The Riddle of Wisconsin

October 15, 2024

What is up with Wisconsin? The state that brought us the labor union and five day work week, the first state to ratify the 19th Amendment, the state once known as the "laboratory of democracy," has also brought us Joseph McCarthy and Scott Walker, and has become one of the most closely divided battleground states in the country. How did we get here, and how does what has happened here in this state reflect larger trends in American politics--a harbinger of what is to come, or how we can fix it?

The Play-By-Play on Politics and Sports (Hour 1)

October 4, 2024

Last night, Liz Cheney and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at a rally in Ripon, WI, the birthplace of the Republican party. Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project takes a break from his vacation to address Liz Cheney’s incredible message. Just as Cheney said on the stage, the Republican party as we knew it is long gone, and it’s time to put our differences aside in support of democracy.

At the bottom of the hour, Bradie and Brandon Ewing join us to talk Badgers sports! The Badger football team seems to be down on his luck, so Todd pulls out his good luck charm: a #34 Bradie Ewing jersey!

What’s Worse: VP Debate Edition (Hour 2)

October 2, 2024

Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers has been extended for yet another weekend! Head over to justabitoutsidethemovie.com to see if it’s coming to a theater near you. 

After Trygve Olson has to duck out, Todd keeps the discussion rolling on last night’s presidential debate. At one point in the debate, JD Vance spoke inaccurately about the legal Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, and the moderators paused to provide some facts. Vance, upset at the fact check, then continued to speak for so long out of turn that both his and Walz’s microphones were muted. After the debate, Trump supporters have been upset online about this fact check, since the terms of the debate did not include live fact checking. What’s Worse: that JD Vance started these dehumanizing lies about Haitian immigrants, or that MAGA as a whole lose their minds anytime somebody fact checks them? Todd takes your calls. 

We wrap up today’s show with some calls discussing the tragic health implications of abortion bans for both potential mothers and babies.

Wisconsin State Legislature Update with Sen. Kelda Roys (Hour 1)

October 2, 2024

Happy Hump Day! We are joined by our normal Wednesday guests, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to discuss last night’s Vice Presidential debate. The debate was surprisingly cordial, but JD Vance did not defy expectations with his non-answers on difficult topics like abortion and election denialism. 

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys returns to the show to update us on what she’s been up to around the state. With WI Republicans electing to gavel out of the legislative session early, Sen. Roys has had extra free time. She has been taking advantage of that time to campaign for candidates who support funding for education and childcare in our state.

Weekly Best of Todd Allbaugh Show for Sep 28

September 28, 2024

From Tuesday's show: Rebuilding Democracy: Fusion Voting with Dave Palmer

While Todd flies out to California, Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project steps in to guest host! He welcomes Dave Palmer of the Center for Ballot Freedom to talk about the future of the Republican party. On Friday, Liz Cheney spoke at Idea Fest in Madison about starting a new party for conservatives. Currently, America only has room for two major political parties, but what if we could have more choice? Fusion voting is one way to accomplish that goal, and Dave Palmer is an expert. He walks us through the ways in which it differs from ranked choice voting and the impact it could have on America’s political landscape.

From Wednesday's show: Keeping Tabs On Wisconsin Elections with Dan Shafer

Dan Shafer joins us to talk politics! As Civic Media’s Political Editor and founder of The Recombobulation Area, he always has his ear to the ground in Wisconsin. His newest article, New Board, New Game, covers how our new maps are influencing our state’s elections coming up in November. You can use Dan Shafer’s Voter Guides to track every single race in Wisconsin. He and Todd talk through the most important candidates and races to watch this election season.

Rebuilding Democracy: Fusion Voting with Dave Palmer (Hour 2)

September 24, 2024

At the top of today’s second hour, Trygve welcomes Dave Palmer of the Center for Ballot Freedom to talk about the future of the Republican party. On Friday, Liz Cheney spoke at Idea Fest in Madison about starting a new party for conservatives. Currently, America only has room for two major political parties, but what if we could have more choice? Fusion voting is one way to accomplish that goal, and Dave Palmer is an expert. He walks us through the ways in which it differs from ranked choice voting and the impact it could have on America’s political landscape. 

At the bottom of the hour, Trygve Olson circles back to Donald Trump’s frantic and nonsensical rhetoric. From claiming abortion “isn’t relevant” to imposing a 200% tariff on John Deere, Trump is truly off his rocker. Trygve walks us through what Trump’s political operatives are likely thinking, and why it doesn’t sell with the majority of Americans.

Debunking “Migrant Crime” In Prairie du Chien (Hour 1)

September 24, 2024

Todd stops by to say hello before heading out to Los An-ge-les, California! Last night, Todd took some friends to see Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers in theaters! It’s still running through this weekend in theaters around the state, and even a few in Illinois. Head to justabitoutsidethemovie.com to get your tickets. Tomorrow, there will be a special screening at 6:25 in New Berlin, followed by a meet and greet with Jim Gantner, aka Gumby! Tickets are extremely limited, but we give away a few sets this hour. 

Todd briefly returns to a recent story from Prairie du Chien. Derrick Van Orden and Tom Tiffany have been spreading lies about “immigrant crime” in Wisconsin in an attempt to turn Prairie du Chien into the next Springfield, Ohio. 

After that, Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project takes over for Todd! With only 41 days left before the election, we’re running out of time to encourage our friends and neighbors to vote. Trygve picks up on Todd’s thread about Derrick Van Orden’s lies, taking your calls on the matter. 

Trygve then turns to national politics, sharing Trump’s recent statements on lifting sanctions on Russia and Iran. Once again, Donald Trump is completely unfit to serve as our nation’s leader. His willingness to bow down to Putin is but one of his many disqualifying traits.
