The Todd Allbaugh Show

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 rolls and requires proof of citizenship to vote. A tremendous portion of Americans do not have a current passport. Additionally, military IDs and driver’s licenses don’t count in many states. If somebody has changed their name for any reason and it no longer matches their birth certificate, that doesn’t count either. Todd shares reporting from investigative journalist Greg Palast on what this order may do and why it matters to all of us. The Todd Allbaugh Show is a part of the Civic Media radio network and airs Monday through Friday from 12 - 2 pm across Wisconsin.

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 Paying AttentionA Senator Was Caught Coloring During A Gun Control DebateTeacher Tries To Convince Students Slaves Weren't Paid, But They Aren't Buying ItSomeone Keeps Shining Dick-Shaped Laser Pointers at Tourists Visiting the Trevi Fountain in RomeMan Tries To Get Out Of Hitting Someone With His Car Because He's The 'HOA President'People Are Breaking A.I.

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.

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 Michael Waltz to step down.

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. Why is the university spending money to hire a new coach with a losing record? This move indicates an apparent lack of dedication to the women’s basketball program. Alternatively, Pingeton may be the strongest candidate willing to take this position on our struggling team.

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 discuss developments in Pete Hegseth’s Signal chat fiasco. Sharing classified military plans on a non-government app and lying about it is unacceptable. The people involved need to step down or be impeached. At the bottom of the hour, we return to Wisconsin. Trygve shares some new poll numbers and what they mean for our state supreme court race. The two candidates are neck and neck, but higher turnout is statistically more likely to bring victory for Judge Susan Crawford over former Attorney General Brad Schimel.

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 intentional betrayal? The answer is likely somewhere in between. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: tip jars or GoFundMe?

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 it seems that he’s not actually making sure they know anything about the candidate or the race. Todd and Pat wrap up their time together with a recap of the latest excitement in college hockey and basketball tournaments. At the bottom of the hour, Todd talks us through the latest goof from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Hegseth accidentally added a journalist to a Signal group chat about imminent war plans. No, this is not a joke. The military actions discussed in the chat were carried out shortly thereafter.

Visit civicmedia.us for more details. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: a sore back or a sore ass? (Also, is it a SORE ass as in a grumpy person or a sore ASS as in posterior?) We take your calls and texts on which pain aches more. At the bottom of the hour, Todd brings us a story that sounds eerily familiar to today’s political division. In 1950, America was deep in the throes of the Red Scare. Republican Senator Margaret Chase Smith was one of the first to speak out against the horrors of McCarthyism, and her words ring just as true today. At the very end of the show, Todd brings us a very disturbing and underreported story. Former US Attorney Jessica Aber was found dead. She was known for her work fighting Russian cybercrime and resigned from her position when Donald Trump was inaugurated as President this January. While it is certainly possible that her death is a coincidence, there is a pattern of deaths among Russian journalists and officials who make their dislike of Putin known. The possibility of foul play from the Kremlin here in America is deeply chilling.

Over the weekend, Coach Mark Johnson led the Badgers Women’s Hockey team to their eighth Frozen Four National Championship victory under his leadership, cementing UW Madison as the most decorated hockey program in the country. We take a listen to the words of Coach Johnson, star player Kirsten Simms, and a few excellent calls from the winning plays. In men’s basketball, the Badgers were eliminated from the NCAA tournament in round two, they put up a great fight. Todd spends most of this hour digging into what brings out the best in our state’s college athletes. We end this hour by addressing some of the serious political news of the day. Vice President JD Vance made an appearance on Fox News in which he derided Denmark, a NATO ally, for not surrendering Greenland to the US. This is absolutely bananas. The leaders of the free world should not be threatening military action against our allies, nor should they demand territory.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: extended warranties or extended family? We take your calls and texts on which one is more annoying. In breaking political news, Elon Musk’s interference in Wisconsin’s state supreme court election is reaching a new high. He offers $100 to each voter who signs a petition against “activist judges,” effectively attempting to buy votes. Regardless of who you plan to vote for, we advise not signing the petition and taking Musk’s money. If you do, he will have access to your signature and a lot of your private information. Aaron’s board game of the week is Monkey Palace! This family-friendly game is made out of LEGO bricks. While LEGO have made board games before, they haven’t always been the most fun. This game from 2024 breaks that trend. Each player adds pieces to the palace to try and appease a very picky monkey.

