Jay Rothman Isn’t Done Demolishing The Wisconsin Idea (Hour 1)
The Todd Allbaugh Show turns three next week, and since the very beginning, we have pursued the truth about UW System two-year campus closures. While every governmental organization has opportunities to “trim the fat,” these closures have taken place under an incredibly suspicious veil of secrecy. The scant information we do get from the Board of Regents leads Todd to an uncomfortable conclusion: both Republicans and Democrats are probably in on it. If you don’t like it, call your representatives and the Board of Regents or UW System and demand that they make their meeting notes public. At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Political Editor and Founder of The Recombobulation Area Dan Shafer joins us once again to help us put the pieces together.

Does Artificial Intelligence Belong In Music? (Hour 2)
This morning on CBS Mornings, Gayle King interviewed Telisha “Nikki” Jones, creator of the AI artist Xania Monet. Jones writes lyrics and uses AI tools to generate the music from nothing.

Dems Won Big Yesterday, But They Can’t Get Cocky (Hour 1)
We begin today’s show with a quick public service announcement: according to WKBT in La Crosse, there is an Instagram account impersonating the WIAA and asking for personal information. We urge all listeners to use caution and only share your information via official channels. After that, we welcome Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to weigh in on the news of the day. At the bottom of the hour, State Senator and gubernatorial candidate Kelda Roys stops by to share her analysis of yesterday’s election results. We may not have had an election here in Wisconsin, but Sen. Roys says she believes there are lessons to be applied in our state.

Zommers Won’t Stop Velveting His Chicken (Hour 2)
The current lack of food assistance is affecting more than just human food. Families who are strapped for cash may also be struggling to feed their pets. Dane County Humane Society is holding a drive to help people keep their pets happy and healthy. You can get involved at giveshelter.org if you’re in the Madison area, but check your local humane society to see what you can do elsewhere around the state. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: turkey bacon or turkey sausage? We take some calls and texts before getting distracted by Aaron’s new chicken velveting technique. Earlier today, former Vice President Dick Cheney passed away at the age of 84. He has a complicated history, to say the least. Todd gives us a quick recount of Cheney’s role in America, for better and for worse.

Breaking: Trump Says He Won’t Fund Food Assistance (Hour 1)

To break down this possible impending constitutional crisis is our friend and legal expert Matt Flynn. He and Todd consider the legal ramifications and likelihood that Trump will back down from this statement. Next year, Wisconsin will have some very important elections.
