The Todd Allbaugh Show

This Wednesday, one of our callers kicks off the discussion on the Trump administration’s self-inflicted wounds. On CNN, Matt Priest of Footwear Distribution and Retailers of America shared details of just how expensive shoes will be in the coming months. Republican Rand Paul explained on CNBC that Trump has been lying about how our tariffs with Canada actually work. Our country is retaliating aga...

The weather is always unpredictable in Wisconsin, so Todd asks us What’s Worse: turning on the air or turning on the heat? We take calls and texts on climate control.  At the bottom of the hour, Todd returns to some news. Trump’s latest tariff nonsense is destroying the world economy. Our closest allies are creating new trade agreements excluding America.  The Todd Allbaugh Show is a part of...

This Tuesday, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio returns to gather up the latest news. One of the biggest stories both state- and nationwide is the Trump administration’s immediate revocation of many student visas . Allegedly, these revocations have nothing to do with protest participation or “terrorist” affiliation, leaving only naked racism as the culprit. This same situation is playing out at un...

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: the cold shoulder or a cold shower? We take your texts on whether it stings more to stand under icy water or to be iced out.  After What’s Worse, Todd dives into the news of the weekend. The economy is in absolute freefall due to Donald Trump’s haphazard tariffs. Even many Trump voters are calling out his administration for evaporating their retireme...

The times are a changin’ here at Civic Media! Coming up later this month, The Todd Allbaugh Show is moving to 2-4 pm weekdays for some afternoon delight. Keep listening to Civic Media to hear where the rest of our shows are going.  The Wisconsin Film Festival is in full swing! Last night, Todd attended the premiere of A Road at Night, a new film by John Roach chronicling the tragically beauti...

After wrapping up Civic Media’s Break Into Spring Text To Win Contest, Todd asks us What’s Worse: common sense or expert opinion? We take a ton of your opinions!  Aaron’s board game of the week is Distilled! This is a fantastic game to enjoy with a snifter of bourbon in hand. Each player takes on the role of an heir to a distillery, managing their supply chain and aging process to cultivate t...

Today, we are ecstatic to welcome Kelly Kahl and Sean Hanish to the show in-studio! As the Producer and Producer-Director respectively of Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers , Kelly and Sean are here in Madison to screen their movie tonight at the Wisconsin Film Festival . For those of you who didn’t catch the film in theaters and missed out on this sold-out screening, don’...

Todd kicks off the second hour by reuniting with some old friends. Kari Pink, the Interim Executive Communications Officer at UWM, has been a close friend of Todd’s for over 40 years, and she helped to make this campus visit possible. Today also marks the first time Todd is on air with his old broadcast partner Kevin O’Connor in 30 years! Kevin now serves as the UWM Licensing & Product Develop...

Today, Todd broadcasts live from UW-Milwaukee for another addition to the What Makes Wisconsin Great tour! UWM too often plays second fiddle to UW-Madison, but it deserves much more credit. Todd is joined by Chancellor Mark Mone, who has served in the role for 11 years and is stepping down this July to shepherd in new leadership. He conveys the importance of UW-Milwaukee as a level one research sc...

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: passive aggressive or aggressive? Trygve sticks around to give his take.  At the bottom of the hour, Madison-based filmmaker and renaissance man John Roach joins us to talk about his new documentary film, A Road at Night, that will be screened this Sunday at the Wisconsin Film Festival. A Road at Night follows the tragically beautiful story of Howard...

Last night, Wisconsin elected Judge Susan Crawford to become our next state supreme court justice. Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us to give his take on this election and what it means for Wisconsinites. There’s a national narrative that this election was a referendum on Elon Musk meddling in politics, but Trygve doesn’t believe this to be the sole factor that decided the outcome. ...

In our second hour, Todd delves further into some of the numbers on today’s state supreme court election. Ultimately, everything is looking incredibly close.  We finish up today’s show with new information on the alleged “gang members” who were sent to Salvadoran prisons without due process. The Trump administration has admitted that at least one person was sent to these inhumane prisons erro...

