Podcasts about Dearborn

In Metro Detroit, it's not enough to talk about transit plans. There are tons of ideas out there. It's about action. I sat down with SMART General Manager and CEO Tiffany J. Gunter to dig into what it really takes to run a 2,000‑square‑mile suburban transit system that people can rely on. We get into the essential stuff: on‑time performance, keeping buses maintained and in service, and why Tiffany started by "going back to basics" while also upgrading shelters, adding Wi‑Fi, and insisting on more dignity for riders. We also also talk about the culture shift of running transit in a region dominated by the car, the 30% rise in ridership SMART is seeing, and how free student rides and better communication are building a new generation of riders who don't see the bus as "for someone else." You'll hear how Oakland County's all‑in vote opened the door for SMART's first new routes since the 1990s, why microtransit in places like Pontiac and Dearborn is exploding, and what's at stake as Wayne County voters consider going all‑in this August. Tiffany also explains why she rides the buses herself, why collaboration with DDOT and the Transit app matters, and where autonomous vehicles actually fit — as a last‑mile tool, not a silver bullet like many may think. If you care about where Metro Detroit's economy and talent go next, this one's worth the ride.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel On our political radar this week… A summer snowflake sighting in Wisconsin: Donald Trump stalked out of an NBC interview when his lies about election fraud were challenged by NBC's Kristen Welker. While Trump was attacking mainstream media as “crooked”, his allies at CBS were proving they fit that description by firing 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley for calling out management efforts to spin stories on behalf of Trump. Just days after proclaiming “ I don't think about Americans' financial situations,” Trump gave Democrats another campaign commercial saying that “he loves the inflation” … which has hit a 3-year high. Adding to the out-of-touch aura from the White House, he's reaching out to the average American as only an 80-year-old billionaire can do it: first by attending a basketball game where the cheapest tickets cost thousands, and then by offering a UFC 250 gold coin for $11,999.99. The Michigan sales tax on that trinket: $720. But it includes free shipping! © Clay Jones – https://claytoonz.substack.com Entertainment for Trump's 80th birthday party – the UFC concussion contests on what used to be the White House south lawn – has cost taxpayers upwards of $60-million plus thousands of hours of staff time according to the National Park Service. Add to that the $2-million or so it costs taxpayers almost every week for Trump's  weekly golf trip to Florida and you've got enough money to gift 6,000 or so Americans with Trump 250 commemorative coins. As Michigan State University looks once again for a new President, retiring U.S. Senator Gary Peters' name moves to the top of the speculation. This comes as retired Senator Debbie Stabenow and Governor Gretchen Whitmer say they're not interested in the job. All 3 are MSU alumni. CMS Energy is adding to the politics of affordability, asking for still another massive rate increase. The utility wants to raise electric rates by $486-million. This rate hike request comes less than three months after the utility received approval for a $217 million increase. Attorney General Nessel and multiple legislators are pushing back – Nessel fighting the increase through the Public Service Commission, lawmakers proposing measures to limit the frequency of rate increase requests. The battle for control of the closely divided Michigan Legislature is well underway. Democrats need to flip 4 seats to regain control of the state House; Republicans need to turn around 2 seats to win control of the state Senate. We'll get into the details with Kyle Melinn, editor of the insider newsletter MIRS News. Governor Whitmer headlined the ribbon cutting for an important bridge this week … just not THE bridge. While the Miller-Rotunda Bridge in Dearborn (important to the Ford Rouge Plant complex) is now open, the Trump administration continues to delay the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. The Trump roadblock for Michigan's economy is supported by state House Speaker Matt Hall, who says Michigan needs to renegotiate toll sharing for the bridge – even though Canada paid the full cost of construction. The New York Times is reporting that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer is promoting Haley Stevens' campaign for the U.S. Senate. This comes as Abdul El-Sayed surges in internal polls … all of this two weeks before the first primary election ballots go into the mail. Ballots begin going out to Michigan voters on June 25. Every elective state and federal job will be filled in the November election. While the spotlight will be on the races for Governor and U.S. Senate, there's a lot more at stake, including control of the state Legislature. That's where we started our conversation with visiting pundit and chronicler of Michigan politics, Kyle Melinn. Kyle is editor of the MIRS Report, the go-to source for Michigan political insiders, providing in-depth coverage of all of state government and politics. He's been with MIRS for 25 years, dating back to the Engler administration. In addition to his daily reporting, he is also a political columnist for Lansing City Pulse. © Clay Jones – https://claytoonz.substack.com ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Introducing our new podcast!

