Podcasts about Michigan Senate

Okay Playlisters, get ready for Michigan-palooza, or as we call it, everything you wanted to know about manufacturing thanks to Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens of Michigan's 11th district! Michael and Anna sit down with the three term Rep now running for the Michigan Senate to discuss the latest in the tariff chaos, the auto industry, and how Michigan Manufacturing (did we just coin that?) could be the slogan of many a nationwide campaign. But first, Anna and Michael discuss the protests in their backyard and how each day this is turning into a manufactured crisis thanks to Trump. To be clear, we denounce the instances of violence and property damage, but we also want to cut through the BS and say there is not large scale civil unrest in Los Angeles and we defer to the Governor when he says the National Guard is NOT needed.

After Googling “how to run for office” in the wake of the 2016 election, Mallory McMorrow took on an incumbent Republican State Senator and won, moving the seat 20 percentage points. When a right-wing state senator baselessly called her a “groomer”, she took to the floor in a now viral speech and declared "we will not let hate win.” NY Magazine called the speech “remarkable.” James Carville said it was “enormously effective.” The Atlantic wrote that it was “stunning.” After her viral speech, Mallory helped flip control of the Michigan Senate for the first time in 40 years, becoming the first woman Senate Majority Whip in state history. She has worked to strengthen unions and raise wages, eliminate the retirement tax on seniors, expand civil rights, repeal the state's 1931 abortion ban, tackle gun violence, expand affordable housing, and feed kids in schools. She recently released her first book, HATE WON'T WIN Mallory is a major Democratic rising star, and she's in THE BACK ROOM sharing insights into her new book, her campaign for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat, and how Americans can take action to fight tyranny, hatred, bigotry and achieve real change in Washington.

April 14, 2025 ~ This morning, Mike Rogers announced his run for Senate. Kaitlyn Buss joins Kevin to discuss the Michigan Senate race that is underway.

This week's show is sponsored by: EPIC-MRA Public Opinion Research MIRS News Fulton Fish Market This week on ""A Republic, If You Can Keep It" Republicans everywhere are reassessing after stumbling in a couple of Florida special elections that should have been slam dunks, and losing a State Supreme Court election in a Wisconsin landslide A day later by a stunningly trade war launched by the worst graduate in the history of the Wharton School of Economics. There was a Standing-Room-Only crowd as Democrats headlined a Town Hall in the heart of Macomb County, an event taking full aim at MIA Congressman John James. Last week, it was the most unqualified national security team ever assembled Signaling its stunningly consistent ineptness, with the revelation that at least one of them is conducting official business on Gmail. This week, it's RFK Jr. who, by advocating quack medicine while firing actual real scientists, accelerates a growing measles outbreak that's spreading from ground ZERO in Texas. Homeland Security ineptly condemns people to an indefinite stay in an El Salvador hell hole with no proof they've done anything wrong. And the U.S. Senate race has its first major candidate. We talk with state Senator Mallory McMorrow The first announced candidate for U.S. Senator is state Senator Mallory McMorrow. She exploded into the national spotlight in 2024 after an emotional response to very public personal attacks on her by Republican state Senator Lana Theis went viral. She is an ardent supporter of policies protecting reproductive rights, empowering local communities, and making Michigan a business- and family-friendly state. McMorrow is the Senate Majority Whip, serving her second term in the Michigan Senate. Prior to her election to the Senate she worked for more than a decade in product design, media and advertising with companies like Mazda, Mattel, Gawker Media, Hearst and other global brands. McMorrow hit the ground running during her first term in the Michigan Senate, winning policy changes such as ending Michigan's tampon tax, helping struggling businesses during the coronavirus pandemic, and protecting certain individuals (including domestic violence survivors) by creating an address confidentiality program. She earned her bachelor's degree in industrial design from the University of Notre Dame and resides in Royal Oak with her husband, Ray, their daughter, Noa, and their rescue dog, Detroit. At 38, she is the youngest person on the list of potential Senate candidates in either party.

