Most in U.S. say don't ban race in college admissions but that role should be small: AP-NORC poll
"As the Supreme Court decides the fate of affirmative action a new poll suggests what people in the U.S. think. 63% of adults surveyed in May by The Associated Press on the norc center for public affairs research say that the Supreme Court should not block colleges from considering race or ethnicity in their admission systems, but that factors such as grades and standardized tests should be more important, and there was little divide among political or racial lines. The poll reflects general support for affirmative action, even as the Supreme Court is about to rule on lawsuits challenging admission systems at Harvard and the university of North Carolina. It's unknown exactly how many colleges consider race in admissions. The practice has been outlawed in 9 states, including California, Michigan, and Florida, Donna border, Washington

Michigan governor to sign red flag bill
"Michigan's democratic governor is set to sign a bill today, imposing a red flag gun law. The law would allow family members police, mental health professionals, roommates, and former dating partners to petition a judge to remove firearms from those they believe pose an imminent threat to themselves or others. Questions remain over whether Michigan would see better success in enforcing red flag laws than other states have local sheriffs have told The Associated Press, they won't enforce the law if they don't believe it's constitutional.

The Truth About Sedition Charges for Proud Boys
"So I was asking you, how are these sentences a justified for Proud Boys oath keepers? Sedition, by the way, when was sedition used since the Civil War was it ever used? The last time the government tried to charge Americans with seditious conspiracy was in 2010 in a case the Hu to read tribe in Michigan. And the federal judge up there laughed it out of court, what's interesting in this 183 page sentencing memo Dennis is that there's so little case law. They're so to compare sentences with to make sure that the sentences are comparable. They actually had to mention terrorists involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed four people, was tied directly to foreign terrorist cells. That was one of their first comparisons. This is who they're comparing a man like Thomas all while too. Or Kelly megs or they will compare Joe Biggs. And Enrique tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, who is convicted of seditious conspiracy who? Uh oh, we're experiencing technical problems. It's hard to believe I am witnessing what I never entertained as a possibility in the United States.

Tamale Eating Mishap That Defined a Presidential Campaign
"I told my wife last night Richard as I was preparing for this. They said, the funniest story in here, I don't know if I'll tell it, but I'll tell it now. I don't know how to eat it tamale either. Because I'm from Ohio. We don't have tamales in Ohio. So tell that story again. I think I'd forgotten it. And it's hilarious. Well, first of all, there was a mistake. I mean, Ford sort of realized, remember, there's a Panama Canal 3D times. Reagan was really riding a crest in Texas was made for Reagan was a democratic crossover state so all the wallets voters had the option of voting for Reagan. And stupid Spencer said biggest mistake you ever made, the important of like $300,000. Into a Texas primary. Well, it was also, this is classic Ford on the eve of the Texas primary. He sent Henry Kissinger to Africa. To announce a 180° change in American policy toward Africa, no more support for white minority governments, beginning in Rhodesia. And basically sending a message to South Africa. It basically the days of our part time, our number. The problem is this may be a great policy and maybe do policy, but it's not going to win your votes. It takes us Republican primary. And he was warned by Jim baker by Dick Cheney and everyone else. Typical and very 40 went ahead. He goes down there to campaign. George W. Bush told the story the famous tamale incident where. Hey, he was from Michigan. He didn't know about tamales. So he takes the shot off and he tries to eat it. And of course, the media even then, let's face it. That incident, which of course was a picture, got more attention than anything else in his campaign. It defined him in a way. And it played into the notion. This is a nice guy.

What's next for abortion pill after Supreme Court's order
"Members of Congress are watching the legal process of a case involving a widely used abortion pill. Now that the U.S. Supreme Court allowed its use to continue, while court appeals play out. The Supreme Court decision late Friday means nothing changes for now in access to mifepristone. Congresswoman Debbie dangle, a Democrat from Michigan, says on Fox News Sunday. The FDA's approval of the drug should stand. What they wanted to do was to ban a drug that also is used in Cushing syndrome. I was a woman that suffered from meteoroids and was trying to get pregnant. When it comes to states, passing tougher abortion restrictions. South Carolina Republican congresswoman Nancy mace warns her party not to get too extreme. The vast majority of people want some sort of gestational limits, not at, you know, not 9 months, but somewhere in the middle, they want exceptions for rape and insist they want women to have access to birth control. She spoke on ABC's this week with George Stephanopoulos and appeals court in New Orleans in mid may. We'll hear arguments on a Texas judge revoking the approval of mifepristone. I'm Jackie Quinn

