GOP gubernatorial candidate Mike Cox, the former state attorney general, says he gives Gov. Gretchen Whitmer a grade of D for her performance and took a shot at his Republican opponent, Congressman John James. "I'll give her a D alright, and for this reason," Cox said of Whitmer during an appearance Wednesday night on the podcast/videocast, Detroit in Black and White. "We've grown the size of state government by $27 billion over the past seven years; so I ask any of you, what new programs or services have you gotten for that $27 billion?"Nothing. In fact, the damn roads still haven't been fixed," he told the co-hosts Adolph Mongo, Vanessa Moss, Allan Lengel and Jim Nardone. Cox said he covets President Trump's endorsement, saying he'd be foolish not to. And he said this of his primary opponent John James: "John James is a good enough dude. But you know he kind of reminds me of what something Adolph Mongo's old boss Coleman Young once said...about Jesse Jackson: 'He ain't run nothing but his mouth.'"Cox also expressed concern about education in Michigan, saying that a large chunk of the budget is dedicated to education, but the results are poor.He also said he would support the use of National Guard troops and ICE agents in Detroit.  "I wouldn't turn down any federal help one bit," he said. 

Bishop delves into the news that the Trump administration is freezing $10 billion in federal funds to five different states including approximately $1 billion to Illinois as concerns continue about potential fraud in the welfare system stemming from findings in Minnesota.

Congressman Eric Swalwell announced last month that he was joining the crowded race to replace California governor Gavin Newsom. The Dublin lawmaker enters a fluid contest with no overwhelming favorite. Recent polling shows Swalwell - along with former house member Katie Porter and Republicans Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton - in the 10-15% range, with a small fleet of other candidates struggling to break out of the single digits.Swalwell has been one of President Trump's most vocal critics in the House and served as impeachment manager during Trump's second impeachment. While that visibility likely increases his favorability with Democratic voters, it comes at a cost: he has been hit with allegations of mortgage and tax fraud by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte. Pulte, an ally of President Trump has made similar claims against two other Trump antagonists, New York AG Letitia James and Federal Reserve Board of Governors Member Lisa Cook. Swalwell strongly disputes the allegations and filed a suit against Pulte on November 25. Looking at the polls, the allegations don't seem to have dented his star with potential Primary voters.Swalwell joined us on Thursday for a conversation about his candidacy, how he plans to address the state's affordability crisis, his experiences as a local official, navigating familial political divides, the temperature in congress, the Democratic Party brand, and much, much more.  Plus - Who had the Worst Week in California Politics?:29 View from the continent2:58 Capitol Weekly update3:55 A Conference on Housing6:26 Eric Swalwell8:57 Affordability/Cost Crisis10:30 A Republican family11:41 "No hat rule in place"12:23 January 613:53 "A day after Trump"17:28 How to rebuild the Democratic brand19:24 What is it like being in congress right now?21:19 The generational shift25:05 How did you break both thumbs?27:06 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Send us a textKen Fong and I sit down for one of our richest, most thought-provoking conversations yet.We begin with the quietly powerful new film Rental Family, where Brendan Fraser's lonely American actor in Tokyo becomes the “token white guy” in Japan's unusual rental family industry. What begins as performance becomes something far deeper — and it opens the door for us to discuss honestly intercultural relationships, identity, belonging, and the longing for genuine connection in an era of isolation.From there, we take a turn into the world of (now Candidate for Governor of California) Pastor Ché Ahn, the New Apostolic Reformation, and the legacy of C. Peter Wagner — a professor both of us once studied under. We revisit Wagner's vision of ethnically centered churches, Ahn's rise as an apostolic figure, and his influential role in the Seven Mountain Mandate and the MAGA movement. This isn't a hit piece — it's a candid, personal reckoning with the theological, cultural, and political forces reshaping evangelicalism.We also dive into Jon M. Chu's reflections on Wicked, A.I., and Asian representation; the latest Tuesday election results; the troubling Tucker Carlson–Nick Fuentes pipeline; And yes — we talk about the shutdown, the blame game, and why today's GOP seems allergic to health care, border solutions, and the social safety net.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Complete Embarrassment: Far-left Katie Porter—the front runner to become the next Governor of California in 2026—had a complete meltdown after a CBS reporter asked her about her strategy for winning bipartisan support. Porter insisted she didn't need the support of Trump voters and then abruptly ended the interview—explicitly complaining about being asked too many “follow up” questions. Porter, a former congresswoman and accolade of Elizabeth Warren, lost her 2024 race for U.S. Senate. Now a new video has surfaced of her screaming and cursing at a staffer! Plus, who was a worse Batman—Porter (who dressed up as the Gotham superhero for Halloween) or Ben Affleck? It's close. 4:30pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump held a cabinet meeting where he signed a proclamation preserving Columbus Day—stating: “Columbus Day—We're Back, Italians!” 4:45pm- New Jersey Gubernatorial Race: On Wednesday, Republican businessman Jack Ciattarelli and Democratic Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill went head-to-head in their second and final debate before election day on November 4th. During one notable moment, Ciattarelli pledged that his top priority as governor will be to provide tax relief for New Jersey residents—meanwhile, Sherrill said her top priority would be suing the Trump administration.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson brings her vision for Michigan's future to The Common Bridge, outlining why she's running for governor in 2026 and what she hopes to accomplish for the state's citizens.At the heart of Benson's campaign is a commitment to making Michigan "the best place to be a kid, raise a kid, and call home." As a mother raising an eight-year-old son in Detroit, she understands firsthand the challenges facing Michigan families. "The work we do over the next 10 years is going to define his future and the future of our loved ones throughout the state," she explains, highlighting the urgency behind her candidacy.Affordability emerges as the cornerstone of Benson's platform. From cherry farmers in Traverse City who can't afford housing near their work to Detroit families struggling with utility bills, economic anxiety touches every corner of the state. Benson proposes tackling these challenges through strategic investments in affordable housing, healthcare access, and public education while making government work more efficiently for citizens—something she's demonstrated as Secretary of State by modernizing services and eliminating wait times.The conversation explores Michigan's potential transformation from the "Rust Belt" to what Benson calls the "Innovation Belt." Her vision includes ambitious infrastructure projects like high-speed rail connecting major cities, making Michigan "the small business capital of the nation," and developing talent pipelines through education and workforce training. This economic strategy aims to reverse Michigan's population decline by creating communities where people want to build their futures.What distinguishes Benson's approach is her commitment to collaboration across partisan lines. Having won her 2022 election by 14 points—carrying counties other Democrats couldn't win—she emphasizes the importance of listening to all voices and finding common ground. "No one party has all the ideas," she says, rejecting the polarization that dominates much of today's political discourse.As Michigan's chief election officer who improved the state's ranking from 31st to 2nd in election administration, Benson understands how good governance builds trust. Her campaign represents an opportunity to demonstrate that politics can still be about solving problems rather than stoking division—a message that resonates in these challenging times.Whether you're concerned about economic opportunity, education, infrastructure, or the political climate, Benson's conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on Michigan's challenges and potential solutions.