On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, conversations with state Sen. John Damoose and Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA) Chairman Patrick “Shorty” Gleason about legislation to shore up protections of the bridge from trespassers. The Senate voted unanimously on March 13 in support of Senate Bill 71, which now heads to the House. This comes three years after some troubling incidents on the bridge involving people climbing a tower or otherwise trying to access the bridge to take photos, and another involving a bomb threat that closed the bridge on a busy weekend and disrupted travel for many hours. The MBA took the rare step at the time of adopting a resolution supporting the key facility designation. The Michigan House of Representatives passed a bill, sponsored by then-state Rep. John Damoose, 99-6, in 2022, classifying the Mighty Mac and several other vital structures in the state as key facilities. The legislation later stalled in the Michigan Senate. Now, the Senate has reported out, unanimously, the new bill, sponsored by now state Sen. Damoose, which is narrower in focus, applying strictly to the Mackinac Bridge. The designation means trespassing on the bridge would be a felony offense. 

February 17, 2025 ~ Last week, the Michigan Senate passed a compromise legislation on tipped wages. Senator Aric Nesbitt joins Kevin to discuss this.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — More than 200,000 federal employees may soon be let go by the Trump Administration.  The Office of Personnel Management has reportedly advised all federal agencies to terminate their probationary employees.  Federal workers can be on probation for up to two years before their civil service job protections begin.  The order could affect more than nine-percent of the current federal workforce.   Two ---- TikTok is back.  The social media app returned to the Apple and Google app stores last night, after being removed almost a month ago in response to a national security law that went into effect.  The app's return follows a letter from US Attorney General Pam Bondi informing Apple it wouldn't be fined for hosting the app.    And number three —   The Michigan Senate has approved a bill to save the state's tipped wage credit along with increasing the minimum wage.  The bill passed last night by a 20-to-12 vote with bipartisan support, though a majority of Democrats voted “no”.  The tipped wage would stay where it is the rest of this year and rise to 50-percent of the minimum wage over six years.   

In today's news: Some grant-funded projects in Benton Harbor are facing new challenges as a fight continues in Washington over a federal funding freeze. State Representative Joey Andrews says the compromise reached in the Michigan Senate on the tipped wage isn't perfect, but it's better than previous proposals. The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi has announced the establishment of a new LLC that will pursue developments outside of Southwest Michigan and South Bend.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on a new Michigan poll suggesting Republicans have the edge in the 2026 Senate race, the Dems' hysterical focus on Elon Musk and DOGE, and the White House barring the Associated Press from an Oval Office gathering because it won't acknowledge the Gulf of America,First, Jim and Greg analyze a very early poll showing Republican Mike Rogers leading Pete Buttigieg in a hypothetical U.S. Senate matchup. Could the GOP win a Senate seat in Michigan for the first time in more than 30 years? They also discuss the weak fundraising numbers from New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen and debate whether New Hampshire might present a valuable GOP pickup opportunity in the 2026 elections.Next, Jim and Greg dive into the Democrats' exaggerated outrage over "unelected bureaucrats" making decisions within the executive branch, particularly regarding the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Democrats have long used the administrative state to push their policies, yet they now criticize the same system they've relied on.. However, they do encourage Elon Musk and his team to be more transparent about what they are finding so the American people can see it all.Finally, Jim and Greg react to the ongoing spat between the White House and the Associated Press (AP) over press access to the Oval Office. The White House allegedly blocked the AP from a pool of reporters during an Oval Office event because the wire service refuses to use “Gulf of America” instead of the preferred “Gulf of Mexico.” Please visit our great sponsors:Oraclehttps://Oracle.com/MARTINICut your current Cloud bill in half if you move to OCI.  See if your company qualifies today.

