running for governor. It turns out that Wisconsinites have had enough of his hypocrisy. Bill, it’s okay to enjoy adult content as long as everything is consensual. What’s not okay is backing legislation to ban other people from doing it.

In other news that broke right before the show, broadcast company Sinclair has decided to do the right thing and bring Jimmy Kimmel back to their stations. Clearly, their decisions all come down to self-preservation.

To kick off today’s show, we are joined by our friend Matt Flynn, a lawyer, author, and two-time state Democratic party chair. Importantly, Matt is also a Navy veteran, and we ask for his perspective on a highly unusual move by the Trump administration. According to The Washington Post, Sec. Pete Hegseth has invited approximately 800 military officials– including those stationed overseas– to an urgent meeting with no stated purpose. Pulling decision makers out of dangerous situations around the world could have disastrous consequences.

Coming up in a few weeks, Matt will be promoting his latest book at Boswell Books in Milwaukee. Check it out at boswellbooks.com!

At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Political Editor and Founder of The Recombobulation Area Dan Shafer returns for another round of recombobulation. His latest piece details his thoughts on Tom Tiffany’s newly-announced run for governor. Dan says that he thinks Rep. Tiffany is the clear leader in the GOP primary, but has some major roadblocks in the general election.

As we talked about yesterday, Jimmy Kimmel returned to the airwaves on most TV stations last night. We take a moment to review some of his comments on his suspension, the death of Charlie Kirk, and the government’s role in free speech.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: big cars or little cars? We take your calls and texts on how you prefer to travel.

We wrap up today’s show by sharing part of a discussion between legendary broadcaster Bob Costas and Brewers Manager Pat Murphy remembering Bob Uecker.

As always on Wednesdays, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project join us to catch up on the latest political news. Firstly, we look at the latest candidate to join our state’s gubernatorial race. Pat and Trygve both believe Rep. Tom Tiffany has an incredibly long road ahead of him if he wants to convince the average Wisconsinite that he’s “normal.”

This month’s most underreported story is the approaching federal budget deadline. In less than a week, the government will shut down yet again if our legislators can’t get their act together. Todd, Pat, and Trygve walk through what they think may happen.

We also take some time to cover more of President Trump’s unhinged remarks at yesterday’s United Nations summit. Our president is incapable of acting in a civilized manner, and other world leaders no longer look to America as the leader of the free world.

Between What’s Worse and the latest craziness from President Trump’s rambling UN speeches today, we have a hectic hour.

As Wisconsin sports fans are all too aware of, the Badgers have been having a rough few seasons of football under coach Luke Fickell. In their last game, the student section began booing and chanting “fire Fickell” when it became clear they were losing against an unranked team. Former coach Barry Alvarez went on ESPN Madison, making his distaste for this behavior clear. While we agree that it’s good to support your favorite teams even when they struggle, there’s more nuance to this. Todd walks us through the surprisingly far-reaching consequences of a struggling college sports program and asks Badger fans whether or not these chants cross a line.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd turns back to a topic that has been escalating since the assassination of Charlie Kirk: free speech. In yesterday’s show, we broke the news that Jimmy Kimmel will return to the airwaves tonight after being “indefinitely suspended” under what appears to be government coercion. Some TV networks have chosen to stick by that original decision and will not carry his show. Even though Kimmel is back on air, this attack on free speech is not over. Todd shares his thoughts, as well as those of other late night hosts.

As we kick off our second hour, we bring you some breaking news: Jimmy Kimmel’s “indefinite” suspension has ended and his show will return tomorrow evening.

After an awful performance by the Wisconsin Badgers this weekend, Todd asks us What’s Worse: the 2025 Badgers football team or the 1989 Badgers football team?

The people who brought us Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers are back with another Wisconsin sports film! At the bottom of the hour, we’re thrilled to welcome filmmakers Sean Hanish and Paul Jaconi-Biery back to the program to announce their latest project: No Packers No Life. This film details the story of a group of diehard Packers fans in Tokyo, and how they ended up coming to Green Bay.

Over the weekend, the Milwaukee Brewers clinched the NL Central for the third year in a row. Todd walks us through what Pat Murphy and the Brew Crew are saying as they head into the postseason.

In political news, Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Bill Berrien has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar– or perhaps a few jars. Despite publicly echoing the Trump administration’s puritan sexual philosophy and anti-trans rhetoric, Berrien’s social media accounts tell another story.

At the bottom of the hour, Wisconsin Watch Reporter Natalie Yahr joins us to share her latest article. In this story, Natalie looks at new difficulties faced by minority students. Several universities around the state currently rely on federal grants to support Hispanic students, providing a route to higher education for those who have historically had less access. President Trump’s Department of Education is now ending those programs. Despite this roadblock, several of our state’s schools have pledged to maintain their support of the growing number of Hispanic students.

In some less-than-pleasant news, prolific songwriter Brett James passed away when his private jet crashed. Songwriters do not often get the credit they deserve when other artists perform them. Todd walks us through some of his favorites from Brett James.

Taking the time to understand people we disagree with helps us remember that great things happen in our communities every day. We’ve had political strategist Bill McCoshen on our show to talk politics before, but today, he’s here to talk about his other role: Founder and President of the Janesville Jets hockey team! The Jets are playing tomorrow in the brand-new Woodman’s Sports and Convention Center.

Last night, it was announced that late night host Jimmy Kimmel’s show has been “indefinitely suspended” following a brief comment on the assassination of Charlie Kirk. You can listen for yourself, but Kimmel does not in any way lie or condone last week’s horrific act of violence. Here to break it all down is Cracked.com Writer/Editor Keegan Kelly, who previously joined us to discuss the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s program. Deciding not to renew a show is one thing, but pulling the plug in an afternoon marks a new era of government censorship. Media corporations like Skydance, Nexstar, and Disney appear to have no issue kneeling to President Trump’s wishes to make as much money as possible at any moral cost.

On that note, we are proud to work for Civic Media, who continue to reaffirm their commitment to honesty and transparency every day. This morning, our COO Kory Hartman sent the following to our talk show hosts and producers:

“We believe in freedom of speech and freedom of the press and we stand behind our hosts.

As always, double-check facts, be transparent with our listeners, and invite them to join the conversation.”

Yet another candidate for Wisconsin Governor has emerged in Representative Francesca Hong. We are happy to welcome her to share why she is running for Governor. Learn more about her campaign at francescahong.com.

At the end of this month, Congress faces yet another shutdown if they can’t get their act together and pass a budget. Believe it or not, no federal government has successfully passed a budget by the deadline since 1996.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: a bad smell or a bad taste? We take your calls and texts over which one is easier to get rid of.

At the bottom of the hour, we take a quick look into what’s going on at eBaum’s World. In the last few months, they’ve started a “spicy” side of the site, which contains NSFW content that is generally not suitable for broadcast. However, their recent interview with an adult performer regarding ethical nonmonogamy has piqued Todd’s interest. Keep your eyes and ears peeled, as we may welcome an adult performer to the show in the near future. We might even have to reach out to Joe Gow!

After our brief escapade into acceptable adultery, Todd returns to sports. According to Lori Nickel at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a Wisconsin-based Olympic speed skater has recovered from a potentially career-ending injury.

This afternoon, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project make their typical Wednesday visit to our program. This morning, Rep. Francesca Hong announced her candidacy for Governor of Wisconsin on Mornings with Pat Kreitlow. As more candidates come out of the woodwork, the Democratic primary is becoming very crowded. A successful campaign will have to travel beyond the big Democratic bases of Madison and Milwaukee.

Pat and Trygve also weigh in on the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. People in a variety of industries both public and private are being fired for quoting Kirk on social media, and often without any commentary included. Congressman Derrick Van Orden is introducing legislation to claw back federal funding from the entire community of Eau Claire because of a handful of social media posts containing only quotes.

In today’s second hour, Todd plays a clip from legendary sports broadcaster Jim Nantz on a generational shift in which media careers people aspire to. With the rise of social media and podcasts, young people seem to be drawn to being famous rather than being a good storyteller.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: subscriptions or purchases? We take your calls and texts on whether you’d rather pay as you go or all at once.

Last week, we covered the assassination of Conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Over the weekend, the online vitriol and disinformation continued to escalate. To make matters worse, it’s very difficult to verify facts when we can’t rely on governmental agencies for truthful reporting. We begin today’s show with some transparency about how we approach the constant flood of negative news.

At the bottom of the hour, former State Senate Majority Leader (and Todd’s old boss) Dale Schultz returns to share some of his unfortunate political experiences. While in office, he received death threats. We walk through how he dealt with it and what we can do to reconnect with our neighbors.

This Friday, Civic Media Political Editor and Founder of The Recombobulation Area Dan Shafer joins us live in-studio for the first hour! Firstly, he and Todd recap the latest information on the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The alleged shooter, a 22-year-old white male from a Mormon family, has been identified and captured. Reactions online and on the news have been varied, to say the least. Todd and Dan choose to lower the temperature, decrying senseless gun violence regardless of who perpetrates it. We must wait until the facts are out before jumping to conclusions. Over at www.therecombobulationarea.news, guest writer Emily Tseffos shares her thoughts on what our nation’s response should be to continued violence.

Today is a very trying day for many of us. Yesterday, conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Not 30 minutes later, a school shooting occurred at a Colorado high school. In the midst of all of this chaos, we cannot forget that today is the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

None of us are built to be in crisis mode all of the time. Todd takes your calls as we sort through the emotions of the day and look for ways to turn down the temperature.

Todd begins today’s show with some breaking news: Conservative activist Charlie Kirk has been shot while speaking at a Utah university. As we begin the show, his condition is unknown. As we have said many times before, there is no place for violence in our political system.

As always on Wednesdays, we are joined by Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project, who first share their thoughts on this tragedy and the immediate media response. As Trygve says, political violence is antithetical to the mission of the founding fathers. The ballot box exists to resolve conflict peacefully. Pat reminds us that while Charlie Kirk is known for spreading violent rhetoric, bullets are not going to change his mind or anybody else’s.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd and Trygve turn to violence occurring elsewhere in the world. Last night, a number of Russian drones made their way through Polish airspace before being shot down. This marks the first time a member of NATO has fired a weapon in the Russian-Ukrainian war.

While on air, a second shooting occurred at a Colorado high school, resulting in at least two student injuries.

Todd begins today’s second hour with a tribute to his friend Linda Gentes, who passed away this weekend at the age of 76. Linda was a member of the Richland County Board and an integral part of UW-Richland Center’s international student program. She was a great mentor to those students and to Todd personally and will be remembered for her incredible positive impact on the community.

Todd also updates us on a tragic drunk driving accident that killed two Marquette University students. Please drink responsibly. Take a moment to think before getting behind the wheel, and you will save lives.

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined once again by Kelly Kahl and Sean Hanish, Producer and Producer/Director respectively of Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers!

This morning, another Democrat announced a gubernatorial campaign: Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. Much like LG Sara Rodriguez, he posted an initial campaign video, which you can find on his Twitter/X @DavidCCrowley. Todd provides some background on Crowley’s political experience. Our friend and colleague Pat Kreitlow will be interviewing Executive Crowley tomorrow morning on Mornings with Pat Kreitlow at 8:50. We will also be interviewing him tomorrow afternoon.

After touching on Executive Crowley’s campaign announcement, we catch up with some national politics. Sec. Robert F Kennedy Jr.’s latest medical debacle involves a claim that taking Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism, which is not substantiated in any way. Our very own Dr. Kristin Lyerly posted on Instagram to share the opinion of real doctors on this subject.

With fall sports now in full swing, so is sports betting. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: the lottery or sports betting?

At the bottom of the hour, our friend Matt Flynn joins us once again. Matt is a lawyer and two-time Chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, but he’s also a hell of an author. He is here to share his latest novel, American Dawn, now available on Amazon. NOTE: this book contains adult content and is not suitable for children.

Todd begins today’s show with a recap of an incredibly successful weekend in Wisconsin sports. The Badgers, Brewers, and Packers all brought home wins. We share some reactions from Micah Parsons, Jordan Love, and Matt LeFleur from the Packers before moving on to Pat Murphy from the Brewers.

In a similar vein, our friends Kelly Kahl and Sean Hanish have some exciting news about their movie, Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers. Over the next few days, their movie will be playing on over-the-air TV in Madison and Milwaukee, with a radio adaptation coming soon!

At the bottom of the hour, Wisconsin Watch Reporter Tom Kertscher returns to share some of his current projects. Here in Wisconsin, workers who sustained severe injuries on the job haven’t had their salaries increased in nine years, and Tom’s latest article dives into how and why.

In a bit of a schedule shakeup, eBaum’s World Managing Editor Peter Rapine joins us at the top of hour two. He shepherds us into the weekend with the weirdest and wackiest of humanity over the last few weeks.

Here are the crazy stories that Peter shares with us today:

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: regular gas or premium gas? We take some surprising calls and texts on when each should be used.

After catching up on NFL updates before the season opens tonight, Todd turns back to politics. Jessie Opoien’s latest article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel details a hairy situation in the capitol. Milwaukee Rep. Ortiz-Velez has been barred from accessing the building in Madison after alleged threats of gun violence. She claims that she’s being targeted for being a Democratic gun owner. We’ll have to stay tuned to discover the truth.

We’ve long known that HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. has little to no medical knowledge. This morning, Republican Senator Bill Cassidy– who is a medical doctor– put the Secretary in a box. Sen. Cassidy pointed out RFK Jr.’s hypocrisy in supporting President Trump’s impact on the COVID-19 vaccine while simultaneously claiming that the vaccine killed more people than the virus. Todd breaks down the conversation.

As AI continues to rise in popularity, data centers are being built all over our state. This may sound like a positive addition to the job market, but as Charlie Berens recently highlighted, there’s a lot more to the story. Amy Barrilleaux of Clean Wisconsin returns to the show to share her environmental expertise on how these data centers may impact our lives.

As we herald in the autumn season, Todd asks us What’s Worse: an early winter or an early fall? We take your calls and texts with strong cases for both sides.

In Wisconsin political news, Lawrence Andrea of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that both GOP Wisconsin gubernatorial candidates have voiced support for the Trump administration's plans to mobilize the military in Milwaukee.

At the bottom of the hour, we are thrilled to welcome the amazing Skip Jones! He is a Wisconsin-based folk singer, storyteller, and educator that Todd ran into a while back in Shawano. Learn more of his story at skipjones.net.

Today, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project begin their usual Wednesday appearance by reminiscing about Saturday morning cartoons. They then return to the present century with a discussion about the latest rhetoric from the right and the left. David Hogg is still threatening to primary other Democrats, and the Trump administration continues to talk about sending the National Guard and/or ICE to cities they don’t like.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd and Trygve check in on how the Packers are looking as the NFL season kicks off. Did Green Bay fleece Jerry Jones, or were they knowingly left holding the bag with an injured player?

In our second hour, our own Luke Mathers makes a surprise visit to the show to share some behind-the-scenes Packers news! Luke spent a portion of his Labor Day weekend golfing with friends and family, where he happened to run into former Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy. He shared some of his thoughts on the latest moves by the team. You never know who you’ll see around our state.

*Luke wants us to clarify that he did not actually golf with Mark Murphy, but just ran into him.

Here in the dairy state, we love our milk, but everybody has their favorite type. Today, Todd asks us What’s Worse: skim milk or 2% milk? We take your calls and texts.

At the bottom of the hour, we return to a very interesting character we haven’t heard from in a while: former UW-La Crosse Chancellor Joe Gow! According to the La Crosse Tribune, he and his wife were interviewed about their OnlyFans career for a TMZ documentary on the online porn industry that airs tonight on the Fox network. It is unknown whether they will be clothed, so watch at your own risk.

In other Wisconsin news, Dan Bice of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Liberal State Supreme Court candidate Chris Taylor seems to be abandoning some of her previous ethical stances on recusal. Listen to Todd’s take, and read Dan Bice’s article for more information.

Shortly before our show began, President Donald Trump announced that the Space Force headquarters will be relocated from Colorado back to Alabama. He used this platform to denounce mail-in voting yet again. He and other speakers also claimed that this move is best for national security. As we fact check, it is true that the Air Force leadership preferred Alabama. What Trump neglected to mention is that Space Force leadership were concerned about the estimated three to four year lead time to construct new facilities instead of using the existing Colorado infrastructure. All in all, today’s announcement followed a classic MAGA strategy, building a false narrative based on a twisted nugget of truth.

To wrap up our first hour, Todd recaps the latest public health news. Surprising nobody, several top CDC officials have been fired or resigned and are publicly speaking out against the ineptitude of Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. His policies are likely to cause disastrous outcomes for the health of Americans.

In today’s second hour, we’re delighted to have Todd’s former broadcasting partner Kevin O’Connor back on the show! His knowledge of sports is quite deep, so he has a lot to say about the Micah Parsons trade.

Kevin is a lifelong Bears fan, so Todd asks us What’s Worse: being a Cowboys fan or being a Bears fan? We take calls and texts on whether it hurts more to be arrogant or dejected.

Aaron’s board game of the week is this year’s Spiel des Jahres, or German game of the year: Bomb Busters! Each of 2-5 players gets a secret row of numbered wires, and they have to work together to cut all of the blue wires without accidentally cutting a red one and detonating the bomb. It’s a very simple premise, but it comes with 66 “mission” cards to shake things up. This game is great for the whole family. Give it a try and discover why it won such a prestigious award!

Yesterday was an absolutely tremendous day in football. Between exciting Packers news and a shutout kickoff game from the Badgers, Wisconsin fans have a lot to be happy about. Civic Media Sports Reporter Mike Clemens joins us between press conferences to share his insights on the newest Green Bay Packer: Micah Parsons.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd talks about a different kind of game: politics. Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley has announced that she will not run for a second term. Similarly, Iowa GOP Senator Joni Ernst announced that she will not be running for reelection. It turns out that her constituents did not enjoy being belittled for sharing their concerns about Medicaid cuts.

Today, we begin with an update on yesterday’s shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Social media is overflowing with speculation on the shooter’s motives, but we must remember that it is too soon for conclusive evidence. What we do know for certain is that a lot of people bravely showed up to help. As Mr. Rogers said, focus on the helpers.

At the bottom of the hour, we shift to a far cheerier topic: the beginning of the high school sports season. Phil Nee of WRCO/WRCE and Chad Holmes of WXCO are two of the hardest working people at Civic Media, and they join us to talk about their high school sports coverage.

We begin our show today with a tragic special report. As of this broadcast, a shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school has killed two children and injured 17 others, some of whom are in critical condition. As always on Wednesdays, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project join us to discuss the news of the day. Robert Pilot of Native Roots Radio joins us from his studio in the Twin Cities. Unfortunately, he has experience dealing with the aftermath of mass shootings. Todd, Robert, Pat, and Trygve have an honest conversation about where we are as a nation and what we can realistically expect to happen in response to this horrific event.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd moves back to the news. President Trump is attempting to make it illegal to burn the US flag despite a long-standing precedent set by the Supreme Court.

Yesterday, Todd touched on President Trump’s military mobilization in Washington D.C. and what it means for us in Wisconsin. Today, we cover what elected officials across the midwest are saying about the possibility of a Chicago or Milwaukee occupation. Would you feel safer

Conservation of Wisconsin’s natural resources is always front of mind for Todd. This year’s state budget failed to continue funding for the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, which is one of our state’s most impactful conservation programs. At the bottom of the hour, we welcome two elected officials who are trying to fix this situation. State Sen. Jodi Habush Sinykin and Rep. Tip McGuire are joining other Democrats to propose a solution, but the Republicans have their own ideas. Will this issue bring bipartisan cooperation back to Wisconsin’s legislature?

At the bottom of the hour, Todd shifts back to politics to discuss President Trump’s military occupation of Washington D.C. and the precedent it sets for the rest of our nation. Even here in Wisconsin, Milwaukee is likely to be one of the next cities Trump may deploy troops to.

Yesterday afternoon, the Brewers held a celebration of life for Mr. Baseball himself, Bob Uecker. Featuring remembrances from friends and colleagues including Bob Costas, Bud Selig, Christian Yelich, and Robin Yount, it was a tremendous ceremony, and it is available in its entirety on YouTube. The ceremony also contains some video tributes put together by Kelly Kahl and Sean Hanish, Producer and Director/Producer of the great film Just A Bit Outside, respectively. We take some calls and texts with your favorite memories of Ueck.

At the bottom of the hour, Wisconsin Watch Reporter Tom Kertscher returns to recap some of his recent articles and fact briefs. In Outagamie County, Judge Mark McGinnis is on track to be prosecuted for actions that he took while on the bench. This is a very rare occurrence. Judge McGinnis allegedly jailed a contractor for an unrelated private dispute during other court proceedings.

Here in Madison, students are moving into their dorms. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: changing jobs or moving? We take your texts on which is more difficult.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd turns back to the Friday news dump. Ghislaine Maxwell has been moved to a far more comfortable prison with the possibility of work release. It appears that she is receiving special treatment in return for never revealing Donald Trump’s alleged involvement with Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking. In other words, exactly what we anticipated is playing out.

As this week comes to an end, Todd takes a moment to celebrate some of the great things in our state. From the success of the Brewers to products from local businesses, there’s a lot to appreciate about where we live.

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski. A rising star in Wisconsin politics, Sec. Godlewski is the first person to throw her hat in the ring for the 2026 lieutenant governor’s race. Listen in to hear about why she got into politics and what she hopes to accomplish as LG.

When it comes to airplane seating, many people have strong preferences. Delta and United are both facing lawsuits for allegedly selling tickets for windowless window seats. Todd breaks it down for us.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: thirst or hunger? We take your calls and texts on which is more uncomfortable or dangerous.

Tonight, Donald Trump is “going out” with the military over in Washington D.C. to “help” them sort out the city’s made-up crime situation.

To kick off today’s show, Todd shares some breaking news: one of the most vile MAGA Christian Nationalists has died. James Dobson, known for demonizing LGBT people, promoting corporal punishment for children, and spreading antisemitic rumors about political opponents, has died at 89.

Back here in Wisconsin, AP reports that one of our court commissioners has resigned. In July, Peter Navis denied ICE agents access to his courtroom without presenting an appropriate warrant.

At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Political Editor and Founder of The Recombobulation Area Dan Shafer returns for some recombobulation. After catching up on the incredible Milwaukee Brewers and the taste of victory at George Webb, Dan and Todd walk through our state’s political news. Unfortunately, “political news” also encompasses efforts to address the extreme flood damage in Southeastern Wisconsin, as FEMA has been politicized by President Trump.

Over at The Recombobulation Area, readers have been asking Dan what he thinks about our state’s gubernatorial race. While it’s quite early, he has a new article detailing his initial assessment of the candidates.

At the top of our second hour, Civic Media producer Laura Bergh joins us to share her journey into the world of local radio.

It is well known that in Wisconsin, we have only two seasons: Winter and road construction. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: road construction or potholes? Both can keep you from getting where you’re going in a timely manner.

At the bottom of the hour, Writer/Editor Keegan Kelly of Cracked.com returns to dive into the increasingly unstable world of comedy television. As we have talked about, The Late Show with Steven Colbert is being canceled as part of a series of deals likely made to appease President Trump and allow a merger between media giants Paramount and Skydance.

Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project are here for their normal Wednesday appearance, but we are also joined by WFHR News Director Melissa Kaye to talk about some of the great opportunities available in Wisconsin Rapids. James Malouf also hops on to share how he ended up in community radio.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd, Trygve, and Pat turn to politics. For several years now, leadership of Wisconsin’s 3rd congressional district has been hotly contested. Republican Incumbent Derrick Van Orden will very likely be the nomination of his party next year, but Democrats will have a much harder time uniting on a candidate. Our panel walks through the current Democratic candidates and what their strategies are.

As we touched on yesterday, President Trump is moving to end all mail-in voting. Since our show, the bipartisan Democracy Defense Project-Wisconsin spoke out against this announcement. An executive order to end mail-in voting would violate the constitution, as it requires that states administer elections rather than the federal government.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: sauerkraut or cilantro? We take your texts on which of these polarizing foods rubs you the wrong way.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd updates us on the gerrymandering situation in Texas and California.

In these troubling times, Wisconsin’s sports teams are a powerful force for unity in our state. The Brewers in particular are on a hot streak as they continue their series against the Cubs. However, not everything is hunky-dory when it comes to Wisconsin sports. While many UW schools have successful teams, the mental health of student athletes– particularly women– is in dire need of attention.

Back in February, Kelly Meyerhofer of Milwaukee Journal Sentinel joined us to share her reporting on how UW System is working to address the mental health of student athletes after one of them tragically died by suicide. Now, the Journal Sentinel’s Mark Stewart reports that five former female student athletes are suing their coach for alleged emotionally abusive conduct. Athletes were allegedly punished for seeking mental health care, and other coaching staff was aware of the situation and allowed it to continue. Rather than facing termination, former coach Marisa Mosely was allowed to resign earlier this year.

When it comes down to it, we as supporters of these teams must remember that student athletes are people, too. With that in mind, please don’t harass athletes in person or online.

Crude oil pipelines have long been a point of contention in our state and the nation. At the bottom of the hour, we welcome Evan Feinauer, the Staff Attorney of Clean Wisconsin, to explain the ongoing conflict surrounding Enbridge’s Line 5 Pipeline in Northern Wisconsin. The pipeline’s proposed rerouting project endangers both our environment and clean water access for tribal communities.

This morning, President Donald Trump held a press conference in which he made some very concerning comments about voting in our nation. Under the guise of a joke about wartime election delays in Ukraine, Trump insinuated that it would be “good” if America is at war in 2028 and a Presidential election cannot be held. The President also announced that he plans to end mail-in ballots in our country, making several falsified claims about the security and accuracy of current voting practices. Trump has used this playbook in the past, where he pretends that his latest policy idea is a joke before eventually implementing it. We take some of your calls on this dangerous canary in the coal mine.

The Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund has been a bastion of environmental conservation in Wisconsin, but it has gotten the short end of the stick in this year’s state budget. At the bottom of the hour, Noe Goldhaber of Wisconsin Watch returns to share her latest reporting on the subject. While this statewide funding has been cut, $15 million of conservation funding for Speaker Robin Vos’s district was approved.

At the bottom of the hour, we ask an actual football player what he thinks about our question! Three-time B1G champion and former NFL player Bradie Ewing is back again to talk about the state of Wisconsin sports.

Keep an eye or ear tuned to your local weather service! More severe thunderstorms may be headed all around the state this weekend. The worst storms are expected on Saturday and Sunday night. Additionally, Madison in particular will have heavy traffic on the Isthmus this weekend due to the annual gap in student housing leases.

As the summer comes to a close, many of us are getting our final vacations in before Labor Day. The US Senate and Congress are also in recess, and Wisconsin’s representatives are using their free time in very different ways. While Representatives like Tony Wied are taking vacations to places like Israel, Senator Tammy Baldwin is touring Northern Wisconsin to listen to her constituents. It’s not just Republicans who are abandoning their posts at important times. While the Trump administration occupies Washington, D.C., the city’s mayor is heading over to Martha’s Vineyard for a family event.

On the other hand, we are seeing a refreshing moment of bipartisanship as Democrats Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Rep. Gween Moore team up with Republican Rep. Bryan Steil to fight for FEMA funds in Southeastern Wisconsin.

Last hour, one of our listeners asked why MAGA leadership is making cuts to public broadcasting. Civic Media News Director Chali Pittman has the answer. The infamous Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership contained the rationale for ending the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. As with many other horrific actions of the Trump administration, we were informed beforehand that this would happen.

In other federal policy news, the Trump administration is launching USAi, an initiative to incorporate AI into government work. How does your speech rate on The Dignity Index? As Todd hinted at yesterday, The Dignity Index is a tool to help us better connect with one another in conversation.

Right as we wrapped up yesterday’s show, the Milwaukee Brewers clinched their 12th victory in a row, securing free burgers at George Webb for their fans!

As we have talked about previously, the Trump administration is officially defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. At the bottom of the hour, we are honored to welcome Sarah Ashworth and Jon Miskowski, the Directors of Wisconsin Public Radio and PBS Wisconsin, respectively.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Berrien is on the record saying that he supports a “constitutional carry” law in Wisconsin, which would allow anybody and everybody to conceal firearms without training or a license. Todd and Trygve talk about the many reasons why this could spell disaster. As gun owners, they are both acutely aware of the incredible responsibility that falls upon anybody holding a gun.

French fries are a staple of American fast food, but all fries are not created equal. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: McDonald’s fries or Five Guys fries? Trygve Olson sticks around to give his opinion while we take your calls and texts.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd circles back to the incredibly successful year that the Milwaukee Brewers are having. We take a listen to Christian Yelich and Pat Murphy on how the team is pulling it off.

Now that Trygve is back in the country, we are joined by our typical Wednesday guests, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project. We kick things off with some baseball hype, as the Milwaukee Brewers are on another incredible 11-game winning streak. They are the first team to have multiple 11+ game win streaks since the Cubs in 1935. Our trio also touches on the flash flooding in the Milwaukee area and what these communities can expect from disaster aid.

Over the last several days, President Trump has mobilized the National Guard in what boils down to a takeover of Washington D.C. law enforcement. This is simultaneously a dangerous authoritarian move and a distraction from the Epstein files. Even Joe Rogan and other popular podcasters have turned their backs on Trump due to continued refusal to release the files.

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys joins us in-studio to share some excellent news. Senator Roys was the first Democrat to support a bill that opens up nurses to run their own medical practices in our state as Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, or APRNs. After a prolonged lobbying battle between various medical organizations, Governor Evers signed this bipartisan bill into law last Friday. This new law will help providers in Wisconsin respond effectively to healthcare shortages, particularly in rural areas.

As we wrap up the show, Sen. Roys breaks some exciting news: she is very likely to announce a run for Governor of Wisconsin after Labor Day. She shares some of her priorities for our state.

The Milwaukee Brewers are white-hot right now, but the Green Bay Packers are having a rough pre-season start. Civic Media Sports Reporter Mike Clemens calls in to share his observations on the ground at Lambeau Field. While many members of the team are on an upward trajectory, the team announced that quarterback Jordan Love injured his left hand. Yikes.

After the sports conversation, Todd updates us on the severe thunderstorms and historic flooding in the Milwaukee area. As of an hour before the show, tens of thousands of people are still without power. Governor Evers yesterday declared a state of emergency for Milwaukee residents, which is the first step in securing aid from FEMA to recover from this natural disaster.

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by EAA Museum Director Chris Henry to celebrate the life and accomplishments of Astronaut Jim Lovell, who passed away at the end of last week. While many of us are aware of Lovell’s role in the survival of those aboard the Apollo 13 mission, he also holds an important place in aviation history and has a strong Wisconsin connection.

Last night, Todd stopped for dinner at Culver’s and saw an unusual sight in the parking lot: a Chick-fil-A truck! This inspires today’s question. What’s Worse: Culver’s or Chick-fil-A? Apparently, Chick-fil-A employees have their own takes on this. We also take your calls and texts.

At the bottom of the hour, we’re happy to welcome Casey Hicks, the Federal Government Affairs Manager with the Wisconsin Conservation Voters. He’s here to raise awareness of the ways that the Trump administration is rolling back environmental protections in our state and what we can do about it.

Todd joins us today from La Crosse, where LeaderEthics and United Wisconsin held a talk on fusion voting. Our typical Wednesday guest, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow, joins in to chat with Lee Rasch of LeaderEthics and former State Senator Dale Schultz of United Wisconsin. These two organizations are dedicated to bringing common sense back into Wisconsin politics.

After a brief conversation about finding the perfect baseball cap, Todd shares the latest WI gubernatorial non-announcement. Former Governor Tommy Thompson hasn’t said he will run, but he hasn’t said he won’t. Todd believes that this is just an effort to remain relevant and that Tommy Thompson won’t run for a fifth term as governor.

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by Kyle LaFond. He is the Founder, President, and CEO of Natural Contract Manufacturing and American Provenance, as well as a member of Main Street Alliance. As a business owner in Wisconsin, he has been directly impacted by President Trump’s tariffs and has an acute understanding of how they hurt his customers.

As many of us know, the Trump administration is moving to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which would dramatically affect the way Americans get information. Kyle LaFond also serves as President of the Friends Board of PBS Wisconsin, so he also has some insights on what will happen in our state if this goes through.

Today, we are excited to welcome former WI Senate Majority Leader Bob Jauch (D - Poplar) back to the program! Last week, we talked about the brazen gerrymandering efforts being undertaken by Republicans in Texas. Democrats have responded by leaving the state to prevent the bill from having a vote. Senator Jauch once employed similar tactics here in Wisconsin during the Scott Walker years, so he has a unique insight on this situation.

Over the last several years, we have seen a rise in anti-vaccine sentiment largely due to prominent figures like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. spreading misinformation. The measles are making a comeback, and now, there are several confirmed cases here in Wisconsin. At the bottom of the hour, Janelle Mella of Wisconsin Watch joins us to update us on the situation and what it means for Wisconsinites.

Todd has returned safely to Madison after yesterday’s excellent show with Joe Thomas at Six Springs Farm. To bring us back into politics, we welcome one of our typical Wednesday guests, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow. Today, Pat is filing his property taxes, reminding us of the lack of transparency we often see on where this money goes. Todd and Pat talk about efforts to fix this in Green Bay and elsewhere before spending some time on gubernatorial races and gerrymandering around the nation. In Texas, the GOP is attempting to redraw the state’s maps to all but eliminate the possibility of any Democratic representatives. Californian Democrats are considering retaliation by doing the opposite in their state. Not enough news outlets are talking about how dangerous this is for democracy going forward.

Sreejita examines this trend and what we can do to get these people the help they need.

If you or somebody you know is struggling with a mental health crisis, don’t hesitate to call or text 988 for help. You are worth it.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: gossip or gaslighting? We all know gossiping is the act of talking behind people’s backs, but many people use the term “gaslighting” too broadly. It actually refers to a concentrated effort to degrade a person’s connection to reality, making them feel crazy and become dependent on the gaslighter. We take some calls and texts on the dangers of gossip and gaslighting alike.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd pivots to several other topics. The great journalist Anna Kleiber has a new article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel detailing $5 million in approved funding to restore and maintain Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous Taliesin house. Todd also covers some of last week’s news on late night TV shows. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will be coming to an end next year, adding another layer of complication to CBS’s settlement to appease President Trump.

At the end of our show, Civic Media’s amazing Sports Reporter Mike Clemens graciously gives us some time out of his busy day to weigh in on the Milwaukee Brewers’ hot streak.

Guest: Mike Clemens

Todd has returned to Madison after an excellent tour around the state last week. Over the weekend, GOP gubernatorial candidate Bill Berrien was interviewed by Matt Smith of UPFRONT. During the interview, he was asked if he needs President Trump’s endorsement to win the primary election. Pat Kreitlow joined Todd to ask another GOP candidate the same question at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair, and County Executive Josh Schoemann had a very different answer.

When Todd was a card-carrying Republican, they were the party of local control. They believed that the best decisions are often made close to home, and Todd is still largely of that mind. While the MAGA Republican party of today still bandies around with terms like “states’ rights,” their actions tell a different story. Trump’s DOJ is making moves to override reasonable gun legislation in several states about which establishments people are allowed to bring guns into.

This Tuesday, Todd and Aaron broadcast from Radio Park in Racine! Starting today, he will be traveling across the state with Jane Matenaer and Greg Bach of Matenaer On Air. Stay tuned for more details!

Over the weekend, Pat Kreitlow joined Todd at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair. Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann was present to announce his campaign for governor. He made a post on Twitter about his time spent meeting with passersby. However, new WisDems Chair Devin Remiker reposted this video with an image and caption that appear to mock Schoemann’s physical attributes and accuse him of lying about his campaign. This is not a good look for Democrats. Deriding President Trump for his personal attacks is less effective when they engage in similar rhetoric.

At the bottom of the hour, we are happy to welcome Representative Tip McGuire, a Democrat who represents Racine. Years ago, he and Todd worked together as staffers for the state assembly. Rep. McGuire also talks about how he ended up involved in politics as he grew up here in Kenosha county before addressing his concerns with our new state budget.

Over the weekend, Elmo’s official Twitter/X account got hacked. Yes, this is the Sesame Street friend we all know and love. Unfortunately, the account posted a slew of antisemitic rants.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: dieting or exercise? We take your calls on which weight loss method sucks more.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd celebrates Family Feud! This past Saturday was the 49th anniversary of the show’s pilot. Before Steve Harvey, Richard Dawson was the host, and the formula was much the same as it is today.

Todd’s back in the studio, but not for long! Starting tomorrow, he will be touring the state with Jane and Greg of Matenaer On Air. Stay tuned for more details!

MAGA is going through some turbulence as the Trump administration is jumping through hoops to avoid releasing the Epstein files. President Trump initially ran on the promise that he would release these files that allegedly contain records of a pedophilic sex trafficking ring. After claiming that the files don’t exist and then that the Obama family created them, the administration is losing the trust of many MAGA content creators like Matt Walsh.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd shares some breaking news. In layman’s terms, the US Supreme Court is saying the Trump administration’s Department of Education staff layoffs do not need to be reversed.

After touching on the courts, Todd pivots to rural news that will greatly impact medical care around our state. As we and many others reported beforehand, Trump’s new federal budget is greatly endangering rural hospitals. Many of these facilities and their patients rely on funding from Medicaid, and they were already struggling to make ends meet before these new cuts to their programs. According to NBC, an estimated 17 million people may lose coverage, and over 300 rural hospitals across the country are at risk of closure.

At the bottom of the hour, Eric Anderson joins us to talk about the U.S. National Kubb Championship taking place in Eau Claire this weekend! Kubb (pronounced koob) is an old Nordic lawn game that involves tossing batons to knock over opposing wooden blocks called “kubbs.” It’s a great way to get your family outside, and it can be played by people of all ages.

This Wednesday, we catch up on the latest state news with Pat Kreitlow of the conveniently named Mornings with Pat Kreitlow! Congressman (and perennial embarrassment to Wisconsin) Derrick Van Orden has made national headlines once again for being a liar. After voting against the interest of his constituents at a national level, he is attempting to claim credit for parts of the state budget that he has nothing to do with. After the Van Orden update, Todd and Pat discuss the UW System’s deliberation on potentially increasing tuition costs.

Todd ends the first hour of today’s show by beginning a discussion on what President Trump’s “no tax on tips” initiative will actually do for Wisconsinites.

To begin today’s show, Todd addresses some listener comments. Last week as we approached Independence Day, many of you expressed that celebration felt inappropriate for last weekend in light of the Trump administration’s horrendous acts. While Todd still believes that we should focus on striving for a better America, he doesn’t want to downplay the severity of current events. This may well be one of the darkest moments in American history since the civil war. Ultimately, while policy decisions being made right now are dangerous and deadly, the rhetoric may be even more harmful to our country. The dehumanization of minorities and escalating fear may lead to a day where citizens are too afraid to vote or otherwise make their voices heard. We cannot let MAGA take away our hope.

At the bottom of the hour, Wisconsin Watch Reporter Tom Kertscher joins us to share his latest fact brief on common claims about President Trump’s new federal budget. People across the political spectrum have lots to say about this new budget, and Tom is here to help us sort out the truth.

We round out our first hour with a discussion on one of Wisconsin’s less-loved Toms: Tom Tiffany. His latest social media posts continue to be off-base. Apparently, he has a new one-sided beef with Canada.

State Senator Kelda Roys sticks around into our second hour to answer more of your questions on the state budget. Between public education, childcare, and healthcare, this budget is likely a raw deal for Wisconsinites.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: swiss or cheddar? We take your texts about whether you like your cheese hole-y or sharp.

At 11 am, State Representative Jenna Jacobson (D - Oregon) announced that she will be running for State Senator Howard Marklein’s old seat in the 17th Senate District. This afternoon, we are excited to welcome her to the show to discuss her candidacy!

After a brief recap of the holiday weekend’s festivities, Todd turns to a more somber topic: the deadly floods in Texas. As of today’s show, approximately 90 people have been marked either dead or missing. Unfortunately, many of these deaths could have been preventable. Due to the staffing cuts to the National Weather Service by DOGE earlier this year, there were not enough people on duty during this natural disaster to punctually warn the citizens of the area.

Back here in Madison, Wisconsin, several homes of the members of the UW System Board of Regents have been vandalized with pro-Palestinian messages. Similarly, several businesses along State Street have been vandalized with messages stating that it’s time for “direct action” against fascists, with the “A” in action replaced by the anarchy symbol. In Todd’s view, the destruction of property and implied violence of this rhetoric is unacceptable. Peaceful protest is a cornerstone of democracy in our country, but crossing the line into violence can turn people away and harm the credibility of an otherwise important movement.

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys returns to the show. She provides her perspective on these acts of vandalism before taking your calls on our new state budget.

After some more discussion on our state budget, Todd asks us What’s Worse: firecrackers or sparklers?

Todd also takes some of your questions on whether or not we should be celebrating this Independence Day in the wake of the horrific budget bill that passed today. In Todd’s opinion, the great American ideals that our country strives for are still worth celebrating. While we are potentially in one of the darkest moments for American liberty since the civil war, we cannot lose hope. The first Independence Day was all about not having a king, and this one is about the same thing.

Today, two new budgets have officially passed. At about 1:30 this morning, Governor Evers signed our state budget into law with a series of line item vetoes. Similarly, President Trump’s budget reconciliation bill passed shortly before our show began today, with plans to sign it into law tomorrow. Todd begins with a focus on the federal budget and the dire consequences it will have for people all over the country.

At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Political Editor and Founder of The Recombobulation Area Dan Shafer joins us to cover our new state budget. He stayed up late last night with Chali Pittman and Jimmie Kaska of Civic Media News to keep up with everything going on in the Capitol building, and you can read their recap at civicmedia.us.

In today’s second hour, Todd updates us on the ever-embarrassing Congressman Derrick Van Orden’s latest conduct. During budget hearings today, a reporter asked him if President Trump is leading the GOP around “by the nose.” In typical bully fashion, he used foul language and belittled the reporter.

Trygve Olson sticks around as Todd asks us What’s Worse: beer tents or parades? While both are amazing, we take your calls and texts on which one doesn’t always live up to Summer celebration standards.

Are you a cheap date? If you ask Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) certainly is. McGovern refers to how easily Murkowski rolled over and voted with the MAGA crowd on Trump’s budget reconciliation bill, and he means it as quite the insult.

This week, we get a double dose of our typical midweek guests, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project! Firstly, we wish an early happy birthday to Pat, who celebrates 61 tomorrow. After that, we review the emergent details of Wisconsin’s state budget deal as it nears approval.

This morning, the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down our state’s 1849 abortion ban. We welcome Michelle Velasquez, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin’s Chief Strategy Officer, to explain how this affects women’s rights to healthcare. Ultimately, while this ruling still leaves some questions open, this is a big victory for personal healthcare rights, especially for women.

After some more discussion on the state budget, Todd moves on to President Trump’s massive budget reconciliation bill, which has now passed in the senate.

As we head into the Fourth of July weekend, Todd asks us What’s Worse: ketchup or mustard? There’s a lot more nuance to the discussion than you may expect.

Between state politics, national politics, and sports, the headlines are flying by at a dizzying rate. As we begin to unpack today’s news, Civic Media Sports Reporter Mike Clemens calls in to explain exactly what’s going down in the NBA draft. The Milwaukee Bucks have made some unexpected moves in efforts to assemble a younger team around superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.

After breaking down the sports news, Todd moves on to state budget news. While nothing is set in stone, Governor Evers has announced a potential budget deal that includes compromises on funding childcare and higher education while still prioritizing GOP tax cut initiatives. State Senator Kelda Roys joins us once again to share her thoughts on this deal and how she would like to improve it.

You know it’s a crazy news day when our next guest is discombobulated. At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Political Editor and Founder of The Recombobulation Area Dan Shafer returns to bring his perspective on the breaking budget news. During our show, the Joint Finance Committee took up a vote on this budget proposal, passing it with a 13-3 vote. State Senator LaTonya Johnson is among the Democrats voting yes, while State Senator Kelda Roys voted no.