And I live in Wayne county, which is probably one of the most corrupt counties in Michigan. And I'm just begging my husband. He's going to retire and maybe three years to move south. And I can hardly wait. Now, Sunday, have you picked out any particular state? I mean, I live in Tennessee. I can vouch for the volunteer state. We're pretty good people down here. Yes, sir. I love the volunteers. At this point, Todd, I moved to north Ohio. It's so bad. But I do want to go more self than that. And I would love to move to Tennessee. I'd like to get a couple acres and do some farming. Well, I think that look, I think that's an excellent idea, and you know Sunday it's when you look at what's happening with China, buying up all of the farmland, we had somebody on the show yesterday talking briefly about that, and the fact that we could find ourselves in a shooting war with the Chinese very soon. I think that's a pretty smart thing to find yourself some property, start planting some crops and try to be a self sufficient as you can possibly be and get away from those big urban areas. Yes, sir, my people, my mother and father came from West Virginia. My mother's side, the coal miners, my dad's side was more white collar. But I absolutely loved the south, the people in it, and I agree with Howard. I don't want them moving down there and bring their politics with them. That's no good, but I would love to move to Tennessee.

This is the former congressman from the great state of Michigan. He is now the founder of lead America lead America dot org is where you can find it and you can give him a follow at rep Mike Rogers and congressman, thanks for being with us today. It's so important because not only are you formally of the house Intel committee, but you are also former FBI, former U.S. Army and you've got a great understanding of what's going on here. So thanks for being with us on America first. I am honored to be here. Thanks for having me. So let's start a little bit about what happened today. You see this 21 year old air guardsman from Massachusetts in federal court, Jack to share is his name. The mainstream news media going crazy to creating this pile of things. He was a God guy. He was a gun guy. He's an extremist guy. He looks like a 21 year old kid, but he did allegedly distribute some classified information. What do you make of his arrest and the charges today? Well, I mean, I think this is very, very serious. I mean, everybody is going to paint their political canvas on this, but what you have is somebody that fit the same profile, by the way, of Chelsea Manning. Do you remember he was in a very similar job? His job was to control basically a traffic cop for information flying across both secure and unsecure data transmissions. This is the same individual in a different place who also had this sense of in grand eisman. He thought, hey, you know, I could be important. I should be important. Nobody's noticing me. Intelligence work can be pretty lonely stuff if you really get down to it. So I think there's a lot of similarities and what he did. He'd knowingly broke the law. This isn't something that he accidentally did it. He knowingly broke the law. He puts things out there that he likely knew would harm the United States of America. And I don't think this is done yet either. So you think about it, I've read the affidavit. It's pretty thin. And we know that there's a lot more to the story, meaning that they went back to December and we're finding release of information December, January up till now, and we know that there were Russians in the chat room. Now, as an old FBI guy, I would say that's a clue.

Why the 2024 Electoral Map Is Far Stronger for the GOP
"The Democrats are nervous. They know the map. We're going to talk about this a lot moving more. This is why the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat is so important Republican Republicans couldn't care less. But if you just take a step back, you realize, oh my goodness, because the sun belt explosion and the reconfiguration of the census, you have to win three states. They're not easy states to win. The two of the states have more Republicans registered than Democrats and all three Donald Trump have won before. Listen to this, I was on the great Tim pools program last night, Tim cast played 31. Every ten years we do a census as mandated by the constitution. Most people don't know this, but the map has slightly changed in Trump and the Republican favor for the first time for 2024. So the maps are good for three cycles and then you redo them. Good for three cycles. Actually two cycles redo them. Well, what do you mean? Right right here it's saying, let me show you. Okay, so let's make let's assume Texas goes red. Is that fair enough to say? Oh, easily. And Florida. Yep. Okay, let's assume Pennsylvania goes blue, please. And then New Hampshire goes blue. And then all of Maine goes blue. Really? Yeah. Let me show you. Michigan goes blue. I know what I'm doing. And Minnesota goes blue and Minnesota. And then Nevada goes blue. And Nevada goes below Iowa goes red. In Ohio goes to rent. And North Carolina goes red. And that's okay. So what you have right here is why they fear Trump. All Trump has to do is win Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin and he's the president of the United States. Three states he won in 2016, three states that receive Zuckerberg money, three states that have elected statewide Republicans and three states that have more well, two states that have more Republicans registered than Democrats in Georgia Arizona and one state that's 50 50. This is why the Democrats are indicting Trump the map has changed. The map has slightly changed. That was not the case in 2020. You needed an extra state. You could get to a two 70 tie, but it required that small carve out in Nebraska or it required a Nevada required a Michigan required a Pennsylvania, blue states have lost population, sunbelt red states have increased population and it just so happened the stars have aligned that it's a three state presidential election. It's all right there. No one's talking about it at the time. Oh my goodness, who can win? Any Republican can win. Trump can win with this, especially to get your ballot chasing thing in order, especially if we win the Supreme Court. See, tonight in Wisconsin,

