On Trump’s Growing Threat To America (Hour 1)

October 28, 2024

Today, we begin a new leg of Todd and Trygve’s What Makes Wisconsin Great Tour! For the next six days, Todd travels the state with Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project and Reed Galen of The Union. Each day, the show broadcasts from one city before hosting a meet and greet event in another that evening. 

Last night, Donald Trump held a rally in Madison Square Garden, and it was absolutely disturbing on multiple accounts. It was full of racism, radicalization, and allusions to a “little secret” plan to win regardless of election results. The mainstream media is refusing to call out the increasing extremism. Todd, Reed, and Trygve provide their takes.

At the bottom of the hour, we are honored to welcome the one and only Mark Cuban! As an incredibly successful businessman, Cuban knows what it takes to succeed in America, and he wholeheartedly supports Vice President Harris in her presidential campaign. Listen in to hear why he believes that her policies will elevate business owners and the middle class.
