Understanding Political Polarization with Bill McCoshen (Hour 2)

August 21, 2024

In our second hour, Republican strategist and hockey aficionado Bill McCoshen talks about working across the aisle to get things done.

At the bottom of the hour, John Nichols of The Nation and The Cap Times returns to the show. He talks about the fascinating developments in political ideology. The Democratic party is experiencing a strong transition as they embrace their base by supporting unions.

LIVE From the DNC – Building a Narrative (Hour 2)

August 19, 2024

In today’s second hour, Todd’s co-host Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project spins us a yarn about storytelling. Traditionally, the Democratic party has stuck with talking about policy.

Trygve compares this to other campaign strategies past and present. 

We also take several of your calls and debunk some misinformation.

August 15, 2024

Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us a day later than normal to update us on the state of both presidential campaigns.

Scott, you have an open invitation to The Todd Allbaugh Show, and as Trygve says, we’ll be nice to you. We just want to talk through your positions!
