State Representative Brad Paquette (Michigan House District 37) sits down to weigh in on the latest bombshell from U.S. Food and Drug Administration: an internal memo reportedly tied COVID-19 vaccination to the deaths of at least 10 children and announced sweeping changes to how vaccines will be reviewed going forward. In this episode, Brad discusses what the memo means for public trust, parental rights, and vaccine policy, especially for families concerned about safety and transparency. Whether you've followed the controversy closely or are just hearing about it now, this conversation aims to cut through the noise, highlight the concerns many Michigan families are asking about, and explore what could happen next in Lansing and beyond.

Veteran and former state representative Andrew Beeler, who served aboard the USS Decatur (DDG-73) and represented Michigan's 83rd and 64th House districts, is stepping up again, officially launching his campaign for Michigan's 25th State Senate District. In this episode, we walk through his journey from Naval officer to public servant, including his work fighting for veterans, championing education reform, and pushing for accountability in Lansing. Beeler reflects on what motivated him to run for the Senate, how his military experience shapes his views on service and sacrifice, and what he hopes to achieve for Michigan families, small-town communities, and veterans transitioning to civilian life. If you care about strong leadership, conservative values, and policies grounded in real-world experience, this is a conversation worth hearing.

Today I’m talking to a guy who believes every company needs to be built to last—not just to flip. Neil Lansing is a turnaround specialist who left private equity to bet his own money on small, underperforming businesses. He’s taken companies from 18 employees to over 400. From $2 million to $40-50 million in revenue. And when everyone else was laying people off in 2008, he told his refrigeration company’s team: “We need more clients.” After transforming mom-and-pop service companies one after another, he found his final stop, Piedmont Machine & Manufacturing. At 67, he’s not looking for the next flip. He’s building something that will outlast him. ************* Listen on your favorite podcast app using pod.link.     .

But eventually he walked away from working with other people’s money to bet his own cash on small businesses. It wasn’t an easy mental shift. As he told me: “I remember the first time I did something. I was sitting there and I remember, now I’m not in corporate America, I’m not in these nice New York digs… I’m in some place where it’s like, my God, what did I get myself into?” But then he told himself: “Quit crying, figure it out, make it work.” The Five-Person Rule One of Neil’s key insights is his management structure. Nobody has more than five direct reports. Not supervisors, not managers, not even Neil as owner. This tight span of control is how he grew his refrigeration company from 10-18 people to over 400 in six years while maintaining quality and accountability. “Everyone has to do what we’re supposed to do,” he explains. “If we all do what we’re supposed to do and take the accountability of what we’re supposed to do, then it can work.” Growing When Others Retreat The 2008 financial crisis tested every business owner, but Neil’s response was counterintuitive. While the country was laying off 700,000 people a month, he gathered his top 10 guys and said: “We’ve just got to get more clients.” By Christmas, they were bringing in all new work. Then their existing clients–Target, Publix, Costco – suddenly needed massive expansions. Neil went from laying off 40-50 people to desperately hiring them back plus another 40-50 more. Why Manufacturing, Why Now After several successful turnarounds, Neil decided manufacturing would be his next chapter. He bought Piedmont Machine in Concord, North Carolina, seeing opportunity where others saw decline. The company does Swiss machining for smaller diameter work and can handle parts up to 30 inches in diameter—from roller bearing components for landing gear to automated door systems. He envisions growing his company to 80-100 employees, consolidating into a new 60-75,000 square foot facility, and implementing comprehensive training programs. The Grinder’s Legacy Neil calls himself a “grinder” – someone focused on day-to-day execution rather than just deal-making. His philosophy centers on personal responsibility: “If I don’t do what I’m supposed to do, then I can’t pay these people. And if I can’t pay these people, that means that we did it wrong.” What drives someone to keep grinding at 67? Neil says it's about legacy, not money. “Everything I’ve done, it still works. It still runs. If I do something and it goes under or it stops being in existence, then I feel like that’s not a good legacy. That means I didn’t do it right.” Neil doesn’t know how to run a machine and doesn’t want to. He knows how to run a business with clear strategy, deep understanding of people, and balls, and he's still betting big because that’s what real builders do.

Thanks to great reporting from Tom Perkins in Michigan Advance, we learned that top lawyers for Michigan's utility monopolies, DTE and Consumers' Energy, have given multiple donations to Karen McDonald, who's running in the Michigan Democratic Party's Attorney General primary race.  This is important since one of the main jobs for Michigan's Attorney General is to represent working class Michiganders against the utility monopolies that keep seeking massive energy rate hikes. Even more, with Big Tech invading Michigan to build its energy and job-sucking A.I. data centers across the state, the AG is expected to fight on behalf of working class Michiganders, who are against these data centers.  Why are individuals from DTE and Consumers giving to Karen McDonald?