Send us Fan MailItaly is one of the most decorated soccer nations on the planet. Iraq hasn't been to the World Cup in 40 years. And Bosnia — a country that didn't even exist 35 years ago — just sent both of them a message the world wasn't ready for.In this episode of the MotivateMe313 Podcast, OZ Media sits down with Kenan Mahmutovic and David Numan to break down what just happened, why it matters FAR beyond the scoreboard, and what it means for every Arab, Bosnian, and Muslim community in America — especially right here in Metro Detroit and Dearborn.This isn't just a sports conversation. This is a pride, identity, and belonging conversation. And the 2026 World Cup is coming to American soil — meaning THIS community could be in those stadiums. THIS EPISODE WE'RE GETTING INTO: Where were you when Bosnia knocked out Italy — and when Iraq's qualification was confirmed? The moment our guests will never forget For people who don't follow soccer — why should EVERY Arab, Bosnian, and Muslim in America care about what just happened? How did Bosnia pull off one of the biggest upsets in World Cup qualifying history against a soccer giant like Italy? Iraq's 40-year drought is GENERATIONAL — there are people in their 30s and 40s who have NEVER seen Iraq at a World Cup. How did they finally get here? The community reaction on the ground in Metro Detroit and Dearborn — what did our people feel when those final whistles blew? For Arab Americans and Bosnian Americans carrying a dual identity every day — what does it mean to see YOUR country's flag on the World Cup stage? How does this moment connect Iraqi Americans and Bosnian Americans — who grew up here in the US — to a homeland they know through stories, food, and family? The 2026 World Cup is RIGHT HERE in the United States — what does it mean that this community can potentially walk into a stadium and watch their team play on American soil? Are Iraq and Bosnia just happy to be there — or do they have a legitimate shot at making noise in the tournament? The ONE thing every Arab, Bosnian, and Muslim fan in America should do before the opening match of the 2026 World Cup To every Arab and Bosnian American watching: For 40 years, people waited. For one generation, this is the FIRST TIME.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1354: Today we talk about Mazda trying to define what the brand actually stands for, Ford battling yet another F-150 production headache while inventory stays tight, and Ferrari shocking enthusiasts with a futuristic $640k EV designed alongside former Apple design legend Jony Ive.Show Notes with links:Mazda's U.S. CEO says the brand's biggest challenge isn't product, pricing, or even tariffs—it's clarity. As Mazda pushes toward 500,000 annual U.S. sales, Tom Donnelly says dealers will play the starring role in making the brand more distinctive and desirable.Mazda has hovered around 400,000 U.S. sales for two years and believes stronger brand identity is the path to 500,000 units.Dealers were challenged to rethink customer experience with shorter processes, stronger relationships, and what Mazda calls a more “sticky” ownership experience.Donnelly emphasized affordability as a major opportunity, noting Mazda's average transaction price is around $39,000 compared to the industry average above $51,000.Tariffs, incentives, and shifting production have pressured profitability, but Mazda says strategic moves like shifting Mazda3 sedan production to Japan helped improve earnings.“If you walked out of this hotel and asked 10 people what Mazda stands for, you'd get 10 different answers. That is my keeps-me-up-at-night thing.” — Tom Donnelly, CEO of Mazda North American Operations.Ford finally started climbing out of its F-150 inventory hole after last year's aluminum supplier fire… and then a broken hood die shut the line down again. The pause may only last a few days, but when you're already 60,000 trucks behind, every hour matters.Ford paused F-150 production late last week after a hood die reportedly broke at a nearby stamping plant that forms the truck's aluminum hood panels.The Dearborn plant was expected to sit idle Thursday night through at least Saturday, with Memorial Day potentially stretching the shutdown to four days.With two 10-hour shifts running daily, the downtime could cost Ford roughly 2,500 trucks at a time when inventory is already down more than 40% year-over-year.Ford is reportedly considering “super Saturday” or “super Sunday” shifts to claw back lost production and keep dealers supplied heading into summer truck season.Ferrari officially pulled the cover off its first fully electric vehicle, the Luce, and let's just say… the internet has thoughts. Designed with former Apple design chief Jony Ive, the $640,000 EV swaps engine roar for amplified sound and tradition for experimentation.The Ferrari Luce is the brand's first EV and first-ever five-seat Ferrari, using four electric motors to hit 0–60 in under 2.5 seconds with a top speed above 190 mph.Ferrari partnered with legendary Apple designer Jony Ive, creating a glass-heavy, ultra-minimal interior meant to feel more “analog” than tech gadget.Ferrari says range wasn't the priority, with the Luce targeting about 330 miles despite its massive battery pack.Online reactions were… spicy. Many enthusiasts blasted the design for straying too far from Ferrari tradition, while Ferrari shares dropped roughly 6% after the reveal.“As a car becomes electric, it doesn't mean that it needs to be a consumer electronics object.” — Ferrari Chairman John ElkannJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Jer and Devon are back at the table, kicking things off with Devon's recent trip to Pittsburgh and what Detroit can learn from its dense, walkable core, lively riverfront, and reuse of historic buildings. Then they swing back home as Jer heads up to the rooftop at The Godfrey to check in on the views, vibes, and espresso martini trees lighting up the night crowd. Devon pushes back on the idea that Dearborn is losing people, arguing the city is quietly adding residents, building housing, and skewing younger than most of Michigan — and he previews the upcoming Dearborn Night of Innovation and Bet on Dearborn business expo. Finally, the pair break down plans for a new 600-room convention hotel connected to Huntington Place, why downtown still needs more rooms, and how the project fits into the post-office, hotel-vs-residential debate in Detroit's core.

“It's a once in a lifetime project,” Leona Medley says, describing the Joe Louis Greenway as more than a trail, but a neighborhood-centered vision connecting Detroit, Dearborn, Highland Park, and Hamtramck through “four cities, 29 miles of trails.” In this Detroit is Different conversation, Medley opens up about her Detroit story, from family roots on the west side near Seven Mile and Prevost to becoming rooted on the east side for 30 years. She reflects on her mother, “my rock,” her family's Palmer Woods legacy, and the lessons of movement, protection, and possibility that shaped her. Medley shares how leadership found her after more than 25 years in work history and community development, saying the Joe Louis Greenway Partnership role felt like “a dream come true.” As Executive Director, she carries forward a people-first approach: encouraging the skills, talents, and gifts of everyone around her while advocating for beautiful green space in Detroit neighborhoods. This interview connects Detroit's past of family, migration, industry, and resilience to a future of access, health, and shared public life, leading into the grand celebration of Detroit champion Joe Louis on Saturday, July 23, 2026, at Warren Trailhead.

