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. Thompson shares his views on topics such as: tariffs, cuts to USAID and USDA, cuts to NOAA and the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab, and cuts to universities that perform studies designed to help farmers.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports on a poll showing Americans end 2024 with grim economic outlook, but Republicans are optimistic for 2025.
The economic outlook for many Americans remains negative as 2024 ends, with a significant portion of the population expressing dissatisfaction. A recent AP-NORC poll shows about 70% of adults view the economy poorly, driven mostly by Democrats, where only half rate it positively. Although the unemployment rate stands at 4.2% and the stock market has improved, economic insecurity prevails. One-third of Americans worry about affording groceries, and around 30% are concerned about holiday expenses. Households earning less than $50,000 report heightened anxiety regarding these costs. In contrast, approximately 70% of Republicans expect economic improvement under Trump's potential leadership in 2025. Looking forward, Trump suggests tariffs on countries like Canada and China and plans to revisit parts of the 2017 tax cuts, but specifics remain unclear.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

With just four days to go until Election Day, Vice President Harris and former President Donald Trump are set to hold back-to-back rallies tonight in Milwaukee, highlighting the state's crucial role in this year's election. As the candidates rally, a new AP-NORC poll shows a divide in voter trust, especially between Republicans and Democrats. Seventy percent of Democrat voters say they have strong confidence that votes will be counted accurately at every level - local, state, and national. But only about half of Republicans feel the same about their local counts, and fewer trust statewide or national tallies. There have been a lot of concerns over voter fraud, driving a divide. Sixty percent of Republicans see ineligible voting as a major issue, although no facts have shown that, especially around mail-in ballots and drop boxes. But a similar percentage of Democrats trust the methods. Democrats are more focused on voter suppression tactics, which have reached all the way to the courts, with half seeing it as a major issue compared to about one-third of Republicans.
