The Todd Allbaugh Show

In our second hour, Todd brings us an update on the UW-Platteville Baraboo campus closure. Two days ago, the Cap Times shared remarks from State Sen. Sarah Keyeski, State Rep. Karen DeSanto, and State Sen. Kelda Roys, who all expressed disappointment at this abrupt closure. To our knowledge, along with Katrina Shankland, these three Democrats are the only elected officials to speak out against the dismantling of our two-year campuses. No Republicans, and not even our education Governor Tony Evers. 

At the beginning of today’s show, Todd expressed some of his frustration with the deluge of depressing news. We give a rapid-fire look at some of the crazy stuff happening at the national level. 

At the bottom of the hour, our favorite two-time B1G champion and former NFL fullback Bradie Ewing returns to the program! Bradie has been a part of some hugely successful teams, so Todd asks for his insights on why the Badgers football team is struggling so hard.

Over the last week or so, we’ve been following the Cap Times’ reporting on the Wisconsin DPI’s lack of transparency. Well, State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly continues to compound the issue with her relentless silence. She did not attend yesterday’s hearing on the matter, sending her staff so she could attend an awards ceremony in Indiana. At the very least, Dr. Underly owes the taxpayers of Wisconsin an explanation, but Todd says he thinks it’s time for her to take a step further and resign. 

In other Wisconsin news, President Trump today declined to provide disaster relief to the Milwaukee area for its extreme flood damage. If our state’s Republicans can’t even get their own side to help Wisconsin when we clearly need it, they don’t deserve to have their offices. 

At the bottom of the hour, Richland County beef producer David Unbehaun calls in from his combine. He shares his perspective on our president’s tariffs and other policies, as well as Trump’s recent comments on Argentinian beef. Ultimately, between nonsensical trade deals, defunding healthcare, and more delays on the farm bill, the federal government is leaving Wisconsin farmers behind.

Todd Allbaugh explores the beauty of fall in Wisconsin, sharing tales of visits to local orchards like Oakwood Fruit Farm, indulging in cider donuts, caramel apples, and other autumn delights. Amidst the joy of Wisconsin’s seasonal offerings, a poignant story emerges of a U.S. Postal Service worker almost detained by ICE while on duty, highlighting issues of racial profiling and identity verification. The episode balances light-hearted discussions on favorite fall treats with a serious look at societal challenges, underscoring the importance of community, awareness, and the simple pleasures of life in Wisconsin.

Todd Allbaugh delves into Wisconsin’s educational controversy as Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly faces scrutiny for avoiding a legislative committee hearing about allegations involving schools. Meanwhile, beef farmers are beefing with Trump over plans to import cheaper Argentinian beef, potentially undercutting local markets. Todd dons his Joe Thomas Hall of Fame beef hat, takes a nostalgic trip to Richland County, and shares local delicacies. In between, listeners weigh in, providing lively debate on both topics. It’s a mix of local charm, political drama, and a hearty dose of Wisconsin pride.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: wedding showers or baby showers? Also, why do we only shower married couples with gifts? We take your calls and texts. 

At the bottom of the hour, Todd gives us another update on Badger athletics and Luke Fickell’s failure as a coach.

This afternoon, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project make their typical Wednesday appearance to break down the news of the day. Firstly, Todd asks them their thoughts on the Department of Public Instruction’s lack of transparency in reporting teacher license investigations. 

Our trio also touches on the state of news itself around our state and the country. Local newspapers have been dying out for years, and Indiana University’s student paper is now being shut down under questionable circumstances. Meanwhile, a student newspaper is still holding down the fort in Pulaski.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: trying not to sneeze or trying not to yawn? We take your calls and texts on which is harder to stifle. 

At the bottom of the hour, we welcome Cap Times Enterprise and Investigative Reporter Danielle DuClos. Danielle is the author of last week’s article calling out Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction on some questionable practices surrounding alleged sexual misconduct cases. She has been following this trail of records for a few years now and is ready to bring us the facts.

Last week, the Cap Times published an article alleging that over 200 teacher sexual misconduct investigations were hidden from public view. Between this and other stories reported by Wisconsin Public Radio, a shadow of doubt is being cast upon the Department of Public Instruction. State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly has been oddly silent for the past couple of years, declining interviews with Civic Media and other outlets. This topic has been no different. Todd gives us the details before we speak to the article’s author in hour two. 

At the bottom of the hour, Todd returns to a story from this weekend. Rather than backing down from his disastrous tariff plan, President Trump says he wants to make agriculture deals with Argentina to effectively undercut Wisconsin farmers.

This past weekend, seven million citizens peacefully took to the streets to participate in another No Kings protest. The event went off so smoothly that even MAGA House Speaker Mike Johnson had to remark that it was impressively nonviolent. 

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: bad dancing or bad singing? We take your calls and texts on whether an affront to the eyes or ears bothers you more. 

BREAKING NEWS: following claims that Trump’s new ballroom wouldn’t interfere with the existing White House buildings, demolition has begun on its East facade. Yet another promise has been broken by our President. 

It turns out that President Trump was right about the danger of the weekend’s No Kings protests. However, he was incorrect about where the danger came from. The Marines fired live ammunition across a California interstate, and it exploded prematurely over the highway. Had Governor Gavin Newsom not closed the highway against military advice, people could have been severely injured.

As we begin a new week, Todd brings us some breaking news: Republican Party of Wisconsin Treasurer Kelly Ruh has resigned, penning a scathing letter to RPW that has been made public. 

In other Wisconsin news, Congressman Derrick Van Orden is joining with the American Dairy Coalition to advocate for immigration reform to support agricultural labor. However, his efforts are too little too late. He demonstrates a lack of understanding of our immigration system or how this affects industries outside of agriculture. Additionally, this stance directly opposes Van Orden’s voting record on the Trump administration’s budget reconciliation from earlier this year. Speaking of President Trump, his plan to lower food prices in the US is to undercut Wisconsin farmers by importing Argentinian beef. 

At the bottom of the hour, Wisconsin Watch State Government and Politics Reporter Brittany Carloni joins us to share her latest work. As somebody who only recently moved back to Wisconsin herself, she is acutely aware that our state is experiencing a housing crisis. Her article begins with a startling figure: while WI housing costs have risen 120% over the last decade, wages have only risen 50%. However, it’s not all doom and gloom. There are a few bills making their way through the state legislature that may help ease the pain. Brittany also spoke with gubernatorial candidates about their approaches to this core issue.
