Host Saeed Khan is joined by attorney Joel Sklar, labor and community activist Barb Ingalls, veteran journalist Nancy Derringer, and Deadline Detroit co-founder Allan Lengel.

The panel discusses:

• The hostility Dr. Anthony Fauci encountered on Capitol Hill.
• President Trump's visit to Michigan.
• The Nov. 4 election and what to expect.
• Trump's jokes—and bombs—at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
• How accurate are the polls?
• Are televised debates too light on details and too heavy on slogans

Hosts Vanessa Moss, Allan Lengel and Jim Nardone talk about the upcoming election, the polls and Detroit Black voters' attitudes about Arab candidates

Democratic Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit tells the co-hosts of Detroit in Black and White why he wants to be Michigan's next attorney general.

He talks about cracking down on employers who cheat workers out of wages, consumer protection, price gouging, voting rights, and the need to unite the Democratic Party.

He says he was motivated to run for attorney general after reading the Republicans' Project 2025 report, which he saw as a blueprint for dismantling democracy.

He will square off against Republican Doug Lloyd and Libertarian Jason Dye in the Nov. 3 election.

Hosts Vanessa Moss and Jim Nardone talk about voting fraud and President Trump's proposed Save America Act, which would overhaul federal elections by requiring voter ID at the polls and proof of citizenship to register to vote. Congress to date has refused to pass the legislation.

Host Saeed Khan talks with seasoned attorneys Steve Fishman, Bill Seikaly, and Joel Sklar; union and community activist Barb Ingalls; veteran journalist Nancy Derringer; and Deadline Detroit co-founder Allan Lengel.

They discuss: Sen. Lindsey Graham's death at 71; a judge voiding Trump's IRS immunity; the DOJ launching a grand jury investigation of UAW President Shawn Fain; Attorney General Todd Blanche's hearing; Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's desire for the military to conduct testosterone tests; a Wayne County judge representing a defendant in an East Lansing courtroom; and Vice President J.D. Vance telling podcaster Joe Rogan that he's concerned about the sexual optics of eating a corn dog in public.

One panelist suggests the public send Vance corn dogs. Another panelist, a friend of Sen. Gary Peters, names the senator the "Schmuck of the Week."

Hosts Adolph Mongo and Jim Nardone discuss reparations, the Senate filibuster, and the mystery man, Sen. Mitch McConnell.

Host Nancy Derringer talks with seasoned lawyers Steve Fishman, Bill Seikaly, and Joel Sklar; labor and community activist Barb Ingalls; and Deadline Detroit co-founder Allan Lengel. (Regular host Saeed Khan is on the road.)

They talk about: the end of the U.S. Supreme Court term, with major decisions on birthright citizenship, executive power, and transgender rights; a bounty of hilarity—the reflecting pool and the Great American State Fair; Sen. Slotkin's call for new Democratic leadership, which draws criticism; University of Michigan Regent Jordan Acker's apology after a university investigation confirms the lewd messages were real; and Schmuck of the Week.

Hosts Vanessa Moss, Allan Lengel, and Jim Nardone talk about the Constitution on July 4, birthright citizenship, Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, and carrying guns.

The New York Congressional Democrats who were endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani did well last Tuesday night. Is that a good indicator of where the Democrats are headed? Or will the Democratic Party's U.S. Senate race in Michigan with progressive Abdul El-Sayed be a better measure of where the country is headed?

The Week That Was host Saeed Khan discusses the matter with guests: freelancer and former Detroit News feature writer Jim McFarlin; seasoned attorneys Bill Seikaly and Joel Sklar; labor and community activist Barb Ingalls; veteran journalist Nancy Derringer; and Deadline Detroit co-founder Allan Lengel.

They also talk about the disastrous reflecting pool in Washington, the ongoing Middle East conflict, and some Schmucks of the Week, including CNN's Scott Jennings and GOP gubernatorial candidate John James, who shamelessly parrots President Trump's fraudulent 2020 election claims.

Hosts Vanessa Moss, Allan Lengel and Jim Nardone talk about rats and cockroaches and landlords who fail to keep rental properties up to standards.

The panel's advice for renters with issues like rats: Notify the landlord in writing immediately, document evidence, and report the violation to BSEED (Buildings, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department) to initiate a formal, free property inspection. 

Renters can call the city's Property Maintenance at (313) 224-2733 or (313) 628-2451. Or submit a residential rental complaint through the City of Detroit BSEED Rental Property Page.
