Trygve Olson
Looking At The World Through Different Lenses (Hour 2)
Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project sticks around into our second hour today to share some new research from the Lincoln Democracy Institute. He and his colleagues spent the last year interviewing thousands of people from Wisconsin and other swing states to ascertain better ways to connect with everyday Americans both in and out of politics. As Trygve has said before, you will never shame somebody out of their opinion. It may sound simple, but when having a conversation with somebody we don’t agree with, we must listen. If you can’t understand why they believe what they believe, you’ll have a very difficult time convincing them of anything.
As wet snow falls across much of Wisconsin, Todd asks us What’s Worse: slippery roads or slippery people? We take your calls and texts with opinions.
The results of the latest Marquette Law School poll are now available, and Todd shares some of the key results as we close out today’s show.

Dissecting Trump’s Speech with Pat and Trygve (Hour 1)
It’s Wednesday, so our friends Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project are back to discuss the news of the day! They join Todd in recapping last night’s presidential address from Trump. As expected, it was a campaign speech with very little basis in reality. Trump focused on creating clips that will spread like wildfire on social media. He either misspoke or lied about Social Security payments and transgenic mice, which he referred to as “transgender mice.”
Towards the end of the hour, Trygve takes calls with a wide range of political questions from listeners.

Celebrating Public Schools Week with Mike Johnson (Hour 1)
This Wednesday, Pat Kreitlow is out of town, but Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us from the nation’s capital to cover the news with a touch of sports.
According to a new article from CNN, the Trump administration is restricting which news organizations are allowed to have White House correspondents. Reputable stalwarts like Associated Press will no longer have access to the White House. This move sets a dangerous precedent in American news that even Fox News reporters disagree with. Our country is now one step closer to state-run media.
At the bottom of the hour, we welcome Trygve’s friend Mike Johnson back to the show. Johnson is the Superintendent of the Eau Claire Area Public School District, and he’s here to celebrate Public Schools Week! In Wisconsin, public schools are the cornerstone of our communities.

Is A “Workhorse, Not A Show Horse” Enough In 2025? (Hour 1)
It’s Wednesday, so our friends Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project are back to discuss the news of the day!
Last night, Governor Tony Evers delivered his 2025 Wisconsin State Budget Address. While the substance was largely good, Todd wasn’t a fan of the delivery. Pat and Trygve share their takes, and we listen to what you think of Evers and his ability to work for Wisconsin.
Towards the end of the hour, we lean on Trygve’s European expertise to cover some international news. Over the last few days, President Donald Trump has been spreading misinformation on social media about the Russia-Ukraine war.

Towards the end of the hour, we are honored to welcome Judge Susan Crawford, a candidate for our State Supreme Court race. She shares what she believes to be the most vital issues in this race.

Making Our Voices Heard Under Elon– I Mean Trump (Hour 1)
It’s Wednesday, and that means a visit from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project! As Todd watches Wisconsinites march down State street in Madison in protest of President Trump and Elon Musk’s actions, Todd asks Pat and Trygve what their thoughts on how people can and should make their voices heard.
Yesterday afternoon, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu met with President Trump in the White House. Trump announced his intent to level and develop the Gaza strip into a new economic powerhouse. This doesn’t line up with Trump’s “America First” campaign promises. Trygve is wondering how Trump voters feel about this foreign aid/invasion. Ultimately, this is a big distraction from Elon Musk’s continued coup of our government’s payment systems.

Civic Media Spotlight for February 1st & 2nd (Hour 1)
To begin this hour of Civic Media Spotlight, we take the beginning of a conversation with former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn on the Maggie Daun Show. Harry joined Maggie this week in-studio to discuss the recently pardoned J6 felons and the other craziness going on during the first week of President Donald Trump’s second term.
Then, on a Wednesday edition of the Todd Allbaugh Show, Todd visits from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project! On April 1st, Wisconsin will vote to elect a new state supreme court justice. Every day, we discover new reasons why conservative candidate Brad Schimel is completely unfit to serve our state. At a Republican community event last year, Schimel was caught on a mic calling for another “bloody revolution” to get American freedom back from “the socialists.”
Then, on UpNorthNews Radio this week, Pat discussed how some Wisconsin legislators are considering a new way to hide from taxpayers the true cost of the programs that give out taxpayer dollars for vouchers to private, often religious schools. He spoke to Chris Thiel, legislative policy specialist for Milwaukee Public Schools, about this new shell game that would force every Wisconsin taxpayer to fund two parallel school systems in the state.
Wrapping up this hour with a segment from the John & Gordy Show, the guys welcomed back Mike McCabe and the three spend some time on the topic of oligarchy. They also share how we need not despair right now, and that we can look to the future and plan to make some real advances as a society.
