Trump Is Bringing In A Trojan Horse (Hour 1)
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.

Trump’s Crypto Grift Is Indeed A Grift (Hour 2)
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.

Adams County Attempts To Overturn An Election (Hour 1)
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.

Evers vs. Trump: Showdown in Wisconsin

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.

The Ongoing Legacy of Saturday Night Live (Hour 2)
This afternoon, Trygve Olson sticks around as Todd asks us What’s Worse: shaving or flossing? Neither are particularly enjoyable chores for most of us, so we take your calls and texts on which one stings more.

How Joe Zepecki Wants To Lead WI Democrats (Hour 1)
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.

United Wisconsin: What Is Fusion Voting? (Hour 1)
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.
