Here’s Episode 103 of Michigan’s Premier Progressive Podcast!
00:00-14:28: Huckabee-Sanders Weirdness/Abortion & IVF/Yard Signs
We begin this week criticizing Arkansas MAGA Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee-Sanders’s attack on Vice President Kamala Harris for not having biological kids while attending a Dear Leader Trump rally in Flint, MI. Pat then exposes the hypocrisy of the White Christian Nationalist MAGA “pro-life” stance, and how MAGA continues to lose the women’s vote. Pat also follows-up on the lack of Elissa Slotkin for Michigan’s U.S. Senate Seat yard signs in rural parts of the state.
14:29-38:02: Dr. Josh Cowen Interview
Pat talks with Dr. Josh Cowen on his new book titled, “The Privateers: How Billionaires Created a Culture War and Sold School Vouchers.” Dr. Cowen is a professor of Education Policy at Michigan State University, and has written extensively on the failed school voucher movement. In his book, Dr. Cowen gives an insightful breakdown of the group of right-wing billionaires who’ve been behind the “school choice” movement for years, and how they’ve worked together on the school voucher scheme as part of their ongoing right-wing culture war in America.
38:03-44:03: Last Call/MAGA Bullying
In this week’s “Last Call,” Pat exposes how MAGA bullying is a cover for MAGA Snowflake behavior. He talks about how neighbors are getting their Harris/Walz signs stolen, and how this is reminiscent of when his Gretchen Whitmer for Michigan Governor signs were destroyed two years ago.
44:05-46:41: Ending/Polls/Go Tigers!
