Luke’s Wednesday Wisdom (Hour 1)
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.

More Nonsense From The State GOP (Hour 1)
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.

Civic Media Spotlight for May 18th & 19th (Hour 1)
Kicking off the hour, Matenaer On Air welcomes Andrew Gurman, former President of the American Medical Association to talk about the letter he and 48 other experts signed on to regarding the impact a second Trump administration would have on health care and health care access.
Then on Up North News Radio, Pat calls attention to the last gasps of a gerrymandered majority as state Senate Republicans stage a veto override attempt rather than release funds to clean up contaminated drinking water across Wisconsin.
After that on the Todd Allbaugh Show, Todd pushes past the "sexy" news to talk facts. The fact is, Trump has stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from taxpayers, while Biden has made a real impact in Wisconsin and the nation with the bipartisan infrastructure law.
Finally, the doctors on Busted Pencils have a conversation with Aaron Makelky on the pros and cons of using AI in the classroom. Is it a powerful tool that we should be teaching students to harness for good? Or is it a dangerous cesspool for nothing better than cheating?

Silly Political Games With Dire Consequences (Hour 1)
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.

Then, on Up North News Radio with Pat Kreitlow, Pat dives into Microsoft’s president commenting on bringing thousands of jobs to Racine. Pat then calls out House Speaker Mike Johnson for playing the fear card about election integrity and exposes Rep. Tom Tiffany for playing politics with the US census.
After that, the John & Gordy Show is joined by Associate Editor of the Cap Times John Nichols to comment on the encampment at UW Madison, and shares how protest relates to the Wisconsin Idea.

Weekly Best of Todd Allbaugh Show for May 4
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.