At the bottom of the hour, we welcome Maggie Shreiner and Noe Goldhaber of Wisconsin Watch. They’re two of the organization’s newest reporting interns, and they’re already diving deep into stories that are important to our state.

Today, Todd is spending some time at a family gathering, so for our first hour, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project step in to guest host! They start off the show with a conversation about the Trump Administration’s proposal. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson has stood staunchly opposed to this bill, but over the weekend, he caved in. Pat and Trygve talk about how Republicans who don’t quite align with MAGA are acting around the nation. Some, like Senator Ron Johnson, are talking a big game and caving in behind closed doors. Others who actually fight substantively against the MAGA agenda find themselves pushed out of office.

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys joins us again for another weekly check-in on the state budget and other important happenings in the Capitol.

Happy Friday! To kick off today’s show, Civic Media Political Editor and founder of The Recombobulation Area Dan Shafer joins us live from the WAUK studios to share some breaking news. Ostensibly, the Republican-led state legislature is finally getting serious about passing a state budget. Realizing that they cannot do it on their own, they have now invited Democratic State Senator Dianne Hesselbein to the table for negotiations. While this move inspires some hope that a budget may yet be passed by July, we maintain a healthy skepticism. Yesterday’s Joint Finance Committee meeting was rescheduled to 10 am today before being delayed twice more to 2 pm and now 4 pm as we began our show.

After that discussion, we are joined once again by our friend and legal expert Matt Flynn. Yesterday, we spoke with him about some state Supreme Court decisions. Today, the national Supreme Court has released an opinion that may put birthright citizenship in danger.

Summer is the season of home renovation projects, so this afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: carpeting or wood floors? We take texts and calls on whether you’d rather have stained floors or cold feet.

After that, Todd addresses the chaos that the Trump administration’s budget proposals will cause in Wisconsin’s rural health care systems. A year ago, a rural nursing home in Sauk County warned that they would have to close if their funding was not addressed within the year. Now, they’re likely going to vote to shut their doors in a week. This has been happening across our state for years, and if MAGA Republicans get their way with our federal and state budgets, it’s going to get a whole lot worse very quickly.

This Wednesday, we are joined by our typical midweek guests, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project. We begin the show with an explanation of today’s unanimous state Supreme Court decision that limits the governor’s extremely powerful line item veto. Todd, Trygve and Pat also discuss the latest Marquette Law School Poll results and whether or not Tony Evers should run for a third term as governor. According to the latest results, 55% of Wisconsinites believe that he should not run again. However, who would be a better alternative?

After a brief recap of last night’s storms across the state, Todd brings us an update on the Israel-Iran conflict. The Trump administration appears to believe that a centuries-long conflict can be solved in a day, declaring a simple cease-fire agreement between the two countries. On the White House lawn, President Trump expressed frustration with the state of the conflict, saying that Israel and Iran “have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f*** they’re doing.” His statements exemplify Trump’s inability to effectively serve in an office as important and distinguished as President of the United States.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd brings attention to the foolishness of our Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. In another senate hearing, he admits that he has no idea what his department’s current guidelines actually are.

At the end of our first hour, Todd gives kudos to Governor Tony Evers for his efforts to support childcare providers in our state.

At the bottom of the hour, Wisconsin Watch Statehouse Bureau Chief Matt DeFour joins us to talk about a constructive way to use AI: rapid fact checking. Artificial intelligence is very good at condensing massive amounts of information that can then be verified by a human. Wisconsin Watch is using a new tool called Parser to quickly summarize interviews and public meetings and suggest newsworthy claims. This allows journalists to cover significantly more ground in a shorter amount of time, which is important in today’s world of rapid-fire headlines.

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys returns for her weekly Joint Finance Committee update. Since we last spoke with her, no progress has been made in budget negotiations. In fact, the committee hasn’t even had another meeting. Looming over this absence is the proposed $87 million cut to the UW System budget that we have reported on over the last week. According to Channel 3000, UW leadership are making moves in anticipation of this cut.

Despite Trump’s rhetoric about only deporting the worst of criminals, ICE agents are allegedly avoiding known gang areas and raiding Home Depots in LA instead.

Bradie’s background as a three-time B1G Badger football champion and NFL fullback give him a unique perspective on life’s challenges.

Today, we begin the show with another update on the Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee’s plans to cut $87 million from the UW System budget.

The chaos continues, as today, the JFC cancelled their meeting in its entirety.

Last night, Todd heard from his sources that the Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee was planning to announce an $87 million cut from the UW System budget today. Late this morning, the JFC removed this item from the agenda, likely due to calls from constituents after the agenda leaked. Remember, if you don’t like something your representative is doing, contact their office and let them know! You just might make a positive difference.

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by James Small, the Rural EMS Outreach Program Manager at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health. This relatively new program seeks to increase the reliability and sustainability of emergency medical services in rural areas around Wisconsin. EMS is handled by local governments, and young people who could fill those roles increasingly move out to bigger cities. James walks us through how his department is working to address these challenges.

We begin today’s second hour with another check-in from Wisconsin Watch Reporter Tom Kertscher. He joins us to share his reporting on the Wisconsin Democratic Convention that was held near Wisconsin Dells this weekend. One of his biggest takeaways is that Democrats agree that MAGA authoritarianism is a real threat to our democracy, but there is little if any agreement on how to address the issue. Tom also shares his latest fact briefs, which are short fact checks on things our elected officials claim.

At the bottom of the hour, Clean Wisconsin Communications Director Amy Barrilleaux joins us to celebrate National Pollinator Month! Today, Amy talks about common chemicals and pesticides that hurt pollinators and what we can do to reduce exposure.

Amy also hosts Clean Wisconsin’s podcast, The Defender! You can check out her work and more at cleanwisconsin.org.

Over the weekend, a Minnesota man assassinated former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman. He also murdered her husband and injured some other political targets. According to Channel 3000, the suspect, Vance Boelter, had a list of approximately 70 politicians he intended to kill, including Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin. Much like with last year’s attempt on Donald Trump’s life, MAGA pundits immediately took to social media to claim that the assassin is a Democrat. Todd takes some time to set the record straight. According to people in Boelter’s life, he is a Trump supporter, but regardless of that, there is no place for violence in our political system. MAGA leadership consistently callously politicizes tragedies like this, weaponizing them for political purposes before addressing the humanity of these situations.

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys returns for her weekly Joint Finance Committee update. After addressing the horrible violence of this last weekend, she dives into one of the most disappointing items being shot down by the state legislature: the lack of funding for the Universities of Wisconsin. As longtime listeners will know, this issue is very close to Todd’s heart. Sen. Roys agrees that the continued closures of UW campuses do not appear to be in our state’s best interest.

After that, Todd and Sen. Roys move to a broader political discussion following the weekend’s Democratic Party of Wisconsin Convention.

She is a massive Diet Coke fan, and more importantly, the Northeast Wisconsin Bureau Chief for Civic Media News. In addition to her news duties, she hosts NEWisco Weekend, an excellent magazine-style program that rounds up the latest and greatest community events in our state.

At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Political Editor and Founder of The Recombobulation Area Dan Shafer returns to drop a bombshell. In his latest article, Dan lays out why he believes that Governor Tony Evers should not run for a third term in 2026.

Breaking news: musician Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone passed away today at the age of 82. We celebrate his accomplishments by playing some of his music.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd returns to the national headlines and what they mean for us here in Wisconsin. This past weekend, protests in Los Angeles became violent and President Trump called in the national guard. This event may appear completely divorced from our state, but Todd believes that bigger things are happening.

Over the weekend, a Wisconsin sports legend passed away. Jerry Petitgoue of Cuba City coached basketball in our state for 60 years, ending his career with an incredible record of 1,027-249. WRCO and WRCE Station Manager Phil Nee has had many chances to observe and interview Coach Petitgoue over the years. Phil joins us today to share an interview he had with the coach in 2018 and celebrate his impact on Wisconsin high school sports.

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys joins us for another update on the Joint Finance Committee’s state budget negotiations. Unfortunately, we still haven’t seen much movement. Democrats are proposing increased funding for education and childcare, but Republicans staunchly oppose these measures despite our approximately $4 million budget surplus. Rural Republican-led districts are among those suffering the most from our state’s lack of funding in these areas.

Over the last couple of days, Elon Musk and President Trump have begun a brutal public feud. Rick Wilson of The Lincoln Project had some very insightful comments last night while recapping the exchanges of insults and threats. He still has contacts in the White House who tell him that Trump world is scrambling to try and get ahead of Musk’s attacks.

Eighty-one years ago today, American troops stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. Todd takes some time to recognize the tremendous sacrifices made by our military on that day that helped to secure our freedoms today.

At the bottom of the hour, our friend Bradie Ewing returns to share sports commentary and discuss the importance of character and integrity. He also weighs in on the latest Aaron Rodgers drama.

In today’s second hour, we are happy to welcome Emily Mills, a local independent writer and journalist. Lately, in addition to their own blog, they’ve been writing for The Recombobulation Area. Their latest column focuses on the dangers of artificial intelligence, but from a different angle than we typically hear. While fears that AI will harm humanity are not necessarily unfounded, it is likely farther away than many people believe. Meanwhile, this technology is already harming our environment in Wisconsin and around the world due to extreme power consumption. Visit www.therecombobulationarea.news and grist-from-the-mills.ghost.io to read more of Emily’s work!

We have some breaking news: former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is officially signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It appears he is not following the exact trajectory of Brett Favre. We talk with Civic Media Sports Reporter Mike Clemens at the bottom of the hour with more commentary on the future of both Rodgers and the Packers.

In political news, the US Supreme Court made a few important rulings this morning. Firstly, our highest court unanimously decided to drop Mexico’s lawsuit against the US gun industry. However, they did not sign the blank check that gun manufacturers asked for, leaving the door open for future accountability. Another unanimous decision allows for workers to more easily sue for “reverse discrimination,” where they feel they have been denied employment or promotion due to not being a minority.

We finish up this hour by covering the latest in President Trump and Elon Musk’s public feud.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: being awake in the middle of the night or oversleeping? We take your calls and texts.

Over the last few days, we have talked about Senator Joni Ernst’s absurd and condescending behavior at a recent town hall. Trygve weighs in on how MAGA normalizes being an absolute jerk.

As always on Wednesday, we are joined by Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow, as well as his new producer, Parker Olsen. Parker is an alum of UW-Whitewater, who today celebrates winning the national DIII baseball championship. He shares his pride in the school and its sports teams.

In political news, former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced today that she is leaving the Democratic party to join the trend of writing a book that slams former President Biden. Todd, Pat, and many of Jean-Pierre’s Democratic colleagues express some uncertainty about what her moves are intended to accomplish. Is this just a grift?

In a new article from Channel 3000, the Wisconsin DMV warns us of an increasing number of phishing scams. Scam artists pretend to be DMV officials and reach out to citizens asking for personal information. Remember, government agencies will not send you messages asking for money or personal information. If you get one of these messages, contact your local DMV at their official number for more information.

Here in Wisconsin, we find all kinds of creative ways to celebrate food and beer, and not all of them have to be strictly unhealthy. Clayton Ljungberg of Oconomowoc has made a name for himself by combining his physical fitness journey with some of the things that make Wisconsin great.

In today’s second hour, Todd is joined by Civic Media Sports Director Jimmie Kaska for an update on the latest rule changes in Wisconsin high school sports. The biggest change that most people are aware of is the introduction of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deals to our high schools. We are one of the last states to adopt NIL at the high school level. However, high school deals will look very different from the huge sponsorships we see at the college level. Jimmie walks us through the differences, from who is eligible to be sponsored to how large those sponsorships can be.

At the bottom of the hour, we talk about late Spring cleaning. Todd asks us What’s Worse: cleaning out the garage or cleaning out the car? We take your calls and texts on which chore is more daunting.

Last week, we told you about DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s social media posts accusing Milwaukee resident Ramon Morales Reyes of planning to assassinate President Trump. As it turns out, Demetric Scott, another Milwaukee man, set up false information in an effort to prevent Morales Reyes from pursuing legal action after being physically assaulted by Scott. As of this broadcast, even after Demetric Scott confessed, Kristi Noem’s post slamming Morales Reyes is still up.

This afternoon, Wisconsin Watch Reporter and Fact Checker Tom Kertscher returns to cover the latest political news in our state. One of his latest articles highlights Wisconsin’s tremendous decline in childhood vaccination rate. Over the past 30 years, the number of Wisconsin parents electing not to vaccinate their children has grown four times larger, endangering the “herd immunity” of children. This is likely due at least in part to increasing vaccine skepticism fueled by figures like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

After the vaccine discussion, Tom shares some of his latest Fact Briefs, which are essentially succinct fact checks. Here are a few responses on statements shared at our state’s Republican Party Convention:

Would ‘the vast majority’ of Americans get a 65% tax increase if GOP megabill doesn’t become law? Short answer: no.
Does Mississippi rank higher than Wisconsin in fourth grade reading scores? Short answer: yes, but with some caveats.
Is being transgender classified as a mental illness? Short answer: no.

Last week, Iowa Senator Joni Ernst held a town hall, which is a rarity among Republicans these days. When discussing Medicaid cuts proposed in upcoming GOP legislation, one of her constituents exclaimed, “people are going to die!” Sen. Ernst responded by saying that everybody is going to die someday. Today, we share a video she posted on social media the next day, doubling down on her callousness and insulting the intelligence of her constituents. This is truly shameful behavior from a United States senator.

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys returns for another update on the Joint Finance Committee’s state budget deliberations. Sen. Roys informs us that the GOP members of the JFC continue to hold up the process as the deadline creeps ever closer. Our state’s systems for childcare, healthcare, LGBTQ+ rights and more could be in jeopardy, and we walk through the issues and how to solve them.

Earlier this week, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem tweeted about a Wisconsin resident who allegedly wrote a letter expressing intent to kill President Trump. All evidence points to the contrary, indicating that this individual was set up, and that his reputation has been irreversibly ruined by this false accusation.

Meeting new people can be anxiety-inducing, especially if you’re not a big fan of handshakes. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: handshakes or fist bumps? We take your calls and texts.

After a quick tribute to a few of our colleagues new and old, Todd moves to some of the most important news of the day. According to Dan Bice at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, over 130 retired judges are urging the court system to drop their case against Milwaukee Judge Dugan.

The Trump administration is further meddling in Wisconsin affairs, identifying Shawano County as a “sanctuary county” for immigrants. This has no basis in reality. Shawano County is, however, a self-identified sanctuary county for second amendment gun rights. It is very likely that Trump’s team used AI to find any county or city that mentioned the word “sanctuary” without actually looking into the specifics.

At the bottom of the hour, we are proud to introduce Chali Pittman, Civic Media’s new News Director! She has worked in journalism and radio for years, and comes to us most recently from WORT, a community radio station here in Madison.

As the kids come home from school this summer, Todd asks us What’s Worse: being too busy or having nothing to do? We take your calls and texts.

There has been a disastrous breakup in the White House! Elon Musk is officially leaving his position as head of the Department of Government Efficiency, as President Trump has “broken up” with him. This is likely because of Trump’s distaste for those he deems “losers,” a category Elon Musk now lies in after funding the losing side of Wisconsin’s state supreme court election. While the effects of DOGE cuts will cause serious problems and cost many lives around the world, Todd tries to bring some levity by playing some of the most popular breakup songs of all time.

Allbaugh questions the ethics behind such pardons, suggesting a pay-to-play scheme. The episode also debates the culinary conundrum: what's worse, a la carte menus or buffets? Listeners weigh in on the choice between pricey, exclusive dishes and the unpredictable quality of buffets. Amidst the banter, the episode touches on international student visa issues and celebrates Badger basketball's John Blackwell returning to school, bringing a hopeful note to the mix.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd shifts gears to cover the serious news from the weekend. President Trump spoke at the commencement ceremony for West Point, one of America’s finest military academies. Between his attire, behavior, and rhetoric, Todd believes that Trump has made a mockery of those who put on the uniform.

In stark contrast to our president, Scott Pelley of CBS and 60 Minutes spoke at a different commencement ceremony. He spoke openly and honestly, protesting the decline of free speech in America.

With a presence in 79 countries, The Nature Conservancy is one of the world’s largest organizations dedicated to conservation. Alex joins us to talk about how we can all chip in to maintain Wisconsin’s natural resources. Previously on our show, we have spoken about the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund, a fantastic program that funds a lot of conservation efforts in Wisconsin. Alex provides more detail on what the Stewardship Fund does and what its future may look like under current legislation.

Since he’s broadcasting on the shore of Black River, Todd asks us What’s Worse: heights or water? We take a bunch of calls on the matter.

Today, Todd joins us live from beautiful Black River Falls. After convening around 1 am last night, the House of Representatives passed their reconciliation bill by one vote early this morning. If it passes in the senate and is implemented, this bill may have dire consequences for the people of Wisconsin, particularly when it comes to healthcare.

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by James Kelly, Northwestern Wisconsin Bureau Chief for Civic Media News. He reminds us of the current healthcare struggles in rural Wisconsin and how they will be exacerbated by this reconciliation bill. The HSHS hospital system closed due to insufficient Medicaid reimbursement, and this bill looks to cut Medicaid further.

After the discussion on the “big, beautiful bill,” James updates us on other news from his area of the state, including yet another abandoned boat.

As we head into Memorial Day weekend, there are plenty of opportunities for refreshing beverages, but they aren’t always amazing. Todd asks us What’s Worse: flat soda or warm beer?

At the bottom of the hour, Gordy Kopke of Kopke’s Greenhouse (a sponsor of Civic Media) returns to answer your plant-related questions. One of Todd’s favorite treats is homemade salsa with fresh ingredients, all of which are available from Kopke’s. They also talk about how to ensure your plants survive Wisconsin’s unpredictable weather.

Today, Todd broadcasts live from Kopke’s Greenhouse just outside of Oregon, Wisconsin! The founder and owner, Gordy Kopke, has made a name for himself by selling the highest quality products and providing excellent customer service. His business gets a substantial amount of their electricity from four solar panel arrays, and they are dedicated to giving back to the community in meaningful ways. Every year, they run a planter auction to support our veterans through Badger Honor Flight.

We kick off the show with our usual Wednesday guests, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project. After a brief recap of the day’s political news, they share their remembrances for Memorial Day.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd is joined by Gordy Kopke himself to share some of the history of Kopke’s Greenhouse and this weekend’s fundraiser. If you can’t make it to the event and still want to support Badger Honor Flight this Sunday, you can call 608-835-7569 to either bid over the phone or make a direct credit card donation.

Civic Media is proud to have Kopke’s Greenhouse as a sponsor. Gordy and his company are part of what makes Wisconsin great.

Breaking news: George Wendt, famous for playing Norm on Cheers, passed away at the age of 76. Todd takes a moment to commemorate the achievements of this great actor.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: spam or junk mail? We take your calls on whether it’s more annoying to have garbage in your email inbox or your real mailbox.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd addresses the latest misdirections from the Trump administration. Apparently, the Qatari government were not the ones to reach out and offer their $400,000,000 plane as a gift. The Trump administration reached out to Qatar to request the plane.

Over the weekend, former President Joe Biden announced that he has been diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Biden family, and we hope that treatment is effective. After sending out a supportive Tweet, current President Trump displayed a lack of empathy when responding to interview questions about the cancer diagnosis, focusing instead on the results of his own physical exams.

In other saddening news, two women died yesterday in a shooting at the UW-Platteville dorms.

After bringing up this tragedy, we are joined by positive psychology coach Kira Sabin for the second in a three-part series for Mental Health Awareness Month. Today, she talks about strategies for coping with the hand life deals us.

In today’s second hour, we are pleased to welcome Tom Kertscher, one of the great reporters from Wisconsin Watch, to cover the latest news in our state. As Todd mentioned in our first hour, the Wisconsin GOP held their annual convention over the weekend, and Tom was there to cover the event.

Subscribe to Forward, Wisconsin Watch’s weekly newsletter, at wisconsinwatch.org/subscribe to keep up with the most important things happening in the Capitol and how they affect you.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd takes a detour to talk about one of his favorite breakfast foods: eggs. What’s Worse: sunny side up or over easy?

Over the weekend in Rothschild, WI, the Republican Party of Wisconsin held their annual convention. When asked why conservative candidates have been losing in our state’s supreme court races, Congressman Derrick Van Orden responded that “Republicans don’t vote in Spring elections.” He went as far as to say that we should get rid of Spring elections in their entirety, folding everything into the Fall ballot. RPW Chairman Brian Schimming was asked if he agrees with Van Orden, and his response was hilarious.

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys joins us once again in-studio to cover the latest developments from the Joint Finance Committee’s budget negotiations. The bottom line is that, as we’ve come to expect, extreme partisanship is largely blocking all progress in formulating a budget. From childcare to education and beyond, Sen. Roys walks us through the investments she believes will help drive Wisconsin forward.

This afternoon, Todd asks the forgetful among us What’s Worse: losing your phone or losing your keys?

At the bottom of the hour, we bring you more information on dangerous weather around the state before sharing some breaking news. The US Supreme Court has temporarily blocked President Trump from deporting Venezuelan immigrants without due process in a 7-2 decision. Unsurprisingly, Thomas and Alito are the dissenters.

Remember Kristi Noem, the woman who shot a puppy instead of training it? Well, as the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, she’s working with the producers of Duck Dynasty to create a show that pits potential immigrants against each other in a contest to fast track their US citizenship application. This is a sick and disgusting dehumanization of people who are already suffering.

Todd begins today’s show with a recap of yesterday’s disastrous weather across the state. As the incredible Mr. Rogers always said, “in times of trouble, look for the helpers.” Our state’s first responders always do an incredible job meeting the moment to protect and repair our communities.

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by Brynne and Mike Schieffer of Faith Lutheran Child Care Center in Cameron, Wisconsin. Aside from some hiccups during the COVID-19 pandemic, they’ve been running their nonprofit childcare business successfully since 2011. However, our state’s refusal to fund childcare is making it harder and harder for these businesses to stay open. Wisconsin is one of only six states that do not financially support childcare in any capacity.

We begin our second hour with another weather update. Storm and tornado watches have been upgraded to warnings in some areas of the state. Stay tuned to the weather, and stay safe, folks!

Going back to the news, President Trump is spending his first state trip abroad in the Middle East, heaping praise upon dictators of countries who have committed atrocities against innocent civilians, journalists, and Americans. These actions continue to weaken America’s position in the world, prompting our allies to form new alliances without us. Even other Republicans, including Sen. John Kennedy, are speaking out against Trump’s friendliness with countries like Qatar.

What’s wrong with people? According to CBS, many federal judges around the country are suffering from “pizza doxxing” attacks. Individuals are sending pizzas with coded violent messages to the personal homes of these judges. While the name sounds comical, pizza doxxing is not funny at all.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd asks us What’s Worse: M&M’s or Reese’s Pieces? Both colorful candies are beloved by many, but which one just doesn’t quite cut it for you?

Todd kicks off today’s show with a discussion on weather. After a brief update on some storms brewing across the state, we dive into the chaos ensuing in NOAA after DOGE made massive cuts to the national weather service.

In other Wisconsin news, according to WISN 12, the Trump administration is ending temporary protections for Afghan refugees, including approximately 120 individuals in Wisconsin. Many of these people served as interpreters for American troops stationed in Afghanistan, saving countless lives in exchange for a safe place to live in America. President Trump is now going back on that promise.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd shares some thoughts from columnist Michael Harriot to explain the controversy surrounding David Hogg and the allegedly bungled DNC vice chair election. Allegedly, the election did not follow the DNC’s own bylaws, giving Hogg an unfair advantage. As an award-winning Black journalist and an expert on diversity, Harriot believes that errors like this are the reason many white Americans believe that DEI programs are out to get them. Todd agrees, and finds that this long delay before addressing the issue indicates either incompetence or willful ignorance, neither of which is a good look for Democrats.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd updates us on the latest odd political moves from Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson. Sen. Johnson is threatening not to vote for Trump’s “big beautiful bill” budget proposal without far deeper cuts to federal programs.

This Wednesday, Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us to talk about the latest national news, as well as ways to find hope in today’s crazy world.

Not only is President Trump’s acceptance of a $400 million Qatari jet illegal and unconstitutional, it is incredibly dangerous. This plane is not built to the security and safety standards required of Air Force One, and it is likely full of listening devices.

At the end of the hour, Trygve gives us some reminders on how to have productive discussions when we have political disagreements.

This afternoon, Todd continues the theme of mental health awareness by asking us What’s Worse: guilt or shame? In other words, is it worse to have wronged another or to feel bad about yourself?

After What’s Worse, Todd covers a story about a TikTok trend leading kids to set their Chromebooks on fire. Unfortunately, yes, this is real.

At the national level, DNC Vice Chair David Hogg finds himself in hot water. Some other Democrats are calling for a redo of the election that awarded Hogg his chairmanship. Where is all of this infighting coming from, and how is it productive?

Today, we are excited to welcome our friend and ongoing contributor Kira Sabin back to the show! As a positive psychology coach, she kicks off a three-part series for Mental Health Awareness Month. The world is a crazy place right now, and humans aren’t wired to handle constant catastrophe. Today, Kira focuses on the concept of control. Whether it’s the weather, other people in our lives, or the state of the entire world, there are a lot of things that we simply cannot control. Accepting this fact and diverting energy to the things within our control is a much healthier use of our time.

Listen in to hear more about the four things that only WE can control in our own lives: physical health, emotional health, passion, and self-worth.

This last weekend, a tragic fire in an outdated Milwaukee apartment building killed five people and injured or displaced several others.

As the weather warms up, many people will be exercising more to try and lose weight. Todd asks us What’s Worse: pointing out weight loss or not pointing out weight loss? Some people are sensitive about these issues, but others want to show it off.

At the bottom of the hour, Jack Kelly of Wisconsin Watch returns to the show to share some of the biggest news from their weekly newsletter, Forward. As Sen. Kelda Roys spoke about earlier, the Joint Finance Committee’s budget negotiations take top billing in state news. Jack walks us through the basics of the budget process and many of the key debates, including the future of childcare funding.

On the day after Mothers’ Day, Todd reminds us that it’s important to spend some time face-to-face with the people we care about.

As ABC broke over the weekend, Qatar is giving the Trump administration a brand-new “palace in the sky” airplane to serve as Air Force One. After Trump’s term as President ends, the aircraft would be set aside for his personal use. This gift appears to clearly violate the constitutional rules on accepting what could be considered bribes. In addition to corruption, using a foreign-built plane for the President opens our nation up to incredible security risks.

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys joins us in-studio to talk about our state budget and why it matters to all Wisconsinites. GOP representatives in our state, such as State Senator Howard Marklein, appear to be refusing to advocate for their constituents as they face massive cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. When asked about budget cuts like these, Sen. Marklein either feigns ignorance or claims he has no power to help people despite his position as Co-Chair of the Joint Finance Committee.

From Thursday's show: Banding Together For Conservation In Green Bay (Hour 1)

At the bottom of the hour, we welcome State Representative Amaad Rivera-Wagner to the program! He proudly represents Green Bay, having previously served as Mayor Eric Genrich’s Chief of Staff. After briefly catching up on some of the great things going on in Green Bay since the NFL draft, Rep. Rivera-Wagner shifts to a more serious topic. DOGE cuts to the federal government have slashed AmeriCorps, the domestic version of the Peace Corps. Green Bay is home to Wisconsin’s first municipal branch of AmeriCorps, the Green Bay Conservation Corps. This organization was also defunded, and Rep. Rivera-Wagner is fighting to raise awareness and keep this program open. His efforts have been supported by people all across the political spectrum, keeping the GBCC open at least through August.

To kick off today’s second hour, we speak with our friend and legal expert Matt Flynn on the selection of an American Pope.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: losing hair or gaining weight? Neither of these signs of aging are pleasant. It’s hard to choose, so we take your calls and texts to determine which is worse.

At the bottom of the hour, we debut a new segment: On The Edge Of Culture And Comedy with Keegan Kelly! As a writer at Cracked.com, he has a lot of unique takes on the culture of media. It’s been a long time since we’ve had him on the show, so we take some time to catch up on his latest work. Here are the articles we delve into:

White smoke has been seen at the Vatican, and we have a new Pope! Illinois native Cardinal Robert Prevost shall now be known as Pope Leo XIV. All signs point to a continuation of the late Pope Francis’s more progressive views.

Here in Wisconsin, we have some breaking news as well. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Democratic Elias Law Group is filing with the Wisconsin Supreme Court to reconsider the constitutionality of our state’s congressional districts. Nick Ramos, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, joins Todd in-studio to provide his take on this legal challenge.

Trygve Olson sticks around into our second hour as Todd asks us What’s Worse: snakes or skunks? We take your calls and texts!

At the bottom of the hour, Todd moves on to a topic he loves dearly: cryptocurrency. (That was sarcasm.) Remember Donald Trump’s “meme coin” that debuted this January? Well, according to NBC, a select 58 individuals have made tens of millions of dollars while 764,000 people have lost money.

It took a few tries, but we have finally reunited Pat Kreitlow of the conveniently-named morning drive time radio program Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project at our new time of 2-4 pm.

Right off the bat, Pat shares some news from the Capitol building in Madison. A hearing had to be adjourned due to disruptive behavior from Democrats. Pat, Todd, and Trygve agree that some decorum should be maintained, but some of our texters disagree.

In other Wisconsin news, according to WPR, the Adams County Board is attempting to overturn a legitimate election for their treasurer.

Our producer Aaron is back today, which lines up perfectly with the latest edition of What’s Worse: sweating or shivering? We also call Pat Kreitlow live on the air to ask about a scheduling issue, and hilarity ensues.

At the bottom of the hour, Matt Raboin of Brix Cider and Corrine Hendrickson of Corrine’s Little Explorers join us to talk about the dire state of childcare in Wisconsin. Despite plentiful research demonstrating the incredible economic return when the government invests in childcare, states like ours are refusing to contribute any money. Tonight, Main Street Alliance is holding a Community Conversation about Child Care at Brix Cider in Mt. Horeb at 6 pm. (note: while normally closed on Tuesdays, Brix is indeed open tonight for this event.)

Today, Todd kicks off the show by sharing some great local reporting from WEAU in Eau Claire on cryptocurrency scams. Some companies have set up kiosks to purchase cryptocurrency around the state for a huge 20-30% fee. Notably, these same currencies can be purchased without fees on the internet. Scammers have commandeered these kiosks to commit identity theft, and the Wood County Sheriff’s Department believes that the companies who run them are complicit. The department recommends that everybody stay away from these dangerous crypto kiosks.

After a brief tangent on Todd’s newest lucky pants, he dives into a topic that’s about to become a lot more relevant for Americans: Real ID. Real ID is a federal identification program that is often denoted with a star on state IDs such as driver licenses. According to Axios, a Real ID-compliant identification will be required to fly domestically or enter many types of federal buildings starting tomorrow on May 7th. Some forms of ID, such as passports, are also sufficient. Todd talks us through the process of acquiring a Real ID if you don’t have one yet. Visit dlguides.wi.gov or your local DMV to learn more.

Todd Allbaugh dives into Trump's wild idea of slapping a 100% tariff on foreign films, sparking a debate on domestic film production. Wisconsin's own cinematic history is highlighted, with a push from Governor Evers to revive the state's film office, a move originally championed by Tommy Thompson but later killed by Republicans. From the Blues Brothers' Milwaukee scenes to Johnny Depp's Madison shoot, Wisconsin's Hollywood connections shine. Meanwhile, a jaw-dropping Trump cryptocurrency deal with Abu Dhabi raises corruption alarms, potentially setting a new scandal record. Sam Davisson and listeners share laughs and insights, making for a lively show.

Cinco de Mayo kicks off with Todd Allbaugh and Sam Davisson at the helm while Zommers is down with illness. The episode dives into Wisconsin's brewing political scene as Washington County's Josh Schoeman enters the 2026 governor's race. With Evers' future undecided, the GOP primary tensions rise. Meanwhile, Milwaukee Judge Dugan's arrest echoes a past Massachusetts case, spotlighting potential political motivations behind federal charges. Todd also shares a laughable Brewers game story, and reflects on Ron Johnson's apathy towards improving Wisconsin - be it on the farms or the schools of Milwaukee.

Todd Allbaugh dives into the challenges of balancing personal space versus being smothered, sparking a spirited debate among listeners. The episode takes a serious turn with discussions about the Trump administration's controversial policies: federal employees being tracked, Governor Evers' legal battle with ICE, and the shocking attempt to cut funding for PBS and NPR. Todd's commentary on Sesame Street underscores the importance of public broadcasting in education, while callers express their concerns about the GOP's overreach. Amidst the heavy topics, Todd finds solace in community spirit and a hopeful future led by the younger generation.

Governor Tony Evers stands firm against the Trump administration's Tom Holman, who criticized Evers' guidance to state employees on handling ICE agents. Evers, labeled as 'courageous' by many, rebuffs Holman, asserting he follows the law. Meanwhile, Wisconsin Republican Rep. Callahan calls for Evers' arrest, echoing Trump's aggressive tactics. Todd, along with guest Trygve Olson of the Lincoln Project, dissect the implications on democracy, highlighting a global autocratic vs. democratic battle. Amidst this chaos, the episode questions if America is veering towards autocracy, urging listeners to defend democratic values.

It’s the first day of May! To commemorate No Mow May, Todd asks us What’s Worse: a lawn with weeds or a lawn with no weeds? To some, this question seems obvious, but not everybody agrees.

We begin today’s show with some breaking news from Washington, D.C. that’s very pertinent to Wisconsinites. The House Judiciary Committee met yesterday to sort out some budget concerns. One amendment on the table would have mandated adherence to the Constitution and forbid ICE from deporting US citizens. Per their own operational policies, it is already illegal for ICE to arrest or detain US citizens, but this does not appear to have stopped them in recent weeks. The amendment failed by one vote. Two of Wisconsin’s Republican congressmen voted against it, and one didn’t even bother to show up and vote.

At the bottom of the hour, we pick up the torch from Matenaer On Air to talk about Fat Bird Week. We are joined by Lisa Gaumnitz, the SOS Save Our Songbirds Coordinator! You may have heard of Fat Bear Week, but they aren’t the only animals who bulk up for the Winter. You can head to wisconservation.org/fat-bird-week/ to vote for your favorite chubby birds over the next week!

In addition to the fun competition, Fat Bird Week is all about educating Wisconsinites on how to contribute to bird conservation in their own backyards. Lisa provides some easy tips to take good care of the birds in your neighborhood.

At the bottom of the hour, film critic Tim Grierson returns to the show! As Senior U.S. Critic for Screen International, he brings us a great look at the current landscape of the film industry before diving into an important topic: his favorite Nicolas Cage movies.

Pat Kreitlow of the conveniently-named morning drive time radio program Mornings with Pat Kreitlow has made the migration with us to our new time of 2-4! We start off with a story from Fox News about our GDP, which is declining for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. The economy is sliding so far that not even Fox News hosts can try to spin it in a positive manner. On the other hand, Trump himself can’t seem to stop lying and making excuses.

To kick off our second hour, we take more calls and texts on how the first 100 days of Trump’s second term have affected our listeners personally.

As we reach peak brat grilling season, Todd asks us What’s Worse: sauerkraut or stinky cheese?

At the bottom of the hour, Todd updates us on more news of the day. This morning, Amazon announced that they would show consumers price breakdowns to explain how tariffs are increasing the cost of goods. After pressure from the White House, they have already backed down on this policy.

Now that Trump has had the wheel of the country for 100 days, polling from Fox News shows that Americans aren’t too happy with the results. From the economy to foreign policy, his numbers are underwater. Stephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff, went on Fox News to demand that they fire their pollsters, stating that they are “always wrong” about President Trump. This is simply false. Despite the extreme bias of the Fox News entertainment programs, their polling division has proven to be extraordinarily accurate.

We take some calls this hour on how Trump’s first 100 days have affected Wisconsinites in their day-to-day lives.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: no clouds or a cloudy day? From sunburn to humidity to fishing conditions, there are a lot of reasons people might be miserable outside.

After What’s Worse, Todd delves into what we can expect when Congress goes back into session on Monday. Some of the biggest concerns for Americans are proposed cuts to Social Security and Medicaid, and this is when the rubber hits the road. The tax cuts that MAGA Republicans want to implement can only be funded by cutting these vital programs, but many have pledged to their constituents that they will not do so. On Monday, we’ll find out where their loyalties truly lie.

After a brief update on some expected severe weather around the state this evening, we are joined by Civic Media Sports Reporter Mike Clemens! Mike was on the scene in Green Bay for the NFL draft last weekend, so he walks us through the biggest news of the event.

In other sports news, the Milwaukee Bucks have confirmed that Damian Lillard is out with another injury after tearing his left Achilles tendon. This injury will likely prevent him from playing through most or all of next season.

As we mentioned on the show previously, Bill Owens has resigned after 24 years as Executive Producer of 60 Minutes on CBS. At the end of yesterday’s show, Scott Pelley shared some refreshingly blunt and candid comments about how this situation occurred. After pressure from CBS’s parent company Paramount, Owens felt he had lost journalistic independence and resigned to maintain integrity.

The reason for Paramount’s apparent interference is likely a potential merger of major media companies that the Trump administration would have to approve. Previously, CBS drew criticism from the president as he falsely claimed that 60 Minutes edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris in a misleading manner. Ultimately, President Trump’s attacks on news companies are eerily similar to actions taken by dictators like Nayib Bukele in other countries.

In today’s second hour, we switch to lighter topics. First, we welcome Brandon Ewing, former Badger and NFL fullback Bradie’s older brother and a fantastic coach in his own right, to talk about the NFL draft! A huge part of the excitement of the events is in the families, friends, and communities surrounding newly drafted players. Brandon shares what it was like when his brother was picked.

Wisconsin is one of the last states to authorize name, image, and likeness (NIL) sponsorship deals for high school sports. As a high school coach, Brandon shares his thoughts on where the WIAA is headed.

At the bottom of the hour, eBaum’s World Managing Editor Peter Rapine returns for another week in review! As always, these stories are crazy things that real people actually did. This week, he also brings us a few exclusives that haven’t yet been posted on the site! We also hear some of Peter’s personal life stories of finding love in Mexico.

Here are the other stories he shared with us this week:

Shaq Almost Definitely Sh*t His Pants On Live TV
Australian Airport Begs Passengers To Stop Showing Up Drunk
Delta Passengers Forced To Hold Up Plane's Ceiling Mid-Flight
Man Gets Arrested For Cleaning Old Woman's Yard For Free

Earlier today, the FBI arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan for allegedly obstructing justice by aiding an undocumented person in an escape from ICE capture. Apparently, ICE agents were poised outside of Judge Dugan’s courtroom to detain a defendant during a pre-trial conference. Judge Dugan then directed the defendant and his legal team to exit through a private door.

Here to dissect the situation is our friend and legal expert Matt Flynn. From the information publicly available, it is Matt’s opinion that Judge Dugan has not done anything illegal. Judges in Wisconsin are allowed to direct people in their courtrooms to use any exits they wish. If anything, the ICE agents disrupted the sanctity of her courtroom, as they did not have a judicial warrant.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd rounds up the latest news on the Trump administration’s tariff purgatory. After a meeting with several retail executives, it appears that Trump has been convinced to soften the tariffs he plans to impose on Chinese goods. While this is almost certainly a good move, it’s too little too late, as Trump’s wanton application of tariffs have already caused many shipments to be canceled or routed elsewhere.

Today marks the beginning of the NFL draft in Green Bay! Civic Media’s brilliant Sports Reporter Mike Clemens is on the scene, and he calls in to paint us a picture of the event preparations. We also listen to a report from our very own Teri Barr on the draft.

While they don’t always come out on top, the Green Bay Packers have always led the NFL in terms of culture. The great Vince Lombardi set an incredible example of acceptance and inclusion by demanding respect and equality for all of his players, no matter their race or sexuality.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd’s old broadcast partner Kevin O’Connor (unfortunately a Bears fan) returns to talk about Packers and Bears draft booms and busts over the years.

At the bottom of the hour, Matt Solomon of Cracked.com joins us to weigh in on the 50th season of Saturday Night Live. He walks through how the show compares to older seasons and what its future may look like in the age of social media.

Today is our first show at our new time of 2-4 pm! Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project follows us into the mid-afternoon to share his unique perspective on the news of the day. Like Todd, he is a native Wisconsinite and former Republican. Unlike Todd, Trygve has worked in politics at all levels around the world, including presidential campaigns and battling authoritarianism in Eastern Europe. We ask Trygve about the developments of the Trump administration’s complete disregard of due process and rule of law.

At the bottom of the hour, we are visited by Democratic political operative Joe Zepecki of Zepecki Communications. Ben Wikler recently announced that he will not run for reelection as Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. Now, Zepecki is running to carry on the torch. He talks with Todd and Trygve about the ways he plans to build on Wikler’s legacy of success in our state.

In our second hour, Todd spends some more time remembering the late Pope Francis. He shares some of his memorable quotes and remarks from former President Obama.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: bad breath or body odor? Neither is a great smell, but which one makes you want to gag?

Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Signalgate controversy continues to balloon to increasingly disconcerting levels. Hegseth used non-government communication channels for classified military plans, accidentally including a journalist in the group chat. We now know that Hegseth also used his personal phone to share classified military plans with family members and his lawyer.

Tomorrow, Todd will broadcast live from Governor Nelson State Park to celebrate Earth Day!

This morning, Pope Francis passed away. Todd believes that this Pope was one of the greatest in modern history due to his humility and intentional reflection of Christ’s teachings over religious dogma. Regardless of one’s religion, Pope Francis’s focus on acceptance was admirable.

Today, our friend Matt Flynn joins us to talk about the Pope’s impact on Catholicism. In addition to serving as the Chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, Matt is an attorney, and he represented Milwaukee’s Roman Catholic Archdiocese for many years. In this position, he had a unique vantage point on the Catholic sexual abuse scandal. He shares details good and bad in his book, Confessions of a Church Lawyer: In Defense of Christianity.

We also ask Matt’s opinion on continuing developments in the Trump administration’s illegal deportations. What does this mean for the future of due process in America?

At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Sports Director Jimmie Kaska joins us to discuss some big changes coming to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA). Once again, Name, Image and Likeness deals are potentially on the table for high school students. Wisconsin is the last state to allow these NIL deals in high school, and Jimmie expects the amendment to pass this time.

From Tuesday's show: How Trump’s Policies Are Wrecking Your Coffee (Hour 2)

We welcome TJ Semanchin, Owner and President of Wonderstate Coffee! He and his Viroqua-based business are part of what makes Wisconsin great. Wonderstate has developed relationships with coffee farmers around the world to ensure that they are fairly compensated for the excellent coffee they grow. However, from cutting USAID to implementing nonsensical tariffs, the Trump administration’s actions are causing companies like Wonderstate to either increase prices or shut down entirely. For coffee in particular, low supply has already increased prices before these tariffs.

From Friday's show: Saving Hearts and Killing Rats by Doug Moe (Hour 2)

At the bottom of the hour, Madison-based author Doug Moe returns to the show to talk about his latest book, Saving Hearts and Killing Rats: Karl Paul Link and the Discovery of Warfarin. It’s an incredible Wisconsin story and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Wisconsin Book of the Month.

In the last Wisconsin state budget, Governor Evers used his line-item veto power to extend public school funding increases for the next 400 years. As of this morning, our state supreme court has ruled that this move is constitutional and will stand. While many of us agree that funding schools is important, is this the right way to do it? Todd isn’t so sure. We take some calls and texts with your thoughts.

