During Tuesday’s presidential address, Representative Al Green (D-TX) shouted in protest and got himself kicked out of the chamber. Todd initially believed that Rep. Green should have followed the decorum rules. However, after hearing new statements from Green yesterday, Todd changed his mind. Listen in for Green’s remarks and Todd’s take.  This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: butter or...

As we finished up the show yesterday, the Marquette University Law School Poll released its latest results. We briefly touched on them, but today, Todd dives deeper. One thing is very clear: Wisconsinites don’t know much about either of the candidates for our state supreme court race on April 1st. Todd’s biggest takeaway is that Americans are sick of political whiplash and are tuning out altogethe...

Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project sticks around into our second hour today to share some new research from the Lincoln Democracy Institute .

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...

Thi...

Last Friday, President Trump and Vice President Vance verbally assaulted Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Russians and MAGA officials alike parroted lies about the Russian-Ukrainian war over the weekend. Precious few GOP representatives took the path of Rep.
