  • “Fill in the Blank” for President

    “Fill in the Blank” for President
    Jul 12 2024
    Hard to believe, but there are stories other than the President’s health…but they mostly tie together. Among them: Gretchen Whitmer is on a national book tour promoting “True Gretch” including an appearance with Stephen Colbert, while saying that she absolutely is not running for President this year even if Joe Biden pulls out… Biden has his first defection from the Michigan congressional delegation: Hillary Scholten urges the President to end his candidacy – quote – "for the good of our democracy.” Inflation continues to go down, with prices on groceries, airfare, and used cars actually going down in June. Economists are united in warning that Trump's economic plan has the potential to crash the economy. In the “it’s about time” column, two members of Congress have introduced articles of impeachment against well-traveled, highly pampered Justice Clarence Thomas. The Authoritarian Manifesto “Project 2025” is finally getting the attention it deserves, and Donald Trump is doing what he can to put some distance between the toxic end-of-our-democracy battle plan and his campaign. Mention Project 2025, and he echoes Sgt. Schultz: "I know nothing...nothing!" And, oh yes, a four day fantasy camp is in Milwaukee this week: the national convention of the Donald Trump Kool-Aid Club. But topping it all is the turmoil amongst Democrats over Joe Biden. Party leaders have apparently discovered that Biden is old and finally admitting he’s showing signs of advanced age. That's the focus of this week's discussion. =========================== This episode is sponsored in part by EPIC ▪ MRA, a full service survey research firm with expertise in: • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management =========================== The 34 for 45 Commemorative Mug Felony schmelony!

  • I Dissent (Guest: Oakland County Commission Chair David Woodward)

    I Dissent (Guest: Oakland County Commission Chair David Woodward)
    Jul 2 2024
    On the week's podcast: As we celebrate the revolution 248 years ago that ended the rule of the British monarchy over our nation, we face the prospect of reverting to our British origins. The U.S. Supreme Court’s radical-right majority has effectively turned this and future presidents into Kings and Queens who are above the law, able to do anything (s)he want under the mantra of "Official Acts". So God Save the King, Joe the First. We focus on the implications for November and beyond. In more mundane-but-still-important news: Governor Whitmer pushes back in VERY plain language that she's angling to replace Biden on the 2024 national ticket, or that Biden can't win Michigan. In more normal news, there’s a new state Senate map from the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission. We’ll chew over the partisan implications. Louisiana’s Ten-Commandments-In-Every-Classroom law is challenged in the courts even as Oklahoma requires biblical training in public schools Lost in the deluge of last minute rulings is a Supreme Court decision which legalizes a form of political bribery Another little-publicized SCOTUS ruling represents a huge power shift away from both Congress and the Executive Branch - both subject to voter oversight - and into the hands of unelected judges with lifetime appointments. Michigan’s Legislature finalizes an $82.5-billion budget that targets education, housing, public safety and economic development Trump Whisperer Steve Bannon is in Federal Prison 🥳 We're joined on the podcast by a key leader of what may be Michigan’s most important county politically: Oakland County Commission Chair David Woodward. Woodward has served as Chairman of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners since 2019. He is in his 19th year on the commission.. He previously served as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives from 1999 to 2004. His day job is Michigan executive director of the Center for Progressive Leadership, where he’s worked for 18 years. =========================== This episode is sponsored in part by EPIC ▪ MRA, a full service survey research firm with expertise in: • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management =========================== NEW: The 34 for 45 Commemorative Mug Get your "34 for 45" mug today!

  • Lies, Sighs and Old Guys (Guest: Dr. Richard Cole)

    Lies, Sighs and Old Guys (Guest: Dr. Richard Cole)
    Jun 28 2024
    This week in politics: The U.S. Supreme Court gives Donald Trump the best possible gift: the longest possible delay in his federal trials In Michigan, a new state Senate map from the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission Louisiana’s Ten-Commandments-In-Every-Classroom law is challenged in the courts even as Oklahoma requires biblical training in public schools The Supreme Court also handed down a ruling which legalizes a form of political bribery Michigan’s Legislature finalizes an $82.5-billion budget that targets education and economic development And two senior citizens got into an argument about golf in Atlanta last night. We will devote most of the podcast to that argument and other things they discussed. We are joined by one of Michigan’s top political communications experts, Dr. Richard Cole. Cole was Governor Blanchard's communications chief and later Blanchard's chief of staff. He later chaired Michigan State University’s nationally respected Department of Advertising and Public Relations. He also served as the top communications man at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, working under company president Richard Whitmer … and was a close unofficial adviser to Whitmer’s daughter in her first campaign for Governor. Cole’s mentors include the legendary Dr. Edward Bernays, the creator of modern public relations whose principles of PR are still the standard a century later both within and outside of politics. =========================== This episode is sponsored in part by EPIC ▪ MRA, a full service survey research firm with expertise in: • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management =========================== NEW: The 34 for 45 Commemorative Mug Get your "34 for 45" mug today!

Engaging, Informative, Important - Must Listen

This is a newer podcast that covers politics in the State of Michigan. The two hosts are a former head of the state republican party and a former head of the state Democratic party. They discuss current topics and news stories, and how these impact Michigan politics and Michigan residents. Weekly, they interview a local politician, journalist, or leader. I get a lot of value out of this podcast, and I hope they keep doing it! I listen weekly and will continue to do so!

Commentary that leans left

I used to be a democrat before I knew any better. If you’re a Trump hating leftist this is the show for you. I didn’t find it informative. It’s just a vehicle to bash the right, conservatives, Trump supporters. You can get that from CNN, MSNBC mainstream media. I’m tired of it. I couldn’t make it through the whole episode. It’s sickening. Just the usual liberal bias with no proof. No wonder Michigan is such a hell hole in distress.