In other news, a Wisconsin Elections Committee meeting devolved into a shouting match yesterday evening. Bob Spindell, a known perpetrator of 2020’s fake elector scheme, attempted to steer the conversation towards Milwaukee’s April 1st ballot shortages, a topic which was absent from the agenda. According to decorum rules, this is out of order, and Committee Chair Ann Jacobs yelled over Spindell until he returned to the topic at hand. Milwaukee has long been a scapegoat for the Wisconsin GOP to falsely claim that our state does not have secure elections. Spindell’s false outrage over a solved issue demonstrates further that he is unfit to serve on WEC.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: pity or ambivalence? We ask listeners to call and text in, but it’s no big deal. We have no strong feelings either way.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd brings us updates on two breaking news stories. Firstly, he brings new information on the shooting at Florida State University. Currently, six people are being treated in hospitals, but no casualties have been announced. The suspect is in custody after a shootout with police.

The next breaking news story revolves around President Trump’s move to end birthright citizenship. After pressure from Trump’s team, the Supreme Court has agreed to bypass the typical court process to hear the case on this potential revocation of rights.

According to great reporting from the Daily Cardinal, Federal Judge William Conley has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from canceling the visa of a UW-Madison student, pending appropriate due process.

BREAKING NEWS: Before we kick off today’s show, Todd shares early details on an active shooter situation at Florida State University in Tallahassee. Stay tuned to your local news to hear more details as they become available.

Today, we are very excited to welcome Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich! He recently wrote a guest column in The Recombobulation Area on where the Democratic party should go from here. He believes that the party is not taking strong enough action to carry out the will of the people. Genrich says that the high attendance of anti-MAGA protests and anti-oligarchy rallies across the country beg the question: do Democrats really want to be the party of the status quo?

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Sarah Keyeski returns to the program to update us on what she has accomplished in her first three months in office. Currently, she is fighting to proactively ban hedge funds from buying up single-family residences and jacking up prices. This situation is already occurring in Milwaukee, and Sen. Keyeski wants to prevent it from making homes even less affordable for Wisconsinites around the state.

We wrap up the first hour, we take a dive into MAGA radio. Conservative talk show host Joe Giganti has labeled WI GOP Chairman Brian Schimming as “Pontius Schimming.” Giganti claims that Schimming is “crucifying” other Republicans because he isn’t extreme enough.

At the bottom of the hour, we’re happy to welcome Tara Ariano back to the show! She is a prolific television critic known for her previous work on Television Without Pity and current podcast, Extra Hot Great. Today, Tara joins us to talk about some of the best and worst new shows you can watch right now.

Here are some shows recommended by Tara Ariano:

The Righteous Gemstones - This comedy follows the misadventures of a traveling televangelist family. The situations have only gotten crazier as they reach the end of the series.
The Pitt - Watch medical professionals do their best to make the world a better place. Each episode is essentially a shift at an emergency room in Pittsburgh. CAUTION: This show contains significant gore and is not for the faint of heart.
Running Point - Mindy Kaling’s new comedy puts an inexperienced woman in charge of a sports franchise.
Going Dutch - A broken family is forced to mend through a new military assignment.
Good Cop/Bad Cop - This comedic crime show is great for fans of Psych or CSI.
Hacks - This great show about making a show is back for its fourth season!

This Wednesday, Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us via phone to share his perspective on President Trump’s deportations without due process. As more information becomes public, things are looking even worse for the rule of law in our country.

At the bottom of the hour, we talk with some folks from United Wisconsin about fusion voting. Former Republican State Senate Majority Leader Dale Schultz and former Democratic Dane County Sheriff Dave Mahoney come from very different political backgrounds, but they believe that Wisconsinites have more in common than we may realize. Much like ranked choice, fusion voting is a way to raise up less politically extreme candidates.

To kick off our second hour, we welcome TJ Semanchin, Owner and President of Wonderstate Coffee! He and his Viroqua-based business are part of what makes Wisconsin great. Wonderstate has developed relationships with coffee farmers around the world to ensure that they are fairly compensated for the excellent coffee they grow. However, from cutting USAID to implementing nonsensical tariffs, the Trump administration’s actions are causing companies like Wonderstate to either increase prices or shut down entirely. For coffee in particular, low supply has already increased prices before these tariffs.

After answering some listener questions about coffee, Todd asks us What’s Worse: leftovers or throwing out leftovers?

This Milwaukee Day, Civic Media Sports Reporter Mike Clemens joins us to talk about Wisconsin sports. After a rough start against the Yankees, the Brewers are picking up steam. Mike Clemens believes that the pitching is what’s making the difference.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: gas station bathrooms or fast food bathrooms? We take your texts and calls on the matter.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd rounds up the rest of the weekend’s political news and takes your calls. We wrap up the show with a live demonstration of how easy it is to stream Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers on The Roku Channel for free!

This morning, a crew of six women including Gayle King and Katy Perry made their way into space before safely touching back down. Todd watched live, and he gives us a recap.

Happy 414 Day! Dan Shafer, Founder of The Recombobulation Area and Civic Media’s Political Editor, joins us to celebrate Milwaukee.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd takes a break in covering all of Trump’s tariffs to remind us that MAGA merch is made in China. Donald Trump is a fundamentally dishonest man who will do anything for money. Despite all of his anti-China rhetoric, he still does business there. This weekend, Trump also spoke on immigration policy, proposing that all undocumented people should be deported and then given an opportunity to come back “the right way.” Todd has experience working with US immigration policy, and this approach is absolutely divorced from reality.

Tariffs continue to affect every industry around the world, including sex toys. Now, we can’t even afford to go screw ourselves!

We also hear a story of governmental overreach from political orphan and former Congressman Scott Klug. While Elon Musk and DOGE love to exaggerate government waste, it does happen. The solution is to apply common sense, not to indiscriminately cut programs.

At the bottom of the hour, three-time B1G champion and NFL fullback Bradie Ewing returns for an update on all things sports! He and Todd talk about the NCAA basketball championship, the upcoming NFL draft in Green Bay, and the LOVB Volleyball league. We wrap up the hour with Bradie talking about CheeseCon and turkey hunting.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: timidity or temerity? In other words, is it worse to lack confidence or to have too much of it?

BREAKING NEWS: Wisconsin Democratic Chair Ben Wikler has announced that he will not seek reelection this June. He has been enormously successful in this position, and we look forward to seeing where his career leads him in the future. Almost immediately afterward, political strategist Joe Zepecki announced that he will be running for this position.

Towards the end of the show, Todd shares a very frightening video with us. It documents incognito ICE agents allegedly performing a welfare check, but it appears far likelier that it was an attempted kidnapping of an immigrant right before they receive their green card.

President Trump’s flip-flopping on tariffs continues to throw our country and the world into chaos. Small businesses and big box stores alike are already beginning to raise prices or shut their doors. We at The Todd Allbaugh Show are not financial advisors, but if you have the means, we do recommend making any larger planned purchases sooner than later. Stocking up on staples like canned food and toiletries may also be a good idea to get ahead of anticipated price increases.

At the bottom of the hour, Main Street Alliance’s Campaigns Director Shawn Phetteplace joins us to explain the impact of these tariffs on small business owners and consumers alike. Trump is changing his tariff policy nearly daily, causing extreme volatility and destroying the ability for business owners to plan ahead. Even if Trump’s latest 90-day tariff pause sticks, the 10% base increase is enough to potentially bankrupt businesses and cause a recession.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: Taco Bell or Arby’s? We get a ton of responses. Listen in to see what everyone says!

At the bottom of the hour, Todd covers an important topic we haven’t yet been able to touch: the newly-passed GOP spending bill. Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy have been increased and extended, as has the budget for ICE deportations. Many Trump appointees request exorbitant luxuries like warm chocolate cookies on demand or 24/7 bodyguards in secure government buildings. They view the American people as their personal piggy bank.

We wrap up the show on a positive note, showcasing Badger Women’s Hockey Coach Mark Johnson’s new horse ranch for children with mental health struggles.

This Wednesday, one of our callers kicks off the discussion on the Trump administration’s self-inflicted wounds. On CNN, Matt Priest of Footwear Distribution and Retailers of America shared details of just how expensive shoes will be in the coming months. Republican Rand Paul explained on CNBC that Trump has been lying about how our tariffs with Canada actually work. Our country is retaliating against tariffs that have literally never gone into effect.

While discussing this on the air, many outlets broke the news that Trump intends to pause his newest tariffs for 90 days, but only for some countries. He also announced an increase in tariffs on China to 125%. Trump’s unpredictable behavior is far worse for the world economy than tariffs alone.

The weather is always unpredictable in Wisconsin, so Todd asks us What’s Worse: turning on the air or turning on the heat? We take calls and texts on climate control.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd returns to some news. Trump’s latest tariff nonsense is destroying the world economy. Our closest allies are creating new trade agreements excluding America.

This Tuesday, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio returns to gather up the latest news. One of the biggest stories both state- and nationwide is the Trump administration’s immediate revocation of many student visas. Allegedly, these revocations have nothing to do with protest participation or “terrorist” affiliation, leaving only naked racism as the culprit. This same situation is playing out at universities around America.

Big changes are coming in the Civic Media lineup! Stay tuned for more details, but on or around April 23rd, this will be the new schedule:

6-9 - Mornings with Pat Kreitlow, powered by UpNorthNews
9-11 - Matenaer on Air with Jane and Greg
11-2 - Thom Hartman Program
2-4 - Todd Allbaugh Show
4-6 - Maggie Daun Show
6-8 - Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba

This schedule may vary on some stations, so pay attention to your local listings.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd shares a report from Anderson Cooper on the Trump administration’s continued erasure of American history. The latest scandal involves removing Harriet Tubman and references to slavery from the Underground Railroad website, among other dark spots in our country’s past.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: the cold shoulder or a cold shower? We take your texts on whether it stings more to stand under icy water or to be iced out.

After What’s Worse, Todd dives into the news of the weekend. The economy is in absolute freefall due to Donald Trump’s haphazard tariffs. Even many Trump voters are calling out his administration for evaporating their retirement accounts.

The times are a changin’ here at Civic Media! Coming up later this month, The Todd Allbaugh Show is moving to 2-4 pm weekdays for some afternoon delight. Keep listening to Civic Media to hear where the rest of our shows are going.

The Wisconsin Film Festival is in full swing! Last night, Todd attended the premiere of A Road at Night, a new film by John Roach chronicling the tragically beautiful story of Howard Moore, a former UW Basketball player and assistant coach who lost nearly everything in a car accident with a drunk driver a few years ago. It’s also a story of a community coming together to support a beloved family.

Todd kicks off the second hour by reuniting with some old friends. Kari Pink, the Interim Executive Communications Officer at UWM, has been a close friend of Todd’s for over 40 years, and she helped to make this campus visit possible. Today also marks the first time Todd is on air with his old broadcast partner Kevin O’Connor in 30 years! Kevin now serves as the UWM Licensing & Product Development Manager, and he talks about how marketing helps to fund student scholarships.

After talking with Kevin, we reveal the true identity of UWM’s mascot, Pounce the Panther! Well, not really, but we do have an exclusive interview with the man behind the mask.

At the bottom of the hour, we welcome several members of the cast of UWM’s production of Dames at Sea, a campy musical set in the 1930s. Alyna Williams, Abby McBee, and Lucas Drube are all Musical Theatre majors whose performances blew Todd away, inspiring him to bring the show to Milwaukee today.

Today, Todd broadcasts live from UW-Milwaukee for another addition to the What Makes Wisconsin Great tour! UWM too often plays second fiddle to UW-Madison, but it deserves much more credit. Todd is joined by Chancellor Mark Mone, who has served in the role for 11 years and is stepping down this July to shepherd in new leadership. He conveys the importance of UW-Milwaukee as a level one research school and an accessible university for non-traditional students.

We also welcome Kim Litwak, Dean of the College of Health Professions & Sciences to speak on how the University is working to address Wisconsin’s healthcare shortage. Veronica Burns, a current UWM nursing student, also chimes in on why she’s choosing this career path.

At the bottom of the hour, Madison-based filmmaker and renaissance man John Roach joins us to talk about his new documentary film, A Road at Night, that will be screened this Sunday at the Wisconsin Film Festival. A Road at Night follows the tragically beautiful story of Howard Moore, a former UW Basketball player and assistant coach who lost nearly everything in a car accident with a drunk driver a few years ago.

Last night, Wisconsin elected Judge Susan Crawford to become our next state supreme court justice. Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us to give his take on this election and what it means for Wisconsinites. There’s a national narrative that this election was a referendum on Elon Musk meddling in politics, but Trygve doesn’t believe this to be the sole factor that decided the outcome.

At the bottom of the hour, former Republican State Senate Majority Leader Dale Schultz joins Todd and Trygve to talk about the political moment we find ourselves in after yesterday’s election. Schultz believes that Wisconsinites are getting sick of how the Trump administration is mistreating our allies and veterans alike.

In our second hour, Todd delves further into some of the numbers on today’s state supreme court election. Ultimately, everything is looking incredibly close.

We finish up today’s show with new information on the alleged “gang members” who were sent to Salvadoran prisons without due process. The Trump administration has admitted that at least one person was sent to these inhumane prisons erroneously. Even conservative podcaster Joe Rogan is calling out this unacceptable circumvention of justice.

Finally, after two and a half years, Todd has successfully infiltrated the woke den of liberal indoctrination that is Civic Media. Just kidding! Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio joins us this Tuesday, April first to talk about something that isn’t a joke: today’s election for state supreme court and state superintendent.

Lately, Civic Media has been running several political ads endorsing Brad Schimel. While we as a company do not endorse him, we are legally obligated to run all ads submitted by political candidates. Todd breaks down the lies in one of the most egregiously false ads running on our network.

This afternoon, Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez joins us from the road in Green Bay to talk about the state of healthcare in Wisconsin. The UW-System is doing a lot for healthcare workers and retention, but our Republican-led legislature is lagging behind nearly the entire country when it comes to Medicare and Medicaid funding. We are one of two states that hasn’t expanded funding for postpartum Medicaid.

At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Political Editor and Founder of The Recombobulation Area Dan Shafer joins us to expand on tomorrow’s election. Aside from the supreme court and state superintendent races, the ballot has a referendum to amend the Wisconsin constitution. This amendment would require voters to have a photo ID, which is already the law in Wisconsin. Todd walks through his unique personal involvement in Wisconsin voter ID bills, and Dan explains what the motivation for this referendum may be.

Tomorrow, Wisconsin holds its state supreme court election. Today, Judge Susan Crawford joins us on the phone for one last discussion before the people make their choice. At The Todd Allbaugh Show, we encourage everybody to vote regardless of who they’re voting for. However, we believe Judge Crawford has proven herself to be a competent and nonpartisan judge who upholds the law, compared to Brad Schimel’s brazen support of the MAGA agenda.

Todd ends the hour by covering President Trump’s latest claims that he will run for a third term. He isn’t joking, and we go over the groundwork that his administration has been laying to make it happen.

From Thursday's show: Trump's Latest Order Disenfranchises 21 Million Voters (Hour 1)

Today, the Milwaukee Brewers kick off their season in New York against the Yankees. Todd takes some time to celebrate Bob Uecker and the Brew Crew.

On Tuesday, President Trump signed an executive order that could cost approximately 21 million Americans their vote. This order gives Elon Musk access to voter rolls and requires proof of citizenship to vote. A tremendous portion of Americans do not have a current passport. Additionally, military IDs and driver’s licenses don’t count in many states. If somebody has changed their name for any reason and it no longer matches their birth certificate, that doesn’t count either. Todd shares reporting from investigative journalist Greg Palast on what this order may do and why it matters to all of us.

As we head into the weekend, Susan Crawford and Brad Schimel are neck and neck in the April 1st state supreme court race. In a now-deleted post on Twitter/X, Elon Musk said he would be speaking in Wisconsin and giving away $2 million to voters on Sunday. Elon also reiterated his claims that American hero and veteran Mark Kelly is a traitor.

We’ve spent some time this week already talking about “Signalgate,” the fiasco where Pete Hegseth and Michael Waltz added a journalist to a group chat discussing classified military plans. This gross negligence could have put American lives in grave danger. Now, even conservative podcasters are frustrated with the Trump administration. Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, is now calling for Michael Waltz to step down.

Todd then moves on to discuss UW-Madison’s new women’s basketball coach, Robin Pingeton. Unfortunately, her record is one of mediocrity at best. Why is the university spending money to hire a new coach with a losing record? This move indicates an apparent lack of dedication to the women’s basketball program. Alternatively, Pingeton may be the strongest candidate willing to take this position on our struggling team.

It’s Wednesday, and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project is here to break down a flurry of Wisconsin news.

Firstly, UW-Eau Claire Chancellor Jim Schmidt is leaving his position to become the president of James Madison University in Virginia. This is a huge loss for education in our state, and yet another casualty of Jay Rothman’s continued gutting of UW-System.

Next up, Todd and Trygve discuss developments in Pete Hegseth’s Signal chat fiasco. Sharing classified military plans on a non-government app and lying about it is unacceptable. The people involved need to step down or be impeached.

At the bottom of the hour, we return to Wisconsin. Trygve shares some new poll numbers and what they mean for our state supreme court race. The two candidates are neck and neck, but higher turnout is statistically more likely to bring victory for Judge Susan Crawford over former Attorney General Brad Schimel.

After giving out our word for the hour in Civic Media’s Break Into Spring Text To Win Contest, Todd takes your calls on Pete Hegseth’s potential jeopardization of America’s military operations. Using a private company to communicate top secret military plans and accidentally including a journalist in the group chat is unacceptable. However, is this breach in security due to incompetence or intentional betrayal? The answer is likely somewhere in between.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: tip jars or GoFundMe?

Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio is officially sick of Trygve Olson’s age jokes. Henceforth, he shall join us on Tuesdays. (In reality, he now has a meeting that conflicts with our Wednesday show, but Trygve doesn’t need to know that.)

This morning, Dan Bice published a new article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Elon Musk is paying people $25/hr to knock on doors for Brad Schimel, but it seems that he’s not actually making sure they know anything about the candidate or the race.

Todd and Pat wrap up their time together with a recap of the latest excitement in college hockey and basketball tournaments.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd talks us through the latest goof from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Hegseth accidentally added a journalist to a Signal group chat about imminent war plans. No, this is not a joke. The military actions discussed in the chat were carried out shortly thereafter.

Tune in to our network every day for the next two weeks for your chance to win hourly prizes of $100 cash, a visit to Chula Vista Resort, or a pair of club-level Brewers tickets. Each text also enters you to win our grand prize– a brand new Verlo Mattress set! Listen at 7 am, 11 am, 1 pm, and 4 pm for the next two weeks for the keywords to text in. Visit civicmedia.us for more details.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: a sore back or a sore ass? (Also, is it a SORE ass as in a grumpy person or a sore ASS as in posterior?) We take your calls and texts on which pain aches more.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd brings us a story that sounds eerily familiar to today’s political division. In 1950, America was deep in the throes of the Red Scare. Republican Senator Margaret Chase Smith was one of the first to speak out against the horrors of McCarthyism, and her words ring just as true today.

At the very end of the show, Todd brings us a very disturbing and underreported story. Former US Attorney Jessica Aber was found dead. She was known for her work fighting Russian cybercrime and resigned from her position when Donald Trump was inaugurated as President this January. While it is certainly possible that her death is a coincidence, there is a pattern of deaths among Russian journalists and officials who make their dislike of Putin known. The possibility of foul play from the Kremlin here in America is deeply chilling.

Over the weekend, Coach Mark Johnson led the Badgers Women’s Hockey team to their eighth Frozen Four National Championship victory under his leadership, cementing UW Madison as the most decorated hockey program in the country. We take a listen to the words of Coach Johnson, star player Kirsten Simms, and a few excellent calls from the winning plays. In men’s basketball, the Badgers were eliminated from the NCAA tournament in round two, they put up a great fight. Todd spends most of this hour digging into what brings out the best in our state’s college athletes.

We end this hour by addressing some of the serious political news of the day. Vice President JD Vance made an appearance on Fox News in which he derided Denmark, a NATO ally, for not surrendering Greenland to the US. This is absolutely bananas. The leaders of the free world should not be threatening military action against our allies, nor should they demand territory.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: extended warranties or extended family? We take your calls and texts on which one is more annoying.

In breaking political news, Elon Musk’s interference in Wisconsin’s state supreme court election is reaching a new high. He offers $100 to each voter who signs a petition against “activist judges,” effectively attempting to buy votes. Regardless of who you plan to vote for, we advise not signing the petition and taking Musk’s money. If you do, he will have access to your signature and a lot of your private information.

Aaron’s board game of the week is Monkey Palace! This family-friendly game is made out of LEGO bricks. While LEGO have made board games before, they haven’t always been the most fun. This game from 2024 breaks that trend. Each player adds pieces to the palace to try and appease a very picky monkey.

As the WMDX studio in Madison is still being upgraded, Todd joins us live from WRCE in Richland Center. WRCE/WRCO Station Manager Phil Nee hops behind the mic with him to talk about working to preserve the magic of radio in today’s digital world.

While Todd is visiting Richland Center, he has the daunting task of removing a groundhog from his mother’s porch. We take texts and calls on the best way to trap a hog.

At the end of the hour, we share another take from political orphan and former Republican Congressman Scott Klug on election reform in our state.

A ton of people are betting a lot of money on the NCAA tournament. With that in mind, Todd asks us What’s Worse: casinos or the lottery?

At the bottom of the hour, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler returns to the show to update us on the April 1st state supreme court election. There’s a lot at stake next month. As depressing as today’s political climate can be, Wisconsinites need to show up and make our voices heard.

We also welcome Richland Center native Bradie Ewing to go over Todd’s NCAA bracket and tell him how he’s wrong. Bradie and Todd also reflect on the difficult path the Badgers have taken as they determined their seed in the tournament.

Today is the anniversary of the last episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, one of the most influential TV shows of all time. Todd dedicates some time to celebrating this show’s legacy.

As Rush says in the song Freewill, “if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.” Make sure to be a voter on April 1st in our State Supreme Court election.

It’s Wednesday, and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project is here to help sift through the onslaught of news.

As published in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this morning, Brad Schimel continues to spread misinformation about the security of voting in our state. Schimel is complaining about “late-night ballot dumps” in Milwaukee county. However, the reason Milwaukee submits their vote counts late at night is due to Republican legislative obstruction that doesn’t allow them to verify or count votes ahead of election night.

Trygve also brings us some news on how the Trump administration’s tariffs will impact Wisconsin. It turns out that 10% of jobs in our state will be negatively impacted by tariffs. 77% of those 10% of people voted for Donald Trump.

After a short memorial service for Todd’s beloved CBS mug that shattered yesterday, we turn back to a more serious topic. It turns out that Wisconsin has the second worst measles vaccination rate in the country. Our friend Jane Matenaer calls in to the show to remind us how important vaccines are. She also reminds us that vaccines DO NOT cause autism.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: phone companies or cable companies?

Todd begins today’s show by recapping President Trump’s weekend deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador in direct violation of a court order. This morning, Trump posted to his social media platform with a call for impeachment of the federal judge who made this ruling. Unexpectedly, Chief Justice Roberts of the Supreme Court made a statement indirectly rebuking Trump for his circumvention of the justice system.

As many people prepare for a late night of drinking to celebrate Irish heritage, Todd asks us What’s Worse: morning people or night people?

At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media’s Teri Barr joins us to talk about a great St. Patrick’s Day tradition here in Wisconsin! The Shamrock Club of New London have celebrated by transforming the city into New Dublin for over 40 years now. From changing the population sign to Celtic and Irish dance lessons, the entire week of St. Patrick’s Day is fun for the whole family!

As is now the norm, a lot of incredibly important news broke over the weekend. On Saturday, March 15th, the Trump administration directly defied a court order and faced no consequences. Our judicial branch relies on compliance, and the Executive branch simply chose not to comply. Our friend and legal expert Matt Flynn joins us to address this dire situation and what it may mean for the future of our constitutional democracy.

From Thursday's show: On The Supreme Court Debate And Dim Sum Give Some (Hour 1)

Today’s first hour features a hat trick of Dans! First, we are joined in-studio by Dan Shafer, Civic Media’s Political Editor and founder of The Recombobulation Area. He and Todd joined Pat Kreitlow last night to moderate a series of panels on why the April 1st state supreme court race matters to Wisconsinites. Afterwards, candidates Susan Crawford and Brad Schimel debated each other. Todd and Dan discuss the results of the debate and emphasize the importance of this election.

At the bottom of the hour, we move on to our second and third Dan of the day. Milwaukee Chef Dan Jacobs, one half of “the Dans” with Dan Van Rite, joins us to talk about the sixth annual Dim Sum Give Some charitable event! Dim Sum Give Some benefits the Kennedy’s Disease Association, an organization researching a rare neuromuscular disorder similar to ALS. The Dans are hoping to raise $40-45 thousand dollars this year, and you can help out while eating delicious food from over 30 talented chefs from around the country. Visit opentable.com/r/dandan-milwaukee to purchase tickets to this fantastic event.

At the end of the hour, Todd brings us some breaking news. DOGE’s move to fire probationary employees has been determined illegal, and organizations have been directed to re-hire many individuals.

Todd begins our second hour with a breakdown of where exactly our tax dollars go. When it comes down to it, DOGE cuts are doing next to nothing to reduce government spending.

Aaron’s board game of the week is Bob Ross: Art of Chill. Gather paint and supply cards to finish paintings before your opponents do.

Happy Pi Day! We kick off today’s show by enjoying some delicious apple pie baked by Civic Media Producer Sam Davisson. Thanks, Sam!

As we approach yet another government shutdown, Democrats are divided on whether or not to vote in support of a Republican-created Continuing Resolution (CR). Sen. Chuck Schumer supports the CR, but our own Sen. Tammy Baldwin opposes it. Todd explains the details and we take your calls on what you think Democrats should do.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: slivers or papercuts? We take your texts on which gives you the heebie-jeebies.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd talks about Elon Musk’s $25,000 pyramid. DOGE offered 25 grand to all Department of Health and Human Services employees to “voluntarily resign.” They have until the end of the week to decide. Last night, President Trump also eliminated approximately half of the Department of Education.

Yesterday, President Trump demonstrated his inability to drive a car as he attempted to sell Teslas on the White House lawn. In return, he received $100 million from Elon Musk, donated in such a way that Trump can easily use it for personal purposes. Todd and Trygve also talk about some ways the Trump administration continues to violate the Constitution.

At the end of the hour, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio joins us in-studio to talk about an event he will host tonight. In Protecting Justice For All, Pat will be joined by Dan Shafer and Todd to talk about why this April’s state supreme court race matters to all of us.

President Trump’s continued wanton implementation of tariffs pushes us ever-closer to a major economic recession. Todd walks us through Trump’s bizarre rhetoric and actions.

At the bottom of the hour, former Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes joins us to talk about a new project with The Recombobulation Area. This project shares the stories of individuals affected by the Trump administration’s DOGE cuts.

In today’s second hour, Todd takes a ton of your calls on Democratic messaging. A lot of factors led to Trump being elected president, and the path back to normalcy will be tricky.

Yesterday afternoon, there was a massive brush fire in Brookfield. The plume of smoke was so big that it showed up on weather radar. Todd takes some time at the beginning of today’s show to address the damage from this tremendous blaze and commend the first responders who kept it under control.

Amidst reports of alleged emotionally abusive behavior, women’s Badgers basketball head coach Marissa Mosely has stepped down from her position. As she resigned instead of being fired, the reports will not be made public, leading many to believe that there is credence to the allegations.

Over the weekend, Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) spoke in a few cities in Wisconsin. During his speech in Altoona, he asked the crowd about which issues affect them the most. If Democrats want to win more, they should take note from Bernie Sanders and actually ask what’s most important to people.

From Friday's show: Building Unity with Tim Cordon (Hour 1)

Are you looking for ways to get involved and support democracy in Wisconsin? At the top of today’s show, Tim Cordon of Building Unity Wisconsin joins us to talk about how everybody can do something to help. Tomorrow, at the state capitol, Building Unity Wisconsin is starting another leg of their March to Election Day Tour around the state. The organization is nonpartisan, seeking to bring people together in support of common sense rather than party talking points. Visit buildingunitywisconsin.org to learn more.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd talks sports with our friend Bradie Ewing! Both high school and college basketball are heating up as we near the big tournaments.

Mental health is important for everyone, but people often forget that athletes struggle as much as everybody else. The Big Ten Network just put out a piece on Carter Gilmore, a Badgers basketball player who stepped up to share his mental health journey. Greg Stiemsma, another basketball player, wrote an article about how his coaches helped him in and out of practice to work through his struggles.

Aaron’s board game of the week is Katmai: The Bears of Brooks River! The backstory of this game needs some explanation. Every summer in Alaska’s Katmai National Park, bears park themselves on the banks of the Brooks River to gorge themselves on salmon. The park livestreams these bears every day for our enjoyment. Each October, they host Fat Bear Week, a popularity contest where people vote for their favorite enormous pre-hibernation bears. In Katmai, players place their bears along the river to try and catch the most salmon before winter. It is available for purchase at Osprey Publishing.

At the end of today’s show, we share the first in a new series of political editorials from former congressman Scott Klug.

Greg Stiemsma, another basketball player, wrote an article about how his coaches helped him in and out of practice to work through his struggles.

During Tuesday’s presidential address, Representative Al Green (D-TX) shouted in protest and got himself kicked out of the chamber. Todd initially believed that Rep. Green should have followed the decorum rules. However, after hearing new statements from Green yesterday, Todd changed his mind. Listen in for Green’s remarks and Todd’s take.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: butter or margarine? We take a ton of texts and calls with the history of margarine (or oleo) in Wisconsin.

As we finished up the show yesterday, the Marquette University Law School Poll released its latest results. We briefly touched on them, but today, Todd dives deeper. One thing is very clear: Wisconsinites don’t know much about either of the candidates for our state supreme court race on April 1st. Todd’s biggest takeaway is that Americans are sick of political whiplash and are tuning out altogether.

Last night, Vanessa Kjeldsen of WMTV15 News in Madison interviewed Brad Schimel on his campaign for the state supreme court. He echoed statements from Eric Hovde, claiming that people in nursing homes voted fraudulently in 2020. This is, of course, completely false. We take your calls with thoughts on Schimel’s ageist rhetoric.

Nearing the end of the hour, we have a surprise in-person visit from one of the hardest working people at Civic Media: Chad Holmes of WXCO!

Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project sticks around into our second hour today to share some new research from the Lincoln Democracy Institute. He and his colleagues spent the last year interviewing thousands of people from Wisconsin and other swing states to ascertain better ways to connect with everyday Americans both in and out of politics. As Trygve has said before, you will never shame somebody out of their opinion. It may sound simple, but when having a conversation with somebody we don’t agree with, we must listen. If you can’t understand why they believe what they believe, you’ll have a very difficult time convincing them of anything.

As wet snow falls across much of Wisconsin, Todd asks us What’s Worse: slippery roads or slippery people? We take your calls and texts with opinions.

The results of the latest Marquette Law School poll are now available, and Todd shares some of the key results as we close out today’s show.

It’s Wednesday, so our friends Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project are back to discuss the news of the day! They join Todd in recapping last night’s presidential address from Trump. As expected, it was a campaign speech with very little basis in reality. Trump focused on creating clips that will spread like wildfire on social media. He either misspoke or lied about Social Security payments and transgenic mice, which he referred to as “transgender mice.”

Towards the end of the hour, Trygve takes calls with a wide range of political questions from listeners.

Starting today, President Trump’s tariffs have gone into effect on Canada, China and Mexico. US prices on steel have already risen significantly, and even Fox News is reporting that car prices have spiked 25% at many dealerships.

This morning, the House GOP told Republican officials to stop holding in-person town hall meetings after many of them received blowback from their constituents. This coincides with a Truth Social post from President Trump deriding loosely-defined “illegal protests” at college campuses.

It’s Taco Tuesday! This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: homemade tacos or Taco Bell?

To kick off today’s show, Todd clarifies a story from yesterday about the possibility of Social Security payments being interrupted by DOGE cuts. While former Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley is concerned about the future of the program, those who receive payments via direct deposit are the least likely to be affected by these incoming changes. However, new claims and those submitted in paper are predicted to be slowed and interrupted significantly.

Over the weekend, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth released a video. In it, he announced that civilian Department of Defense employees will be required to email their supervisors with five things they accomplished that week. This follows Elon Musk’s push for all federal workers to justify their employment.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers returns for some Tuesday Tangents. He and Todd continue the discussion on Sec. Hegseth’s new orders. These “five bullet point” emails demonstrate a lack of trust and respect for the generals that supervise the DoD. Additionally, the emails will be sent outside of secure DoD servers, creating a new security risk.

Todd begins our second hour with more information on upcoming threats to Social Security. He also addresses President Trump’s executive order designating English as our nation’s official language.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: humid air or dry air? We take calls and texts on whether you’d rather be sitting in a puddle of sweat or suffer from dry skin and bloody noses.

At the bottom of the hour, we jump to one of our favorite topics: monkeys! A French tourist in Phuket, Thailand had his phone stolen by a monkey, who left an amazing selfie video behind.

Last Friday, President Trump and Vice President Vance verbally assaulted Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Russians and MAGA officials alike parroted lies about the Russian-Ukrainian war over the weekend. Precious few GOP representatives took the path of Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), reminding us that Russia was the one to invade Ukraine unprovoked.

Also over the weekend, Elon Musk and his family flew aboard Air Force One without President Trump. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reportedly ordered the Department of Defense to cease all planning and execution of cyberattacks on Russia. The previous Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley now claims that Elon Musk’s DOGE cuts could lead to an “interruption of benefits” for those receiving Social Security payments. We’re not trying to bring you down, but it’s pretty difficult to put a positive spin on the latest news.

At the bottom of the hour, we lighten things up to head into the weekend. Peter Rapine, Managing Editor of eBaum’s World, joins us for a week in review!

BREAKING NEWS: Late this morning, President Trump and Vice President Vance met with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in the White House. Throughout the meeting, our President and Vice President berated and belittled the leader of one of our allies.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: ketchup on steak or ketchup on eggs? As you may expect, our callers and texters have very strong feelings on this. Listen in for the consensus!

The specialty craft store chain Joann is declaring bankruptcy and closing down all of their locations. We take calls on this unfortunate series of events.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd kicks off a new segment: Is It Fake, Or Is It Real? We hear seven potential quotes from new FBI Director Kash Patel and his Deputy, Dan Bongino. Todd and Aaron attempt to determine whether each quote is fake or real.

As the April 1st State Supreme Court election approaches, we are discovering who Brad Schimel really is. He supports using legislation from 1849 to ban abortion in Wisconsin and believes that the January 6th insurrectionists didn’t get fair trials. Don’t believe us? Tune in to hear it from the man himself. We have audio of Schimel saying that he supports keeping the 1849 abortion ban on the books. When you combine this with Schimel’s support for President Trump’s J6 rioter pardons, it is clear that this man shouldn’t be anywhere near the highest court in the state.

In our second hour, Todd takes your calls on Derrick Van Orden and reliable news sources.

At the bottom of the hour, we welcome State Senator Sarah Keyeski to talk about a new Right To Repair bill that she co-authored. As the law stands, manufacturers are allowed to make it difficult or impossible for their customers to repair their own equipment. For example, companies like John Deere may only allow dealerships to use certain tools or diagnostic software, preventing farmers from fixing their tractors when they need them most. Sen. Keyeski’s bill would ensure that parts and documentation are available at a reasonable price for end users.

This Wednesday, Pat Kreitlow is out of town, but Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us from the nation’s capital to cover the news with a touch of sports.

According to a new article from CNN, the Trump administration is restricting which news organizations are allowed to have White House correspondents. Reputable stalwarts like Associated Press will no longer have access to the White House. This move sets a dangerous precedent in American news that even Fox News reporters disagree with. Our country is now one step closer to state-run media.

At the bottom of the hour, we welcome Trygve’s friend Mike Johnson back to the show. Johnson is the Superintendent of the Eau Claire Area Public School District, and he’s here to celebrate Public Schools Week! In Wisconsin, public schools are the cornerstone of our communities.

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by Kelly Meyerhofer, Higher Education Reporter at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. She is here to share her recent reporting on mental health in the Universities of Wisconsin. In 2022, Sarah Shulze was one of several student athletes across the country who died by suicide. Kelly has been keeping up with Shulze’s family and friends and what the UW system has been doing to address this mental health epidemic.

Todd kicks off today’s show with a flurry of headlines spanning from local to international. From violence in Milwaukee to the Trump administration’s revisionism of the Russia-Ukraine war, the world feels like a crazy place right now.

At the bottom of the hour, our friend Luke Mathers brings us another round of Tuesday Tangents! We start by addressing a statement from President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi yesterday proposing legislation that would allow law enforcement to confiscate guns. This sounds exactly like a red flag law. Nearly identical common sense gun reform laws were proposed by the last administration, and Republicans derided them for “taking away people’s guns.”

In the last few minutes, Todd and Luke cover some big rumors floating around in college football.

Today, we welcome our friend Matt Flynn back for another edition of Mondays With Matt! Over the weekend, President Trump’s administration has continued to enact Project 2025. Now, Trump is making moves to politicize the US military by replacing Black and female generals with MAGA loyalists. As a Navy veteran and experienced attorney, Matt has a lot to say about what this means for Americans.

As he always does, Matt lights up the phone lines. He answers your questions about the impact of the Trump administration’s actions on the world.

The “Birkie” is a weeklong celebration surrounding a 50 kilometer cross country ski race, and it draws visitors from all around the world. Joining him to kick off the celebration is Big G, a radio mainstay of the Northwoods. While talking about the attractions, events and food, Todd and Big G come across a family that spans three generations of Birkie celebration.

To kick off today’s second hour, Todd takes several calls with more details on Russia and Putin’s war crimes. By cozying up to dictators like Putin, we are endangering the entire world. While our president lies about Ukraine starting the war, Polish students are learning how to use guns and prepare for potential Russian invasion.

Today, Todd takes on some common household chore pet peeves as he asks What’s Worse: leaving the lights on or leaving dishes in the sink?

It’s Wednesday, so our friends Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project are back to discuss the news of the day!

Last night, Governor Tony Evers delivered his 2025 Wisconsin State Budget Address. While the substance was largely good, Todd wasn’t a fan of the delivery. Pat and Trygve share their takes, and we listen to what you think of Evers and his ability to work for Wisconsin.

Towards the end of the hour, we lean on Trygve’s European expertise to cover some international news. Over the last few days, President Donald Trump has been spreading misinformation on social media about the Russia-Ukraine war.

According to a new article from Dan Bice at Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Elon Musk has already spent at least $670,000 supporting former WI Attorney General Brad Schimel in our state supreme court race. That number is likely to increase in the coming weeks as we near election day on April first. Wisconsin has allowed easy circumvention of campaign donation limits for several years now. However, now that the richest man in the world is putting his thumb on the scale, we are reaching new heights.

At the bottom of the hour, our friend Luke Mathers hops on the show for another round of Tuesday Tangents! He offers his perspective on Elon Musk’s meddling in Wisconsin elections. This $670,000+ ad buy is a drop in the bucket for Musk, but it will make a tremendous difference in this race.

Hour two kicks off with Todd mentioning President's Day, as well as the National Day of Protest, both in Washington and at state capitols. In today's edition of What's Worse we have the debate: PDA or public arguments? After some chatter about the Badger basketball game against Purdue last night, we hear some clips from Michael Steele, as well as David Brooks, about the danger the country faces from Elon Musk and DOGE. Closing out, the discussion turns, on this Day of Protest, we hear a bit of history from Todd, about the use of troops against US citizens - with a case study of stonewall.

Todd, along with fill-in producer Sam, rundown what to look for on the ballot tomorrow for the primary election. They also reflect on the 50th anniversary of SNL, celebrated over the weekend with many cast members from over the years in attendance. Later, we dig a bit deeper into the candidates on the ballot statewide tomorrow, for the office of State Superintendent of Schools: Jill Underly, Jeff Wright, and Brittney Kinser. Wrapping up the first hour, Todd tells a story from his time working in the federal government, about legitimate wasteful spending, much unlike what DOGE has set out to stop.

In hour two, we've got a special Valentine's Day edition of What's Worse: Valentine's Day, or all the other "made up" holidays. Todd and Sam discuss, and also get input from listeners about the day of love. Later, we learn a bit about Sam and his love of history, before jumping into the news that over 1,000 employees of the VA are being fired in the name of efficiency - a move that will be much more harmful than helpful. Closing out the show, Todd and Sam take a look back at February 14th, 1990, the day the famous "Pale Blue Dot" photo of Earth was captured.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: bad breath or bad opinions? Both stink, but the severity makes a difference. We take your calls and texts on which is more likely to ruin a date.

As we near the bottom of the hour, Todd updates us on a new $400m contract between our government and Tesla. Elon Musk, the man ostensibly in charge of rooting out government corruption and unnecessary contracts, is entering a new agreement to provide our country with armored Tesla vehicles. This conflict of interest epitomizes Musk’s blatant opportunism.

The loneliness epidemic has reached new heights as AI chatbot romances are becoming dangerously popular. The simulated perfection of an AI companion can be addicting, making someone less likely to tolerate rejection in real life. Todd brings us some ways to work around this quagmire, mainly through reading literature and philosophy about real human relationships.

Towards the end of the hour, we are honored to welcome Judge Susan Crawford, a candidate for our State Supreme Court race. She shares what she believes to be the most vital issues in this race.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: cashless or cash only? We take your calls on whether it’s better to have lower prices and carry bulky cash or to pay for convenience with credit cards.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd pivots to cover What’s Poppin’ with Robin Vos. This is a bit of an old story, but one that’s still relevant. State Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is still attempting to divert Wisconsin’s $4+ billion budget surplus into Trump-inspired tax cuts for the wealthy.

After an update on expected snowfall through the rest of this week, Todd dives into something concerning all Americans: the price of groceries. Last night at the grocery store, he stocked up on staples and ended up spending about $175. While this isn’t a weekly or even biweekly cost for Todd, it’s quite expensive. How are single parents supposed to afford costs like this? Todd takes your calls on the price of groceries.

Last night, candidates for Wisconsin’s State Superintendent election met for their first and only public forum. Strangely, incumbent Dr. Jill Underly did not show up to answer questions, providing a weak excuse for her absence.

At the bottom of the hour, we hear from our friend and fellow Richland Center native Bradie Ewing! His experience in Badgers and NFL football allowed him to meet people of extremely varied backgrounds, and he shares some of the things he’s learned from this diversity.

We kick off today’s second hour with some audio from Democrats Brian Schiff and Elizabeth Warren about why Elon Musk’s FBI raids and Treasury information breaches matter to the average American. Todd finds it difficult to believe that most Trump voters intended for Elon Musk to get their social security numbers, but Wisconsin’s own Robin Vos says, “hell yeah I voted for this and its [sic] better than I expected.”

At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media’s Political Editor and Founder of The Recombobulation Area Dan Shafer joins us to talk about last-minute NBA trades and his latest political article.

The Trump administration has commanded over a dozen social clubs relating to race and/or gender at West Point Military Academy to shut down. Clubs affected include Society Of Black Engineers, Society Of Women Engineers, language clubs and several others. These clubs must delete all of their assets, and members are now forbidden from meeting in their own free time. As Todd reminds us, students of West Point are some of our best and brightest, and certainly not unqualified “DEI hires.”

It’s Wednesday, and that means a visit from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project! As Todd watches Wisconsinites march down State street in Madison in protest of President Trump and Elon Musk’s actions, Todd asks Pat and Trygve what their thoughts on how people can and should make their voices heard.

Yesterday afternoon, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu met with President Trump in the White House. Trump announced his intent to level and develop the Gaza strip into a new economic powerhouse. This doesn’t line up with Trump’s “America First” campaign promises. Trygve is wondering how Trump voters feel about this foreign aid/invasion. Ultimately, this is a big distraction from Elon Musk’s continued coup of our government’s payment systems.

Yesterday, Todd shared some stories of his time spent in El Salvador. Today, he dives into a less than pleasant part of their history: their prisons. Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele is known for decreasing gang violence by indiscriminately imprisoning suspicious individuals. He and Marco Rubio have made a deal for El Salvador to accept deportees and troublesome US prisoners.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins us for another round of Tuesday Tangents! He and Todd walk through Elon Musk’s heinous takeover and dismantling of key government agencies like USAID.

