The Todd Allbaugh Show

After a preview of today’s show, Todd dives back into a story we touched on yesterday: the latest Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release. While the Trump administration is using this event to gloat, former President Biden responded on his Twitter/X account with the grace and respect traditionally associated with the office. 

In yet another underreported major national news story, news outlets across the political spectrum are declining to sign the Trump administration’s newest press agreement. The document essentially forbids journalists from asking questions or reporting on anything not explicitly permitted by the Pentagon. We’re not lawyers, but this seems like a pretty clear violation of the first amendment. Even conservative pro-Trump outlets like Fox News and Newsmax are opting out.

This Wednesday, October 15th, at the Marcus Majestic Cinema in Waukesha, Todd will be covering the VIP world premiere of No Packers, No Life. The latest project from producers Sean Hanish and Paul Jaconi-Biery of Just A Bit Outside, this feelgood film documents an unexpected pocket of Packers fans on the other side of the world. Producer Sean Hanish joins us once again to give away one last set of tickets to the premiere! Head over to nopackersnolife.com to get tickets to the premiere or to see the movie this weekend in other select Marcus Theaters. 

As we hit prime cold and flu season, Todd asks us What’s Worse: in-person doctor visits or telemedicine? We take your texts and calls on which one is more difficult to deal with. 

Towards the end of the show, Todd catches us up on some of the consequences of the current federal government shutdown. In many parts of the country, active duty military servicepeople are lining up in droves outside of food pantries.

The Brewers triumphed over the Cubs this weekend, and now they move on to face the Dodgers. Being a large market team, the Dodgers budget dwarfs that of the Brewers, leaving us with a battle that our own Dan Shafer has coined “Glitz vs. Schlitz.” 

Todd also touches on the international news of the day as Hamas releases the last hostages they held in their war with Israel. Regardless of how this agreement was reached, we are happy that families have been reunited. 

At the bottom of the hour, our colleague and friend Jane Matenaer joins us for another Monday with Matenaer! She and Todd talk Brewers before taking on a much weightier topic: the ways the MAGA movement are trying to rewrite American history. From Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples’ Day to shifting education standards, there is a concerted effort to erase all negativity from our past and prevent citizens from questioning the government.

We move onto The Maggie Dawn show. Professor Josh Braver, Assistant Law Professor at the University of Wisconsin, joins Maggie to examine the troubling misuse of military force in domestic politics, spotlighting Donald Trump’s controversial deployment of the National Guard and ICE agents in cities like Chicago. He stresses the constitutional risks of eroding civilian control of the military and Trump’s disregard for established legal norms.

Hello and welcome to the first hour of the Civic Media Spotlight! This is where you can listen to all the best segments of all the shows throughout the network. We kick off with the Matenaer on Air show! Civic Media's Sports Director Jimmie Kaska joins the show to talk about the loss by the Brewers in the NLDS. Jane gets Jimmie to calm Greg down (even though Greg is perfectly calm) and they discuss the pure meltdowns of those in the business of Chicago Sports Writing and why the advancement of the Brewers seems to ruffle the feathers of those who believe "my city deserves it!!". They also talk about the "trade talks" regarding Giannis and why even though the Packers have had a rocky start, there is plenty of season left and we should never count out The Green and Gold.

We move onto Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba. Pete talks with Fantasy football fanatic Peter Van Doren, who shares draft strategies, league dynamics, and insights into optimizing your fantasy roster.

 With Mornings with Pat Kreitlow, they talk with Chuck Collins. During commercial breaks on Civic Media, Chuck talking about the need to confront this new Gilded Age of billionaires not only buying political power but finding new ways to extract more wealth from the middle class. As the great grandson of a family dynasty, Chuck knows about massive generational wealth and how it’s past time to stem its abuses. He talks to us about his new book, “Burned by Billionaires.”

Today, our show is jam-packed with sports news, so Todd takes some time at the top to address politics. As we’ve covered in recent weeks, ICE and the National Guard are being deployed in Democratic cities across the nation. On Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker brought some levity to a dangerous situation. 

In yet another underreported national news story, Sec. Hegseth announced in a press conference that Qatar will have a military base on US soil in the near future. Todd expresses bewilderment at this potential breach of security. 

At the bottom of the hour, we’re honored to welcome the PA voice of the Badgers: Mike Mahnke! Between military service, broadcasting, and even comedy, he has a wealth of stories to share. He talks about how he found his unique personality behind the microphone as a fan of Badgers sports.

BREAKING NEWS: According to WISN and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a Milwaukee man is dead after exchanging gunfire with an off-duty police officer following a minor car collision. Details are still emerging about exactly what happened, and Civic Media News will stay on top of the situation. 

After we return to the normal show, Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us for a surprise in-studio appearance as his oldest daughter tours UW-Madison! He and Todd reflect on Wisconsin sports before addressing one of many elephants in the room: Marjorie Taylor-Greene has been saying things that make sense. 

Does your computer run Windows 10? If so, you might soon find yourself in hot water. At the bottom of the hour, Julius Shieh of the Right To Repair Campaign at Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group (WISPIRG) joins us to explain why this is far bigger than most software discontinuations. Approximately 440 million computers will either face security issues or become e-waste when Microsoft’s support ends in less than a week. The worst part? The company plans to continue creating these safety updates, but will only release them as part of a paid subscription. WISPIRG is petitioning this decision. 

Saturday, October 18th is International Repair Day, so WISPIRG is hosting a Fix-a-thon at the Madison Central Library. Bring your old laptops to fix or recycle.
