The Todd Allbaugh Show

At the end of this month, Congress faces yet another shutdown if they can’t get their act together and pass a budget. Believe it or not, no federal government has successfully passed a budget by the deadline since 1996. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: a bad smell or a bad taste? We take your calls and texts over which one is easier to get rid of. At the bottom of the hour, we take a quick look into what’s going on at eBaum’s World. In the last few months, they’ve started a “spicy” side of the site, which contains NSFW content that is generally not suitable for broadcast. However, their recent interview with an adult performer regarding ethical nonmonogamy has piqued Todd’s interest. Keep your eyes and ears peeled, as we may welcome an adult performer to the show in the near future. We might even have to reach out to Joe Gow! After our brief escapade into acceptable adultery, Todd returns to sports. According to Lori Nickel at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a Wisconsin-based Olympic speed skater has recovered from a potentially career-ending injury.

This afternoon, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project make their typical Wednesday visit to our program. This morning, Rep. Francesca Hong announced her candidacy for Governor of Wisconsin on Mornings with Pat Kreitlow. As more candidates come out of the woodwork, the Democratic primary is becoming very crowded. A successful campaign will have to travel beyond the big Democratic bases of Madison and Milwaukee. Pat and Trygve also weigh in on the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. People in a variety of industries both public and private are being fired for quoting Kirk on social media, and often without any commentary included. Congressman Derrick Van Orden is introducing legislation to claw back federal funding from the entire community of Eau Claire because of a handful of social media posts containing only quotes.

In today’s second hour, Todd plays a clip from legendary sports broadcaster Jim Nantz on a generational shift in which media careers people aspire to. With the rise of social media and podcasts, young people seem to be drawn to being famous rather than being a good storyteller. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: subscriptions or purchases? We take your calls and texts on whether you’d rather pay as you go or all at once. At the bottom of the hour, Pete Schwaba of Nite Lite joins us to remember actor and director Robert Redford, who passed away this morning at 89.

Last week, we covered the assassination of Conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Over the weekend, the online vitriol and disinformation continued to escalate. To make matters worse, it’s very difficult to verify facts when we can’t rely on governmental agencies for truthful reporting. We begin today’s show with some transparency about how we approach the constant flood of negative news. At the bottom of the hour, former State Senate Majority Leader (and Todd’s old boss) Dale Schultz returns to share some of his unfortunate political experiences. While in office, he received death threats. We walk through how he dealt with it and what we can do to reconnect with our neighbors.

As we get ready to head into a couple of days off, Todd asks us What’s Worse: a busy weekend or a lazy weekend? We take your calls and texts on whether it’s worse to do too much or nothing at all. At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Sports Reporter Mike Clemens calls in to report on the Packers and their great win last night.

This Friday, Civic Media Political Editor and Founder of The Recombobulation Area Dan Shafer joins us live in-studio for the first hour! Firstly, he and Todd recap the latest information on the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The alleged shooter, a 22-year-old white male from a Mormon family, has been identified and captured. Reactions online and on the news have been varied, to say the least. Todd and Dan choose to lower the temperature, decrying senseless gun violence regardless of who perpetrates it. We must wait until the facts are out before jumping to conclusions. Over at www.therecombobulationarea.news, guest writer Emily Tseffos shares her thoughts on what our nation’s response should be to continued violence.

If you or anybody you know is going through a mental health crisis, don’t hesitate to call or text the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988. You’re worth it. BREAKING NEWS: A small single-engine aircraft went down approximately 12 nautical miles into Lake Michigan after departing from Milwaukee. According to WISN-12, the three people aboard the aircraft have been rescued and are being evaluated at a Coast Guard station. Today is a very trying day for many of us. Yesterday, conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Not 30 minutes later, a school shooting occurred at a Colorado high school. In the midst of all of this chaos, we cannot forget that today is the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. None of us are built to be in crisis mode all of the time. Todd takes your calls as we sort through the emotions of the day and look for ways to turn down the temperature.

Todd begins today’s show with some breaking news: Conservative activist Charlie Kirk has been shot while speaking at a Utah university. As we begin the show, his condition is unknown. As we have said many times before, there is no place for violence in our political system. As always on Wednesdays, we are joined by Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project, who first share their thoughts on this tragedy and the immediate media response. As Trygve says, political violence is antithetical to the mission of the founding fathers. The ballot box exists to resolve conflict peacefully. Pat reminds us that while Charlie Kirk is known for spreading violent rhetoric, bullets are not going to change his mind or anybody else’s. At the bottom of the hour, Todd and Trygve turn to violence occurring elsewhere in the world. Last night, a number of Russian drones made their way through Polish airspace before being shot down. This marks the first time a member of NATO has fired a weapon in the Russian-Ukrainian war. While on air, a second shooting occurred at a Colorado high school, resulting in at least two student injuries.

Todd begins today’s second hour with a tribute to his friend Linda Gentes, who passed away this weekend at the age of 76. Linda was a member of the Richland County Board and an integral part of UW-Richland Center’s international student program. She was a great mentor to those students and to Todd personally and will be remembered for her incredible positive impact on the community. Todd also updates us on a tragic drunk driving accident that killed two Marquette University students. Please drink responsibly. Take a moment to think before getting behind the wheel, and you will save lives. At the bottom of the hour, we are joined once again by Kelly Kahl and Sean Hanish, Producer and Producer/Director respectively of Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers!

This morning, another Democrat announced a gubernatorial campaign: Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. Much like LG Sara Rodriguez, he posted an initial campaign video, which you can find on his Twitter/X @DavidCCrowley. Todd provides some background on Crowley’s political experience. Our friend and colleague Pat Kreitlow will be interviewing Executive Crowley tomorrow morning on Mornings with Pat Kreitlow at 8:50. We will also be interviewing him tomorrow afternoon. After touching on Executive Crowley’s campaign announcement, we catch up with some national politics. Sec.