Over the weekend, Elon Musk and the Trump administration took several actions that may send the entire world into an economic recession. Before diving into that situation, Todd walks us through some of his personal experiences with USAID and the lifelong friends he’s made in Central America.

Elon Musk, an unelected bureaucrat with no security clearance, is strong-arming his way into access to any and all data he wants. He is using this information to unilaterally cut off funding to anybody he doesn’t like. This is wildly unconstitutional, but not unexpected. President Trump has implemented tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China. We take your calls on the effects that these actions will have on the world.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: the Grammys or the Oscars? We take your calls and texts on which awards show you’d rather not sit through.

After that, we fly through some more state news. State Supreme Court Justice Brian Hagedorn is recusing himself from an upcoming hearing on Act 10 due to his work on the original legislation. It is refreshing to see Justice Hagedorn do the right thing here when the highest courts in our land are so mired in controversy.

The great community of Wisconsin Rapids has received an award for their expert snow removal program! Their City Department is actively working to increase efficiency in their snow and ice management strategies while reducing environmental impacts from salt.

Grandpa Allbaugh was a great wrestler, and he used to say that the greatest indicator of manliness is personal responsibility. Donald Trump has absolutely zero personal responsibility, as indicated once again by his behavior this morning.

At the bottom of the hour, we lighten things up as Todd asks What’s Worse: bleu cheese or American cheese? People here in Wisconsin take their cheese very seriously.

Last night, an American Airlines passenger plane crashed into a US Army Black Hawk helicopter. 64 passengers and three soldiers are presumed dead, making this the deadliest plane crash in America since 2001. President Trump spent the majority of his press conference this morning blaming the Biden administration and DEI in the military for this disaster.

We also take a call from fellow Civic Media host Earl Ingram. He shares his thoughts on how Trump managed to secure votes of minorities in our country despite his anti-minority rhetoric.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: seeing someone bite their fingernails or hearing the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard? We take your calls and texts on whether germs or horrible sounds irritate you more.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd updates us on some of the specific programs impacted by Trump’s funding freezes and budget cuts. The US President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a program that has saved tens of millions of lives around the world, has already begun turning people away. While the funding freeze has been rescinded, PEPFAR and other programs deemed “unnecessary” by the Trump administration are still in danger.

Here in Wisconsin, we may soon have a state law banning phones in schools. While electronics undoubtedly have both positive and negative effects on education, making this decision at the state level may put local municipalities in tough positions.

It’s Wednesday, and that means a visit from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project! On April first, Wisconsin will vote to elect a new state supreme court justice. Every day, we discover new reasons why Conservative candidate Brad Schimel is completely unfit to serve our state. At a Republican community event last year, Schimel was caught on a mic calling for another “bloody revolution” to get American freedom back from “the socialists.”

BREAKING NEWS: After widespread chaos across the country, the Trump administration has walked back their federal funding freeze that was issued on Monday. Many of President Trump’s policies and executive orders are sparking negative reactions throughout the country. Todd and Trygve help us focus on what really matters to us here in Wisconsin.

A year or so ago, Joe Gow was fired from his position as Chancellor of UW La Crosse for creating a series of pornographic cooking shows with his wife and adult film stars in his free time. He is now filing a federal lawsuit alleging that his free speech rights were violated. Todd and Aaron keep you abreast of the situation.

President Trump has ordered a freeze on nearly all federal grants and loans with no specified end date. Unsurprisingly, these files contain metadata proving that they originated from authors of Project 2025. Either these Heritage Foundation members are inept at covering their tracks or they simply do not care now that they’re in power.

At the bottom of the hour, we bring Luke Mathers in for another edition of Tuesday Tangents! He and Todd continue the discussion about federal funding freezes. They also cover the removal of security details from former Trump administration members with credible death threats against them.

During our first hour, one of our listeners texted in asking for tips on helping Latino friends and family members, even if they are legal citizens. Todd has experience with immigration to and from Central American countries, and he provides some sound advice. If you “look Latino,” it might be a good idea to start carrying identification like a passport with you. Unfortunately, we may not be far off from a time where citizens are asked to show their papers to law enforcement. Whether or not you are a citizen, you can find information on your rights at micentro.org. Centro Hispano is an organization based in Dane County, but they may be able to help you find a local resource if you are not in that area.

After rounding up the weekend sports news, Todd addresses the overwhelming anxiety many of us feel a week into Trump’s second presidency. Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) summarized the core of the problem at an event this weekend. He emphasizes that seating is very telling at important events like weddings or inaugurations. The placement of billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos in front of President Trump’s cabinet members tells Americans that the average citizen was never intended to be the focus of the incoming administration’s policies.

Over the weekend, President Trump began his mass deportation efforts in Chicago. However, it appears to be more of a show of force than anything else.

Today, we are honored to welcome Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez back to the show! We speak with her about Wednesday’s State of the State address from Governor Evers. She shares more details on how the Governor plans to address mental health in Wisconsin and why it matters. In his speech, Governor Evers also touched on immigration and the ways that national “mass deportation” rhetoric affects us in our state. Todd and Lt. Gov. Rodriguez both have a personal connection to this issue.

At the bottom of the hour, three-time Big 10 champion Bradie Ewing is back for another discussion on sports and positive thinking. In remembering the late Bob Uecker, Todd and Bradie reflect on the incredible impact that good sports broadcasters have on both players and listeners. Many people don’t realize that as sports teams travel, the players, coaches and broadcasters become family.

Yesterday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that CBS 58 in Milwaukee fired weather reporter Sam Kuffel for criticizing Elon Musk on her personal social media. While there may have been a legitimate reason to lay her off, the subsequent silence from CBS 58 speaks volumes. This sets a dangerous precedent very early on in Donald Trump’s presidency. If media companies will fire people in their weather departments for criticizing somebody who isn’t even an elected official, trust in news departments will likely deteriorate even further.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd spends some time talking about what makes Wisconsin great: our sports teams! UW Madison’s basketball team is spending some time volunteering to collect aid for victims of the LA fires. Also, Madison has been voted one of the best college towns in the US. Between iconic architecture, academic excellence and fantastic sports teams, what’s not to love?

This is the first time we’ve heard from them since Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States. So far, Trump has followed through on most of his campaign promises, except those that actually benefit the average American. Pat and Trygve help us to focus on what’s important in the firehose of news during these next four years.

Tonight, tune in to Civic Media at 6:45 pm for our coverage of Governor Evers’s State of the State address, anchored by our very own Todd Allbaugh! He’ll be joined by Pat Kreitlow, Civic Media Political Editor Dan Shafer and several members of our news team for up-to-date information and analysis.

Yesterday, President Donald Trump signed a multitude of executive orders, including a blanket pardon for everybody involved in the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Granting clemency to felons who assaulted police officers is hardly “backing the blue,” but Judge Brad Schimel is all for it. Even Representative Glenn Grothman doesn’t believe that violent offenders from that day should be pardoned.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins us for some Tuesday Tangents to continue discussing the ways MAGA downplays the violence against law enforcement from that day. This pardon demonstrates that Donald Trump really does mean the ridiculous garbage that he says.

Jeff Wright also shares some big news: former State Senate Majority Leader Dale Schultz is endorsing his candidacy. As a respected community figure in our state, Dale believes that Jeff Wright would be an ideal leader for Wisconsin’s public education.

Today, Todd asks us What’s Worse: cilantro or the Kardashians? These two might seem entirely unrelated, but they’re both things people tend to have strong feelings about. We take a lot of calls and texts with your opinions!

When you eat cilantro, does it taste like soap? That’s actually genetic. You can learn more about genetics and contribute to global research through the National Institutes of Health and their All Of Us program at allofus.nih.gov.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd shifts back to national news. Yesterday, we heard some clips from Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing, and today we listen in on Pam Bondi’s Attorney General hearing.

It’s Wednesday, and that means Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio is here! First, they recap last night’s Badgers basketball win and talk about concessions at college sports games.

This morning, Israel and Palestine have finally reached a ceasefire agreement including release of hostages. Todd and Pat celebrate this development, hoping it takes effect as soon as possible.

In Wisconsin news, it looks like Governor Evers may be gearing up for a shot at becoming “Three-Term Tony.” He has also unveiled efforts to establish a new violence prevention office. It seeks to address the root causes of gun violence in our state. Todd and Pat discuss the pros and cons of this approach. While they agree that these problems need attention, Todd thinks the optics are detrimental. He’s concerned that this office will be too easy to paint as “yet another office full of bureaucratic red tape.”

Today, Todd asks us What’s Worse: the 80’s or the 90’s? We take a ton of calls and texts spanning music, politics and more. Listen in for everybody’s memories and to see which decade is worse!

To wrap up today’s show, we listen to some audio from today’s confirmation hearing for Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth. Notably, his Republican supporters are not denying any of the horrifying allegations against Hegseth. Instead, they are simply downplaying them.

After touching on the latest NFL and college basketball news, Todd brings us Sophie Carson’s new article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on H1B visas. Todd spent a lot of time managing H1B applications under former US Congressman Scott Klug. He explains how this program works and the ways it impacts both our state and national economy. Just like other aspects of immigration, this is a complex issue that would take a lot of time and money to unravel. Hundreds of Wisconsin businesses hire employees with H1B visas.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins us for another round of Tuesday Tangents! He and Todd go over what politicians on each side of the aisle are saying about H1B visas. Unfortunately, since immigration is such a polarizing issue, American candidates and elected officials are not inclined to fix it. If they do, neither Republicans nor Democrats can campaign on it.

Today, Todd asks us What’s Worse: fast drivers or slow drivers? We take some very passionate calls debating whether it’s worse to be dangerous or annoying.

To wrap up the show, Todd discusses some of the movies that the Library of Congress added to the National Film Registry. Notably, one of his favorite movies made it onto the list! Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan has provided inspiration for Todd throughout his life, and he shares the reasons why.

From Friday's show: LG Sara Rodriguez On WI’s New Legislature (Hour 2)

We are honored to welcome Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez back to the show! After briefly explaining the latest severe weather declaration from Governor Tony Evers, she explores the makeup of 2025’s new state legislature with us. LG Rodriguez is looking forward to reaching across the aisle to address Wisconsin’s housing affordability crisis this year. She also helps us stay informed on this April’s State Supreme Court election.

From Tuesday's show: Brad Schimel Is Unfit For The WI Supreme Court (Hour 2)

To kick off today’s second hour, Todd delves further into Brad Schimel’s past and why he is unfit to be elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court this April. As it turns out, he’s done a lot more than assert that January 6th insurrectionists are innocent. Regular listener Jo from Madison calls in to remind us of things he did as Attorney General, from excessive spending on merch to unacceptably slow processing of rape kits.

From Thursday's show: On California’s Raging Wildfires (Hour 1)

At the bottom of the hour, Todd pivots to the ongoing catastrophic wildfires in California. If you know anybody who lives in Southern California, reach out and make sure they’re okay! We take a call from LA Tom, one of our regular listeners who lives in the area, on how the tragedy is impacting him.

Todd also brings us an article by Daniel Bice of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on some of the real reasons Brad Schimel wants to be a Justice.

We end today’s show with a clip from the Joe Rogan Experience. Actor Mel Gibson shared some stories about alleged cancer cures. However, the medications he lists are NOT approved or effective for treating cancer. We must be careful not to trap ourselves in information silos.

This Friday, Todd takes another moment to update us on the raging wildfires in California. Our friend LA Tom provides some more information from the ground. If you or someone you know are in the greater Los Angeles area, stay calm and pay attention to the news and your surroundings. If you’re able to donate to help victims of the fires, Time Magazine has a list of reputable charities that can best put your donations to use.

At the bottom of the hour, three-time Big 10 Champion and former NFL fullback Bradie Ewing returns to the show. He gives us his perspective on what the Packers face in the postseason. As an athlete who suffered from severe injuries in the NFL, Bradie has insight into what Jordan Love may be going through.

Todd also asks a fascinating question: if Bradie could pick any four coaches from Wisconsin athletics to immortalize on Mount Rushmore, who would he pick?

At the bottom of the hour, Todd dives into a deeply fascinating story. According to the CDC, Wisconsin ranks among the least fertile states in the US. Northern WI in particular may soon experience a dangerous decrease in population.

Todd also breaks down some noteworthy representatives in the 119th Congress. Some of them fly under the radar, but they may have an outsized effect on our state.

The late, great former President Jimmy Carter’s memorial service was held this morning. We bring you some bits and pieces of the eulogies, as well as a beautiful rendition of John Lennon’s Imagine by Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood.

Modern media has changed the way people ingest information, and Trygve breaks down some ways to combat this.

Todd and Trygve also ask What’s Worse: spicy or bland?

Guest: Trygve Olson

It’s Wednesday, and now that everybody has returned from their holiday vacations, we have our usual guests! Trygve Olson will join us next hour, but Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio is here off the top to help rein in the chaos. After addressing California’s disastrous wildfires, they discuss the first action by Wisconsin’s State Senate: a ballot initiative to require voter ID. Notably, this is already the law of the land in our state.

Todd has a unique perspective on this, as voter suppression is the very issue that pushed him to leave the Republican party. While he isn’t a political consultant, Todd offers some free advice to the Democratic party. He believes that they shouldn’t push against this bill as hard as they are. Ultimately, voter identification isn’t a bad thing. The issue lies in accessibility. If Wisconsinites can easily acquire their ID for free and register to vote, then there is no issue. Meanwhile, if Democrats block this legislation as a whole, it makes it easy to claim that they don’t want to protect against voter fraud. Listen in to hear Todd’s take!

Yesterday, we spoke about the events of January 6, 2021, when insurrectionists stormed the US Capitol in an attempt to stop the presidential election certification. Today, we follow up on bizarre comments from former Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel on The Vicki McKenna Show about that day. Against overwhelming evidence, Schimel claims that the J6 defendants didn’t “get a fair shot.” Schimel intends to run as the conservative candidate this April in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

Todd kicks off the new week with updates on sports and weather. Despite a loss against the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers have clinched a spot in the playoffs. In other news, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has resigned as the leader of the Liberal Party. Countries around the world have been showing their dissatisfaction with incumbent governments by voting them out, and Trudeau appears to expect similar results in Canada.

Today is the fourth anniversary of the insurrection at the US Capitol. While President-elect Donald Trump’s election certification is proceeding smoothly today, we must never forget the tragedy our nation suffered four years ago. Todd shares his thoughts and takes your calls on how we can move on as a unified nation. We also take a look back at our interview with former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn from June about what he saw that day.

Today, we celebrate the lives and legacy of former President Jimmy Carter and State Democratic Majority Leader Tim Cullen, among others.

In remembering Tim Cullen, we bring some audio from our final interview with him from September. His book, Wisconsin Gerrymandering: The Fight For Permanent Fair Maps and Why It Matters is still relevant and available for purchase from Little Creek Press.

Today is a very important day for the US government. As we begin our broadcast, the House of Representatives is holding their election for Speaker of the House. The House cannot legally do business without a speaker, so if they don’t have one by Monday, they will not be able to confirm the 2024 election. From his time working for a congressman, Todd is familiar with the inner workings of these votes, and he helps us understand the chaos. Ultimately, the first vote failed with neither Johnson nor Jeffries securing a majority. Hopefully we don’t have a repeat of the Kevin McCarthy fiasco!

Todd finishes up our first hour with an examination of the Democratic party’s use of language from Senator Brian Schatz. At the end of the day, the party is too focused on using very particular phrases and words. According to Schatz and people like Ben Wikler, regular people get turned off by things like “Latinx” and “Green New Deal.” Todd wholeheartedly agrees.

As if the tragedies of the last week aren’t enough, our country is experiencing a norovirus outbreak. Norovirus is a very dangerous and contagious illness, and Todd walks us through how to prevent it. The biggest takeaway? Don’t forget to wash your hands! Don’t forget to wash your hands! Practice good food hygiene as best you can.

Welcome to our first live show of 2025! Unfortunately, we must begin the year by covering some tragic events from the last two days. First, Todd updates us on a school bus accident in Sussex that resulted in the death of a kindergartener this morning. Not much is publicly known at this time, but Civic Media will keep us all in the loop. Also this morning, the Wisconsin Elections Commission announced that it will be investigating how the city of Madison failed to process nearly 200 absentee ballots in November’s presidential election. Todd agrees that this investigation is an important step in ensuring election integrity in our state.

As you have likely heard, an individual attacked a crowd during New Year’s Eve celebrations in New Orleans. The death toll has reached 15, with dozens more injured. Todd walks us through the known details of this horrific event and how they contrast with a lot of the initial media coverage. While the alleged perpetrator was a US citizen and veteran, Fox News claimed that he was an illegal immigrant and that this only happened because of loose border regulations. If an individual only watches Fox News, their knowledge of this attack is likely completely fabricated.

At the end of the hour, Todd briefly touches on tomorrow’s consequential House Speaker election. If Mike Johnson or any other candidate cannot secure the votes, we may have an unprecedented situation on our hands. The House needs a speaker to operate, and the House must operate in order to certify November’s election.

Happy New Year’s Eve! As we make our way into 2025, enjoy yourself responsibly. If you plan to drink, make a plan to get home safely without driving.

After some discussion on tonight’s upcoming celebrations, Todd shifts to a more serious topic. After what appears to be a triple homicide in New Lisbon, WI, Virgil Thew is considered armed and dangerous. If you know of his whereabouts, do not approach. Instead, please call 911.

According to Axios, President-elect Trump has endorsed Mike Johnson to maintain his position as Speaker of the House. With a margin of one vote, this endorsement may not be enough to avoid the chaos that Kevin McCarthy faced earlier this year.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd is joined by Civic Media’s own Luke Mathers for some Tuesday Tangents! They talk about where New Year’s Eve sits in their holiday rankings and delve into Luke’s sordid bowtie-related past. After that, we ask for Luke’s Packers predictions as we near the end of the NFL season.

Todd kicks off our second hour with tributes to Linda Lavin and Greg Gumble, two other legends who passed away over the last week.

For today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd asks us if we’d rather lose our phones or our keys.

President-elect Trump has not yet taken office, and the MAGA party is already divided on immigration policy. Elon Musk believes that our country needs to bring in highly skilled immigrants to boost our engineering capabilities. Whether or not one agrees with this approach, it flies in the face of Trump’s “America First” mass deportation rhetoric. Vivek Ramaswamy, the Barney Rubble to Elon Musk’s Fred Flintstone, sees this as a cultural issue. According to him, Americans value jocks over valedictorians. However, when considering the actions of the actors, his example of Slater vs Screech from Saved By The Bell doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.

A lot has happened in the past week, and Todd is eager to return to the mic after a few days off. Our friend Matt Flynn returns to the show to share his thoughts on a few of the legendary figures in American history that passed away while we were gone. Today, we celebrate the lives and legacy of former President Jimmy Carter and State Democratic Majority Leader Tim Cullen, among others.

In remembering Tim Cullen, we bring some audio from our final interview with him from September. His book, Wisconsin Gerrymandering: The Fight For Permanent Fair Maps and Why It Matters is still relevant and available for purchase from Little Creek Press.

For today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd asks whether we feel worse on Sunday nights or Monday mornings.

At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Sports Reporter Mike Clemens calls in to prepare us for some Monday Night Football! We get his opinion on quarterback Jordan Love’s bizarre Toyotathon performance jump.

Aaron’s board game of the week is a great last-minute stocking stuffer: Seers Catalog! Take on the role of a seer with limited space to protect the village from werewolves. Each player tries to get rid of almost all of their cards, keeping just the highest value items. Be careful though, as you run the risk of going home empty-handed!

Happy Holidays!

In our last live show before Christmas, Todd catches us up on the news of the weekend. Earlier this morning, the House Ethics Committee released their report on Matt Gaetz and his alleged sexual misconduct. The evidence corroborating these events is horrifying. Nearly as horrifying is the fact that President-elect Donald Trump was aware of the events in this report before nominating Gaetz for Attorney General.

At the bottom of the hour, our friend Bradie Ewing returns to the show to talk about football and holiday celebrations. As a three-time Big 10 champion and a former NFL fullback, his insights into the world of sports continue to be invaluable.

From Wednesday's show: Why We Can’t Just “Move On” From 2020 (Hour 1)

It’s Wednesday, and that means Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio is here! At the beginning of the show, Todd brings us the latest updates on Monday’s shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison. Investigations on the shooter’s family suggest a broken home life, but as Pat reminds us, there are broken homes and strained relationships all around the world. What other countries don’t have is America’s wide access to firearms.

From Thursday's show: Why We Should Expand Badgercare (Hour 1)

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by Shawn Phetteplace, the Campaigns Director of Main Street Alliance! He tells us all about Main Street Alliance and how it differs from other organizations like Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce. While WMC primarily supports larger companies, MSA seeks to prop up a more diverse range of small businesses. They are part of what makes Wisconsin great.

Wisconsin is one of only ten states that haven’t accepted new federal funding to expand Medicaid over the last ten years. One of MSA’s current objectives is to help convince our state government to do the right thing and support Badgercare. This directly hurts small business owners and employees in our state.

We begin today’s show with some breaking news. Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes has been selected as the next Police Chief of Seattle, Washington. According to the mayor of Seattle, the “performance” of Chief Barnes when addressing this week’s tragic Madison shooting played a part in getting him the job.

Last night, the continuing resolution (CR) to keep our government running failed to pass in the House of Representatives. Despite what they may say on social media, Republicans have control of the House and are wholly responsible for this potential government shutdown. This situation is complex, but Todd has an analogy to bring it down where the chickens can get at it.

Barstool Sports is an incredibly successful media company with a focus on college sports and pop culture. One of the secrets to their success is an intentional heavy bias. If somebody only listens to their team’s Barstool Sports channel, they hear a picture of a wonderful team on the path to perfection regardless of actual performance. Political news is divided in much the same way.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins us for a belated round of Tuesday Tangents! He and Todd go over Elon Musk’s incredible return on investment after Trump won this year’s election.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Nearly every single county in Wisconsin is under some sort of Winter weather advisory. Todd updates us on where the biggest storms are headed and what driving conditions are like. Almost all roads around the state are under ice and/or snow, so drive slowly and safely!

Recently, a Dane County circuit judge struck down significant portions of Act 10. However, yesterday afternoon, this decision was put on hold while GOP legislators are working to appeal the case. It’s not over until it’s over, and this ruling is very much up in the air.

In other news, Todd has found himself agreeing with Republicans! This doesn’t happen often, but this time, it has to do with allocation of funds for UW schools. Once again, Jay Rothman and the UW Board of Regents are operating in secret, and it sure looks like they’re choking out our university system.

Today, Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project is in Madison for some meetings, so he joins us in-studio during our second hour! He weighs in as Todd asks What’s Worse: going up stairs or going down stairs? Todd and Trygve also take calls with your political questions about money in politics.

Over the weekend, we discovered that ABC News and George Stephanopolous agreed to settle a lawsuit with Donald Trump for approximately $16 million. With other arguably frivolous lawsuits being leveled against people like pollster Ann Selzer, this capitulation sets a dangerous precedent. Will all legacy media outlets give in to legal pressure and essentially admit to things they didn’t do?

It’s Wednesday, and that means Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio is here! Trygve Olson is actually here in Madison, so he will be joining us in the second hour.

What other countries don’t have is America’s wide access to firearms.

Four years later, Wisconsin’s fake electors are finally beginning to suffer legal consequences for their actions. Yesterday, when asked about these developments, former Governor Tommy Thompson said that we should all move on. This rhetoric lies in stark contrast to the actions of the GOP after losing that election. Is it time to move on, or should those responsible for attempting to steal an election be held accountable? We take your calls with opinions.

Todd rounds out the hour by sharing some great reporting from WORT on the astronomical $51 million that the UW System has been spending on consultants.

Guest: Trygve Olson

Todd has made it back from Seattle a bit earlier than expected. Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project was intending to guest host the show today, but in light of yesterday’s tragic shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, he and Todd are hosting together. As somebody who has lost a child, Trygve has a unique insight on the impact of events like these on families and communities.

Todd begins with a review of the information we know so far before asking the question: when is the right time to have policy discussions after tragic events? Is there even a real chance we can enact change while MAGA Republicans have control of our government?

Todd, Trygve and Dr. Lyerly discuss what we may be able to do to enact change without violence. This complicated issue won’t be solved overnight, but we have to start somewhere.

It’s Wednesday, and that means a visit from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project! Todd reads from an article in Mother Jones about concerning cuts to programs that help child abuse survivors. This is not hypothetical, and it’s having real impact right here in our state. Politicians like Tom Tiffany are putting corporate interests over taking care of abused children in Hayward, and we must remember this next time he’s up for reelection.

After that discussion, Todd and Trygve answer questions from listeners about what may happen under President-elect Trump. Between cabinet picks, mass deportation and terminating constitutional amendments, we will have to wait and see how it all pans out.

The controversy surrounding President-elect Trump’s intentions with Medicare and Social Security continues to escalate. While Trump himself claimed he won’t touch these programs on Meet the Press, others in his party are still stating otherwise.

We have some breaking news! Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul is finally taking action against our state’s slate of false electors from 2020. While other states took action against their false electors promptly, Wisconsin didn’t do anything until June of this year. Even in this new filing, Kaul is not actually charging the electors themselves. What exactly does this new filing do, and why is it happening four years later? Two-time State Democratic Chair, attorney, author and friend Matt Flynn joins us to talk through how this may shake out.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers brings us another fresh edition of Tuesday Tangents! After touching on today’s legal news, he and Todd shift to talk about baseball. Willy Adames is leaving the Milwaukee Brewers, but our coach Pat Murphy has expressed nothing but happiness for the star player.

Luke wraps up the day’s tangents with some wild dog stories from the past few days.

After going through a few of the world’s biggest headlines from the weekend, Todd returns to a call from one of our listeners at the end of the first hour. As we speculate about President-elect Trump’s mass deportation plans, this caller reminds us of an important fact: neither political party has been willing to adequately fund immigration reform for at least the last forty years. Under former Congressman Scott Klug, Todd spent a few years working on immigration issues, so he can confirm that both sides of American politics have been complicit.

We listen to a portion of the interview, in which Trump is preemptively blaming the media for anticipated backlash to his mass deportation plan. As we’ve said before, mass deportation of undocumented people would destroy the agricultural economy both in Wisconsin and nationwide.

Todd is in Richland Center today, so it’s the perfect time to bring the Ewing bros on to talk sports, positivity, family and more! Three-time Big 10 Champion and former NFL player Bradie Ewing has been a regular for some time. He and his brother Brandon are proud to live in Richland Center and do what they can to better the community. As a family so entrenched in sports, they have a unique inside look at why teams like the Badgers and Packers are or aren’t successful.

At the bottom of the hour, Phil Nee and Henry Bray of WRCO call in from the Fiserv Forum as Richland Center’s high school boy’s basketball team prepares to take on Baraboo later today. Giving kids from rural Wisconsin the opportunity to play on the same floor as college and pro athletes is what the WIAA is all about!

Today, Todd broadcasts live from the WRCE studios in Richland Center! Right off the bat, he is joined by his old boss, former Republican State Senate Majority Leader Dale Schultz. After catching up on football and hunting, Dale and Todd return to the ever-important topic of civility in politics. They also reflect on the impact of Scott Walker’s Act 10 on Wisconsin’s social structure and economy.

On the topic of treating each other with respect, Dale recommends the book Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community by Robert Putnam. This examination of American social trends from the year 2000 still rings true today, and it’s worth a read. If you’d rather watch a movie on that topic, Netflix is streaming JOIN OR DIE, a film based on the book and how to apply its lessons.

This week, Peter Rapine joins us an hour early for another week in review! As Managing Editor of eBaum’s World, he is always ready to share the craziest stories of real things that real people have done.

This year, Americans spent a record-breaking $13.3 billion on Cyber Monday. With all these gifts being purchased, Todd asks What’s Worse: the gift you didn’t want or the gift you didn’t get?

After we close up What’s Worse, we have some breaking news. Nineteen students have been arrested for disrupting a meeting of the UW Board of Regents this morning. The students were members of Students for Justice in Palestine, and they continued protesting after being warned by police officers in the area to stop.

In other political news, the government of the Bahamas has denied deportation plans from the Trump transition team. Apparently, the incoming administration is shopping around for countries to send people when their promised “mass deportation” begins.

It’s Wednesday, and that means Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio is here to sift through the week’s news with Todd! Trygve Olson normally joins us, but he has to appear tomorrow instead.

This morning, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare’s parent company was murdered in New York City in what is likely a targeted attack. We will provide updates as they are released. In other disturbing news local to Wisconsin, the Allen Media Group has let go a significant portion of local news staff at stations like WKOW. This is only the latest in a trend of local news operations being downsized and shut down by large corporations.

In other news, Todd received an email from a concerned fan. According to Humans United for Multiple Protuberance Sensitivity (HUMPS), referring to Wednesday as “hump day” is discriminatory toward certain types of camels. Hump day is named for the single-humped dromedary camel, while the two-humped bactrian camel is left out. Listen in to learn more about the plight of the bactrian camel.

It’s Giving Tuesday! Head to civicmedia.us/giving for a list of reputable charities that you can donate to if you have money to spare this holiday season.

Today, we begin by circling back to some important news from Sunday. Ben Wikler, Chairman of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, has announced his candidacy for the Democratic National Committee. Todd believes that Wikler is a great choice for the role. His success in coalition-building is undeniable, and he is focusing on what Todd sees as one of the largest issues for Democrats: communication. The GOP is better at building narratives, and their stories about the Democratic party are the only ones many people hear. Ben Wikler seeks to be more present in the spaces where people are actually listening. Most importantly, he knows how to win.

At the bottom of the hour, our friend Luke Mathers returns for another round of Tuesday Tangents! He shares his thoughts on Ben Wikler’s candidacy. There is no silver bullet for fixing news infrastructure, but Wikler has demonstrated that he knows how to organize at a grassroots level. Will he be able to translate these methods to a national scale? Only time will tell.

At the beginning of our second hour, Civic Media’s Madison staff throw Aaron a surprise on-air birthday party!

For today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd pits two Badger football coaches against each other. Is the team worse under Luke Fickell or Don Morton? We take calls and texts with your thoughts.

Over the weekend, Aaron saw the movie Hot Frosty. In his opinion, while it isn’t without its flaws, it’s a fun holiday film reminiscent of Hallmark movies.

In an unexpected move, Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter yesterday. Todd brings us the facts and shares his perspective.

Breaking news: according to Channel 3000 today, Dane County Judge Jacob Frost has ruled to strike significant portions of Act 10, following up on similar actions earlier this year.

After a recap of Thanksgiving festivities, Todd moves on to cover the rest of this very eventful weekend.

First up in weekend news, President-elect Trump has selected Kash Patel to direct the FBI. Notably, Patel has sworn to dismantle the very organization he has been tapped to lead. He has also expressed a desire to go after “conspirators in the media” who helped to “steal” the 2020 election. Once again, the 2020 election has been proven free and fair beyond a shadow of a doubt. Even Donald Trump’s own staff have expressed serious concerns with Patel holding any position in the FBI.

Also in the news, former WI State Supreme Court Justice David Prosser has passed away at the age of 81. Todd reflects on his complex legacy.

Happy 26th birthday to our producer, Aaron Zommers!

Todd and Trygve return to the discussion on how to help people in your life escape “cognitive dissonance,” or holding multiple incompatible beliefs at the same time.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project join Todd to talk about Thanksgiving traditions. They also provide a roadmap for navigating difficult conversations with your family this holiday season. Political disagreements don’t have to divide your family, but that doesn’t mean you have to stand for verbal abuse or compromise your own beliefs. Trygve’s work around Europe fighting authoritarianism gives him unique experience in guiding people with extreme beliefs back towards reality. The key is to listen and gently point out the contradictions between what they believe in their personal lives and what they advocate for politically. You’re never going to shame someone into changing their mind, but you can help them to discover the truth themselves.

For today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd gives us two different types of unpleasant weather. Is it worse to be outside on a sunny 20 degree day or a rainy 38 degree day?

Rumors are circulating that Elon Musk may buy MSNBC. Will this happen? Would it matter? Todd believes that it is likely a distraction, and he urges us to spend our time thinking about and working on the things that really matter. Take some time this Thanksgiving to breathe and rest.

As we approach Thanksgiving, travel safely when you visit family and friends! Make sure to check the weather and pack appropriate clothing. This weekend will likely bring some very chilly temperatures.

President-elect Donald Trump is now announcing that he plans to impose a 25-35% tariff on Canada, Mexico and China. How do prices go down when prices are increased? The answer: they simply don’t. Historically, tariffs have led to recessions and depressions. If Trump implements these tariffs to any degree, Americans must be prepared for prices on nearly everything to skyrocket. Are Trump and his team trying to affect the economy before entering office, or is this just another outburst from an aging, unstable man?

At the bottom of the hour, our friend Luke Mathers returns for another round of Tuesday Tangents! After finishing the discussion on Trump’s proposed tariffs, Luke and Todd move on to music! Both of them have long been fans of the up-and-coming rapper-singer-songwriter Shaboozey, and he is now celebrating his 19th week at the top of the charts.

When it comes to traffic tickets, Todd can’t catch a break. This weekend, he got a written warning for stopping with his bumper just over the white line at a stop sign.

For today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd asks us whether we prefer our Kleenexes with or without lotion.

The price of eggs is on the rise once again! However, the reason is entirely apolitical. Outbreaks of avian flu have reduced the supply, and demand is unchanged.

As listeners of the show know, Todd is a huge fan of Badgers sports. He recounts the results of this weekend’s games, including a heartbreaking football loss and an inspiring basketball win.

In political news, President-elect Donald Trump’s latest cabinet nomination is unsurprisingly controversial. Dr. Janette Nesheiwat has been chosen to be Trump’s Surgeon General, and this time, the criticism is coming from within the GOP. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Nesheiwat spoke to the efficacy of CDC guidelines, including masks and vaccines. People like Derrick Van Orden are coming out of the woodwork to claim that supporting “the jab” should be disqualifying.

Additionally, Special Counsel Jack Smith announced that he will be dropping his election subversion case in accordance with the US constitution. Legally, the case must be resolved before the president-elect is sworn in, and that is impossible at this point.

From Thursday's show: Don't Be Distracted By The Clown Show (Hour 1)

Well, the clown show continues. Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for the position of Attorney General, all but confirming that the ethics report on him contains damning evidence. Also, according to Punchbowl News, Gaetz’s resignation from congress may only count for the current session that ends in January. He was elected to next year’s congress, and he will likely still be sworn in. Additionally, a police report on Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth was released today with details of sexual assault allegations against him.

However, the antics of Trump’s cabinet nominations are likely a distraction. While Americans are hearing all about sexual misconduct and trans rights, they may be missing the Trump administration’s plans to cut the Affordable Care Act. Many do not realize that the term “Obamacare” refers to the ACA, and that cutting it may put their health– or even their lives– in jeopardy.

From Friday's Show: Jesus Drives A Ferrari with Peter Rapine (Hour 2)

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by the Managing Editor of eBaum’s World, Peter Rapine! Here are the crazy stories he shares of real things that people have done:

Aaron’s board game of the week is Gloom! Using unique transparent plastic cards, each player controls the lives of an eccentric Victorian family. The goal is to inflict the most suffering on your characters before they die a tragic death, and to make good things happen to your opponents’ characters. It’s a sad concept, but the satirical tone makes it a lot of fun.

It’s no secret that public schools are floundering in our state. While many referendums to provide additional funding passed on November 5th, not all did. A school district in Mauston is considering dissolving due to a continued lack of financial support. Meanwhile, Wisconsin still has a $4.6 billion surplus that the joint finance committee refuses to allocate.

Throughout this hour, Todd takes your calls on this continued attack on education and what we can do about it.

Trygve Olson sticks with us for a few extra minutes to address the reality of the situation. He also conveys an important message: you can’t shame people into changing their minds on something.

For today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd asks if you dread doctor visits or loathe dental appointments.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd brings us some positive news for prospective college students in rural Wisconsin. Despite the closure of several two-year UW campuses, the Wisconsin Rural Youth Scholarship Program is designed to help get these students into schools they may not otherwise be able to afford.

It’s Wednesday, and that means a visit from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project! Today marks the first time they’ve talked since election night. They join Todd to talk through the ways news media organizations are responding to intimidation from President-elect Trump and the MAGA wing of the GOP.

As we approach the holidays, Todd and Trygve also explain cognitive dissonance and how it may drive the decisions of Trump voters in our state.

In today’s second hour, we take some of your calls on Trump’s media intimidation tactics.

After that discussion, Todd pivots to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services. RFK Jr. is well known as an antivaxxer and conspiracy theorist with no background in science or government. Putting him in charge of the DHHS could spell disaster for our country, and Todd shares some specific reasons why.

Today, Todd dives deeper into what Donald Trump’s upcoming presidency may mean for the news media. He shares an article from CNN’s Brian Stelter on Morning Joe’s choice to meet with the president-elect. Upon further reflection, they may have had this meeting to avoid the fate of CBS, who have an upcoming transaction in front of the FCC because of grievances from Donald Trump. Brendan Carr, Trump’s nominee for FCC Chairperson and a contributing author of Project 2025, appeared on Fox News to speak about this transaction. Currently, in order to facilitate investigative journalism without fear of retaliation, journalists are protected from being forced to surrender their sources and notes. Carr implied that these protections may be in jeopardy, opening the door for corporations and politicians to seek retribution against any news networks they personally disagree with.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers returns for another round of Tuesday Tangents! He and Todd continue the discussion about the Trump administration’s usage of intimidation against journalists and everyday citizens alike.

Well, the Bears still suck! The Green Bay Packers have now beat them 11 games in a row. The Badgers basketball team also pulled out a strong win on Friday night. Despite the Badgers football loss against Oregon, it was a great weekend overall for Wisconsin sports.

In political news, President-elect Trump has announced another cabinet pick, naming current FCC member Brendan Carr to chair the committee. While less immediately dangerous than picks like Tulsi Gabbard and Matt Gaetz, Carr could still prove to be a controversial nominee due to his participation in Project 2025.

At the bottom of the hour, Reed Galen of The Union joins us for the first time since the last leg of the What Makes Wisconsin Great tour. As that was before the presidential election, he and Todd certainly have a lot to talk about! A lot of factors led to Donald Trump’s victory, and we spend some time breaking down initial observations. Reed also looks to the future and shares his plans for organizations like The Union.

Aaron’s Board Game of the Week is Sushi Roll! Sushi Roll is a fun twist on the popular party card game Sushi Go, but it uses dice instead of cards. Pass around the conveyor belt of sushi as you try to collect complete meals.

Today, Todd shakes up the formula for What’s Worse. Out of the Packers NFC North rivals, which team do our listeners dislike the most? We also listen to a new sketch from Charlie Berens about a Bears fan walking into a Packers bar.

As we roll into the weekend, Todd updates us on upcoming sports games. Between Badger basketball, Badger football and the Packers, there are a lot of big games in the days ahead!

Earlier today on CBS Mornings, Major Garrett reported on President-elect Trump’s pick of RFK Jr. for the Department of Health and Human Services. We share his thoughts with you here. Ultimately, RFK Jr. is yet another wildly unqualified pick for an incredibly important office. The biggest question is whether or not House Republicans will do their due diligence and hold hearings for these candidates.

Donald Trump has proposed a host of dubious cabinet candidates, and it now appears that he is foregoing traditional FBI background checks. We can only speculate which democratic safeguards he will circumvent next.

Today is the second anniversary of The Todd Allbaugh Show! Civic Media has grown immensely since the first day we took to the airwaves, and we’re proud to do our part in the company’s mission.

In other, significantly more depressing news, Matt Gaetz has been nominated to be Trump’s Attorney General. Even if he weren’t an alleged child sex trafficker, Gaetz is not remotely qualified for the position. Even Republicans are speaking out against this clown show pick.

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by Matt Flynn, a two-time chair of the state Democratic committee, an attorney, and a good friend. He gives us his reactions to Trump's latest picks for his cabinet.

Today, Todd takes an unfortunate detour into the holiday season. What’s Worse: putting Christmas decorations up before Halloween, or leaving them up until Valentine’s Day?

We also cover some breaking political news. As of today, both the House and Senate are under Republican control. If Speaker Mike Johnson has control of his caucus, President-elect Trump may have the ability to enact nearly any policy he desires. Well, America messed around, and we’ll soon find out.

We take several of your calls with the biggest questions we can ask right now: What is America’s place in the world under Trump? How can we preserve democracy and fight for what’s right?

The AP reports that President-elect Donald Trump has selected former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee to be our ambassador to Israel.

To take our minds off of politics, Todd shifts to a weird animal story! Two elk are looking for love in all the wrong places around Wisconsin.

If you know of special places or festivals around the state, let us know! Todd is looking for local gems to highlight in the coming year. You can email us at info@civicmedia.us, or reach out directly to our producer at aaron.zommers@civicmedia.us.

To start today’s show, Todd updates us on who Donald Trump will likely be appointing to his cabinet. Many of these individuals have very poor track records, but as Todd says, people messed around and are about to find out the consequences.

Afterwards, Todd shares a story from the Wisconsin Examiner on the role that rural voters played in this election.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers returns for another round of Tuesday Tangents! Todd quizzes him on the history of female politicians in our country, and Luke does very well. He and Todd also share their post-election analysis. Ultimately, snap reactions from political pundits are nearly always incorrect. Be careful about where you get your news, and do your best to pursue the truth, wherever that may lead.

Happy Monday! Todd kicks off the week after the election with some self-reflection on his role in news and politics. We will not get anywhere if we don’t listen to each other and be intentional in our responses.Todd recommends watching last night’s CBS 60 Minutes program, in which reporter Scott Pelley interviewed a businesswoman in a swing state about why she voted for Trump.

Happy Veteran’s Day! We at The Todd Allbaugh Show would like to express a deep gratitude for all those who have served our country. Todd takes some time to cover the latest news for veterans, including a recent marked improvement in homelessness among veterans.

At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Political Editor Dan Shafer joins the show to walk us through his newest article on The Recombobulation Area. The internet is full of reflections on this year’s presidential election, but how many of them are actually useful? As a truly Wisconsin-focused journalist, Dan shares his key takeaways for our state based on the facts of the election.

TGIF! Today, we go a little bit lighter on the politics. If you have time this weekend, go spend some time outdoors. Give yourself a moment to pause and reflect. When you do encounter people you disagree with, try to be curious, not judgmental. If we don’t listen, we won’t learn how we ended up here.

To begin our second hour, we talk about what it really means to tax the rich. Eisenhower taxed income over $3 million at 70%, but what does that number mean when we update it with inflation? The Democratic party needs clearer messaging on this and other issues.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd finally talks about how we can deal with political anxiety.

It’s official: Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States.

Beginning with some powerful words of inspiration from his late grandmother Marge Wallace, Todd walks us through the complex feelings we all have on this historic day.

At the bottom of the hour, Tyler Katzenberger of Politico returns to the show. Today, he and Todd discuss an article he published at the end of October about the possibility of Democrats winning in rural Wisconsin. It turns out that the Democratic party has not, in fact, figured out how to reach rural Americans, as all but one rural county in our state has shifted to the right since 2020.

Each day, the show broadcasts from one city before hosting a meet and greet event in another that evening.

Last night, Donald Trump held a rally in Madison Square Garden, and it was absolutely disturbing on multiple accounts. It was full of racism, radicalization, and allusions to a “little secret” plan to win regardless of election results. The mainstream media is refusing to call out the increasing extremism.

Today, we are joined by Reid Ribble, a former Republican congressman of Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District. Now, Reid Ribble serves on the Wisconsin Advisory Council of Keep Our Republic, a nonpartisan organization dedicated to civic education and protecting our electoral process. While Ribble did not endorse Kamala Harris for President, he also does not endorse Donald Trump, or Tony Weid in his former district. Notably, while he says he disagrees with both presidential candidates, he acknowledges that Donald Trump is indeed worse.

