LIVE From the DNC – Building a Narrative (Hour 2)
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. The GOP has been the party of building compelling narratives. However, the rise of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is built on looping Americans into a story of hope and prosperity. Trygve compares this to other campaign strategies past and present.
We also take several of your calls and debunk some misinformation.

Thirty Pieces of Silver with Trygve Olson (Hour 1)

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!
