Here's episode 97 of Michigan's premier progressive podcast!

00:00-14:36: Harris Picks Tim Walz/MI Primary Results

Pat discusses why VP Kamala Harris made a brilliant pick to make Minnesota Governor Tim Walz her running mate atop the Democratic presidential ticket. Populism is taking over the country. Rather than shunning that move, Harris embraced it by choosing the common sense progressive Governor. It helps paint a stark contrast both in style and policy between them and the rich and elite Dear Leader Trump-J.D. Vance MAGA ticket. And Pat covers some of the Michigan primary results.

14:37-38:38: Distill Social's Gina Keller

Pat talks with Gina Keller, co-founder and Digital Director of the powerful progressive outfit known as Distill Social. Gina's also the co-host of the Point of Disorder podcast, which covers Michigan and national politics. Pat & Gina talk about what Distill Social's been up to, the podcast, the idiocy of trying to ban TikTok, the new energy infusion from the Harris-Walz ticket, and more. Distill Social works on spreading the progressive message and activism happening in the state through social media. 

38:39-42:38: Last Call on Florida Mike's Saudi Ties

Democratic Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin will face MAGA Republican "Florida" Mike Rogers this November for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Debbie Stabenow. Rogers, who once criticized Dear Leader Trump, is now Dear Leader's buddy. But while he's ostensibly against America doing business with China and other overseas businesses, Florida Mike certainly didn't mind doing business with China AND Saudi Arabia during his post-Congressional years.

42:39-44:31: Ending
