00:00-19:15: MAGA Plans To Destroy Economy & Women's Freedoms

The award-winning Pat Johnston highlights Project 2025's goals to destroy unions if Dear Leader Trump gets back into office. He also stresses the importance of the Michigan Supreme Court races, and to vote for Kyra Harris Bolden and Kimberly Thomas. Pat shows how MAGA Michigan Republican attacks on immigrants will hurt our state economy. And he closes the segment showing how Michigan Democrats keep producing results that actually helps the people and the state.

19:16-35:40: The Smearing of Rashida Tlaib

This week's elongated "Last Call" has Pat talking about the disgusting smear attacks against Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. Tlaib criticized Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel for charging pro-Palestine protesters on the University of Michigan campus. She gave an interview with The Detroit Metro Times' Steve Nealing in which Tlaib continued her criticisms of Nessel. That criticism led to the corporate media pressing a narrative that Tlaib used antisemitic language in her attacks against Nessel. However, Steve Nealing himself took to social media to attack media organizations, like CNN, for accusing Tlaib of antisemitism by claiming she said something... she never said! And even worse, a couple of Michigan Democrats jumped aboard the smear before ever reading the story. Nealing provided a "fact-check" piece to this story as well.