Ramadan begins for the world's Muslims, a pioneer of gospel music is rediscovered

Hundreds of millions of Muslims began the daily facts of Ramadan this week during Ramadan observant Muslims abstain from food and water from dawn to dusk and gather with family and friends for nighttime meals. Enjoy within the bandages now. Imad Hamad of Dearborn, Michigan, says it's like opening a new page with God each year. This is the way that is required to face the month. This is the way it's required to again guts rewards and gain the forgiveness and open a new chapter. That's why we quote Ramadan is a month of renewable. Islam follows a lunar calendar, so Ramadan starts about a week and a half earlier each year. For more than two decades, the work of gospel music composer, Charles Henry pace, sat silent and 14 unorganized crates. I knew we had this gospel collection, but nobody had ever really looked into it or really even figured out what it was. Christopher lynch is a musicologist at the center for American music at the university of Pittsburgh. We had about 140 pieces of music that didn't exist in any other library in the world. And might be completely lost. Lynch and his team discovered that pace was an early pioneer of gospel music. His independently owned publishing company helped elevate and expand the genre. I remember working in our music store. If my late teens. Francis pace barns. She was surprised at her father's impact. I think what I learned as an adult, I recognized, God, he was smart.

Mike Davis Shares the Latest on Trump's Looming Indictment
"Joining us now is Mike Davis from the article three project. So Mike, I'm told you are ahead of the curve on all of this. Walk us through it. What is the latest in breaking news? What do you know? Well, I mean, we see that Soros funded Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg seems like he's pretty determined to bring these political charges against president Trump and indict him on his bogus legal theory, trumped up charges on a bogus legal theory. They, you know, I don't know if he's pausing or backing down or what, because it seems like there were hearing word that the indictment could be pushed back to next week, but you still have the Bragg's office coordinating with the Secret Service, other federal and state and local law enforcement agencies. They have the security fence around the Manhattan courthouse. So it looks like it's full steam ahead for Alvin Bragg, mission accomplished for him politically. He's campaigns on the fact that he wants to take out Trump. If you look at his Twitter, both his Manhattan DA office and his personal Twitter feeds, he has penned tweets showing his Trump arrangements. And so this is going to backfire spectacularly on the Democrats. This is waking people up. Well, so let me ask you, what do you mean by backfire? I mean, because I have a ton of respect for you, Mike, but I'm not sure that's true. I mean, the Mar-a-Lago raid didn't wake anybody up. Well, I mean, at the Mar-a-Lago ray, Trump's poll numbers went up by 11 points, but the midterms were hardly a resounding success. Well, I understand that, but if you look at what they're going to do is unify the Republican Party around president Trump, they're going to do the impossible, which is to agree with that. Yeah, in the primary. I'm just not sure if regular I think I'm not sure if it's going to have this. I've been waiting for the boomerang for years when I'm getting that, right? And I don't mean to be cynical, but I see no evidence that any of this stuff actually backfires. It just seems as if we become less free.

Dean Cain on His Journey From Trailer Park to Princeton to Hollywood
"So dean, your life has been so fascinating. So I wanted to ask you a little bit about just kind of your journey before we talk about more of the news stuff. I saw that you spent some of your childhood in Michigan and then in California. And in high school, when you were in Santa Monica, you were excelling in sports, and you even played some baseball with Charlie Sheen and Rob Lowe. Is that correct? And what was that like? It's mostly correct. I grew up, so I grew up in I was born in Michigan, but I moved to California when I was three. My mom up and took off with her two kids. Her first husband was my biological father. It was not an ideal husband, was philandering and so she left and came out to LA to be an actress with two kids to the Asian kids. And we looked more on my given name as Tanaka. So she came out here with us too, and met and fell in love with my dad. Who she married a year later. And then through a really terrible story actually, a woman was raped and I believe killed in an apartment next to us or right near us. And then the next day myself and a couple other guys, my brother and another couple kids were out playing cops and robbers as they used to back in the day. And I was the youngest and so I wasn't able to have I didn't get to a gun. So I went looking for something and I found the real gun and it was apparently the weapon that was used and that day my dad borrowed, I don't ten, $12,000 from his parents in South Dakota and moved us to a trailer park in Malibu. And I grew up in a trailer park in Malibu, which sounds, you know, like trailer park. Yeah, but it was in Malibu. So we'd spend our days outside all day long on the beach, running around, and I grew up with kids like Sean Penn, Chris Penn Rob Lowe, Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, all those kids were just, we were all just part of this one little Malibu group. I guess all our parents were involved in the business, not all of them, but in some way or another. And so through this weird happenstance, those kids all ended up being actors. Now I played baseball Charlie for a long time. Rob, rob was never the great athlete. Rob even back in the elementary school was just all the girls loved him and he's so pretty. And he loved the girls back. So that was the that was the skinny and rob, so to speak. Charlie very good baseball player. Played on teams with him forever. And then went to high school, Santa Monica high school. And I was a good athlete student. It worked out real well for me. A lot of the kids are madly when they got to Santa Monica worked able to compete at that level, unfortunately. So a lot of the kids stopped playing sports, Charlie continued to play for a while. I don't even know what he did to seeing it if he played a scene here or not. And then I was lucky enough to with my grades and thank you to get the president of the university, had a wonderful career at Princeton. Grew up a lot turned into him and went from a boy to a man there and played very well. I played football. I mean, football ran track and I played volleyball. And then I got a chance to play for the Buffalo Bills afterward, which was great. And got hurt right away. And then it's been acting and directing and filmmaking ever since.

