Trygve Olson
Whack Jobs, Morons, And Useful Idiots (Hour 1)
Happy Hump Day!
What’s Poppin’ with Robin Vos? Our usual Wednesday guests, Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson, join us to break down what the “whack jobs and morons” have been up to. Also, in a hearing today, we’ve gained even more evidence of Ron Johnson’s Russian influences.

Don’t Shame People. Convince Them. (Hour 1)
Happy Hump Day!
As we do every Wednesday, we welcome Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to talk about the latest news. Will Aaron Rodgers or Jesse “The Body” Ventura be the Vice President? Will Steph Curry run for President? More and more celebrities are playing politics.
Robert Hur demonstrated his complete ethical bankruptcy in his hearing yesterday. His report on President Biden directly contradicts the transcript of his interview. Most astoundingly, Hur uses the death of Biden’s son as a political tool. Parents who have lost children should be outraged.
After that sobering discussion, Todd and Trygve share the political discussions they’ve been having with friends. Ultimately, everybody is scared about the future, but ridiculing people’s choices doesn’t get you anywhere. We have to work together. Convince people, don’t shame them.

Biden Doesn’t Need Your Rockin’ Chair (Hour 1)
Happy Friday! This week, we get two doses of Trygve Olson, as he joins us to discuss last night’s State of the Union address. Trygve and Todd break down the strengths and weaknesses of Biden’s speech before addressing the Republican “response.” Do-Nothing Derek Van Orden was on his best behavior, yelling “lies” as Biden spoke on Donald Trump’s failures as president.

“If You’re Not With Me, Then You’re My Enemy!” (Hour 1)
After the results of Super Tuesday, Nikki Haley has ended her presidential campaign. While she did not endorse Trump, she did not condemn him either. We invite our typical Wednesday guests, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project, to reflect on these events.
GOP messaging would have you believe that Democrats are divided on Biden. Yes, many have issues with Biden, but when it comes down to it, Biden is getting higher numbers than even Obama did.
Remember when Scott Walker turned down federal funding for high-speed trains in Wisconsin? The trains were still made, and they now operate in Africa. Wisconsinites still paid for them, too.

Ron Johnson Spews Russian Propaganda (Hour 1)
Happy Fat Tuesday!
Recently, Tucker Carlson went to Russia to “interview” Vladimir Putin. Senator Ron Johnson, the pride of Wisconsin, is demonstrating his disdain for patriotism and democracy by declaring that Putin will win his war with Ukraine. Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us a day early this week to discuss these Russian assets. Are they willing mouthpieces, useful idiots, or compromised by the KGB?

Civic Media Spotlight for February 10th (Hour 2)
Up first this hour, Earl and Sandy Williams are joined in the studio by United States Senator Ron Johnson. They start the show discussing the economic pressures faced by everyday Americans and disagree over how the government should address them.
Then, the Todd Allbaugh Show discusses Derrick “Do-Nothing” Van Orden living up to his new nickname, as he and his MAGA colleagues refuse to accomplish anything in the House of Representatives. Trump’s followers are stalling to avoid giving Biden a victory, endangering the entire world in the process. Van Orden himself is simply too busy complaining about the lack of Free Bird in the Culvers’ playlist.
After that, Up North News Radio has a conversation about Northeast Wisconsin seeing grassroots activity like never before with people eager to step up and run for office. Three women who have expressed interest in running for Congress are working together to talk up the issues and get more folks interested in running for something and supporting those who do.
Finally, Charles Franklin with the Marquette Law School Poll the Devil's Advocates to discuss the results of his newest poll, that was released Wednesday. Biden and Trump are neck and neck! Hayley, not so much. In fact, she's polling even worse in Wisconsin than she did last night in Nevada. Plus, people want the weed in Wisconsin, and our suspicions are confirmed: Robin Vos is the most unpopular politician in the state of Wisconsin.
Do-Nothing Derrick Strikes Again (Hour 1)
It’s Hump Day once again, and the gang’s all here! We hear from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project on issues around the state and the nation. Derrick “Do-Nothing” Van Orden is living up to his new nickname, as he and his MAGA colleagues refuse to accomplish anything in the House of Representatives. Trump’s followers are stalling to avoid giving Biden a victory, endangering the entire world in the process. Van Orden himself is simply too busy complaining about the lack of Free Bird in the Culver’s playlist.
As regular listeners may know, Trygve Olson has traveled Eastern Europe, campaigning to promote democracy. He has a deep insight into how politics work in places like Ukraine and Russia, and the consequences of the House’s inaction could be dire. We cannot appease Russia, and thus we must continue to support Ukraine.

Common Sense Voters In Wisconsin (Hour 2)
After a fantastic discussion on the humanity of football, Trygve Olson pivots to discussing Wisconsin politics. Craig Gilbert of the Marquette Law School Poll is an expert on voting patterns in Wisconsin, so we are excited to bring him on to talk about our importance in the ‘24 presidential election. Gilbert elaborates on the possibilities of Wisconsin’s new maps, and the role that split ticket voters play in our state.
After that discussion, Trygve continues the discussion on split ticket voters. It may seem confusing that some people voted for both Tony Evers and Ron Johnson, but it comes from a logical place.
Aaron’s board game of the week is Kiri-Ai: The Duel! In this simple and quick card game, each player takes the role of a samurai in a duel to the death. You choose your actions and reveal them simultaneously, and the first to take two hits loses. This game is very new, so it may not yet be at your friendly local game store, but it’s always worth checking there first to support local businesses.

The Intersection Of Politics And Football (Hour 1)
Happy Groundhog Day!
Todd is out on family business again, so Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project graciously agreed to guest host today! He invites Tyler Dunne, a former Packers beat writer for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and current writer and host of the website and podcast Go Long. Go Long is dedicated to “pulling back the curtain” to show the real human stories behind the NFL, and you can head over to GoLongTD.com to check it out.
Trygve and Tyler have a history. At the Journal Sentinel, Tyler would ask Trygve questions about politics, and Trygve would ask Tyler about football. Today they join forces once more to focus on the football side of things. They talk about the Super Bowl, the future of the Packers, and how great Green Bay is.

Why Does Walker Gotta Be So Mean? (Hour 1)
Today, we invite former Wisconsin governor Scott Walker to the show to discuss his angry tweets about Taylor Swift. To the surprise of nobody, he doesn’t show up, so we instead speak with Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project. One big question is on our minds: why does the MAGA movement hate T Swift so much? We take your calls on this fiery topic.
Ultimately, one of our callers says it best: celebrities have the political sway they do because many Americans simply cannot relate to politicians.
Listen to UpNorthNews Radio with Pat Kreitlow across the Civic Media network from 6-8 am on weekdays! You can also follow Trygve Olson on Twitter/X @TrygveOlson.