What does it take to make AI work in insurance, not just in a pilot, but in production?In the latest episode of the Leadership in Insurance Podcast, host Alex Bonds sits down with Kyle, founder of Clearcover and the newly launched Dearborn Labs, for a candid conversation about the realities of AI adoption in the insurance industry.Kyle brings a rare perspective: a decade of building one of insurance's most tech-forward carriers, and now a mission to bring those hard-won lessons to mid-market insurers everywhere. He shares how Clearcover achieved over 90% of claims intake through AI agents and 93% of policies found digitally - and why getting there was far harder than it looked.In this episode, Kyle and Alex explore:

Send us Fan MailThis program was previously aired on 12/13/2025GUEST: PASTOR DARRELL HARRISON, Co-Host, Just Thinking PodcastFive times each day the Muslim call to prayer sounds from mosques in Minneapolis. One might expect this in an Islamic country like Saudi Arabia or Iran, but in the United States, a nation that was founded and operated on distinctly Christian principles? The founders likely made the assumption that our nation would be and remain Christian, as early immigrants came from Christian European nations. They probably thought future Americans wouldn't be so foolish as to welcome hundreds of thousands of Muslims.But those with an unbiblical worldview of secular and religious humanism have taken power and hold to the spirit of Babel—that uniting all religions and peoples together will make us good and united. That will not work with Islam and its mission to dominate the world. Europe has puts its very existence at risk in bringing millions of Muslims into its nations and towns and now America is doing the same in Minneapolis, Dearborn, MI, New York City, and elsewhere.Darrell Harrison, shepherding and teaching pastor at Redeemer Bible Church (Gilbert, AZ) and the co-host of the popular Just Thinking Podcast, joins us to explain how Islam is less a religion but rather a political ideology of domination and how Christians should respond.Program Notes:Just Thinking PodcastRedeemer Bible Church (Gilbert, AZ)

Something has been happening in Michigan politics that deserves the attention of everyone who cares about the health of American democracy. And, as they so often are, the Jews are at the center of events. Taking root in Michigan is a specific and serious ideological threat—Islamism—that is gaining influence inside the Democratic party. This is a story about what happens when that influence is unnamed, accommodated, and finally normalized. And it is a story with major national implications. Muslim Americans serve in the U.S. military, teach in schools, build businesses, raise families, and love this country. Presumably, most Muslim citizens of America see their futures as bound up with the future of this republic, with no sympathy for those who would undermine it. But a radical Islamic political ideology has taken hold in specific institutions, among them the Michigan Democratic party. In March of this year, a Hizballah-inspired attacker drove a truck into the largest Reform synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, when over a hundred children were inside. Two weeks later, the Michigan Democrats held their statewide convention, and the incumbent Jewish regent of the University of Michigan—a man whose home had been attacked, whose family had been terrorized—was denied renomination and replaced by a Dearborn attorney who had praised Hizballah on social media. The leading candidate for the Democratic Senate nomination excused the synagogue attacker. And the pro-Israel Senate candidate was booed by delegates when she addressed the Jewish Voters Caucus. To discuss this growing threat, our guest this week is Jesse Arm, who grew up in West Bloomfield and is now a vice-president at the Manhattan Institute.

In Episode 304 of the FNO: InsureTech Podcast, hosts Rob Beller and Lee Boyd welcome back Kyle Nakatsuji for his third appearance on the show. Kyle is the CEO and Founder of Clearcover and the founder of Dearborn Labs, a new venture focused on helping insurance organizations turn AI from strategy into execution. Kyle explains how Dearborn Labs helps carriers, MGAs, and agencies cut through AI noise, identify high impact use cases, and implement solutions that deliver real business results. Drawing on nearly a decade of deploying production AI, he shares practical insights from claims and operations, why execution and adoption matter most, and why waiting to act is becoming increasingly risky. Kyle also shares a brief update on Clearcover as it enters its tenth year, including improved underwriting results, a return to growth, and the launch of Clearcover Access in Florida. Key Highlights [03:05] Kyle Nakatsuji Returns for His Third Appearance Why this moment feels different for AI adoption across the insurance industry. [05:10] Clearcover at Ten Years How a renewed focus on underwriting discipline and loss ratios set the stage for growth. [07:40] Launching Clearcover Access in Florida Why flexible payments and predictable fees better reflect how policyholders manage money. [10:25] The Origin of Dearborn Labs What Kyle saw in the market that led him to launch a firm focused on AI execution, not theory. [13:10] Why Insurers Are Drowning in AI Noise How vendors, pilots, and strategy decks distract from real business impact. [16:00] Discovery Before Deployment Why identifying the right problem to solve is the most important step in any AI initiative. [18:55] AI Agents in Claims Operations How Clearcover uses AI to replace recorded statements and reduce claim cycle times by up to three days. [22:30] Adoption Matters More Than Technology Lessons learned from rolling out AI tools inside a regulated insurance environment. [26:00] Cross Functional Agent Based Workflows Why claims, underwriting, and operations must work together for AI to deliver value. [30:15] Humans, Oversight, and Judgment in an AI Driven World What roles remain uniquely human as AI takes on more knowledge work. [34:10] The Cost of Waiting Why delaying meaningful AI adoption is becoming riskier for insurers. [37:45] What Comes Next for AI in Insurance Kyle's perspective on where agent based systems are heading and how insurers can prepare now.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, by order of President Trump, the Strait of Hormuz has been blockaded. Of course, thanks to Democrats, the U.S. Navy is trying to do more with less. And the Woke Reich, neo-fascists, and Islamists are teaming up to work against Trump. But this is bigger than Iran. China claims the South China Sea and has artificial islands there. If Iran gets away with closing the Strait and charging fees for passage, would China do the same in the South China Sea? But the woke right and Islamists don't care. They hate Trump and they hate Benjamin Netanyahu, the two men who are clear about the goal of the Iran war: no nukes. Period. Also, Jihadi Islamists are now embedded in the U.S., including a mayor in Paterson, NJ, an imam in Dearborn, Michigan, and figures like podcaster Hasan Piker. While the overall Muslim population in America is not yet massive, it is growing rapidly, and communities are concentrating in specific towns and cities. These groups form segregated communities where Sharia law exerts control, either openly or discreetly. Later, Mediaite's founding editor Colby Hall, has reportedly been suspended for alleged and “completely unacceptable errors.” It appears Mediaite has lost confidence in him. Afterward, Josh Hammer calls in and argues that the fake conservatives in the podcast space are motivated purely by self-interest and metrics, not by altruism or concern for the country, and their incentives harm the conservative movement and the United States. We should ignore these self-serving voices and seek out those in it for the right reasons - good people still exist in broadcasting and podcasting, though they are fewer than before.

