Here's Episode #186 of Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast!

00:00-19:44: Sen.Debate/Platner Out

The Dear Leader Trump Sports Curse continues, this time he helped lead to the demise of the U.S. Men's Soccer team in the World Cup. Pat covers a bit of the debate between Abdul El Sayed and Haley Stevens for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat, and how Stevens represents establishment Democrats who count on corporate bribes while refusing to fight for the working class. And, Pat gives his reaction to progressive Graham Platner dropping-out of Maine's Senate race, and how corporate-establishment Democrats are using Platner's demise to sink the entire progressive movement.

19:45-48:40: Diop Harris II Interview

Diop Harris II joins the show to talk about his progressive campaign for Michigan's 4th Congressional District where MAGA Republican incumbent Bill Huizenga is running again. Diop and Pat talk about his campaign, his progressive roots, his work in progressive politics in Michigan & Washington D.C., and why he's better suited to face Huizenga than the other Democrats in the race. They cover ICE and immigration, farmers, data centers, Medicare For All, corporate corruption, and more.