We are joined by Mark Becker, a former Republican elected official who now hosts Rational Revolution on weekends here at Civic Media. Becker interviewed the revered Republican Cowles, and the full conversation will air on Saturday at 2 pm.

After we hear from Mark Becker, our friend and legal expert Matt Flynn calls in to the show! He celebrates the bravery of Sen. Cowles in coming out against his party. As Matt always says, fascism creeps in on little cats’ feet. At this point, the cats are right at our doorstep. Matt takes your calls on all topics as we near the election.

While Todd may be a white guy, it’s still important to consider and elevate the voices of people of color, especially as we draw nearer to the presidential election. We must recognize that America is built on stolen land with slave labor. Yes, this was long ago, but our country is still striving to right these wrongs of the past. Candidates like Donald Trump seek to defund schools that teach the truth about America’s troubled past. In what way does that push our country towards “a more perfect union?”

Over the weekend, CNN’s Jake Tapper compiled the latest campaign rhetoric from both Harris and Trump. The two campaigns could not be more different. Harris has a consistent message about hope for the future and why Trump should not be president again. Meanwhile, Donald Trump wanders through topics, spending 12 minutes talking about Arnold Palmer’s genitalia and 39 minutes swaying to Ave Maria and other tunes.

With Wisconsin’s new fairer maps, down-ballot races are more important than ever in this election. At the bottom of the hour, Todd is joined by Duane Shukoski, a candidate for State Assembly in the 53rd district. Learn more about his campaign at duaneshukoski.com!

We wrap up today’s first hour with a new segment from Jane Matenaer: Local Voices! Civic Media will be presenting interviews with rural Wisconsinites on their perspectives leading up to the election.

Todd’s driver’s license expires on Monday, and he spent this morning waiting in line at the DMV to renew it. Your local DMV is likely busier than ever, due in no small part to increased demand and decreased availability. In some rural communities, they are open as infrequently as once a month! Is this part of a long-running GOP scheme to make it more difficult to acquire a voter ID? We can only speculate.

Yesterday, we mentioned threats of armed militia groups hunting FEMA in parts of North Carolina. Today, Todd brings us an update on that situation. So far, one person who made these threats has been arrested. Ultimately, even if only one person was involved, Todd believes that it still stems from the vile rhetoric by Trump and Vance.

Happy National Cheese Curd Day!

In celebration, Todd picked up some fried cheese curds from the Old Fashioned in Madison. He and Luke Mathers take your texts and calls about where to find the best cheese curds in our state.

For today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd tells us all about the latest product from Bath & Body Works: a candle adorned with what look like KKK hoods. We’re not making this up.

Last week, JD Vance appeared on The Interview with Lulu Garcia-Navarro. When asked if Donald Trump won or lost the 2020 election, he dodged the question for two entire minutes before saying that he would not have certified the results. Is that really who we want in charge of our country? According to Republicans, Democrats, and non-partisan groups, the 2020 election was one of the most free and fair in our nation’s history. It has held up under intense scrutiny for years, and yet people like JD Vance still deny it with zero evidence.

We’ve all heard rumors that FEMA and other disaster aid agencies are absent from areas devastated by hurricanes. Well, that’s now partially true, as FEMA has advised its agents in part of North Carolina to evacuate due to trucks of armed militia “out hunting FEMA.” Donald Trump’s violent rhetoric is unceasing and has a real effect.

In honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we kick off today’s show with a reminder that those of us who aren’t Native Americans are all immigrants. This land has been here long before we were, and it will remain long after. In times of strife and hardship, remember that this will pass. Take some time to “touch grass” and ground yourself in the tranquility of nature.

With that said, the election is only 22 days away, and the race is very close. Donald Trump and his team are intensifying the implied violence in their rhetoric as they lay the groundwork to deny the election. They aren’t fighting to win. They’re fighting to obscure the results and declare victory regardless of how things shake out.

To kick off today’s show, Todd poses an important question: do you trust your local poll workers? Overwhelmingly, it appears that people trust their neighbors to safely and accurately conduct elections. With that local confidence, why are many people doubting the security of elections across the nation? At the bottom of the hour, Todd is joined by two members of the Democracy Defense Project, a bipartisan organization dedicated to rebuilding trust in the American election system. Former Republican State Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and former Democratic Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes may not agree on policy, but they agree that the rule of law must be upheld.

While Harris is under fire for her supposed lack of “traditional” media appearances, Pat believes that her focus on newer media platforms is the path forward.

The MAGA movement has been up in arms about FEMA’s response to current and upcoming hurricanes. However, if you listen to people on the ground, including Republican elected officials, the federal disaster response has been extremely effective. Even further, it is Republicans in congress who voted down additional FEMA funding.

In recent media appearances, the differences between former President Trump and Vice President Harris could not be more stark. Trump relies on demonizing immigrants and threatening violence to Harris supporters. Harris calls for us to bring everybody into the fold.

Last night, Liz Cheney and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at a rally in Ripon, WI, the birthplace of the Republican party. Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project takes a break from his vacation to address Liz Cheney’s incredible message. Just as Cheney said on the stage, the Republican party as we knew it is long gone, and it’s time to put our differences aside in support of democracy.

At the bottom of the hour, Bradie and Brandon Ewing join us to talk Badgers sports! The Badger football team seems to be down on his luck, so Todd pulls out his good luck charm: a #34 Bradie Ewing jersey!

At the top of our second hour, Todd devotes some time to cover an issue spreading across our state: privatization of healthcare centers. Sauk County in particular is in danger of turning over control of their high-rated healthcare center to an extremely low-rated and potentially dangerous private owner. Longtime community organizer George Goehl and Judy Brey of Citizens for the Sauk County Health Care Center call in to speak to the dangers of this pending sale.

After that, our friend and resident legal expert Matt Flynn calls in to talk about huge developments in Jack Smith’s Donald Trump case. Judge Tanya Chutkan has unsealed a large amount of court documents regarding the events of January 6th, 2021. It is becoming harder and harder to deny the overwhelming evidence against Donald Trump’s election denialism and attempted coup.

To wrap up our show, Mandy Kimes returns to share a heartwarming story of political parties coming together over baseball.

After Trygve Olson has to duck out, Todd keeps the discussion rolling on last night’s presidential debate. At one point in the debate, JD Vance spoke inaccurately about the legal Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, and the moderators paused to provide some facts. Vance, upset at the fact check, then continued to speak for so long out of turn that both his and Walz’s microphones were muted. After the debate, Trump supporters have been upset online about this fact check, since the terms of the debate did not include live fact checking. What’s Worse: that JD Vance started these dehumanizing lies about Haitian immigrants, or that MAGA as a whole lose their minds anytime somebody fact checks them? Todd takes your calls.

We wrap up today’s show with some calls discussing the tragic health implications of abortion bans for both potential mothers and babies.

Happy Hump Day! We are joined by our normal Wednesday guests, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to discuss last night’s Vice Presidential debate. The debate was surprisingly cordial, but JD Vance did not defy expectations with his non-answers on difficult topics like abortion and election denialism.

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys returns to the show to update us on what she’s been up to around the state. With WI Republicans electing to gavel out of the legislative session early, Sen. Roys has had extra free time.

Over the weekend, Donald Trump spoke in Prairie du Chien, and unfortunately, it was just as bad as Todd predicted, if not worse. In a disturbing address, Trump explicitly called for a “really violent day” across our nation.

From Tuesday's show: Rebuilding Democracy: Fusion Voting with Dave Palmer

While Todd flies out to California, Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project steps in to guest host! He welcomes Dave Palmer of the Center for Ballot Freedom to talk about the future of the Republican party. On Friday, Liz Cheney spoke at Idea Fest in Madison about starting a new party for conservatives. Currently, America only has room for two major political parties, but what if we could have more choice? Fusion voting is one way to accomplish that goal, and Dave Palmer is an expert. He walks us through the ways in which it differs from ranked choice voting and the impact it could have on America’s political landscape.

At the bottom of the hour, Trygve Olson circles back to Donald Trump’s frantic and nonsensical rhetoric. From claiming abortion “isn’t relevant” to imposing a 200% tariff on John Deere, Trump is truly off his rocker. Trygve walks us through what Trump’s political operatives are likely thinking, and why it doesn’t sell with the majority of Americans.

Todd stops by to say hello before heading out to Los An-ge-les, California! Last night, Todd took some friends to see Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers in theaters! It’s still running through this weekend in theaters around the state, and even a few in Illinois. Head to justabitoutsidethemovie.com to get your tickets. Tomorrow, there will be a special screening at 6:25 in New Berlin, followed by a meet and greet with Jim Gantner, aka Gumby! Tickets are extremely limited, but we give away a few sets this hour.

Todd briefly returns to a recent story from Prairie du Chien. Derrick Van Orden and Tom Tiffany have been spreading lies about “immigrant crime” in Wisconsin in an attempt to turn Prairie du Chien into the next Springfield, Ohio.

After that, Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project takes over for Todd! With only 41 days left before the election, we’re running out of time to encourage our friends and neighbors to vote. Trygve picks up on Todd’s thread about Derrick Van Orden’s lies, taking your calls on the matter.

Trygve then turns to national politics, sharing Trump’s recent statements on lifting sanctions on Russia and Iran. Once again, Donald Trump is completely unfit to serve as our nation’s leader. His willingness to bow down to Putin is but one of his many disqualifying traits.

Today, we continue Civic Media’s “Go For the Green or Gold” statewide text-to-win contest! Keep listening through the end of this week for your chance to win cash, gold jewelry, or tickets to a December game in Green Bay! Civic Media HR Director Jacqueline Rivera is a Louisiana native, so she chimes in to make sure we pronounce “New Orleans” correctly.

Matt Flynn stuck around to provide his thoughts on a new story from votebeat.org regarding accessible voting in Wisconsin. Two towns are being sued for not using electronic voting machines in their elections. While these machines are not required by state law, they are federally mandated to ensure that disabled people can vote.

On the issue of fair elections, Montana had to shut down their electronic absentee voting system after voters discovered that Kamala Harris was not on the ballot.

As always on Wednesday, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project join us to analyze the latest news. As is often the case, the hottest topic of MAGA mouthpieces is illegal immigration. Pat catches us up on the Wisconsin GOP’s efforts to make it illegal for undocumented folks to vote. This is already not legal, and detailed investigations have found all of three individuals that voted illegally in this manner. We’re so glad that our representatives are spending taxpayer dollars on resolving this “rampant” fraud. NOT.

During this discussion, Todd takes a moment to recognize the struggles of Rick Smith, host of The Rick Smith Show. Rick’s wife was recently severely injured in a motorcycle accident, and there is a GoFundMe set up to help the Smith family. If it is within your means, please consider donating.

Afterwards, a caller asks us why so many working-class people are willing to support MAGA and vote against their own interests. From his work abroad fighting autocracy, Trygve Olson has some unique insight on how people buy in to these extreme ideologies.

The latest outrageous MAGA lie may have started in Ohio, but it has made its way to Wisconsin. Derrick Van Orden and Tom Tiffany have worked together to spread rumors about migrants stealing and eating pets in Dane County, but the language in their official correspondence suggests that they know it’s a lie. Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett responded to their letter, debunking this racist myth.

According to reporting by Chris Rickert of WiscNews, Richland County experienced a cyberattack that could have tremendous consequences. This event occurred nearly a year ago, but the county board has remained silent on the issue. The scant information we do have is very concerning, as is the lack of transparency. Todd spoke last night with County Board Chair David Turk, who shared a statement with us. We also share some advice from financial advisors on how to protect your credit.

After wrapping up some loose ends with Matt Flynn, Todd moves on to more news from the weekend. Retired conservative federal judge Thomas Griffith appeared on 60 Minutes yesterday to share once again that the 2020 election was free and fair.According to all evidence, Donald Trump lost the election, and Joe Biden won the election. Griffith and other judges and lawyers found that the infinitesimal number of irregularities would not have made a difference in a single precinct in our country.

Over the weekend, we were flooded by a fire hose of news. From another alleged Trump assassination attempt to unexpected presidential endorsements, Todd catches up in rapid-fire fashion. We’ve all heard Donald Trump’s claims that illegal immigrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating people’s pets. Yesterday, JD Vance admitted that the story was made up. We listen to the words of Republican Ohio Governor DeWine as well as local Springfield business owners on the benefits of these legal Haitian immigrants.

At the bottom of the hour, Matt Flynn joins us for Mondays With Matt! As an attorney, he joins in to talk about another item of news from the weekend: a leaked Supreme Court memo detailing efforts to shield Donald Trump from prosecution.

From Thursday: They’re (Not) Eating Cats And Dogs

Todd keeps the conversation rolling on Tuesday’s presidential debate. Donald Trump demonstrated why he is unfit for office. He had no response on simple topics, no policies, and no plans. He spread harmful misinformation about immigrants, including that Haitian immigrants in Ohio were eating people’s pets. Many officials, including Mike DeWine, the Republican Governor of Ohio, have debunked that story as a complete fabrication. Stories like these might sound goofy, but they have wide-reaching effects. Dehumanizing immigrants leads to discrimination against them. The President of the United States acts as a role model for all its citizens, and a person like Donald Trump implicitly invites the worst behavior our country has to offer.

Then, we switch to a more positive note. From Wednesday: Just A Bit Outside: The World Premiere!

Todd broadcasts live from the Marcus Majestic Cinema in Waukesha for the VIP premiere of Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers! Our friend and contributor Jeff Perry joins Todd to talk baseball. Kelly Kahl and Sean Hanish, producer and director/producer respectively, join Todd and Jeff at the theater to share their excitement around the movie’s release. Kelly and Sean grew up in the Milwaukee area and both experienced the team’s emotional journey to the World Series in 1982, and they can’t wait to share it with the world. We also welcome Paul Jacony-Biery, another producer of the film who isn’t from our state, to talk about how the story appeals to everyone, not just sports fans and Wisconsinites.

Head to justabitoutsidethemovie.com to find out where you can see the new movie.

After another conversation on Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers, Todd shifts back to politics. After Tuesday’s presidential debate, Taylor Swift went to Instagram and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. She encouraged her fans to register to vote regardless of their choice of candidate, and her link generated over 300,000 new voter registrations. Todd discusses “the Swift effect” and how it can encourage all of us to fulfill our civic duty by voting.

On today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd asks us to choose between Donald Trump’s refusal to participate in further debates and the fact that this is actually his fourth presidential campaign.

On today’s show, Todd eats the refrigerator. We round up leftover topics from this hectic week and address them all this afternoon.

Continuing a trend of healthcare privatization in our state, the Sauk County Health Care Center will soon be sold to a private entity. We take a call regarding this concerning turn of events, explaining why it could cause problems for those we love most.

On this Friday, the 13th, our friend Jeff Perry calls in about some strange things that have been happening to him today. Can lilacs bloom in September? Apparently, the answer is yes!

This week, Donald Trump’s comments on cats and dogs have dominated the news. However, their absurdity has distracted from other important content from Tuesday’s presidential debate. Todd shares an overlooked comment from Trump on Harris “putting out” to advance her career. This grossly misogynistic suggestion should not go unnoticed.

In our second hour, Todd keeps the conversation rolling on Tuesday’s presidential debate. Donald Trump demonstrated why he is unfit for office. He had no response on simple topics, no policies, and no plans. He spread harmful misinformation about immigrants, including that Haitian immigrants in Ohio were eating people’s pets. Many officials, including Mike DeWine, the Republican Governor of Ohio, have debunked that story as a complete fabrication. Stories like these might sound goofy, but they have wide-reaching effects. Dehumanizing immigrants leads to discrimination against them. The President of the United States acts as a role model for all its citizens, and a person like Donald Trump implicitly invites the worst behavior our country has to offer.

Speaking of the worst our country has to offer, Laura Loomer is at it again. The Q-anon conspiracy theorist and 9/11 truther has been spouting racist rhetoric so foul that even Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling it out. Additionally, she has been spotted traveling with Donald Trump on his plane, including to a 9/11 memorial event. Bringing a 9/11 denier to such a sacred ceremony is unspeakably tone deaf at best. Loomer’s increasingly prominent place by Trump’s side is further proof that he is replacing all competent and moral members of his staff with sycophants.

Todd wraps up today’s show with a short tribute to the victims of 9/11.

Last night, Todd attended the VIP World Premiere of Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers. It is truly a fantastic piece of filmmaking and storytelling, and even those who aren’t sports fans or Wisconsinites will find themselves tearing up. It premieres in select Marcus Theaters on Friday. Head to justabitoutsidethemovie.com to get tickets!

After discussing the movie, Todd welcomes Trygve Olson, Senior Advisor at The Lincoln Project, to backtrack and talk about Tuesday night’s presidential debate. Yesterday, Trygve retweeted a clip of Donald Trump’s comments on Ukraine, in which he says that he met with Putin after leaving office. This raises a plethora of questions, both legal and moral. Additionally, Trump refused to say anything in support of Ukraine. Trygve implores conservatives to put on their thinking caps. Do we really want a man who bows down to Russia in the Oval Office?

Todd and Trygve also talk about Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris, finishing off with some thoughts on the Green Bay Packers.

Yesterday, we learned that the legendary EGOT James Earl Jones passed away at the age of 93. Much like Todd, Jones was born with a speech impediment. With the help of an English teacher, he worked through his disability and became known for his commanding voice. Todd takes a moment to celebrate his accomplishments.

After reminiscing, we look ahead to tonight’s main event. Civic Media is simulcasting the highly-anticipated ABC Presidential Debate. In preparation, Todd overviews recent behavior and campaign events from former President Donald Trump.

Todd traveled all around the state over the weekend, seeing a surprisingly high number of Trump yard signs. It turns out that the Harris-Walz campaign is experiencing delays in production and distribution of their signs. Additionally, Todd has heard reports of high school students harassing individuals putting up Democratic yard signs. While in Mosinee, Trump himself stated that the mass deportation of illegal immigrants would be “bloody.” The potential for political violence is escalating ever higher.

From Thursday: Standing Up To Trump with Michael Cohen

For Thursday’s second hour, Matt Flynn sticks with us as we continue our interview with former Trump attorney and “fixer” Michael Cohen. After his time as Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Cohen knows more about the former president than almost anybody else. He couldn’t abide Trump’s moral bankruptcy, and speaking out against it has cost him greatly, including prison time. Some MAGA supporters believe that Trump runs his mouth and won’t actually do the things he talks about. However, Michael Cohen’s unique inside view of January 6th and other violent events prove quite the opposite. Donald Trump fully intends to follow through on his threats to strip away American freedoms.

After our interview with Michael Cohen, we take your calls with more questions about Trump and Project 2025.

Interested in hearing more of Michael Cohen’s inside story on Donald Trump? Follow him on Twitter/X @michaelcohen212 and on YouTube @TheMichaelCohenShow. He also hosts the Mea Culpa Podcast, which you can hear anywhere you get your podcasts. You can also get his two books, Disloyal and Revenge, at any major book retailer.

Disloyal: A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump

Last night, former President Donald Trump held a town hall event in La Crosse. Moderated by Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s antics were slightly dialed down from normal, but his responses were still littered with lies and nonsense. From lies about abortion laws to a claim that people eat less bacon because of windmills, Todd breaks down Trump’s statements.

Tonight, Camp Randall hosts the first Badgers football game of the season! Todd brings us his annual season predictions. In past years, he has predicted that the Badgers would go undefeated.

A few days ago, Donald Trump and his campaign team used Arlington National Cemetery for a photo op. At Arlington National Cemetery, only cemetery staff are allowed to take photos in many areas, and they cannot be used for political purposes. Now, according to reporting from AP and a statement from Arlington themselves, we can confirm that Trump and his team were warned that this is illegal. In fact, there was an alleged physical altercation between cemetery staff and Trump’s campaign staff. We welcome Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to discuss Trump’s abuse of these sacred grounds.

After that discussion, we welcome attorney and former State Democratic Party Chair Matt Flynn back to the program. In Texas, State Attorney General Ken Paxton is employing clear voter intimidation and suppression tactics against minorities, including several members of the Latino population. CBS’s Major Garrett interviewed Juan Proaño, the CEO of a Latino voting rights organization from the state. Trygve Olson weighs in on the political ramifications, confirming that this can make a real difference, even in Texas. Matt Flynn provides his legal expertise on the situation.

To finish the hour, Todd, Trygve, and Matt review a new ad from The Lincoln Project depicting a possible future under abortion bans proposed in Project 2025.

Over the weekend, JD Vance was asked about his comments on “childless cat ladies.” It appears that he stands behind these statements, or at the very least, doesn’t regret them. Vance has long doubled down on his claims that those with children are more important than those without. Even if that wasn’t wildly off-base, his comments don’t account for individuals struggling with infertility. JD Vance’s ideas about the role of women in society are weird and dangerous.

A caller piggybacks on the topic of reproductive health to ask Todd a very personal question about abortion. Ultimately, these decisions need to be made by the parent(s), the friends and family they trust, and their doctors. Another caller brings up a pro-life perspective, relying on Donald Trump’s recent push for states to decide abortion policy. This may sound like a good idea to those in the pro-life camp, but Todd details why it doesn’t work in the real world. Ultimately, pregnancy is full of gray areas, and we have already seen that IVF and abortion bans at the state level treat everything as though it is black and white. Even if the life of the mother is an exception to an abortion ban, it is difficult to determine when a woman is close enough to death that the doctor won’t go to jail for performing a procedure. Many women have suffered and died from these awful policies, and we cannot allow it to continue.

Todd wraps up today’s show by covering Donald Trump’s recent photo op at Arlington National Cemetery. Even if he wasn’t known for his disdain of the armed services, using Arlington for campaign events is illegal.

These conditions are also prime for developing severe storms, so keep an eye on your favorite weather service as you make plans over the next week or so.

Dan will continue to edit and write for the popular Wisconsin and Milwaukee political news publication, while also helping shape the voice of Civic Media’s political coverage.

Civic Media is pleased to announce the addition of The Recombobulation Area to its growing Wisconsin media network, the first non-radio acquisition since its founding in 2022.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins us for some Tuesday Tangents. He and Todd share their thoughts on whether Donald Trump will back out of the upcoming presidential debate. They also discuss and refute the MAGA movement’s continued election denialism.

August is nearly over, but the summer heat hasn’t gone anywhere. With heat warnings around the state today, make sure to stay hydrated, and check in on friends and family who don’t have air conditioning!

This hour, Todd updates us on some breaking news in Reedsburg, Wisconsin. A few days ago, Reedsburg High School canceled the first two football games of the season due to player misconduct. Today, Channel 3000 reports that nine individuals including players on the team have been suspended due to allegedly harassing a local Amish community. We take your calls on this abhorrent behavior and what the consequences should be.

Last night, former Republican representative Adam Kinzinger spoke at the Democratic National Convention before Vice President Harris. His speech may be the most important of the entire convention. Todd and Trygve take the whole speech and break it down for us.

We also welcome Reed Galen, former member of The Lincoln Project and close friend of Trygve’s, to share his thoughts on this historic convention. They both weigh in on MAGA media’s attacks on Gus Walz, the son of Tim Walz.

In hour two, Todd and Trygve talk with friend and former colleague Kristin Brey, her meeting with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, being a content creator, rather than press, at the convention, and her interview with VP Harris earlier this year. They take a serious turn as Todd and Trygve discuss right-wing attacks on Tim Walz' son, and also talk generational wealth with a clip from Michelle Obama's speech earlier this week. Closing out, we get Trygve's forecast for what Harris needs to accomplish with her speech tonight, and what it has to mean for undecided voters.

In our second hour, Republican strategist and hockey aficionado Bill McCoshen talks about working across the aisle to get things done. He believes that social media is a major contributor to today’s political hostility. Conversations become too impersonal over the internet, and we fail to see what we have in common with political opponents. Outside of politics, McCoshen is an owner of the Janesville Jets, a local NAHL team! He talks about his passion for hockey and the opportunities he hopes to provide for kids.

At the bottom of the hour, John Nichols of The Nation and The Cap Times returns to the show. He talks about the fascinating developments in political ideology. The Democratic party is experiencing a strong transition as they embrace their base by supporting unions.

At the bottom of the hour, we have a fresh edition of Tuesday Tangents with Luke Mathers! He and Todd take more calls on MAGA deception. The entire far-right platform is based on grabbing power and lying to voters about it.

Today is Wisconsin’s Fall primary election. Make sure to be a voter! Todd talks about the importance of today’s ballot.

Last night, Elon Musk interviewed Donald Trump on Twitter/X Spaces. The event was mired in technical issues, and once it began, it was more of the same lies from Trump. However, there were a few things of note. Trump sounded like he had a lisp, bringing speculation about dentures. He also compared the Time Magazine portrait of Kamala Harris to his wife! Do all women truly look the same to him? Todd tells us what we need to know.

At the bottom of the hour, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Ben Wikler jumps on the show to celebrate the explosion of energy that Kamala Harris has brought to Democratic voters. This is an exciting time for Americans, as we all have the opportunity to make history by electing the first female president. He also emphasizes the importance of voting NO on both referendums tonight.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd gives away some surprise Milwaukee Brewers tickets in anticipation of a huge show later this week. On Thursday, August 15th, Todd will be joined by the creators of Just a Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers, an upcoming documentary on the Brewers’ miraculous run at the World Series. Director/Producer Sean Hanish and Producer Kelly Kahl will tell us all about the movie. You'll also have a chance to win four tickets to a Brewers game AND the movie’s September 13th premiere!

Wrapping up today’s show, Todd returns to politics, highlighting recent complaints from Trump and JD Vance about being called “weird.” Well, if these two weirdos don’t like being insulted, maybe they should stop insulting their political opponents and the “childless cat ladies” of the world.

As the presidential campaign season picks up steam, Donald Trump is becoming angrier by the day. Harris campaign events boast attendance reaching into the thousands and tens of thousands while Trump campaign events appear to stagnate or decline in popularity. Over the weekend, Trump posted on his tiny social media network claiming that Harris used AI to fake images of a warm reception on the tarmac in Detroit. In reality, the image in question was a doctored photo from an entirely different airport. Video and photo evidence both from individuals and from news outlets show multiple angles of Harris’s warm reception in Detroit. In Todd’s opinion, it’s a simple case of jealousy. Trump has enjoyed using his plane as a backdrop for photo ops and can’t accept that his opponent is employing the same technique to greater effect.

Our resident legal expert Matt Flynn returns for another edition of Mondays With Matt! Tomorrow, August 13th, Wisconsin is holding a primary election. While it is incredibly important to vote in all elections, this one has a few ballot initiatives that are even more pressing. The MAGA-controlled state legislature has put two referendums on the ballot that would amend the state constitution and cut the governor out of emergency decision-making. Ultimately, if these amendments pass, our state’s ability to respond rapidly and appropriately to a crisis would be greatly hindered.

Make a plan to be a voter tomorrow and vote NO to both referendums! You can check your voter registration and find your polling place at myvote.wi.gov.

Todd concludes the conversation that bleeds over from the first hour in regards to baloney attacks on the military service of the presumptive Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, Tim Walz with listener reactions through calls and texts.

Then, Luke Mathers joins Todd while producer Aaron Zommers is on a well deserved vacation. Todd and Luke suggest what type of events would be featured at a Wisconsin-exclusive Olympic Games. We take calls and texts from listeners around the state of Wisconsin for ideas, including cribbage, cow-chip tossing, corn detasseling and more!

Peter Rapine of ebaumsworld.com joins the show for his biweekly visit to discuss wacky headlines from around the country, and this week around the world!

The Todd Allbaugh Show kicks off this Friday afternoon with an update from what took place at the so-called "press conference" held by the former President at his Florida residence on Thursday afternoon. Trump spoke for more than an hour and by all accounts, most cable network news stations took most if not all of the grievances aired in Southern Florida, much like in 2016. Todd plays the CNN fact checking report following the remarks and some of the standout remarks from the former President.

Then, Todd gets into the discourse surrounding Republican attacks on the military service record of Minnesota Governor and Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, Tim Walz. Todd shares a clip from the podcaster Tim Miller's conversation with former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger on why the attacks are a bunch of bull.

The Todd Allbaugh show lathers on another round of aloe vera and continues the analysis of the rallies held by VP Kamala Harris and her new running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in Wisconsin and Michigan the day before. Todd plays clips from both Walz and Harris, with a breakdown from VP Harris' response to pro-Palestinian protestors at her Michigan event that Todd believes she handled masterfully.

Then, former President Trump is slated to give a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, in his first press event since the Harris/Walz ticket was solidified. Producer Luke monitors the feed, but most of it is a stump speech and airing of grievances. Todd ends the show with a question, What's Worse? The former President using bone spurs to defer from the Vietnam draft? Or the current attempt by JD Vance to demean the 24 years of military service by Tim Walz. Share your thoughts!

The Todd Allbaugh Show is live from Shawno this afternoon, after covering the events of VP Harris' rally in western Wisconsin on Wednesday. Todd spent a lot of time in the sun covering the event, so he's using his aloe vera and recapping the event for you. From the sizable crowd, to the speeches, and the drama from Republican VP nominee Vance holding a competing event in Eau Claire, Todd has it all. Todd is also joined by Melissa Kaye from WFHR in Wisconsin Rapids to provide her insight from covering the events around western Wisconsin yesterday.

Today, the Kamala Harris campaign is holding an event in Eau Claire, and Todd is on the scene! The excitement in the air is nearly tangible as the scene is set for Vice President Harris to welcome Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to her ticket. Civic Media Northwestern Wisconsin News Bureau Chief James Kelly, Robert Pilot of Native Roots Radio, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio, and John Nichols of The Nation and Cap Times all join Todd in-person to share reactions they’ve been hearing from around the midwest.

For today’s second hour, Todd takes more of your calls exploring Tim Walz’s experience and rhetoric. Even without comparing him to the bizarre and dangerous JD Vance, Walz appears to be a pleasant, knowledgeable, and respectful individual who focuses on what families actually want and need. Across news appearances, public hearings, and videos with his daughter, Walz demonstrates that he is in touch with everyday Americans.

Today, the Harris campaign announced their choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Vice President Harris’s running mate. We are proud to welcome the average Minnesotan who broke the news early last night! Dan Green (@DanGreenMN on Twitter/X), a self-titled “Minnesota hypeman,” was on his way to Chipotle for dinner when he decided to swing by the Governor’s residence. He saw what looked like a detail of Secret Service vehicles. After posting a video online, Green became the first to report that Tim Walz was joining the Harris ticket! Todd has a fantastic conversation with him about Tim Walz, living in Minnesota, and what it’s like to beat mainstream media to the punch.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins us for some more Tuesday Tangents. He and Todd keep the Tim Walz conversation rolling, taking your calls about what this could mean for the election. Todd and Luke believe that Governor Walz’s “normal” Midwestern demeanor will connect with voters, making this an excellent choice by the Harris campaign.

Beginning today’s second hour, Todd takes more of your calls on Derrick Van Orden’s concerning behavior.

As we often say on this show, third party candidates are simply not viable in this November’s presidential election. Even if independents in general stood a chance, the individuals with the strongest campaigns are proving themselves unfit. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is further exposing himself as disconnected from reality. Getting ahead of an exposé in The New Yorker, Kennedy spoke on Roseanne Barr’s podcast about a bizarre prank he pulled a few years ago. Amidst a series of deadly bicycle crashes in New York City, he took time out of his day of falconry and steak dinners to plant a young bear carcass and an old bike near Central Park. Todd expresses his confusion surrounding people who take RFK Jr. seriously.

Independent candidates aside, Former President Donald Trump himself is fumbling on the campaign trail. In a recent rally in Georgia, he spoke out against their incredibly popular Republican governor. These comments defy logic, likely also betraying the advice of Trump’s campaign team. Todd shares his thoughts, as well as those of former Republican Adam Kinzinger.

Happy Monday!

Todd kicks off the show by rounding up the weekend’s news. Most importantly, Vice President Harris has not yet announced her VP candidate pick, but is scheduled to do so tomorrow. The Harris campaign has been very smart with their limited drip of information. It’s designed to keep us all guessing until the last second, building maximum excitement along the way.

If you pay attention to the stock market, you’ve likely seen a lot of concern about the Dow Jones Industrial Average taking a dip. However, Todd believes that these stories are much ado about nothing. Following larger trends, our economy has been on the rise for all of Biden’s presidency. These “clickbait” articles and videos are simply another example of fearmongering for profit.

The battle for Wisconsin’s third congressional district continues, and Derrick Van Orden is not passing up a single opportunity to demonstrate how unfit he is for office. During the RNC in Milwaukee, Van Orden was allegedly assaulted by a protester while making his way through a crowd. She was detained for 15 hours before being released with no charges pressed. Several news organizations fruitlessly reached out to Milwaukee law enforcement for footage of the alleged assault. Thinking outside the box, WISN reached out to Texas law enforcement officials who were on the scene and secured two different angles of bodycam footage, which you can watch on their website. As it turns out, this was just another example of Derrick Van Orden lying and bullying. Todd ties this event to Van Orden’s continual pattern of verbal abuse and bullying of women and children.

From Friday's show:

Even In Historic Negotiations, Biden Is Humble - Todd is back! After a very fruitful medical appointment, he has regained a lot of his hearing and sense of wellbeing. After thanking Pat Kreitlow and Luke Mathers for filling in, Todd jumps into the day’s news. Last night, President Biden secured a historic hostage trade deal with Russia, requiring complex international negotiations. Reportedly, this deal has been in the works since before Biden withdrew from the race, proving that he has the experience and political acumen to get the job done, even though he was ill. We listen to some of Biden’s remarks, in which he emphasizes the roles of other world leaders and families of the hostages over his own.

Have you seen the movie Office Space? At the bottom of the hour, Cracked.com writer Keegan Kelly comes back to share more of his entertainment expertise, with a focus on Peter, the protagonist of the hit movie. Office Space is a satirical take on toxic office culture that has stood the test of time, but one of Kelly’s latest articles on Cracked takes a different stance on Peter’s struggles. Perhaps Peter actually has it a whole lot better than most of us! We also take your calls on whether it’s better to work in an open office or a cubicle.

Wrapping up the show, Kelly shares another article of his about “Frasier sleepers.” No, these aren’t sleeper agents who wake up when hearing Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs. “Frasier sleepers” are a group of people who have curated Kelsey Grammer’s hit TV show to find the best episodes to fall asleep to.

Guest: Keegan Kelly

In Wisconsin’s third congressional district, three Democratic candidates are running against Derrick Van Orden. Van Orden has a horrible track record full of MAGA support and outright bullying of colleagues, women, and children. The Democratic primary is likely coming down to business owner Rebecca Cooke and State Rep. Katrina Shankland. In the past few weeks, the campaigns have been exchanging blows on topics such as “dark money” and voting records. While he is very supportive of Shankland’s legislative history, Todd believes that Cooke is in the right, and that her campaign is only guilty of doing a better job connecting with the people of the third district. At the end of the day, why are these campaigns squabbling when they could be focusing on defeating Derrick Van Orden? Tune in for Todd’s take.

Have you seen the movie Office Space? At the bottom of the hour, Cracked.com writer Keegan Kelly comes back to share more of his entertainment expertise, with a focus on Peter, the protagonist of the hit movie. Office Space is a satirical take on toxic office culture that has stood the test of time, but one of Kelly’s latest articles on Cracked takes a different stance on Peter’s struggles. Perhaps Peter actually has it a whole lot better than most of us! We also take your calls on whether it’s better to work in an open office or a cubicle.

Wrapping up the show, Kelly shares another article of his about “Frasier sleepers.” No, these aren’t sleeper agents who wake up when hearing Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs. “Frasier sleepers” are a group of people who have curated Kelsey Grammer’s hit TV show to find the best episodes to fall asleep to.

Todd is back! After a very fruitful medical appointment, he has regained a lot of his hearing and sense of wellbeing. After thanking Pat Kreitlow and Luke Mathers for filling in, Todd jumps into the day’s news. Last night, President Biden secured a historic hostage trade deal with Russia, requiring complex international negotiations. Reportedly, this deal has been in the works since before Biden withdrew from the race, proving that he has the experience and political acumen to get the job done, even though he was ill. We listen to some of Biden’s remarks, in which he emphasizes the roles of other world leaders and families of the hostages over his own.

BREAKING NEWS: As of a virtual DNC roll call this afternoon, Kamala Harris has officially gained enough delegates to secure the Democratic nomination for President. Todd briefly explains this process. Civic Media News will continue to cover this development.

At the bottom of the hour, we welcome Bradie Ewing back to bring some positivity before the weekend.

As Todd has the day off, Luke continues to host for today’s second hour. He is joined by Richard Trent, Executive Director of Main Street Alliance! His organization focuses on helping small businesses survive in America’s monopolistic corporate landscape. They work with businesses both on an individual basis and on a national scale. Richard and Luke talk about how helping small businesses survive helps all of us out, and how it doesn’t have to be political.

Main Street Alliance is hosting a webinar on Monday, August 26th on some national issues that affect all business owners. Sign up for Getting Up To Speed: Small Business is On the Ballot at tinyurl.com/smallbusinessballot to learn more.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke catches us up to speed on the new food items offered at this year’s Wisconsin State Fair! There are 100 new eats to try. Pickle lovers are in for a treat, with several pickle-focused snacks and drinks.

Todd has the day off, so our friend Luke Mathers has stepped in to host today’s show! After a brief tangent on this year’s Summer Olympics, he covers the latest political news. Yesterday, former President Donald Trump attended a conference with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ). Ultimately, they asked fair questions, and Trump refused to answer them directly. The event ended early as soon as Project 2025 was mentioned. Luke provides his perspective.

At the bottom of the hour, Nick Ramos returns to the show! As the Executive Director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, he has his finger on the pulse of politics. Also, as a Black man, he has a lot to say about Trump’s remarks at yesterday’s NABJ conference. Donald Trump now claims that Kamala Harris used to be Indian and has now “turned black.” Nick Ramos contends that either the former President is gaslighting, having memory issues, or both.

Afterward, Nick and Luke talk about Wisconsin’s upcoming primary election on Tuesday, August 13th. Early in-person voting has already begun! Visit myvote.wi.gov or civicmedia.us/vote to make your plan to be a voter. Nick tells us all about what’s on the ballot and why it’s important to vote NO to both constitutional referendums.

Happy Hump Day!

Todd has the day off, so Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio is our host for today’s show. He takes this hour to compare recent campaign ads and events from various local and national candidates.

Here in Wisconsin, Andre Jacque is running in our 8th Congressional District, and his campaign just released a new advertisement. In this ad, Jacque is depicted as a heavyweight boxer, but really, it just makes him look even more weird than he already did.

Kamala Harris’s campaign continues to pick up steam. She addresses issues that affect all Americans. Meanwhile, Donald Trump compares himself to Elvis and can’t distance himself enough from Project 2025, despite his past endorsement. He and his running mate JD Vance insult Harris at their own rallies, but refuse to debate her. She has responded with a classic line: “if you have something to say, say it to my face.”

As we all know, Todd is a huge fan of Secretary Pete Buttigieg and believes that he would make an excellent Vice President. After talking with Luke Mathers last hour and reading some of your texts, Todd clarifies his position on who Kamala Harris may pick for VP. In short, while Buttigieg is a dark horse pick, the far more likely candidates are Josh Shapiro, Mark Kelly, and Tim Walz. Todd covers the pros and cons of each.

At the bottom of the hour, Todd shares a message from sci-fi writer and founder of the American Liberal Party Kevin Gaughen. As Americans, we need to focus on the bigger picture for this election and stop picking fights about small issues. Democracy is on the ballot, and even if we disagree about most policy issues, anybody willing to vote for Kamala Harris is our ally.

Finally, Todd is excited to share a new offering from Culver’s! For a limited time only, Culver’s is teaming up with JJ Watt for their first celebrity signature meal! From August 5th to September 29th, you can order the JJ’s Way Meal, complete with a Culver’s Deluxe, cheese curds, root beer, and a turtle sundae. The best part is that Culver’s is donating one dollar per meal sold to the JJ Watt Foundation. This sounds like an advertisement, but really, Todd is just happy that such iconic Wisconsin brands and athletes are working together to raise money for charity.

The election season is just heating up, and MAGA is only getting weirder. Todd shares some audio from recent TV appearances with us. First, we go over Donald Trump’s recent speeches and an interview on Fox News. He is making a call to Christians, claiming that they will never have to vote again after this election because “it will all be fixed.” The autocratic signaling could not be clearer. Also of note are Trump’s uncertainty about whether or not his wife loves him and his statement that he is not a Christian.

Afterward, we pivot to a clip of Secretary Pete Buttigieg on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. In a succinct and relatable manner, Buttigieg addresses J.D. Vance’s claims that Americans without biological children “have no physical stake” in our country’s future. Buttigieg served in our military in active war zones overseas, which brings a whole new level to physical commitment.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins in for some Tuesday Tangents. He and Todd take your calls on the strange and dangerous ideas of Project 2025 before touching on Jordan Love’s new contract.

In the previous hour, Todd discussed the differences between seeking asylum and “insane asylums.” This hour, we continue the discussion on the deeply flawed American immigration system. Todd takes your calls on undocumented people in our country and what we can do to appropriately address problems at the border. When it comes down to it, neither political party has been historically willing to dedicate the time, energy, and massive amounts of money necessary to solve our immigration system. Any simple blanket solutions are woefully inadequate and likely to cause more harm than good.

Over the last few days, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has been making the rounds on news outlets. Between CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and others, he’s laid down the facts in a firm and respectful manner. Secretary Buttigieg has been a champion of Vice President Harris’s achievements, simultaneously playing up just how strange MAGA Republicans are. Todd breaks down the new emphasis on weirdness in Democratic messaging with a focus on Secretary Pete.

If you’ve heard any of Donald Trump’s speeches lately, you’ve likely heard him ramble about “the late, great Hannibal Lecter,” a fictional serial killer and cannibal from the movie The Silence of the Lambs. Trump refers to Lecter at least once per speech as of late, accompanied by an admission that people don’t like when he does it. Todd has a hypothesis on why Trump has this obsession. Does Donald Trump recognize that asylum seekers have nothing to do with “insane asylums?” Todd doesn’t believe so.

From Wednesday - On Truly Listening To Each Other with Trygve Olson

As he travels across the state for business, our friend Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project stops by in-studio. After a brief discussion on the greatness of Wisconsin cheese, he and Todd take your calls as they navigate the complex social environment of today’s political discourse. As we’ve said many times before, we have more in common than we often realize, no matter one’s race, religion, or political affiliation. The world is a better place when we consider that everybody has their own unique set of experiences and choose to have honest discussions about them. Topics covered by Todd, Trygve, and callers this hour include abortion, fear as a political tool, small-town Wisconsin values, immigration, and so much more.

After giving away some Milwaukee Brewers tickets, we take your calls on Todd’s personal Vice Presidential pick of Pete Buttigieg.

At the bottom of the hour, eBaum’s World Managing Editor Peter Rapine returns for another week in review! We kick off with a lovely story about a man and his couch.

Breaking news: Donald Trump has pulled out of the debate! This September, a presidential debate was scheduled, but Trump has elected not to participate. We bring Pete Buttigieg’s remarks from MSNBC on this decision. We believe that Buttigieg nailed it on the head. Trump is afraid to face an experienced prosecutor like Kamala Harris. Additionally, the Harris campaign operates on a completely different axis than Trump’s. Her efforts are message-oriented rather than personality-oriented. According to Secretary Buttigieg, Trump is only capable of focusing on himself, while Vice President Harris seeks to benefit everyday Americans.

Despite a full table of budget and policy proposals to negotiate, the House of Representatives is taking a recess. Leah Vredenbregt of Gray Television in Washington DC interviewed several representatives on both sides of the aisle about how this recess may impact the continued functioning of our government. Wisconsin Republican Derrick Van Orden’s response has done nothing to reduce his reputation as a misogynistic bully. In a condescending tone, he said that he was fine with taking a recess, claiming erroneously that it would not impact proceedings. We play his response, comparing it with those of Tim Burchett, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Steven Horsford. We can clearly see that Van Orden is even less reasonable than Marjorie Taylor Greene. DVO has got to go.