Today's show comes to you from the Ford Experience Center in Dearborn, as Jer catches up with Devon O'Reilly at the city's first‑ever Dearborn Development Day. They dig into the future of the former Hyatt hotel at Fairlane — now moving forward as a Hilton‑flagged property — with plans for 168 residential units, a mix of restaurants and entertainment, and a revived rotating bar at the top. From there, the conversation zooms out to Dearborn's wider development push: the emerging 'Midtown' Fairlane area, West Warren streetscape changes, and new housing concepts around Lundy, the Eugene and Porath sites, and the Joe Louis Greenway. In the final third, Jer recaps his trip to the groundbreaking of the Gratiot Life Sciences Building on part of the old 'fail jail' site in downtown Detroit, why the two‑story project coming online in 2027 matters for 'eds and meds' jobs, and what BAMF Health and Henry Ford Health are planning there.

Though Sarah Robertson was drawn to design from an early age, she took a more practical route at first, earning an MBA from Northwestern and then working as a consultant at McKinsey & Company. But eventually her creative side won out: after purchasing properties and renovating historic homes in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood with her mother, she left consulting behind and launched Studio Dearborn. Since then, Robertson has built a reputation for kitchens that are as functional as they are beautiful, earning recognition as both an award-winning designer and a thoughtful voice in the industry. On this episode of the podcast Robertson and her son Owen—who recently became Studio Dearborn's second employee—speak to host Dennis Scully from the garage studio of their Mamaroneck, New York, home. They discuss Robertson's roundabout path to design, the Amish cabinetmakers she can't live without, and the organizational ethos that guides her.

On today's Daily Detroit, a fast-moving, food-and-development-heavy episode rooted in what's changing on the ground in metro Detroit.  Jer is joined by Devon O'Reilly and Norris Howard for a full-table conversation that spans ballparks, the best places to eat, and big bets on Dearborn's future. The crew starts with Opening Day, as Norris recounts one of the most beautiful Tigers home openers he's ever seen — complete with a cautionary tale about trying to outdo his dad.  Devon then takes us to Midtown for a deep dive on Mad Nice as a rare, reliable "power lunch" spot, breaking down its cocktail program, menu, and why its scale, aesthetics, and backing have given it real staying power past the three-year mark. From there, the conversation shifts to huge news for the region: Detroit and the Great Lakes are now eligible for Michelin stars. Jer, Devon, and Norris build their own shortlist of contenders — from Freya and Seldon Standard to London Chop House, Ladder 4, Grey Ghost, Saffron De Twah, and more — while debating consistency, creativity, and what a first star should reward. The focus turns west to Dearborn, where the former Hyatt/Edward Hotel site moves toward a major hotel-and-residential redevelopment, and Ford plans a massive "World Headquarters South" campus that will bring thousands of employees, Ford Performance, and new amenities to the city. Plus, we get into the Detroit Grand Prix that's starting to get set up, and coming renovations at the Motor City Casino Hotel.

1. Michigan Political Commentary & Dearborn Focus A Michigan Senate candidate avoided discussing the killing of an Iranian Ayatollah due to concern that voters in Dearborn were “sad” about it. This is evidence of Democrats allegedly pandering to Islamist-sympathetic voters rather than condemning terrorism. Dearborn is characterized as politically influential and ideologically radical in this framing. “America-hating Islamists” are gaining influence within Democratic politics. Prominent progressive Democrats (e.g., Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, AOC) are examples of this alleged trend. Support for or sympathy toward Iran, Hezbollah, or anti-Israel positions is portrayed as electorally strategic rather than principled. 3. Michigan Synagogue Attack Narrative A March synagogue attack in West Bloomfield, Michigan, which the FBI labeled Hezbollah-inspired terrorism. Details emphasized: Targeting of children inside a Jewish temple/school The attacker’s alleged ties to Hezbollah propaganda Failures in immigration vetting and firearm sales checks The incident is a sign of systemic risks posed by insufficient counterterrorism enforcement. Strong criticism is directed at U.S. agencies for allowing a naturalized citizen with alleged terrorist connections to enter and remain in the country. These failures are do to broader Democratic positions on borders, DHS funding, and national security. Vetting lapses are deliberate policy choices rather than administrative failures. 5. Energy Policy and National Security Argument Using a Washington Post editorial as validation, the text criticizes green energy policies in: Germany Taiwan California The central claim: anti-nuclear and fossil fuel policies weaken national resilience during geopolitical crises. Energy independence is presented as a core national security issue, not just an environmental one. 6. ActBlue and Foreign Donor Allegations The New York Times is reporting that ActBlue may have misled Congress about vetting foreign donations. Key claims include: Potential acceptance of illegal foreign contributions Legal warnings from ActBlue’s own law firm Risk of criminal investigation or shutdown This is evidence of foreign interference benefiting Democrats electorally.

