President Or Mob Boss? (Hour 1)

January 10, 2024

Donald Trump’s lawyers are throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. They now argue that unless a United States President is impeached and removed from office, they are completely immune to any and all legal prosecution. This includes the specific examples of selling state secrets, selling pardons, and even sending Seal Team 6 to assassinate political rivals. Clearly, this is absolute nonsense, so why are they even presenting this argument? Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project share their opinions before we welcome our friend Matt Flynn of Matt Flynn - Direct. Matt is an attorney, and he believes that this venture is destined to fail. 

Donald Trump has also failed to sign paperwork in the state of Illinois certifying that he will not try to overthrow the government if he loses the election. By electing not to do this, he is essentially declaring that he does indeed intend to overthrow the government. This comes as no surprise, as Trygve has been telling us about Trump’s autocratic signals for months.

Paul Ryan Isn’t Doing Enough (Hour 1)

January 3, 2024

We're back for the new year! To begin today’s show, Todd shares a heartfelt message for Kristin Brey of As Goes Wisconsin. She has accepted a position elsewhere, and she will share that information in her own time, but we at Civic Media are incredibly grateful for the time we have spent with such a talented host. Todd is also grateful to call her a true friend.

After that discussion, we welcome Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to share their opinions on new remarks from former Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. He continues to condemn Donald Trump, going as far as to say that Trump is everything that’s wrong with the Republican party. However, is this enough? Patt, Todd, and Trygve don’t think so. They believe Trump is dangerous enough that those in Paul Ryan’s position need to do everything in their power to stop him from getting back into office. We also take your calls on the topic, leading up to an important question: what are we so afraid of? What are the supposedly terrible things that Donald Trump has done and promises to do? The primary answer: insurrection. Listen in to hear more of Todd and Trygve's thoughts.

Bidenomics: Is It Working?

December 20, 2023

Today, President Biden is scheduled to speak on Bidenomics at the Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce in Milwaukee. Earl Ingram of The Earl Ingram Show joins Civic Media News Director Terry Bell on the scene to provide commentary. As always on a Wednesday, we are also joined by Trygve Olson, Senior Advisor to The Lincoln Project. He and Todd discuss the future of Biden’s campaign, noting that this is far from his last visit, as Wisconsin continues to be the center of the political universe. 

After breaking away to bring you President Biden’s remarks (which you can listen to here), Todd asks for your opinions. Biden touts job creation and economic growth, but what do you experience? We take several calls and gather varied opinions from across the whole state.
