If you are worried about the pandemic like most of us are and are worried about the questionable decisions that our current administration is making, this show is for you. After seeing Bernie bow out of the race for president and endorse “Biden”, we interview two local candidates running in this year's election in Michigan.

We discuss why taking local positions for granted is a mistake and how even a small impact that a Drain Commissioner role can serve helps move the state into a more progressive status if we elect the right individuals.

They also tackle some of the failures that the White House has committed in their attempt to try and mitigate the virus. They also look at the science behind everyone staying at home and how it is impacting the environment.