February 4, 2025 ~ The Michigan Senate is suing the House for not sending 9 bills to the Governor's desk. Craig Mauger breaks the lawsuit down with Kevin.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze three critical topics: the GOP's chances of flipping a Michigan Senate seat, whether China now has a significant lead in AI development, and bold predictions about AI's impact on society.First, they break down the implications of Michigan Senator Gary Peters' decision not to seek re-election in 2026. With Republicans narrowly missing a Senate seat there last cycle, could this be their best shot at a pickup in decades? Jim and Greg explore the political landscape and speculate on potential contenders for the open seat.Next, they scrutinize DeepSeek, a Chinese-linked artificial intelligence reportedly more advanced than U.S.-developed AI. Jim questions the company's claims about its development timeline and costs, while both hosts express frustration over Americans willingly embracing more Chinese-made tech that could compromise privacy and security.Finally, they react to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's provocative assertion that artificial intelligence may lead to significant societal restructuring. While they acknowledge the transformative power of technological breakthroughs, Jim and Greg can't help but roll their eyes at the dramatic, Bond villain-esque rhetoric surrounding AI's potential influence.

December 3, 2024 ~ The Michigan Senate has passed sunshine laws, but is now waiting for passage in the state House before heading to Governor Gretchen Whitmer's desk. Guy, Lloyd, and Jamie talk with State Senator Jeremy Moss (D-Southfield) about why the House hasn't voted on the package.

Mike Luckovich - Atlanta Journal Constitution On this week's agenda —  Donald Trump's strategy of avoiding prison by returning to the White House works - as special counsel Jack Smith drops the federal charges, and the sentencing for his 34-count New York conviction gets delayed. Trump refuses to allow FBI vetting of his top appointments, the first time that's happened since Watergate. Trump's latest potential lawsuit: claims from Gibson Guitars that his latest grift, selling guitars, violates their trademarks for the iconic Les Paul guitar … which means here's your first-ever link to Guitar World. Trump's proposed tariffs pose a huge threat to Michigan's economy on three fronts: automobile production that links the U.S. with both Canada and Mexico; disrupting trade with our neighbors to the north; and threatening agricultural exports to China Whooping cough cases are surging nationally and in Michigan, the inevitable result of the anti-vaccine movement Democrats gear up for their last month of control in the Legislature. We are joined by Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks about the agenda. Winnie Brinks is the first woman to serve as Senate Majority Leader, as well as being the first woman to represent Grand Rapids in the Michigan Senate since Eva McCall Hamilton was elected in 1920. She cares deeply about clean drinking water in Michigan and has worked tirelessly on efforts to reduce the prevalence of toxic PFAS chemicals in it. In addition to accessible, clean water, her policy passions include improving equity in maternal health care, reproductive rights, reducing prescription drug costs, and helping uplift local communities and organizations. Before being elected to the state House, where she served three terms, Brinks was a caseworker at The Source, helping businesses and nonprofits improve workplaces and retain employees. She also worked as the director of a community-based corrections agency and as a school paraprofessional. Brinks is a graduate of Calvin College, where she earned a bachelor's degree in Spanish with a concentration in sociology. She and her husband Steve, a Spanish teacher, live in Grand Rapids and are the parents of three daughters, Olivia, Annalise and Emma. =========================== This episode is sponsored in part by EPIC ▪ MRA, a full service survey research firm with expertise in • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management Adam Zyglis - Buffalo News