As the WMDX studio in Madison is still being upgraded, Todd joins us live from WRCE in Richland Center. WRCE/WRCO Station Manager Phil Nee hops behind the mic with him to talk about working to preserve the magic of radio in today’s digital world. While Todd is visiting Richland Center, he has the daunting task of removing a groundhog from his mother’s porch. We take texts and calls on the best way to trap a hog. At the end of the hour, we share another take from political orphan and former Republican Congressman Scott Klug on election reform in our state.

A ton of people are betting a lot of money on the NCAA tournament. With that in mind, Todd asks us What’s Worse: casinos or the lottery? At the bottom of the hour, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler returns to the show to update us on the April 1st state supreme court election. There’s a lot at stake next month. As depressing as today’s political climate can be, Wisconsinites need to show up and make our voices heard.

The studio back in the Civic Media world headquarters in Madison is under construction, so Todd joins us live today from the WRCE/WRCO studio in Richland Center! We also welcome Richland Center native Bradie Ewing to go over Todd’s NCAA bracket and tell him how he’s wrong. Bradie and Todd also reflect on the difficult path the Badgers have taken as they determined their seed in the tournament. Today marks the anniversary of Fred Rogers’ birth. At the bottom of the hour, Todd takes your texts and calls with memories of everyone’s neighbor.

Trygve Olson sticks with us as we kick off our second hour. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: having trouble sleeping or having trouble waking up? We take your calls and texts on your insomnia. Today is the anniversary of the last episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, one of the most influential TV shows of all time.

As Rush says in the song Freewill, “if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.” Make sure to be a voter on April 1st in our State Supreme Court election. It’s Wednesday, and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project is here to help sift through the onslaught of news. As published in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this morning, Brad Schimel continues to spread misinformation about the security of voting in our state. Schimel is complaining about “late-night ballot dumps” in Milwaukee county. However, the reason Milwaukee submits their vote counts late at night is due to Republican legislative obstruction that doesn’t allow them to verify or count votes ahead of election night. Trygve also brings us some news on how the Trump administration’s tariffs will impact Wisconsin. It turns out that 10% of jobs in our state will be negatively impacted by tariffs. 77% of those 10% of people voted for Donald Trump.

After a short memorial service for Todd’s beloved CBS mug that shattered yesterday, we turn back to a more serious topic. It turns out that Wisconsin has the second worst measles vaccination rate in the country. Our friend Jane Matenaer calls in to the show to remind us how important vaccines are. She also reminds us that vaccines DO NOT cause autism. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: phone companies or cable companies?

Todd begins today’s show by recapping President Trump’s weekend deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador in direct violation of a court order. This morning, Trump posted to his social media platform with a call for impeachment of the federal judge who made this ruling. Unexpectedly, Chief Justice Roberts of the Supreme Court made a statement indirectly rebuking Trump for his circumvention of the justice system.

Matt Flynn sticks with us into the beginning of our second hour to talk about our state supreme court race. As many people prepare for a late night of drinking to celebrate Irish heritage, Todd asks us What’s Worse: morning people or night people? At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media’s Teri Barr joins us to talk about a great St. Patrick’s Day tradition here in Wisconsin! The Shamrock Club of New London have celebrated by transforming the city into New Dublin for over 40 years now. From changing the population sign to Celtic and Irish dance lessons, the entire week of St. Patrick’s Day is fun for the whole family!
