Trygve Olson
Ron Johnson Spews Russian Propaganda (Hour 1)
Happy Fat Tuesday!
Recently, Tucker Carlson went to Russia to “interview” Vladimir Putin. Senator Ron Johnson, the pride of Wisconsin, is demonstrating his disdain for patriotism and democracy by declaring that Putin will win his war with Ukraine. Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us a day early this week to discuss these Russian assets. Are they willing mouthpieces, useful idiots, or compromised by the KGB?

Civic Media Spotlight for February 10th (Hour 2)
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.
Do-Nothing Derrick Strikes Again (Hour 1)
It’s Hump Day once again, and the gang’s all here! We hear from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project on issues around the state and the nation. Derrick “Do-Nothing” Van Orden is 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 Culver’s playlist.
As regular listeners may know, Trygve Olson has traveled Eastern Europe, campaigning to promote democracy. He has a deep insight into how politics work in places like Ukraine and Russia, and the consequences of the House’s inaction could be dire. We cannot appease Russia, and thus we must continue to support Ukraine.

Common Sense Voters In Wisconsin (Hour 2)
After a fantastic discussion on the humanity of football, Trygve Olson pivots to discussing Wisconsin politics. Craig Gilbert of the Marquette Law School Poll is an expert on voting patterns in Wisconsin, so we are excited to bring him on to talk about our importance in the ‘24 presidential election. Gilbert elaborates on the possibilities of Wisconsin’s new maps, and the role that split ticket voters play in our state.
After that discussion, Trygve continues the discussion on split ticket voters. It may seem confusing that some people voted for both Tony Evers and Ron Johnson, but it comes from a logical place.
Aaron’s board game of the week is Kiri-Ai: The Duel! In this simple and quick card game, each player takes the role of a samurai in a duel to the death. You choose your actions and reveal them simultaneously, and the first to take two hits loses. This game is very new, so it may not yet be at your friendly local game store, but it’s always worth checking there first to support local businesses.

The Intersection Of Politics And Football (Hour 1)
Happy Groundhog Day!
Todd is out on family business again, so Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project graciously agreed to guest host today! He invites Tyler Dunne, a former Packers beat writer for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and current writer and host of the website and podcast Go Long. Go Long is dedicated to “pulling back the curtain” to show the real human stories behind the NFL, and you can head over to GoLongTD.com to check it out.
Trygve and Tyler have a history. At the Journal Sentinel, Tyler would ask Trygve questions about politics, and Trygve would ask Tyler about football. Today they join forces once more to focus on the football side of things. They talk about the Super Bowl, the future of the Packers, and how great Green Bay is.

Why Does Walker Gotta Be So Mean? (Hour 1)
Today, we invite former Wisconsin governor Scott Walker to the show to discuss his angry tweets about Taylor Swift. To the surprise of nobody, he doesn’t show up, so we instead speak with Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project. One big question is on our minds: why does the MAGA movement hate T Swift so much? We take your calls on this fiery topic.
Ultimately, one of our callers says it best: celebrities have the political sway they do because many Americans simply cannot relate to politicians.
Listen to UpNorthNews Radio with Pat Kreitlow across the Civic Media network from 6-8 am on weekdays! You can also follow Trygve Olson on Twitter/X @TrygveOlson.

Education In Our Backyard with Dr. Gretel Stock (Hour 1)
It’s Wednesday in Wausau! Todd comes to us live from the Bull Falls Radio WXCO studios in Wausau, Wisconsin, featuring some guests from that part of the state. Dr. Gretel Stock is the Dean of the UW-Stevens Point Wausau campus, and she gives us the lowdown on what our state’s two-year campuses can do for your community. Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project also makes his regular Wednesday visit, and as a UW System alum, he shares a passion for the importance of local colleges. Todd and Trygve take your calls on higher education in Wisconsin.

Connecting With Voters with Stuart Stevens (Hour 2)
In today’s second hour, we are pleased to welcome another Senior Advisor to The Lincoln Project, Stuart Stevens, back to the show! Like Todd and Trygve, Stuart knows how the Republican party operates, and he wrote one of Todd's favorite books about it, titled It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump. Trygve also asks him about his new book, The Conspiracy To End America. He knows better than anyone else that Russia is a real threat to America and the world at large, and supporting Ukraine is supporting freedom. Trygve and Stuart also take your calls on questions about democracy, The Lincoln Project, political messaging, immigration, and more!

The Presidential Campaign Path with Joe Trippi (Hour 1)
Todd is out for some family business today, so we leave the show in the capable hands of Trygve Olson! Trygve is a former Republican just like Todd, and now he works as a Senior Advisor to The Lincoln Project. He has traveled the world promoting democracy, earning the distinctive honor of being personally banned from Russia by Vladmir Putin. Having worked on presidential campaigns like that of John McCain, Trygve has a unique insider perspective on Republican politics, and he joins us today to talk about the New Hampshire primary and what we can expect to see as this year's campaign progresses.
Trygve brings with him two other special guests. Right off the top of the show, we are excited to welcome legendary Democratic strategist and fellow Lincoln Project Senior Advisor Joe Trippi! Many Lincoln Project members are former Republicans, but the future of America is a bipartisan issue. Trippi complements Trygve's experience with an inside look from the left.

God Made a Dictator (Hour 1)
On this Crossover Wednesday, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project provide their perspective on the results of the Iowa caucus. They also take a moment to share a new ad from The Lincoln Project called God Made a Dictator. Recently, Trump’s campaign used AI to spoof the classic Paul Harvey radio spot, God Made a Farmer, turning it into a self-aggrandizing worship piece called God Made Trump. Created by Rick Wilson, the new Lincoln Project video shows historical dictators, comparing their behavior to that of Donald Trump, culminating in a powerful call to action for the American people. While particularly poignant for Christians, Pat asserts that it presents a compelling case for anybody who listens all the way to the end.
Trygve Olson sticks around to dive deeper into this year’s presidential campaigns. While Nikki Haley is shaping up to be Donald Trump’s primary competition, she still refuses to condemn him for his actions. Despite being the only woman on the campaign trail, when asked about Trump’s sexual assault case, Haley deflects the question. After letting us know what to look for in next week’s New Hampshire caucus, Todd and Trygve move on to talk Packers and celebrate their unexpected success.
Looking for more Pat Kreitlow? We’ll have him with us tomorrow as Todd travels to Milwaukee to talk public education with educators from around the state. Of course, you can also hear him on UpNorthNews Radio weekdays from 6-8 am across the Civic Media radio network, and on our app.
