Trygve Olson
Education In Our Backyard with Dr. Gretel Stock (Hour 1)
It’s Wednesday in Wausau! Todd comes to us live from the Bull Falls Radio WXCO studios in Wausau, Wisconsin, featuring some guests from that part of the state. Dr. Gretel Stock is the Dean of the UW-Stevens Point Wausau campus, and she gives us the lowdown on what our state’s two-year campuses can do for your community. Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project also makes his regular Wednesday visit, and as a UW System alum, he shares a passion for the importance of local colleges. Todd and Trygve take your calls on higher education in Wisconsin.

Connecting With Voters with Stuart Stevens (Hour 2)
In today’s second hour, we are pleased to welcome another Senior Advisor to The Lincoln Project, Stuart Stevens, back to the show! Like Todd and Trygve, Stuart knows how the Republican party operates, and he wrote one of Todd's favorite books about it, titled It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump. Trygve also asks him about his new book, The Conspiracy To End America. He knows better than anyone else that Russia is a real threat to America and the world at large, and supporting Ukraine is supporting freedom. Trygve and Stuart also take your calls on questions about democracy, The Lincoln Project, political messaging, immigration, and more!

The Presidential Campaign Path with Joe Trippi (Hour 1)
Todd is out for some family business today, so we leave the show in the capable hands of Trygve Olson! Trygve is a former Republican just like Todd, and now he works as a Senior Advisor to The Lincoln Project. He has traveled the world promoting democracy, earning the distinctive honor of being personally banned from Russia by Vladmir Putin. Having worked on presidential campaigns like that of John McCain, Trygve has a unique insider perspective on Republican politics, and he joins us today to talk about the New Hampshire primary and what we can expect to see as this year's campaign progresses.
Trygve brings with him two other special guests. Right off the top of the show, we are excited to welcome legendary Democratic strategist and fellow Lincoln Project Senior Advisor Joe Trippi! Many Lincoln Project members are former Republicans, but the future of America is a bipartisan issue. Trippi complements Trygve's experience with an inside look from the left.

God Made a Dictator (Hour 1)
On this Crossover Wednesday, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project provide their perspective on the results of the Iowa caucus. They also take a moment to share a new ad from The Lincoln Project called God Made a Dictator. Recently, Trump’s campaign used AI to spoof the classic Paul Harvey radio spot, God Made a Farmer, turning it into a self-aggrandizing worship piece called God Made Trump. Created by Rick Wilson, the new Lincoln Project video shows historical dictators, comparing their behavior to that of Donald Trump, culminating in a powerful call to action for the American people. While particularly poignant for Christians, Pat asserts that it presents a compelling case for anybody who listens all the way to the end.
Trygve Olson sticks around to dive deeper into this year’s presidential campaigns. While Nikki Haley is shaping up to be Donald Trump’s primary competition, she still refuses to condemn him for his actions. Despite being the only woman on the campaign trail, when asked about Trump’s sexual assault case, Haley deflects the question. After letting us know what to look for in next week’s New Hampshire caucus, Todd and Trygve move on to talk Packers and celebrate their unexpected success.
Looking for more Pat Kreitlow? We’ll have him with us tomorrow as Todd travels to Milwaukee to talk public education with educators from around the state. Of course, you can also hear him on UpNorthNews Radio weekdays from 6-8 am across the Civic Media radio network, and on our app.

President Or Mob Boss? (Hour 1)
Donald Trump’s lawyers are throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. They now argue that unless a United States President is impeached and removed from office, they are completely immune to any and all legal prosecution. This includes the specific examples of selling state secrets, selling pardons, and even sending Seal Team 6 to assassinate political rivals. Clearly, this is absolute nonsense, so why are they even presenting this argument? Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project share their opinions before we welcome our friend Matt Flynn of Matt Flynn - Direct. Matt is an attorney, and he believes that this venture is destined to fail.
Donald Trump has also failed to sign paperwork in the state of Illinois certifying that he will not try to overthrow the government if he loses the election. By electing not to do this, he is essentially declaring that he does indeed intend to overthrow the government. This comes as no surprise, as Trygve has been telling us about Trump’s autocratic signals for months.

Paul Ryan Isn’t Doing Enough (Hour 1)
We're back for the new year! To begin today’s show, Todd shares a heartfelt message for Kristin Brey of As Goes Wisconsin. She has accepted a position elsewhere, and she will share that information in her own time, but we at Civic Media are incredibly grateful for the time we have spent with such a talented host. Todd is also grateful to call her a true friend.
After that discussion, we welcome Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to share their opinions on new remarks from former Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. He continues to condemn Donald Trump, going as far as to say that Trump is everything that’s wrong with the Republican party. However, is this enough? Patt, Todd, and Trygve don’t think so. They believe Trump is dangerous enough that those in Paul Ryan’s position need to do everything in their power to stop him from getting back into office. We also take your calls on the topic, leading up to an important question: what are we so afraid of? What are the supposedly terrible things that Donald Trump has done and promises to do? The primary answer: insurrection. Listen in to hear more of Todd and Trygve's thoughts.

Bidenomics: Is It Working?
Today, President Biden is scheduled to speak on Bidenomics at the Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce in Milwaukee. Earl Ingram of The Earl Ingram Show joins Civic Media News Director Terry Bell on the scene to provide commentary. As always on a Wednesday, we are also joined by Trygve Olson, Senior Advisor to The Lincoln Project. He and Todd discuss the future of Biden’s campaign, noting that this is far from his last visit, as Wisconsin continues to be the center of the political universe.
After breaking away to bring you President Biden’s remarks (which you can listen to here), Todd asks for your opinions. Biden touts job creation and economic growth, but what do you experience? We take several calls and gather varied opinions from across the whole state.

BREAKING NEWS: Wisconsin Fake Elector Lawsuit Settled (Hour 1)
This morning, The Washington Post published an article by Patrick Marley updating the public on the Wisconsin fake elector scheme. The civil suit has been settled with a promise that the electors will not serve as electors in the future, but Jim Troupis and Kenneth Chesebro are not yet off the hook. We welcome Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio, Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project, and Matt Flynn of Matt Flynn Direct to provide their political and legal expertise on the situation. Afterward, Patrick Marley himself joins us to discuss his article.
Message To Jay Rothman: Resign. Now. (Hour 1)
Liam Beran at The Daily Cardinal in Madison has published exclusive coverage of the collapse of the UW System. President Jay Rothman literally called for chancellors to “shift away” from liberal arts education for low-income students. Todd, Pat Kreitlow, and Trygve Olson all share their thoughts and call Jay Rothman and Governor Evers to action.
It’s Not Hard To Condemn Nazis (Hour 1)
Yesterday, hearings on the Wisconsin redistricting lawsuit began, so we bring on Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to share their expertise on how the political sausage is made. Todd also talks with Trygve about how Wisconsin politicians have reacted (or failed to do so) to the Nazis in Madison last weekend.
