President Trump's presser on Wednesday flew off the rails. He raged at a reporter for questioning his acceptance of a luxury jet from Qatar. He snapped when asked why he's resettling white Afrikaners but no other refugees. And he tried to humiliate the South African president by brandishing printouts about the deaths of white South Africans but couldn't defend his lie of a “white genocide” unfolding there. The corruption and the white nationalism—Trump openly promised both during the campaign, and he's now doing them. Yet on the latter, a new Marquette poll finds wide public disapproval of Trump's deportations of longtime residents, and shows independents tiling strongly against him on immigration, revealing fresh weakness on this issue. We talked to veteran labor strategist Michael Podhorzer, author of a new piece on his Substack arguing that the anti-MAGA majority that didn't show up in 2024 is now visibly reconstituting itself in polls. He explains that Trump's unhinged presser helps show how Trump himself is making that happen. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

I always say that this Thursday to Sunday run of the conference tournaments and the Selection Show is the best four-day stretch of every lacrosse season. Teams have spent the last year working toward this, only the best teams are playing, every game is meaningful and the familiarity of playing conference rivals a second time begs for potential drama.

Trump's tariffs are hurting the working class, but he and his regime are doubling-down. Then, Pat breaks-down Michigan Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin's new "war plans" for Democrats, and where she says Democrats should stop saying "oligarchy" when attacking Trump. Pat gives examples where he thinks Slotkin's right, and where she's wrong. 22:01-39:00: Interview w/ Paula Gardner Paula Gardner, Business Editor at Bridge Michigan, is our guest this week. Ms. Gardner unveiled a handful of articles detailing how this state's reliance on taxpayer-funded corporate subsidies aren't bringing the jobs and economic growth many promised. Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer has championed these subsidies during her tenure. But because the near $1Billion in spending hasn't resulted in the jobs supporters said would happen, there seems to be bipartisan agreement that we need new solutions. Check-out Ms. Gardner's article, "WHITMER SUBSIDY RECORD: COMPANIES GET 1-BILLION DOLLARS; JOBS FALL SHORT OF PROMISES.” 39:01-46:00: Last Call-Whitmer & Trump Pat's "Last Call" is on Whitmer joining Trump during his Michigan trip this week, and where she went right and wrong on that visit. 46:01-49:16: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Whitmer subsidy record: Companies get $1 billion; jobs fall short of promises."

We welcome back to the show Tobita Chow to discuss how Trump's 125%+ tariff on China fits into the escalating spiral of dangerous conflict between the United States and China. We review the main currents of thought within the current administration and potential outcomes. Is Trump setting up an inevitable military conflict with China? Robert reviews the top Trump impacts on Wisconsin this week, including revoking student visas for over two dozen UW Students for no stated reason; Executive Order targeting state renewable energy initiatives; and the Impact of Trump's deportation frenzy in Wisconsin, including the state of fear among Wisconsin dairy workers, and the revocation of legal status for Haitian refugees who have become an important part of the community in New London. We close with Marquette University Theology professor, Chris Gooding, who is a member of the academic staff's union organizing committee. Marquette continues to refuse to recognize the faculty union. The members are planning a protest of their new anti-union president on Monday, April 28th, 10 am in front of the Al Center on the university's campus.
Whether it was Rutgers' upset of Maryland, Syracuse's win over Notre Dame in front of a record crowd in the Dome or Penn State's comeback at Michigan, IL's Terry Foy, Larken Kemp and Nick Ossello (who was brave enough to show up for a portion of the episode despite the Irish's loss) unpack Week 9 of the college lacrosse season. They dissect the Ivy League, from Harvard's one-sided win over Dartmouth to Yale's pivotal outcome over Penn to Cornell's closer-than-it-seemed victory vs. Brown. From there, they dive into Carolina's dominant second half vs. Virginia, then move into the quick-hitters: Gtown over Marquette in OT, High Point upsetting UMass, Loyola getting its first win over Bucknell in OT, Duke snapping its two-game losing streak and Army-Navy pitting two teams coming off wins.

The Yukon building is a two-story structure built in 1898 by the Boston-based real estate investor who also put up the Rookery, the Monadnock and the Marquette in Chicago.

Griffin Warner and Big East Ben beak down CBB betting for this weekend. The guys are ready for March Madness and give out best bets. Griffin Warner and Big East Ben hosted the Need for Seats College Basketball Podcast (March 7, 2025), providing analysis and bets for significant college basketball matchups. Griffin Warner opened by acknowledging his recent betting loss on South Carolina against Georgia and humorously presented a Kawhi Leonard San Diego State jersey after their recent game against UNLV, won by Big East Ben's pick (0:15-1:28). Big East Ben celebrated snapping a four-game losing streak, noting UNLV's Julian Rich Wayne's standout performance with 26 points, significantly above his 8 PPG average, alongside Jayden Hensley's 17 points (1:29-2:19). Warner humorously discussed Julian Rich Wayne's extensive college transfer history (San Francisco, Florida, Boston College, UNLV) (2:20-3:08). They briefly touched upon Ed Cooley's move from Providence to Georgetown and speculated about his future tenure there, predicting he would remain beyond next season (3:35-4:11). The hosts moved onto detailed analyses of five highlighted matchups: Alabama at Auburn: Auburn favored by 7.5 points, total 178.5. Big East Ben critiqued Alabama's Mark Sears, highlighting his poor recent shooting (2-10 from three) and questioned his All-American credentials. Both predicted a high-scoring game, recommending betting the "over" due to potential late-game fouls and free throws (6:07-11:05). Arizona at Kansas: Kansas favored by 3 points, total 153. Ben expressed confidence in Kansas's ability at home, referencing their long-standing Senior Day success and recent competitiveness against Houston despite numerous turnovers. Warner preferred betting "under 153," citing Kansas's defensive strength and inconsistent offense (11:06-14:39). Houston at Baylor: Baylor underdogs by 4.5 points at home, total 131. Ben critiqued Baylor's poor defensive rebounding and perimeter defense, strongly backing Houston (-4.5). Warner opted for "over 131," expecting Houston to dominate Baylor's zone defense, forcing Baylor to adapt unsuccessfully (14:41-19:07). Marquette vs. St. John's: Marquette favored by 2.5, total 143. Ben passionately backed Marquette on Senior Day despite disappointment in recent performances. He highlighted Davion Smith's injury absence for St. John's as crucial. Warner disagreed, seeing the 2.5 spread as excessive given Marquette's recent inconsistency and St. John's resilience, despite losing two conference games narrowly (19:08-26:26). Missouri vs. Kentucky: Missouri favored by 5.5 points, total 168.5. Ben supported Missouri, citing Kentucky's key injuries. Warner preferred betting the "over," expecting both offenses to exploit each other's vulnerabilities, with Missouri's press defense contributing to a high-scoring pace (26:30-31:12). In concluding, Big East Ben selected Marquette (-2.5) as his best bet, emphasizing Senior Day motivation and St. John's weakened backcourt. Warner's best bet was Indiana (-2) over Ohio State, trusting Indiana's recent form and the home advantage despite previous inconsistency. The podcast also promoted a discount code (March20) for listeners to save on pregame.com bets (31:13-33:43). Throughout the podcast, the hosts shared humorous exchanges and insightful critiques, enhancing the analysis with statistical details and context for each team and key player discussed.