"I mean i don't know what more to say about this weirdness except i will point out that marino has been caught up in handful of controversies before including larry in extortion case hopefully gets resolved quickly. Nobody gets hurt but well. Can i just take a minute to ask people. Please don't get your honey where you get your money. you know. it's it's it's it makes things awkward everyone around you so if at all possible you know. You're you're beaten potatoes from different places couple of things about this. That make it especially strange first of all the noggins democrat marino's republican and in this hyper. Partisan world is amazing that the two of them were able to get together. apparently romantically. It's pretty clear for the statements that have made that there was some sort of romantic relationship at some point. The other thing is that the charges are both against him are probably very credible and very serious because the republicans speaker did not hesitate for a second and taking his republican member. Off of those committees. It's not like that. He dragged his heels or anything had to be prodded into it by the democrats This happened very very quickly. So i'm seeing a speaker of the house is just as concerned about this as anybody else very i. It's an unfortunate situation as it happens. And i've seen romantic affairs blossom in the capital before i worked for a governor who married a secretary for crying out loud. Jim blanchard bosses speaker of the house. Married a house staffer. They've been married now for forty years. So i guess it worked out but That happened gretchen. Whitmer better first husband when he was on the senate staff so you'll these relationships happen but very rarely do they go up in flames like this particular one and it said. I don't want to speculate too much on on what happened. There are other than the recognize. That had to be very very serious. Okay moving on actually the work of the legislature now instead of the scandals of the legislature it has been announced that there is bipartisan agreement on a new state budget for the fiscal year that starts in eleven days as we record this but they didn't give any details of what's in it but the governor and the legislative leaders all said everything is cool by on the regular budget there won't be a shutdown and So they've taken care of half of the problem solving figured out. How they're going to use the federal cornucopia of money that has come in or additional money as admit that may come in as a result of president. Biden's bill beg better infrastructure program. This is a story in progress but so far the disaster has been averted and speaking of the president's build back better program. There's some new polling specific to michigan as well as in other swing states that shows as the headline says our cousins friend and trinidad even supports. Build back better. And what does that even mean. I- i guessing it's It just means there's just so much widespread support. I guess so. I don't know well majority of michigan voters seventy percent support. The plan that includes eighty eighty six percent of democrats as you might expect but sixty six percent of independence and fifty four percent of republicans which is is cool The the plan involves things like lowering drug prices. Investing.

"Winston came up with a figure of five thousand dollars per person per year so we lost nearly thirty thousand people from twenty ten to twenty twenty and it times five thousand per person per year. I'm not a mathematician but it seems like that amounts to about one hundred fifty million dollars in federal funding per year. Give net a loss of population. And it's gonna had the most impact on health care funding from the feds and food and nutrition programs. Those are probably the two types of programs that are most dependent on census population numbers. Urban areas have traditionally than undercounted. They're harder to count because they have larger homeless populations and very hard to track those people down and they also have large populations of people that are simply just afraid of the government and don't want to respond. They don't have the voluntary response rate that you have in suburban and rural areas and so there's some hope for the city of detroit but i'm not gonna hold my breath on it. It was just a bad situation all around bought. We talked about this for. I think we've talked about it for two years actually Michigan league republic policy was out talking about the fact that detroit was going to be undercounted. I have no idea how many people they lost but people just did not get counted. You know there was a pandemic. There was an idiot in the oval office. So here we are now muan. Yeah let's move on. There's always more to talk about this time. let's start with a couple of stories around some state representatives. this is This is also disturbing. I'm gonna start with joel jones democratic representative for the eleventh district which is garden city. Inkster that area in april of this year. He was arrested by the state police who found him in his suv. In a ditch. The police have been called by multiple witnesses because the driving was insane like just so reckless. At one point driving eastbound in the westbound lane of i ninety six anyway ultimately he rolled over into a ditch. That's where the police found him in his passenger and he had a loaded forty caliber glock handgun in the vehicle. His pants are undone. The woman with him was unresponsive vomiting and it would later be revealed that his blood alcohol level was allegedly point one eight so more than double the legal limit. Now this is back in april upright and this is a serious allegation even though it may sound funny and parts you know. Because he's a lawmaker right. It's he's violating a law in a way that kills people and that in itself is bad enough. If that's where it stopped that would be bad enough but that's not where it stopped. And he started fighting with people. He told the state troopers the same night that he was going to call gretchen. Whitmer and she'll take their id's and their badges. He said he was in charge of their budget. Threatened them all that and if it stopped there that would be bad enough but it still didn't. He still obstructed he. He pushed an emt. He was to get into the ambulance. That was there for his passenger. Who was unconscious. They officers by the end of the night whilst the officers taste him twice and use pepper spray on just to get him into handcuffs and so he spent the night in county and at the end of it all ended up with eight charges against him and then You know and he was released on bond. He agreed not to drink Mere he agreed to random drug testing that kind of thing and then he went to facebook and he made some light..