To kick off our second hour, we share a recent speech from J.D. Vance. Years ago, he had suggested that parents of biological children receive more voting power because they “have more stake” in our country’s future. In the last few days, he has doubled down on this stance, which echoes past policies like the three-fifths compromise. This discriminatory practice would imply that people with biological children are more important, with no regard for adoption, fertility struggles, stepchildren, people waiting to have kids, or simply those who don’t want to raise children. We take your calls on this ridiculous idea.

Lately, we’ve been seeing an influx of memes about Kamala Harris. What exactly is “brat,” and what does it have to do with coconut trees? As our resident Gen Z representative, Aaron explains where this support for Kamala has come from and what it means. Our friend Jane Matenaer of Matenaer On Air also calls in to talk about memes!

To begin today’s show, we recap President Biden’s Oval Office address from last night. It was essentially his formal withdrawal from the race. He also expressed gratitude for the support he has received over his political career, calling Americans to action to continually support democracy.

Todd reviews Joe Biden’s political legacy, highlighting a moment from 2012 when the then-Vice President broke from Obama’s position to support marriage equality. This clip is a perfect example of Joe Biden’s willingness to own up to mistakes and grow as a human being. In part, we have Biden to thank for the marriage equality rights we enjoy today. We take some emotional calls on the topic. Our very own Chad Holmes, host of The Chad Holmes Show on WXCO Bull Falls Radio in Wausau, calls in to share his thoughts.

Kamala Harris has released her first campaign ad, and it’s appropriately energetic. We play it for you and explain our thoughts.

Welcome back, Todd! Today, our host returns to the Civic Media world headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin after two weeks on the road. After yesterday’s discussion on Kamala Harris and her campaign, Todd has many more thoughts to share.

In other news this morning, Kimberly Cheatle, Director of the Secret Service, has stepped down. In the wake of the shooting at a recent Trump rally, the Secret Service has been heavily criticized for its response. As a result, Deputy Director Ronald L. Rowe, Jr. is stepping up as Director.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins us for some Tuesday Tangents! It’s been two weeks since he and Todd have seen each other, but it feels as though it’s been a year. Between the attempt on Donald Trump’s life, his pick of JD Vance as Vice Presidential candidate, and Joe Biden dropping out of the race, much has happened. Todd and Luke catch up on the news and celebrate the accomplishments of President Biden.

We listen to the late John McCain’s remarks about his then-opponent Barack Obama, as well as Obama’s remarks about McCain at his funeral. These reverent and respectful comments could not be farther from the toxic political environment of today. Matt Flynn also weighs in on the different options Kamala Harris has for a running mate, and takes your calls on a myriad of topics.

At the end of today’s show, WRCE and WRCO’s Phil Nee joins Todd to talk about the crazy times we live in. He and Todd also reflect on all the years they’ve spent working in broadcasting.

Yesterday, President Joe Biden stepped down from his campaign amidst calls to withdraw. He endorsed Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate. This afternoon, Todd invites former Wisconsin State Senate Majority Leader Dale Schultz and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to weigh in on these developments. Ultimately, Joe Biden did the noble thing and put the country before himself. Todd, Dale, and Trygve liken it to taking car keys away from an aging relative. It’s never an easy conversation, but it’s one that must happen. The trio takes your calls on the weekend’s news.

Following some disturbing news on Donald Trump’s classified documents case, we bring on our friend and legal expert Matt Flynn to explain what’s happening. Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon has thrown out the classified documents case on a technicality, and while this is likely to be appealed, it is still a concerning setback for the Department of Justice.

Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project is also in town for this week’s events. He and Todd discuss how this year’s RNC differs from those of the past, especially after Saturday’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

Political violence is unacceptable from any party or individual. It goes against the tenets of democracy. Here at Civic Media and on The Todd Allbaugh Show, we believe that change should come through words rather than violence. To make our voices heard, we must use ballots, not bullets.

At the bottom of the hour, former US Congressman Scott Klug joins us to talk about his podcast, Lost in the Middle.

From “farting on that thang” to hiring a content creator to let a friend know you slept with their sister, truth is stranger than fiction. Also, yet another man has been caught smuggling hamsters in his pants.

After that discussion, Aaron Carreno returns with some delicious deep-fried fair food for Todd to try!

To round out today’s show, Pat, Todd, and Trygve continue their political discussion, including predictions on who will be Trump’s Vice Presidential pick.

Today is the second day of our second What Makes Wisconsin Great tour with Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project! During yesterday’s show, we asked listeners where Todd should broadcast from today. We had a free and fair election, and we heard you loud and clear. Todd pulled it off, and today, he comes to us live from the Dells Army Ducks!

Our crack staff actually found a fully operational duck boat for sale online. For the low price of $95,000, you could have your very own duck!

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins us for some Tuesday Tangents! He and Todd discuss some of their favorite Wisconsin Dells memories before welcoming Dells Duck Driver Jack Field! Listen in to learn what it’s like to pilot one of these iconic WWII amphibious vehicles.

Mondays with Matt: The American Monarchy

This morning, the Supreme Court released a few decisions. Among them is Donald Trump’s presidential immunity case. The Justices have ruled that the office of president does include limited immunity for official actions. However, they did not address the full extent of this immunity and did not apply it to the former president’s actions. Where does this leave the American people?

To address the legal concerns arising from this contentious opinion, attorney Matt Flynn returns for another Monday with Matt! Ultimately, the Supreme Court is becoming more blatantly corrupt by the day, and this new decision puts democracy in dangerous territory. The dissenting opinion from Justice Sotomayor confirms the severity of the situation and the precedent that it sets. Matt takes your calls with questions on the legal fallout.

Guest: Matt Flynn

In today’s second hour, Todd addresses the second elephant in the room. Allegedly, Donald Trump sexually assaulted and raped a 13-year-old girl who looked like his daughter, Ivanka, who was also 13 at the time. The victim dropped her case in 2016 just days before the election after being threatened with death. This is connected with Trump’s alleged association with Jeffrey Epstein, and multiple appearances on his flight and call logs, as well as audio and video recordings. While this information isn’t pleasant to hear, the American people deserve to know what may have happened.

To lighten (or lightning?) things up, Todd shares some tips to stay safe from lightning this summer. Stay away from water and trees during thunderstorms! Head for a metal-roofed vehicle or a sturdy building to avoid being struck.

For July 4th, Aaron shares a firework-themed card game. In Hanabi, play your cards in order to create the perfect firework display! There’s just one twist: you can’t look at your own cards, and have to rely on hints from other players.

Today is a national holiday: Pat Kreitlow’s birthday! Civic Media News Director Terry Bell joins us to celebrate. After that, Todd and Pat reflect on some news from the MAGA movement. Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation, is now openly calling for violence. When reacting to the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision, he claimed that “we are in the process of the second American revolution, which will remain bloodless… if the left allows it to be.”

At the bottom of the hour, Todd addresses one of the elephants in the room. He and Trygve Olson often sing the praises of former Republican Governor Tommy Thompson, characterizing him as a cheerleader for Wisconsin. While he did fill that role, unfortunately, he has now chosen the side of Trump and Trumpism. Todd reflects on what it is that causes people to take this reprehensible stance.

In today’s second hour, Todd takes some calls about the future of the Biden campaign. Afterwards, we share a new video from The Lincoln Project that compiles debate reactions from several of their experts. Ultimately, when it comes down to it, Presidential elections are never decided in June. Also, one poor performance from Joe Biden does not change the fact that Donald Trump is completely unfit for the position.

Today’s show ends with a celebration of everything that can go wrong on the Fourth of July! We share some stories of mishaps with fireworks and take calls with your experiences. Remember, do NOT make your own fireworks! As fun as they are, they’re still explosives, and we all need to prioritize safety with our holiday celebrations.

Happy July 2nd! Nearly 250 years ago, this was almost the day that the United States declared independence from Great Britain. Todd catches us up on some history before inviting Luke Mathers for some Tuesday Tangents! The latest opinions from the Supreme Court are threatening our nation’s history of compromise, but we can’t give up. As Luke reminds us, we the people are ultimately the owners of our government.

Guest: Luke Mathers

Over the weekend, we have seen more political analysts respond to Thursday’s CNN Presidential Debate. Todd consolidates some of this feedback to address concerns over whether or not Biden is fit for office. From his experience in politics, Todd believes that Joe Biden is truly our best chance to retain the democratic foundation of our country, and that to switch candidates would be foolish. While his debate performance was poor at best, President Biden’s track record speaks for itself. He is an experienced politician and considerate man who surrounds himself with competent professionals to get the job done. Donald Trump, on the other hand, is a failed businessman, sexual predator, and pathological liar with little to no knowledge of law or politics who surrounds himself with sycophants and does the first thing that comes to mind. Especially in light of the recent power grab by the conservative Supreme Court Justices, the choice could not be more clear. Hold your nose if you have to, but we must vote for Joe Biden to preserve our right to vote again in the future.

We wrap up today’s show with audio from a recent hearing on electric vehicles. Pete Buttigieg was questioned on the success, efficiency, and so-called “mandate” of EVs, and he dispelled all rumors.

During our first hour, President Biden wrapped up a rally in North Carolina. We play some audio from his speech and take more calls on last night’s debate.

At the bottom of the hour, we welcome Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Data Journalist Andrew Hahn! He just wrote an article for the Journal Sentinel that maps out the reach of Wisconsin brands like Kwik Trip or Culver’s across our state.

Last night’s presidential debate was a doozy! There’s no sugarcoating it: Biden had a rough night. However, just like in athletics, one poor performance does not end a career. The Democratic response has been extremely weak and pessimistic, and Todd speaks out against it. We also take some of your calls on the debate.

At the bottom of the hour, Bradie Ewing comes to bring some positivity to our weekend. As a former Badger and NFL fullback, he knows a lot about what it takes to succeed. Having spent a lot of his NFL career injured, he also has a lot of experience overcoming disappointment and adversity. Bradie shares some of his encouraging wisdom with us.

Yesterday, we played some audio of “OC” Eric Hovde on Juneteenth, claiming that he knows “Black culture” because he’s spent time in Africa helping homeless shelters and getting kids off the streets. After being confronted about this befuddling statement, Hovde himself appeared briefly confused before doubling down on his claims. He says that he has donated significant amounts of money to Black schools and charities that help people of color. Essentially, he’s gone from saying “I understand Black people because I’ve been to Africa” to saying “I understand Black people because I’ve written a few checks to them.” Is that really any better?

Todd also updates us on how exactly Hovde acquired his fortune. It appears that he used offshore tax loopholes to avoid paying his fair share. What’s worse: that Eric Hovde understands Black people because he’s written a few checks, or that he got the money by scamming Americans?

Coming up tonight, Todd will join Civic Media News Director Terry Bell in anchoring our coverage of the CNN Presidential Debate. For now, Todd talks about each president’s record on healthcare for Americans.

Yesterday, Georgia’s former Lt. Gov. (and current Republican) Geoff

Duncan spoke out against Donald Trump’s horrendous and unforgivable actions. He went as far as to endorse Joe Biden. Hopefully this is just the beginning of a chain of Republicans realizing that they don’t need to justify Trump’s horrendous behavior.

Towards the end of the hour, we listen to the thoughts of a conservative caller who supports Trump. Ultimately, the world is a better place when we listen to each other and think critically.

We are honored to welcome Brigadier General David May of the Wisconsin Air National Guard back to the program! Brig. Gen. May is now Wisconsin’s Interim Adjutant General and responsible for Emergency Management. He also serves as Wisconsin’s Homeland Security Advisor, chairs the Homeland Security Council, and serves as the senior state official for cyber matters. He updates us on something big that may be coming to Wisconsin! The 128th Air Refueling Wing is competing to convert to the brand-new KC-46 aircraft. This is a tremendous update from the KC-135, but only one state will make the switch at this time. Listen in for the differences, and stay tuned to discover if we get it in Wisconsin!

Also, if you’re a longtime listener, you may remember that Brig. Gen. May is a huge music lover, so we hear a few more hits from his playlist throughout the hour.

As per usual, the General brought some friends! We introduce Paul Malloy, Director of Education from the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) and Lieutenant Colonel Shannon Hellenbrand of the Wisconsin Army National Guard.

LTC Shannon Hellenbrand focuses on recruitment and what it’s like to be a woman in the US military. Opportunities for women to grow and show how awesome they are have never been better, and she’s living proof of that. The Army National Guard has given her the confidence to overcome anything, and she wants nothing more than for other young women to have access to the same incredible opportunities.

Every summer in Oshkosh, the EAA hosts AirVenture, a week-long celebration of aviation! Civic Media will be there covering it, and Todd will make a stop during the week as well. Paul Malloy tells us all about the incredible sights, sounds, and educational opportunities available. If EAA AirVenture sounds interesting to you, bring your family! Kids under 18 get in for free, and there are tons of events geared toward a younger audience. There’s nothing quite like AirVenture, so head on over to eaa.org to learn more. Additionally, if you know any kids from kindergarten to high school who want to learn more about aviation for free, check out AeroEducate! It’s a fantastic program for kids to have fun while learning real skills for a potential future in flying. Visit AeroEducate.org to check it out.

If you’re interested in learning how you can serve your country, you can reach out online. Head over to goang.com for the Air National Guard or nationalguard.com for the Army National Guard. If you have a passion, there’s a way you can serve. Representatives will also be attending AirVenture.

This Wednesday, we are joined by our regular guests, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project. They talk about tomorrow’s presidential debate, and the propaganda already being spread by Trump and MAGA news outlets.

This morning, former Republican US Representative Adam Kinzinger released a video on Twitter/X/Twix endorsing Joe Biden for reelection. He maintains that he is proudly conservative and doesn’t always agree with President Biden, but believes that Biden will maintain democracy and the rule of law. Todd and the gang listen to this new video and share their reactions.

We also hear from our friend and legal expert Matt Flynn on how recent Supreme Court decisions highlight its transformation from high court to an unelected and unaccountable super-legislative body. These corrupt justices are stopping at nothing to defy legal precedents and advance the MAGA agenda.

Yesterday, John Anderson announced that he will be leaving ESPN SportsCenter to work for his alma mater, the University of Missouri.

Over the weekend, Donald Trump said twice that the UFC should put on a migrant fighting league. Surprisingly, he admitted that this dehumanizing idea was not his worst suggestion. On today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd asks us to choose between the migrant fighting league and Trump’s other bizarre ideas.

To end the show, Todd recognizes the achievements of Bo Ryan as he is inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Coming up on Thursday, Biden and Trump will have their first presidential debate of the season. Trump has preemptively claimed that Biden will probably be high on cocaine. In reality, Trump is just trying to temper expectations for what he believes will be a mediocre performance on his part.

This morning, Jon Lovett and Jon Favreau of Pod Save America spoke on Morning Joe about their new book, Democracy or Else: How to Save America in 10 Easy Steps. While the hyperpartisanship of modern American politics is frightening, it hasn’t always been this way. As recently as the Obama campaign, it was fun and fulfilling to get involved in politics, and Pod Save America have some great insight on how to return to those days.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers returns for Tuesday Tangents! He and Todd talk further on Thursday’s upcoming presidential debate, and whether or not Trump will show up.

Late this morning, Todd went to the dentist, so the first half of this hour is pre-recorded to allow the numbing agents to wear off. We enjoy a reflection on the accomplishments of one of Todd’s favorite artists: Kenny Chesney.

Before his dental procedure, Todd filled in for Pat Kreitlow, and he had a conversation with Dr. Kristin Lyerly about women’s healthcare rights. As an OB-GYN who has worked in multiple states, she knows better than most that every pregnancy has its unique challenges. Blanket abortion bans proposed by MAGA Republicans are gross oversimplifications of difficult medical decisions.

This morning, the Supreme Court announced that they are upholding a decision to prevent perpetrators of domestic violence from possessing firearms. This news may come as a surprise after a string of gun safety regulations have been shot down by the Supreme Court. Our friend and legal expert Matt Flynn weighs in on what he believes is happening.

Wisconsin State Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel was recently pulled over for traffic violations. Allegedly, he seems to believe that being a judge puts him above the law.

MAGA “news” outlets like Fox are playing doctored footage of President Biden at an increasing pace. Because Donald Trump exhibits signs of cognitive decline, his supporters constantly accuse Joe Biden of the same issues. A new video shows Joe Biden seemingly mumbling and forgetting names, but that clip doesn’t tell the full story. Todd walks us through the deception.

Today, we have news from both Virginia and West Virginia. In Virginia, Republican Representative Bob Good has been deemed unloyal to the MAGA movement. He was served a cease and desist letter demanding that he stop using Donald Trump’s name and iconography.

On this day in 1863, West Virginia became a state! It has quite an interesting backstory, so Todd brings us a little history lesson.

Yesterday, Donald Trump spoke in Racine. As usual, very little of what he said contained a modicum of truth. Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project get ahead of some of those lies.

After a brief tangent on bikers, Todd kicks off the hour by updating us on the basketball rivalry between UW Madison and Marquette.

Todd also brings us some Navy news! Houthi rebels have been spreading lies on social media that the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower has been destroyed. Captain Christopher “Chowdah” Hill has taken to creatively disprove these lies.

Tune in tomorrow for a Juneteenth show! Todd will be broadcasting live from Baraboo as they hold their first Juneteenth celebration.

Tonight, Donald Trump will be visiting Racine. After supporting Scott Walker in bankrupting Wisconsinites with Foxconn, Trump now says that Milwaukee is “a horrible city.” President Biden worked with Microsoft to finally put that Foxconn infrastructure to use, and Trump’s visit tonight will likely address that development.

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins us for another round of Tuesday Tangents. He and Todd primarily addressed Trump’s comment on Milwaukee, as well as the GOP’s scattered response to the news.

During the hour, Todd also mentioned a new article by our friend Kristin Brey in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Trump’s Milwaukee comment may be horrible, but Brey believes that we should be focusing on the horrible GOP policy decisions being made about IVF.

After our visit from Harry Dunn, we reflect further on just how unfit Donald Trump is for office. We share a new ad by The Lincoln Project that sums up his “qualifications” pretty well.

The Surgeon General now recommends that warning labels be applied to social media apps like TikTok. On today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd asks us about solutions to social media addiction. Is it too late? What can we do to treat this mental health crisis?

Over the weekend, the FBI managed to stop a planned racially motivated mass shooting. Todd catches us up to speed on the details.

Breaking late this morning, Hunter Biden has been found guilty on all charges in his gun case. His father, President Joe Biden, released a statement accepting the verdict and expressing support for his son’s recovery from drug addiction.

Over the weekend, Todd went back to Richland Center to enjoy the 77th annual Betty Hayes-Baxter School of Dance recital. For nearly 80 years, Betty Hayes-Baxter has been making the dreams of young dancers come true, so Todd takes a moment to celebrate her accomplishments.

As technology advances, high-speed internet access becomes even more crucial for everyone. For employment, medical care, and nearly everything else, we all need to use the internet. The FCC’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) allowed for rural and low-income individuals and families to get this access, but that program ended earlier this year. While some telecom companies intend to continue offering the prices guaranteed by ACP, others will not, and internet access may become unaffordable for tens of millions of families. Democratic legislators are fighting to restore this program in some manner, but the GOP stands in the way.

At the bottom of the hour, eBaum’s World Managing Editor Peter Rapine returns for another week in review! Some very strange things happened around the world these last few weeks. In China, a hiker found out that the tallest waterfall in the country is not exactly natural. Back here in the states, yet another person has chosen to bring metal objects into an MRI. This time, it was a sex toy that became an “anal railgun.” You can’t make this stuff up. Oh, also, the guy who got caught for driving with a suspended license never actually had a license.

Aaron’s board game of the week is The Grimm Masquerade! Take on the role of a fairy tale character at a masquerade ball as you try to discover everybody’s identity. There’s one catch: you never know if you’re inadvertently helping somebody else to win. Put on your sleuthing cap in this family-friendly deduction game.

TGIF!

“OC” Eric Hovde is still trying his best to compete with Tammy Baldwin. However, nobody is better at taking care of our state than Senator Baldwin. In Hovde’s latest ad, he paid his employees to talk trash about imaginary liberal talking points. Meanwhile, Baldwin’s latest ad features real Wisconsinites celebrating her accomplishments in capping the monthly cost of insulin.

At the bottom of the hour, we’re excited to welcome Jana Rose Schleis! As an Enterprise and Investigative Reporter for The Cap Times, she joins us to talk about her latest article on agriculture. Kernza is a new type of perennial grain with tremendous potential for sustainable farming. Right now, it’s only really used for beer and baking, but Wisconsin is heading the charge to advocate for kernza.

BREAKING NEWS: Randall Hepp, former warden of the Waupun prison, has been jailed. We do not yet know what he is being charged with, except that it relates to four deaths at the prison during his time as warden. Over 20 individuals from the prison are being investigated at this time.

Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio joins us as he does every Wednesday to weigh in on this huge news. He and Todd also cover yesterday’s breaking news on the Wisconsin fake elector scheme. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has finally charged several of the involved individuals.

Yesterday, we didn’t have time for any Tuesday Tangents, so Luke joins us this Wednesday instead! He and Todd reflect on a new Wall Street Journal editorial that projects mental instability onto President Joe Biden. Politicians like Kevin McCarthy are quoted as publicly denouncing Biden’s fitness for office while privately praising his acuity. After that, Todd and Luke discuss what grinds their gears this week.

After an exciting first hour, Todd brings the discussion of Trump’s convictions home to Wisconsin. Former governor Scott Walker is still out there “dividing and conquering,” and his ambition to be president burns brighter than ever. In a recent interview, Walker said that despite his misgivings about Donald Trump, he would be willing to serve as VP. Todd walks through why that will never happen, and we take your calls on one of Wisconsin’s “favorite sons.”

After talking through our choice of theme song for the giveaway, Todd covers the weekend’s news. For the first time since 2022, Dr. Anthony Fauci is returning to Capitol Hill to testify on the events of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Fauci cannot get any peace. Even after his retirement, the MAGA party keeps dragging him back in to wage their war on science and distract from their growing authoritarianism.

Donald Trump also had an interview on Fox regarding his 34 felony convictions. He said that if he were put on house arrest, “the people won’t stand for it. At a certain point, there’s a breaking point.” This insinuation of violence may be quiet, but not unheard. This echoes the dangerous commands of mobsters and authoritarians around the world.

In Thursday’s second hour, we continue our discussion on mental health awareness. We encourage you to go back and listen to the first hour wherever you get your podcasts, but it isn't necessary to understand this episode.

Remember, if you or a loved one are struggling with a mental health crisis, don’t hesitate to call 988. Crisis specialists are standing by to help you. You are worth it.

After wrapping up the news on Trump, we end the week on a few lighter notes. The Brewers have triumphed over the Cubs, and we bring you a cut from their most recent victory. Todd and Aaron also bring their own version of the eBaum’s World weird story roundup with a clip of somebody showing up to court via Zoom. There’s just one catch: his license is suspended, and he attended court from his car. You just can’t make this stuff up.

Last night, history was made as jurors reached a verdict on Donald Trump’s current trial. He was convicted of all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to influence the 2016 election. Donald J. Trump is now the first former American president to be convicted of a felony. Today, Todd brings in experts across political and legal fields to reflect on this moment and what it will mean for November’s election.

First, we welcome Matt Flynn, former Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. As an experienced attorney, he delves into what this verdict means. When it comes down to it, this trial is far from over. Afterwards, Trygve Olson, Senior Advisor to The Lincoln Project, joins for the second time this week. Having worked in presidential campaigns, he has a unique insight on what moves both the Trump and Biden campaigns may take. Finally, we welcome Charles Franklin, Director of the Marquette Law School Poll to talk about how this verdict may affect the numbers.

Before we kick off today’s show, Todd brings us a public service announcement. After a season of record travel and dangerous weather conditions, the Red Cross is critically low on blood donations. If you are able, please donate blood any time you can.

May is the month of mental health awareness, and we at The Todd Allbaugh Show feel it is critical to talk about mental health. Here in America, there is a terrible stigma surrounding mental health. Ultimately, we all must remember that we are not alone. Everybody has struggles, and nobody should have to deal with them on their own. The first step to fighting this stigma is to normalize talking about our own battles.

As we do every Wednesday, we invite Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to discuss the latest political news. Here in Wisconsin, the state Republican convention passed a resolution that would seek to end income tax in our state. This accounts for about $19 billion of our state’s budget, and they proposed no alternative source of funds.

At the top of our second hour, Todd takes a moment to celebrate the memory of Bill Walton and Grayson Murray, two athletes who passed away over the weekend.

As yesterday was Memorial Day, Todd reminds us to pay our respects to those who died serving our country. Here in Madison, many often forget that the UW Madison Memorial Union is indeed a memorial. In that building, there is an interactive exhibit featuring stories of UW alumni who passed away while serving. These stories go back all the way to the civil war, and you can read them on uwgoldstarhonorroll.org.

Afterwards, Jeremy Lyon, Administrator of the Division of Veterans Benefits, joins us to talk about the impact of Memorial Day.

Happy Memorial Day weekend! Pack your patience and travel safely.

Today, Todd brings us some huge news. We’ve been covering the ongoing closures of two-year UW campuses for almost two years now. Governor Evers has finally responded, announcing a plan to award $20 million to communities suffering from a closure. The request he submitted to the Joint Finance Committee could make a tremendous difference in communities around our state. With our approximately $4 billion surplus, Wisconsin can certainly afford this measure.

At the bottom of the hour, our friend Bradie Ewing joins us once again! As a former fullback for Badger football and the NFL, he brings an inside look to collegiate and professional sports. He and Todd discuss recent developments in NIL deals, as well as the Harrison Butker graduation speech fiasco.

In hour two, Todd takes dig after well-deserved dig at Nikki Haley, who now after denouncing Trump, pledges to vote for him. He and fill-in producer Sam talk about the grifter son of a pastor, and later, get back to Haley, with this week's What's Worse. Closing out the show, the discussion turns to the antithesis of Haley, Liz Cheney.

Continuing from Kopke’s Greenhouse, we welcome PJ Liesch, also known as the Wisconsin Bug Guy! After telling us about his job, he talks about the fascinating history of cicadas. While incredibly loud, these insects are completely harmless. He takes your calls and texts with bug questions! Also, Aaron shares some information on just how cicadas can be so loud. Check out Benn Jordan on YouTube for more weird sound facts.

Todd also gives us a heads up on an expected record Memorial Weekend for travel. The early bird gets the worm, and this weekend, you’ll have to give yourself a lot of extra time if you’re traveling.

Remember when Donald Trump quoted Nazi rhetoric? Well, he wasn’t done. He posted a campaign video on Truth Social containing the phrase “unified reich” three times in the background. This should be the biggest headline of the day, but it hasn’t gotten a lot of coverage. Despite claiming that the video was not created by his campaign and was mistakenly reposted by a staffer, Trump did not take down the post until this morning.

As always, Luke Mathers joins us for some Tuesday Tangents. We listen to a new video from Robert Reich of Inequality Media on Trump’s usage of Nazi language and methods.

This hour, Todd continues explaining what happened at the Wisconsin State Republican Convention over the weekend. We take your calls with feedback on the current Republican Party of Wisconsin.

Building on this weekend’s events, Todd speaks on the modern Republican tactic of fearmongering to win elections.

Over the weekend, Todd and Aaron both went to see Willie Nelson in concert. They take a moment to reflect on the opportunity to see a living music legend. When such a massive name in music comes to your town, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

After that discussion, Todd speaks on some much less friendly weekend news. The Wisconsin State Republican Convention took place, featuring some shocking resolutions. Ask your Republican elected officials if they support these ideas, from enforced transphobia to a full elimination of income tax in our state. The income tax cut is particularly egregious. This plan would eliminate 45% of Wisconsin’s general fund, and the Republican Party of Wisconsin provided no alternatives.

Remember Bridget and Christian Ziegler of Moms For Liberty? They advocate for banning LGBT-related books from school libraries in Florida, despite participating in threesomes themselves. Nothing is wrong with that, but it’s hypocritical to condemn the behavior that they are engaging in. Christian Ziegler also had an alleged rape case thrown out. Well, their adventures aren’t over. Apparently, the Zieglers have allegedly prowled bars, surreptitiously photographing unsuspecting women as prospective threesome participants. As always with MAGA folks, every accusation is a confession. What these people are doing is reprehensible, and we have to laugh at them to nullify their social power.

Moving on to a lighter topic, Todd updates us on No Mow May. It turns out that it may not be a good idea. In the UK, No Mow May leads to growth of native plants, but across most of the US, it enables invasive weeds. Next Wednesday, Todd will follow up on this topic live from Koepke’s Greenhouse!

Aaron’s board game of the week is Dixit. In this game, you pick an abstract art card to describe. You want the other players to guess, but there’s a catch: you don’t get any points if everybody guesses correctly. Try to find the line of ambiguity in Dixit!

TGIF!

Golfer Scottie Scheffler has been arrested outside the PGA tour for reckless driving and assault of a police officer. Apparently, police were directing traffic, and Scheffler sped up instead of stopping. Despite his charges, Scheffler is free to golf in today’s event. Todd brings us his thoughts.

Flying the American flag upside-down is a big deal, as it signals great distress and a request for immediate help. Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito has found himself in hot water after displaying his flag upside-down, seemingly in solidarity with the January 6th riots. Allegedly, it was unrelated, as his wife was displeased about their neighbor’s yard signs, and Samuel was not involved.

After wrapping up his thoughts on the new Green Bay Packers schedule, Todd shares some good news about the Biden administration’s economic successes. The American economy is a complicated machine, and we must do our best to spread accurate information. Presidents do not have any direct control over prices of goods. We have corporate greed to thank for those.

Wrapping up today’s show, Todd shares the story of another Republican who left the party over Donald Trump’s nonsense.

Coming up this Fall, Wisconsin will have more than its fair share of elections. Between the presidential election, Mike Gallagher’s resignation, congressional elections, and our new maps, a lot could change. Todd updates us on what we have to look forward to.

Also today, Vice President Kamala Harris is visiting Milwaukee during her National Economic Opportunity Tour. Hosted by comedian and radio show host D.L. Hughley, we take a portion of their conversation.

Tuesday didn’t work out, so Luke Mathers has joined us today for some belated tangents. After reflecting on the remarks of Vice President Harris, he and Todd talk about what’s grinding their gears. The Green Bay Packers are getting more and more difficult to watch without subscribing to multiple streaming services, and if you want to see their upcoming game in Brazil, you need to subscribe to Peacock.

BREAKING NEWS: Doug Gottlieb, a famous basketball radio analyst, will now become the head coach of UWGB’s basketball team while maintaining his radio show. Is it a good idea to put a radio host in charge of a college sports team? Todd breaks down the details and provides his read of the situation. Does this qualify Todd to coach college wrestling?

At the bottom of the hour, Keegan Kelly of Cracked.com returns to the program! In his latest article, he details the evolution of late-night television. Are comedy TV shows going extinct with the rise of comedy podcasts? It really seems like that’s the case, which is good news for aspiring comedians.

It’s a busy news day in Wisconsin! Following a story from WisPolitics, yesterday, the state senate adjourned immediately after voting on a veto override, cutting off Democratic objections. Ultimately, the entire session was pointless, as state Republicans are two votes short of the required amount to override a veto. Todd, Pat and Trygve discuss the implications of these silly partisan games.

After that, Todd and Trygve talk about the autocratic chaos being experienced around the world. From Russia to Donald Trump, we must remember to hold on tightly to the truth.

It appears like Joe Biden and Donald Trump are going to duke it out in a presidential debate. As an expert on political campaigns and debates, Trygve takes your questions on what to expect.

Wrapping up today’s first hour, Todd and Trygve reflect on comments by the head of the White House situation room on the January 6th Capitol riot.

Here in Wisconsin, our State Supreme Court is revisiting the idea of early voting via drop boxes. However, Wisconsin State Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu is tongue tied on the topic. Donald Trump seeks to eliminate early voting, while Brian Schimming, chair of Wisconsin’s Republican party, is pushing for conservatives to embrace mail-in ballots. When asked about it, LeMahieu can’t figure out which way is up.

This morning, Donald Trump’s request to lift his gag order was denied. As a result, he is using Speaker Mike Johnson as a pawn to do his bidding, attacking the judge’s daughter.

Speaking of Trump, a new joint report from the New York Times and ProPublica further exposes Trump’s financial failures. He has moved around ownership of his failed casino to double-dip in claiming business losses, resulting in an absolutely massive tax return. No wonder he refused to release his taxes! Trump has allegedly stolen over $168 million from us, the American taxpayers. That's just what we know about.

After our Trump update, Todd changes gears to talk about the accomplishments of Joe Biden. Today, the White House announced that it has awarded nearly $454 billion from the bipartisan infrastructure law. We don’t hear enough about this landmark investment in America.

Also, what do orange Lifesavers have to do with a good baseball team? According to Brewers manager Pat Murphy, everything.

Picking up from the end of last hour, Donald Trump has been completely unhinged at recent rallies. Politicians like Lindsey Graham join the hordes of MAGA Republicans teeing up election denial claims for November. When it comes down to it, the MAGA followers that whine about a “war on masculinity” are as far as you can get from “manliness.” They let Trump step all over them and their families.

Also, for today’s edition of What’s Worse, we compare Michael Cohen singing like a canary with Michael Bolton singing like a dying cat.

After that, Todd speaks on an important upcoming holiday: Memorial Day. In his opinion, too many corporations forget what the holiday is about. Instead of remembering fallen soldiers, Memorial Day is celebrated as a long weekend of mattress sales.

After that discussion, Todd circles back to campaign finances. The Democratic party has committed $7 million towards advertising this year in Wisconsin state senate races. This is a huge amount for these local races, and Todd tells us all about it.

To wrap up today’s show, we talk about Snoop Dogg. The Boss Dogg has announced that he’s done with fighting over NIL deals, so he’s starting his own college sports organization!

This morning House Speaker Mike Johnson held a press conference on a new bill. This bill would make it illegal to vote in a federal election if one is not an American citizen. This is already the law. Johnson then claimed that “we all know intuitively that there are a lot of illegals voting,” but that he can’t prove it. Todd retells the story of why he left the Republican party, drawing eerie parallels.

This hour, we take your calls on a new development in Donald Trump’s hush money and falsified records case. Trump was granted a day off from the trial to attend his youngest son’s high school graduation. However, he is now scheduled to speak at a fundraiser on that day. Is he blowing off his son? Will this result in another fine for contempt of court? Only time will tell.

Over the weekend, Netflix hosted a “roast” of former NFL quarterback Tom Brady. It essentially served as a front for off-color jokes of all kinds, including racism, sexual assault, and pedophilia. Most of the jokes weren’t even about Brady. However, another roast has been taking place over the last few weeks. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has been promoting her new book, in which she brags about killing a puppy and other animals. Every time she’s questioned about these passages, she digs the hole even deeper. For today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd asks us to choose between comedians pretending to roast Tom Brady and Kristi Noem roasting, well, Kristi Noem.

To wrap up today’s show, Todd talks about Wisconsin’s recently adopted legislative maps, and the effects that we can already see on our political landscape.

On Protests And Responsible Journalism:

Protests over the war in Gaza have come to a head at UW Madison. Is it comparable to what’s happening at Columbia University, or is it being blown out of proportion on the news and social media? We welcome Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to discuss their perspective on news coverage of protests.

While Pat focuses on the journalism side, Trygve delves deeper into the politics of these protests. He and Todd believe that it is shortsighted to vote against “Genocide Joe.” If people believe that President Biden is mismanaging the situation, they should imagine what would happen with Trump in charge. Donald Trump has explicitly said he would encourage Russia to “do whatever the hell they want.” He would offer a blank check to Israel. Joe Biden is the only sane choice on this and many other issues.

Tomorrow is Star Wars Day! May the fourth be with you! Aaron and Todd take your calls on how Star Wars changed cinema and movie merchandising forever.

At the bottom of the hour, our friend and colleague Pat Kreitlow joins us to talk about his experience with the Uniroyal plant closure. However, he isn’t alone! We also welcome Judy Clark of WEAU News, who co-anchored coverage of this event with Pat in the 90’s!

Today, Todd comes to us live from the beautiful Pablo Center in Eau Claire! This evening, the Pablo Center at the Confluence is hosting the world premiere of When Rubber Hit The Road, a documentary about the closure of Eau Claire’s Uniroyal tire plant.

Before we delve into the history behind this exciting new release, we hear once again from Anna Kleiber, State News Editor for the Daily Cardinal. Directly from campus, she updates us on the pro-Palestine encampment at UW Madison.

At the bottom of the hour, we interview B.J. Hollars, one of the filmmakers behind When Rubber Hit The Road. He shares how he ended up in Eau Claire and what inspired him to make this film.

In today’s first hour, we shared remarks from President Biden about pro-Palestinian protests at universities around the country. This hour, we compare those statements with those of his opponent, Donald Trump. Yesterday, Trump spoke in Waukesha, and his message could not be more divorced from American ideals. He is not shy about what he will do if put back in power, and it wouldn’t be pretty for anybody around the globe.

On a lighter note, we wrap up today’s show with a celebration of Smokey the Bear’s birthday!

As protests continue at college campuses across the nation, The Todd Allbaugh Show remains committed to sharing accurate information. To that end, Anna Kleiber, State News Editor at the Daily Cardinal, returns to update us on the encampment at UW Madison.

This morning, President Biden delivered remarks on these protests. He emphasized that while Americans have the right to free speech, the rule of law must be enforced. Todd echoes the President’s statements, encouraging peaceful protest while following state laws and heeding police warnings.

We also take your calls on the GOP’s call for more election observers. Is it an intimidation tactic?

Breaking news: Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives announced that they plan to help Speaker Mike Johnson keep his job.

Todd also shares some even bigger news. The DEA is likely to shift the classification of marijuana, due to its medical applications and lower abuse potential than many other federally illegal drugs. This change, spurred by the Biden administration, could have far-reaching implications, including the scrubbing of some marijuana-related charges from criminal records.

For today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd pits two hometown restaurant chains against one another. We take your calls and texts on the best restaurants to find cougars, apparently.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, Aaron’s board game of the week is Old-School Essentials. Tabletop roleplaying games are an incredible way to hang out with friends or meet new ones. They provide a creative outlet, engaging puzzles, and so much more. If you’re interested in experiencing the roots of D&D, you’re far better off picking up a copy of these rules. They’re easier to understand, and you can get the basic rules online for free.

At the bottom of the hour, eBaum’s World Managing Editor Peter Rapine returns with some bizarre (and true) headlines from the last two weeks!

TGIF! At the end of another busy week, Todd reminds us of the differences between our two presidential candidates. We also dive into a discussion on what it’s like to live in a swing state. Are the constant visits from presidential candidates a blessing, or a curse?

Today, the State Senate Democratic Committee held a press conference on the string of UW campus closures. We carried it live, only to discover that it wasn’t really about that. It really boiled down to a political hit job on Joan Ballweg. Nothing they said was unwarranted or inaccurate, but the press conference was labeled in a misleading manner. Hear Todd's thoughts on the issue and this "response!"

Todd is fired up today! After last night’s forum on UW campus closures in Muscoda, he has renewed hope for the future of two-year campuses. This hour, we hear from David Turk, the newly elected Chair of the Richland County Board, on the impact that this debacle has on communities around Wisconsin. As we’ve heard for over a year and a half now, local authorities and community members have gone above and beyond in the search for a solution that keeps campuses alive. Time and again, UW System leadership have been minimally responsive, if at all.

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by State Senator Kelda Roys, co-host of last night’s event. We listen to some audio from the forum and talk about what we as citizens can do to save our schools.

Last night, State Senator Kelda Roys and Representative Katrina Shankland held a public forum in Muscoda on the string of two-year UW campus closures. Approximately 100 people showed up, crossing political party lines to discuss the importance of higher education in our state. Will this reignite the Wisconsin idea in the hearts of the people and our legislature? Our usual Wednesday guests, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project, provide their analysis on this attack on education.

In today’s second hour, Todd answers the question asked by the Trump campaign: are we better off than we were four years ago? First of all, that question is stolen from Ronald Reagan’s campaign, just like the phrase “(let’s) Make America Great Again.” Regardless of its origin, the answer to that question is a resounding “yes.” Trump’s administration botched the handling of global health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, and nothing makes this more clear than Trump’s recommendation to drink and/or inject bleach.

Like most authoritarian actors, Donald Trump is clear about his intent. He has leaned into rhetoric that echoes Adolf Hitler, and claims that he will indeed become a dictator, even if allegedly only for a day. Lara Trump was also very clear over the weekend, claiming that if elected, Donald Trump will bring about “four years of scorched Earth.”

We finish off the show with the most important question of the day: should mashed potatoes be smooth or lumpy?

Yesterday’s show was jam-packed full of Earth Day conservation tips, so the weekend news had to wait until today. This past weekend was incredibly consequential. Speaker Mike Johnson brought foreign aid votes, including Ukraine, to the floor, and they all passed with varying degrees of success. While we disagree with nearly everything Mike Johnson says and does, he was on the right side of history this time as he supports Ukraine.

Luke Mathers continues the conversation on Ukrainian aid on today’s edition of Tuesday Tangents! He and Todd also debate the ethics of bringing NIL money into high school sports. Todd is firmly against it, but Luke is open to the idea.

Today, Todd joins us live from Governor Nelson State Park to talk about the conservation efforts that make Wisconsin great.

We’re honored to speak with his daughter, Tia Nelson, about his lasting legacy and her own conservation efforts. She reminds us to make every day Earth Day!

“OC” Eric Hovde is on blast for his comments about voting in assisted living facilities. When people tell you who they are, believe them, and Eric Hovde has said on multiple occasions that “most people in nursing homes are not in a place to vote.”

Last night, Speaker Mike Johnson declared his willingness to do the right thing and fund Ukraine. However, in response, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s threats to oust Johnson have been gaining traction. Wisconsin’s own Derrick Van Orden continues to exhibit poor behavior, daring his fellow congresspeople to move to vacate Speaker Johnson’s position.

We are pleased to share that State Senator Kelda Roys and representative Katrina Shankland will be holding an open forum to discuss closures of two-year UW campuses. On Tuesday, April 6th at 6 pm, meet up at the Kratochwill Memorial Building in Muscoda to express your thoughts. Up until now, Wisconsin Democrats have been silent on this issue, so we are excited for this event and hope it proves fruitful.

Have you ever wanted to drive a DeLorean? What if it was electric? At the bottom of the hour, we welcome Geoffrey Hoffman, business owner and EV aficionado. He converted a DeLorean to an EV, so we ask him what that was like.

Breaking news: Justice Ann Walsh Bradley will not be running for another term on Wisconsin’s state supreme court. We take your calls as we speculate on who may run for her seat. Perhaps our very own Maggie Daun?

On this crossover Wednesday, we enjoy our weekly visit from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio! Pat’s wife is an OB-GYN, so he has a lot to say about the Arizona state supreme court’s recent decision to uphold an ancient abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest.

Todd and Pat also share some new audio from RFK Jr’s New York campaign manager. His campaign is now explicitly trying to pull votes from both sides to “spoil” the election. If Joe Biden and Donald Trump both fail to accrue 270 electoral votes, the election will be decided by congress. Our Republican-led congress will likely favor Trump, and the world cannot afford another four years with that walking disaster.

Speaking of Donald Trump’s authoritarianism, Todd recaps Project 2025. This project seeks to enact Trumpism at all levels of government, and it is extremely dangerous. Trump is not hiding his autocracy. He’s flaunting it, and we must vote against fascism.

This hour, we share some news from yesterday. Republican State Senator Rob Cowles will not be running for reelection in the coming year. After 36 years of service, he is the current longest-serving state senator. Todd laments the loss of one of the last principled conservatives in our state’s legislature. We also hear comments from former Wisconsin Democracy Campaign Executive Director Matt Rothschild on the legacy of Rob Cowles.