After a viral moment in Lansing where Michigan's top education official refused to answer the basic question “How many genders are there?”, the State Board moved full steam ahead and approved sweeping new gender identity standards for students.Tonight, Daren Wiseley breaks down what that moment really means for parents, kids, and the battle over who controls reality in the classroom. The episode digs into what actually happened, what these standards really say, and why Michigan parents are calling it a direct attack on reality.

On this episode of the Momentum Ministry Partners Podcast, Eric sits down with longtime friend and teammate Timothy Lansing for a heartfelt conversation about growing up in ministry, discovering calling, and the surprising ways God uses ordinary moments to shape extraordinary stories. Both Eric and Tim share pieces of their journey—from their earliest encounters with Momentum to the life-changing experiences that eventually led them into full-time ministry. But what were the turning points? Who were the people who nudged them forward? And how did God use those moments to form the leaders they are today? Throughout the episode, they talk about the impact of faithful volunteers, prayer partners, youth pastors, and donors—the people behind the scenes who make life change possible. They also reflect on what they're seeing right now in churches and students across the country, and why they believe the next generation is stepping into something powerful. What stories are coming out of our Urban Centers? Why are students taking bold steps of faith? And what does it look like when a simple invitation or conversation changes someone's trajectory?  If you're curious about the heart behind Momentum, the stories you don't always get to hear, or how God continues to raise up young leaders, you won't want to miss this one. Tune in for encouragement, gratitude, and a reminder that God is working, often long before we realize it. Check out www.buildmomentum.org to learn more about our organization and how we seek to partner with local churches in order to equip today's young Christian leaders for tomorrow's opportunities.

On this pre-Thanksgiving episode of Daily Detroit, Norris Howard and I come to you in our Sunday sport-coated best fresh from a heavyweight fireside chat with Detroit's outgoing Mayor Mike Duggan and Rocket's Dan Gilbert. We react to a conversation that's a look into the future of Detroit and Michigan from two people shaping where we're headed next. We break down the biggest takeaways from the discussion, including why housing affordability tops Duggan's agenda as he runs for governor (as an independent) and why zoning reform and building more duplexes, triplexes, and other smaller-scale multi-family housing are absolutely crucial for Detroit. We get into the realities of market demand, population shifts, and why transit is still the other half of Detroit's comeback equation. Because whether it's chicken or egg, you need both people and transit to revitalize a city. Beyond the political stage, Norris and I swap thoughts on how local development impacts long-standing communities, and why the land value tax push in Lansing was such a key piece of the mayor's agenda. Then, we switch gears for a rapid-fire rundown of where to shop, eat, and support local business for Small Business Saturday across Southeast Michigan, from Merry in Midtown to the Rust Belt in Ferndale. Plus, some of our holiday traditions, why you shouldn't ring the bell at the Two Way Inn unless you're feeling extra generous, and why supporting our local spots matters more than ever.

Dear Leader Donald Trump declared that Michigan's Democratic U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin, and other Democrats, should be hung like George Washington would hang those found guilty of sedition.  Slotkin, and a handful of other Democrats, released a video imploring the United States military to refuse to follow any illegal orders from The Trump Regime. And rather than debate the merits of their argument, Trump wants them punished for "seditious" behavior.  Violence, or even the threat of violence, is the hallmark of the MAGA Republican Party movement.

What happens when a powerhouse research enterprise, a statewide health system, and a relentless push for access all meet at the same table? Our conversation with Dr. David Miller, CEO of Michigan Medicine, opens the door to a candid look at how precision care, digital tools, and financial reality collide—and how smart leadership turns that collision into progress.We dig into the new map of Michigan Medicine: the academic medical center in Ann Arbor, integrated hospitals in Lansing and West Michigan, and partnerships that extend specialty expertise across the state. Then we follow the research-to-care pipeline, from NIH-backed labs to clinical trials to real-world therapies. You'll hear how next-generation sequencing is making targeted cancer treatments more accessible, and why histotripsy—a noninvasive, ultrasound-based approach to treating liver tumors—is a model for bringing breakthroughs from engineering benches to exam rooms.Technology is more than a buzzword here. Dr. Miller explains how generative AI is cutting documentation time with ambient notes, speeding routine approvals, and supporting clinical decisions, all while keeping a human in the loop. We talk training the next wave of physicians to be technology fluent, and how virtual visits and remote monitoring expand access without trading away empathy. On payment and policy, we confront the hard parts: Medicaid churn, prior authorization friction, and the need for value-based insurance design that lowers barriers to high-value care. The throughline is simple and urgent—make it easier for patients to get the right care at the right time, and align incentives so innovation actually reaches people.If you care about healthcare that is precise, humane, and actually reachable, this conversation will give you a practical, hopeful blueprint.

