A Republic, If You Can Keep It

On our radar this week… Yes, the Donald Trump one-dollar coin is now in circulation. It's just a matter of time until the faux gold coin is available in a special gold case exclusively on the website More Trump Crap for Sale Dot Com. The fall campaign is underway in Michigan, with ballots going in the mail beginning in just 3 weeks … unless the Supreme Court backs Donald Trump's clearly unconstitutional plan to have the Post Office decide who votes. Both Abdul El Sayed and Jocelyn Benson have small leads according to the latest polling from EPIC-MRA and MSU's Institute for Public Policy and Social Research. The poll by our longtime podcast supporter Bernie Porn shows both Benson and El-Sayed with four-point leads … at the edge of the poll's margin of error. Fully two-thirds of voters surveyed give Donald Trump a negative job approval rating, with 63% saying the economy has gotten worse under Trump. MSU's polling shows Benson with a 9-point lead, and El-Sayed leading by 5. Those numbers come even before the impact of Trump's temper-tantrum tariffs on Canadian goods kick in, and Canada is united politically behind Prime Minister Mark Carney's hardball response to a President he calls a bully.  VIDEO – “Blame Canada” (Lincoln Project) The EPIC-MRA poll also shows overwhelming opposition in Michigan to data centers. 73% of Michigan voters oppose “current federal tax breaks and other federal policies that were put in place to encourage and speed up the development of data centers” – including 67% of respondents who had a favorable view of Trump 62% of Michigan voters oppose “the development of data center facilities in Michigan” State Democrats formalized their statewide ticket over the weekend in a convention where the name Donald Trump dominated … and not in a good way. One major concern voiced by Democrats: Trump's ongoing campaign to create chaos over the voting process. Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist, who is running to be Michigan's chief elections officer as Secretary of State, made it clear that Michigan will be ready for whatever Trump throws at us. One of the potential voter suppression tactics on the list of potential Trump illegal abuses: sending the military the polls on election day in violation of federal law to intimidate voters or seize ballots. Senator Elissa Slotkin says the Army Chief of Staff has assured her in writing that it won't happen. Mike Rogers may have added to his woes by backing the Trump war on Canada. In an interview on Fox News, he tap danced around the issue … claiming Trump's economic battle with our neighbors is actually good for the state, something denied by Democrats and the leaders of the auto industry. John James says he'll eliminate the state's flat-rate income tax in phases. There would be two major  impacts: gutting every state agency including road and bridge maintenance, State Police, education, prisons and public health… and giving a huge tax cut to Betsy DeVos and the state's other wealthiest people.  Republicans will hold a Trump Tribute convention in Dallas this week, with most elected Republicans skipping the event. The highlights: speeches by Trump and J.D. Vance … both speeches being delivered at the same time as week one NFL games. In news of the Trump property management agenda: an announcement that work will begin in two weeks on the Arc D'Trump, still another monument to the real Trump Derangement Syndrome.  A victory for Michigan voters, an unsuccessful petition drive to require every Michigan voter to re-register and prove their citizenship – was back in court. Mark represented opponents of that ballot proposal and once again and won! He fills us in on the details. Another election related case went into court this week over the issue of fusion voting. Jeff is the lead plaintiff in the case, Mark is his attorney which means our listeners get the full inside story. Joining the podcast this week is political strategist and consultant Mike Madrid. Mike is known for his expertise in Latino voting trends. He co-founded the Lincoln Project and has worked with both Republican and Democratic candidates, while also serving as a lecturer at various universities and authoring the book “The Latino Century: How America’s Largest Minority Is Transforming Democracy.” He is the host of the weekly podcast “MikeDrop”. Next Monday marks the 144th annual observance of Labor Day. Labor Day began in the late 19th century as a response to the harsh working conditions faced by American laborers. The first unofficial Labor Day celebration took place on September 5, 1882, in New York City, organized by the Central Labor Union. This event featured a parade where thousands of workers marched to advocate for better working conditions and fair wages. Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894, recognizing the contributions of workers to the nation’s strength and prosperity. It's being celebrated in Detroit with a the traditional parade which begins at 9 a.m. and the final day of the Detroit Jazz Festival in Hart Plaza. Some news about the podcast. We'll be recording our first-ever podcast with an audience next week. Jeff and I will bring the podcast to the Lakeshore Progressives in Grand Haven on Tuesday,. If you would like to be a part of the audience, send us an email and we'll get you the details. Our email: ARepublicPodcast@gmail.com.  Perhaps the most iconic of all of Detroit's Labor Day events was 66 years ago, when then-Senator John Kennedy spoke to a massive crowd in Cadillac Square, immortalized by iconic photos by legendary Detroit Free Press photographer Tony Spina.