Patrick opens the show with a blistering takedown of Colorado Democrats who, fresh off a Supreme Court loss declaring talk therapy protected speech, immediately doubled down with new legislation redefining counselors' words as “conduct” , the exact tactic the Court just rejected. He exposes how the left's playbook never changes: pass the law, bleed opponents dry in court, and let taxpayers foot the bill while they wait 3–5 years for the next ruling. Patrick also calls out Colorado's latest power grab forcing lawyers to pledge they won't assist federal immigration enforcement and asks the question every fed-up American is thinking: when does this one-party authoritarian rule finally hit your own front door?Patrick unpacks the erosion of American values with hard-hitting clips and analysis. From Rahm Emmanuel slamming his own party for prioritizing trans athletes over kids who can't read, to a Michigan Democrat quitting over radical social policies and an Idaho senator declaring “those kids in that classroom… they're ours,” Patrick draws a clear line: parents, not the state, raise their children. He connects the dots to Dearborn schools, South Africa's refusal to abandon race-based DEI, and the disturbing New Jersey congressional candidate running his entire campaign ad in Hindi proof that assimilation is no longer expected.Patrick doesn't sugarcoat the bigger picture: while Republicans talk, the left imports its future voters, funnels American tax dollars to illegal immigrants (see Minneapolis' $2.8 million rent giveaway), and dreams up new ways to squeeze every last dime from citizens from surprise parking fees in New York to the satirical “sunshine tax” and worse. With the pendulum poised to swing hard, Patrick makes it clear this isn't just politics anymore it's a fight for the soul of the country, and the time for half-measures is over.

1. Michigan Hezbollah‑Inspired Terror Attack An attack on a synagogue and school in West Bloomfield, Michigan, was an act of Hezbollah‑inspired terrorism. The attacker is: A naturalized U.S. citizen with ties to Hezbollah Motivated by Iranian and Hezbollah propaganda Intending mass casualty violence against Jewish children The discussion emphasizes: Failures in immigration vetting Government databases allegedly flagged the individual Criticism of federal agencies for allowing entry and naturalization Media is downplaying or sanitizing extremist motives by using neutral labels like “Michigan Man.” 2. Democratic Party Accused of “Coddling” Radical Islamism Democrats enable or sympathize with radical Islamist movements Anti‑terror enforcement has been weakened through policy choices and funding decisions Department of Homeland Security funding and confirmation votes are cited as proof of institutional neglect. Terrorism is the result of Biden era policy consequences. 3. New York Politics & Mamdani Criticism A New York political figure (Mamdani) is: Opposing U.S. military action against Iran Framing the Iran conflict as morally unjustified and financially wasteful Defending or excusing the Iranian regime Ignoring Iran’s role in killing Americans and sponsoring terrorism This is symptomatic of the radical ideological shift within Democratic politics. 4. Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate & Dearborn Comments A Michigan Senate candidate is criticized for: Avoiding condemnation of Iran or the Ayatollah Citing that people in Dearborn are “sad” about the Ayatollah’s death Leaked or recorded strategy discussions are used to argue the candidate: Prioritizes electoral politics over national security Is willing to deflect using domestic political attacks rather than address terrorism The commentary suggests this reflects electoral influence from Islamist‑sympathetic constituencies. 5. Energy Policy & California “Self‑Inflicted Energy Crisis” The final section shifts to energy security, citing a Washington Post editorial. Green energy policies in Germany, Taiwan, and California weakened energy resilience The Iran conflict exposed dependence on unstable global energy supply chains California is highlighted for: Unique fuel regulations Closure of refineries Dependence on overseas imports Renewable energy is insufficient for baseload reliability.

Are Democrats losing control of their own coalition—or is this exactly where it was always headed? The fellas—Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and (briefly missing) John Ashbrook—talk about a political landscape that feels less like strategy and more like chaos. From fringe activists gaining mainstream influence to protests that look more like performance art than persuasion, the question becomes unavoidable: who's actually in charge anymore? The fellas break it all down with zero patience for nonsense and plenty of laughs, cutting through media spin, exposing contradictions, and calling out the uncomfortable reality shaping today's political battlefield. And yes—it gets weird. Really weird. In this episode… No Kings protests that feel more staged than organic The rise of Hasan Piker and the Democrats' growing identity crisis Media scrambling to clean up a monster they helped create Why Michigan—and voters in Dearborn—are suddenly center stage PLUS, A CHOCOLATE HEIST SO RIDICULOUS IT SOUNDS MADE UP.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers a major Supreme Court case that could redefine birthright citizenship and determine who qualifies as an American under the 14th Amendment. He also reports on growing concerns about Islamist influence and terrorism, including a Michigan Senate candidate's comments on Dearborn and a Hezbollah-linked attack tied to a naturalized U.S. citizen, alongside a broader warning from Europe after a foiled bombing plot in Paris. Finally, Bryan breaks down a potentially major shift in U.S. strategy toward Iran, as the White House quietly changes its war goals and signals it may be willing to step back from the conflict - even if key objectives like reopening the Strait of Hormuz remain unresolved.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: birthright citizenship Supreme Court case 14th Amendment, who is an American debate Trump executive order, Dearborn Michigan Islamist influence US politics, Hezbollah attack naturalized US citizen Michigan, Paris bombing plot Europe migrant terror, Iran war strategy shift Trump Hormuz Strait, US foreign policy Middle East withdrawal, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