"We have abundant supply of freshwater Which can be used if it's used smartly and reuse and as you're seeing the impacts of climate change are accelerating droughts and fires parts of our country and arts. The glow just aren't going to be sustainable places to live and work or have a manufacturing facility or anything else and so the prospect of climate migration to the great lakes and to michigan is real. And it's allie beginning to happen a little bit already as you know firms aren't going to locate a a facility where they have to have risk of running out of water which they need to the art of their production.

We are also impacted by climate change. We're kind of climate change friendly compared to some parts of the world. We still see these weather. Bombs and dramatic rain events that Oil our infrastructure in places like detroit and so the other opportunities for us these new jobs in business growth by wien kind of resilient engineering and design and infrastructure developer So we can pioneer the systems that manage those a water overflows and so we don't have these costly damage done in fact we're already In the middle of doing this university of michigan here as pioneered some tech laced Sensor devices that can both Monitor and manage water flows in wastewater infrastructure. So he don't have these overflows and figure out how to deal with these large events and you know even sensors that go in and can guide automatic repair of of water sewer lines that are underground so we don't have to dig them up and replace some others. There's lots of work to be done around the world through to build a new sustainable infrastructure systems and technologies and we have the innovation horsepower in our companies diversities.

"John we're talking about a huge ton of money prospectively for the state of michigan coming in for infrastructure primarily but also for human investment. Let's start with with the infrastructure money. That's in infrastructure bill one if you will the invested america bill. What is the practical impact on added michigan. How will you and i feel this. But it'll be a boon for us. Help us do some things that we haven't figured out how to do ourselves really a you. Michigan midwest states generally have some of the most graded infrastructure. Not just the famous ruins but obviously water and sewer and we have Very costly repairs to bring those up to where they need to be so You know we of Whitmer campaign to fix the roads a little bit of money going through the bond but not nearly enough. So this what eight million michigan all is. Allow us to put seven. This is just in the bipartisan package. To all human infrastructure that make them would also be that at seven. Three billion road repair which we desperately needed a almost a million or more or Billion for water and sewer repair and rebuild. Which is terrific broadband extending broadband. We have many row. Communities and many inner city residents at the don't have access to high speed internet and we've seen in places like marquette which has wire there you'd reason for broaden when you extend broadband it allows businesses to participate in the economy's allows people live and work From places that are a little more remote. It really is an economic and community development driver. So this is a real opportunity to stitch together.

"Yeah and it's really not worth it but You know. Let's let's talk about this bill for a minute. You remember. originally president biden proposed two trillion. And we knew he wouldn't get that starting number. We talked about that but one point three is pretty strong. Nineteen republican senators voted for the bill. And it wasn't just the mitt romney's in the susan collins but some of the less palatable ones like mitch mcconnell as we mentioned lindsey graham chuck grassley trump was out there campaigning against it but biden. Got it done so I think i think part of that. bipartisanship came from the fact that it's an infrastructure bill so infrastructure that means growth. Its growth bill. In the short term it it creates demand for a lot of good paying jobs in the long term it creates capacity for more economic out. But i think this was a great bipartisan. Win and you know. Senator peter said every dollar invested his six dollars say the business roundtable ivan lincoln. The shutouts said that every dollar invested in infrastructure asta drives about three dollars and seventy cents in economic growth. So even if you don't think it's that much money it's still you know. Investing in infrastructure is all about economic growth as well of course nothing good can happen involving joe biden and democrats. That is an immediately criticized by would be governors of the republican point of view in michigan. None of the announced or people who are considering running for governor candidates on the republican side as had anything to say positive about the infrastructure bill even though as you point out no donald trump we have been against this bill but it was donald trump who announced a two trillion dollar infrastructure agreement with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. They had this big happy talk at the white house. And trump said we can get right down to it as soon as you drop the impeachment and that was as far as it ever got it was infrastructure week every week at the white house back then nothing ever happened. But you have like tutored dixon. Slamming governor whitman support for the infrastructure. Plan calling it fake and saying that it creates for taxes. Which of course is a lie. It doesn't raise any taxes. It might indirectly have an impact on taxes. Some people pay but republicans just absolutely demanded that we spend all this money without raising any taxes at all which is sort of like the miracle of the fishes and loaves but they use some very creative bookkeeping..