On this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation about mental health challenges for people who build and maintain roads and bridges. Gregg Brunner, chief engineer and chief operations officer at the Michigan Department of Transportation, spoke about the issue last month on a panel convened by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.As someone who has spent a career focusing on the safety of the transportation system and work zones, Brunner said his interest in making improvements was piqued as he pored through crash reports and visited the scenes. He learned of the toll crashes, especially where road work is occurring, takes on the workers. Members of the panel shared some chilling statistics, including: Overall, suicides in the U.S. increased to 49,300 in 2023, up from 48,183 since just 2021. In the construction industry, 5,000 workers died by suicide in 2022, which climbed to 7,000 by 2023. By contrast, the industry loses an estimated 1,000 annually to construction site incidents.In Michigan, a construction worker is now 12 times more likely to die by suicide rather than due to an on-the-job injury.There is a 75 percent remission rate for mental health and even substance abuse issues if one stays engaged six months to a year in a treatment plan. Also discussed: The Michigan Senate recently adopted legislation to allow the use of safety cameras in work zones to monitor vehicle speeds and initiate citations for those exceeding work zone speed limits. On a previous episode of the podcast, Juan Pava, Safety Programs Unit chief of the Bureau of Safety Programs and Engineering at the Illinois Department of Transportation, talked about the success of a similar program there. 

November 8, 2024 ~ Yesterday, the Michigan Senate approve a plan to allow cameras and automatic speeding tickets in construction zones. Lance Binoniemi, Vice President of Government Affairs at the Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association, joins Kevin to explain why he supports this bill.

The Final Argument We are recording on Halloween, going into the final weekend. There's lots to unpack as candidates up and down the ballot make their final pitches…and we look forward to saying goodbye to endless text messages and breathless emails begging for money. Trump recreates a 1939 Nazi Rally at Madison Square Garden, while Kamala Harris attracts 75-thousand to the staging area of Trump's 2021 unsuccessful insurrection. The race for the Michigan Senate is a nail-biter … as are three critical races for Michigan seats in Congress. On this week's podcast, we look in depth at the latest Michigan polling from EPIC/MRA. We are joined by Bernie Porn about the numbers released today, and about the challenges of figuring out who will vote, how they will vote, and  why.

October 8, 2024 ~ Lloyd, Jamie, and Dave LewAllen talk with Detroit Free Press columnist ML Elrick about his investigation into the residency of Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers, and the many politicians entering their names into the possible race to be the next mayor of Detroit.

From the giant Project 2025 book to her viral speech on the Michigan Senate floor in 2022, Sen. Mallory McMorrow and Sami talk about all of it. Although many call her a communications guru, McMorrow says she's just authentic in the way she talks to people, and that's what people connect with. Sami and McMorrow also discuss ways you can be engaged with politics, even if you don't want to run for office. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome back to Daily Detroit, your go-to podcast for all things happening in Southeast Michigan. In today's episode, Jer Staes is joined by journalist Steve Friess to dive deep into the current political landscape leading up to the general election. They kick things off with a discussion on early voting in Michigan, expressing confusion over the lack of a coordinated push from election officials and candidates alike. The conversation then shifts to the national stage, examining the recent poll numbers that show a tight race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, with a surprising 9.7% for RFK Jr. They debate the implications of these numbers and the potential influence of RFK Jr.'s candidacy on the election outcome. Jer and Steve also explore the impact of the Dobbs decision on the women's vote and the importance of having Kamala Harris, a vocal abortion rights proponent, at the top of the ticket. They discuss the potential VP picks for Harris, weighing the pros and cons of candidates like Mark Kelly, Josh Shapiro, and Pete Buttigieg. We talk about the Michigan Senate race, highlighting the head-to-head poll showing Elissa Slotkin leading over Mike Rogers in the General. They discuss the challenges in the Democratic Primary that Hill Harper faces as a first-time candidate and the broader implications for Michigan politics. And finally Jer and Steve both reviews of the Gretchen Whitmer book, "True Gretch," and came to two different conlusions.

Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow always wanted to design cars. While that didn't quite pan out—although she did spend some time working for Mattel on Hot Wheels—she has made a name for herself as a legislator after a speech she gave on the Michigan Senate floor rebuking GOP culture wars went viral in 2022. Sen. McMorrow joined David to talk about her Catholic upbringing rooted in service, her journey from industrial design to politics, the war in the Middle East and her disgust over politicization of human suffering, Michigan politics, and why she thinks Democrats need to prioritize good candidates at all levels of government.