Aaron McIntire looks at President Trump's latest comments suggesting serious talks with a "new and more reasonable regime" in Iran to wind down military operations, contrasted with Secretary of State Marco Rubio's more cautious tone. We examine Rubio's reset on why Iran remains a long-standing threat and his warning to European NATO allies about the one-sided nature of the relationship. Domestically, Vice President J.D. Vance pushes back hard on Senate Republicans protecting the filibuster ahead of the Save America Act fight. Plus, leaked audio from Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed reveals his reluctance to address the death of Iran's Supreme Leader because "people in Dearborn are sad," new FBI confirmation that the recent synagogue attack was Hezbollah-inspired terrorism, and listener follow-up on the Valero refinery explosion.   The AM Update, Aaron McIntire, Iran regime change, Marco Rubio Iran, Trump Iran talks, JD Vance filibuster, Save America Act, Abdul El-Sayed Dearborn, Michigan synagogue attack, Hezbollah terrorism, Lindsey Graham Disney, NATO warning, Valero refinery explosion

Dana explains how people who are telling you that the U.S. is losing have a political objective. Did Tucker Carlson's son leak the details of a phone call between JD Vance and Netanyahu? Dana shares a flashback clip of Trump's commentary in 1987 talking about Iran to show his consistency on the issue. A Michigan Democrat Senate candidate told campaign staffers he wanted to avoid issuing any public statement about the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei because “Dearborn is sad” over the death of the Ayatollah. Southwest is getting criticized for implementing a “fat tax”. Israeli police block Catholic figures from the Palm Sunday Mass at Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre while Pope Leo used his Palm Sunday mass to slam Trump's decision to strike Iran.Thank you for supporting our sponsors that make The Dana Show possible…GhostBedhttps://GhostBed.com/DANAGhostBed has the cooling luxury mattress you need for deep sleep use code DANA for the lowest prices + 10% off sitewide.Jones Roadhttps://www.JonesRoadBeauty.comJones Road Beauty—bring out your natural glow with a free Shimmer Face Oil on your first purchase using code DANA.American Financinghttps://AmericanFinancing.net/Dana or call 866-885-1332See how much you could be saving now with American Financing and get out from under that high-interest debt today. Disclaimer (for description, not read aloud)NMLS 182334, nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

An armed private security guard at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, MI. shot and killed an attacker who rammed his vehicle into the synagogue and opened fire, preventing what could have been a mass casualty event last week, authorities and witnesses said. The incident, which occurred Thursday, March 12, left the attacker dead and one security guard injured, but no congregants, staff or the 140 children attending the synagogue's early childhood learning center were harmed. The attacker, identified by federal authorities as Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, 41, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Lebanon and resident of Dearborn Heights, drove a Ford F-150 through the building's doors around 12:30 p.m., entered a hallway and began firing through his windshield, according to Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard and FBI officials. Security personnel, including the synagogue's in-house armed team, engaged the suspect. Ghazali was fatally shot during the exchange; some reports indicate he may have inflicted a self-inflicted wound as well. The vehicle caught fire, filling the area with smoke. Temple Israel credited its enhanced security measures — implemented last June in response to rising antisemitism and threats to Jewish institutions — with averting disaster. The synagogue hired Danny Phillips, a former police lieutenant with 28 years of experience, including as an advanced firearms instructor, to lead its armed security team. “In response to the evolving realities facing Jewish communities,” the temple said at the time of Phillips' hiring, it took proactive steps to protect members. In an interview following the attack, Jewish firearms instructor Aaron Tobin told journalist Alan Skorski that beefed-up security and armed response were key to stopping the assault. Tobin, who trains members of the Jewish community in the Detroit metro area, said Jews across the region are increasingly arming themselves and seeking proper firearms training amid heightened threats. “Jews across Detroit's Metro area are getting armed and trained in proper gun use,” Tobin said. He issued a stark warning to potential attackers from Dearborn, a city with a large Arab American population: “Stay away from the Jewish community if they know what's good for them.” The FBI is leading the investigation into the incident, which Special Agent in Charge Jennifer Runyan described as “a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community.” Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer condemned the attack as “hate, plain and simple,” and expressed relief that swift action by security prevented further harm. Temple Israel, one of the largest Reform synagogues in the U.S. with over 12,000 members, has been a focal point for the local Jewish community. No additional injuries beyond the security guard were reported, though some first responders were treated for smoke inhalation.

“. . . There's this sense that [Left-leaning candidates] have to essentially be apologizing for their policy prescriptions and their stances. Mamdani has not done that . . . For the most part, he very much embraces who he is and what his policy prescriptions are.” - Felipe De La Hoz This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description [original air date Oct 31, 2025]:  Wherever you are in the country, you've probably heard the name “Zohran Mamdani”. New York City's mayoral race is a national story, and it's hard to overstate the significance of the leading candidate in this moment. If elected, Mamdani would become the first Muslim-American and only the second Democratic Socialist Mayor of the largest city in the U.S. His victory, on a promise to make New York affordable for working people, would have implications for politics everywhere. The race is already garnering both excitement and anxiety. President Trump is threatening to withhold federal funding for New York City if Mamdani wins. From Chicago to Dearborn, Michigan, journalists are watching. In this installment of “Meet the BIPOC Press”, Laura Flanders speaks with Felipe De La Hoz, investigative immigration and policy reporter whose work has been featured in The Intercept, The Washington Post, New York Mag and The Nation; Osama Siblani, publisher and founder of The Arab American News, the largest Arab American newspaper in the U.S., and Asha Ransby-Sporn, organizer and writer for In These Times and co-founder of Black Youth Project 100, where she led the group's national organizing program. Join us as we explore what a Mamdani victory would signal for the nation.

