Pat Johnston shares big news regarding the Michigan State Supreme Court as Democrats will soon increase their majority. Pat gives an update on how MAGA Michigan Republicans are close to gutting the wages of thousands of service workers in the state. But some Democrats in Lansing are helping MAGA get these bills across the finish line. Then, Pat has words for certain state Democrats who decided to show more fight in attacking progressives than MAGA this week.
15:16-42:44: Erica Payne-Patriotic Millionaires Interview
Erica Payne--Founder and CEO of Patriotic Millionaires--joins the show to talk about the major mistake some Michigan Democrats are making by helping MAGA water-down minimum wage and paid sick leave laws. Payne mentions the disappointment in Democratic Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks' decision to cave to restaurant corporate lobbyists. And she has some harsh words for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on this issue. Check-out her book, Tax the Rich: How Lies, Loopholes and Lobbyists Make the Rich Even Richer.
42:45-47:31: Last Call: Dem Leadership Failure
The "Last Call" focuses on the inability, and the incompetence, of the Democratic Party leadership in Washington D.C., and in the state. Do we need a tea party-like movement to remove these leaders?