What happens when you take the limitless dreams of a young man, add a guitar, and a chance meeting with a young Riley B. (B.B.) King? You see that young man seize the opportunity, and develop his craft, thus establishing himself as a Blues legend in his own right later in life. That is precisely what happened to Anson Funderburgh, and you will hear all about his early musical experiences, the formation of his band, ‘The Rockets', and his work with Sam Myers on this week's edition of Time Signatures with Jim Ervin. Anson was also a good friend of our own Jim Flynn here in Lansing, and he has memories to share there, too. It's a wonderful trip down memory lane with one of the true gentlemen of the Blues, so please join us.Website: https://ansonfunderburgh.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anson.funderburgh Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkPVWjDsX5hEHREHuui3HSA Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4MeJdAj02pfiiAYXdQLlBW?si=csfVs469RruQnelEuRFPhQ _________________________Facebook: Time SignaturesYouTube: Time SignaturesFacebook: Capital Area Blues SocietyWebsite: Capital Area Blues SocietyFriends of Time Signatures _______Website: University of Mississippi Libraries Blues ArchiveWebsite: Killer Blues Headstone ProjectWebsite: Blues Society Radio NetworkWebsite: Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation

Democrats in the U.S. Senate have decided to cave and capitulate to The Trump Regime, and the MAGA Republican Congressional majority, by voting to end the MAGA Republican Government Shutdown.  These 7 Democratic Senators, and one independent Senator, undercut the moral high ground on the government shutdown since The Trump Regime and MAGA Republicans in Congress refused to extend Obamacare subsidies.  This latest capitulation must serve as a reminder that as much as we must oppose the authoritarian takeover of The Trump Regime, we must oppose and throw-out those in the Democratic Party who believe capitulation is the only way to deal with corporate autocracy.  Capitulation is never an answer.

Welcome back to another heavy edition of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, hosted by Jay Ingersoll and Modd! In our 121st episode we return with the 21st installment of our reaction series, diving deep into the underground to discover the rawest, heaviest, and most experimental sounds emerging from across the globe. We give our first-time, unscripted reactions to their newest singles, music videos, and releases. Whether it's spine-shattering breakdowns, eerie electronic atmospheres, or groove-soaked riffs, you're going to hear a wild mix of what the underground metal world is thriving on right now.Here's who we're reacting to in this episode:

Nick Anderson/Raw Story  On this week's show... The Donald Trump Hunger Games begin with the administration doing as little as possible to comply with a court-ordered continuation of SNAP Benefits. For millions of Americans, it means going hungry … just not quite as hungry as Trump had wanted. The Trump shutdown is officially the longest in U.S. history, surpassing the record of 35 days set during the first Trump term. With Trump's administration failing on the economy, foreign policy, healthcare and basic competence in the background, Democrats sweep the handful of off-year elections including flipping Virginia's governor's office and holding on in New Jersey. We'll do a post-mortem on the election, and the impact on Michigan politics, with former Obama Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri. Two updates on Michigan's congressional races: a familiar name enters the GOP primary to replace John James, and new polling shows Lansing-area Congressman Tom Barrett trailing two relatively unknown Democrats. A former top aide to former state House Speaker Lee Chatfield pleads guilty to assorted corruption charges ... and agrees to testify against his former boss. The latest political shocker nationally: Marjorie Taylor Greene is talking about running for President. Of the United States. Yes, that MTG! And the Subway Sandwich Terrorism trial has ended with an acquittal. Sean Dunn was charged with misdemeanor assault after hitting a federal agent with a “sub-style sandwich.” Apparently ICE agents consider mustard a weapon of mass destruction...but the prosecution's case, it turns out, was toast. Dunn reportedly relished the decision. There were, of course, a lot of significant elections on Tuesday. Joining the post-election analysis is guest commentator Jennifer Palmieri. Her credentials include three years as Barack Obama's Communications Director and then Director of Communications for the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign. Before her service at the White House, she was the National Press Secretary for the 2004 John Edwards presidential campaign and for the Democratic National Committee in 2002, after a brief time at the advocacy group Americans for Gun Safety. She served in the Clinton Administration as Special Assistant to White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, deputy director of Scheduling and Advance, and finally as a Deputy White House Press Secretary. More recently she co-hosted the political documentary series "The Circus" on Showtime with John Heilman, Alex Wagner and Mark McKinnon. drewsheneman.substack.com