Certainly he has some cachet at nationally I think he has a lot of costanza trait but You know when. You're according republican votes in michigan You've got to be thinking about eighty three counties. Frankly and you've got to be thinking about rural cami And you've got to be thinking about the areas where you can pick up a lot of votes. I don't think any detroit. Or i don't think any democrat has looked at republican. Excuse me has looked at Detroit of the place. They're gonna get their book based from right Obviously got some some suburb pecan court but Yeah i mean. I think fundamentally michigan people wanna hear about michigan issues then. I think we've seen that in a couple of campaign. Now i would say in alaska notorial cycle Dole's ads entire platform is based on a basically a national healthcare issue. Right he wanted the the medicare for all He was pushing something to the state level. Plan but with no clear It wasn't clear how that would actually be implemented at the state level. It seems like he would need them. At the very least partnership in that is i would show scrums and there would be journalists from other countries share to cover up dole. Stay on But that really did not play while in michigan frankly and got some whitmer Has talked about how she focuses on dinner table issues. She did that in the last campaign. I've no reason to expect that she wouldn't do it and let campaign and that that really did resonate with people in twenty eighteen and i think that we can expect it to do some resonating and twenty twenty to get the you say. No big names have been a lot rumored and then they've all shut it down which is really unusual. Both the kurds majority leader in the previous speaker of the house were rumored and botha out of it. Candace miller the republicans have been wanting to run for a lot of things for a long time and she's perfectly happy in mccone county of at the one name. That is now being rumored among some at least is betsy devos and certainly she wouldn't have to worry about name. Identification nourished you have to worry about money that reputation that you built up in the trump administration. That could really help her. I think So within the private within the party certainly and you know frankly a lot of the party right now is looking our allegiance to trump the litmus test and i know that there's some more traditional republicans don't like your that but we just saw on jason a executive director michigan republican party Leave and Some grassroots activist start talking about how. This is a part of the rhino on. So i really do think that You know the the republican base is in a very weird place right now. They have not had a reckoning after the twenty twenty election as to whether they're the party of trump or whether they're the party of a set of ideal And i think that that's going to be really hard for any candidate court but you know the easy way to do it. I think would be how what trump elite in canada. The one other possibility that has occurred to me would be after the new congressional maps. Come out from the redistricting commission. We are going to lose one member of congress if somebody's not going to get reelected and if a republican thinks that they may be the victim of that system. Might they not opt to try for governor. Say somebody. I don't know if either of the two trump resistant members of congress or if it would be one of the others but certainly that's an opportunity for them as well to come with the candidate who says at least one major election..

The governor is already made is to invest large sums of money in continuing education through the community college system primarily for the skilled trades but for things as well like nursing and other medical Medical professions up that could be very lucrative and don't require a four year degree good move so generally answered yes to be. I think they're really or the first is higher it in general but the community colleges in particular have really low completion rates. The cost of tuition is mad. The major reason low completion merits so unless you substantially improved the completion rates. The money basically is not going to end up doing what it's intended to do so you have to fix the completion problem along with the free tuition to have a program that's really effective in moving people up Into better paying jobs.