GOP Representative Mike Turner acknowledged yesterday that Russian propaganda has indeed taken hold in the Republican party, even making its way to the House floor. As chair of the House Intelligence Committee, he knows what he’s talking about. We admire his courage in sharing this information. Keep this in mind as we approach November's election season. Politicians like Derrick Van Orden are snake oil salesmen, and don't let him fool you into believing otherwise.

Today’s show wraps up with a tribute to coach Bo Ryan as he enters the hall of fame.

Today, we take your calls on yesterday’s spectacular solar eclipse. Todd and Aaron went up to the roof to see it, and maybe in twenty years, they can take a trip to Argentina to see the next one!

We also share some unfortunate breaking news. In Arizona, the state supreme court has upheld a total abortion ban. This aligns with Trump’s new stated position on abortion that states should determine their own laws.

At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media’s Executive Producer joins us for another edition of Tuesday Tangents with Luke Mathers! Yesterday, Luke was on the scene at Madison College, covering President Biden’s address on student loans. It was his first time seeing Biden in person, and he tells us all about it– including an unfortunate lack of ice cream.

Luke and Todd also catch up on both NCAA and NBA basketball. Currently, the Bucks are grinding Luke’s gears, and he tells us why.

This hour wraps up our tour around the state. We’ve seen a lot of what makes our state fantastic, and we take some more of your calls on Wisconsin.

Aaron’s board game of the week is perhaps one of the greatest and most influential games of all time. Created in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, Dungeons and Dragons is synonymous with the tabletop roleplaying game genre. Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson merged their love of miniature wargaming with their desire to explore fantasy worlds, and the rest is history. D&D is part of what makes Wisconsin great, and if you haven’t played it, I urge you to get some friends together and try out the free rules online.

Tonight, Friday, April fifth, you can join Todd and Trygve from 6:00-7:30 pm at 1919 Pub in Lambeau Field. The first round of beer and cheese curds is on them!

It may be April Fool’s Day, but Culver’s is no joke. Craig and Lea Culver are the real deal and have focused on giving back to their community since the very beginning in Sauk City. We invited Culver’s Senior Marketing Manager Alison Demmer to talk about the company and their new thick-cut bacon. We are thankful for her time.

Former State Senator (and Todd’s old boss) Dale Schultz also joins us once again this afternoon. As a friend of Craig and Lea Culver, he confirms their friendliness and generosity.

Donald Trump’s legal woes are far from over, so today, we invite one of our favorite legal experts back to the program: Matt Flynn! As an attorney, US Navy veteran, two-time state Democratic party chair, former Civic Media host, and author, he always brings a unique and informed perspective.

This morning, we received updates on Donald Trump’s legal woes. On one hand, he will no longer be allowed to delay the Stormy Daniels campaign deception case. On the other hand, in New York, the appeals court has lightened Mr. Trump’s load. Rather than approximately $450 million, he has to pay $172 million. He and his sons are also no longer barred from operating their business in the state.

On Friday, Representative Mike Gallagher announced his resignation from congress. Today, we break down the response so far and share Todd’s thoughts. We also take your calls on the controversy.

Todd also shares some breaking news with us. Wisconsin Representative Mike Gallagher is resigning effective April 19th, decreasing the Republican majority to a single seat.

Aaron’s board game of the week is a brand-new trading card game. Star Wars: Unlimited launched its first set a few weeks ago. Build decks with your favorite Star Wars characters, ships, and locations, and battle for control of the galaxy!

March Madness is in full swing, and Todd is excited to keep us updated! However, something is still grinding his gears. The Badgers women’s hockey team are the defending champions, and they’ve made it to another Frozen Four! Despite this continued success, you can’t watch their upcoming games on TV. You have to subscribe to a streaming service. Why aren’t we celebrating the astounding achievements of our women’s hockey team?

Mike Johnson has found himself in hot water, but not for the reasons you might think. Marjorie Taylor Greene is moving to oust him from his speakership because he’s simply getting too much done.

Wrapping up this hour, we hear from our friend and former congressman Scott Klug, on the scene at today’s Marquette game in Indianapolis! Also, be careful driving in Southern Wisconsin today. Roads are slick!

This hour, we reflect on the state of partisan politics. We would all love alternatives to the two-party system, but third parties just aren’t viable. We are always told that maybe next time it could happen, but the last independent candidate to actually win was Abraham Lincoln. How can we increase voter agency in our elections?

On today’s edition of What’s Worse, we focus on real estate. Is it worse that Donald Trump can’t make bond, or that real estate agents have colluded to make us pay an extra 6% until now?

Todd is feeling a bit under the weather today, but that doesn’t keep him from staying on top of the weather report! Now that it’s finally Spring, Wisconsin is getting some Winter weather. We anticipate a few inches of snow in the coming days, but alternate side parking regulations ended on March 15th. Due to the bizarre weather, Madison issued nearly 8,000 tickets for alternate side parking violations, a vast increase of the approximately 1600 issued the last couple of Winters. Why are the people of Madison getting tickets due to snow when it’s 70 degrees outside?

After speaking on parking, Todd turns to a subject we don’t cover often enough: supporting Ukraine. Todd shares an excerpt of a new article by Heather Cox Richardson on why saving Ukraine is critical. If left unchecked, a large-scale Russian attack on NATO is likely on the horizon. This would result in direct American involvement.

This hour, Todd explores a connection between soccer (or football) and MAGA. Whenever a Trump fanatic calls somebody a RINO (Republican In Name Only), just remind them that the GOP has become the RPINO, or Republican Party In Name Only. This acronym is pronounced exactly like Megan Rapinoe’s name!

What’s Poppin’ with Robin Vos? Our usual Wednesday guests, Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson, join us to break down what the “whack jobs and morons” have been up to. Also, in a hearing today, we’ve gained even more evidence of Ron Johnson’s Russian influences.

This hour, we hear your opinions on Donald Trump’s finances. Assuming he won’t be able to pay, which properties should be confiscated? Does he even own enough valuable property to be seized?

On an unrelated note, AT&T has had a data leak, including birthdays and social security numbers of customers. If you use AT&T, please contact your provider and make sure your data is safe.

Today, Todd brings us an update on Donald Trump’s finances. Unsurprisingly, Trump is broke. Even considering his real estate holdings, he cannot make bail. His campaign finances aren’t much better. According to NBC, small dollar donations are drying up, putting him into an increasingly dire situation. It turns out, when you use campaign money for personal matters, people are reluctant to donate more.

We then herald in the first full day of Spring with a new edition of Tuesday Tangents with Luke Mathers! He and Todd discuss politicians who claim to run on their ideas. People like “OC” Eric Hovde have no ideas or solutions.

This hour, we finish unpacking the weekend’s Trump rally. Even the music was unsettling. To kick off the rally, Trump used an ominous rendition of the national anthem performed by convicted felons, referred to as J6 hostages.

These words and actions have consequences, and we’re feeling the effects in Wisconsin. Todd shares details from an article at motherjones.com on what we’re experiencing.

Over the weekend, our frequent guest Trygve Olson was featured in an article over on Raw Story. Donald Trump held a rally in which he further escalated his violent rhetoric. People like Scott Walker downplay his comments, asserting that Trump’s use of the word “bloodbath” referred only to the economy, but Trygve begs to differ. While it is possible that Trump may not have intended to incite violence, the events of January 6th have shown us that his supporters take his words literally. Continuing to use these words can no longer be called an accident.

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by Mike Clemens, Civic Media’s Sports Reporter, to talk about March Madness!

As we do every Wednesday, we welcome Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to talk about the latest news. Will Aaron Rodgers or Jesse “The Body” Ventura be the Vice President? Will Steph Curry run for President? More and more celebrities are playing politics.

Robert Hur demonstrated his complete ethical bankruptcy in his hearing yesterday. His report on President Biden directly contradicts the transcript of his interview. Most astoundingly, Hur uses the death of Biden’s son as a political tool. Parents who have lost children should be outraged.

After that sobering discussion, Todd and Trygve share the political discussions they’ve been having with friends. Ultimately, everybody is scared about the future, but ridiculing people’s choices doesn’t get you anywhere. We have to work together. Convince people, don’t shame them.

Following recent rulings on embryo personhood in Alabama, IVF treatments have been under attack in our country. MAGA Mike Johnson has shared conflicting messaging about whether or not IVF should be legal. At a conference in West Virginia, he has now made the record clear, stating that he believes the federal government has no role in protecting IVF.

Yesterday afternoon, President Joe Biden spoke in Milwaukee about investing in America. Brady Coulthard, Communications Director for the Young Democrats of Wisconsin, was on the scene and got to meet the Commander-in-Chief! Once again, Biden projects empathy and compassion, and we’re grateful for Brady’s perspective as a member of Gen Z in politics.

Lately, the Republicans have been falling back on an old Ronald Reagan campaign slogan: are you better off today than you were four years ago? They claim the answer is no, but evidence points to the contrary. Last night, Chris Hayes from MSNBC compiled headlines from that exact day four years ago to remind us of the absolute chaos under Donald Trump’s administration.

We had a lot of ground to cover with Trygve Olson, so Todd takes a moment to wrap up some loose ends from the last hour regarding Robert Hur’s hearing.

Ken Buck has announced that he will not be running for reelection. In fact, he will be resigning from congress, effective on March 22nd. He wasn’t subtle about his reasons for leaving, either, as he specifically named the incompetence of Speaker Mike Johnson. More and more Republicans are “bucking up” and standing against the MAGA movement, and the Republican majority is slowly dwindling.

In yesterday’s Georgia primary, a staggering number of people voted for candidates other than Trump, despite the fact that he’s the only real remaining candidate. Over 80,000 people voted against the former president, which may be a good sign.

Finally, we wrap up today’s show with a clip from Jon Stewart’s Monday night program. He says that while everybody is entitled to their own beliefs, it simply isn’t patriotic to support authoritarianism.

This hour, Todd brings us some national news. At the behest of Jim Jordan, Robert Hur rapidly retired from the Department of Justice in order to testify in court as a private citizen only a day later. This is no coincidence, and is deeply concerning. Hur’s report on Biden’s mental state was already suspect, but now, we have transcripts to prove that he heavily embellished it. Not only is our president still very mentally competent, he’s still a great storyteller. Like many of us, he just likes to drive fast cars.

Aaron’s board game of last week is Dune: Imperium! To celebrate the release of the new Dune movie, why not cultivate your own desert power? Combining worker placement and deckbuilding, this game is a complex intersection of systems, perfectly fitting the political intrigue from the series.

Yesterday, we broke the news that the UW Milwaukee-Waukesha campus is shutting down, despite having the second highest enrollment of any two-year campus. Who is looking out for Wisconsin’s students? Well, we certainly know who isn’t, and that’s the Republican party and the Board of Regents, especially President Jay Rothman.

Our friend Luke Mathers was actually the one to tip us off to that story! Today, he joins us for another edition of Tuesday Tangents. After sharing his perspective on campus closures, he and Todd talk about what’s grinding their gears.

Donald Trump is at it again as the bully-in-chief, making fun of Biden’s disability over the weekend. Rather than debating on issues and policies, Trump sticks to personal insults. While Trump misbehaves like a kindergartener, Joe Biden has always shown compassion and empathy. We bring you audio to compare their actions and take your calls on this behavior.

Out of the mouths of the Donalds Trump, both Junior and Senior, the Republican party is dead, with MAGA rising in its place.

Breaking news: according to an article at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel from this morning, UW Milwaukee: Waukesha will be closing its doors. This marks the fifth two-year UW branch campus to be closed within the last year and a half. Despite having the second highest enrollment of any of our two-year campuses, enrollment was cited as a reason for closure. While the Republican legislature is largely to blame, why isn’t Governor Tony Evers doing anything about this? We take your calls on this assault on public education.

For today’s last hour, Todd wraps up the week’s news. First, he finishes up the discussion on Biden’s State of the Union speech, taking your calls and texts on the matter.

Like many of us, Todd loves college sports, and he has his finger on the pulse. He agrees with coach Barry Alvarez that Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals may cause major problems for college football going forward. Rumors abound that NIL deals may be coming to high school sports, and Todd thinks this is a horrible plan.

Trygve and Todd break down the strengths and weaknesses of Biden’s speech before addressing the Republican “response.” Do-Nothing Derek Van Orden was on his best behavior, yelling “lies” as Biden spoke on Donald Trump’s failures as president.

Kicking off today’s second hour, we ask again: are you better off than you were four years ago? We take your calls on what it was like during Donald Trump’s presidency, focusing on his terrible response to the pandemic. We hear from a few healthcare workers about just how tragic it was.

We also bring you some more MAGA craziness in their own words. North Carolina’s GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson is a homophobic holocaust denier. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a nutcase conspiracy theorist with no sense of decorum. Speaker Mike Johnson is pretending that IVF is a brand-new technology, even though it’s been in use since the 70’s. New evidence has surfaced that Ron Johnson did indeed know that he was delivering false election papers.

For today’s second hour, Todd further breaks down current GOP messaging. If you’re a moderate conservative, Trump has explicitly said that he doesn’t want you. Anybody who wishes to serve under Trump must forsake their oath to the Constitution and instead blindly follow Donald’s will.

Republican party leadership never stops talking about “backing the blue,” but their actions show otherwise. This week, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced massive cuts to various federal agencies, including DOJ, ATF, FBI, and EPA. All of these agencies are law enforcement. Mike Johnson is quite literally and actively defunding the police.

After the results of Super Tuesday, Nikki Haley has ended her presidential campaign. While she did not endorse Trump, she did not condemn him either. We invite our typical Wednesday guests, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project, to reflect on these events.

GOP messaging would have you believe that Democrats are divided on Biden. Yes, many have issues with Biden, but when it comes down to it, Biden is getting higher numbers than even Obama did.

Remember when Scott Walker turned down federal funding for high-speed trains in Wisconsin? The trains were still made, and they now operate in Africa. Wisconsinites still paid for them, too.

You may have missed it, but the Wisconsin Supreme Court made a ruling on Friday. They will not be implementing the new Evers maps. They would have been an improvement, but it appears that they didn’t go far enough. The concept of “least change” is being thrown out, allowing our state to start from scratch to make the fairest maps possible.

Todd also gives us an overview of candidates vying to take over Mike Gallagher’s soon-to-be vacant position.

Breaking news: this morning, the US Supreme Court has ruled that states cannot remove Donald Trump from the ballot. By simply putting the decision in the hands of congress rather than individual states, the Supreme Court has successfully avoided making a real decision on this issue. The issue of eligibility is still in question, and will likely make its way back to the court in short order.

In attempting to assert his Wisconsin-ness, “OC” Eric Hovde is only further alienating our state. Despite running for a Wisconsin senate seat, Hovde does not mention the state even once in his campaign ads. Senator Tammy Baldwin and others have called him out for this. Hovde responded with a video of himself jumping into an icy lake to somehow prove that he’s a true Wisconsinite. Eric Hovde, if you’re reading this, owning a vacation mansion in a state does not make you a resident of that state.

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined in-person by our friend Bradie Ewing! He and Todd talk about Richland Center, UW sports, and more!

In the show's second hour, Todd and fill-in producer Sam banter about the wild February weather we're having, before getting into what is, essentially, a blackmail campaign by Trump against those who have supported him in the past. We hear comments from former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull comparing Trump and Putin to a 12-year old and his football captain idol, and later, the far-right platform promoted by CPAC, and its un-American nature. Wrapping up the show, he talks more on white Christian nationalism and the absurdity of white replacement theory.

Beginning the show today Todd, along with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson comment on the breaking news that Mitch McConnel step down from Senate leadership. They talk the Michigan primary yesterday, and Jeff Timmer's comment that chlamydia is more popular than Trump. The discussion turns to swing voters, particularly in Wisconsin, and later, Todd and Trygve talk concerns voters have on Biden's age. We hear Brett Baier's interview with Trump, where he continues to deny the results of the 2020 election, and they close out the hour discussing Andrew Hitt, and his about-face on the election, and Trump as a whole.

Recently, a bipartisan bill on border security was shot down by the MAGA cult. An increasing number of Republicans and Democrats are looking to cooperate and avoid catastrophe here in America and over in Ukraine. They may even circumvent Speaker Mike Johnson.

Following the Dominion lawsuit, networks like Fox and Newsmax have discovered that lying leads to legal trouble. As a result, even these far-right propaganda machines are pushing back on election denial.

The CEO of Kellog’s is in hot water after suggesting that people could save some money by eating cereal for dinner every once in a while. Todd doesn’t understand the hate. Cereal may not be a nutritionally complete meal, but what’s wrong with an easy dinner now and then? Meanwhile, Donald Trump is talking about made-up water restrictions in Beverly Hills. What’s worse: the backlash on cereal, or Trump’s verbal diarrhea on brushing your teeth?

Todd and Aaron are both back in Madison this Monday as we return to our normal two-hour show. To kick off the week, we share some breaking news regarding Wisconsin’s fake electors. Kenneth Chesebro has been hiding damning posts from a secret Twitter account. Hiding information under oath is not a good look.

Donald Trump beat Nikki Haley approximately 60%-40%. However, even Fox News was willing to share that 59% of Haley voters will not vote for Trump if he’s the nominee. Trump may be almost guaranteed to win the primary, but winning the general election is less likely than Trump would have you believe.

Also over the weekend, Trump delivered some very racist remarks at the Black Conservative Foundation.

After wrapping up a discussion on the Birkie, Todd rounds up the rest of the news. “OC” Eric Hovde is running against Tammy Baldwin, and he is completely unqualified for the job. Senator Baldwin is doing an amazing job listening to Wisconsinites and fighting for their needs. If you’re able to contribute, head over to TammyBaldwin.com and donate to combat the inevitable disinformation campaign.

CNN has finally begun covering Donald Trump in an appropriate manner. In discussing his recent Town Hall on Fox News, CNN brings on a nonpartisan expert to expose Trump’s bold-faced lies.

For the last few days, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) has been taking place in Washington DC. Many speakers at the event have outed themselves as autocrats, explicitly claiming to herald in the end of democracy and the beginning of a Christian white nationalist theocracy. Todd explains the background of CPAC and takes your calls on this disgusting display of authoritarianism.

To kick off today’s show, Todd brings us some breaking news from WisPolitics. Allegedly, the Republican party has broken campaign finance laws. According to the State Ethics Committee, many individuals from Trump’s campaign face felony charges for skirting the $5,000 donation limit.

While we drown in political chaos, we’re grateful for beacons of positivity like Bradie Ewing. Bradie is a former Badger and NFL fullback who grew up a few houses over from Todd in Richland Center. He and Todd talk about what it takes to prepare for athletics, be it football or skiing in the Birkie.

This hour, Todd delves further into Jim Jordan’s refusal to stop promoting Russian propaganda about Joe Biden. Jordan clings to four “facts” that “prove” Biden’s corruption. However, according to reporting from reputable news organization Meidas Touch, these four facts are nothing but manipulations. The MAGA cult refuses to be wrong and will stop at nothing to weave a narrative of “alternative facts” and bamboozle the American people.

In Alabama, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been discontinued, as destruction of frozen embryos has been ruled as murder. This absolutely asinine move makes no sense and leads to a ton of moral questions. If a woman has a miscarriage, is she a murderer? If an IVF procedure goes awry, as often happens, are the doctors murderers? If somebody is on birth control, are they a murderer? If a couple has sex and doesn’t conceive, even if they’re trying to, are they murderers? It simply makes no sense.

Congressman Jim Jordan is up to his old tricks. The FBI has discovered that there is absolutely no evidence of bribery and collusion between Joe Biden and his son Hunter. These allegations have been exposed as Russian propaganda. Despite this, Jim Jordan still claims that Biden is guilty. Many in his party are beginning to tire of the nonsense, including Ken Buck, who spoke out against this farce on CNN last night.

Each day, we draw closer to the American Birkenbeiner! Todd comes to us live from the WBZH studios in Hayward, Wisconsin to get the local scoop. Today, we are lucky to be joined by Civic Media’s Programming Director, Kathryn Lake! She shares her broadcasting journey before bringing us some interviews of Birkie participants. We hear from a local man who’s skied in 30 Birkies, a Swiss family, an eight-year-old boy attending his first race, and an advocate for disabled skiers. Hayward may lack snow, but it more than makes up for it in spirit and camaraderie. Stay tuned for more Birkie coverage over the next few days!

On this day in 1980, Al Michaels delivered one of the most famous lines in sports broadcast history: “Do you believe in miracles? Yes!” Today, we remember the Miracle On Ice, a legendary Olympic men’s hockey game in which the underdog American team beat the Soviet Union. We share the original audio, as well as some reflections from Al Michaels about that fateful day 44 years ago. Listeners also call and text in with their memories of the Miracle On Ice. If you stay tuned until the end, you’ll discover our friend Rico’s recipe for a different kind of Miracle On Ice!

We dedicate some time this hour to salute Alexei Navalny and his contributions to justice in Russia. He was assassinated by Putin in prison, but his legacy lives on.

Todd also shares some disturbing news of a shooting in Middleton. Remember, if you or anybody you know is suffering from a mental health crisis, please call 988. It is a free hotline that can provide advice and save lives. No crisis is too small. You are worth it.

Continuing our coverage of the American Birkenbeiner, we welcome Wisconsin radio legend Teri Barr! With a background in news, she’s covered the Birkie before and is very excited to talk about its origins and 50th anniversary. After the bizarre weather we’ve had this winter, the Hayward Birkie will be expanding across the seasons in the form of bike races.

After our visit from Teri, we take your calls on Biden’s new student debt relief plans and the MAGA assault on education. One of our callers looked into UW Madison’s public budget information. Over the last few years, the state went from providing 43% of the university’s funding to a paltry 15%. At what point should the school consider moving away from public funding?

Despite Mother Nature’s best efforts, we kick off the 50th annual American Birkenbeiner ski race this weekend! Normally, the track extends from Cable to Hayward in Northern Wisconsin. Since we have essentially no snow this year, cities in the area have been manufacturing snow to cart in and form a shortened 10 km looping track.

To help us explain the warmest winter in Wisconsin history, we welcome Civic Media Meteorologist Brittney Merlot. While some of it can be attributed to normal storms, the effects of climate change are undeniable.

After that, Todd brings us some good news! President Biden is back in business to forgive student loans. Many voters aren’t excited to vote for Joe Biden, but time and time again, he’s acting to help working class folks.

After cleaning up last hour’s topic of Wisconsin hospital closures, Todd moves on to some spicy coverage from CNN. The network aired a certain four-letter word that starts with S when describing President Biden’s efforts to highlight Donald Trump’s offensive behavior. Is this a flash in the pan, or are we entering a new era of broadcasting with no regard for FCC regulations?

Following up on yesterday’s discussion, Todd delves further into the details of Sunday’s episode of 60 Minutes. Andrew Hitt claims that he was duped into signing off on the fake elector scheme in Wisconsin, but Todd doesn’t buy it. Todd knows a lot of the people behind the scenes, and he paints a picture of what most likely happened.

After wrapping up on the “Hitt piece,” we are joined by one of Civic Media’s Northwest Wisconsin reporters, James Kelly! As a New York native, he shares how he ended up in Wisconsin, as well as some travel tips for those who wish to visit the Big Apple. He and Todd also talk about the biggest issue in the Chippewa Valley right now: hospital closures. These HSHS and Prevea shutdowns came out of nowhere, so we ask James to update us on potential solutions.

Wisconsin Republicans are in a bit of a pickle. Brian Schimming, the chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, is encouraging citizens to vote absentee early. However, the presumptive nominee Donald Trump is still claiming that mail-in voting is corrupt. Who are Wisconsin Republicans supposed to listen to?

Next, our friend Luke Mathers brings us some Tuesday Tangents! He and Todd talk about the Birkenbeiner ski event that’s coming up this weekend. Our lack of snowfall is causing all kinds of problems for farmers in the state, and it has also led to shortened course for the Birkie.

Happy fair maps Monday! Governor Tony Evers has signed his new maps into law. While the Republican party may sue, Todd believes that this was still the way to go. Since he signed the maps, Evers gets to say that he kept to his word, and the culpability for any delay lies squarely on Republicans.

Todd also shares some cuts from Sunday’s episode of 60 Minutes. Anderson Cooper interviewed Andrew Hitt in a self-aggrandizing “Hitt piece.” In the interview, Hitt claims that he and the other Wisconsin fake electors were tricked into signing their paperwork. It appears that Cooper allowed Hitt to use this as a PR stunt. Todd isn’t buying it.

To finish off this hour, we bring you our last interview with local renaissance man John Roach. As a screenwriter, filmmaker, and Wisconsinite, he always has great stories to tell. He and Todd talk sports before John shares some of his creative process with us. The environment you work in can have a huge impact on what you create.

Afterwards, John Roach weighs in on conspiracy theories about Taylor Swift. These theories serve to highlight the cognitive dissonance of Trumpism. Are Democrats incompetent, or are they masterminds? If Republicans love self-made capitalists, why do they hate Taylor Swift so much?

Happy Presidents’ Day!

Todd is off today to help out his dad, so he and Aaron recorded a new show for you over the weekend.

When is the last time you went a whole day without using your phone? The overwhelming majority of us are addicted to using the internet. Technology can help us out a lot, but it can also hurt us. Todd shares some helpful tips on maintaining a healthy relationship with your smartphone.

BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump has been found liable for fraud in New York. Judge Engoron has ruled that Trump must pay over $350 million. His adult sons are also on the line for $4 million each. The Trump organization’s business certificates have not been dissolved, but he and his son are barred from operating in New York for three years.

At the end of today’s first hour, we got a call on the dire state of American politics. Our caller asked if we also see similarities to conditions before the world wars, and Todd certainly does. We also dive a bit deeper into the death (likely an assassination) of Alexei Navalny.

Unsurprisingly, the stories of Joe Biden and Hunter Biden’s corruption are just that: stories. The Department of Justice has been investigating the claims and looking for evidence, but have found that there is none.

Aaron gives us a special Valentine’s Day board game of the week with Arkham Horror! Isn’t it romantic to investigate occult rituals and otherworldly evils? All sarcasm aside, this is a fantastic game to dig into with your significant other over multiple play sessions.

Coming up on Sunday, Anderson Cooper is interviewing Andrew Hitt on 60 Minutes. They’ve released a preview, and Hitt is still playing dumb, claiming that he was tricked into aiding the 2020 Wisconsin fake elector scheme.

In Russia, Putin’s political opponent Alexei Navalny just died in prison. While this may seem unrelated to Andrew Hitt, we take a very impactful call from regular listener Karina that proves otherwise. Trump’s political techniques echo those of Putin, but they are executed with far less tact and precision. Ultimately, the results are similar, as people choose sides out of fear.

To finish up the discussion on Andrew Hitt, attorney and fellow Civic Media show host Maggie Daun calls in to provide a legal perspective. She agrees that there’s no way Hitt is this dumb, and if he is claiming to be, he should lose his license.

In today’s bonus hour, Todd celebrates the life of Frederick Douglass, an instrumental figure in furthering racial equality.

After that, Todd covers some national news. Republican leaders are still misbehaving as they leak top secret military information and impeach Alejandro Mayorkas. House Speaker Mike Johnson is strategically scheduling votes to take advantage of medical issues that are keeping some representatives from showing up to vote. Despite this scummy behavior, some Republicans are finally turning to common sense. Will it be enough to return us to normalcy? These individuals will need to be careful, as the middle of the road is a dangerous place to be.

To kick off the hour, Todd clarifies how bills get written in Wisconsin. Legislators and their staffers don’t write the bills by themselves, but with help from the Legislative Reference Bureau. He explains their role in our current map conflict, and despite the complicated situation, Todd thinks the solution is simple. He believes that Governor Tony Evers should stick to his word and sign the maps. Even if it is a trap, he will be able to say that he did what he set out to do. Many of our listeners have a different opinion.

At the bottom of the hour, we are excited to welcome Madison writer Doug Moe back to the show to talk about his current projects! A lot of legendary figures in entertainment have come from Madison, and Doug Moe is happy to chronicle their stories. Head on over to dougmoe.org to see what he’s up to.

Breaking news: a Middleton mainstay is leaving the community over the course of this year. The local corporate office of American Girl is closing down.

In the wake of yet another mass shooting, Todd reminds us that we need to vote for candidates who are serious about common sense gun control.

“OC” Eric Hovde is running for senate in his home state of California! Wait, that’s not right. He’s running against Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin. Rather than moving to the state he plans to run in, he’s following in the footsteps of failed gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels. Not only is he challenging an incredibly popular incumbent, he doesn’t even live in our state. We hear some personal stories of Baldwin’s humility and kindness from Todd and listeners.

Kira Sabin, host of the Reinventing Dating podcast, sticks with us for today’s bonus hour! Listen in for some simple tips to improve your relationship. Ultimately, the key to a successful relationship is communication. We hear that all the time, and it’s easier said than done, but Kira has suggestions based on psychology.

Todd asks Kira about a much more serious topic: online dating scams. According to NBC, the FBI says that “sextortion” is an increasing threat, where scammers convince people to send sexually explicit content. These scammers then use the content to blackmail individuals. How can we increase awareness, and what can people do to combat it?

Trygve Olson visited yesterday, but this Wednesday, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio still joins us. After some Valentine’s Day shenanigans, he and Todd talk about the new maps approved by the state legislature. Even though it passed the senate, Pat believes that there is still time for this situation to fall apart. As Admiral Ackbar says, it’s a trap! While the Evers maps are an improvement, they may still be unconstitutional, so we could be opening the state up to further litigation. Todd believes that Evers should keep to his word and sign the maps if they hit his desk, but Pat isn’t completely certain.

After hearing your opinions on the new maps, Todd updates us on the latest news from Do-Nothing Derrick Van Orden. Lately, Van Orden claims that we have no responsibility to protect Ukraine. Under the Clinton administration, the US agreed to intervene in the event of Russian aggression in exchange for nuclear de-escalation. In his willingness to abandon Ukraine, Derrick Van Orden is defying his Navy SEAL training and leaving an ally behind.

On today’s bonus hour, Todd brings us some national news on Donald Trump’s mounting legal struggles. Those in favor of giving complete legal immunity to United States presidents argue that a lack of immunity would lead to frivolous federal cases against all presidents. However, legal scholars and judges argue that this is incredibly unlikely. After all, we’ve made it hundreds of years without any indictments against presidents, haven’t we? Donald Trump is truly an anomaly in our history.

We also share some entertainment news! Katy Perry has announced that she is stepping down as a judge on American Idol.

This hour, we listen to the remarks of President Biden on Ukraine, Israel, and Donald Trump’s disregard of NATO. Biden’s pledge to support democracy and our allies lies in stark contrast to Trump’s ignorant and dismissive statement from over the weekend.

BREAKING NEWS: According to the Associated Press, Wisconsin’s state legislature has approved the new maps initially proposed by Governor Evers. The governor has declared that he will sign the maps into law if they pass his desk, provided they have not been tampered with as in previous drafts. The announcement of this decision sends us on a new Tuesday Tangent with Luke Mathers.

Recently, Tucker Carlson went to Russia to “interview” Vladimir Putin. Senator Ron Johnson, the pride of Wisconsin, is demonstrating his disdain for patriotism and democracy by declaring that Putin will win his war with Ukraine.

On today’s bonus hour, we learn that Mike Gallagher is not running for reelection! As the representative of Wisconsin’s 8th congressional district, he has toed the line of moderate conservatism and MAGA fascism. Most recently, he voted not to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, demonstrating a degree of common sense. Apparently, Gallagher’s dissidence has led to enough pressure that he is backing down from his position of power.

On the topic of Super Bowl advertisements, we take a call from a blind listener on the Google Pixel 8 commercial. Accessibility is incredibly important, and if you have any suggestions for Civic Media on that front, please reach out at info@civicmedia.us.

Do your representatives work for you? Well, if your top concern is outlawing horse beastiality in Wisconsin, the answer is… unclear.

Todd presents an article from Axios on Donald Trump’s latest schemes to deport millions of people from the US. He plans to abuse an obscure 1798 law to oust "illegals."

This hour, we continue discussing Donald Trump’s weekend remarks on global policy and military service. While many people fully subscribe to Trumpism, others believe that he has difficulty communicating what he actually means. Is Trump more moderate than he sounds, or is he truly authoritarian? We hear from listeners on this topic.

To lighten things up, Todd ends this hour with some thoughts on one of the greatest sports commentators of all time, Brent Musburger. Once the host of CBS’s Looking Live NFL coverage, Todd believes he deserves a spot in the hall of fame. Meanwhile, commentators like Tony Romo say essentially nothing in a ton of words.

The Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl LVIII! Unfortunately, this huge event distracts from some political weekend news. Donald Trump made two comments that demonstrate his unpatriotic nature and his lack of knowledge on international affairs. Todd plays these statements before taking your calls.

Firstly, regarding NATO, members are encouraged to spend at least 2% of their GDP on defense. Donald Trump said that if a country doesn’t pay, he would encourage Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to that country. Clearly, he understands this policy as if it was a country club membership fee rather than an international alliance.

Additionally, Trump insulted an active duty service member. He attacked Nikki Haley’s husband, insinuating that his absence is due to marital issues and not active deployment. Haley retorted that those who do not respect the sacrifice of military members are undeserving of driver’s licenses, let alone holding elected office.

This weekend, if you live in or around Richland Center, you can listen to Super Bowl LVIII on WRCO 100.9 FM. Coverage starts at 1 pm with Civic Media sports reporter Mike Clemens. Todd talks with our long time contributor and friend Jeff Perry about the history of sports commentators.

Scams are on the rise! Remember, anybody can pretend to be somebody they’re not, so if anybody asks you for money via email or over the phone, be skeptical. Reach out to that person with methods you know to be accurate. For example, if you get a call claiming there has been fraud on your credit card, call them back with the number on the back of your card to ensure it’s a real alert. Also, who are older or younger people scammed more often? Todd brings us the answer.

Aaron’s board game of the week is Wyrmspan! Wyrmspan is a unique spin on Wingspan, a popular bird watching game. If you’ve ever thought about how cool it would be to research dragons, this game is for you. It eschews the bird theme (sorry, Jane Matenaer) for fantasy, and is available now from Stonemaier Games. It’s brand new, so you may not yet find it at your friendly local game store.

Today, former Maryland governor Larry Hogan is likely to announce that he’s running for senate as an anti-Trump Republican. He was one of the key players in No Labels, so this further dooms the third-party effort. However, for Hogan personally, his popularity makes this bid likely to pay off.

After the football discussion, Peter Rapine of eBaum’s World joins us for another week in review! From celebrity lookalikes to spy pigeons in prison, truth is stranger than fiction. Ultimately, when it comes down to it, as much craziness goes on in the world, good art can still bring us together. Check out a touching story on little kids enjoying some John Denver at eBaum’s World.

After yesterday’s news that Biden will not be prosecuted for his handling of classified documents, he held a press conference. The Hur report had an undue and unprofessional focus on Biden’s mental health. We take your calls on how our president is doing, and how none of us are qualified to make that determination in the first place.

Coming this Sunday, Super Bowl LVIII (that’s 58 for those of you who don’t know Roman numerals) will be broadcast on CBS! Former Badger and NFL fullback Bradie Ewing weighs in with his two cents on the game. He and Todd also discuss the best ways to celebrate the Super Bowl, and which snacks you should be eating.

This hour, we take your calls on two main ideas. Firstly, we wrap up last hour’s discussion with Keegan Kelly on offensive humor. If a joke makes somebody upset, is that a problem? If so, who is responsible for solving it? Ultimately, while individuals have the right to simply avoid humor they don’t like, creators and comedians are also responsible for considering the effects of their actions. They also must be open to criticism from the groups that they make light of, and be willing to change their approach.

Simultaneously, we hear your thoughts on a different topic. Special counsel Robert Hur has determined that President Biden’s handling of classified documents has been problematic, but because he cooperated to remedy the situation, he will not be prosecuted. This begs the question: has any president in modern US history handled their paperwork according to procedure 100% of the time?

Nikki Haley has been honest on the campaign trail about the failures of MAGA. Todd takes your calls to talk about the state of the Republican party in the House of Representatives.

After that, Keegan Kelly of Cracked.com returns to talk about the most bizarre TV show he’s ever heard of. In an oasis in Saudi Arabia, Kelsey Grammer and Wesley Snipes join other 90’s TV stars as they film the third season of Paper Empire. However, the first two seasons are nowhere to be found. Is it money laundering? Is it a convoluted marketing ploy? Keegan gives us all the info he could find.

Next up, has South Park somehow made people more easily offended by jokes? This idea seems to defy the off-color content of the show, but there is a point to be made here. Keegan explains the line of thought.

As you may know, Colorado and New York have banned Donald Trump from the presidential ballot. These states claim that due to his participation in an insurrection, the constitution renders him ineligible. Todd brings us some information from the Congressional Research Service on how section three of the 14th amendment may apply. Ultimately, it comes down to the language of the constitution, or how many gifts Clarence Thomas has received from interested parties.

We wrap up the hour with a discussion of the future of the show. Maybe Todd can do some live speed dating, featuring local cowboys!

Just a few minutes before this hour, we discovered that the MAGA-strangled House of Representatives failed to pass the bipartisan border bill. This bill would have improved how America handles its Southern border. Importantly, funding to help defend Ukraine from Russia was also tied to this bill, edging us ever closer to a potential WWIII.

Also: what would happen if the draft were invoked again? Aaron shares his position, that he would never serve under Donald Trump, but would gladly defend democracy against Putin. We take a ton of calls on the draft and what it means to serve your country.

Much like Jim Carrey’s character in Liar Liar, Todd has unpaid parking tickets. Sit back and enjoy as Todd regales us with his tales of Green Bay bureaucracy. He has some great suggestions to make parking easier in the city, and perhaps one day, he will run for mayor.

After that, we move on from traffic violations to sitcom jokes. Tara Ariano of Cracked.com and Extra Hot Great returns to the show to tell us about the 100 best sitcom punchlines. From MAS*H to All In the Family, hear some of Todd and Tara’s favorites! You can check out the article at Cracked.com to see the rest of the list.

It’s Hump Day once again, and the gang’s all here! We hear from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project on issues around the state and the nation. Derrick “Do-Nothing” Van Orden is living up to his new nickname, as he and his MAGA colleagues refuse to accomplish anything in the House of Representatives. Trump’s followers are stalling to avoid giving Biden a victory, endangering the entire world in the process. Van Orden himself is simply too busy complaining about the lack of Free Bird in the Culver’s playlist.

As regular listeners may know, Trygve Olson has traveled Eastern Europe, campaigning to promote democracy. He has a deep insight into how politics work in places like Ukraine and Russia, and the consequences of the House’s inaction could be dire. We cannot appease Russia, and thus we must continue to support Ukraine.

Todd is back, and he comes to us live from the WGBW studios in Green Bay! A lot happened over the weekend, but Todd focuses on nothing- more specifically, the “nothing” that MAGA Mike Johnson accomplished on the border. The bipartisan bill was declared “dead on arrival” because Donald Trump is still calling the shots, and he refuses to allow Biden to look good. Trump and his followers would throw the whole world under the bus to get ahead, and that’s just what they’re doing with this bill. Additionally, the MAGA movement is still holding aid to Ukraine hostage.

On another edition of Tuesday Tangents, Luke Mathers joins Todd to lament the fact that the GOP-controlled House of Representatives refuses to do anything during this election year.

Following up on last week’s discussion about the January 6th “hostages” and Derrick Van Orden, Todd brings us the news that another prominent rioter has been sentenced. The individual who brought the confederate flag into the capitol building and attacked a Black police officer with it is facing justice.

What kind of a man is Joe Biden? Many people say that they vote for the presidential candidate they’d like to have as a neighbor. Donald Trump is a thief, rapist, and wannabe dictator. We share some audio of Biden that demonstrates his values, and the two could not be more different.

We wrap up today’s show with another fun animal story. Todd and Aaron celebrate the life of Walnut, the white-naped crane. Her story is one of interspecies romance. She rejected the advances of male cranes, but fell for one of her zookeepers, and the rest is history.

Todd had to be out for family business again, so he and Aaron prerecorded a new show over the weekend. First, we cover the news of the weekend. Tomorrow, Nevada will host their Republican primary, but the results will be of little consequence. The party has said that they will use the February 8th caucus to determine the state’s electors instead, and that Donald Trump is the predetermined victor. Once again, the MAGA movement shows their blatant disregard for democracy.

Next, Todd shares the sad story of Dean Phillips. The Wisconsin supreme court unanimously ruled that Phillips, a relatively unknown presidential candidate, must be added to the ballot. Phillips is irrelevant to this upcoming election, and may even be detrimental, taking votes away from candidates who have a chance. Todd is in favor of giving everybody a fair chance, but in this case, Dean Phillips has had a chance, and failed to make his mark.

After that, Todd sets some time aside to cover a story that’s been on his mind for some time now. The rise of online shopping has led to a massive increase in packages that need to be delivered. In urban areas, these logistics are easy to figure out, as private delivery services, such as Amazon’s delivery trucks, pick up a lot of the load. However, these private companies typically decline to serve rural areas, leaving the USPS to deliver far more packages without additional staff. In some cases, post offices have also been instructed to prioritize Amazon packages, leading to delays in very important mail, like social security checks or paper bills. Ultimately, the United States Postal Service is integral to the lives of many Americans, and we must appropriately support it.

After a fantastic discussion on the humanity of football, Trygve Olson pivots to discussing Wisconsin politics. Craig Gilbert of the Marquette Law School Poll is an expert on voting patterns in Wisconsin, so we are excited to bring him on to talk about our importance in the ‘24 presidential election. Gilbert elaborates on the possibilities of Wisconsin’s new maps, and the role that split ticket voters play in our state.

After that discussion, Trygve continues the discussion on split ticket voters. It may seem confusing that some people voted for both Tony Evers and Ron Johnson, but it comes from a logical place.

Aaron’s board game of the week is Kiri-Ai: The Duel! In this simple and quick card game, each player takes the role of a samurai in a duel to the death. You choose your actions and reveal them simultaneously, and the first to take two hits loses. This game is very new, so it may not yet be at your friendly local game store, but it’s always worth checking there first to support local businesses.

Happy Groundhog Day!

Todd is out on family business again, so Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project graciously agreed to guest host today! He invites Tyler Dunne, a former Packers beat writer for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and current writer and host of the website and podcast Go Long. Go Long is dedicated to “pulling back the curtain” to show the real human stories behind the NFL, and you can head over to GoLongTD.com to check it out.

Trygve and Tyler have a history. At the Journal Sentinel, Tyler would ask Trygve questions about politics, and Trygve would ask Tyler about football. Today they join forces once more to focus on the football side of things. They talk about the Super Bowl, the future of the Packers, and how great Green Bay is.

After leaving us hanging, Todd finishes up with the most recent numbers from Fox News polls. Remember, while their news is bogus, the polls are handled separately and tend to be accurate. The Democratic party has more than double the cash on hand of the Republican party, and polling is falling in favor of Joe Biden, especially among women.

To finish off today’s show, local renaissance man John Roach returns to the show. As a screenwriter, filmmaker, and Wisconsinite, he always has great stories to tell. He and Todd talk sports before John shares some of his creative process with us. The environment you work in can have a huge impact on what you create.

Afterwards, John Roach weighs in on yesterday’s show on conspiracy theories about Taylor Swift. These theories serve to highlight the cognitive dissonance of Trumpism. Are Democrats incompetent, or are they masterminds? If Republicans love self-made capitalists, why do they hate Taylor Swift so much?

Happy February!

As Jay Rothman and the UW Board of Regents closes down two-year campuses across our state, Todd has called time and time again for Tony Evers and other Democrats to speak up. Nobody wants to say anything to defend our great higher education system. Well, Governor Evers has finally broken the silence– only to say that there will be more to come.

If you’re concerned about the Governor’s response to the closure of UW campuses, you can contact him at evers.wi.gov or by calling (608) 266-1212.

After that, Todd moves on to some national news: the Republican party is broke! They only have $8 million cash on hand, which is the lowest since after the 2016 election. Democrats, on the other hand, have over $21 million. If you or a business you run intends to contract with the RNC for the convention in Milwaukee, do yourself a favor and get paid up front.

