Don’t Shame People. Convince Them. (Hour 1)

March 13, 2024

Happy Hump Day!

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.

“If You’re Not With Me, Then You’re My Enemy!” (Hour 1)

March 6, 2024

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.

Should Evers Sign the New Maps? (Hour 1)

February 14, 2024

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.

When Will The Farmers Get The Help They Need? (Hour 1)

February 12, 2024

It's Monday and we're bringing you packed show, so Jane and Greg kick it off with Puppy Bowl talk, a big announcement for Civic Media and we say goodbye to a Wisconsin Congressman...in Fall. We then welcome Pat Kreitlow from Up North News Radio to a story he wrote regarding the help Wisconsin farmers desperately need.

Civic Media Spotlight for February 10th (Hour 2)

February 10, 2024

Up first this hour, Earl and Sandy Williams are joined in the studio by United States Senator Ron Johnson. They start the show discussing the economic pressures faced by everyday Americans and disagree over how the government should address them.

Then, the Todd Allbaugh Show discusses Derrick “Do-Nothing” Van Orden 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 Culvers’ playlist.

After that, Up North News Radio has a conversation about Northeast Wisconsin seeing grassroots activity like never before with people eager to step up and run for office. Three women who have expressed interest in running for Congress are working together to talk up the issues and get more folks interested in running for something and supporting those who do.

Finally, Charles Franklin with the Marquette Law School Poll the Devil's Advocates to discuss the results of his newest poll, that was released Wednesday. Biden and Trump are neck and neck! Hayley, not so much. In fact, she's polling even worse in Wisconsin than she did last night in Nevada. Plus, people want the weed in Wisconsin, and our suspicions are confirmed: Robin Vos is the most unpopular politician in the state of Wisconsin.
