The World Of Sports Is Always Active (Hour 1)

4/11/2025
Tariffs continue to affect every industry around the world, including sex toys. Now, we can’t even afford to go screw ourselves! We also hear a story of governmental overreach from political orphan and former Congressman Scott Klug. While Elon Musk and DOGE love to exaggerate government waste, it does happen. The solution is to apply common sense, not to indiscriminately cut programs. At the bottom of the hour, three-time B1G champion and NFL fullback Bradie Ewing returns for an update on all things sports! He and Todd talk about the NCAA basketball championship, the upcoming NFL draft in Green Bay, and the LOVB Volleyball league. We wrap up the hour with Bradie talking about CheeseCon and turkey hunting.

BREAKING NEWS: Ben Wikler Declines Reelection (Hour 1)

4/10/2025
This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: timidity or temerity? In other words, is it worse to lack confidence or to have too much of it? BREAKING NEWS: Wisconsin Democratic Chair Ben Wikler has announced that he will not seek reelection this June. He has been enormously successful in this position, and we look forward to seeing where his career leads him in the future. Almost immediately afterward, political strategist Joe Zepecki announced that he will be running for this position. Towards the end of the show, Todd shares a very frightening video with us. It documents incognito ICE agents allegedly performing a welfare check, but it appears far likelier that it was an attempted kidnapping of an immigrant right before they receive their green card.

Extreme Market Instability Hurts All Of Us (Hour 1)

4/10/2025
President Trump’s flip-flopping on tariffs continues to throw our country and the world into chaos. Small businesses and big box stores alike are already beginning to raise prices or shut their doors. We at The Todd Allbaugh Show are not financial advisors, but if you have the means, we do recommend making any larger planned purchases sooner than later. Stocking up on staples like canned food and toiletries may also be a good idea to get ahead of anticipated price increases. At the bottom of the hour, Main Street Alliance’s Campaigns Director Shawn Phetteplace joins us to explain the impact of these tariffs on small business owners and consumers alike. Trump is changing his tariff policy nearly daily, causing extreme volatility and destroying the ability for business owners to plan ahead. Even if Trump’s latest 90-day tariff pause sticks, the 10% base increase is enough to potentially bankrupt businesses and cause a recession.

We Are Trump’s Personal Piggy Bank (Hour 2)

4/9/2025
This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: Taco Bell or Arby’s? We get a ton of responses. Listen in to see what everyone says! At the bottom of the hour, Todd covers an important topic we haven’t yet been able to touch: the newly-passed GOP spending bill. Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy have been increased and extended, as has the budget for ICE deportations. Many Trump appointees request exorbitant luxuries like warm chocolate cookies on demand or 24/7 bodyguards in secure government buildings. They view the American people as their personal piggy bank. We wrap up the show on a positive note, showcasing Badger Women’s Hockey Coach Mark Johnson’s new horse ranch for children with mental health struggles.

The Trump Economy Is A Whirlwind Of Instability (Hour 1)

4/9/2025
This Wednesday, one of our callers kicks off the discussion on the Trump administration’s self-inflicted wounds. On CNN, Matt Priest of Footwear Distribution and Retailers of America shared details of just how expensive shoes will be in the coming months. Republican Rand Paul explained on CNBC that Trump has been lying about how our tariffs with Canada actually work. Our country is retaliating against tariffs that have literally never gone into effect. While discussing this on the air, many outlets broke the news that Trump intends to pause his newest tariffs for 90 days, but only for some countries. He also announced an increase in tariffs on China to 125%. Trump’s unpredictable behavior is far worse for the world economy than tariffs alone.

Trump Revokes Student Visas And Erases Black History (Hour 1)

4/8/2025
This Tuesday, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio returns to gather up the latest news. One of the biggest stories both state- and nationwide is the Trump administration’s immediate revocation of many student visas. Allegedly, these revocations have nothing to do with protest participation or “terrorist” affiliation, leaving only naked racism as the culprit. This same situation is playing out at universities around America. Big changes are coming in the Civic Media lineup! Stay tuned for more details, but on or around April 23rd, this will be the new schedule: This schedule may vary on some stations, so pay attention to your local listings. At the bottom of the hour, Todd shares a report from Anderson Cooper on the Trump administration’s continued erasure of American history.

After What’s Worse, Todd dives into the news of the weekend. The economy is in absolute freefall due to Donald Trump’s haphazard tariffs.

What Makes Wisconsin Great: “Old Home Week” (Hour 2)

4/3/2025
Todd kicks off the second hour by reuniting with some old friends. Kari Pink, the Interim Executive Communications Officer at UWM, has been a close friend of Todd’s for over 40 years, and she helped to make this campus visit possible. Today also marks the first time Todd is on air with his old broadcast partner Kevin O’Connor in 30 years! Kevin now serves as the UWM Licensing & Product Development Manager, and he talks about how marketing helps to fund student scholarships. After talking with Kevin, we reveal the true identity of UWM’s mascot, Pounce the Panther! Well, not really, but we do have an exclusive interview with the man behind the mask. At the bottom of the hour, we welcome several members of the cast of UWM’s production of Dames at Sea, a campy musical set in the 1930s.

Today, Todd broadcasts live from UW-Milwaukee for another addition to the What Makes Wisconsin Great tour! UWM too often plays second fiddle to UW-Madison, but it deserves much more credit. Todd is joined by Chancellor Mark Mone, who has served in the role for 11 years and is stepping down this July to shepherd in new leadership. He conveys the importance of UW-Milwaukee as a level one research school and an accessible university for non-traditional students. We also welcome Kim Litwak, Dean of the College of Health Professions & Sciences to speak on how the University is working to address Wisconsin’s healthcare shortage.

“Extremism Has Hit The Wall” with Dale Schultz (Hour 1)

4/2/2025
Last night, Wisconsin elected Judge Susan Crawford to become our next state supreme court justice. Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us to give his take on this election and what it means for Wisconsinites. There’s a national narrative that this election was a referendum on Elon Musk meddling in politics, but Trygve doesn’t believe this to be the sole factor that decided the outcome. At the bottom of the hour, former Republican State Senate Majority Leader Dale Schultz joins Todd and Trygve to talk about the political moment we find ourselves in after yesterday’s election.
