The Todd Allbaugh Show

Once again, Todd broadcasts live from beautiful Shawano, Wisconsin! There’s a lot of news to cover today, but first of all, former Republican Governor Tommy Thompson is “seriously looking at” another run. If elected, he would be 85 years old when taking office in 2027. Todd says that while this may not be the smartest political move, you can never count Tommy out of the race. 

After the gubernatorial discussion, Todd moves to a huge story that is severely underreported in national news. According to a local Chicago ABC affiliate, ICE conducted a horrific raid last night on South Shore apartment buildings. After arriving via helicopter and vans, ICE agents allegedly detained everybody in the apartment– including children– before releasing many of them early in the morning. Todd takes your calls with thoughts on this event and its concerning absence from the news.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: overhead lighting or lamps? We take your calls and texts with a heated discussion. 

At the bottom of the hour, Representative Amaad Rivera-Wagner returns to tell us about his latest proposal to alleviate Wisconsin’s housing crisis. As someone who experienced homelessness in his youth, Rep. Rivera-Wagner is very aware of the struggles that many in our state face. His bill to help lower-income families and individuals secure housing has true bipartisan support, reminding us that our political divides are not insurmountable.

It’s Hump Day, and we all know what that means: a visit from Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project. After some brief monkey business, our crew talks about the latest GOP-caused federal government shutdown. The situation is rife with lies and misdirections, so Pat and Trygve help us cut through the crap. 

In Wisconsin political news, Pat and Trygve weigh in on the premature finish of Bill Berrien’s gubernatorial campaign. They also overview the ever-expanding Democratic primary field. 

Yesterday, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth brought all military flag officers to a huge meeting. We share some audio from both of them, and it’s just as bizarre as we expected. Trygve compares it to his lived experiences in authoritarian countries around the world.

Todd kicks off today’s second hour with another Wisconsin sports update, focusing this time on Badger football and basketball. As we all know, the introduction of the transfer portal and lucrative name, image, and likeness deals have fundamentally altered college sports. UW Madison is doing its best to adapt, but it has its share of struggles. Todd breaks down the messy situation. 

After finishing the sports update, Todd welcomes Alex Madorsky back to the show! As Associate Director of Government Relations for the Nature Conservancy, Alex is on top of conservation efforts in our state. As we’ve covered on this program previously, the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund is in jeopardy following its excision from the state budget. This is an issue that affects every Wisconsinite with an appreciation for nature. Both Republicans and Democrats have proposals on how best to continue the Stewardship Fund. Alex walks us through some of the key differences and what we as constituents can do to ensure our natural resources are well taken care of.

Todd is out on family business today, so he and Zommers are using the magic of recorded audio to keep it rolling. The show must go on! 

With several days off for Wisconsin baseball and football teams, Todd recaps the record-breaking Milwaukee Brewers season. With some help from analysts at The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, he offers some predictions on the post-season lineup and shares his hopes for the Brew Crew. 

At the bottom of the hour, National Campaigns Director for Main Street Action Shawn Phetteplace returns for an update on how our state’s small businesses are faring. Right now, many of their biggest struggles come from bad federal policies from the Trump administration. Wisconsin’s own Derrick Van Orden voted for these dangerous laws, and Main Street Action is working to hold him accountable. On top of that, at the time of recording, the government is approaching yet another shutdown amidst budget disagreements. Shawn lays out how this will further impact our state before giving some tips on how to support our main streets in the coming months.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: glasses or contacts? We take some texts on which one is more of a burden for those of us who are visually impaired. 

At the bottom of the hour, Todd visits the world of Gen Z social media to examine their political messaging.

This Monday, Todd catches us up on a very eventful weekend for Wisconsin sports. The Green Bay Packers unexpectedly tied the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. While this doesn’t make the team look good, we all need to remember that it’s early in the season and anything can happen. On the other hand, the Milwaukee Brewers made franchise history with a total of 97 wins, clinching home-field advantage as we head into the playoffs. 

At the bottom of the hour, we are excited to kick off Mondays with Matenaer, featuring Wisconsin broadcasting legend Jane Matenaer! She so diligently promotes other Civic Media programs, and we thought it was high time we did the same for her. Additionally, time talking with Jane is time well spent. Todd and Jane chat about golf, Jane’s European travels, and how they deal with the non-stop deluge of nonsense in the news.

For the second hour of the Civic Media Spotlight, we have the Todd Allbaugh Show. Filmmakers Sean Hanish and Paul Jaconi-Biery of Just A Bit Outside join us for their first media appearance promoting their latest film project. No Packers No Life, showcases a group of die-hard Packers fans in Tokyo who made their way to Lambeau.

During the WXCO Morning Report, Chad Holmes sits down with Quinn Suchon of Marathon County Literacy Council and what services they provide and about an upcoming Adult Spelling Bee they are hosting.

Dr. Kristin Lyerly joins the Matenaer on Air Show with Jane and Greg to talk about the recent press conference from President Trump regarding Tylenol and the unsubstantiated claim of its link to autism if taken by pregnant folks. Dr. Lyerly lays it out in plain flavored English that the study referenced by The White House, while having data which is corroborated, is very narrow in its scope and shouldn't be used to issue such a decree from the president. She also stresses the importance of taking all questions to your doctor, listening to the experts and Dr. Lyerly reassures those who have children with autism, that they did nothing wrong and it isn't their fault.

Hello! Welcome to the first hour of the Civic Media Spotlight! We hope you enjoy your stay! We begin with the Maggie Dawn Show! Sarah Harrison, running for State Senate District 5, discusses her logistics expertise and commitment to addressing economic pressures, reproductive rights, and environmental issues, all while emphasizing practical solutions over partisan politics. And she is a champion Excel user (how cool is that)!

We then shift our focus to Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba. He is joined by Travel Wisconsin’s Logan Wroge for some trivia fun and talks about what is going on around our great state this fall.

Next, we have Mornings with Pat Krietlow. Pat speaks with Jill Underly, Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction, to talk about the annual “State of Education” remarks she recently delivered at the State Capitol. Underly explains how under the Trump administration, the federal government has become the biggest bully in our classrooms. And she addresses whether she thinks the public is recognizing how the legislature is shortchanging public schools, which is forcing a record number of local referendums asking people to raise their property taxes.

To end the first hour of the Civic Media Spotlight, we have the John and Gordy Show discussing Tom Homan, the former acting director of ICE. Gordy mocked Tom Homan's voice by doing an over-the-top impression of him, comparing his voice to that of a professional wrestler. JAG found it particularly funny when Homan, in his passionate defense, began referring to himself in the third person, stating, "Tom Homan isn't going anywhere. Tom Homan is not shutting up."
