The same goes for the MAGA Republicans in Congress, who are trying to pass $880 billion in Medicaid funding--funding that'll be devasting to rural Michigan residents with hospital closures. And why are Republicans gutting health care for the working class? So, they can pass trillions of $$$ in tax cuts for the elite donor base, like Elon Musk and Betsy DeVos. And Pat's incensed over the DNC's moves to oust party vice-chair David Hogg. 22:29-38:37: Michigan Farmers Union's Bob Thompson Michigan Farmers Union President Bob Thompson joins the show to talk about how Trump & Elon's cuts are adding pain to Michigan farmers, and rural Michigan.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on a new AP poll gauging Democrats' feelings about the party.

A new AP-NORC poll finds just one-third of Democrats are optimistic about their party's future — down from six in 10 last July. Only 33% of Democrats say they're very or somewhat optimistic — a collapse driven by frustration that leaders aren't pushing back hard enough on Trump's agenda. Meanwhile, Republicans' optimism is on the rise. Fifty-five percent of GOP voters feel good about their party's direction — up from 47% a year ago. But neither party enjoys widespread love. Only 40% of Americans view the GOP favorably, and just one-third feel that way about Democrats. Among Democrats, only 30% have a positive view of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 21% back Chuck Schumer, and Bernie Sanders leads with 40% approval. With gerrymandering and the Electoral College leaving 55% of Democrats doubting the system, the question is clear: Will the party find its next unifying leader in time, or will pessimism prevail?

How confident are you in air travel these days? In the wake of a string of recent airplane crashes, including the D.C. collision crash over the Potomac River and last week's Delta airlines crash in Toronto that flipped on the runway, confidence in air travel has slightly wavered. An AP/NORC survey shows that 64% of U.S. adults say plane travel is "very safe" or "somewhat safe". That's down slightly from last year, when 71% said that. Do the recent airline crashes make you rethink airline travel? Callers joined Dan to discuss.

(AURN News) — Most Americans continue to view air travel as safe despite recent aviation incidents, according to a new AP-NORC poll conducted after the fatal mid-air collision at Reagan National Airport and deadly crashes in Philadelphia and Alaska. The survey shows 64% of Americans feel very or somewhat safe flying on a plane, comparable to the 65% who feel safe walking and 63% who feel safe traveling by car. Public transportation received lower confidence, with 53% feeling safe using local subway, metro, or light rail systems. The nationwide poll, conducted February 6th through 10th among 1,112 adults, also found that 15% of U.S. adults felt neither safe nor unsafe about flying. Twenty percent reported feeling very or somewhat unsafe about air travel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
