The Downfall Of Tommy Thompson (Hour 1)

July 3, 2024

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.

Adam Kinzinger Endorses Joe Biden (Hour 1)

June 26, 2024

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, 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.

Donald Trump: Guilty – A Special Presentation (Hour 1)

May 31, 2024

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.

More Nonsense From The State GOP (Hour 1)

May 29, 2024

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.

Silly Political Games With Dire Consequences (Hour 1)

May 15, 2024

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.

Weekly Best of Todd Allbaugh Show for May 4

May 4, 2024

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.
