Here's Episode #188 of Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast!
00:00-9:48: Low "T" MAGA/MI Dem Won't Back Nominee
Left of Lansing's Pat Johnston opens the show with Secretary of Defense...er... sorry... Secretary of WAR, Pete Hegseth, wants more testosterone in the military. But Pat thought we were against gender-affirming care? Also, Pat laments how a member of the Michigan Democratic Party Establishment refuses to endorse a Democrat! Karen McDonald lost against the more progressive Eli Savit in the Michigan Democratic Party's Attorney General nominee. But McDonald refuses to support Savit's campaign. What happened to Vote Blue No Matter Who?
9:49-47:00: Show Voice Jessica Shepherd
Left of Lansing's "Show Voice," Jessica Shepherd, is in Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast's luxurious studio in Pat's mid-Michigan attic! Jessica and Pat talk about her decision to volunteer for Dr. Abdul El-Sayed's U.S. Senate campaign in Michigan's Democratic Primary race. They talk about what led to her decision to lend her hand in the campaign, why she believes Dr. Abdul could truly represent the working class in the Senate, and why he is the more electable choice to take on MAGA Republican "Florida" Mike Rogers in the general election.
