She's the consummate professional she's really hard working."If somebody were to sit down and say to me, the reason this happened is because of some conduct on the part of Erica Erickson, I can just tell you, in knowing her as a colleague again as a friend for over a decade that would blow my mind."The group also talks about DTE's $100 million fine for polluting Zug Island, the Supreme Court's ruling against President Trump's tariffs, and Trump's interference with the Gordie Howe International Bridge and Matthew Moroun's involvement.
