Why is President Donald Trump having appointments problems? Marketing Resource Group President Tom Shields joins the MIRS panel to talk about how two Michigan high-rollers still don't have their ambassador appointments confirmed two years after the pick (4:49). Also, MIRS reaches into its mailbox and pulls out a letter from "Michael" who says it's "stupid" to write off Elizabeth Warren as a presidential candidate whose time has come and gone (11:36).

Rich Baird, the former top aide to Gov. Rick Snyder, insults senior Capitol correspondent Tim Skubick and the rest of the state press corps on Skubick's own show (17:34) and Shields talks about working with the Ilitch family, Willie Horton and the Detroit Tigers baseball (21:31).