I look at him as representing the anger and anguish of people who have been left behind with the political apparatus.” - Osama Siblani, Publisher, The Arab American News This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description [Original air date Oct 31, 2025]: Wherever you are in the county, you've probably heard the name “Zohran Mamdani”. New York City's mayoral race is a national story, and it's hard to overstate the significance of the leading candidate in this moment. If elected, Mamdani would become the first Muslim-American and only the second Democratic Socialist Mayor of the largest city in the U.S. His victory, on a promise to make New York affordable for working people, would have implications for politics everywhere. The race is already garnering both excitement and anxiety. President Trump is threatening to withhold federal funding for New York City if Mamdani wins. From Chicago to Dearborn, Michigan, journalists are watching. In this installment of “Meet the BIPOC Press”, Laura Flanders speaks with Felipe De La Hoz, investigative immigration and policy reporter whose work has been featured in The Intercept, The Washington Post, New York Mag and The Nation; Osama Siblani, publisher and founder of The Arab American News, the largest Arab American newspaper in the U.S., and Asha Ransby-Sporn, organizer and writer for In These Times and co-founder of Black Youth Project 100, where she led the group's national organizing program. Join us as we explore what a Mamdani victory would signal for the nation. “More so than I am concerned with Black people being pulled to the Right or being pulled in by Trump . . . I think what we see are people who are disengaged and feel like our political system isn't going to deliver for them at all. Who feel let down by the establishment Democratic party that has sold all of us out for decades, and Black people have borne an enormous amount of the brunt of that impact.” - Asha Ransby-Sporn Guests: • Felipe De La Hoz: Immigration & Policy Reporter, Epicenter NYC • Asha Ransby-Sporn: Writer & Political Strategist; Columnist, In These Times • Osama Siblani: Publisher, The Arab American News Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

Over the course of a century, the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan has grown to house over 26 million artifacts of innovative achievements. However, one quiet piece – prized by Ford above all others – curiously stands out among the collection: a seemingly empty sealed test tube. In this episode, we uncover this relic's story and how it preserves an enduring friendship within the country's technological history.  We always want to hear from you!

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the ISIS attack in New York carried out by two young immigrants is unfortunately only the beginning of such incidents. Iran has pre-positioned hit squads because of the Biden administration's open borders and Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Mayor Mamdani's response to this terrorism was appalling. Then, for the media, and now for most politicians, what's most important is not winning this war against Iran AND ensuring it's not replaced by another monstrous regime, but the price of gasoline on a daily basis. Of course, when phony climate change policies were being instituted and drove up the price of gasoline, oil, electricity, automobiles, etc., we didn't get a daily barrage of such reports. But now, we even get charts and other graphics showing us the day-to-day increase in gasoline. If this military campaign is ended prematurely, and the second phase of ensuring the institution of a civil government is not accomplished, chances are this entire effort will be for naught. The economic, geo-political, and national security gains, which have been immense, and the stated goal of liberating the Iranian people, which initiated this process, could become a disaster in every respect -- including political. The ruling class elitists in Europe and America betrayed their countries by refusing honest debate about uncontrolled immigration of Islamists. These elites encouraged and allowed overwhelming border surges, motivated partly by Islamist strategies to conquer the West. In the U.S., Democrats pursued open borders, try to defund enforcement like ICE to build a future voting base of illegal immigrants. Islamists will vote Democrat temporarily before ultimately destroying both parties and taking over, as seen in parts of Europe, NYC, and Dearborn. The NYC terrorist attack is an example: two young Muslim men, inspired by ISIS, attempted to bomb an anti-Islamist protest, shouting "Allahu Akbar" but the devices failed. Mainstream media and Democrats downplayed or obscured the Islamist terrorist motive, framing it vaguely as devices at an anti-Muslim rally, condemning Islamophobia instead, and avoiding the truth of a near-mass-casualty jihadist attack, which the speaker sees as part of a broader pattern of cover-up by media and elites who tolerate or support such threats. Later, the SAVE America act is a no brainer and Democrats desperately oppose it because they benefit from fraudulent practices enabled by big-city political machines. Sen Chuck Schumer acts like a modern George Wallace by insisting everyone should vote—not just legal voters—allowing illegal ballots, double voting, or votes for the deceased to neutralize legitimate votes. Much of this fraud is allegedly legalized, making proof difficult and necessitating stricter statutes like voter ID requirements. The United States is a nation at war with itself, dividing Americans into two sides: patriotic, red-blooded citizens who love their country on one side, and elected Democrats in Washington—along with their operatives, Marxists, Islamists, the woke Reich neo-fascists—on the other. The Democrat Party policies undermine national security and sovereignty, such as opening borders to unvetted illegal aliens for years, allowing dangerous individuals to remain in the country. There are escalating attacks targeting Jews and Jewish facilities, such as the attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in Michigan. Then there's the shooting at Old Dominion University by a gunman was previously convicted for ISIS support. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Details emerge about the terrorist attacks in both Norfolk and Michigan. Students at Old Dominion University subdued the shooter without having to use weapons. Iran's new Supreme Leader is reportedly unaware of the ongoing war in the Middle East and does not know he is the Islamic Republic's new leader. Dearborn's local news takes the side of the terrorist when reporting commentary on the attack at the Michigan synagogue.

