Here's Episode 119 of Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast

00:00-12:12: Elon Taking Over USA

Pat opens the show sharing stories of how Elon Musk is conducting, or attempting to conduct, a coup in real-time, and MAGA Republicans across the country are fine with it. But it appears grassroots progressives are organizing and galvanizing a movement to fight-back against this oligarchical and White Christian Nationalist takeover.

12:13-38:14: Michelle Adams Interview

Pat interviews University of Michigan Constitutional Law Professor Michelle Adams on her new book, "The Containment: Detroit, The Supreme Court, and the Battle For Racial Justice In The North." Her book focuses on the consequential Milliken v. Bradley case, in which the Supreme Court issued a ruling that's maintained segregation in our nation's schools. It's a fantastic and engaging read that tells the story of how close we came to true school desegregation in Detroit, and what kinds of lessons we can learn going forward.

38:15-46:38: Trump's Insane Gaza Plan

In the "Last Call," Pat not only calls-out the insanity of Dear Leader Trump's plan to clear-out all Palestinians in Gaza, but he also calls-out Democrats and liberals attacking the Arab-American community for opposing Kamala Harris in the '24 election.