Earlier in the show, we got so many calls on Taylor Swift that we didn’t get to tell the whole story. In this hour, we share what show hosts on Fox and Newsmax are saying, as well as Taylor Swift’s personal justification for making political statements. While some say that celebrities should just shut up and do their jobs, they share our same freedom of speech. Everyone gets to determine their own political involvement. Even still, Taylor has minimized her opinions, focusing instead on registering people to vote regardless of their affiliation.

Continuing the discussion, we take several more calls on free speech and Taylor Swift as a role model for young girls. We finish up the Swift discussion with some words from Fox Sports analyst Colin Cowherd. While Todd may disagree with his positions on sports, when it comes to Swifties, he’s right on the money. The people hating on Taylor Swift’s presence at NFL games aren’t angry that a celebrity is getting camera time. They’re angry that a successful woman is getting camera time– a measly 25 seconds per game.

To wrap up, Todd dedicates a moment to the great American author Zane Grey, sharing how you can be a great person in just 83 words.

Today, we invite former Wisconsin governor Scott Walker to the show to discuss his angry tweets about Taylor Swift. To the surprise of nobody, he doesn’t show up, so we instead speak with Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project. One big question is on our minds: why does the MAGA movement hate T Swift so much? We take your calls on this fiery topic.

Ultimately, one of our callers says it best: celebrities have the political sway they do because many Americans simply cannot relate to politicians.

Listen to UpNorthNews Radio with Pat Kreitlow across the Civic Media network from 6-8 am on weekdays! You can also follow Trygve Olson on Twitter/X @TrygveOlson.

We begin this hour by wrapping up our conversation on Derrick Van Orden’s hypocrisy, taking a few more of your calls and comments. Not only does Van Orden fail to actually support police, he lacks the moral integrity to acknowledge that Donald Trump is a liable rapist. He claims that the verdict of Trump’s latest civil case is a farce and a stain on the court system. Why should we support a representative who talks big about law and order while endorsing a candidate who explicitly intends to ignore the law?

Next up is some more Hot Air From the Capitol! Last week, Ron Tusler (R- Harrison) cited the Bible to talk about abortion, claiming that there are multiple instances where God forced a woman to give birth against her will and/or personal health. Aaron and Todd both know these Bible stories, and Tusler has warped these miracles into curses. Ultimately though, these Bible stories should have absolutely no bearing on legislation. America boasts freedom of religion, and we must preserve that right.

Also last week, Bob Uecker turned 90 years young! We take a call from our friend Jeff Perry to celebrate the ongoing legacy of Mr. Baseball himself.

Coming up tomorrow on The Todd Allbaugh Show, Trygve Olson returns to talk about why the MAGA movement hates Taylor Swift so much. Former WI governor Scott Walker is invited to the conversation! Will he join us? Tune in on Wednesday to find out!

Derrick Van Orden is up to his old tricks. Over the weekend, he announced that he’s running for reelection as congressman of Wisconsin’s 3rd district. In his video, he’s wearing flannel, jeans, and a ball cap, playing the role of the good-natured rural Wisconsinite. However, there’s something that he wants you to forget about: Van Orden was at the Capitol during the January 6th insurrection. He says he backs the blue, but he still supports Trump, a man who stands firmly against the rule of law, referring to J6 insurrectionists as “hostages.”

Todd brings us legal documents on one of these January 6th rioters to provide an example of the kinds of people Trump would pardon.

Luke Mathers, Civic Media’s Executive Producer, returns for some more Tuesday Tangents! He weighs in on Derrick Van Orden’s hollow promises to “back the blue.” After taking your calls, Luke gives a quick overview of the new coach for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Vote Vets, an organization representing the interests of American veterans, have released a new advertisement calling out Donald Trump’s disdain for those who have served. Trump dodged the Vietnam draft and continues to refer to those who lost their lives in service “losers” and “suckers.” This ad collects his quotes and elevates the voices of gold star families, or those who have lost loved ones in the military. Todd has a deep respect for anybody who risks their life to defend our country, and he finds it appalling that someone so callous could once again become commander-in-chief.

After that, Todd moves to cover entertainment. The Maga movement hates Taylor Swift. Perhaps it’s because of her efforts to increase voter turnout, or maybe it’s just resentment because she’s a self-built successful woman. Todd addresses some of the latest complaining that she’s “ruining football” by showing up at Kansas City Chiefs games to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

On the topic of football, this year’s Super Bowl is set to be an interesting game. The 49’ers have had a poor defensive showing this season, and the Chiefs are riding a wave of success, leading us to what Todd believes will be a complete wipeout. Todd takes your calls on what’s worse between an unexciting blowout game or a rematch between Biden and Trump in the general election.

Finally, we wrap up today’s show with something a bit more lighthearted: a compilation of weather reports from a gen Z reporter. Kellin Harmon is an Emmy award-winning weatherman in North Dakota, and he tells it like it is. On location in icy storms, he explains the conditions directly: it sucks. Todd and Aaron hope that more news outlets follow in this style where appropriate.

Todd is back in the Madison studio this Monday! He brings us breaking news on a potential border bill agreement. Senators Chris Murphy (D-CT), James Lankford (R-OK), and Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) are finishing up a draft of this compromise, and President Biden has declared that he will sign it into law if it passes his desk. The Republican party is blocking aid to Ukraine and Israel until a serious bill revising our border security is passed. Senator Lankford says this bill hits all the marks, but because he’s collaborating with Democrats, his own state has censured him. We share Donald Trump and sen. Lankford’s conflicting public statements.

Ultimately though, Lankford still supports Donald Trump despite his liability for sexual assault, proving his loyalty to MAGA. Will his efforts to work together bring some sanity back to the Republican party? Todd finds this incredibly unlikely. Trumpism demands 100% compliance, and any deviation is punished by stripping the offender of their power and publicly ostracizing them. As Matt Flynn says, fascism creeps in on little cats’ feet, but right now, it’s sounding more like a crash of RINOs.

Todd takes more calls on the demeaning and demoralizing language and actions of many of our politicians. People like Derrick Van Orden do not represent the communities of Wisconsin. We are better together, and somebody who participates in insurrection and verbally abuses teenagers divides us apart. He also still actively supports Donald Trump’s threats and promises to become a dictator and destroy all opposition should he be elected President.

President Biden has always been open about his speech impediment, but many Republicans incessantly mock his disability. As our callers remind us, Biden is above these bullies, making the best of his situation to remain connected to the average American and help them in their struggles. A video from a few years ago showcases Biden coaching a young boy through speaking with a stutter. Todd also recommends an article at The Atlantic from a few years ago on Biden’s efforts to work with his disability.

To finish up the show, Peter Rapine of eBaum’s World brings us the lighter news of the week. Did you know that you can get kicked off of an airplane for farting? Neither did we! This week in review features several stories on breaking wind before moving on to fake ice cream and cryptocurrency scams.

Todd rounds out his impromptu Winter tour of Wisconsin, broadcasting live from our WBZH studios in Hayward! In traveling around the Northern half of the state, Todd has gotten to spend time with a lot of Wisconsinites, and we truly are more alike than we are different.

Unfortunately, most Republican leadership nationwide focuses their efforts on stoking fear and sowing discord. Wisconsin’s Republican legislators have proposed a total abortion ban after 14 weeks of development, despite most women not knowing that they’re pregnant until well after 20 weeks. Representative Joel Kitchens claims that his experience as a veterinarian gives him the knowledge to overrule the opinions of OBGYNs, comparing human women to livestock and pets.

This kind of rhetoric is nothing new. 13 years ago, Rebecca Kleefisch said that marriage equality was “a slippery slope,” stating that it was only a matter of time before we allow people to marry clocks, tables, and dogs.

We take your calls on these mean-spirited actions by our state’s Republican party.

For the first half of this hour, we bring you the remarks of President Joe Biden live from Superior, Wisconsin. He speaks on making investments in America, from building infrastructure to reducing prescription drug prices. Civic Media News Director Terry Bell provides some analysis with Todd to wrap up discussion on the Blatnik Bridge.

You’ve heard her on As Goes Wisconsin and now Matenaer On Air, but how well do you really know Jane Matenaer? A seasoned broadcast professional and Waukesha radio stalwart, Jane walks us through her journey from broadcast student to talk show host. Starting her career in a time when media was even more dominated by men, she has pushed to amplify women’s voices, including her own. She shares Todd’s passion for being yourself on the radio, and it shows in her excellent work.

This afternoon President Biden speaks in Superior, Wisconsin on how his administration has been investing in America. As a result of bipartisan infrastructure legislation, one billion dollars are to be spent in Duluth and Superior to replace the Blatnik Bridge. Todd broadcasts live from Superior with a (foggy) view of the bridge to celebrate this historic moment. Former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Bob Jauch also joins the discussion! As a native of the area, he truly understands the cultural and financial impact of this bridge on both Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Ben Wikler, Chairman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, also chimes in on what can happen when the political parties stop bickering and work for their constituents. While Republican legislators in both Wisconsin and Minnesota voted against this bill, it did pass, and the people of both states will benefit greatly. Hopefully this success can inspire even more bipartisan collaboration, and if not, perhaps citizens will elect new representatives who are willing to work together.

It’s Wednesday, and we haven’t forgotten our regular guest, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio. He and Chad Holmes of The Chad Holmes Show on Bull Falls Radio WXCO talk about living up North, higher education, healthcare, the New Hampshire primary, and… Batman’s nipples?

While in Wausau, Todd takes the opportunity to speak with Jeff Nania, a Wisconsin-born former law enforcement officer, writer, conservationist, and biofuel creator. Go to feetwetwriting.com to check out Jeff’s Northern Lakes Mystery series!

It’s Wednesday in Wausau! Todd comes to us live from the Bull Falls Radio WXCO studios in Wausau, Wisconsin, featuring some guests from that part of the state. Dr. Gretel Stock is the Dean of the UW-Stevens Point Wausau campus, and she gives us the lowdown on what our state’s two-year campuses can do for your community. Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project also makes his regular Wednesday visit, and as a UW System alum, he shares a passion for the importance of local colleges. Todd and Trygve take your calls on higher education in Wisconsin.

In today’s second hour, we are pleased to welcome another Senior Advisor to The Lincoln Project, Stuart Stevens, back to the show! Like Todd and Trygve, Stuart knows how the Republican party operates, and he wrote one of Todd's favorite books about it, titled It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump. Trygve also asks him about his new book, The Conspiracy To End America. He knows better than anyone else that Russia is a real threat to America and the world at large, and supporting Ukraine is supporting freedom. Trygve and Stuart also take your calls on questions about democracy, The Lincoln Project, political messaging, immigration, and more!

Todd is out for some family business today, so we leave the show in the capable hands of Trygve Olson! Trygve is a former Republican just like Todd, and now he works as a Senior Advisor to The Lincoln Project. He has traveled the world promoting democracy, earning the distinctive honor of being personally banned from Russia by Vladmir Putin. Having worked on presidential campaigns like that of John McCain, Trygve has a unique insider perspective on Republican politics, and he joins us today to talk about the New Hampshire primary and what we can expect to see as this year's campaign progresses.

Trygve brings with him two other special guests. Right off the top of the show, we are excited to welcome legendary Democratic strategist and fellow Lincoln Project Senior Advisor Joe Trippi! Many Lincoln Project members are former Republicans, but the future of America is a bipartisan issue. Trippi complements Trygve's experience with an inside look from the left.

Following the remarks of Vice President Kamala Harris, we hear from our news team on the scene in Big Bend. Civic Media Southeast Wisconsin News Director Stuart J. Wattles shares what it’s like in the room with VP Harris, and how important it is that the Biden campaign continues to visit more rural areas and pay attention to what the people of America really want.

After wrapping up with Stuart, Todd takes your calls on reproductive freedom, featuring many tragic personal stories of miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. We thank our listeners for willing to be vulnerable and share these experiences. Even with modern medicine, these traumatic events and losses of life are all too common, and sweeping abortion bans make it nearly impossible for patients suffering from these situations to seek appropriate treatment. We cannot fully comprehend what these individuals go through, and that is why it is imperative for us to keep reproductive health decisions in the hands of patients and their doctors, rather than the government.

Todd brings today’s show to a close by updating us on a tragedy of a different sort. Over the weekend, Universities of Wisconsin (formerly the UW System) announced the end of in-person instruction at UW-Green Bay’s Marinette campus. As Todd has been saying for over a year now, UW-Platteville’s Richland Center campus was the canary in the coal mine for an increasingly rapid systematic starvation of our state’s higher education system.

Guest: Stuart J. Wattles

Todd is back in Madison after some relaxation with friends in Colorado. Two key events occurred while he was away: the closure of yet another two-year UW campus and the suspension of Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign. Todd talks about the UW debacle later in the show, choosing to first take your calls on DeSantis and his unsurprising endorsement of Donald Trump. Just six days before dropping out of the race, DeSantis spoke negatively of other Republicans “kissing Trump’s ring,” but ultimately, like nearly all other Republican leadership, he does not possess the willpower to resist kissing the ring himself. No matter how much Donald Trump personally insults people like Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, and their families, none of them are willing to risk their positions of power to do the right thing and condemn a would-be dictator.

Today is the 51st anniversary of the historic Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion and other reproductive care in our country. Vice President Kamala Harris is in Big Bend, Wisconsin today to speak about the current state of reproductive care in America, and we bring you some of her remarks before commenting on them.

Apparently, Americans are terrible at carrying out New Year’s resolutions. By the second Friday of the year, 80% of us have already given up on our goals for the new year. We take your calls on ways to stay determined to better yourself.

Luke also brings us some breaking news! Wisconsin Republicans have proposed a new bill that would ban abortion after 14 weeks of pregnancy. Clearly, they are not serious about governing for the people of wisconsin. The idea of an abortion ban is incredibly unpopular in our state, and Governor Evers has already promised to veto this bill when it comes across his desk.

Aaron’s board game of the week is Root! Choose one of four factions of woodland creatures and battle for dominance of the forest. This game is highly asymmetrical, meaning that each animal plays very differently, bringing a lot of replay value. This is the most complicated board game Aaron has brought to us, but if you have a group of 2-4 people who are ready to learn the rules, it’s a very rewarding experience. Several expansions are available to ratchet it up even further.

Todd isn’t around today, but we still have a fresh show for you! Luke Mathers is filling in for the Toddfather on a well-deserved day off. We kick off the day by returning to a discussion Todd started on Wednesday: how is our economy really doing? The Wall Street Journal today follows in the footsteps of Axios with an article on the average American’s financial situation. Things are looking up, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to sit back and celebrate. While approximately 60% of Americans are happy about where they’re with, we must do what we can to help out the other 40%. Aaron and Luke take your calls about economic growth, corporate greed, and political messaging.

This hour, we are pleased to welcome Jimmie Kaska, Civic Media’s Sports Director and Digital Content Director. Also a member of the Boscobel school board, Jimmie has a lot to say about the changing landscape of education in our state. While many financial trends are concerning, it’s not all bad. Our expert educators are addressing the future of AI, STEM, and partnerships with community colleges and tech schools.

Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio stops in during our last half hour to further explain the consequences of spending state money on private schools. As he says, the Venn diagram of people defunding education and people fighting to destroy democracy is a circle. Pat and Todd also discuss State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly’s push for students to have the freedom to read.

Todd comes to us live from Milwaukee at the Wisconsin State Education Convention! Our schools are the heart of our communities, and we must provide the support they need. Todd takes your calls on the politics surrounding public education in Wisconsin, talking primarily about private school voucher programs taking money from public schools. Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio calls in to give his perspective as a former legislator.

Todd also takes a call about why he left the Republican party. Ultimately though, it was the Republican party that left him. Todd’s values have remained largely the same, but his former party has resorted to fear-based politics. Modern Republican leadership seeks to divide us, starving out public education and suppressing minority voters.

Guest: Pat Kreitlow

The economy is an eternal talking point for campaigning politicians, but how is the average American really impacted? Axios published an article exploring the results of a recent poll. The biggest takeaway? The way a question is asked is as important as the question itself. When asked about the economy, people are quick to share what they’ve heard about how poorly we’re allegedly doing under President Biden. However, when asked what their personal financial situation looks like, Americans are expressing optimism for 2024. Todd talks us through the poll results, sharing some financial thoughts from listeners along the way.

On the topic of personal finance, Todd shares another story on Amazon’s recent investment into Bally Sports. It feels like streaming services take on more of the trappings of cable TV every day. Soon, for better or worse, many sports will be available only through an additional charge on Amazon Prime Video. Todd takes your opinions on this development.

On this Crossover Wednesday, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project provide their perspective on the results of the Iowa caucus. They also take a moment to share a new ad from The Lincoln Project called God Made a Dictator. Recently, Trump’s campaign used AI to spoof the classic Paul Harvey radio spot, God Made a Farmer, turning it into a self-aggrandizing worship piece called God Made Trump. Created by Rick Wilson, the new Lincoln Project video shows historical dictators, comparing their behavior to that of Donald Trump, culminating in a powerful call to action for the American people. While particularly poignant for Christians, Pat asserts that it presents a compelling case for anybody who listens all the way to the end.

Trygve Olson sticks around to dive deeper into this year’s presidential campaigns. While Nikki Haley is shaping up to be Donald Trump’s primary competition, she still refuses to condemn him for his actions. Despite being the only woman on the campaign trail, when asked about Trump’s sexual assault case, Haley deflects the question. After letting us know what to look for in next week’s New Hampshire caucus, Todd and Trygve move on to talk Packers and celebrate their unexpected success.

Looking for more Pat Kreitlow? We’ll have him with us tomorrow as Todd travels to Milwaukee to talk public education with educators from around the state. Of course, you can also hear him on UpNorthNews Radio weekdays from 6-8 am across the Civic Media radio network, and on our app.

For today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd pits political allegiances against loyalty to sports teams. Donald Trump says that his supporters must vote for him no matter the cost, and that even if they die in the process, it will be worth it. Meanwhile, nearly every sports analyst predicted that the Dallas Cowboys would win over the Green Bay Packers last Sunday, and we know how that turned out. We take your calls on poor prognostication and lethal loyalty.

While taking your calls, our conversation takes an unexpected turn. Voting rights are called into question as we discuss driver’s licenses for undocumented folks. We learn together that 17 municipalities across the US allow these individuals to vote on local matters. A spirited discussion ensues on where we draw the line between human rights and citizenship.

Last night, the Iowa caucus was held in Dubuque, with Donald Trump predictably winning at approximately 51% of the vote. Todd goes over the detailed results of the polls, showing that 82% of Iowans at the caucus believe the 2020 election was dishonest. If those individuals think Trump is the rightful president, why did they not vote for him? Luke Mathers has some thoughts, so he joins us to dissect the results on today’s edition of Tuesday Tangents. He and Todd also wrap up the hour with a discussion on Sunday’s incredible showing by the Packers and the perils of customer service.

To celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we are pleased to welcome professor Dante King, author of The 400 Year Holocaust: White America’s Legal, Psychopathic, and Sociopathic Black Genocide - and the Revolt Against Critical Race Theory. Charlie Kirk is leading the charge on a new movement that denies the legacy of MLK, and Dante King’s research on racism and white supremacy provides some insight into this frightening and concerning behavior. The current Republican party campaigns by exploiting the fears of Americans and leaning into racism, but King asserts that this problem is nothing new. He provides a brief overview of the roots of American racism and white supremacy, extending hundreds of years into the past, before talking through some actions we can take to combat this cultural disease.

The Pack is back! The Green Bay Packers absolutely dominated the Dallas Cowboys yesterday, officially surpassing the Cowboys in playoff game wins at their own stadium. Todd takes a moment to appreciate the whole team, paying special attention to Jordan Love and his good deeds on and off the field.

Today, Republicans in Dubuque will vote in the Iowa Caucus. Donald Trump is expected to win, and as we reach crunch time in the 2024 presidential campaign season, Republicans around the country are rushing to support him. We bring you some of their statements past and present, as well as Trump’s own words about how little he values the lives of his supporters.

We are excited to welcome Kristian Jensen back to the show! Formerly the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the country of Denmark, Mr. Jensen is the CEO of Green Power Denmark, using his global political experience to further the development of renewable energy. He shares a European perspective on current affairs in America and around the world, including the American presidential election, the Israel-Hamas war, and of course, renewable energy.

This hour, Todd invites his friend and former roommate Alex Henvey to give his predictions for the weekend as the Packers take on the Cowboys in Dallas. As a Texan, Alex disagrees with Todd on how the game will go, but only time will tell who is on the money. Also, Todd shares the thoughts of Charles Barkley on streaming sports. As more and more games become exclusive to Peacock or Amazon Prime, streaming services emulate all the worst aspects of cable TV.

It finally feels like Winter in the midwest. Huge storms rage across our state, so please keep an eye on the weather and avoid travel when possible. Iowa is also getting its fair share of frigid conditions as we approach the Republican caucus, drawing ire from Trump acolytes like Laura Loomer who claim that Nikki Haley and the Democrats are working together to manipulate the weather. That’s right, climate change isn’t real until it’s convenient to believe that the left is behind it.

Not to be left behind by the other far-right nutjobs, Donald Trump, Jr. is running his mouth on alleged “RINOs” like Paul Ryan, saying that if he does not show up to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, “nobody will give a damn.”

The US and UK have carried out a joint strike on Houthi territory, retaliating against terrorist attacks on commercial boats. To finish today’s unholy trinity of political nonsense, both Republican and Democratic senators claim that President Biden has acted illegally by carrying out this strike without senate approval. This is simply false. Todd takes your calls on all three of these issues.

Built in 1854 on what is now Nakoma Road in Madison, the Old Spring Tavern stands proud as a reminder of our state’s rich history. However, the same respect is not extended to a healthy tree that has stood outside the building for the last 200 years. In the interest of development, this tree is set to be cut down despite the city of Madison apparently failing to fulfill its obligation to notify the surrounding area ahead of time. Todd updates us on this predicament.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rogers has run his mouth one too many times, finding himself banned from The Pat McAfee Show after insinuating that late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel is a pedophile. Rogers claimed that Kimmel was “nervous” about the Jeffrey Epstein flight logs being made public, implying that the comedian’s name would be found among Epstein’s passengers. Jimmy Kimmel’s response to these baseless accusations during his show on Monday night affirms that his jokes are based on facts. While Aaron Rogers may be upset that Kimmel jokes about his hairstyle or his medical opinions, that does not give him the right to spread lies that damage people’s reputations.

Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie has read the writing on the wall and officially suspended his presidential campaign. As the only candidate to fully condemn Donald Trump, we are sad to see him go. Christie gave a great speech last night, emphasizing Trump’s narcissistic and autocratic tendencies. He also “accidentally” expressed his opinions on the DeSantis and Haley campaigns. We take your calls on former Trump supporters like Paul Ryan, Andrew Hitt, and Chris Christie: how much should we forgive them for their previous actions? Todd believes that while we cannot forget how they have harmed democracy, we must accept their extended olive branches while we face the greater evil of Trump himself. Only by coming together as Americans can we ensure the future of Democracy.

Speaker Mike Johnson has struck a deal on the federal budget with Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. This surprisingly pragmatic move will keep government agencies open without further continuing resolutions. However, this begs the question: why is Mike Johnson allowed to make deals? When Kevin McCarthy attempted to approve a nearly identical budget, he lost his position as Speaker of the House. Todd takes your calls on this quandary, also asking what you would prioritize if you could write the federal budget.

Also, Civic Media News Director Terry Bell updates us on the results of a bet between Todd, Luke, and himself.

Donald Trump’s lawyers are throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. They now argue that unless a United States President is impeached and removed from office, they are completely immune to any and all legal prosecution. This includes the specific examples of selling state secrets, selling pardons, and even sending Seal Team 6 to assassinate political rivals. Clearly, this is absolute nonsense, so why are they even presenting this argument? Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project share their opinions before we welcome our friend Matt Flynn of Matt Flynn - Direct. Matt is an attorney, and he believes that this venture is destined to fail.

Donald Trump has also failed to sign paperwork in the state of Illinois certifying that he will not try to overthrow the government if he loses the election. By electing not to do this, he is essentially declaring that he does indeed intend to overthrow the government. This comes as no surprise, as Trygve has been telling us about Trump’s autocratic signals for months.

Wisconsin may soon legalize medical marijuana! Defying expectations, a new Republican bill puts pot back on the table for those with chronic pain and other medical conditions. Is this an honest effort, or pandering for votes? Does it matter? We take your calls to talk about the pros and cons of this surprising development.

Afterwards, Brian VanHooker of Cracked.com joins us once again, this time to discuss an article he wrote about watching 24 hours of a never-ending AI-generated episode of Seinfeld called Nothing, Forever. In short, it is simply awful. Even more so than the original show, this 24/7 stream is truly a show about nothing. Listen in to hear Brian’s tales of a secret goblin who may be watching us all.

Winter storm advisories and warnings continue to develop across the state. Stay safe out there! If you must travel, you can use 511WI.gov to monitor road conditions on your route.

What’s the best way to spend a snow day? Many school districts around the state have one today, so we take your calls and texts on wintertime activities for kids and families. Luke Mathers joins in for an edition of Tuesday Tangents, sharing his own childhood snow day memories and comparing them to the experiences of students today. Today’s tangents also extend to sports, covering the struggles of the Milwaukee Bucks and the unexpected success of Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers.

Continuing our discussion from today’s first hour, Todd takes your calls on Donald Trump and Elise Stefanik’s portrayals of rioters from January 6th as patriots being held hostage by Democrats. Several callers posit that Donald Trump does not demonstrate a particularly deep understanding of either history or politics, and they are correct. Ultimately, Trump focuses on oversimplifying complex issues, distilling them down to catchphrases and repetitive talking points that play on people’s fears.

Since the inception of the MAGA movement, far-right extremists have self-identified as patriotic American Revolutionaries, but that could not be further from the truth. This past weekend, acclaimed historian and author Heather Cox Richardson published an essay comparing the actions of January 6th rioters and insurrectionists to those of actual 1770s Americans, and the contrasts are stark.

Todd also brings us a concerning story from the Las Vegas Review Journal. Wall Street conglomerates have been rapidly purchasing hundreds of homes in Las Vegas to artificially raise housing costs. This practice could very well come to Wisconsin if we aren’t careful. Todd urges Wisconsin legislators to preemptively protect the people of our state from being priced out of their own homes.

Over the weekend, Donald Trump and his acolytes have added a new catchphrase to their repetitive lexicon: January 6th hostages. This phrase refers to the convicted felons who stormed the capital in 2021, but as Todd explains, they do not actually meet the definition of hostages. One of the biggest offenders is Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, who parroted Trump’s words on Meet the Press this weekend, claiming that these individuals are in prison for being patriots and/or Catholic, despite the fact that many of them plead guilty. We compare her statements to those of Congressman Jamie Raskin and former Vice President Mike Pence, who both refute the obvious falsehoods and contradictions in MAGA rhetoric surrounding January 6th.

In the second hour, Todd talks an abomination created by the MAGA crowd: God Made Trump, an AI take on Paul Harvey's "God Made A Farmer." After some breaking news about the resignation of NRA leader Wayne Lapierre, he talks with Peter Rapine of eBaum's World about UW-La Crosse chancellor (and pornstar) Joe Gow, diving deeper into his story and motives. Closing out, he covers more comical stories with Peter on Christopher Nolan getting trash talked by his fitness instructor, and on an unfortunate tattoo with double meaning.

Closing out the week, Todd reflects on the three year anniversary of the January 6th US capitol attack, what it truly meant, and why Donald Trump holds significant responsibility for it. In the second half of the hour he talks all things sports with 3 time football champ Bradie Ewing.

Todd begins this hour by taking more of your calls on immigration. We hear personal stories of immigration and varied opinions on how America should approach regulating our borders. Todd himself has some tales from inside and outside perspectives, having spent a great deal of time working in immigration and witnessing would-be Americans struggle to make their way from El Salvador.

Matt Solomon of Cracked.com makes his first visit of the year to talk about Saturday Night Live! After years of enjoying and crafting sketch comedy, he has a plan to revitalize the show, and he shares his thoughts with us. He believes that 20 or so people is simply too many for a 90 minute show, and it should be split into two teams that alternate weeks. This approach would allow for individual comedians to get more screen time and prove themselves, fostering some healthy competition along the way to bring out the best in everybody.

At Perry High School in Iowa, America’s first school shooting of 2024 took place, killing one and injuring five. Our hearts are with the victims and their families, and we will continue to advocate for common sense gun laws in any way we can.

Luke Mathers helps us kick off the year with some Thursday Tangents! He and Todd take your calls on immigration reform once again. As complex as this issue is, there are potential solutions, but both Republicans and Democrats must work together. The Dignity Act is one such piece of bipartisan legislation, but Republicans in the House of Representatives are unwilling to do anything that could make President Biden look good. In the words of Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX), “I’m not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat and to help Joe Biden’s approval rating.”

Luke will return again on Tuesday to share what’s been grinding his gears.

This hour, Todd elaborates further on what Donald Trump has done in the past and what America’s future could hold if he returns to office. We take more of your calls and texts on Trump’s actions. Should he be allowed on the ballot? Todd believes that the answer to that question should be left up to the law, and that we have to accept the outcome, whether he remains on the ballot or not. While laws change, America works best when we trust the procedures and institutions put in place to change them.

More disturbing developments about Christian Ziegler and the Moms For Liberty threesome scandal are bubbling to the surface. Allegedly, he filmed himself sexually assaulting a woman when she expressed a greater interest in his wife Bridget, proceeding to show this video to others in a likely violation of Florida law. Todd condemns these heinous acts and speaks on the hypocrisy of Bridget Ziegler and Moms For Liberty. Bridget Ziegler condemns all homosexuality and attempts to block LGBTQ+ folks from being themselves, while engaging in the same sexual activities behind closed doors.

We're back for the new year! To begin today’s show, Todd shares a heartfelt message for Kristin Brey of As Goes Wisconsin. She has accepted a position elsewhere, and she will share that information in her own time, but we at Civic Media are incredibly grateful for the time we have spent with such a talented host. Todd is also grateful to call her a true friend.

After that discussion, we welcome Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to share their opinions on new remarks from former Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. He continues to condemn Donald Trump, going as far as to say that Trump is everything that’s wrong with the Republican party. However, is this enough? Patt, Todd, and Trygve don’t think so. They believe Trump is dangerous enough that those in Paul Ryan’s position need to do everything in their power to stop him from getting back into office. We also take your calls on the topic, leading up to an important question: what are we so afraid of? What are the supposedly terrible things that Donald Trump has done and promises to do? The primary answer: insurrection. Listen in to hear more of Todd and Trygve's thoughts.

We begin the hour with a visit from Jorge Reyna, Civic Media’s Vice President of Marketing and the host of Mad Unity to talk about Christmas traditions in his home country of Guatemala. Civic Media News Director Terry Bell also joins in to share what his family gets up to. While practices vary around the world, a few things remain constant: a focus on spending time with family and enjoying delicious food.

Aaron provides three options of accessible games to play with your family this holiday season! Exploding Kittens, Rack-O, and Ticket To Ride are all easy-to-grasp games for all ages to enjoy. Check out Aaron’s Board Game of the Week list here to look at past entries.

To round out this holiday show, we let Linus tell Charlie Brown what Christmas is all about.

Todd begins this hour by wrapping up the last, taking a few more of your calls on what it means to be American. Afterward, Todd shares a story from our friends at Cracked.com about strange things college professors have done. Todd and Aaron also share a few of their own stories involving perhaps the most infamous “rule” in education: if the teacher isn’t there after 15 minutes, you’re allowed to leave.

You may know Matt Flynn as the host of his own show on Civic Media, but did you know that he’s also a published author? He joins us live to talk about his brand new book, The Court of Last Resort. This newest novel tells the tale of an ex-marine judge who carries out vigilante justice after his day job. Matt talks about his history with writing, and the experiences he’s had as an attorney that inspired this particular story.

Written on November 2nd, 1883, The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus is the perfect poem to represent the ideals of the United States of America. This country is supposed to be the world’s greatest cultural melting pot, accepting dreamers of all backgrounds who seek a better life. We may not always reach that lofty goal of equality and acceptance, but we can still do our best to form, as the constitution says, “a more perfect union.”

Todd reads this poem for us to contemplate and compare to the rhetoric of our presidential candidates. As much as we hate to bring him up, we cannot ignore Donald Trump, as he continues to stray further from the ideals that make our country successful. Rather than quoting the constitution, he quotes Adolf Hitler. Rather than embodying freedom for all, he seeks to force his beliefs onto others. Rather than carrying out the will of the people, he confirms his intent to be a dictator. Ultimately, he does not have our best interests at heart, and thinks only of himself.

Unless you are of Native American descent, we are all immigrants. Based on an idea as opposed to geography or ethnicity, our country is unlike any other, and we should hold on to what makes it special. Remember the words of Emma Lazarus, and lift your lamp for those in need. We must exercise our right to vote and preserve democracy, not for ourselves, but for our children, and all others who seek a better life in America.

How does Secret Santa work? After taking calls on the Emma Lazarus poem, Luke Mathers joins us for a Thursday edition of Tuesday Tangents. Aaron, Luke and Todd look to the text lines to see who is in the wrong about the rules of holiday gift exchanges.

Today, President Biden is scheduled to speak on Bidenomics at the Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce in Milwaukee. Earl Ingram of The Earl Ingram Show joins Civic Media News Director Terry Bell on the scene to provide commentary. As always on a Wednesday, we are also joined by Trygve Olson, Senior Advisor to The Lincoln Project. He and Todd discuss the future of Biden’s campaign, noting that this is far from his last visit, as Wisconsin continues to be the center of the political universe.

After breaking away to bring you President Biden’s remarks (which you can listen to here), Todd asks for your opinions. Biden touts job creation and economic growth, but what do you experience? We take several calls and gather varied opinions from across the whole state.

Todd spent our first hour interviewing three fantastic servicemen and women, but he doesn’t have to be the only one! Brigadier General David May takes your questions on the Wisconsin Air National Guard (ANG) in an exclusive Q&A session. The General brings us up to speed on recruitment and retention rates across the US armed forces, sharing his excitement about the opportunities available. He also addresses concerns of family support for servicemen and women, emphasizing family outreach and childcare programs. He and Captain Sara Eagle discuss methods that the ANG employs to minimize the amount of noise civilians are exposed to when F-35 jets fly overhead. The conversation comes to a close as Brigadier General May advises a former serviceman on how to get back into the ANG. It turns out that no matter your background, it’s very easy to see how you can get involved in serving your country.

If you’re intrigued and want to see how you can serve in the Wisconsin Air National Guard, head to www.goang.com to learn more.

Have you ever wondered what kind of music a fighter pilot or general listens to? To conclude our visit with Brigadier General David May, Todd invites him to share some of his favorite musical experiences. Just as a smell or taste can bring back vivid memories, music carries the power to capture a moment. Todd and General May discuss this phenomenon to the tune of artists such as Johnny Cash, The Beatles, AC/DC, and BB King.

Today, we are honored to welcome Brigadier General David May back to a very special edition of The Todd Allbaugh Show! As the commanding officer of the Wisconsin Air National Guard (ANG), Brigadier General May brings an inside look at what’s been going on with the ANG family since our last visit to Northern Lightning at Volk Field.

We also seize the incredible opportunity to interview Captain Sara Eagle and Airman First Class Chris Jones about their experiences getting into the Wisconsin ANG. Captain Eagle is an experienced F-35 pilot with a very fitting name. She shares what it’s like to have full control at incredible speeds and how it compares to the movies. We are proud to share her story and celebrate her as a role model for young girls who aspire to roles traditionally dominated by men. Airman First Class Jones is a newer recruit, currently in training for Explosive Ordnance Disposal. He joined the ANG expecting greatness, but the incredible skill, passion, and camaraderie he has found have blown him away. He also speaks on the joy of solving puzzles to defuse explosives and save lives. We are proud to share his story of personal growth and found family.

This hour, Todd emphasizes America’s need for independent journalists, celebrating the work of those we do have. Before that conversation, we address Donald Trump’s ever-astounding descent into blatant authoritarianism. We have already heard him admit that he will be a dictator on day one, just as he echoed Adolf Hitler in referring to his political opponents as vermin requiring extermination. Unsurprisingly, the comparisons to Hitler do not end there. He now claims that those he dislikes are “poisoning the blood” of America. Read more here.

Todd also takes a moment this afternoon to celebrate the life of former Badger basketball player Walt McGrory. May he rest in peace. We wish his family the best.

On the topic of independent journalism, ProPublica continues to keep us updated on the inside workings of the United States Supreme Court. This morning, they published a new article on Clarence Thomas and his alleged complaints about his compensation. It appears that the lavish gifts that he and other Justices have received are part of a corrupt scheme over 20 years in the making. We take your calls on this ridiculous abuse of power.

As legal cases against MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump develop, more Republicans are making public statements condemning Trump. With the Wisconsin false elector scheme civil suit now settled, Andrew Hitt has joined Paul Ryan in refusing to attend the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee if Trump is the nominee. At the same time, however, Hitt is claiming that he was duped into being part of that scheme. Todd has some doubts that such an experienced attorney could be thrown for a loop so easily.

After that discussion, we are joined by State Senator Kelda Roys for a year in review regarding women’s rights. As an attorney and legislator, Sen. Roys reminds us that reproductive freedoms are still very much in jeopardy in Wisconsin and across the nation. Contraception and abortion care are incredibly important to women’s health and freedom, and while Wisconsin is clawing its way back to normalcy, we still have a long way to go.

Our colleague Maggie Daun calls in to provide an attorney’s perspective on what may have been going on.

Peter Rapine, Managing Editor of eBaum’s World, returns to the show for a lighter look at the news of the week. He always brings us the news we really need, like how many animals were smuggled in underpants or how much CO2 Taylor Swift has emitted this week.

Last week, a public hearing was held on a new Republican senate bill that appears very hostile toward homeless or unhoused people.

After that discussion, longtime guest and friend Bradie Ewing returns to the show. As a former Badger and NFL player, he has some insight on the controversial topic of Name, Image and Likeness deals for college athletes. These days, thousands of college players enter the transfer portal as soon as it opens. Are they motivated by the money, or by better coaching or playing opportunities at other universities?

Last night, the UW Board of Regents reversed their decision on the deal struck by President Jay Rothman and Speaker Robin Vos, now approving several financial benefits for UW schools in exchange for “reimagining” the roles of some DEI employees. This whole situation is incredibly complex, but Todd’s unique life experience in Wisconsin politics and education allows him to break it down for us. Todd’s maternal grandmother, Marge Wallace, was the first woman to serve as a dean of a UW institution and was instrumental in getting UW Richland Center built.

From his time in politics, Todd knows that every successful campaign has a hero and a villain. Who are the heroes and villains in the Universities of Wisconsin debacle? Who were the winners and losers last night in this deal? Todd shares his opinions and takes your calls.

Todd uses the example of Chris Christie to call more Republicans to action in denying Trump the opportunity to seize power in our country.

Republican party leadership seems ever eager to deny aid to Ukraine, allowing Russia to escalate hostility. It’s easy to forget that even our own Ron Johnson spent Independence Day in Russia just a few short years ago.

First up on today’s show, we celebrate what would have been Bob Barker’s 100th birthday. As many said when he passed away, the host of The Price Is Right got as close to 100 as he could without going over.

Today, the Universities of Wisconsin’s Board of Regents meet to discuss the deal that they shot down last Friday. Will President Jay Rothman resign after this major fumble? Who could replace him? Todd shares some information from a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article by Kelly Meyerhoffer before making suggestions of his own.

Luke Mathers returns for a new edition of Tuesday Tangents, discussing how the UW System has been the punching bag of state Republican leadership for a long time now. He also shares what’s been grinding his gears: the excessive use of linoleum in the 90’s. Listen in to hear what he means!

Guest: Pete Schwaba

Over the weekend, the UW System Board of Regents shot down Jay Rothman’s deal with Robin Vos, leaving our state in limbo. Todd recaps the events that got us to this point and why Robin Vos has been able to block raises for UW employees for this long.

This hour, Todd brings us some brilliant questions asked by journalists at Jay Rothman’s virtual press conference. Robin Vos has gotten an incredible sweetheart deal, and people of color were completely absent from a discussion about DEI.

Aaron’s board game of the week is Sagrada! Compete to make the most beautiful stained glass window in a beautiful cathedral.

UW System President Jay Rothman held a press conference this morning via Zoom to announce a new funding deal with Speaker Robin Vos. UW employees will hopefully finally be getting the raises that were approved several months ago, but at what cost? Todd brings us audio from Jay Rothman himself explaining the situation. It appears to be a very sweet deal for Vos.

For today’s edition of What’s Worse, Todd brings us two sets of aging rock stars. Afterward, Keegan Kelly of Cracked.com returns to the show. He breaks into a group of “culture war comedians” known as the Manosphere, explaining the history and cultural impact.

Guest: Dan Shafer

Another important event rolled across the ticket this morning: television legend Norman Lear has passed away at the age of 101. We are honored to welcome fellow Wisconsinite and former President of Entertainment at CBS Kelly Kahl to talk about his time at CBS and the incredible impact of Norman Lear. He brings along his colleague and Norman Lear expert Jim McKairnes to provide even more background.

Guests: Kelly Kahl, Jim McKairnes

This morning, The Washington Post published an article by Patrick Marley updating the public on the Wisconsin fake elector scheme. The civil suit has been settled with a promise that the electors will not serve as electors in the future, but Jim Troupis and Kenneth Chesebro are not yet off the hook. We welcome Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio, Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project, and Matt Flynn of Matt Flynn Direct to provide their political and legal expertise on the situation. Afterward, Patrick Marley himself joins us to discuss his article.

Guests: Pat Kreitlow, Matt Flynn, Trygve Olson, Patrick Marley

BREAKING NEWS: Tommy Tuberville has almost come to his senses. He has dropped most of the holds on over 400 military promotions, but continues to block some of the most important holds at the top for four-star generals.

After following up on the rape allegations against Christian Ziegler, Luke comes back for another edition of Tuesday Tangents. He and Todd talk about the brand new nighttime Civic Media show, Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba, before updating us on sports around the state and the nation.

Guest: Luke Mathers

As you may have heard, the hate group Moms For Liberty has come under fire once again. Co-founder Bridget Ziegler and her husband have been involved in several hypocritical sexual relationships, allegedly including sexual assault. Todd tells us about these tragic events and their implications.

Major Garrett of CBS News released a report this morning on voter disenfranchisement in Georgia. Approximately 12,000 voters have been removed from the rolls, largely (if not entirely) due to clerical error or technical disqualifications. Todd takes your calls on the continued fallout of the 2020 election denial conspiracy theory.

On one of two National Pie Days, we take your calls on the best pie as we wish Aaron an early happy birthday.Afterwards, Peter Rapine of eBaum’s World returns for his biweekly visit to cover the most important news of the week, from holiday party hijinks to making out with wolves.

From Mike Johnson to Sports Illustrated, Todd brings us a few stories about what happens when you ignore simple questions.

We wish a very happy birthday to Todd’s sister, Heather!

Today, Todd comes to us live from the studio at 93.5 The Tap in Eau Claire with our friend and colleague Pat Kreitlow! They speak on developments in the UW System fiasco and upcoming elections in our state.

Afterwards, Todd makes good on a promise to tell us a story about former Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel.

Guest: Pat Kreitlow

Just over a year ago, Todd called attention to the canary in the coal mine that was the closure of UW Richland Center. Today, thanks to The Daily Cardinal, we have even more substantial evidence of UW President Jay Rothman’s failure to serve the people of Wisconsin. Todd continues this conversation and takes your calls.

Liam Beran at The Daily Cardinal in Madison has published exclusive coverage of the collapse of the UW System. President Jay Rothman literally called for chancellors to “shift away” from liberal arts education for low-income students. Todd, Pat Kreitlow, and Trygve Olson all share their thoughts and call Jay Rothman and Governor Evers to action.
