He now plans to tie federal DOT funding to higher marriage and birth rates.  The Todd Allbaugh Show is a part of the Civic Media radio network and airs Monday...

Grandpa Allbaugh was a great wrestler, and he used to say that the greatest indicator of manliness is personal responsibility.

During our first hour, one of our listeners texted in asking for tips on helping Latino friends and family members, even if they are legal citizens. Todd has experience with immigration to and from Central American countries, and he provides some sound advice. If you “look Latino,” it might be a good idea to start carrying identification like a passport with you. Unfortunately, we may not be far o...

Yesterday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that CBS 58 in Milwaukee fired weather reporter Sam Kuffel for criticizing Elon Musk on her personal social media. While there may have been a legitimate reason to lay her off, the subsequent silence from CBS 58 speaks volumes. This sets a dangerous precedent very early on in Donald Trump’s presidency. If media companies will fire people in their...

Yesterday, President Donald Trump signed a multitude of executive orders, including a blanket pardon for everybody involved in the January 6, 2021 insurrection.

Even Representative Glenn Grothman doesn’t believe that violent offenders from that day should be pardoned. ...

Today, Todd asks us What’s Worse: cilantro or the Kardashians? These two might seem entirely unrelated, but they’re both things people tend to have strong feelings about. We take a lot of calls and texts with your opinions!  When you eat cilantro, does it taste like soap? That’s actually genetic. You can learn more about genetics and contribute to global research through the National Institut...