At the helm of The Parade Company since 2009, Tony Michaels is President & CEO of the iconic Detroit non-profit organization and served on its Board of Directors for over a decade. He leads some of Detroit's most storied traditions, including the near century-old America's Thanksgiving Parade presented by Gardner White and the world-class Ford Fireworks, which have both delighted generations of families and resulted in significant economic impact for the region. He has led major growth of The Parade Company with bringing on Gardner White as presenting sponsor of the parade through 2031, one of the oldest in the nation, and attracting top partners and sponsors of Michigan and global companies. He has expanded the broadcast to 185 television markets in the U.S., and under his leadership, the parade is recognized as the Best Holiday Parade in America by USA TODAY. In addition, The Parade Company produces several other Detroit jewels including the Strategic Staffing Solutions Turkey Trot and Hob Nobble Gobble presented by Ford Motor Company, among other year-round events. Tony is a distinguished Michigan business leader and has received a multitude of honors for championing initiatives. Most recently, Tony was named 2022 Michiganian of the Year by the Detroit News, received the 2022 Edward H. McNamara Goodfellow of the Year Award and the Spirit of Detroit Award from Detroit City Council.

This plan resulted in the company experiencing significant growth, including preserving existing jobs and the disciplined creation of new positions that supported the local and national growth of the brand. During this time, a complete rebranding of the company also occurred.

Maggie speaks with Grammy-winning author Ashley Kahn about his latest book, "George Harrison on George Harrison"  a collection of interviews and TV appearances Harrison gave during his too-short life. Kahn's collection “covers [Harrison's] biographical sweep as fully as an autobiography would,” the preface asserts, and though one might argue with that, by book's end, we believe Kahn's exhortation: “Read his words, and know the man.”Ashley has received widespread critical acclaim for A Love Supreme: The Making of John Coltrane's Signature Album and Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece. His other books include The House That Trane Built and, as cowriter, The Universal Tone, Carlos Santana's autobiography. He teaches at New York University, and his articles have appeared in the New York Times, Rolling Stone, and other publications.Ashley Kahn is an author, educator, music journalist, and concert producer. A professor of music history and criticism at NYU who lectures at other institutions as well, his books include the A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane's Signature Album, Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece. Kahn's writing has generated two Grammy nominations, three ASCAP/Deems Taylor Awards, and two Book of the Year distinctions from the Jazz Journalists Association.Most recently, he has spoken, presented, and conducted interviews at a variety of festivals and conferences including: SXSW, CMJ, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Umbria Jazz Festival (Perugia and Orvieto), North Sea Jazz Festival (Rotterdam), the Detroit Jazz Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, Barcelona Jazz Festival, Berklee School of Music, and other universities, music conferences and festivals.Kahn's byline appears in such publications as Rolling Stone, Mojo and The Wall Street Journal and his voice is often heard on National Public Radio's “Morning Edition”. During a thirty-year career in the music business, Kahn has helped produce countless concerts, tours and festivals including a ten-year stint as tour manager for a multitude of music groups, including: Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Debbie Harry & the Jazz Passengers and Britney Spears. He continues to work very closely with the Miles Davis family on a variety of projects, including a Miles Davis museum exhibition, tribute concerts and various panels and speaking engagements.“Despite all the pressures of fame, George Harrison managed to stay grounded, and real, and to live a life in full. In George Harrison on George Harrison, Ashley Kahn has summoned up a portrait of the artist as public figure, as friend, as husband, as spiritual devotee, through a kaleidoscopic assemblage of letters, interviews, broadcast transcripts, and more. Harri-son was thoughtful, sensitive, honest, warmly funny, kind, and very, very smart. It all shines through in this beautiful collection.”  —Tom Piazza, Author of Why New Orleans MattersSource: https://www.amazon.com/George-Harrison-Interviews-Encounters-Musicians/dp/1641600519Source: https://tisch.nyu.edu/about/directory/clive-davis-institute/1417614318This episode is from an archive from the KPFK program Profiles adapted for podcast. Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.