James Golden gives a critical examination of national security and domestic unrest, primarily focusing on the intersection of immigration policy and recent terrorist threats. The host uses excerpts from Senator Eric Schmidt and news reports to argue that Democratic leadership is intentionally undermining the Department of Homeland Security by prioritizing open borders and refusing to fund enforcement agencies. Central to the narrative are specific violent incidents in Virginia and Michigan, which the program frames as the direct result of a "heightened threat environment" caused by lax vetting and radicalization within communities like Dearborn, Michigan.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the ruling class elitists in Europe and America betrayed their countries by refusing honest debate about uncontrolled immigration of Islamists. These elites encouraged and allowed overwhelming border surges, motivated partly by Islamist strategies to conquer the West. In the U.S., Democrats pursued open borders, try to defund enforcement like ICE to build a future voting base of illegal immigrants. Islamists will vote Democrat temporarily before ultimately destroying both parties and taking over, as seen in parts of Europe, NYC, and Dearborn. The NYC terrorist attack is an example: two young Muslim men, inspired by ISIS, attempted to bomb an anti-Islamist protest, shouting "Allahu Akbar" but the devices failed.

Also, the Iranian regime is not finished off. Let's stick with the plan. Condition-based operations. The media and the Democrats will howl like coyotes no matter what. Any economic impact will be temporary. But the worst outcome would be a prematurely declare victory and the Iranian regime lives to slaughter and nuke another day. Later, the SAVE America act is a no brainer and Democrats desperately oppose it because they benefit from fraudulent practices enabled by big-city political machines. Sen Chuck Schumer acts like a modern George Wallace by insisting everyone should vote—not just legal voters—allowing illegal ballots, double voting, or votes for the deceased to neutralize legitimate votes. Much of this fraud is allegedly legalized, making proof difficult and necessitating stricter statutes like voter ID requirements. Finally, Mort Klein, National President of the Zionist Organization of America, calls in and explains that that the United States would need to confront and attack Iran even without Israel's existence, due to nearly 50 years of direct hostility toward America. This operation must continue to dismantle the regime, protect American lives, prevent nuclear acquisition, and support Iranians desiring freedom, marking the end of past U.S. policies of delay and concessions.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers the latest from the expanding war with Iran, as six U.S. service members are confirmed dead and Tehran escalates missile and drone attacks across the Gulf, including strikes near Qatar's LNG facilities that sent global energy markets surging. Bryan breaks down the battle for the Strait of Hormuz, the growing coalition forming against Iran, Hezbollah's renewed attacks from Lebanon, and the stark math problem facing the Pentagon as cheap Iranian drones collide with expensive American interceptors. He also addresses conflicting messages from the White House about whether this war is about nuclear containment or full regime change, offering candid analysis on what may have shifted behind the scenes. The episode then turns to China's quiet oil dilemma as Beijing urges Tehran to stand down while sitting on roughly 100 days of reserves, and finally to the U.S. homeland, where military bases heighten security amid rising Islamist rhetoric in cities like Dearborn and Manassas. Bryan closes with a sober warning about radicalization, domestic security, and the long-term consequences of a widening Middle East war.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: March 3 2026 Wright Report, Iran war escalation US casualties Kuwait, Strait of Hormuz oil crisis LNG Qatar strike, Hezbollah Lebanon front Israel, cheap drones missile interceptor cost imbalance, Trump regime change Iran debate, CIA intel Ayatollah strike decision, China oil reserves Iran Venezuela supply, US military base force protection measures, Dearborn Manassas mosque extremism debate, homeland security Islamist threat

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, individuals should never arm themselves or interfere with federal law enforcement (particularly ICE) during protests aimed at obstructing arrests of illegal aliens, even those with criminal records, as such actions are criminal, dangerous, and not protected by the Second Amendment, free speech, or assembly rights. American citizens deserve safe communities protected by immigration enforcement, while sanctuary policies by states and cities unconstitutionally usurp federal plenary power over immigration, echoing Confederate nullification tactics and risking national disunity. The Democrat Party deliberately engineers massive illegal immigration through open borders, non-enforcement, census manipulation, and birthright citizenship to secure long-term political power, culminating in a strategy to weaken or eliminate ICE and prioritize party dominance over national interests, with some Republicans yielding to these pressures. Also, the Islamist issue is a major threat. There's this emergence of segregated Islamist compounds and large communities strategically appearing across the U.S., particularly in Republican strongholds like Texas and Florida, funded by enormous sums of money and forming numerous footholds. There are already no-go areas in places like Dearborn, Michigan, mirroring trends in Europe and in France and England. Later, today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. On January 27, 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp was liberated. 6 million Jewish people were murdered during the Holocaust, and the ugly, insane hate for Jewish people is spreading like a metastasizing cancer throughout the world today -- including in our country. The Islamists, Marxists, and Neo-Fascists are openly and aggressively preaching death to the Jewish people and violently attacking Jewish people, egged on by, among others, podcasters, entertainers, foreign governments, billionaire dark money, and others. Unfortunately, the voices of Jew-hatred are loud and numerous and growing. It will take many more of us to counter what is taking place and pushback against this awful hatred.
