Here's Episode 98 of Michigan's premier progressive podcast with Pat Johnston!
00:00-7:38: Weird MAGAS JV Vance/Matt Hall
Pat talks about J.D. Vance (or J.V., as Pat calls him) visited Michigan again to unload another uninspired, dark, and untrue version of America that he and Dear Leader Trump envision. Pat then highlights weird MAGA Michigan Republican State Rep. Matt Hall, and how he's spent his time opposing ways to make Michigan a more prosperous, safe, and free state. He's even vowing to gut the new minimum wage increase and Earned Paid Sick Leave laws scheduled to go into effect this coming winter. Once again, like Dear Leader Trump and J.V. Vance, Matt Hall proves Republicans are about Punishing the working class in Michigan.
7:39--18:19: Interview w/ Danielle Atkinson of Mothering Justice
Co-Founder of Mothering Justice, Danielle Atkinson, talks about the enormous Michigan State Supreme Court decision declaring how the Republican majority in Lansing back in 2018 acted unconstitutionally when they adopted and altered higher Minimum Wage and Earned Paid Sick Leave ballot initiatives. She talks about how Republicans gutted those laws, damaged the democratic process, and how these new laws will be a boon for both workers and businesses in Michigan.
18:20-42:14: Austin Marsman Interview
Pat next talks with Austin Marsman, Democratic State House candidate of House District 42. Marsman will face the disastrous and disturbing Republican House Minority Leader, Matt Hall. Marsman is hoping to become one of the few Gen Z members in the State House, which desperately needs the voice and perspective of younger Michiganders. He's spent his young professional life improving the lives for people in Allegan County, and now wants to improve the lives of thousands in both Allegan and Kalamazoo Counties. He believes in problem-solving, and being part of a freedom-based agenda Democrats across Michigan and the country are pushing.

41:00-51:38: Last Call-Harris Owes The Press Nothing!
In this week's "Last Call," Pat goes after the corporate media for its demands that Vice President Kamala Harris must do a press conference immediately. Considering their many, many failures in covering Trump, and covering for Trump, Harris is finding other ways to bypass the old media structure--a structure designed to report on the horse race, and help Republicans.