We have remained friends over the decades. Luke leisure you spend a lot of time analyzing michigan's economy and how we make it better over time. We had this incredible influx of money. That's already here. Plus more than his promised for the infrastructure plan and possibly also through the american families plan. How should michigan invest the so that is not just one off money and five years from now. It's money that's long gone so that's actually not such an easy question answered. Be honest with you. I mean i think the normal instinct. If you don't wanna take on nuku movements is going to be the us the money or you know sort of physical project sort of building graduates. Ready broked bridges schools particularly with schools. Making sure that they have the air circulation. That's needed in time. Coated water sewer led by and god only knows there's a very long list of sort of infrastructure investments that we failed to make over the last Twenty years thirty years however long that are worth doing we as michigan future. We have certain a different perspective is new. Money can be used is essentially all that different than the pros. Which is the sir fundamental challenge that she is facing economically. Now is that. Structurally we have to Economy wherever economy. That's keep for the upper half Leaving even when it's strong wasn't twenty nineteen is leaving for your shoe mission also behind a lot of those. Oh to working adult. In the united way doing this alison analysis which is just a fancy acronym that they're using for certain calculating the proportion of households in missionaries struggling to pay the bills pay for based subsidies in in two thousand nineteen was almost four in ten. Now with only four comey's study under thirty percents so sergei replaced in the state. So our sense is is a strategy michigan. It's been pursuing for the last twenty or thirty years. If you define economic success sir also do while like now the dead strategy worth in what we should be using this neutral money for is to make the move away from sort of the old balance is that haven't were tuned. Tuning pouncing machine that specifically designed to achieve rising income for all the economy is grows benefits every and we understand that you make the pivot. Some of the driven put in place is all it'll be funded temporarily but our since is as let's get going at net stuff when the federal money runs out our hope is that the legislature in the governor will agree that it's important enough to continuing to fund long-term one of the pivots. The governor is already made is to invest large sums of money in continuing education through the community college system primarily for the skilled trades but for things as well like nursing and other medical Medical professions that could be very lucrative and don't require a four year degree a good move so generally answered yes to be. I think they're really important. The first is higher it in general but the community colleges later have really low completion rates. The cost of tuition is mad. The major reason trillo completion merits so unless you substantially improve the completion rates. The money basically is not going to end up doing what it's intended to do so you have to fix the completion problem along with the free tuition to have a program that's really effective in moving people up Into better paying jobs. That don't require for you. Wanna do the second challenge. Which i think in terms of the big pictures. Probably more severe seventy percent of michigan goldstone before you agree. There's only about seventeen or son of michigan jobson. Twenty nineteen paid enough to support a household of three at the middle class. Let that don't require for your degree. So the funnel very narrow in this notion that we keep telling ourselves that there's a boatload of I'd paying supposedly skilled trades. Or what's the term were using ounce professional trade since they wanna include healthcare on the idea along with construction Things like installation maintenance repair candidate. Jobs is just not accurate. We really need a strategy that helps all low paid workers nine just a small number of low page. Paid workers for boom is the step of job. So that's the caveats in general providing training to.

"I am not a lawyer not even google lawyer. None of that. And i didn't dig into their claims because their claims were just so silly unleashed the crack. And give me a break if you had a crack and it would have already been out in the open. Those people weren't holding anything back and so the way they were speaking pandering to This maga crowd. I think there was. There was one attorney who made a connection between these lies that these attorneys spread in. These is the attorneys. Aren't the only ones doing it. But they were very high profile. And like i've said before while they in creating these lawsuits they've created documents and artifacts of this lie that are now legal mall legal artifacts is what they are now and so you keep adding legitimacy to this lie. That led to january six insurrection where people died and his biden. Put it the confederate flag and cross the capital. I mean entered the capital or something and not since the civil war has happened. It didn't even happen in the civil war. They never got inside. Yeah i forget what he said. Actually but i have the quote in the show notes. I think what they did is very destructive. I hope they get sanctioned if they do get sanctioned in michigan's eastern court than there are other courts with reciprocal agreements that will likely follow suit and Well barred you know and they'll get disbarred from there or not be allowed to practice. Let's move stuff. That is so discouraging and go to something. That's fun to talk about. And that is money and money coming into the state of michigan while all the political battles continue. There's a little matter of the three point five. Trillion dollar invest in america. Bill being carefully shepherded through congress. There's going to be a key. Vote on it in the senate on wednesday. We're not going to get into the nuts and bolts of the dc debate or the bill..

"Repayments laggardness attention broke college students. Yup i i saw that they Texas republicans did advance voting restrictions and a special session and If i if. I'm reading this correctly they did it overnight. In one of the things that they banned was overnight voting at. It's kinda called out one of these articles. I think the washington post article that we're going to link to so ironic. What's really interesting about voter suppression. This time is that they're just doing it right out in the open damon care. They don't even care that we know what they're doing and i agree with you. It's not really the photo. Id that people are upset about On the on the more liberal progressive side of of this fight. It's not the actual picture. Id or anything that says you have to prove who you are. It's those back door poll taxes and the one. That's especially egregious in. Michigan is taking away the affidavit of identity on the back of a ballot application and replacing it with a provisional ballot that you then can't even count you can't your vote won't countless you go down to the clerk's office within six days prove you are who you are with a higher standard than what you would have to prove if you were there voting with your id and then if that clerk gets it over to the people who count it in time then it will be counted That's that that's something that i'm i would do it just out of spite. But i mean that's a burden even on me. So and i say even on me because i'm relatively privileged with my time. And you know bid it my mobility and being able to get to places. So that's the kind of stuff that's upsetting but when you see on their social media whenever you see them talk about it. The republicans are all like well if you have to have photo. Id to buy a beer. Why can't you have photo..