Finally, after two and a half years, Todd has successfully infiltrated the woke den of liberal indoctrination that is Civic Media. Just kidding! Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio joins us this Tuesday, April first to talk about something that isn’t a joke: today’s election for state supreme court and state superintendent.  Lately, Civic Media has been running several political ads endorsing Brad S...

This afternoon, Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez joins us from the road in Green Bay to talk about the state of healthcare in Wisconsin. The UW-System is doing a lot for healthcare workers and retention, but our Republican-led legislature is lagging behind nearly the entire country when it comes to Medicare and Medicaid funding. We are one of two states that hasn’t expanded funding for postpartu...

Tomorrow, Wisconsin holds its state supreme court election. Today, Judge Susan Crawford joins us on the phone for one last discussion before the people make their choice. At The Todd Allbaugh Show, we encourage everybody to vote regardless of who they’re voting for. However, we believe Judge Crawford has proven herself to be a competent and nonpartisan judge who upholds the law, compared to Brad S...

From Thursday's show: Trump's Latest Order Disenfranchises 21 Million Voters (Hour 1) Today, the Milwaukee Brewers kick off their season in New York against the Yankees. Todd takes some time to celebrate Bob Uecker and the Brew Crew.  On Tuesday, President Trump signed an executive order that could cost approximately 21 million Americans their vote. This order gives Elon Musk access to voter...

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: tattoos and piercings or complaining about tattoos and piercings? We take your calls and texts.  At the bottom of the hour, eBaum’s World Managing Editor Peter Rapine is back for another week in review! Here are the real stories of crazy people doing crazy things from the past two weeks: Congressperson Spends Hearing Watching Netflix Instead Of Payin...

As we head into the weekend, Susan Crawford and Brad Schimel are neck and neck in the April 1st state supreme court race. In a now-deleted post on Twitter/X, Elon Musk said he would be speaking in Wisconsin and giving away $2 million to voters on Sunday. Elon also reiterated his claims that American hero and veteran Mark Kelly is a traitor. The Todd Allbaugh Show is a part of the Civic Media radio...

We’ve spent some time this week already talking about “Signalgate,” the fiasco where Pete Hegseth and Michael Waltz added a journalist to a group chat discussing classified military plans. This gross negligence could have put American lives in grave danger. Now, even conservative podcasters are frustrated with the Trump administration. Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, is now calling for M...

Today, the Milwaukee Brewers kick off their season in New York against the Yankees. Todd takes some time to celebrate Bob Uecker and the Brew Crew.  On Tuesday, President Trump signed an executive order that could cost approximately 21 million Americans their vote. This order gives Elon Musk access to voter rolls and requires proof of citizenship to vote. A tremendous portion of Americans do...

After giving us the next keyword in the Break Into Spring Text To Win Contest, Todd asks us What’s Worse: not remembering names or not remembering where you parked? We take a lot of calls and texts about which kind of forgetfulness is the worst.  Todd then moves on to discuss UW-Madison’s new women’s basketball coach , Robin Pingeton. Unfortunately, her record is one of mediocrity at best. Wh...

It’s Wednesday, and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project is here to break down a flurry of Wisconsin news.  Firstly, UW-Eau Claire Chancellor Jim Schmidt is leaving his position to become the president of James Madison University in Virginia. This is a huge loss for education in our state, and yet another casualty of Jay Rothman’s continued gutting of UW-System.  Next up, Todd and Trygve...

After giving out our word for the hour in Civic Media’s Break Into Spring Text To Win Contest, Todd takes your calls on Pete Hegseth’s potential jeopardization of America’s military operations. Using a private company to communicate top secret military plans and accidentally including a journalist in the group chat is unacceptable. However, is this breach in security due to incompetence or intenti...

Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio is officially sick of Trygve Olson’s age jokes. Henceforth, he shall join us on Tuesdays. (In reality, he now has a meeting that conflicts with our Wednesday show, but Trygve doesn’t need to know that.)  This morning, Dan Bice published a new article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Elon Musk is paying people $25/hr to knock on doors for Brad Schimel, but i...
