Trygve Olson
Beer Tents, Parades, And Cheap Dates (Hour 2)
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.

Pat and Trygve Talk Spelunking (Hour 1)
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.