"Governor whitmer made it clear that michigan would welcome newton ganders when that happens we are proud to be a home to a very diverse population This is something that has been a great strength for for our state and something that has auto industry drew people in from all around the world because he could get a good pain union job and raise a family on so. This is a place where we always wanted to be welcoming to people that are looking for an opportunity and a better life and so michigan will continue to do that. And that was governor whitman on. Nbc's meet the press it. Can i just point out how different that is from rick. Snyder's messaging on. How yes we welcome immigrants but you have to have this much money and you have to do this this and this and it was all about investing in michigan. Which has its place. But that's not. What a refugee is and It was really cool to hear her. Say that and it was cool to hear that popping sound that you get with republicans head pops off her. Her encouraging refugees come to michigan so many of them are small entrepreneurs though just in my own neighborhood. What are my favorite restaurants locally was started by a family for me and mar and it's just a wonderful restaurant. They started with nothing for the first year. They were living in the restaurant because that's all they could afford. It got to the point where they bought the building. They're rehabbing it and they're continuing to rehab it even during the pandemic and it's that kind of spirit that really builds america and its first and second generation new americans that are doing it. I always like to remind people that Some of the greatest companies in america were started by first and second generation immigrants Steve jobs was son of an immigrant. Look if you are fleeing a humanitarian crisis coming to america. You've already shown that you have a tremendous amount of resiliency and determination and you're coming here for reason. It shows in the work that they produced what they do for the country. So i i respect us people. Let's end this all on a very happy note and that is twitter's becoming a little more tolerable these days. It's been one hundred days since the former guy was banned from twitter. Edit it has been a huge relief. I think about it as a preparing every weekend for the podcast that i'm not worrying about what is going to be tweeted on sunday morning at the last second. That's just totally a name. That's going to take over the headlines. And i love the fact that i get the white house Daily press briefings and every day. They send out an advisory what the president and vice president have scheduled for the following day and generally for the weekend. It says they're not going to do anything publicly. Maybe go to church. And i love it now. Joe biden did play golf this weekend for the first time in his presidency so shame on him for playing golf although he did play..

"The first confirmed cases in the state. That was one year ago this wednesday. How far we've come now with nearly sixteen thousand michiganders' killed by this virus in the last year and the numbers have stabilized but they are still at a very high level We've got a long way to go. Like i said before We can't we can't give up blocking and tackling yet because we're still on the ten yard line. Were not in the end zone by any means. I just want to remind people to understand. This is going to be a very tough time for a lot of people in the detroit area because We are coming on the time when they just basic their ass kicked by covid nineteen. I lost five friends all within a couple of weeks and it was such a painful time. So keep your friends in mind as they go through this horrible anniversary another poll. That was run by epic. Mri the governor's approach to the pandemic still has the support of the majority of michiganders. But that support is drinking. She still gets a positive job. Approval rating that key to percents forge zeppelin percent. Her favorability rating is forty nine percent positive to forty four percent. So it's it's clear that her her work is still supported by the majority of michiganders' but also that this past year has just been a trying time. We even sixty nine percent giving the michigan economy negative rating which is up from forty nine percent last summer. It'll be in the shutouts. it's tough it's tough time. It's also very cynical time to people. After the last year. I think are exhausted with politicians and government and everything else in the epic. Emory poll both joe biden and gretchen whitmer. Visually pulled identically on favorability biden. It was forty nine forty five widmer forty nine forty four trump by the way came in at forty percent favorable fifty five percent unfavorable and kamala harris came at forty six forty two so kind of breaks down along the partisan split in michigan but people are much happier about as you say The way the governor's handling the problem. That is coming down But she joe biden still get positive marks. I suspect that biden's remarks especially are gonna come up quite a bit now that the congress has reached agreement on the covid relief bill. And we're all going be getting a huge deposit into our checking accounts are getting a large check in the next few days and you may recall. We mentioned a problem that they had that the could have been a political firestorm. Had they not addressed it in. That was the fact. That unemployment benefits are taxable. One of the things included in the covid. Relief bill is to make the first ten thousand two hundred dollars of unemployment benefits last year. Tax exempt. so if you're in a ten percent tax bracket where most people are gonna be if They've lost their job and they're living on unemployment. That's a thousand dollars more in their pocket that they're gonna have to pay up to the irs. At least that was one crisis averted in the bill and the overall bill wall street loves it..
